As I walked to school, all I could think about was the argument my Father and I had last night, that's all I could think about night and day, that's the one and only thing that could ever even enter my mind and I couldn't stand it. What was wrong with me? I couldn't stand one little argument with Pop? I can't be such a whimp, especially in my position, the spirit of light, I have to become stronger…but how….?

"Hey Koji." Kai smiled and waved, she was leaning against a nearby tree, reading a book.

"Um…hey…." I looked up at her. She was beautiful, extremely intelligent and I loved her for who she was…. Did I just think that?...Had it occurred to me that I had never used the name and word 'Kai' and 'love' in the same sentence….? If I couldn't even think it…how was I supposed to tell her? I blushed and Kai raised an eyebrow and put down her book.

"So? What happened, you usually come earlier…or at least with the person you live with (Koichi)."

"Um…nothing…just slept in." I answered.

"Yeah, sure."

"Where are the rest of the guys?"

"Well Chizuko's in the bathroom helping Zoe with a bad hair day, Takuya, JP, Tommy and Koichi are over there playing soccer." She looked around the tree and sure enough, across the field in front of the school, in the soccer field were 4 small dots which I could recognize to be Takuya, JP, Koichi and Tommy playing soccer. Of course, Takuya and Tommy were winning.

I sat down on the grass and put my bag down next to me, my head faced the ripe green leaves and the sunlight shining through them. I closed my eyes for a few seconds them I heard Kai sigh and nudge against my arm, I could feel Kai sitting down next to me.

"Look, you don't have to tell me what happened, but you can't keep it in forever." She told me, Kai always had that knowledge of when someone was going through something or felt some kind of emotion, we think it's part of her psychic ability and she thinks it's out of pure instinct, which could also be true because Chizuko and Zoe had the same knowledge, so it could be a girl thing, but then again Kai's knowledge was stronger and more accurate.

"I know." I murmured.

Kai leaned on my shoulder for a second when she reached over for her book on the other side of me, I wanted to be closer to her, and I was so tired, I leaned on her head, which gave us both a pillow, as soon as I realized what I was doing, I opened my eyes and immediately lifted my head.

She blushed and pretended she was reading.

"Um…sorry…." I blushed, I could've swore my face was magenta.

We sat there in silence, I just blushed and looked the other way, avoiding any eye contact with her, I wasn't sure what to do. Just leaving would be rude, I didn't have anywhere to go anyway…and facing her would make things so awkward…but someone had to break the ice…or this would go on forever.

"It happens to everyone Koji, but really, that's the past…." I looked at her and found a smile on her face. I loved Kai's smile, she didn't smile much…or more than others would and the way she did it…it was never a huge, across-the-face grin, just a small smile, her pink lips stretched a little and sometimes it was big enough to show her almost-white teeth. I smiled back.

"Hey guys!" Takuya yelled, waving with one hand, the other occupied with a dirty soccerball, he was panting with his free hand on his knee by the time he reached us. "Whoo! What a great game. I love soccer!"

"Only because you guys always win…." JP muttered.

"It's ok JP, it's only a game." Tommy comforted him.

"Yeah, well, it'd be nice to win once in a while…."

"I know how you feel buddy." Takuya with his wide grin patted JP on the back.

"Oh be quiet." JP crossed his arms, Tommy and Takuya laughed and patted his back.

"C'mon, one more game before school starts?" Takuya offered.

"You're on!" JP finally uncrossed his arms and part-smiled.

They were half way across the field when they noticed Koichi hadn't followed them.

"Hey! Koichi, buddy! You coming?" Takuya yelled.

"Nah, I'm pretty tired, I think I'll just rest here!" Koichi hoarsely yelled back.

"Hey Koichi…what's up? You two have some kind of tragedy at home or something? You both seem out of the happy bin…."

"Uh…Kai, I need to talk to you…alone…." He glanced at me before I picked up my bag and left. Usually Koichi came to me before he went to Kai for advice…was he hiding something from me? It seems like everyone has some kind of secret these days….

(Kai)

"So? What is it?" I urged Koichi to open his mouth.

"Well…." He swallowed.

"Don't swallow! You're supposed to let the words out, not force them back in!"

"Koichi!"

"Alright! Dad told me we're gonna move to Canada!"

"WHAT!" I exclaimed and looked wide-eyed at him. Maybe I wasn't hearing him right? He was able to say so quickly it was less than a breath! "Koichi,…!"

"I know he switched jobs but this one seems to have the moving requirement as well…." Koichi said things more slowly this time.

"We can't tell Koji."

"What?" Koichi seemed confused.

"We can't tell Koji." I repeated.

"Why not? He'll have to find out eventually."

"Not if we can stop it."

"What! No! No more crazy plans…." Koichi shook his head wildly and his hands indicated he was pushing something back , rejecting any ideas.

"Koichi, I know you don't want to move probably as much as Koji doesn't, so why are you holding back! I know my plans are crazy, sometimes risky and totally sneaky and secretive, but you know they always work!"

Koichi opened his mouth and was about to say something to argue with me but he knew I always won and he knew as well that I was absolutely right! "Al…alright…." Koichi sighed. "So? What's your plan?" He should've known better than to ask, he knew what I'd say.

"I need to think it over first, this ones gonna be good. I'll have it by the end of the day, but I won't have the full plan, just the basics."

"Of course."

"Hey, you were the one who asked!" I pointed out.

"Right. So how am I supposed to keep it a secret from Chizuko?" That was a good question, Koichi was bad at keeping secrets and Chizuko was bad at shutting her mouth

"Just avoid her at all costs until I come up with something more."

"Right. I promise I won't tell Chizuko, you won't we disappointed…."

"I broke my promise and I'm sorry I told Chizuko…." You don't need to be a psychic to figure he's let that out."

"It's ok. I knew you'd tell her so I made a position for her in our plans, it turns out she can be quite useful."

"Really! Cool we're like secret agents! I mean, I'm sure you guys have already done stuff way more exciting than this and the adrenaline level must have been way high, but I am like, sooooo new to this…oh, this is so cool, I bet the plan is really elaborate, it's just like you to make things more complicated than already needed, but I gues that's what a thinker does- did I tell you about the time—"

"Chizuko!" I exclaimed and rolled my eyes.

"Right, sorry, shutting mouth now, ok, go boss, let out that great and sneaky secret agent plan!"

I scanned their eyes to see if I had their attention. They both looked at me intently. "Before we do anything, we need to do research, and man Koichi are you going to hate this…."
