Authors Note : I'm back! With the sequal! It took me less time this time since now... I have my own PC to type so I'll get on it at least once everyday now unlike twice in a week. So here it is!
Chapter 1
Kai was still cold - to everyone, though if he was alone with just the BladeBreakers, he would answer a few questions… Maybe depends on how he was feeling and today was not a good day.
Tyson was looking around for their captain; since they both had come home he had wanted to challenge Kai to beyblade battle. Of course when he had tried to talk to Kai, Sota or something else just interrupted and Tyson did not want to have to interrupt Sota. That would be a bad move.
The afternoon was warmer than the kind Kai or Sota enjoyed so stayed inside the dojo as much as they could, however the hyperactive child was not making company much appreciated.
"Kai! I want to sun to go away again…!" Sota squirmed, and fell down onto the floor, even the wooden floor boards where warm. Sota sighed, and rolled over onto her stomach.
"It's too warm!" She moaned, looking up at her brother was unusually; sitting down. Kai gave her an agitated glance, he did care for his sister but sometimes there where times he wished she was a little more - reserved.
Max came in; soaked - as it had been clearly heard a few of the BladeBreakers where having a water fight. Water and very warm days did not appeal much to the Hiwatari siblings.
"You should come out Kai." Max hoaxed his captain into playing. It would be an easy excuse to completely drench the boy. Kai only shook his head, and remained sitting.
"More water bombs for me then." As the blonde disappeared to the kitchen and came back out with a large basin with what looked about twenty large water balloons.
After a few minutes Kai and Sota hear an obvious yell of terror, which made both teen and child raise an eyebrow wondering what had just happened. There was faint yelling of 'I can't believe you just did that,' and 'I'm so sorry.'
Suddenly the door slide open and a very soaked Kenny came in. Not pleased with being covered in freezing water but also his computer could and may have been wrecked.
"Tyson! I told you not to come near me with that stupid gun!" Kenny was handed a few towels by a - near enough soaked Rei. From what it looked like they all seemed to be ending the game of a water war.
"I wasn't the one that hit you it was Max!" Tyson defended, smiling when Max looked oddly guilty at the remaining fact.
"You were the one that hit behind me!" Kenny moaned, not liking the feeling of cold, wet clothes.
"But if he had waited till I went away from you… Then you wouldn't be soaked would you." Max looked slightly outraged that he was getting blamed, but soon found a way to even things out when he realised he still had a water balloon in the basin…
After a few seconds, Tyson was chasing after Max around in circles in the living room; the surprised hit with the balloon did not only go on Tyson but again, on Kenny as well.
This scene continued for a few seconds before everyone froze when they saw Kai stand up and walk out of the room.
"What did we do?" Tyson and Max looked at each while Rei looked at Sota - being a relative and all, she might have known what was wrong…
"It's nothing… He's in a good mood." Sota smiled, and rolled over again onto her back she gave a small chuckle when the BladeBreakers looked oddly confused.
Kai was not under any circumstances going out in the sun, even just outside, was roasting… Kai couldn't help but leave; they were noisy, causing him to have a headache and still acting like five year olds… Standing outside in the little shade was, annoying nonetheless.
"Idiots…" Kai stood against one of the wooden frames that supported the wooden roof. He looked down at his feet, unsure of what to look at he closed his eyes. He couldn't think of anything that had to straighten out…
Kai couldn't help but want to laugh - he had no idea why… The thoughts and emotions he was having just in this year where confusing the hell out of him. He was wondering why - just a few months ago he was perfectly - cold to anyone, which was fine by him. Maybe almost dying three times in the space of six months was somewhat of an eye-opener?
"Kai!"
Kai looked up from where he stood, Tyson had somewhat a worried look on his face, and the living room door lay open.
"Phone…For you." Tyson tried to smile but when Kai frowned he thought it would best be forgotten.
As the BladeBreakers watched Kai pick up the phone; all they heard was Kai end of the conversation. Which was unnerving, "What do you want!" with that Kai frowned; his day couldn't get any worse… Being called by his brother was not on his favourite things list.
"No, what's the point?" Sota sat up, and looked contently at her brother, from what it appeared like - who ever was phoning was the brining of bad news.
"I don't care…" Kai hissed, really he was curious with the urgency in Aton's voice, which was unusual at any situation…
"Why are you brining that up?" Kai narrowed his eyes, and Sota thought that Kai may hang up on whoever was calling. The next thing was; Kai had no emotion on his face, sighed quickly and answered, "…Fine… We'll be back by tomorrow evening." With that Kai placed the phone down.
Kai looked down at his sister; the car was there - with some fanatics outside trying to get a glimpse of Kai or the World Champion. Still no one knew why Kai had to leave they just knew he was closing up again and becoming once again, cold to everyone. Sota herself became worried and told her newly found friends that she had never seen her brother like this before.
All that each of them knew is Kai and Sota where to go back to Russia immediately and even their plane tickets and other transport were all arranged for them to get to their home as fast as possible.
