Niko shrugged. "Human form doesn't seem to have as much sneezing affects as my cat form, I guess. I think you can get allergy medication or something..." When he told her to not get into trouble, she gave a meddlesome smirk, leaning towards him, "When have I EVER gotten into trouble?" she asked sweetly. She leaned back and giggled as she watched him leave. Things would be pretty boring without him to watch mess things up.<br/><br/>--------------<br/><br/>Her bag over her shoulder, Niko walked to Koi's place, taking the scenic route which was more cityscape and alleyways than scenic stuff. There weren't many people on the sidewalks in the street she was on, but that didn't really concern her. All she wanted to do was get some chow and see how Koi was doing. She didn't even notice the person behind her until he hip checked her into an alley.<br/><br/>"Wha?!"<br/><br/>"You shouldn't taunt people, Niko. You could get hurt."<br/><br/>"No! Get off of me!"<br/><br/>"Shut up, you little whore!"<br/><br/>Everything seemed to disappear as Niko ran from the alleyway, tears flooding her cheeks and bruises covering her arms.<br/><br/>-------------------------<br/><br/>The doorbell rang. Koi's mom answered it. "Hi! Is Koi home?" Niko said with a cheery smile on her face. "I'm his lab partner; we were supposed to do our project after school today." His mom smiled and nodded, letting her in.
