Kira was resting in the catacombs when she found out some news that sure didn't set well with her. She stared at the screen of her phone, reading the words over and over again. Well someone sure fucked up that family name, she knew which one they meant but then there was her own family name, Mama on down. She put her phone in her pocket, staring now at the man who had also rested near her. She was always wary of people who decide to stop near you. Then there was also the personal bounties, always wondering if someone was desperate enough to go after you for it. It was just a time to be wary of everyone.
She pushed off the wall and took off towards the exit, her mind racing.
'The time is now..'
Kira ignored Warrior's voice as she slipped through the doors of the train, heading home. As soon as the doors opened, she was on the move again. Anger was growing. She was trying to keep a clear head, trying to stay calm.
She stopped moving when she got to her room, looking down at the mood nail polish. It only had two moods, calm which was purple, and wild which was pink. It always stayed wild after she applied it. She moved over to get a change of clothes before going back downstairs and entered the spa room before entering the bathroom. She tossed the clothes aside, resting her back on the door as she locked it.
'Dark Lady, Dark Lady...the time is now.'
Ignoring the nagging voice again, Kira turned on the water for the shower. She started the process of taking off her clothes, tossing various weapons onto the counter. Slowly the room filled with steam from the running water, before the mirror was fogged over she saw Warrior's red hair. She quickly moved under the water, the water she used was always rather hot and as she washed the grime from the catacombs away, her mind thought on the problem at hand.
Her family and friends were both targets. Her eyes narrowed. Peace. This is what happened when one just wanted to be left alone? To be outed as aiding them. The anger grew stronger.
She ran her fingers through her hair, making sure all the shampoo was gone before turning off the water. She ran a towel over her hair before wrapping it around her body, moving towards the mirror.
'Kaley Lynn Trodaí!'
"What!?" Kira yelled. She placed her hand on the mirror, wiping the fog away so she could see herself. "I am Kira Kerr...and I'm going to kill them all."
'We're back...'
Kira frowned, "And I thought once I was back to normal I'd be rid of you." she said, the image in the mirror flickered from blonde to red, to blonde again.
'Not a chance...you still need me to keep your mind clear on the whole male issues in your life.'
"Easy, don't trust them." Kira replied as she finished getting dressed, and started the process of putting all her weapons back where they belonged.
'Good girl..'
"Not important right now. I must warn the family." Kira said, unlocking the door and quickly headed back out into the night.

August 2nd, 2012
Kira hadn't bothered with whatever else that had been said on the matter of her family's name being ran through the mud. She just didn't care what so called family had to say. She didn't have the patience for it. Her focus had been completely on taking part on taking down the man that started it. Even though she had gone to the meeting that would plan the raid on the compound, her hope had been short lived. The second meeting that was to happen, never came to pass, another group went in and killed off the family.
She was left unsatisfied, full of rage. She had returned to normal but had no outlet for her drive to fight.
Back to old habits...
Kira moved down towards the run down building near her home. Her head was lowered as she made her way over to the gangster over to the wall. He must have thought she was there for drugs. He had pushed off the wall and had started to pull out a package from his coat pocket.
She grinned, she filled his mind with images that confused and distracted him. The gangster recovered and his movements were quick, trying to cut her but she stepped back, the blade inches from her face.
Kira's grinned widened, as she pulled back her arm. Her bladed tonfa was flesh with her arm. She swung out with a few strikes. Blood covered the blade now as she cut open his arm. The gangster came into reach again, Kira moved the blade in again and blood spilled out from the gangster's stomach. He soon fell to the floor.
"Aw An Ceann Mharu, finally got to use you." Kira said to the tonfa. She had wanted to use it on David but it had been fun enough just to cover him in pink and purple paint.
Kira spent the next half hour finding other gangsters to kill. "So you guys thought it be wise to hire someone to kill me? Hmm?" she said to the last one. It was still highly amusing to her. She left that one as well to bleed to death. She wiped off the blood from the blade of her tonfa on the man's pant leg before slipping the sheath over it. She could then hide it better that way.
"Well David, have fun with all these new cases." she muttered as she headed back home to spend some time with her punching bag.

