No one ask about the silver lining comment at the beginning of the last
chapter. I wrote it a long time ago at camp after my best friend ran away
in the middle of the night. When I went to go find her, I brought her that.
After she read that, she felt better. I thought it was cute. I found it the
other day and decided to write a story based off it. Well, here it is. I
really enjoy writing it and I hope you enjoy reading it.
I don't own Beyblade; never will in a million years.
-------------------------------------------------------
Kai went to school the next day and sat himself next to Aura. That day, more girls joined; a Sarah, a Noako, and a Rachel. There were new girls in other classes too, but all Kai cared about was the girl sitting next to him. The first few classes went by in a blur. There wasn't much he seemed to pay attention too. During lunch break Kai walked off to the cafeteria for lunch. He sat at a table all by himself; that is until Aura came and sat down across from him.
"Why do you sit by yourself?" Aura gave him a sincere look.
"Go away," he replied, blocking his eyes with his hand.
"What's wrong?" she asked, not seeming to give up hope. She looked at him and noticed that he didn't have anything to eat. "Is it because you don't have a lunch?"
"I said GO AWAY." He didn't want to admit that he had forgotten his lunch out of frustration at his beyblade.
"Fine," she looked down dejectedly and got up and walked away. Kai uncovered his eyes and looked down in front of him. She left her lunch there. "HEY, YOU FORGOT SOMETHING!!!" Kai yelled after her, but all she did was wave and then turned around, still looking at the ground.
"You keep it."
He barely heard her, but still knew what she said. It was in a neat paper bag with the letters BBA on it. He opened it up and inside was a neatly packed lunch. Why did she give it to him? No one had ever been so nice before. He looked up at her fading figure in admiration and thankfulness.
"Hey Kai," Tyson said as Kai entered Tyson's property.
"What's up Kai, you look a bit distracted?" Ray asked, noticing that Kai was looking at the ground.
"Oh, it's nothing."
"We really should be TRAINING!" Hillary yelled from behind them, surprising them all.
"DON'T DO THAT!!" Tyson yelled back.
"FORTY LAPS NOW!!!" Hillary yelled, so they all started running laps.
By the time they were done running, everyone was worn out. The phone rang from inside and Tyson could hear his grandfather yelling for him to pick it up.
"Fine, I'll go," said Hillary, seeing as everyone else was too tired to get up. From afar the words, "Hello," and "Okay, be right over," were heard. Hillary came back saying "Mr. Dickinson wants us over at BBA headquarters to discuss the tournament."
Aura handed her brother a bowl of macaroni and cheese before grabbing her coat and walking out the door. Alex nodded a thank you, frowning and picking up his spoon and began to eat.
Alex had been silent ever since he was kicked out of Biovolt. Alex was a good blader, but lost one match. At Biovolt, one match meant everything. He was thrown out on the street with no place to go but with his sister. His face was frozen in shock for a while, and he still hadn't spoken a single word.
Mr. Dickinson had wanted to talk with Aura about the upcoming tournament, and was told to bring her blading gear. It almost hurt for her to beyblade. She used to love it, it gave her a wonderful feeling, but beyblading is what caused her brother so much pain, and pain of others who were in Biovolt, her friends and enemies.
Aura walked in through the main entrance and up two flights of stairs. The secretary led her into Mr. Dickinson's office and she sat herself down. "Hello Mr. Dickinson. Long time no see."
"Ah Aura, good to see you. I wanted to talk to you about the upcoming tournament."
"What about it?"
"I would very much appreciate it if you would join."
"What?"
The Blade Breakers made their way down the hallway lead by the secretary. She left them at the door to the office, saying that someone was already inside. Everyone pressed their ears against the door to hear a familiar voice.
"Sir, you know I gave up beyblading."
"I know dear, I just also know that you are good. What happened? Beyblading used to be your favorite thing to do."
"You know very well what happened."
"But that shouldn't stop you."
Tyson could hear the situation getting tense. He knocked on the door, which made everyone else outside give a sigh of relief.
"Come in," yelled the voice of Mr. Dickinson.
The whole team entered precociously. Kai looked around and saw Aura sitting in front of Mr. Dickinson, frowning slightly.
"Hey Aura," Max said cheerfully.
"Oh, you know the Blade Breakers?" Mr. Dickinson looked shocked.
"Sort of," she looked down slightly embarrassed. "I don't really know their names."
Introductions went around, and Aura reintroduced herself.
"So, what are you doing here?" Tyson asked politely.
"Umm." Aura looked down at the ground.
"I was just asking Aura to join the tournament. Aura, if you win the tournament, you get to face of against the Blade Breakers, either one, or all of them, depending on how much time is to be given towards the tournament."
"I thought you said you didn't beyblade," Ray looked at her questioningly.
"I don't. I gave it up a long time ago, for, certain reasons."
