Kaoru nodded lightly in reply. When their time was done, Kaoru fixed her things, ready to leave Totoya with a farewell. She stopped in her place when the question was raised. She blinked a few times, unsure what to say. She remembered she had promised her lunch with Koji and a family friend of theirs at the same place. She rubbed the back of her neck, bickering between what to do.

"I'd love too." She blurted, feeling unsure as she glanced back to her brother. She was sure he had overheard, walking over to take his place by her side. She turned to her brother, putting on her begging face. In times like this, it was best to put it up before he heard the question. "Koji! Totoya here has decided to ask us out to Fine Mine Noodle restaurant, would that be alright?"

Koji raised an eyebrow, her sister was willing to have someone join them? Sure she was friendly and often talked to many, yet she never really asked for others to join them. Was it just because this boy was constantly gossiped about? He gave a subtle smile. "Sure. We were just heading there, anyways."

Kanae raised an eyebrow at Shinji, who almost swore. She wanted to laugh, although that would be inappropriate. She sighed instead.
She turned back, to see Shinji bowing back.

Kanae walked towards Kaoru and the unconscious boy. She easily picked him up and threw hm over her shoulder "Where to?" She asked, her tone calm.

Kanae nodded. She walked after Kaoru, carrying the unconscious teen in her arms.

She listened as the conversation flowed around her, smiling despite usually having no emotion. She looked at the group and smiled "It would be nice to have friends" She muttered

Totoya woke up finding himself in the Yoshida home. It was dark, late at night.

The strange aura was felt again...

Totoya knew that this aura wasn't something normal, he knew that only he could feel it. It was as if something dark was lurking in this home. It sure was a big residential home. Never mind, he walked out to check it.

He found himself wandering aimlessly, checking every room as if the aura forced him to do so...

"Goodnight, Kaoru, Koji." Shinji said, dismissing him self and watching as the two both went to their own rooms. Shinji sighed, shaking his head with a small smile on his face. He walked off to go to the other guest room. Despite living not to far from his home, he convinced the siblings to let him stay over for the night.

He opened the door, taking a brief look of the entire room before shutting the door behind him and sitting on the bed. With a quite thump, Shinji fell onto the bed. He wasn't sure he could trust this Totoya guy. Koji mentioned that he had come up to Kaoru much earlier during practice. Kaoru didn't need distractions or rumors on her, neither does the Yoshida family. He laid his arm on his forehead, staring at the ceiling.


What are you trying to do...?

Totoya looked through every room and found himself in the guest room. The aura could be felt more and more as he walked in. Totoya realized that the aura was coming from not a place but a person. It was Shinji...

Could he be in trouble?

Totoya gave a quick glance through the door but nothing was wrong. It seemed that everything was normal and nothing dangerous that was going to happen. Maybe it was just all his own imagination...

He slowly wandered back to his own room suddenly hearing a yell from the guest room, it sure wasn't Shinji. The voice was too weird to be him. What could possibly have happened?

Shinji braced himself for what may come, confused and unadmittedly terrified. He chocked on his gasps, glad to utter his cry of help. This wasn't right. What was this? He couldn't possibly tell! He squeezed his eyes shut, unknowing of the consequences it may lead to in the end.

Koji's eyes widen, sitting up from his bed in shock. Something was happening in his household! He looked to the display stand where his honorary sword hung. He bit his lip, opening it up and unsheathing the beautiful blade of a sword. He inched out of his room, soon recognizing a sound that seemed to be his sister shuffling to get out of her room. She had her own sword as well, based on the sounds of cabinets that opened.

"That was Shinji, wasn't it?"

"...sadly, yes."
