A New Era

Sarah smiled, and unexpectedly gave a quick peck to Nha's cheek. "We're one big happy family. Hey, Rika!" she called into the next room. Rika's door opened, and the girl emerged, looking like she just came out of a nap. "Come here! We're having a group hug!"

Rika immediately came to life again. "Okay!" she exclaimed, and ran to hug both girls around the waist.

Nha's blush had the same color as a tomato now due to the unexpected kiss on her cheek, pressing against Sarah before she noticed Rika, being pulled into a sudden hug. Sha merely watching and released a tiny yawn, not really into such tender moments while she rested against the wall now, closing her eyes.

"Alright, enough of that," Sarah said gruffly, pushing both girls off her. Rika pouted cutely afterwards. "I'm bored. Who's up for some TV?"

Nha took a step back when she was pushed away, rubbing her own shoulder for a bit before the door was kicked open with a aggresive sound, Nha quickly standing infront of Sarah to protect her while Sha got into her stance though suddenly Karina steped in, dressed in a dark red short kimono with a black ribbon on the back, the kimono had several white eastern dragons painted on it, her hair styled as always, her red eyes glaring around before noticing her guitar, walking towards it while saying.

" You door wasn't working properly. "

Sha immidiatly stepped back and away from the guitar.

"EEP!!" Rika sqeaked, and stumbled a bit before ragaining herself into a fighting stance. Everyone seemed surprised to see Karina showng up here. Everyone except for Sarah. Sarah was all smiles.

"Karina! Glad you could make it!" she greeted cheerfully. She quickly walked between her and her guitar, grinnning from ear to ear. "You came later than I thought you would. Sha, Nha, show some respect! She's the second-in-command after all." She put extra emphasis on that last point just to rub in the fact she was now the leader.

Karina glared deadly at Sarah when she stood in the way of her guitar, the last person that had even tried to keep Karina's attention from her guitar got clobbered with it.

" Traffic. Now, if you can step asside so I can grab my guitar. "

Karina was almost chest to chest against Sarah, looking right into her eyes with a look that could only be described as utter hatred towards Sarah, Nha and Sha were bowing their heads before backingwards and near Rika.

While most wouldhave backed down from Karina after being looked at her like that, but Sarah didn't. She stood her ground and glared right back, an arrogant smirk on her face. "Your guitar?" she repeated coyly. "I don't know what you're talking about. That's my guitar hanging there. I beat up some chick then took it as my prize. That's just how I do things."

" Uhuh.. How about I.. "

Karina leaned a little closer, her hands clenching into fists as she became much more hostile then before, if that was even posible.

" Just throw you of your own window and take MY guitar back? "

Karina certainly was so close to destroying Sarah now, the only thing that stopped her was that Sarah had her guitar and she'd rather have it back in one piece.

Rika was the one who gulped at that, and was preared to step in if she had to. But she kbew Sarah could handle herself. She hoped.

"Oh, creative," Sarah replied to Karina's disturbing threat. "Or, we can do this. We talk it out like the good friends we are." Sarah smiled sweetly, tilting her head to the side in a cute way. She then gestured to the couch. "Please, have a seat.

" Friends? Haven't I told you that I don't keep friends? They're a burden. "

Karina off course stayed put, only interested in her guitar while Sarah tried to be cute, it must sadden Sarah a bit if she knew that Karina doesn't like anything close to cute nor people who actually try to be, she did however take a step back and crossed her arms against her chest.

" Again, I want my guitar back. "
