*************************************************************

“The championship is in two months, and you still haven’t designed the new uniforms.” The blonde girl retorted to another similar looking girl at the end.

“Hey, it’s not like I don’t have a life besides cheerleading! What about the exams?” The second female threw her hands up in the air.

“ They are over and done with, can we please stop discussing them?” A male cheerleader groaned.

Another brunette overloaded with makeup sitting next to the boy chuckled. “Still jealous that I kicked your butt in the SATs, eh?”

“It was a coincidence, man you spend more time in front of the mirror then your books”

She laughed again and sang out the word ‘jealous’.

“Akiko and Masashi, knock it off! We have work to do!” the blonde said firmly. She then turned her head and smiled at the ninja gang. “Hi my name is Kimberly Burke. I am the captain of the cheerleading team, are you all here to try out?”

Recca snickered. “No, I don’t think we guys would want to try out.” He and Domon laughed.

Masashi frowned. “Boys also are in the squad, there’s nothing wrong with it.” Four other males standing near the table nodded their heads.

“Whatever. It’s a chick’s job.”

Tokiya glared at the sea monkey.

“Never mind, I can’t really think of you two doing anything that requires stamina AND brains.” Masashi said snidely. The whole squad snickered.

Ganko started imagining Domon and Recca in a miniskirt waving pompoms. “You are right! They would mess up!” she cheered.

Fuuko immediately jumped in front of Recca before he burned the little girl and Masashi. “Forget about him, he’s not here to sign up its this new girl, her name is Mi - er - Natsumi Mikagami.” She pointed towards the emotionless member of the Hokage.

“But I thought Tokiya Mikagami was an only child.”

“They are first cousins.” Koganei said quickly. He was extremely needed at times like this.

Kimberly wrote down her name. She frowned at her teammates “I apologize for my group’s behavior, lets just forget about the whole incident, especially you two guys. Natsumi, would you like to show us what you’ve got?”

Tokiya nodded slightly.

“Okay, let’s see you do a backflip.” The room parted.

Tokiya lunged herself into the air, hurtling her body backwards, spinning and gracefully landing on her feet without any trouble balancing herself on the landing.

Fuuko, Recca and Domon were amazed.

“Mi-chan, where did you learn that stuff from?” Fuuko asked.

“Where do you think?” Tokiya said dryly, not wanting to speak her sensei’s name. Her mind was right now on slaying Akiko with a wooden stake.
 

“Oh, sorry.”

Akiko barged in. “Hey that’s not it! You gotta do other stuff as well!”

“Like what?”

“Can you cheer?”

Tokiya raised one eyebrow. “Excuse me?

“Come on say this…… Yuusuke Yuusuke he’s our man if he can’t do it no one can!”

Tokiya clapped her hands together. “Okay, here goes….Your school is forcing me to join some club and this is my last resort!” She sang out sarcastically.

Masashi facefaulted.

Genie grabbed her head and muttered something about always getting the arrogant ones.

“So I don’t have a singing voice” Tokiya shrugged.

“You don’t sing in the squad!”

“You also don’t wear makeup that literally reads ‘screw me’ but that hasn’t stopped you!” Tokiya got the last word.

Akiko was about to kick her out before Kimberly pushed her away. “Wait! Lets see more of your gymnastics I can show you how to cheer later!” Kimberly could see her potential.

Masashi nodded. “Yelling is no big talent. Natsumi-san has amazing athletic abilities, didn’t anybody else notice that she spun twice before landing?” He chewed his pen thoughtfully.

Akiko blew the hair away from her forehead. “Alright, but as official tryout judge I get to tell her what to do.”

“That won’t be necessary,” Kimberly said hastily.

“Go ahead.” Tokiya said dryly.

Akiko gave a smile, Recca noticed that she was sending a you-just-messed up-by-doing-that message.
“Two back flips, a full cartwheel, three front flips and then launch yourself into a spin in the air.” Akiko grabbed the whole squad’s attention. A stunt like that could qualify you for the Olympics, perhaps even get you the gold medal.

Tokiya handed her mobile phone to Koganei. “Don’t let Hanabishi and the gorilla near it,” Tokiya ordered the younger ninja. She faced the table. “How about one back flip and a upward spin on my hands, then I go into the cartwheel?” Tokiya asked Akiko.