"So why do we have to leave?" Sota looked up at her brother, tears forming in her ocean coloured eyes. Kai hated those eyes the showed to much emotion, so much emotion that sometimes Kai would end up feeling the way she was. The main fact was she was too much like mother.
"You know fine well why." That was all he said before he got into the car, Sota nodded her head, she didn't really know. However she knew what it was concerning, whenever someone in the family died the rest of the family would come…
"Okay." Sota waved away to the BladeBreakers, who waved back. Max moved over to the window and called into the large limo,
"See you later Kai!"
"Whatever." The small window were black tinted, so when they were put up, no one could see inside or any of the Hiwatari siblings. Kai sounded as if he was saying bye to someone he hated with a passion - which again, confused and worried everyone.
Going back into the dojo, everyone sat there with their own dilemma and explanation to how Kai had acted.
"What put him in such a bad mood? He was quite happy this morning." Rei concluded; since it was a fact their was no harm in saying it.
"Till that phone call." Kenny looked about, wondering if anyone could add to list they had began listing.
"Yeah, wonder what's happening." Tyson looked at Kenny wondering if he had seen any news on something happening in Russia.
"I'm sure everything's fine, maybe Aton and Adonis just want to see him? He has been here since; well we all got out of hospital about three weeks ago." Rei concluded, sure his family would miss the two youngest.
"Yeah, they probably just want to see Kai and Sota." Max hadn't sat down for long, and now he had jumped up, and was standing waiting to get another beyblade battle done before the night came.
"With the relationship that Kai and Aton have I'm not surprised that Kai's in a bad mood about going back." Tyson mumbled he didn't really like Aton even though he had been bold enough to say sorry. There was something about him that he didn't trust…
A crowed airport put the icing on the cake for Kai, he hated crowds, and noisy people that talked anything but the truth. Lairs he knew a few in his time but… Kai shivered at the thought. Why do people lie so much… Kai shook the thought from his head, there was no time to think about something like that.
They were already in the limo, and Kai did not want to waste any time in finding out was so important.
"So what do you have to tell me, that's so important?" Kai sat back in the limo seat, awaiting a stupid answer that would probably make him go into a more foul mood than he was already in.
"It's about… Voltaire's death." Adonis was sure Kai would be upset when he realised that Voltaire did have a will… A most complicated one at that.
"I don't care about him; he's a maniac that should have died quicker than he did." Kai snapped, he looked at Aton who winced at the words. Something's wrong…
"That's the thing Kai…. Voltaire is dead and left a will."
"What? How did he manage to write a will? He died ages ago!"
"He did have a heart attack, so the doctors presume that he had been feeling, ill and the police reckon he wrote it just in time." Adonis watched as Kai looked back out of the window his expression unreadable, he was back to his emotionless ways.
"He didn't deserve to die so painlessly." Kai muttered; he didn't think it was fair that he was treated like this for so long… Then what he gets away with everything because he had a heart attack - a stroke?! Damn it… Kai gritted his teeth he really did think of how bad those police where, they couldn't even find a man before he died. An old one, at that.
"What did you say?" Aton looked at his younger brother then to his sister that was sitting near him. She seemed tired and was not paying attention - actually she was asleep…
"Hn." Kai turned back to his father; meeting his gaze - he had no idea why they were brining up Voltaire.
"Well, I think we shall discuss this in the house. I don't think Sota needs to know since she doesn't really know who Voltaire is…" Aton informed Kai, as Adonis sat comfortably watching his two sons - he thought by now they would both be able to be like they used to. Or was Aton's pride and Kai's hatred to powerful?
"Even though she was kidnapped by him and scared out of her mind?!" Kai was enraged by the suggestion - or what Kai hoped was just and only a suggestion.
"That's not what I'm saying!" Aton shouted back, awakening Sota in the process she blinked and looked along the members in the car and gave a brief smile to Adonis before hugging Kai's arm.
"Sounds like it." Kai hissed back, not wanting to frighten the youngest member of the family.
"Kai! Stop it. Voltaire is still a member of the Hiwatari family. We must respect his wishes." Adonis had had enough of the small squabbling, it seemed no matter who was present, or wherever they where - they would not get along.
"No he isn't… You exiled him - remember or do you just say those types of things when it suites you!" Kai was unable to control himself and did exactly what he didn't want to do as Sota whimpered, and tucked her head behind Kai's arm as possible.
Even if her dad was back - she didn't like him as much as her brother. She had never been saved by him in her mind.
"We must do as he says on the will! There's a large problem within it! For all members of us!" Adonis frowned, and Kai finally grasped the seriousness of the situation - what on earth was in this will.
Kai looked between his brother and father hoping they would pass on some information, no one said a word until they reached the house…
Kai sat back in one of the many meeting chairs. This could not be happening. His mind was blank for a few seconds.
How can that old man…. Still make my life hell - he's dead! DEAD! He shouldn't be able… To do any of this… This was all planned out…..He planned everything!
The Hiwatari family; turned pale as the will was read out by the lawyer that Voltaire put in charge.
