DISCALMER: I don't own Flame of Recca

A NEW BEGINNING CHAP 3- Friend or Foe?

Kagerou woke up early the next morning as usual, to wake up Shigeo, and Recca. Recca, who was sleeping soundly as usual did not wake up until 5 minutes before everyone came to pick him up.

"Recca hurry up!!!!" she could hear Fuuko starting to get irritated. The daily fighting routine had began once again (sigh)

After the kids left for school, Kurei, and Koganei left to go apply Kaoru into a school. Then she felt the presence of someone else awake in the house. It couldn't be Shigeo because he was outside making the fireworks. She walked into the family room, and saw a girl sitting by the window, looking at the sky. Kagerou wasn't sure who she was for a minute. She got closer, and the girl turned around. She look familiar, then she remembered that it was Nae, the girl Yanagi had found in the middle of the street the day before.

"You must be Nae-san. I'm Kagerou." Kagerou said

"Nice to meet you. Actually, I know who you are but how did I get here??" she had a puzzeled expression on her face.

"Yanagi-chan found you unconscious on the street."

"The healing girl??"

"You know about her powers??"

"Yes, I actually came to Nagogiri to look for Team Hokage. I have something to tell them, and it might be something dangerous."

"Dangerous??"

"Yes. It might be hard for them to accept after what they went through."

Kagerou didn't know what to say. She was also confused at what the girl was trying to say.

"By the way, Kagerou-san, how did you know my name?" Nae asked confused over the fact that Kagerou knew her name, when they had never spoken to eachother before.

"Oh, Kaoru-kun, and Kurei told us last night when they saw you, they recognized you."

"So they did come back from the past." Nae muttered but Kagerou had heard what she had said.

"How did you know??" Kagerou was shocked that even though she was part of the Uruha, that she knew about Kurei, and Kaoru going into the past. How could she have found out? Was she an enemy?

"I did some research, and Raiha told me."

"Raiha?? Raiha, one of the Jyushinshuu? You know where Raiha is??"

"No, but he knows I am here. He was the one who told me to come here. He wanted to come as well, but he said he would search for Kurei. Since we have our madougus back, he figured he was probably back from the past. Everything that you guys have been though, Raiha told me."

"Wait, did you just say you have your madougu back?? How?? Madougus no longer exsist in this lifetime. The Hokage has ended."

"Well, that is gonna turn into a really long story, and I don't know where to begin or how to tell it. Hey I got an idea, let's go into town!!"

"What?? Why??"

"Well, I need to get some clothes since I have none. All my belonging were burned in a fire that was caused by someone, which I will explain to you later. It's because of the fire that I was unconscious. I had been wandering around looking for you guys for 3 whole days, with no food, or sleep."

"I'm so sorry to hear that." Kagerou said feeling sorry for the poor girl.

"Don't be. I'm alright, and I found you guys. In the end it all turned out all right."

"Alright, let's go. Maybe you can tell me a little about yourself considering you know a lot about me, but I know nothing about you. Like, what's your fullname?? Or what madougu do you use??"

"Mizukami Nae is my name, and the madougu I use is the madougu "SUI"

"The madougu that produces water?? I don't know much about it, but that is a powerful madougu from what I've heard."

"It is...and a great fighting partner."

"Well, let's go, and you can start telling me your story."

*******************************************************************

"Hello may I help you??" The lady in the office asked Kurei, and Koganei with a smile.

"Yes, I want to apply my brother for this school again. His name is Kaoru Koganei. I'm sure his file is still here." Kurei said in a respective manner.

They had to write a bunch of files, and after writing about 10 forms, Koganei was enrolled into the school again. He could go back anytime he wanted.

Koganei, and Kurei walked out of the office, when someone almost as big as Domon was walking by. He didn't look like a Jr. High student. When he saw Koganei he yelled out his name, and ran towards him.

"Koganei!!!! Is that you??" It was Hiroya Sano, his friend

"Hey Hiroya!!! How you been??" Koganei shouted towards Hiroya showing his brilliant fanged teeth in his smile. He was so happy to be back.

"I've been good. So you've come back??" Hiroya asked

"Yeah, I don't know when I'll be starting, but I am coming back to the school. Hey, but do me a favor, and don't tell anyone. I wanna surprise them." He said giving a mischevious grin.

"Alright. I guess I'll see ya later you little punk!!!!" Hiroya gave a nice big smile, and walks away.

"An old friend??" Kurei asked as Hiroya walked away out of sight.

"Yup!!!" Koganei smiled at him with a nice big happy grin, which Kurei returned with a smile.

*************************************************************************

"Oji-san, we're home" Koganei yelled towards that shed where Shigeo makes the fireworks. Kurei was right behind him walking slowly.

"Ou, Kaoru!! How did the application go?? All done??" Shigeo asked.

"Yup, all done. I can go back whenever I want!!!!"

"That's great. Wow, look at the time, it's almost noon. Let's have some lunch. What do ya want?? I'll cook since Kagerou's out in town with that girl, Recca brought home last night."

"She went out with Nae? Why?"

"I don't know. I think the girl needed some clothes."
