Sorry for being so lazy, you guys are awesome for trying to keep up with this story. Special thanks to StrawberriCat for dissing Sho when I can't. Man I hate that guy and yet I'm trying to make him a girlfriend. Hm...Go figure.

Thanks to all reviewers as usual. Love you guys. I always need a good kick to get going and you are usually good at providing it. Keep it up!

Sho sighed as he and Tora hadn't found 'KittehPrincess' and it was already night. Tora had 'helped' by joking with him and making fun of him. She wasn't like other girls, all of them clamoring for his attention. Instead, she treated him like any other person. Like Kyoko had, when they were still friends.

Sho missed Kyoko. She had been his best friend and sister for his whole life. Without her, he felt lonely. Maybe that was why he liked talking with 'KittehPrincess' whenever he could. Though she was different. There was something else about her that he felt was more that 'KittehPrincess' had. Tora was a bit like that too. She had something special.

Tora was happy that she had found someone to hang out with while she was there, even if it was Sho. He wasn't so bad when he was acting normal. Sho was even funny when he wanted to be. She found it hard to believe that he had been so cruel as to treat Kyoko like a slave when they had been friends for so long.

Tora sighed as she saw Yashiro come in, looking around the skating rink for her. "I have to go," she said, looking at Sho and shrugging.

"Maybe we'll see each other again sometime," Sho said, smiling at Tora.

"Yeah," Tora said, smiling back at him and nodding. She skated over to the exit and changed out of her skates into her shoes. Yashiro hurried over to her, looking tired and stressed.

"Are you alright? Who was that you were talking with?" Yashiro asked, hovering around Tora slightly.

"I'm fine. And who I talk with is none of your business," she replied, heading out to look for Ren's car.

"If anything happens to you Ren will throw a fit," Yashiro said, following after her and pointing out the car.

"Yes, I know," Tora sighed. She looked back at Yashiro, smiling slightly. "He's trying to be there for me, isn't he?" she asked.

"He is, though it's hard for him. For both of you really," Yashiro said, scratching the back of his head.

Tora nodded and got into the car. Ren was watching them with a confused look. Yashiro just shrugged to him, smiling to himself.

When Ren and Tora arrived back at Ren's apartment, Tora opened the door and was surprised to see Kyoko inside with a birthday cake.

"Kyoko," Tora said, smiling happily. She went and hugged Kyoko, happy that her friend had made her a cake.

Ren smiled at them, grabbing his present for Tora from the couch. "Here," he said, handing it to his sister when she was done hugging Kyoko.

Tora took the present, looking at it curiously before opening it.

"Oh my...Ren!" she exclaimed, smiling up at him. He had gotten her a computer tablet with software to make paintings and drawings on her laptop.

"Happy birthday Tora," Ren said, smiling at her. Tora hugged him tight, feeling so happy. It was practically a perfect day. If only she could have spent some time with 'Rockstar' too.

Hahaha! They still don't know who the other is yet! It's so funny!

Please keep poking me till I post! I promise I'll try harder if you do!
