Tum Tum bounced ecstatically up and down chanting, "We're going to grandpa's tomorrow! We're going to grandpa's tomorrow!"

Colt threw his pillow at him hitting him square in the stomach, "Shut up spaz!"

"I can't believe we actually get to go to grandpa's!"

"And during school too!"

"I can't believe dad let us!"

"That's just 'cause we can't stay at home alone and grandpa won't move down here."

"But we still have to do schoolwork at grandpa's."

"Who cares! We get to do ninja during school!"

"Hey! How about we bring Kira? I mean, she trained with Grandpa for a while and stuff."

"And Colt wants to be with his GIRLFRIEND!"

"Shut up! She's not my girlfriend!"

"Whose got a girlfriend?"

The three of them turned and blushed when they saw Kira standing in the doorway looking perplexed but amused.

"Nobody's got a girlfriends, except Rocky."

"I do not!"

Silence followed and stretched for what seemed like ages. Kira grinned nervously, "So, what are you guys doing for the weekend?"

"Well-"

"You see-"

"It's kinda like-"

"Kira, we're going to grandpa's for 2 weeks because mum and dad have to go to New Mexico for the FBI."

Kira felt herself sag in disappointment but she forced a smile, "Hope you have fun."

"I'm sorry Kira, I -"

"I GOT IT! SHE CAN COME WITH US!" Colt nearly fell off his bed in excitement and when he saw Kira's delighted smile, he felt as if the sun had just come into the room.

"Really? You sure? I mean, if I don't fit in the car I can get there by.well."

"Well, we'll have to ask grandpa."

"He'll say yes."

"Don't be so sure."

Kira's head whirled as she followed this brisk exchange of comments, she couldn't believe this. She was going to see Sensei Tanaka again and she could train with the boys. She crossed her fingers, hoping that Sensei wouldn't mind her coming. She knew that he took ninja training very seriously and wouldn't welcome a distraction, even if it was in the shape of a former student. She grinned as she turned her attention back to the conversation.

Kira sat on the porch step with her duffel beside her, waiting for Sensei to pick her up. She could hear an awful racket coming from next door, she grinned to herself. She could imagine what was going on in there, a glance at her watch told her that she still had another 10 minutes to wait. Letting her mind wander she thought back over the last 3 weeks. Meeting the boys, her fight with Darryl, her fight with Yaman, the boys' discovery of her past and her secret, Colt's fight and her explanation. Then she had shown they boys' some of her magic and they had practiced ninja against each other. Then she had shown them Nerlalik, her weapon. Her golden staff that appeared at will and would cut anything that it touched except her. A crash from next door made her jump and she decided that it was time for her give hand.

Kira knocked and stepped inside, chaos met her eyes. Ducking a pair of shoes that flew her way she stepped outside again, shutting the door quickly behind her to stop anymore flying missiles. A car horn beeped and she jumped the fence to get to her duffel. Three blurs flew out of the house and jumped into the car, not bothering to open any doors. Three duffels were thrown into the back and three voices shouted over each other to grandpa.

Kira ran over and threw her duffel onto the pile. "It's good to see you again Sensei Tanaka."

"It's good to see you too Kira. Hop in."

Kira grinned and tumbled into the back without opening the doors.
