A/N: idk if this is confusing, I hope it isn't.
————————————————————————

I looked at everyone and couldn't help but smile. It had been so long since I last smiled my face quickly hurt and I had to stop. I couldn't help but look at Shiro and feel that his hair just didn't look right, something was wrong and just off about him, I know he's in a cloned body but still...

After dinner I started falling asleep, I didn't even know where I was going to sleep. I heard some people whispering, they were probably deciding what do do with me. After a few minutes I could feel myself being lifted from the chair and I was soon lightly set on something super soft, I can't remember anything that I've had that's this soft, soon a blanket was pulled over me but this one was soft instead of the thin, itchy things you get from the Galra. Soon my eyes completely closed and I couldn't remember anything, just sleep.

***

When I awoke I could see I was in someone's room, I didn't have any dreams. which is good because if I did I would have had a nightmare, and I might scream. I don't usually scream, but sometimes light sleeping makes me have bad nightmares. I looked around, and saw a pile of clothes. I know this place didn't have many rooms so I must be in one of the paladins but where were they?

Right as I thought that someone knocked on the door. I got off the bed and opened the door now aware that my hair looked like someone put it in a blender. When I opened the door I saw Shiro, he was sweating and he was obviously in training clothes. "Uhh... can I just get my regular clothes?" He asks and I smile slightly at him as I move out of the door way even though he could have easily gone in the room. Was this his room I bit my lip as Shiro started to walk out, he saw my face and knew what I was thinking "if your wondering I was training, and yes this is my room, if you want Hunk is probably making breakfast" I smiled at him and shook my head. He then started to blush and looked really awkward "uh... they said that there isn't enough rooms for you, so... they... uh.... said that we have to share a room" oh gosh I can't do that, he'll figure out about me... NO ONE CAN KNOW.

He must have seen the fear on my face "it's only for tonight, then we'll be leaving to start rebuilding the castle of lions" that was a relief "what are you going to do? I know you don't talk but it's up to you if you want to stay here on earth or not" I looked at him. I was determined to help the universe, he could tell too "so you'll join us to help fight" he grinned at me and I shook my head yes. This is it I'll finally make a difference. "Ok I'm going to go now" I don't know why but he seems off still, like he's bipolar or something.

I eventually found the kitchen and Hunk was in there cooking away. I knocked on the door "come in" he turned and saw me "oh hey Kyra, wanna help" he beamed. I shook my head yes and pulled my now untangled hair into a high ponytail. I tied an apron around my waist and washed my hands as hunk said "can you make the pancakes I'm not very good at them yet. I mean they're ok but they aren't the best. I don't even know what you cook or how good you are but-" hunk kept rambling on and we fell into the work, he kept talking and I would look at him or shake my head every now and then. Soon I was cooking the pancake batter and it was smelling amazing "and then I was all like pow-chow pow-chow" hunk turned to me and I smiled at him, he walked over to me and took one of the pancakes "these smell amazing" he smiled. Hunk is so sweet. He then turned back to me and screamed as he lifted me up and moved me away from the stove "your arm was on the burner" he gasped. I turned my arm over and saw a huge welt forming, I didn't even feel it. I shrugged and walked back over to the pancakes. Hunk was looking at me and he was horrified. I gave him the 'what' look "you just gave yourself a third-degree burn and your shrugging it off" I shook my head yes. He stopped rambling and just looked at me for the rest of the time I was cooking. I have a hard time feeling pain because of Haggar.

Lunch was good, I didn't really do much today, I hung out with different people to get to know them better. I decided I would go hang out with Shiro for a bit so I'm headed to the training deck, Keith said it might not be a good idea because ever since the clone incident Shiro has been training funny.

"Kyra what are you doing here?" Shiro said kind of roughly as I walked in the door, this is not like the Shiro from this morning. What's up with him

"Please leave" Shiro said In a not so pleading way that was more of a demand. I walked over to the mat and started stretching.

"L.E.A.V.E." He spat with venom lacing his words. What's up with him, this isn't normal. I smiled at him and that's when he slipped for a split second I saw it, my powers helped me, I saw two souls in his body fighting for his mind and control. THATS WHY HIS HAIR DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO ME. I could see Shiro's soul, it was kind and gentle and I could see another, aggressive and mean. They were both broken by Haggar, and they were both leaders so they weren't getting along.

"You really shouldn't train in long sleeves and pants" Shiro took over his mind. I know I have to find a way to save him, and the clone. I know I can fix the clone because of Haggar's magic but Shiro I'm not sure, all I know is earth isn't a good place to try. I looked a Shiro and just shrugged. I'm really wearing pants and long sleeves because of my scars, and I keep the glove I made on my Galra hand. They don't have to know how broken I am.

"You want to fight" I grinned and shook my head yes, I could feel Kuro, what I've decided to call the other soul since Shiro means white and Kuro means black, die down.

Shiro pulled out a blade it was a sword in the same style as the one voltron uses. I pulled out a small knife, I prefer to do close hand to hand combat where I make bigger weapons harder to use.

"Ha you plan on beating me with that?" Kuro's sarcasm came out. I grinned as I waited for Shiro to advance. Shiro lunged at me as I slid under his blade, sliding on my leg. I slashed his arm as he swung for my neck, Kuro was trying to take control and he was fighting to kill. A few minutes later I pinned Shiro to the floor and I would have won but I don't weigh enough to keep him down so I lost. I could see pain flying through Shiro's eyes, he's trying to overpower Kuro but he can't. Tomorrow we'll be at the new castle of lions and I can help him then.

That night we had to share a room, I took the couch since my insomnia was acting up and I didn't go to sleep at all that night but I did know that I would have to explain this all to Shiro. I took out some paper and wrote a letter, I just hope he can understand too.
