Big thanks to ZK Chromedragozoid, for letting me use his character!
Chapter 2
Kyo was heading to the bathroom. He let out a big yawn then crashed into the guy in front of him. They both fell over. Kyo rubbed the back of his head and said, "Gomen, Yuusuke, I didn't see you there."
"It's okay, Kyo. Do you have any ideas what's going on here?" asked Yuusuke.
"I guess it's because of the girls taking up the other dorm. Now all the guys have to share a bathroom."
"Found you!" exclaimed a voice.
Kyo and Yuusuke turned around to see Ichiban-Boshi. He was dressed in a white suit, with a red rose in his jacket pocket and a crystal pendant around his neck. "What's with that outfit of your's, Ichiban-Boshi?" asked Kyo, holding back his laughter.
"I can't lose to the popular Kyo and Yuusuke, so I'm going for it as well. Behold! My magnificent rose accessory and my lucky crystal pendant! Now the girls' hearts will be under my control!" laughed Ichiban-Boshi. Kyo couldn't hold it in and just burst out laughing.
"Please tell me you're not serious?" pleaded Yuusuke. A very strong odor filled their noses. "What is that horrible smell?!" They then noticed Tenjin walk in, literally wearing bottles of cologne. "Tenjin, what the hell are you doing?!"
"Don't come any closer," warned Kyo.
"Girls like a good fragrance," said Tenjin as he put some more cologne on.
"Hey, where is Bacchi-Gu?" asked Kyo, still holding his nose.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bacchi-Gu was dancing around the cafeteria, without pants on. The only thing covering him was a bushel of bananas. "Good morning, ladies! Welcome to Kanenone Gakuen! Have some of our cafeterias finest bananas!" he started putting bananas on the girls' heads. The girls screeched in terror. Kyo, Yuusuke, Tenjin, and Ichiban-Boshi ran towards the scream. When they arrived they peeked their heads around the corner to see what was happening.
"It's him!" said Kyo.
"I knew it! He left us out to dry!" yelled Ichiban-Boshi.
"Unforgivable!" exclaimed Tenjin as he pulled out a bucket that said 'Little Sister' on it. He started to put rice into a bowl and went around sniffing the girls' hair then eating some rice. This caused Kyo and Yuusuke to sweat-drop.
'He's at it again' they thought.
"Well then, how shall I make my move…?" said Ichiban-Boshi as he looked through a magazine.
"What's going on here?" asked a voice.
Kyo, Yuusuke, and Ichiban-Boshi turned around to see Futaba and Wakaba staring at the boys. Ichiban-Boshi's face lit up when he saw Futaba. "Futaba-chan! Good morning Futaba-chan!" he pulled out a rose and asked, in a very suave manner, "Futaba-chan, Wakaba-chan, how about a morning stroll with me?" he threw the rose at Futaba. She caught it then threw it back at him. The pointed end of the stem cut into his tongue. This caused him to scream and fall over. Midori and Mahiro walked in. Midori noticed Yuusuke and ran up to him.
"Good morning, Yuusuke-kun," she said as she smiled at Yuusuke. Mahiro walked up to Kyo and wrapped her arms around his arm, causing him to blush. Tenjin walked up behind Midori and pushed her closer to Yuusuke.
"Good morning to you too!" said Tenjin.
Bacchi-Gu pushed Yuusuke closer to Midori. "You two are starting the morning awfully touchy-feely!"
"What?!" asked Yuusuke. This caused Tenjin and Bacchi-Gu to laugh.
Midori looked Yuusuke right in the eyes and said, with a giant smile on her face, "Good morning!"
"G-good morning…" replied Yuusuke, blushing slightly. Ichiban-Boshi pushed Yuusuke out of the way.
"Midori-chan! You'll eat bananas with us right? Since we're best friends with Yuusuke!?" asked the Baka Trio.
"C'mon you guys…" said Yuusuke.
