Chapter 27

"That son of a -"

"Min Woo!  You promised me that you wouldn't be angry!" Kai said as she pulled Min Woo down.  Min Woo looked at her.

"How could I not be angry when he did such a thing to you!?" Min Woo said.  He then took Kai's hand off of himself gently and grabbed his jacket.  "I'll be back soon.  Just sit here and wait."

"Wait!" Kai said.  "Let me go with you."  Min Woo hesitated for a while and finally nodded.

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

"Oing?  That looks like Min Woo's motorcycle," Miya said.  She was looking out the window while the rest of the people were either taking care of Woo Hyuk or Julie.  The girls looked up.

"What is he doing here?" Grace asked as she looked toward the window weirdly.

"Hey!  That's Kai with him!" Miya said as she pointed out the window.  "He looks angry at something."  She then looked at the rest of the girls.  "You don't suppose that�"

The doorbell rung.

"I'll go get it," Cindi said as she got up and went to the door.  Min Woo came and stormed right in front of Woo Hyuk.

"How could you do that to Kai?" Min Woo demanded.  Woo Hyuk looked at him.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Woo Hyuk asked.

"You know what I'm talking about.  Answer me," Min Woo said.  "You already have Julie.  Why can't you leave your hands of Kai?"

"What!?" Woo Hyuk almost jumped out of the sofa.  He then fell weakly back onto the sofa.  "What are you talking about?  Me?  Laying my hands on her?"  Min Woo nodded.

"Exactly.  Admit it," Min Woo then turned toward Julie.  "I know that you love Woo Hyuk a lot but that doesn't mean that you could sacrifice Kai to keep someone you love."

"What!?" Julie asked as her eyes widened.  "What are you talking about?"

"You were trying to force Kai to sleep with Woo Hyuk!" Min Woo yelled.

"What!?" all the girls in the room yelled.

"Min Woo�Are you delirious or something?" Tiff asked as she shook her head.  Min Woo turned and looked at her.

"I know that you are Julie and Woo Hyuk's friends.  I don't blame you for helping them.  Please keep out of this," Min Woo said.  Tiff looked at him with a weird expression.

"You don't know what you are talking about Min Woo.  I think that it's the other way around," Woo Hyuk said.  Min Woo turned and looked at Woo Hyuk.

"Woo Hyuk�Don't lie anymore," Min Woo said.  "Kai told me everything already."

"What did she tell you?" Julie asked.  Min Woo looked at her.

"She told me that you tried to trick her into eating a sleep powder.  When she figured out that it was a cup of water with sleep powder, she refused to drink it.  You then tried to force her to sleep with Woo Hyuk.  She resisted and she ran out of the door.  While she was running down the stairs, either you or Woo Hyuk pushed her down," Min Woo said.  He then looked at Woo Hyuk, who was shaking his head.

"I can't believe that you would actually believe her.  How many years have we met one another?" Woo Hyuk asked.

"Years are never long enough to tell what a person is like," Min Woo said as he turned away.  Woo Hyuk then smiled a bitter smile.

"It seems that I'm going to lose a friend today," Woo Hyuk said as he looked at Min Woo.

"With what you did to my girl�I don't think that I could remain being your friend," Min Woo said.  He then took Kai's hand and left.

"Woo Hyuk�" Julie called out.  Woo Hyuk shook his head.

"Close the door first," Woo Hyuk said.  Daphne looked at everyone guiltily.

"It's all my fault," Daphne said.  "If I would only stay and marry Alex�All of this would never happen."  Woo Hyuk shook his head again.

"It would have happened if it was meant to happen," Woo Hyuk said.  He then shook his head again.  "Friends are suppose to trust one another."  He then looked at Julie.  "At least I still have you, right?"  Julie nodded.

"And don't forget us and your other friends," Grace said with a smile.  Woo Hyuk smiled back at her.

"You're wrong, Daphne.  I'm so glad that I met all of you," Woo Hyuk said.

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

Kang Ta looked at Woo Hyuk with eyes that were about to pop out of his eye sockets.

"She tried to rape you!?" Kang Ta asked.  Woo Hyuk nodded.

