It had been awhile since she had met with her old friend and she was a little nervous, She had changed some in that time. She had gained more confidence and her powers were under better control now. Still her old friend had seemed sad on the phone and she did want to help cheer her up. So she had left the mansion and called a taxi to make it over to kasumi's address. She had been worried about the long silence between them and knew she was in part to blame for it. She had not called since she got back into the country, of course few had called her at all in the past week or so since she had come back.

Shana was unsure if they would be doing anything and as such wore a simple black fitted t-shirt and jeans, her hair was down but curled, a look she was still trying to decide if she liked. She was just Happy the Taxi drivers paid her no mind as she went. Politely paying the driver, she slipped out and checked to make sure the address was right. She mentally cursed at herself for forgetting that detail before she got out. Still it was correct, so she shrugged and was glad it was on the first floor and in a nice neighborhood.

She walked to the door with a light smile on her face. Excited to meet up with kausmi again she wanted to do her best to make her friend feel happy. Checking her hair quickly, she knocked on the door and politely awaited a response. She saw a cat laying on the nearby window sil, and smiled at it. She liked animals and cats were one of her favorites. She had a pair of bird's but the birds were to terrified to let anyone hold them from one to many night time accidents.

Kasumi has moved again this time to her own place, she has kept away form alot of people. But she was stuned when Shana called her. It made Kasumi happy to hear a voice that she knows. Ah the voice of a friend that is willing to keep with her. Her place is done with dragons and things like that. Very neat and clean with books and paintings that she did and got form people. Soon she hears the knock having on a tank top with jeans she has bear feet with her long red hair up in a bun with two hair sticks.

Having on green make up bringing her eyes out even more. She will soon hear the knock on the door her cat will jump down rubbing her mommy's legs. Kasumi will smile and pick her cat up opening the door "Shana it is so nice to see you!" Soon she hugs Shana with her free arm as the cat purrs all happy like. Being just a happy little cat. She soon sits her cat down Kasumi seems more toned now with the work outs that she has been doing.

She does look a little tired but all in all she is ok. Kasumi seems to be lighting up now she has had a very hard time. Still some what lost in her life she has no idea what to do, so much has happened in such little time. But Kasumi hopes she can grow form this to become a better person. Kasumi will back awya "Welcome to my home." She smiles more putting her cat down that now rubs Shana's leg wanting loves form her now. The kitty meows as she walks around just talking.

Shana hugged back and looked around the apartment. It looked nice and certainly reflected her friends heritage and interests. "it is nice to see you as well" she said her own eyes done in a soft shade of pink. She kneeled down to pet the cat and could not help but think of the chaos the cat might cause with her two birds. She reconsidered on the basis it might give them hear attacks. "Thank you, your home is lovely" she said taking another glance around

"I just got back into town, was back home for a few months, so now im staying at the mansion again" she said. The place was ok, but still made her uncomfortable but it was a nice place to practice her powers. "Finnaly stopped my powers from working while i sleep to" she said, having found out the issue was actually happening when she was mostly asleep or blinking, as she did need sight to make things float any ware.

"How about you?" She asked her voice cracking slightly though it returned to normal quickly. "You sounded pretty sad on the phone" she said trying to get it out thare so kasummi did not need to. In truth the act made her feel uncomfortable, as she was still more prone to hide in whatever she lived in and stick to the internet. Her fears of other people had gone down quite a bit but old habits died hard and Shana had never made friends to easily. Sos he was glad when she was able to keep one for any length of time.

Kaumi looking at Shana as she smiles more. Soon Thai purrs as he leans into the pets when the had is took away he will just flop over and meows at her. Kasumi will smile to her cat picking him up soon she looks back to Shana “Well Shin and I broke up a while ago.. I have been kind of tore up form that. I mean everything that could go wrong did.” Soon she will sigh to herself looking down. Soon shaking her head as she sighs to herself why did it happened? She still does not know but why even think about it?

Soon she will lead Shana into her living room as she smiles more “So what do you want to do?” Even there is some pain behind her smile but at the least she is smiling. Kasumi had everything set up right it looks very nice it looked like she put so much work into this. Kasumi sits down soon Thai is in her lap Soon Kasumi smiles patting her cat.

Kasumi looks to Shana “So you are doing better with your powers that is good. With my own I can use them when I want to not only when I am scared.” Being very proud over that using her poisons when she wants to. It was a hard rode “Also my fighting skills are a lot better now.” Kasumi still petting her cat as he purrs very loud all happy like with his eyes half way closed now.

"break up's are always hard, but we have to move on as well. He obviously failed to appreciated the beautiful woman that you are" she said with a smile. It was true, kasumi was quite attractive to the eye. She sat down as well. "Men tend to be fools after all" she said trying to be comforting to her. In the back of her mind Shana quipped 'she should know'. Keeping that comment to herself she shrugged when asked whare she wanted to go. Shana was not sure whare they should go, she was still a bit nervous in public.

