Mwahaha…

Kid and Lora walked the route towards his house in silence, neither one saying a word to the other about the living arrangements. Lora was not happy at all with the idea of staying under the same roof with some imbecile she just met a few hours ago, and her attitude showed it which Kid noticed immediately, nobody said anything about living with this buffoon to her.

She glanced over at him to see if he was just as upset about all this as she was, but then she saw it, his face looked almost emotionless, he looked like he didn't even care,

What is wrong with this guy? Did he not care that a complete stranger was coming to live with him; she could be a pathological liar for all he knew, a closet Serial killer, even an info maniac just waiting for him to turn his back and then BAM! But here he was all calm and collected.

She was just about to say something about his lack of appearing concern but then it suddenly dawned upon her, she didn't really have a place to stay, unless you call the rat infested hotel she currently resided in as a proper house. She knew she couldn't pay the full amount rent each month with her having to quit her job going to school and all, she then realized that she was going to have to stay with him, not that she liked the idea of sharing the same air with him more than was necessary.

Kid already knew this was going to be a very difficult situation; it was hard enough with Liz and Patty whom he actually got along with, he didn't even want to imagine how it was going to be with Lora, she probably didn't know anything about symmetry at all. Kid knew he should attempt to make this whole arrangement work, he just didn't understand why she seemed so mad all the time.

As soon as they reached his house Lora couldn't help but gawk at its enormousness, house? This was mansion; she almost couldn't believe she was going to stay here.

She then thought of her Mom and how much she would have liked for her to have lived in a place like this, it would have been a nice change from the small places they had to live in

"She would have liked a place like this" Lora whispered softly, suddenly realizing what she said, she quickly looked over at Kid hoping he didn't hear her in her moment of weakness, she was relieved however when she saw he wasn't responding,

At least he didn't hear me Lora thought relieved, she really didn't want him asking questions.

She then couldn't smile, or be happy, she only felt resentment towards Kid once again, and with that she let the almost smile fade away.

As soon as they reached the door Kid did what he did next out of pure habit, he opened the door and stood aside for Lora to walk in first,

"What are you doing?" Lora asked confused

"What do you mean" Kid asked sharing her confusion

"The door, what are you doing with it"

"Umm, holding it open"

Lora narrowed her eyes "Why" she asked slowly

Kid held her stare not really sure where this was going "For you to walk in" He said as if his deed should have spoken for itself

"Oh so you think I can't open a door for myself? You think I'm pathetic is that it, well believe it or not I can actually manage opening a door on my own" Lora snapped at him

"I didn't say you couldn't, no need to become so defensive, I'm just used to opening the door for…"

"For women whose hands have managed to lose all feeling and can't do anything for themselves" Lora finished Kid's sentence for him

Kid's face went blank, he couldn't believe her, here he was trying to be a gentleman and she basically threw it back in his face

"Close it" Lora said crossing her arms; Kid looked at the door and back at her

"The door, close it" she repeated

Kid closed the door, Lora marched over to the door and flung it open, before walking in she looked at her hands in disbelieve,

"Well would you look at that, still attached" Lora said sarcastically and looked at Kid, giving him a sarcastic smile.

Once they were inside Lora glanced around the house, wanting to get a good look at her surroundings, she had to admit she was rather impressed with its neatness and cleanliness; she walked through the house and looked at everything with curiosity, while she was familiarizing herself with everything Kid watched her as she walked and was waiting for the remark he was sure would be flung at him at any moment, but she wasn't saying anything, so he kept staring at her, waiting, but still nothing, he grew rather confused as to why she wasn't saying anything about the obvious symmetry in his house.

Everyone else always seemed to have something to say about his interior and his lifestyle, so why wasn't she saying anything; she was the first person he thought would say something the moment she stepped inside, but still it's been almost five minutes and she hadn't said a word, he kept on staring.

Lora felt eyes on her and seeing as it was just her and Kid inside the house she could safely assume the eyes she sensed was attached to the head of a flaming imbecile, she glanced up and saw Kid was indeed staring at her and with a really goofy look on his face to, she looked down thinking if she ignored him he'd stop staring, she looked up again and saw his eyes still fixated on her,

"What, What is it, what are you staring at"

Kid snapped out of it almost knocking over a vase that stood next to him, completely forgetting he was even looking at her,

"Sorry! Sorry I was just thinking about something"

"Oh how very hard that must be for you"

"You haven't said anything about the house, that's all" Kid said deciding to ignore the insult knowing there was plenty more where that one came from

"Well as much as it pains me to say, I actually like it" Lora said trying to sound neutral, saying she liked it was far enough, she didn't have to sound happy about it.

The compliment took Kid completely by surprise,

"You do?"

"Yeah, let's not make a big deal out of it but yeah I do, it's nice"

"So, you have nothing to say about the symmetry" Kid said brazing himself for the insults

Lora looked at Kid and then at the house, she had to admit it was kind of weird, but this was by far the nicest house she has ever lived in, and if symmetry was part of the package, then she didn't have any complaints, she looked back at Kid

"No, not really"

Kid couldn't hide the shock he felt and raised his eyebrows; Lora saw this and quickly thought of something she could say to safe the situation

"Well you know it's weird and all, I mean don't get me wrong but you definitely have more issues than National Geographic, but I guess seeing as to how I don't really have any other choice than to live here I guess I'm just going to have to keep my complaints to myself" Lora said trying not to sound completely in defence about what she said before, but to no avail, Kid already realized she was trying to cover up what was said

"Come on let me show you around" Kid said deciding that he should probably give her a tour of the house to break the ice and to make things a little less uncomfortable,

"You could just show me to my room, I don't need a tour I'll figure it out on my own, I'm sure I'll manage" Lora said bluntly,,

"Sure, right this way"

Lora just wanted to go to bed and put the whole day behind her, after seeing her huge room she was definitely looking forward to hit the snooze button in her brain.

"Well, great first day Lora; really you couldn't have done better" each word dripping with sarcasm,

"Oh Mom" Lora sighed looking up to where she imagined her Mom was now staring down at her and maybe even laughing at her brilliant people skills, the thought of this made her let out a faint snicker, "you probably would have known how to handle all this, you where always so strong, I'm trying to be strong, I really am, but it's a lot harder than you made it look"

Lora's eyes grew heavy as she slowly fell asleep.

Kid was lying in the middle of his bed, making sure not to be more on one side than the other; he wanted to uphold perfect symmetry, even in his sleep.

He couldn't help but think about what Lora said when they got to his house

She would have liked a place like this

Lora thought he didn't hear, but she was sorely mistaken.

Who was she?

He was sure Lora was not telling him everything, although it's not exactly like she's been an open book so far, he didn't even know her last name, what she ate for breakfast;

Probably human Emotion, seeing as she obviously lacked a bit of that

Nor did he know what her favourite colour was

Guess by judging from her appearance it's probably save to assume purple and black, even though it's hard to imagine she has a favourite anything.

What were her hobbies?

Most likely working on new snide and sarcastic comments, I be she has a special book for them

And then Kid realized he didn't know anything about his new weapon, and he decided that he was going to stop assuming everything about her and try to get to know her a bit better, but there was one thing he wanted to know above everything else

What happened to her?
