First Meeting

"Urg, how would you two find me?" asked Sho wearily as Hayami Nauma and Seto Koya, his fellow brothers in discipleship under Akira Hongo.

"We were following Hongo-sensei orders to keep track of you after hearing Ogata-sama's warning," replied Hayami.

"So to do so, we recently placed a tracker on your motorcycle," finished Seto fishing out a GPS device, "So Why are you here?"

"Err... to see flowers?" lied Sho, not wanting to 'die' as he did not have permission from Hongo to spy on Kenichi.

"Hmm... we didn't thought that you would take Hongo-snsei's orders so seriously about telling us to slow down and meditate a bit," nodded Hayami, "What perfect way to mediate than to be in the flower gardens, around nature!"

"I have already taken the time to purchase tickets for us," said Seto reappearing before them, "Let us go in."

The trio walked in the botanical garden and both Hayami and Seto began to admire flowers.

"This is a pleasant activity you have chosen, Sho-sama," began Hayami as he turned around to him, just to see him missing.

"Ah he ran away again" exclaimed Seto, "We must find him"

The two began to panic as they rushed off to find him right past bush. After they turned a corner, Sho's head popped out of the bush.

"Geeze that was easy and I thought it would take more then that" Sho said, "Well it's good now I can gather information on my own easily"

"This is quite a nice place Kenichi" Miu said

"Yes, this is the only good place near the cemetery that could be worth watching" Kenichi said as he hugged Miu from behind as they watch the flowers.

"I have never been to such a beautiful garden, Wow look over here this rose is a samurai" Miu said

"Ahh.. That one's a french rose" Kenichi said.

"Ah, this rose smells like a soap" Miu said as she smelled a rose.

"Ahahahaha! it's the opposite, soap is made to smell like this rose." Kenichi said

Miu nestled in closer to him, as if leeching his warmth, as the two continued their stroll in the gardens. "We haven't been on a date for some time right"

"Yes due to all that Ragnarok and then Yami we didn't had the time for each other" Kenichi said.

They had been walking through the forest area of the gardens when they saw Sho looking up a tree, gazing at a sparrow who's leg had been caught on a fishing line. When they saw him, Miu didn't looked at him much as she focused on the bird itself whom she felt bad about while Kenichi's Mind remembered the story where he gave up his life to save Miu.

"This time I won't let you die but you can forget about getting anywhere close to Miu" Kenichi thought.

"Poor thing" murmured Sho snapping Kenichi from his trance.

"ah, the bird" commented Miu.

Sho froze at the sound of someone right behind him while breathing himself.

"crap, crap, crap, I did it again. I have the bad habit of completely losing focus whenever I get distracted. Sensei always lectured me to get rid of this habit, but I just can't seem to do so, especially when it comes to birds. I hate bugs that crawl on the ground, but I just love birds! What do I do?"

"Hmm... looks like the bird got caught in the fishing line,'" Kenichi stated, "Though I am not sure why that's even doing there in the first place"

"If sensei found out that I made contact with someone from Ryozanpaku, especially Shirahama Kenichi, he will kill me" gulped Sho, "I will just save that bird and then disappeared!"

As Sho quickly jumped, hopping off the tree trunks towards the bird, so did Miu. Sho witnessed Miu's moves as she seemed to effortlessly dance in the sky. As soon as they both landed on the tree branch, Sho swore that Miu had wings. The two of them quickly freed the bird, watching it fly away into the sky. Miu looked and Sho and asked if he could pass the bird.

After freeing the bird Miu smiled and asked "You did it quite easily, are you some sort of Martial artist"

"I have found you! I have been looking for somebody like you!" exclaimed Sho with stars twinkling around his excited face, "My name is Kano Sho! come, let us fly together to the wide and dark sky together! I am sure Yami would surely accept you"

He moved towards her but before he could touch her Kenichi appeared between them and unlike the two he did it from jumping directly from the ground.

"That's my girl" stated Kenichi with a serious face. Kenichi was in no way letting this bastard touch Miu.

Sho moved back, more shocked about the fact that Kenichi managed to move so fast in between them than the fact in between them than the fact the two were dating. As he moved back, he blinked as he swore he also saw wings around Kenichi, wrapping around Miu as if protecting her. Except these wings seemed unlike his and Miu's as the wings they had were like pigeons wings or something, while Kenichi's wings were of the vultures wings someone of top carnivore in the food chain.

Shelving those thoughts for later, he focused more on the fact that the two were a couple. And yet the girl simply resonated in his heart. Kenichi's existence suddenly welled up within him.

"I don't suppose I can convince you two to break up?" asked Sho

"Fuck No!" Kenichi retorted in anger.

"Eh, worth a shot," shrugged Sho, "But still, I can't exactly let you go now that you have seen me. So do me a favor and die."

Sho suddenly accelerated forward , intent on stabbing Kenichi in the stomach at speeds that would surprise many disciples class by surprise. But unfortunately for Sho, he wasn't fighting a disciple class nor a expert class but a low class Master. Kenichi halted the attack by grabbing his wrist before his attack could reach him.
