Sira sighed as she stood behind the counter. The day had come. The day for Alexis' party and she was completely dreading it.

Haku let out a whine causing her to glance down. She smiled slightly as she picked him up. "It's okay, Haku. We'll get through this."

His tongue lapped out of his mouth as his tail wagged. A pair of hands slapped onto her counter. Glancing sideways, she saw that it was her stupid co-worker and zookeeper, Daniel Radsmiff. He smirked at her, his brown hair falling over his auburn eyes. "Hey sweet thing, how you doing today?"

Sira glared. "Bite me."

He laughed as he leaned in. "With pleasure."

Haku let out a growl as he snapped at him. Daniel whirled around and ran screaming out of the store with Haku chasing after him. It was a rather amusing sight since Daniel was terrified of a little puppy whose bark sounded more like a yelp.

Once Daniel was gone, Haku trotted back to Sira, looking highly pleased with himself.

"What a good puppy." Sira said as she scooped him up. "My little bodyguard."

She glanced at the clock again and moaned. Work was almost over. "Why me."


Tori glanced at her watch for the fifth time in thirty minutes. "Where is that girl," she muttered as she paced back and forth in the den. "She's going to make us late."

Sira burst into the house carrying Haku. "You won't believe what just happened. Haku ate a car tire…"

"How did he get a hold of a car tire?" Tori asked.

Sira waved her hand. "That's beside the point Anyway, he ate the tire and he spat up fire." She nuzzled the wolf puppy. "Like a dragon."

"That's great," Tori said distractedly as she grabbed Sira's wrist and dragged her to her room "You need to change…now."

"But I can't leave Haku," Sira whined "He might try to eat the sofa."

Tori sighed. She knew it would make Shizuru furious if that would happen. No one wanted to mess with Shizuru.

Fifteen minutes later, they met Yusuke, Kuwabara, Kurama, Botan, and Keiko outside and headed towards the party.

"Wait," Yusuke said with a raised eyebrow. "The dog is coming?"

"He ate a tire and breathed fire," Sira said calmly. "I didn't think it would be a good idea to leave him in the house alone. He might decide to burn the place down."

Kuwabara shivered. "I'm glad you didn't do that. I would never hear the end of it from Shizuru."

Fifteen minutes later, they were at the party. It seemed Alexis had decided to have a yard party since the entire back yard was decorated. A live band was playing off to the side and a catered buffet was on the other.

"If you need me," Sira said, "I'll be over at the buffet. Eating my stress away." Haku barked happily as they left the group.

"How did she afford all this," Tori wondered aloud.

"Well, I did have a couple of good friends help me out," Alexis said from behind them. She was wearing a simple sun dress. She grinned coquettishly at Kurama and Yusuke. Keiko leaned towards Tori. "You want to grab Kurama and I grab Yusuke and we force them to dance."

"Torture Yusuke?" Tori said with a grin, "That sounds like fun."

Yusuke raised an eyebrow. "Torture Yusuke? What is this about torturing me?"

He didn't get an answer. Instead, Kurama and he were dragged towards the dance floor leaving Alexis and Kuwabara standing awkwardly.

Alexis looked him up and down before walking off.

"Geez," Kuwabara murmured.


Sira shoved another roll down her throat as she continued to watch the scene with a glare. Haku was busy chewing on a chicken wing watching everyone in interest.

"Sira!" Alexis said causing Sira to wince. She swallowed her roll as she turned to face her. Alexis smirked. "I see you still love eating."

"I see you still don't." Sira said flatly.

Alexis sighed as she leaned against the table. "I know we haven't been on the friendliest terms but how about we start fresh."

Sira laughed. "That's easy for you. You weren't the one who was mortified in front of all the populars."

"It was a mistake," Alexis said, "I'm truly sorry."

Sira shook her head. "You just don't get it do you? I can take a lot of crap but once I've had enough, I rarely forgive." She looked away from Alexis. "Now, if you would excuse me, I've just lost my appetite."

She walked away. Haku let out a whine as he quickly followed. Sira let herself wander aimlessly through the patch of trees nearby. Haku followed as he tried to catch and eat the butterflies that flew about.

She stopped in front of a tall tree. She was suddenly possessed with the urge to climb. Taking a deep breath, she hoisted herself to the closet branch. She repeated that process a few more times before she was pretty high up. With a contented sigh she leaned back against the tree.

A yelp from below signaled that Haku wanted to come up as well. Sira glanced down at him. "You can come up. You can do it."

Haku frowned as he backed up a few feet and jumped. He reached the first branch. He hopped from branch to branch until he reached Sira. He curled up in her lap and closed his eyes.

She frowned as she watched the sun set. How could Alexis think they could be friends? She could never forgive her. Not after what she did.

Sira could remember the incident like it was yesterday. Alexis and she had been best friends. They had shared everything including who they were crushing on. When she said she liked Brad Scott Alexis immediately arranged it so that there would be a party where she could chat with Brad.

She had spent over an hour and a half getting ready. Yes, it was time consuming but she figured the results would be worth it in the end. How was she to know that when she got there, Alexis and he would be making out.

Sira sighed sadly as she readjusted her position on the tree.

Seeing them, Sira had just stood there staring at them in shock. She had been dimly aware of people snickering at her. That wasn't what got to her though. It was the look Alexis had given her when she finally noticed Sira.

Alexis had flicked her eyes at her and smirked before continuing kissing Brad. When she left the party that night, she left her friendship with Alexis there as well.

She sniffed as she felt a tear trickling down her cheek. "Damn," she muttered. "I said I wasn't going to cry." But it seemed as if the floodgates had opened as sob after sob racked through her body.


Amu: That's it for now.

L.A.: Before I forget, a reviewer from one of my other stories asked if she could draw my characters. You guys are welcome to draw them as long as you let people know they are my characters.

Amu: Especially since she can't draw

L.A.: Your negativity is not appreciated here.

Amu: I'm not being negative. I'm being realistic.

L.A.: Anyway, just let me know so that I can post a link on my profile to it. That's it for now, just let me know what you think.
