Chapter 9

"Why don't you just give up?!" Susan asked. "Just let us take Snow and we'll let you all be!"

The Bladebreakers gasped, except Kai, who was glaring at Susan and Mark. Aurora eyes widen. 'Why are they after me? I'm nothing special at all!' She though.

"We never let you have her!" Ray yells to Susan and his pupils became slits like a cat. "She is our friend!"

Mark shrugged. "Then you probably don't care about your friends in the cage." Point at the cage, were Hilary and Kenny was.

"What do you mean?" Max asks. Susan giggles. "Do you really want to know?"

Mark takes out a remote from his jacket. "When I'm push this button, the cage will fall down… with them in it."

"WHAT?!" They yell in shock.

'No!' Aurora thinks desperately and gets flashback when her parents were killed. 'I don't want more people die because of me. No more…' She clenches her hands and takes one step forward, but then someone stops her. She turns around and sees its Kai who hold her arm.

"No." Kai says to her and looks in to her eyes.

"But Kai…" Aurora starts to say. "You don't have to do it, Aurora!" Hilary shouts from the cage. Kenny nods.

Aurora turns around and looks at them. "We won't let them take you!" Max exclaims.

"Yeah! You are our friend, Aurora!" Tyson says to her. "And friends protects each other!"

Aurora looks at them and then looks at Kai again. "Trust Ray. He won't let them take you, no matter what he will fight." Kai tells Aurora quietly. Aurora looked into his eyes and saw that they were telling her to trust them… trust him. She nodded and turned around to look at the battle again.

'I trust them… because they are mine friends!' Aurora thinks, unknown to all of them, except for the person in the shadows, that she start to glow faintly.

"DRIGER!!" Ray shouts and a white tiger comes out of the bitchip. He roars angrily at Susan and Mark.

Susan and Mark eyes widen in shock. 'But how… how did he get stronger?!' Susan thinks and looks at Driger.

"RAIN!" A lilac leopard with red spots and blue eyes comes out of the bitchip. Driger and Rain growls at each other and were ready to attack.

"Driger! Tiger Claw!"

"Rain! Thunder Claw!" Both bitbeasts runs against each other and they attack exact same time. This cause, yet again, an explosion so that everyone has to turn away. Kai instinctive stands in front of Aurora, so that his body protects her from the explosion. When they can see again, everyone sees that baydish is almost totally destroyed. Aurora move in front Kai to see better and her eyes widen when she see Ray and Susan beyblade. Everyone gasp, except Kai, because Ray and Susan has tie!

"Grrr this wasn't supposed to happen!" Susan growled angrily and picked up her beyblade. She jumped so that she now stood beside Mark. Ray ran to his beyblade and picked it up. The rest of the gang ran up to him.

"Ray are you ok?" Aurora asked him and looks worriedly at him.

He nods. "I'm ok Aurora." Ray softly tells her. Aurora smiles in relief, they turn around and look at Susan and Mark.

"Let them go!" Tyson yells at them. "Yeah even though it was a tie it still mean that Ray didn't lose to her!" Max yells at them.

Mark glares at them and sneer at them. "No!" When he was going to push the button a beyblade hit his hand and so that he loses the remote. Everyone just stands there and stares. They turn around and sees that Kai had launch his blade.

"What you looking at! Hurry up and take the remote!" Kai barks at them. Ray had already start to run to the other side and takes the remote, Mark and Susan didn't reach it, because they was in shock.

'How… how could… we lose…?' Both thinks, as Max, Tyson and Aurora hurry up to Ray, when suddenly someone jumps out of the shadows, no one had time to reach, when the unknown person stops in front of Aurora.

Aurora couldn't look away even though she can't see his face because of the hood. Then she suddenly blank out and gets a vision. She sees bitbeasts roam free… human and bitbeasts working together… but then suddenly she see fire… hear screams… two people running away from something… then she hear someone whisper 'Aurora…' Then every thing went black.

Aurora blinks and sees that the unknown person still stands there in front of her. She the feel that someone hold her left arm, she move her head and see its Kai.

"Who are you?" Kai asks him and gives him a death glare.

"No one you should care about, except for her." The unknown guy say and point at Aurora. Kai narrows his eyes at him and holds a firm grip on Aurora, Aurora just stares wide eyed at him. She was in shock, first those guys were after her, then they kidnap two of her friends and then she suddenly gets a vision. What was going on?

While this happened Ray, Max and Tyson had finally managed somehow get the cage down and get Hilary and Kenny out of there. Though Tyson and Hilary were fighting… again. Mark and Susan ran up to the unknown guy.

"What are we going to do now?" Susan asks him.

"We retread for now." The unknown guy replied. Mark and Susan nods and runs out of the warehouse. The unknown guy starts to follow them, but stops in front of exist and look at Aurora over his shoulder.

"Just you know, Aurora, we aren't the only one who are after you." Then walks out.

Kai and Aurora looks at the exit and each other, when they realize that Kai were still holding her arm he let her go and they start to blush slightly. They turn around and hurry to they others.

"Are you two ok?" Aurora asks them.

