Morning came and she awoke to the sun in her face. She yawned and stretched. When she brought her hand back to her side she brushed something soft. "What the?" She remarked to herself. She turned to see a bump in the bed. She brushed the soft thing again then threw off the blanket. "Aaaaaaaaaa!" Cierra screamed jumping out of bed.

"What?" Ikuto yawned and stretched turning over to face Cierra who was now pressed against the wall.

"Why are you in my room!?" She yelled "And in my bed?" He shrugged. Got up off the bed and walked out of the room. "I really wish he'd stop doing that." Cierra told herself. She got dressed and went out into the living room to see Shannon sitting on the couch, her ankle wrapped in bandages and Cloud sitting next to her. "Oh great Mr. Sunshine's here." She mumbled.

"Cloud wrapped my ankle up." Shannon smiled lifting her leg up to show her friend. "Wasn't that nice of him?"

"Oh yeah, totally." She rolled her eyes and walked into the kitchen.

"So how'd last night go?" Cloud asked Shannon once Cierra was out of the room.

"Alright, I got Cierra in trouble with Ikuto." Shannon laughed.

"And how did you do that?" Cloud asked laughing.

"Threw a pillow at his antic violin by accident, and then acted like I was sleeping when Ikuto came out." She smiled.

"Wow, nice one. You have a really pretty smile." Shannon could feel her cheeks burning.

"Thank you." She replied. He nodded.

"You need to get that ankle better." he remarked. "Maybe when you do I can show you around town." He smirked.

"I'd like that." Shannon smiled.

"I have to go but I'll be back this evening, okay?" Shannon nodded.

Cloud got up off the couch and turned towards Shannon, accidentally kicking her injured ankle. Shannon cringed a little in pain.

"Oh, sorry!" Cloud felt real bad. He leaned down to rub her ankle. "I'm sorry Shannon." Shannon could no longer even feel the pain all she could focus on was Clouds strong hands on her skin. "Is it alright?" He asked. She nodded. "Alright then I better get going." He lightly kissed her ankle and gave her a heart stopping smile, then walked away.

(In the Kitchen)

"What do you have to eat around here?" Cierra asked Ikuto who was sitting at the table. He didn't answer her; his face was buried into a newspaper. She walked closer. "I said what do you have to eat around here?" she repeated. Still no answer. She put her face right behind the

newspaper and tried once more. "What...do...you...have...to..eat...around...here!?" She asked each word slowly. He slowly put the newspaper down to reveal two kitty ears attached to his head.

"Do you ever shut-up?" He asked. Cierra was dead silent, staring at the cat ears. "Oh so you can." Ikuto smirked.

"Are-are those...c-cat ears?" She spat out.

"No they're bunny ears!" He mocked.

"Are they like part of you?" Cierra went to touch them and they bent back a little.

"Don't touch them." he warned.

"But they look so soft." She reached for them again. Ikuto dodged her hand and stood up.

"I just wanna feel them!" She whined, chasing him around the kitchen. "Did they like just grow out of your head over night or something?" You didn't have them last night?" Ikuto sighed and shook his head.

"No."

"Then what the heck?" She asked jumping up to try and touch his kitty ears.

"Don't worry about it." he remarked, watching her jump up and down.

"I...won't...unless...you...let...me...touch...them." she said between jumps.

"Fine." he leaned down, so she could reach.

"They are soft!" She giggled like a little girl. Ikuto rolled his eyes and stood back up.

"So I never caught your name Green eyes."

"Cierra, my names Cierra."

"Alright Green eyes." He smirked.

"So now for you to answer my other question, what do you have to eat around here?"

"There's doughnuts in the pantry." Cierra smiled and went to the pantry.

"So do you like eat cat food or something then?" She asked sticking a donuts half way in her mouth as she closed the pantry and turned around.

Ikuto was right in her face and had his mouth on the other side of her donut.

Cierra froze the donut still in her mouth as Ikuto's big purple eyes stared into hers.

"Cierra, I want some food!" Shannon's voice echoed from the living room. Ikuto bit of the donut licked his lips a sexy smirk on his face. Then stuck his hands in his pockets and walked out of the kitchen. Cierra stood there, donut still in her mouth. "What the hell is up with this guy?" She asked herself.

"CIERRA FOOD FOR SHANNON!" Shannon's voice echoed again. Cierra took a bit out of what was left of her donut and got Shannon some breakfast. Soon Cierra came out of the kitchen with a box of donuts and a glass of milk, she handed it to Shannon.

"You're lucky you're my best friend." Cierra laughed.

"Thank you Wench." Shannon smiled, sticking a donut in her mouth.

"Watch out there, Ikuto may steal half your donut, he's been known to do that." Cierra pouted. Shannon gave her a confused look and tilted her head to the side. "Don't ask." Cierra finished. She took a seat next to her friend. "So, Ikuto has cat ears." Cierra said very calmly. Shannon's eyes opened wide and she almost choked on her donut. "Yeah…they're soft." Cierra smiled.

"You seem pretty calm about that." Shannon coughed.

"You know that guy has been weirding me out left and right. I really don't know how to feel about any of it." Cierra shrugged and grabbed a donut and stuck it her mouth, quickly she looked back and forth and stuffed the whole thing in her mouth and smiled.

"Wow fatty."

"Shut-up! I didn't want it to get jacked." Cierra mumbled with her mouth full.

