**Chapter 12

"So�What are you doing around this area?" Grace asked.  Leslie looked at her.

"Nothing much.  Just looking around while I look for someone," Leslie answered.  Grace nodded.

"Who?" Grace asked.

"My fianc�," Leslie answered.

"Oh," Grace replied.  So he has a fianc� as well.  Shucks�

"She looks like you," Leslie said quietly.

"Really?" Grace asked numbly.  Her mind was somewhere else.

"Yeah," Leslie said.

***********************************************

"Don't you think that he looks too much like Alex?" Miya asked.

"But he saw Daphne at the table.  He had no look of surprise or anything," Dream said.

"That's the weird part.  If he's Alex, he seems as if he never knew Daphne.  But if he is Alex, why did he pretend as if he never saw Daphne before?" Miya asked.

"I don't know, Miya.  That was a good question but I'm afraid that none of us would be able to give you the answer today," Julie said.

"Oh, so that's what Alex looks like," Daphne said as she nodded.

"You don't even know how your fianc� looks like!?" Tiff exclaimed.

"He's not my fianc�," Daphne said stubbornly.  "I never saw him, never liked him, and won't be marrying him."

"Don't talk about her fianc� as someone else other than Mr. Kang Ta over there," Dream said as she pointed to the guy that wasn't too far off.  The girls laughed lightly.

"But what would happen to you and Miya?" Cindi asked.

"Don�t remind me," Dream said with a sigh.

"I heard that the Black Foxes are also after Daphne?" Tiff said.

"Don't remind us of that also," Miya said.  Cindi laughed.

"What could we remind you of then?" Cindi asked.

"Anything that's good," Julie said.

"Would be counted as good if Dong Wan, Woo Hyuk, Jun Jin, and Kang Ta are all walking over?" Tiff asked.

"Yes," Dream, Julie, Miya, and Daphne said together.

"Whoa!  Dream?" Cindi exclaimed.  Dream then turned red.  Cindi smiled.  "Come on.  Tell us who you like from that group of four."

"I just take them as another friend," Dream said.  Cindi turned and winked at Tiff who smiled.

"Hi," the four guys said with their best smile on their face when they approached the group of girls.

"Mind joining me for a dance on the beach to the music?" Kang Ta whispered to Daphne in her ears.  Daphne laughed, got on her feet, and ran off with Kang Ta.

"May I have this dance?" Woo Hyuk asked Julie.  Julie nodded with a radiant smile that equaled the one that Woo Hyuk gave her.

"Let's go dance," Jun Jin said to Miya with grin.

"No problem," Miya said with a smile.

"Um�Will I have the honor of having a dance with a beautiful lady?" Dong Wan said to Dream.  Dream smiled and got up.

"Hey," Tiff said to Cindi.  "They all ran off with a boy.  What about us?"  Cindi looked at her and then she looked at Brian and Eric who were not that far off talking to one another.  Tiff looked in the way that Cindi was looking at.  Then, at the same time, the two girls turned and looked at one another.  They smiled and then ran to the boys.

***********************************************

"So�How long have you been into the designing work?" Min Woo asked.

"Not too long," Ji Hye answered.

"Not too long?  Well you must be really talented," Min Woo said.

"Nah," Ji Hye replied as she blushed.

"No?  Then why did I received the news that international critics would be attending the next modeling show that would be displaying the clothes that you design?" Min Woo asked.

"What?" Ji Hye almost yelled.

"It's true," Min Woo said.

"Oh my God," Ji Hye said slowly.  Then, suddenly, she started to laugh and yell at the same time.  "I can't believe it!  I'm actually succeeding!"  Min Woo smiled happily as he watched at how happy Ji Hye was.

***********************************************

"Oh my God.  Please.  Help me," Ji Hye said as she paced around in the back of the stage.  Today was the official day that Daphne was going to model in front of people.

"She seems more worried than you are," Miya said as she looked at Ji Hye.

"She seems more worried than any of us," Poyan said with a raised eyebrow.  "Weird.  I know that it's the first time that Daphne is modeling.  If she mess up, she messes up.  She could always do this again.  And she's not the only model going out.  She's only going out in certain clothes."

