Lewis' eyes cracked open to see nothing but darkness. But as his vision eventually returned he saw that he seemed to be in a very dimly lit room.
"Whurt? Huh?" Lewis thought aloud, before noticing that his speech was muffled by something that tasted absolutely delicious. As Lewis began to regain cognition, he noticed that someone was stuffing deep fried food into his mouth!
"Good morning! You'd better eat up, or else you'll die of blood loss!" said the cheery voice of Mako Mankanshoku.
'Mako?' Lewis thought dimly. 'Wait a minute, Mako?!'
Lewis sat up suddenly, devouring the deep fried food as he did. "Yay! You're not dead from blood loss!" Mako cheered.
"What happened? Where am I?" Lewis asked.
"You're at my house!" Mako said, spreading her arms wide. "Ryuko and I took you here because we found you face down on the ground!"
"Uh… Thanks." Lewis said before noticing that most of his clothes were missing. "Where's my scarf? Where's my uniform?"
'I am over here.' The scarf said, draped over a coat hanger along with the One Star Uniform.
"Oh thank god." Lewis said aloud before delving into thought again. 'Okay, so I'm in Mako's house after that fight with the Tennis Club Captain and Ryuko's first battle with Satsuki. What the hell is going to happen next?'
'Lewis, are you alright?' the scarf asked.
"I'm just trying to think of something." Lewis said quietly before realising what he needed to remember. "Mako, what day is it today?"
Mako looked at Lewis blankly before her face turned into a mask of complete terror. "Oh no! I forgot to panic again! You'd better get up quickly! Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
Mako pulled the futon out from under Lewis, sending him crashing to the floor. Mako ran back out the door to presumably hurry up Ryuko as Lewis quickly pulled on his uniform as well. As Lewis made to grab his scarf, he saw the two glowing eyes stare at him.
'Who are you anyway?' the scarf asked.
Lewis stopped for a moment before relaxing slightly. "I suppose some introductions are in order. My name is Lewis. Do you have a name?"
'I do not think so. I was never given one by my creator.' He said. 'My creator always hid behind a thick sheet of glass when I was being woven together. After failing to awaken me, I was thrown away like some common rag.'
"Yeesh, that's a tough beginning. But don't worry, you're in good hands now." Lewis said. "So what are you? You're quite similar to a Kamui, although seeing as you're not a full outfit I'm not exactly sure."
'I do not know for what purpose I was created. My only memories are those from behind the glass and fluttering in the breeze.' The scarf sighed.
Another loud crashing was heard from a few rooms away and Lewis turned to the source of the noise.
'What is happening?' the scarf asked.
"Something that's probably going to kill me if I'm not careful." Lewis said as he wrapped the scarf around his neck. "But first things first, you need a name."
'A name?' he asked.
"I can't just call you 'it' or Scarf. It's just too impersonal." Lewis said. "Then again, I can't really think of a good name."
The scarf seemed to think for a while before speaking again. 'If you wish to give me a name, just call me Kamu.'
Lewis smiled and nodded. "Alright then."
Without so much as a warning, Mako and Ryuko burst into the room again and Mako grabbed a hold of Lewis and dragged him with her outside into the flowing sea of Zero Stars. The three of them sat atop Ryuko's guitar case, trying to stay above the sea of Zero Stars.
"Hey, you're that One Star that Mako took with us." Ryuko said, noticing Lewis. "You look really different from all the others."
"Yeah, I guess so." He nodded. "You're the other transfer student right? The one that fought Satsuki?"
"Yeah. What's it to you?" Ryuko asked stonily.
"Hey, hey, I don't mean anything by it." Lewis said defensively. "I'm smart enough to know that fighting you is a terrible idea."
Ryuko narrowed her eyes at Lewis and he felt a very big wave of anxiety come over him.
'I hope I don't get into a fight with her. Even though she's in her pyjamas I don't think I'd be able to win a fight with her. Especially since she's-'
Lewis' thoughts were interrupted by the wave of Zero Stars coming to a halt as the buildings in the slums parting to reveal a giant stage where Ira Gamagoori and several One Stars stood.
"Uh oh." Lewis said quietly.
As Gamagoori began to talk about what No Late Day was and chewing out Ryuko for her lack of a uniform, Lewis saw that Mako's sudden appearance beside Gamagoori as jarring as it was in the anime.
"I swear that girl is some kind of ninja." Lewis muttered.
Gamagoori seemed to notice Lewis' small comment after finishing talking to Mako and pointed at him accusingly. "You there! Why aren't you in the One Star District with the rest of the One Stars?!"
