Hey there! There is a very special day soon…my birthday!! I wish for…money!! A lot of it!! But I know it can only happen in my dreams. For now, let's continue on.

Katashi Aisu…his personality is somewhat a rip from Aoshi Shinomori in Rurouni Kenshin. But then he has a little wild side to him: a crush on Chikane. (They're STILL lesbians!) He belonged to a very rich family: the Aisu Clan (I'll use this name again in the future for another fanfic…). His story is kinda ironic because his last name and personality are like ice ("aisu" is "ice" in Japanese), yet he is the ninja of fire. I thought of that and I was all like "Heh…cool". Anyway, his family was killed by a very distant family member; he and that person are the only members of the Aisu Clan still alive. The person will come up very soon.

Yay, chocolates!!

Chapter 11

The boys came back from the Academy the following day, preparing to train. They dressed up in their color coordinated shinobi uniforms: Katashi with gold, Raido in green, Hikaru in purple, and Isamu in blue. Chikane met them outside as Himeko prepared inside the shrine.

And Souma followed her.

She finished praying to the gods as a sliding door quietly closed behind her. Himeko turned her head and found Souma Ohgami alone. For a moment, she had a feeling of uneasiness but greeted him politely.

"Hey, Souma. Ready to go?"

He didn't respond. Souma walked up to her, hanging his head low. His frying thoughts debated whether or not it was right to do it.

'Himemiya's not around…I gotta get it out of my system. I'm sorry…'

Souma directed his fierce hazel orbs at Himeko, who lightly gasped. She remembered seeing those eyes back then, when he asked her an important question…

"I love you, Himeko! I haven't stopped thinking about you since first year! These feelings I've had…didn't go away!!"

Himeko froze in shock. She believed Souma forgot his feelings for her back at the Academy…but she guessed wrong. "Souma…all these years, you…kept thinking about me…?"

His face turned red, unable to hold back his feelings. It was too late to take back anything, too late to apologize.

Souma's mind controlled his body against his will. He rushed up to Himeko and crushed his lips onto hers, becoming the dominant power. She couldn't move anywhere; Souma held her in place, capturing her mouth. His hands ran down Himeko's back, touching her at unnecessary places. The tongue wrestled with the locked lips for entrance, winning in the end. She tried to jerk her head away, but he wouldn't let go.

'Chikane!'

As the ninjas began passing through the dark portal, the lunar priestess looked around for Souma and Himeko.

'They're not here yet.'

Chikane's wandering eyes noticed a lone badger emerging from the forest. Dark rings covered its small eyes, lying on top of white fur. Its long nails dug into the ground, collecting dirt underneath as it walked over towards the shrine.

'A Kyuubi!? Himeko!'

She sped over to the shrine's entrance, hoping to protect the solar priestess from harm. The badger slipped in through the doors as Chikane reached out to open it.

But as she got closer, the lunar priestess caught some movement in the building. She slowed her pace, placing a hand on the door silently. Chikane moved her head to the small opening and peered in, falling upon a grievous sight.

Their eyes were closed as the cheeks turned into a deep red coating. Himeko lightly whimpered as Souma held her close. He softly groaned as he finally experienced the taste of her lips and charms. As they continued their extremely close encounter, Chikane's heart began to fall, shattering to millions of shards.

She backed away from the door, making the least noise as possible. Turning around, Chikane sprinted to the portal; her mind jumped back and forth from anger to despair, tiring her body.

'How!? WHY!? She and Souma…it doesn't make sense!!'

Chikane passed through the portal, shedding tears of hate and anguish.

The other pipsqueaks went to their realms as Katashi loitered around the entrance to Volca. He didn't give a single care about his training; he was strong enough to handle things…or so he believed.

Katashi began to think of the lunar priestess again. Her stern expressions, the perfect sized breasts; for some reason, he wanted it all. Ever since his family was killed…by his distant cousin…Katashi felt alone from childhood to teenage years. His crush for Chikane was his first sense of care or love after so long.

But he wondered if he was doing it right.

At that moment, a dark portal appeared beside him and Chikane Himemiya stepped through into the Nexus. Her form seemed limp, her cheeks streamed with salty tears, and her eyes were a pink hue.

"Miss Himemiya?"

She turned to her side and found Katashi Aisu looking upon her with concern. "Aisu…" Her voice was stifling. "You're supposed to be training."

"I was about to go…" Katashi lied. "Is there something I could help with?"

Chikane lightly shook her head, unaware that he slowly crept closer, breathing down her neck. All she could think of was her stumble upon Souma and Himeko's kiss. The lunar priestess began to twist her mind and thoughts, her beliefs and ideas wiped away.

The choking on tears began to subside. She faced Katashi, wiping away the water from her visage. The ninja adored her baby doll appearance; he wanted to take advantage of it.

"Aisu…" He cupped her chin with his thumb and index finger, drawing her face closer to his. The blue eyes entranced his; he snaked his other hand to her waist. Katashi didn't know what drew him to her, but he couldn't get out. Although he was aware of it, he never wondered why Chikane allowed him to kiss her…

Katashi got the answer the instant she slapped across his face. Chikane's palm excreted stinging pain on his cheek; it turned into a deep red color. He was lucky she didn't scratch him with her sharp nails.

"Get your fucking lips outta my face!!"

Chikane stormed away, cursing the existence of men under her breath. She tightly clenched her fist, digging her nails into her palm to pour out blood.

'Himeko…'

As she abandoned him, Katashi lightly rubbed his cheek, thinking of what he just tried to do. The desperate loneliness drove him to sexually harass Himemiya. He felt like the worst guy on the planet, wishing to go back in time…and save his family.

'Why did I turn out this way? She's already got Miss Kurusugawa…' He became lightly confused about the sexual orientation of the priestesses. Two maidens so beautiful…it sure took him by surprise.

Hanging his head, Katashi slowly walked into Volca, unaware of the sly foxes following his every move.