"Eun Hee and Victoria would be out there as well," Wei Lin said.  "They are known for their modeling skills so I'm sure that they'll make up for anything that Daphne misses."

"Don't you worry, Wei Lin.  You could trust us out there," Victoria said as she walked out of the changing room.

"Yep," Eun Hee said.  "We thought of all possibilities.  We're pretty sure about Daphne though.  She's a pretty quick learner."

"You people don't understand at all!" Ji Hye yelled.  All of the people looked at her weirdly.  Ji Hye then closed her eyes to calm down.

"What's the matter, Ji Hye?" Emily asked.  Ji Hye then opened her eyes again.  She found a seat and sat down, tired.

"Do you know that there are international critics out there tonight?" Ji Hye asked.  Emily, Poyan, and Wei Lin's eyes widened at this news.

"What!?" Poyan exclaimed.

"And you didn�t even tell us?" Emily whispered.

"Oh my God�What are we going to do!?" Wei Lin said.

"See?  That's why I didn't tell you.  At first, I was extremely happy but then I started to panic about the show," Ji Hye said.

"Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God," Emily said as she paced around the room.  "What are we going to do now?  We can't even turn back and leave now."

"I know," Ji Hye said.  "That's why I'm so upset.  What if-"

"There's no what ifs," Victoria said.  She then winked at her.  "We are going to succeed.  Right, Daphne?"

"Uh�Yeah�I guess," Daphne said as she looked at the rest of the people.

***********************************************

"Yay!  Three cheers for our models!" Miya said as she raised her cup in the restaurant.

"I can't believe it!  Everyone was telling me how much they liked the clothes and the way that it was displayed," Wei Lin said.

"I even overheard someone saying that this was done so well," Poyan said.

"I guess everyone is much happier now," Grace said with a happy smile.  Suddenly, a waiter walked in.

"Is there a Ji Hye in here?" the waiter said politely.

"I am," Ji Hye answered.  The waiter walked in with a bouquet of red roses.

"This is for you," the waiter said, and then he left the room.

"Whoa!  Secret admirer?" Eun Hee asked.  Ji Hye smiled.

"Are you going to check now?" Victoria asked.  Ji Hye shook her head.

"It's probably someone who I know.  I'll check later," Ji Hye said.

***********************************************

Ji Hye came out of the bathroom and sat down in front of the tv.  She turned on the tv and watched while she dried her hair.  Suddenly, the bouquet of flowers caught her eyes.  She walked over and picked up the roses.

"One, two, three�There's twelve?  These must be pretty expensive," Ji Hye said to herself.  She then searched through the flowers.  In the flowers, there was a card.  Ji Hye took out the flowers and read what it said on the card.

  "To the dearest Ji Hye:
 
  Congratulations on your success at the modeling show.  Hope that
  you could continue to succeed on your career and that you liked the
  flowers that were sent to you.  Let every blossom represent the amount
  of feelings that I feel for you - I would send you thirteen tomorrow,
  fourteen the day after, and so on.  Hopefully you would understand
  what I feel for you and return the same feeling back to me.

      Your secret admirer"

Ji Hye then looked back and forth on the note.

"Weird.  How would I know who this person is if he doesn't write his name?  Hopefully it's not a girl though," Ji Hye said as she laughed.  She then thought of something.  "Weird also.  How did he know about the modeling show?"  Suddenly, the phone rang.  Ji Hye went over and picked up the phone.  "Hello?"

"Ji Hye?" Emily said on the other side.

"Emily?  What's up?" Ji Hye said as she sat on the sofa.

"Nothing much.  I'm just so happy that everything went so successful," Emily said.

"Of course," Ji Hye said.  "Hey!  Emily, do you think that you would know who's the person who sent me the flowers?"  Emily laughed.

"How would I know?  Do you think that I was the person who sent the flowers to you?  I don't think that I'm homosexual, Ji Hye," Emily said.

"I'm not saying that.  But do you know like�someone that is interested in me?" Ji Hye asked.

"Nope," Emily answered.  "The flowers are from a secret admirer?"

"Yeah.  But he didn't even leave a name.  He just said that later on he would be sending more flowers," Ji Hye answered.

"More?" Emily asked.

"Yeah.  He said that tomorrow he would send thirteen, the day after fourteen, and so on," Ji Hye said.  Emily gasped.

