The trees rustled as the wind blew. Strands of her golden-orange hair flew in her face but she didn't care. She continued running for all she was worth… until she saw a glimmer of hope to escape her pursuers.

Shelter! She looked up at a medium-sized house.

She climbed in through an open window and entered what looked like a living room.

Without warning, the lights in a nearby kitchen flickered on and she heard a stifled yawn. She ducked behind a couch and lifted her head enough to see a blonde haired boy with a white beanie walk out of the kitchen with a tin of biscuits in one hand and a glass of milk in the other. He started heading towards the living room.

Darn it! The girl whispered to herself. If he gets any closer, he'll see me!

The young girl scrunched herself up in a tight ball, hoping the blonde boy wouldn't see her. Oh my goodness… He's so gorgeous…She shook her head to clear her thoughts. What are you thinking? If this boy spots you, he'll probably call the cops on you!

Suddenly, the blonde boy disappeared and she felt a rush of wind. She uncurled herself and held her breath. Where did he go?

'So how long are you planning on staying there?'

The girl spun around and came face to face with the blonde boy. 'H-how did you get behind me?' She stuttered. She looked at his feet and found her answer. On the boys' feet was a pair of…Air Treks.

'Well?' The boy questioned again.

'It-it's none of your business!' The girl yelled back. Oh, gosh! Why do I keep stuttering in front of him?

'Uh yeah, it is my business,' He snapped. 'This is my house.'

'Fine!' She grumbled. 'I'll tell you.' She sat down on the couch and explained her story. 'I'm being chased by a group of Storm Riders called Satsu Gaki. I saw your house while I was running away from them and I was really tired so I climbed in through your window, looking for shelter.'

'Why?' The boy asked, the look of anger on his face replaced by concern. He sat down on next to her on the couch, which made the young fourteen-year-old girl feel uncomfortable.

Why do I feel so strange every time I'm with him? 'Is anything wrong?' The blonde asked. 'Your face is all red.'

The girl looked away. 'I-I'm fine! And if you're wondering why they're chasing me, I don't know either!'

'Okay, okay. You don't have to get so pissed!' The boy said. 'And lower your voice, my sister's still sleeping. By the way, what's your name?'

'Ikeda Hirome,' the girl stuck out her hand. 'What about you?'

'Kazuma Mikura,' the boy said as he shook Ikeda's hand.

'Anyway, you have to tell me how you got behind me just now,' Ikeda asked, her body leaning closer to Kazuma's.

'Hmph,' Kazuma smirked. 'Well Ikeda, you are looking at the fastest rider of Kogarasumaru! I can travel so fast that I disappear completely! Earning me the nickname 'Stealth'!'

'No way… You're part of Kogarasumaru?! They're one of my favourite Storm Riders! I can't believe I'm meeting 'Stealth' in person!' She squealed.

'So you ride AT s too?'

'Yup, but I'm not very good at it.' She blushed and smiled.

Kazuma gasped. She looked so beautiful when she smiled. Her sea green eyes bore right into his blue ones and they stared at each other for a few minutes until Ikeda felt heat creeping to her cheeks and yelled, 'Uh…um! I'm sorry! Do you mind if I use your bathroom? My clothes are really dirty and it was freezing outside!'

Kazuma snapped out of his trance as well and blushed. 'Uh…I don't mind at all. You have to use the one in my room though. Like I told you before, my sister is still sleeping.'
