Chapter 12

Kendra snuggled closer to Zazie, snaked her arms around Zazie's waist and buried her face in her awaiting shoulder.

"Come on Kendra…you know you can trust me. Just tell me what happened last night…I'm here to listen and comfort, you're here to share that pain with me." Zazie said. Kendra squeezed Zazie tighter, 'to think I was just fine a few minutes ago…I really do need Zazie's help' Kendra thought.

"It's my dad…" Kendra started.

"I got a phone call last night…he had a major seizure and right now…he's in a coma and I-I don'…" Zazie realized Kendra's body tensed up as she paused in the middle of her sentence. Now Zazie was really worried and wouldn't stop at anything to help Kendra through her problems.

"Kendra…please…" Zazie pleaded quietly. Kendra exhaled slowly, even with a little bit of difficulty, and forced her body to loosen up.

"…I don't know…when he'll wake up. The doctors said dat it could be days, weeks, months…or even years before he wakes up, and even worse….there's a higher chance dat he'll d-die…" Kendra choked back a sob from nearly escaping her voice. Zazie began to slowly massage Kendra's back with her hand to help make her comfortable enough to continue, 'my god, Kendra…to think you're going through something like this…' Zazie thought depressingly.

"A-and…I had this dream last night" Kendra stuttered.

"I was in the middle of darkness; there was nothin' there, nothin' at all. I started running to find a way out but there wasn't. Then I turned around and saw my dad…h-he was in a hospital bed wit a monitor and everythin'." Silent tears began to roll down Kendra's cheeks once again.

"He looked terrible Zazie…like he could've died right there and then, wearin' a raggedy and torn hospital gown, his pupils were rolled into the back of his head, and he didn't move or flinch a lil bit!" Kendra hugged Zazie as tightly as possible, feeling that if she didn't, she would lose her and be left alone to face the horrid reality by herself. Kendra sniffled before she continued explaining what happened.

"I started blamin' myself for the way he was and that I was sorry over and over again. But then suddenly he started h-having a seizure right in front of me, I panicked and didn't know what to do! Then the monitor went flat line!" Kendra shouted into Zazie's shoulder, slightly muffling what she was saying, but Zazie still understood how her lover was feeling…and it was killing her. '…Kendra, please…don't ever, ever keep something like this to yourself again. Seeing you like this is just saddening…' Zazie thought. She slowly stroked Kendra's hair, both to comfort Kendra and to bask in the softness of her silky black strands.

"…thanks…" Kendra muttered.

"And then I started to runaway but his dead body came back to life and grabbed onto me. He kept sayin' over and over dat I was to blame and dat I killed him. He said that I should be punished and suffer just like he did…that's when these…these…I don' know how to say it. Like…some gateway opened up from the floor and a swarm of long, flimsy…b-bloody hands came out." Kendra could feel a small hint of nausea making itself known in the pit of her stomach, but she fought it down with a deep breath.

"They pulled me down into the gateway where it was even darker…my dad was laughin' like a maniac or somethin'. Finally, I shouted that I was sorry one more time and then the doors closed completely…and then I woke up…" Kendra's grip on Zazie loosened and she scooted back to gaze upward slowly, only to have the feeling of intense relief and reassurance wash over her. Zazie's eyes were closed, as she was patiently listening to Kendra's nightmare until the very end. After a few moments, Zazie realized the slight loss of warmth and gently opened her eyes to see Kendra looking up into her own eyes, '…god those hazel eyes…' Zazie thought. She caressed Kendra's cheek and inched closer towards her face; her steady breath tickling Kendra's skin.

"…go on…" Zazie whispered. Kendra eyeballed Zazie's lips, almost as if in a trance and felt shivers go up her spine, 'is she tryin' to comfort me or…' Kendra quickly closed her eyes shut, 'no, no, I have to keep myself together…' Kendra thought irritably. She reopened her eyes and could still feel Zazie softly stroking her cheek.

"And I…don' know what to do. Don' misunderstan' when I say dis…a'ight?" Kendra asked nervously.

"Of course" Zazie responded immediately.

"I've been thinkin' dat maybe…it was my fault dat my dad is like dis. My mom needed me for help takin' care of dad…but I left to find you instead. Now…I'm wonderin' if comin' here was a mistake and I've been thinkin' dat maybe I should go back…" Kendra carefully looked back up at Zazie, her face cringing in fear from Zazie's reaction of her last spoken sentence. Zazie, without hesitation, held Kendra's chin within her hand and stared her straight in the eyes, which was unusually aggressive for the shy half-demon. Kendra's eyes widened as a pink blush flared across her cheeks.