"What do you want to do? We could hit the mall and catch something to eat" she suggested a bit quietly. She was a bit hungry she realized. "We could catch a movie as well" she said. It had been some time since she had done either. "Just remember, your smart and pretty and their are many men out thare, one will be smart enough o spot an angel" she said hoping to make Kasumi feel better, though she actually felt this way as well.

Shana herself had not had a date in years. She had always been to nervous or some had even outright rejected her upon finding out what she really was inside. She tugged on a blue strand of hair as she looked around, unsure what else to say. "It's been a long time since i had any dates" she admitted hoping it would comfort Kausmi to know others sometimes went some time without a lover. Still she did her best to keep a happy attitude with her.

Looking at Shana soon she nods to her “Thank you so much.” Hearing more what is being said Kasumi soon has a light blush on her cheeks as she nods “Well I am not sure about men anymore... I mean most end up in heart brake but there is hope?” She shakes her head softly soon she looks to Shana as she smiles. Still a light blush on her cheeks.

Soon Kasumi shakes her head “Dates they do not mean anything anymore I mean a person can have a lot of dates and still not love the person... Just to spend time with them that is all.” Soon Kasumi nods to Shana “That sounds like fun I have not been out for such a long time.” She will blush some more “Well if the people can not see how wounder full you are then they are blind also. I mean what is the point of people if they can not see who you really are?”

Soon Kasumi hugs Shana “Does not matter does it?” Looking at Shana giving her a smile as she keeps the hug “Do not worry no matter what we will have each other.” At the least she has one person in this world that will not give up on her. Kasumi is just feeling better with Shana around her. It always made Kasumi wounder so much more about Shana but she would ask her in time.

"it was her turn to blush and Kasumi complimented her, something that did not happen often. "Thats true" she said though in truth she wanted a date, simply because it meant somebody cared and was interested in that way. See who she really was? Right that was the very thing she did not want to happen. She had spent a life time running away from what most considered the real her. "Y-Yea, me neither to be honest" she said which was quite true. It had Been months since she had really gone outside much more then she had to.

"So if your not sure about men, how do you feel about girls?" she said with a giggle and a playful wink. She meant only fun of it and to distract from her brief stutter earlier. As Kasumi hugged her, she hugged back "No it does not" she said. She was comforted by Kausmi's words however. "That is true, friends can always help us through out tough times" she said. She believed friends should protect each other from anything they could.

"So what do you want to do first" she said, honestly not sure what Kausmi wanted do to first. She wanted to leave it free for kasumi to choose to help distract her from the rough time she had been having. She was happy Kasumi was still around and glad that she was safe, though she hoped she could over shin, she had met the man once, he had seemed nice she recalled, but love though the best of shields was often a cruel dagger.

Kasumi looks at Shana blushing some more “Really I am not sure anymore. I mean love is love no matter what sex they are.. That is what my mom and dad told me.” Soon she thinks more as she nods something “How about something to eat?” A true happy smile comes to her lips aw it is so nice to see her smile. Soon Kasumi lets go of Shana “I will be right back.”

Kasumi will walk into her room she will take off her tank pulling out a halter top that is black tyeing it around her neck then her back showing off her angel wings that she has. Down her spin in Japanese Kanji it says fallen angel. She spent around none to ten hours getting this but it is time to show it off. Well worth the pain she thinks. Soon walking out smileing showing Shana her back “I got this after Shin and I broke up... The Kanji says Fallen Angel.”

Kasumi thought that it fit her will form what happened to her. People always seems to think that she is an angel. So Kasumi got the wings to show that she is well one, she does not know why but the wings are not white they are black with grays in it making the wings stand out on her back. Kasumi will soon turn around smiling holding her hand out to Shana “Shall we go?” Seeming a lot more happy now she has always liked Shana so much. No matter how sad Kasumi felt Shana has always been there for her.

"it's cute" she said upon seeing the tank top. "And a bite to eat sounds good as well" she said honestly. She was not a fan of Tattoos herself but she knew that many people did like them. "very nice" she said having no idea how long one even took, much less on the more complicated ones. "But it does show you can move on and you'l meet someone new, perhaps before you know it." she said with a smile. "I am not sure about the fallen part though" she said jokingly.

Looking over the wing's in more detail they looked more like a raven's wing's but she was unsure how angel wings were suppose to look other then bird like. "Lead the way?" she said as Kasumi asked her about going. She Liked being with Kausmi, being with others tended to make her feel better because she not only felt apart of the group but felt more protected.

"so what are you in the mood for?" she asked not terribly picky about her food. Reaching back she gathered her hair and tied most of it back in a simple pony tail. the rest was left to fall over her shoulders. She was going to let kausmi lead the way,as she wanted it to be special day for her after all. "do you drive?" she asked curiously unsure or unable to recall if her friend could drive, she knew she lacked a permit for it herself however.
