Prologue : The samurai lived in a house! Studied in a school! Could you imagine the chaos? A modern life of 17th century humans! Everyday was a tiring day!

Chapter 1 : MORNING ACTIVITIES

It was still an early morning that none of the samurai had waken up. Yeah, none of the samurais. It didn't play on two girls, Yuya and Sakuya. They were just ordinary girls who hadn't any power to battle. They were really opposite each other, one was diligent and one was very lazy. The dilligent one, belongs to Yuya, had wakened up and now was preparing for the breakfast. She was still sleepy, but the consequence of living with such selfish strong humans was she must serve them well, or they will give some nice kicks to her. Okay, none of them dare to do that, beside she was really a nice and always-needs-protection girl, she was great in torturing anyone who dare to tease her. And she almost always gives the best for her friends and her friends loved her too, so there wasn't any problem.

How about Sakuya? She was a very lazy girl, she never wakes up early. So everyone decided that her shift was in the afternoon, made glasses of tea for her tired friends, and Yuya could not protest that unfair decision, because Sakuya was really sweet and kind and a master of tea-maker, who was loved by everybody. Beside, there wasn't any advantage if they gave her morning task, it just made them had no eat in the morning because she did still sleep while they were in hurry to go as quick as they could do. But no one was cruel enough to kick the sweet-hearted woman.

Now the breakfast had prepared nicely, and this was the time to get the lazy samurais (and a lazy ordinary girl named Sakuya) up from their beds. Yuya took a deep breath and started to walk to every door of three bedrooms in that house. This is a peevish activity which Yuya must struggle hard to wake them up.

First door, thought Yuya. This is her door so she had opened the lock when she went out of the room to prepare the meal. She went in and found the daily view, the-sleeping-Sakuya-and-Akari.

"Sakuya-san… Akari-san… WAKE UP!!" yelled her loudly. Sakuya did not give any response and Akari raved a bit but inaudible for Yuya ("Kyo, don't embrace me like that!"). Yuya had thought it's not normal that she could wake Akari up that easy (Yuya thought that was the sign that Akari will get up soon), but the only Akari did was turning her (or his?) back up and taking a pillow to close her ears, out of her conscious and spoke again ("Kyo, do you think this dress is beautiful enough for our wedding party?"). Yuya got a high tense and pulled the pillow, then yelled very loud that the neighbors must be could hear her, "AKARI!! JUST WAKE UP FROM YOUR SILLY DREAM ABOUT KYO OR I WILL COST YOU ALL YOUR MONEY!!" (don't forget that she was a bounty-hunter)

Akari couldn't help but woke up half-hearted, looked intently on Yuya and said, "Kyo, your face turn younger and so much like a girl. Your hairs grow longer very quickly and suddenly change to honey blond, how come? That's not bad but decrease your, umm, manliness. But Akari will always love Kyo, of course." Akari blinked her eyes for several times than spoke again, "More I see, Kyo looked like Yuya-san. How that comes?"

"It comes from your stupidity," Yuya had a bit unimpressed that Akari recognized her as Kyo. Which side on the earth was their similarity? She turned her face to Sakuya and hoped that her recent yell woke her up, but there was no doubt that it needs extra-power to yell at her and wake her up. She didn't give any sign of consciousness. Yuya shook her head sadly and ready to try the old-way: with water. She walked into the bathroom and came back to her room with a pail full of water, which Akari had not conscious enough to stop that cruel.

"I'm sorry, Sakuya-san."

BYURR!!!

Before Yuya poured the water to Sakuya's face, Sakuya had wakened up in sudden. She stretched her body, turned her hands to fists and punched the air to make her body feel more comfort. Or at least, she meant to relax her arms by punching the air, but in fact what she did punch was Yuya's pail, and the water Yuya meant to use for waking Sakuya up successfully poured to face of herself.

"KYAAAAAAAAAA!!!" Yuya screamed as she slipped and fell down.

"YUYA-SAN!!!"

The next second all of house members, Kyo; Kyoshiro; Benitora; Akira; Hotaru; Bontenmaru; and Yukimura, had got up and ran to the source of noise. Benitora and Kyoshiro were the first who reached the girls room.

"What in the world is happening here, Yuya-han?" asked Tora anxiously.

"Are you alright, Sakuya-chan?" asked Kyoshiro.

"I'm okay, but Yuya-san…" Sakuya answered as she looked at Yuya, wet on the floor and seemed like unable to stand up again anymore.

"Are you being injured, Yuya-san? Can I do something for you?" Kyoshiro asked while he was helping Yuya to stand upright. The entire house member was looking at her, worried about her.

