Fuuko raced as fast as she could towards school past the rest of the dreary high school students who looked like the wished they had a day off or it was the weekend already.

No this sunny morning Fuuko Kirisawa was not late; (for a change) she just really wanted to find her friends.

She had come up with a best idea last night. The group had not really spent much time together all at once. They had risked life and death together before and were inseparable, but now they all sort of went of with other people every now and then, and hardly together all at once.

That, and Mi-chan often found an excuse not to come, Yanagi had 'family' affairs and was spending a little less time with them. Koganai who lived with Recca was in Junior high so he spent most of his time with his own friends. Domon, even Domon seemed to be busy helping his mother with the flower store so much that the regular group had been left to simple Fuuko and Recca.

Fuuko had her own female friends at school also, but she shared most of her classes with Recca anyway and lunch times were spent mostly with the usual trio.

Fuuko sighed, but today was Friday and no one had expressed any plans for the night, perhaps they could all go to the arcade, or on Saturday go to the Theme park for some fun. She was sure if she could get Yanagi to coax Mi-chan into coming then he would agree.

Recca would definitely come, Domon too, Koganai and Ganko would say yes for sure, Yanagi would come if Recca asked her too possibly, and if Yanagi asked Mi-chan there was nothing that could stop them.

Plus Recca needed to relax, he needed to know that his Hime and him were just fine!

"heh heh. This is my best idea yet!" she declared out loud.

"An Idea?" asked a sarcastic voice. Fuuko stopped dead in her foot steps as she recognized the voice behind her. She immediately felt her heart stop. She immediately composed herself not allowing him to see her surpise. She spun around with her hands on her hips and pointed her finger at him.

"Mi-chan!? Don't you know that it's rude to come up behind some one!?" she said exasperated.

"You were the one who walked in front of me Monkey." He said with that arrogant tone as usual. He then ran his hand through some of his hair that had gone a little astray.

Fuuko paused for just a moment. She then berated herself in her head. She refused to acknowledge that she was very attracted to this man, and especially right in front of him. She had to remain the same old cheery tomboy Fuuko.

Especially in front of him.

"Yeah well, I had this idea, that all of the Hokage could go out tonight or tomorrow. You know as the old Hokage group you know?" she found herself blabbering a little and mentally slapping herself.

"I believe I have prior engagements." He answered and walked passed the one he called monkey with out another thought, he did not even know why he spoke to her at the time. She just happened to be in his way.

He did respect her fighting ability, but when the Hokage unofficially disbanded after the tournament he was the first to stop paying any attention to the group.

But Fuuko was the one who seemed to still talk to him when ever they passed each other. Oh besides Yanagi of course... but that was different.

Fuuko fumed. That arrogant jerk, she huffed, she was going to have to resort to other means to get him to come. She put her hands on her hips and shouted out to him to make sure everyone could hear.

"Yanagi will be there! I'm sure she would want you to come!" Fuuko announced out loud. Everyone suddenly looked their way.

Mikagami paused a little slightly embarrassed. He still did not turn to her however.

"We'll talk later." He said a bit over serious that made Fuuko wonder what she had said that would make him lose his cool like that and go so serious.

"ah! Mi-chan! Wait a second!" she called about but he lost himself in the morning school crowd. Fuuko's brow creased a little not knowing why he was so annoyed.

"Oi! Fuuko!" called a voice. Fuuko turned around immediately as she saw Recca not too far behind her with Domon as well who was chasing Recca for some unknown reason.

"Ah! Guys I have the best idea!" she said excitedly. But as she said that, she noticed that one member of their group was missing. again.

"Yanagi? Where is she?" asked Fuuko.

Recca scribbled mindless nothingness on his school book.

The teacher was speaking, but nothing was getting absorbed, he just could not concentrate. He had not seen his Hime' in about two days, and when he did she was busy doing something for school or some family thing. Was he bothering her? He did not know what to do.

Well at least today was Friday and they usually hung out after school on a Friday, and Fuuko had that idea to go to the amusement park tomorrow. He could not help but laugh on the inside. The last time they went there they destroyed the house of Mirrors.

Stupid Mikagami, it was all his fault anyway, stealing his Hime' away from him that day.

He looked over to the table next to him only to be flicked by it's occupant.

"Stop copying my work," she hissed. Fuuko did not have a problem with school work, but Recca seemed to always drift off that he ended up always having to copy hers.

"But I have not been listening!" he hissed back.

"Well that's not my fault!" she returned. They both got two chalk pieces flicked at them.

"When you two are ready to listen." the teacher said slightly annoyed but not surprised.

Recca slumped in his chair. Agh, what was wrong with his Hime? And why was she avoiding him??

