It was late in the afternoon, the clans had gathered for a lazy day at the bar. Anna was at the bar sipping her favorite juice, but the white king was absence. Shohei seemed to notice her absence.

"Where's the white king?"

He asked as he fixes his cap and sat next to Anna. Izumo glance at the stairs that lead up to where she had slept in one of the room.

"She's still asleep...Anna would you mind wake her up?"

Anna nodded at Izumo's request, she hopped of the stool. Suddenly, Misaki cheered loudly as they figured he had won the card game as Masaomi,Eric and Chitose hung their heads miserably. Just when Anna was about climb up the stairs, the stairs creaked. Anna looked up to see Haku already dressed in her sleeveless white with red checkered top over it with a denim pencil skirt that was a bit above her knee, which would upset Tatara if he were alive to see it.

"Oh, hey Anna...what's with the commotion?"

She asked, Anna just stared at her blankly as she steps back down.

"the usual..."

Anna said, Haku wasn't sure what she meant but she realized the guys were already there and somehow understood it. Besides, she was once part of Homra years ago. It was lively, but wasn't as lively as it is now since they were more of them joined after she left.

"Yo, Koha-chan. Had a good sleep?"

Izumo greeted her as he place an apple juice for her at the bar.

"well...if you consider a blocked nose and having freezing ice as part of you and still be able to sleep, is a good sleep. I guess"

She said as she took a seat where he served her the juice. Shohei, the one who was curious of her absence suddenly turn quiet and shy away back to the divan next to munching cookie monster,Rikio. Haku stared at the warm apple juice in her hand, Izumo had purposely 'forgotten' the ice cubes. Haku sighed, as she used her aura to chill the would like a warm juice anyway?

Haku tried cooling the juice in her hand and not to overused her powers and completely frozen the juice, but just as she expect the thing she hoped didn't happen, did. Her apple juice had freeze into an ice, Haku look up to Izumo who were, much to her annoyance, seemed amused and she gave him a glare before he replaced it with a new one and iced cubes.

"Still not used to your powers huh?"

Izumo commented, Haku hesitantly nodded. It was true, even though she became a king since she was 15. She didn't know how to control the power Mikoto gave her and after a year she had gained more power as a King, since she didn't want to abandon the power her former king gave, she would usually combine her white and red red. Thus creating what it seems like a kitsunebi, a white fox fire. Although her red aura died down a bit since Mikoto died. Noticing Haku trying to form a fire on her palm, but only lit up a small fire before died. Anna suddenly grab her arm, which suddenly the group silenced and observe their king.

"Mikoto's red...and Anna's red"

Anna said as they saw vivid red aura from her palm to Haku's hand, as if she was transferring her aura. Haku felt her left collar bone, where the Homra's insignia located, singe. Haku lightly pulled her collar away revealing her insignia had become more vibrant, as if it was new. The guys were sort of impressed, but Shohei turned away from staring at the girl's skin. Then Haku tested her powers again, the flame emerged from her palm. It was a big fireball compared to before, Haku stared at it as nostalgic feeling washed over her.

"Thank you Anna..."

Haku gave her a hug. It was quite impressive that not many people can handle two powers at the same time, for now they were actually only two- Haku and Saruhiko. But Saruhiko's powers of the red clan had been void as both King and Saruhiko himself rejects the use of it. For someone who barely control her own powers like Haku, she's proved to be strong enough to be able handle two separate kind of powers and able to integrate it. Just then, Haku felt her phone vibrated from her pocket. Her expression turned serious when she saw the caller ID, she excused herself and went outside to answer the call. Izumo wondered who might it be, hoping that she's not in any kind of trouble.

"Izumo"

Anna murmured as she stares into one of her marbles. Izumo turned his attention towards his little king.

"Haku's red...it's not pretty"

Izumo was taken aback by her commented, he wondered why since Anna seems to be fond of her. But, saying her red isn't pretty doesn't mean she dislike her.

"What made you say that Anna?"

Anna stared blankly at Izumo before she answer.

"Haku...is is not Haku anymore"

Anna did see the huge difference in Haku. When she first met her red aura was pretty like Tatara but not as pretty as Mikoto's, despite having another aura that Anna could not see as it is white in color, her red stood out the most. But now her red was darken as if it's turning black even after she gave her Anna's red. Anna also sensed that she was hiding some things from them, especially from Izumo.

It was a sunny day, despite last night's weather. They had decided to patrol around their territory, in case any troublemakers was to stray in and make a ruckus.

"Anna, can we drop by the arcade before going back to the bar? Plus it's a shame to stay in all day"

Misaki said hoping that Anna agrees.