"And she managed to make Min Woo believe that I tried to rape her," Woo Hyuk said sadly.  Kang Ta shook his head.

"You can't blame him though.  He doesn't know the true identity of Kai," Kang Ta said.  Woo Hyuk nodded.

"I know.  I don't blame him at all," Woo Hyuk said.  Kang Ta then smiled.

"At least now, I have someone that I could talk to," Kang Ta said.  Woo Hyuk nodded.

"I guess we're not suppose to let the other people know, right?"  Woo Hyuk asked.  Kang Ta thought for a while and then nodded.

"Because they won't believe it," Kang Ta said.

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

"So what's this whole deal about White Fox Tribe and Black Fox Tribe hatred?" Woo Hyuk asked as the rest of the people sat down at the table in Woo Hyuk's house.

"Ok�Let's explain this slowly.  I think that you would be able to understand the basic Fox tribes idea right?" Miya asked.  Woo Hyuk nodded.

"We just don't know about the hatred between the two groups," Kang Ta said.

"Not just you.  All of us," Daphne said.

"So is it time to tell the whole story yet, Dream?" Julie asked.  Dream smiled.

"Well�"

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



Chapter 28

"Well, it all started off about nine hundred fifty years ago," Dream said.  "I think that that was the first time that they found out that Daphne was the only fox available for bearing human changing foxes with any tribe, right?  And you were just born right?"

"Yeah," Daphne said with a bitter face.

"Don't be like that," Miya said, attempting to cheer her dongseng up.  Daphne smiled at her.

"Anyways, do you all remember there's this forbidden group called the X-members?" Dream asked.  The rest of the people except for Woo Hyuk and Kang Ta nodded.

"Who are they?" Kang Ta asked.

"They are a group of people that the members of the White Fox Tribe are never allowed to get close to," Daphne explained.  "There's a group of these kind of foxes in every tribe.  They are said to be born from and with evilness."  Kang Ta and Woo Hyuk nodded with understanding.

"Do you remember that there were no Black Fox Tribes at that time?" Dream asked.  The rest of the girls looked at one another and then thought.

"Oh yeah!  I remember," Grace said.  Daphne nodded.

"There were only the three major fox tribes at that time," Daphne said.  Dream nodded.

"I could tell you that it was non-existent at that time," Dream said.

"Then how did it appear?" Woo Hyuk asked.  Dream smiled.

"I'll tell you soon enough," Dream said.  "It so happens that one year, about fifty to a hundred years after Daphne was born, a new girl fox was born to the X-members.  The weird thing was that the evilness and negative energy that she released was so enormous that more than half of the people got sick the day that she got born."

"Whoa!  Who were her parents?" Kang Ta asked.

"According to what I know," Dream said, "her mother is from the X-members and her father was part of the regular White Fox Tribe members."  She then looked at Daphne and Grace.  "I even heard that her father was your uncle."  Daphne and Grace looked at Dream.

"You're talking about�" Daphne started.  Dream nodded.

"You're youngest uncle," Dream said.

"He was said to be the best looking out of the whole entire White Fox Tribe at that time, no?" Grace asked.  Dream nodded.

"The worst thing was that he was very curious.  At that time, there was a rumor out there that there was a very pretty young female among the X-members.  It turned out to be the child's mother.  They fell in love.  But you should all know that it's against the rules," Dream said.

"But they could leave, right?  That's one of the rules," Miya said.  Dream shook her head.

"Not if you are the controller of the whole entire army in the White Fox Tribe," Dream said.  "At that time, I was only in training.  I couldn't do anything."  She looked at Daphne and Grace again.  "Your uncle was the person who trained me.  He told me everything.  I'll tell you now - for one thing, this was not a legend; it's from he himself."

"He really fell in love with that woman?" Grace asked.  Dream nodded.

"The woman was forced to abort the baby but she didn't want to.  The royalties got really upset about it because there was another legend that said that the baby by a X-member and a regular White Fox member would be the most evil fox of the century," Dream said.

"That sounds like Kai," Julie muttered.

"That's exactly who it is," Dream said.  Julie looked surprised.

