---------------------

Nigel Uno looked out the window; his thoughts seemed to consume him. There was so much on his mind nowadays, with Lizzi being on his last nerve, and the K.N.D being under constant attack he just couldn't take it anymore. He was tired. As he thought about this he saw something in the corner of his eye, a shooting star. He smiled; it was just what he needed, so he wished on it. Then the alarm went off.

"Guess it didn't work." He grumbled to himself, as he walked downstairs.

"'ey boss," Numbuh Five said, Nigel just nodded.

"Your finally here," 86's annoyed voice came, he flinched.

"Yes, Numbuh 86, I'm finally here," he replied coldly, she glared at him.

"Let's get down to business," she said, glancing down at a file.

"Yes?" he asked immpatiently.

"Well looks like we have a new member for your team, Numbuh one," she said, with a small laugh.

"What?" he asked in disbelief.

"Yes, she's being transferred from her old team."

"What numbuh is she?"

"Let's see here..." she said, looking through the file.

"Seventy-seven," Kuki said, and everyone glanced at her.

"What?" 86 asked.

"It's Numbuh Seventy-seven," Kuki hissed. Nigel stared at her blankly, as her emotionless eyes burned through him. Kuki was dead, she had died last Christmas, and there was nothing anyone could've done to stop it. She wasn't happy anymore she was dead. As lifeless and dead as a corpse.

"That's right...seventy-seven, How did you know?" 86 asked, in awe.

"I have my ways," Kuki replied coldly.

-----------------------------------

---86's point of view---

'How could she have possibly known that? I didn't even know that. I'll have to admit Kuki Sanban has become quite frightenin'. With those lifeless eyes it's hard to tell what she is thinking anymore...she used to be so predictable, so happy...so s--,' I thought but my thoughts were soon interrupted by Nigel.

"So when is she coming?" Nigel asked me, I started at him blankly, trying to process what he asked.

"Oh!" I said finally, "Uh she should be there it about a week, that gives you time to prepare a room and stuff, I'm sending her files over right now." I felt Kuki's eyes on me, I shivered, I hated those eyes...they were so, dead.

"Okay," Nigel said, saving me from the horrid image of her eyes.

"Well this is Numbuh 86 over and out," I caught one last glimpse of Kuki before signing off, those eyes...great now I'm gonna have nightmares. (A/n: the over and out thing...I'll bet your wondering why the heck I put that in there and in truth I have no idea...I just thought it would be –er- cool? Don't kill me!)

--------------------------------------

---Nigel's Point Of View---

I sighed, more work...great. This girl is probably gonna be just like kuki, how kuki used to be I mean. Sometimes I still miss her happy self. I glanced at her, and shivered she was scary...even more scary than the delightful children from down the lane, but she didn't have those glowing blue eyes...thank God.

"Well, team," I said with a sigh, "We better get cracking, on this assignment." This was going to be a long week.

---------------------------

---Kuki's P.O.V---

I hate when people get scared of me; I'm not dead. Just not as happy as I was. When I don't have a gleam in my eye they automatically think I'm unhappy, but it's not true. I'm happy, even though last Christmas Wallabee's father raped me. I'm happy even though the girl that's coming, numbuh 77, might kill us all and I'm happy even though everyone is afraid of me.

When everyone went to work I snuck off to my room and I got my photo album from under my bed. I flipped through it finding Me and 'numbuh 77'. Believe it or not 77 and I used to be best friends, but that one fight tore us apart, and we never saw each other again. Soon that would all change, and she would be here to kill everyone. She was crazy...crazy.

-------------------------------------------------------

Nigel's mind drifted to the wish he had made, a wish for love. A wish for someone to love. Lizzie was so out of touch now and she seemed so far off. He had emptiness inside of him, a longing for someone to love. For someone to love him. For a life he wouldn't regret.

---------------------
