When Henry arrived at the meeting, everyone had arrived already, except Ryo. It figures, he thought, he usually is late anyways. Just his style to attract desperate girls without boyfriends by coming late. It doesn't matter now thought, he thought taking a seat beside Rika, the meeting is starting.

"Order," said Takato, standing up with his hand holding Jeri's. Everyone fell silent, except for Rika, who began to chuckle.

"And what exactly is so funny?" Takato asked, not understanding the joke.

"Oh, nothing," answered Rika between laughs, "I was just imagining you as a judge, wearing those stupid goggles on your head during a case."

At this remark, everyone started to laugh, except Takato, who turned a bright red. And Rika laughed so hard, she started walking backwards. As she did, she tripped on a rock, and fell backwards. But she never hit the ground. She fell in Ryo's arms, who had been nice enough to catch her. When this happened, everyone, including the red Takato, started laughing harder.

"You alright Rika?" Ryo asked politely, with a worried look.

Why does he have to be so nice to me? Wondered Rika to herself.

"Fine. Now help me up," she answered, as he helped her up to her feet and sat back down with the group, although laughs were still herd.

"I thought wildcats always landed on their feet. I guess I was wrong," he remarked, regaining his cool, with a smirking smile, but still sweet.

Rika turned to look at him, with a look that showed pure annoyance, "First thing, never help me or touch me again Second thing, shut up so we can start this meeting and I can go home."

"But I thought you were." started Ryo, but he was interrupted.

"Is there a problem Ryo? Because I believe I made it clear for you to shut up so we can start this dumb meeting. Are you sure you understand English? Or do you need me to translate in Japanese?" she said, scaring Ryo, although he didn't show it. What's her problem? he thought not answering her back and disturb the silence.

"Ok, let's start the meeting," Takato said, "We'll start with Kazu and Kenta. What happened today?"

"Well," started Kenta, "We were at this video-arcade, playing some air- hockey, when this girl comes up to us. She challenges Kazu to a game, and they play. Five minutes later, she had beaten Kazu seven nothing. Kazu and start to fighting about air-hockey for, like, five seconds and when we look back she's gone. Isn't that right Kazu?"

"Uhhhhh," Kazu replied, a smug look on his face.

So the others told what they did that afternoon. Everyone's afternoon resembled everyone else's, except for Rika's and Ryo's. Because everyone met someone this afternoon, but they disappeared before they could ask them their name. Only Henry knew he had met a girl named Taiya, who was his sensei's granddaughter.

"Well, what did Taiya look like Henry?" Rika asked him, who did not respond when he looked at her. She turned to Jeri, but it was the same with her, and everyone else, except Ryo. She could tell they were petrified, because Ryo started to wave his hand in front of Henry's face, but he didn't wake up. So, to snap everyone out of it, Rika bent over and, regretting it afterwards, kissed Henry on the mouth. Happily, it did, and everyone was surprised Rika would take such drastic measures. Henry blushed a deep red, once everyone had snapped out of it. But at that moment, a sudden white rage awoke in Ryo, and he became jealous of Henry for being Rika's confident. It's not fair, he thought, it's just not fair. As Ryo argued with himself, he looked down at his watch. It was almost six. He had to be at the airport an hour ago. His dad was so gonna kill him.

"Sorry guys," he said, "but I'm expected elsewhere."

"Oh really," said Jeri, "And where would that be?"

"The airport."

"Why the airport?"

"I don't have to tell you!"

"RYO!" everyone screamed, "Tell us, NOW!"

"Ok, I'm sorry. Well this guest from out of town is staying with me and I have to go pick her up at the airport. Now can I go, I'm already late?" he demanded, his face flushed, his cerulean eyes holding back anger.

"Oh my God!" screamed Jeri hysterically, "I figured it out!"

At that point, everyone was looking at Jeri strangely, with looks like: "What?" "If you know, then spit it out already!" "You're crazy!" and "Huh?"

