The Six Heavens of Mishna 
Chapter 4 

At night everyone but Kera and Koji-who was pretending to 
sleep-were awake. Reiko had not came back yet and the others 
were worried but sleep caught them off guard and one by one 
they fell asleep. 

"Koji-san, when Reiko-chan get's back please talk to her." 
Kera whispered but loud enough to hear. 

"H-how did y-you guys do that? You scared me." 

Kera grinned, "Instinct." 

"Right." Koji found that hard to believe but went with it. 
"Why do you want me to talk to her? She despise men-Not that 
I can blame her-but why would she listen to me?" He changed 
the subject 

"I see you know of her past already-I'm going to need to talk 
to Susaki-Reiko-chan won't listen to me because I'm her friend. 
If you talk to her she will believe you for two reasons." 

"Which are?" 

"One; you are the opposite gender, which is something she needs 
to listen to right now. Two; It is easier to talk to a stranger 
than a close friend. It�s very easy to take advise from one you 
don't know, Don't worry she will believe you. I can feel that 
she is trusting you slowly. Which is great compared to the other 
men she came across to." She exclaimed 

"I don't know....." 

"Onegai, Koji-san." 

"I'll try." 

"Arigatou." 

Just then Reiko came out from the forest and walked over to 
where she sleeps. 

'Here goes nothing.' Koji thought. "Reiko-san?" He stood up 
from his bed and looked at his angel. 

Reiko looked up from her cover to Koji. "Yes?" She asked firmly 

"Can I talk to you please?" He walked towards Reiko slowly. When 
he saw her nod his heart soared with joy. 

"Let's go into the tent so we don't wake them up." He suggested 
and held out his hands to her. 

Reiko hesitated before she slid her hand in his. They walked in 
the tent and there was silence for a while. 

OUTSIDE: 

Kera whispered, "Susaki-chan I hope your plan works. Please let 
this work." And she drifted to sleep 

INSIDE: 

"Reiko-san why are you so afraid of men?" Koji asked breaking the 
silence. 'Why are you afraid of me?" 

Reiko was startled she had never expected him to ask her that. 
She kept quiet for a while debating on telling him her past, unknown 
to her that he already knew. "Because of my...past." She let go of 
Koji's hand and walked over to the colt and gently sat down, not 
knowing Koji kept an eye on her. "To many men had...raped or beating 
me when I was little. It scarred me for life." She folded her arms 
across her chest as she bent over her knee. Chest resting on her lap. 

"Your father was one of them, wasn't he?" Reiko was suprissed at 
Koji's question. She looked at him with tears swimming in her eyes, 
she looked back down at his feet nodding her head sadly. 

"After what happened to me, I lost all respect for myself....I didn't 
care of my life anymore. I was stripped of my innocent from the man 
that brought me into this world...why was I even born if I had to 
suffer so much. Those seventeen years of being treated like a toy to 
be passed around.... I began to despise all men, I try to stay away 
from them if possible. They are all the same, five years I grew up 
thinking that way, I haven't stopped. It's hard to go on in life when 
you suffered so much...I wished I had died along with my mother. I 
tried to forget about it but it's hard. I don't dare trust men anymore 
and I don't think I can now." Reiko tried not to cry, but once in a 
while little sobs would escape from her mouth. 

There was silence, Koji was standing there trying to let everything 
sink in. He then grabbed a chair, and walked over to Reiko, set the 
chair down and sat on it in front of her with a frown on his face. 

"Does that mean you don't trust Hiroshi-kun?" He calmly said as he 
wiped the tears from her eyes. 

"Of course I do." She answered immediately 

"But he is a man isn't he? So why do you trust him?" 

Reiko looked at koji dumbfounded. She had never thought of that, not 
until now. "I guess it's because he treats me with respect, like an 
equal and never did anything to me that would make me despise him. 
He helped me put myself together, and when I needed him he was there. 
He treated me like his sister." 

"After meeting a guy like him do you still honestly believe that all 
men are a like?" 

Reiko looked at him dumbfounded again. After a while she lowered her 
head and slowly shook it no. 