August 3rd, 2012
Kira had her arms crossed, her fingers drumming on her arm as she stared at the selection.
"Can I help you?" the shop keeper asked.
Kira only looked at him for a second. "I want you to deliver this one to my house." she said.
"We don't deliver.."
Kira looked at him, "Oh I think you do." she said, touching his arm, her scent growing stronger. Soon the shop keeper was much more agreeable. She handed him the address and the money before heading back to her second home, which was with Lexy.
Once home, she sent a text to Puppet to come to her as well.
She sat down on the steps, waiting for her new toy to show up. The shop keeper showed up with shiny new motorcycle (LED Lights) and parked it on the side walk. He gave the keys to Kira before heading back to his shop.
Puppet stopped at the motorcycle before heading towards the house. "What's up?" he asked.
Kira stood up, "Need you to teach me how to ride that." she said, pointing the cycle. He was the only one she could think of. "Well, and the maintenance stuff for it."
Puppet raised an eyebrow and looked back at it. "How did you get it here? Walked it here?" he asked.
"No, sweet talked the shop keeper to bring it here." Kira replied.
"Why a motorcycle? Why not a car?" Puppet asked.
"Because I could kill a lot of people with a car." Kira said simply. "I don't know how to work either one.." Her mind drifted off to what Warrior had done to someone's car when she had been in control. "And...I think I would have other issues with a car.." she added.
Puppet stared at her, debating on if he should say what he was thinking. "Don't you kill people anyway..?" he said.
Kira rolled her eyes. "Hitting them with a car wouldn't help me and it would damage the car, now wouldn't it." she snapped.
Puppet put his hands up, "Alright, alright." he said, moving away just in case she wanted to hit him. "Take it you have...gone back to normal.." he said, she hadn't been this short with him for awhile.
"Yes.."
"Does anyone else know?"
"Not yet.." Kira replied, "But David and Jarrett should be finding out soon enough.." she added as she moved towards the cycle.
"Wouldn't it be easier to start off with something that doesn't have a motor?" Puppet asked, which just made Kira glare at him. "Fine, fine. How much gas does it have?" he said, looking it over.
"....Whatever it has left..?" Kira said, she should have told the shop keeper to fill it up before bringing it over.
Puppet rubbed his face, "I'll make a list of things you are going to need to take care of it properly later.." he said. He held out his hand for the keys. Kira handed them over and he walked over to the cycle to turn it on, explaining how one would ride it but most of it was going to have to be hands on.
After awhile Kira was getting bored, "Alright, alright, I want to try.." she said impatiently. "Do try not to grab anything you aren't suppose to." she added as she revved up the engine.
"Well do try not to get us killed. You might come back but I won't!" Puppet said, he did not want to be along for the ride.
Kira tapped her chin with her index finger. "Want to pick out which of your brothers shall be your replacement?" she asked.
"Kira!" Puppet protested but she had kicked the stand aside and drove off. He hoped he wouldn't be hit just for holding her waist. "Slow down unless you want speeding tickets added to your criminal record."
Kira wasn't sure if she even had a record. She didn't truly exist in this world, she had no papers. And any crimes she was adding up, she wasn't never truly charged because she never went to court. Arrest warrant had been issued at one time but other than that, any other time she went to jail, she left a decoy behind and got away. They would be left empty cell if she created more elsewhere or if they got too rough with it, it simply went boom and they got dumbed down a bit.
"I think a speeding ticket would be far more easier to talk my way out of then a bloodied up body." Kira replied. "And they would have to catch me first now wouldn't they."
Puppet groaned, "Let me off. I don't want to die and I'm being wiped to death by your hair!" he complained.
Kira thought about pushing the man off but she was nice and slowed down as they got to the casino. "Fine." she said.
Puppet quickly got off. "Would suggest a helmet.." he said.
"I'll think about it.." Kira replied, it would at least hide her face if she was being chased by the cops. She revved the engine again and took off with a grin.
Puppet stared after her and shook her head. It would figure the woman would like speed.

"Oh so you go a proper speed for the cat but you won't for me." Puppet complained as Kira pulled up on her motorcycle.
Sof was sitting right behind the 'windshield' of the cycle, complete with a cat leather jacket and helmet.