"The three of you better stop…" warned Kyo. Futaba was fuming, ready to burst.
"Yeah!" replied Midori.
"As expected!" said Ichiban-Boshi.
"Midori-chan is such a good girl" said Tenjin.
"All the other girls will eat breakfast with us too, right?!" called Bacchi-Gu.
"Now let's eat breakfast!" proclaimed Tenjin.
"Yes, let's. Futaba-chan, will you eat with us?" asked Ichiban-Boshi.
Futaba replied by punching Ichiban-Boshi in the face, kicking Tenjin in the chin, and punching Bacchi-Gu, which sent them a flying. "Are you okay?" asked Midori.
"I tried to warn them…" said Kyo, sighing deeply.
Futaba sighed and said, "Let's go Wakaba."
"Hai, onee-sama" replied Wakaba as they left.
"She certainly has a lot of spirit" said Kyo, laughing slightly. He turned back towards the Baka Trio. "Are you three idiots all right?"
"Hurts, but feels good…" began Bacchi-Gu.
"Scary…" added Tenjin. 'I'll just stick with Sanae-chan.'
"Ah, Futaba-chan…" ended Ichiban-Boshi, a large smile on his face.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kyo and Yuusuke were walking to class. "Kyo, you're so lucky," said Yuusuke.
"What do you mean?" asked Kyo.
"With all the girls at our school I have to share my room with Bacchi-Gu and the others, and you don't even have a roommate."
"That's not true. I talked to the Principal this morning and he said I'm supposed to be getting a roommate today, some guy named Ryuki Leonard Narukawa."
"Yuusuke-kun!" called a voice from behind them. They turned around to see Midori and Mahiro running toward them.
"Hey Yuusuke, here comes your girlfriend" snickered Kyo.
"Shut up!" yelled Yuusuke as the girls arrived.
"Mind if we walk with you?" asked the girls.
"I don't mind at all" said Kyo, wrapping his arm around Mahiro's waist. This caused Mahiro to giggle.
"I don't mind…" said Yuusuke, a little unsure.
They continued to walk when Midori asked, "Hey, did you remember yet?"
"Remember?" questioned Yuusuke, confused.
"Yes, about that time…"
"What? Don't talk about things that I don't understand. You're weird." Midori seemed saddened by his response. Kyo punched Yuusuke in the head. "What was that for?!"
"You should never make a girl sad" lectured Kyo, shaking his finger as if disciplining a child.
Midori smiled and asked Yuusuke, "can I come with you to the getabako?" (The getabako is a locker room were street shoes are stored when changing into school shoes.)
"Sure."
They continued to walk while Kyo and Mahiro stopped. "Do you have any idea what they were talking about?" asked Kyo.
"I have no idea. That Midori girl confuses me sometimes."
Midori and Yuusuke didn't seem to notice Reika watching them. And she had no idea that the Baka Trio was watching her through binoculars. "She is so hot."
"It's great to have girls around, isn't it?" asked Tenjin.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It looked like every other classroom, except most classes didn't have a sword on the wall. Yuusuke was sitting between Futaba and Midori. Ichiban-Boshi sat behind him. Behind Futaba was Mahiro, and next to Ichiban-Boshi was Kyo. Tenjin and Bacchi-Gu were elsewhere in the classroom.
"Listen up, everyone; we have a new student joining us today. His name is Ryuki Leonard Narukawa. Please come in, Narukawa-san!" called the teacher.
The boy in question walked in. He was wearing the standard male uniform but with an additional black jacket on and a scarf. His hair was straight and pulled into a ponytail with two bangs sticking out. His hair was auburn and his eyes were emerald green. He also had on a pair of green goggles strapped to his head. He bowed.
"Konnichiwa," he greeted, smiling widely, "and please call me Leo." Most of the girls became starry-eyed, while the Baka Trio just glared at him.
'Great, more competition!' thought the Baka Trio.
