I thought the song "could I be you" is a good song for this chapter, so I'm making this a song fic as well as a continuing chapter. I don't own beyblade, got it?

"Hi Kai," Aura said as they left school.
"I was supposed to pass on that you're supposed to train with us today," Kai said, staring ahead of him with a blank expression.
"Alright," she said, smiling up at him, even though he only looked at her from the corner of his eye. "I'll be a bit late though, I REFUSE to beyblade in a skirt."
Kai looked down on her, almost cracking a smile. She seemed so cheerful, almost unafraid of showing emotions, as if she was hiding nothing. She seemed innocent and small. She laughed at everything and sharing her emotions with everyone. He could never be that, she was everything he wished he could be, even if he barely knew her.

*There is something wrong With the sum of us I can't seem to erase How can I be The only one Without a smile on my face When now*

Kai walked slowly through Tyson's gate, seeing Aura already there. She was smiling, being accepted, and that was all she needed. However bad he felt, he could look to her, and envy yet love her happiness. He was in awe of her.

*You're laughing out loud At just the though of being alive And I was wondering Could I just be you tonight*

She launched the blade, grimacing at the sound, which brought back her memories. She must feel terrible. He looked down at her blade, seeing it falter as she grimaced. She would have to focus or she wouldn't get it right. He had been taught to cover all emotion when beyblading. Her blade stopped faltering, and she started excelling at an amazing rate, improving with every second.

*You show your pain Like it really hurts And I can't even Start to feel mine And I'm standing in place With my head first And I shake I shake I shake And I see your progress Stretched out for miles And miles*

She looked so happy. Aura slowly faded into glee, becoming one with the beyblade she was controlling. She had it zooming across the yard and dodging different obstacles like soda cans and plastic cups. She looked so happy, loving the sport she once fell in love with. She seemed in ecstasy.

*And you're laughing out loud At just the thought of being alive And I was wondering Could I just be you tonight*

He ran forward to get a better look. Tyson and Ray were cheering for her, watching as she played like a pro. He wanted to yell to, to say something encouraging, but nothing came out. How could he not speak, it's as if he didn't even know how. What could he say to encourage her, as if he was better? When he looked at her, all he could see was all the things wrong with him.

*This is the sound I make These are the words I chose But somehow the right thing to say Just wont come out*

Why hadn't he seen it before? She looked beautiful, smiling as she was. She seemed to shine. How could he be thinking this? Was he falling in love with her? He didn't even know her. She looked up at him for a moment. She looked into Kai's eyes, and saw the disappointing shock, and redirected her gaze back to her blade. Her smile faded a bit, but she slowly rejoined herself with her blade. Her smile never rekindled to its full shine.

*And you're laughing out loud At just the thought of being alive And I was wondering Could I just be you Tonight*

He stepped forward as her blade intentionally stopped spinning. "How did I do?" She looked up into Kai's eyes, searching for some form of encouragement from him. But he never responded, in awe of everything she was.
"Guys, I have to go home." she looked at the ground. Aura's smile was fading fast. ".You know," she looked up in a fake smile "homework."
"Yea, I know what you mean," Hillary smiled.
Ray noticed her pain and put a hand on her back, guiding her through the gate and handing her, her beyblade, which she had forgotten on the ground.
Kai just watched her leave. Why couldn't he talk to her? Why was she so upset? There were too many questions rushing through his head, more than any he had asked before in his life.
