[Morning- Aurora's Hut]
"Kai! Aurora!" A voice rang in from outside, disturbing the quietness.
Aurora moaned softly and opened her eyes, she blinked, letting the light settle over her eyes. She slowly looked beside her, and gazed at Kai's sleeping face. She gently brushed a strand of hair out of his face.
Slowly, she pulled the blanket over his face, hiding his face and body. Sitting up, she pulled on her blue night gown, just as Tyson bursted into the hut.
"Aurora!" He called out, breathing hard.
"Tyson, what's wrong?" Aurora asked, sitting up more.
"Jana's missing! She's been missing since last night, Aeris said that her bed wasn't even touched. We have to go look for her!" With that, he turned and ran out.
Aurora flung her sheets aside, and stepped onto the ground. Turning she reached down and pulled the blanket off of Kai's face and shook him softly, Kai groaned and slowly opened his eyes.
He saw... a pair of lavender eyes, unfocused, he reached out and grabbed her hand quickly. "Kamila..." Then frowning, it's Aurora's face in front of his eyes, his eyes widened and he let go of her hand. "Aurora."
She looked at him through sad eyes, and pulled her hand back. "Jana's missing, we have to go look for her." With that, she disappeared, exiting the hut. Kai flipped onto his beck and covered his face then sighed.
[Outside]
Aurora walked forwards and saw Aeris walking towards her, a worried look on her face. "Aurora, Jana's missing!"
"I heard, Tyson told me, let's split up and look for her."
Aeris nodded and ran off, Aurora looked after her, then turned towards Jana's hut. Walking inside Jana's hut, she looked around and caught a sight of Ferra, she walked over and picked it up.
[Forest]
Jana wiped at her face as she felt something drop onto her, she then put her head down onto her knees. She hasn't slept at all, what happened last night is still fresh in her memory.
Softly, a tap came onto her shoulder, she looked up and saw Aurora looking down at her. Aurora looked at her, then moved and sat down besides her on the tree log, waiting for Jana to start, and she did just that.
"Is it time for our practice?" She asked quietly.
"No... you're not focused right now, it won't be of any use." Aurora said, looking away.
Jana slowly turned towards her, she studied her. She should hate her, but she can't. Why can't she hate her? She sighed and titled her head, if she hates Aurora... then Kai would hate her.
"I heard your conversation with Kai last night." Aurora turned towards her, waiting for her to continue. "He really does love you, I can see it in his eyes, it's something that I've never seen before."
"I don't love him."
"Why not?"
"I love someone else."
"Who?"
"Tala."
Jana frowned, a red haired guy appeared in her mind, she frowned, where had she seen him before? "I've seen him before."
"Where?" Aurora turned to her surprised.
"I don't remember." Jana answered quietly. "That's beyond my point, Kai's a good person... why don't you..."
"You can't force your feelings, it's not my choice. If I can have a say over what I should feel, then I'll do my best to love Kai back." Aurora then turned towards Jana. "However... that didn't sound right, did it? It made Kai sound like a thing that can be claimed by anyone, he's not like that, you know him."
Jana nodded slowly. "You've known him for a long time, huh?"
Aurora smiled and brushed some of her hair back. "Yeah... we grew up together. In everyone's eyes, Kai's like an older brother, in my eyes, he's like my younger brother. He had a rough childhood, he's confused... I'm only here to guide him." Aurora turned toward Jana with a comforting smile. "Jana, be strong, Kai is still confused... so are you." She spoke, softly, but it was like a bomb that had exploded inside Jana.
With a whimper, Jana threw herself into Aurora's arms, tears coming down. The elder girl patted her back softly, letting her know she's there for her. "Why can't he love me? I've always been there for him through everything! Why can't he ever look at me?" Jana cried, letting out all her anger, pain, and disappointment.
Just like that, they sat there, forgetting space and time. Soon Jana calmed down, she just sat there breathing. Aurora pushed some of her hair out of her face, in truth, she really likes Jana. She believes that only someone like her can bring Kai out of his shadowed past. She doesn't understand why Kai doesn't like her either, maybe it's because of her... perhaps it's because of Kamila.
