Chapter 3 Start-

"I don't have time to explain. Some emergency student council meeting starts in a few minutes. Just look for Koken Nagasawa and bring her back and keep her here until I come back!" Yuki said simply before he hung up.

"What! But-DAMN YOU YUKI!" Kyo shouted at the phone.

Kyo was now walking in town, pissed off and confused. First he was thinking about Koken and her strange speed and her sudden switch in personality. The picture of her fierce green eyes came back to him. It was a bit creepy actually.

"Stupid Yuki, giving me a really hard job…I don't even know where the damn girl lives." Kyo grumbled as he put his hands in his pocket. He looked up to the sky. It had gotten a little cloudy. He wondered if it was going to rain. But he just shrugged the thought off.

"Why am I even doing this for the dumb rat? Oh yeah. Our secrets might be revealed." Muttered Kyo grudgingly. He walked along the streets noticed a white cat walking on a nearby wall.

"Cats get around a lot. Maybe it's seen Koken and where she lives." Thought Kyo, a little ray of hope shining on what he thought of as an impossible mission.

"Hey! You think you could help me out?" Kyo called out to the cat. The cat jumped down from the wall and ran up to Kyo then stared up into his red eyes with its own blue ones. There was a short pause. Kyo started to get annoyed. Finally the cat spoke,

"Sure. What do you need?" The cat finally asked him. Kyo sighed then replied,

"I'm looking for someone. She's a human girl. She's kinnda pale. Lessee…what else…she's also skinny and has short black hair and, um, ice-like blue eyes…yeah. That should be it…. Have you seen her around?" Kyo gave the cat a bit of time to think.

"Hmmm…I think I have. If we're thinking of the same person, she goes to the docks a lot." The cat replied seeming a bit uncertain.

"The docks? Like a port with boats and warehouses? Think you could take me there?" Kyo asked, frowning slightly.

"Sure. No problem. I don't have anything better to go anyway. Follow me." The cat turned around and started to walk off. Kyo sighed then walked after the cat.

The two, Sumiko and Tohru had reached Shigure's house. Sumiko had already said goodbye and started to walk away. Tohru still didn't have any new clues to whether Sumiko was a zodiac or not so she was panicking.

"Come on Tohru! Think! You got to think of something hurry before she leaves! I can't let Yuki down!" Tohru thought.

"Hey Sumiko-kun have you ever hugged a guy?" Tohru blurted out to her friend.

"That sounds so dumb!" Tohru thought with a frown. Sumiko stared at Tohru for a while then walked back to her. Then she replied in a whisper,

"You might think this is stupid but…it's against my religion to hug people of the opposite sex." Sumiko paused for a while then flashed Tohru a sheepish smile. Tohru just stared at Sumiko with a bewildered expression.

"Against your religion! I—you---what's your religion?" Tohru asked looking and sounding very, very confused. Sumiko shook her head then replied,

"I am forbidden to tell. That part is very secret. Only me and my family members practice this religion." Sumiko put her finger on her lips and made an 'Shhhhh' motion.

"Don't tell anyone. I told you this information because I trust you. You're a good girl Tohru-kun. And I expect you will also keep this secret from Hana-kun and Uo-kun." Sumiko whispered. Sumiko then thrust her pinky finger at Tohru.

"Pinky-swear!" Sumiko ordered. Tohru gulped and hesitantly rung her pinky finger around Sumiko's. Sumiko seemed very pleased. She waved goodbye to Tohru as she stared to walk away again. How was Tohru going to tell Yuki what she found out about Sumiko now? She couldn't just betray Sumiko.

Kyo and the cat had been walking for an hour now and Kyo was getting impatient. And to make matters worse, the sky was getting even darker and this area of the port looked like some sort of place where gang meetings were held. The warehouses in this area had broken windows; the walls were rusted and indented in many different areas. The structures also looked like they were going to fall apart any minute. Big crates were stacked up in the most disorganized way.

"This is just great…Yuki's gonna kill me…no! I'll kill him! I know I will beat him one day!" Just then something flew out of the building in front of him with a large crashing sound and pieces of glass flew everywhere. The white cat dashed away but Kyo didn't seem to notice.

"What the hell is going on?" Kyo exclaimed as he staggered back a bit. He looked at the old worn out warehouse in front of him. Its windows were boarded and it was covered in rust. He saw the hole in the window where the man had flew out of. He walked up the window and saw a hidden fighting arena! It betrayed its outer shell. It looked so well kept. The concrete walls were thoroughly polished and the metal beams that supported the roof didn't show the slightest bit of age.

"Typhoon looses! We have a new champion!" A huge, muscular man shouted. This man's muscles were huge and seemed to be a whole new organism that just happened to attach itself to him. The smallest part of his body was his head.

