"It is a pleasure to meet you~de arimasu," said the mysterious boy. "My name is Ra's Linchen. I hail from Nagarzê, Tibet~de arimasu."

"Thanks for saving me, Ra's-san," said Kazuha. "~de arimasu?"

"No need for thanks~de arimasu. As a holder of the 'Tears of Kunlun', it is my job to protect the weak~de arimasu. Your cries for help are what led Kunlun to guide me straight to you~de arimasu."

"Kunlun?"

"What?! You do not know of Kunlun~de arimasu? She is the goddess of the world, residing within all the life on the planet and protecting us from danger~de arimasu. She also resides throughout the entire planet~de arimasu."

"I have no idea what this kid is talking about," thought Kazuha. "Well, it's a pleasure to meet you Ra's-san, but I have to get going; I have a concert to attend."

"Very well. May the path of Kunlun guide us together again~de arimashou."

He began running down the street crossway. But Kazuha suddenly noticed a red light.

"NO! STOP!" Kazuha cried.

*HONK*

A truck was suddenly about to run Ra's over.

"WATCH OUT!" cried Kazuha.

*CRASH*

Kazuha hid her eyes with his fingers, hoping to avoid seeing something so gruesome. As she opened her fingers to take a peek, she saw Ra's completely okay and with his arm out in front of the truck...which had been smashed by the front of Ra's' palm. In an instant, Kazuha stared in shock.

"HEY, YOU-SON-OF-A-BITCH!" cried the truck driver from within the truck. "LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO MY BABY!"

"It was YOUR fault for driving so fast~de arimasu!"

"MY fault?!" exclaimed the truck driver as he got of the truck and walked towards Ra's' to give him a peace of his mind. "You're the one who should've looked before crossing—"

"WAIT! STOP!" Kazuha cried as she threw herself in front of Ra's to protect her. "I am SO terribly sorry about him. I think he's new to this place, so he didn't know any better!" She turned to Ra's and began frantically pushing her away.

"What are you doing~de arimasuka?" asked the angered Tibetan boy. "That man gave off a bad Kunlun by trying to run me over~de arimasuka!"

"You don't understand, Ra's-san. In a city, these street have big flashing boxes hanging above them called traffic light, and when the light is red, you need to wait until it turns green, so it IS your fault for destroying the truck," explained Kazuha. "Speaking of that truck, how the hell did you stop it with your own hand?"

"...Because I have something protecting me: the 'Tears of Kunlun'~de arimasu," explained Ra's. "They—"

*GRUMBLE*

Ra's stopped as she and Kazuha heard Ra's' stomach grumbling.

"Oh, you must be hungry," said Kazuha. "How about I take you out to eat?"

"N-No! I am just fine~de arimasu!" said Ra's frantically. "I have already eaten a while ago~de arimasu! And I don't wanna..."

Some time later, Kazuha and Ra's were sitting at a table outside of restaurant with their meals right in front of them.

"What is this?" asked Ra's

"It's called pasta," answered Kazuha. "Try it, it's good."

And so, Ra's took his fork and stuck it into his bowl. When he lifted it out, however, the noodles fell off the fork. So he tried again and the same thing happened. So he tried again, this time a little more angier, but still had no luck. So he got more angry and began stabbing at his meal as he tried again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And—"

"That's not how you eat pasta," giggled Kazuha. "Here, you use you fork to twirl it around so that the food won't fall off."

So Ra's dipped his fork into the bowl once again, twirled the fork, pulled it, and sure enough, the food didn't fall off. So he put the food in the food in his mouth, chewed it for a few seconds, and swallowed.

"So, how was it?" asked Kazuha.

"...…...DELICIOUS~DE ARIMASU!" Ra's cried after a brief moment of silence and with stars in his eyes. "THANK YOU VERY MUCH! I—OH! I totally forgot! I never asked for your name~de arimasu."

"My name? I'm Aoi Kazuha."

"Well then, Kazuha-san, I would like to express my sincere thanks for the meal~de arimasu! You are the owner of a very kind Kunlun~de arimasu."

"Uh, no problem!" Kazuha chuckled blushingly as she rubbed the back of her head. "By the way, Ra's-san, what bring you to Japan?"

"I am here in search of my 'fated partner'~de arimasu," said Ra's.

"Fated...partner...?"

"Yes. My body is that of a normal person, but has the power of the 'Tears of Kunlun'~de arimasu."

"Tears of Kunlun?"

"When I find my fated partner, the TRUE power of the 'Tears of Kunlun' shall be unlocked~de arimasu. In my hometown of Nagarzê, women are very scarce. And even then, NONE of the women in my village have been able to resonate when the 'Tears of Kunlun'~de arimashita. That is why my elder has sent me to West Genetics, because there are said many girls who share the 'Tears of Kunlun"~de arimashou."

"Wait a second! Tears of Kunlun? Fated Partner? West Genetics?" gasped Kazuha. "...Ra's-san, by any chance, could you be—"

"Aoi-chan!"

Kazuha suddenly noticed two teenagers with similar clothing to Kazuha walking up to her and Ra's. "Hiiragi-san, Arturia, it's good to see you! Would you like to join us?"

"Sure," Arturia said as he and Hiiragi joined the table.

"So, Aoi-chan," asked Hiiragi, "who's your boyfriend?"