"But she was very good, and so I would like it if she joined in again." Mr. Dickinson said, filling in the rest of what was going on.
"Come on, it will be fun," Hillary said in her cheery manner.
"How can you say anything, you don't beyblade," Tyson gave her a funny look.
"Well I help, and I was just trying to help here."
Hillary and Tyson got into a mock fight, making faces at each other and flailing their hands at one another. Kenny jumped between the two.
"STOP IT!! Is it possible to have a civilized conversation with you two in the same room?"
"Obviously not," Kai said, speaking for the first time since they had gotten there. "I think it," he paused, looking at the ground, stumbling over words, "It would be nice if you did it, joined the tournament, I mean."
Aura shut her eyes in deep concentration. "I'll do it. It wont be easy for me, but I can't just run away from everything." Aura sighed once then walked out of the office, the Blade Breakers trailing behind her. She slowed down and went in the back of the line to talk with Kai.
"Hey," she looked at him for a second and then down at the ground.
"Hey," Kai looked at her and his face turned slightly pink, "Umm, thanks for giving me your lunch yesterday."
"It was no problem. I wasn't hungry anyway."
"Hey, are you hungry now?" Kai nodded so she addressed the entire team. "I had someone watching my brother. I thought this was going to be a long meeting. If anyone wants to go out to lunch, my treat, your quite welcome to."
"HEY, I'M IN!" Tyson shouted as they all walked out the main doors.
"Okay," Aura smiled politely as everyone nodded in agreement.
"Careful Aura, Tyson is a human vacuum," Hillary commented, giving Tyson a face.
"That's okay, I have a huge budget."
Kai looked over at the smiling girl. He hadn't been feeling so good after that long training and running that Hillary had put the team to. When he saw her smile, all his disappointments just seemed to wash away and his day seemed to shine.
Everyone was sitting at a round table at Town Pizza ((hey, I couldn't think up a name)). A huge cheese pizza was set down between them. Ray picked up a piece, and then started asking questions.
"So Aura, what made you quit beyblading?"
"It's a long story," Aura picked up a slice of pizza and placed it on her plate.
"Well we're not going anywhere," Hillary said.
"Umm, I guess I could tell you. A little while ago, a huge beyblading program in Russia was shut down."
"Biovolt." Kai said uncomfortably.
"Yea, you've heard of it?"
"We're the reason it shut down," Tyson said proudly.
"Oh. Well, anyway, my brother and I were both in that program. My mother signed us up for it when we were little, since my father ran the program." "YOUR FATHER WAS BORIS?" Tyson yelled, with food still in his mouth. "Yea, I wasn't very proud. When I was in it, I had made a friend there. He and I were the best bladers in the abbey at the time. I was always a little better than him. He really wanted power. One day, they showed us a really cool and powerful blade. He wanted it. I asked him not to, but he did. He snuck out, took it, tested it out in the training room, and lost control, destroying half the room itself. I saw him, and after taking one good look at my face, he ran away. I ran away as well, because I could barely tolerate the abbey with a friend, without one, it was unbearable He never came back. I guess I sort of feel that beyblading took away my friends." Kai looked up. This sounded like when he was in Biovolt. He had tried to use Black Dranzer, and ended up making a huge mess of it all. But he didn't remember Aura. For a while, he couldn't even remember Black Dranzer at all, because out of shock, had blocked it out of his memory. Maybe she was blocked out too. "Then my brother joined Biovolt." "Who's your brother?" Max asked before taking another bite at his pizza. "His name's Alex." There were a few shocked looks at this comment. "Do you know him too?" "Yea, I beat him the day we first visited the abbey," Tyson said, eyes open wide. "Oh. Well, when you beat him, he got kicked out of the abbey. My father hated failure. Beyblading was everything to Alex. He was in so much shock that he became depressed and stopped talking. He lived with me in Russia for a while, and then we moved here, to Japan, where I was born." "You live in Japan? With who?" Ray looked up curiously. "With my brother, and my mom's maids and butlers. All the money my father earned was either put into Biovolt for his own amusement or sent to my mother, and dad made a lot of money. My mother loved my dad, so when he got sent to jail, she became so depressed that she took an overdose on medicine and died. She emptied out the medicine cabinet, actually. Beyblading sent my dad to jail. So in the end, beyblading just took away my life." "That's terrible." Kai looked at her, feeling her pain, and put an arm around her. Even though he wasn't sure if this was a long lost friend, he was sure she needed one. He generally wasn't this caring, but somehow, was compelled to feel bed for her and reach out with a helping hand. "I don't know. I'm sort of used to it now. I just haven't bladed in a while, and I don't know how I'll feel about it." "Well, don't worry," Hillary said "we'll be routing for you, and we'll be there till the end." "Thanks guys," she said, hiding back tears "you don't even know how much that means to me." 'Even though they're doing it out of pity.' She thought to herself.