"Reiko," he gently grabbed her chin and raised her head up so she 
would look at him in the eye. "Not all men are a like, they are 
different from each other, no man is the same, Reiko-san. Let me 
prove that to you." Tears ran down Reiko's cheeks. He wiped them 
clean and kissed the side of her right eye. He then lowered his 
lips to hers and when they slightly touched he said, "Reiko-san, 
I would never hurt you in anyway possible. Let me prove not all 
men are like that." 

Reiko felt his lips touched hers and froze. Koji felt it and kissed 
her soft and gently but not demanding. Reiko didn't know what to do, 
she didn't reply or push him away. Koji stopped and looked into 
Reiko's eyes and saw she was a little scared. 

"Reiko-san, please don't be afraid of me." He whispered 

"Why? Why shouldn't I?" She asked in a whisper voice. 

"Because I love you, I'll follow you through earth to heaven. I'll 
always be by your side where ever you go, because I love you." He 
leaned in on her one more time and slowly but softly kissed her. He 
didn't want to scare her with his kisses. Reiko on the other hand 
was shocked, never in her life had anyone say that to her. When she 
felt Koji touch her gently, her eyes were moist with tears. She 
hesitated but something deep inside won over her hatred and fear. 

Tears fell from her eyes as she felt the warmness and love Koji gave 
and showed to her. Koji broke the kiss and looked at her. He saw 
tears flowing down her cheeks and thought she really didn't want 
this, but that changed when he looked in her eyes. He saw for the 
very first time her true self, the wall that she was building around 
her crumbled. He saw love, kindness, and gratitude that he never saw 
in her before. He wiped clean her tears, "Don't cry my angel...my 
love....aishiteru." 

Reiko cried and laughed at the same time. "Thank you Ku-chan" 

He smiled at her and kissed her, tasting the tears as he did. 
This time Reiko didn't hesitate, she wrapped her arms around his 
neck pulling him closer to her. Once he got the permission for 
him to go deeper he didn't wait for his chance to pass. He wrapped 
his arms around her slender waist and pulled her on his lap as he 
thrust his tongue in her mouth tasting the sweetness. 

"Mmmm...Ku-chan." Reiko whispered. 


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Kera wakes up and looked at the tent where Reiko and Koji went 
into. She saw Koji and Reiko's shadow's kissing and smiled, happy 
that Koji had convinced her to trust some men. 

"Susaki-chan your plan worked. Now at least she won't hate all 
men." She said as she drifted back to sleep. 


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


"Susaki-chan and Kera-chan are so smart!!!" Midi exclaimed. She 
had watched the whole thing and liked the ending very well. "Can 
I go give it to them now?" She asked 

"No Midi you can't. The group does not really trust each other 
fully. Be patient." The same voice from before spoke. 

"What do you mean?" 

"They have to learn to trust each other hole heartedly before 
anything is given, Midi." 

The angel pouted. "It's not fair!!!! That could take weeks!!!" 

"I hope not." 


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Next morning: 

Kera woke up to find Susaki pacing around in front of Satoki. She 
saw a rock in front of Susaki and she obviously didn't see it. 
"Look..." Susaki tripped on the rock and landed on Satoki who was 
still sleeping. Kera winced at the fall as she continued her sentence, 
"Out!" 

Susaki's face was hot red when she realized how awkward her position 
was on Satoki, who winced from the impact. He opened his eyes to 
see Susaki's face only an inch way from his. He could feel her 
chest heave up and down as it was pressed against his chest. Her 
left leg was between both of his legs and her right leg on the 
side of his left leg. She was leanning on her fists, keeping her 
face from going in even lower. Satoki smiled charmingly. 'I could 
get use to waking up like this every morning.' He thought. "Good 
morning, Susaki-san. Nice of you to drop in." When he saw Susaki's 
face turn a darker shade of red he bit his lips to keep from laughing. 

Susaki scrambled to her feet. "I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to 
fall on you like that." She heard snickering from behind, she 
turn and glared at Kera who was desperately trying to keep from 
laughing her head off. 