He walked back and took the empty seat behind Kyo. Midori waved at him and he waved back. She then turned to Yuusuke and waved at him. He thought that she was waving at Futaba and turned to her. Futaba just glared at them. Midori didn't take much notice and continued to wave. Bacchi-Gu was writing something down on a piece of paper. 'I wonder what he's doing…' thought Kyo.
'Probably something very perverted,' replied a voice in his head.
'I hate to admit it, but you're probably right.' Kyo's train of thought was interrupted by a large crash coming from outside. "What was that?!" yelled Kyo. Everyone looked outside the window to see a large armored lizard-like creature with a sword causing havoc.
'This isn't good' thought Leo.
Kyo turned his attention towards the teacher. "Hey, sensei! Toss me my sword!" The teacher nodded his head and threw the sword on the wall to Kyo. Kyo smirked, "Time to have some fun." He unsheathed his blade and jumped out the window towards the creature, throwing off his sunglasses on the way down. He slashed his blade but the creature blocked. 'What is this thing?'
Everyone was being evacuated from the classroom, so no one noticed when Leo slipped away.
The creature slashed at Kyo with its own blade as Kyo blocked with his. This creature, whatever it was, was pretty good with a sword but Kyo had to do all he could to put it down. Seeing an opening, he stabbed his sword into where the creature's heart should be. He smirked but then became shocked when the creature was ready to decapitate him. It was still alive. Quickly withdrawing his sword, which was stained by the creature's green blood, he jumped back before he became a head shorter.
"Okay, just what is this thing?" Kyo said in confusion. The creature came at him again but then…
"RAIJIN!"
A lightning bolt came down upon the creature, electrocuting it and sending it flying. Kyo turned to look at where the voice came from and was surprised.
Standing not too far away was a man clad in blue armor with a silver chestplate. He wore a blue bodysuit with silver armor plating on his forearms and shins. The helmet was blue with a silver faceplate and green eyes and held a single horn. The emblem on his chest looked like the symbol for the Spades suit like on playing cards but also held an insignia that looked like a dragon. On his left hip was an intricate sword with a dragonhead shaped hilt on it. He drew his sword and announced, "I am the hero that shall create a path to his destiny with the slash of his blade. I am the Legendary Advent Knight, Draco! Tenzan!"
Kyo sweat-dropped, 'Just where did this guy get his lines?'
Draco charged at the creature and a sword fight began. Kyo was impressed by the amount of skill that Draco was showing as he swung his sword around to slash at the creature repeatedly. The creature did get its second wind and began slashing at Draco who blocked with his sword before kicking it in the chest and then sending a surge of electricity through its body, which once again sent it flying. Draco then pulled another trick.
"FUUJIN!" Draco swung his sword and sent blades of concentrated wind at the creature, slashing at it and sending green blood splashing. Draco then sheathed his sword and then leapt up before delivering a devastating flying kick into the creature, this time powered by wind and electricity. The creature fell from the attack with bolts of electricity running over its body. Kyo then watched as the armored warrior drew a blank card with a red back and threw it at the creature. The card got stuck on the creature's chest by its corner before, much to Kyo's surprise again, the creature vanished in a swirl of green energy and was sucked into the card before it spun and flew back to Draco's hand. Draco nodded and turned to walk away.
"Hey, wait!" Kyo called, but Draco didn't stop. He turned a corner and Kyo followed after him but then he was gone. "What the?" Kyo sheathed his sword and walked back to class, avoiding eye contact so no one would see his red eyes. 'This is really getting weird. Who was that guy, and what was that thing. That guy was good with a sword, that's for sure.'
'That's true, but what about that creature?' asked the voice in his head.
'Don't know. It could be one of the Mibu's creations.'
'If that's true then I think Nobunaga might be getting desperate.'
Kyo's train of thought was once again interrupted when Midori ran up to him with his sunglasses. "Here you go Kyo-kun" said Midori with a smile.
"Thanks, Midori-san" nodded Kyo as he put his sunglasses back on. "Let's get back to class."