Kenny and Hilary, who had stop yelling at Tyson, nods. "Yes we are ok, but what did that guy mean that they wasn't the only one after you?"

Aurora shakes her head. "I honestly don't know." Then the warehouse suddenly start to shake, they looks wide eyes at each other.

"Let us discuss this when we are on a safer place." Ray suggest, they others just nod and start to run. When the last person was out, the warehouse crumbles down. They stand there and pant.

"That… was… to close." Max says. "I agree with you there." Hilary says. They then starts to walk to the dojo, they were silent. They didn't know what they want to talk about or what to say about what happen. Kai walks beside Aurora. Unknown to both of them that Hilary and Ray sees this.

'Aww they looks so cute together!' Hilary thinks and smiles.

'Interesting…' Ray thinks and looks at them.

/I heard from Dranzer that Kai likes Aurora./ Driger tells Ray.

'Really? That is very interesting.'

/Also Nox and Dieel told me that Aurora likes him too, though she hasn't said anything to them./

'You have been busy, Driger.' Ray dryly says to him.

/Hey we bitbeast must have something to do when we don't battles against evil people/ Driger protest and close the link.

Ray just smiles. They had already arrived in the dojo when Ray is finish to speak with Driger. They all walks into the livingroom, but they are still quiet. Aurora satts in the corner of the couch, trying to progress all the information what happen.

'Why… why are people after me? Why did I have that vision?' Aurora thinks.

/We don't know Aurora/ Nox says to her. /I wish we could help you with this/

'Don't worry about it.' Aurora says to him. 'But…'

/But what?/ Dieel asks.

'The vision was so confusing. One second there was so much happiness, but then next there was so much pain and also I saw two people running from something.'

/You did?/ Nox and Dieel asks surprise.

Aurora mentally rises an eyebrow. 'Why do you two sound surprise?'

/Its nothing/ Nox hurries say to her.

'Ok… If you say so.' Aurora says, but feel that Nox and Dieel don't tell her something… something important. She cut the link, when she heard that someone asked her a question.

"Sorry, but can you repeat that?" Aurora asks Tyson.

"I said what did you mean that you couldn't feel those people aura except Hilary and Kenny?" Tyson repeat is question. Everyone else anime fell.

"You remember it?" Aurora asks surprise and rise up.

"That must be a new Guiness Record." Max joke, sitting on the floor. "HEY!" Tyson shouts. They others start to laugh, happy that the mood was better.

"Anyway," Aurora starts to say after she had stop laughing. "In someway those guys can hide their aura, even their bitbeasts."

"Why is it important about auras?" Asks Ray her, who was sitting beside her. He was very curious about this.

Aurora start to explain "Well is bit difficult to explain, but I can try. Aura is something every living being has, even bitbeasts. It can show how strong a person is, also sometime aura can show emotion around the being."

"Sweet!" Tyson exclaims and hit his fit in the air. "Then you know how strong the opponent is!"

"Its not always correct though." Aurora warns him. "A person can also get stronger through a battle, so you can really never be sure how strong they are before then."

"So you really aren't sure of strong they really are before the battle?" Kai asks her, leaning on the wall and looks at her. Aurora nods, she looks at Kai through the corner of her eyes. She looks away and lightly blushes.

"But guys what are we going to do about those people who are after Aurora?" Kenny asks them, typing on the computer. Dizzy complains.

"Yeah, what are we going to do about it?" Tyson asks.

"One thing is sure." Kai start to say, "we can't leave Aurora alone."

Ray frown. "So you mean that we shall watch over Aurora?"

Kai nods. "But Kai, I'm going to be gone tomorrow!" Aurora protests.

Kai gives Aurora a stern glare. "Therefor we are coming with you, we don't know when they are going to attack again and we also don't know anything about that there is others after you."

"So we are going with her tomorrow?" Hilary asks. Kai nods, they others also agree.

Aurora looks at them, while Max shows her puppy-dog-eyes-of-doom and sighs. "I can't win this can I?"

"Nope!" Max says cheerfully.

Aurora frowned. "Are we going to tell this to Mr.D?"

They all look at each other. "I don't know, but I think we should wait a little while longer though." Ray says to them. They others nod though Hilary protest this.

"But what I wonder most about is that why those guy is after you?" Kenny says and looks up from the laptop.

Max and Tyson nods. "Yeah, they really want to get you." " I heard that they had to get you, Aurora." Hilary tells them. She looks at Aurora. "Do you know why?" Aurora shakes her head.

'What do you guys think?' Aurora asks Nox and Dieel.

/We are not sure yet./ Dieel tells her.

'Uh what do you mean?'

/We tell you another time/ Nox and Dieel reply and close the link.

'I wonder what that was about' Aurora thinks confused.

Kai looks at her and wonder why she looks confused.

'Hmm wonder what she thinking about.'

/She was talking to Dieel and Nox/ Dranzer tells him.

'And why do you know that?'

/No reason at all, Master Kai/ Dranzer reaply innocently.

Kai narrow his eyes at Dranzer. 'Then why don't I believe you then.'

/Master Kai! That hurt!/ Dranzer exclaims with a pretend hurt tone.

Kai mentally rolls his eyes. 'Yeah right.' Kai says sarcastic.