"Tell me…" Zazie started, her eyes burrowing into Kendra's hazel orbs, almost as if looking into the dark skin girl's soul.

"…what your feelings tell you…and do NOT let your guilt guide you because you are not to blame for any of this. You are a sweet, kind and remarkably beautiful girl with a strong heart…so don't you dare tell me that your father's illness was because of you; I can tell how much you care about this…and I'm sure your dad knows how much you care as well." Zazie said before she finished off her lecture with a quick peck on Kendra's lips. Kendra was astonished, for Zazie to be so talkative and aggressive all of a sudden and to make so much since with such modesty…it seemed to Kendra that there was still more for her to learn about Zazie. On the inside though, Zazie was a complete flustered mess, but not nearly as bad as Setsuna would be around Konoka; it takes an experienced pro to handle that much blood rushing to their head. She didn't plan to do that, her body and mouth just moved on its own accord but there was no turning back now, she had to follow through with her actions.

"…m-my heart.." Kendra stuttered, her blush deepening for more reasons than one. 'First Setsuna…and now Zazie. Why does the answer come to them?'

"says that I…" 'it's like…my heart is an unsolvable puzzle, confusin' and inaccurate almost always, all the time…it's not fair!'

"…I couldn't stand the idea of losin' you again, Zazie." Kendra whispered vulnerably as she rested her forehead against Zazie's, 'I'm not gonna let guilt, fear, or worry ruin the most cherished thing to happen to me…Zazie' Kendra thought. Zazie smiled broadly at Kendra, in all truth, she felt nervous about Kendra's response; she was pretty sure Kendra would stay…but not certain. Kendra matched Zazie's grin with a toothy smile of her own and added confidently

"I mean, come on, who wouldn't miss dis face?" Zazie and Kendra laughed a little bit, 'dat's right heart…you don' always control me!' just as Kendra thought that, she felt an unusual urge in her chest. It was a faint burning sensation within the left region of her chest, the exact spot where her heart was, her heart beat pounding faster and faster. This feeling however, wasn't as painful as Kendra's past chest pains, so she just ignored the weird feeling and kept her attention on Zazie's deep brown eyes. Just as quickly as the feeling appeared, it vanished. 'Dat was different…maybe it was a new magical presence or somethin'?' Kendra pondered as she mentally shrugged off her uncommon heart reaction. Kendra slowly removed her head from Zazie and sat up in the bed. The half-demon sat up as well and rested her head on Kendra's shoulder.

"So…it's Saturday, want to go out today or stay in and laze around?"

"To tell you da truth…I'm feelin' pretty tired from all dis emotion stuff. Let's chill for a bit and then I'll take you out somewhere." Kendra responded groggily.

"Yeah, you have been going through a lot, haven't you?" Kendra rested her head on top of Zazie's and then planted a kiss on her head.

"Ain't dat the truth…" They sat in silence, still leaning comfortably onto each other and hands now intertwined together. Kendra and Zazie sighed contently, almost as if simultaneously and then looked to each other sharing similar smirks; they knew they were thinking the same thing.

'Finally…' Kendra thought.

'…our perfect silence.' Zazie finished in her thoughts as she snuggled her head closer into the crook of Kendra's neck…


Somewhere else within the hallways of Mahora, a pinkish-red head student was walking by herself. To the normal eye, people would say that she was walking by herself…but that wasn't the case. Class 3A's journalist and paparazzi, Kazumi Asakura, was chatting idly with a mysterious presence floating along with her.

"So that's how it is, Sayo. I can't get anything out of that transfer student; I'll have to start talking drastic measures!" Kazumi said fiercely as she clenched her fist and her eyes burned with passion, her easily recognized zealous smile making its self known upon her face. A bodiless soul with long white hair and grey eyes smiled and then shook her head at Kazumi; and bodiless couldn't be more accurate. Sayo was a ghost of Mahora Academy who died decades before while still attending this school and never passed on because of unfinished business. She wore the same school uniform as she did back then and never once left the campus for an unfortunate reason; her memory has failed her in answering the most important question. What was her unfinished business? This she did not know and could not pass on peacefully; spending everyday sitting in the empty seat next to Kazumi in homeroom, her presence was never noticed until Negi performed a spell for making herself visible in front of people who already had the knowledge and knew the existence of magic. Now Sayo, Mahora's own ghost and Kazumi's best friend, couldn't be any happier with how drastically her life…her after life has changed and it was all thanks to Negi.

