the day the black fang clan welcomed to town

"I don't like towns. Too many people to deal with."

*blade8 "its jsut for now"

"I'd rather be back at camp with Yasho."

*blade8 "but id rther be in town"

"You don't understand. I am unwelcome here. I don't feel safe here except when I'm with you."

*blade* "im not welcome here either no1 in the clan is...for now"

"I feel like such an outsider here."

*blade* "ur not alone"

"Then stay close to me. I don't want to be left alone with the townspeople."

"u wont be"

China closed her eyes and soon fell asleep still lying on Blade.

*blade jsut layed there*

China slept until morning.

*blade slept til morning too*

By morning, she could hear everyone's thoughts again. She read Kir's mind and could tell he was thinking about a girl named Miyu.

*kir wasbored thinking about how any1 could even idolize him*

China got dressed and went to see Kir. "Who is Miyu?"

*kir* "some kid who idolyzes me"

"The way you were thinking of her, she had to be much more than just a kid who idolizes you."

*kir8 "just no1 idolyzed me i always worked in the shadows unnoticed and now i havea fan or somethin like that"

"Was she pretty?"

*kir8 "ive spent so much time alone on the job i didnt even notice but if u mean do i like her liek taht shes too young"

"Well, at least you made a friend."

*kir* "yeah"

"Where are the others?"