"I'm sorry Suki-chan....I...couldn't help it." Kera apologized 
as she tried to calm herself down, but she exploded again in laughter. 

Susaki sighed, "Satoki wipe that grin of your face." She said with 
out looking 

Kera looked at Satoki's surprised face and laughed harder. 

Hiroshi woke up to find a surprised Satoki, Susaki annoyed and 
Kera laughing and tears following down her face. 

"What's going on?" He asked as he stood up from the floor still 
a little sleepy. He walked over to Kera and hugged her from the 
behind, kissed her on the cheek, tasting her tears as well. 

"I'm sorry baby, I didn't mean to wake you up, but you should have 
seen it..." Kera explained what happened with a not so thrilled 
Susaki glaring at her. 

Hiroshi chuckled, "No wonder." 

"Don't start." Susaki growled. 

"Why were you pacing anyway?" Satoki asked trying to change the 
topic for Susaki's sake. 

"I was waiting for Kera to wake up so she could tell me if the plan 
worked." She turned to Kera with a wicked grin on her face. "So did it?" 

"Oh it worked all right. Come and see for yourself." Susaki followed 
Kera eagerly to the tent Reiko and Koji were in, while the guys 
shrugged and followed as well. 

Kera slightly opened the curtain for them to see. They saw Reiko 
in Koji's arms on the bed sleeping. "Aaaawwww." Susaki and Kera 
whispered as they removed themselves from the tent and stood 
in front of it. 

"They are so cute together! Absolutely adorable!!!" Susaki exclaimed. 

"yup! Totally agreeing with you." 

"I don't get it." Satoki and Hiroshi said. They were completely 
lost. 

Susaki and Kera looked at them with one eyebrow up, thinking 
the samething, 'how dense can they be?' 

"Look it's simple. We figured that Koji-san likes Reiko-chan..." 
Susaki said 

"And since Reiko needed to talk to someone, and won't listen to 
us....we got Koji to do it." Kera continued 

"Even though he was reluctant at first." Susaki finished. 

They saw Satoki nodding his head but Hiroshi was fumming. 
"Ke-rah..." He hissed 

Kera gulped as she took a step back, "Y-yes." 

"Didn't I told you to leave her be?" Hiroshi yelled 

Kera gulped again. "y-yeah...but...." 

"No BUTS!!!" He hissed. "You could have made it worst...you could 
have made Reiko hate men even more if Koji-kun had said the wrong 
things." He stepped forwards 

Kera ran and hid behind Satoki. "But he didn't....Didn't you see 
how happy they were....he loves her I can feel it...and I didn't 
want Reiko-chan to be lonely anymore..." She stopped when she 
saw him coming for her and ducked behind Satoki. 

"Hey man!!! Don't hurt me. I'm just an innocent bystander. 
"Satoki tried to move out of the way but Kera mirrored his movements. 

"I'm sorry Hiro-chan, I just didn't couldn't help it. She was so 
lonely and sad. I couldn't stand it anymore and watch her suffer." 
Kera said from behind Satoki, who was desperately trying to get away. 

Susaki was watching from behind Hiroshi rolling in laughter. 

Then suddenly three arrows landed an inch away from Susaki's face. 
She screamed in surprised and getting the attention of the other 
three. They ran to her and notice she was staring shockingly at 
the arrows only a mere inch from her face. 

"Not again!!!" Kera whined. She notice something coming from behind 
her and jumped out of the way. The arrow went through the tent and 
hit something. Then they heard Reiko screamed in pain, and ran in 
the tent to see the arrow behind Reiko dripping with blood, while 
she was holding her side. Koji had knelt in front of her and 
slowly peeled her hands away to reveal a very deep cut. The arrow 
had cut her side when it had enter through the tent. 

"Koji stay here with her. Everyone else move out and watch your 
back!!!" Kera ordered in a very pissed off tone. That said 'don't 
argue with me just do it.' They nodded and went out side. 

The moment they stepped out they saw six ice spears headed for 
them and jumped out of the way but an ice spear managed to hit 
Susaki who was deeply concern for Reiko, in her shoulder. She 
stumbles on the ground and bit her lip so she woudn't cry out, 
she slowly got up to her feet to feel a spear had impaled her 
stomach completely. She flew back a few feet in shock. 

