J.K. got dressed, and walked out of the room, she went and poured herself a
glass of orange juice then after making sure no one was looking reached
above the cabinet and grabbed a small bottle she had hidden there, then
made it into a screw driver. She drank it moderately then watched Kento
come stumbling into the kitchen. She heard him mumble something about
food, and after watching him eat a handful of chocolate chips he seemed
revived. J.K. had never understood his way of just being able to wake up
and eat sugar on the spot. It made her cringe just thinking of it. Kento
grabbed her screwdriver and her bottle then poured it down the sink. He
looked accusingly at her, and she just grabbed a jacket and left.
As she jogged down the road she seethed inside, that he had been so pompous to make a move like that especially when he knew she could kill him in 2 moves or less. She didn't like to think of her detox days, but now a days she could handle herself she hadn't gotten drunk in 2 years of course with the Ronin's around it hadn't been hard. They never were drinkers even after her influence. When she reached the last house on the street she kept running maybe she could run off her frustration. In her mind she turned to perfect soldier mode. She concentrated on how to get Quatre to seem unfaithful to Janai. She had notice he'd stayed at his apartment last night, she wondered if she should make her move before or after the ball. When she snapped out of her almost trance like state she didn't recognize where she was. She was somewhere in town, she ducked her head and started running back towards the safe house.
When she got back to the safe house Kento had already cooked breakfast and it smelled very good. Kento always did have a way with the kitchen, shortly after Mia and Yulie came into the dining room, Yulie was rubbing his eyes like a small boy, he couldn't of been much older then 16. J.K. sighed the things that war did to people, and yet without a war she was useless. Mia sat down and very politely started eating. Slowly J.K. counted down from 5 when she hit 1 the room suddenly seemed bursting at the seams with boys trying to shovel as much as they could into their mouths. J.K. took a mug of coffee and walked out onto the back porch and slowly drank it. Her mind traveled in almost circles around Heero, Quatre, Duo, Trowa, Wufei, and Janai. She had to find a weakness in each of them or get them separate because together they made an invincible team; each strength making up for each weakness of the other. Oh well, she'll would deal with that when the time came.

Janai shut her eyes and willed the room to stop spinning; it didn't work. She groaned and realized that the ball was that night. She had to hurry and get better. She jumped out of bed and immediately sat on the edge, holding her head. This was worse then she had thought. She looked at the green dress she had bought. It was simple and moderate but it would do the job. She needed to be aware. She needed to be prepared but how does one prepare for a phantom? That's what this faction of OZ had been compared to. Phantoms that appeared destroyed their target then disappear just as quickly. She plopped back on the bed set her alarm, and quickly passed out so that she would be ready for that night.
When she awoke, she slowly slipped on her dress; a green satin dress no sleeves and it had a small train in the back her arms were covered in gauntlets, or handless gloves. She did her make up and put her hair into a style that would blend in with the crowd. When she was sure she had everything covered she heard the roar of an engine outside her door, she looked out and saw Quatre getting out of a snappy blue sports car. She growled, grabbed her purse and walked out, passing him and getting in the passenger side. She didn't say anything as they drove down the road.
When Quatre spoke she stared straight ahead, "That's a lovely dress, um.you look quite radiant tonight."
Janai gritted her teeth and breathed through her nose.
"Tell me Quatre, does it do me justice???"
Quatre didn't reply.
Janai sighed, "Listen the only reason I'm coming with you is I don't feel like driving right about now. But that doesn't mean I have to be pleasant to you. I'll smile and I'll be sociable tonight but I'm going to get someone else to drive me home. Understand?"
Quatre nodded with a jerky movement, he was seething inside.

JK walked into the ballroom one arm was looped though Sage and the arm was looped through Rowen's arm. As they all entered, Kento immediately started inching towards the snacks and food. JK stepped back and grabbed his jacket.
"If you embarrass me tonight then I will take your hide and nail it to the ceiling." she whispered with a sugar sweet smile on.
Kento nodded and trotted over to the buffet, JK noticed it appeared someone with a long braid had beat him to it and was piling his plate as high as he could. JK made a mental note to make sure Kento knew his new eating pal was Due Maxwell. JK nodded her head giving the boys the signal to go find and socialize with their respective opposites.