"Don't worry Kazumi-San you'll get the information you'll need soon." Sayo reassured sweetly.

"You can bet Kami that I will! It's time to take the initiative, it's a dangerous mission but, if it works…I know I'll get something juicy like a secret out of her!" Kazumi announced loudly as the flames in her eyes burned brighter. Passing students stared at Kazumi awkwardly as they walked by, giving disturbed glances at the girl shouting to herself. Sayo noticed this and immediately sweat dropped.

"U-um…Kazumi-San? Maybe you should keep it down? People are starting to stare." Sayo pleaded gently but her suggestion was quickly countered by the stubborn journalist.

"Who cares? The life of a journalist has taught me that public dignity comes second to getting a big scoop! Besides, you don't have to worry since you're dead…oh…" Kazumi quickly placed her hands over her mouth, deeply regretting what she just said.

"S-Sayo, I didn't' mean that…" Kazumi said cautiously 'damn! I have got to watch what I say...' Sayo looked away and rubbed her hand on her arm, talking about the obvious fact that she was dead was still an uncomfortable topic for her, no matter how many decades it's been.

"…just forget it…Kazumi-San, it's not a big deal…" Sayo mumbled, her tone of voice failing her words. 'Sayo…' Kazumi thought guiltily. She reached for Sayo and laid her hand on her arm, only to have it go through her completely. Sayo looked back at Kazumi and smiled sadly at her, 'I can talk to others, I can see others, but I can't touch others…' Sayo thought. As Kazumi's hand passed all the way through her she stared at her hand; also hating the fact that she couldn't feel anything. She clenched her hand into a fist and her lips formed into a thin line of frustration. She looked away from Sayo and continued pacing down the halls.

"Come on Sayo. Let's…go hunt for a story." She waved her hand motioning for Sayo to follow along without looking back at her ghostly friend. It's not like she didn't want to look at Sayo, but Kazumi didn't want her to see her face right now. It was mixed with guilt, confusion…and desire. She held up her palm in front of her and slowly flexed her hand opened and closed, 'I wonder…if I could just touch her one time…just to know what it feels like…' Kazumi shoved her hand into her skirt uniform pocket and sighed silently to herself. 'It's only a what-if. That'll never come true. Sayo…if only you weren't dead, if only…' Her eyebrows furrowed. Kazumi shook her head swiftly, trying to abandon those thoughts. Daydreaming about such a fantasy wouldn't make things any better at the moment. Eventually, the two friends arrived at Kendra's room door. Kazumi forced a smile on her face, raised her knuckles and knocked four times. There was no response. She knocked again; only much louder this time. There was still not response. Kazumi sighed in annoyance; nothing has been going her way lately. She turned back at Sayo and said

"She's not here. But I'm not giving up that easily, in fact, my resources(in other words, Haruna) have told me that Kendra has been seen hanging around Zazie-San!" Sayo raised her eyebrows at this.

"Zazie-San? You mean our Zazie-San? Like Zazie Rainyday Zazie…that Zazie-San?" Sayo questioned skeptically. Kazumi nodded her head eagerly, feeling the flames of determination beginning to rekindle in her eyes.

"Mhm! So our best bet would be Zazie-San's dorm!" Kazumi shouted triumphantly. She turned her attention to Sayo and asked

"You have the spy equipment, right?" Sayo smiled as she held out her hands in front of her; the air between her hands condensed and then formed into a small, fluffy, brown teddy bear.

"Yep, got it right here."

