Katsumi and Akane's POV:

Forest: Katsumi stomped onto a twig and broke it in half. Akane sighed and continued to follow behind Katsumi. Katsumi sighed and turned around. She stared at Akane.

"You're worried," she said.

Akane looked at her and shook her head. She then answered, "No, I'm not."

Katsumi sighed and said, "You are and tell me what's going through your little mind."

"Are you calling me stupid?" Akane shouted, angrily.

"No, I'm just saying if something's bothering you, you can always tell me," Katsumi said, turning around and continue to walk down the path.

Akane stared at Katsumi's back head for a few minutes and then, ran up to Katsumi.

"Well, I was wondering, now, that Yahiko and you are in love," Akane said, looking down at her feet, while walking, "I was wondering how I fall in love?"

Katsumi stopped walking. Akane accidentally bump into Katsumi. She looked at Katsumi. Katsumi had her right hand over her mouth. Her long hair was covering her face. Akane tried to look at her, but Katsumi kept turning away. Akane had a angry chibi face. She whacked Katsumi on the head with a tree branch.

"OW!" Katsumi yelled, covering her bump on her head, "What was that for!"

"Don't laugh at my serious question!" Akane shouted, still holding the tree branch.

"I didn't know you would think that I was laughing," Katsumi said, with red cheeks chibi form.

Akane whacked Katsumi on the head again and had the same angry chibi look.

"Don't lie to me!" Akane yelled, holding a broken tree branch.

"Okay, okay. I think that question was hilarious!" Katsumi shouted, laughing.

Katsumi starts running, laughing. Akane ran after her, very angry and embarrassed. She took a new tree branch. It was very big and thick. Katsumi continued to laugh as Akane continue to run after her so she could beat Katsumi up for laughing at her.

Suddenly, Katsumi stopped running. Akane suddenly stopped chasing and turned silent. Both girls stood there for a few moments. Katsumi and Akane faced each other and nodded to each other.

Katsumi jumped into a nearby tree and sat on the highest branch. Akane jumped into a nearby tree, also, and climb to the high branch and sat. They both waited and waited.

Suddenly, a sharp edge of a blade slashed into a bush below Akane's tree. Two male voice came up. Katsumi and Akane hid in the shadows of the leaves.

"I swear, I heard voices!" a man with a red kimono and a black, thick mustache.

His partner, who had a blue kimono, stood behind him and looked around.

"It smells like, " he said, sniffing the air, "two little girls."

The man with the red kimono looked around and scowled. His partner continued to sniff the air.

Katsumi and Akane narrowed their eyes. They jumped out of the trees, but use their speed to keep them from getting caught. They reappeared behind the two men.

Katsumi and Akane tapped on the men's shoulders. The two men turned around. Akane punched the man in red and Katsumi punched the man in blue. The men both fell to the ground, unconscious.

"Why, they're so weak," Katsumi said, staring at the man in blue.

"Agreed," Akane replied, dusting her kimono.