She reached to touch the ice spear and found that it was slowly 
dissolving. She heard her friends calling her name as they ran 
towards her. She close her eyes in determination not to get them 
distracted like she was. 

"NO!!!" She screamed "Don't let me distract you! Leave me, I'll 
be fine. Just kick it's ass for me!!!" She yelled but each word 
she yelled become softer indicating that she is dying. She felt 
them coming towards her and she summon all her strength left to 
yell at them. "You idiots! I said leave me!" Tears fall from her 
eyes at this point. "What's the point in all of us dying, fight! 
Faith chose me to stay out of it, so you go and FIGHT!!!" She felt 
them hesitate but eventually they left, she smiled weakly. 'My 
friends.....good bye.' Those were the last thoughts that crossed 
her mind as her body shut down. 


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


"NOOO!!! SUSAKI-CHAN!!!!" Midi screamed as tears rolled down her 
cheeks as she watched Susaki die. 

"Calm down, Midi. It's okay. You must believe in them and 
Susaki-san." The voice spoke 

"How can I believe in Susaki-san if she's DEAD???!!!" Midi screamed 

"Is she really?" 

"Huh?" The last remark of the voice caught Midi's attention but was 
to late to ask it what it meant because it was already gone. "I hate 
it when she does that." 


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Koji had finish treating Reiko's wound and was now laying in each 
others arms, Reiko was still very much in pain. She felt one of the 
links she had with her friends die down. "No," She whispered not 
wanting to believe she was dead. "NO! SUSAKI! NO!!!" She disengaged 
herself from Koji, ignoring her pain as she ran out the tent. She 
found Susaki swimming in her own blood while Kera was by her side 
desperately trying to bring her back, and Hiroshi and Satoki were 
watching her back. Reiko dropped to her knees and screamed an agonizing 
scream that who ever heard it will bring tears to their eyes. 

Koji had ran out after Reiko to see drop to her knees and scream, 
tears rolled down his face as he watched her sob. He looked at where 
Kera and Susaki were. He saw how desperately Kera tried to bring 
the youngest member back to them, tears stained her faces as she 
worked. His eyes wonder to Satoki and he knew this was killing him 
even though he refuse to let it show. 'The stubborn fool.' Then his 
gaze fell on Hiroshi and saw him shed tears but quickly wiped them 
away knowing it wasn't the right time to mourn. 

In the corner of both his eyes Koji spied Reiko being consumed in 
a bright red glow and slowly stood up. He also spied Kera on the 
other side of his eye. She had stopped trying to bring her friend 
back, she was bathed in a white glow with a black boarder. She to 
slowly stood up, with blood dripping from her hands. "What the hell?" 

Reiko walked slowly towards the forest where she knew her enemy 
hid. 'I'll get you, and when I do I'll tear you slowly apart so 
you can feel the pain you caused me.' With that thought her pupils
disappeared and her aura glowed brighter, and she came to a stop. 

Kera was close behind Reiko, her eyes had turned pure white. 
'You are going to hell! No body messes with my family and gets 
away with it!!!' She thought as she took her place beside Reiko 
with her aura blazing. 

Arrows and ice spears came out towards them again, but the girls 
did not move from their spot, when the attack touched their auras 
it turned to dust. Two ice spears headed for the guys and Susaki's 
body without turning back or looking they threw two blasts and 
killed off the attack. They brought they arms in front of them. 
"Come out, coward!!!" Kera yelled. 

"Get your ass out here!!!" Reiko exploded. 

They shot blast in the forest. A hooded figure jumped out, without 
warning Reiko and Kera doubled attacked him with no mercy. After 
a while, the two girls stopped but kept a deadly glare on the 
mysterious figure that killed their best friend and sister. 

"Enough play." Reiko spoke with venom 

"You thought that was play?" The deep voice came from the figure. 

