Chapter 3: Exodus

["She'll be the strongest female...she'll be just like Kai and Tala, but with a difference: she'll be not only the first female blader we have, but we're also going to give her a very important status for the future. She will be our way to evolution."]

Kai opened his eyes, sunlight already entering through the half open curtains, while life seemed to have bloom outisde, and scratched the back of his neck.

Then, still with Boris' voice playing inside his head, Kai sat on the bed and took a deep breath: why had such memory came to the surface again?

Kai had heard Boris talking with someone, probably Voltaire, about a girl, during one of his attempts to go see Black Dranzer. Kai was 10 at the time and though the conversation had caught his attention, the bluish-grey haired boy managed to forget about it a couple of days later.

Sadly, when Kai had finally managed to forget all about the girl he had yet to see, she had appeared.

Kai could still remember when he walked inside Boris' office, along with Tala and saw the girl. And Kai could also remember the way Tala had reacted when he saw her: cletched fists, emotionless face yet dangerous flames concealed by his almost gelid aqua-blue eyes...

Kai remembered how he had stood on the same place, studying the girl in front of him: dark reddish-orange hair, gentle yet piercing aqua-green eyes....she even reminded Kai of Tala in a way, though she still felt emotions and was far weaker than Tala or him.

As he leaned his head against the headboard, Kai crossed his arms and pictured the tatoo on Nami's arm in his mind; Kai had seen the same tatoo on the arm of the girl he had met at the Abbey and that had been how he knew the girl from his past and Nami were the same.

That had been how Kai knew the girl he had met eight years ago, was the same one that was sleeping in Ray's room.

After shaking his head in an attempt to prevent his mind from making questions, Kai got up from the bed and, after dressing in his usual clothes, he walked out of the room.

Kai was silently making his way to the other floor, when he passed besides Ray's room and stopped his tracks. Maybe he could go check on the tatoo again, while Nami was sleeping.

To be honest, Kai didn't knew why he had to see the tatoo; it wasn't like it had changed during the night yet he felt the need to go see it.

{Are you sure it's the tatoo you want to go see?} a voice asked suddenly in Kai's mind, as the boy put a hand over the knob of the door that connected to Ray's room

{What else would I want to see?} Kai asked back

{Well, I don't know.} the voice said, sarcastically {Why don't we think about it? There's a girl in that room who not only has a tatoo in her arm, but that also has a connection to your past. Oh and can't forget she's pretty for a human."}

{Dranzer, shut up.} Kai growled, as he lowered his hand and walked away.

"Well, I don't care what you think, that only shows how irresponsible you are!" Hillary's voice exclaimed from the kitchen, as Kai walked down the stairs

"Oh yeah? And who do you think you are? Miss Perfect?" Tyson asked back and Kai crossed his arms, before walking inside the kitchen, where he saw Tyson and Hillary fighting again, Chief tapping furiously on his laptop and Max eating breakfast.

Without caring about the noise, Kai sat on a chair and started eating when Ray walked inside:

"Hey guys, what about a little bit of silence?" the black haired boy asked, as he looked to his friends "Did you forgot there's a girl resting on the other floor?"

"Never thought you would care that much about the girl, Ray." Tyson commented, as he temporarily stopped his fight with Hillary "What would Mariah say about all this, I wonder."

Ray blushed, but silently thanked Hillary for starting her discussion with Tyson again, since he didn't wanted to answer.

"How's Nami, by the way?" Max asked and Ray shruged:

"I dunno, I was expecting Hillary would answer that, but since she's still fighting with Tyson..." the black haired boy trailled off and Max looked at the brunette:

"Hey Hillary, how's Nami going?" the blonde haired boy asked, hoping Hillary had heard his question

"And school is one week away and you haven't bought your books Tyson, that's..." Hillary trailled off, as she looked at Max "Oh, she's sleeping if that's what you want to mean, but I have changed her clothes anyway. It's funny how my clothes fit in her."

"How long do you think she'll be sleeping?" Tyson asked and Ray sighed:

"Well, as we all know Nami would be better in a hospital, but since she can't go there....well, I dunno how much blood she lost, but I think by the end of the week Nami will be fine." he said, before shruging "Then again, I'm not a doctor, I'm only saying what I read in a few books."

"Do you think she'll go to school with us?" Max asked and both Tyson and Ray shruged, while Hillary put her hands on her hips:

"But of course she's going to school with us." the brunette said catching everyone's, but Kai and Chief's, attention "Mr. Dickinson asked me to buy her books, because he believes Nami will be around for a long time."

