Hey, guys, sorry for the long wait. I have just been super busy with my other stories. Anyway, this is an extra chapter telling how Chkane and Hiroshi met when they were six years old. I hope you like it. Disclaimer: I own nothing.

Extra: Destined Meeting

Seventeen years ago, at a playground

"If you need anything, just come and get me, Chikane." the black haired woman said to her six year old daughter.

"Okay, Mama." Chikane replied. "Can I go and play now?" she asked, anticipation shining in her black eyes.

"Of course."

"Whoo!" the little girl cheered as she turned around and rushed off to play.

The woman giggled from her daughter's energy.

"I wonder what I should play on first." Chikane thought aloud as she walked through the playground. "The swings or the maybe the slide?"

Then, out of the corner of her eye, the six year old saw two boys around her age. They were standing in front of another boy, who also looked her age. The thing that Chikane immediately noticed about him was his red hair that was styled to look like wolf ears.

'What an interesting hair style.' the black haired girl thought to herself.

Then she saw that the red headed boy had dirt on his clothes and some scrapes and bruises. She even saw tears coming out of his brown eyes.

'Is he being bullied?!' Chikane mentally exclaimed.

With these thoughts in mind, the six year old ran towards the boys.

"What do you think you're doing?!" she yelled as she stepped in front of the red headed boy, getting in-between him and the other two. "Why are you picking on him?!"

"Wha..." the first boy started to say, taken aback by the cute girl's sudden appearance. "Who are you?!"

"That doesn't matter." Chikane replied, hands on her hips. "What does matter is that you're being mean to him for no reason."

"Why do you care?" the second boy asked.

"I care because..." the black haired girl started to say. "Because bullying someone just for the fun of it is something I can never allow!" she declared, her face filled with determination.

The boy behind her stared at the back of the girl in front of him with wide eyes.

"Whatever." the first boy scoffed. "What are you going to about it?" he questioned.

Chikane smirked. "It looks like I'm going to have to teach you guys a lesson." she said, smacking her fist in her palm.

"I like to see you try." the second boy dared.

"Okay, you got it." the young girl replied, her smirk widening. "But I won't be responsible for what happens to you afterwards." she warned.

One beat down later

"You better run!" Chikane shouted out to the two, crying boys as they ran away from the tough girl. She sighed, dusting off her dress. She had a few scrapes and bruises, but she was okay. "Are you alright?" she asked the boy behind her.

The red headed youth flinched when she spoke to him, mostly because he was busy focusing on the girl who was able to take down two boys by herself.

"Y-Yeah..." he replied.

"Do these belong to you?" Chikane asked, holding the pair of glasses she had picked up off the ground and was now using her dress skirt to wipe the dust off of them.

"Yes." the boy confirmed.

"Here you go." the black haired girl said, gently placing the glasses on his face.

"T-Thank you..." he said appreciatively, blushing slightly.

"No problem." Chikane told him, smiling brightly at him. "Now then..." she started to say. Then her smile fell and she scowled. "What do you think you were doing?!" she yelled, pointing at him.

"Eh?!" the boy exclaimed in shock.

"Why were just standing there and letting there those jerks push you around?!" the six year old girl demanded. "Why didn't you stand up for yourself?!"

"W-What could I have done?" he stammered. "There was two of them and only one of me."

"So?" Chikane questioned, crossing her arms. "You could have at least tried to fight back and show them you're not some weakling."

'Weakling?' the red headed boy mentally repeated.

"It looks like I have no choice." the black haired girl said more to herself. "I will have to take you under my wing." she stated.

"Under your wing?" he questioned.

"Yes." Chikane confirmed, nodding her hear. "I will teach you how to handle yourself when fighting an enemy. What's your name?"

"H-Hiroshi Inaba..." the boy replied.

"Well, Hirohsi, my name is Chikane Ognio." the six year old girl introduced herself. "Nice to meet you." she said, smiling warmly at him.

Hiroshi felt his face heat up, his heart beating faster then usual. "N-Nice to meet you, too, Chikane-chan."

"No!" Chikane suddenly shouted, causing him to jump in surprise. "No '-chan', just Chikane." she told him firmly.

"O-Okay, Chikane..." the red headed boy said.

The black haired girl smiled. "Hey, do you want to play with me?" she asked.

"A-Are you sure?" Hiroshi questioned.

"Of course. Come on, Hiroshi." Chikane said, holding out her hand to him.

The six year old boy's face turned as red as his hair. Then he reached out and took the the girl's hand.

Later, into the late afternoon

"So you have a little brother and sister?" Chikane asked, sitting on a bench with the the red headed boy after they had finished playing.

"Yeah." Hiroshi replied. "My little sister, Lupa, is two years younger than me. And Haruka, my little brother, was born not too long ago." he informed. "What about you, Chikane? Do you have any siblings?" he questioned.

"I have an older brother called Kuniharu." the black haired girl said. "But everyone calls him Ogi." she added.

"What's he like?"

