(FANFARE)

Chapter one: Recount

He stared at the lifeless body at his feet and watched the red liquid flow into the drainage system. "What the heck is with this woman?" he wondered and kicked her lightly in the stomach with his little foot. The magenta haired girl opened her eyes slowly and turned her attention to the girl looking boy standing beside her body. "What do you want, gaki?" she hissed, out of breath.

"Cheh!" the boy snorted, his hands on his hips, "Don't call me a brat. I'm older than you." The girl had taken sudden interest in the sky. The boy smirked at the dying girl. "Oi!" he said smugly, "Are you dying? Does it hurt?" She shifted her gaze to the girly-boy again and stared at him, her face expressionless.

"I-I'm going to die. It hurts. It hurts like hell," she whispered, tears streaming down her face like the blood endlessly flowing out of her right arm. The girly-boy stared at her with his eyes that seemed too big for his face (Nahaha! Googly bear! OOH! (00)). "Mataku," he sighed, "pretty girls look ugly when they cry." He dipped his right hand into his pocket and fished out an amulet. He dangled the amulet in the air, smiling broadly. "You want to live, don't you?" (Don't you wish your girlfriend was hot like me- Anna: Quiet!) he inquired and waved the amulet a little, "then I'll give this to you." He placed the amulet in her tiny hand. She gripped the amulet as hard as she could, her eyes still filled with tears. "Nawa?" she asked, weakly.

"Asakura!" he replied, grinning, "Asakura Hao! Remember it! I'm going to rule the world one day." The boy gave her one last smile before turning to walk away. She returned his smile, but he didn't receive it. "Arigato, Asakura," she muttered.

---------------------------------------------------------------

"Kyaa! Kawaii!" The girl smiled at the compliments she was given. The Blonde

wearing a short black dress patted her on the head. "Yoh found her," she stated and continued to pat the girl.

"Oi, Anna," the cerulean haired one said, turning to the blonde girl, "Don't treat her like a pet. It's disrespectful!" Anna raised one eyebrow and stopped patting the girl. "Whatever, Pirika," she huffed and crossed her arms across her chest.

"Ano, little girl," the pink haired one finally spoke, "what's your name?"

"Maki!" the girl replied cheerfully, "Himiwari Maki!"

"She's adorable," Maki heard a soft whisper. Everyone turned their attention away from Maki and to the silver-haired girl wearing a fluffy white dress. "She's adorable. Maki is adorable," the silver-haired girl continued, her face remained expressionless.

"Oi, Jeanne," Pirika said, dragging her words a little, "Don't say that with such a stern face. People may think you're being sarcastic." The silver-haired girl muttered an apology before remaining silent. "Ah! Yes!" Pirika exclaimed and knocked her fist onto her other palm, "We didn't introduce ourselves." The magenta-haired one mimicked Pirika's actions. "Ole mo, Pirika!" Pirika said and pointed at herself, "This is Tamao, Jeanne and Anna." Pirika pointed to the pink-haired one, the silver-haired one and the blonde in the black dress, respectively. Maki placed her index finger on her bottom lip and tried hard to feed the information to herself.

"Hai! Wagata!" Maki announced and shot her hand up, "Tamao one-san is the cute one." Tamao blushed at the compliment. "Arigato, Maki!" Tamao said, hiding her reddened face, "Yasashi-na."

Maki grinned at Tamao and continued, "Jeanne onee-san is the pretty one." Jeanne looked at Maki, expressionless. "Anna onee-san is the beautiful one," Maki turned to Anna. She used the word 'beautiful' in place for 'sexy' because she didn't know what sexy meant.

"Don't flatter me, kid!" Anna snapped. Instead of wincing, Maki continued to grin at Anna. Anna sighed in resignation.

"Oi! Maki!" Pirika said, a hint of excitement bubbled in the voice, as Maki turned her attention to Pirika, "What about me?" Maki smiled at Pirika. "Pirika onee-san is the weird one!" Pirika's happiness withered away when Maki said the last three words. "I'm weird?" Pirika asked herself, her fists clenched. Pirika's face darkened as Maki's words kept echoing in her mind.

"Oi," Tamao said trying to sound as concerned as she could, "Pirika? Daijobu?" Pirika spun around on one heel before proceeding to the corner to cry. "Oi!" a boy with the same azure hair colour as Pirika swung the door open and turned to the crying girl squatting in the corner of the room, "Pirika! Are you crying? Who did this?" Everyone's index finger jutted out and slanted towards Maki who stared innocently at the 'blue boy'.