"That's so romantic," Emily said.

"Romantic�Yeah, whatever.  I just hope that it's not a stalker," Ji Hye said.  Emily laughed.

"I'm sure it's not.  It's probably a very, very good-looking guy," Emily said.

***********************************************

"Jae Wonnie?  What are you thinking about?  That girl at the caf�?" Hee Jun asked.

"Yeah�" Jae Won answered in a far off voice.  "I mean no."  He immediately sat up straight and looked at the people who were standing in front of him.  "What?  Why are you people looking at me like that?"  Tony sighed.

"Our Shy Guy Jae Wonnie is in love," Tony said.

"Oh my.  I really couldn't imagine that if it was two days ago," Hee Jun said with a sigh.  Jae Won turned red.

"I don't want to talk to you people.  You are all teasing me.  I'm going out for a walk," Jae Won said as he stood up and walked out.

"Hope that you see that girl while you're outside," Hee Jun called out after him.

"Someone should make him shut up," Jae Won muttered.

***********************************************

Hm�Maybe it's better to let Hee Jun keep talking.  Jae Won was thinking to himself as he looked at the girl across the street.  She was now crossing the street.  She seemed to sense that someone was looking at her so she turned and looked at Jae Won.  She smiled.

"Hi," Michi said as she walked up to Jae Won.  "What a surprise to see you again."

"Yeah.  Same here," Jae Won said as he turned red.  Michi looked at the building behind him.

"This is where you work?" Michi asked.  Jae Won nodded.  "Wow!  You're a singer?"  Jae Won nodded again.

"You�didn't know that?" Jae Won asked.  Michi shook her head.

"I was in Japan for a period of time," Michi said.  Jae Won nodded.

"You know Japanese?" Jae Won asked.  Michi nodded.  Jae Won smiled.  "I know it also."

"Really?" Michi asked.

"Somewhat," Jae Won answered.

"That's cool," Michi answered.  "It would be fun to talk more about one another, wouldn't it?"

***********************************************



Chapter 13

"Wow!  He really sent twenty flowers today.  What kind of flower is it?  Oh my God!  These are such beautiful flowers!" Wei Lin said.  It was a combination of hybrid tea roses and sweetheart roses.

"Oh my God!  Do you know what those flowers mean?" Poyan asked.  The rest of the people shook their head.

"What does it mean?" Ji Hye asked.

"It mean I will remember you always sweetheart," Poyan said as she looked at Ji Hye with envious eyes.  "You are so lucky."



Ji Hye looked at the flowers.  She went through the flowers and found the card.

"To my dearest Ji Hye:

  How are you today?  You must be wondering who I am, right?  Sorry
  about all this mystery - I'm too shy to show you myself.  I fear of the
  fact that you might scorn me.  I fear that I'm not worthy enough for
  you.  Lucky for me that I found you but unlucky that I fell in love with
  you for I treasure the moments that I see you.  Oh well.  It's still precious
  that I am able to see you.

       Your secret admirer"

***********************************************

"What are you thinking of Ji Hye?" Emily asked.  The other girls looked at her.

"Nothing," Ji Hye answered.  Wei Lin thought for a while.

"You know what?" Wei Lin asked.  The other three looked at her.  "We could find out who's your secret admirer."

"How?" Poyan asked.

"We'll just retrace his steps.  We'll wait for him at the flower shop, since we know that he's buying the flowers at the same place everyday," Wei Lin said.

"Hey!  That's a good idea.  And then Ji Hye doesn't have to be so gloomy for the whole day anymore," Poyan said.

***********************************************

"Hey!  Isn't that Min Woo?" Emily said as she pointed to the person that was walking into the flower store.  Wei Lin was on the side talking to her friend.

"Thanks a lot," Wei Lin said.

"No problem," the girl answered as she ran across the street.

***********************************************

"Ji Hye?  Are you ok?" Wei Lin asked.  "I mean, it's not that bad that Min Woo likes you, right?"  Ji Hye looked ahead of her blankly.

"You know what's the weirdest of all things?  How could he like me?" Ji Hye said.

"Ji Hye�you're not making any sense," Emily said.  Ji Hye sighed.

"Should I talk to him about it?" Ji Hye thought in her mind.

