Kagami

A Note: Unexpected things happen again somewhere in these chaps. Good luck.

Karin's forehead recovered after 3 days.

She started to plan her 'Inspiration'. In her notebook, on a fresh page, she listed all the possibilities. She tapped her chin thoughtfully. Karin smiled. Getting Kazune-kun couldn't be that hard.

Right?

Karin sat on the porch, daydreaming.

Suddenly, a girl walked up to her and said, "Hi Karin!" Karin looked up and saw a pretty but familiar face. "FUKA!" the girl laughed cheerfully, hugging her lightly. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you I was coming. But I thought it would be fun if we just showed up for a surprise." Fuka explained, smiling. "Oh yeah. I forgot to introduce to you…"

"…Kagami." Fuka stepped aside, revealing a tall girl.

The girl looked cool and sophisticated, in a boyish style.

Kagami had short honey blonde hair, bleached at the tips, and golden eyes. She wore a black beret, a white t-shirt with some kind of paint splattered pattern on it, cool dark loose jeans, and black sneakers. She had one pierced ear with a single diamond stud, a silver necklace, and one silver ring.

Kagami had a Don't-Get-Close-To-Me-'Cause-I-Don't-Care air in her, making her a little intimidating. But Karin had to admit, Kagami was really pretty, although she sort of looked like a really handsome boy…

"Hello." Kagami walked up to Karin, extending her hand. Karin shook it, looking up at the girl. She really is tall, Karin thought. She liked Kagami's voice. It was soothing and comforting.

"Hello. I'm Karin Hanazono. I heard lots about you." Karin said politely, feeling a little intimidated. The girl seemed so confident and sure, as if nothing wrong could happen to her. "Really." Kagami smiled vaguely, her golden eyes fixed on Karin's face, studying her. "I've heard lots about you too. Heard you dumped Fuka." Karin's face flushed crimson at this.

"I-I didn't mean to… I'm straight…" She mumbled, shifting her weight from foot to foot.

Kagami studied her seriously at this point, and then laughed softly. "I was just teasing you. I know you're straight."

Karin smiled, relieved that she was joking.

"Kagaamii" Fuka whined, tugging on Kagami's hand. "Darling, I want to talk to Karin-chan too!"

Irritation immediately appeared on the tall girl's face, but it passed as quickly as it had come. "Yes, honey, you may talk to her." Kagami put her finger on Fuka's nose. "But if you get too close to her, I'll do something very bad too you."

Fuka blushed and giggled, snuggling up to her.

Karin somehow found this all a little weird. Usually she would be kind of freaked out by two girls acting so intimate, but today, it didn't feel like two girls sweet talking, but a girl and a boy.

She waved the thought away and decided it was the trick of the mind.

"So…" Fuka exchanged spots with Kagami. "How is it with him?" She asked, emphasizing the word 'him'.

Karin explained the whole situation, from the day of the confession to now, only leaving out the 'inspiration' part. That secret was for hers to keep.

"Hm…" Fuka looked up at the sky thoughtfully. "That's odd… Kazune-kun said that he liked you…"

Karin shrugged.

"Oh well. I have my own plans. I'm just happy you have Kagami now and you're happy. She looks wonderful." Karin added, smiling at the two. Fuka smiled back.

Although Kagami didn't smile back, she could somehow see her golden eyes twinkling and smiling, as if they shared a secret.

::::::: I liked the description of Kagami. I hoped you liked her too. xD Now... this Kagami character seems a little mysterious. I wonder what she's up to?::::::::
