Holy man! It's my first ever fanfic right now! It's based on the final episode of the TV series. It's what Kazuma is thinking. Everything that happens now after is after the episode ends. (Hope that makes sense!) PLEASE critic!

*DISCLAIMER* I do not own Kaze no Stigma and have no intention of making a profit off of this. This is purely fan based. It is made for fans BY fans.

I have nothing to say but ENJOY!

Chapter 1 – A New Begining

The water exploded. Yeah, she can do that when she's mad enough. Before the water fell back into the pond she was already glaring at me with Enriha, burning unusually brighter than normal, ready to attack in her hands. She was so pissed; you could see a vein popping out of her head.

"KA-ZU-MA!"

"Whoa, Ayano. That was totally an accident!" I quickly backed off a few feet, my hands up defensively.

"Arrgghhh!" She swung at me fiercely with her sword.

"Can't we just talk about this peacefully?" I said still backing off a bit. I knew what I was saying was pointless. I mean, we're talking about Ayano here. There was no way she would talk, let alone peacefully.

"Argh!" She was charging at me then. Of course I did the smartest thing possible; I ran like hell.

"Oh, boy!" I ran harder as I just missed being obliterated by the Enriha's angry flame.

You can guess what happened. After I told Ayano a bit about my feelings, she told me -well, yelled at me- her feelings. The wind felt the complicated emotions in the air around us and blew Ayano's hair back. I kissed her hair, accepting her as my partner - In combating youma, of course. Then I ever so stupidly slapped her butt. You want some good advice? NEVER, slap an En-jutsu user's butt, especially Ayano. She'll burn you to a crisp, which is what she's attempting to do to me at the moment.

"Grrrr!" She was full blown mad now. She was throwing fire balls all over the place, totally unaware of her surroundings. I sighed internally; I don't think she even realized that people were watching.

"Hey, calm down!" I yelled, still running. She would have burned down her father's dining room just now if the he didn't put up that barrier.

"Quite running from me, you coward!"

"Maybe YOU should quite it!" I wasn't even worried; more like I was entertained by her blunt anger.

"Get back here! Kazuma you're gonna pay for that!" She said as we ran past the dining house again. Everyone was talking about us. Of course. Oh, someone just said they felt bad for me. Well, good.

"Alright!"

"Stop right there!"

"Hey!" Dammit Ayano. She was going psycho. "Slow down!" I was laughing while saying this. I couldn't help it. She was just too funny. Plus, I had to admit, she was cute when she was pissed off.

"Stop! I despise you like that!"

"Ugh! Alright!"

"Hey! I MEAN it! Grrrr! I'm never gonna forgive you! Come back here Kazuma! You're gonna get it this time!"

"Huh!" Oh balls. How did she manage to jump high enough to get over my head like that? I had to save myself fast. How could I distract her? ...Oh, that was easy. I smirked and skidded to a halt, turning to face her as my feet slid. I looked up at her with the cockiest expression and opened my mouth. All I said was "White. Classic." All this happened while Ayano was still in mid air.

"WH-WHAAAAAT?" Perfect. I disgruntled her enough to get out of her hazard zone before a new wave of anger hit her. "KAZUMA! ARRGGGHHHH!" I dodged what would have been any other person's death. She slammed the Enriha were I just was and the biggest flame Ayano had produced, besides her Crimson Flame, had ignited.

The concrete didn't even have time to burst from the sudden heat, as if it were in shock, but it melted like a hot knife in warm butter. The flame shot several feet into the sky like a gigantic golden bonfire. If you think that was all the flame did, man, you're wrong. It produced heat hotter than a heat wave in California, and everything was on the verge of bursting into flames. I was fine of course. I had gathered the wind to circulate around me keep me from turning into fried chicken.

The smoke quickly dispersed as if it too wanted to rid itself from the angry beast hiding inside of it. Ayano's back, hunched over from releasing so much power, was the first thing I saw. The dust hadn't completely cleared but Ayano's hair still managed to gleam as if the sun was brushing her hair with its golden rays... I stopped my self from thinking any further.

I had realized that I was behind her; I smirked. I had just saved my own life. I sneaked up from behind casually as she was hastily looking side to side, trying to find me. I grabbed her from the waist and leaned my head towards her left ear.

"Boo." I whispered.

"Eek! K-Kazuma! W-what?" she was totally befuddled. I chuckled.

"How sad. For the heiress of the Kannagi family to be so easily captured, it's truly such a shame." I mocked her. A lot, actually. I wasn't the only one though, I mean, it was funny how easily this girl got worked up.

"Humph! What do you care about what happens to the Kannagis?" she questioned me with a callous tone, but was there sadness I heard in her voice? Surly not.

"That's true." I laughed.

"WHY YOU-!" I quickly cut her off by kissing her on the cheek and hugging her closer to me. She totally forgot I had her. Don't get me wrong, it's not like I didn't like what I was doing.

"Now, now. Don't get so worked up. Everyone is still waiting for us, remember?" I patted her on the head and continued. "What, where you entranced in your own world with me?" I don't know why, but I sort of wanted to hear her say yes.

"!" I smirked. She was mad again. Oh well. I started walking back to the dining hall, which I made sure that our little scene would remain unseen.

I looked back at her while I was still walking and said "Hurry up or else all the food will be gone." I swear you could hear her stomach rumbling as I said that.

"Fine." She pouted. She didn't make a face of losing an argument though; more like she was giving me permission for something. That girl; who did she think she was?

I laughed to my self as she ran ahead of me, trying to beat me at something. Jeez, what was with her? Why was she so cute today? I watched her run into the dining house with a smirk. I had one last thought before entering the house. You know, I don't think I would mind spending the rest of my time with you, Ayano...

Omigosh! Well I hope you liked it! Please rate!
