Still not dead. Exhausted because of exams, maybe, but not dead. Exams are over-now I'm exhausted because there are classes, classes for next year's exam-in March. I hate the educational system.

Enjoy the story!!
Stealing Planes:
In the night, they were keeping watch over three planes which Nokoru said Artemis might steal. Kyuu still couldn't understand how a girl his age could steal a plane, but Akira assured him that it could be done. Suddenly, his walkie-talkie crackled to life. Kira's voice filtered in. "She did it! No one came near the plane, but it's readying itself for take-off!" "Right!" he said into the receiver, breaking into a run to the place Ryu was keeping watch. " Ryu, the plane's taken off on its own!" Ryu nodded, alert and said, "She must be in the control tower! That's the only place from which you can send instructions to the planes!"
Suoh's voice broke into the receiver, signaling all of them. "I've seen her! She's in the control tower!" They started running in that direction in great haste. When they reached, they saw Suoh, Nokoru, Kira, and Akira, trying to follow Artemis, who was in the shadows. They ran after her. Suoh and Kira looked at each other, and suddenly made a well-coordinated running start. Then they disappeared around a corner. The others continued running after them. They reached a point where the person stopped in the shadows, as if waiting for them.
It was definitely Artemis. She smiled at them. "Where are Suoh and Kira?" Nokoru asked. She kept on smiling and said, "I shook them off, so they're a bit lost right now." As she spoke, suddenly she turned her head to one side, as if listening. There came the sound of footsteps, and suddenly Kira and Suoh burst from a door at the side. They looked at Artemis for a minute, while she looked at them, and the others stared at both of them, dumfounded. Artemis smiled again at all the confusion, and was off with a 'see ya later' "Ah!" Kira ran after her. So did the rest. "Wait right there!" Kira said, as she continued running after her. They turned around a corner, and to their dismay, she was gone again. "Brilliant." Suoh said, gritting his teeth.
Suddenly, a sleepy Kay, still in her nightgown, came through a door. She yawned and asked them sleepily, "Where am I? I seemed to have gone sleepwalking again." "Sleepwalking?" asked Nokoru incredulously. "Yeah. I've a history." With that she rubbed her eyes, for the entire world like a little child who'd just woken up. "A history of sleepwalking? That's strange." Kazuma said. But Kyuu told him it was true. "And how would you know, Mr. Smarty-pants?" Kinta asked him. "Uh... I just do." Kyuu looked a little uncomfortable. " Okay. So we lost her. Now what?" Ryu said quickly, changing the subject. "Now we go to the council room to work out why she took the plane." Akira said, smiling. "I must ask her the recipe for all the cookies she leaves for us. They're not from here, and I can't understand what's in them by just tasting them."
"What's this about cookies, anyway?" Kinta asked. "They're good to eat, but you guys talk about them as if they're clues or something." "They are" Kira said. "She leaves messages about what she's about to steal in the shapes of the cookies. We should find out what's next." She sighed. "I wish I could cook like her." Ryu was surprised. "You can't?" He asked her, keeping the surprise out of his voice. "Nope." She smiled. "Somehow no one even allows me to go near the kitchens, for fear of me burning either myself or the Building." "That bad?" Kinta asked. She just turned away a little.
Now class Q was confused. They were sure that Kira was Artemis, but she couldn't cook- and they had seen her chasing after Artemis herself. They discussed it on the way, splitting up from the Clamp School council. "So, it can't be Kira, since we saw her chasing Artemis. The only way a person could have got out of that room was through the window, or through the door. As far as I can make out from the two digital photographs my computer's camera took, there was a sheer drop of about 50 feet outside the window. No one, not even a master ninja, could have survived that drop, especially calculating the few seconds that she had for disappearing." Kazuma gave this extremely lengthy speech, then looked at the screen again.
"So the only other possibility is..." Kinta said. "That she went through the door." Ryu continued. "But if that's true then Kay would've seen her." Kyuu said. "But she says she didn't... unless she was sleepwalking at the time that Artemis went through that door." "Which is highly doubtful." Kazuma said. "She didn't look all that sleepy to me." "Hmm... it is a problem." They were thoughtful as they went to the office and saw the cookies.
(Let's skip the cookies part, it's not got that much relation, and I need to wrap up the fic fast.)
Soo... everyone who reviewed and said it was Kira, have you changed your minds? If you have...Oh, never mind. Whosoever gets it right will get... a prize. The prize will have to constitute something written, or something virtual. Cookie? Or maybe a one-shot with your OC in it?
Review, people!!