Kira took off the helmet that match her bike. "Sof likes the ride for some reason.." she said, "I'll go faster with her once I get the harness which will keep her right where she is."
Sof was purring and meowed. Kira took off the clothes from Sof who then jumped off and ran inside the house.
Kira got off the bike and pushed it up towards the house, making sure it was protected before heading inside. "Why are you over here anyway? Shouldn't you be at the casino or...that one club?" she asked. "I know you must enjoy your time away from me." she added with a grin.
Puppet stared, "I...ah..." he wasn't about to fall into that trap. "There's a couple of packages that came in for you...have you taken up ordering things online?"
Kira raised an eyebrow. "So much stuff on there." she said, "BUT this is different." she added, running off into the house. She ducked under the swing of Mshangao, who then ran upstairs as if it figured she would head up there soon enough, she however went to the table and picked up her packages.
She opened up one that was soft and took out a brilliant white wig, the next package that was solid held a box that had contacts in it that glowed white.
"Playing dress up now?" Puppet said which made Kira glare at him.
"This is so people stop saying Britney Spears killed the gangsters." Kira growled at him. She settled down, "Wonder if Dru has started on the outfit." she said, looking upstairs, knowing that damn Fadebeast was waiting for her. "Puppet...why don't you go first..?"
"Oh hell no. Not going near them not that they like humans." Puppet said, refusing firmly.
"Oh fine.." Kira muttered, running up the stairs, jumping up onto the wall and pushed off, leaping over the fadebeast. She touched the ground and took off for her room to put the items away. "All fun in and games until it manages to get a hold of me.." she said, eyeing the one in the corner of her room. It just was happy being there with her handcuffs.
She went back to the door, looking for Mshangao. She picked up the list of things that needed to be fixed, mostly thanks to the Fadebeasts 'pets'. She sighed softly. Another reason to go into Dru's room anyway. She headed across the hall into Dru's room, gathering up some tools to start on her fix it list.

Marital Status? Complicated as hell.
David showed me the paperwork for our marriage. By all laws, I guess...we're married. I don't understand why he went through all that trouble to trap me like this. Vegas? Really? I don't remember a damn thing. Reese (John) and his wife was there as the witnesses. Notes in my hand writing that I wasn't tricked, that getting married to him was what I wanted, passed drug tests so I can't really say I was drugged. The drug he used wouldn't show up in that, and he knows it. Damn cop thought of everything.
There's still something he isn't telling me.
Though seems I can have Windy as my Consort, not that I meant that's what I wanted when I said I could still play with the human. As jealous as David has gotten before...might have to test if he truly means that or I'm not going to be allowed to be with anyone because of his entrapment. Not that I'm really all that interested in any kind of relationship, seems to be far too much trouble to bother with.
At least David gave me some nice sharp objects.
And of course Mama has a problem with her daughters being with a white man. Which has to be the only reason why she approves of David...guess Windy will learn to stay away if she's around.

Sugarcube, Sugarcookie...What is up with these pet names of his for me?
I took off his leg. An Ceann Mharu seems to be a good weapon, though kept missing Mama. Did mange to take off her hand but seems she fixed that already. Somehow this was going to make 'feel love'. Nope, that didn't do it. I felt better once I took off her hand though.
I enjoyed what Lexy said.
Alexandrea says: "~sneers at David~ For someone who claims to know his `wife`, you are sorly lacking in knowing how to make her happy."
I said of course he doesn't know how to make me happy. We were on one fake date and then he decides to trick me into a marriage. Hasn't even told his moms about his marriage. Isn't that part of the whole married thing, meeting the family...though think that was suppose to happen prior to the marriage.

I swear David is living in his own little world. Hears things that he wants to hear that's for sure...wait, no...why would he want me to kiss him. Alright, maybe something is wrong with him. If it wasn't for the whole vampire thing I would say he was brain damaged.
Dru said something about seeing if I could get drunk, then maybe he would stand a chance with me. He said he don't do drunks. So Lexy says drink up.
And he sure words things badly. Asks if I want a kiss. I of course say no but he ended up having a large dark chocolate kiss. He was being a jerk about it but I got it in the end. Score.