***********************************************

"Hi, Ji Hye," Min Woo said as he sat down at the caf� with a smile.  "What's up?"

"Um�" Ji Hye started to say.  She wasn't sure of what to say.

"What's the matter?" Min Woo asked.

"Eh�you were the one who was sending me flowers?" Ji Hye said quickly.  She didn't even look at his face when she said it.  She then waited.  There were no replies.  She looked up.  Min Woo was looking out the window.

"Hehe."  Min Woo looked back at Ji Hye with a smile.  "How did you find out?"  Ji Hye blushed.

"We waited for the person at the flower shop," Ji Hye mumbled.

"Oh," Min Woo answered as he nodded.  "Sorry for annoying you with the flowers."

"No!" Ji Hye protested.  "They weren't annoying."

"Did you like them?" Min Woo asked.  Ji Hye hesitated for a while.  Then, she nodded with a slight smile on her face.

"Thanks," Ji Hye said.

"No problem," Min Woo said with a shrug.  "Anything for you."  He looked at her for a while.  "Are�you willing to be my girlfriend?"  Ji Hye looked up at him, surprised.  "I mean�maybe it's a little quick for you but I really like you."  Ji Hye looked at him.  Finally she nodded and smiled.

"I guess," Ji Hye answered.  She then reached across the table and held on to Min Woo's hand.  "Why would I let someone who is so sweet go?"  Min Woo smiled.

***********************************************

"Boring," Kai said as she looked at the ceiling of the room.  "Boring."

"What's the matter Kai?" Ada asked.  Kai sighed.

"It's too boring these days.  No little white foxes or little colorful birdies to torture," Kai said as she threw another dart into the target - a grizzly bear that was roaming in the Black Fox Tribe's territory.

"Someone better find Daphne soon.  I'm getting bored," Kabuki said.

"I got to find something to do," Kai said as she got up from her chair.

"Where are you going, Kai?" Saeri asked.  Kai turned around and smiled.

"Something.  I'll be back," Kai answered.  She then disappeared.

***********************************************

"Something's wrong with these humans," Kai said as she readjusted her sunglasses.  She didn't notice that she was catching a lot of attention.

She looked around.

"Maybe it was the wrong idea to come out," Kai said.  "It's also boring out here.  In fact, now I have to let people look at me as if they were at the zoo or something."  Suddenly, someone caught her eyes.  "Hey�isn't that the girl that ruined my plan the other day?" she said to herself as she looked at Ji Hye who was walking with Min Woo.

"Min Woo!  Look at that!  Isn't that pretty!?" Ji Hye asked Min Woo as she looked into the store.

"You like it?" Min Woo asked.  Ji Hye nodded.  Min Woo smiled and pulled her into the store.

"Min Woo?" Kai said slowly to herself as a smile started to form on her lips.

***********************************************



Chapter 14

"I have this weird feeling that they are going to attack soon again," Dream said.

"Why?" Grace asked.

"I don't know.  I just have this ability to feel attacks," Dream answered as she shook her head.

"I thought that we took the Disappearance Dose already?" Cindi asked.

"Yeah.  But that doesn't mean that they can't look for us or attack the people around us," Dream answered.

"That sucks," Julie said.  The rest of the people nodded.

"What are we going to do then?" Daphne asked.

"What could we do?" Dream asked.  "We could just wait.  How many of your powers did you recover, Daphne?"

"About five percent," Daphne said with a sigh.  "The process is so slow.  I guess it's because there's an eclipse coming up soon."  The rest of the people nodded.

"But after the eclipse, you would probably recover about forty percent.  Just wait for a while," Tiff said.  Daphne sighed again.

"But we would slowly lose our powers until the eclipse.  Not to mention that during that few minutes we would have absolutely no powers," Daphne said.  "That's what bad about the eclipse."

"And you forgot that the Black Fox Tribe members are actually different from us in that they gain more power during an eclipse?" Miya said.  The rest of the people sighed.

***********************************************

"What a perfect timing," Katyusha said with a smile.  "The eclipse is coming up within two weeks.  And guess what people?"  The rest of the people looked up.

"What?" Holly asked.

"Don't tell me that you killed another groundhog," Ada said as she rolled her eyes.