'This Midori girl is pretty hot. I say you dump Mahiro and start dating her' said the voice in Kyo's head.
'Watch it old man!' warned Kyo.
'She just has such a great…' began the voice, but was stopped when Kyo punched himself in the head.
"Ow!" exclaimed Kyo as he held the side of his face.
'Did you really think that that would hurt me? It's your body remember.'
'Shut up old man!'
"Kyo-kun, are you okay?" asked Midori.
"Yeah, I'm fine."
They walked into the classroom to see all the girls reading a piece of paper on their desks. They all seemed confused. Kyo then noticed the Baka Trio standing at the front of the class, with Bacchi-Gu standing on the desk. 'What could they have planned?'
"Attention ladies! We're having you answer a questionnaire so we can get to know you better!"
A girl started reading the questions aloud, "Let's see… Question one: Please write down which part of your body do you clean first in the bath. Question two: Please write down the color, shape and smell of the panties you are wearing today. Question three: Please describe your sex appeal in twenty words or less." She started laughing and blushing.
"You didn't have to read it aloud…" said Futaba.
"Girls, please put these on my desk once you're finished answering them!" called Bacchi-Gu.
"Are you guys dumb?" asked Futaba as she started ripping up her questionnaire.
"Ah, Futaba-chan!" yelled Ichiban-Boshi.
"To be good friends, isn't it best to know the other person well?!" added Bacchi-Gu.
"There is no way anyone would answer something like this" said Yuusuke. Kyo nodded his head in agreement. Then Midori and Mahiro walked up to them with the questionnaires.
"Hey guys, will this do?" asked the girls handing them their questionnaires.
"What?!" yelled Kyo and Yuusuke as they grabbed the girls sheets.
"You actually answered them?!" yelled Kyo.
"That's great Mahiro-chan and Midori-chan! Let us see!" said the Baka Trio.
"No you can't! Not this one!" exclaimed Yuusuke, refusing to hand over Midori's paper.
"You're not getting Mahiro's either" added Kyo.
"No fair! You can't keep them all to yourselves!" Yuusuke and Kyo replied by ripping up the questionnaires. "That's just wrong! Reading them and then tearing them up!"
"What are you talking about? I didn't read it" said Yuusuke. Then his nose started bleeding, indicating a perverted thought.
"So you did read it!" exclaimed the Baka Trio.
"Busted Yuusuke" laughed Kyo. Then his nose started to bleed.
"Kyo!" exclaimed Mahiro.
"Wait Mahiro, I can explain!" said Kyo.
Futaba walked up to Mahiro and Midori and said, "Come outside for a sec."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Why did you write something like that?" asked Futaba.
"Because they said that they wanted to be friends with the girls" answered Midori, innocently.
"Right" added Mahiro.
"And you want to be friends with them!?" asked Futaba.
"Yeah!" replied the two girls.
"That's impossible! And by the way, you're getting too close to the boys. Nothing good comes from encouraging them."
"We're just trying to be friends with Yuusuke-kun and Kyo-kun…" said Midori and Mahiro, sheepishly.
"They're with those three. You can never tell what they're thinking" said Futaba.
"They aren't like that!" yelled Midori and Mahiro.
"What's up with you two?" questioned Futaba. She turned and walked away. "Anyway, be careful."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Leo was walking to the dorms when he noticed a girl sitting on a bench. He decided to go introduce himself. "Konnichiwa," said Leo as he bowed. "My name is Leo, what's your's?"
The girl was very shy, blushing when Leo asked her for her name. "My… my name is Sanae Minami," said the girl.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Minami-san," said Leo, smiling. They began talking but didn't realize that Tenjin was watching them, his face turning red with anger.
'How dare he!? How dare he try to hit on my Sanae-chan!? You'll pay for this, Narukawa!'