"You shouldn't suggest somewhere we can stay outside? The arcade is still 'staying inside'"

Rikio said, he had a point there and Misaki didn't like it. Besides all he wanted was to play games all day.

"Rikio"

Anna suddenly called out to his chubby friend who were loosing weight due to the change of season.

"hn?"

"Ice cream"

The clans turn their heads towards Anna, then saw an ice cream stall in front. The guys sighed at their King's adorableness. Sometimes they forgot that Anna was still indeed a child, only because she wasn't like any child. She had a matured mind unlike any other twelve year olds and like a doll she would hides a true emotions, for the sake of others.

"Anna you want ice cream?"

Masaomi asked as he walks towards Anna. It took awhile for her to answer and she shook her head, thinking how childish of her. A king, a powerful red king, asking for an ice cream like a little kid. But Anna too had forgotten to let herself be a kid that she is. With that, the group continued their patrol. Rikio, had noticed that she was holding herself back as she kept eyeing the stall.

Back at the bar, Izumo had costumers to serve. There were three man drinking at the bar, then the door swung opened as the bell chimes. Izumo was about to greet his customers until he saw who it was and smiled.

"Welcome back Koha-chan"

Haku walks in with a sullen look her face. Izumo notice that and couldn't help but worry.

"Koha-chan? Are you alright?"
Hearing Izumo's voice, she lifted her head and smiled at Izumo as if nothing bothered her.

"Oh yeah...i'm fine. A bit hungry"

Haku said with her usual smile, same as her brother. But Izumo wasn't convinced, because he remembered what Anna said that afternoon had been on his mind all day.

'Haku's red is not pretty'

It kept repeating in his mind, and that's not the only reason he worries about. It has been a year since Tatara and Mikoto's death, but she never showed up till now. Izumo glanced at her as she took a seat at the bar. He wanted to ask, but it's wasn't the right time since there were customers around. But he wanted to know, why she came back after all this years not when her brother nor her beloved Mikoto died but she chose to come back now.

"Anna went out to eat with the guys at place we used to go, you still remember right? Anna told me to tell you that you may join...if you want to of course"

Izumo told her as he make drinks for the customers. Haku thought for awhile and then she felt her stomach grumble. Which Izumo who was closest to her, had heard it.

"I guess i'll go then."

Anna was calm as usual, despite the rowdiness the her clansmen. When they stepped into the restaurant, the waiter was frightened and thought that she belong to yakuza family. The whole restaurant froze when they came in, some would say she is a princess of royal blood due to her ethereal beauty, but dismissed it when they saw the group that she came in. Due to their fear, the manager placed them at the back private room where no one can see them. Just then Eric's phone rang, he excused himself and went to answer the phone.

"Hello?"

Eric answered in his fluent English,without looking at the caller id.

"Eric, are you at Mikimoto's BBQ House?"

He was taken aback by the familiar voice, he stare at the phone in shock as he could see who's on the other line.

"K-kohaku-san?"

He called out to her hesitantly.

"Ofcourse, it's me!"

He heard her laugh, making him blush as he imagined her laughing face.

"Oh! Found ya!"

He heard her say, but this time it wasn't from the phone. Eric turn to his left, to find the girl waving and smiling at her.

"Kohaku-san...how did you know this place?"

Eric was surprised that she knows her way around, even after leaving the city for a long time.

"What are you doing here? Let's go inside,i'm starving!"

Haku exclaimed as she took his hand in her without thinking and dragged him they were inside, Haku smiled at him making him blush.

"so...where are they?"

Eric was confused at first then realized what she meant. He had been mesmerized by her smile.

"oh..oh yeah, they're at the back"

Eric said awkwardly as he lead her back to the room. The rowdy clans paused what they were doing when they caught the sight of Haku.

"oh, Kohaku-san. Glad you could join us!"

Misaki said as he scoot to give a room for Haku to sit next to Anna. Haku stared at the grilling meat, she swallowed hard.

"Kohaku-san, go ahead eat...there's plenty more."

Rikio said placing her the cooked meat onto her plate, Haku nodded and took a bite of the juicy meat. She had missed Japan's beef, she had missed a lot of things after she left. Especially the accompany of Homra's.

"Haku..."

Anna called out to her, who was busy stuffing meat into her mouth. Haku glance at Anna and noticed that she hadn't touch her food much.

"What's wrong Anna? You don't like beef?"

Haku asked, she was too busy to notice the serious tone in Anna. But the clans did and had stop chattering and eating. Anna noticed a strange familiar aura about her, a very bright aura. Anna was certain that Haku's aura wasn't as bright as any of her clansmen, but at that time, it was it's brightest. Anna could almost call it pretty. Her suspicion towards Haku grew, but Haku was still one of them.
