Last time on Nothing's Better Than Two:

"Wait, so your telling me that someone in our school hates us so much that they put a BOMB in our house!" Mirage looked like they were crazy.

"That's exactly what we're saying, glad you got it after the 3rd try." Kai smirked a little at Mirage who glared in return.

"Why would anyone hate us? How did you guys KNOW that someone put a bomb in our house in th efirst place!" Mirror glared at the boys.

Tala and Kai visably whinced. They were hoping that they weren't going to see their little flaw. They both looked at each other and nodded a little. "Well..."

Chapter 8

Kai and Tala sighed as the girl's registered what they had just said. The first one to speak was Mirror who was always quick on her feet and could figure things out in a blink of an eye. "So your saying that we died once before?" A quick nod from them made her continue. "And that we were all reincarnated to this day and age?" Another quick nod. "And before that we were living in the feudal times?" Another nod from the boys. "Well fuck... high school isn't what it used to be now is it?" she smiled a little.

"But how did you guys know?" Mirage looked at Tala and Kai.

"Well there's another thing to that... you see because we were reincarnated I'm guessing we all gained some sort of power because well we all have a little bit of it. I guess it's to make sure that we kill whoever killed us." Tala replied.

"Powers?" Mirror looked at him slightly in admiration.

"I have the power of fire." Kai spoke up. "That's how I was able to heal your sister so fast."

"And I have the power of water. You know steam, ice, sleet, rain, and more!" Tala grinned.

"You sound like a comercial." Mirage deadpanned.

"Yeah well I learn from the best." Tala smirked at her. "Anyway Mirror you have the power of light, why? I have no idea." Tala earned himself a slap. "What'd I say?" he rubbed his arm. Mirror huffed and sat back down.

"What about me?" Mirage looked at them curiously.

"Uh...hehe..." Tala rubbed the back of his head. "Why don't you tell her Kai?"

Kai sighed heavily and looked up at her so that she melted once again in the dark wine like crimson liquid that was his eyes. "You have the power of darkness."

"Darkness? Why would I have the power of darkness?" Mirage looked at both boys like the were crazy. "I mean look at me! Is this the face of a girl who has super powers of darkness?" she gave out her adorable puppy dog pout.

Kai shook his head in amusement. "Sorry to break it to you but you do have powers and they are over darkness. Otherwise I wouldn't be here talking to you about this now would I?"

Mirage put on a thoughtful look. 'Well... he does always seem like the serious type... damnit! I hate it when I loose!' A poutful look crossed her features and she stuck her tongue out at Kai as if saying 'I hate you!' Kai however smirked slightly and ruffled her hair a little making Mirage's pout and scowl deepen. "Alright alright... so I might believe a little of what you say, so sue me!"

"We will when your worht our time."

"Mirror!"

"I'm only saying the truth!"

"Yeah right and I'm the Queen of Africa!"

"You don't look native American to me."

"Mirror!"

"What?"

"SHUT UP!"

"NO!"

Tala and Kai looked at each other and both shook their heads. They each silently got up and crept out of the room to leave the girl's to their bickering. They were halfway out of the room when someone grabbed on to Kai's scarf, and Tala's shirt colar.

"Oh no you don't." Both girl's repeated as they held onto the boys tightly.

Both boys looked at them with pleading eyes but it didn't matter as Mirage and Mirror started bombarding them with questions and pummeling them to death.

Later that night Mirage snuck out of her room to get a glass of water. It was at least 2 in the morning and they went to bed at 11 so it was pretty late at night. After she was through with her water, she snuck back into her bed, and tried to get some sleep. However she kept getting restless and eventually gave up. She looked at the clock beside her and 3:00AM flashed back up at her. She sighed and got up from the bed. 'Maybe a stroll around the neighborhood will clear this freaking mess up.' she thought and slipped on a robe. She closed the door behind her careful not to wake up her sister. Apparently Kai and Tala thought that most of the danger was gone so the two sisters got to sleep together. She crept past Kai's door and found that his light was on. Mirage quietly opened the door to see him asleep on his desk with a book out and open in front of him. She smiled a little before grabbinga blanket and placing it over his shoulders. The movement must have woken him up cause he grabbed her wrist and glared at her.

"What are you doing up? You should be in bed."

"I uh... sorry but I just couldn't sleep... nightmares..." Mirage blushed a little and grabbed her wrist back when he let go of it. "I'm sorry I woke you it's just I thought you looked a bit cold so I thought that you could have a blanket..."

"Whatever... did you need anything?" Kai looked at her wierdly.

"No I just um... decided to go out for a walk andnow since I accidentally woke you up, I was wondering if you would like to come with me?" Mirage looked at the floor as Kai gave her a slight glare before he sighed and moved to his bed. Mirage took it the wrong way and started to head out of his room when his voice picked up again.

"Go get your coat. I know a place where you can relax instead of walking." he sounded and a jingle of keys was heard as well.

Mirage turned around and smiled a little before saying kay and she went downstairs for her coat. When she turned around with her coat on Kai was already downstairs yawning a bit as he opened the door. She frowned. "I really am sorry that I woke you up... what were you reading anyway?"

"It's okay and I was reading a book about World War I. My dad said that some of our family members were in that war... I just wanted to know and yeah... some other stuff..." he led her outside into the garage."Get in the car okay?"

"Alright..." Mirage said quietly and got into the passenger seat. Kai got in as well and started the ignition before driving off into the night.