"Bakana!" the blue boy exclaimed and pointed at Maki, "This girl is-" The boy stopped as soon as he was stabbed by Anna's icy cold stare. "Ano," Tamao began, her hands held behind her back, "Horo Horo-kun, what did you come in for?"

"Ah! Soka!" Horo Horo exclaimed, hitting his fist on his other palm, "Tamao-chan! I'm hungry!" Tamao wanted to give him a 'What-am-I!-A-maid!' face but that would ruin her image, she composed herself and smiled back at Horo Horo.

She was TAMAO! The never angry TAMAO! The ever-sweet TAMAO! (Haha! I like doing this. Imagine lowering your voice when ever you say TAMAO! Ahahahaha! TAMAO! TAMAO! LD: Will you PLEASE stop that. It's embarrassing and I doubt anyone would understand! Far-away laughter) But this Ainu boy seemed to have a knack for pissing her off. "You didn't come here to comfort me?" Pirika asked her onee-chan, tugging his long sleeve. Horo Horo laughed loudly, revealing his teeth and a bit of seaweed from the sushi he ate that morning. "Of course not, Pirika!" Horo Horo chuckled.

"Onee-chan is a baka!" Pirika cried, whipping her hand across Horo Horo's face. Pirika hobbled back to her corner to sulk. "Make yourself something to eat," Anna snapped, "Can't you see Tamao's irritated?" Tamao smiled increased in width until it looked creepy, attempting to conceal her anger. Anna could read through anyone especially Tamao, having trained with her for years. Horo Horo on the other hand was a complete idiot in reading feelings. Horo Horo raised one eyebrow and examined Tamao for a few seconds before turning back to Anna. "She is NOT!" Horo Horo retorted. Anna's cold stare slowly morphed into a glare which made Horo Horo's sweat glands go crazy. "Erm…Ah.." Horo Horo bit his lower lip thinking of a retort.

"Ano-ne," Maki began, "I can cook for you Horo Horo aniki." Horo Horo squealed in delight and clasped Maki's fist with his hands. "Arigato! Arigato! Horo Horo shall be hungry no more!" Horo Horo continued to squeal before pausing, "What's your name?"

"Maki!" Maki answered, her trade mark grin still sealed on her face, "Tamao onee-san! Ikimasho!" Tamao stared at Maki's grinning face in confusion. Maki spun around and ran out after Horo Horo who was chanting, "Food! Food!"

"Oi! Maki!" Tamao called after her, "Joto!"

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"Huh?" the long-haired brunette slouched on the sofa, "What did you say?"

"Muoo!" another brunette sighed, "I found this girl on the street. I think she's fifteen. But she behaves like a five year old. I decided to take her in and Anna didn't mind at all."

--Anna winced.--

"Are you saying that Anna is being soft?" the long-haired one asked and raised one eyebrow.

"Bingo! Ten points for Hao!" the short-haired brunette shouted and both of his arms shot up, "Demo…" His voice softened and the happiness faded. He lowered his arms until they were at his sides. "Dosiyo?" the short-haired one whispered, beseeching. Hao raised his eyebrow even more (If that was possible… Maki: Hao onee-chan's eyebrow is like an observation tower in six flags. Hao: What kind of analogy is that!). "Nani? You like her being fierce?"

"I-iee," the short haired one responded, turning away. Hao could have sworn he saw a faint blush on his twin brother's, Yoh's, cheek. Hao sighed. What's her name?" Hao inquired turning Yoh's attention back to himself.

"Maki!" Yoh replied, imitating Maki, "Himiwari Maki!" Hao chuckled. "That's so cute," Hao commented, his voice dripping with sarcasm.

"De sho?" Yoh asked smiling, totally oblivious to Hao's sarcastic remark, "she's really adorable." Hao sighed in defeat. He wished Yoh wouldn't be so dense sometimes. Hao licked his dry lips. "I really do want to meet this Maki girl."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

And this ends chapter one.

Maki: Hoped you enjoyed it!

Hao: See you in chapter 2!

Wanna give a spoiler?

LD: There's no need for spoilers!

Jeanne: Yea…

OK then no spoilers. If you guys are still wondering what Maki looks like… well I'll tell you!

Maki is supposed to be a brunette but because there's a twist in the later part of the story, I made her hair pink like Tamao's.

Maki flicks hair

Maki is modeled after Kanmuri from Yakitate Japan! Kanmuri is a guy who looks like a girl. Basically, Maki is a Kanmuri except that her eyes are pinky orangey and her hair is slightly longer. And she wears a white hair band. That's about it!

Yoh: See you in chappie 2! Funga-fu-fu Funga-fu-fu Funga-fu-fu

Horo Horo: Shouldn't have given him the orange.
