"Hey guys look at this ride; it's so big and scary looking. Let's go on it then have more fun" Senna said pointing to a huge ass roller coaster known as the Ripper. They had been at carnival for about three hours and had played six games and had ridden eight roller coasters all ready and Taiyō was looking like the kind of green that you would see in scientific lab chemicals.

"Um how about you guys go on without me, ok?" Taiyō said turning pale by looking at the coaster.

"Come on Tai, it's just a coaster. What's the wrong with it?" Senna asked while trying to push him towards it.

"Senna stop that now. I mean it! I said STOP!"

"No way, you have to get on it if I do" she said teasingly.

"Senna stop it right now!"

"Nope, I won't do it"

"Senna, let him go right now!" Riza yelled. She had yelled loud enough that a few people started staring at her, until she shot a glare that said 'Don't you dare say a thing'. Taken aback by Riza snapping at her, Senna let Taiyō go.

"Thanks Riza." He said walking away.

"Senna, you need to learn that there are boundaries that you do not need to cross. You could end up dead if you don't learn 'em. After the ride, I want you to tell him you're sorry" Riza said in a firm but calm voice.

"Yes ma'am."

Walking around aimlessly Taiyō found that being alone had its perks. For instance he could think without being interrupted.

Why does she always have to do that kinda shit? She knows that it bothers me. It's as if she wants me to go insane, damn girl.

While in his thoughts, Taiyō didn't see the person in front of him.

"Uff"

"Oh I'm sorry that I bumped into you, let me help you up" Taiyō said lowering his hand to the person he knocked over. He noticed it was a woman he had knocked over but he could not see her face.

"Oh no it's not your fault it's all mine. I wasn't looking where I was going. Wait, hold it, Taiyō is that you? It is you!"

"Oh hey Isane, sorry for not noticing you earlier. Are you here alone by yourself?"

"Ya I am. So what are you doing here?"

"The gang is here, well except for Gin and Arturo, but if you want to see them head for the Ripper ok"

"Ay Ay captain" she said jokingly

As Isane ran off in the direction he pointed to, Taiyō thought of his dear, but dim friend. Isane was a human with demon powers that were given to her at birth. She had dark silver hair, pale skin, blue eyes, a lean and (as he and every other guy who knew or seen her) hot body. Not to mention her huge… err... assets, which many pervs kept staring at.

At that thought he shook his head trying to not think about it or he would be like most the other guys that were at his school.

"Wow that was fun, let's go again!" Senna squealed.

"That was the fifth time Sen, give it a break, ok?" Santí said looking about to puke his guts out.

"Ya let's go find Taiyō, ok?" Natsume said looking the same way.

"Hey guys! Wait up!"

They all turned around to see Isane running towards them.

"Oh hey Isane, long-time-no-see. Have you, by any chance seen my brother? " Riza said.

"Hello Riza, Taiyō was back that way"

"Well we better go find him guys" Santí said

"Ya, especially since Senna has to apologize to him" Natsume chimed in.

"What does she mean Riza?" Isane asked.

"We'll explain later" she said.

While walking, the group was talking of things from childhood, foods, games, love interests (Riza noticed a blush on Senna's face when they brought up Taiyō's name.) to hobbies. All of this was interrupted by an explosion in the distance.

"That's in Taiyō's direction!" Isane yelled.

"Come on we have to get there now!" Santí said.

All five ran to where their friend was. When they got there they saw that a food stand had gone up in flames and was now ashes and burnt wood on the ground. They also saw two figures standing in the fire. One was Taiyō, with his jacket and shirt torn to shreds in the front, showing off his abs, and the other was obscured by the flames so one really couldn't really tell what it was.

"Taiyō are you ok?" Riza yelled

"Ya I'm fine. This guy is strong though. Also, why is it every time we're off duty does this kinda shit happen? I mean it's getting to be a pain in my ass."

"Well bro you might wanna shut up since you look pretty bad. Just go full force" Riza said

"Hell no! You remember last time right? I can't go back to the library because of that."

"Why? They kick you out or something?" Santí asked.

"There's no library to go to anymore. That's why"

Everyone except Riza had a WTF look on their faces.

"Looks like I'll have to do this the hard way" Taiyō said pulling out a katana from his sleeve. The blade was pitch-black, the kind of black that resembles the devil's soul itself, and one side was serrated while the other was smooth but still sharp. Its hilt was silver colored and had kunai knife on the end.

"Bring it big guy, lets go!"
