That night Li stood on the bridge. She leaned against it, gazing into the water. A gentle breeze blew past her, playing playfully with her hair. A shadowy figure stood at the end of the bridge, staring at her. Li looked at the figure as it started walking towards her. As he came into view, Li gasped.
"Max! What are you doing here?" she said shocked.
"I wanted to see you again." Max replied.
Li gazed back at the water, not knowing what to say. Max leaned on the ramp beside her. "Is this what you do for fun?"
"No. I'm just thinking." Li replied
"What are you thinking about?" Max asked.
"Nothing really." Li said, avoiding Max's eyes.
"Tell me?"
Li stared at him, half annoyed, half glad that he asked but she spoke "I'm Lee...I'm Lee's twin sister."
"You don't look a thing like him, well except for your eyes."
"Yeah, I know." Said Li still staring at the water.
"Wait, what about Rei, you grew up with him didn't you? How come he didn't recognize you?" asked Max remembering when they were in her shop.
"I guess he didn't recognize me 'cause it's been at least eight years. Actually I'm glad he doesn't recognize me." Li said gazing up at him.
"I don't understand." said Max puzzled.
"Because...because I..I tried to steal his bitbeast! I was always jealous that he had gotten it and I didn't. So eight years ago, while Rei was sleeping, I took it away from him. Sadly for me though, his relationship with Drigger was too great. And Rei knew what I was doing before I was in safety. After that I was banished from the village. I came to live in Japan and met Kiara. My grandma comes once in a while to make sure we're okay."said Li finally. She looked at the ground, a tear trickled down her cheek. She felt a soft hand wipe it off. Li looked up slowly into Max's piercing blue eyes.
"It doesn't really matter now does it? You can start over, as long as you know what you have done is wrong and you're sorry." Max said, smiling at her.
"There's something else you know." Li said not breaking eye contact with him.
"Oh, what is that?" he asked.
"My real name...my real name's Aia, not Li "Max looked stunned for a bit but then his faced softened. He smiled at her.
"Well Aia, there's something I just want to ask you. Why'd Kiara use Li then?"
"Well, when I saw you guys come in, I told her to use Li. I couldn't risk using my real name in case it caused Rei to remember me" said Aia. She glanced at her watch and noticed what time it was.
"Oh my gosh! I got to go. Bye!" Aia said hurrying down the path. Before she was out of sight, she called back "Don't forget, I'm Li!"
A/N: Betcha' didn't see that coming did ya? And Aia seemed like such a good person too. LOL. Sorry, she is, don't worry. R&R please!
Krys: Aia, you do realize you're dissing yourself right? I mean, what kind of person does that? Making fun of themselves!
A/N: Krys! Just shut up!
Krys: : P. Oh hey guys! Sorry but you won't be seing me for a couple of chapters 'cause Aia and Kiara here didn't feel like telling about this story till about chapter 11!