"It was?" Julie asked.

"She was the child given birth by the X-member and Daphne's uncle," Dream said.  "That time, she was really young but she had the mind of a being at the age of nine hundred."

"That's counted as a teenager in the tribes," Daphne explained to the two boys.

"She was the one who made the Tribal Bridge of Trade fell," Dream said.

"What?  Although she has the mind, she definitely doesn't have the power, no?" Grace asked.

"She didn't have the power.  She had the brains to get someone else to do it," Dream said.  "I still remember the little boys that actually listened to her.  They got into trouble but no one would believe what they said when they were telling the truth."

"Who would believe that a little baby would do such a thing?" Woo Hyuk asked.  Dream nodded.

"Exactly," Dream answered.  She then thought for a while.  "Daphne and Grace's uncle finally decided that he wanted to leave with Kai and her mother.  The royalties reluctantly accepted his choice.  They were, of course, not going to let other tribes laugh at them that they weren't able to control their subjects from falling in love with X-members.  They decided to kill Kai and her mother before the uncle could find them."

"Does Kai's mother have any powers at all?" Woo Hyuk asked.  Dream shook her head.

"A female loses her powers completely after she gives birth to a child.  The only thing she has left is her life.  She could live the regular life span of a female who never gave birth before but she would have no powers at all to protect herself," Dream explained.  "She could choose to not live that long however, when she first gives birth to the child.  Within twenty four hours of giving birth to her first child, she could choose to give up her power jewel, which is in her body, and become a regular human, or she could keep it and remain a human."

Kang Ta looked at Daphne.

"That means�that it's the same with every one of you?" Kang Ta asked slowly.  Dream nodded.  Kang Ta then smiled.  "I respect with whatever Daphne chooses."  Daphne blushed.

"Who said that I'm marrying you?" Daphne asked.  Kang Ta smiled and hugged her closer.

"Anyways, the people were sent after her," Dream said.  "The mother could have ran away but she gave up the chance to her child, Kai.  Kai was on the magic boat that her father prepared going away when she saw her mother being captured by the people sent by the royalties.  She then recruited all the X-members of other tribes and the White Fox Tribes and formed the Black Fox Tribe."

"That's pretty sad though," Kang Ta commented.

"Of course it would seem like that," Dream said.  "But I forgot to tell you one thing."  Kang Ta looked at her.

"What's that?" Woo Hyuk asked.

"Every year after Kai was born, an epidemic would spread across the whole entire tribe and a lot of people who die from it.  They were never sure if the epidemics were by accident or they were purposely set out by Kai," Dream said.

"Why would they think that Kai was the one to sent out the epidemic?" Woo Hyuk asked.

"You never see the Black Fox Tribe members getting sick, do you?" Miya asked.

"Another thing is that she always have the medicine for the epidemics," Dream said.

"Why didn't we know all of this?" Daphne asked.

"Because all three of you were locked up in the palace.  The place that you live is so sterile and since you were a child, you were always bath in scentless herbs.  Do you think that we would let you die or get sick that easily?" Dream asked.

"Oh�" Daphne said.  Kang Ta laughed.

"She sneezed after staying too long in the rain the other day," Kang Ta said as he pointed at Daphne.

"That's because she's not use to the human world yet," Dream explained.

"Why weren't we allowed to know about this?" Grace asked.

"This was something that we don't want anyone to know," Dream said.  "You think that it would be nice if all the other tribes know that we have a Black Fox Tribe leader born to us?"  Grace shook her head and then sighed.

"Huh?  What's with the Black Foxes?  Any White Foxes then?" a voice said as the door opened.

"Yeah," everyone answered at once.  They were all deep in thought that they didn't notice that it was Tony who spoke.  Tony walked up to the table and looked at everyone.

"What are you people thinking about?" Tony asked.

"Something," the people answered.

"Uh�Am I the king of this house?" Tony asked.  The people finally snapped back.

"No but you are the king of the monkeys," Poyan said as she walked in behind him.  "Help me here, won't you?"  Tony smiled and went over to help her with the bags.

"What's up with all the bags?" Woo Hyuk asked.

