"So, you guys talked to Gen already, right?" Himeka asked as Yoshimori and Tokine walked towards her the next night.

"Yeah. Are there any secrets you haven't told us?" Yoshimori narrowed his eyes at her.

"No." she lied. "Even if I did why would I tell you?"

"Because we're a team."

"Team?" she tilted her head before laughing.

"What's so funny?" Yoshimori sneered.

"I proved Gen wrong." Himeka grinned.

"What?" he asked.

"Nothing. " she smiled and walked away.

"Hey, get back here!" he yelled and chased her.

"No way, Mr. Chosen One!" She yelled and ran faster.

"No fair! You are part Ayakaishi! That gives makes you stronger and faster!" he complained. He smiled and put a huge kekkai around her, making her smack into the side.

"Ow! My face hurts!" she cried.

"Himeka." Yoshimori came up behind her when he put the kekkai down. "You're bleeding."

Himeka looked at her knees which were both bleeding along with her nose. She mumbled something about Yoshimori and played innocent when he asked what she said. He sat in front of her, wrapping gauze around her knee.

"Hey, Yoshimori, do you remember a girl named Hinata Hinamori?" she asked out of nowhere.

He looked at her in surprise. Her face was hidden by her hair so he couldn't read her face.

"Yeah. I don't think I can ever forget her."

"And why is that?"

"Well, I don't think she remembers it but... she saved my ass when we were little."

"She did?" Himeka couldn't remember that.

"Yeah. When we were in fourth grade a bunch of six graders were picking on this little girl, trying to steal her sweets from lunch. I came in and diverted their attention away from her so she could get away. They were pissed of course and was about to beat me up but then she came in. She yelled at them and they ran off for whatever reason. I remember that big cheesy smile on her face..." he smiled softly. "All right! You're done!"

"So... did you like her?"

"Honestly... I did when I was little but then I had to stop hanging out with her because of training. Then earlier this year I hung out with her for a little while but... that's all it took for me to like her again. So, Himeka, what's up with all of these questions? Do you know her? Is she O.K.?"

"She's fine. A little ill still but fine." she lied. "Not sure what they're gonna do with her though. You could talk to your brother but I don't know."

"O.K." he said and watch her walk off. "...Weird girl..."

"Himeka, I'm going over to Gen's, you wanna come?" Yosimori knocked on her door.

"Sure. Just let me finish getting dressed." she answered.

In a few minutes she was done and the two left for Gen's. They knocked on the door but got no reply.

"Are you sure this is it?" Yoshimori asked her.

"Yes. Gen, open up! We have handouts from school and food." she said.

"I don't want newspaper." he said.

"Gen, it's Himeka and Yoshimori, just open the door."

Gen reluctantly opened the door and let the two in. They sat at the table and ate in silence.

"What's that white box?" Gen asked.

"You have a good eye!" Yoshimori beamed. "Behold! Chocolate cake made with all my heart and soul!"

They stayed silent.

"What? Do you think it's wrong for a guy to like to bake?"

"No... Let's just eat it."

"Okay then." Yoshimori laid three pieces for each of them.

"This is delicious, Yoshimori." Himeka smiled as she ate it.

"Thanks."

"Gen, are you home?" a voice at the door asked.

"Ah, it that-" Himeka's mouth was covered by Gen's hand.

"SHHH!" he hissed.

"What's going on?"

Muffled shouts came from Himeka as she glared at Gen.

"I'll go open it-"

"No! Do not." Gen said.

"GEN I KNOW YOU'RE IN THERE! OPEN UP! HEY! GEN!" the door was being abused by the person.

"IF IT'S THE NEWSPAPER, I DON'T WANT IT!" Gen screamed and the banging stopped.

The door was kicked down and a woman came in. She stared at the group of teenagers with shock and suspension and Tokine gasped. that's when they noticed the position they were in. Gen had his hand over Himeka's mouth and her hands behind her back while Yoshimori was crouched in front of her. What made it even worse was Himeka legs were spread three teens blushed bright red and all jumped away from each other.

"It's not what it looks like!" the all yelled at once.

Oh my gosh that is hilarious! Awkward but hilarious! What will become of our beloveded characters? Will they believe their story or not?

Wait until the next chapter.

Thank you...
