Dumbledore stared over at the playpen. The two children play peacefully, yet one of them has a burden. He isn't sure which one it is, but feels they both will suffer. But, they were also strong. Moody had gone to moving his eye around, looking for something in the house.

"Kira is not here" James glared.

"Where is s-...I'm not looking for her" Moody stated quickly.

"Good save" Sirius snickered.

"Then stay out of my underwear drawer" Lily whispered, making Sirius have to excuse himself from the table and laugh into a pillow before returning. He was in a particularly happy mood whenever he was around James and Lily. That and eating a bag of Halloween candy wasn't helping matters much.

"I'm not!" Moody growled.

"Then why don't you just ask and we will help you with whatever you want to see" James stated, pleasantly.

Moody grumbled something and started up a conversation with Alice. Remus, Sirius, Peter, and James never stopped glaring at Moody. That was untill-

"Mommy, Daddy! Were back" In sprang Kira.

"No we're not, stopping telling them lies", Derek laughed as Cota and him tried to haul the bag through the door with out anything spilling.

Kira ignored him and skipped into the living room. "Hello Lion"

"Kra!" Harry greeted as Kira handed him a stuffed snowy owl they had gotten on the way out. Normally Lily did not like Kira and Harry being brought too many presents, for fear of spoiling them. However, with what Kira had been through she felt that little girl deserved the world. She deserved the brightest star in heaven for having to be born to such pain as she had endured. She deserved a puppy for every horrific memory of the place. James and Lily had spent hours discussing what they could do to make up for what Takai had done to her. However, what do you give a little girl that will make her happy enough to make up for something like Eden and Takai? They loved her more then anyone ever though possible, but still felt she needed something so wonderful if would help her forget Eden.

James and Remus were up from the table as if a mandrake had just opened its mouth and they didn't have earmuffs. Moody started up, but Lily's smiling face turned into a snarl and he sat back down, the smile returned.

"Daddy, the store was huge!" Kira stated, spreading her arms out.

"Really? How big was it?" James asked, kneeling infront of her.

"It...It was huge," Kira stated in a matter of fact tone.

James smiled and turned to the owl that Harry was holding. "What? I told you no pets" James shook his head. Kira laughed and Derek and Cota finally managed to pull the bag through the door. Cota landed face down on the floor, Derek landed on Cota, the bag landed on Derek.

"Ouch"

"Geroff"

"Ouch"

"Derek, you're crushing me! Get up!"

James glanced over and decided to excuse his squire for not saluting and addressing him upon entering the room. Remus shook his head and grabbed the bag. Cota pulled himself out from under Derek and stood up. "Giant store, giant bags... maybe they should rethink that," Cota stated, saluting. "And how has your day gone, my Lord?"

"Fine" James answered as Cota pulled Derek off the floor. "Not much news lately" James' head was swimming with ideas about why there had been no news. Voldemort had been attacking them non-stop, and then he just... stopped. He left them alone completely. Lily's concern was if he had learned that his weapon was not there anymore. James knew she, like himself, secretly hoped that Voldemort killed Takai... or they both killed each other. (Mike: Don't, that would be TOO much of a plot twist) James could only hope. The meeting fizzled down and everyone relaxed and watched the sunset. James spotted Moody trying repetitively to catch a glimpse of Kira's arm. So, he decided to talk to him, in the basement. Marauder style.

"What?" Moody grumbled, wondering why he had been asked to James' 'office.'

James sighed. "Moody, you're an important member of this Order, a good friend, and a very talented wizard. However I think your priorities and a little confused" James stated, marveling at how good that sounded when really he was saying, I like you but you sicken me.

Moody grunted in response to that and both eyes focused on James. Now, James was not exactly sure it that was a good thing or a bad thing, but he had to make his point.

"In your own words, what is Kira?" James asked, getting straight to the point. He went from nice, to the point, in only a matter of seconds, a new record.

Moody stared at him. "She is Voldemort's weapon" James was silent as Moody continued. "If you hadn't gotten attached to her and we had gotten her we could have studied her to find out why he wanted such a weapon, and how to defeat it"

James waited, making sure Moody had finished. Then, in a clear, determined voice, he said' "You have a magical eye. So if you were a child with that eye, would you want people studying you? She has been through enough, Moody. Enough. I'm not going to let anyone hurt her, not as long as I'm still here to stop it."

"But-,"

"But what? You want to know how to defeat her? She is a little girl! Same as any other" James bellowed.

"...That thing on her arm isn't normal-"

"Do not tell me you are afraid. Tell me, are you afraid of a watch? That device is, in my opinion, a watch; it may tick, but it's not going to explode"

"... It ticks?"

James nearly fell over with that one. Somehow he managed to stay on his feet and give Moody an 'are you serious' look. "No, It doesn't tick!" James took a breath. "Kira! Can you come down here a second?" He pulled over a stool as Kira bounded down the stairs. By the way, marauder style is face to face, wands kept in the ready, friends waiting as back up... in other words, fair, but not stupid... and ready to pummel the other person if need be, threatening is also legal.

