Chapter 2
Sakura's first day of school was a complete success. She couldn't believe how many new friends she had made. After she met Minamino-kun, Anzu- chan, and Kaori-chan during homeroom, she met a few kids from another class during lunch time. The Higurashi twins, Leiko-chan and Kazuo-kun, were really funny and Shina-chan was very sweet. Shina-chan's older brother Kanaye-sempai and Kaori-chan's cousin Hina-sempai also joined the group. Sakura was also very happy to find other hanyous and part-demons still in Ningenkai. Even if most of her new friends didn't know what they were, Sakura could tell.
As Sakura walked home from school, a voice spoke up from behind her,
"It seems you had fun today."
"Hi Ryu," Sakura replied without looking behind her. Ryu walked up beside her and the two continued to walk together.
"So you've been watching me all day I gather?" Sakura asked the fire demon happily.
"Of course I was. I have to since you get yourself into trouble too easily."
Sakura giggled at Ryu's last comment. ~He worries about me too much. It's kinda cute, ~ she thought as the two reached Sakura's apartment.
Sakura lived in a low rent apartment building in a not-too-good part of town 'cause it was the only place Baa-san could afford. The rent was cheap because the building was said to be haunted and only the brave, stupid, and unlucky would dare rent rooms there. But the landlady, Alice- san, was a sweetheart and actually gave anyone willing to rent two rooms for the price of one. But the other tenants were not the friendliest. The man who lived next to Sakura was old and obnoxious, especially now that a teenager was living next door. The man across the hall was a drug dealer and gang leader while the woman next to him was a hooker and brought the weirdest guys home with her. On the second floor directly above Sakura lived a single mom, Karen, and her 4 year old daughter, Sayo, who Sakura babysat when Karen had to work. Next to Karen were four gang members who worked for the gang leader across the hall from Sakura. The other rooms were vacant at the moment. Usually, the gang members would use them for meetings or did their dealing out of them. Alice lived in the first two rooms on the first floor. When Sakura and Ryu arrived home, Asou, the drug dealer, was trying to get poor Karen-san evicted.
"Listen, Alice, this is no place for some bitch and her bastard kid. They mess with my work all the time. And do you really think she won't bring the cops down on this place the first chance she gets? I mean, every tenant in this place would be hauled out of here in handcuffs, except for the old geezer. You need us, regardless of what we do."
"I'm not going to throw that poor girl out on the streets," Alice said firmly. "If I throw anyone out it will be you and your boys upstairs. Now get out of my sight before I call the cops on you."
"You wouldn't call the cops," Asou retorted. "You need the money we pay."
"Well then, smart-ass, why don't you move upstairs and give Karen-san your rooms down here?" It was Sakura who spoke this time. "Then Sayo-chan can't mess with your work, now can she?"
Asou looked at Sakura with a mix of fear and disgust in his eyes. Even though Asou was about 6 foot 2 and 200 hundred pounds of near complete muscle, he had had his ass handed to him on a silver platter the first and only time he fought Sakura. And since Ryu was with her as well, he wouldn't dare start anything.
"Great idea, Sakura-chan. Oh, and while we're at it, move the old geezer upstairs too and make this a girls-only floor." Everyone turned to see Sonomi, the hooker, emerge from her room. Sonomi was about 25 years old with bleached-blond hair and gravity-defying proportions.
"I don't think he will go for that, Sonomi," Alice commented. "You know he won't be able to make the stairs."
"There is no way in hell you're gonna move me upstairs Alice." Now the old geezer, Fuma, entered the argument. "It's bad enough having one teenager next door, but four is unacceptable. I won't have it."
"Who cares what you think, Ji-Ji? And I don't remember anyone asking you to join us," Sonomi said over her shoulder.
"Well it is my business. I will not be moved upstairs nor have that woman and her brat moved down here," screamed the old man.
"What difference does it make? Sayo-chan's down here most of the time anyway. I mean Sakura-chan is the one who minds her," said Alice heatedly. "So I'm going with Sakura-chan's idea and switching Asou's and Karen's rooms. Fuma will stay where he is and the other rooms upstairs are to be used as anyone sees fit. Now if you will all excuse me I have supper cooking. Good day!" And with that Alice ended the argument and slammed the door on everyone.
Sonomi and Fuma both returned to there rooms while Asou went upstairs to probably inform his boys of the move. Sakura and Ryu went into Sakura's room to find little Sayo asleep on Sakura's makeshift couch. Sakura had given Sayo a copy of her key not long after she started watching the little girl. Since Karen always got weird working hours, Sayo was left alone some days. Sayo was afraid of the gang boys next door, so Sakura gave her a key and offered Sayo her room to hide in, which the younger girl graciously accepted.
