Kalia's first coherent thought was: What the hell is in my face? The second thought was to, oh so smartly, get it off; and get it off she did. With a -surprisingly heavy and hard to lift arm- she batted whatever it was of to the side, opening her eyes quickly when she heard a loud meow; panic running through her mind as she twisted to see if Kiyoshi was okay.

"Oh my god! I'm so sorry Kiyoshi!" She cried, pulling the small kitten to her as she rubbed her head against Kioyshi's furry one. "Are you alright?!"

As if in response the kitten started purring, kneading her paws against Kalia's thinly covered stomach, making her wince when her sharp claws went through the cloth to touch her skin.

"I take it I'm forgiven then?" She laughed, reaching out to scratch the small kitten under her chin when she began to rub her head vigorously against her own chin, -a feat which just gave Kalia a mouth-full of fur as she was still laying down- receiving a small nip and lick in return.

"Well," Kalia murmured, taking in her surroundings for the first time. "Just how did I-" She paused, her mind racing as she struggled to connect the pieces with a rising panic.

Mother, anger, victory, door, man-

Man... She frowned, screwing her head up in thought as her heart began to pound. Man... Man! She jerked upright, eyes wide in horror as she scanned her surroundings frantically before releasing a sigh of relief. No one was there. It had all been a dream. She hadn't gone insane after all.

"Are you normally the type to faint?"

"Ack!" She shrieked, flailing wildly as she fell off the edge of the bed -how did she get on the bed anyways?- whilst trying to turn towards the direction of the voice.

For a moment Kalia just laid there, her face flat against the floor with her limbs spread wide, before groaning, moving her arms beneath her in order to push her self into a sitting position; lifting a hand to brush the hair out of her face.

She glanced around her room, scowling when she found him leaning against the wall, hands in his pockets with a smirk on his face, looking like he owned the place. SHe took that back. Apparently she was insane.

"I don't know, do you always scare people to death?" She retorted angrily.

He chuckled and Kalia stiffened at the way the action caused his features to light up.

"Touche."

She stood, stretching her arms above her head before walking towards her closet, turning her back on the boy behind her.

"It's rude to walk away without saying goodbye you know!" He called, causing her to frown again whilst rolling her eyes.

"I dont care!" She shouted back, walking into her closet to search for an outfit. Hmmm, what did she want to do today?

"Talking to yourself is considered an act of crazyness." A voice breathed into her ear, making her yelp in surprise before twisting quickly, staggering back as she glared at the culpret.
