After watching Fuma no Kojiro I fell in love (literally) with Kirikaze! Not the anime one. The live action one, the one that is played by Yuta Furukawa. I also love Kou and Shoryu (Kou is played by Naoya Sakamoto and Shoryu is played by Kazuya Sakamoto) who are also in the duo ON/OFF, but I love Kirikaze... no, Yuta more. I'm going to add a couple of more characters and add some new Yasha and Fuma into the picture. Let's just call it my version of Fuma no Kojiro. This is after they beat the Yasha and go back to the Fuma village. It's my first Fuma no Kojiro fanfiction, so bare with me.

I ran as fast as my feet could take me! I wanted to see the nine Fuma that have been gone for so long. I especially wanted to see one particular Fuma again. Kirikaze, the one Fuma that I hold dear to my heart. We grew up together in the Fuma village, but as our friendship became stronger, so did my affection for him! It was wrong in many ways than one. I was breaking a ninja law! But at this point I really didn't care. I just wanted to see him again. I ran past a clearing into the village noticing five of the Fuma that had left.

"Welcome back!" I greeted the five Fuma guys. The Fuma that I had seen leave were Kojiro, Ryouma, Ryuho, Kou, Shoryu, Reira, Kirikaze, Kabutomaru and Rinpyo. However, now I only saw five of those nine guys standing in front of me! The ones that I saw now were Kojiro, Ryouma, Ryuho, Shoryu, and Kirikaze. "What happened to the other four guys that went with you?" I questioned. As soon as I asked that, the five guys' faces went sad.

"They died." Kojiro answered tightly. My jaw fell open. I couldn't believe it! Things would sure be different around the village without them. Kou always brought out the bad side of Shoryu, but I've heard that Shoryu doesn't hate his twin brother anymore. Shoryu is also going to have a hard time adjusting to a life without his older brother. Reira was the nicest out of all of the Fuma guys that left. I'm going to have a hard time getting over his death! Kabutomaru was really funny, I will miss his ability to make people laugh. Rinpyo, I didn't know him much. But, he's still a Fuma like me.

"Close your mouth before it gets dry." Kojiro advised me. I had forgotten that I had my jaw open! I was still in shock about the deaths. I didn't have the strength to close my mouth! The pain of the loss of my four comrades was overpowering! Kirikaze noticed my feelings of the deaths. He reached under my chin and closed my jaw for me.

"Thank you, Kirikaze." He nodded.

"Come on, don't be so down. All of us will have to learn to go through life without them." Ryouma said.

"Ryouma! Have a heart! Kou and Reira were good friends with her. Kabutomaru was always entertaining her. Their deaths have left a cut in her heart that can never fully heal." Shoryu pointed out. Kojiro nodded at his friend's speech. I was looking down, but I saw Kirikaze walking away from the group from the corner of my eye.

"Kirikaze, can I come with you?"

Kirikaze nodded. "Sure."

We walked a little while with a nice and comforting silence. "Are you okay with the deaths?" Kirikaze asked me at one point.

"What do you think?" I questioned. Kirikaze didn't answer that. He knew what I was feeling. It was the same feeling that the others were feeling. Misery. But, they had to get over it to fight the Yasha. They didn't fully recover from that shock and misery. But, they were in better condition than I was in. "Especially because Reira was close friends with me." I said.

"Yeah, he's become more of a close friend to you compared to the rest of us Fuma warriors."

"Not true! He can't beat you at being my close friend." I pointed out.

"I don't know. You two seemed close."

"Well, it doesn't really matter now since he's dead." I reminded. "I'm going to miss him and Kou. The others too."

"It's going to take a while to get over their deaths."

"Yeah."

The rest of the walk was quiet. Honestly, sometimes it's like Kirikaze could read my mind. I didn't want to talk right now. I just wanted to mourn about the dead Fuma warriors. It pays to have a friend as close as Kirikaze. None of the other Fuma can read me as well as him. But, my feelings for him were way beyond a friend. Even if it was forbidden for a ninja to love someone, I couldn't help it.
