"Kim, I didn't expect you to wait around for me but honestly if there was another guy why didn't you tell me?"

She bit her lip. "There wasn't anyone else." She sat back against the tiles in her bathroom. "He wanted me but I didn't reciprocate those feelings."

"I didn't want people to find out about us like that, Kimi…"

"What 'us' Rai? We don't even know if there is an 'us'!" She ran her fingers through her hair.

"Kim, your phone is buzzing." Frankie popped his head round and handed her the vibrating phone.

"Cheers, Franks." She answered. "Hey baby… Uh huh… Oh really? Is that so…" She raised her eyebrows at Rai who was confused. "Are you sure he said that?!" She was getting angry. "No, don't send him in-"

"Babe, I'm coming in…" Haz called.

"Okay, he's already here… Cheers babe. S'laters." She hung up.

"What?"

"You have some explaining to do."

"Hey babe." Haruto leaned in to kiss Kimiko.

She leaned out the way. "You have some explaining to do too!"

"Kimi-Cub, what's up?" Rai asked.

"Don't 'Kimi-Cub' me! Ice queen?! Thaw her out?! You didn't think I'd find out?!"

"K, you haven't dated anyone and you were always sweet on me…"

"Kim wasn't sweet on anyone!" Frankie walked in. "She was only sweet on me. She pitied you, Haruto. It's not surprising either! You drooled over her and everyone knew it. When she left, you practically fell apart. It was pathetic. You are pathetic."

Kimiko didn't say anything but she looked fierce.

"No, my Kimiko would never act like that or think like that." Haruto looked to her desperately.

"It's true. It's all true, Haz. I let you think I was sweet on you when every time I spoke to you I couldn't take you seriously. Anytime a guy spoke to me, except Frankie, I wanted them to leave me alone. Unless they were part of my lot, which you never were, I just wanted them to be Rai. Franks is right. I felt sorry for you and everyone, apart from you, knew it." She had just held a huge takedown.

"Well, I'm sorry for seeing the good in someone who's got nothing good left in them." He walked out.
"I feel a little bad." Kim shrugged.

Frankie was on his phone. "Meh, he'll be back. He always is."

They laughed.

"That was so… Why would you do that?! He's a genuinely nice guy?" Rai was shocked by her actions.

"I take it you didn't tell him?" Frankie started picking at his nails a little.

"No, I didn't." She turned to Rai. "Haruto is not a nice guy. He's obsessed with me. I've done this to him before. The same speech and everything but he persists. I've changed my number several times. He forgets. It is why, when he walked in here, he didn't even look at you. He's completely psychopathic. I have a restraining order against him but he doesn't remember it so I can't use it. He has a shrine to me in his locker. He's creepy as."

"Oh… Well, I still think that was harsh…"

"Says the one who thought he could 'thaw me out' because I'm 'an ice queen'?"

"Take it I'm not off the hook for that one then?"

"Certainly not!" Frankie snorted. "I'll leave you to your punishment." He winked and walked out.

The party came to a close and the gang retired to their set sleeping placements.

Rai was sleeping with Kim curled in his arms. Bolting upright, she woke up Rai immediately. Her eyes were glassy and a burning red. Her eyes were fuelled by fire as she walked out onto the balcony. He followed her. Failing to stop her, he watched as she used her gift. The blood on the balcony was gone. Everything was healed. He tried to open the door but it burned his skin. Her hair started to flame and her hands were alight. She began to lift up. Her feet consumed by the fire that rose her up. She breathed in a lifetime of pain. As she did, a voice spoke.

"Kimiko, you need to learn your gift wisely. Fire sparks within you. Your fire can cause pain and it is a curse that you must suffer with your gift. Pain will fuel you against the final. You must use the pain I have given you against them, my child. I trust you and mark you with my gift. Let me strengthen your gift whilst the others lighten your load but I must guide you, my daughter."

She sucked in the pain and it marked her harshly. Her gift is a curse. She woke in bed, tears streaming down her face. Rai was nowhere to be seen.

"Do you think she's okay?" Anastasia asked.

"I do not think so, prophetess." Omi was in the main bathroom with her.

"Her eyes were bleeding. I've never seen that before." Jack bit the inside of his cheek.

"Her hair was streaked in it." Clay sighed.

"Just act like nothing happened. Talk about this in the morning, okay?" Rai asked the group.

Breakfast was treated with the best hangover cure known to man; a fry up. Frankie served the food for the gang as they eagerly awaited the delicious fatty food.