Akiko shrugged “fine with me”.

Tokiya bounded towards the end.

“Is she off her rocker? She can’t do that!” Recca hissed to Fuuko. Yanagi had a couple of question marks floating above her head.

Finally, Tokiya went into action, body moving in perfect rhythm as her feet were barely touching the ground before moving upwards going clockwise and landing. Then came the next step. Instantly on landing, Tokiya twirled her self upwards in an extremely fast spin and then landed on her hands to start her cart wheel. She was just a blur at this moment her hair was flying everywhere. Then she went into front flips, a move not only she, but also Recca, Koganei and especially Fuuko, was familiar with. In my point of view front flips are much harder then backflips.

Tokiya: do we care about your ideas? Get back to the plot.

*Oh now he likes the story *
 

Tokiya managed to execute the three moves flawlessly and then came the hardest move of all: Mikagami leaped high in the air, twirling continuously. Before coming down she flipped herself so she could land on her feet. She landed with a bit of dust from her shoes flying upwards ,but the performance was excellent.

The pen in Masashi’s mouth fell down.

Koganei’s eyes were comically wide.

Fuuko, Domon and Recca had their mouths open in the same fashion when they saw Tokiya fighting for the first time.

Kage Houshi looked at Tokiya from her crystal ball. She adapted to her body by letting the soul of Tokiya live on…
 
Yanagi started to jump up and down. “Yeah Natsumi-chan!!!!!!”

The group went to congratulate Tokiya while all the members of the cheerleading team (except from Akiko) erupted into clapping and cheers.

Kimberly smiled “Natsumi Mikagami, as the captain of the Samurai Cheerleading Squad I officially declare you a cheerleader!”

Ganko and Kondo high fived each other.

Tokiya said nothing.

“Uh Mikagami, you okay?” Recca asked.

“I think I am going to be sick,” she said weakly, falling to the floor.

 Genie peered over her. “Poor dear, she seems to be dropping down all day.” Everyone was laughing.

**************************************************************************

Tokiya walked towards her class. Suddenly Masashi popped up from behind her.
“Hi Natsumi-san! Remember who I am? Its me, Masashi from the cheerleading team!”

The inheritor of the ensui looked at him. “Oh, hi.” She said in a bored tone.

Somehow Masashi didn’t seem to pick it up. “I just wanted to tell you that you are a great gymnast! I bet you are gonna be the best member of the team!” He went on and on.

Tokiya continued walking.

“Oh yeah, and don’t worry about Akiko, everybody around there has got something against people who are new. I mean, poor Kimberly-chan had such a hard time settling in from the U.S.A.”

Mikagami was not even pretending to be listening and yet Masashi didn’t stop talking.

She’s so different from the other girls, but she is so like somebody I know. Masashi gulped. “Umm … I better be going. See you later at practice right?”

“what?…oh yeah right” Mikagami walked off.

Tokiya yawned and fell down in her appointed seat. I can’t believe there is so much more to learn about my new life.

Yanagi, Kage Houshi and Fuuko came over for a little talk, though they still had to discuss something with Tokiya which they promised they will tell her later.

Mikagami felt her stomach. She had been having cramps since morning. Perhaps it was because of the routine she had executed the other day. She had not done something like that since she had been twelve years old. She opened her notebooks as the teacher entered the class.

************************************************************************

Three hours later Mikagami stomped through the classroom hall.

“Nat-chan! What is the matter!” Fuuko asked eyes wide as she watched Tokiya bang her head against someone’s locker.

“Oh please! As if Mi-chan was not bad enough!”

“Okay calm down and tell me what happened”.

Tokiya lifted her upper lip in a snarl “I will tell you what! The whole day those stupid senseis have been after me! Then that moron Masashi keeps on following me like a puppy dog and…oh God, there he is!” She grabbed Fuuko and dragged her into the bathroom, but what Tokiya forgot was……

“AIIIEEEE!”

“HENTAIIIIII!”

“MY LIFE IS RUINED!!!”

Tokiya and Fuuko dashed outside. “Er … gomen” Fuuko said slightly red.