"You better believe it asshole! We may be weak but when push come 
to shove your playing with fire." With a fancy gesture Reiko yelled, 
"SHENTU!!!" Come out and play!" The light around Reiko turned into 
fire. A tiger completely made of fire stepped out from the inferno 
and looked deadly at the figure. 

With another gesture Kera yelled, "SHITIAN!!! I summon you!" The 
light around Kera became blinding. When the light dimmed a 
gold/white dragon was behind it's mistress, snarling at the hooded 
figure. 

Reiko wondered where the dragon came from and notice the chain 
that was on her head that held the miniature dragon was gone. 
She turned back to glare at the figure while she absent mindly 
pet Shentu. "Ready to play, Shentu?" Her voice echoed but some 
how mocking the figure. 

"Ready, Shitian?" Kera's voice was also echoed but deadly. Shitian 
simply nodded. "ATTACK!!!!" Both girls yelled and the creatures 
went to the figure. 


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


"SUSAKI-SAMA!!!" A voice yelled impatiently 

"What??!!! Who are you? Where are you for heaven sake!!!???" 
Susaki yelled back 

"Finally, didn't you here me calling? Gee and they say I'm bad." 
The voice was full of sarcasm in the end 

Susaki looked around for the person or thing the voice belong to. 

"Behind you." 

Susaki turned around and gasped. She was staring into the most 
beautiful bird she had ever seen. It looked half eagle and half 
swan and made completely from water as it emmerge from the 
darkness. Susaki was half frightened and amazed by the creature. 

"Don't be scared you'll give a bad name to all the girls." The 
bird mocked. 

"What are you ? Wait a minute I resent that comment." Susaki 
looked at the bird defiantly. 

"Tch, it took you long enough. Are you always this dense? You 
can call me Shutan." 

"Hey, quit with the insults!" Susaki yelled 

"I'm sorry mistress I couldn't help it." Shutan smirked waiting 
for the reaction from Susaki for calling her 'mistress.' 

"That's ok I...Wait, what did you just call me? Mistress? What 
are you talking about? And where are we?" 

"We are in your mind, and as for what I am talki...." 

"That's impossible. I died, I should be in heaven!!!" Susaki 
yelled in frustration 

"Are sure they would let you in?" Shutan teased her 

Susaki shot a deadly glare at her teaser. 

"Okay, fine. No more teasing. I'll tell as much as I can. All 
you have to do is shut up and don't ask me any QUESTIONS, Midi 
will tell you everything else." Shutan saw Susaki nod and flashed 
a smile. 

"Okay, to begin with let me introduce myself. I am called Shutan, 
one of the guardians of the Heavens. I follow you everywhere you 
go even if you don't know it. We are bonded by soul, what ever 
you do I'll know. You control me but when you are in danger I 
control you. You are one of the guardians called 'The Six Heavens 
of Mishna.' Hiroshi-sama is one of them too but I will not tell 
you who the others are. Why did I tell you? Well, because you 
already saw him and Shoutian in action. Oh, Shoutian is the 
snack. You were born for two things. One; to protect the city 
of Mishna and two; to protect the child Mishna and his parents, 
Midi will inform you more about this. I was given to you to help 
protect and obey any command you give me. You also have powers, 
your main power is water but you can do other things. The reason 
your here is because I brought you here to tell you who and what 
you are, plus I miss talking to you. Susaki listen to what I have 
to say." 

Susaki nodded 

"You will be hunted down by many who will want you dead, you 
have already. There will be a time when you are going to face 
the king of all the demons. That is who the Six Heavens have 
to fight and destroy. Your world is in turmoil and soon it will 
no longer excists because of him. You will have to learn to 
master your powers quickly. Before you died you showed your 
love for your friends and family and because of that I brought 
you here so I could give you a gift, but you have to be wise 
about this because once you have it there is no turning back, 
and there will be consequences to pay, Do you want to hear it?" 
Shutan saw her nod again 

"You have the choice to have immortality, think hard Suka-Chan. 
Some of the consequences will be great but I know you'll be able 
to get pass it." 

Susaki thought about it for a long time and finally nodded yes. 

