Kiri walked out onto the balcony and watched Aki put his AT's on. She smiled to herself. He was amazing on his. After all, he was known as the king of the sharks pathway. She herself had once played while she was in Japan but she quit when she moved here.

"Kiri! Come play with me! I know you brought yours from Japan!" Aki urged her

"Sorry Aki! I can't! I have work to do!!" Kiri replied

Aki jumped up onto the balcony and gave her the puppy eyes. She looked away smiling.

"Only for a few minutes."

"YAY!!"

Kiri and Aki raced down the streets. They did 360 flips and soared in the air. Calling applause from watchers nearby. Kiri felt like she hadn't laughed for years. She couldn't even believe that Aki could change so much in the few weeks that he had come. Aeon rarely came home anymore and when he did, Kiri ended up skipping school the next day but she was fine with that. It didn't bother her as much since she now knew that she wasn't alone anymore.

"Let's ditch your boyfriend and go back to Japan. We ruled everything back then." Aki suggested when they stopped to take a break.

"Aki….we've talked about this."

"I know but it would be great if-"Aki was cut off by Kiri's firm voice

"Kiri the wolf is gone! And she's never coming back. Never."

Aki looked sadly at the ground. He had really hoped he could get his partner back, but he was obviously wrong. Kiri got up and held out her hand for Aki's.

"It's time to go home. We'll play at the AT park next time but don't go clawing into anyone. We're not in Japan and things are done differently here."

Aki nodded and they went home together.
