Disclaimer: I don't won, though I think I'd be a better scriptwriter. However I do own Mint, who will be joining us for few chapters.

Okay my faithful readers, this will get a little weird… okay a lot weird but hang in there and wait to kill me after I've finished this disgustingly long fict.

Shaga Saga

Ch 9. Then Again…

Maybe, just maybe, we should have planned this more…

The three of them boarded a late night train. There were only 5 other passengers in that car, all asleep. Kai sat down, crossing his arms and legs. Shaga came and sat beside him, looking thoroughly tired. Ray sat on the other side of Kai, letting out a tiny yawn as he adjusted himself comfortably into the seat.

Kai then felt the yawn spread into him, he yawned and leaned back in the seat, resting his head on the back.

Shaga finished the yawn train and rested her head on Kai's shoulder.

Kai eyed her warily, not knowing what quite to make of this. He sighed exasperatingly, noting that she was already in sleep mode. Kai looked strait forward and used his peripherals to scan the train. As he made note of the passengers as he scanned them again a patch of out of place green caught his eye.

He turned to see a green haired girl in place of the elderly lady that sat there earlier. The girl waved innocently, beckoning him over. He glared at her, silently asking her 'why?' She smiled widely and shot him a wicked looked, as if saying 'I know.'

Kai frowned at her, deciding if he should go over. One last glare at the weird girl got him off his feet. He slid Shaga over, resting her head on Ray's shoulder. Ray didn't seem to notice so he walked over to the girl, standing before her.

"Hey there, cutie!" She chirped, patting the seat next to her.

Kai furrowed his brow, glaring death at her, as he remained standing.

"Is there something wrong?" She giggled slightly, tilting her head at him.

Kai leaned over her, staring her in the eye. They seemed to almost communicate. Each silent word transmitted through the blink of an eye. Finally he stood back, crossing his arms over his chest.

"You can alter your image." He stated dryly.

"My! How observant!" She squeaked happily, applauding his efforts.

Kai glared at her, quickly becoming annoyed by her façade.

"What?" She asked her voice sounding cold as ice and her face splayed with wicked grin. "Is there something on face?" Her voice deepened and matched Kai's as her image altered again.

As she stood, Kai came to stare at himself. The two Kai's glared at each other, circling around each other. Finally they stopped and the fake Kai's eyes fell on Shaga and Ray.

"Your friends don't seem so keen, or should I say my friends…" She snickered, perfectly capturing the essence of evil in her smirk.

Kai looked over at his friends, they still slumbered peacefully, completely unaware of what's going on mere meters away. Kai glanced back over at himself, noticing something out of place.

He brushed her shoulder and the image flickered and dissipated.

"Fascinating." She said, her real voice coming out with her curiosity. "You figured out that my armband was generating the prismatic field. Not many people notice such miniscule details." She said, her smirk changing into a respectful smile.

Kai tensed as the girl took to circling around him. After 3 laps she stopped next to him.

"Who are you?" She asked, "and what do you run from?"

Kai circled around behind her, coming to a stop before her.

"I'm the one who should be asking who you are." He stated placidly.

"I'm who ever you want me to be." She said changing into a super model. "Now, who are you?"

"Kai." A voice answered.

They both turned to see Ray up on his feet. Shaga had been moved to the end so her head rested on the arm of the bench.

"Who is she?" Ray asked, pointing to the super model poised beside Kai.

"Kai, eh?" She cooed, shaking her butt and draping her self over Kai. "And who are you, sweet stuff?" She asked Ray, transforming into a Chinese goddess.

"Don't answer her." Kai growled, brushing her off him.

Ray tilted his head and looked from the goddess to Kai. His eyebrow cocked as suddenly the goddess faded into Kai's image, then into himself.

"What do you want?" Ray asked, feeling somewhat awkward asking himself that.

"To help." She said smiling, reverting back to the green haired girl.
