"Al, let's go in here for a while!" Julie said. Alexander and julie had taken me shopping. God knows, what for. I saw no way that this activity could be any fun at all. Sigh...

"Alice, do you wanna come?" He asked. I shook my head, and stayed seated on the bench I had claimed as my own. My bench. Julie pulled Alexander into a store that looked like it sold shoes. She had at least one pair of shoes, why would she need more?

I looked up at the ceiling and saw no sun. Just the artificial white lights in ever mall store. Should i turn off, I wondered. No, no if I did some one would try to bring me to a hospital again. I stood up and walked over to the store window. I could see Alexander inside waving at me. I ignored him.

I had a sudden really bad feeling.

Pow!

"Aliiiiiiicccceee!!!" Some one plowed into me knocking me to the ground and huged me so tightly I felt like I was choking. I managed to stand, but with the persons arms around my neck huging the life out of me. I saw their orangeish hair.

"Yuki!?! Get off me you stupid dog!!!" I shouted at her. I tried to shove her off me. She had a firm grip.

"Nope! I'm huging you! See, this is a 'hug'. H-U-G. Heard of it miss immortal?" She chirped.

"Get off!" I shouted again, clearly annoyed.

"Oh no! My legs stopped working! Aahhh..... Nnoo...." She said dramatically. She let her legs go limp and tried to pull me to the ground, it took all my strength to resist her.

"No!! Off!! Stupid dog!! Arrgg!!" I growled in frustration.

"Grrr..." She growled back. I kicked her and she fell off me. "Aahh!! Wolf down, wolf down!!"

I put a hand to my face. "Please turn off your stupidity, its blinding." I asked her. She sat up.

"Well, then you turn off your depressing aura." She said. She stood up and shoved her hands into her pockets. Wow... Really? Depressing aura? Horrible insult Yuki, epic fail.

"So, where have you been? I got found by this guy, and now I have to live with his family until I can find an excuse to leave that won't lead to wanted posters with my face every where." She said.

"Me to..." I said.

Yuki laughed. "You're in the same boat?" She punched my arm slightly. I glared at her. She looked at me curiously. "Are you sure your face isn't stuck in a permanent depressed scowl?" Yuki asked.

She might as well have said 'please hit me, I want to fight'.

I spung at her face but she saw it coming. She countered and tried to kick my stomach. I doged. "Hey! Cat fight!" Some person said.

"What?!" Yuki whirled around and stared at the guy. "No! Not cat fight! It can be a fish fight, a dog fight, an ostrich fight, even a chinchilla fight! But no cats! They're jerks!" I landed a blow on Yuki's shoulder. She Yipped and turned back to me.

She tackled me to the floor and tried to pin me down, but I kept fliping us. So we just rolled. This happened almost every time we fought. We roll, then get up, then bam! We bonk heads and make up.

Yuki pulled me up to a kneeling position and grasped my neck, so I grabbed hers. We choked each other until we were almost dead. And at the same time -_- we both let go and fell from lack of breath.

Yuki sat up. "I sat up first!! I win!" She said.

I sat up to "No! That doesn't count!"

She grinned smirked. "Oh right, but how could a mere mortal like myself understand how your complex way of thinking and rules go?" She said sarcastically.

"That's right, you can't. So I win. End of story." I said as I stood up and turned around.... Turned around right into the face of Alexander. "Oh...." I said. I fixed my headphones, they had gone crooked.

"Hey alice who's that? You know him? Is that the guy who found you? Hi! I'm yuki, alices besssst friennnnnd." She said, standing up and putting her arms around my neck again.

"Th-the girl who pushed you in front of a moving car...?" Alexander managed to choke out.

"Oh you told him that? It was an accident! You would have died if it were on purpose! I would have made sure I that. Oh and where dose this guy live? Calcifer wanted to update you on Angel, but couldn't find you. Apparently something about you makes it hard to track. He said he could do it, but it would make angel lonely and he thought you would be fine on your own. So I sniffed you out!" She spoke triumphantly. "Actually, this was a complete coincidence.... But oh well, cals coming to tell you tonight. So.... Yeah..." She said

Yuki looked at Alexander innocently, then whispered in my ear to low for him to hear "do you liiiiike him?" I grabbed her hands and flipped her over my head almost crushing Alexander. Luckily he moved out of the way just in time. Yuki was shocked, laying on the floor in front of me. She jumped up dizzily. "Wow! Since when could you do that?! Because it would have been really helpful when I was being dragged to the jail cell and you were 'stuck' because he was holding you down!" Yuki huffed.

Alexander looked so confused. Some buff looking guy (maybe 18?) Came tearing around a corner and ran for Yuki. He stopped in front of her, panting and red faced. "You are- you- you little-" he panted more. I gave yuki a curious glance.

"Oh, he's the guy who found me in the ally. I just can't ditch him! He's like glue! Sigh... Hey, let's go and see Angel. I'm sure shes lonely, and your guy won't mind if you get back at, let's say, 10 will he?" Yuki asked me.

Alexander looked like he still didn't believe Yuki existed. She grabbed my arm and ran off. Literally. She tore my left arm off. I was left standing there, left-armless. Alexander looked ready to faint. The red faced guy looked after yuki, obviously knowing he had to follow her again, regretfully. I dashed after her to.
