Ok, the 2nd chapter.
The first chapter has only been up for a a few hours. But i got home and felt like writing the next one. I have a funny feeling i'm going to hit writers block soon and i wanna finish this story soon. I'm not sure how many chapters it will be so stay tuned :)
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Flame of Recca characters (but if they sell them one day i'll take them! :P)

Yanagi walked towards school. It was a regular wednesday. Nothing unusual ever happened on a Wednesday. But that was just the way she liked it. Even Fuuko and Recca did not make a ruckus on a Wednesday because Fuuko did athletics that lunchtime. So for one school day her Recca-kun would be safe.
"RECCA! Get your butt back here right now!" screeched that all too familiar voice.
Sweatdrop Yanagi usually met Recca on the way to school. Fuuko did not usually attack in the morning because she would always be a little late for school and would not have time for it. But this morning she was about 15 minutes earlier than usual.
Something was very strange about Fuuko's actions recently. It was almost like she taking some sort of anger or pain out on Recca. He was a stress reliever perhaps?
"Ah! Fuuko! Are you crazy?! It's too early in the morning!" Recca's voice could be heard as he was escaping Fuuko's wrath.
Darts went flying through the air towards him. The crowd freaked out and either scattered or hid and watched the onslaught. Fuuko's conquests had been the hot gossip at the moment. She just did not want to give it up. The stranger thing was Recca would always just get out because of his ninja tricks. He was ready for her at all times.
"A ninja must always be ready and anticipate." he would always say. Poor Fuuko would always get caught in a net or something like that and she would scream and shout till she got out.
But recently she had come a lot closer to defeating Recca in a fair fight but always eventually fell to one of two traps he had lay out for her. Things were really getting interesting now.
Fuuko flew at Recca with new conviction.
She readied her darts in her hands.
"You're mine Recca!" she exclaimed as she found a opening. He tried his best to move out the way. She was very fast. Even without her fuujin she was still a strong opponent. They had been fighting each other since they were children. Though she had never beaten him, Recca knew she had come very close on some occasions.
She struck out at him. When suddenly she found herself in a pit hole. She screeched.
"REECCCAAAA!!!" she cried out.
He held out a peace sign.
"Ninja must always anticipate and conquer!" he said with a cheesy grin.
She slowly climbed out of the hole and glared at him hard. She felt the tension her grow hard. She had never felt so... frustrated.
Recca readied to take anything on.
But... she just looked away from him and walked past him with a glare on her face.
"... I'll try again tomorrow... Recca." she said in a low serious voice.
Recca blinked twice. What the???
From anyone else he would not have been surprised with that reaction, but this was Fuuko Kirisawa he was thinking about here. Calm and serious was not part of my personality. She was the insanely happy one out of the lot of them.
"Eh? Fuuko?"
But Fuuko did not turn around she just kept walking. Yanagi looked strangely at Recca.
"Recca-kun? What happened? How come she's walking away?" she asked worried about him and Fuuko.
"I, uh dunno."
Suddenly Recca knelt on the ground for a moment.
"Recca-kun!" she gasped. He was holding his stomach a little. Apparently Fuuko landed quite a hit. Yanagi looked at it. It was quite a blow and left a mark.
"Fuuko must really want to beat you Recca-kun. She really must have something weighing on her mind..."

