The bugging worked! This is an extra scene written by our dear Imouto. This is when Kyoko presents her plan to Shin and Kanae on how they were going to trick Eric Koenji in the finals. Enjoy! 'Cause I sure did. XD

Kanae stood waiting, thoughts dancing around her head. She was curious what Kyoko's brilliant plan might be, but at the same time, she didn't want to go through the trouble it was sure to bring. She knew Kyoko enough to know it would be some harebrained scheme. And if it didn't succeed...

Smack

Two hands landed on either side of Kanae's cheeks. Startled, she looked up, just catching herself from flipping the idiot girl whose hands were now on her face.

"What was that for?" barked Kanae, irritated.

"You were spacing out, and we needed to get our super-secret meeting going." responded Kyoko, gesturing to where Shin Hizuri was lounging. When had he gotten there and why was he here?

"Alright!" said Kyoko clapping her hands together. "I bet you're all wondering why I called you here." Kanae gave her a flat look, clearly conveying her lack of patience. "Ahem. Yes. Shin are you acquainted with a man named Erik Koenji?"

"'Course." said Shin "Everyone knows he's one of the best and most egotistical idiots that ever became a mercenary."

"Perfect. So you already know him!" Said Kyoko beaming. "Well he's got some personal vendetta against Kanae, and will do whatever he can to make sure she's beaten first thing in the finals tomorrow."

Shin gave a low whistle and glanced at Kanae, "What'd you do to hack off someone that influential?"

"I won't sleep with him." Kanae answered shortly.

Shin looked at her, a smile spreading across his face. "Seriously? What a butt hurt bastard."

Kanae glanced at Shin. For royalty the man had quite the foul mouth.

"Anyway!" said Kyoko, drawing their attention back to herself. "I've got a plan so that way Kanae can compete fair and square." She paused here, looking suddenly nervous. "soShin'sgoingtodressasyou,andyourgoingtogounderadifferentdisguise." Kyoko said it all in one fluid breath.

They both stared at Kyoko.

"No objections? Great" she said.

"I've got an objection" Said Kanae. "What the hell did you just say? Because that did not sound like Asurian."

"Well" she looked nervous again. "Shin will dress up as you, and you'll go under a different disguise."

Kanae shook her head. How dumb could this girl be. There was no way Shin would do tha-

"That's brilliant!" Said Shin energetically. "So I get to cross dress! Can I wear a wig? Do I stuff my shirt? If I was a girl I'd have a nice rack."

"Ooo that's a new idea" said Kyoko. "I didn't even think about stuffing the shirt! But Kanae's a bit small."

They both looked over at her. Kanae bristled, snapping out of the trance that their stupidity had caused. "No." said Kanae firmly.

"No, they are quite small." said Shin.

"THAT'S NOT..." Kanae took a few breaths trying to calm herself. "I mean no, the plan won't work. For starters, I'm much shorter than Shin. Won't someone notice if I suddenly grow 8 inches?"

"Don't worry about that!" said Shin happily. "That idiot Erik is about as observant as a blind person, and it won't be breaking any rules."

"That aside, even if we trick him for a bit, in the end he'll still figure out which one is me, and get the judge to disqualify me.

"Again, not to worry." said Shin smiling. "If he thinks he can bribe our judge, he's got another thing coming. That man cannot be bought."

Kyoko and Shin kept talking, working out all the details, as Kanae sat there. Could this work? A small flicker of hope started with in her. Could she finally have the chance to beat that slime ball once and for all?

A smile pulled at the end of her mouth.

You're going down Erik.

Happy Thanksgiving!
