A guy with brownish-red hair walked up to her. "My name is Abel, " he said and then stuck out his hand. "Nice to meet you Kira."

Kira took his hand and shook it. "Nice to meet you to, " she said with a smile.

"She's cute!" yelled a boy with purple hair. He came up to her and grabbed her hand. He put a kiss on it. "I am Domi, and the red head that looks like me is my twin brother, Carl."

"Hi, " said Carl.

Kira smiled at them as well.

A guy came up and pushed Domi out of the way. "Move it, mutt, " he said. He had dark brown hair and a few piercings in his ear. He looked at Kira. "Names Thomas. Remember that and we'll be fine."

"Don't be such an ass, Thomas! She's a young lady and she needs to be treated like one, " said a guy with blonde hair. He walked over to Kira and bowed to her. "I am Christ. Nice to meet you, young lady."

Kira blushed. "Nice to meet you too, Christ."

"So, now you've met the gang. What do you say to staying for a bit?" Aiden asked.

"Can't, " was her reply.

"Why not?" Aiden asked.

"Because I need to get home. Have things that I need to do, " Kira replied. She looked at Aiden. "Why do you want me to stay?" she asked.

"No reason. Can't I hang with a friend?" he replied.

Kira smiled. "You just want to stay near me…"

"O-of course not! What ever gave you that idea?" Aiden asked.

Kira pouted and faked tears. "So you don't like me…"

Aiden came up to her and hugged her. "Of course I do! Now get that out of your head!"

"Yes, sir, " she said with such seriousness that Aiden pulled back and looked at her. The boys just cracked up laughing.

"She got you good, Aiden, " came Carl's voice.

"Yeah man, you are so whipped, " Domi said.

"That was just pathetic, " said Thomas, who turned and walked into the house again.

"Come on, stay here with us. It will be fun, " Christ said.

"I-I don't know. I'm supposed to go home and do some things, " Kira said.

"We'll make Aiden go home with you and help out, " Christ said.

"Well…" Kira said, "…fine."

"Yes! Thank you!" Christ said and then came up and hugged Kira.

Kira was just surprised by this. "Um…. ok then."

Christ let go and backed up. "Sorry, " he said.

"Its ok, " Kira replied.

Christ headed in while Kira waited for Aiden. They walked in together.

"Hey Kira!" came Domi's voice from the living room. "How good are you at video games?"

"Depends on the game, " Kera replied back. "Why?"

"I challenge you to Brawl." Domi said.

Kira walked to the living room to see Domi and Carl sitting on the couch with the controllers for the Wii.

"Don't challenge her to that. She'll kick your ass, " Aiden said as he also came into the living room.

"What else can she kick my ass in so I can challenge her to a different game?" Domi asked.

"Well, never challenge her to Dance Dance Revolution or Guitar Hero. Or any anime or Japanese related video games for that matter, " Aiden replied.

"That good is she?" Domi asked.

"Can't help it if I'm just better than you, " Kira said with a small laugh.

"I like her, " Domi said. "She's funny."

"I challenge you to Brawl, Kera, " Carl said.

Kira had a twinkle in her eye. "I accept. What's your wager?"

"You stay the night if I win, and I will go on a date with you if you win, " Domi said.

"Or if I win, you go on a date with Thomas, " Carl said.

"That's just cruel man!" Thomas yelled from the kitchen.

"Don't worry, Thomas. I will win for sure, " Kira said.

"Sure you will, " Thomas said as he walked into the room.

Kira smiled to herself. She was very confident that she would win. No one had beaten her at a video game before. She wasn't about to start losing now.

Kira sat on the couch in between Domi and Carl.

"How about you join in Thomas?" Carl asked.

"I'm not going against you losers, " he said.

"Come on, you chicken or something?" Domi asked.

"No, just don't feel like beating a girl, " Thomas said.

Kira looked at Thomas. "You couldn't beat me even if you tried."

"I'm pretty sure that I could, miss fancy pants, " Thomas said.

"Fine. After I beat these two here, I challenge you to a game of DDR, " Kira said.

"DDR? What the hell is that?" Thomas asked.

"Dance Dance Revolution, " Kira said. "If you're too chicken, that's ok with me, " she said with a shrug and returned her eyes back to the TV.

"You're on. If I win, you're my slave for the amount of time I'm here. You win, I'll grant you something that you want, " Thomas said.

Kira smiled. "Deal."

Domi set up a tournament. It was the max amount of players. Only three people were actually playing a character though. The rest were CPU's. As the battles went on, Domi, Carl, and Kira stayed in the tournament. Then when it came to the last 4, all three were still in. Kira was Marth, Carl was Samus, and Domi was Wolf. Kera had to go against Carl, and Domi had to go up against a CPU Link. Kira won her match and Domi won his.