Slowly, Jana pulled away from Aurora and wiped away her tear stains on her cheeks. The two girls looked at each other and smiled, Aurora then pulled Ferra out of her pocket and handed it to Jana, she took it with a bright smile.
"Now, can we practice?"
"Of course, but first let's get back." Aurora stood up and offered Jana a hand.
[Living Area]
"There they are!" Aeris called out and ran over, catching Jana in a bear hug. "Jana, we were so worried about you! Where were you?"
Jana smiled shyly and pulled at her shirt. "Sorry... I was lost and couldn't find my way back here."
"Don't do that again, you scared us to death!"
"Jana!" Max called out as he and the others ran towards her.
"Sorry everyone, I got lost and couldn't find my way back here." Jana said again, not looking at Kai. Aurora looked at Jana, then met Kai's eyes, she sighed inwardly and dropped her gaze. Under this circumstance... maybe it's the best if Kai and her took a little time off from seeing each other every day.
"Jana, forget it! I'm just glad that you're back! Now, you can attend my brithday party!" Aeris said, beaming.
Everyone looked at her, eyes wide, it's her birthday? How come they just knew?
"But... we don't..." Kenny started.
"No buts, you have to come, my father would be delighted to meet all of you!" Aeris then looked towards the sun and smiled. "I need to go prepare, don't be late, it's going to be in the main hall!"
With that, she waved her hand and ran off, leaving everyone dazed, Jana frowned. "It's her birthday? What am I going to get her?"
[Night- Main Hall]
"Wow... so many people here!" Tyson exclaimed, then looked at Ray teasingly. "She is the leader's only daughter, you know."
Ray just coughed awkwardly and looked away, Aurora walked behind all of them, taking in the view, it sure is different from the last time she was here.
"Ray, you guys!" Aeris called out from the head table, waving at them with a middle aged man sitting beside her.
They walked closer, the man's eyes held them. Suddenly, Ferra shook underneath Jana's jacket, making her gasp. Aurora turned to her, Jana put her hand over Ferra, trying to calm it down. They walked closer and closer to the table, Ferra glowed even more.
Aurora frowned, Jana took in a deep breath and handed Ferra to her, whom held it thightly. And slowly, Aurora disembled Ferra, then looked up. Her eyes locked with Aeris's father's eyes. Something's deep within those eyes, something...
"Greetings, friends from far, I am Aeris's father, thank you for coming to Aeris's birthday party, please, sit." His eyes watched all of them as Aeris stood up and let them in, with Ray sitting next to her.
Aurora walked past Aeris's father, their eyes met again, he looked at her emotionlessly, then his eyes slid down to Ferra in her hand. She nodded politely and delibrately chose a seat far away from him, Captain Turner.
"Then, let the dinner begin!" Captain Turner said powerfully.
Fire was lit up, people chatted and laughed, many people went up to Aeris, to wish her a happy birthday.
"This is so different from the party that we used to have." Tyson commented, loooking at his plateful of food, not knowing how to start.
"This is Mongolia, their traditions are different from ours, this is how they celebrate their brithdays, especially when it's a leader's daughter."
"Yeah... but how do we eat this?" Tyson whispered nervously, there're plates full of food in front of him, but he can't even touch them.
"Just follow me." Aurora said back, and picked up her eating utensiles.
Dinner, passed by noisily with everyone talking loudly beside them. Aurora ate slowly, looking up, her eyes made contact with Captain Turner's again, she dropped her gaze quickly, something's definitely weird about him. Beside her, Kenny shifted around nervously, getting Aurora's attention.
"Something's wrong?" She whispered, Kenny pushed up his glasses nervously.
"I don't know... I feel that someone's starring at me all the time."
"Everyone, let's dance! Come on!" Aeris said, standing up, dragging Ray into the middle of the room. People followed her action, couples stood on the dance floor happily.
"Come with me." Aurora said, and dragged Kenny onto the dance floor, Kai looked up and his eyes followed them. Aurora dragged Kenny into a crowd of people, she looked around, searching for something... or perhaps... maybe nothing.