"Uh, I got attacked yesterday and knocked unconscious. Mako took me back to her house to get me back on my feet." Lewis said.
Gamagoori frowned so deeply that Lewis thought that Gamagoori was trying to burn a hole straight through him.
"Very well. However you shall participate in the No Late Day with the rest of these Zero Star Students! Now, let the No Late Day begin!" Gamagoori shouted.
As the sea of Zero Stars charges straight up the stairs to the school, Lewis felt himself get caught up in the wave alongside Ryuko and Mako.
"Come on, let's go!" Ryuko shouted as the stairs turned into a slide. Ryuko jammed her scissor blade into the steep metal ramp and Mako held on tight. Lewis was about to fall, but Kamu wrapped around Mako's leg, keeping Lewis from falling into the heap of Zero Stars at the bottom.
"Nice save Kamu." Lewis breathed.
"What the heck is this?" Ryuko said, looking down at Lewis.
"My scarf is alive!" Lewis said loudly. "He's saved me more than once."
Ryuko looked at the eyes the scarf had and narrowed her eyes. 'That looks a heck of a lot like-' she thought before Mako started slipping. "Hold on, let's keep going!"
As they eventually made it to the checkpoint, Kamu unwrapped himself from Mako's leg and Lewis stood up.
"Alright, I think it's time for us to part ways." Lewis said.
"Huh? Why? Shouldn't we stick together?" Ryuko asked.
"I thank you for taking care of me, but I really can't stick around. You guys aren't the only ones trying to get to school on time." Lewis shrugged.
Ryuko snorted and waved Lewis away. "Right. Well then, good luck to you." She said.
Lewis chuckled a little and nodded. "Thanks. I hope we meet again."
Lewis turned and started to run through the rest of the course as that Head of Trap Development made her move to join Ryuko and Mako. Lewis ran across the course, eventually coming to a giant loop-de-loop.
"Hey Kamu, is it possible we can go faster?" Lewis asked, looking at all the students falling off the giant obstacle.
'Theoretically. Why?' Kamu asked.
Lewis dropped into a sprinting position and got ready to run. "Because we've gotta go fast."
Lewis began sprinting towards the giant loop and Kamu realised what Lewis was trying to do. The ends of Kamu flew backwards and changed to shoulder mounted jet engines and activated, giving Lewis a huge blast of speed. Using the power Kamu gave him, Lewis was struggling to keep himself from falling over at the sheer speed he was going. At the end of the loop, Lewis skidded to a halt and looked back.
"Man, that was crazy. How fast were we going? I swear we went Super Sonic just then. Huh, I think Sonic X might be a good name for that ability." Lewis gasped. "I think I'm gonna need a moment though."
'You really do not exercise much do you?' Kamu asked.
Lewis' eyebrow twitched slightly in annoyance. "Yeah, I guess you're right. But that's not important right now. We've still got a lot of traps we need to get through."
*v*v*v*
*v*v*v*
Advancing up the course was much more difficult than Lewis initially thought it would be, but with Kamu's help he was able to swing across large gaps, fight through dangerous animals and avoid lethal obstacles.
"Hey Kamu, how are you able to manipulate yourself like that?" Lewis asked as Kamu launched Lewis over another long gap.
'It is a bond that I share with you since drinking your blood. I can tell what you want me to do, like it is an instinct I now have.' Kamu explained. 'Although it disheartens me to know that I am doing most of the work here.'
"Yeah, sorry about that. Tell you what I'll do. I'll actually start exercising if you keep being my friend." Lewis panted as he reached the top of another staircase.
'Friend?' Kamu asked.
"Yeah. What else would we be?" Lewis asked.
Kamu hummed in thought before speaking again. 'You make a fair point. Friend.' He said in agreement. 'Where are we now?'
"I think we're in the condo districts now." Lewis muttered. "We'd better keep going if we've only made it this far."
As Lewis kept running, an armoured school bus pulled up at a bus station.
"Hey you! Get on, or you'll get blown up in the minefields!" shouted a One Star from inside the bus.
Lewis was about to move towards the bus, but he remembered something. "No thanks! It's faster for me to run!"
The One Star looked mildly confused then terrified as Kamu lifted Lewis high above the ground as they swung off a streetlight.
'Why didn't you take the bus?' Kamu asked. 'It was an easy ride.'
Lewis stopped at the top of a building and turned around to wait. "Just watch."
