Megumi was a very chance encounter. If I had met her before or after that day I would have turned and ran. As it was, the others kept me there, unfortunately. But she did come in handy so...

Now where to start...? I know, my haircut. I had it cut above my ears and dyed a light brown and had ordered green contacts from the eye doctor down the street. Brown hair and green eyes has always been an obsession of mine...

"You look like a guy," Rogue commented.

...In guys.

"Is that a bad thing?" Risty asked.

"No, but you look like a cute guy. So either you have problems, or I do," Kitten said, safely hiding behind Kurama. "Or maybe it's just the green eyes." she purred.

Kurama slowly inched away from her.

"Oh, but that has nothing to do with you Kurry-chan," she quickly added. "I don't like redheads."

"So is there a problem with my hair cut?" Risty yelled, startling the people walking down the street.

"No, Ris. There is not a problem with your hair cut," Ryu answered.

"It just means your cat friend is a lesbian," a strange voice added.

Everyone turned and looked at the source of the voice, a purple haired, purple-eyed girl sitting on a bench nearby. The girl smiled and walked over to the group. Kitten crossed her arms and glared at the newcomer.

"Or it might mean miss green eyes here is a guy."

Right then I should have killed her, or at least knocked her out. That would have made things so much easier. But, unfortunately...

Risty bristled and took a breath to tell the girl off but Kurama placed a hand on her shoulder and began talking.

"Who are you exactly?" he asked.

"Oh, the little pimp can talk. I thought you were going to just sit back and let your little whores do the talking for you."

Risty hissed, starling the purple haired girl. Kurama whispered to her.

"Don't do anything rash."

"Define rash," she asked through gritted teeth, already thinking of all the painful ways to kill this purple-haired bitch-in-whore's-clothing.

"Kill her," Kitten whispered in her other ear. "You kill her or I will."

"I'll hold her." Ryu growled.

Kurama sighed. "So, who are you?"

"Oh, I'm sorry where are my manner?"

"Up your ass." Risty mumbled.

"Excuse me?"

"Nothing dear." Risty said sweetly.

Kurama shook his head; he would never understand girls, and especially not Risty.

The other girl ignored this. "My name is Megumi. I'm new here so I'm looking for someone to show me around." she put a hand on Kurama's shoulder and smiled sweetly at him. "I was wondering if you'd be interested in giving me a little tour?"

Risty, Ryu, Rogue, and Kitten were all having the same thought. 'How dare that little slut! Who does she think she is? I should kill her for that. (except for Kitten who thought 'I should make Ryo-chan kill her for that.') Risty gritted her teeth and placed a hand on Megumi's shoulder, applying a little more pressure than necessary.

"Oh, that's too bad. You see, he doesn't live here. He's just visiting. That would make it a little hard for him to show you around. I'm so sorry," she said sweetly, applying more pressure until she finally released Kurama.

"Well then, would one of you like to show me around?"

"No," the girls answered simultaneously.

"That's too bad, I guess I'll see you around then?"

No one answered her.

Megumi didn't really become a part of our group until softball. Ah softball, the most wonderful experience of my teenage years. You know what I'm going to say don't you? I'm getting ahead of myself.

To sum up: Not to long after we met Megumi, I moved to the 'outside'. I began living with Kitten-chan and her mother, Ryu finally moved to the 'outside' a few years later and we held a big party for her. It turns out we all lived in the same apartment building and her next-door neighbor was a black fox-demon by the name of Shante, sound familiar? Yep, Shante, our boy-obsessed, over-dramatic love life having, dark-skinned, fox-tailed friend. Everyone in our apartment building were demons who had moved to the 'outside' but wanted to keep their children in the Ikami school system, a school system for demons is very beneficial you know. Then came Dante and Kina...
