There's A Spy Among Us {Harai/Maven}

[Nicolette]

Katherine smiled and scratched Sven's ears gently as he meowed at her. She took another drag of her cigarette before looking out the window, gazing up at the moon.

After a few moments of silence, she softly began to hum to herself. The tune was unfamiliar. She shut her eyes, her humming turning into soft singing. Her words were in English, soft, gentle... And sad. She clenched her eyes shut and she paused in her singing for a moment, bringing her cigarette to her mouth for a moment and taking a deep drag. She slowly let it out, and the song continued.

"I'll be searching for you, though the deepest waters of the ocean... I'll be searching for you, though the darkness of the woods... I'll be searching for you, over the highest mountains... I'll keep looking for you, until I'm finally in your arms again...."

"Ah, the Student Council Historian?"

Haruka knew a lot about the boy. Anything in his records, she knew. He had been one of the more recent members she had researched. Nothing was too interesting about him, though, that his files showed. She was sure that beyond the files, there had to be some sort of dirt on him.

And she would find it.

[Faye]

Sven continued to sit on the window sill, waiting for the hour to be up but a beautiful melody was coming from Katherine lips as he couldn't help but stare at her in awe, she had such a beautiful voice, no wonder she was Anima. He wished he could talk to her... and ask her why the lyrics, why were they so sad? Was she talking about that Nick guy from her past?

He mentally sighed and gazed out the window, looking at all the twinkling stars with a different perspective being a cat and all.

~*~*~*~

Faye blinked.

"You know him?" She asked curiously, Haruka knew of a lot of people and it scared her sometimes. "You sure know a lot of people, I barely know who the Vice President and who the President of the Council are..." Nick something was the President, now the Vice-President was a complete mystery to her. He wasn't even at the dance from what she could see.

Or was he? She shrugged it off. She thought about her time with Isley and sighed contently about him. He was so dreamy~ but he was always messing with her gullible like nature.

[Nicolette]

As she let off the note of the song, Katherine let out a frustrated sigh, bringing her cigarette to her lips and taking a harsh intake of breath with it. She coughed a bit and brought her hand to her mouth, wincing a little as she set her cigarette in the ashtray. When she finished coughing, she glared out the window, trying to keep herself from showing any sign of tears.

"Damn that fucker..." She muttered darkly before shaking her head. She put out her cigarette and turned her body so she could lean her back against the wall just next to the window while still sitting on her table. She shut her eyes and let out a deep sigh before couging again. She brought her hand to her mouth again and when she finished coughing, there was a little bit of blood in her hand.

Cursing under her breath in German, she grabbed a tissue from nearby and wiped her hand before tossing it in the little garbage can. So, tonight was going to be one of those nights...


~*~*~*~*~

"Nicolette De la Fontaine and Sven Carlisle." Haruka said with a light shrug as she scooped up some more rice. Those names were easy; She'd been looking up information on Nicolette since the day the girl was elected to be Student Council President. And Sven was simple as well, considering she had just spied on him with her partner in crime.

[Faye]

At Katherine's cursing, Sven glanced back at her, tilting his head to the side, curious to know what she was talking about. He had calmed down a lot ever since he had turned into the cat and he felt a bit of nausea coming on. What was going to--

He turned back into a human. Naked and sitting on the cool wood of the window sill. "No matter how many times this happens, it still shocks me," He said as he stood up and went over to the couch to put his clothes back on before Katherine saw too much of him and his naked body.

He would have to see her naked soon. She got to see him naked all the time because of his stupid curse.

~*~*~*~

Faye nodded, taking those names in, she knew she would probably forget them by the next day but she was really surprised at how much Haruka knew. Did she have like a photographic memory or something? She shrugged yet again.

"Ah," She said, and remembered her encounter with the Student Freedom Force leader, she glanced back to Haruka, "I do know the Student Freedom Force leader's name, though," She said, not realising how confidential that was actually meant to be, but he was so open about it.

Besides, she was glad the subject was averted from her date with Isley.

[Nicolette]

Katherine's eyes widened a little when Sven transformed back and she quickly shut her eyes to keep from seeing too much, though she did catch a glimpse. She blushed red and waited a few moments, trying to distract herself by thinking of other things.

Like... her singing.

She wasn't sure if she'd be able to do it much anymore... She'd taken up the habit of smoking after becoming Matthew, and so it had slowly started to affect her lungs. Hell, earlier, the blood... She never had the best health, so it was no wonder she was coughing up blood. She was just thankful Sven had been to distracted to see.

She cracked one eye open, looking in her boyfriend's direction. "Dressed yet?"