"That's not worth talking about.  I kill about ten a day," Katyusha said as she looked at Ada matter-of-factly.

"Then what is it that you have to tell us?" Jini asked.

"I found out where Daphne is," Katyusha said with a victorious smile.

"What?" the other girls gasped.

"It was easy," Katyusha said.  "I did use the groundhogs though.  I told them that they would have to find Daphne for me or else I wouldn't give them the heal to the poison that I made them eat."

"You and the groundhogs," Ada said.

"You would have to thank the fact about me and the groundhogs," Katyusha said.

***********************************************

"There's something wrong with Jae Won," Julie said as she came back from her flying.

"What?  Why?" Grace asked.

"He's with Michi," Julie answered.

"What?" the rest of the girls exclaimed.

"That's impossible though," Miya said.  "Why would Michi get close to him?  Unless she's trying to get close to us but she knows that a whole group of us are around Daphne already."

"Why did those Black Foxes suddenly want to capture Daphne unnie?" Grace asked.

"That's because they want to go against the two tribes.  Actually, I should say three tribes because the Gray Fox Tribe would have to enter this sooner or later anyway," Dream said.

"Gray Fox Tribe�I'm not sure if they are good or bad," Julie said.

"Why?" Miya asked.  "They always helped us in fights and everything."  Julie looked at her.

"You know.  That Hisashi.  You never know if he's on the Black Foxes Tribe or our side," Julie answered.  "Sometimes he helps us and sometimes he helps the other group.  I get really, really confused by him."  The others nodded.

"Basically, I get confused with all the members of the Gray Fox Tribe except for the leaders and the warriors," Tiff said with a sigh.  Suddenly, something ran into the room and jumped right on Tiff, which made Tiff scream.

"What in the world was that?"  Cindi yelled as she peeked at the thing on Tiff.  It was a gray thing.  When everyone looked, the gray thing licked Tiff before it got off of her.  It transformed into a human shape when it was on the ground.

"So how's all of you?" Hisashi said with a grin.

"Not good after being scared by you!" Tiff said.

"Aww�my poor little Tiff," Hisashi said.  "I scared you?"

"So what are you doing here Hisashi?" Dream asked.  Hisashi grinned again.

"Are you sure that you want to know?" Hisashi asked.  Dream shrugged.

"Who knows if you are telling the truth or not?" Miya asked.  Hisashi looked at her.

"Oh.  I knew that Miya never liked me right?" Hisashi said.  Miya rolled her eyes.

"So what did you want to tell us?" Julie asked.

"Well�" Hisashi started.  Everyone looked at him.

"Are you going to say it or not?" Cindi asked, getting a little impatient.

"I would," Hisashi answered.  "What I wanted to say�has to do with the Black Fox Tribe."

"I would have guessed that.  Go to the main point please," Dream said.

"Kai decided to get herself a boy," Hisashi finally said.  The girls all went back to their seats.  "What?  That's not good enough news?"

"Hisashi�There are a lot of male Black Fox Tribe members," Dream said.  "There's no mystery that one day Kai would get a boy.  She over what?  A thousand years old?"

"No," Hisashi said.  "I'm not talking about that.  I'm talking about that she's getting ready to get herself a human boy."

"What!?" the rest of the girls jumped up.

"Are you sure about that?" Tiff asked.  Hisashi nodded.

"I don't think that we need to be THAT scared right?" Grace said.  "It's not really our business."

"I'm just afraid that it's someone that we know," Miya said.

***********************************************

"I'm sorry," Min Woo heard someone say behind him.  He turned around and saw a very pretty girl.

"Yes?" Min Woo asked with a light smile on his face.

"Do you think that you could find out where this place is?" the girl said as she held up a piece of paper to Min Woo.  Min Woo picked the paper up and looked at the address.  He then smiled.  He looked at the girl and nodded.

"Yeah.  Of course I do," Min Woo answered.  The girl looked at Min Woo happily.

"For real?  Do you think that you could show me the way to the house?" the girl asked.  Min Woo nodded.

***********************************************

"This is the place?" the girl asked.  Min Woo nodded.  He reached into his pocket and fished out his keys.  The girl looked at Min Woo in surprise.  Min Woo looked at her and smiled.

"Are you the girl that my mother told me about?  My name is Lee Min Woo," Min Woo said.  The girl gasped.

