A/N – Well, I had this on livejournal, but decided to put it here after re-watching the anime. So this is the first fic I ever put on this site. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: If I owned Kaze no Stigma, there would be a season 2. Thus, I do not own Kaze no Stigma.

"Well, I guess if I'm paid well enough – I would be happy to oblige."
The disarming grin charms the blond lady before Kazuma and he knows his wallet for the next two months would be filled with all the Yen he needs.
"That would be lovely, so I will see you tonight then?" She gushes.
Kazuma flashes a complimentary smile and nods.
"I will meet you at –"
Her words drown with a sudden shrill, and feminine-sounding, shout of Kazuma's name. Kazuma winces. He turns around to see a heated Kannagi Ayano, looking ready to crush the life out of him as his name is haltingly repeated with pure venom infused. Ren, his little brother, stood beside her with a sheepish smile.
"Who is that?"
Kazuma turns around to the disgruntled lady beside him. "Someone who is probably tempted to have me burned alive."
She looks at him with a disturbed look. Kazuma smiles at her before turning his attention to Ayano and Ren again.
"What. Are. You. Doing." The tone laced within the words that left Ayano seem to promise just the very words Kazuma mentioned seconds before. "I am going to burn you into the most unrecognizable state that even Ren won't be able to identify you." Ayano says as she starts running towards Kazuma who had been taking a few steps back in retreat.
"Woah, Ayano –"
"Warrrrgh!"
Kazuma turns around and bails as Ayano chases him. As he runs, he laughs at the curses and threats that are leaving her lips at a rapid pace.
"What is she to him? Why is she so upset that I'm only asking if he could banish the Hitodama that's been creeping about my garden for nights?" The befuddled lady voices aloud as she stares at the sight before her – Ayano chasing Kazuma, almost in circles, as the former threatens and the latter laughs.
Ren smiles apologetically before replying, "I'm sorry if you had a scare with Ayano's sudden commotion. She's just – well, very protective over Kazuma."
"It's as if they are in their own little world." The lady comments.
Ren looks around him and notices onlookers on the street openly stare at the sight of a crimson-haired girl chasing a highly- amused young man. He smiles and nods in agreement.
