Kira's POV

Ok. Here's the low down. I'm Kira Kiroi. I have lavender hair that has small curls in it, and laces around my face, Lavender eyes, and I'm currently wearing a purple skirt, and a white blouse. A matching vest over it. I have this giant secret. A secret that could bring down this girl in front of me. Kori. And I'm currently being dragged by her to... some person's house. Hatori... I think he's name is. Not sure, she dragged me out of our dorm speaking rapidly. It's currently two forty-three. And I've just lied the biggest lie in a few weeks. Swell isn't it?

(Normal POV)

Kori dragged the lavender haired girl behind her. Speaking at a fast pace.

"Kori!" Kira shouted, Kori stopped, blinked and turned to her, "I'm going to get in serious trouble if I'm caught out here. Serious Trouble. With a capital 'T'."

"So we'll just not let you get caught." Kori brushed it off. "Don't worry!" Kori grinned, "We'll do this in be back at the north dorm in time before the gate closes!"

That's not the trouble I'm talking about... Kira blinked sadly. Kori turned around not noticing the worried and sad look on Kira's face.

"Besides, we're here!" Kori mentioned, knocking on the door. After waiting for a few minutes the door opened, to reveal Hatori. "Hey there Hatori! I need clothes... uh... Please!" Hatori blinked at the rather bluntly said... statement.

"Uh... Ok hold on." Hatori went back inside and put on his shoes grabbed his keys, and motioned the girls to follow him. "So who's your friend, Kori?" Hatori asked after he started the car, and they were on their way.

"Oh yea! This is Kira Kiroi." Kori said, "Kira this is Hatori."

"Hey." Kira said quietly from the back. Still contemplating the punishment her person would be handing out to innocent people. She winced.

"So where we going?" Kori asked.

"We're going to a friend of mines' store." Hatori said, "His name's Ayame, he's a blundering idiot, with a good taste of Fashion."

"A blundering idiot...?" Kori whispered.

"Yea... I'm not to proud on that part." Hatori deadpanned.

"Oh..." Kori mumbled. "So, where's this store of his?"

"Right over there." Hatori pointed to a small building nearby. He parked the car, and got out. Kori and Kira following behind him.

"Hatori! Long time no see!" Ayame cried,

"I saw you yesterday." Hatori said, "Anyways, Kori's here to be fitted for clothes."

"Kori! How are you! Nice name." Ayame said,

"Thanks," Kori said blushing. "Um... Can we do this quickly? Me and my friend have to be back inside the school gates soon."

"Oh of course!" Ayame winked, "Would your friend want to be fitted as well?"

"Oh!" Kira blinked back to reality, "Um no thanks. I don't have a lot of money for custom made clothes!"
"Oh don't worry... um...?"

"Kira."

"Right, Don't worry Kira!" Ayame said, "Completely free of charge. As long as you like the clothes of course." Ayame winked. Something angrily stirred inside of Kira. Kira's eyes widened. Oh no... please... Not here! The feeling grew stronger. No! Not here! Kira clenched her eyes. Quickly opening them again, one eye was now a deeper purple then the other. Nooo!

"I'll... Be... right... back..." Kira said through clenched teeth, turning and running out the door. You can't... not now! She ran as quickly as possible into a nearby alley. Where she leaned into the wall. Grabbing her stomach. By now her eyes were a darker shade of purple.

"Kira!" Kori called out to the other girl. Ayame held her back.

"Don't worry! She'll be fine. I'm sure she'll be back by the time we're finished with you." Kori looked back again, Worry in her eyes.

"Maybe she was just constipated." Ayame shrugged, "we don't have bathrooms here so yeah." Kori blushed. Hatori hit him lightly over the head.

"Well C'mon!" Ayame pulled her to the back.

Kira screamed, as black wings erupted harshly from her back. She gripped the brick wall tightly, as the black wings flapped gusts of air throwing paper and light garbage away. Her hair quickly changed color to black, straightening in the process, now reaching her waist. She straightened up.

