Disclaimer: Don't know the Anime, only the new plot and some of the made up characters.

( So I got into writing this story, because I love the anime. Two, I was stunned that there weren't many around. Thirdly, I want to go further in the story then the anime gave the fans with my own twists and turns. Hopefully I get some reviews and I am looking for a Beta. Also whatever you see a N, it means Narrator, but I'm still working getting it into the story more )

N-Once again our story takes us to the infamous otogi bank and their tales of heroism. Now on with the show, as time seems to be moving forward. It had been already a month since ryoshi had saved the love of his life from danger again. Proving that he would always be at her side no matter what happens, after all this is his story now. His chance to finally be the man that she needs instead of the useless bum, but how that would happen is a secret for now. Oh well, oh wait I see ryoshi coming out of his house and heading to school now! Better be quiet now.

I was taking the regular route like any other day, trying to get to school just to see ryoku this morning. It seems that she was trying to avoid me more after the party. I did come out to strong, telling her that I would wait for her and always love her. It was the truth after all, but at least we still work together. I can finally come out to the front line with her and protect her. Yet, I still scare around crowds of people...the very idea gave me chills of all the eyes that look at me.

Shaking my head out of thinking about it, before it was too late. I was already at the school gates, but no sign of ryuko or even ringo. Deciding that they must be already in class, I just went to class like normal. They were there of course, just talking and I just walked up to them.

" Morning, what's going on? "

It was all I could say at the moment, they both turned to me.

" Nothing, ryoshi. Just talking about ryouko's collection of romance novels "

Ryuko blushed at her claim and just turned away angrily

" No we weren't! We just have a new assignment today "

I just enjoy when ryuko blushed, it brought a smile to my face. Yet, we have a new assignment this early in the day? That was strange.

" What is the task? "

" Oh it is helping a student carry around school supplies for some huge school play " ringo had answered first.

Ryuko just shrugged, and I just knew that it couldn't be that hard.

" Alright, I can help with that if you want? "

Ringo looked away for a moment, as a evil smile graced her face.

" Of course you can, I have to go meet with the client. You and ryouko can carry the things, alright? "

" What the hell do you mean, work with this bum "

Ryouko had started to shout off and I only hung my head at her words. Her and Ringo had started to walk off, and that left me alone with..well myself now. So I had decided to do the right thing and went alone to start moving the supplies. When I had gotten there, the door to the tool shed was open and I pondered about it, before heading inside.

I kept my guard up in these surroundings, after all. One can never be too careful, as I looked around. I heard someone's footsteps and equipped my slingshot ready for it. When they were just around the corner, I had jumped out and ready a shot at the prey. A loud shriek was heard throughout the shed, as a girl was frightened by me. Falling to the floor as I lowered my slingshot.

" I'm so sorry, I thought you were someone else "

I said in a rush, in my weak voice as she looked at me with fear still in her eyes. Taking a good look at her, she was very appealing with yellow eyes and her long brown hair was put into buns. She was dressed in the school uniform, but hers was a dark color instead of the usual white. She stood up and wondered about me, we never met.

" Oh, I'm Morino Ryoushi from Otogi bank "

She instantly lightened up and relax at the name.

" Okay, I am sorry if I was scared. I was trying to get the boxes ready to be carried. Where are the other two that are suppose to help? "

" They went looking for you, I came to start moving things "

" Well thank you, come on and help me then. By the way, my name is Naiyo Yuki "

I only nodded at her, and helped with all the boxes. Taking them outside the shed, one by one until they were all outside. I only worked hard as Yuki was helping me as well. She was really nice, not weird at all...of course, he remembered Himaru. She still tried to steal him from Ryouko but he never budged from his stance.

Naiyo had brought out the last box, but it looked really heavy for her. Trying to get it out the door, she had started to wobble around. I had quickly reacted by grabbing the other side of the box and helping her carry it. She smiled at me, and I just looked away blushing. Just placing the box on the ground and waited around for Ringo and Ryouko to get here. I had very little to do to pass the time, so I decided to be friendly to Naiyo

" So, what is this for anyway? "

" It's for a play, I am playing a witch that tries to kill Snow white "

" So these are the costumes and props for the play?

" Yups! "

She only nodded at me and keep moving around with a box in both our arms. I kept my close to my face to block her gaze from view, I was just trying to stay brave. I needed to man up but at least, I haven't tried to hide from view as usual. We were already reaching the Prop room inside the school, and soon the request would be over. I entered first, placing the boxes into the room and then quickly walking out into room.

Just looking around in the halls for anyone, Still no Ryouko or Ringo at all. Was what I going to do, I about to reach my limit with her. Shaking my head from that idea, I will do this because I wil...what dragged me out of my thoughts was a sharp sheik that had sounded close by. I looked behind myself rather quickly, and watched as Naiyo had tripped on something. I sprang into action for a split second, and caught her in my arms.

" Are you okay? " I was speaking in my manly voice as I looked at her.

" Thank you, so much. Youre so cool! "

She blushed at me but did something unexpected by kissing me on the cheek, like I was her hero in knights armor...after a few seconds of staring at her, I heard a growl in the background. Then turned away from her and saw Ryouko and Ringo, eyeing the two of us. I didn't know what to do at this moment in time, so I decided to do what I did best. Act like a Bum.

" Oh, Ryuoko there you are. I was just...umm, helping out the client. That's all "

Turning back to his weakly man voice with sweatdrops running down his face. Ryouko only turned away from me and walked towards Naiyo. Speaking to her about the request being done and then walked away from us, along with ringo who knew that this would be interesting. I had done something wrong today, Ryouko is going to think that I like Naiyo...what am I going to do. While I wasn't looking, Naiyo had walked in front of me with a smile on her face.

" Ryoushi, I thank you for all the help and saving me. I hope you come to the play, I promise that it will be great, so support me! "

I backed up little because of her staring and I only nodded at her.

" I'ii see you around then, well bye "

Taking this chance to escape her gaze right away, she was waving at me until I had left her. Despite this her waving had finally stopped and she smiled darkly at his retreating form.

" So that's the guy that is Hunting Hitsujikai, well it will be fun playing around with such a simple guy. I was only suppose to keep tabs on them, but I've decided to get involved "

N-She had just gotten the perfect chance for her own plans, which were a total mystery, even to me. It seems that this stuff writes itself, I'm kinda scared!. I feel sorry for the poor guy, but it's just too much fun! Oh well, until the next thrilling episode of Okami-san or more like the tales of Ryoushi road to Manhood.
