Prologue

There was the sound of loud banging on the bedroom door. Groaning Ryuko rolled away from Morgan, her boyfriend, rolled off the edge of the bed and landed on her feet to stumble to the door. Blearily she opened the door to see her housemate Alanna standing in her doorway holding two mugs of coffee. Grinning she offered one to Ryuko.

"My friend the fates are cruel."She said grinning wickedly.

"Yes, yes they are you woke me up from a good dream, yo." Smiling slightly Ryu took the coffee and shut the door in her face.

"There are no dreams, no honor remains" Ryu heard through the door. She kicked it lightly.

"You're right you have no honor, you woke me up, yo." She said loud enough to be heard. A chuckle was all she heard. Ryu set the cup on the nightstand and threw a pillow at Morgan.

"Up lazy bones. Alanna has to dye my hair, yo." She said. He groaned and buried his head under the pillow.

"What does this have to do with me? And are you going to be saying that all day?" He asked. She grinned and pulled the black and orange dragon coverlet off him, as well as the black sheets.

"Your head doesn't look like your character at all." She said grinning, "And if she is playing with my hair you have to use the downstairs bathroom before the others get up. And yes I am." She pointed out. He groaned and got out of bed. Yawning he stretched and searched for where his duffel bag had gotten shoved the night before. He was over six feet tall, and scrawny, there was no denying it. The guy had no true muscle mass on him. He defined lean. Ryu spent most of her time trying to fatten him up, but he simply metabolized food too quickly to turn it into fat or muscle. His dark brown hair was cropped very close to his head. His hazel eyes were half closed sleepily. The small goatee was not a normal part of his face; it was only there for tonight.

Ryuko picked up her coffee and sipped it. She made a face Alanna had a bit more to learn about brewing a good cup of coffee. Ryu had learned how at a very young age, preparing her father's coffee pot every night before bed. As it was Alanna's coffee was a bit on the weak side. It always was. She was hesitant with the amount of grounds ever since Matti, one of their house mates, had actually spat the coffee across the counter as he inhaled grounds. The coffee had invariably landed on Alanna. She'd rather have weak coffee then go through that again.

"She still can't get it right?" Morgan asked. Ryu nodded her head as she pulled on clothes. She grabbed her brush and ran it threw her long-ish medium brown hair, the signs of sleep fading from her brown eyes. She was just barely five feet three inches, and somehow despite her stocky build she was always teased about being tiny.

"I'll have to make a fresh pot before Matti gets up." She said. Matti hated weak coffee. He needed a strong shot of caffeine to get him going, and given that today was going to be hectic, he would need it. They had all but bribed him to get him to persuade Piper, their other roommate and his girlfriend, to go out with them tonight. Ryu felt obligated to give the poor guy a decent cup of coffee. Fully dressed with her cup in hand she went downstairs to save the coffee and the morning.

Alanna was in the kitchen cooking mini smiley face pancakes. Ryu grinned, she might not be able to brew coffee, but Alanna was the chef in the house for a reason. Her food was tasty, hot, filling and she made a lot of it. Walking by the plate Ryu grabbed one and shoved it in her mouth as she dumped the remaining coffee into a pitcher in the fridge. It was useable for iced coffee. Ryu did not believe in the sacrilegious waste of coffee.

"Hey!" Alanna protested. Ryu shook her head.

"It's too weak." She mumbled around her pancake, "Matti might actually dump it on you." She added her fingers flew as she dumped grounds and poured water, and set the pot.

"Haha." Alanna said drily.

"What am I dumping on her?" Matti asked as he entered the kitchen. He was rubbing his face. He was even taller than Morgan, but he was more filled out.

"Weak coffee." Ryu grinned.

"Oh." he said. His blue eyes watched them sleepily. Ryu sipped her coffee and watched him grimace.

"She brought me a cup." She teased. He shook his head. Morgan came thumping down the stairs, still yawning.

"Morning." He muttered before he entered the bathroom.

"Morning to you too, and hello for that matter." Alanna muttered. Morgan had arrived late that night after driving an hour and half after getting off a swing shift at his job. While the rest of them were seniors in college, Morgan had entered the work force after high school. Needless to say Ryu had let him in and they had both gone to bed. Ryu laughed.

"You know he's not a morning person and that he actually prefers the swing shift." She said.

