"Its been to long." Kia sighed in happiness once she paid the taxi and bought a big slice of pizza. She sat at a small table eating her pizza a drinking a really big cup of soda. She had her hair out of the ponytail and leaned her head back after she finished her soda. Ryoma had slipped her a bit extra money for times like these, she knew she wanted to go shopping but knew she should save the money. "i think i will go shopping." she smiled and picked up her plate and threw it away before walking out of the patio with a full cup of soda. she entered a book store and looked at all the books, she wasn't paying complete attention to were she was walking when she ran into a person. she dropped the books she had accumulated on her way down the row.

"Are you all right?" the boy she ran into bent down with her to help her pick up the books.

"Yeah, I'm cool. Thanks for your help..." She trailed off as she looked up to see that it was Fuji. That was when she noticed Eiji and Oishi behind him talking about a tennis book Eiji had in his hands. She mentally rolled her eyes so that Fuji wouldn't see it as they stood up and he handed the books that he gathered back to her.

"Here you go, you have some interesting books here." he said with his usual smile.

"With that smile your going to make a lot of people think your a rapist." She said before catching her self. "sorry, i meant to say thank you." She heard Eiji laughing behind them while Oishi was trying to get him to be quiet.

"OK... Well, anyway it looks like you need someone to carry your bags."

"Dude I just said you look like a rapist and you want to carry my bags?"

"Yep, gives us a chance to get to know each other." His smile got even bigger.

"Thanks but no, I can handle it." She smiled to the best of her ability and walked up to the counter after adding another book to her pile. She set them on the table at the register and waited while the cashier rung them up. Once the woman told her how much the books were she pulled out the money and paid for them before grabbing the bag and taking the change. She walked out the door to the book store only to see the three boys from before waiting out side of the store.

"I swear we have met before."

"No, I haven't seen you before in my life." She lied, she felt bad for it but she had to for her sake. She didn't know what they would do if they knew she was really the snarky little sibling to Ryoma.

"Ne ne she looks like ochibi!"

"I'm gone."

"Its dangerous, we should accompany you." This time it was Oishi not Fuji who said this, it sounded more like something Fuji would say so she was a little surprised but understood what he meant. The Taxi dropped her off at a not so great part of the town, which made her wonder why they were here but the best shops were here as well.

"Since y'all wont leave me alone, I guess, but I don't even know who y'all are, so I'm not gonna go anywhere with y'all till I know you."

"Some country kind of accent." Eiji pointed out.

"Shut up!" she hissed while she lead the way to the next shop she wanted to go to.

"I'm Oishi, this is Eiji and the one you met earlier is Fuji." Oishi introduced to Kia while they walked.

"Kallie, nice to meet you."

"So what are we doing now?"

"Clothes shopping."

"Why?"

"Cause I have money I want to spend."

"OK?"

"Don't ask, just go sit down or something..."

"Um..." She rolled her eyes at the boys who didn't know what to do before pulling the three to a rounded seat and pushed them all on to it.

"Now stay there." She stalked off and pulled a few pants off the rack and a skirt or two with quite a few tops to try on as well, she smiled at the boys before entering the changing room. After Quickly changing her clothes she walked out with a tight fitting outfit with flames all around on the clothes before she silently cursed her self.

"What's wrong?"

"I forgot to get shoes for the out fits."

"Well, I remember the clothes I can get some shoes that might fit."

"Sure..." She responded uncertainly. A few short minutes later a pile of patching shoes made its way over the top of the door and she jumped all the way back to the wall with her hands spread out against it.

"Does that work?" the three boys called to her.

"Um, sure..." she looked down at the shoes and sighed before getting off of the bench and neatly picking them up and setting them into there pairs. she slipped on a pair of leather boots that trailed halfway up her calfs with a zipper down the inside of her legs. she smiled and did a small spin before opening the door and sashaying out into the waiting area for the boys to see. Fuji Whistled at her while Oishi and Eiji gave a round of applause for her appearance. she smiled and went back into the dressing room to try on a few more, she went threw the pants and over half of the shirts before trying on the fist skirt. the shirt she picked to go with it was a tight fitting tube top in her favorite shade of blue, the skirt was a little shorter then she liked but it looked good with the shirt she picked. She left the room and showed it to the boys, she was spinning around to show the boys the full outfit when she heard a few girls whisper. She stopped and went back into the room and changed into her original clothes without paying attention to the boys. They all fell silent when she appeared with two piles, one was all the skirts and extra shirts while the other was the outfits she had tried on earlier, she discarded the pile of skirts into the return pile before heading over to the counter to pay for the clothes she had in her hands.

"Just these today Kallie?"

"Yes, please."

