A/N: A trade I'm doing with my friend, nya-nya-ichigo, who asked me to write a fanfic with her OC, Kanji and Adachi :3 The plotline was all her idea, and I claim no ownership to it, or her character. Please enjoy, especially you, partner! ;D *shot*

This chapter's sorta just a drabble of her relationship to the characters the Arcana listed below belong to owe; I hope that's alright, instead of just putting down that they hung out *shot again* If not, I'd be more than happy to re-write it~

And I realized Erin couldn't make a cameo appearance because they have the same Arcana owe; Which, I guess isn't a BIG deal, but it's a smidge awkward xD

[ Star ]

"If you be my sky, I'll be your star."

His eyes are a shade darker than hers, and he always manages to make her laugh, even at the smallest of things. She sees beyond the glitz, and fur, and immaturity he puts off, that she's grown accustomed to, and sees the scared kid underneath. They protect each other in battle, and when she's down, he's the first one to spring to his feet, and save her.

She wasn't in love with him, moreso their friendship. That didn't mean that she didn't enjoy the attention he reserved just for her, and the long glances he gives her at meetings when he thinks she's not looking. It was flattering, really, and she was sure that the other girls were more than relieved that it wasn't them in her place.

He was a child, maybe, but she loved being around him, around his energy, and they could spend all day together, laughing at absolutely nothing. When it's just them, it's different, he's different. He holds her without a thought, and loves her with no regrets. She feels safe.

Teddie is her best friend.

[ Emperor ]

"If you be my empress, I'll be your emperor."

No good, delinquent, punk—these were some of the kinder words that floated around the Inaba air when asked to describe him. If you asked her, he was none of that. Sure, he was a bit rough around the edges, and could silence anyone with just a look. But to her, he was a knight in shining armor, a guardian trying to protect the ones he loved.

She's caught glimpses of his softer side, and falls harder each time. It was at the floodplains—a warm, summers day, she recalls—that she found him, a small plush rabbit in hand, staring at it like it was the most important thing in the world. He turns when she approaches, gets flustered, tries to escape, but her laughter brings him back. Her laughter that rang like the bell around her neck. A bell collar, very fitting for someone like her.

She found it cool, not weird, and he would be lying if he said that he didn't find her anymore attractive than at that moment. Since then, someone had found out about her slight obsession with cats, and had left a few stuffed ones in her shoe locker.

When confronted about it, Kanji denied it was him.

[ Fortune ]

"If you be my time, I'll be your fortune."

She was different than the other girls around. She was deductive, and when she did decide to speak, it was like a storm crashing in. Powerful, hard to see at first. She wishes she could be more like her, but knows it's impossible. She was perfect, and perfection was hard to attain. She first sees her on TV, and is only slightly surprised to find out that they're not only in the same grade, but the same class.

In many ways, she idolized her. Looked up to her. She knew what she wanted, and what she needed to do in order to get it. While she... She was easy to break, easy to bend. Some called her a pushover—even she had pointed it out a few times—but what was wrong with looking out for her friends? Maybe she was being clingy. Maybe she was easy to manipulate, but it felt different when she was with her. She actually felt smart, and beautiful, and worthy.

A hero undercover? Maybe, she wouldn't be surprised. Sometimes she wants to take her clothes and wear them over her own, in hopes that maybe some of her talent will rub off, but that's crazy.

She was thankful she could at least be around Naoto.

[ Lovers ]

"If you be my dream, I'll give you my love."

Upbeat, giggly, maybe a bit flirty, but she felt she could relate. She takes her on "Weekly Shopping Trips", as she likes to call them, and shows her things that she thought only existed in fairytales. Long, frilly dresses, and other things she knew she couldn't afford with the money she made. She'll drag the Emperor along too sometimes, and it reminds her of just how loved she is.

She tries to break her out of her shell, and she's creeping out more and more each day it seems. She can see the light. She comes over every other day afterschool, where the two sit on her bed, and drown themselves with music, borrow each other clothes, and just be there for one another.

She'd never tell Rise just how much her friendship meant, but she thinks she has a feeling anyway.

[ Pierrot / Lust ]

"If you be my puppet, I'll give you my lust."

He's hard to read at first. He could be cheerful. He could be your best friend. Then in a flash, he lets something slip out that he doesn't mean, and catches himself before you can notice. She didn't think much of at the time, didn't think much of it at all. He was older than her, yes, but it was one of those things she overlooked when they were together.

She does catch the looks he gives her, the accidental brushes, but doesn't say anything. A part of her liked the attention, and another part would be lying if it said she wasn't attracted to him. But it was best to keep something like this secret.

Adachi wasn't a bad guy. He couldn't be.

[ Strength ]

"If you be my friend, I'll give you my strength."

She had absolutely no athleticism in her, but he hung around her just the same. He's the only one she sees outside her small circle of friends, and in another life, maybe they could be something more. After basketball practice, she'll grab a meatbowl with him, but the conversations don't go very far. They weren't extremely close, but she liked being with him all the same. Maybe it was a spell he put on her, or his good looks that drew her in.

Her nickname reached him at one point, and when he found out what it was, he laughed, and dubbed his own for her. Neko-chan. She blushes, and tells him not to do that, but he counters with another compliment. The conversation is dropped, and their insider begins. She finds she can't hate him for it.

Kou was just an all-around nice guy, and she enjoyed his company.
