&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Motoko step into the dinner room and seated herself in her place. Shinobu enter the room carrying plates and placing them on the table.

"Good morning Motoko" Shinobu greeted her with a smile

Motoko greeted the girl while drinking some tea, "Good morning"

"Have you seen sempai?" Shinobu asked as she began to place rice into the small bowls.

"No I haven't" the girl replied as she grab picked up the utensils.

"He is in the hallway talking with our visitor from yesterday" Shinobu saw Naru entering the room yawning out loud, "gome-nesai…. man I'm tired"

"…Thank you for your hospitality." The figures stopped and bowed to Kietaro.

"Forget about it man. Anyone from the Shanja Dojo is welcome here." Kietaro motion the boy to the kitchen, "you want something to eat?"

The boy didn't respond for a second then he merely nodded to Kietaro. Kietaro motion him in the direction where the other residents were currently eating breakfast. They were sitting at the table when Kietaro enter the room.

"Good morning ladies." Kietaro sat down as he greeted them and picked up the fork. The boy stood in the door way and watch the group stop eating to look at him.

"Um…. Why don't you introduce yourself?" Kietaro asked as he began to eat his breakfast.

The boy looked at him then at the girls then at the ground before replying to Kietaro, "Very well" he turn to face the girls and bowed to them, " My name is Ifrit Buenavista."

Motoko notice that Kanako became silent when he introduce himself, but thought better of saying anything.

"Hi nice to meet you my name is Naru Narusegawa."

"My name is Shinobu."

Motoko completely ignored the boy so Kietaro ended up introducing them, "This is Motoko Aoyama and my sister Kanako."

"And I'm SU!" Su shot out of her seat and jumped towards Ifrit. Everyone gasped as Su went hurling at Ifrit. Ifrit turned sideways and caught her by the waist. Gently the boy placed the blond hair island girl on the ground.

"Su-san nice to meet you… nice to meet all of you." he replied.

Shinobu stood up and turn to Ifrit, "Do you wish to eat some breakfast?"

"I would really enjoy some breakfast please." Ifrit answer as Shinobu motion him to an empty seat in from of Motoko. He was sitting down when suddenly he stop. In fact he stopped breathing for about 5 seconds as he placed a hand on the right of his ribs. Groaning silently he sat down and didn't move a muscle until it subsided. Then he gave a sigh and thanked Shinobu as she placed a plate in front of him. He picked up the fork and began to eat.

"So…. Are you Japanese?" Naru found the curiosity get the best of her.

"No."

"No?" everyone stopped and looked at him questionably.

"……….I is American." he replied placing his fork down.

"American?"

"Yes." they gave him a look of awed as he wiped his mouth with a napkin.

Naru finished eating to and place her fork down, "Then what are you doing in Japan?"

The boy became silent as he thought of an explanation. Then he looked at Naru and answered, "I am sight seeing here."

Naru looked at him for a moment as thought doubting then reply, "That's cool… so how long are you planning on staying with us here?"

"…."

"Ifrit?" Naru asked concern as to why he didn't answer her.

"Sorry my mind was somewhere else. What was it you asked?" Ifrit reply as he shook his head slightly.

"How long are you planning on staying with us here?" she asked again.

"I am not sure …there are things that I need to do that are important and I can not tell how much time is needed. Urashima-san has told me that he will allow me to stay. I told him that I would be grateful for his hospitality but asked that I be allowed to stay only if my presence is not a burden to anyone." Ifrit stood up and stood near the wall looking at Kietaro then at the girls as he told them his thoughts.

"I'm sure they agree to let you stay these are the nicest girls around right?" Kietaro laughed as he stood up.

"Absolutely Not!" Motoko shouted as she stood up and slam her hands on the table. Everyone quickly stood up and scramble away as Motoko fury was being release.

"I will not submit to this! This is supposed to be an all girls dormitory!"

Kietaro tried to calm Motoko down but fail, "Motoko please calm do-"

"No! I have endured enough with you around. I will not tolerate another perverted male! I will… I will…I." Motoko had stopped talking as Ifrit removed his hood to look at her.

The hood revealed a handsome face, a face with a strong looking jaw line and chin. His face was slightly narrow and had sharp cheekbones, a straight lined nose and thin pale lips. His hair was jet-black. His hair reached an inch above his shoulders. It was smooth and silky looking. His red bangs reached just above his eyes. His eyes were cover with a pair of dark black tinted glasses. The face was currently giving Motoko a puzzling expression. Motoko's face took on a light hue of pink as she stared at him. She then shook her head and drew her sword.

"Air-splitting Wave!" she send an attack at Ifrit who reacted fast and dodge the attack before making his way away from the kendo girl.

"Aoyama-san" Ifrit tried to reason with her, but his attempts were futile. She ignored him and continued chasing after her. After a minute Ifrit slowly led her to the front of the Hinata dorm. The others soon followed and stood a large distance away from the two.

