After everything that happened with Kat I didn't see her at school for some time. I guessed she must have been reevaluating her life and took a short break. 'Right before graduation too.' Joelle and the girls had found out what went down that night in the villa, they were relieved to know Kat plans to change for the better; especially Joelle. Graduation was fast approaching. It was under a month until I would finally be free of college and then focusing all my efforts on Tres Spades and preparing for the competition that took place in just over three months.

Things had calmed down in the college since the news of Kat's role of playing the Ice Queen was over. It only took me since the day I started until the month I graduated to befriend her. It was quite a feat if I must say. I didn't think It was possible and yet here we are. I can finally hang out with Joelle and the girls without fear and knowing I'm truly accepted into the group for real now...It left me with an indescribable feeling. I could finally smile and mean it.

People were still bound to try using Kat, especially If she showed her weaknesses, but no matter what Joelle and I would always be there for her. Us along with the girls would continue to look out for her.

Eisuke, however, wasn't impressed to find out I had kept such an important secret from him. The next day he had come to my room and told me what he thought during the events the previous night. Eisuke stated quite firmly he wanted me to keep no more secrets from and with his tone of voice I knew it would be no good to refuse him. Eisuke promised to help me in my search for my sister and would work even harder, along with the rest of the guys, so that we may win that competition.

I had just arrived at college today with time to spare before classes start, something of a miracle for me; I was pretty chuffed. As I meandered through the halls waiting for class to start I was surprised to see a familiar face come into view.

"Kat? She must be back." Kat must have noticed me as she turned in my direction and with a certain calmness about her she strolled up to me.

"I've been wanting to see you." Kat said, smiling slightly before suddenly I noticed she was smirking, "We are rivals, you and I." She suddenly declared out of the blue leaving me startled.

"Excuse me?" I raised an eyebrow in confusion.

Kat chuckled, "I'm talking about our bands. In the upcoming competition, Crystal Love will be competing too. Making us rivals." She said with a conceited grin.

I gave her a little smile was sighing on the inside. 'Still the same old Kat. Just without all the hate. She reminds me of a certain someone…' Eisuke came to mind. 'Mmm that's it. She's totally a female Eisuke.'

"Are you listening?"

"Huh? Oh, did you say something?" I nervously laughed. A displeased Kat with puffed up cheeks was staring at me.

Kat sighed like I was hopeless, "I was asking you to come over to my place for a sleepover. That is you and the guys."

I flinched in response. Going to Kat's for a sleepover… with them?! "You don't just want it to be us girls?" I awkwardly asked.

Kat shook her head, "Course not. Only Joelle will be able to make it this coming weekend as the other girls have things on and so I decided to make things more interesting I would invite them too." Kat seemed pleased with her idea, her cocky grin covering her face.

I was so close to facepalming at the idea but just stood still and put on my best smile, "Right. Sounds...fun."

"Doesn't it? It's about time I showed you I've changed. So no backing out now. You must come." Kat said rather forcefully leaving me no choice but to accept.

'Definitely still the same Kat…' Still I couldn't complain. This was far better than how things use to be. I could learn to get use to it.

After school that day, I went home to the Villa and told them about Kat's plans that weekend. Only Ota and Baba showed a semblance of excitement for it, but after I told them we'd all be sleeping together in one room they all grew more keen.

It sure would be interesting alright. I didn't know what to expect at a sleepover that involved this group… I may live with them but we all slept in different bedrooms. I wondered what Kat had planned for the weekend.

The week seemed to be over in a flash as I anxiously awaited for the sleepover; partly in excitement and partly in dread.

"Come on you guys. We will be late." Baba said in an upbeat tone and smiling happily. Ota stood next to him with his bag packed and also waiting.

Soryu was deciding on what pajamas he should bring but I didn't see why that was a big deal since they all looked the same… And Eisuke was taking his sweet time getting ready doing who knows what. I had just finished getting ready myself when I went to get Eisuke but stopped in my tracks when I heard him talking in his bedroom.

'It sounds important.' I tried my best to see what was going on but Eisuke was speaking too quiet for me to catch anything. All I knew was Eisuke sounded serious...almost panicked. I hoped everything was okay… I decided to leave Eisuke's room and went to make sure Mamoru was finished. By the time I got Mamoru done everyone was finally ready.

'Sheesh. That felt like preparing a bunch of kids. At least Ota and Baba caused no trouble.' Still I couldn't stop thinking about that phone call. It made feel anxious as I worried it was the start of something bad happening…

We left the Villa and made our way to Kat's place. Just as I expected, Kat's home was even bigger and fancier than her family's Villa. Joelle had already arrived when we got there.

"You finally made it. I was getting worried." Joelle said with a smile as she accompanied me through the halls to where we would all be sleeping that night.

In one corner of the home was a huge open room that had sleeping bags and pillows spread out over the floor.

"You may all pick one." Kat said coming up to us and pointing at the sleeping bags on the floor.

I nodded and headed over to a cute, light blue one with butterflies on it. The guys also picked out one for themselves and after we finished we all sat down.

"So, what are the plans?" Baba asked excitedly, smiling as he glanced between everyone in the room.

"I'm just here to sleep." Mamoru said disinterested in anything else. And then slipped into his sleeping bag and was asleep in moments.

"Mamoru?" Surprised, I looked over Mamoru and gave him a soft nudge but there was no response.

"Anyway, let's play truth or dare." Kat announced with a big but cheeky grin.

I jumped back in horror, "Truth or dare? Are you sure about that?" I asked in a panic, my face one of uncertainty.

Kat nodded all too eagerly, "Of course."

At that moment I felt like dying. I wanted to be saved from this nightmare or even better switch spots with Mamoru and pretend I was sleeping.

"Sounds like fun. It's been a long time since I engaged in a game of truth or dare." Baba said, grinning.

"Who should start?" Ota asked.

With everyone's eyes focused on Kat, we waited for her to pick her first target. This sure would be one hell of a night.
