Well… I thought it was time to try a romance story, but I'm not to good at full-blown romance! So it's more action with a mushy-ending, which is odd for an Anji and Baiken romance. (Personally I think it could work) and this is not a skit! So read carefully and enjoy! \(^_^)/ BANZAI!
Anji woke up that morning and went out to his row of one-story apartments. It was midmorning and went on his daily walk. He scowled inside at his fellow pureblood men and women who liked being enclosed. 'Content rabbits' He thought, 'Only too happy to stay in this cage, but I am still a wild hare! And I will not contently stay!' He stopped for a moment and shook his head. The government had made a group of 'protectors' to keep the surviving families safe. Every time he tried to escape, he was brought back, and yesterday was no different.

He saw in the reflection of his glasses behind him a new protector. He was desperately trying to keep up with Anji's fast pace. 'I could give him the slip in seconds' he thought, but today was different. By a stroke of luck he received a letter asking him to join a Japanese dance company. The sum they had offered was inconsequential. What got him hooked was that it was a 'traveling' dance company! Completely legal to join and travel with, with out pain! 'Speaking of which…' "I can see you, you know that right?" Anji called out behind him. The rookie ran out from his hiding place and said to the ground. "It's my first day," And they gave you me? " They said you could be kidnapped! It may not be safe, please?" The kid was probably 16 and just out of the academy. "It's just a dance company! And if you are so worried, why don't you join?" Anji offered.

The boy's face lit up and then dimmed down again. "I shouldn't " was his reply. 'Damn! I thought I had him!' Anji thought. "Well, I'm joining, you can either leave or join me. I highly doubt you could stop me" "alright… fine!" he whined. "You can go. The boss won't like it, so take this phone. It goes directly to headquarters. Call if anything goes wrong. Please don't tell my boss." Anji smiled and politely waved the kid off. 'Now to business'

A block or two was the Company's studio. It was shabby and a little rundown. It almost blended completely with the surrounding buildings. 'Dozens of people must past this everyday and not notice.' He looked at what street he was on again. It was the same street he pasted everyday, he was one of those dozens. He shrugged and entered the building. Inside was a standard dance studio. Polished, smooth wooden floors and mirrors on all three sides. There was a door in the back and a receptionist desk in the front. Sitting behind it was a woman next to a plastic fern. In Anji's opinion, the plant looked more real than she did. "Do you have an invitation?" she said with a big smile. Anji fished it out of his pocket and handed to her. " Your Anji-Mito!?!" she exclaimed. "Why don't you go and mingle." She picked up the phone. "They are all present."

Anji left her and went to look and his new family. There were 10 in all, and only 6 he knew. Taketo Meji who was a bragger, and his wife Yuri Meji who was an impossible gossip. Eating like it was a picnic was his best friends, Koji Furiyama and his wife Nori. They were 'wild hares' like he was and had twins, a real rarity, Taku and Otsu who were only 6 years old. "Anji!" Koji called out. "Come here and join us" Anji was only too happy to do so. "How are you guys?" "Just fine," said Nori. "Kids, you remember Mr. Anji- Mito" but the kids were busy with a new toy. "Anyway, what brings you here?" "My feet, ha, ha, but really, a chance to travel. What about you guys?" "A chance to teach the kids about a part of their culture." Said Nori. 'Don't we get enough?' Yuri overheard, walked over, and looked down at us as we sat. "I, for one, am not surprise Anji-Mito is here, but to invite the Furiyamas! Must be charity work." Yuri said. "Knowing them, they probably begged to be here." Added her husband. "We WERE invited!" Koji said standing up. It was no small fact that the Meji's were a very wealthy family before The Destruction, and the surviving members still looked down on certain families and the Furiyamas were no different. "Now both of you knock it off!" said Anji getting between the two men. "Anji, you come from a good family, why do you consort with them!?" said Taketo. "Unlike you guys, we have something in common…" "Of course! Working with me!" came from the door cutting off Anji.