The champion, Kyo guessed, was a boy, about his age, standing near the broken window. The boy was wearing a newspaper boy hat, which was tilted in an angle the shadow is cast covered his face. A long, thick gray cloak concealed his body; he wore big black combat boots and he also wore an orange scarf, which covered his mouth. Kyo felt the champion's eyes on him. The big man walked up behind the unknown boy and put his hand on the boy's shoulder. The boy looked to him.

"Follow me. You'll be needing your prize money won't you?" He chuckled as he spoke to the boy. Kyo's eyes narrowed as he saw the boy's hands. They were small and pale. They resembled girl's hands.

"Nagasawa…." Kyo whispered. The boy's head snapped in Kyo's direction. How the boy heard Kyo's whisper, he didn't exactly know, but the sudden movement confirmed Kyo's guess.

"Well, maybe he, the champion, is now a she…." Kyo gave him a triumphant kind of smirk as the muscular man led Koken away. Kyo guessed this mission wasn't going to be so hard after all.

Kyo waited outside the warehouse for Koken to come out. She sure was taking her time. But why wouldn't she be? She wouldn't be in that stupid get up if she didn't want people to not know that she was fighting. How Kyo knew it was her he didn't know. But his instinctswere screaming in his ear that it was Koken. Some rather tall and skinny man came out from the door and looked at Kyo.

"Whatcha doing here boy? Wanna try your luck at fighting too? That last kid was very fast. Not too strong, but fast. Maybe you'd have a chance too. Today's youth is just full of surprises." The man chuckled.

"Actually, I'm waiting for my friend. She's the new champion of your arena. I came to late to watch her fight. I only caught the part when you announced her the winner." Kyo lied with a smirk of triumph still on his lips.

"She? That guy was a she? Explains why she was fast but not strong then. I couldn't touch her when we fought. But then, she left through the back door a couple of minutes ago. Does she know that you were waiting for her here?" The man frowned slightly. Kyo's eyes widened.

"She what? Fucking hell!" Kyo exclaimed as he sprinted away. The man just stood there, watching Kyo run away at top speed.

"Holy shit. He's just as fast as the girl." The man mumbled in disbelief.

Koken ran and ran as fast as her feet could take her, considering that she was wearing two layers of clothes and was exhausted from her tournament. She felt the wind whipping her face. It was a warm day but she couldn't help but get a slight chilling feeling. Koken was running yet she had no idea where she was now. She was too distracted by that red haired boy. She knew he was from her class, but she had no idea what his name was.

He was looking for her. He found her. What the hell did he want? It was the second time today that he went after her. She remembered the smirk he gave her. Her eyes narrowed. How did he know it was her?

"I will kill that bastard…." Koken thought as she gritted her teeth. "But maybe I can do something to cover up this thing. How do I do that? He saw my hands…and that's it…. What can I do to make him believe that it wasn't me?" She looked down at her attire. She was still in her cloak and scarf. Her hat gad flown off her head sometime in her mad dash to get away from the crimson-eyed boy.

"I guess first thing to do would be to get rid of these clothes…." She though as she started to take off her cloak.

"Hey Nagasawa!" She heard someone call out from behind her. She felt anger flare up inside her. He couldn't see her like this. Her hands dove into her pockets.

"Where are they! I can't find them…. Shit. This isn't good…." Koken refused to turn to Kyo without them. Her hands rummaged her pockets. She could hear Kyo catching up to her. Her heat raced. If he saw her, what would he think? What would he do? But then again…his eyes were crimson colored…but what if those were fake?

"Get back here Nagasawa!" The boy growled at her. She didn't reply. She was going to out run him even if it killed her. Finally her hands found the small box in her pocket. But now what? She couldn't use it now. She might hurt herself if she put them on now. She had no choice. She was just going to have to outrun him.

She put the box back in the pocket when she felt her scarf tighten around her neck. She looked back and saw that the boy had caught part of her scarf.

Kyo almost missed the scarf. The material was quite rough and worn out in his hand. Koken looked back at him and he stared at her in surprise.

"Her eyes…." He thought as he felt his jaw drop slightly. "How--!" Kyo thought until Koken glared at him and unraveled the scarf from around her neck. Kyo was snapped back to reality and he gritted his teeth. Kyo tossed away the scarf once Koken had gotten it off her neck. It would be no use to either of them anymore. Koken then got a sudden burst of speed and started to leave Kyo behind.

"Damn this! Come one, just a bit faster. I can catch this girl!" Kyo though, pushing himself to pick up the pace. He looked around to see where Koken had led him. They seemed to be out of the port already. He could hear people gasping as they passed.

"Boy! Look out!" Someone called out to him.

"What the-" Kyo looked ahead of him and saw that Koken had just jumped up a wall. Kyo quickly jumped over the wall just in time. He had almost crashed into it. But then as he flew on to the other side of the wall he couldn't see her anymore. She had just disappeared.

"Where the hell did she go?" Kyo muttered as he landed on the ground softly, a few feet away from the wall. He scanned the area before him. Suddenly he felt a sharp pain at the back of his neck.

Darkness.

Kyo had passed out.
