Ramshackle

"I...choose..." Kiba stopped, looking at everyone. Then her head dropped.

"I'm sorry, I can't choose." She said.

"Eh? What're you on about?" Leona asked.

"I mean I can't choose. They all sound like great dorms, but...I never liked choosing between people because I'm scared of the outcome. I'm sorry, I don't think I can do this." She said.

Everyone was quiet, before Lilia went to her.

He raised his hand, causing her to flinch and shake slightly. But stopped when he placed his hand on her head.

"Fufufu~. Don't worry yourself young one. If anything, I think we should apologize for putting so much pressure on you." He said, rubbing her soft hair.

"Yeah. Sorry about that. I get too excited sometimes." Kalim said, beaming at her.

"Well...if you can't choose a dorm...there is another one you can go to." Crowley said.

"Oh...you're talking about...'that' dorm?" Vil said, in slight disgust.

"What other dorm?" Kiba asked, moving Lilia's hand.

"There's a rundown dorm that abandoned. We call it Ramshackle." Azul said.

"Hm...if that's the only place for me right now...I'll go with that one." She said.

"Great! Now, will everyone go to there respective dorms now? It's quite late." Crowley said.

"Right. Heartslabyul with me." Riddle said, as they left.

Soon, everyone left, leaving Kiba and Crowley alone.

"Say, Ms. Light? You mention Sky Kingdoms...what are those exactly?" He asked.

"Oh, it's....why...why can't I remember it? I-I can't remember! I know what it is, but I can't seem to!" She yelled, gripping her head.

"Hey hey hey now. Calm down! I didn't mean to make you upset." He said, taking her hands.

She looked at him and sighed shakily.

"I'm sorry..I can't tell you." She said.

Crowley sighed sadly, rubbed her and took her hand.

"Let's go to Ramshackle. I hope you enjoy your stay here." He said, sympathetically.

At the Dorm

Kiba sweatdropped slightly when she saw the dorm.

"This is Ramshackle...? It...gives me bad vibes." She said.

Crowley seemed to not hear her.

"Right, right. Please come inside. Staying here will at least keep you out of the rain." He said, as they went inside.

They went in, Kiba instantly regretted coming here.

'I feel like those sand dorms would've been a better idea.' She thought.

"I'm going back to do more research. Make yourself at home! Don't go wandering around the school, goodbye!" Crowley said. leaving.

"Wait a sec- and he's gone...damn bird." She cursed, as she looked around and turned the light one

"Meh, doesn't look to bad. Just needs more reshaping and redesigning" She said, as she conjured some butterflies, mantas and birds.

Her eyes glowed brighter as the whole place began to change. The butterflies, birds and mantas flew around the whole dorm, changing the rooms.

She sighed as she looked around. The butterflies, birds and mantas vanished into bits of light.

"Much better." She said, smiling to herself.

'I wonder if there's any food.' She thought as she went to the kitchen.

Kiba looked around, before hearing rain pour down hard.

'Geez, that's worse than the rain in Hidden Forest...wait...how'd I know that?' She thought, as she looked outside.

Then she heard the doors slam open.

"Hyiii! It's really coming down!" She ran out the kitchen to see...Grim.

"Grim! What the...know what, forget about it. Come in quick!" She said, ushering the tanuki in.

"Gah! What're you doing here?!" He demanded.

"I live here now." She said, as he came in.

She closed the door and went to the lobby.

Grim was shocked by the new look.

"What the hell happened in here?" He asked, getting on the couch.

"It pays to be a goddess of light. You get things done in a blink of an eye." She said, as she grabbed a blanket and drenched it over him.

He sighed at the warm feeling of the blanket. She sat next to him, rubbing his head.

Grim jumped a bit, but didn't seem to mind.

"It can't be good for a fire tanuki like you to get wet so many times in one day. How'd you get back in the school anyway?" She asked, as Grim crawled on her lap.

"If you think getting thrown out is gonna make me give up on getting in, you've got another thing coming!" Grim said.

"Why do you even want to get in this school?" She asked, rubbing him.

"That's simple! I'm a genius who is destined to be a great magician. I've been waiting for the Ebony Carriage to come pick me up. But...But..." Grim trailed off.

"Hmph! The Dark Mirror just doesn't have an eye for this. So that's why I came here on my own. Not letting me in would be a loss for the world, humans just don't get it." He said, sulking.

"Well, yeah. That's there loss. I think you're a great guy Grim. I know someday, you'll be a great magician." She said, scratching behind his ears, causing him to purr.

"Yeah...wait...I know! You'll be my apprentice!" He said, getting off her lap.

"I'm sorry, what?" She asked.

"Yeah, my apprentice! The Great Grim and his apprentice...what's your name again?" He asked.

"Kiba. Kiba Light." She said.

"The Great Grim and his apprentice, Kiba!" He said, striking a pose.

She giggled a bit.

"Man, I wish I had my camera right now." She said, before a chill ran down her spine.

"Grim...I think we're being watched." She said, getting up.

"W-What?" He asked, fearfully.

She looked around the place.

"Alright, come out, now! Enough games!" She yelled.

They heard laughter, coming from the hall.

She went towards it, ignoring Grim's calls.

She turned down the hallway and froze.

Ghosts! One fat, one skinny and one thin. They laughed.

"We haven't had a guest in so long..." The skinny one said.

"I'm itching for some action!!" The fat one said.

She reached in her bag, pulled out her staff and aimed it at them, making the ghosts freeze.

A glowing ball was forming in the center of the staff.

"Try me. I ain't afraid of a few spirits." She growled.

Grim came down the corner.

"What did you find...GHOOOOOOOOOOOSTS!!" Grim screamed and hid behind Kiba.

The fat one stared at her, then at the staff.

"Where...did you get that?" It asked.

"My staff..? Why do you wanna know?" She asked.

"That staff belonged to the strongest wizard alive. How do you have it?" The skinny one asked.

"I got this from a spirit from my home...and who is this strong wizard?" She asked, placing her staff down.

The ghosts looked at one another, before looking back at them.















"Siana Aurora."