"Hello, Daddy" She smiled as James lifted her up and put her on the stool.

"Hey ya kiddo, this will only take a second. Can I see your left arm?" James requested in as kind and light a voice he could. Kira held out her arm after pausing for a few moments as she tried to remember which one was the left one. James signaled Moody to come over, which he did. "Okay now Kira. Do you know what this is for?" James asked, pointing to the tinny screen.

Kira nodded, hesitated, nodded again more energetically. "Mast-" She shook her head. "Takai told me that it was a screen" She smiled proudly for remembering.

"A screen, huh?" James smiled back at her. "Do you know what type...what does it do?" James asked.

"Uh..." Kira looked to the side and bit her lip as she tried to remember. "He said... Um... He told me that..."

"Is it like that map I saw... I mean can you control what it shows?" James prompted.

"Yeah!" Kira nodded. "You can put a tinny, circular... thing, in here" She pressed a small button near the front and a thin strip of metal slid around, leaving place for a small disk. "Then you can save it onto the A.R.M" (Automatic. Ram. Mechanics. For lack of a better name)

"That's cool; Anything else?" James asked turning her arm slightly as he examined the metal device.

"Um... I don't know. No name did everything. She kept a razor in here" Kira pointed to the very front and pressed a button. Another, this time smaller, opening apeared and a candy fell out. "But Irving gave me stuff like that to put in it" She stated, somewhat sadly.

"Ah hu. Some weapon" James stated, holding up the candy.

"Mommy was right!" Kira stared in amazement.

"No, no... err... well. Candy isn't a weapon, unless you're extremely skilled or hyperactive... or your mother sees you eating it...or if Harry eats it this year" James smiled, returning the candy to it's place and watching the opening close leaving no trace that it existed. "Well, is there anything else it does?"

"Um... nope" Kira said, signaling that was all she knew that it could do. Moody's eye scanned the A.R.M over and over again, but he couldn't see the inside or how it was made. However, nothing registered as dangerous, so he grunted and backed off.

"Okay kiddo, thanks" James set her back on the ground. "You can go"

Kira nodded and skipped up the stairs. James turned to Moody. "Some weapon, huh?"

"...Doesn't mean she herself is not-"

"Give me a break! She's a little girl" James sighed.

"What happens next month when Lily goes back to work? She has to take that business trip and she can't take the kids with her. And you can't bee here round the clock, neither can Cota" Moody grumbled.

"I'm completely aware of that. And I have three friends willing to come by the house, and even willing to stay here while Lily is away, we do have a perfectly nice guest room" James retaliated.

"Hmph" Moody hmphed. (Loss of words... I'm only 16, leave me alone unless you have a longer story them mine and don't want to say 'said' all the time.)

"Come on Mad-eye. We never fought before on matters like this. We are all on the same team here, and I wanted to be able to call upon the Order if Kira had a problem. And I hoped that I would receive help, but right now the last thing I'd do is call for your help" James stated. Moody stared at him for a while, then noticeably softened.

"I gotta hand it to ya Potter. Alright, I'll leave 'er be" He shook his head and laugh/grunted, "Debate was always yer strong point. But I'd be careful, rumor is that Voldemort is trying his luck with that lab, seeing if that can make him a little daughter. They want your girl to be that daughter, and if you don't let them have her, they'll find another way. But they won't give up untill they know they can't win"

"What are you saying?"

"I'm jus sayin that thy might be building another..."

"ANGEL"

"Yeh, there buildin him one. If you get to attached ta Kira how do we know you'd be able to kill Voldemort's girl?"

"Kira is not evil-"

"I'm not sayin that! I'm sayin that this new one might not be able to be saved"

"The report Remus grabbed said that they couldn't make another ANGEL. If they did manage to take enough blood from her, they couldn't mix it. If they did then Kira would always be stronger then that ANGEL. They aren't going to build something if they know someone on our side can kill it"

"...I remember the stories about the Volucris. They powerful enough with out wizard blood. I think they know it could get too powerful for them so they'd want someone on our side to be able to kill it"

"But then what would stop Kira from killing them? If she can kill their weapon"

"They'll want to kill her first, they want someone to be able to kill it, yet not something stronger then it. Something they themselves can kill"

"...What are you basically trying to say?"

"She's got your blood, you got power over her. They want you to be able to kill the other one"

"I'd never do it. If they can't control the poor soul they create then they deserve to be killed by it"

"They not gonna let this new one be taken. By the time we see her she'll be too gone to save, James. They're gonna do whatever it takes to make sure it turns out the way they want. And ya never know what they did to Kira, but something is awakening in her, I can feel it"

"Then let us all stand by her. She'll grow up and, with our help, be perfectly fine. We just need to protect her, that is our mission anyway, protect innocents, right?"

"...Well, lets just hope we can" Moody grunted, not liking the idea of letting a big risk live; But trusting James at the same time.