"Right, anyways. Cloud kissed my ankle, he's so sweet and HAWT!" Shannon sighed leaning into the couch.

"His hair hurt me." Cierra remarked with no emotion.

"I like his hair." Shannon smiled. "He said he'd show me around town, once my ankle heals." She continued.

"That's neat. Well I'd hate to leave you but I think I'm going to go take a look around town myself." Cierra stood up and walked towards the front door.

"Kay, if you see Cloud tell him I say hi!" Shannon yelled as Cierra disappeared out the door.

"Okay so lets see what the heck there is to do around here." Cierra told herself looking around. She walked around when she found an outside market.

"Fresh apples get your fresh apples here." A lady yelled walking by her carrying a basket of apples.

"Chacocobo babies, come train your Chacocbobo babies here!" A man at a near by stand was yelling.

"What the hell is a Ch-ch…whatever?" Cierra asked herself. She shrugged and walked further into the market.

"Jewelry, beautiful unique jewelry here, now featuring the Humpty Dumpty key and matching lock!" Voices where yelling left and right trying to sell their products. Finally one caught her eye.

"Cat nip and other fun toys for your cat." Cierra read the sign; her face grew a mischievous smile. "I'll take a thing of cat nip, please." Cierra smiled handing the lady some money in exchange for a tiny purple bag. Hours passed and Cierra found a small park, she sat down on a small bench and licked on her ice cream cone that she had bought.

"This place is interesting." Cierra smiled and closed her eyes leaning her head back to soak up the sunshine.

"Do you always talk to yourself?" Cierra shot her eyes open and looked around.

"Up here Green eyes." Cierra's eyes got wide.

"Ikuto." She whispered to herself as she looked above her head to see Ikuto lying on a tree branch. "What are you stalking me now?"

"Don't flatter yourself Green eyes." He yawned, making his cat ears twitch. Cierra rolled her eyes.

"Then mind telling me why you are in a tree above me?"

"I like the spot." He jumped down from the branch and was now standing in front of her. "Had nothing to do with you Princess." He leaned over and licked her ice cream. "Mmm vanilla." He licked his lips. Cierra's face turned bright red. "See ya later." He said walking away.

"There's a place downtown were the freaks all come around, it's a hole in the wall it's a dirty free for all!" Shannon sang, her eyes closed and headphones in her ears. She didn't hear Cloud come in. Cloud smiled and made his way towards her. "When they turn me on, when they take it, when they take it off, everybody take it off!" Shannon continued to wale. Cloud slowly took out one of Shannon's headphones.

"Do I turn you on?" He whispered sexually in her ear. Shannon's eyes burst open and she shot up, her face was bright red. She cleared her throat.

"Um, hi." She smiled sheepishly.

"Hey." He smiled making Shannon melt inside. "So how's the ankle doing?"

"Better."

"Would you like to try and walk on it?" He asked. She slowly nodded. "We'll go easy on it." He grabbed her hand to help her up. She put her good foot down, and then slowly placed the injured foot next it. Cringing a little in pain. Cloud placed his strong hands on each side of her waist to help keep her up. Shannon slowly moved with Cloud, paying no attention to the pain. "You're doing great Shannon." He smiled, his eyes locked on hers. Shannon smiled back. A burst of pain shot up her leg and she fell against Cloud her face inches away from his. They both blushed.

"Sorry." She went to push her self off of him as much as she could. He smiled and pulled her back, placing his lips onto hers. They pulled away, Cloud wore a sexy smirk and Shannon was blushing.

"Let's get you back on the couch." He picked her up and walked to the couch, lightly placing her on it.

"Thanks." She smiled lying on the couch.

"So you never answered my question." Cloud smirked placing his hand against the couch and leaning his head over hers.

"And what question was that?" Shannon smirked.

"Do I turn you on?" He leaned down closer. Shannon said nothing. "I thought so." He smirked kissing her again. "I'll see you later." He stood up and walked towards the door. He opened the door and stepped out. "For the record you turn me on too." He winked and closed the door. Leaving Shannon lost in Cloud Land. Cierra soon walked in.

"What up with you, miss smiley?" She asked.

"Nothing, just me and Cloud kissed." Shannon sighed.

"Haha knew it. Sweet girly." Cierra smiled.

"How was your walk?"

"Good sept I ran into Ikuto." Cierra mumbled.

"I thought you liked him?" Shannon was confused.

"Well I think I do, but he's such a tease. And like he's like not like any of the other boys I've chased after."

"Isn't that a good thing?"

"I guess." Cierra added. The front door opened and Ikuto walked in. "Hey your kitty ears are gone." Cierra frowned. Ikuto nodded.

"Cierra nya!" Yoru flew from behind Ikuto and onto Cierra's shoulder. Cierra laughed. "Ikuto was looking for you, we went back to the park and you were no longer there nya." Ikuto walked passed Cierra and grabbed Yoru. "Hey nya."

"So you were looking for me?" Cierra smiled. Ikuto walked into his room with Yoru in his hand and closed the door. Cierra shot a glance at Shannon.

"Well he is different." Shannon shrugged.

"I am going to go give him a piece of my mind!" Cierra stumped off down the hall and to his door.

"Cierra, I don't know if that's such a good idea." Shannon yelled behind her. But it was too late she was already knocking on his door.