"Boyfriend?!" exclaimed Kazuha embarrassingly. "No no no no! He's not my—"

"My name is Ra's Linchen," said the Tibetan boy. "I've come from Nagarzê, Tibet is search of my fated partner~de arimasu."

"Nice to meet you," Hiiragi said as he held out his hand to shake Ra's'. "I'm Hiiragi Kaoru, and this is my friend Arturia Crypton."

"Hi," said Arturia. "So, do you have any preference on you fated partner?"

"Not yet~de arimasu," said Ra's. "But I know that Kunlun will be there to guide me~de arimasu."

"Kunlun?" asked Hiiragi. "Do you have any idea what Kunlun is?" he whispered to Kazuha, who just shook his head.

"Oh, that reminds me," said Kazuha, "what are you and Arturia doing here?"

"Well, today we have the day off," said Hiiragi, "so we were on our way to a concert to a Social Psycho concert at Shintoshi Arena, and we just ran into you on the way."

"Hey! I'M going to the Social Psycho concert as well," said Kazuha with joy. "I'm going with my new Pandora partner."

"Cool!" said Arturia. "And who you're partner?"

"Well," began Kazuha, "he happens to be Sate—"

"HEY! BITCH!"

Kazuha suddenly got cut-off by a familiar voice and she noticed four men walking up to them; three of the men were very familiar.

"You again?!" Kazuha yelled.

"We got a bone to pick with you, you little cunt!" said the lead thug.

"Huh? What's going on?" asked Hiiragi.

"Three of those guys tried to rape me earlier today before Ra's saved me."

"Raped you?!" Hirragi gasped as he and her friends stood up.

"Get outta here, faggot!" shouted the lead thug. "This is none of you're fucking business!"

"You're wrong!" Hiiragi whispered with a sadistic smile. "Aoi-chan happens to be a friend of mine. And the enemy of my friend is MY enemy as well!"

"I MEAN IT!" the lead thug pulled out a gun and pointed it at Hiiragi's head. "GET LOST! OR I'LL SHOOT YOU WITH—"

"—with a toy gun?" chuckled Hiiragi.

"TOY GUN?! BULLSHIT! THIS AIN'T NO FAKE!"

"Then what are waiting for?" Hiiragi's smile turned more evil. "Shoot me!"

The lead thug started shaking nervously.

"Shoot me!" whispered Hiiragi. "SHOOT ME!"

*BANG*

Kazuha covered her mouth in shock.

Arturia screamed in horror.

Ra's froze in his feet.

The thug group's eyes widened.

The three stared at Hiiragi...holding a katana in his right hand that blocked the bullet.

"Where'd that sword come from?" asked one of the thugs.

"Don't tell me!" panicked another thug. "IS HE A PANDORA!"

"THAT'S RIGHT!" gloated the brown-haired Pandora boy and another katana materialized in his other hand. "Now, according to West Genetics rules, Pandora are not allowed to attack anyone expect Nova or, during training, other Pandoras. So I'll give you punks 10 seconds to get the hell outta my sight, because I'd gladly get punished for breaking the rules if it means protecting someone close to me. 1..."

"S-STAY BACK!" panicked the lead thug.

"...2..."

"I MEAN IT!"

"...8..."

"I'LL BLOW YOUR BRAINS OUT!"

"...9..."

"YOU ARE SO DEAD!"

"...10!" Hiiragi charged at the lead thug.

*BANG*

*CHING*

The leader shot at the Japanese Pandora boy once again, only to have it be blocked by the Dual Katana blades.

Reaching the leader...

*BAM*

...Hiiragi slammed his arm into the leader's nose and knocked him back.

"You should at least be grateful that my Volt Weapon didn't touch your skin, loser!" Hiiragi shouted in anger.

"THAT'S ENOUGH!"

Hiiragi suddenly saw another thug holding a gun next to Arturia's head. "Drop your weapons," the thug ordered, "or I'll blow her fucking brains out!"

"ARTURIA!" Kazuha tried to rush in and save Arturia, but the other thugs grabbed her by the arms.

"Let her go, you coward!" ordered Hiiragi. "She has nothing to do with this."

"Like how you had nothing do with that other bitch?!"

"YOU KILL THE BLOND GIRL, YOU GOT NO SHIELD LEFT TO STOP ME FROM KILLING YOU!"

"YOU DON'T THINK I'LL DO IT!"

Hiiragi glared at the thug who held Arturia hostage. Then his face turned from anger to fear and he submitted, dropping his Volt Weapons to the ground and holding his hands in a—

*BANG*

"AHHHHHHH!" Hiiragi fell to ground, holding his leg in pain, which had a bullet hole in it. Looking up, he saw the lead thug standing over her...smiling...with smoke coming out of his gun in his hand...and blood running down his nose. "Why are you crying, Pandora-sama?" teased the lead thug. "I thought Pandora couldn't die from little injuries!"

*BANG*

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

The leader shot Hiiragi in the other leg.

"HIIRAGI!" cried Arturia.

"THAT'S ENOUGH~DE ARIMASU!" cried Ra's.

"SHUT UP! STAY BACK!" The lead thug pointed his gun the Tibetan boy. "OR YOU'RE NEXT!"

"STOP IT!"

The teens and thugs turned to Kazuha, who was now getting angry.

"What'd you fucking say?" the thug leader asked as he pointed his gun to the blue-haired girl.

"...I...SAID...STOP IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!"