"So you're Min Woo!?" the girl exclaimed.

"I heard from my mother yesterday that you would be coming over to live for a while so we rented this house for you to live in while you are here.  I live somewhere around this area.  He peeked around the neighborhood and pointed to a place not too far off.  "That's where I'm living at.  If you have any problems, you could come over and look for me."

"Oh thanks so much," the girl said.  She then looked at Min Woo shyly and said, "By the way, my name is Kai."

***********************************************



Chapter 15

Kang Ta looked at Daphne.

"How weird that you always come home after I go and see Daphne," Kang Ta muttered.  Then he laughed.  "So weird to have the two of you be called the same name."  Kang Ta looked at Daphne.  "Do you know that I found that girl that I named you after?" Kang Ta said with a smile.  "And she promised to be my girlfriend.  I'm so happy.  I just wish that you wouldn't always run out the in the morning.  I think that she would like you a lot."

Yeah, sure.  Someone would not like their regular form.  Daphne thought to herself.  I should really get Gracie in here also.  Oh well.  She's having too much fun with that Leslie guy.

"Do you think that Daphne loves me?" Kang Ta suddenly asked as he prepared himself to go take a shower.  Daphne looked at him.  "Yeah.  I know that it's weird in that I suddenly ask that question and she's my girlfriend.  I'm just scared that she might leave me."

Haha.  I would like to know how many girls would like to leave you, Kang Ta.  Daphne thought to herself again.  I don't think that many girls would, if any.

Kang Ta then sighs.  Finally, he smiled again.

"I should be happy now though.  She's my girlfriend right now, anyways," Kang Ta said as he nodded to himself and went into the bathroom.  Daphne laughed to herself as she jumped off of the bed and went out of the door.

***********************************************

"What's your percentage now, Daphne?" Miya asked.  Every night, Daphne goes out to practice for her powers to come back to her.

"I'm down to two percent now.  That means that the eclipse would be around soon," Daphne said with a sigh.

"I think that we should get the protection set up," Julie said.  "That way, the Black Foxes could definitely not get close to us."

"But you have to remember that if we do that, the people from the three fox tribes would find us immediately," Miya said.

"You could say that Dream and you were protecting yourself," Tiff said.  Miya and Dream smiled bitterly.

"If you only knew that since this morning, there was an order to capture the two of us," Dream said with a sigh.

"What?  Why would His Highness do this?" Grace exclaimed.

"We never returned.  We were suppose to go back immediately after two days.  We came out for more than ten days," Miya explained.

"We are under the wanted list as well now," Dream said.

"That means that we are completely in the open now and we can't do anything about it," Cindi said with a frown.

"That's right," Daphne said as she sat down on the floor.  "We could just wish that they can't find us, which I really doubt."

***********************************************

"Hehe�three more days before the eclipse," Kabuki said.  "It's time for the ultimate attack against the White Foxes and the Birds."

"They're going to pay back for what they did to me," Holly said with a grin.

"Why does the word revenge sound so sweet?" Saeri said with a smile.

***********************************************

"Kai?" Min Woo said as he stuck his head into her living room.  "Weird.  I thought that I heard her in here a while ago.  He then started to walk into the back where her room was. 

The door was slightly open so he looked in.  He saw her in meditation position and there was a circle of black around her.  He then closed his eyes and looked again.  There was no more.  "That's weird.  Must be my eyes."  Kai opened her eyes and smiled.

"Min Woo oppa," Kai called out.  "What's up?  What's the matter?"  Min Woo shook his head.

"It's must be my eyes today," Min Woo said.  Kai then smiled at him.  She looked at the way that he was dressing.

"Are we going out today?" Kai asked.  Min Woo nodded.

"I'm going to take you to see my friends and their girlfriends if they have one," Min Woo said.

"Really?" Kai asked with a happy smile.

"Yeah.  I want you to meet them since you'll be here for a while and I'm pretty sure that you are going to be seeing them all the time," Min Woo said.

"Oh," Kai said.  She then looked at Min Woo.  "Do you have a girlfriend?"  Min Woo immediately nodded with a smile.

"She's going to be there as well.  I'm sure that you'll really like her," Min Woo said.  "She's so sweet."  Kai smiled.