"Oh!  Poyan said that she's going to cook tonight.  Thank God that we bought more food," Tony said.  Woo Hyuk smiled.

"Thanks Poyan," Woo Hyuk said.

"No problem.  I'm such good friends with you and Tony," Poyan said with a smile.  Woo Hyuk smiled again.  Poyan and Tony then walked into the kitchen.

"They're still just friends?" Miya asked.  Woo Hyuk nodded.

"I wish that I could help him tell Poyan that he liked her but he wouldn't let me," Woo Hyuk said.

"I guess he's for real this time, right?" Daphne asked.  Woo Hyuk nodded.

"Wow!  Tony hyung being real in love for one time?" Kang Ta said as he shook his head.  The other people laughed.

"It's hard to believe, but yes," Woo Hyuk said.

"But it seems as if they are pretty close with one another," Grace said.  Woo Hyuk shrugged.

"I just heard from Tony that Poyan just smiled when he asked her to be his girlfriend and turned around.  He caught up with her to ask her but she said that being friends are better than being girlfriend and boyfriend," Woo Hyuk said.

"Hm�What she say is kind of true," Daphne muttered to herself.

"Ahem�Um�so�is there anything else peculiar about the Black Fox Tribe?" Kang Ta asked, attempting to change the subject.

"Nothing that I really know of so far," Dream said.  "Except if you want to know about the other members.

"Uh�I think there was this girl called Holly who walked up to me one day and Daphne said that she was part of the Black Fox Tribe," Kang Ta said.  Dream thought for a while.

"Hm�Maybe Julie was right for once," Dream said.

"About what?" Julie asked.

"About a girl going after Kang Ta to steal him away from Daphne," Dream said with a smile.  Daphne looked up.

"Didn't I already declared possession on him?" Daphne asked.  Kang Ta nodded on the side with a happy smile.

"It's so funny how he's happy to be someone's possession," Tiff said to the rest of the girls.  They all nodded.

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

"Too bad he already know that you are part of the Black Fox Tribe," Saeri said as she shook her head.  "I guess I better go after my target before they start telling him about me also."

"So what if he knows that I'm part of the Black Fox Tribe.  Maybe he would like bad girls better than good girls.  Daphne's probably too goody-goody for his taste," Holly said.  Saeri laughed.

"I don't think that she would be if he's still walking around with her when she isn't even noticing him," Saeri said.

"That's the main part.  If she doesn't notice him, it would be my turn to get into the relationship," Holly said.

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



Chapter 29

"Oing?  What are you doing to my hair?" Daphne asked with a smile as she looked up at Kang Ta.  Kang Ta smiled at her.

"I'm putting flowers in them," Kang Ta said.

"Flowers?" Daphne asked.  Kang Ta nodded.

"I just bought them this morning because I thought that they would look so nice when they are on you," Kang Ta said.

"Hehe�You could trick the birds on the trees to come down," Daphne said.  Kang Ta smiled again.

"Nope.  That trick is only used for foxes and it's only used for one fox in the whole entire world," Kang Ta said.  Daphne smiled and she quickly gave him a kiss on his nose.  "Aww�Only the nose?"  Daphne smiled and nodded.

"Maybe more later," Daphne said.  Kang Ta then smiled again and hugged her from the back.

"I'm so much more use to a little girl who always wears white rather than a female who always wear black," Kang Ta whispered in Daphne's ears.

"Hehe�why are you telling me all of this?" Daphne asked.

"Because I want to make sure that you would always believe me," Kang Ta said.  He then took her hand and took her outside.  "Mind going for a walk with me, my beautiful lady?"  Daphne giggled and walked out with him.

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

"Oh look who we have here?" Kang Ta and Daphne heard a voice say behind them.  They were in the park taking a little walk.  They turned around and saw a female all in black.

"What do you want Holly?" Daphne asked as she looked at the female who was staring at Kang Ta to the point that she's almost drooling.

"Hm�It's pretty obvious, no?" Holly asked as she continued to look at her chosen man.  Kang Ta looked at her and then to Daphne.