"Touch my wings." Shutan instructed 

Susaki reached for Shutan and when she touch her a blue light 
blinded the screen. 


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


"Ahhhh!!!"The hooded figure screamed when Shentu lunged at him 
for the fifth time and ripped his arms off while burning him too. 

"That's right Shentu! Tear him apart, show him know mercy!!!" 
Reiko ordered Shentu as tears from seeing Susaki laying in her 
own blood rolled down her cheeks. 

"Shitian, I want you to chew out his heart!!!" Kera yelled also 
with tears 

The guys watched in awe as the dragon and tiger did as they were 
told. 

"They are going to kill him." Satoki whispered 

"Good! He deserves it, the bastard." Hiroshi spoke with no 
emotions as he watch the girls kill the man. 

"He killed Susa-chan, he deserves everything they throw at him." 
Koji spat 

Satoki nodded in agreement. 'Susaki...my love.'He thought as one 
tear ran down his left cheek. 

Shentu and Shitian walked or flew back to their mistress. Shentu 
walked over to Reiko who was kneeling, crying. The tiger purred 
softly as he licked her right cheek, trying to comfort her. He 
looked like he was debating something, he looked up to see Shitian
doing the samething. 'Shitian do you think we should?' He sent 
a silent message to his friend. 

'I think we should.'Shitian answered back. Shitian wrapped himself 
around Kera and place his head on her shoulder. Kera placed her 
hand on his head. "Kera, it will be ok." Shitian whispered in a 
deep voice. Kera thinking it was only her imagination said, 
"I hope so, shitian. I truly hope so....return."The dragon emitted 
light and formed around Kera's head and became the chain. 

Meanwhile, Shentu placed his fiery paw on Reiko's shoulder. 
"It's okay Rei, Shutan is with Susaki, she'll take care of her. 
It will be okay." Shentu burst into flames and entered Reiko's 
body. "I hope so." 

Reiko and Kera walked back to the guy, who were still awe struked. 
Both women couldn't stand looking at Susaki's body, which was 
covered in blood, so they turned around. Koji snapped out of his 
trance first and went to comfort Reiko, threw herself in his arms 
and cried heavily. He held her tightly and whispered comforting 
words to her. 

Kera turned back around to look at Susaki, when she did, she 
gasped in surprise. Everyone turn to look at her, they saw hope, 
fear and awe sketched on her face and quickly turned around. 
They saw tiny blue lights sparkle over Susaki's body, as the 
lights gathered around her body and they entered her. A blinding 
light appeared forcing the group to cover their eyes. 

When the light dimmed the gang unshielded their eyes, and were 
shocked to see Susaki's body gone, not even a drop of blood was 
left behind. The only thought that ran through their mind was 
'Impossible.' 

They also noticed a shadow hovering above the ground, slowly 
They looked up and gasped at what they saw. Up in the air was 
Susaki, with wings that looked like it was made from water. 
Her wounds were closed, not even a trace was left from it. Her 
eyes were closed as she slowly descended from the air. She 
landed softly on her right leg and her left quickly joined her 
other foot. The wings melted away and she slowly opened her 
eyes. Susaki looked at her disbelieve friends, giggling she said, 
"What? No hellos or Suki-chan I was so worried!? Well I feel 
loved." She teased. 

Kera and Reiko took a step forward. Kera blinked numerous time 
while Reiko rubbed her eyes. "Suki-chan is that really you?" 
Kera asked as tears welled up in her eyes. 

Susaki twirled around once, "A 100%....I hope."She giggled. 

Before anyone said or did anything Reiko ran towards Susaki 
and hugged her tightly, "Oh my god....Susaki don't ever scare 
me like that!!! Do you know how worried I...we were?" 

Susaki broke the hug slowly and looked at Reiko. "I know and 
I'm sorry...anyway I told you not to worry about me and I meant 
it." 

"How could we not?" Kera walked over and hugged her as joyful 
tears fell from her eyes. 