"Well, he looks kinda scary, and can be pretty intimidating when he wants to be. But, he's a really nice guy and a great older brother. He can be pretty protective of me sometimes, though." smiling, Chikane looked at the red headed boy. "What are your parents like, Hiroshi?" she asked.

"Oh, well..." Hiroshi paused for a moment. "I don't have any parents." he informed.

"Eh?!" the black haired girl exclaimed in disbelief. "You don't have a mama or papa?"

"Yeah, it's just me and my siblings." the six year old boy confirmed, rubbing the back of his head while smiling sadly. "But, to be honest, it doesn't really bother me..." he trailed off when he saw tears building up in the black haired girl's eyes. "Ah! Why are you crying, Chikane?!"

"B-Because it's really sad!" Chikane told him, rubbing her eyes. "I know I would be really lonely with I didn't have my Mama or Papa with me."

"But I'm not lonely." Hiroshi declared. "I have Lupa and Haruka. And the people who take of us are really nice. Plus..." he paused for a moment, grabbing the girl's hands in his. "Chikane is my friend now, so now I'm even less lonely." he added.

The black haired girl's eyes widened slightly.

"That is..." the red headed boy started to say, a light red blush spreading across his face. "If you want to be friends with me."

Chikane stared at him for a moment with an expression of surprise on her face. Then she smiled widely. "Yeah, I would love to be friends with you, Hiroshi!" she said happily, a pink blush dusting her cheeks.

Hiroshi soon smiled himself.

"Chikane!" a woman's called. "It's time to go home!"

"Aw!" the six year old girl whined. "Looks like I have to leave." she said sadly as she stood up from the bench.

"W-Wait!" the red headed boy called, standing up as well. "W-Will we see each other again?" he asked a bit shyly.

"Idiot!" Chikane yelled, surprising him. "Of course we will, we're friends now, aren't we?"

"Yeah..." Hiroshi replied quietly. "But, still..." he trailed off.

The black haired girl sighed. "I guess there's no helping it." she said more to herself. Reaching into her dress pocket, she pulled out a black dog collar. "Here, this is for you." she told him, holding it out to him.

"A dog collar?" the young boy questioned.

"It was for our dog at home..." Chikane started to say. "But now I'm giving it to you, as a symbol of our friendship." she stated. "Here, let's try it on." she said, looping the dog collar around the boy's neck and tightening it enough where it didn't choke him. "It looks good on you." she complimented. "It really suits you. Like a puppy." she giggled.

"Puppy?!" Hiroshi exclaimed.

"I'm not joking with you." the six year old girl told him.

"Chikane!" the same woman's voice called again.

"I better go now." Chikane informed.

"Chikane, before you leave, c-can you..." the six year old boy started to say, his face turning as red as his hair.

"Huh?" the black haired girl questioned.

"C-Can you let me have some of your hair?!"

"Eh?

"I-It's just that you hair is really nice and..." Hiroshi trailed off.

"Are you a weirdo?" Chikane asked, staring at him blankly.

"No, I'm a hair fetishist." the red headed boy corrected.

'What's the difference?' the black haired girl mentally questioned.

"So, can I please have a piece of your hair?" Hiroshi asked, looking a the other six year old with wide puppy dog eyes with his wolf ears bent down.

Chikane flinched from his look, blushing slightly from how cute he looked. "Fine." she sighed. "Just stop looking at me like that."

"You got it!" the young boy replied, holding up a pair of scissors he pulled out of who knows where.

"Do you always carry a pair of scissors with you?" the young girl questioned.

One quick haircut later

'It barely looks like any hair was cut at all.' Chikane thought to herself, looking at the strand of her hair that she was holding between her fingers.

"Thanks a lot, Chikane." Hiroshi said appreciatively, staring at the strand of the other six year old's hair that he had cut happily.

"Sure, no problem." the black haired girl told him, sweatdropping from his happy expression. "Well, I better go now before my Mama gets really mad." she informed.

Then, much to the young boy's surprise, she suddenly hugged him.

"Meet me here tomorrow in the afternoon, okay?" Chikane said, pulling away from him and looking at him seriously.

"O-Okay..." Hiroshi replied, his face bright red from previous act of affection.

The black haired girl smiled widely. "Bye, bye, Hiroshi!" she said as she turned away and ran off in the direction her mother was. "I'll see you tomorrow!" she called back, waving her arm as she looked back at him.

The red headed boy didn't say anything as he waved back at the young girl, his heart beating faster than usual.

Present Day, at the Inaba Detective Agency

"So that's how Inaba-san and Chikane-nee-san first met?" Kei questioned after listening to the story his boss just told him.

"Yep." Hiroshi confirmed, nodding his head. "Ever since than, we've always been together."

"And the collar you're wearing now is the same one Chikane-nee-san gave to you?" the black haired assistant asked.

"Of course." the red headed detective said. "I rarely take this off. Because..." he paused for a moment. "It's a symbol of Chikane's love for me!" he stated, grinning widely.

"As if!" Chikane yelled, punching her childhood friend in the face. "It's a symbol of our friendship, you idiot!"

'Looks like things haven't change that much in seventeen years.' Kei mentally remarked, sweatdropping from the scene.