"Let's go," Kang Ta whispered to Daphne.  Daphne nodded.  They turned to walk away when Holly jumped and landed right in front of their way.

"Why are you going to early?" Holly asked with a grin.  She then looked at Kang Ta, "Don't you want to spend more time with me, handsome boy?"  Kang Ta suddenly smiled.

"I'm already the possession of a really special lady that I really like so I think that I would rather spend more time with her," Kang Ta said.

"Oh but you must understand that I'm probably more special than that special lady," Holly said as she eyed Daphne.

"No one in my eyes is more special than she is," Kang Ta said as he looked at Daphne.  "Never did, never is, never will."  Holly was not willing to give up just like that.

"I could prove you wrong," Holly said.  Kang Ta shook his head without his eyes leaving Daphne for a second.

"She's the most special," Kang Ta said.  "There's no one but her."  Daphne smiled.  Daphne then turned to look at Holly with a cold expression.

"I don't want you to be here.  If you want to fight, I'm not afraid at all.  I have recovered at least fifty percent of my powers already," Daphne said.  Holly smirked.

"Who said that I want to fight?" Holly said.  She then looked at Kang Ta again.  "Did you hear how brutal she was?  Wouldn't you like a more lady-like girl with you?"  Kang Ta shook his head again.

"I like her because of her.  If she changed one bit, it wouldn't be her anymore," Kang Ta said.  Holly looked at him and then back at Daphne.

"I don't see what you boys see in Daphne," Holly said.

"I don't either," Kang Ta replied.  "I just know that I love her and that's the most important."

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

"Did�did you really mean that?" Daphne asked as they continued to walk around the lake.  Kang Ta looked at her.

"What?" Kang Ta asked.

"About�loving me," Daphne replied.  Holly finally left after several unsuccessful attempts to get Kang Ta.

"Of course," Kang Ta said with a smile.

"But why?  There are so many girls out there better than me," Daphne said.

"Same answer," Kang Ta answered.  "Because you are Daphne, the little white fox that I thought was a dog and I loved for so long, unaware that it was also the beautiful lady.  That beautiful lady that stood outside the door that I fell in love with the first time that I saw her, when she was wearing all white with her long black hair and beautiful big eyes."  Daphne smiled.

"You still remember that, don't you?" Daphne asked.  Kang Ta nodded.

"And never would forget that rain and bath that allowed me to speak with you," Kang Ta said as he got a little red about the bath scene.  Daphne them smiled and kissed him gently on his lips.

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

"Hey!  What do you want to eat tonight?" Poyan asked as she and Tony walked down the aisle.

"Hm�whatever you cook," Tony said.  Poyan smiled.

"You always say that.  You have to make me choose the ingredients," Poyan said as she playfully punched him.  Tony smiled.

"That's because you always choose things that are so good to eat," Tony said.

"You are so bad to me, Tony," Poyan said.

"No I'm not!  Just because I like to eat everything that you like to eat, you say that I'm bad to you?" Tony protested.

"You are so cruel, Ahn Seung Ho," they suddenly heard a voice behind them.

"What?  How would I be cruel?" Tony muttered to himself.

The two of them turned around and saw a woman.

"Why are you saying that I'm cruel?  Do I even know you?" Tony asked.  The female smiled bitterly as she pointed to something�

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



Chapter 30

The woman pointed to her stomach.  Poyan and Tony followed her fingers and saw that she was actually pregnant.

"What are you talking about?" Poyan asked, confused.

"Do you know that you left me pregnant, Ahn Seung Ho?" the woman asked.  Tony's eyes widened.

"What are you talking about?" Tony asked.  Poyan looked at him in shock.

"Remember five months ago, at my house?" the woman asked.

"What?  Who are you?" Tony asked.

"You don't remember me?" the female said as the bitter smile returned to her face again.  "I should have guessed that a guy like you would forget about me."

"What?" Tony asked again.

"I'm Saeri.  Do you remember now?" the female asked.

"What?  I don't know any Saeris!" Tony protested.

"That's because you probably went out with so many girls that you forgot all of their names�Including mine," Saeri said.  "If you already have someone that you like," she said as she pointed at Poyan, "why did you come and look for us?"

