I sat next to Rin the next morning and only played with my food. I would occasionally catch glances of Bon and some times I'd catch him glancing at me. Both of us were blushing furiously.

"Mornin' Okumura siblings! You get back to your room alright, Rin? And I must say that's some fine bed-head you got there." Shima said as he sat across from us.

"Don't 'member." Rin said.

"Oh and Utsukushi, did you eat anything last night you just stormed off."

I was slightly shocked that he was even talking to us, but then I remembered that he and I were really close as friends. "No, I wasn't hungry. Not too sure if I am now either."

Shima and Rin pulled a face, "You need to eat." They said dead seriously.

Leo walked in and looked at us, "Yo, Shima, Okumura-kun, Okumura-chan!" he sat next to Shima and smiled.

"Ok, what happened last night?" I asked, "Did you guys suddenly have your memories erased or am I in a different universe?"

Shima laughed, "No I realized how troublesome it was to try and avoid people I've come to care for and-" a scream started in the distance and became more and more pronounced, then Leo quickly ducked and Shima was kicked right in the face and flew across the room. The attacker was the blonde from yesterday.

"THERE HE IS!" the blonde shouted. I just looked over at Shima while Leo and Rin had they're eyes on the two men that just came in.

"The hell you doing outta the blue, Kin-nii?" Shima retorted.

"Huh? Wasn't that obviously a flying kick? You an idiot?" the blonde replied.

"YOU'RE THE IDIOT YOU FUCKING IDIOT!" Shima shouted.

"Renzou, great to see you looking as lively as ever."

I just stared in confusion until they turned to me and Rin.

"Oh, who are they? Hey aren't you the Exwire girl that helped Bon?" the blonde asked me. He smirked and leaned closer, "Pretty cute for an Exwire."

I glared at my food, "I'm not cute."

"Kin-nii, these are my friends, Okumura Rin, "He patted Rin's shoulder while he still was in shock of what happened, "Leo Raine," he gestured to Leo, who waved politely but he was sweating at the turn of events. "And Okumura Utsukushi."

Their eyes grew wide, "Okumura Utsukushi? Fujimoto's little girl?"

I nodded, "I'm Kinzou the fourth son of the Shima branch."

"Juuzou, nice bed hair by the way." He pointed to Rin's head.

"Renzou's the youngest and he's a real perv. Let's have fun together!"

Shima waved his brother off and looked to us, "Hey, we get a free day today so you guys wanna go swim?" Leo said.

"Huh?" was Rin's normal genius reply.

"Yeah! It's hot outside so what do you say to inviting some girls over for some fun in the pool?" Shima added with the usual pervy grin.

I looked at him in disgust, "Shima, do I need to remind you what happened last time you said something like that in my presence?"

He gulped, "Yeah, Kamiki and Paku were attacked by a ghoul."

"Rin, what happened to 'training yesterday?" Shura said as she yanked him up.

"Dunno, my memories break off halfway."

"Yer just being lazy."

"The reason might be cause you mixed up the drinks?" Shima added.

"…Jeez! Everything boils down to you not having enough training! I'm gonna train you hard today."

"But we were gonna go swim." Leo whined.

"And you're in a position to go play in a pool because…?" Shura whispered angrily to him.

"I'm not." He said defeated.

"My bad today's no good someday we'll definitely-"

"No biggie, man some other time." Shima stated.

"Ne, Kushi-chan do you have to train?" Leo added hopefully.

"No, I'm finished," I stated normally.

"Now how've you been I haven't seen you since you were two!" Kinzou said to me.

"Fine really." I smiled.

"You and your brother were one of a kind from what I heard about you last. Fujimoto's death must've hit you pretty hard, I don't see you pulling on Bon's hair any more." Juuzou stated with an apparently classic-Shima-family grin.

"It did, and I honestly don't remember meeting Bon before I came to True Cross academy."

"Wait you knew Bon before?" Shima added.

"That seems odd… Tell us more." Both Leo and Shima leaned towards me expecting details.

"I just said I don't remember anything from that, I was two." They then leaned to the other two at the table.

"She played with you too. Fujimoto came over to brag about having three kids that could inherit the church he had and brought the middle child. While the heads were in a meeting she roamed around and found us playing with Renzou, Bon, and Konekomaru. She was really shy at first but eventually she was all over Bon. She liked to tease him and mess with his hair." Juuzou let out a laugh.

"She stayed for a few days then left. You guys cried when she did." Kinzou added to Shima with a smirk.

Shima grinned, "Sweet! Now I can call you a childhood friend!"

I smiled and laughed, "I guess so."

"Aw, so you guys knew each other before? I'm jealous~" Leo whined.

Shima just smirked proudly. I laughed at his pose.

I walked around the pool with a towel around me, then looked at Shima, "This isn't Holy Water is it?"

"Naw, Holy waters only used for exorcism, what made you think that?"

I shrugged, "I don't know an inn full of exorcists made it pop up."

He laughed at me.

"Hey guys come on in!" Leo did the back stroke past us and was spitting a small stream of water. I giggled at him.

Shima looked at me, "I guess Kirigakure-sensei was right. You seem to be putting up walls, you seem a lot like the way you were during the first class we had together." He smirked and pulled off my towel before pushing me into the pool, "Don't expect me to treat you the same as back then though!" he said as I came back up.

I spat water in a steady stream of water at him, "I never expected you to." I got out and ran after him. "Come here! I just want to pay you back!" I purred.

He was laughing and running away. He ran into Leo who grabbed him and took them both in the water. I laughed and followed after them.

"So I see you all had the same idea." Kamiki said as she walked in.

"Yep, Rin was supposed to be here too but he had training." Leo said from the edge of the pool.

"Nice bikini, Izumo-chan~" Shima added.

She blushed, "Shut it you pest."

I giggled, "Aren't you gonna come in?" I asked. "He can't see you as well if you're underwater."

She smirked and began running, she jumped and did a cannonball near Shima. She came up to look at his look of fear.

I laughed and tackled Leo, "Piggy back!" he held me tightly then began swimming underwater. We ended up near the other two.

"It's more of a 'Lion back' when it's him isn't it?" Shima stated with a grin.

Leo stared at Shima with a smirk, "And for you it's a 'Cat-in-heat back' right?"

We all laughed at it, even Izumo.

"It's almost as if they never found out... Or they always knew.'
