Chapter Five

A light?

"What i say Kasumi? You'll get used to him" Daichi chuckled as the two walked home. Kasumi just looked at him coldly. Thats when he stopped laughing.

It was getting dark. The sun was already disappearing. Daichi looked at his watch. "seven already?" He turned his head to Kasumi. She was focused on something in the treeline to the left of them. Daichi kept walking. "Ya know. My parents aren't going to be home. So we can go out to eat or something" He asked. Kasumi however didn't answer at all. She was paying attention to the treeline still. Daichi got a little worried. "Whats wrong..whats going on."

"Someone...is watching us" Kasumi coldly murmured. "Keep a straight face. Don't even change your style of walking" Then just as she finished. She gave a wide smile. "I forgot something at the school! Ill be right back"

Daichi was about to protest. When he remembered what she had said before. To act like everything was normal. He watched as she began to run back towards the school. "Alright! Come back safely!" He waved and smiled before walking back home. As he turned the corner he began to think. Who could be watching them? Some pervert? Or could it be that whoever was following her before had caught up to her? If that was the case then she was in enough trouble. He wanted to go back and help her but what could he do? Its been so long since he's actually trained. So he would be more of a nuisance than help. He hoped that whatever she was going to do. It wasn't going to cost her the life she worked so hard on. He got home. Noticing that his family had already left. There was a note on the table. Presumably from his father. His mother wasn't the type of person to leave notes on the table. He picked it up.

"Daichi. I guess you had some after school activities to do. So we are already gone. What i ask from you is simple. Keep the house clean and organized. The rent has already been payed for the next two months. We shouldn't be out that long but its fine. Keep the house clean and organized. I trust you enough to do this!

Oh and also. If you do have one of your lady friends over. Make sure to clean up your mess!

-Shunsuke"

Daichi sighed. He knew exactly what he meant by "mess" He put the card down and instinctively walked towards the fridge. Opening it. He grabbed the orange juice and closed the fridge.

"Ive returned" Kasumi's voice once again startled him. Pouring orange juice all over his uniform. "KASUMI! YOU NEED TO STOP DOING THAT! AT LEAST USE THE FRONT DOOR!" He quickly glanced at her and noticed a couple of cut wounds near her face and arms. Nothing too major. Just scratches. "What happened?"

Kasumi however looked surprised. "I apologize, but i was in a rush, however it had seemed that the person following me has found me. I took care of it"

"Will the person be following us again?" Daichi asked. Taking off his button down shirt. Revealing a white t-shirt under it.

"I do not know. Its possible"

Daichi sighed. Same old Kasumi. She never killed anyone in her life. He didn't expect to kill whoever it was now. "Alright. Get cleaned up, your a bit sweaty. Ill cook some food"

She nodded and walked towards the bathroom.

"Oh shit...i can't cook" He panicked. "Should i order food? No, i have to cook or she'll know..but.."

"Shit shit shit" He cursed and muttered. Saying stupid things like that. Sure he knew his survival skills. He knew how to catch a prey. Cut it up into pieces, skin it, cook it. You name it. But that was survival. Only used as a last resort. Besides Kasumi probably had enough of that. "Damn..looks like ill have to order take out" He groaned. It has been awhile since he ordered Chinese food. Picking up the phone. He looked around for the phone number of the store, before finally finding it on the counter. He checked his wallet as well. 4000 yen. All he had left since his birthday a couple of days ago. "Meh..it will do" He called the number and waited for the person to pick up.

"Hello this is Lee's restaurant, how may i help you?" It was a squeaky male voice.

"Yes, could i have two orders of Chicken and broccoli with White Rice?" Daichi hoped that Kasumi liked broccoli, because he sure as hell didn't.

"Yes" The man said. He took a few seconds to respond back. "And what do you want to drink sir?"

"Uhh, a two-liter of Pepsi?"

"Ok that comes out to... 1500 yen"

Daichi cursed under his breath. He really wanted to save that money for something important. It seemed like it would have to wait. He told the man the address and hung up the phone. At that moment it seemed Kasumi had finished showering. She came downstairs wearing pink pajamas and a short baby blue shirt that seemed a little too small, since her bellybutton was showing. Her hair wasn't braided anymore and was in her usual ponytail. "I hope you don't mind, but i used Ms. Nagasaki's shampoo and soap" She said, using the towel to dry off some of the water from her arms. Daichi could smell the fresh scent of strawberries and smiled.

"Its fine. Besides, it smells great on you" He gave her a smile, but she nodded. "Thank you Daichi"

Daichi sighed. "And now for the bad news.." Kasumi gave him an odd stare, but Daichi looked away. "I can't cook...so i ordered take out.." He looked at Kasumi once again, she smiled.

"It's acceptable, I wasn't going to criticize on your culinary arts, unless you as-"

Daichi shook his head. Mentioning her to be quiet. "No, i cant cook anything, unless you count putting things in the microwave"

Kasumi gave him the "oh" look, then nodded. "So...what will we be eating then?"

As if on cue, the doorbell rang. Daichi quickly walked up to it and opened it. Thinking it was the Chinese man. He was sorely mistaken, and was shocked to see who was in front of him. The Female had short clear-violet hair with pink eyes. Usually meant for soft people. However these eyes penetrated as if Daichi were a demon ready to get destroyed. He took a couple of steps back. "No way"

The female in the violet, ninja clad armor was none other than Ayane of the Mugen Tenshin clan.

Uh oh! Ayane made her appearance, and she's caught Kasumi at a bad time! Will this end well for the two? And most importantly, will Kasumi be able to reason with her before a fight errupts? if not, will she be able to defeat her in time before he chinese man comes? IF shes able to defeat her! *GASP!*