"You seem to like her a lot, Min Woo oppa," Kai commented.

"Of course," Min Woo said with a definite nod.  "You know how hard it was for me to get her as my girlfriend?  Although I was sure that she didn't hate me, I'm not that sure at the beginning that she liked me as well."

"Really?" Kai asked.  "How could anyone not like Min Woo oppa?"  Min Woo smiled again.

"Thanks Kai.  But it's weird when you like a girl.  You are never too sure about yourself anymore," Min Woo said.  "I'm sure that you two are going to get along.  She's a really nice girl and she's a really special girl."

"I'm sure that we'll get along as well," Kai said.

***********************************************



Chapter 16

"Yo Min Woo!  Who's this girl?" Hye Sung asked as he looked at Kai.

"It's my mother's friend's daughter.  She just came over from the United States so she's living around the area of my house that I rented," Min Woo answered.  "She's going to be staying here for a while so I figured that you people should meet her."

"Hi.  My name is Kai," Kai said as she bowed to the rest of the people.

"Wow!  She's a really pretty girl," Tony said.

"Haha!  Keep your eyes on your Poyan, Tony," Eric said.  Tony punched him playfully.

"Where's Ji Hye and the rest of the people?" Min Woo asked as he looked around.

"They're not here yet," Kang Ta answered as he kept on looking out the window.  "They're coming over later."

"The whole group of girls right?" Min Woo asked.  Kang Ta nodded.

"They better come soon before Kang Ta turns into a giraffe," Hee Jun joked.  The rest of the people laughed as Kang Ta turned a little red.

***********************************************

"The negative energy level is getting higher," Miya send the telepathic message to the rest of the people on the van.  The rest of the people nodded.

"There's at least two in there," Dream concluded as she looked in the direction of the house - the direction where the negative energy was also coming from.

"Tonight's the night of the eclipse," Daphne suddenly said out loud.  The rest of the girls looked at her.

"How do you know?" Victoria asked with a interested smile.

"When I lose something, there's always an eclipse.  I'm especially quick at losing that thing these few days," Daphne said.  The rest of the people then understood what she was saying - she had completely lost her powers tonight.  (Daphne was hurt earlier so therefore, it was quicker for her to lose her energy than the other girls.)

"What happened to Grace?" Eun Hee asked.  "I thought that she's coming along with us?"

"She's going later," Poyan answered.  "I think that she's going with that Leslie guy."

"Him again?  I would think that she's obsessed with Leslie," Emily joked.

"Well I would think that that's true since I see her with him all the time," Wei Lin said with a smile.

***********************************************

The doorbell rang.

"I'll go get it!" Kang Ta said as he jumped from his seat next to the window and ran to the door.

"Dang.  He's quick," Min Woo said.

"Of course.  You should see how careful he is with Daphne.  I guess it's because he's not too sure about whether she likes him or not," Brian said.

"I guess you are the same with your Ji Hye also, Min Woo," Fany said with a smile.  "I wouldn't be talking about anyone else."

"Hey!  Everyone knows that you love Wei Lin so don't be talking about the two of us who has girlfriends," Min Woo protested.  People laughed at Fany as he turned red.

"Hey!  If you like Wei Lin, tell her man," Woo Hyuk said.

"What about you?" Jun Jin asked Woo Hyuk.  "Did you start to charm your Julie?"  Woo Hyuk smiled as he shrugged.

"I'm not too sure about how to go about with her.  She promised to go to the movies with me next week.  What about you and Miya?" Woo Hyuk asked.  Jun Jin smiled.

"We're entering the Lover Dancing Contest," Jun Jin said.  The other boys looked at him with widened eyes.

"You're fast man," Andy said.

"Nah.  I told her that I just want to win the contest and she's so good in dancing," Jun Jin said.  "I wouldn't want to scare her with fast moves."  The rest of the people laughed.

"Hey!  We're talking too much in front of Kai!  She'll tell them to the rest of the girls," Dong Wan joked.  Min Woo laughed.

"She won't," Min Woo said.  Kai smiled.

"Hey!  You never know," Kai said softly as she stole a glance at Michi, who was sitting beside Jae Won.  Michi smiled at her.  The people laughed again.

