Chapter 4

Shizu was down at the festival with Riku by his side. The day was nice and cool as the wind blew not so cold air. Just enough to make you feel that there will be good weather all day. As he walked he came by a man selling swords and he walked up to the table and began to look at what he had for sale. He found a few he liked very much. He bought only one because he didn't have that much money to spend. It looked Chinese and it's casing was a beautiful shade of green. It reminded him of the kimono the inn lady showed him. He was pretty happy to have bought it. Riku his dog was walking beside him and seem content that his master was happy.

"Shizu-sama? You really love swords don't you?" Riku asked. Shizu looked down at his friend and smiled. "Yes, I do. This one is special though. Went I first seen it, it was like it was saying to me 'please bring me on a journey with you." Shizu replied. But then all of a sudden Shizu seen a girl in a green kimono pass by him. The girl looked very familiar, yet he wasn't sure who he seen. The girl had very short hair like someone he knew, except her hair was clipped up in a stylist way. Shizu couldn't take his eyes off her when she suddenly disappeared around the corner.

He followed her, but when he got to the corner, she wasn't there anymore. It was so crowded with people, it would take a miracle to find her now. All of a sudden Riku picked up her familiar sent and began to run in a direction with Shizu running behind trying to keep up with his four legged friend. Riku began to close in to the sent and the girl came into view onces more. But this time she had her face turned so Shizu could see her properly.

Shizu froze knowing now who he seen. It was Kino, but not the Kino he knew. Kino then looked forward spotting Shizu and Riku who seemed very out of breath and shocked. She walked up to them wondering what happened to them. "Shizu... Riku... why are you out of breath? Is something chasing you?" she questioned them. Shizu's face started to get a little red, unable to answer to the girl in front of him. Riku looked up to him with a smile. "Told you Shizu-sama" he laughed. Shizu's face started to become redder as Kino tiled her head in confusion. (Kino didn't know he mistaken her as a boy. She probably wouldn't care ether way.)

"Kino..." Finally a few words came out of his mouth. "Are you really a girl?" he asked. Kino started looked at him as if he lost his mind. "Yeah, so what if I'm a girl." she argued. Shizu pinched himself to make sure this wasn't a dream. "Ouch!" he yelled. Kino began to laugh at Shizu's strange behavior then smiled and grabbed his hand. "Let's go!" she pointed down the path. "I want to see the rest of the festival" she smiled. She then pulled a still confused Shizu down the path with her.