“Okay, so let’s go into the female’s bathroom then!” Mikagami said walking in casually, there was nothing in the boy’s restroom that she hadn’t seen or once owned. But one couldn’t say that for the Wind master. Fuuko who was still red followed her.

“Nat-chan why are you so grouchy?”

“Grr… I have no idea!!!” she ground her teeth and clutched her stomach again “damn pain has become worse!”

Fuuko raised an eyebrow. “How long have you been acting moody?”

“Well, the problems did not start until morning.”

“Uh huh, and the pain in your stomach”

“As I woke up today….why are you asking?”

Fuuko gulped

“Well….what?”

“I think we better get Yanagi neechan in here … she’s better at this then me”

??????
*************************************************************************
“WHAT DO YOU MEAN THIS HAPPENS EVERY MONTH!!!” Tokiya hollered form the bathroom stall.

“Quiet, fool! You are not supposed that open about periods!” Fuuko demanded.

“I think it’s perfectly natural for them to occur and no woman should be ashamed of them” Ganko remarked like a mother.

Both Fuuko and Yanagi looked at her with uncontrollable blinking eyes.

“That’s what Neon-san’s magazine said,” Ganko said almost inaudibly.

“I will speak to you once I am done with Nat-chan.” Fuuko remarked curtly. She turned to Yanagi. “I told you we should have informed him that night”

“Demo…I feel awkward explaining it to a boy”

“Neechan, guys don’t get periods and thus that would make Nat-chan a chick. I leave the rest to you”

Yanagi eyed the stall…cheeks getting redder by the minute “Well…see Tokiya-kun er chan, the…..”

************************************************************
Recca bounded towards the group of girls “Hime!” he grinned towards Yanagi.

“Recca-cun” she smiled as if she hasn’t seen him for a month.

“You two are too mushy!”

“Be quiet tomboy!” He looked around. “Where is Mikagami?”

“Uh, she went home because she had some homework to do.”

************************************************************************
Tokiya grumbled the whole way as she walked down the path  “Stupid heels, stupid homework and stupid female body functions!” she declared to herself.
 
She glared at a disgusting man smiling at her “what are you looking at!” Tokiya said coldly.

“You.” The smelly man said cheekily

“Do you have a problem?” She narrowed her ice blue eyes

“Yeah, if I don’t kiss you then I am going to be sick”

“Well then, we both have a problem because if I kiss you, then I am going to be sick!” She slammed Kage Houshi’s purse hard against the guy’s face, making him see stars.

“Tramp” she muttered while walking away in a huff.
*************************************************************************
“And a one two three four five six seven eight once more! One two three four five…”

“Can we stop already?” Akiko panted.

Mikagami rolled her eyes and continued to move with Kimberly.

After a while Kimberly stopped the music and announced that everybody sit in a circle in front of her.

“Guys, today the new cheerleading coach is coming. I want all of you to show him your best.” She looked at the door and a man came inside. “He’s here!”

She walked up to him “hi! I am…”

“STAND IN THREE ROWS NOW!!!” He yelled.

In a hurry everyone did as he told.

He walked by the first row looking at the members

“Too much makeup” he remarked looking at Akiko, he gazed then at the girl in charge of costumes

“Eeyah too little makeup!” He moved on to Tokiya.

“Smile.”

Tokiya smiled sacarstically

“Don’t smile.”

He went on to a pale looking girl. “Oh brother, just take a look at your skin! Say it with me….sunlight!”  The girl burst into tears but he simply went up ahead.

“I am your new coach Sato and I am here to shape up this poor excuse for a team so lets begin!”

Tokiya felt that this was going to be a long day.
************************************************************************

“No no no!!!! Look raise her higher HIGHER!!!!”

“I think that I am going to be flattened soon.” One boy grunted. He was having a difficult time raising Kimberly up to the desired height that the coach wanted.

“Am I a milkmaid? Because someone is feeling like a cow!” Masashi groaned trying to lift Akiko up further. Only one boy was not complaining, the one that was lifting up Natsumi.

“You are not men, you are just a bunch of girls wearing shorts!” the coach hollered. “And you pervert stop looking underneath that ice girl’s skirt!”