As the two waited, they saw Ryuko empty the bus of One Stars with gratuitous amounts of violence before she and her companions entered.
'Oh, you knew it would be hijacked.' Kamu said. 'How, may I ask?'
"Call it a hunch and leave it at that." Lewis said. "Now let's go."
'You are a particularly mysterious person.' Kamu mused.
"Says the inexplicably talking scarf." snorted Lewis. "Now let's go. We don't wanna be late."
*v*v*v*
*v*v*v*
Armed with his knowledge of the course, Lewis and Kamu managed to make their way through the obstacle course with relative ease, even going past the fake school trap. By the time they reached the real Honnouji Academy, Lewis saw that a ton of Two Star students were walking in as well. Most of the One Stars hadn't even arrived yet and there was no way a Zero Star would have made it yet. A few of them eyed Lewis as he walked in with them, glancing around at all the powerful students who seemed to be ignoring him for the most part.
"Jeez, are all these guys Two Stars? Just how many clubs are in this academy?" Lewis muttered.
As Lewis continued onwards, he found that his classroom was entirely empty.
"Lewis?" asked the teacher as Lewis entered the room.
"Yeah, I'm here." Lewis said.
"Very good. Master Sanageyama will be glad to see you." The teacher said as he hurriedly left the room.
"Hang on, what?" Lewis asked as the teacher slammed the door behind him. Looking back around the classroom, Lewis saw that one of the Elite Four had decided to pay him another visit.
"So, you survived No Late Day. I have to say you exceeded my expectations." Sanageyama smirked, feet resting on top of the desk he sat at. "You even defeated the president of the Paintball Club. Not bad for a One Star rookie, although I think that mysterious scarf of yours has given you a big hand."
Lewis immediately felt tense and Kamu noticed. 'Is this man dangerous?' he asked.
"Yeah. And more importantly, he wants something from me." Lewis murmured.
Sanageyama stood up and smirked. "What I want from you is to test your abilities. Lady Satsuki has given me permission to fight you, and I intend to use it. So come on, attack me. Let's see what you've really got."
Lewis started thinking of a way to get out of this situation, but nothing really came to mind. If he ran Sanageyama would probably chase him down and force him to fight. If he did fight Sanageyama and won then he would disrupt the timeline. If he lost he would be beaten to a pulp!
"Come on, attack me already!" Sanageyama shouted, drawing his bamboo sword. "'Cause if you don't, then I will."
'Damn it, I can't think of a way out of this!' Lewis thought desperately.
Sanageyama spat and leapt forward, knocking desks out of the way as he flew. "Fine then, I'll just go first! Men!"
Lewis jumped backwards, the ends of Kamu raised to protect his head. The bamboo sword struck the fabric and Lewis retaliated with a punch to Sanageyama's chest, but the swordsman dodged out of the way!
"Nice try, but these eyes of mine can see everything you're about to do. Even the tiniest muscle movement betrays you." Sanageyama grinned as he went for another attack. "Dou!"
Lewis leapt out of the way of the other swing, only just clearing the end of the sword as their fight entered the corridor. Sanageyama shifted his grip as he thrust the sword at Lewis' wrist.
"Kote!" he shouted as the sword found its mark, the pain shooting up Lewis' nerves as he leapt backwards again.
As Sanageyama drew his sword back, Kamu wrapped around the bamboo blade and wrenched it out of Sanageyama's grip. Lewis caught the sword as it came down and held it defensively in front of him.
"Looks like you're at the disadvantage now. A swordsman isn't nearly as powerful without his weapon." Lewis growled.
Sanageyama smirked and crossed his arms. "Confident aren't ya? Well go on then, just try to hit me with my sword."
Lewis leapt backwards again as Kamu latched on to either ends of the corridor. When Lewis hit the ground he jumped forward again with Kamu slinging him forward at blinding speed, sword ready to thrust. In one swift movement Sanageyama leaned out of the path of the strike, gripped the handle of the sword and slammed his fist into Lewis' side, wrenching the sword from Lewis' hands and sending him crashing into the wall at a frankly unreasonable speed, throwing up a cloud of dust.
"What was that you said just before? Nowhere near as powerful?" Sanageyama asked, twirling the sword around in his hand. "That's disappointing. I was hoping for a challenge."
Two red streaks burst from the cloud of dust aimed for Sanageyama, who deflected them both with his sword. The ends of Kamu were drawn back into the dust cloud as it cleared, revealing Lewis still standing with a trail of blood going down the side of his face.