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kyo was walking around. Midori and everyone else had gone to back to their dorms. "Just who was that guy?" That was driving Kyo insane, same thing with the creature. "What was that thing? I didn't get the same feeling like when the Mibu are around." He stopped in his tracks and looked around, picking up a rock. "Like the feeling I'm getting right now!" he threw the rock in the bushes but it was stopped. "Why don't you two come out?"
"Hi there Kyo♥!" said a girl happily. She jumped out of the bushes. She was dressed as a nurse and had long pink hair. Another girl followed her; she too was dressed like a nurse and had short black hair.
"Now who are you two?" asked Kyo. 'Shit, why here? I was hoping that this far out into the country they wouldn't find me.'
"We're the Devils in White, Saishi and Saisei of the Five Stars!" replied the girls.
"What do you two want?" asked Kyo, wishing that he had his sword with him.
"We just came to say hi," said Saisei in her sexiest voice.
"And to tell you that you have only a few weeks to surrender to the Mibu or we'll send someone even worse to deal with you…" added Saishi. They went up and gave Kyo a hug. He did his best to restrain himself, knowing that we couldn't stand a chance without his sword. They each kissed Kyo on the cheek leaving lipstick marks. They then backed away and vanished. Kyo wiped the lipstick marks off his face.
Then Bacchi-Gu and Ichiban-Boshi ran up to him. "Kyo, who were those babes!?"
"No one," replied Kyo, still angry. "I'm going to go hang-out. I'll talk to you guy's later," said Kyo as he walked away.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All the girls were in the common room, complaining about the heat. "It's so hot… This dorm has no air-conditioning…" complained Futaba, fanning herself. "Not to mention, the washroom used to be the guys' bathroom. I was hoping that the laundry facilities would be better, but it turns out the washing machines have been broken for the past two years. And as a bonus, PC's are out of range. I think I'm going to faint from boredom." She turned her attention to her younger sister, Wakaba, and asked, "Hey, what are you doing?"
"I'm giving Togemura-san some supper," replied Wakaba. Togemura was her potted cactus.
Midori and Mahiro were talking to Sanae. "So, Sanae-chan, what do you think of Leo-kun?" asked Midori, in her cheerful voice.
"He was…" Sanae began to blush. "He was really nice and kind of cute…" said Sanae sheepishly.
"That is so kawaii!" said Mahiro. "You have a crush on him!" Sanae's face turned a deep shade of red, and then grabbed her pill case and took one with some water. "Sorry I didn't mean for that to happen," apologized Mahiro.
"It's no problem. I really wish that it wasn't as hot though," said Sanae.
Dr. Chigusa then spoke up, "The bath might spark some interest among you."
All the girls ran toward the bath. When they arrived they smiled. "It looks really good!" shouted one of the girls.
"But we have to take turns with the boys, right?" asked Futaba.
"Don't worry, you girls get it first" said Dr. Chigusa. "You have until supper, so take your time."
"Why don't you go with us, sensei?" asked one of the girls.
"I went earlier." Dr. Chigusa then turned and left.
"At least they have a screen…" said Futaba.
"Let's get in," suggested Mahiro. All the girls nodded in agreement and got undressed. They then slowly entered the tub.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ichiban-Boshi, Bacchi-Gu and Tenjin were climbing up the rocks trying to peek in on the girls. Yuusuke was at the bottom of the hill staring up at the three of them. 'How did I get dragged along?' "Hey stop it! If we get caught we'll be in deep trouble!" warned Yuusuke.
"I want to know more about the girls!" said the Baka Trio, climbing over each other to get to the top of the hill.
"Now for the special place I prepared just for today…" He moved some bushes to reveal an eye sized hole for them to look through. He yelled in excitement as he watched the girls.
"This is a nice bath, right, onee-chan?" asked Wakaba.
"It sure is," replied Futaba. Reika then stepped through the door.
"There she is!" exclaimed Bacchi-Gu. She removed her towel but she was blocked by a leaf. "Stupid leaf," said Bacchi-Gu as he tried to get the leaf out of the way.