"Awesome! Now, onward my trusty sidekick!" Kazumi pumped her fist into the air and began to march down the halls for Zazie's dorm room…


Back in the said girl's room, Zazie and Kendra decided to watch a movie together and were currently cuddling on the couch. When Zazie brought up the idea, Kendra happily complied, that is, until she mentioned it was a romantic film. Kendra wasn't a huge fan of the romance genre, but Zazie on the other hand was a hopeless romantic. Kendra, who could never turn down a pleading Zazie, decided to watch the movie anyways. In all truth, it wasn't as bad as Kendra would thought it would be, she barely even focused on the movie. She spent her time admiring Zazie's face every few minutes, which didn't go unnoticed by the tan demon. Kendra's gaze would make her blush no matter how many times she's done it already; that was another bonus for Kendra. She enjoyed seeing a flustered Zazie. Suddenly, Kendra noticed that Zazie's blush turned a darker shade of red with her eyes wide open and glued to the television screen. Kendra looked at the screen and immediately felt a grin slowly form on her face. An intimate scene was occurring during the movie…and it wasn't a simple kiss scene. Now Kendra had two options; one, she could laugh at Zazie's innocence or two, she could take advantage of the moment. 'Is dat a trick question?' Kendra thought smugly. Unlike most ignorant people who use the 'yawn and stretch arm over shoulder' trick, Kendra used a more direct approach. She leaned over towards Zazie, grabbed the back of the half-demon's head and turned her face to look at her. Kendra then whispered confidently

"Those two seem to be havin' a good time, don'cha think?" Kendra flicked her eyes over at the screen in which informed Zazie to do the same. They happened to see the part where the two lover's actions were becoming more passionate and then the scene suddenly blacked out; couldn't show too much in the movie for the viewers. They both averted their attention back to each other; their faces showing completely different expressions. Kendra was staring at Zazie deeply, her eyes reflecting a sign of longing and focus. Zazie had a crimson blush spread across her cheeks with her eyes glazed over.

"Makes me jealous, wish I could have a good time like dat. I can't do it by myself though…think you can help me…Zazie~?" Kendra said the demon's name in a flirtatious sing song tone that sent a jolt of electricity to travel through Zazie's body. With the amount of tension Zazie had in her from that question, she could only manage to nod once quickly. Kendra smile broadly and rubbed Zazie's arm with her other hand.

"Man, you're so tense. Calm down babe, I won' do nothin' but kiss you, dat's all." Kendra reassured her nervous girlfriend. But instead of calming down like Kendra asked her to; she only tensed up more when she heard Kendra call her 'babe'. 'D-did she call me…b-babe? Oh dear Kami, I don't know why but please let her call me babe again…' Zazie thought. She looked down at her lap and mumbled

"…do that again…"

"Do what?" Kendra asked playfully. She knew what Zazie meant, but she wanted to hear the shy girl say it.

"C-call me…babe again, please?" Zazie asked shyly. Kendra chuckled and then moved her face closer to Zazie's but halted a few centimeters away from claiming her prize.

"You don' even have to ask…babe…" Kendra's hot breath lightly brushed across Zazie's lips; tempting her with an open invite. With Kendra's hand still gently wrapped around the back of Zazie's head she decided to give her a little push. She pulled her head closer to her face. Zazie, who was still in a daze from being called babe again, allowed herself to be guided by Kendra's hand. She always felt weak in Kendra's embrace, like all of her strength would just leave her body without a trace. Their mouths now were only a hair's length away as their breaths began to mingle and the thudding of Zazie's racing heart sent vibrations into the amorous air around them. Zazie closed her eyes and-

KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK!

Kendra and Zazie jumped apart and immediately began to rush around the room. Kendra turned off the DVD player and then turned to another channel. Zazie fixed up her bed sheets and then placed her frazzled strands of hair back in place. She turned around to see that Kendra was already relaxing on the couch, lazily flipping through the channels with her legs casually crossed. Lastly, Kendra had on her usual bored mask although she was fuming on the inside, 'dammit! I was so close! Oh well…guess we'll get back to it later…' Kendra thought angrily. Zazie was somewhat disappointed by the turn of events as well. She walked up to the door and then opened it to see Kazumi and Sayo. The next thing Zazie noticed was that Kazumi was holding a teddy bear in her arms with a tag on it that read 'Kendra'. Zazie felt her left eye twitch. Of all people to show up at her door with Kendra in her room, it just had to be the class paparazzi Kazumi. The said girl didn't seem to notice Zazie's twitch, unlike Sayo who stared at Zazie quizzically, and just smiled brightly while holding out the stuffed animal.

"We wanted to give a welcoming gift to our new classmate here! We checked Kendra-San's room but she wasn't there, but…" Kazumi stepped into the room and eyeballed the back of Kendra's head. A lecherous grin graced her features.

