block! *stabs at things with an imaginary sword* Don't mind me, I'm hyper
off wheat thins. Wheeee!!

"Silencing spell? Oh, I completely forgot," Numair said. He waved his hand, and Kiko started barking almost immediately.
"Could you please quiet your dog down?" Numair yelled to be heard above all the noise.
"Quiet him down?!" Asked Kiara, outraged, "I should be making as much noise as Kiko, if not more! What with you magicking my kanipier like you did."
"Your what?"
Kiara sighed, clearly annoyed. "My kanipier. He's like. . ." She trailed off for a moment, trying to think of a way to put this. She'd never been asked to define "kanipier" before. Amerilla, the only one--besides Kiko-- that mattered to her, knew what it was.
Finally, she continued, "You know how some people are soul mates? Well, we're like that to each other, only our bond is a hundred times stronger."
Just then, Kiara noticed Daine, who was waving her arms around frantically, trying to get somebody's attention.
"I wonder what she's doing," Kiara softly commented to Kiko.
*It might have something to do with a certain girl's silencing spell* was the reply.
"Silencing spell? Oh, I completely forgot," Kiara mimicked with a devilish grin before releasing Daine from the spell.
*That was rather cruel* Kiko remarked.
"Yes, but they had it coming, well, Numair did. And Numair, before you ask, Yes, I'm talking to a dog. Yes, he understands me. And no, I don't have wild magic," Kiara finished smugly.
While Numair was still standing there, dumb-struck, Daine asked, "So what's your name?"
A huge grin spread over Kiara's face. "Finally, after all this interrogation, someone has the polite common sense to ask me my name!" She said dramatically. "It's Kiara, and this is my kanipier, Kiko." As and afterthought, she added, "No hard feelings, right, Daine?"
"No, I guess not," was the reply.
Then Numair asked, "Are you some kind of mind-reader?" "No, Kiara said, " You're just boringly predictable. And next time, do everyone a favor by being more careful who you magic."
And with that, she walked happily the other direction--pleased that she had gotten the last word--with Kiko at her heels.
Numair stood there staring for awhile, until Daine pulled him the other direction. He had a feeling that he and that girl--Kiara, she had said her name was--wouldn't get along very well.

A/N: This is *not* the end! Don't worry, there's going to be more of a plot soon. And I got the idea for the kanipier from the spirit-links in "Spirit Fox" by Mickey Zucker Reichert and Jennifer Wingert.
