5 Is this really the cold Sakura? P: 1

"Kija, Kija" called miss Hana as she looked left and right. "jeez, where did that guy go"

"I just saw him sneak out of the house." Here comes Sakura coming out of nowhere again startling Miss Hana. She couldn't get used to Sakura's moves even though they had been together for a month now.

[Gosh, why does she have such a low presence?]

"He got out even though I didn't allow him?" she said turning her thoughts toward Kija, then she looked at Sakura with Esperance face "could I ask you a favor?"

"is it following him?"

"um, yes. He's been getting out so much lately" of course she knew the reason for this. The house has become a suffocating place for him. Even though Sakura is a nice girl for some reason Kija hated her so much.

And so, Sakura went searching for Kija after she couldn't refuse Miss Hana's request.

It was pretty dark as Sakura jumped from a building to another searching for Kija, the buildings in this place were pretty close to each other making it easier for her. She was the best at the dojo her uncle was leading, so jumping high and fast while counseling her presence was a piece of cake for her.

After a while, she was able to spot a bunch of boys walking together. She recognized Kija between them, he was wearing a black shirt and blue jeans.

Sakura kept following and watching them from a distance until Kija suddenly stopped and without turning he spoke loudly (more exactly shouted) "Sakura come down at once."

Nobody answered and the other guys seemed confused, then Kija said again "stop this stupid game, I know you're following me."

The other guys looked around until a 'black thing' jumped from the sky (as it seemed to them) as usual Sakura was wearing her full black dress, she always wears it whenever she goes out. It was the first lesson at ninja: not to expose your identity to anyone you don't know, and they always used to wear black back at the dojo. Though all of this was actually just an excuse Sakura used when her Master asked her about her black dress. The real reason was whenever she would take off the black dress she would attract lots of attention because of her beauty, and attracting attention was the thing she hates most.

"so what do you want" asked Kija annoyed

"nothing" answered Sakura

"and you want me to believe you were following me for nothing." Shouted Kija

They were interrupted when a guy that was walking with Kija asked "who is this guy?"

"This fool is not a boy" Kija didn't even turn to face his friends when he answered but he knew that his friend's mouths were wide open in surprise.

It was just the same reaction everyone makes when she get her dress off. It's not like no other girl wears a black coat it's just that no other girl uses ninja like her.

"I am a girl" said Sakura smiling. She won't usually say such things to strangers but they seemed pitiful after the big surprise that Kija gave them without giving them time to get it.

( Gosh, I am so nice. The complete opposite of this Kija. I can't believe he is master's son.)

She turned to Kija with a glare.

( Not like Master at all)

Her thoughts were cut off when Kija returned to the main topic " aren't you going to say why are you following me?"

" N.O " she answered sarcastically.

( If he's going to talk harshly to me, shouldn't I do the same?)

Sakura's sarcasm lit a fire in Kija and he couldn't hold it anymore. He raised his hand and dropped it strongly. Thank Goodness his friends were able to stop him immediately, everyone catching a part of his body stopping him from moving since one person won't stand a chance against him.

They were able to stop him but they could feel the fire in his eyes. ( Woah, this girl was able to fire the calm Kija)

Of course, Sakura had moved about three meters away with her jump the moment she felt Kija's bloody aura when he raised his arm. " don't do something you'll regret" she told him with a deadly serious expression. She felt a chill in her body - that she didn't feel ever since she left the dojo – when his aura increased.

Sakura's seriousness knocked some sense into Kija and he was able to calm down Since he knew she was right. He took a deep breath to calm down.

Sakura knew when to stop so she said "the miss was worried so she asked me to check on you" and yes 'miss' was another formal way she used to call women she loved.

Kija kept silent. Talking to that bastard girl was drowning his energy so silence would be better.

They weren't getting well the past month, since Sir Arthur brought Sakura here. Kija feels that Sakura is an intruder that interferes with his life, and attracts all the attention, while miss Hana feels exactly the opposite, she is really happy for having Sakura at her side. She gets Sakura's help in the house chores, preparing food, and even watching Kija which was making him go crazy.

...

Kija kept walking alone while the others were talking to Sakura as they were amazed by her movements.

"that jump you just did was amazing" sparkling eyes were surrounding Sakura

"thank you" she said with a blank expression. She was used to hearing compliments from others.

Everyone was having fun, everyone except Kija. It seemed he didn't care, but deep in his thoughts he was super angry, this ninja girl that came to his house changed everything, and even took all the attraction from him. Before, he was the center of attention wherever he goes. He's smart, fast, intelligent, and handsome, so everyone liked him, but now...

[That girl changed everything. She stops me from doing what I want and surpasses me in everything so everyone started to like her and forget about me. And above everything, she's such a cold girl. What's the heck with her?] shouted Kija but deep in his thoughts so no one could hear. It was amazing how his inside was completely different from his outside.

Kija was so frustrated that he didn't notice the river in front of him, and… SPLASH!

Kija fell right into the river.

"Kija!" Sakura rushed to help him. She reached her hand but he pushed her hand hardly and said "I rather stay in this cold water than get the help from you"

"but, you'll catch a cold"

Kija ignored Sakura at first, but when he wanted to get up he saw Sakura's expression an expression that he thought a violent girl like her would never make, she was worried … about him.

He averted his eyes "I won't fall for a small thing like a cold"