"Why does he think that?" Tyson asked, an eyebrow raised

"Hey guys, can you believe I can't find anything about Nami, except that Tokio's hospital is still looking for her?" Chief asked suddenly, as he took his eyes off his laptop to see his friends

"They're still looking for her?" Ray asked, as he walked to Chief's side

"How's that possible?" Max asked, at the same time

"Well, a patient did run away from the hospital and I think the police is also looking for her, now." Dizzi said "And it's also true that I couldn't find anything else about this mysterious girl."

"Hmph, I told you, she's from the Abbey, you won't find a thing about her." Kai said, suddenly "But we need to stop the police from looking for Nami."

"And why's that?" Tyson asked, as he looked at his friend

"Because if Boris finds out she's here, he'll probably take her back to Russia." Kai stated

"Oh, does Mr Anti-Social actually cares?" Tyson teased, but Kai ignrored him by walking out of the kitchen

"If Kai's Mr Anti-Social, you're Mr Insensitive." Hillary commented, as she hit Tyson on the back of his head

Nami was sat on Ray's bed, staring at her bandaged wrists, when she heard the door being opened: even though she was lost in her thoughts, Nami learnt to stay alert all the time.

However, at the moment, Nami didn't wanted anyone there with her, specially if that person was Hillary who, despite being a good person, could be an obstacle in a person's loneliness.

The door being closed made Nami look up to face Kai Hiwatari, the second person the dark reddish-orange haired girl wished not to see so soon, being the first one the person Nami had left behind, for being to weak to fight.

"Do you need anything?" Nami managed to ask, as images of the most important person for her kept appearing in her mind

"Hmph, don't you think it's time to say what's going on?" Kai asked, as he crossed his arms

Nami looked down at her wrists again; yes, it was time to tell what was going on, after all, it had been that subject that had brought her to Japan, but at the moment Nami didn't felt strong enough to face Kai:

"Well?" Kai asked, a hint of annoyance in his voice "Are you or not a cavy for Boris? Are you or not the same girl I met at the Abbey almost eight years ago?"

Slowly Nami met Kai's gaze and nodded:

"Yes, I remember you next to my b....to Tala and in a way, yes, you can say I'm a cavy for Boris." she replied

"Why did you run away from the Abbey? And how?" Kai asked and Nami put a lock of hair behind a ear:

"I escaped because I needed to warn you, the Bladebreakers, about Boris' plans." she explained "And I escaped thanks to my....Tala's help."

"Tala's help?" Kai repeated, an eyebrow raised and Nami nodded "Do you really expect me to believe Tala Ivanov, from the Demolition-Boys, helped you to escape from the Abbey?"

"It's true." Nami said, as she cletched her fists "Tala isn't the monster you think he is."

"Of course not, he's more like insane." Kai said back

"He's not insane!" Nami shouted, angrily "He's a good person!"

"Whatever." Kai said "Why did you tried to kill yourself?"

"Why do you care?" Nami asked back and Kai shruged:

"I don't." he replied "But I think it will be for the best of everyone, if you tell us what happened."

"Then tell me, have you ever dreamt about something that looks so real that all you want is to wake up?" Nami asked and Kai stared at her, in silence

"Why do you want to know?" the bluish-grey haired boy asked, after a few seconds

"Because that's Boris plan." Nami replied, before taking a deep breath "A reality unreal."

Kai stared into Nami's eyes for a couple of seconds, but before the silence could be broken by one of the two, the door was opened:

"Ah, so you're here, huh?" Ray asked, a smile on his face

"Hmph, what do you want?" Kai asked, as he looked at the boy

"Just wanted to ask Nami," Ray looked at the dar reddish-orange haired girl "if she wants to eat. Hillary was complaining that you look to thin and pale."

"Er...yeah, I would like to." Nami said unsure, as she layed a hand over her stomach

"Need help to go downstairs?" Ray asked, as Nami ran her legs through the maitress and got up:

"Nah, I'm ok." the girl said and Ray smiled:

"Well, come with me then, I'll show you the house while we go to the kitchen."

Nami only nodded before following the black haired boy out of the room, at the same time she felt Kai's eyes on her back.

"Of course I don't mind, but lets face it; Nami needs to go back to the hospital. Have you even think how it will be if the police finds out we kept her here?"

At the sound of that voice, Nami opened her eyes wide: go back? No, she couldn't go back, they would probably find her that way and then....then all she had done had been in vain.

When he noticed how pale Nami was, as they were walking down the stairs, Ray put a hand over the girl's shoulder:

"Don't worry, nothing is going to happen." he said and Nami looked at him, in silence.

