Ann looked at Pucca nervously, "You see I got divorced from Garu's father because of the plan he had to get revenge, and he wanted to use Garu in it so that he wouldn't be punished but as for Garu would. The plan was he would kill Tobe's father, so that he could not hurt anymore innocent people..." Pucca interrupted.

"What do you mean?"

"I'm afraid Tobe's father was Tabitha's brother. He disapproved of Garu's father, which Garu's father's name was Ling and Tobe's father's name was Terry. Just so you won't get confused, I'll use their real names now." giggled Ann.

"Wait what does this have to do with Garu?" asked Pucca. "You see it started out like any other day in Sooga," Ann began, "..of course Terry(Tobe's father) was always jealous of Ling(Garu's father if your still confused) because he was honorable,had a wonderful girlfriend,and a clever son. I was there because I lived in a house in the bamboo forest."

Pucca nodded for her to continue.

Ann took that as a cue to continue, "Ling was in love with your mother, and she loved him back although she was already married, sadly it was an arranged marriage. You were only five at the time, and Garu was six and a half, you two were best friends at the time. Anyway, your father was very honorable, but abusive towards your mother and yourself at times."

"I remember that." muttered Pucca madly, "Wait Garu and I were best friends?"

"Yep you two were unseperatable, Garu kissed you on the cheek a couple of times. It was if you two were in a "relationship", it was very cute. Your father on the other hand, hated Ling and disapproved of Garu hanging around you. He was also jealous of the secret relationship you mother and Ling had, Terry and your father agreed that Ling had to be out of the picture."

"Just skip to the important part please." pleaded Pucca childishly, noticing she had to get back to cleaning up.

Ann smiled, "One day Terry and your father teamed up to try to kill Ling, try to think back to that day Pucca."

Pucca sat, and thought hardly until it all came back to her...

Flashback

Pucca stood in the middle of the road watching a man being chased by two others, she recognized one of the followers was her father. "Why is he chasing that man?" thought Pucca noticing they were chasing Garu's father, with Garu in his arms.

She shouted out his name, as her own father picked her up and carried her with him. "Daddy where are we going?!" asked Pucca franticly. He didn't respond but Pucca looked back into the distance to find her mother watching with fear, she did not know that was the last time she would see her.

He dropped her on the grass as she watched him surround Garu's father and Garu whimpering as her father was getting ready to swing his katana at him. Trying to think fast Pucca ran towards Garu to push him out of the way.

The two landed by rocks Garu instantly got knocked out as his head hit a rock but didn't seem to leave a cut in his head. Pucca quickly looked over to the most horrifying sight, her own father killed her best friend's dad.

All she could hear is the chuckling of her father and the man near by, but as she looked over to find Garu not by her side. She heard a screech then quickly looked over at Tobe's father laying on the ground, clutching his side in pain.

"How could you kill the most honorable ninja?!" her father screamed at Garu, "I forbid for you to ever speak to my daughter again!"

He vanished shortly after into the fog, leaving Garu and Pucca alone. "I'll take you home.." said Garu shyly. Pucca let out a giggle then thanked him, not knowing of what awaits her at home.

Tobe was older than both of them he was eight at the time,Pucca was five,and like before Garu was six and a half. He waited for the two to come, so he could get revenge on Garu.

Pucca came home and screamed at the sight, her mother dead on the floor in a pool of blood. Tobe not in sight, but a group of ninjas racing towards her and Garu.

Garu jumped in front of Pucca and starting to fight them off. All Pucca could think about how Garu saved her life,and of course how cute he was.

A week later from the incident Pucca was crying by a tree, Garu walked up to her, "Whats wrong?"

"My mommy died!" sobbed Pucca with thousands of tears streaming down her cheeks. He stared at her in silence, and sat down by her hugging her tightly. "Same thing happened to my daddy." replied Garu sadly.


Pucca smiled at him,"At least I have my best friend."

End Of Flashback

"I remember..." Pucca said quietly to herself, "WAIT TOBE IS MY COUSIN?!"

"Well, your mother's brother was in fact Tobe's father...so officially yes." stated Ann in a nervous tone, "No one knows where your father is though."

"I need to be getting back to work..." Pucca looked over at the clock.

"Oh...I'm sorry for taking up your time Pucca. I'll see you later." Ann got up and walked out of the Guh-Rong.

Next Day At Noon

Abyo called Garu to have a little chat with him.

"Garu how's the relationship?" teased Abyo making Garu give him a 'Your so childish!' look. "Were not in a relationship...are we?" Garu was totally clueless at the moment.

Abyo smacked himself on the forehead, "Of course you and Pucca are! I see the way you look at her! I bet you want a little action...eh?!"

"I don't like for that." Garu looked away. "What do you like her for? You know you want to just have some action with her! I mean if you don't want action it's pointless...because her body is so-.." Garu cut off Abyo from finishing the sentence, "Abyo!"

"Sorry dude it's just she's so hot!" admitted Abyo hoping the consequence for saying that wouldn't be a punch in the face. "She is..it's just I've had these fantasies of her for a long time, and I really want to tell her it's just it would be awkward. Just don't tell her or else I'll kick your ass! " threatened Garu walking away making Abyo smile teasingly.

Pucca noticed Garu walking rather fast down the main road so she decided to catch up with him.

"Hey!" called out Pucca appearing beside Garu. "Hey." replied Garu. A few minutes passed as they walked in complete silence, while Garu was having some rather 'interesting' fantasies about Pucca.

"Garu...Garu...GARU!" Pucca yelled awakening Garu from his fantasies. "Oh sorry." apologized Garu.

"I thought you lost your hearing for a moment there." giggled Pucca, "I have a question for you, and I want an answer."

"Yes?" asked Garu letting his eyes wonder.

"Do you want me?" she asked him in a seductive tone, while wrapping her arms around him in a tight grasp pulling them closely together face to face.

Now Garu did love her and did want her, he just wasn't ready for 'it' yet.

"Uh-Uh..." he tried to answered but felt a pair of lips gently kiss his neck, turning him on even more.

"I have to go..." he quickly pulled away from her.

Pucca showed a smile in relief, as Ching walked up to her. "Wow, Garu can control himself!"

"I guess so, for a second there I thought he was going to be an Abyo." giggled Pucca, "Good thing he passed that little test."

"Are you going to talk to him about the whole past thing on your date with him tomorrow?" asked Ching.

Pucca started to walk away ignoring Ching completely, "I've just found out something, more shocking than that."