"Yeah, I'm hurt that you said that. I mean how long have we 
known each other? Well, I'll tell you, it's been three days, 
and you tell me not to worry?�EKoji grinned at Susaki who was 
giggling. He walked towards her and pecked her on the cheek 
and hugged her. He returned to Reiko's side. He wiped the tears 
from her eyes with his right thumb and kissed her on the 
forehead. They returned their gaze at Susaki. 

Hiroshi walked to his 'little sister' with an evil grin on his 
face. He suddenly grabbed her by her waist and twirled her 
around in the air bringing her down laughing and hugged her 
like she was his long lost missing sister. He broke the hug 
and pecked her on the forehead, "I'm glad you're all right." 

Then Susaki felt herself yanked towards Satoki. She was 
shocked beyond her beliefs when Satoki placed his lips on 
hers, her eyes were wide in shocked as the others watched 
with shock and surprised as well. Their eyes bugged out of 
their socket while their mouths were hanging. 

'I am imagining this! Satoki would never kiss a girl, he would 
rather insult them than do this!!! But here he is kissing...
KISSING Susaki-chan!! And DEEPLY TOO!!!!'Koji then put on a 
grin. 'I knew it! I knew a girl would make him eat those words! 
Ha! He owes me 20 yen!' Koji's grin turned into a wicked grin. 

'What am I doing?'Satoki asked as he kissed Susaki passionately. 

Susaki for a while was shocked for a while finally gave into 
the kiss. She wrapped her arms around Satoki's neck and 
returned the kiss ten fold. 'Hiroshi is going to kill me...
but I can't help but feel this is right.' 

'What the hell? She's too young for him!'Hiroshi thought. 
'WAY TO YOUNG!!!' 

'Hiroshi is blowing a gasket over this. I better do something 
before he beats Satoki-kun' Kera thought. 

"Won't they come out for air?" Reiko asked. She looked around 
to see Koji grinning, Kera in a deep thought and Hiroshi fuming. 
'Why is he angry? He's not her father or anything like that. 
I better do something for their sake.'She remembered the wound 
she received early on. She pretended to collapse in pain and 
gave out a cry,s he held her side and bit her lip so it would 
look like she was in pain. All attention went to her and they 
gathered around her. 

Kera knowing she was trying to distract Hiroshi gave a slight 
grin. 'Keep it up Reiko-chan.'When no one was paying attention 
Kera tugged on Susaki and Satoki's sleeves to get their 
attention. She mention them to keep quiet and follow her to 
the tent. 

Once in, "Kera-chan, what's wrong?" Susaki asked worriedly 

"Nothing...look Reiko can't last pulling that stunt up for long...." 

"Wait a minute...you mean she was pretending? Why?"Satoki asked 

"Because of Hiroshi. He was practically steaming, when you guys 
surprised us with that kiss." Kera grinned, "So, Reiko-chan 
pretended to be in pain, so I could warn you. Watch what you 
do in front of Hiro-chan." Kera warned 

"Why is he acting that way? He is not my father and it's only 
two months till my 18th birthday!"Susaki said 

"Look, don't be offended, he took care of you since you were 
10 years old. He loves you like a sister, but sometimes more 
as a daughter. He is just trying to protect you and besides 
Satoki your age is tweenty-two and you Susaki, you are only 
seventeen. Now do you get why he is angry? I'll talk to him 
but please try not to do anything in front of him until I talk 
to him or you're 18, ok?" Kera looked almost pleading towards 
the new couple. 

Satoki nodded in understanding, while Susaki was going to 
continue arguing. 

"Please Suki-chan, just stay away from each other, at least 
until I talk to him." Kera begged 

"All right, but that does not mean I have to like it." Susaki 
turned an d walked out of the tent. 

"Don't worry Kera-san." Satoki said 

Kera nodded, "Thank you, tell Suki-chan that I'll try my best. 
Please feel free to call me Kera-chan or Kera, all my friends 
do." Kera smiled. 

Satoki returned the smile, "Thank you." He turned around to leave 

"Oh Satoki-san, the best place to be alone is by the river. 
Hiro-chan would never think of going there." Satoki turned 
around with a smile and caught Kera winking at him. 

"Please call me Satoki-chan....Thanks for the warning Kera-chan." 
With that he left.
