"Kyo! Kyo, dinner's ready!"

I kept yelling, but it seemed to no avail. Yuki and Shigure sat at the kotatsu, looking very annoyed.

"He's always late", murmured Yuki. "He should starve."

"I am soooooooooo hungry," whined Shigure, as we heard his stomach rumble. "He's keeping us from our precious Tohru food!"

"You know, I don't remember Kyo coming back from the dojo," I said.

Yuki nodded in agreement. "That's right, he hasn't come back home. C'mon Tohru let's go get him."

Yuki got up and started to get his coat on. I did the same.

"What?! But what about the food! It's going to get cold! And I'm already hungry!" complained Shigure, as we started to leave.

Yuki glared at him. "Not one nibble of food is to be eaten when we're gone!" With that we left.

When we got to Kazuma's dojo, there were crowds of people there. I spotted Uotani with Hana in the crowd. I rushed over to them.

"What's going on?" I yelled over the crowd's noise.

"Kyon-Kyon got into a fight with this skilled hottie! They've been at it for hours!" yelled Uotani.

"Yes, it appears Kyo and his opponet are well matched," said Hana. "It seems that both Kyo and the enemy have the same electric waves..."

Yuki and I pushed through the people until we came to the front. I could see Kyo fighting against a boy, his own age, with the exact same color of hair. As I looked around, I saw Kagura. I walked over to her.

"What are you doing here?" I asked.

"I'm here to support my loved one!" Kagura cried. "Go Kyo!"

We both started to cheer for Kyo. It was a very intense match. Both were evenly skilled like Uotani and Hana had said. It kept going on and on. As I started to get hungry, I walked back to where Yuki was.

"Do you want me to get something for you from the vending machine?" I asked.

He shook his head. He was really engaged in the fight.

I went over to the vending machine and started to decide what I was going to get. After a while of pondering, a voice said behind my shoulder, "Get the pockies, they're really good."

I looked behind me and saw a boy with black hair. He was smiling a sad smile at me. He seemed kind of depressed.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you," the boy said.

"Oh, no, you didn't," I said, blushing.

He stuck out his hand. "I'm Gohachiro, what's your name?"

"T-Torhu," I stammered, as I shook his hand.

"Tohru... That's a pretty name!" said Gohachiro.

"Thanks," I muttered feebly.

"Well, I'll see you later, Tohru!"

"Bye," I said as he left. I bought the pockies and left the machine. As I thought about Gohachiro, one thing stuck out to me. He reminds me of Kyo, I thought.

When I came back, the fight was still as it had been: intense, and evenly matched.

Kazuma came into the middle of the fighting ring. "Due to the fact that I live here, I have to stop this match and call it a tie. Thanks for coming!"

Everybody groaned in disappointment, and started to leave. Kyo came over to us, wiping a face with a towel.

"Kyo, you were amazing!" I said.

"Yeah, tha-" Kyo stopped mid-sentence and fell. Before he hit the ground, Yuki caught him.

"He's exhausted," Yuki said, as he swung Kyo's body over his shoulder. "He needs rest and food..."

After he said food, he looked at me. We both thought the same thing. "Shigure!"

We started to run back home. When we rushed through the door, we found Shigure still sitting at the kotatsu, reading the newspaper. He looked up. "Where were you guys, I was and still am hungry."

As we started to eat, I asked Yuki, "You know, I never did catch the name of the Kyo's opponet..."

Yuki looked at me. "It was Akako Hanajin."
