Auron sat in his kitchen, still waiting for Amanda to get back. It was now 12:00 o'clock, and he was getting a little nervous. What did Leo tell me to do? Auron thought, trying to calm his nerves. Yuna and Mari were back at 9:00 o'clock, and told him they hadn't seen her since when she left for home. She had supernatural wiccan powers. She can handle herself.

Auron sighted, leaning back in his chair. "Last night was quite a informative…"

EVENTS OF THE NIGHT BEFORE

After Amanda had left, Auron had thought about what to do. Should I call Mickey? Or the Elders?

Moments later, Leo orbed in, with a 15 year old blonde teenager with brown eyes at his side. Auron looked at Leo and said, "Thank's for coming."

"Is everybody okay?" Leo asked panicky.

"If you mean physically, then everybody's okay…" Auron said, "But I'm worried about Amanda…"

After telling them about the last two weeks of her silence and of the sudden Henna tattoo she'd been hiding, Leo finally told Auron of the girls past.

"I see." Auron said, leaning back in his chair, "I understand now, why she did what she did."

"I'd never expect Amanda to do something as crazy as that!" The blonde exclaimed, stunned by Amanda's actions. Though she hadn't spoken once since being here, she looked around cautiously, giving her every habit, personal trait away. She was usually quite, but at the right moment was ready to lash out and probably ready to rip you apart. Auron thought of the phrase, 'Silent, but deadly.'

"Maybe it's time you moved in too?" Leo offered her. She shook her head.

"I like my school."

"It's only until we find the Keyblade master! Then you, Amanda and Mari can go back home and take a break from the missions, okay?"

"You said that to us last time! When we finally vanquished the Source!" The girl argued.

"I can teach you a lot of cool fighting moves," Auron said, grabbing her attention. She looked over at him curiously.

"Amanda and Mari are already learning them…"

"Leo, can I pack my stuff soon?" She asked with a big grin on her face. Leo laughed and said, "Sure thing. Oh, Auron, this is Dyana, the oldest of the Enchanted Ones."

Auron reached over the table and went to shake her hand. She took it and they shook.

"Nice to meet you."

Auron jolted up suddenly, awakening from the memory. He heard the door handle jiggle, and Amanda stepped into the dark room, not expecting to get caught. Auron sat up straight and said, "Didn't think I'd be up?"

"Look, I'm not in the mood." She replied, "I'm going to bed."

As she went to make a bee-line to the hallway, Auron was in her way in the blink of an eye. He looked down at her, not able to see her or her face and said, "Your not going anywhere until you tell me what the-" Auron reached to flip the light switch on and gasped when he saw the left side of her jaw. She looked at him with an irritated look and asked, "Satisfied now?"

"What the hell happened?" Auron demanded, "I know that isn't a tattoo."

"Very funny." She hissed back, then softened her voice, "Look, can I stay home tomorrow? Last thing I need is to have everyone staring and asking what happened. I'll tell you tomorrow what happened. I just need sleep."

Auron nodded silently, and stepped out of the way for her to go to her room. He watched as she closed the door and he sighed, "This isn't going to be easy…"

Mari and Yuna walked to school, side by side. Mari was a bit irritated with Amanda for the whole midnight escapade last night, and envied her for getting to stay home.

"But that's not fair!" She argued with Auron that morning, "Me and Yuna were home at 9:00 o'clock!"

"Just get ready." Auron said in a groggy voice, "And if you calm down enough, could you please tell the King I'm skipping training this evening."

"B-b-but!" Mari tried to argue, but she gave up once Auron left the room.

Now her and Yuna were at the stairs, and of course, Riku and his idiots were sitting on the railing, all laughing about something. As they passed, him, he put his hand out to stop Mari and Yuna. Both girls looked up at him with challenging looks, asking him to try them. No, more like begging him to try them. But all he did was ask , "Hey Mari, how's Amanda?"

Mari gave him an odd look, and then pushed her way past him with Yuna on her tail. Once at her locker, she stopped, wondering, why did he ask?

Sora felt his courage disappear once he saw Yuna and Mari walk through the door, alone. He wondered what happened to Amanda and why she wasn't at school today.

"I hope I didn't say anything to offend her…" He thought to himself aloud as he started off for his own locker.

After putting his stuff in it, it slammed shut, revealing someone next to him.

"Hey Kairi." He said, greeting her.

"Hey Sora." She said in an oddly sweet voice, "I've been calling you all week, what happened?"

"My phone line crashed." He replied quickly. He wasn't quite sure how she would act upon hearing what he'd been doing all week.

"Ah…" Kairi replied, "I see…."

"Well, better get to Language class…" Sora said, getting an uncomfortable feeling in his stomach like something wasn't right, "We all know Nooj can get, right?"

"Right." She replied again, in the same strange voice. Sora stood there, momentarily, and then nodding, he started off.

"We all know how I can get too…" Kairi said to herself, "When I don't get MY way." And with that, she started off. Little did she know that a certain half-witch, half-whitelighter had just been hired this morning, and had just heard her little comment.

"So it is true…" The red-haired 22 year old said to herself, "Cheerleaders ARE bitches…" And with that, she walked into a closet where there was a bright light. As Riku walked by, he noticed it, and almost ripped the door out of it's socket when opening the closet to reveal nothing but the janitors brooms, mops, and cart.

"Excuse me." Riku jumped when hearing the voice of Setzer, their janitor, "What are you doing in my closet?"

"I… um…" Riku stammered.

"Next time, ask before you enter." Setzer said, pointing down the hall towards Riku's next class. Riku nodded and turned around in his heel.

"God damn lights…" He muttered to himself as he strode down the halls.
