A/N: Dedicated to my two favorite reviewers, Jen-chan and SilentWriter. I hope you guys are enjoying the rewrite.

------------

Jina awoke feeling quite rested, despite the events of the previous night. She glanced at her clock and realized two things: She was late for work….and she was supposed to meet Schuldig. She dressed quickly and bolted downstairs, not even pausing to grab a bite to eat.

She had just entered the flower shop when Aya threw her an apron. "You're late…that means you have to close up tonight…alone."

'Just great!' She thought with a sigh. Suddenly an idea formed. She walked slowly towards Aya, preparing her best puppy eyes. "Ne, Aya-san…about that. I've noticed you guys each get one day off a week…where as I have been working here for a month, and I still haven't gotten one."

"Let me get this straight…you sleep until noon…then want the rest of the day off so you can laze around more?" Aya asked, one eyebrow raised.

"First of all, it's barely 10:00 am." Jina retorted. "Secondly…I wouldn't 'laze around' all day…I've got very important plans!"

Aya's eyebrow remained raised. "Those plans would be?"

Jina paused. She just had to mention those blasted plans, didn't she? "I…I have a date, thank you very much!" She said, crossing her arms.

Nearby, Youji dropped a potted plant he'd been holding. "You…you…you what?"

"I have a date…" She repeated, now wishing she'd thought of another excuse. 'I should've gone with a doctor's appointment…or feminine problems…guys never stay on that subject long.'

"Who's the guy? Do I know him?" Youji asked still mildly in shock. He didn't notice the glare Aya was giving him concerning the plant.

Jina gave a nervous laugh. "You…might have met him before…" She turned back to Aya. "Please Aya-san…? I'll…" She trailed off, trying to think of a good bribe. "I'll work the shop all by myself tomorrow."

'How hard could it be?' She pondered silently. 'Mondays are usually slow anyway…'

"Have fun." Aya smirked.

'Something about that smirk scares me…' She thought, but said nothing. "Thanks a ton! See you guys later!"

With that, she tossed her apron into the back room and bolted out the front door. Youji began to follow.

"Stop right there, Kudou…she's got the day off…not you." Aya replied before he resumed glaring at the drooling fangirls.

------------

Jina looked around nervously. She wished Schuldig had chosen a more private place to meet, but she knew why he chose the park.

'Hurry up, Schu-kun...' she thought. 'I'd like to go eat lunch soon…I missed breakfast…"

Just then, she felt something hit the back of the bench she was sitting in.

"Sorry miss…" A voice said. She turned to look at the person, and was surprised to see Ken. "Oh, Jina, it's you. What are you doing here?"

"I was waiting on someone…but I don't think they're coming." She explained. "What are you doing…and what hit me?"

Ken gave a small laugh and held up a soccer ball. "I've been trying to teach some of the local kids to play…and sometimes their aim is a little off."

She smiled. "Soccer, huh?" she then paused, slapping her forehead. "I can't believe I just now figured it out.…"

Ken looked a little confused. "What?"

"You used to play soccer…that's where you looked familiar." She explained. "I used to watch J-League games on TV…I never got to learn how to play, but I always used to love watching."

"Ken-nii-chan…" Once small boy whined.

"Sounds like you'd better go." Jina said, motioning to the group of children glaring at her for distracting their coach.

"You want to join?" He offered. "Maybe I could help you learn."

"Sure…" She said, before spotting something out of the corner of her eye. "But I can't today…maybe some other time?"

"Great! See you later!" He said before running back towards the children.

Jina turned and started towards a tree, behind which a familiar shade of orange hair was visible.

"You're late!" She said as she neared the tree. "Do you know how long I've been waiting here?"

"Sorry you had to wait, Kitten…but I assure you I arrived exactly when I intended to."

The person turned around and Jina was shocked to see that it was a woman with the same hair and eye color as Schuldig.

"Who…who are you?" She asked surprised.

"My name is Kätzchen, but you can call me Sora." The woman replied. "My brother sent me to…keep an eye on you."

"Keep an eye on me…but why?"

"Simple…last night you came very close to telling Siberian everything. Perhaps if I stay with you, these little…slip-ups…will be less likely to occur."

"And how exactly am I supposed to explain you to the guys? In case you haven't noticed, you and Schu-kun look an awful lot alike…" Jina replied. "What will keep them from suspecting something?"

"You just leave that to me, Kitten." Sora replied with a smile. She picked up a bag and motioned for Jina to lead the way.

Jina sighed and reluctantly headed for the park exit.

"Leaving already?" Ken asked, jogging up. He then spotted Sora. "Who's your friend?"

'Not much of a friend.' Jina thought.

