Get Backers Something Has To Be Done!

Part One – Chapter One

Suddenly Kazuki screeches to a halt and right in front of him is Ginji Amano, "The Lightning Emperor" and Ban Midou "Master of the J'gon". However, there was someone knew that he had never seen before and as he looked at her from head to toe and she stared back at him with smoke gray eyes with the most perplexed and surprised look on her face. Then he turned to look at Ginji and Ban.

Ginji: Um…Kazu???

Ban begins to laugh hysterically.

Sakura: Oh, um. Master Kazuki? I could've come to your room.

Kazuki: Just what are you talking about Sakura.

As the on lookers stared at Kazuki, it suddenly dawns on him that he's in the front corridor wearing only a towel. But also, his hair, which is normally, glossy, straight and beautiful is frazzled, tangled with combs and generally all over the place. He begins to turn around and suddenly, that last comb that caught in his hair, snags on his towel and yanks it lose.

It just happened! Please tell me, it didn't just happen. If I bend over she'll see. What do I do…. wait a minute! My hair!

Ban: (Laughing hysterically) Ha, ha, ha. Well, well, well. The super cool 'Thread Master' has lost his pants. Now let's see you…

While everyone stared on, Kazuki strategically placed his hair covering his private areas and turned to face Ban head on. However, they both weren't able to battle it out on account that Kazuki, even though his hair was very well placed, remembered the new girl and blushing apple red, turns and walks proudly, yet quickly back down the hall whence he came.

Ginji: Uh…Ban? What just happened?

Ban: Well, Ginji, I guess you could say that the Thread Master got knots to deal with.

Sakura: Oh, I'm very sorry about that. It happens once in a while when Kazuki doesn't pay attention.

Ban: Well, I don't see why he just doesn't cut it.

Sakura: He can't, at least not until he's married. It's a part of his family heritage.

Ginji: Hey, Sakura? Where's Jubei? Still training?

Sakura: Sort of!

Ban: So anyway, Sakura, how about it. Can she stay here for a while?

Sakura: Oh, yeah. Sure! I'm sure Jubei and Master Kazuki won't mind.

Meanwhile, Kazuki sequesters himself in his room and Jubei practices in the garden as Sakura escorts Ban and Ginji to their car and then shows the girl to the spare room across from Jubei and next to the kitchen, just one door away from Kazuki and down the hall from Sakura.

Rinka: Thank you so much. I don't know how I can ever repay you for this kindness. Are you sure it's all right with everyone?

Sakura: I'll just let them know when they come in for dinner later on. Until then, why don't you settle in and relax. I'm sure you've been through a lot.

Rinka: Thank you, once again.

As Sakura goes to the kitchen to prepare dinner for everyone Rinka goes to her new room. However, she was so tense on the ride over here that she instantly fell asleep. Dreaming about Kazuki.

Sakura: All right everyone dinner is ready! Master Kazuki? Jubei?

(Kazuki appears in the door entrance from the hall and Jubei enters from the patio entrance.)

As Jubei tries not to stare at Master Kazuki's hair in wonderment, and Kazuki tries to make Jubei look at him, Sakura begins to fix everyone's plates when she noticed that Rinka hasn't appeared. Jubei and Kazuki was so preoccupied with their battle of wills that they didn't notice when Sakura knocked on the spare room a few times, opened the door, sighed and prepared another plate and put it away. She then continues to fix plates and set them before Jubei, Kazuki and herself.

Kazuki: You can look at me Jubei. I won't bite.

Jubei: I believe that you once told me that before master Kazuki. When you were nine years old and your hair was tangled and your mother had to…(Jubei broke off then when he realized the memory that was pulled out)

Kazuki: (Quietly) It's okay Jubei. The memory doesn't sting anymore.

Sakura: Besides, you have us and I can untangle your hair now. By the way, how did you finally get it to resemble some of the perfect style you usually achieve?