“NANNNIIII” Natsumi let go of her hold on a chubby girl to try to hit the hentai freak.

“Ah waaait Natsumi I am losing….whaaaaaaaa!!!!!” The girl waved her hands around furiously and finally she crashed, bringing down the whole pyramid.

Everybody lay one on top of each other in a tangled mess.

The coach began to mumble something incoherent.

****************************************************************************

“You will write, ‘I will remember that I am working in a team’ three hundred times by today!” The coach handed Natsumi a pen and paper.

Natsumi grumbled and started to write the sentences.
***************************************************************************
 
By the time Tokiya was finished writing the whole squad was sprawled on the floor and Koganei was passing the team water.

“Koganei! What are you doing here!”

“Hi neechan! I came to see how your practices were going but I kind of got caught up here.” He passed the pale girl (who is now even whiter) a glass of water.

“You really don’t want to see this.”

“Why?”

“BREAK’S OVER! BACK TO WORK!!”

“Need I explain now?”

“Okay……”

**********************************************************************

“Balance yourself . Balance! God dammit don’t you people know the meaning of balance!”

Multiple sweatdrops formed on the back of Tokiya’s head. “Do you have to try this experiment on me!”

“You are the only girl which the boys apparently don’t mind lifting up, so button up!”

“Uh oh….” One boy let Mikagami slip.
“Nooooo…” Tokiya was falling down.

Masashi grabbed her just in time. Tokiya’s face was practically kissing the floor.
All four boys hoisted her back in a normal position.

“That was close,”Masashi breathed.

Tokiya scowled. “ I nearly broke my face, you fool!” she told the guy who let her slip.

“Maybe he couldn’t hold you because you need to lose a bit of weight,” the coach commented.

Tokiya transferred her scowl to the coach “Youuuu….ooooohhhhhhhh…”

Now all four boys had to grab hold of her before she strangled the coach to death.
************************************************************************
“You shouldn’t frustrate your self like that, neechan,” Koganei said as he dragged the kendo student all the way towards Recca’s house.

“I am really going to kill him,” was all she could say. She had been saying that since they began their journey.

“Koganei! You finally came home! My your girlfriends get older by the day!”

Mikagami lifted her head. “Hanabishi’s dad, I presume”

“Is there another” Koganei snickered.

Recca ran out and helped Koganei bring Tokiya inside. “I was going to ask you how your day went, but lets forget about it.” Recca smirked.

*********************************************************************
Kage Houshi inspected her purse
I don’t remember it being so battered when I gave it to Tokiya-san. Oh well maybe because I have had it for one hundred years I didn’t notice what condition it had been in.

“Ano Mikagami, aren’t you being a little rash about the whole situation?” Recca said weakly as he watched Tokiya prepare his ensui.

“Hanabishi…if I go through another day in this body I think I will prefer going to hell!” he charged up his sword.

“Umm … about killing the devil, can he be killed?”

“There’s only one way to find out” Tokiya sliced through the papers in front of him.

“Aaaaaahhh!! My homework!!!!!”

“Sorry … you actually did your homework?”
*******************************************************************

“Aww come on Genie!”

“No!”

“Why not!”

“No. We will go through this the hard way alright!” Genie pushed Tokiya back into his apartment.

The phone was ringing Genie dashed towards it and picked it up. “Moshi moshi….yes this is Yukio-nna Sakura speaking…….oh it’s you, Miss Hiyuki! Yes I did call…”

Tokiya was wondering whom Genie was talking too, though the name sounded pretty familiar
“See, I’m calling on behalf of ‘Kawai N Sexy Central’ magazine and I’m writing this biography on Tokiya Mikagami, and I believe you went to junior high school with him? Would you be kind enough to tell a little about him and your experience with him?”

Genie paused as she listened to the teenager continue

“I am so sorry you felt that way about him…you still feel that way? Hasn’t it been a long time? Ummm alright … gomen for bothering you I must be going now…okay, I won’t mention his name to you ever again.” She sighed and shut the phone.

“Kindly explain…” Tokiya muttered

“Well while you were at school I decided to get in touch with your old colleagues to discover some old crushes, you know that sort of thing?”

“And?”