Maybe she was asking for the impossible, and maybe her escape had been for nothing.

While Japan had welcome a sunny day, Russia woke up to face a gloomy day: rain was falling slowly on the streets, people were wearing dark cloats, to protect themselves from the cold, but some happiness could still be felt everytime children laughed or started playing under the rain, before being pulled away by their parents.

However, there was a place in Moscow that was far from happiness or sadness, for it was more close to darkness and an aura of mystery surrounded the place.

It was a place which looked abandoned and there were even some parts of it that had began to fall into pieces, but the truth was that life still existed inside the old and tall walls.

Many were the ones who believed the Abbey had been abandoned and forgotten, but they were wrong; the Abbey was away from the past, for it was still embraced by the present and being welcome by the future.

Inside one of the many cold rooms, computers, large tubes where people could easily be put inside and many other tecnological things could be found. It was a very scary room, specially when light was the last thing to enter there.

Nevertheless, it was there that the most unusual plan was having place.

"Where are they?" a voice asked, in the middle of various computers "We need to get this done, now!"

"I'm sorry Sir, but we cannot find one of the experiments." a man dressed in a white gown said, as he slowly approached a man dressed in a long and large black cloat, a black mask protecting his face "He is not when we left him, yesterday."

"Then find him!" the man with the mask exclaimed, angrily "This is the perfect plan and nothing, I repeat, nothing, can go wrong. Go get that useless piece of human and put him inside the tube so we can test everything again!"

When the man in white stood on the same place, feeling to scared by his boss's voice to move, the man with the mask turned at him:

"Are you deaf or something? Go get him, now!"

"Yes Sir, right away Sir." the man said, before practically running to the exit and desappear through the door.

As he was surrounded by silence, the man with the mask turned to the four huge screens in front of him and watched as three teenagers walked inside three of the four tubes, his arms and legs now tightly secured with large ropes, while various types of small wires were connected with their skulls and foreheads.

"Hmph, these three aren't as important as the other one." the man said, to himself "I need him and her. They are the perfect candidates for this." a smirk appeared on the man's face, as he started typing in a keyboard and, in seconds, a picture appeared in the four screens: a picture of a dark-reddish orange haired girl.

"You could have been my perfect masterpiece, but now you're almost a failed experiment." the man commented, as he stared at the picture in front of him "But we can reverse it, all you need is a simple push and that..."

"Sir, we found him!" a man said, as he walked inside the room and the man smiled:

"I can give it to you." he finished, before laughing as a maniac.

«««»»»

The day had passed quickly, between Tyson and Hillary's fights, Ray's cookings, Chief's researchs, Max happiness and Kai's silence.

During that day, Nami had got used to the noise and screams the unusual group made, but many had been the times when she would mentally ask for silence and for the loneliness she was used to. But the dark reddish-orange haired girl knew silence and loneliness were two things she would never have, while she was around the Bladebreakers and their friends.

With a sigh, Nami looked through the window next to her and stared at the already visible First Quarter, that already enchanted the almost dark sky with it's beauty and mystery.

'Of course I don't mind, but lets face it; Nami needs to go back to the hospital. Have you even think how it will be if the police finds out we kept her here?'

Those words kept appearing inside Nami's head and no matter what the girl did, they just didn't desappeared. And the girl knew why.

Because she needed to go back, even though she was too scared of doing so.

Beacause she needed to go back, even if that meant everything would go down the drain as soon as they found out where she was.

Mentally, Nami shook her head and stared at the Moon: so long had passed since she last saw night approach her without feeling scared of the shadows and darkness.

However, Nami still felt scared of going to sleep, for she knew something could happen; something unreal yet so real enough to make her wish for a light or smooth words with enough power to calm her nervous heart down.

But now Nami was too far away from the light or from the smooth words, and she knew she had to fight alone.

"Hey, does any of you want to play cards?" Tyson asked suddenly, breaking the silence and Nami's thoughts

"It's a miracle!" Hillary exclaimed, her eyes open wide "You actually want to play something other than beyblade."

"Haha, very funny." the blue haired boy sai sarcastically, before looking at his friends "Is there anyone up for a game?"

"I am." Ray said suddenly, and he put the book he had been reading down

"Yeah, me too." Max said, as he stopped writing something in a book

"What about you Kenny? Kai? Nami?" Tyson asked, as he looked at his three friends

"Er...I dunno, I still need to make alot of research." Chief said, without taking his eyes off his laptop

"Ah, c'mon Kenny, do you want to fry my circuits or something?" Dizzi complained "We have been doing this for hours now, and I think we both need a break."