Perhaps he would find out after school. _____

Fuuko frowned annoyed, thank Recca for getting me in trouble again, I'll probably get detention AGAIN for this afternoon! It's a Friday for heaven's sake.

But she could not completely be annoyed with him, she knew exactly what was going on in Recca's mind right now and it would be HIME HIME HIME HIME.

She looked down at her notes for a while and realized she too could not concentrate, she hoped the teacher would not pick on her for a question because she simply was not listening.

Why was Mi-chan so agitated when she had said something about Yanagi? Was something wrong? Why had Yanagi been avoiding them? New friends perhaps?

Yanagi.

Mi-chan.

Yanagi.

Mi-chan.

...Ah.......

Fuuko's deductive mind tried to find a solution to her problem.

Yanagi. Mi-chan.

Her brow creased ever further.

She almost broke her pencil in the dismay of her conclusion.

No WAY!

Yanagi AND Mi-chan.

****

"What's the matter Yanagi~~~~"

"You're missing out on the mov~~~~"

"Oh, who's that Yanagi?"

"It's my dad, I have to go now ok? I'll see you at school tomorrow."

****

Fuuko recalled the voices back on the phone.

Fuuko was not stupid. Anyone who saw her fight Gashakura and Mikoto would know that for sure. She specialized in figuring people out and how to use it against them. This skill was not lost upon her even on normal people.

Mi-chan as smart and arrogant as he was had showed her that he was agitated when Yanagi was mentioned.

Yanagi seemed to be avoiding them and that voice, that voice was way too. uh.... sexy sounding to be her dad, and it sounded, when thought about, a lot like Mi-chan.

Fuuko's face paled.

She prayed that she was wrong, it was all going out on a limb believing this. There was no way Yanagi would get involved with Mi-chan right??

Fuuko massaged her head from thinking too much because she came to one realization.

This was Mikagami Tokiya we were talking about here, the guy every girl, including herself would at some time admit was definitely drool worthy, everything from his voice, to his beautiful hair to his calm demeanor would make any girl stare or want.

And Yanagi was no exception. Occasionally the two would talk of Mikagami like all girl's did sometimes. Even if Fuuko always made it out as a joke.

Fuuko looked slowly at Recca. She was worried, she knew this sounded really far fetched, but if she was right.

....... Recca.

Fuuko had a new reason for this amusement park think tomorrow, and she would make sure both Yanagi and Mi-chan were there.

She did not want to bring the issue up to Recca with out anything to back her up, she could be completely wrong which she most probably was. But still she wanted to make sure first.

She smirked.

This would be a little bit fun, something different for a change.

Time for Fuuko Investigations!

........ but did she really... want to know the truth?

_____________

"aahhhh.." Recca sighed heavily as he sat bored during detention after school.

That stupid Fuuko, she's meant to be here with me in detention too. Yeah so what if she's got the best math score in class and that she said she had to finish her beloved Math homework for him before the day was out.

SMART ARSE.

"Alright! Everyone out! I don't wanna see your sorry hides next Friday!" The teacher who got Friday detention was always a hard case.

Recca groaned heavily as he lifted himself off the chair. He put his bag over his shoulder, and walked out of school, he saw a figure in the distance waving at him. He smiled, his enthusiasm had returned.

Ofcourse she'd wait for him. Friday was their day together. They used to go out and do things together, go to the movies, go visit the abandoned warehouse and play with fire works or spend time with their friends. But that had not been happening recently, what was wrong with her? What was wrong with him? He had lost all this enthusiasm, but now that she was here he_

"Recca! Hurry up! Let's go to the arcade!"

Recca's enthusiasm dropped a notch.

"Fuuko. what are you doing here?" he asked a little surprised. Fuuko looked at him blankly.

"Eh? I always wait for you after Friday detention, it's Friday! We used to always go out on Friday, where's Domon? Let's go get Yanagi I heard the new arcade shop opened near the cinemas this week, let's go!" Fuuko said enthusiastically and grabbed his sleeve and pulled him along.

"Hime? Where is she?" he asked.

Fuuko paused heavily, he was right, usually she would wait after Friday detention with her or for the both of them.

"Recca." Fuuko did not know what to say as she saw Recca's usually happy attitude go sour when he saw her instead of Yanagi.

She thought about what she had thought about today and perhaps she should tell him. Yanagi was not here and Mi-chan's out burst about Yanagi. and the movies.

Should she put Recca out of his misery?

"Recca-kun!" called a voice. The two turned around immediately towards the sound of her voice.

The Hazel haired princess hurried down the path towards them. Recca immediately smiled.

"Hime!" he waved.

Fuuko beamed a smile, Recca was happy now so there was no need for her to worry and Yanagi was here as planned.

Her smile suddenly dropped as another figure followed behind Yanagi to meet them. What was he doing here, with her?

"......Mi-chan."