"I'm not down for the count yet." Lewis panted. "You'll have to do much better than that if you want to take me out."
Sanageyama smirked again and readied his sword. "Alright then, just remember that you brought this on yourself!"
Sanageyama disappeared and Lewis instinctively whipped around, Kamu ready to receive the blow from Sanageyama's bamboo sword. However his attack was much more powerful than Lewis estimated and he was launched off his feet and out of a window!
"Oh shit!" Lewis cried as he fell, falling towards the building. "Get ready Kamu, we're about to do something hella dangerous!"
'Got it.' Kamu agreed.
"Sonic X!" Lewis shouted as Kamu transformed.
Lewis began to run down the side of the building, the speed forcing tears from his eyes. Just as they were about to hit the ground, Lewis leapt directly off the side of the academy building and flying horizontally just a metre off the ground before he crashed into the dust, tumbling as he did. Lewis coughed and wheezed as he got up, brushing the dirt off himself.
"I can't believe we actually survived that." He panted. Looking up, he saw that Sanageyama was walking calmly towards him, but he stopped a fair distance away.
"Huh, so you can transform your scarf." He observed. "Well guess what? You're not the only one who can do that."
'Oh SHIT.' Lewis thought as Sanageyama's Goku Uniform began to transform. "Kamu, this is really bad! We need to get the hell out of here!"
As Lewis turned to look for an escape route, he saw that the entrance to Honnouji Academy was blocked off by a horde of One Star students! Looking back to Sanageyama, he saw that he'd finished his transformation sequence.
"It's time to end this." Sanageyama said, a bamboo sword on the ends of each of his massive fingertips.
"We're in a lot of trouble! Sonic X!" Lewis cringed as Sanageyama charged closer. Lewis and Kamu flung themselves out of the way, but Sanageyama caught them in a storm of sword hits.
"Shinsoku: Senbonzuki!" he shouted as Lewis tried to block at least some of the lightning fast sword strikes, but to no avail.
The assault of strikes launched Lewis backwards across the massive courtyard and into a wall. Lewis felt all strength leave him as he fell with a crash to the ground, barely able to lift himself up. Lewis coughed as Kamu attempted to help him up, but Sanageyama smacked his bamboo sword into Lewis' back, keeping him down.
"I didn't think you'd be this easy to defeat. It's really pitiful." Sanageyama said. "You don't deserve to wear one of Lady Satsuki's uniforms."
Lewis lay silent as Sanageyama lifted his sword away and removed Lewis' Goku Uniform, leaving him in only his underwear and Kamu around his neck.
"Be grateful this is the only punishment you're suffering." He snorted as he turned and marched away, the rest of the One Stars following him.
Lewis coughed as he looked up, his vision barely able to make out anything.
"What the hell… did he mean by that?" Lewis wheezed before falling unconscious.
*v*v*v*
*v*v*v*
Lewis awoke to find himself once again, not dead. It was a strangely reoccurring theme that he was glad to see happening, but all the same was confused as to why it was happening. Trying to sit up, he felt twangs of pain as the many bruises he sustained all started flaring up.
"Ugh… My everything hurts…" Lewis groaned as he inspected the room he was in. It looked much like the Mankanshoku household, but Lewis could tell that it wasn't. For one thing, he couldn't actually hear any of the noise that the rest of the family made. "Kamu, are you here?"
'I am fine.' Kamu said, laying across from Lewis' futon on the floor. 'Could you please put me on? This floor is filthy.'
"Right." Lewis nodded, wrapping Kamu around his neck. "Man, Sanageyama really did a number on us eh?"
'Indeed.' Kamu agreed.
"Did you see who brought us here?" Lewis asked, looking around for anything.
'I am afraid not.' Kamu replied.
"Really? Damn, that's another mystery to add to the pile. Alright, what day is today?" Lewis muttered to himself, trying to remember details about the timeline. "Oh right, today that guy Tsumugu is supposed to show up."
'Tsumugu?' asked Kamu.
"He's a pretty powerful guy. Hates Life Fibers. That's enough reason for us to avoid him." Lewis said. "If we steer clear of Ryuko, then we probably won't run into him."
'You still have not told me how you came to know all this.' Kamu said.
"And you haven't told me how a scarf I've had for years suddenly turned into a living being." Lewis retaliated.
'You are avoiding the question. You know what I am. Let's start with that first.' Kamu said.
Lewis sighed and lay down in his futon again. "You are a Kamui, a garment made entirely of Life Fibers, an alien parasitic organism. Most Kamuis I've observed have the ability to transform into a more powerful form, however I don't think that you have that ability."