August 22nd, 2012
Kira finished her fix-it list (again) which she had broken up into different tasks depending on what type it was. Fixing doors, fixing floors, fixing lights, and the list went on. She muttered lightly as she eyed the fadebeast in the kitchen. "Shined my silverware yet?" she asked as she opened the fridge. It just growled and hovered over the silverware more. "Fine, those are yours. Leave the nice ones alone." she said.
Her green eyes fell on a container of red liquid.
"What are you doing here?" Puppet's voice said.
Kira looked over at him, "I live here for one. One of few anyway.." she said. "What's up with this?"
"Blood from a butcher shop. A just in case. Well if you can it anyway." Puppet replied. "Puts a whole different meaning to having a cold one."
Kira picked up the container and sat at the table. She sniffed at it before taking a good sip from it. "Blood is blood to me. Though the only problem I see with this setup is the clotting.." she said, she never had blood that made her go, oh that's good blood. She only needed it survive, that is all.
Puppet frowned, "Forgot about that. Okay, so its a work in progress. If blood is blood, how do you feel about vampires feeding on vampires.." he said.
Kira sighed, "Some of their excuses as to why they are doing it is complete ********." she said. "I agree with some of the others about the fact if they want to help humans then this wasn't the route to go. It just makes the vampire who was fed on, feed yet again. So if they find a willing person, whatever, but it doesn't mean they are saving any humans of the pain of waking up in an unknown place."
"So I suppose I truly don't care as long as find someone who is willing but I don't agree with their motives for it. If they truly wanted to help humans then they should have gone with animals or blood bags.." she said, she tapped her chin. "Now if I could just get blood from the gangsters I kill then it would save a lot of trouble.."
"You sure have some screwed up views." Puppet said, "Don't like killing needlessly but all the gangsters you kill.."
"Its the fight I'm after. Thought I can't seem to stop before they end up dead...like the guards and cops.." she said with a frown, she didn't want to fight them, they were after all doing their job but instead of knocking them out, the fight just goes on and they end up dead. "Though I can at least say I never killed someone by feeding."
She stood up, "Anyway, good try. Maybe...one of those will drink it instead. I'm off to the club." she said and quickly headed off into the night.

And he sure words things badly. Asks if I want a kiss. I of course say no but he ended up having a large dark chocolate kiss. He was being a jerk about it but I got it in the end. Score.
August 22nd, 2012
Kira finished her fix-it list (again) which she had broken up into different tasks depending on what type it was. Fixing doors, fixing floors, fixing lights, and the list went on. She muttered lightly as she eyed the fadebeast in the kitchen. "Shined my silverware yet?" she asked as she opened the fridge. It just growled and hovered over the silverware more. "Fine, those are yours. Leave the nice ones alone." she said.
Her green eyes fell on a container of red liquid.
"What are you doing here?" Puppet's voice said.
Kira looked over at him, "I live here for one. One of few anyway.." she said. "What's up with this?"
"Blood from a butcher shop. A just in case. Well if you can it anyway." Puppet replied. "Puts a whole different meaning to having a cold one."
Kira picked up the container and sat at the table. She sniffed at it before taking a good sip from it. "Blood is blood to me. Though the only problem I see with this setup is the clotting.." she said, she never had blood that made her go, oh that's good blood. She only needed it survive, that is all.
Puppet frowned, "Forgot about that. Okay, so its a work in progress. If blood is blood, how do you feel about vampires feeding on vampires.." he said.
Kira sighed, "Some of their excuses as to why they are doing it is complete ********." she said. "I agree with some of the others about the fact if they want to help humans then this wasn't the route to go. It just makes the vampire who was fed on, feed yet again. So if they find a willing person, whatever, but it doesn't mean they are saving any humans of the pain of waking up in an unknown place."
"So I suppose I truly don't care as long as find someone who is willing but I don't agree with their motives for it. If they truly wanted to help humans then they should have gone with animals or blood bags.." she said, she tapped her chin. "Now if I could just get blood from the gangsters I kill then it would save a lot of trouble.."
"You sure have some screwed up views." Puppet said, "Don't like killing needlessly but all the gangsters you kill.."