"Hey baby..." A man with blonde hair came out of the shadows. "You look dark... Why don't you come here and let me--" Kira raised her head, palm outstretched.

"I need to relieve my self," Kira's voice seemed darker, laced with something foreboding, a black energy wave grew in her palm. "Dark Blast." She said, blasting it at the man, throwing him against the wall. This new person's eyes flashed.

Yami! You can't do this! You'll hurt the poor man! Kira shouted from inside her body, Stop it!

"No. I've waited three years for this. I won't wait any longer." Yami snorted, "Besides-" She smirked, "He was trying to molest you in the first place. Dark Aurora!" a laser like light grew in her palm again, this time though it hit him in the heart. Yami's eyes flashed again, Kira tried again, to regain control. The wings dispersed, Kira's hair went back to it's lavender state, she blinked her eyes were back to normal, calmly she straightened her skirt and shirt. Although her hands were shaking. She retraced her steps. Leaving the poor blonde man past out. She opened the door to the store. "Kira!" Kori shouted. "You're ok! We're back here!" a hand shot out of the curtain.

Kira walked back there, stumbling over a hanger.

"So why'd you leave a little while ago?" Kori asked.

"I was... um..." Kira thought of the response that seemed the most true... "Constipated... Yea. I was constipated." She sighed on the inside.

"Told you." Ayame muttered from the back, he was writing Kori's measurements. "Ok Kira your turn!"

It had taken them a little over an hour after that. Only because it was three thirty, Ayame had them choosing fabrics and everything, shoes, colors, hats, feathers, it was truly an amazing sight to see. Especially if you feel slightly overwhelmed at the fact that, in the back of Ayame's store there was another room with expensive looking fabrics, there were thousands upon thousands of fabric, from Silk, to Cotton to Polyester, to denim to everything in between.

Ayame was having a blast. Kori and Kira had never seen so many different types of fabrics, it truly overwhelmed them. Especially when Ayame had said to choose three different types of fabric. Kori chose Silk, Cotton, and Nylon. Kira also chose Cotton, Nylon and the denim. She didn't really like silk. Then Ayame asked them if the colors mattered. They shook their heads no. "Ok good. Because it's not like I would've listened anyways." Ayame had said. Kori laughed.

"Well we got to go. Thanks for everything!" Kori said, shaking Ayame's hand. Hatori gave something to Kori while they were getting in the car.
"What's this Hatori?" Kori asked, opening the big yellow envelope. A smaller envelope slid out, with that a plastic card, and a small purse with a picture of an orange cat sleeping.

"A credit card? What's in the envel--Oh my god!" Kori pulled out at least over a two thousand dollars. "This is so much money! Who's it from?"

"It's from Kaze and Fuaiyaa, they say everything you have there is yours. Two thousand is only a small amount of your bigger inheritance. They gave away your old clothes because they knew they wouldn't fit anymore." Kori nodded.

"But I don't know Kaze or Fuaiyaa." Kori said. "But thanks for this, send them my thanks. Um... is this a debit card?"

"Yes." Hatori replied. "Your pin number is written on the envelope flap." Kori checked and sure enough there was her pin number. She memorized it quickly. Shoving the smaller envelope back into the original envelope. Folding the money into a wad. she stuffed it into her new purse, along with her new debit card.

"So where are you girls off to now?" Hatori asked.

"To the mall!" Kori said excitedly. Kira nodded, she hadn't been to the mall since Yami had appeared inside her. "Just drop us off, we can walk from there to school. it's not that far."

"Yea it's only about ten maybe twenty minutes away." Kira said, Hatori nodded.

A few minutes later they arrived at the mall.

"Careful you two!" Hatori called. They both nodded.

"Let's go explore!" Kori said. They walked inside, checking out the CD center, Kori bought herself an MP3 player, along with a few CDs. Kira bought three CDs.

