Okay, so the last chapter was just a bit weird. It was only a little. Plus,
you the readers could have done the same thing. My friend Josh did it
during class and he didn't snap out of it until near the end of class. ^_^
Well, here is the next chapter.
Neko: Can I do the disclaimer? Please?
Meru: NO!! I wanna!!
Neko: I'll never be your friend again!!
Meru: NOT TRUE!! Fine, you can do it with me.
Neko: Meru does not own beyblade or any other anime or manga related thing, well, except for her online comic in the making, "Hell's Wrath".
Meru: Aura is my character, and that is all. But I will take pride in this story anyway. ^_^ Enjoy.
Neko: I WANT POPCORN!! ((She just got her braces off, so she can have it, YAY))
Kai: I made some.
Ray: We all did.
Meru: NO!!! YOU HAVE TO BE IN THE STORY, NOT THE DISCLAIMER!! GO AWAY!!
Tyson: Fine, no popcorn for you.
Neko: GIMME!!! *jumps on Tyson *
Tyson: NO MINE!!! *dust cloud appears, blocking the sight of most of the fight *
Meru: Whatever. I don't like popcorn.
Max: Oh, then can I have yours
Meru: No!! Kai can have it. Enjoy the fic everyone.
-----------------------------------
Kai walked into school the next day to see Aura there. What was up with last night? She acted as if she had amnesia.
"Good morning Kai," she said mid-yawn. "I feel like I didn't get any sleep at a-a," she then yawned, stretching out her arms as she did so.
"So you don't remember anything about last night at all?" ((Oh man, that sounded wrong, BUT ON WITH THE FIC, IGNORE MY PE)) Kai looked at her a bit weirdly, but careful not to look at her to harshly; he didn't want her to cry again.
"Well, vaguely. I remember being by the river, and well," she blushed a tiny bit, "You being really nice carrying me."
"Well, you weren't well," he also blushed again, "I would have done the same for anyone." He was lying through his teeth and he new it. He would have only done it for a select few people. He was just afraid to say that to Aura; he was almost ashamed to have even the slightest crush on her. It may have seemed immature, but he just didn't want mockery focused in his direction.
Classes started and during lunch Aura and Kai decided to sit outside. While they were talking out on a bench, a boy their age came to sit with them.
"Hey Wyatt," Kai said with a bit of concern in his voice. Wyatt had just gotten let out of the hospital, after trying to control a bit beast too powerful for him, he had been mentally and physically injured. Wyatt had to be rushed to the hospital and hadn't been out for a while. "How are you?"
"GREAT!!" He seemed as perky as ever. "Can I sit with you and your friend?"
"Sure," Aura answered for him "Take a seat."
"So, I'm Wyatt."
"Aura," they shook hands and Kai could tell that these two would get along well. When he saw how kind Aura was looking at Wyatt though, how he also seemed to be warming up so fast, he felt a pang of jealousy. He didn't truly understand why, but he still did.
"So, do you beyblade?" Wyatt addressed towards Aura.
"A little," Aura looked down at the ground. Kai guessed she was still under beyblading pressure.
"Are you entering the tournament?"
"Yes, she is," Kai said a bit stiffly, before Aura could reply.
"That's awesome, I am too! We might face each other!" Wyatt looked so excited.
"Are you sure it's a good idea for you to be back into beyblading so soon?" Kai asked.
"It's not so bad. I'll be fine."
"This will be so much fun!" Kai wasn't sure how much Aura was masking, but after that statement, knew she was defiantly hiding her opinion on the tournament.
"Yea. Oh, lunch is over." Wyatt stood up while talking, eyes on his watch.
"Alright, see you at the tournament."
'That's right,' Kai thought 'The tournament tomorrow.'
Kai and Aura walked back to the classroom together. "Hey Aura," Kai said, looking at the ground "Don't you feel a bit uncomfortable about the tournament?"
"Well, just a little." Aura looked at the ground as well, signaling that it was probably a good idea to change the subject. Kai looked up at her, as they sat down at their desks. And so school continued.
After school, Aura left to get changed and Kai made his way towards the river. Alex and the butler and Maid were by the river with the Blade Breakers setting up what looked like a party.
"Hey Kai," Ray yelled "We're doing a party in honor of the tournament tomorrow."
"Yea homey," Tyson's grandfather had snuck up behind him, making him jolt. "You gonna help out?"
"Sure," Kai gave a smirk, walking over and helped decorate a cake.
"There's supposed to be a meteor shower tonight," the plump little maid said with a wide grin, "It should be wonderful to watch."
Aura made her way slowly towards the river. "What if I'm not ready?" Aura said to herself as she walked. She still wasn't sure if this tournament was what she truly wanted to do. What with her deteriorated family, half hearted friends, and people leaving her left and right, she was sure she was going to crumble.
She kicked a pebble as she went over a bridge, looking at her baggy red pants. She and her friend had bought tons of the exact same clothes, her colors being red and black, his being blue black, almost like twins. Kids had called her a tomboy, which wasn't necessarily false. She had also bought tons of other things that her friend had also bought. They had even both bought the same face paint for Halloween. She had stuck to that style ever since. It was like her trademark.