"What the hell are you talking about?" Tony asked.

"You came and told us that you wanted someone who you could talk to and understand you.  I believed you," Saeri said.  Tony's eyes looked as if it were about to drop out of his eye sockets.

"What?  I never went to look for women before," Tony said.  Saeri nodded.

"I remember that that was what you told me last time when that other girl got pregnant and came to you," Saeri said.  She then sighed.  "Now I know that she was telling the truth."

"What?  What girl?" Tony asked.  Poyan was shaking her head on the side.

"Tony�I can't believe that you are like this," Poyan said.  Tony shook his head violently.

"I never did anything like that," Tony said.

"Oh�so she's your new victim?" Saeri said.  She then sighed again.  "I guess you wouldn't want me and the child anymore."  She then turned to leave.

"Wait!" Poyan called out.  She turned and faced Tony.  "Ok.  You said that you loved me right?"  Tony nodded.  She then looked at Saeri again.  "I want you to take care of her.  You said that the baby is not yours right?  Then when Saeri gives birth to the child, we would know if it's yours or not."

"I don't see why we have to do this when I know that I'm not guilty," Tony said.

"You are just doing this to prove it to me ok," Poyan said.  She then smiled.  "If you could prove that you are innocent, I might consider being your girlfriend."  Tony's eyes widened with happiness.

"Really?" Tony asked.  Poyan nodded.  Tony then nodded.  "Ok.  I'll do what you say."

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

"This is where you live?" Saeri said as she entered the house that Tony and Woo Hyuk were living in.  Tony nodded.

"Welcome," Tony muttered.  How he wished that it was Poyan instead of her�

"Hm�I think that we should redecorate this place," Saeri said as she looked around.

"What are you planning to do?" Tony asked in a tired voice as he fell into the sofa and turned on the tv.

"Redecorate it," Saeri answered.

"What?" Tony asked.  "You can't do that."

"Why not?" Saeri demanded.

"Because I'm not the only one living in here and you're not the only one living in here," Tony answered.

"I know that," Saeri answered.  "We're living in here together."  Tony shook his head.

"There's another guy who lives in here called Woo Hyuk.  He should be home soon," Tony said.  Right after he said that, the door opened and in came Woo Hyuk and Julie.

"Hi Tony!  What's up?" Woo Hyuk said as he walked in, holding Julie's hand.

"Nothing.  Just that a pregnant woman came up and claims that it's mine," Tony said as he continued to watch his tv.

"What!?" Woo Hyuk asked as he started to laugh.  "We all said that it would happen to you one day."

"Hey!" Tony protested as he finally looked at Woo Hyuk.  "I would never do something like that."  Woo Hyuk nodded.  He then notice that there's someone else in the room.

"She's the one?" Woo Hyuk asked.

"What?  You think that I'm faking this?" Saeri asked.  Woo Hyuk nodded and then quickly shook his head.

"Your stomach might be real.  Who knows?  But it's definitely not Tony's.  He's not that kind that would leave his  descendants flying around the place," Woo Hyuk said with a laugh.  He then noticed that Julie was looking at Saeri and he quickly understood that Saeri was not a regular human.  "So�You say that it's Tony's.  You have proof?"

"We're waiting until I give birth," Saeri answered with her eyebrow raised.

"Oh really?" Woo Hyuk asked.  Saeri nodded.

"You sure that you have a baby?  Or maybe you ate too much for the last few days and got fat?" Julie asked.

"I don't think that I could eat that much," Saeri said through gritted teeth.

"I think that you could," Julie said.  She then whispered low enough so that only Saeri could hear, "but only eat air and make it bloat up."  Saeri raised her hand and was about to hit Julie when she glanced at Tony and lowered her hand.

"Watch your back, bird," Saeri mouthed to her.  Julie just smiled to her victoriously.  Woo Hyuk looked at Julie.

"She's one of them?" Woo Hyuk asked quietly.  Julie nodded.

"Saeri," Julie answered.  Woo Hyuk nodded.

"So I guess she's after Tony then," Woo Hyuk concluded.  Julie nodded.