"Wow... you shouldn't waste all your money so quickly Kori." Kira said. Kori shook her head.
"Nah, I won't. I just reeeeeeeeeealllly wanted these CDs. And I don't have anything to play it on, soooo I bought it! Heh." Kori grinned. "Don't worry! I won't spend it all to quickly, 'sides, with this money I can totally repaint my room! So, off to Sears!"

Kira nodded, following Kori to Sears at the other end of the mall. I swear she acts like a child sometimes. Like she has no other care in the world! She's lucky, she has Hikaru now. At least... for a while... Yami finished quietly.

"Wow! look at all these paint chips!" Kori exclaimed, she scanned several colors, "It's so hard... Ohp... Never mind, I have chosen!" Kori made her voice deeper trying to sound like somebody important. "Anyways-" she waved it off, after laughing to herself. Kira just stared... stupidly, but she stared nonetheless. "-I have chosen these two colors: Blue Rose, with Ancient Love." Kira's eyebrows shot up.

"Ancient Love?" Kira questioned.

"Yea! Ancient Love's this mixture of blue and white, with a small tiny drop of a hazy red." She overlapped the paint chips, "Don't they match?" Kira took the chips, and stared.

"Yeah, they do match. Great combination!" Kira smiled at Kori, Kori smiled back, it was just to much love for the poor paint buckets! XD Anyways, lets forget about the paint buckets cause they're not really important right now. Kori walked out of the aisle.

"I'll get the paint later, right now, we have to go eat and get back to school." Kori pointed to the watch on her wrist. "Hatori gave it to me." It was already six-fifty-six.

"How time flies I guess." Kira shrugged. Kori chuckled, "Let's go eat! I'm starving!" Kira said loudly, distracting herself. She grinned at Kori. They started walking back to the food court. Kori chose Subway; white bread with ham American cheese, and everything else on it 'cept olives and mushrooms.

While Kira said that Subway was very revolting and highly disgusting. Kori pointed out that Revolting and Disgusting practically meant the same thing. Kira shrugged, and chose Italian pizza. Pepperoni cheese, and jalapenos, with crushed red peppers and parmesan of course. Kori shook her head. Heading to a table to go eat.

"This is a truly rare sight." Yuki said quietly to Kyo and Tohru.

"You know what really is a rare sight?" Kyo asked.

"What?" Tohru and Yuki asked.

"We're in a food court not getting any food!" Kyo exclaimed.

"Is food all you can think about right now?" Yuki said incredulous, Kyo glared.

"Freak yes! I'm hungry. Let's go eat!" Kyo exclaimed in all his Kyo glory.

"Yes. I'm hungry too." Tohru said, smiling. Yuki sighed.

"Fine."

"Yes! Thank god to Tohru." Kyo laughed. Quickly walking to Panda Express. "Food!" He ordered his meal, waited for it to be prepared, waited until Tohru finished with her order, payed, and left to go sit down, Tohru following him, her short skirt waving around her legs. Yuki followed soon after. Kyo looked around and saw that Kori and that other girl had finished and left.

Kori sighed. It was already 7:40, and they were running to get to the school on time, before the gates closed. Crap crap, I shouldn't have stayed at the bookstore... we're late and we're going to miss the gates... aw crap... Kori thought, running even faster, they were barely halfway there. Her zodiac, the cat, was having fun with all this running.

Kori smirked. Wondering how Kouru was doing. Kira was a few feet behind her, and gathering speed. she checked her wrist, looking at the small watch. Seven Fifty-five. Crap. Seeing the shortcut she used to take coming up, with a burst of speed, she caught up to Kori, grabbed her upper arm, and sharply turned her into the alley. Kori yelped.

"Short-cut!" Kira yelled over her shoulder, still running. Kori nodded, running closely behind her. Her hair loose and wild flowing in the wind. Kori checked her watch; seven fifty-nine. Kori ran even faster, passing Kira. Kira noticed and also checked her watch, she swore under her breath. Turning the corner, they burst out of the alley. Stopping to catch their breath.