"Oh, all right, all right." Chief said, before closing his laptop "I'm on."

"What about you Kai?" Tyson asked as he looked to the corner of the living-room, where Kai was, arms crossed and back leaned against the wall

"Hmph." was all the bluish-grey haired boy said and Tyson raised an eyebrow:

"Is that an 'yes' or a 'no'?" he asked, but none answer came. Then, Tyson chuckled and looked at Nami "Hey Nami, wanna play?"

The dark reddish-orange haired girl looked at him in silence, for a couple of seconds, before sighing:

"I never played cards before." she replied, feeling slightly embarassed

"What?!" Max asked, as he blinked "You never played cards before?"

"How's that possible?" Tyson asked, as he stared at the Nami as if she had two heads instead of one.

Still blushing embarassed, Nami cleared her throat and looked at the group:

"Well, I only play beyblade." she said "I...well, lets say I never had fun in my whole life expect when I was really little."

"C'mon guys, let her be." Hillary said, before walking towards Nami's side and smile "Well, what are you waiting for? You'll watch a game or two, and then you'll join us. What do you think?"

A small smile enlighten Nami's features, as the girl nodded slowly and let Hillary lead her to the couch, right beside Kai.

"Are you sure you don't want to play, Kai?" Ray asked and Kai looked at him:

"Did I ever said anything to answer you?" he asked and Ray chuckled:

"Then c'mon, join us." he said "You're not expecting the cards to fly to you, are you?"

With a 'hmph', Kai walked towards his friends and sat between Max and Nami, who was bitting her lip nervously:

'Better have fun now, before it's too late.' the girl thought, at the same time Tyson suggested the game 'Go Fish'.

«««»»»

The First Quarter was already at the top of the sky, when everyone decided to go sleep. Everyone, except Nami who, though had walked inside Ray's room after saying 'goodnight', was preparing to do everything, but sleep.

Slowly, the dark reddish-orange haired girl walked towards one of the drawers next to the bed and opened it, only to come face to face with her treasure: her very own beyblade.

As she grabbed it, Nami couldn't help but thank Hillary for putting it inside the drawer, away from any eyes who could see it; mainly, Kai's eyes. Nami knew he would find out more about her by only examing her bit-beast and, thanks to Hillary, that didn't happened and it wouldn't, since Nami was planning leave that house as quickly as she could.

After a few minutes, Nami put her blade inside the black baggy pants Hillary had borrow her and, after staring on last time to the dark room, Nami opened the door and walked to the dark wall.

As slowly as she could, Nami walked to the other floor and cringed when she heard a snore coming from the living-room.

Confused by such sound, the dark reddish-orange haired girl walked towards the living-room and saw Ray sleeping on the couch. Such thing made Nami feel bad, since the boy had let her stay in his room, saying he had other place to sleep.

However, Nami never thought such place would be the couch.

'I'm sorry Ray.' Nami thought, before walking out of the living-room towards the main hall.

Then, when she reached the front door, Nami opened and quickly got out of the house, now feeling like a thief since she was trying to get away from the house just like one: quicly, silently and without being seen.

As she crossed the road, Nami couldn't help but looked at the house behind her and ask herself how a house with two floors still existed in the middle of Tokio, when all the other buildings around it where far more taller and scary.

It was like as if the house was the proof that past could coexist with the present, without conflict.

A sad smile appeared on Nami''s face, as the girl turned to her left, knowing that Tokio's Hospital was not far away from her position.

{Are you sure you want to do this?} a soft voice asked inside Nami's mind {You know you'll probably never come back.}

{Yes, I know, but what if the police found out I was with the Bladebreakers? What if they found out? No, I already did what I had to do and the Bladebreakers now know something is going to happen.} Nami replied, as she continued to walk towards the hospital, not aware someone was looking at her

{I continue to think 'a reality unreal' is not a good clue.} the voice said {They're probably even more confused than ever.}

{No, Kai is smart, he'll know about what I was talking about.} Nami stated {Besides, it's not like I could say anything else, I hardly know how everything will happen. Besides...}

Nami trailled off, when Tokio's Hospital came completely in to view: her heart was now beating faster than usual and her breath was coming irregular.

{Nami, calm down.} the soft voice inside the girl's mind instructed {If something bad happens, I am here.}

A really sad smile appeared in Nami's face, as such words made her remind the most important person to her.

'Forgive me, for I have failed.' was Nami's last thought, as the girl slowly made her way to the entrance of the hospital

"Where do you think you're going?" a voice asked in the darkness and, surprised, Nami looked over her shoulder and gasped