"Its the fight I'm after. Thought I can't seem to stop before they end up dead...like the guards and cops.." she said with a frown, she didn't want to fight them, they were after all doing their job but instead of knocking them out, the fight just goes on and they end up dead. "Though I can at least say I never killed someone by feeding."
She stood up, "Anyway, good try. Maybe...one of those will drink it instead. I'm off to the club." she said and quickly headed off into the night.

I should really count how many drinks I've gotten since the Met got a bar. I get one at least every night from Crissy and Lexy, then there is the drinks that Dru gets, that she can't drink so I end up with them. It piles up...
And David takes one little sign of affection and runs wild with it. What have I done...
And now Mama is talking about cleansing me again...not sure why yet...the night isn't over. I just healed damnit.
So later my long lost childe shows up, actually talking to me instead of just David. Some things just never change, just glad David wasn't actually there otherwise the banter might have gotten out of hand. Then Gambat and I fought and he won this time.
Warrior hasn't stopped yelling ever since. By the goddess I wish there was a way to shut her up.
August 24th, 2012
Missed the SOA mixer...strange costumes for sure. I'll have to research this Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Though the talk was eh. People want to be married. I'm still trying to get out of mine. David most likely has the papers locked up...maybe Dru can play look out while I...no, not sure if I want to search his room. Might have to sweet talk Puppet into doing it. Might need to steal some booze, that will help.

Re: I'm not who you think I am... ~Journal~ 08/24/12
August 25th, 2012
Kira sat in the backyard, it was as close to nature as she was going to get. Her mind drifted off to the time she lost a leg to the fae. She couldn't just sit in a any tree and hope to be left alone. She sighed softly and closed her eyes as she sat under a tree, at least in the court it was safe.
She opened her eyes and pulled her violin to her. She started to play whatever came to mind. "Bottle my feelings and toss them in the sea, let them drift far away from me.." she sang. She looked up at the sky, setting the violin back down.
"What did I do before October 31st 2010 that warrant such...problems..?" she mumbled softly. She was still thinking on the past, something she thought she finally stopped thinking about but with her renewed faith so to speak, she wondered if going back to where it all started, not New York but to Ireland, to Kildare, would help her understand more about herself.
Though going to New York would have been a far easier than trying to get to Ireland. She shuddered softly at the thought of avoiding the sun. Even if she went on the Killer path, like she had wanted, and got Daywalker, she still could not go out in the sun.
Kira closed her eyes again. After a moment she reached her inner world. It was still as foggy as the first time she went there. She tugged on the white outfit and sighed at it. She moved towards the sound of the water.
"Back again Kaley.." Warrior's voice hissed as she moved out from the fog.
Kira glared at the red haired version of herself. "Why are you calling me that?" she replied, "And I was hoping you wouldn't be here.."
Warrior unhooked the red cloak and let it fall to the ground. "Where else would I be?" she asked as she moved forward. "And you sure not Kira Kerr the Warrior, so why would I grace with calling you that. Dark Lady, Dark Lady.."
"You are so annoying.." Kira said, she would love to shut her up. "It's bad enough you complain in my head. This inner world should be mine to go to in peace. You...rather you locked up somewhere else in my head."
Warrior grinned wickedly. "You are so weak.." she said, reaching down to her side for a blade. She gripped it in her hand tightly. "Maybe I should just take back over for awhile."
Kira laughed, "No one liked you. Think I should make a clause that they kill you if you ever take over again." she said. She reached down for her own blade and sprung forward, tackling her first self to the ground. "If I kill you, would I finally be rid of you.."
"I shall always be a part of you..." Warrior grinned, she pushed Kira off and they both rolled to their feet, ready to strike again. Kira aimed for her arm, cutting into Warrior's wrist to disarm her. A kick to her stomach, a good punch to her face and knocked her to the ground again.
"Seems you are the one that is rusty.." Kira said softly.
Warrior frowned at first but soon it was replaced with a smirk. "Forgot about the sun Kaley.." she said and all around the area torches of fire lit up brightly.
"W-What.." Kira said, her eyes wide as fear washed over her. She was thrown back to the world, her eyes snapped open and jumped to her feet.
It was dark...still very dark.
