"Oy! I'm Hanabishi Recca! My Hime's ninja!"

*What the--? *

Again he felt the tugging sensation pull at him.

Yukiko hesitated, but then kept walking, feeling still the cold, suspicious eyes of a certain person following her.

*Sou ka, * she thought *Hanabishi. Hanabishi Recca. *

*******

Flashback

Yukiko stood in the center of the dark room, blood dripping from her various wounds.

*Why? Why can't I hurt him?!*

"Chikuso!" She slammed her fist into the floor.

"Isn't it obvious? Do not expect a flame master to be injured by his own element."

She stared at his retreating back.

"KUREI!"

"If you seek answers, go find Hanabishi Recca. Your past does not concern me."

*Hanabishi*

End of flashback

"Ohayo! Yukiko-chan!"

She turned around and spotted Yanagi running up to her.

"Ohayo Yanagi-chan, you're early."

Yanagi smiled at her. "So are you! I didn't know you walked the same way, let's walk to school together."

"Ano, but what about your boyfriend?"

Yanagi blushed. "He usually comes later and meets me at school. Don't worry, he'll find me!" She smiled brightly and they began walking.

*

"Hey check it out," a guy whispered from behind. "It's Sakoshita and that Inokuchi new girl."

"And she doesn't have that geeky ninja kid with her," another added.

*2 guys, they're coming. *

"Hey, why don't you come with us girly." One of the guys grabbed Yanagi's arm.

=Thunk thunk thunkthunkthunk=

Five Kunais were thrown, pinning the guy to the wall.

"I would leave her alone if I were you."

Yukiko stood, in her hand were five more daggers.

*I had this sudden urge to protect her, somehow I feel connected to her. Do I know this girl? *

Yanagi glanced at them nervously; they stood, staring at each other. Yukiko turned.

"Let's go Yanagi-chan."

Yanagi shook off her shocked expression and followed her.

"Ano, arigato. I didn't know you could fight!"

Yukiko gave her a smile and continued walking. "I'm interested in that ninja stuff." She gave a slight laugh. "You must think I'm pretty weird."

"Ara? Not at all! Recca-kun is too!"

"Sou ka" was all she said.

*

Across the street, Fuko watched in awe.

"Wow," she said to herself. "She's really good. No wonder I thought her spirit resembled Recca's."

**

*So, she does fight. * Mikagami thought to himself as he headed for the school.

**

"HIIIIME!!!" Recca shouted out his usual greeting.

"Recca-kun!" Yanagi replied waving.

"You came later then me today, I was just going to go look for you!"

"Ano, Recca-kun, I was walking with Yukiko-chan."

"Ohayo," said Yukiko, though her eyes narrowed slightly.

Recca didn't seem to notice and yelled a loud "Ohayo!" He turned back to Yanagi, feeling again that same magnetic pull towards the other girl. "I'll walk you to class, hime." The bell rang.

"Oh no! That's ok Recca-kun! Your class is at the other end of the school! You'll be late!" she said running. "Yukiko-chan!"

"Ha, hai. Coming."

She took a quick look at Recca before she left to catch up with Yanagi.

*Damn him. Why do I keep feeling wanting to follow him? *

"Oy Hime! Don't forget about the party today!" Recca yelled after her.

***

"Haaaaaaaaa? But, but, it was one minute," Yanagi whined.

The moment they had entered the classroom, the sensei had thrown them out for being late; now they were standing outside in the halls.

*Hmmm. What party? * She wondered. *Oh right! That party! Another celebration for winning the UBS they had said. * She laughed to herself. *Just another excuse. Maybe Yukiko-chan would like to come too. *

"Ano, we're having a party after school at Recca-kun's house. Would you like to come?"

"Sure, I'd be glad to. Thanks for the invitation."

Yanagi smiled.

*Recca. *

***

After school was out, they headed to the Hanabishi's house. Just outside the door, they could already hear the loud noise. They were just about to knock when Kagerou opened it.

"Yanagi-chan! Everybody is already here! Oh, hello."

Yukiko bowed. "It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Inokuchi Yukiko." "This is Kagerou-san!" Yanagi introduced.

"Come in." She moved aside to let the girls in. Yukiko brushed her arm when she walked by. The cursed barrier around Kagerou activated, but only briefly.

*Masaka! *

TBC! (Maybe =o=;;)
