"Wow! He sounds strong...and hot!" Lita said and they all started laughing as they walked down the street. Amara just smiled and stared off into the sky and saw his face in the air...Sojiro, I like that name, I wonder what his last name is... she thought.

"Hey, earth to Amara? Come in Amara." Lita said.

Amara blinked and turned to Lita, "What?"

"I asked you how old you think he is...what were you thinking about?" Lita said.

"Oh nothing really; probably about 17...that's what I think." Amara said.

"Don't you mean that's what you hope? I think you've got a crush on him Amara!" Michelle said teasingly.

Amara looked away, "I don't know what you're talking about Michelle, I don't have a crush on Sojiro." she said defiantly.

"Ha ha! I think you do, especially after the answer you just gave!! It's written all over your face Amara!" Lita said and they all started laughing again.

Amara started blushing, "Oh shut it you guys!"

"Hey look! She's blushing! Just admit it Amara, you like him!" Raye said laughing.

"Stop it!" Amara said as they reached the parking lot where Amara and Michelle and Trista had parked. Amara ran, hopped on her bike, and sped off.

"Oh you don't think we hurt her feelings do you Michelle?" Amy asked worried.

"No, she's fine, if she's that bothered then she really likes him, she just needs some time to cool off." Michelle said as she and Trista got into their car and pulled away. "See you all later! Take care!" Michelle said as the turned the corner. They all waved, then headed home, not talking, just thinking.
-------------------------------------------------------
Amara wanders around the park, deep in thought. Why'd they go and tease me like that...oh well, I'll get them back. I wonder where Sojiro is, does he have a home? I hope so, it's gonna rain tonight. Amara thought as she stared at the sky. She heard a bird start singing in one of the trees, she smiled.

"That's a cardinal singing, and the other is a blue jay." a familiar voice said. Amara turned around, and standing behind her was Sojiro. "How are you feeling? Did those senzu beans help your two friends?" he asked smiling. Amara stared at him. How did he know that was me and the others?

"Yeah...how'd you find out who we are? No one knows..." she said surprised.

"Oh, I matched energy signals...I can sense energy levels, signals, the whole thing. I'm not exactly from around here." he said with a laugh.

"That's cool, say, uh...how old are you? And what's your last name? ...just wondering." Amara said.

"Oh, I'm 17, and my full name is Sojiro Kaneja." he said with a smile, "What's your name?" he asked.

"My name is Amara Tenou..." she replied.

"Amara, that's a beautiful name, just like you." He said with a smile.