"That... was... a great... run... seriously." Kori panted. Breathing harder. Kira nodded. She looked up. The Gates! Her eyes widened as the gates were half way closed, Kira grabbed Kori and ran across the street. Kira stopped and stared. Kori frowned and pushed Kira through small opening. Kira gasped as Kori gave her all of her stuff.

"Go back to the room. Hurry up, before they catch you." Kira nodded numbly.

"B-but what about you?" Kira asked, already turning around.

"Don't worry, I'll figure a way to get back to the room." Kori grinned. "Trust me."

"I'll cover for you." Kira said over her shoulder, Kori nodded, not really paying attention. Looking at how high the gates were. She assumed about ten feet high, maybe twelve. She sighed, looking down either side of the street, she noticed a tree. Whoo! Power to the trees! Kori thought smiling. It was dark out already, so it made it easier for her to climb over. Swiftly catching a branch, she flipped herself on it, then she jumped onto another branch.

Once she reached her destination. and jumped onto the edge of the wall. Crouching low, she watched as a security guard walked by with a flashlight. Never once looking up. Once he was a fair distance away, Kori was about to jump when she heard laughing and angry voices. She almost fell out of fright. She looked behind her and saw Yuki, Kyo, and Tohru, coming down the street. Walking in the direction of the tree. She looked back into the school, checking for the guard.

She straightened up, and front flipped and landed crouched, one leg extended to the side to keep her balance. Checking the wall again, she took off running across the schools' big yard. Running fast and hitting the ground hard, her eyes widened when a cloud of smoke surrounded her. Then pOoF she turned into her cat self, she sighed, grabbing her clothes in her mouth she started half running half dragging, her clothes back to the North dorm.

Once she reached the dorm's double doors, Crap... she thought. How was she supposed to get in now? She growled, when she heard somebody's footsteps pounding on the grass behind her, she quickly jumped behind the bushes, crawling under them to see who was running to the dorm. She looked up, ears flat on her head. Kyo? Her cat form shot out of the bushes just as Kyo opened the door a crack, he jumped a foot in the air, as soon as he felt something solid run past his legs, shrieking was beyond him, he was PETRIFIED!

Kori rushed to hide behind the stairs, Kyo shut the door, and ran up the stairs. Just as a flashlight entered the building. Kori sighed. Then pOoF she was back to her naked normal self. Changing back into her normal clothes, she walked up the stairs, she heard the door behind her open again, she looked back, to scared to hide, her eyes widened when she realized it was Yuki.

"Kori!" Yuki gasped, "What are you doing out here?"

"How do you know my name?" Kori asked raising a skeptical eyebrow.

"Uh... You know Kyo right?"

"Yeah..."

"He told me..."

"Oh, Well I was at the mall and missed to gates closing, so I had to jump over the wall... You?" Kori finished,

"Same, only I had to make sure Tohru safely made it back to the South Dorm." Yuki replied.

"Oh." They continued to walk up the flight of stairs together, going to the third floor. "What floor is your room in?"

"The third," Yuki said, "Yours?"

"Same." Kori smiled.

"Ah, well I'm in room 209, what room are you in?"

"206."

"That's four doors down from us."

"Yup. Wait... who's 'us'?" Kori asked, Yuki smiled at her.

"Kyo."

"Oh..." Kori stopped at her door, "Well goodnight, um...?"

"Yuki." Yuki's eyes flashed sadly, "Yuki Sohma."

"Well, goodnight Yuki." Kori nodded his way, "See you tomorrow."

" Night," Yuki casually waved. Kori sighed as she entered her room.

"Kira!" Kori called quietly. "I'm here."

"Oh great!" Kira called, "How'd you get inside?"

"Tree."

"Tree? Who's that?" Kira asked, walking out of her room,

"Seriously, a tree I climbed a tree."

"Oh... hahaha, I knew that." Kira laughed nervously, walking into her room," Well I got homework to finish. Night Kori."

"Night!"

Kori sighed and entered her room, seeing her bags on the bed. She opened it, and pulled out her new stuff. Putting it away, she laid down and promptly fell asleep.