"We better have another meeting soon," Julie said.  Woo Hyuk nodded.

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



Chapter 31

"Tony�Can you get me a cup of water please?  The doctor said that I can't walk that much," Saeri said.  It was little gathering for the people from SM and Saeri "asked" Tony to let her come along with him.  Tony glanced at her, stood up reluctantly, and went to the kitchen.

"Um�Hi!  My name is Emily," Emily said as she looked at Saeri.



"Eh�does she have hearing problems?" Emily asked Julie in a whisper.  Julie shook her head.

"Gong ju byung," Wei Lin said out loud as she looked away from Saeri.  Saeri glanced at her and ignored her as well.

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

Poyan turned around and saw Tony in the kitchen.  She and Miya were in the kitchen cooking.  Miya saw Tony earlier and had left.

Tony looked at her.  He smiled his first smile for the whole night to her.  Poyan looked away.

"Why aren't you outside helping Saeri?" Poyan asked as she continued cooking with her back toward Tony.

"Because she told me to get a cup of water for her," Tony answered.  And I rather be in here with you.

"Oh," Poyan said.  Tony couldn't make out if she was happy, angry, or any feelings at all.

"Tony�"

"Poyan�"

They then looked at one another and laughed.

"You go first," Poyan said.  Tony shook his head.

"You go first," Tony said.  Poyan then nodded slowly.

"Is Saeri's stomach�really from you?" Poyan asked slowly.  Tony shook his head.

"No," Tony answered.  "Saeri has a face that no one could forget easily.  If I really had�known her, I would have remembered her."  Poyan nodded.

"True.  I don't think that anyone, especially men, could forget how she looks like," Poyan said.  She then looked at him with a mischievous smile.  "And if you really the kind of player that she said you were, then you wouldn't have let her get pregnant that easily."  Tony nodded.

"Exactly!" Tony exclaimed.  He then looked at Poyan carefully.  "Does that mean that you are willing to be my girlfriend?"  Poyan shrugged.

"Yes, no, maybe so?" Poyan replied as she returned to her cooking happily.  She did that so happily that Tony couldn't help but feel that Poyan actually cared about him�

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

"You know�It's weird how the people from the Tribes didn't find us yet," Grace said to the people around her.

"Yeah," Miya said with a nod.  "Usually, they would have caught us already."

"I don't think that I would want to leave until some things get settled around here," Dream said.  She then looked at the note in her hand.

"What's that Dream?" Tiff asked curiously.

"It's a note that Victoria sent to Hee Jun.  Somehow, Michi managed to intercept it but I got it from her before she could read any of it," Dream said.

"And you're reading it?" Cindi asked with a raised eyebrow.  Dream turned slightly red.

"I was just making sure that they are not against us or something," Dream explained.

"Really?" Tiff asked suspiciously.

"Why would I want to read a love letter on purpose?" Dream asked.

"It's a love letter!?" Cindi asked as she reached out for the letter.  Dream took it away before Cindi could reach it.

"Come on, Dream.  Maybe we could help Victoria," Tiff said.

"You two?  Help?" Dream said with a smirk.

"Don't look down on us, Dream," Cindi said.  "We are good at these kind of things."

"Good, eh?  Get your loves before you come to me and tell me that the two of you are good," Dream said.

"What do you mean?" Tiff asked with her face red.

"You know what I mean.  For you, Eric.  For Cindi, Brian," Dream said.

"We're just friends," Cindi said.  Dream nodded.

"That's what I use to say about Dong Wan also," Dream blurted out.

"What!?" the rest of the girls exclaimed.  Dream turned red.

"Oops," Dream muttered.

"You and Dong Wan became a pair?" Miya asked.

"Since when?" Grace asked.

"Why didn't you tell us?" Daphne demanded.

"It's no big deal," Dream said.

"Of course it is," Tiff said.  "We tell you everything but you never told us about this."

"Well, I tell you now that he's my boyfriend ok?" Dream asked as she turned away from the crowd.

"No!  You have to tell us the details," Cindi said as the rest of the girls ran after her.

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

"Kai just sent me a note yesterday," Dream said to the group after they had enough of their little "court" trial.