"Motoko-Chan! Please stop before you get hurt!" Kietaro tried again at calming her down. Motoko stood 20 feet from Ifrit and was panting in slight exhaustion. Ifrit appeared as though nothing was happening.

"I challenged you!" Motoko shouted out her challenged still breathing deeply from having chased him all around, "If I win you and Urashima are to leave the Hinata for good!"

"But if I win?" he asked in a low yet threatening voice.

" I-er… it is…um…I know" Motoko thought of a simple thing if he won, "I will do 3 request of your choice. Now prepare to lose!" Motoko raised her sword to her side and charge right at Ifrit. Ifrit took a second to analyze the problem before moving his feet into an ancient stance and waited. All the while she charged Ifrit monitor her attack and made any adjustment needed. Right as she reached him she raised her sword over her head before bringing in down to strike him. What happened next caused everyone to gasp.

Motoko, "What?"

Naru, "No way! Unbelievable!"

Kietaro, "……"

Shinobu and Su, "Wow"

Kanako more towards herself, "So it is true"

Just as Motoko bought her sword down Ifrit stuck out his hand and caught the blade in between his index finger and his middle finger. She gasped out loud as she stared in disbelief. He moved his head up to look at her and gave her a tiny smile. Then quick as a flash he twisted his finger and disarmed Motoko. Then even faster he grabbed her arm twisted her body so as that Motoko's back was against his chest then he pull her close and grab her left hand with his preventing her from moving that arm. His right arm held the sword and raised it up to her neck. She felt the flat end of her steel sword against her neck

"No…….. I….. It's…." Motoko felt Ifrit release her and placed her gently on the floor. He held her sword in his hand for a second before picking up her cover and shielding the sword placed it in front of her on the ground. Motoko lay on her hands and knees, "… I ….I. …lost…that's ….not…possible."

Ifrit bowed to her before turning and beginning to make his way towards the other.

"Wait!" Motoko stood up and walked towards Ifrit stopping ten feet from him. Ifrit stopped, but did not look at her. He raised his hand and gently pulled the hood over his head concealing his face. "…. I …..I have lost fair and square……what are the three things you request me to do?"

Ifrit turn to face her and walked over to her, "Anything?"

"Yes. Any three things you request of me. I must comply with them. I am a warrior of my word." Motoko bowed as she answered.

Ifrit watched as she bowed to him. Suddenly a vision of exactly 13 men bowing to him came to mind. He shook his head and gave a sigh. Then it hit him. He wasn't really serious about the request. He could see in her eyes though that she was really serious about it.

"Um….How ….about…" Ifrit stood there thinking while Motoko waited as her fate was being though out finally he replied, "would you allow me to be your friend?"

Motoko looked up at him and saw him giving her a slight smile. She stood up quickly, but did not meet his gaze as she turned a light hue of pink, "Hai!……and the other 2?"

He looked deep in thought. Then turning away and raising two fingers he replied, "How about we put those two on hold until a situation requires it ok?"

"……Ok…"

He gave her another smile before walking into the dormitory. Motoko stood there watching the boy's retreating figure.

"Uh-oh Motoko is all pink" Su jumped on Motoko shoulders and stared at her face.

"What!" Motoko shook Su off and walked away.

"Um... Sempai? Is something wrong with Motoko?" Shinobu asked turning to face Kietaro.

"I don't think it's anything serious." Replied Kietaro now walking with the other into the house.

"That was amazing though, I can't believe Ifrit blocked Motoko attack with just his fingers." She placed a finger on her chin in though, "I wonder if he is warrior like Motoko?"

"You have no idea"

"What did you say Kietaro?" Naru asked as she followed him

Chuckling nervously Kietaro walked faster while replied quickly, "Nothing"

Later that Afternoon

Motoko paced within the confinement of her room still unable to believe that Ifrit had beaten her so easily, 'How is it possible? How could he have beaten me so simple and fast? Spirits! Why can't I think straight? He must have practice the ancient art…. that is the only logical explanation' her eyes travel to the wall on her left where a samurai suit stood on display. She saw her reflection in the glass that protected the suit from becoming dirty.

"…..I must find out" she stood, picked up her sword and stepped out of her room her room, "where can he be?" she close her eyes and concentrated her mind on finding Ifrit's chi. Her chi travel through the Hinata building searching for a new chi. It passed Shinobu who was in the kitchen cooking dinner, her chi as cheerful as always. Continuing on its way her chi found Su in her room. Su's Chi was energetic and excited….nothing new there. She then found Kietaro and Naru's chi in the same room both were currently serious since they were working on there homework. Kitsune's chi was in her room and it had a major headache. 'She must have been drinking yesterday.' Then as her chi went up towards the patio deck something happened. Her mind was filled with the sound of people screaming and crying then darkness overcame her. She gasped as she open her eyes and refocused them. Panting slightly she fought to get her mind in control. She had an overwhelming feeling of anger, sadness, fear, insecurity, and countless other negative feelings. She looked down the hall that led to the patio deck. Taking a deep breath she turned and began to walk toward the steps.

