Kiara stared at the trench coat while listening to Raina. She turned and looked at the purple haired girl.
"It is rather pathetic," she said. "And she doesn't even seem to realise how pathetic she really is."
It was then that she spotted a different coat. It was black leather and went down to her ankles roughly but had no sleeves, a little like a black version of a haori but it had buttons from the waste upwards so the bottom would flare. She smirked. She definitely liked the look of that. She looked around and spotted a purple version which she pointed out to Raina. She knew purple was the girl's favourite colour after all and it wouldn't hurt to point it out even if she didn't get the jacket. Her heart was set on the balck one though.

"You should get that," said Raina. "It's very you. I'm not really that into leather."
She looked around the shop, but knew that the stuff there was more Kiara's thing than hers.
"She is pathetic. Shirley, I mean. I guess that's why I can't stop winding her up and making fun of her..."

"You do it so well too," Kiara commented as she walked over to the counter with the coat in her arms. She thought for a moment before refusing the bag the sales person offered and just put the coat on. It felt nice and warm even without the sleeves and she grinned before picking up a pair of fingerless gloves before paying and leaving the shop with Raina. "You choose the next place."

"I really don't care, I'll shop anywhere," said Raina. She wandered into the shop next door and picked up a few tops she liked.

Kiara shrugged her shoulders before glancing at Raina. She was busy with the clothes so Kiara took the oppertunity to quickly slip out and made her way down the street. She ducked into a nearby shop and quickly bought what she was looking for before slipping back into the shop that Raina was in. Hopefully she hadn't noticed. She hid the smaller bag inside the large one her black knight uniform was in before Raina could see it.

(Sorry I'm so late. We were in Inverness)

Raina was standing at the checkout with a huge stack of clothes. She handed over the credit card her father had given her to keep her out of the way, and bought the lot. The shop keepers were very pleased.
"Let's go back to the school," she said to Kiara. "I think Milly said something about having pizza in the student council room."

"Sounds good to me," Kiara said. Together the two girls made their way back to the campus before dropping off their bags in their room. Raina had entered the bathroom so Kiara took the chance and quickly stashed the smaller bag beneath Raina's pillow.

Raina changed into some of her new clothes, since the ones her step mother had packed weren't exactly to her taste. "Let's go find the others," she said brightly, coming out of the bathroom.

"Sure thing," Kiara said. Together they made their way to the council building. As they entered the meeting room Kiara noticed that the council was all gathered around the table. There were a few pizza boxes in the middle and her stomach growled as she smelt them.

"Hey! Raina! Kiara!" Rivalz waved. "Come have some pizza!"
Suzaku was sitting down reading some sort of very boring looking book and Nina was at the computer. Milly and Rivalz sat at the table (well, Milly sat on the table) eating pizza.
Raina didn't need any more encouragement. She ran forward and stole two slices.

Kiara quickly followed Raina's example and grabbed a couple slices of pizza and dug in hungrilly. She hadn't eaten that morning and by this point her stomach thought that her throat had been cut. She savoured the deliciou spizza as it went down and she grinned at Milly. "Good choice," she commented.

Lelouch and Kallen came in a while later, soon afterwards followed by Shirley.
Shirley refused to meet Raina's eyes.

Kiara smirked as she noticed the orangette enter the room. She glanced at Raina before deciding that she wanted to start things off today. SHe'd need to be careful though. There were a lot of people around after all.
"So Raina," she said conversationally. "Got any plans for tonight?" She noticed the Shirley's eyes immediately moved to Raina whereas before the orangette had been ignoring Raina completely. She was looking forward to seeing exactly what Raina managed to do this time.

"Not really, just the usual, you know?" replied Raina, realising what Kiara was doing. "It's all right though, I've got the stamina for it!" She grinned, and helped herself to another slice of pizza.

"That's good," Kiara commented, grabbing another slice of Pizza. "Is your offer still open from last time?"
She glanced at Shirley out of the corner of her eye and resisted smirking as she saw the orangette's face. This was too fun!

"Of course! You know, I keep telling you you really don't need to ask," said Raina. Shirley went bright, bright red.
"Something wrong, Shirley?" asked Milly. Lelouch looked up from his pizza and SHirley looked away from him quickly.
"N-no..."

"That's good," Kiara said, stretching. "I've been getting a little restless lately." She smirled at Shirley. "Somethin' the matter Inoue?" she teased. The others laughed but Shirley couldn't look at her and Kiara fought back a malicious grin. No wonder Raina found this so much fun!

"Lul... Lelouch," said Shirley, still not meeting anyone's eyes. "Can i have a word with you?"
"With me?" asked Lelouch. "All right, I guess."

'Uh oh,' Kiara thought. She glanced at Raina. That wasn't good.

Raina could only watch Lelouch's innocent expression and attempt to hold in a laugh. He had no idea what was coming.
Shirley and Lelouch both got up and left the room. Milly sighed. "So she's finally going to confess, is she?"
"Who knows?" said Raina lightly.

Kiara looked at Raina. She wondered idly what Lelouch was going to do when he came back into the room and what Shirley was going to tell him. She stretched and yawned before finishing the slice of Pizza she was currently eating and then decided to turn on the TV to see if anything interesting was on. She didn't know how long Shirley and Lelouch would be gone after all and just waiting around wasn't any fun.

Raina sat down in front of the TV, and a few minutes later, Lelouch came back in looking terribly confused.
"What happened?" asked Milly playfully.
"To be honest, I'm not entirely sure," Lelouch admitted. "She asked me if I wanted to go to a concert this weekend, and then said something about forgiving me for my terrible faults. I asked if by that she meant the gambling, but she just went bright red and said she knows what I do at night time..."

Kiara pretended to watch the TV while at the same time trying to control her laughter. She looked at him out of the corner of her eye and just about choked at the confused experssion on his face. On the other hand she was annoyed at Shirley but she pushed that to the back of her mind for now. Lelouch's expression was just too funny!

"Oooooh do you have some dirty secret that I don't know about, Lelouch?" asked Milly.
"Not that I know of, President," said Lelouch, still confused.
"Hmm, well I'll just ask Shirley later," said the President. "She's obviously found some kind of sirt on you."
"Um... President..." said Suzaku. "Why are you so interested?"

Kiara was almost shaking with laughter by this point. She tried desperately to control it and somehow managed to calm herself down. She turned from the TV and looked at Milly, trying desperately to not look at lelouch's confused face.
"Yes Milly, why're you so interested?" she asked. She turned her head to look at Raina. "You know anything about this Rai?"