"Hey, Sanae-chan isn't the water too hot?" asked Wakaba.
"No, it's actually really good" replied Sanae.
Tenjin heard Sanae and pushed Bacchi-Gu out of the way. "Oh, my dear, sweet Sanae" said Tenjin. Then Ichiban-Boshi pushed Tenjin out of the way.
"Hey, let me see too!" Ichiban-Boshi then smiled as he saw Futaba. "Futaba-chan!"
"What the hell are you three doing?" asked a voice.
The Baka Trio turned and saw Kyo reading his book. "Kyo! How long have you been here?!"
"Long enough," replied Kyo. He looked pretty angry.
Futaba then left and Midori walked in. "It's Midori-chan!"
Yuusuke began to climb up the hill, "I really think we should stop this!"
"Don't worry, you're up next!" said the Baka Trio as they pulled him up and pressed him near the hole. He did his best to push away.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you…" warned Kyo, as the wall creaked.
"Guys, knock it off!" yelled Yuusuke. Midori heard his voice and looked around.
The wall began to crack and eventually fell over, taking the Baka Trio, Yuusuke, and Kyo with it. All the girls screamed, while Midori and Mahiro just looked mad, thinking that Kyo and Yuusuke were peeping on them.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Leo was in his dorm room and reading a new recipe book he had borrowed from the library. He had yet to meet his new roommate personally, only knew his name was Kyo, but was then surprised by several female screams. Sensing danger, he took out his bokken from behind his pillow and pulled on his jacket to investigate. As a samurai, it was his duty to defend the innocent and right now he had innocents to protect.
"Okaasan said this; the cries for help should never be ignored!" he quoted as he rushed out of the room while pulling his goggles over his eyes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"No, wait! It's not what you think!" yelled Kyo as he crawled forward, causing the guys to fall into the bath. He then turned his attention toward the Baka Trio. "I'm going to hurt you for this" threatened Kyo. They didn't notice. They were dancing around in the bathwater. That is, until Futaba smacked them all on the head with a broom.
Once they regained consciousness they found themselves tied up and upside-down. The boys were behind them and the girls were in front. Midori looked at Yuusuke. "Yuusuke-kun?!"
"I told you he was one of them…" said Futaba.
"How the hell did I get involved?! I was just reading!" yelled Kyo, trying to get out of the ropes. Bacchi-Gu started swinging in his ropes, trying to look up Futaba's skirt. She just kneed him in the face.
"Ow…" said Bacchi-Gu.
"I refuse to let the guys bathe here," said Futaba.
"So the guys don't get to take a bath?" asked Tenjin.
"I'm not leaving here until the guys go back," said Futaba. "Right, Wakaba?"
"Hai, onee-sama!"
"What are you girls talking about? Yeah, we were looking forward to bathing in the girls' bathwater!" complained the guys.
"You guys are truly the worst!" yelled one of the girls.
"Keep it down!" came a voice from behind the girls. They moved out of the way for Souchou to walk through. "I got the basic story. We'll settle this with Kanenone Gakuen's traditional Sashi Match! Who are the leaders of you five?"
"It's Kyo and Yuusuke!" proclaimed the Baka Trio.
"I'm going to kill you for that!!!" yelled Kyo, trying to attack the Baka Trio.
"It's just Yuusuke! Yuusuke!" yelled the Baka Trio, hoping to protect themselves from Kyo.
"No! No it's not me!" said Yuusuke. He was cut from his ropes then fell into the water.
Souchou walked up to him. "You'll go against Kutsuki!" Futaba stepped forward. "If Takazaki loses, then we'll leave this place!" He then produced a key from his pocket. "Whoever gets the key first wins!" he threw the key into the water. "Go!" Futaba and Yuusuke jumped into the water, searching for the key. Yuusuke was the first to find the key.
