It was the next day and Kohane was laying on her bed not wanting to get up. What did get her up was hearing crashing in the kitchen. "TSUKASA, YOU DON'T CLANG THE POTS LIKE THAT!" An yelled. "WELL WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO THEN??" Tsukasa yelled back. "H-Hey guys calm down!" Minori tried yelling over them. Kohane walked into the kitchen to find An and Tsukasa wielding pans like weapons and giving each other death glares, Minori trying to break the two up, and Nene watching while sipping a cup of coffee. "Morning guys..." Kohane's voice trailed off at the scratches on the stove. "Hi Kohane. These hooligans are yelling at 7:30 in the morning." Nene looked annoyed as she continued casually sipping her cup of coffee. Kohane still found it unnerving that now, Nene's left eye was cloudy and sightless. She wondered how Nene felt to only have one seeing eye now. Minori looked at Kohane and gave her an awkward look.

Then she turned back to Tsukasa. "Look Tsukasa you guys can both cook together and maybe don't clang pots on the stove! Got it...?" Minori said quickly to Tsukasa. He grunted and set the pan on the counter and sat in a chair on the table. An gave an exasperated sigh. "I can cook. Anyone want bacon?" An asked. Kohane gave Minori a "You don't want it" look when Minori raised her hand and the idol slowly lowered her hand. Meanwhile Tsukasa raised his hand but Nene shook her head. "Okay then Tsukasa how much do you want?" Kohane walked into the living room with Minori and they both sat on the couch. "God they can get really riled up! I'm just glad Nene knew how to make coffee without blowing up the machine." Minori sighed.

Kohane couldn't help but giggle. "I can't help but laugh at them though. Even though they may burn down my house one day." Samo chan came from Minori's room and jumped on the couch to get belly rubs from Minori. Kohane smelled smoke from the kitchen and knew An burned bacon again. "Do you guys really eat this stuff? It looks like fertilizer." Kohane heard Nene say with a disgusted tone. An then hmphed. "Tsukasa seems to like it." An said as a counter. "Yeah this is actually good." Tsukasa said. Nene sighed. "Do what you guys want I guess." Minori giggled and Kohane smiled. Nene walked into the living room to sit down on a chair across from Kohane and Minori. "Soo do you want to do something today?" Minori asked Nene. She shrugged. "I don't know. Ask the other two I don't really care." Nene answered.

The doorbell rang and Kohane knew who it was and ran to it. She opened the door and Akito was at the front. "Hey Akito! Did Ena come along?" Kohane looked outside for the sarcastic brunette. Akito rolled his eyes. "No. She wanted to stay home. I came to make sure you don't die." Akito looked inside and saw Nene. "Why are there more?" He noticed Nene's blue skin. Kohane let out a nervous hehe. "Well... I'll explain later. Come in." Akito reluctantly stepped inside the house and smelled smoke. "Is that smoke?" Akito asked Kohane and she nodded. "An and Tsukasa are cooking." Akito gave her a perplexed look. Tsukasa came from the kitchen into the living room and he stared at Akito. "Is this your other friend Kohane?" He asked. Kohane nodded while Akito gave Tsukasa a suspicious glance. "This is my friend Akito! Akito, this is Tsukasa." Kohane said. Akito gave Tsukasa a hard stare and the alien smiled at him. "Hi! Your hair is very orange." Tsukasa gestured towards Akito's ginger hair.

Akito gave it a ruffle and glanced at Nene. "That's my friend Nene. She's... sassy." Nene heard him and gave Tsukasa a look. "Thanks for that amazing description." Nene said in a snarky tone. Tsukasa looked offended and Akito gave Nene a same suspicious glare. Nene returned his gaze and rolled her eyes. "No need for the look ginger. I got my knives in the back you know." Tsukasa did a fake laugh and gave Nene a glare as she rolled her eyes again. Akito gave Kohane a look and she turned to Minori, who was shrugging. "Well... I just wanted to check and Ena's probably gone now. See you later." Akito left the house. Kohane sighed. "Neneee why would you mention the knives?" Tsukasa  said, his teeth gritted. She shrugged. "Extra flair? It was to scare off the ginger." Nene hissed, her irritation showing through the cheetah ears that sprouted through her hair. Tsukasa twinged with annoyance, bat wings growing on his back. "I need to get used to that." Minori whispered to Kohane as Kohane nodded. An came from the kitchen, smiley and smelling like smoke. "How's everyone doing?" She turned to look at Nene and Tsukasa. "Oh. Maybe you guys should tone down on the wings and ears...?" An suggested.

The bat wings shrunk from Tsukasa's back and the cheetah ears disappeared from Nene's head. "Good. We're all calm now." An said. Tsukasa sat down on the couch as his  legs were starting to hurt from standing up. Kohane thought of what to say but she couldn't. Minori  was her saving grace. "So how was life on your planet like? I'm interested." Minori asked. Nene was the first to say something. "Warm, bunch of man eating daisies, large dogs with six legs, and man eating cockroaches." Tsukasa shuddered at the mention of the cockroaches which made Nene giggle. Tsukasa glared at her. "THAT WAS A HORRIFIC EXPERIENCE AND YOU SHALL NOT LAUGH AT IT!" Tsukasa yelled which made Nene start laughing. "A man eating cockroach got into Tsukasa's backyard, almost eating him in the process. I came to see a cockroach corpse and a horribly traumatized Tsukasa. Hasn't been able to look at bugs since." Tsukasa looked embarrassed as Nene told the story. Kohane couldn't help but giggle and An was laughing. Minori was laughing too, which aggravated Tsukasa. "UGGHHHHHH WHY DO PEOPLE ALWAYS LAUGH WHEN HEARING THAT STORY??" Tsukasa whined. Nene gave him a smug smile, her eyes, cloudy and bright laughing at him. 

"Sorry Tsukasa." Minori apologized, while still giggling. They got over it and started chatting a bit  more and didn't notice someone coming up the walkway. A  tall figure, with split hair, a dark blue so dark it was almost black and a pale blue as pale as the clouds. He got to the door and rung the doorbell. "Oh! I'll get that." Kohane stood up and ran to the door. She opened it and it revealed a tall boy with split hair and gray eyes. He had blue skin and pointed ears. "Um An, I think another of your  friends have arrived..." Kohane turned to look at An. An looked up and spotted the boy. Her eyes lit up. "Hi Toya!" She yelled. The boy waved. "Hi An. Hey Kusanagi, Tenma." He said to Nene and Tsukasa. They waved. Toya stepped inside and An went up to him. "How's it been? How's home?" She asked. Toya's poker face didn't break while saying, "Pretty normal. Your dad wanted me to bring you back so I'm here." An's face fell at the last part. "I am not leaving." She crossed her arms and turned away from Toya. "But... Don't you want to go back home?" He asked. An's arms grew black tiger fur, her annoyance showing. "Why do you think I left in the first place? I am not leaving. I made new friends." She said to Toya. Toya was silent for a bit. Then, he sighed.

"Well I wasn't expecting for you to agree. Well then, I will stay here too." He said. An looked at him and then smiled. "Thanks Toya." She said. Kohane was awkward. "So, my friend would let you crash with him. He's two blocks down. I can take you there." Kohane said shyly to Toya. He smiled. "Thanks for that..." He indicated he wanted a name. "Kohane. Kohane Azusawa." She answered. Toya smiled brightly. "Thanks for that Azusawa."