"Ah, nothing, thank you. It is very good that I could wake you all up in such seconds," answered Yuya. "Now we can eat the breakfast, right? We almost late for school, and it's not funny at all if we are late together, and you must be late for your work too if you still vacant there, Bon-san."

In the dining room, Kyo started to grumble.

"Just a little accident, screamed like hell and woke us all up! I will be very confused if there is any person in a kilometer distance has not wakened up yet now."

"Keep calm, Kyo, at least Yuya-san stays in her shape and doesn't have any fatal injury," Kyoshiro calmed him down.

"I'll be gladder if she got some injury, at least I could understand why she screamed so loud like that," mocked Kyo, made Yuya very embarrassed.

"Don't say like that, Kyo, I think that was a very nice scream," said Yukimura, a smirk appeared on his face. "Thunderous and powerful."

"Please stop teasing me and just eat your breakfast calmly, could you do it Yukimura-san?" asked Yuya, her face got redden.

"For your pleasure, I'll do anything, Miss." Yukimura answered politely, smirk once again appeared on his cute face. Yuya's face became red and more again.

"Ah, today we will start 'how-to-be-a-real-fighter' lesson as the course we take for this year, won't we?" Akari felt such an uneasy condition and wanna turn it back to normal by changing the subject of their morning discussion.

"Yes, but I'm afraid of it. I've never held sword in whole of my life," said Sakuya.

"Then I will train you how to do it, Sakuya-chan," Kyoshiro offered his help.

"Thank you so much, that will be great," smiled Sakuya. "I hope I can learn it quickly. I'm afraid of the teacher, that causes it."

"Hoo, you have known who's our new teacher for this year, Sakuya-han, haven't you?" asked Tora. "Who's him?"

"Last night I was very afraid of this new lesson so I could not sleep well (could not sleep well? See how hard Yuya must try to wake her up!). I saw at the stars above and it didn't calm me down even a little. I saw his face on the dark blue sky and what the stars done was only increasing my fear," told Sakuya.

"Waw, it seems like the new teacher will be so frightening. Who's him, Sakuya-san, could you tell us?" Akari pleaded. "I hope he is Mr. Muramasa. He is very kind, you know, but if it was him you won't be that afraid, so who's him?"

"He is…"

"I hope Mr. Yunyun will teach us…" Hotaru interrupted a while.

"Mr. Yunyun?" Bontenmaru frowned. "Is there any kind of panda who teaches you?"

"Not a panda, he is a human and strong. His true name is Yu An, he is half-clumsy and weird, but I think he is good at teaching…" Hotaru said.

"Your sense of it is still questionable, Hotaru. Good for you doesn't always mean good for us," Bontenmaru smirked.

"You challenged me?"

"Who on earth was scared of you?"

"Stop it all, you foolish! Let Sakuya-san finishes her sentence!" Akari ordered, at that moment she looked as the scariest Shiseiten. "Whoever is no problem for me except that one…"

"Mr. Hishigi?" asked Sakuya.

"How do you know?" Akari frowned. "Have I told you about that before? I don't remember…"

"He is."

"What?"

"It is Mr. Hishigi who will teach us."

Akari seemed like the sky broke down against her head.

"How that comes?" asked Akari unbelief. "That is the last thing I want it happens on earth…"

"Don't ask me," answered Sakuya. "I'm afraid of him, too."

"What's the problem if he is the new teacher, Akari-san? We haven't got him as our teacher before. I don't know if he is cruel or something…" Akira confused.

"But I know. Well, he isn't cruel but he is a half rather mad scientist and I don't know how comes he could be our new teacher for 'how-to-be-a-real-fighter' lesson…"

"You know him that well? How it could be?" asked Yuya.

"I have ever been his assistant while he was still a young and amateur scientist. He is smart, oh no, he is genius and perhaps it is the one that made him going rather mad…" Akari took a deep breath. "…his brain isn't normal, I think because he always stays in his laboratory, there was a nervous or two that broken off."

"That bad?" Akira was amazed. "If that happened he couldn't be a teacher!"

"He could, of course, he is strong and that small problem wouldn't bother him…"

"So, what are you afraid of?" asked Tora.

"He is… he is the only teacher who understands me…"

"What do you mean?" asked Hotaru.

"He is the one and only teacher that know exactly who I am… that I am not a really…" Akari's face became redden. And all of them understood what she kept telling about. Or perhaps, what she wanted them to know but not continue to discuss it. They burst into laughter except the object of that laughter of course. In one attack she broke the room and all inside there.

"Do you know, Akari?" Hotaru asked her while he was trying to breathe normally. "I think you will get the highest score in the lesson this morning, don't care whoever teaches…"