Mikagami sat in the library during another lunch session. Once again remaining oblivious to the amount of girls that were there because of him. If they wanted to pretend they were studying to impress him did not bother him at all. Maybe the fools might even learn something while in the library.
He suddenly noticed another figure plonk themselves in the chair in front of him on his table.
He growled a little under his breath. Just who did she think she was?!
"What are you doing monkey?!" he hissed. The purple haired freshman looked at him puzzled. He had asked that question last time she came into the library and sat near him.
"Hey, I gotta study too ya know?!" she snapped.
"Besides, you're sitting all by yourself, isn't that boring?" she asked she had a goofy grin on her face.
He just crossed his arms. Didn't this monkey get it? He did not like being disturbed during his lunch break study. No other girl in the room would dare do what she was doing right now in fear of rejection or school gossip.
Yet she cared for none of these. He could respect her for that... if it was not her the school tomboy.
"I don't know what you're doing over here monkey... go return to the zoo with the other animals." he said referring to the rest of the Hokage. He had not meant it too badly, he had said worse things to the group before. He had an arrogant tongue and even the end of the Urabotosatsujin would not change that... and its not like the Hokage team took too much offence from his attitude. Especially not Fuuko.
So it was a surprise as she got up immediately and slammed her fist on the table.
"Fine, forget it! You and your stupid pride can go to hell! Not that you have anything to be proud of anyway." she spat and picked up her things and moved over to the other side of the library.
The whole room froze at the sight of her out burst. Even Mikagami froze at her actions. Usually she would just go ballistic at him but it would mean nothing. He felt a strange chill up his spine about the whole thing.
Though he did not say anything, he did witness what had happened that morning. It was very unlike her to act so serious and calm. Why was she trying so hard to beat Recca without her Fuujin, and why everyday? Why was she acting so weird.
And why in heaven's name did he care???
He glanced over to the wild wielder's position. He never really paid much attention to the girl. Even when they were fighting together in the tournament. He still called her Fuuko-SAN when he was not calling her monkey. The only time he really even looked her way was when she was in a fight. He paused momentarily thinking about her fight against Gashakura. He had to admit, it was one of the most exciting fights he had seen ever. He wondered why he never even congratulated her on any of her fights.
She was obviously just as skilled as he was.
His brow creased, no way, that monkey could no way touch the level he was on.
The lunch bell rang and he started to pack his things. He could not help but look at Fuuko. She did not move for a while.
He really did owe her an apology. He had been a bit harsh with his words. But...
.. you and your stupid pride can go to hell...
She was right, his pride would not allow him to apologize to her. He just turned his dead the other way and walked off to class.

Fuuko sat there angrily. She had tried to get to work on her history assignment but found it difficult. She was frustrated.
She did feel bad for lashing out at Mikagami that way. He was an arrogant (gorgeous) bastard, but that was the way he always was and she was supposed to be used to it. But for some reason she had been feeling very frustrated recently. She knew a lot of the girls did not like her at school because of her tomboy attitude and her apparent 'friendship' to Mi-chan. Things were just getting really frustrating and starting to take it's toll on her. Poor Recca had to be her little punching bag to ease the stress of everything that was going on her life right now. But there was no way she was going to tell him that. She really wanted to beat him, but... her mind was else where when they fought sometimes.
She knew that when she went home no one would be there. She knew that she had been alone with no one to support her except that stupid Domon who could not see a girl's pain if it hit him with a brick. She loved the guy to death and would fight with him to the end, but he was not the one for her, he was just a little too dense for her to tolerate...
She thought of Yanagi and Recca...
She could not feel completely comfortable with them right now. They were so perfect together...
She knew there would never be anyone who would ever love her... like that...
... So why should i be happy? Why should i force myself to be happy anymore. Maybe I'm just tired of being insanely happy all the time while my own life is a wreck. I have no parents who are there for me, no family....
But a for a while I did not feel sad... things got better.
I had someone to take care... but she got taken away from me. Fuuko sighed softly she opened one of the pages in the notebook. She felt her eyes water a little as she looked at the picture of a pretty young blond girl waving at her.
"Ganko... why did they have to take you away from me, you were the only family I had left....." She shook the thought of crying away from her mind. There was no way she was going to let people at school see her cry.
She knew exactly why the authorities took her away from her.
..your parents are not home enough, being away on business trips and all, all the time, it's not a suitable home for a young girl. She'll be placed in a loving foster family. Don't worry, everything will be fine. We'll take care of her.
That was what the Children's Affair's people had said to her. Yet it did not make her feel any better. Her only family was being taken away from her. She could not bear it.
"Its not fair Ganko, why did you have leave me?
Now when I go home, the only person I can talk to at home... is myself..." she whispered.
"... it's so lonely... it's so lonely it makes me so angry..."
As she whispered that to herself she did not notice a figure near turn to leave.