"I hate her...I ******* hate her..." Kira fumed but her rant was cut short by her cell phone. I ain't your Puppet. Girl I'm not your puppet. Girl I'm not your puppet puppet puppet. Girl I'm not your puppet...
She pulled it out of her pocket. "Yes..?" she said.
"There's another package for you. What did you buy now?" Puppet's voice said.
"None of your business. Bring it over to the other house." Kira snapped and hanged up on him. Though she had to think about that. What did she buy? She made her way to the front of the house to wait.
"Someone is moody today." Puppet said and handed over the package but then saw the wounds.
Kira sat down on the steps and took out a dagger to open the package. "Oh, now I know what this is." she said and smiled, her anger left as she pulled out the Triple Moon Dagger out of the box. She grinned as she unsnapped it from its sheath and held it up.
"Figures...a blade makes you happy." Puppet muttered with a sigh.
"Not for cutting people.." Kira replied, "Already have a nice ritual blade.." she said as she set the box aside. "It goes with the Daughters of the Triple Moon...want to show Dru and Lexy.." she got up and headed inside.
"At least you're in a better mood." Puppet said, shaking his head and headed back to the other house.

Re: I'm not who you think I am... ~Journal~ 08/24/12
September 10th, 2012
Puppet walked into the house, the smell of finger nail polish in the air. He looked over at Kira at the computer desk. "Being girly today?" he asked.
Kira ignored him.
He moved closer, "What does this do? Change colors? Glow in the dark?" he asked.
"Neither.." Kira muttered as she put something over the nail for a few sections and what was left behind was a star-burst design in the polish. "It's...magnetic.."
"You are amused by the strangest things.." Puppet said.
"Not hard to make happy though if you think about it.." Kira muttered, "Sharp objects, sour candy, chocolate, glow in the dark stuff, color changing based on mood." she said as she finished her nails. "Though need to find other mood nail polish. That one always says I'm wild.."
Puppet stared at her, "Seems right to me.." he said, Kira glared at him for a moment.
"Anyway, you and Lexy planning on something for Halloween?" Puppet asked.
Kira looked up at him. "Haven't really thought about it.." she replied. She didn't do anything last year, even though she claimed it as her birthday. Not that she told anyone that. Though looking at the date, in 9 days, she would have been in this life for a year.
She really want to go on a trip. Well she had two trips she wanted to take. One back to New York where it all started. Where she woke up with no memory prior to that. Then she wanted to go to Ireland, where her first life started. And as bad as David and sometimes Gambat, and Mama, she just felt like taking off on a vacation.
Though the thought of dealing with avoiding the sun was troubling. Her only thought was taking Puppet with her to do the driving but that sure didn't sound like an enjoyable trip. She sighed softly.
"Don't really know much on the Halloween thing." Kira replied, she had planned on trying to do Samhain however.
"Oh you should most defiantly dress up." Puppet said, pushing her chair aside so he could get to the computer and put in the keywords of Halloween costumes for women.
Kira stared at the results. "And why are the women's outfits slutty?" she asked.
"Could always go as...Britney Spears." Puppet said and moved back quickly as Kira tried to kick him.
"I don't want to hear that name." Kira hissed.
"You don't even know anything about her." Puppet replied.
"And I like to keep it that way." Kira grumbled before closing the window out on the computer. She put her feet on the ground and looked around. "Where are my shoes..?"
"Mean those ones?" Puppet asked, pointing over at Tucker as he chewed on them.
Kira frowned, "Don't you have enough chew toys." she complained. She glared at Puppet. "I thought you were suppose to take him to that training school."
Puppet backed up some more. "Right...forgot about that." he said.
Kira got up, walking towards him.
"Now my lady, don't want to mess up your polish." Puppet said nervously.
"Quick drying...remember I don't have the patience for such things." Kira replied with a wicked grin.
"Ah ****.." Puppet said and quickly ran for the door.
Kira rolled her eyes and walked over to the dog. "Bad Tucker. Chew on my shoes, Sof will chase you." she said.
Sof lifted her head from the sofa, gave a look of 'as if' before laying her head back down.
Kira just shrugged and went upstairs to get a different pair of shoes.

