Not So Friendly Friendly Match

So Izzy's decided that everyone's going to go clubbing. Fast forward to everyone getting ready. Kano's in hers and Izzy's room, Izzy's in the bathroom. And here we go...


Chapter11-Our Secrets

Kano stood in front of the mirror in her and Izzy's room. The thick black eyeliner around her right eye made her twin scars stand out. Her dress, which Izzy had convinced her to wear, itched her arms; the net sleeves with their rose design irritated her skin. She pulled her left sleeve up to reveal scars and bruises, most from the abbey; old and unfading, but a few newer ones, only a few months old.

Kano ran her fingers along her arm. That was all behind her now that she'd met Izzy, but she couldn't resist the tears the memories brought. Small, blackened teardrops began to fall upon her pale arm and her body shook as she fell to her knees in front of the mirror.

"Kano?" Kano made no attempt to answer Izzy as she came out of the en-suite. "Kano, what's wrong?" Izzy walked across to Kano and knelt down next to her, hugging her with one arm.

"Oh, Iz." Kano leant her head against Izzy's shoulder.

"I don't fully understand this but everything will be okay…" Izzy sat for a while, letting Kano release her emotions, then twisted to face her. "We need to sort you're eyeliner out." Izzy jested managing to get a shaky laugh out of Kano.

"Thanks Iz. You always cheer me up when I'm down." Kano smiled weakly then stood up. Izzy also stood up; she grabbed Kano and sat her down on one of the beds.

"You're still shaking, let me do your eyeliner for you." Izzy disappeared into the bathroom then returned with eyeliner in hand. "Close your eyes." Izzy commanded.

Kano did as she was told and allowed Izzy to re-apply her eyeliner. Once Izzy was done she returned the make up to the bathroom and stood Kano in front of the mirror again.

"You look great K." Izzy said eyeing Kano in the mirror. She was wearing a plain, long, black dress with baggy, lace sleeves. She had removed her headband but kept her hair in its bindings. Izzy was wearing a purple dress onto which she had sewn spider web sleeves.

"Oh! This is for you!" Izzy reached into her bag, which was sat on her bed and pulled out a small box. She handed it to Kano who took it gratefully.

Opening the box Kano gasped when she saw its contents. A cross necklace, with a mesh tie, the cross was adorned with mother of pearl and Austrian crystal.

"Thanks Iz…but…I…uh, I don't have anything for you." Kano apologised.

"It's a present I never gave you two years ago…here let me put it on." Izzy took the necklace out of its box and tied it around Kano's neck.

"Thanks Iz.


"Drako, could I please borrow your dragon shirt please?" Blank begged.

"Trying to impress someone…Yeah." Drako jested weakly.

"You ok?" Blank asked finding the shirt he wanted and putting it on.

"I dunno I'll survive tonight though." Drako assured. "Let's go get K and Iz."

"Only if you say so." Blank frowned as Drako and he left the room. He was worried for his cousin's health. "Just make sure you don't drink too much, k?"

"Like I'm going to, I'm not Izzy." Drako laughed suddenly covering his pain up. He locked their hotel room door and turned to Blank. Blank smiled and led the way to Kano and Izzy's room just down the corridor.