The man was sitting as the instructions where read out…
" As my time in this world will soon end; and I have no suitable offspring, or grandchildren that are able to with hold the family name…"
Grandchildren, does that mean I wasn't your little puppet for as long as you liked eh Grandfather? Kai narrowed his eyes as the lawyer continued.
"…As a result I have taken it upon myself to try and get the Hiwatari name back into the string and proud family it once was. So as all the companies and also the mansions, holiday homes and other facilities they will not be given to the next of kin. In other words my son Adonis Hiwatari…"
What does that mean? We have no where to live? We have no money? Kai wasn't sure whether to be sad or angry… He blinked and looked over to his father, who was almost as white as the piece of paper the will had been written on itself.
"…Instead they will move out, IF they do not do as I order here. In this will…."
Do as he orders! They better not be anything… Irritating or stupid! Kai was glad that he might be able to save his wealth that he was so fondly used to. No one could get anywhere without money especially a Hiwatari. Over the centuries Hiwatari's had always had money and it had continued to grow through generations.
"… As there is some hope for the younger males of the Hiwatari family. In other words, Aton Hiwatari and Kai Hiwatari. They must be wed by their twenty-third birthday…"
Kai hadn't heard that right surely. He was thankful he was only eighteen this year by then again, Aton was twenty. This was not happening! What if the media heard this - what if those crazy… Girls heard about this - he wouldn't be left alone…
"He doesn't… He can't do this! He's been exiled he isn't a Hiwatari he was banned - he can't do this!" Kai jumped out of his seat banging a fist on the table in sheer rage. The lawyer stopped quoting the will. Everyone that was present, including the lawyer had felt sorry for the three main children of the Hiwatari family as they themselves had been unfortunate to have met Voltaire once or twice.
After a few moments the lawyer decided to intertwine as no one seemed to be getting anywhere trying to calm the youngest brother down.
"As all of the companies and other residence are in Voltaire's name he does, and can, as it states clearly he does not want the properties to go to his next of kin. In other words his son he can do so and has done so."
Kai sat back down hopelessly, he didn't know that with the more deeper reading into the will the worst it seemed to get.
"Now where was I…" The lawyer cleared his throat,
"… if they do not comply with this they shall not be legally allowed any property or residence in any of the land or places I have purchased or resided in. Also if they do managed to get married they must have a son within the year they wed…"
"He's being specific…" Aton muttered, There's more of a chance that we will end up on the streets that's why… Idiot. Kai glared at his brother as if it were his own fault to let this happen.
"…I would also like to input that Sota Hiwatari will never be allowed to control any company I have ever occupied as she is of course only a child and of course only a girl…"
Everyone frowned at the sexist views of the dead man's will. He really was a piece of work that was a bigot and an idiot in more than one way.
"…Also I would like to say that until my Grandchildren are married; they will not be allowed to participate in any sports activates, such as football or beyblading. This also includes practise of any sort. Since they can use the gym they will still be able to keep in shape. Of course, my Grandchildren may break these rules if they wish, and if they do - the whole family shall be moved out of the house and no money shall go to them…"
Kai could feel the whole rooms eyes on him… No, beyblading? Not even practising…? Is… He… I'll have to end up breaking this news to the BladeBreakers…What exactly can I say to the media…I can't ignore all those reporters forever…. Dranzer will not be pleased…Once this stupid will has been sorted out - I'm going to that old man's graze…
Kai glared at every eye that dared look at him, he was angry when he had come off the plane now he was just about to go down to hell itself and torture Voltaire for what he had done.
"… Also, no one may terminate this will, except only a living member of the Navia family. Which has to be over the age of sixteen, and female…" The lawyer rose an eyebrow to Adonis.
The children turned in confusion to their father - they had never heard the name before but who ever it was Adonis looked as if he was about to start yelling.
Why give us an option to terminate the will? Unless… All of these Navia people are dead? Then again he could just be tormenting us… Rubbing salt in the wound I guess...That sounds like Voltaire alright.
"…Also, my son, Adonis Hiwatari, must make sure that the women that marries my grandchildren are not known before this will is read out…"
Well this is just great… Not only do I have no choice to marry some girl, but I also have to actually make an effort to actually get one to marry me…
Aton glared, this meant that he and Kai would have to start courting… Which would be very bad since the amount of fan mail Kai received would mean death by numbers. Aton had more of a problem since no one knew him like his little brother - in other words if he were to say he was related to Kai. They would shoot him down in a matter of seconds for lying…
"…On closing if these requirements are not met by the time Aton reaches twenty three and/or Kai reaches the same age - the current residents (Adonis Hiwatari, Aton Hiwatari, Kai Hiwatari, and Sota Hiwatari) will be moved out and all my companies and other belongings shall be passed over to my old friend Boris…"
The lawyer placed the piece of paper that seemed to have just tore the lives of all of the Hiwatari's into pieces…
Author's Note: Why is it that I love to make Kai's life a misery... Oh well... Please review. I think this is going to be another long fic... So review it helps!