"Aurora, what's up between you and Kai?" Kenny asked curiously, Aurora looked back at him.
"What do you mean?"
"You guys are avoiding each other, did you guys have a fight or something?"
"Far from it." Aurora raised a somewhat sad smile.
"Kai... he really loves you, he was always thinking about you in these 3 years."
"He's not in love with me." Aurora began softly, sighing. She let her eyes drift off behind Kenny's shoulder. "We grew up together, I was the only female he came into contact with until he left the Abbey, even after that, he didn't come in contact with many females. I guess... it's' my fault in the first place, I think I may have gave him the false image of him behing in love with me."
"So... you're saying that he isn't in love with you?" Kenny looked at her confused.
"I don't know... I find that, after you guys returned from Detnuah, I cannot read him anymore."
"Yeah.. it's kind of strange now that you mention it, after I returned from Detnuah, I sometimes think that I have lost a part of my memory. I do not have any data on what we did in Detnuah, and I don't remember what exactly happened on Detnuah. Sometimes, I dream that I'm back in Detnuah, and then there'll be this girl. She has long black hair with red stips, and lavender eyes... just like yours, then there's a panther near her feet. Then I'll see us... the Blade Breakers and Jana, we're standing there... watching that girl fighting... seems to be fighting against other people... I don't remember anything after that." Kenny admitted.
Aurora looked at him, so their memory had been wiped out, but by whom? Kamila? Or maybe.. Thgil. Suddenly, a loud cheer interrupted her thoughts, her and Kenny stopped moving and turned towards the center of the room.
There, Aeris pulled Ray down by his neck and kissed him full on his lips, with everyone cheering around her. Aurora and Kenny watched on amused, she had sensed the attraction between them when they first met... never knew they could move so fast.
After a moment, Aeris released Ray, whom blushed scarlet red and had a surprised look in his eyes. Aeris looked at him and breathed in and out, after a minute, she smiled and laughed, wiping away the red lipstick mark on Ray's lips. He smiled back at her.
"That was the best birthday gift I have ever gotten in my entire life, thanks Ray." She said, loud enough just for everyone to hear.
Everyone in the room clapped and cheered, Aeris smiled and laid her head onto Ray's shoulder, whom wrapped his arms around her loosely, a smile playing on both of their lips.
Aurora smiled as well, tilting her head, suddenly, something caught her eyes, a figure moved outside of the huge hut. She looked towards the exit with doubt... why would anyone be outside during a time like this? She then looked around the room and found that Captain Turner is looking towards the exit of the hut as well. Aurora looked down then glanced at the Blade Breakers, whom all seemed normal, she then looked towards Kenny and then suddenly, something hit her.
"Kenny, where's Dizzi?" She asked quickly, Kenny turned to her and blinked.
"Dizzi? I left her in my hut today."
"Come, hurry, Dizzi's in trouble." Without a word, Aurora dragged Kenny outside, and ran towards Kenny's hut.
The Blade Breakers caught their action and frowned, they looked at each other nodded. Simultaneously, they ran after them, Ray pulled Aeris behind him, catching her off guard, and almost fell down.
Kenny ran after Aurora, whom, dispite her long dress can run pretty fast. Kenny breathed in and out, trying to keep on going. "Aurora.. how can you run this fast?"
"Part of training routine back in the Abbey, so Kai should catch up soon." Aurora said easily, breathing a bit faster than before.
Then without another word, they headed straight towards Kenny's hut, bursting in, Kenny flickered on the light. They both looked around the room, nothing's changed, everything's the same, everything's in order.
Both of them turned towards his table, Dizzi... is gone....
TBC....
AN: Everyone seemed to be interested about Aeris Turner, you all know that the Blade Breakers are in Mongolia, and in Mongolia, there're leaders for parts of the place. Aeris is the only daughter of the leader of their area, she knows how to beyblade as well, and was contacted by Mr. Dickenson to take care of the Blade Breakers when they would arrive there.