"What did she say?" Daphne asked.

"She said that she thinks that it's time for the final fight between the two groups," Dream said.

"I thought she was living happily with Min Woo.  What made her suddenly want to make this decision?" Grace asked.

"Who knows," Cindi said.  "I never expected any of those Black Fox Tribe members to be sane anyways."

"Maybe insane," Tiff said.

"But that doesn't mean that she would spend so much time to get Min Woo and then decide to fight," Miya said.  "Unless she's positive that she could win."

"Maybe she wants revenge for Dream hurting her last time," Daphne suggested.  Dream shrugged.

"She says tomorrow.  Then tomorrow it would be.  Do you think you people could handle it?" Dream asked.  The rest of the girls nodded.

"No problem.  I think that I could handle two black foxes as long as none of them is by the name of Kai," Julie said.  The rest of the girls laughed.  "It's true!" Julie protested.

"Yeah," Miya said with a nod.  "We'll just leave the fighting of Kai to Dream."  Dream smiled lightly.

"I don't mind.  I wanted to see if I could beat her one day anyway," Dream said.

"Wow!  That would make your name of Athena of the Foxes be more than right for you," Miya said.  Dream smiled.

"I never really wanted that name," Dream said.  "I'm not that special at all."

"Yes you are, Dream.  You know that.  There's no one in all three tribes who could fight better than you do," Grace said.  Dream smiled.

"Not to mention that you were the only one for the last two thousand years," Daphne added.

"Let's just hope that all of our special ones could get through this time," Julie said with a sigh.  The rest of the people nodded.

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

"I told them that I would meet with them tonight," Kai said to the rest of the girls in the Black Fox Tribe.

"So it's the official time to do our final revenge?" Katyusha asked.  Saeri shrugged.

"If not, we could treat it like an exercise," Holly said.  The rest of the girls smiled.

"Do you think that all of them would come out and fight?  Including those three birds?" Jini asked.

"Of course," Kai answered.  "Do you think that they would let a chance like this to go?  A chance to kill me?"  The rest of the people shook their head.

"Well I guess tonight's the night of the fight," Michi said with a sigh.  "I'll have to call Wonnie and tell him that I can't go out tonight then."  Kai nodded.

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

"Kai?" Min Woo asked as he walked into the house.  "Where are you?"  Min Woo looked around as he walked into the room that Kai sleeps in.  They still slept in different rooms although Min Woo believed that their relationship had changed.  He then walked in and saw a map on the table.

The map showed some place that was near the beach.

"Hm�.what is this?" Min Woo said to himself as he looked at the map.  He saw a big red X in a place on the beach.

There was some dots marked in black and some marked in white on the map but they were all concentrated near the X.

"I wonder if this is where she went�" Min Woo said to himself.

A few minutes later, there was no one left in the house.  The only sound that could be heard was the ticking of the clock and the sound of a motorcycle driving away.

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

"Where are you going?" Kang Ta asked.  He had just opened the door and he found Daphne rushing out.

"I'm just going out to do something and I'll be back�eh�before midnight, ok?" Daphne said as she gave him a peck on the cheek and left.  Kang Ta looked after her with a frown.

"What in the world is she doing?" Kang Ta muttered to himself as he looked into the living room and shook his head.  "They should really learn to keep the sofas straight at least.  It looks as if they were just practicing martial arts."  He then looked at the floor and found a sword there.  "Or maybe they were."  He then shrugged and started to pick up the things on the floor.

Suddenly, he came upon a letter.

"Let us meet and have a final fight.  Kai," Kang Ta read to himself.  He then looked at the address that was located at the bottom of the letter.  "So she was rushing out to the meeting?  That means that they are going to have a fight today!?" Kang Ta almost yelled.  He then threw the letter down and rushed out the door to his car.

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

"Wow!  It's the full moon tonight," Kang Ta heard a person walking on the sidewalk say as he was driving to the location that the fight was going to take place at.  He then looked up at the skies.

"Oh my God�" Kang Ta whispered as his eyes widened and he looked at the skies.  "No�It can't be�"