"Beat by a girl. Don't you feel ashamed?" Thomas asked Carl.

Carl just laughed. "I'm sure that Domi will win, " Carl said.

She just smiled and got ready for her battle. This battle was different though. Kira didn't win. Domi won hands down. Kira huffed as she set the controller down. She shrank back into the couch. She started to mumble things and everyone laughed.

"Now you gotta stay the night, " Domi said with a smile.

"Now lets see if you can beat Thomas at this so called DDR, " Carl said happily.

"DDR kinda sounds girly, so do you have a copy of it with you Kira?" Thomas asked.

"No, but I keep one here just incase I come over, " Kira said softly. "And the mats for it are here too."

"Mats? As in we actually have to move our feet?" Thomas asked.

"Uh, yeah. If you're too scared, you could use a controller, " Kira said with a teasing voice and smile.

Thomas glared. "You are so on, girly girl, " Thomas said.

That's what made Kira snap. "What did you just call me?" she asked with a glare.

"Girly girl. You got a problem with that?" Thomas asked.

"As a matter of fact, I do. You know nothing about me so don't call me things. You want an actually fight, I'm not afraid to give you one. Just know this, I don't back down, Mr. Know-it-all, " Kira said with a growl and stood up.

"Just try and beat me up Kira. It won't get you anywhere, " Thomas said as he got in her face.

Kira's eyes narrowed. "Je te deteste, " she expressed.

"And what does that mean, Kira? Kiss my ass?" Thomas mocked.

"I just said I hate you, " Kera said with venom.

"Kira, back down. You don't want to do this, " Abel said as he came up next to her. Aiden came up to her other side.

"No. I'm going to teach this idiot not to mess with me, " Kira said with venom in her voice.

Thomas smiled evil. "You're not going to beat me, " he said. "In fact, you won't even cause any damage to me."

Kira glared. "Wanna bet?" she asked.

"As a matter of fact I do. If I win this fight, you don't pick a fight with me again and I call you whatever I want and you can't get mad. Also, for each time you raise your voice at me, you have to do something for me. Now, if you win, I'll be your slave until I leave, " he replied.

"Deal, " Kira said and then sent a kick at him.

Thomas caught it with one hand and twisted her foot, making her lose balance. Kira fell, but caught herself on her hands and kicked with her other foot, making Thomas step back and let go of her foot. Kira front rolled and stood up quickly. She turned just in time to dodge a kick from him. She did a round the house kick, but missed by mere inches as he stepped back again.

"Quit dodging and take it like a man, " Kira growled as she sent a fist towards his gut.

Thomas caught her fist and twisted it, making Kira turn around and he pulled it up towards her head on her back. She yelped softly, but took her other arm and tried to elbow him in the gut. He caught that one and did the same thing.

"Give up, cause you're not going to win, Kira. I'm more skilled than you are, " he said in her ear.

Kira growled and he pulled harder on her arms. She held back a yelp as best a she could.

"Just give up. You already lost, " Thomas said.

"Kera. Stop it. You'll only hurt yourself, " Aiden pleaded.

Kira hung her head low. "Fine. I give, " she whispered.

"Good girl, " Thomas said as he let go of her arms. "Now. A deal's a deal. I won. Therefore, I can call you anything I want. No more picking fights with me either. And don't raise your voice at me once."

Kira remained silent and Aiden came up to her. He looked her over for any marks and saw none.

"Kira. You ok?" he asked.

She didn't answer him, but went over to the sofa and sat down.

"Kira, talk to me, " he said.

Kira still remained silent.

"I told you to back down. You should have listened, " Aiden said softly as he sat down next to her.

He lifted up her face with two of his fingers and turned it towards him. What he saw was a defeated look on her face.

"Kira. Kira honey. Talk to me, " he said.

She still stayed silent.

"I can tell that she is a sore loser, " Thomas said from where he stood.

"Stay out of this Thomas. She wouldn't be like this if you hadn't pissed her off, " Aiden said.

"She's a girl and she needs to act like one, " Thomas said.

"Well, this certain girl doesn't. Never has, and never will, " Kira said softly.

"Kira, come with me, " Aiden said as he stood up.

He put his hand on her arm and drew her up with him. He led her towards the stairs. They walked up them at her pace. Then they went to the bedroom at the end of the hall. It was the spare bedroom. Also known as Kira's room for when she stayed over.

They entered the room and Aiden closed the door behind them. They stood there in silence for a while. But then Aiden spoke.