"I heard that she's been hanging around good ole Zazie-San here and decided to see for ourselves. Who would've thought that it was true?" Kazumi shouted smugly as she wrapped her arm around Zazie's shoulders and pulled her into a light half-hug. Now Zazie paled, 'th-there's rumors about us already?' Kazumi, who noticed Zazie's off behavior, glared wickedly at her and then at Kendra who was still lazily flipping through the channels. Kendra felt the anonymous glare penetrate to the back of her head so she finally turned around to acknowledge her presence.

"Yo, you got an eye problem?" Kendra asked irritably; her cold gaze easily outweighing Kazumi's glare. Kazumi slightly shrunk back at first but stood her ground, 'I'm a journalist! Nothing can stop me from getting a story!' Kazumi thought. Suddenly, Kendra's glare disappeared, receding back to her bored expression with a large hint of confusion in her eyes. Kazumi realized that Kendra's confused stare was in her direction and began to wipe her face.

"What? Is there something on my face?" Kazumi asked, but Kendra's stare wasn't for her, it was for the ghost floating right beside her. Kendra cautiously walked up to the puzzled journalist and then stopped in front of Sayo.

"Zazie" Kendra whispered. Zazie slowly nodded at Kendra, giving the shocked girl her full attention.

"Call me crazy but…" Kendra waved her hand through Sayo's body and then snatched her hand back to her side like she just touched a hot stove.

"I see dead people…" that statement stabbed Sayo straight through the heart and winced a little bit. Kazumi grinned wildly and then immediately whipped out her journal, jotting down what is known to be her next big hit. 'Transfer student can see the dead! This story will be gre-' that's when Kazumi dropped her pencil and notepad all together with her mouth hanging open.

"W-wait, you can see Sayo? But that means…you know about magic, don't you?" Kazumi stuttered as she pointed an accusing finger at Kendra.

"Maybe I do…so what?" Kendra stated nonchalantly. Kazumi's eyes began to sparkle as she started to feel the ideas of her next article flooding from her brain. Sayo could tell that it was going to be a long day of work back at Kazumi's dorm. Kendra, who ignored Kazumi's little…moment, turned her attention back to Sayo.

"So…your name's Sayo?" the ghost girl was a little taken aback by the casualness from the girl who was frightened of her only a mere few seconds ago but replied politely

'Yes, my name is Aisaka Sayo. If I remember correctly, your name is Guinyard Kendra?"

"Yep, but call me Kendra. Guinyard-San is way too formal and sounds disgustingly polite to me." Kendra felt like she wanted to gag just from saying Guinyard-San, 'makes me feel like I'm thirty or somethin'' Kendra thought.

"Listen, I do have a question for ya." Kendra said, snapping out of her thoughts of bashing on formalities.

"Y-yes?" Sayo stuttered, praying in her mind that it wasn't some stereotypical question about ghosts.

"Do you have some kind of magical source in ya?" This question caught her by surprise. Plus, that iron mask Kendra had for a bored expression didn't help the ghost girl's nerves.

"W-well I-"

"Yep!" Kazumi interrupted; barging into the conversation since she finally came out of her crazed journalist phase.

"Sayo here used to be invisible to everyone but Negi-Sensei used a spell to make her be seen by people that already know about magic and stuff!" Kendra noticed something right away from what Kazumi just said, 'Kazumi-San didn't use any honorifics. She just called her Sayo, not Sayo-San. Must be pretty close…' Kendra was keen at picking up these kinds of things, she's only transferred to Mahora two days ago and she's already spotted two other pairs of girls who had feelings for each other. 'Damn…maybe I'll find another pair tomorrow? Hell, I bet I can find another pair later on today.' Kendra thought amusingly.

"So…why were you guys here again?" Kendra asked. Kazumi handed Kendra the stuffed teddy bear and then said

"This is a welcoming gift from us! We didn't really know what you liked so we just got you this…is it okay?" Kazumi asked. Kendra held up the teddy bear in front of her and looked it over. Then she started to check every part of it, behind the ears, the feet, the back, under the arms, everywhere. This caused Sayo and Kazumi to sweat drop.

"H-hey, what're you doing there?" Kazumi asked nervously.