"Where's Kim?" Frankie asked, looking at the two vacant seats at the head of the table. She had always made sure he sat the head with her, not liking being on her own.

"I let her sleep in this morning, rough night and all." Rai smiled.

"I'll go get her." He sucked in a load of air. "OH KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIII!" He called.

"Jesus, I'm coming! I smelt the food and got dressed!" She sat in her seat and smiled as he ladled food on her plate.

"You look gorgeous this morning." Frankie kissed her cheek. "I am loving the new makeup!"

"What new makeup?" She asked.

Rai sat down and kissed her other cheek. "That whole fire thing on your cheek."

"It looks really nice! It suits you!" She smiled.

"Did you get new contacts Kim?" Clay asked.

"No, why?"

"The fire colour really suits you." Ana supplied.

"This whole theme looks wonderful on you, Kimi!" Ashley smiled.

"What theme?! I'm not wearing makeup or anything! I was too tired to get ready this morning after yesterday!"

Taylor handed her a mirror. "Kim, look…"

She opened the compact. "What?"

"Your eyes and makeup…?" Ashley said.

"I don't look any different except I'm rocking the glittery panda look today after forgetting to take off all the makeup from last night."

"Don't you see?" Frankie caressed her cheek in the place of her mark. "It's truly beautiful."

"I-I… I don't see anything." She looked at the gang. "Why can't I see it?"

"My eyes are burning!" Everyone looked at her.

"Your eyes!" Kimiko screamed.

"I can't see!"

"You need to lie down." Clay said firmly.

"Why can't I see?!" She screamed.

"It's okay, you'll be okay." Anastasia tried to stay calm.

"Her eyes are bleeding." Omi announced.

"Not helping, Omi." Zach looked at him.

"She needs medical attention urgently…" Frankie got his phone out and began to call a private doctor.
"Is that really a good idea considering…?" Rai asked.

"He's my private doctor. He understands me." Kimiko said.

"Get him here now." Clay ordered.

The phone call was made and the doctor arrived with two nurses.

"Jesus Christ." The Nurse exclaimed.

"Hana, that is no way to-" The second Nurse stopped. "Sorry, Hana. I understand totally."
"Hana, Jolie." The doctor pushed through. He nodded at Kimiko. Then looked down. "I take it this is the patient?"

"Yes, Dr Suzuki." Frankie said.

"Is there anything I can do?" Kimiko asked.

"Well, do these friends know about…?" He looked at her with a knowing face.

"Meet Water, Wind, Earth, Light and Dark. And you obviously know Frankie and these three are part of our training team anyway!" She smiled.

"Brilliant. Well, K, I need you to remove heat from her eyes, can you do that?"

She focused and her face began to cool a bit.

"Are your eyes still burning?" Ana asked.

"No, no, I don't feel burning." She opened her eyes. "Have they stopped bleeding?"

"Holy sh-"

"What?" She crinkled her forehead.

"You don't have er…" Jack was struggling.

"Can you see?" Dr Suzuki asked.

"This is an interesting case, Doctor." Hana bubbled.

"I'm so glad I applied to work with you!" Jolie squealed.

"I can see but it's weird."

"What do you mean?" He asked.

"I can see everything but it hurts to look."

The medical team all nodded and 'hmm'-ed.

"What is wrong with my eyes?" She started to cry a black liquid.

"Your eyes are well…" Ashley bit her lip.

She dabbed her eyes and saw the black liquid. "What?" She looked up at her friends. "What is this?"

"Your eyes have gone black." Hana said.

"Your iris' have gone from blue to black." Jolie stated.

"What do we do then girls?" The doctor looked at the nurses.

"We dab them?" Hana asked.

"Yes, we do." He walked round to the side of her head and took the hankie from his pocket to dab her eyes. He reached out and the grip on his wrist prevented him. "Well, aren't you very strong?" He laughed nervously.

Her head whipped round to face him. "Do not touch me." She stated; her voice was lower and sounded powerful.

"Not again…" Rai sighed.

Anastasia blinked and let out a breath of light air. It swelled around the room before ramming down the patients throat. There was silence for a moment and then the scream filled the room.

A/N: WELL! That was rather eventful. So whats happening to Kimi?! What the hell did Ana do?! Who's our patient?! Who's eyes were bleeding?! So then, what's going to happen next?! GOD KNOWS!

R&R!
