Chapter 5 - The Fire Band

" Sir, I have news for you."

" What is it?" A young lady sitting on a chair said.

" We had found Seika and she 's stronger than before. And yes, she have friends with her."

" Really? Good. Attack on her friends first."

" Yes, Master Ankoru."

* * *

" Brrring!" the school bell rang.

" Ok class., dismissed." Mr. Yamagi said.

Seika and Mikagami walked out of the class and were greeted by Recca, Yanagi, Fuuko and Domon.

" Hey, want to go to the mall?" Recca suggested excitedly.

" No, WE can't. Got to do project." Seika said reluctantly while pointing to Mikagami.

" Yeah, yeah." Mikagami said in a I-am-so-bored kind of tone.

" Me, too." Fuuko said, " Got to help my mom."

" Me, three. Got tutition." Domon said.

" I can go, Recca." Yanagi said eagerly.

" Then, you two go yourselves." Fuuko answered.

" Ok, Bye!" the rest waved goodbye to Yanagi and Recca.

" Bye!" Yanagi and Recca replied as they walked at opposite each other.

" What a beautiful day!" Yanagi exclaimed as they walked side by side.

" Yeah." Recca replied.

They then walked together in silence through the woods. Recca, using this moment of time, hold Yanagi's hand. The totally surprised Yanagi looked at Recca, then to her hand, and back to Recca again. Recca had that nothing- has-happened look on his face and Yanagi understood what it means. Together they walked, hand in hand, about a few metres before a bunch of Baku broke this romantic moment.

*Flashback*

(At the time in Seika's house.)

" What are those black things that attack you?" Recca asked.

" They are the Baku. They are creatures that are humans once. They had grown to hate this world and now only have their minds full of destroying us. Because of that, they are useful objects to work for Ankoru. They are very powerful. Only special things can hurt them. Ordinary punches and kick are no use to them." Seika said, eyes full of sadness, " They are human beings once. It is sad to think that someone might become liked these."

*End of flashback*

"Yanagi, hide behind the trees and don't move. I will take care of these." Have to protect Yanagi from these Baku. Recca then charged forward with his fists even though it will be no use.

Recca have a good start, knocking a few unconsciouses. However, the few that came later were much tougher. After a hundred and twenty-one punches and kicks respectively, the Baku was standing while Recca was lying on the ground, panting deeply.

" Recca! Are you alright?" Yanagi begin to come forward from the trees while the Baku began to advance.

Must protect Yanagi! But how?

"Use this." A voice rang out from nowhere. Then, in front of Recca, a fire band appeared. It flew over to Recca's arm and clamped itself there. A shot of fierce heat traveled up Recca's arm. Recca wanted to scream but as soon as the heat came, it went away quickly as well.

" It has fire power. Use it well." Then the voice died out.

" Fire power? What the-" Recca 's sentence was cut short as a Baku held him by his throat.

" Recca!!" Yanagi screamed as a Baku grabbed her.

"FIRE BALLS!" Recca shouted. Balls of fire flew toward all the Baku and burn them alive, destroying them into ashes.

" Oh, it just like the past." Recca said as Yanagi came over.

" What just happened? What is that at your arm?" Yanagi asked.

" I not sure myself. Let head to Seika's house and I will tell you how I get this."