'How so?' Kamu asked.
"For one, the other Kamuis I've seen are all complete outfits. You're different, and I think I know why. When the other Kamuis transform they all make it so they cover as little of the person's skin as possible to avoid the wearer becoming overcome with the power and going berserk. However since you only cover my neck area, which basically ensures that won't happen even though I get less of your power." Lewis explained. "And while you can't exactly transform like other Kamuis, you have other transformations that enhance certain abilities, like Sonic X."
'I see.' Kamu said before delving into thought.
Lewis got up again and began searching for his uniform. "Anyway I guess we should get to school. I'm not entirely sure that they'll be too happy if I skip out on a day."
*v*v*v*
*v*v*v*
After finding a Zero Star uniform in his cupboard, Lewis arrived back at Honnouji Academy for another day of living under the heel of Satsuki Kiriuin. Lewis frowned at the giant spire as he entered the gateway to the academy.
'I can tell you dislike her immensely, so why are you not fighting back?' Kamu asked.
"There's no point to fighting Satsuki." Lewis snorted as he entered the academy building. "Even if I were able to somehow topple her regime, I'd only be shooting myself in the foot."
'What makes you say that?' Kamu asked again.
"Context." Lewis said simply. "Give it a few weeks and my position on Satsuki's little dictatorship will become perfectly understandable."
Kamu snorted with discontent. 'Your cryptic answers do not fill me with confidence. Or answer my questions.'
"I'm just trying to avoid getting everyone in the universe to start attacking me. Or the universe from just imploding altogether." Lewis shrugged as he entered his classroom.
'And that only raises further questions.' Kamu said, rolling his eyes.
As Lewis sat down, he heard many students muttering to themselves about him. Mostly to do with absolutely getting decimated by Sanageyama, one of the members of the Elite Four, and yet he was still alive and sitting there with only bruises to show for it.
As the class continued, Lewis could hear several loud explosions throughout the school.
"Yep, that'll be Tsumugu." Lewis muttered before a thought occurred to him. "Wait, I was out cold for an entire day? Jeez, no wonder I'm so hungry."
Without warrant or warning, Mako appeared directly next to Lewis' desk and dumped onto it a box full of croquettes. "Here you go! You can't go hungry on an empty stomach, that's bad for you." She said cheerfully.
A little stunned by the sudden appearance and charity, Lewis turned to Mako. "Uh, that was a little redundant but true all the same. Thanks Mako."
"Don't worry about it!" she smiled before instantly falling asleep at her desk.
Lewis stared at her in a weirded-out stupor. 'Jeez, is her on-off switch broken?'
The teacher glanced back at Mako and immediately made a sour face. Tossing a bucket and mop directly at the absurdly ditzy girl, the teacher pointed to the door.
"Mako Mankanshoku, as punishment for sleeping in class for the fifteenth time this lesson you are to clean the toilets immediately! Now get to it!" he shouted.
Mako shrieked in terror and raced out the door, mop and bucket trailing behind her. Lewis watched her go in a mild daze.
'What an odd girl.' Kamu observed.
"And the award for Most Obvious Understatement of the Year goes to…" Lewis chuckled.
'Oh you knew what I meant.' Kamu huffed.
Once again, there was a lot of sounds of destruction and violence going on. But after a certain period, Mako returned to the classroom dragging an unconscious One Star student behind her and the broken-off brush head of the broom in her other hand.
"Teacher, where are the spare cleaning supplies kept?" she asked innocently.
Lewis blinked for a moment in confusion, wondering what the hell Mako just did to that student.
*v*v*v*
*v*v*v*
The next day, Lewis felt an odd sense of excitement. After all, tomorrow was the day that he'd finally see Sanageyama get his comeuppance.
'You seem awfully cheerful.' Kamu noticed.
Lewis nodded as he walked through the Zero Star slums. "Yep. Another fight's going to happen tomorrow, and it's going to be a good one."
'You certainly have a knack for knowing when fights are about to start don't you?' Kamu asked.
"Believe me, the quicker I can identify if a fight is going to happen, the faster I can get out of the way. Or at least to an area where I can get a good view." Lewis smirked.
Catching the tram up to the Academy, Lewis saw that he had actually sat quite close to Mako.
"Hey, it's you again!" she said excitedly, jumping into the seat next to Lewis. "So how are you?"
"I definitely feel a lot better since yesterday." Lewis said. "Those croquettes you gave me were delicious."