"Alright." the girl behind the counter smiled and scanned all of the clothes that Kia had brought up.

"Hey, were gonna hang out here for a minute, why don't you go on a head, we'll catch up, k?" Fuji offered once Kia was done paying for the clothes.

"Whatever." She left with the bag of clothes and her card before leaving the Store, she walked across the street into an accessory store that had a gothic theme to it. She never paid attention to the name but it was a cool place for teenagers to go for accessories. Fuji and the others did indeed join her once she bought what she had wanted from the store she last entered and was leaving it, Fuji had a bad the same as she had from the clothing store. "what do you have?"

"Just because of what those stupid girls said doesn't mean you don't look damn hot in these clothes, there only jealous because they know they cant look half as hot as you."

"I know i should take that as a complement, but I'm not the kinda girl who takes being hit on very well, its odd and uncomfortable."

"Sorry."

"But thank you." She smiled and kissed him on the cheek.

"Your welcome."

"I cant believe they said that about you." Eiji whispered looking like he was about to cry.

"Don't worry, it's not the first, it happens every week." Kia smiled and waved it off before leading them to a restaurant. "Hungry? My treat."

"No, our treat, you are the one who just blue a ton of money."

"So did you Fuji."

"Oh don't worry I have a ton of money for this stuff." She smiled and entered her favorite restaurant. The hostess lead them to a table of four before taking the fourth chair and giving it to a table of five. They all ordered the food, fuji getting spicy food, oishi got plain and calm food, Eiji got food that would make him hyper for the rest of the week. Kallie got her usual as the male waiter had proclaimed once he saw her, the meal was chicken fried chicken, her favorite. The three boys stared at her since this was the second place that people know her at.

"Do you come here often?"

"Only when I need to get away."

"Get away from what?"

"Nothing to bother you about." She mumbled as she looked down at her phone, she just received a text from her brother about how the rest of the team was starting to get worried that they couldn't find her. She sighed and scooted back from the table and placed her napkin down on the table. "excuse but have to go. It was nice shopping with the rapist and his friends, have a great day." She smiled and walked off with her bag.

"Wait you almost forgot your second bag," Fuji called to her with his smile.

"They aren't mine, you paid for them." She smiled and went to walk off.

"I bought them for you, please take them."

"Fine, thank you." She took the other bag and went up to the counter, "OK, so I really don't want to do this, but those boys over there, the ones I came in with, yeah, well I have to go so I'm gonna have you put there order on my tab and I'll pay for it when I come back next time, OK?"

"No problem Kallie, have a great day, say hi to your brother for me."

"Don't tell them about my brother either." She added before smiling at the girl and leaving. She easily got a taxi and shoved her bags in the back with her. the driver took her to the address she gave him and followed her order to take her around back, she paid the driver and heaved herself over the fence and threw a small rock at her window, her brother opened the window and threw down a rope for her to attached her bags to. He pulled her things up right before she started to climb up the drain and pull herself threw the window, and landed right on her brother.

"You have an extra bag this time."

"You can blame you damn prodigy, cat and mother for that...mostly the prodigy..."

"You met Fuji, Oishi and Eiji while you were out?"

"Yes, but no, they know me by my real name, Kallie, not Kia, and they keep saying it wrong... they keep calling my Kai."

"I know, what happened?" Ryoma watched as she threw off the clothes she had been wearing and threw them at Ryoma.

"Hide all the clothes will you please? And what do you think happened? I tried to get rid of them, i even called Fuji a rapist, and he still insisted on accompanying me. He bought the second bag of clothes, I wasn't going to." She growled before pulling her hair up and wrapping it so that it tucked neatly in the hat. "even after I told him he looked like a rapist he smiled even more and instead he joined me. He's creepy."

"He's a sadist."

"So am I but dude, Thats messed up!"

"Ryoma!" pounding on the door made Kia jump and grab her brother. he looked at her and held back a laugh.

"Yes!"

"Did you find Kia? I called Oishi and them and they said they'd be here after they finished eating. Said something about a girl...but I don't know."

"Yes, i found Kia, I told you baka's that Kia would come out when he wanted to." Ryoma snapped at the door. He turned to Kia and leaned to her, "Every pound on the door isn't going to be bad."

"Oh be quiet." She hissed at him before looking at herself in the mirror." She smiled when she decided she looked like normal. Ryoma laughed at her as she threw the door open and glared at Momo who stood there with the group that stayed here threw the day. "Move." She hissed when Momo blocked her way.

"We were worried about you. You could at least be nice."

"I told Fuji that I was going to sleep, not please move." She hissed again before pushing her way threw the people. Ryoma held back a laugh and walked after her. Fuji watched as Kia and Ryoma walked away from the group with the feeling of familiarity nagging at him.
