I've a ton of room for improvement aniwae and help is greatly needed! Well, I better stop talking now or I'll never stoP~~ Hope you like it!

Disclaimer: All Flame of Rekka characters are not mine. Not now not ever. Only the new gang and Onnazuki. So please don't sue. I'm only 13, I can have many more happy years of life without entering a courtroom and having a bad record. So I repeat, All Flame of Rekka characters are not mine. Not now not ever.

P.S. Hokage Gokai == Hokage Lust

        Onnazuki == Lustful Man

       And I don't even knoe whether it's proper Japanese grammer.

~Fuuko~

"Ow… Itai…" I mumble vaguely as I open my eyes slowly. My head sure was hurting and injuries on my back didn't help.

It took kinda a while before I took in my surroundings.

Midnight moon, forest, cold hard ground, delicious smell of something cooking, a nice piece of cloth over me—quite comfy actually.

Hang on. The morning's happenings start to sink in and if I'm not wrong, I should be at the Mountain Valley. What's a cloth doing over me?

"Konnichiwa Fuuko-san!"

I jump up about ten feet in the air and lash around only to see a sweatdropping Raiha holding some fish and fruit (!).

"Raiha?!"

"Hai!"

I gape at him, feeling rather dumb. What's going on??

As though reading my thoughts, he explained, "Well I was passing by when I saw you falling down that cliff so I came over to check out what happened and it turned out you were knocked out so I just took care of your injuries. Want supper?" He smiles a chibi face.

Around, my arm and leg, some bandages wrapped, rather clumsily, around injuries formed due to that fight.

I watch as he used some rocks as plates and put down the fruits before going off to cook the fish.

Sure would be nicer if it were Mikagami… Oh damn it! Stop thinking about that fridge guy!

"I'll lead you back to the Hokage later, that is, if you don't need help?"

"Hai Raiha-san! I haven't a sense of direction!"

"Then that's lucky for you, cause I've never gotten lost!"

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

~Mikagami~

No answer. Again.

I slam the phone angrily back onto its place.

Geez, that monkey sure sleeps early.

And if it weren't for that damn assignment I had to inform her about, I wouldn't half-care about her.

…

…

…But… what if she isn't back yet? What if she's trapped in the Mountain Valley?

Who cares. I know I don't.

I should call the Hokage and check it out.

Then ask them to pass the message.

If she is trapped, what's she going to do? Maybe I should've gone today.

KUSO!!!

I gotta go to bed. Damn… I'll just drop by her place tomorrow morning…

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

"Okay, I thought you said you never got lost?" Fuuko asked, panting.

"Well… there's a first for everything right…?" Raiha answered sheepishly.

*HUGE sweatdrop appears on Fuuko's head*

"We've been walking for the past 5 hours!!!"

"Huh. Sorry… hehe…"

"This is not good!!!"

Raiha totally ignored Fuuko as he pushed aside a tree branch.

"There it is!!!"

"There what is?! A map??!!" (Okay, so, Fuuko-sama is pissed)

"No… Civilization." Raiha grins. "I told you I never got lost before!"

"Then what was that just now!?"

Without waiting for an answer, Fuuko dashed off towards the towering buildings.

"Hey! Wait for me!"

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

(Ok, I knoe the top part of this story kinda crapped. Sorri…. Bear with me and that writer's block please. Arigatou...)

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

"Why aren't we reaching it?!!" Fuuko cried out, exasperated.

The buildings seemed not too far away, but somehow Fuuko and Raiha couldn't reach it. And all of a sudden, Fuuko felt a slight pang of worry. "We…We've  been walking towards it for an hour now. Raiha, what's happening?"

 "We seem… quite trapped in this place."

"NANI??!!"

"It appears to be an enchanted forest or something. We can't get out. But we might be able to… By going back to the top of the mountain where you started. One point of that mountain is the center of this power… and if we break it, we're free." Raiha started off towards the mountain, amazingly squeezing through thick and tall undergrowths.

"Hey! Wait for me!" Raiha grabbed hold of Fuuko's hand and started running towards the mountain.

Something's up. Raiha seems less carefree than usual. Oh damn it. Why're we stuck in here??!!

… I should've sensed it. Damn. Now I can only do what it takes to get Fuuko out of here…

Immediately.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

~Fuuko~

Nearing the mountain top. Just so close…

"WHAM!!"

"HEY! THAT HURT, YOU DAMN SEA MONKEY!"

I freeze. That's Domon!

"SHUT UP YOU GORILLA! I HIT INTO SOMETHING!" Rekka's voice.

"Oh no, Rekka-kun, daijoubu desu ka???" Yanagi, too obviously.

"Will you people stop argueing?!" Koganei?

"…Let's just concentrate on what's important?" Kage Houshi.

"Ohiyo!!" I dash out of the bush I kinda got stuck in. With clumsy gropes at Raiha's hand.

"Fuuko!! You're all right!" They(Rekka, Yanagi, Domon, Koganei)shout in one voice. Suddenly, all attention's directed on me. I grin and wave.

"Sure I'm fine!" I catch sight of Mikagami. Butterflies flew in my stomach. "Hello Mi-chan! Why are you here??"

"What say coz he's the one who told us you haven't gotten back?!"

More butterflies.

But Mikagami didn't reply. He merely stared at me. Actually, Raiha and I. Wait. It's something else. Raiha's grasp on my hand.

I release Raiha's hand immediately. It's time to change the subject.

"But why are you here??"

"To save you, Fuuko-chan!" Domon started

"That only means…" Raiha cut in. "We're all trapped in here."

"NANI!!!!!"

"I heard rumours about this place being owned by not Koganei's ex-rivals. It was by some rejected members of---"

The cold ground shuddered under our feet. (Domon: Earthquake!") All of a sudden, explosives burst out from everywhere!

I felt my body being pushed down by someone. I was protected, but whoever's on me might not be so lucky.

Damn! I feel so useless!

Just as quickly as it had come, the explosives died out.

A short menacing laugh was heard.

I looked up as Mikagami became the first in view. His back was scratched; in fact everyone was slightly hurt; and bleeding. He protected me! Raiha was standing up and I looked towards his gaze.

~Rekka~

A shadow revealing itself fast was standing at a slight cliff above us.

"Who are you? What do you want?" He asked, brow furrowed.

"YEAH! AND WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY HURTING MY HIME!"

The shadow came into full view. A sneering perverted grin, spiked brown hair and dark blue eyes with a tall and lean figure introduced the man who made his entrance. Probably about 27, 30 years old.

He grinned even wider.

"I am Onnazuki. We are Hokage Gokai."

Hokage Gokai?! What the hell is that?!

"And we want…" He raised a leering finger at Hime. Hime's eyes grew wide with fear.

Hah. He's not getting her. Not with me around anyway.

"THAT'S WHAT YOU THINK!"

The damned grin grew wider. Shit him! Damn, I'd love to ram these fists of mine into his grinning face. Flames were already oozing out of them glaringly.

"And…" His finger moved over carelessly towards his other target.

Fuuko!