"I'm not stupid you know. You're the paparazzi, so I'm checkin' dis thing for a camera…" Kendra said casually, double checking every possible hiding spot. Kazumi gulped, 'damn…this girl is smart.' The only place Kendra hasn't checked was the eyes, which she was checking right now. Kazumi and Sayo watched Kendra intensely, praying to Kami that she wouldn't find the recording device. Kendra stared at the teddy bear's eyes suspiciously. They had a red ring around the shining pupils, which wasn't sitting right with her.

"There's somethin' 'bout…" Kendra started. Kazumi looked around the room while whistling a random tune; Sayo stood…well, floated frozen where she was, her breath caught in her throat.

"…these eyes. They have dis red ring 'round da pupils."

"What? Red rings? Well, isn't that unusual hahah…(?)" Kazumi laughed nervously. Kendra's cold glare came back.

"Yeah…unusual a'ight…How did ya get the eyes to look dis cool?" Kendra asked, surprise heard in her voice. Kazumi fell face first to the floor, 'whaaaaat?' Sayo decided to speak for the momentarily shell shocked journalist.

"I-It just came like that when we bought it."

"Oh…a'ight then. Well…if dat's all y'all wanted then-"

"Y-yes! That's all we wanted, isn't that right Sayo!" Kazumi shouted, finally regaining her composure…well at least some of it anyways. Sayo could only manage a nod before realizing Kazumi was already making a mad dash for the door.

"Wait up Kazumi-San!" Sayo whined as she chased after the spirited news writer. Kazumi slammed the door and panted heavily while leaning against it. Sayo showed up seconds later, phasing through the walls.

"Great job, Kazumi-San! It looks like she fell for-"

"No…she didn't Sayo…" Kazumi interrupted, her face shadowed from the light. Sayo looked at Kazumi confusingly.

"But, she didn't find the camera just like you planned."

"No Sayo, she did. Just like she said, she's not that stupid. I bet she's gonna throw it away as soon as she gets the chance…" A long moment of defeated silence passed until a grin crept across Kazumi's face.

"But the war is far from over my trusty side-kick!" Kazumi shouted as she felt her fighting spirit return to her and fist pumped into the air again. Sayo smiled genuinely at her hyperactive friend, 'that's my Kazumi for you…' The ghost's eyebrows furrowed, 'did I just say…my Kazumi?' Sayo thought incredulously. She shook off the suspicious thoughts and followed after the said girl who was now running back to her dorm to plan for their next form of attack.


Zazie stared at Kendra disbelievingly.

"K-Kendra…are you sure you can trust them about that teddy bear?" Kendra answered Zazie's question by giving her a quick peck on the lips and then smiling evilly.

"…of course not. I told ya I ain't stupid. But…since they want a story so bad, I'm gonna give em one." Kendra's evil smirk widened, which sent a small chill down Zazie's spine. The smile didn't scare her; in fact, she kind of liked this bad girl act that Kendra was giving off. Zazie's cheeks began to burn red when her imagination decided to flash images of a bad ass Kendra, 'my Kami what is wrong with me?' Zazie thought frantically.

"S-s-so what did you h-have in mind?" Zazie stammered. Kendra moved her face closer to Zazie's and then whispered

"That's a surprise, babe." Kendra's smile grew even more when she saw Zazie's entire face light up crimson red.

"Let's head back to my dorm, your roommate will prob'ly be back soon." Kendra said as she walked back to Zazie's bed and got her 'KAZE' bag from under the covers.

"Plus, I wanna hurry up and give you dis." Zazie only managed to nod, which earned a chuckle from Kendra.

"Come on Zazie…" Kendra playfully rolled her eyes at the blushing half-demon and then dragged her gently by the wrist for the door; her 'KAZE' bag and new 'gift' in the other hand. As they were walking down the halls side-by-side, Kendra glanced over at Zazie.

"Hey Zazie, when do you plan on lettin' others know dat we are together?" Kendra asked unconcernedly. Zazie was going to say that anytime was fine, but she hesitated after feeling the pit of her stomach twist with fear once again.

"J-just um…whenever someone f-finds out I guess…" Zazie managed to force out of herself. Kendra smirked to herself; that was all she needed to know. Of course she knew that Zazie was still scared about this, but she knows Zazie will come around soon.

"But why do you ask, Kendra?"

"No reason." Kendra responded quickly.


Okay, that's all for now. Hmmm, I wonder what Kendra's up to...oh well. I guess we'll see next chapter. So until then, please leave a review!- :)