Sakura put her bag down and went to change her clothes. Ryu made himself comfortable in a bean bag chair next to the couch. He stared at the sleeping form of Sayo, who reminded him of his younger sister, Kei, in Makai. He wondered how his family was doing and if the damn tyrant had been overthrown. He was especially worried about his twin sister Sagwa. The Sagwa he remembered didn't like to fight. She was quiet, like their Aunt Yukina, and even inherited the Kormine ability of healing. But she also shred tear gems, for which the tyrant Akira had had all the Kormine hunted down and imprisoned. Sagwa's were even more valuable than a Kormine's tear gem, since Sagwa's were black. Come to think of it, Ryu also shred black tear gems. Maybe Sagwa could also control the elements of fire and ice like he could.
Ryu's muses were interrupted by a knocking at the door. Ryu opened the door to see four girls about his and Sakura's age standing in the doorway. They were all wearing the same uniform Sakura had. He then remembered they were Sakura's classmates but he couldn't figure out which ones. Just then Sakura emerged from the other room, asking
"Ryu, who's at the door?" He moved out of the way so Sakura could get a look at her guests.
"Ah, Kaori-chan, Anzu-chan, Shina-chan, Leiko-chan it's you guys. What are you doing here?"
Kaori was the first to speak. "You left this at school. We found your address inside so we figured we would return it to you." Kaori handed Sakura the object she was carrying, which turned out to be Sakura's wallet.
"My wallet? I didn't even know I left it. Thank you so much." Sakura bowed in gratitude to her friends. After the other girls bowed back, Ryu began to laugh uncontrollably. Everyone looked at him as if he was crazy.
"And what the hell is so funny Ryu?" Sakura asked him, a little pissed at the way he was acting.
"I can't believe you are so absentminded as to forget your wallet. What were you planning to do about dinner if your classmates didn't bring it here?" Ryu asked, trying to compose himself.
"Idiot, I only keep enough money for lunch in here. The rest is in a safe place. It's not that big of a deal. Besides, I usually just eat whatever Alice-san makes."
"Alice-san?" This time Anzu spoke up and Sakura remembered her friends were still standing in the doorway.
"Oh my God, I'm so sorry. Please come in," Sakura quickly ushered everyone into the small room closed the door.
The four girls sat around a small table in the middle of the room while Sakura went to making tea. Ryu went back to the bean bag and Sayo was still asleep on the couch. Sakura put the tea pot on the table, along with seven cups. Leiko counted the number of tea cups and asked,
"Sakura, why did you bring seven cups? There are only six of us."
"Hey what about me?!" Sayo had woken up.
"Minna, this is Sayo-chan. She lives upstairs, but she usually stays with me when her mom's working."
After Sakura introduced everyone to Sayo, she proceeded to pour the tea. As the girls were talking, another knock was heard from Sakura's door. Ryu went to answer it and came back with Karen following him. "Sayo, so this is where you were." Karen was a beautiful 19 year old half Egyptian, half Japanese young woman. Her long black hair was tied up in a bun at the base of her neck and she wore her waitress uniform from the diner down the road. The little girl ran up to her mother, hugging the woman's legs. Karen picked up her daughter and apologized to Sakura for all the trouble the two caused her. Sakura told her it was no problem, that she liked having Sayo around. Karen thanked Sakura again and turned to leave when Sakura remembered the new arrangements.
"Karen-san, wait up."
"What's wrong, Sakura-chan?" Karen asked the younger girl.
"Alice-san wants you and Asou-san to switch rooms. She figured it would be easier on you and Sayo-chan being across the hall from me and away from the gang boys. You might want to go see her."
"Thank you so much Sakura-chan. I have to give her the rent money anyway. Is it okay if Sayo stays here till I finish talking with Alice- san?"
"It's no problem at all Karen-san. She's no trouble at all."
"Well then I'll be back in a few minutes." Karen went down the hall to see Alice and Sayo took up her spot in Sakura's lap once again.
"You sure live with some interesting people, Sakura-chan," commented Shina.
"You have no idea." Sakura sighed. "We got an old geezer next door who hates teenagers and a hooker down the hall who has got the weirdest clients I've ever seen. There's also a drug dealer and four members of his gang here too. Plus the place is supposed to be haunted. But the rent's cheap so I get what I pay for."
"Damn, why don't you find another place?" Leiko asked her.
"Baa-san couldn't afford much more. She's the one paying the rent for me. Besides, I get two rooms for the price of one. I gotta take what I can."
"Well, that's all and good, but I still have one question – who the hell is this guy?" Kaori asked pointing to Ryu who was ignoring the five girls.
"Oh, that's Ryu. He's another one of Baa-san's students. He comes to check up on me every so often."
"What does your Obaa-sama teach, Sakura-chan?" Anzu asked her.
"She's a martial arts master. She's one of the best." Sakura's thoughts wandered backed to her days of training with Baa-san. She loved being with Baa-san, one of the only people she could ever trust. She didn't know what she would do if anything happened to Baa-san.
Just then Karen returned to get Sayo. The moving would happen next week and Alice wanted Sakura and Ryu to help out. The two agreed to help and Karen took Sayo upstairs to get dinner started. The other girls also had to run home. Everyone said good-bye and Sakura went over to Alice's room to get dinner and figure out how they were gonna move Asou upstairs and Karen downstairs. At least Sakura could never say her life was boring.
