I remember the first day I saw her. I never seen a girl like her before. Just breathtaking to see. She seemed perfect in every way, but it's too early to say that because I didn't know her yet. But I just wanted to go up to her and just introduce myself. But Munenori beat me and just said my name. I just lightly nodded to her, not knowing what to do. I saw her pick up my sword with ease and swing it around like it weighed an ounce. I was entranced with her movements and just kept feeling myself like her more and more.

As she held a firm grip on the sword and held it frozen next to Munenori, I knew she automatically hated him. But I automatically felt disgusted when I saw Goemon push her into the closet with Munenori. Jealousy was boiling up in me and I couldn't even listen to Sasuke count down the numbers from seven. But when I heard her moan out from the closet, I tightened my fists and clenched my teeth as I imagined him being her first kiss and the one to loose her virginity. I was growing more frustrated as I kept hearing the other female ninjas at the other academy start whispering how he never did that with them or how they wished that they could have been the first to go in the closet with him.

I was about to stand up and leave the room until Sasuke opened the door and stared at the two. Munenori walked out of the closet and just said that nothing happened. But I knew something happened. That fucking bastard used her. Her voice was shaky and I noticed that she was trying to hide a dark hickey that he made on her neck.

Munenori walked to the door that led to the hallway and he stopped and looked me straight in the eye. I knew what he was planning. I glared at him coldly and I saw a slight smirk appear on his face. Turning around and hiding his smirk, he called over Yayoi and I was boiling in anger. Walking outside and closing the door, I couldn't help but strain my hearing to what they were doing. I then heard both their footsteps go down the hall.

But my thoughts were interrupted as Sasuke called me. Looking forward, I saw a girl holding the revolver that I put into the box. She looked at me seductively and I thought I was about to throw up. My stomach was churning too much from seeing Munenori do that to Yayoi. I stood up and walked up to the girl and slowly retrieved my gun from her. She stared at me as I put it back in my holster and walking out of the room.

"Kotaro?" I ignored Sasuke as he called out to me.

"Hey Kotaro?" Musashi grabbed my shoulder and turned me around to face him. "The hell was that back there?" I glared at him and the three other roommates.

"Do you know what Munenori is doing to her right now?" They all looked at me confused.

"Nothing happened between them in that closet." Sasuke, as naïve as ever, says that.

"You might say that, but he used her." I was getting more impatient by the minute as they kept talking about Munenori.

"He wouldn't use her." Sasuke says.

"I would." Goemon looked at me with a smirk on his face and I snapped at him.

"Don't you fucking lay a finger on her!" I wanted to punch him so badly but Musashi held me back.

"What the hell has gotten into you?!" Musashi pushed me back as I kept glaring at Goemon.

"You like her, don't you?" Saizo finally spoke.

"I need to get some air." I quietly said to them and walked away.

I walked outside onto the garden and inhaled some cool night air. I tried to relax my emotions as I kept remembering Munenori's pathetic smirk. I stared up at the full moon and thought of Yayoi. She reminded my of the moon. With her hair, it was a white with black tips and it suited her nicely. And wearing that white dress with a black edge, it looked amazing on her. I closed my eyes as I remembered her. Then I heard a familiar voice behind me.

"You like her, don't you?" Turning around, Spirit stood there with his hands tucked into his pocket.

"Does it matter?" I said to him as I looked back up at the moon.

"Yes it does." He walked up next to me and looked up at the moon with me.

"I know you're her fifth element, but you shouldn't always be her bodyguard." I looked up at the tall, transparent spirit as the moonlight shined right through him.

"But we have been together since birth. I worry about her. Also because her father told me that I should protect her myself. No matter what." I smirked as he said this.

"Sounds to me that you like her more than me." I looked at him from the corner of my eye and saw his start to blush.

"NO. Heck no!" He got all flustered and started talking a little fast. "No. We're just friends. We've always been friends. You can like her if you want. But no, I don't like her. She's like a sister to me."

"It's fine Spirit." I said to him and started walking back inside to the banquet.

I didn't enjoy the rest of the night. I just stood around and talked to a few people and was in a few conversations. But I was mostly out of it because of Yayoi and Munenori. I knew that he would go rough on her. I knew that he took away her virginity. I knew that bastard was sleeping in her bed right now. But I also knew that I didn't have the guts to stop him. I'm the one that feels pathetic.

Before I knew it, it was already midnight. Not wanting to stay there any longer, I walked outside again and climbed onto the first tree I saw. It was a large oak tree, so I just sat on one of its large branches and stared up at the moon. I heard some flapping in the distance, than looking around, I saw Hyosuke flying towards me. Extending my hand out for him, he got ahold of my finger with his foot and landed on it with grace. Gently setting my hand in my lap, I gently started stroking his head with my other hand as he looked up at me like he knew something was wrong.

"I wish I stopped her." I quietly whispered. "But I didn't have the guts to stop her. I knew Munenori would get more excited if I tried to stop him. But I didn't want her to have rough sex her first time." I felt myself starting to close my eyes and lean against the tree trunk.

After a while, I opened my eyes and saw that the moon has disappears from the sky and I could see the morning colors coming from west. And from the looks of it, it would be about 4:50am. So jumping down from the branch, I walked back into the building and down the hallway towards my room. But as I was making my way around a corner, I bumped into someone and we both fell on the ground.

"Damn." I rubbed my lower back and cussed.

"Oh! Sorry Kotaro!" As soon as I heard Yoyois voice, my heart started beating faster. She held out her hand for me and I looked up at her before grabbing hold of it, trying not to make it obvious that she's making me nervous. "Are you okay?" She asked me.

"I'm fine." I said to her, brushing myself off.

"Oh, okay." She quietly said as she looked to the ground. I started to walk away so I didn't start to show her how flustered I was just being around her. But I was held back as I was grabbed by my kimono. Looking back, I saw Yayoi with pleading eyes. "Why don't you like me?" She asked me.

"How can she think the I don't like her?!"

"It's not that I don't like you, it's just," I stopped saying what I was gonna say and looked away from her.

"It's just what?" She repeated. Then I don't know why I did that, but I leaned down and softly kissed her on the lips. The lips that kissed Munenori. But I couldn't help myself. It's like I needed her more than anyone else.

"It's just the you shouldn't take it personal." I whispered to her before standing up and leaving her standing there surprised with the kiss. I walked around the corner and leaned against the wall, listening to her movements. As I heard her walk away, I punched the cement wall and shouted.

"DAMN IT!"
