Kyoya sat in the warehouse on some crates alone. Even though it was cold outside it was pretty warm in the warehouse. He liked it there anyway. Nobody really came here except for Benkei and Sandra just because they knew he was there.

Kyoya heard a knock and looked at the door. Sandra poked her head inside. "Mind if I disturb you?" she asked.

"Go ahead," Kyoya invited, getting up. Sandra came in but she wasn't the only one. A young girl followed her. The girl saw Kyoya and hid behind Sandra, looking a little scared. Sandra smiled at the girl and put a hand on her shoulder, comfortingly.

"It's alright," she soothed. She then looked back at Kyoya. "This is Amanda. She's staying with me and Alex until we can find her a good home." Kyoya nodded and Sandra looked back at Amanda. "This is Kyoya, Amanda. He's a really good friend of mine, so you have no reason to be afraid. He can have a little temper though."

Amanda nodded and locked eyes with Kyoya. "Hi," she said.

"Hey," Kyoya returned her greeting.

"Don't worry. He'll grow on you," Sandra assured Amanda. She then led Amanda over to Kyoya. "I have a favor to ask you."

"What do you need?" Kyoya asked.

"I need to go finish up my Christmas shopping. I was wondering if you could watch Amanda for me while I was out. Alex would've but she had to go out too," Sandra explained.

Kyoya thought for a moment. He glanced at Amanda. The once scared girl now had a blank gaze, her eyes fixed on Kyoya. Her gaze was more curious now than anything. Kyoya then looked back at Sandra. "Fine," he agreed.

Sandra smiled. "Thanks," she said before looking at Amanda. "Now Amanda, while I'm gone, you're staying here with Kyoya. Be good, ok? I'll be back soon."

Amanda nodded. "Ok, Sandra. I'll be good."

"Good," Sandra replied. "Thanks again, Kyoya. I'll be back to pick her up soon." With that, Sandra left.

Kyoya leaped back up on the crates and laid down, closing his eyes. He soon opened them again though because he could feel Amanda's curious gaze burning into him. "What?" he asked.

"Do you live here?" Amanda asked.

"And what if I do?" Kyoya countered.

"It's not a bad thing. It just shows that your independent," Amanda replied. She then climbed up until she sat beside Kyoya. Kyoya watched her, impressed. He didn't expect her to be able to climb up there so easily. Amanda noticed this. "Don't be so impressed. I lived on the street by myself until Sandra found me."

Kyoya shrugged. "Good point."

"How'd you get those scars?" Amanda asked.

"My father," Kyoya answered simply.

Amanda stayed silent for a moment before speaking again. "Do you have a bey?" she asked.

"Yeah, do you?" Kyoya questioned.

"No, but I wish I did. Alex showed me how she repaired them and told me all about the battles she had seen. It sounds so fun," Amanda answered.

"What bey would you get if you had the choice?" Kyoya asked.

"I don't know. I haven't seen that many," Amanda replied.

"Well, what's your favorite animal?" Kyoya questioned.

Amanda thought for a moment. "Well, I love all sorts of animals, but if I had to choose one, I would choose a lioness. They're fierce and brave and strong and proud."

Kyoya blinked and smiled. She's actually growing on me. He then got an idea. My dad may have been bad to me, but I'm not going to be like that to this girl. I'm going to make her Christmas special.

Please R&R :)