"Are the other two going to get up or not?" Alanna asked. Ryu shrugged and grabbed a seat at the kitchen table; idly she twirled her cup around. Matti sat down as well.

"Piper's getting dressed." He said with a long suffering look on his face. Ryu grinned into her cup. Matti had realized, shortly after moving in with them, that knowing them at school was different then living with them. He'd thought them crazy before, but the antics Alanna, Ryu, and Mary, their still sleeping housemate, could get into and drag Piper into were beyond anything he'd seen in the dorms.

Nerf sword fights were common; throwing balls of yarn was too. Pouncing people, pranking, and teasing were all around common things to happen. Usually they happened at least once a week.

"You haven't snuck into Mary's room lately, yo." Ryu commented to Alanna. She grinned. Alanna had a habit of creeping into Mary's room and hiding in the closet to freak her out when she went to bed.

"I didn't want her to decide not to go." She said. Matti snorted. Ryu nodded her head. Herself and Alanna had had to beg the others for months during the summer to agree to this, in fact the begging had started in March.

"You two are really excited about this aren't you?" Matti said. They both grinned.

"Limitless in mystery is the gift of the goddess, we seek it thus and take to the sky." Alanna said. Ryu's grinned broadened.

"Damn straight, yo." She said before taking a sip of her coffee.

Ryu entered her bedroom, a towel wrapped around her hair. Morgan looked up from where he was sitting with his laptop.

"What's with the turban?" He asked. Ryu stuck her tongue out at him but unwrapped the towel from around her head. Her hair fell around her, strands of red falling into her face. She pushed it out of her face.

"Well?" She asked raising an eyebrow at him. He tilted his head to the side to study her.

"I never thought I'd date a red head." He said. Her hair was indeed now a pretty shade of red, "I dunno if I like it on you or not." He admitted. He grinned and patted the bed next to him. Ryu jumped onto the bed and sat next to him. He tugged a strand of her hair.

"I liked your hair the color it was." He admitted. Ryu grinned and kissed his cheek. That's one of the things she loved about him. He liked her for exactly who she was both inside and out. She'd once fussed about looking pretty around him, and wearing make-up, that was until he admitted he didn't like it when she did that. He didn't mind her dressing nice or just running around in jeans and a sweatshirt (usually stolen from him) like she had in high school, but make-up unnerved him. He thought it made her too much like a doll, like a porcelain doll, and not the girl he was used to. She'd stopped wearing make-up for the most part after that.

"Well," She said studying him; his head was shaved completely bald. She ran her hand over his head. "Not sure about your hair either." She said. He grimaced.

"It'll grow back." He said. She laughed.

"In about two weeks," She teased. Morgan's hair grew incredibly fast. He had to get a haircut every month, because it was hanging down in his eyes and he couldn't see. He tugged another strand of her hair.

"At least this matches your temper now." He teased her. Ryu giggled.

"Well?" Morgan asked as he straightened his black tie. Ryu, sitting on the bed struggling with her shoes, looked up at him.

"You look very handsome." She admitted. He wrinkled his nose at her. He never believed her when she said that.

"Do I look like him?" He asked. Ryu grinned tied the laces of her shoe and stood. She went over to him, reached into his suit jacket and pulled out a pair of sunglasses. She put them on him and stepped back and studied him. He silently regarded her. She grinned.

"Nailed it, yo." She said.

"RYU" She heard from Alanna's room. Frowning Ryu headed towards the shout.

"I'll be right back, I hope." She said. The other three girls had decided to get dressed together. Ryu hadn't needed any help with her costume. She entered Alanna's room across the hall from hers.

"What?" She asked. Alanna handed her an earring.

"Can you fix it? I would but…" She waved her hand at Mary and Piper; their hair had yet to be dyed. Ryu nodded her head and took the earring.

"Anything else?"

"Can you do this belt up in the back?" Alanna asked, showing Ryu the problematic belt. A few seconds later Ryu had the belt done up.

"What would you do without me, yo?" She asked as she rummaged in Alanna's crafting stuff. She fished out a pair of jewelry pliers and deftly fixed the earring.

"Be bored out of my geeky mind." Alanna admitted. Ryu grinned, she'd been expecting a witty come back. She handed the earring to Alanna and hugged her.

"I'd miss you too, you freak." She said before she bounced out of the room.

"Weirdoes," Mary muttered.

No one knew how weird it was going to get that night.