~*~*~*~


Kyerin had waltzed right up to the stage and announced himself to the entire school. It was no doubt who the Student Freedom Force leader was, but she supposed it was for the best. People interested in becoming members would be able to locate him faster. However, they'd had very few students interested in joining. That damned Student Council.

"Ah, yes, Kyerin Saito..." A small pink blush came to her cheeks.

[Faye]

Sven picked up his printed boxers and slipped them onto his form, adjusting certain parts of him and buttoning the small button on the front of them. He wondered how they always kept coming undone. He then picked up his black slacks and pulled them up over his legs.

He turned to Katherine as she asked if he was dressed yet and he smiled, "Yeah," He said as he walked back over to her, draping his arms around her shoulders as he sat beside her on the small table in front of the window.

"Are you okay? Your coughing before didn't sound too good."

~*~*~*~

Faye nodded and took no notice of Haruka's blush when his name was mentioned, in fact, she didn't even see it. She moved out of the kitchen and into the living room where she picked up the remote to the television, turning it on. There was meant to be a good thriller like movie on soon, she wanted to see what it was like.

"Mmm~ so, did you have an overall good night?" She asked her, not looking back at Haruka as she surfed the channels.

[Nicolette]

Katherine leaned against her boyfriend, shutting her eyes as she breathed slowly. She didn't need him to worry about her, though, so she smiled weakly and gave him a wave of her hand.

"It's nothing." She said simply before she got up from the table and stretched a little. "I'm feeling really sleepy, so I think I'm going to go crawl into bed, if that's alright." She glanced back at him.


~*~*~*~*~


Haruka was coming to the end of her meal. She scooped some rice and some chicken and ate them, savoring the last few bites of her meal. She soon finished and threw away her box, putting the fork into the sink as she glanced over at the television. Nothing interesting was on, so she would most likely go to her room and get right to work.

She blinked at Faye's question, but after a moment, a small, affectionate smile came to her lips.

"Yes... I did." She said softly, her voice warm. She turned and walked to her bedroom, turning back out to look at Faye. Her smile had disappeared by then. "If you need me, I'll be in my room. If not, then have a good night."

She disappeared into the bedroom, shutting her door behind her. She plopped down on her bed and picked up her energy drink, popping the top of the can and taking a long sip before she put it on her night stand. She pulled her briefcase out from underneath her bed and placed it on her lap as she opened it up. As it booted up, she pulled the camera out of her purse and took the cord of it, plugging it into a USB port.

And so, her night would be spent putting the video onto her computer and searching for the face that matched the one of Sven's partner.

[Faye]

Sven kissed the top of her head gently as he stood up right again to offer her his hand to take, "C'mon then~" He said sweetly, leading her into her room, he wouldn't offer to sleep beside her unless she wanted him to.

~*~*~*~

Faye continued to flick through the channels but gave up as she had gone right through them all and found nothing was on quite, the movie she wanted to watch wasn't going to be on for another twenty minutes or so and she couldn't be bothered waiting so she decided to go to bed.

"See you in the morning then, Haruka~" She said softly as she flipped the television off and escaped into her bedroom, a smile spread out on her lips, remembering what had happened that night and how amazing it had been.

She pulled her blankets out and sat on her bed, thinking about what she would do until she felt tired enough to go to sleep. So she pulled out a board and a few sheets of blank paper and reached for a pencil from her drawer as well as an eraser. From there, she thought about what to draw.

[Nicolette]

Katherine smiled and took Sven's hand, leading her off to her bedroom. They walked inside and she motioned him toward the direction of her bed as she walked over to her desk. She reached into her pockets and took out her cigarettes and lighter, placing them in the first drawer of the desk before she shut it.

She reached out and took her contacts case, opening the two little caps at the top. She removed her contacts one by one and slipped them into the little cases before she screwed the caps shut and set the case off to the side. She retrieved her glasses case from nearby and opened it to pull her glasses out, putting them on. She blinked to adjust to them before she tossed the case to her bed and walked over to her dresser. She pulled out a simple t-shirt and boxers.

She removed her button up shirt, leaving her completely nude from the waist up for a moment, before she slipped the shirt over her head. She kept her back to her boyfriend as she unbuckled her belt and unbuttoned her pants, sliding her jeans to the floor along with the pair of boxers she'd been wearing. She kicked them over to the side before she slid up the pair of clean boxers. From Sven's view, as she pulled up the boxers, her shirt came up a little to reveal a bare hip, showing she was wearing nothing under the boxers.

She scooped up her laundry and threw them into a basket before she walked over to her bed and plopped down on it, next to Sven.
