Anyway, I hope you enjoy it.
Kitsune Ria: There is a reason why he already is strongly attracted to Aura so soon ^_^ gonna have to read the rest to find out.
Disclaimer: I own nothing, nada, zip. But I own Aura; she is MINE!!! I just contradicted myself didn't I?
Kai: Yup
Neko: YOU HAVE TO BE SOMEWHERE ELSE
Meru: NEKO!!! YOU MADE IT!!! Kai, get into the fic now.
Kai: But I don't wanna
Meru and Neko: Well tough

Aura left Tyson's house with Kai and Ray trailing behind her.
"Why are you following me?" Aura said, whipping around when doing so.
"Because we are supposed to tell you to be here tomorrow," Ray said coolly.
"I can't make it. I have to visit someone at the hospital. He's like family, and I can't let him down." Kai gave her a weird look as if she was a bug.
"Alright," Ray said, motioning for Kai to follow him back inside. Once outside of everyone's earshot, Ray yanked at Kai. "WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR?"
"Do what?"
"She looked to you for moral support, and you looked at her like some freak."
"I, I didn't mean to," he looked shocked. It never occurred to him that he was the reason she seemed upset.
"Well, you should be careful. She seems to be really warming up to you. You just keep giving her the cold shoulder. If you keep going this way, she might think you hate her," with that, Ray walked off.
"I, I, I," he didn't know what to say.
The next day, Aura made her way to the hospital. There was an old man named Bob who had been there for a month. When she was doing volunteer work there, she had been assigned to decorating his room with flowers. She talked to him for a bit, and they became friends. Even though it was rare to be friends with the elderly, he had become like her closest friend. She told him about all her problems, about starting school, how her family was pretty much deteriorated. Once in a while, his grandchildren would come in, carrying beyblades, and she would help them assemble the tiny jagged tops. She also explained the entire game to him. The only thing wrong with the entire picture, was that he had cancer. It would slowly eat away at him until there was nothing left.
She entered the hospital to see the little grandchildren playing with their beyblades in the lobby. "Hi J.P. Hi Aaron."
"Hi Aura," they chimed in unison.
"Why are you out here?"
"Because the doctors say that grandpa is sleeping, and they don't want kids in the room," said the younger, Aaron. He looked really disappointed.
"Oh, well, when he wakes up, you'll be able to see him." She then gave each of them a light hug and moved on to Bob's room. She pushed open the door to find everyone looking upset. A doctor pulled her outside and whispered in her ear "he's dying."
"What," she said weakly. She ran inside and saw him on the bed, a family member at each hand. She ran by his head, tears welling up in her eyes.
"You've been such a sweet girl," he said, as if nothing bad was happening.
"How can you be so calm?" she said, her voice shaking.
"Because, dear, I want this. I've been in pain for so long. This is like a long rest for me. You've been so sweet to everyone. Why don't you put all that kindness out into the world? J.P. and Aaron love you. And I'm sure that hard-set boy you told me about could use a friend like you. I'm glad you went back into that bey sport thing, you really seem to like it. I don't want you to be afraid. Oh, you left your photon album here last time you came. Don't forget it. Promise me you wont be upset because of all this," and he fell into eternal slumber before she could reply. Even if she wanted to reply, she couldn't. She was completely choked up. She kissed him lightly on the forehead, as a token of respect, and ran out of the building.
She did all she could to hold back her tears. She ran, clutching her photo album in her hand. She made it to Tyson's house. She didn't know why she went there, but the first person she saw was Kai.
"Aura, I." he looked a bit upset, but she couldn't listen, she just needed a friend.
She ran forward and broke down into his arms, buried her face in his chest and cried her eyes out. He wrapped her arms awkwardly around her, and on instinct whispered comforting words in her ear. He didn't even know what he was saying, just that she needed him right now, and that was all he really knew how to do.
