Camille's POV:

The first time I saw him dancing was like magic. It sounds cliché, I know-but he was that good. He danced as if he had wings, as if any second, he'd take flight. I couldn't tear my eyes away from his form. Washington Square Park was crowded, as usual, with dancers and skateboarders and people in general. He was battling another boy, and clearly winning. His gaze caught mine as he paused to catch his breath, and he stared for what felt like an eternity.

"Hey, earth to Camille." Moose's voice brought me out of my reverie. The dancer narrowed his eyes at Moose, and then resumed his battle.

"Do you know him, Moose?" I inquired, nodding my head towards the boy dressed in black.

"Yeah, I do. That's Kid Darkness. He's the first member of the House of Samurai that I battled." Moose answered.

"That's him?" I said, surprised. Moose nodded, and I shifted my gaze back to Kid Darkness just in time to see him win the battle. Moose spotted Luke and some other members of the House of Pirates, and ran off to join them. I continued to watch Kid Darkness, who eventually noticed my gaze. He jerked his head to the right, and I wandered over in that direction. The place he had gestured to was a secluded area, which must have been hard to find in Washington Square Park. After a few minutes, Kid Darkness appeared behind me, startling me.

"Do you always make a point of startling people?" I asked.

"Just the interesting ones." Kid Darkness replied, and did something I didn't expect-he smiled. I looked at him in shock, and then smiled back.

"Kid Darkness isn't your real name, is it?" I inquired. He looked startled, and then shook his head.

"You think my parents would actually name me Kid Darkness?" He answered, and then laughed.

"Well…no." I hesitantly replied.

"What's your name?" Kid Darkness asked.

"Camille. But you can call me Cam." I said.

"Well, ma'am, my real name is Raf." Kid Darkness-I mean, Raf-replied.

"Hm. Why Kid Darkness then?" I inquired.

"Julian didn't think that Raf was a good name for a Samurai." Raf murmured, looking slightly bothered. I rolled my eyes slightly, thinking, for the hundredth time, that Julian was a tool.

"You don't sound so happy about that." I said.

"That's how it is. At least for now. Actually…how did you know my name?" Raf asked, a note of curiosity in his voice.

"My…friend is a member of the House of Pirates." I stammered.

"Moose?" Raf inquired softly. I nodded my head, and then glanced behind me.