Ifrit stood on the patio deck staring out in the direction of the sun. After a second he jumped on the roof and climbed to the top of the building. He took out his two long, elegant yet very sharp swords. The handles were black and engraved with a dragon on either side of them. The blade itself was silver except the center which was pure gold. Along the center of the gold were two different names engraved in. he place the covers on the floor to the side before standing up. He gave both swords a kiss before holding them firmly in his hands. He took a deep breath before he began to fight. He slashed out at his invisible opponent. Motoko reach the patio deck and froze when she saw Ifrit on the roof fighting. She watch in amazement as Ifrit performed difficult attacks with such grace. As she watched him she felt her heart begin to beat hard against her chest.

'What is wrong with me?'

She closed her eyes for a second before opening them again. Ifrit was about to attack his opponent he stop then drop to his knees. As he placed his swords on the floor he began to cough as though choking. Motoko walk over to him and made her way to the roof.

"Ifrit? Is something wrong?" she asked fully concern. Ifrit took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth. As he stood up she saw the handkerchief cover with some blood right before he put it away. He turned to Motoko a small smile upon his lips.

"I am fine Aoyama-san. Is there something I can help you with?"

She watched as he picked up his swords then the cover and finally placed them in their respected cover before turning back to her. He still had the smile on his face. Motoko stood there her mind going blank from what she was going to ask him.

"Um… I… wanted …um... I mean"

"What is it?" he asked feeling something must be going on with her. "Is something wrong?"

"Um…theotherdayyousaysomethingwaswrongwithmykatanaandIwanttoknowwhatitis!" she took a deep breath as she said all that

"……could you repeat that again…a little slower please?"

"Um……you said something was wrong with my sword…what is it?" Motoko asked again as she didn't look at him. Ifrit stood staring at her before looking down at her katana.

"May I?"

Motoko placed her hand on her sword as though defending it. Truth be told no one has ever touched her sword before and especially a male. The battle earlier that day did not count because Ifrit had taken it in battle.

"I…er…what I mean…I…. don't" Motoko began to stutter.

"I see. You don't want to hold your katana?" Ifrit asked in more of a statement then a question.

"Um… That is not." Motoko began to answer when Ifrit interrupted her.

"Don't worry. I would be really upset if some one grabbed these without my consent." He replied moving his hand back under his cloak. "Here take your katana out and hold it in both hands." Motoko gave him a look of thanks as she pulled it out. "Now place one finger right at the junction where the blade meets the handles." She place the finger as he showed her and tried to balance it however it fell forward. She caught it before it fell on the ground.

"That is your problem" he told her as he took out his sword "your sword is unbalanced. The blade and the handle should be equal weight otherwise your hands are not doing extra work by constantly trying to keep the sword straight."

He took out his sword and balanced it on his finger perfectly. He removed it and placed it back on his side and covered it with his cloak.

"so the blade is heavier then the handle?" Motoko asked now understanding what he meant.

"Yes here I think I have the solution" he reached into his cloak and was looking for something. After a second he found it and took it out. "Here we go."

She saw him take out a set of jade stones, then as he looked at her sword he measure the weight of the stones before cutting out three of then he tied them so that a diamond oval diamond pattern was hanging on it. He made the end a loop and tied it tightly to her katana handle.

"There try it now" he said as he step back to allow her to try it one more time. This time she succeeded.

"It's balanced!….um…thanks you for assisting me. How do you know so much about these swords?" she asked as she put it away. Ifrit sat down on the roof in an Indian stance Motoko follow suit and sat down next to him.

"I…guess it was my parents." He replied not turning to her.

"What about them?" Motoko asked slightly interested.

"My parents are part of the Shanja Dojo." Ifrit did not at all look like he was proud.

"The Shanja Dojo?" Motoko stare in shock as the boy nodded. "That is….It is….I have never met someone who resides in the Shanja Dojo. Dose that mean you're from the Dojo too?"

"Not anymore"

"What happened?" Motoko ask, but Ifrit did not answer. He looked out towards the sun as it began to set in the horizon. Motoko could not help herself as her eyes were staring at Ifrit's face. His face seems to glow from the sun's rays, yet there was this…darkness that is trying to overcome his glow. He turned slightly and saw her looking at him.

"What? Is there something on my face?" he asked as he wiped his face

"Yes… I mean NO! no... there nothing." Motoko answer quickly looking away. Ifrit look at her before turning away and becoming lost in thought as he stare at the sunset. When she stood up he also stood up and turn to face the kendo girl.

"I will have to ask Urashima-San if there is a vacant room in which I can stay or else I will be left without a room." He bowed to her, "Good night Aoyama-san…. It is an honor to have met you." He turn and walk away as Motoko's face turned pink she turn and left to her room while calming her heart as it was beating against her chest.
