Yesterday Come and Gone

Chapter 4

Freedom; Confinement

Aia: Got to check for reviews later…Anyways, hope you are enjoying this story. I know I am.

Aia had finally found Hong Kong. It was about a two day walk but she found it. She looked around for something to eat. She had barely any money. 'What am I going to do?' Aia thought while wandering through the streets.

Then ten year old Max was with his mom in the U.S. Beyblades had always been a passion for him so he practiced everyday. His mom watched him in the backyard practicing.

"Let it rip!" Max yelled happily.

Tyson slowly walked to school. He got into class late and had gotten a lecture from Hilary…again. Tyson rolled his eyes. He sat in the back with the rest of his friends.

Kiara sighed happily. Beyblading was the best thing in the world for her. Kovu sat on the back porch watching her. Just then, their mom came out. She looked at Kiara then ran up to her and snatched her blade.

"Qon't waste your time on stupid things, Kiara," her mom said as she went back inside. Kiara looked at Kovu, tears in her eyes. She ran to her older brother and hugged him tight. Kovu glanced at the ground, thinking of something.

Krys looked at the renovations being made on her house. Now that her father's ideas for beyblades was a success, they'd been having money pouring in like clockwork. Krys sighed deeply. She had been in England for a little over three weeks and she still hadn't made any friends. Her on friend was her beyblade. She clutched onto it tightly and closed her eyes.

Aia snickered. She had snuck onto a plane going to Japan. No one would find her there. The plane stopped and Aia snuck out unseen. She walked around the airport, loooking for a way to get out. She found the exit and started roaming around the streets of Japan. Everything was so different compared to the small village in China. She slowly looked up and down the streets. She didn't know what she was going to do about a place to stay. She saw a girl that was about her age crying her heart out. Her older brother, who looked three years older than her tried to comfort her. Aia slowly walked up to them. She was curious to know what was going on.

"Hello…" Aia said shyly.

"Hi…" Kovu said looking at her.

"What's wrong?" Aia asked.

"It's okay," Kiara said wiping her face. "I'm okay now."

"Good," said Aia smiling.

"You don't look like you're from Japan. Did you move here?" Kovu asked.

"I guess you could say that," Aia said, she started thinking about Rei. The lack of food was catching up to her. She collasped to the ground unconscious. (Aia: I seem to do that a lot…)

Aia woke up in a small room. Kovu was staring at her. She looked around and saw holes in the walls. Kiara walked in carrying a washcloth.

"You're awake!" Kiara yelled.

"Shhh!" Kovu said placing a finger over his mouth.

"What's all that noise?" came their mom's voice.

"Nothing," Kovu said. Aia looked at the confused.

"You're not supposed to be here but we couldn't leave you lying in the middle on the street. We decided to bring to our house but you'll have to stay quiet. After my mom falls asleep we'll get you some food," Kovu explained. Aia sighed. Some food would be wonderful.

"What is your name anyways?" Kiara asked.

"My name is Aia."

"Where do you live?" Kovu asked.

"Uhhh…nowhere really. I ran away from China," Aia replied.

Krys sat down at the long dinning table. Her parents were eating quietly. Krys sighed. Tomorrow would be her first day of school and she was becoming nervous. Of course she would take Morfilleon with her but she wasn't sure she would be able to make friends. In Japan she went to a public school and had to wear a sailor outift. (Aia: You know what I mean.) Now, she would be going to a privte academy with spiffy uniforms. She had already packed everything. She sighed heavily. She would have to go to Greece for the year and would only see her parents on holidays.

Aia: I don't feel like babbling some more. I'll end the chapter here.

Krys: sighs Why do I have to go to Greece?

Aia: Want to meet Enrique, Oliver, Johnny and Robert? You're going.

Krys: Fine…