"I found it!" yelled Yuusuke, but he lost it when shower buckets and bars of soap were thrown at him. Both he and Futaba dove for the key. "I got it!" said Yuusuke when he came out of the water. He then noticed Futaba's shirt had become see-through, caused a nose bleed, making him let go of the key. Futaba jumped for it and caught the key, winning.
"Kutsuki wins!" yelled Souchou. All the guys cheered though, because Futaba's shirt was still see-through. She blushed and Yuusuke got in front of her.
"Throw me a towel!" called Yuusuke. He then wrapped the towel around Futaba's shoulders.
"I didn't ask you to do that!" yelled Futaba. Yuusuke sighed and got up. He walked away from everyone. 'I guess he's not as bad as I thought.'
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All the guys were complaining about how cold it was. "Here! You guys get in too!" said Souchou as he kicked Yuusuke, Kyo, and the Baka Trio into the water.
"I'm still going to kill you…" said Kyo to the Baka Trio.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The girls were already on their way back to their dorm rooms when Leo saw them. He then asked them, "I heard screaming. What happened?"
Sanae saw Leo and blushed before hiding behind Mahiro.
"Oh, Leo, it's just some of the boys being boys," she told the boy.
"Oh, really?" Leo said before he noticed Sanae. "Oh, Minami-san."
"Hello, sempai," Sanae said shyly.
"Are you alright? You seemed a little red," he inquired with concern.
"I'm…fine," she said, trying to hide herself. He was nice, not like the other boys, but she was still a little shy.
"So, are you all going back to the dorms?" Leo asked. "Then allow me to escort you ladies."
"That really isn't necessary," Mahiro said.
"Okaasan said this; a gentleman must always defend a lady, or in this case ladies," he quoted. "Now, shall we?"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kyo returned to his dorm room and sneezed. He then noticed his new roommate. "Hey, you must be my new roommate. Narukawa, right?"
"Hai," Leo nodded. "My friends call me Leo."
"Cool. Call me Kyo."
"Hai, Kyo-san," Leo noticed. Kyo noticed the stack of cook books on Leo's bed but what really caught his eye was the bokken lying next to Leo.
"Hey, you practice kendo too," Kyo said.
"Hai," Leo said, "Okaasan tried to get me into fencing, but the clothes were a bit too tight on me. It wasn't very comfortable. So, she instead got me into kendo and I fell in love with it. I carry the bokken around as a good luck charm."
"Can I hold it?" Kyo asked. Leo smiled and handed the bokken over to Kyo. "Wow, this is really good workmanship."
"Okaasan only allows me to get the best," Leo said as he continued to read.
"So, you like reading cook books?" Kyo asked as he sat on a chair.
"Hai," Leo nodded. "To me, cooking is an art form. I dream of becoming a world class chef one day."
"It's good to have dreams," Kyo agreed.
"Did something happen between you and the girls?" Leo asked. Kyo blushed and growled a bit. "Is it something too personal?"
"No, just some people I know being bakas, that's all."
"I see," Leo said. "Kyo-san, I'm a bit new here and also a little lonely. I've only spoken to a few people but have yet to make any really close relations, save Minami-san. Could I meet your friends?"
Kyo nodded. He needed someone sane to be around. He only had Yuusuke and the Baka Trio outnumbered the two sensible boys. Leo appeared sensible (but a little bit naïve) but he could see that Leo could even things out. "Sure. I must warn you though you may regret it. What did you think of that thing attacking school today?"
"It certainly seemed odd. I was wondering, who were those two nurses that you were talking to earlier?"
Kyo's eyes widened behind his sunglasses. "So you saw that, huh? Don't put too much thought into it. Just some faces from the past that I wasn't too happy to see."
"Hai, I won't. That creature was frightening though. I'm just glad no one got hurt. I heard you tried to fight it. That was quite brave of you, Kyo-san."
Kyo sighed, "Tried being the operative word. I couldn't even kill it when someone just came along and did the job for me."
"Who?" Leo inquired.
