AN: oh yes…and when Sora/Kanda talks in Japanese, it will be kind of like

“ ...” Is how they’re going to say it. Anyway…R&R!

~~~~~~~~~~~One Caged bird~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As Sora gracefully landed on kanda’s surprisingly plush floor, she took note of a-

“ A lotus?”

She closed her eyes, remembering that tattoo she saw in his chest.

A ghost of a memory hovered in her mind, but it was enough.

“ Whoops?”

Sora laughed nervously. ‘ I guess I forgot about that…’

Congrats, Kanda, you’re secret was just blown out into the open by the very same girl who kicked your ass and climbed into your room.

Silence.

Suddenly, Sora started laughing. “ Oh my gawd! This totally looks like the Japanese version of beauty and the beast!”

More laughter came from the raven-headed girl…

Until the door busted open by an extremely angry samurai.

“ Eek?”

“ DIE!”

Still laughing, Sora raced out of the bedroom, followed by kanda, who was uttering extremely gory death threats in Japanese.

…Of course, it didn’t help that Sora tossed the occasional Japanese cuss over her shoulder.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~One Caged bird~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Skrich, scraaatttchh.

Sora nodded in satisfaction at her finished sketch of her and kanda.

The picture was of a dead, bleeding Kanda, with her standing to the side, her face splattered with blood and on her finger… was a red butterfly. (AN: in Japan, there is a superstition that a red butterfly was actually someone’s spirit.) She turned to another page, but-

Knock, knock.

She hurriedly hid the sketchbook that she had begged Reever for the day before, along with her fitting of her exorcist uniform.

“ Come in.”

Allen entered, his hair mussed, but his smile firmly in place.

“ Hello…I wanted to talk to you?”

Sora tilted her head. “ Offical or unofficial?”

“ Unofficial, preferably.”

“…20 questions?”

“ Pardon?”

Sora grinned. “ It’s a game to know about people. Like their favorite colors, hobbies, whatnot.”

“ Err ok?”

Poor Allen.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~One caged bird~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sora hunted the new shelves of the dark order.

“ Where is it, where is it…”

“ You need something, Sora-chan?”

Sora yelped and accidently let go of the extremely high shelf…and crashed on Lavi.

“ In all of the things holy, don’t scare me like that!”

“ What? I thought you needed help, Sora-chan!”

“ I do! Just get out of the way next time, Lavi!”

Lavi sighed dramatically, and then helped the raven up.

“ It’s not like I minded a pretty girl like you falling on someone like me.”

Sora lifted her eyebrows, but let it go. “ Riiigghht…anyway, I’m looking for the book Alice in wonderland, and through the looking glass and what she found there.”

Lavi blinked. “ But that’s a kids story…and it was written by a English dude.”

“ I know that. I still like it.”

“Ok…”

“ I wouldn’t mind having Macbeth and twelfth night, either.”

Lavi almost fell over. What an odd girl. First requesting Kid’s tales, then nightmarish books like Macbeth? And all from English authors? What was the world coming to?

“ Not Romeo and Juliet?”

“ Nope. Saw it a jillion times, I don’t want to relive it.”

“ Oh.” Was the jr. bookman’s brilliant response.

“ Yeahhh.”

~~~~~~~~~~One caged bird~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sora grinned as she skipped merrily to the training area…once again, much to the anger of the other Japanese teen.

“ Oh, leave off, Mr. grumpy pants.” Sora said lightly in her home language.

“ Then stop being so damn cheerful.” Kanda snapped at her.

“ Well, at least I care what the hell I show on the surface. My freaking’ emotions are my own business, you know.”

“ Whatever, just take off that disgustingly fake smile of yours. It looks like that stupid beansprouts.”

“ I know that, Baka. All it matters to either of us is the fact that most people are fooled by it.

With that, Sora left the angry but rather confused Samurai and climbed the way to the level three boot camp training.

Humming under her breath, she lightly leaped from stick to stick, grasped A 120 pound ball and threw herself around it, then jumped the distance to the real training, where random spikes surrounded her and moved in random places, in which she simply jumped and her foot would hit the smooth side of it, the tune enabling her to see where it would come next, using the slight vibrations that she was making by using her humming. Next came a poison-coated net, which she blasted away with a short burst of song.

Next one came the really hard part, in which she grabbed the special gun she had begged from komui when the science department.

There were illusions of level one akuma, which fired bullets, in which the area would be like actual akuma bullets.

She danced deftly between the 15 that where her opponents, all the while singing:

“I fly like paper, get high like planes

If you catch me at the border I got visas in my name

If you come around here, I make 'em all day

I get one down in a second if you wait,”

I fly like paper, get high like planes

If you catch me at the border I got visas in my name

If you come around here, I make 'em all day

I get one down in a second if you wait,”

“Sometimes I think sitting on trains

Every stop I get 'till I'm clocking that game

Everyone's a winner we're making our fame

Bonafide hustler making my name,”

“Sometimes I think sitting on trains

Every stop I get 'till I'm clocking that game

Everyone's a winner we're making our fame

Bonafide hustler making my name,”

“All I wanna do is-“ In which she would fire her special gun at the akuma, charged with the same thing that she charged the sword she fought kanda with.

“And a-“ ( reload)

“And take your money!”

“All I wanna do is (BANG BANG BANG!)

And a (reload)

And take your money”

All I wanna do is (BANG BANG BANG BANG!)

And a (KKKAAAA CHING!)

And take your money

“All I wanna do is (BANG BANG BANG BANG!)

And a (KKKAAAA CHING!)

And take your money”

“Pirate skulls and bones

Sticks and stones and weed and bones

Running when we hit 'em

Lethal poison for their system”

“Pirate skulls and bones

Sticks and stones and weed and bones

Running when we hit 'em

Lethal poison for their system”

“No one on the corner has swagga like us

Hit me on my banner prepaid wireless

We pack and deliver like UPS trucks

Already going hard just pumping that gas”

"No one on the corner has swagger like us

“M.I.A.

Third world democracy

Yeah, I got more records than the K.G.B.

So, uh, no funny business

YOU ARE ALREADY ARE!”

“Some some some I some I murder

Some I some I let go

Some some some I some I murder

Some I some I let go”

“All I wanna do is (BANG BANG BANG BANG!)

The illusions, and she hopped off the stairs lightly, ignoring the impressed looks that the other exorcists gave her.

Waving to Allen, she went off to the cafeteria to eat her precious food, unaware of a Japanese’s teen growing respect.