“They all seem to be the same”

Tokiya rolled his eyes. “Why am I even bothering?”

The phone rang again

“Hello, Miss Chie….yes I am Yukio-nna Sakura and I was wondering if you could tell me what you think of him…what? He is not dead … oh you wish that he was dead … umm anything else … I really can’t write colorful language in the magazine, perhaps…hello?” Genie put down the phone. “Oh my, and I thought Satan was vicious when it comes to describing people.”

Tokiya groaned and rubbed her forehead.
************************************************************************

“So how are things going on with the matchmaking?” Recca asked Tokiya

“Crappy.”

“That bad?”

Tokiya nodded. “Apparently, its kind of hard finding someone. If I was back to the guy Tokiya I could have just gotten hold of the first classmate in sight.”

Recca put his hand on Tokiya’s shoulder. “It will be alright.”

“First of, all take your hand off.”

Recca did as he was told

“Anyway, I am getting a bite to eat. Want to come?”

“Nah, I got to help dad with his fireworks”

“Suits you. See you later”

Tokiya found a ramen noodle stand and sat down there.

“Alright, what will it be?” An extremely familiar voice asked

Tokiya jerked up “M-Miki!”

Miki’s eye’s widened “you know me?”

Tokiya put her head back down. “Umm … you just remind me of someone I know,” she mumbled in a more feminine voice.

Miki eyed Tokiya curiously. “Come to think of it, you remind me of someone too.”

Tokiya covered her face and faked a giggle  “I’m sure it’s just a coincidence ”

Miki shrugged. “Oh well, the person I was thinking of was a guy, but don’t feel offended customer-san” she leaned forward closer to Tokiya. “People mistake him for a girl all the time,” she snickered.

“Well then there is nothing to be offended about.” Tokiya said in a flat tone. Underneath the table his fist was tightly curled ready to punch her.
 

Despite the introduction both of them hit it off pretty well. After a while Miki shut her stand and walked down with Tokiya. “As I was saying, after the combats I decided to open this stand just to help raise money for Aki’s High school fees.”

Tokiya put on her jacket “but what about your studies”.

Miki hung her head. “Natsumi-san, Neon-sama can’t really offered to send us both to school.”

“That was really an unselfish thing you did, considering you have this passion for writing and poetry.”

She smiled at Tokiya. “But I still write short stories. Want to read? You can help me!”

Tokiya hesitated “you want my help?”

“Of course!”

Both of them sat in the park and Tokiya read the stories Miki had in her bag. He enjoyed reading and this was the first time he met a girl who cared more for literature then her personal appearance, though there was nothing wrong with Miki’s appearance at all.

*you happy I fixed it! *

Miki: thank you! You were making me look like a real dog!

*groan I can’t believe I’m writing you like this *
Recca: neither can I. Imagine Miki writing a poem!

Koganei: yeah the title would be ‘I like Ice cream because….’

Miki: Echo Slasher!

*knock it off! *

“These are really good!”

“Really?”

Tokiya adjusted her glasses, she wasn’t expecting Miki to be much of a writer, especially with her encounter with the sister duo in the dark martial combat. Tokiya had not only found Miki a pain in the butt but also she seemed always to be like ‘hai Neon-sama’ this and ‘hai Neon-sama’ that. Perhaps it was just the mood of the fight that made her behave the way she had.

That’s it! If I can just open up to people then I can easily find out how they are really like! And then find a match.

As they were departing Tokiya began running fast.

“Natsumi-san! What’s the hurry?”

“I just discovered something! I will see you later!” Tokiya ran faster, but then she tripped over again.

*Crash *

“Natsumi-san! You alright?”

Tokiya growled and picked up one of her shoes. “It’s these damn heels! They’ve been making me fall over for the past week!” She threw it in a certain direction.

“Naaaaatsumi! Genie has been….” The heel hit Domon straight on the forehead.

“Oops.” Tokiya said, though I really doubt that Tokiya was honestly sorry.

Domon was mumbling something about extremely vicious women.

“Itaiiii, Natsumi Genie has been looking all over for you!”

“Why?”

“She just said get him-er her over as soon as possible.”

Domon ran but Natsumi simply walked.
