Yuan watched Kina sleep. She sat slumped over in a poufy armchair and her black hair fell in a mess all over his face. Yuan's eyes turned towards Reza, he was asleep too, drooling on a pillow and his tail twitching.

Yuan couldn't help but smile to himself. He sighed as he looked out the window. He wasn't sure if Kina was ready for this. Her power was strong but, so was Sakura's. Not to mention Li, Keroberos and Yue. Kina was the one chosen to take the Dark cards and control them. Sue Yung's book had immense power, but Yuan wasn't sure if it could meet up to the combined power of their opponent's. Kina was so sure of herself and Reza wasn't the brightest bulb in the box but they had power. Yuan wasn't sure who he thought was better, Reza or Kina.

Reza woke up and opened one eye. He watched Yuan and said. "You should sleep."

Yuan turned his head. "I don't need sleep, you know that Reza. But apparently you do, even though you don't have to."

Reza glared at Yuan. "I will have important business to do tomorrow. I must rest."

Yuan sighed and shook his head.

Reza looked at Kina. "But, I am slightly worried. What if they do find out about her?" he said. "which I doubt, because it was a really powerful spell I used, but still......" his voice trailed off as he looked at Yuan. "What are you planning on doing?"

"As you know, I too have a human identity." Yuan said. "I am going to act as her big brother in college, who is also her guardian -- seeing how I actually am.-- We have our story all planned out." He continued. "Kina's parents died when she was young in an earthquake and we were sent to live with our uncle in Hong Kong, now that I'm old enough to be her legal guardian, we moved to a quieter place and are living in a house near the edge of town."

Reza nodded. "Hm..... it's amazing how much of that is real."

Yuan shrugged. "It's good enough."

Reza looked at Yuan. "Well, let's see your 'human', Yuan."

Yuan nodded and folded his bat wings around himself. He emerged a second later, he had short black hair, purple eyes and wore a long-sleeved white shirt and black leather pants. "There. my name will be Reo."

"Reo, nice name." Reza said and yawned. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I would like to get back to sleep." He yawned again and tucked his tail around him.

Yuan smiled and sat leaning against the wall, waiting for morning to come.

Sakura was getting a ride to school with Madison.

"Have you told Yue about your dream yet?" Madison asked as they turned into the parking lot.

Sakura shook her head. "No, Julian and Tory are going to pick me up after school today, Tory knows my secret too now so I'll tell them in the car."

"Oh." Madison said.

Suddenly Li's green Mazda pulled in beside them.

Sakura blushed when she saw it and him.

Li got out and said. "Hello."

Madison replied, "Hi Li."

Sakura waved.

They were sitting at their desks, waiting for their teacher. Sakura was playing chess with Zachary, who kept making comments on the history of chess, it was getting very annoying. She sighed and moved her pawn.

Just then their teacher walked in. She smiled at them as everyone scrambled back to their proper seats.

When they were settled down their teacher said. "Okay class, today we are very fortunate to have a new student in our class today. She's from Hong Kong, so give her a nice warm welcome to Reedington High School."

Sakura whispered to Li, "She's from your hometown."

"Yeah." Li whispered back. "And where we met Sue Yung." He and Sakura looked at the door as the girl walked in.

Kina walked in, her long black hair tied up into two pig tails, wrapped nearly all of the way down. (A bit like Ray's ponytail from BB). Her long nails were painted a nice light purple and her eyes were a cold blue. She had gotten a school uniform and was wearing black pumps. She took a quick glance at Sakura and Li before stopping at the teacher's desk.

The teacher motioned to Kina. "This is Kina."

Everyone said "Hi."

Kina bowed to them. "It's a extreme pleasure." She looked around, taking everything in. Li stared at her, Sakura didn't seem to suspicious, Kina noted.

The teacher pointed to a desk in the back corner. Two rows across from Li.

'She doesn't seem to have any magical powers.' Li thought. 'I think she's okay.'

Kina sensed his thoughts and smiled to herself. 'What a fool you are.'

Kina sat in a tall tree eating her lunch. She let Reza out of her bag and gave him a rice cake.

"Ah-mumf." Reza said, biting into the cake. "Mmm. Could use a little soya sauce though." he said.

Kina smiled. "Sorry, I'll bring some tomorrow." She took out her cold rice and began to eat.

Reza swallowed and said. "Well, do you think anyone is suspicious of you, personally I think my plan was fool proof."

Kina nodded. "Yes, I sensed LI's thoughts. He was worried at first but when he couldn't feel any power he dismissed me from his mind."

"Good." Reza replied. He rummaged around in her lunch, finding some cold chicken before continuing. "Our cover is working then."

Kina nodded again, watching Reza taking huge bites out of his snack. "It was a great idea."

Reza smiled. "Well, it did come from my genius mind."

Madison, Li and Sakura were walking under the tree. They looked up.

"Hey! Kina!" Sakura called, waving.

Kina jumped as Reza dived back into her bag. She smiled and waved at them, sliding down the tree, her bag in hand.

"Who were you talking to?" Li asked.

"Oh!" Kina exclaimed. She couldn't tell them the truth, that would really give her away. "I was just talking to my big brother on the phone, he's going to pick me up after school." Kina sighed, that was a pretty fast reply but a fairly good cover up. she just hoped it would work.

"You have a big brother too?" Sakura asked. "Me too. How old is he?"

"He's in his first year of college." Kina replied.

"Mine too." Sakura said.

Madison said, "Do you like it here?"

"Oh, yes." Kina said, "It's so much more peaceful than Hong Kong, though I miss Bird Street."

"We've all been to Hong Kong then." Sakura said. "Li was born in Hong Kong."

"Really?" Kina said. "Do you miss it?"

Li shoved his hands in his pockets. "I guess so."

Suddenly the bell rang, they ran to the school to start class.

Kina stood waiting at the end of the school's drive way. She watched as Sakura waved good bye to her friends and saw her brother pulling up. He stopped his car and Julian climbed out. He was taking Sakura's back pack for her when he jumped. Julian looked at Kina and then shrugged. He put Sakura's bag in the trunk and was just about to get in.

Then, Yuan - right now Reo - pulled up in front of their car. He got out and said. "Hurry up, Kina."

Julian's eyes narrowed as he looked at Reo. At first he though something was up with that girl, now he definitely sensed something. 'Darkness.' he thought.

Reo made no eyes contact with Julian as he got back into his car, even though he knew he was there.

Julian was almost in a trance as they drove away.

Reo looked at Kina. "Well, I think I just blew my cover."

Kina looked up at him. "Why?"

"I felt Yue's power in Julian. He knows we're here."
