Lirin: sry...

Chibi Rei: she does feel really bad for making everyone wait.

Chibi Lirin:yeah. but she didn't know how she wanted to start the chapter

Lirin: okay, that's enough of making me feel down. so beyblade is not mine. and thank you everyone who has reviewed and waited for updates.

just a side note. this chapter is the start 10 yrs after Rei got brought to the Hellhole known as the abbey. so now he is 17 and Lirin is 16 and you can figure everyone else's ages around that.

Chapter 12: Ten Years Later

As time went on in the Abbey the boys slowly changed. Tala had disappeared several times, sometimes for weeks on end, only to come back and be more disconnected from the team and more obedient to Boris. This in turn, caused Bryan to block out his emotions for the wolf and eventually everyone else. Spencer decided to stay out of the way and became silent. And then there was Ian who was the only hope for the team. Boris allowed the boy to retain his mischievous ways.

But there was also Rei. During his five years here. He became the most powerful blader in the place. He was Boris's favorite pet that was not allowed to be experimented on. Rei had this pure power that he feared losing if the boy was somehow damaged or changed. Rei was the idle blader. He was mean and uncaring and only wanting more power. Or so it seemed. During the nights he would occasionally sneak over to the girls' side of the building and spend sometime with the other neko-jin.

"Rei, where are you going?" Ian asked one night after the dark dragon had awoken from another nightmare.

"It's none of your business midget. So stop asking questions." Rei snarled back.

"Dude, you don't have to be so harsh. I was just wondering."

Rei let the last comment go as he slammed the door to his shared room. The guards knew not to question the dragon if he was walking around after curfew. So he had an easy time making to the dungeon door where the two sides connected.

Lirin lay awake on her small bed. She had recently been returned to her room from the dungeons, where the guards turned her into a bloody mess. But thanks to Frostbites power, the wounds she sustained were mostly healed when a light knocking came from her door.

"Are you expecting anyone?" the ice dragon asked.

'No.'

"Then be cautious child. And call me if you need help."

Without making a noise, Lirin slipped off her bed and over to the door. It was times like this she wished she had a looker in her door. Taking a deep calming breath, she opened the door a creak to see who was there. And in the shadows were two piecing golden eyes staring at her.

"Lir can I come in?" the boy asked.

Nodding dumbly, she opened the door the rest of the way and allowed Rei to enter. Two seconds after crossing the doorway, Rei had Lirin pinned to the wall in a deep kiss. Several minutes passed before they parted for air.

"I take it you had another nightmare." she asked.

"Yeah." Rei replied looking at the floor. "You don't mind that I came over here, do you?"

"I never do Rei, just as long as we don't get caught."

Rei smiled at her before claiming her lips again.

The sun was just starting to rise in Tokyo, when an alarm clock sounded bringing a young teen out of his dream. Like most morning the sound distracted him from hearing the young dark hair golden eyed beauty's name. He didn't know if this person was male or female, or what they really looked like, but for years now this person has been haunting his dreams.

"Kai are you up yet?" a gruff voice yelled from outside his room.

'If I wasn't, then I am now.'

"Yes Grandfather. I'll be down in a couple of minutes."

"You better be."

Kai listened to the footsteps fade down the hall before rolling off his bed to get ready. It was turning out to be his usual morning. Up and training by 5 before leaving for school at 7. And if he was lucky, he'd have time to grab a bite to eat for breakfast after his shower.

"Ah you're finally here." Voltaire greeted his grandson when Kai pushed opened the heavy wooden door to the training room.

"So what am I doing this morning?" Kai replied leaning up against the wall and crossing his arms.

"Ten laps around the house, 50 pushup and 50 sit up. You have 30 minutes to complete it."

"Whatever."

Within 25minutes the duel hair teen walked back into the training room covered in sweat. "I'm done. What else do I have to do, sir?"

Voltaire looked over to the boy who was leaning against the wall again. His cold eyes searching the body to see if he could figure if he had skipped part of the training. "That was faster then I expected Kai. Are you sure you're done?"

"Of course I am."

"Fine, then go shower and get ready for school. I'm afraid I must be off on an emergency trip to Russia. I won't be back for a few weeks. But I've left Riff with your training schedule. And you are to return home immediately after school."

Kai nodded his head and left the cold room to enjoy his hot shower. This day was going to be better then he thought it would be. Actually the next few weeks would be good.

Lirin: okay so from now one i'll be mainly focusing on Rei, Kai and Lirin. and hopefully this will start to pick up so.

Chibis: please review
