Chapter Three

"Slow down…Ryoko!" Yelled Kousuke between choked breaths. He stopped on the sidewalk. Ryoko looked behind her and started to run back to Kousuke.

"Oh come on. You've ran more than that before." Said Ryoko

"Yeah, but not while trying to keep up with you. You run way too fast." Said Kousuke recovering his lost breath. "You said you'd go easy."

"So, that was easy for me. You're just out of shape. You eat way to much junk food." Said Ryoko.

"I do not." Said Kousuke sounding like a little kid.

"You do too. How do you explain all the chocolate you've eaten lately and the lollipops?"

"I…I…that wasn't me! I have no idea what you are talking about. Nope." Said Kousuke smiling. Ryoko knew he was kidding.

"Well the house is like two minutes away. You can run that far."

"O.K." Said Kousuke and he started running after Ryoko.

Ayumu Narumi walked over to the counter and placed his bowl into the silver sink. It was full of dishes, so Ayumu decided to do them. He had picked up his first dish when the front door opened. A young girl with medium grey hair stood in the doorway to the kitchen. A big round green object was held in her arms.

"Um, Hi." Said Ayumu. He wasn't quite sure what to do or say.

"Hi." Said the girl placing the green object on the table.

"What is that?" Asked Ayumu although he already knew.

"A watermelon." She walked back over to the door and kicked off her shoes.

"I'm Ayumu."

"That's great."

"Who are you?"

"Rio Takeuchi." The girl was now looking at Ayumu weirdly.

"Oh. You go to the High School around here. You're the girl that I helped, when they all thought you broke that window."

"Yeah. Kousuke!"

"He's not here." Said a voice. The person was now standing in the hallway.

"Oh. Is Eyes here Kanone?" Asked Rio.

"Yeah. He's outside, by the stream. I was just going to head out to meet Kousuke. He went running with Ryoko. He should be home right about…now." The front door opened and the shut loudly.

"Oh, hey Rio, Kanone." Said Ryoko. "Ayumu." Kousuke walked over to Ayumu.

"Hey." He said quietly. "We can talk later tonight. See ya later." Kousuke walked over to Kanone. "So are you ready?"

"Yeah. See you guys later." Said Kanone. Kousuke and Kanone left the house and went into the backyard. Ryoko went to the fridge, grabbed a water and left the kitchen and headed up the stairs. Rio put the watermelon in the fridge, grabbed a juice, and then headed up the stairs.

Ayumu turned back to the dishes. He washed all of the dishes and then headed back to Kousuke's room. He noticed that a window led to a part of the roof. He climbed threw the window and sat on the one part that had been straight. He looked out across the yard. He saw Eyes sitting by the stream, a pencil and paper in his hands. He saw Kanone out in the yard and…Kousuke.

Ayumu sat back up. Kousuke was throwing something into a wooden board. Ayumu realized that it was throwing knives. He sat back and watched Kousuke practice.

"Good Kousuke." Said Kanone. He grabbed the knives out of the board and put them in a sheath. "Now we're going to practice with the bow. Here." Kanone tossed a bow and a bag filled with arrows at Kousuke. He caught both of the items. He put the bag over his head and held the bow.

Kousuke slid an arrow onto the bow and held the bowstring back. He positioned it to hit in the middle of the dartboard and let it go. The arrow hit the middle. Kousuke smiled.

"Very good. Well it's starting to get late."

"It's only 4 o'clock." Said Kousuke.

"Well I have things to do." Said Kanone and he walked back towards the house.

Kousuke pulled the arrows out of the board and placed them back into the bag. Then he too started to walk towards the house.

He entered though the front door and kicked off his shoes. He saw Rio sitting on the couch watching television.

"Rio, you know Eyes and Kanone told you not to watch T.V." Said Kousuke.

"I know, but I really want to. You won't say anything will you, Kousuke-kun?" Asked Rio.

"Of course. Your not suppose to be. Plus I'll be able to get you in trouble." Rio gave him a death stare.

"You wouldn't."

"Oh, but I would." Said Kousuke a smirk on is face.

"Oh, your so mean." Said Rio, as she got off the couch and turned of the television. She headed up the stairs and into her room, slamming the door behind her.

Kousuke walked into the kitchen and grabbed two Pepsis. He headed up stairs to his room. He didn't see Ayumu anywhere. He looked around and then noticed that the window was open. He walked over to it and saw Ayumu sitting on the roof. He stood there a minute before he called out to him.

"Ayumu! It's getting late! Come in side!" Called Kousuke. Ayumu looked behind him and saw Kousuke. He smiled and Kousuke smiled back. He climbed though the open window and back into the room. Kousuke sat in the computer chair and twirled around. Ayumu sat down on the edge of Kousuke's bed.

"Kousuke?" Asked Ayumu. Kousuke stopped spinning around and looked at Ayumu.

"What is it?" He asked. He picked up a pencil off of the table and started spinning it around his fingers.

"Can you tell me more about the Blade Children?" Ayumu asked hopefully. Kousuke put the pencil back on the desk and sat back in the comfy chair. He thought about it. Should he really tell Ayumu about the Blade Children? After a few minutes he nodded his head.