'I heard that, Kitten.' Sora replied.

"I'm Sora Sakamoto, Jina's editor." Sora said, shaking Ken's hand.

"Ken Hidaka, it's very nice to meet you. What brings you here?"

"I was afraid she might be slacking with her work, so I decided to come check up on her. That is alright, isn't it?"

Ken gave a nervous laugh. "Of course it is."

"Well…we'd better be going." Jina said, trying to end this conversation as quickly as possible. "We'll see you later, ja Ken-kun."

"Ja, Jina-chan, ja, Sora-san."

------------

Jina and Sora had just entered the shop when the others approached.

"How'd the date go?" Omi asked with a smile.

'Date?' Sora asked, sounding amused. 'I suppose I'll have to tell my brother not to stand you up again.'

'Oh shut up.' Jina grumbled mentally. 'It was the first thing I could think of this morning.' She then returned Omi's smile. "He didn't show. It's just as well…shortly after I left, I got a call to meet Sora-chan."

"Who is she?" Aya asked Jina, jabbing his thumb in Sora's direction.

"Me editor from Okinawa, Sora Sakamoto." Jina replied. "Sora, meet Aya Fujimiya, Omi Tsukiyono, and Youji Kudou."

"You must be the one Ajinako came to visit." Sora said, extending a hand to Youji. "I've heard a lot about you."

Only believe the good stuff." He replied, his patented playboy grin plastered on his face.

"Well, Sakamoto-san, it is getting late. Do you need a ride to your hotel?" Aya asked. It was obvious what he meant.

"Hotel?" Sora replied. "I was hoping I could stay here…to make sure Jina does what she is supposed to."

Jina gave a small laugh. "There is that extra bed in my room…so I figured there wouldn't be a problem."

The three exchanged looks.

"There's a problem, isn't there?" Jina asked, disappointment in her voice.

"Of course not." Youji replied after a nervous pause. "Any friend of yours is a friend of ours."

"Thanks guys!" Jina smiled before motioning for Sora to follow her upstairs.

'Good show, Kitten.' Sora's voice rang through her head as they left the others.

'Thanks…I was in the drama club in high school.' She still despised herself for lying to everyone…but she honestly saw no other way out.

Entering the guest room, they saw all four cats curled up on Jina's bed.

"Isn't that cute." Sora said with a smirk. "The Kittens have kittens…"

------------

Later on, as Sora was unpacking her things, Jina could no longer contain her curiosity.

"Ok…why didn't they freak out when they saw you?"

"Kitten, come look in the mirror with me." Sora replied, standing in front of a mirror on the wall.

Jina did, and was surprised to see that Sora's reflection showed a woman with long blonde hair and green eyes.

"How…?"

"It's one of my powers." Sora explained. "Besides telepathy, I have the power to alter how people perceive my appearance."

"So why do you look the same to me?"

"Because I want to look the same to you."

Jina sighed. Things were beginning to seem like they'd never get any easier in her life.

"If you don't mind, I need to finalize some sketches. If I don't get them done, my real editor will be hounding me."

"Have fun, Kitten."

------------

Jina could tell from the noises downstairs that the guys were closing up shop for the day. She glanced up in time to see Omi walking by.

"Hey, Omi-kun, come here a second." She called. "I want to show you something."

He walked up and she held out a small stack of papers to him.

"What are these, Jina-chan?" He asked, examining the sketches and notes.

"I know I gave you a little bit of a hard time when I first got here…these are sketches for the next volume." She explained with a smile. "You should feel honored…you're the first person to see them…except for me, that is."

"Who is this?" He asked, pointing to a character he didn't recognize.

"Oh, I'm introducing her in volume 6." Jina replied. "She's sort of a camp follower for team Hikari."

"Can't you tell me anything else?"

"Nope…you'll have to wait and see." Jina said with a smile.

"Alright…I'll wait." Omi sighed, handing back the papers.

About this time, Aya came through.

"Don't forget, you're working the shop alone tomorrow." He said, not even slowing on his way to his room. "I suggest you get some rest. Come on Omi, let her work in peace."

Jina shook her head. 'How hard does he think this will be for me?' She wondered before going back to work.

------------

OOC: Well…I hope that wasn't too confusing. If there was something you didn't get, please ask. As of late, I've been so busy just trying to get my ideas down I'm not even sure if they make sense to anyone besides me.

And to clarify why I chose the German word 'Fremdgehen' for the new title, it means to be unfaithful, or to two-time someone. I thought it described Jina's situation quite well. I also decided to go with German titles and English subtitles for each chapter, sorta like how the show does for each episode. Let me know if you like this approach. If not, then I will happily change it.