"You have a really good sense of humor, Kai," Jae Won said.  Kai smiled.

"Hey!  Why are you people starting to party without the two of us?" Poyan demanded.  Tony went over to her and held her hand as they walked over to the group.

"We would never start this party without you girls," Tony said.  He then whispered in Poyan's ears, "Especially without you."  Poyan smiled.

"Hey!  Why don't Jun Jin and Miya show us how they are going to dance at the contest?" Dong Wan suggested.  The rest of the people cheered the two of them on.

"No!" Jun Jin said.

"Aww�Why?" Hye Sung asked.

"Because all of you would have to be there to cheer us on," Jun Jin said.  "Right Miya?"  Miya turned and smiled at him.  Since she entered the room, she was looking at Michi and Kai who were looking at the girls and her.

"Ji Hye, I would like you to meet one of my mother's friend's daughter.  Her name is Kai," Min Woo introduced as he pulled Ji Hye over.

"Hi!  How are you?  My name is Ji Hye."  Kai smiled lightly as she held out her hand to shake hands with Ji Hye.  When her hand touched Ji Hye's, Ji Hye immediately took her hand out.

"What's the matter?" Min Woo asked.  Ji Hye shook her head as she continued to look at Ji Hye who was smiling.

"Nothing.  Maybe�It's just static," Ji Hye said.  Min Woo nodded.

"You don't like her too much do you, Kai?" Michi asked Kai through telepathic waves.  Kai smiled.

"Why should I when she's Min Woo's girlfriend?" Kai asked.  Michi laughed.

"Of course not.  I think that I'll have her dead by tomorrow if she was Jae Wonnie's girlfriend," Michi said.  "It's the eclipse tonight."  Kai nodded.

***********************************************

"Hi people!  I'm here!" Grace's voice was heard.

"Hi Grace!  Whoa!  You have Leslie here again, don't you?" Hee Jun asked.  Grace smiled.

"How is everyone?" Leslie asked with a smile.  His eyes then landed on Kai and Michi.  "I see that we have two more new people tonight."  Michi and Kai smiled.

"How do you do?" Michi asked.

"Fine.  And you?" Leslie asked.

"Pretty good," Michi answered.

"Didn't see you the last time, did I?" Leslie asked.  Michi shook her head slowly.

"I just became Jae Wonnie's girlfriend not that long ago," Michi announced.  The people all turned to look at Jae Won, who was looking at Michi in shock.  "Right, Jae Wonnie?" Michi asked Jae Won as she turned to look at him.  Jae Won immediately nodded.

"Congratulations!" the rest of the people said to Jae Won.  Jae Won smiled at them while he looked at the people with a somewhat confused look on his face.

***********************************************

"It must have been her own idea," Miya said.  They were now outside looking at the stars and the moon.  It was two hours before the eclipse.

"But you can't deny that Jae Won liked the idea of it also," Dream said.  "Or else he wouldn't have gone along with it."

"That's not good.  What if one day, we are forced to hurt her?" Julie asked.

"Hopefully, we don't get killed tonight," Cindi said with a grimace.  The rest of the people sighed.

***********************************************

"You like Min Woo?" Michi asked as she and Kai were also outside but a little distance off from the other group of girls.  Kai smiled.

"I'm interested in him.  Not like," Kai answered.  "I never liked anyone."  Michi nodded.

"I noticed that," Michi answered.

"What about you?  You like Jae Won, don't you?" Kai asked.  Michi hesitated for a while.  She then finally nodded.

"I do.  I never felt that kind of feeling for someone for a long time already," Michi admitted.  "It just happened.  I guess it's good because I get to get closer to those girls."  Kai laughed.

"Don�t find excuses Michi.  You know that you would have stayed next to Jae Won even if those girls left," Kai said.  Michi nodded.  Kai then looked at her with a serious face.  "You know that members of the Black Fox Tribe are not suppose to have feelings for humans right?  Because once they have feelings for humans, or any male or female, they would become soft," Kai said.  Michi nodded with a bitter smile.

"What could I do?  I know that I like Jae Won but I can't do anything about it anymore," Michi said.  Kai sighed.

"I guess it wouldn't really matter.  Just don't let him know about your identity," Kai said.  Michi nodded.

"I know that.  That's the most important," Michi said.