"You might think this sounds crazy, but it was a guy in a suit of armor and he just sealed the creature into a card before he walked away. He vanished before I could even talk to him."
"Well, you might see him again," Leo spoke knowingly.
"Well, maybe," He then asked, "Hey, I heard you were escorting the girls to their dorms. Why?"
"I have my reasons," Leo spoke cryptically before turning another page of his book.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Sanae and Wakaba)
"C'mon, Sanae-chan! Just admit that you have a crush on Narukawa-san!" yelled Wakaba.
"I… I think…I really like him," Sanae blushed and hid under her blanket.
Wakaba smiled and turned to her cactus. "What do you think, Togemura-san?" The cactus seemingly squeaked in reply.
(Futaba)
"I can't believe those idiot boys. I guess some of them aren't too bad. Kyo didn't seem that bad to me. I think that he just got mixed up in everything. Same with Takazaki. I think he just got dragged along. And that Narukawa guy, he's pretty cute, and really sweet. He volunteered to escort us back to our dorms. Then again he could have just asked to see where each of our rooms were." She sighed, "I can't wait for these next few weeks to be over."
(Midori and Mahiro)
Mahiro screamed in delight, "I'm so glad to be with Kyo again!"
"You must really like him, huh, Mahiro-chan?" asked Midori.
"Yeah."
"How did you two meet?"
"It all started about a year ago. I was running from someone and I ran into an alleyway. Following me into the alley were a group of three guys, the youngest of whom was at least 17 said, 'Why you running sweetie? We just want to have some fun…' They slowly advanced on me when a trashcan lid crashed into the leaders head. 'Get away from her!' said a voice. It was Kyo, preparing to draw his blade. 'Fuck you!' shouted the leader, who then shot at him. Drawing his blade he easily cut the bullets in half. They charged at him. He took care of the youngest with a quick punch to the stomach followed by a chop to the back of the neck, knocking him out. The second one got a little too close so with a quick movement he kneed him in the gut, followed by a roundhouse kick to the head, incapacitating him. The leader pulled a knife and charged hoping to stab him. He dodged and let him run straight into the wall behind me. I thanked him and ran off. But I forgot my bag. When I arrived he knocked on the door. He gave me the bag and I invited him in. After talking for a while we became quick friends. We started eventually going on dates. And that's how we met!"
"That was such a great story, Mahiro-chan!" said Midori.

(Kyo and Leo)
Kyo snickered, "So you like that Sanae girl?"
"Hai, she is a very nice person," replied Leo, not turning away from his book.
"You know, my friend Tenjin has a crush on her," said Kyo. "He probably saw you two together and thought that you were trying to steal her away from him."
"Is she really going out with him?"
"No, but he didn't really think that far ahead."
Leo sneezed. 'Someone must be talking about me.'
(The Baka Trio)
"This plan is perfect! Narukawa won't know what hit him! This plan is fool proof!" exclaimed the Baka Trio.
"That's impossible, you three are involved," said Yuusuke.
"I'll get you, Narukawa! You'll pay for tying to steal my dear Sanae-chan!" yelled Tenjin.

"So, those are Kyo's friends. They shouldn't pose any threat," said a man. He had silvery blue hair that seemed to flow like water. He was a little shorter than six feet tall. "I will send a small group of troops out tomorrow night to gauge his powers."
"Shinrei-san… you really shouldn't be doing this. Lord Nobunaga gave us specific orders. We are to let Kyo come on his own. And if he doesn't then we take him in by force," said the large man next to him.
"I know, Taihaku-sama. However, Lord Nobunaga sent me here to gauge Kyo's strength, not to bring him in," replied Shinrei.
"Alright, Shinrei, I shall leave you to plot" said Taihaku as he disappeared.
(Kyo's dorm)
'This isn't good. I feel the Mibu close by. What could they be planning?' thought Kyo.
"What's wrong, Kyo-san?" asked Leo.
"It's nothing, don't worry about it."
