"I hope you'll take care of Ferra." Aurora said, handing it to a stunned Jana, whom just held it dumbly.
"Jana?" Kenny asked unbelievably.
"Are you sure? I mean...." Max started, and Kai interruped him.
"She doesn't know how to blade, you've got the wrong person." He said coldly and frowned.
Aurora smiled, and brushed her hair back, and turned directly to Jana, whom still looks lost and confused. "Jana, I know you don't have a lot of experience in the blading department, and I know you may not want this responsibility... but you have to know that Ferra doesn't just choose anyone randomly, she chose you for a reason. I will help you, and the Blade Breaker will help you as well."
Tyson coughed and got everyone's attention, he looked at them nervously. "Um... Aurora, we only have about 1 month of training left, you expect her to be a perfect blader and beat whomever owns Cerebus? Isn't that kinda..."
"What's Cerebus and what am I supposed to do?" Jana asked excitedly, seeming to like this idea more than anyone else. She held up her beyblade and looked at it carefully. "Um... red and white, pretty. Now, I'm going to decorate it! Maybe... a few coats, um... what kind of fur? Beavers? Eagle? Or maybe..."
Aurora starred at her unbelievably, snapping her head around, she looked at the Blade Breakers surprised and questioningly.
Kenny just pretened to be wiping Dizzi, Tyson just started drinking, Max pretended to be counting the ants on the ground, Ray glanced around and around. Aurora's eyesight fell on Kai, whom met her gaze and sighed.
"Um... she's just like that." He said quietly, and looked at Jana with a frown.
A tired look appeared on Aurora, then slowly, she looked towards Jana, whom is still not over her excited stage. She studied Jana closely, and a smile appeared on her face. She now knows why Ferra chose her, she indeed is perfect for Ferra.
"Jana." Hearing her name, she looked up at Aurora curiously. "You have all the time in the world to spend with Ferra... right now, I think all of you should go and get some rest. If you are not tired, there's a party down stairs, you can always go join them."
"A party?" Max's head popped up and a smile appeared on his face. "I'm definitely up for that!"
"Yeah, I think some exercise would be good." Ray then looked at Tyson, and a playful smile appeared on his face. "And would definitely be good for Tyson!"
"Oh be quiet Ray! Speak for yourself!" Tyson retorted back.
"I think I'm going to upgrade Dizzi tonight, you guys have fun." Kenny said, while patting Dizzi.
"Kenny, you're always so serious. I'm definitely going to party all night long!" Jana said, practically bouncing up and down.
Aurora smiled at their enthusiasm and looked around, her friends are around her once again. Her eyes made contact with Kai's, they looked at each other, and Aurora's smile deepened. He's changed so much.
[Later]
Aurora smiled softly as Kai walked over to her, a gentle breeze lifting. Kai stopped beside her and placed a hand on her back. "Careful, the water's deep."
Aurora glanced down from her sitting position on the railing, her smile deepend, and she turned to face him. "You're still the same as before, when are you going to stop worrying about me?"
Kai let his hand slid down and he turned his head away. "I'll stop worrying once you finally marry me."
Aurora looked down thoughtfully. "Kai, how was Kamila?"
"You know her?" Kai snapped his head around surprised, a new emotion shone in his eyes. Aurora looked at his surprised face and turned out to the ocean again.
"I did some research on her before I left Detnuah 3 years ago, she's a very interesting person. However, she was cruel beyond belief!"
"No, she's not! Those are just legends, you don't know her like I do!" Kai said, immediately jumping to Kamila's defense.
"And the way she went around and played with all the guys' hearts is just desgrace to female kind!"
"She only loves one guy!" Kai said slowly, tightening his fists.
"Every record of her all stated how much like a slut she was, and said that she practically slept with every men in Detnuah, old and young. Moreover, she was also..."
"Quiet! You don't know anything about her!" Kai yelled, cutting off Aurora. Then, everything was silent, Kai's eyes widened, a shocked expression appeared on his face as he looked at Aurora. She blinked, a smile appearing in her eyes as she turned to look at him carefully.
"You've never raised your voice to me about anything, let along anyone." She stated slowly.
"I...." He stuttererd, not knowing what to say. She was his childhood friend, she was his first love. Until today, when he met her on this ship again, he thought he had forgotten about her already. If he did, then what's this feeling that he has right now? If he didn't, then why is he getting this emotional over Kamila? Someone whom may not even have existed.
"You love her." Aurora said.
"I love you." Kai said back as determined.
"I love Tala."
"He's dead."
Aurora looked at him and dropped her gaze, Kai reached up and cupped her face in his hands, forcing her to look at him.
"Aurora, Tala's dead, you have to move on. Step out of that shadow, and you'll see light waiting for you."
Aurora looked at him, pain shown in her eyes as she turned her face away towards the ocean again. Her long hair and clothing danced in the wind, it looked as if she'll fall anytime... fall into the wind.
"Kai... you don't understand, letting someone go from your life and moving on takes a lot of courage, and...." She broke off, blinking, perhaps trying to control the tears. "And I don't have that courage."
"Aurora..."
"Kai!" A cheerful voice rang out, both of them turned to look at the doorway, where an excited Jana appeared. Kai frowned slightly and moved a bit further away from Aurora.
"What do you want?"
"Kai, the party downstairs is so amazing! Let's go!" Jana said happily, without waiting for a reply, she dragged Kai down with her. Aurora's eyes followed them until they disappeared from her sight. She then turned back to the ocean again, Detnuah, a place that can change anyone. Maybe she should return someday.
[Flashback]
"Tala, do you mind passing me that fork?" Aurora asked and sat down. Tala reached over and picked up the fork, a second later, he dropped the fork onto the table. Both of them looked at the fork shocked and surprised, Tala lowerd his head and looked at his hands. Aurora looked at him and looked down, hiding her eyes. Realization shown in her eyes.
"Sorry about that."
"It's okay." She looked up with a smile. "I shouldn't have polished them that well."
He didn't say aything, she looked at him sadly and began eating again. Dinner was finished in silence.
[Night- Aurora's Room]
"Aurora." Tala called out softly as he stepped into her room, no one replied him.
Carefully, he moved over to her bed and laid down next to her, slowly he brushed a strand of her hair back.
"I'm sorry it has to end this way, these 3 months were the happiest time in my life. I know how much you want me to remember, but 'till death, I still don't remember our past. However, even without our past, I can still tell you confidently that I love you." He moved forwards and lightly brushed his lips over her forehead. "It's good that you're asleep... so you don't have to look at my state right now. I love you, I really do." With that, he closed his eyes.
After a moment, a tear slipped out of Aurora's eyes and she opened them. He thought she was asleep, but how can she sleep on a night like this?
She laid on her stomach, and looked at Tala, she's waiting for him to wake up. The moon set, the sun rose, a new day had started. She laid there, looking at him. The sun set again, the moon came up again, then the moon went down again, sunlight peaked through the curtains.
Two days have passed by, Tala still didn't wake up....