She walked slowly down the hill and followed the river to the meeting place. She was sick of training. For her, it was like every time, it wasn't painful, but she felt like she was falling yet falling. Feeling the exact opposites at the same time. Her memory would reel, taking away a bit of her happiness. And the fact that the people around her reminded her so much of her old life, with such seemingly nice people, made her feel really down.
She pulled out her beyblade and looked at the picture on the bit chip. There was a picture of a phoenix, so much like Kai's Dranzer. Morrigun, her trusty bit beast. It had been passed down from generation to generation on her mother's side of the family. A symbol for her mother, the one thing she wasn't willing to give her husband. Aura had worked with Morrigun since as long as she could beybladed. They were partners.
She still remembered the first time Morrigun appeared for her. She was beyblading, and her mother was watching. When her beyblade hit a rock, the attack and defense ring broke. Her mother picked it up, took it inside, and when she came back, Morrigun had been put in. She remembered the flying sensation when Morrigun came out for the first time. When Aura first saw Morrigun, she looked her, Morrigun, in the eye with brain dead shock. She and Morrigun became like friends, trusting each other and becoming fused as one.
Aura shoved Morrigun back in her pocket. She couldn't let the Blade Breakers know about Morrigun, that was her little surprise.
She looked up at the sound of music. The sun was setting to their her left, making the entire scene seem almost like a painting. She ran forward, eyeing the Blade Breakers. They were all standing there waiting.
"Took you long enough," Tyson said in his usual slightly peeved tone, "I was getting hungry."
"What is all this?"
"Well, we all thought that it would be a good idea to throw you a party," Ray stepped forward with a camcorder in one hand and waving his other hand at the group of people behind him. "You had been working too hard. We understand how hard this is for you, and we figured that training and worrying about tomorrow will only make things worse."
"I CALL THE CAKE!!" Max yelled spontaneously.
"The whole thing?" Aura heard Kenny say as she zoned out, walking towards the edge of the river. The song on the radio changed and she looked out on the water, letting the music carry her mind away. Kai watched from afar, wishing just slightly that Aura would notice him the way he noticed her. What could she be thinking?
*What are you doing tonight
I wish I could be a fly on your wall
Are you really alone
Still in your dreams
Why can't I bring you into my life
What would it take to make to see that I'm alive*
Kai stared at her until the sun went down. She seemed angelic as she turned around, the sun behind her making her glow. She walked away from the river, smiling, and ran for the ice cream. She walked right by him, almost as if he wasn't there.
*If I was invisible
Then I could just watch you in your room
If I was invincible
I'd make you mine tonight
If hearts were unbreakable
Then I could just tell you where I stand
I would be the smartest man
If I was invisible
Wait...I already am*
Her eyes seemed to twinkle in the moonlight as they set up blankets on the ground, preparing for the meteor shower. He tried to yell to her over the others, but it only came out in a whisper, so didn't hear him. His eyes followed her, as she ran around excitedly. Again, she seemed much better than he ever was.
*I saw your face in the crowd
I called your name
You don't hear a sound
I keep tracking your steps
Each move you make
Wish I could be what goes through your mind
Wish you could touch me with the colors of your life*
Everything was set up. Kai moved to lay down with the rest of them and gaze at the stars above. Aura didn't feel like sitting so she walked over to the hill. He wanted to sit next to her, but didn't feel comfortable. Kai didn't trust his emotions. He just watched her.
*If I was invisible
Then I could just watch you in your room
If I was invincible
I'd make you mine tonight
If hearts were unbreakable
Then I could just tell you where I stand
I would be the smartest man
If I was invisible
Wait...I already am*
The first meteor flashed by, and more followed. Everyone stood up to see. Aura got really excited and started running around. He still pitied her, and knew she was masking so much. She was very good at keeping a poker face, and he felt for that. She had been through as much as he had, maybe more, and she didn't deserve that.
She started spinning around and almost fell. Kai ran out to grab her, but Ray caught her right before he could make it.
"You might want to be careful," he smiled sweetly at her, pulling her up "We can't have you getting hurt before tomorrow's match."
"Thanks," she said, standing up straight and smoothing out her clothes on instinct.
* I reach out
But you don't even see me
Even when I'm screaming
Baby, you don't hear me
I am nothing without you
Just a shadow passing through...*
She sat down and started to shiver. She was wearing a sleeveless leather shirt, so she had the right to be cold. Kai walked over, gathering up his courage, and handed her his scarf.
"Won't you be cold without it?" she said, looking up with concern.
Kai just shook his head no. "Thanks!" she wrapped the scarf around her neck and curled up in a ball. Surprisingly, the scarf actually warmed her up quite a bit. "Look, I'm sorry I acted so messed up last night. I guess I was so upset about everything that my brain needed a reboot." She looked up at him in an apologetic sort of way. He just sat down next to her and smiled. She gave him a hug, which shocked him, and then continued looking up at the sky.
*If I was invisible
Then I could just watch you in your room
If I was invincible
I'd make you mine tonight
If hearts were unbreakable
Then I could just tell you where I stand
I would be the smartest man
If I was invisible*
A really large meteor passed by and she said, almost as if she was about to cry, "Make a wish." He glanced at her. Why was she crying? But he knew better than to ask, and just looked up at the sky with her, wishing just that she could be happy.
*Wait.. I already am*
