"Kara, are you ready yet?" Jen asked banging on Kara's door. Kara didn't come to the door. "Come on, Kara. We're going to be late for the party."

"What's going on?" Kurama asked.

Jen turned to him. "She won't come out of her room. I don't get it."

"I do," Kurama said. It was storming outside. "I'll be right back."

Kurama knocked on Kuronue's door. When he didn't come to the door, Kurama opened the door and was surprised to find it unlocked. Kuronue wasn't inside.

He went back to Jen and told her to try the door. The door opened and the two saw Kuronue holding Kara wrapped up in a blanket.

"What do you two want?" Kuronue whispered.

"Is she awake?" Jen asked.

Kuronue shook his head. "She finally went to sleep a few minutes ago."

"She went to sleep? We have a party to get to."

Kurama motioned for Jen to leave the room. "She's not going," he said. "I'll explain on the way."

"Okay."

"So she's afraid of thunderstorms?" Jen asked. She was shocked.

"Yes, and Kuronue is the only one she trusts to get close to her when she's like that. I tried once and she ended up kicking me in the stomach."

"Ow," Jen said. "Did she know?"

Kurama shook his head "no." "She wasn't aware until the next day when I told her. Kara didn't realize I came into her room…she thought it was someone else."

"Who?"

"It's not important," he stated. "We should enjoy the party. Don't worry about Kara. Kuronue can handle this."

Kara turned in her bed only to find it empty. The storm had finally stopped so she felt safe enough to get out of bed. The bathroom door was shut, so she knew Kuronue was in there. She smiled at the fact the Kuronue came to her room as soon as the storm started. Kara didn't know why he bothered. If she hadn't changed now, she wasn't going to. She was a lost cause.

Kuronue came out from the bathroom and saw that Kara was out of bed.

"Well, good morning…evening…eh, screw it," Kuronue said. Kara giggled as a response which caused him to smile.

"Hey," Kara responded. "Do you still want to go to that party?"

"I guess we should," he stated. "We did promise those two that we would."

"I really wish I hadn't said yes," Kara said.

"Why?"

"Because I'm not the party kind of girl," she answered. "I'm the study every hour of the day kind of girl. I have no idea how to act at a party…unless it's a birthday party."

"That's okay," Kuronue said. "I was never really invited to one except by Kurama or his friends."

"Was your dad really that bad?" Kara asked.

"What part of organized crime do you not get?" Kuronue teased.

"The part where you get judged because of it," Kara stated. "You're a really nice guy, Kuronue."

He did a mock bow. "Thank you," he said.

"Anytime."

"So I guess we should head out," he said.

"I guess, but I have to change."

"Why?"

"Because Jen said I needed to wear something new to the party."

"You look beautiful in what you're wearing already." Kara blushed. "Besides we are already late. I'm sure she'll just be happy that you showed up."

"Well, alright then," Kara said, still blushing.

"Hey, Kara! You actually came!" Jen said running over to hug her friend.

"And I'm not here at all," Kuronue muttered sarcastically.

Jen rolled her eyes. "Get over it. Anyway, Kara, there's someone I want you to meet."

Kurama walked over to Kuronue and pulled him away from the two girls.

"What the hell was that for?" Kuronue asked.

"You might not want to see this," Kurama said. While Kuronue and Kara were back at the dorm, Jen told Kurama her plan and he didn't like it.

"What don't I want to see?" Kuronue asked, pushing past Kurama. He saw at that moment what Kurama was talking about.

"Kara, this is Jesse," Jen said. "This is his apartment. You two have a lot in common. Talk." With that, Jen went away.

"Kurama, what's going on?" Kuronue snapped.

"Well, Jen insisted. She said since you weren't making a move, someone else should and her friend is a marine biology major like Kara. He had seen Kara in our marine botany class and was interested is dating her."

"And you didn't say anything?" Kuronue was now yelling.

"I tried," Kurama responded, "but Jen said that maybe this would be something that would push you into finally admitting your feelings to Kara."

Jen walked over to the two boys. "Will you stop, Kurama? I know you didn't like this, but this guy over here wasn't making his move."

Kara walked back over to them. Jen smiled at her and asked, "So how'd it go?"

Kara blushed and looked away. "Um, he wants to take me out to dinner sometime."

"What did you say?" Kuronue asked. He kept his expression neutral, but inside he was freaking out.

"I said 'maybe,'" Kara answered while looking over to Kuronue.

"Maybe?" Jen asked. "Why maybe?"

"Because I'm not sure if I'm ready to date someone," Kara said. "I've never dated anyone before."

"It's easy," Jen said. "Come on; let's blow this popsicle stand and I'll tell you what you need to know."

Kara nodded and followed her friend, but not before waving to Kuronue and Kurama with a frown on her face.

"You really are an idiot," Kurama stated.

"What do you mean? Jen was the one who set her up!"

"Yes, but it was obvious that Kara doesn't want to go out with this guy. She looked at you when she told you what she said because she wanted you to take the hint and say something."

Kuronue walked away as he said, "There's nothing to say."

"All you have to do is tell Jesse about yourself and talk about your common interests. You're both marine biology majors so there has to be a lot to talk about. Kara, are you even listening to me?"

Kara wasn't really paying attention. She was too busy staring out her window, thinking. She secretly hoped that Kuronue would have told her not to go out with Jesse, but he just stood there with no expression. Kara was starting to think that Jen was wrong about the two of them.

Kurama came into the room. "Hey, girls," he said.

"Hey," the both said.

"Jen, can I talk to you for a minute?" he asked.

Jen got up from off the floor and walked with Kurama to his room.

"What?"

"What the hell were you thinking?" Kurama asked. "Right now by best friend is who knows where because he thinks Kara is going to go out with this guy, and Kara looks like a piece of her died when another guy asked her out."

"Kurama, relax. Kuronue is an adult and can take care of himself and as for Kara, that's part of my plan. She'll realize her feelings for him if she goes out with this guy."

"How can you be so sure?" he asked, still not onboard with the plan.

"Because a part of her 'died' when Kuronue didn't say anything. Not when the guy asked her out and I'm sure she's putting two and two together."

Kurama rolled his eyes. "Is there a book that tells you this stuff?"

"As a matter of fact," Jen said, "there is and trust me, it'll work."

"For their sake, I hope you're right."

A/N: Well, good job Jen -_-' Seriously, how many people have that one friend that does everything to meddle in their relationship. I'm surprised that I don't...yet...actually, I might.
