After the pink haired woman calmed Sunny down enough to get him to eat, he was suddenly well enough to go look for Rin.

"she's probably in the kitchen- that's where all the children like to congregate." She said in a sweet voice as she walked with him, so he wouldn't get lost.

"all the children?" Sunny asked. Since he had been unconscious for the last few days he had no idea there were other kids.

"oh yes, there are 3 others- very nice little boys- I'm sure you'll be fast friends. Look there they are now!" she said outside the doors to the kitchen.

But Sunny was too mesmerized by the beauty of the estate. It was just massive, like nothing he had ever seen before, like a cross between a mansion and a church; with high ceilings and intricate details everywhere. This seemed like a fairy tale.

"Would you like me to go in with you?" she asked.

Sunny shook his head.

"Well ok, I'll probably see you again someday." she said skipping off without ever revealing her name.

Sunny looked through the window in the door. He could see Rin with 3 boys. She seemed so happy. He had not seen her genuinely happy on a long time. He opened the door quietly and went straight to the far corner, unsure of what to do next. He was now at least 50 feet away from the others. When something amazing happened; he could feel Rin's hair.

Rin was still 50 feet away. She felt her hair itch, as if a bug landed on her head.

Sunny could feel everything; every intricacy, from the cold marble of a counter, to the warmth of the wood stove more than 70 feet away, even the tiles of the ceiling were touchable. How was he doing this? It was as if he could feel the entire room.

Then Rin felt something stroke her cheek, it was like a piece of silk.

"what up Rin?" Toriko asked, as she seemed distracted. He suddenly felt a touch as well, like a series of strings or maybe a ghostly hand. It was a little creepy.

"Something's touching me!" said the taller boy, who Coco forced to introduced as Zebra (Zebra was not about to tell his name to just anyone).

"rin," Coco said, touching her cheek exactly where the tingling feeling was. "I think it's time for you to turn around."

Rin looked around the room until she spotted her now fully healed brother, "Sunny!" She ran to him, so happy she was shaking. "Your arms!" she was shocked that his body completely healed in such a short time, when at the local hospital he was nearly dead.

"and- your hair?..." she added. Sunny's hair was usually just past his shoulders, was now his colorful hair was all the way down his back. She reached out her hand to touch it, but it came to her instead, caressing her hand like a long lost friend. The texture was different; it felt like silk, pasta, wind and a million other textures that were not of this world.

Sunny's eyes were closed, as if drinking in all the tactile and emotional experiences around him. "I ...feel ...everything." he said in an exhale.

"You expect me to believe THAT's a boy?" Zebra shouted to no one in particular, interrupting Sunny's serenity.

"I mean - Look at IT!" he added, his disgust turning to anger- was this really his future teammate? There was no way this scrawny little runt was on his level.

"And IT's name is Sunny?!" Zebra that was the worst part; what kind of boy is named Sunny? He then felt an invisible slap to the face; like a massive gust of wind that knocked him to the ground.

"Don't touch me you freak!" he said getting up.

"he's not a freak!" Rin shouted back as strong as she could with her tiny voice. Sunny's hair was a blessing; it was mystical, powerful, and beautiful- he was already more than those other boys would ever be.

"i'm not touching you…." Sunny opened his eyes, but could not help but give a taunting smile.

"what did you say?!" Zebra was not going to take this.

"I'm -not-touching-you." this time Sunny started to walk towards the group. But instead of walking he appeared to be floating.

Zebra hated cocky people. He revved up his town power, a sonic boom-like attack. He was already sucking in the air around him, making every item in the room shake.

"stop..." coco said calmly holding up one hand. Both boys ceased using their powers. Coco had that kind of power over people. "Master Ichiryu would be most displeased if we trashed his kitchen."

"This is coco, he's a fortune teller!" Rin said happily. That was all coco told her at the time- it seemed like a more age-appropriate version of his powers. But he was so much more.

"And this is Toriko, he's super strong!" she said, getting visibly happier.

"hi." said Toriko, still mid bite on whatever else he pulled from the fridge. He had held on to the item for the last 5 minutes and perhaps would have all eaten it even if a fight broke out.

"and that's Zebra... he.." she could not really explain what the older, boy did with sound waves.

"I think your brother can figure that out." Coco said making his way to the tea kettle to make himself a simple cup of tea and perhaps grab a cookie. He was not as food or combat obsessed as the others and preferred to simply avoid confrontation through logic.

"sure," Sunny looked them all in the eye. Not that it mattered-, he was experiencing feelings and emotions he had never felt before. Maybe they would be friends later- maybe not. He would always have Rin's friendship so that mattered little. And in that moment his senses were so empowered, his mind was awash in pure happiness. At the very least this would be better than his old life.

For the next 4 years the real training begun; for the boys, their traditional schooling would be limited to just 2 hours a day, but for Rin- education was to be her only true power.