"Okay well, here it goes. Everyone met a girl this afternoon, apart from Rika and Ryo. But Ryo is picking up a girl who is going to be staying with him. No one knows her name, except Henry. The only person who knows nothing about Taiya is Rika, and I know why," she explained.

"So, you're saying we all met Taiya this afternoon?" asked Kazu.

"Yep."

"But why didn't I meet Taiya yet?" asked Rika, her lavender eyes confused.

"See for yourself," Jeri replied, pointing towards a bench, under a tree.

Rika turned around, and to her surprise, a girl was sitting there, writing in a book. So Rika, feeling very curious, walked up to her. When she was two meters away, the girl closed her book, and looked up and Rika was mortified at the sight.

"Ahh," the girl said, "The great Rika Nonaka has come to see me. Tell me, what is your question?"

While the girl spoke, Rika was taking in what she saw. The girl looked exactly like her! Same height, same features, except, she had black hair instead of red. She looked exactly like her, even down to the way she smiled. When the girl finished speaking Rika asked,

"Is your name Taiya?"

"Yes, Taiya Lee to be more precise."

"What are you doing here?"

"Just waiting for your emergency meeting to end, so I can get some sleep."

"Are you staying with Ryo Akiyama?"

"Yes, I'm also going to his school. Why, is there a problem?"

Rika re-said Taiya's answers in her head. She knew about the meeting, and everyone's name. Were they that obvious? Suddenly, the girl laughed. That also scared Rika.

"You look like you've seen a ghost. Do you want me to leave?" she asked, getting up from the bench. At this point, Rika snapped out of it.

"No way, I was just a little freaked out. Come and join our meeting, everyone dying to meet you."

So the two girls walked towards the others, but before reaching them, Taiya stopped Rika.

"Here, but do not open it now. Only open it when you are alone," Taiya said, handing Rika a book.

When Rika touched the book, a chill went through her spine. The cover of the book was an icy blue, and a picture of a frozen sword was engraved. She was amazed at how the book was light and heavy at the same time. I wonder why, she thought as they continued towards the group.

So when they arrived, Taiya presented herself properly to everyone. Afterwards, everyone asked a million and one questions, because Kazu and Kenta kept asking the same questions, which she answered with pleasure. After about an hour of this, Ryo said it was time for them to go, for he claimed to see Taiya falling asleep, and she had spent all day on her feet. So, both of them got up, and started walking towards the park gate. But before they walked ten feet, Taiya turned to Ryo and said, "But, I."

"Tomorrow," he said, they're all coming over tomorrow and you can tell them then."

So with a look of obedience on her face, she said a final goodbye to everyone and followed Ryo home. When they got there, Ryo showed her around his house and made her something to eat. As Ryo did this, Taiya went and unpacked her stuff from her bags. Once she finished, and she checked to see if Ryo was still cooking, she went into his room.

It was very neat for a boy's room. Trophies on polished shelves, books placed neatly in a bookshelf, bed folded nicely and not a speck of dust anywhere. But Taiya wasn't interested in those things, but something that was hidden away. She walked toward the closet, and gingerly opened it, knowing that it squeaked. She then pushed away a bunch of clothes on hangers, and picked up an object wrapped in a bed sheet. She closed the closet, sat on Ryo's bed and unfolded the package.

The object was Ryo's sword, but something was wrong. It was dull and rusted around the edges. But as Taiya was about to unfold the rest, a voice behind her said,

"What are you doing with my sword?" he asked, clearly afraid that she would use it against him.

"Nothing.yet," she answered, as she revealed the sword. She gasped at the sight. The sword was broken in half from the middle. Where it was cut, the metal was molten and deformed.

"What did you do to it?" she asked, with a look of hatred in her lavender eyes, so identical to Rika's. She looked like she would kill the person who had done such a cruel action to such a beautiful piece of work.

"I.I can't tell you," he answered with difficulty, grabbing his sword from her and putting it back into his closet, hidden away from all.

Taiya got up as he did this, "Then it shall forever be broken."

And with that she left him for her new room, and muttered not a sound as she stayed in her room all night.
