"So Kenichi... is there something that you want to tell your masters?" Sakaki asked in his usual semi blunt tactless manner.

Kenichi ran his fingers through his hair and looked from one face to another and made a humming sound before cheerfully saying, "Nope."

"So if we ask you something like... Are you fratrinizing with the enemy? What would you say?" Kensei asked curiously. Kenichi gave him a blank look. Fraterinizing with the enemy? Really? That's what they called his greeting to Winter. God their thick in the head. Kenichi thought in bemusement.

"I hardly call a simple kiss-"

"Ravishment-" Akisame supplied, obviously not caring that he had just interrupted Kenichi. "That kiss wasn't a simple 'hi, how are you' sort of kiss Kenichi. That was a claiming." Kenichi made a scoffing sound.

The kiss he'd given to Winter paled in comparison to what he planned to do with her now that he knew she was in town somewhere. No, no. That hadn't been a ravishment. That really had been a greeting. The ravishment- It would come later once he had her cornered with no hope of escape.

"No it wasn't." Kenichi denied, unaware that his face was a vivid red. His masters noticed though. They were standing just a few feet away from him, so of course they would notice. But that didn't mean that Kenichi didn't wish that they wouldn't notice though.

"Oh Kenichi..." One of his masters said in a very low, soft tone that held a sad note to it drawing the teen's gaze to them. What the hell was that 'oh' for? He wondered darkly as Kensei asked.

"Don't you have a crush on Miu?"

"Yeah Kenichi, you've had the hots for her ever since the day you met now suddenly some tart-" Kenichi reacted so quickly that Shigure had to use her katana to block the shiriken that the teen had thrown at them before snarling.

"Who the hell do you think you are to talk about my Angel? You have no idea who she is, what she's done- You certainly never helped her when she was in trouble so don't any of you stand there and call her names in front of me and feel that you have the fucking right to lecture me. Get out."

The masters all stood there in stunned silence, staring at their desciple in disbelief. Kenichi was practically vibrating with rage.

The masters exchanged looks then very quietly started for the door and filed out one by one until only Shigure and Apachai were left. The two paused at the door as Kenichi took a shuttering breath and sat back down on his bed and buried his face in his hands when he heard Shigure clear her throat. He peeked out from between his fingers at them and gritted out a slightly less angry sounding, "What?" Before Apachai said in a hesitant tone.

"If the girl means so much to you; then you should invite her over to visit or eat dinner with us so that we can meet her properly."

Kenichi dropped his hands away from his face and gave Apachai and Shigure a wry smile. "That wouldn't be such a bad idea if I knew everyone would play nice." And if I could corner her long enough to persuade her. Kenichi added mentally.

"If you invite her over... Shigure and I will make sure that everyone plays nice." Apachai said soberly as Shigure nodded her head in agreement. Kenichi gave them a grateful look as they both slipped out of his room and quietly slid the door closed behind them.
