"Oh yeah, it's nothing," said Raina, sitting down on the table and kicking her legs out.
Shirley, in tears, ran from the room.
"What's wrong with her?" asked Milly.
"I think she's going through some heartbreak," Raina whispered in her ear. "Because of, you know... him." It wasn't technically a lie.

Kiara excused herself from the room and, as soon as the door was shut, she burst into hysterical laughter. She managed to get herself under control and took a few deep breaths before she returned to the room. Not much had changed since she'd been out and she was glad that Shirley was now gone.
"So," she said, sitting at the table and looking over to Milly. "Anything new or interesting happening this week Madam President?"

"No, we've got enough on our plates sorting out this society budget," said Milly. "Good thign we've got Lelouch working on it, right?"
"Ever the slave driver," muttered Lelouch, hunched over some papers.

Kiara smirked at him.
"What's the matter Lelouch?" she asked easily. "What's got you in such a grump?"
Lelouch gave her a look before returning to the papers and Kiara smirked at him. She wondered what the meeting would be about tonight.

When it was a lot later, Raina decided to take a detour on her way back to the dorm in order to get some fresh air. While she was out by the gate, a woman approached her. She had tanned skin, silver hair, and golden eyes. She looked very official and walked like a soldier.
"Excuse me, do you know this boy?" she asked, holding up a picture of Lelouch. How on earth did she have a picture of him? Did she suspect he was Zero? How much did she know?
"No, I don't, sorry," said Raina, and she continued on her way to the dorm.

As Raina entered the dorm Kiara looked up from where she'd been sitting on her bed. She hadn't been doing much and her Toshiro plushie was beside her. She tilted her head curiously as she looked at Raina.
"You're later than usual," she commented, stretching out before slipping off the bed. "Why's that?"

"I ran into some woman outside," said Raina. "She was looking for Lelouch..." She got ready for bed, still wondering exactly what that woman suspected.

"Any idea why?" Kiara asked. She yawned and climbed back into bed. It was late and she had a feeling that tomorrow would be busy. Lelouch had called a meeting after all.

"No... I hope she hasn't found anything out, though," said Raina. "If they were to find out that he's Zero... things would not be good."
She slipped into bed and set the alarm she hated so that she'd be up in time for the meeting - which meant getting up early on a saturday.

"Agreed," Kiara muttered. "We can worry about that later. We can ask Lelouch about it tomorrow or, if he's not found yet, we can warn him."
She snuggled deep into her covers and hugged her plushie. She'd need to get Raina something.

Raina awoke to the sound of her annoying alarm which very quickly ended up on the floor, and quickly got up and dressed. She dressed in normal casual clothes, packing her black knights uniform in a bag. "We're taking the rail today," she said firmly. "I am not walking."

"Okay," Kiara yawned. She got out of bed and pulled on a set of casual clothes before packing her black knight stuff in a bag like Raina and the two set off. They woke Kallen and she did the same before the three left the ashford grounds.

The rail wasn't too crowded, since it was still quite early, but there were quite a few people. It wasn't far to the HQ, and they managed to find a place to change before going in to the meeting.

The other Black Knights greeted them as they entered and Kiara nodded her head to them. Lelouch was sitting down and she cast a quick glance at him before she took a seat oposite him next to Kallen and Raina.
"So," she said, deciding to open up the discussion. "What is this meeting about?"

"We got a letter from the 6 houses of Kyoto," said Ougi. "They want to meet us."
"Is that such a big deal?" asked Zero/Lelouch.
"A big deal? it's Kyoto!" exclaimed Kallen.
"Yeah, if we get support from them our money problems will be -"
"Money problems?" asked Zero. "I was under the impression that we had plenty, if we stuck to my budget."
Everyone looked at Tamaki.
"Well don't look at me!" he said. "We're a huge organisation now. More people means more expenses -"
"- including all of the huge dinners you've been treating the new recruits to, Mr Big Shot?" asked Kallen sarcastically.

*Hehe, I swear I know this series off by heart ^^*

(I think you do and I know Bleach almost completely off by heart -grins-)

Kiara rolled her eyes before smacking Tamaki up-side the head. He winced before glaring at her. He was about to say something before she hit him again.
"Zip it!" she told him. He didn.
"Now," she said, turning to Lelouch/Zero. "When and where are we going to meet these Kyoto people?"

(I can remember this part sort of! It's where Lelouch takes off his mask but none of the black knights see it right?)

"Firstly," said Zero. "We'll have Ougi take care of the money from now on."
"Hey, I've always handled the money!" said Tamaki, jumping out of his seat.
"If you want me to trust you, you'll have to show that you're trustworthy."
"Look who's talking! You won't even show your own comrades your face! How about it Zero?"
"Wait a minute..." said Ougi.
Kallen stood up. "It doesn't matter who Zero really is! HWith his help we defeated Cornelia! What more could you possibly ask?"

"Enough already!" Kiara snapped at them. She was getting a headache. She knew getting up this morning was a bad idea. "Geez! You're acting like a bunch of spoilt kids!" She glared hard at Tanaki who flinched under her gaze before she turned to look at Zero. "So," she said. "When do we leave for Kyoto?"

"They said they'd send a car for us tomorrow," said Ougi.
"Very well. Myself, Ougi, Tamaki, Kallen, Kiara and Raina shall be the ones going," said Lelouch/Zero. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have some work to do."
He got up and went into one of the rooms.
"Yay, we get to go to Kyoto!!!" said Raina to Kiara.

Kiara grinned. Something told her that this meeting was going to be very interesting. She looked at Raina and Kallen.
"So," she said off handedly. "What do we do with the rest of the day?" It was still pretty early after all.

"I'm... going to go check on Zero," said Kallen, with a slight blush.
"Let's go shopping, Kiara!!!" exclaimed Raina. "We haven't been shopping since we got our costumes for the party!"

"Alright," Kiara said. They changed into their normal clothes before leaving the hide out Kiara changed back into her black jeans, knee high boots and her favourite T-shirt which was a dark blue with a chinese like silver dragon with red yees on the front. On the back was the kanji for 'snow'. They weren't too far away from a few good shops.

"Hey, Kiara, what do you think of Shirley?" asked Raina lightly as they walked down the street, looking at the shops.

"My rant would probably last until next week," Kiara commented. "But in a nut shell...she's one of the most annoying people I've ever met in my ENTIRE life!"
Something caught Kiara's eye and she turned to see a black long trench coat. Hmmm.....
"Mind if we go in here for a bit?" she asked Raina.

Raina raised an eyebrow at the trench coat. "Not my style, but sure."
She walked into the shop. "I hate Shirley," she said flatly. "It makes me sick every time I look at her. And it's not because of her preferences when it comes to Bleach characters and pairings. Her whole life revolves around one boy. Her whole life. She's got nothing individual. She lives solely for him. A weak person." She wasn't often this serious about something, but she just felt like she had to let it out. "
