Chapter 3: Surprise!
Kia opened the door to see Jake frantically trying to shove something into a box. She could've sworn she saw a flash of green before he closed the box.
"Jake, I'm back," she stated, walking over to the pile of presents.
"Hi," Jake said. "Umm...I was just wrapping your present," he said, gesturing to the box that was taller than Kia.
"What did you get me? That box is huge," Kia asked.
"You'll find out," Jake said. "CHEESE!" he then shouted out, earning him a strange look from Kia.
Then about ten girls jumped out from behind furniture, presents, and one even had come from under the couch. "Happy Birthday Kia," they all shouted unanimously.
Kia smiled. "Thanks guys," she said.
All the girls immediately began filling Kia in on all the latest gossip. She only half listened. She couldn't stop looking at the box.
"...Jimmy Highler broke his leg...ohh she's in so much trouble...I can't believe her. Can you believe her?..." was pretty much all Kia heard out of the flood of gossip she heard as she continued to look at the red box with a blue bow in the top.
Nancy Drew was one of Kia's nickname because she had read all the books. And she loved mysteries. Kia was even starting to read the Hardy Boys. Her brother always said she'd be a detective when she grew up.
And you can imagine she was intrigued by the box more than anything else. It was a mystery screaming to be solved.
Kurama stood inside the box trying not to make any noise. He heard the river of gossip that was being exchanged among the girls. He listened, not that he knew any of the people, but because it gave him something to do. He half-wished he could be there, part of the party maybe even having fun. The other half of him knew otherwise, he would be made fun of and teased. Plus it was an all girl party, he would be out of place.
"Cake?" Jake suggested, to Kia's great relief, stopping the never ending gossip. Can these girls talk about anything other than other people? She wondered.
All the girls ran into the kitchen where a huge cake was standing. It had three layers, plus a base. It reminded Kia of the fountain because it was blue, like the chlorinated water that fell from the fountain.
As the girls ate they managed the impressive feat of talking and eating at the same time. Managing not to be rude or impolite. Kia wondered how they did it. Guess what they talked about? You guessed it other people.
Kia felt like she would've exploded. Thankfully Jake came to the rescue again. He noticed that everyone was done and suggested they open presents.
Kia silently thanked Jake and followed the masses to the living room.
She immediately walked towards the biggest one but Jake stopped her. "You have to save that one for last," he explained.
Kia turned around to have a ton of presents shoved in her face.
She carefully opened each one and thanked each person and carefully placed each one in a pile. Then there was no more presents except the large one, from Jake.
The pile was full of make up, hair stuff, and CDs. Not to mention all the clothes.
Kia walked to the box as if hypnotized by it's mystery. She pulled a tag that said pull me and the box opened.
Kurama heard the girl, Kia was her name right?, walked over to his box. Then she opened it to reveal him.
Kia was shocked to see a boy with long red hair and green eyes in the box. he figured her brother had bought her a slave. One look in his eyes revealed that he had lost all hope of being happy.
"Th...Thanks Jake," she stammered.
"His name's Kurama, he's a kitsune," Jake explained.
"Okay, Kurama come with me. I'll show you where you'll be staying," she gestured for Kurama to follow her.
Kia was a lot more shocked that she let on but she didn't want to hurt Jake's feelings. And it would be nice to have someone around all the time. But, he was forced to stay. She couldn't free him. He'd either starve or be beaten in a few days.
Kia selected the room her brother had just fixed up for Kurama to sleep in. She assumed that he had been preparing it for him.
"Here's your room," she said pushing the door adjacent to hers open. "Jake just fixed it up," she stated, entering the room.
There was a bed, nightstand, lamp, fan, and computer in the room. Kurama was shocked. No one had ever given him such a nice room. "I get this whole room?" he asked, but quickly placed a hand over his mouth remembering that he was only allowed to speak when spoken to. She would probably beat him now he thought miserably.
"Yes, where else would you sleep? You can talk when ever you want to ya know. And actually make eye contact, don't stare at your feet. You can watch T.V. use the computer, anything you want," she said.
Kurama was even more shocked. As far as he knew no slave had ever really been treated like a real person before. Yet, this girl was treating him like an equal even though he was a slave. A piece of merchandise.
"Thank you, master," Kurama said.
"Call me Kia," she said, smiling. Obviously he had never been treated so nicely before. She would be the first.
"Thanks Kia," Kurama stated.
"You're welcome," Kia said, still smiling. "Well, let's go," she said.
"Huh?" Kurama asked, confused.
"The party's still going on. Unfortunately we're stuck with the snobs from down the lane," Kia replied.
"Okay," he said, following Kia back down to the party. He ignored the looks all the other girls gave him.
Night fell soon after and the girls all went into Kia's room. The real sleepover would begin now.
Both Jake and Kurama went to their rooms and went to bed.
The girls, however decided to play truth or dare.
"Kia, truth or dare?" a red head with no brains asked.
"Truth," Kia said. She always said truth.
"Drat, well how far have you gone with a boy?" the girl asked. Every girl asked that when truth was up. No one had any imagination.
"Pricking me with a pin in Home EC." Kia said. her long time crush Mike Curl thought it would be funny to poke Kia with a pin. Of course he liked some girl on his hockey team.
"Okay, wait does that count?" the girl asked confused.
"Yes it does," the leader of the snobs from down the lane said. All the girls agreed.
"Tanya truth or dare?" Kia asked a brunette across from her.
It continued for quite sometime until Kia could sneak out. She ran downstairs and saw someone sitting on the couch watching T.V. It was too dark to see who it was.
She tiptoed down the stairs and snuck up behind them. Kia then tapped them on the shoulder and ducked down so they wouldn't see them.
Then while they were turned around Kia ran and sat next to them startling them even more. She was surprised to see it was Kurama.
"Kia," Kurama said in surprise.
"Horror Movie of the night," Kia stated. "Watch one and you got to watch them all," she said smiling. "I'll go make some popcorn," she added and walked over to the kitchen.
Once again Kurama was surprised. Any one else would be furious at him. He didn't even know why he went down here to watch T.V. It was huge though he noted. I guessed all the freedom went to his head. But, she wasn't even mad at him.. In fact she was going to watch T.V. with him. He realized.
Kia was in the kitchen making popcorn. It was done in a few minutes and she walked over to the living room where Kurama was sitting watching the horror movie of the night, The bogeyman part 63. In this one the bogeyman escaped from the grave yet again and tries to kill Marina's granddaughter. It had awful special effects and was so fake it was funny.
Instead of screaming Kia and Kurama were laughing their heads off.
Jake went to see what all the commotion was downstairs. he saw Kia laughing with Kurama. He was amazed. Kurama was a good slave. But, here he was laughing at some old really bad horror movie. Kia's charismatic personality must've drawn the laughter out of Kurama. He smiled. It seems that buying Kurama was a good idea. Jake then, being tired went back to bed.
Before Kia could register what time it was she had fallen asleep. The catch: she was leaning on Kurama's shoulder. Wait, that's not all: Kurama had also fallen asleep and his head was on top of Kia's. Isn't that the sweetest picture?