Re: I'm not who you think I am... ~Journal~ 08/24/12
September 14th, 2012
Kira headed home for a bit after a very tormented night at the Met. She should have just broke some of David's bones, or cut off another limb. No, she had to prove she was still better at charming then he was. He was way worse than before, at least she thought so. She shuddered thinking about what happened.

No, she had to prove she was still better at charming then he was. He was way worse than before, at least she thought so. She shuddered thinking about what happened.
Kira got to her room, she didn't understand why this sort of torment was worth everything that has happened. She had to think that they both be much happier if he would just set her free. She looked down at the ring he had gotten her, the only reason she wore it was because it was Celtic. She opened up her jewelry box, which was filled with other Celtic items and took off the ring, placing it with the rest of the jewelry there. She closed the lid before grabbing some clothes to take a shower, she felt like she needed one.David says: "*jumps at Kira* Oh baby *kisses* How do i love you? Let me count the ways"
David says: "one your blonde hair like sunshine. Two the way you glare at me."
Kira says: "Get off of me! *Knew shouldn`t have used that power*"
David says: "three the way you smile at Lexy"
David says: "four the way you tell me to get off of you"
David says: "five the way you smile at Dru 2.0"
David says: "six the way your green eyes shimmer in this light"
Kira says: "....You seem to think I do a lot of smiling.."
Kira says: "How long are you going to keep talking anyway..."
David says: "seven the way they shimmer in any light"
David says: "eight the way you think i think you smile"
David says: "nine the way you ask how long i will keep talking"
David sent you a telepathic message:
"ten the way you worry about others hearing my love for you"
David sent you a telepathic message:
"11 the way you look right now as you stare at me"
David sent you a telepathic message:
"12 the way you call me cocoa puffs"
David sent you a telepathic message:
"13 the way you protected that little girl"
Kira says: "Make it stop, someone shot him."
David says: "*kisses her lists 25 more things in her head*"
Kira says: "Don`t kiss me *pushes him away*"
David says: "* cuddles up to her and plays with her hair as he
lists more things in her head.*"
David says: "Kira is the most sexual girl i would almost go
fully straight for her * kisses her* i love you"
Alexandrea says: "~Falls off her seat laughing at David and Kira~"
Kira says: "...know that`s the charm talking. *Smacks him*
Stop kissing me. I want a divorce."
Kira says: "Lexy! You just laugh and shoot me with water
balloons...*frowns, hits David some more*"
David says: "I love how you say you want to leave me even
though you were trying to off me. A*sighs happily*"
David says: "*kisses her for every hit* So cute isnt she? "
Kira says: "For the record I was never after trying to kill
you but the night I ended up with you.."
David says: "Its alright my beloved white goddess. I forgive
you. *kisses her arm*"
Kira says: "Stop kissing me! *growls*"
Kira says: "...Forgive me? You were pretty hateful and bitter before."
David says: "i love when you growl at me. *kisses her hands*"
Kira says: "*Slaps him* There`s pretty much nothing you don`t
love about me right now. Leave me alone."
David says: "So where you my beloved Kira. Trying to kill
me... come let us watch the sunrise together."
Kira says: "*Tenses up* No, you can go watch it by yourself.
Take the solar dancing flower with you."
David says: "*pulls Kira into his arms* We can take it
together and lay in the wikderness and make sweet"
David says: "music into the daylight hours."
David says: "*Tells her more adult things in her head*"
Kira says: "*Stares wide eyed* Make it stop!"
David says: "I only got started. It fets better. * says more
in her head*"
David says: "Shall we make your dream cone teue my beloved
white goddess of all things if my mind."
Kira says: "My dreams do not involve you."
David says: "*holds chest bursts into tears whule cleaning onto Kira* "
Alexandrea says: "Sorry for laughing but Kiwi. You used `seduce` on him. What did you expect? I mean, really? lol"
Kira says: "...don`t cry on me...*tries to pry his arms off of
her* Crazy man"
Kira says: "Hope he finally follows through with killing
himself because I won`t play nice.."
Kira says: "I need a vacation.."
David says: "Trying to get me to kill myself. I hope the cops
shoot you in tge head."
Kira says: "And yet he won`t give me a divorce."
