Chapter 2
Reasons for Pain
Aia: Hello again. Argh…too many stories for me to work on! Anyways plz continue reading this story.
"Kiara, there you are!" A boy a little older than Kiara said as he ran outside. Kiara looked timidly at him.
"Sorry Kovu," she said trying to hide her bruises.
"Kit…You know you're not supposed to play with those boys," Kovu said leading Kiara back inside. Their mother was asleep on the couch.
"Mom's drunk again?" Kiara asked. Kovu looked at the floor.
"You want something to eat?" he asked.
"Yes please," Kiara said hugging her brother.
Aia stared at Rei. Her face growing redder. She stared at her feet not knowing what to say.
"Uhhh…" she looked up and noticed Rei had moved closer to her. He took her hand in his and began to lean closer to her but then Lee came running over.
"Aia, supp…er…" Lee said staring at the two.
"Uh…got to go Rei! See you tomorrow!" Aia said pulling her hand from him. She smiled at him and took off with her brother. A couple of days later Lee and Aia's grandfather asked all six of them to gather around the big tree near Rei's hut.
"Let me first say that you are all excellent bladers and that you make a great team. I know all of you want bitbeasts but only one of you will get Drigger. Mariah, Kevin and Gary, here are your bitbeasts. Lee, you get Galieon and Aia, you get Ashita. Rei, you are very special. I entrust you with Drigger," Lee's grandfather said, giving Rei the sacred bitbeast. Rei looked at the bitbeast in surprise. Aia stared at him then at her own. Her face looked a bit hurt. That night Aia lay awake on her bed. She heard the door open. It was Lee.
"You can't sleep either?" Lee asked.
"No…" she replied, staring at the floor.
A girl with light brownh hair stared out of the airplane window. Tears running down her cheeks. She was leaving the only home she knew. Her dad looked at her.
"Don't worry Krys, you'll make new friends and besides with all the money I'll
be making, you'll be able to get anything you want."
"I want to stay in Japan…" Krys uttered.Her voice barely a whisper. Her father patted her on the back. Krys turned away from her father and let sleep claim her.
"It's not fair. I mean, I work twice as hard as Rei and he gets it!" Aia said with her head resting on her knees. Lee looked at the wall in dismay.
"There's nothing we can do now," he said leaving the room.
"That's what you think…" Aia mummbled smirking.
Krys gazed at her new house in England. London was definitely different from Japan. For starters, everyone spoke funny and the climat was different. In Japan, there were shops and houses everywhere. In England, it was different. It was mainly green land with huge estates scattered everywhere. Krys knew that she wasn't going to get used to this anytime soon. She took a deep breath and prepared herself for her knew life.
A boy with two toned hair stared at the girl walking beside him. Her eyes were fixed on the ground. She didn't even look at her boyfriend once.
"Alice…" the boy began but the girl didn't say anything. He ran his hand through his hair, frustrated.
"Alice…I don't think we should see each other again," the boy said sighing. The girl turned to look at him.
"Kai?" she asked questioningly. Kai grunted and walked off. Alice stared at him in surprise but then tears welled in her eyes and she fell to the ground, hurt.
Aia: Well, now you get more of a picture of their lives. But I'm not finished yet! Wait for the 3rd chapter! Oh and please review!