Dranzer pout. /You are no fun/

Dranzer closed the link, Kai just sighs and looks at Aurora again. His eyes soften a little.

"Well since we are finish with this can we eat now?" Tyson asks.

Everyone anime fell again. Hilary gets up first. "TYSON! DOESN'T YOU THINK ANYTHING ELSE THEN ABOUT HER STOMACH?!" Hilart shouted at him.

"Of course I do!" Tyson defend himself.

"Like what?" Max asks him and rises an eyebrow.

"Beyblade of course!" Tyson tells them happily. They anime fell… again.

"TYSON! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU!" Hilary shouts at him again, everyone else wince over how loud she is. "AURORA IS IN DANGER AND ALL YOU THINK OF IS YOUR DAMN STOMACH AND BEYBLADE!"

"WELL SORRY THAT IS SOMETHING NATURAL FOR ME AND OF COURSE I CARE FOR AURORA IS IN DANGER!" Tyson yells back.

Aurora, Max, Ray and Kenny sweat drops over this, while Kai ignoring them as usual. Ray points the door to the backyard, they other nods and follows him. Max closes the door, they still heard that they was shouting and wonder when they are going to notice that they were gone.

"Seriously you think that they are a married couple or something after so much they are fighting." Max stated.

"Yeah why can't they just get together? It looks like for me that they likes each other." Aurora stated.

Ray shakes his head. "They will never admit that they do like each other, they are just to stubborn."

They all sigh, except Kai, over that Hilary and Tyson were both hopeless.

"So what are we going to do now?" Aurora asks them. They just shrugs, they didn't have clue what want to do.

Then suddenly Max jumps. "I got idea!"

"What?" They others ask.

"Aurora can sing to us!" Max says happily and gives Aurora puppy-dog-eyes-of-doom again. Ray, Kenny and Kai also look at her. Aurora just shakes her head.

'Why can't I resist those eyes.'

She starts to sing:

Six thoughts at once I can's focus on one

Seven days a week but my life has just begun

So caught in emotion and I'm overcome

As I'm falling down I come undone

Tyson and Hilary stops shouting to each other, when hear that Aurora sing and walk out to the backyard.

Sometimes I feel like I'm alone

Sometimes I feel like I'm not that strong

Sometimes I feel so frail so small

Sometimes I feel vulnerable

Sometimes I feel a little fragile

A little fragile

In six thousand years what they will this mean

Words from the heart or a melody

So caught in emotion and I'm overcome

As I'm falling down I come undone

Sometimes I feel like I'm alone

Sometimes I feel like I'm not that strong

Sometimes I feel nothing at all

Sometimes I feel vulnerable

Sometimes I feel a little fragile

A little fragile

Kai looks in her eyes and wonder why she did choose that song.

If people can see right through my eyes

Like an open door that I can't disguise

I won't be afraid from the tears I cry

I'll not run I'll not hide this is how I feel inside

A little fragile

A little fragile

Sometimes I feel like I'm alone

Sometimes I feel like not that strong

Sometimes I feel so frail so small

Sometimes I feel vulnerable

Sometimes I feel a little fragile

(A/N: I don't own this song Fragile, Delta Goodrem does)

Aurora finishes with the song and look at the guys. They smiled and gives tells that were beautiful, except Kai. Then suddenly their stomach growls loudly, they all sweatdrops.

Kenny looks at the watch. "No wonder we are hungry the clock is 15.00."

Ray walks in. "I'm going to prepare dinner." "I helping you." Hilary says to Ray and follow him to the kitchen.

Max and Tyson decide to play videogames and Kenny tells Kai and Aurora that he is going to search and see if he can find anything on Mark and Susan. So he also walks into the livingroom. Then it's only Kai and Aurora who are outside. They both were quiet they really didn't know what they want to walk about.

Aurora sits down beside the tree and look at the sky. Kai lean on the tree beside Aurora, his eyes close.

'Argh I have no idea what I should talk about!' Aurora thinks annoyed, she looks at Kai out of corner of her eyes and blush. 'He is handsome and I get a good feeling when I close to him.'

"Where are we going tomorrow?" Kai suddenly asks her. She looks at him and Kai looks into her eyes. Aurora bits her lip unsure what she wants to tell him.

"You know that you can tell me." Kai tells her softly and doesn't look away from her eyes.

Aurora takes a deep breath. "We are going my village or what is left of it."

"Your village?" Kai rise an eyebrow in surprise.

"Yes, 7 years ago I had to run away."

"Why?" He knew that he shouldn't pry, but he got a feeling that he should know.

Aurora looks down on the ground, her shoulder start to shake and whisper. "Because… that was the day my parents and, so far I know, everyone else were… killed."

Kai were in shock and looks at her. 'So that's why she is so sad, but why then do I got the feeling that she didn't telling me something?' He hear/see that she is crying and kneels down beside her, rub her back soothing her. Not really sure what to do, since he never been a situation like this before. He turns her face so she has to look at him. He gets another shocks… her tears… they were silver!

"Your tears… they are silver… how…?" Kai whisper and looks into her eyes and see that Aurora was afraid.