"No problem!" she said chirpily.
Lewis frowned a little when he noticed something missing. "Hey Mako, where's your friend? Ryuko was it?"
"Huh? Oh yeah! She didn't come home yesterday!" Mako gasped. "I don't know where she is! AHHHHH-"
"Well I'm sure you'll see her at school today!" Lewis shouted, covering his ears to block out Mako's screaming.
"Oh, okay!" Mako smiled.
'I wonder if this girl has any problems with mood swings?' Kamu asked.
"I think she's just enthusiastic." Lewis said under his breath.
"So where are all your friends?" Mako asked.
Lewis sighed a little and tugged at Kamu. "Right now I'm wearing my only one. His name is Kamu."
"Eh? Oh, so you talk to your clothes too, just like Ryuko." Mako said understandingly.
'This Ryuko girl, she has a Kamui?' Kamu asked.
"She does?" Lewis asked in a surprised tone.
"Yep! She calls him Senketsu." Mako explained. "He's her only uniform and one of her best friends. And Ryuko is my best friend. Hey, if you don't have any friends do you want to be our friend?"
This thought struck Lewis harder than any of Sanageyama's attacks from a few days prior. If he became Mako's friend then he might accidentally mess something up in the timeline! If he did there was a chance that he could cause the Life Fibers to win, and cause the destruction of the entire planet!
"I appreciate your offer Mako, but I think I'll have to decline." Lewis said.
"Huh? Why?" Mako asked.
"Well, it's a little bit difficult to explain that." Lewis said, scratching the back of his head.
'If it is only a little bit difficult then you should have no trouble explaining. I too am wondering why you are declining her offer.' Kamu said suspiciously.
"Well… Okay, this sounds really selfish and horrible but… you guys tend to get into a lot of danger and I really don't want to get hurt." Lewis said. "Besides, I think I'd only get in the way."
A spotlight snapped on and a brief chorus of 'hallelujah' was heard as Mako stood in front of Lewis, arms crossed above her head. "If we get into trouble then Ryuko can protect us! She always protected me, even when I didn't even have to ask her! You really should be our friend. I know how sad it is being alone all the time, but friendship is the happiness of the infinite soul, and nobody should ever be without that kind of happiness!"
Lewis blinked in confusion again after just witnessing a Mako Moment first hand. 'I think I'm going to need a minute to process what I just saw and heard.'
Mako looked intensely at Lewis, her face both adorable and fiercely determined. Lewis couldn't find the will to deny her anymore.
"Alright, I'll hang out with you guys." Lewis smiled.
"Yayness!" Mako cheered as she started chattering incessantly, the tram rising up to Honnouji Academy.
*v*v*v*
*v*v*v*
When they reached the Academy, Mako had made it a point to bring Lewis to her and Ryuko's usual hangout.
"Hiya Ryuko!" Mako waved as they approached.
"Hey Mako." Ryuko waved before noticing Lewis. "Hey, isn't that the One Star guy from the No Late Day?" Ryuko asked.
"Yeah, nice to see you again." Lewis nodded.
Ryuko frowned as she put a hand to her chin. "Where'd your Goku Uniform go?" she asked.
Lewis cringed as he looked away. "I got demoted. Sanageyama beat the living tar outta me and Kamu."
"Kamu?" she asked.
"Oh yeah, my scarf." Lewis said, tugging at the centre as one of the ends waved at Ryuko.
"Oh yeah, that thing." Ryuko said. "Is it a Kamui?"
"I guess so. It's a little different from yours, I will say." Lewis shrugged.
"How'd you know Senketsu was a Kamui?" Ryuko asked defensively.
"It helps when you and Satsuki keep shouting that word every time you're fighting." Lewis shrugged.
Ryuko looked a little stupefied before shaking her head and getting back on topic. "Where'd you get it?" Ryuko asked, studying Kamu closely.
"Kamu was a gift from my mother, though I didn't know that it was a Kamui at the time. Or what one was. In fact for a long time I just thought he was a normal scarf. He wasn't even red." Lewis explained.
"Huh. Weird." Ryuko said.
"Yeah and speaking of, I think your uniform is looking at me funny." Lewis said, shrinking away from Senketsu's eye.
"You're one to talk." Ryuko retorted as she sat down again and Mako and Lewis joined her. "So what was your name anyway?"
"Oh man, I forgot to tell you guys my name." Lewis said. "My name is Lewis. It's good to finally meet someone who doesn't want to beat my ass into the ground."
