"Oh, come on. You can't say you didn't enjoy it." I said to Kiyo as we walked to school, chatting. He had picked me up from my house and we were going to school together. He chuckled. "Well, I most certainly can say that was fun," He said, his eyes trained on me. I laughed. We talked until we got to school, before heading to our lockers to put our things away. Shuichi, Kaede, Maki, Kaito, Keebo, and another girl with blond hair and a pink outfit, who introduced herself as Miu, the Ultimate Inventor.

As I walked over to my locker, I noticed Kaede and Shuichi were following me. "So?" She asked as I got to my locker. "How'd the date go?" I laughed. "You're very nosy, Kaede." "Meh, I like hearing about this stuff." She giggled. "So how was it?" "Fine." I replied, putting my backpack in my locker and turning my phone off before putting it in my pocket. "Fine? That's it? That's all you're gonna give me? Come on. I wanna hear the details." She exclaimed, bouncing on the balls of her feet while staring at me. I laughed. "Nothing really important happened. We went out for coffee, talked, went back to his place, worked on our project, and that was it." I said, but my face betrayed me as I remembered us making out yesterday.

"Liar. You're blushing." She smiled and poked me. I laughed again. "Fine. You got me. But I'm not saying what happened. You gotta guess." I said. "Ooh a challenge." Kaede said. But before she could open her mouth again to guess, Shuichi said, "He kissed you, didn't he." Kaede turned to Shuichi and then back to me, mouth wide open. "He kissed you? Really? Like, on the lips?" She said, mouth still agape. I couldn't help it. I burst out laughing at the sight of her. After I was done, I looked back up at her and nodded. "So you've seen under his mask. What's he look like? How was it?" She asked rapidly. "Geez hold on. I've seen under his mask, yes. I'm not gonna say what he looks like. That's his secret."

"It was nice, actually." I smiled. "Wow. But wouldn't it be a bit strange, kissing another guy? I mean, assuming that you're gay," she stopped when I raised a hand. "It was a bit strange, and I don't like putting a label on stuff like that, so it wasn't all that weird."

"Tell me more," Kaede said as the bell began to ring, and Miss Yukizome's voice rung out, "Everyone. Time for class!"

We walked into class and sat down, whispering to one another as we did. "Quiet down please. We've got something special to do today." Miss Yukizome said. "We're going to be visiting one of your homes, as a way to show off your talent. Now, I've put all your names in a basket, and I will draw one of them to see whose home we will be visiting." She placed her hand into the basket, shook it for a moment, and then pulled out a slip of paper. She opened it, smiled, and read the name. "Horiuchi! After school today we will be visiting your house, if that's alright with you."

Everyone began to chatter as I nodded, glad to be able to show off my expertise and my talent. When the bell rang, everyone got up and grabbed their things, before following me. People began to talk, discussing quietly what they thought I lived in. While we were talking, I  quickly texted my mom that the class was coming over to look at the place. Someone nudged my arm, and I looked up to see Kiyo looking at me. "Hey." I said. "Hello. Are you doing alright?" He responded. I nodded. "I'm fine. Why are you worried about me so much?" I asked, lowering my voice slightly.

"Well, I care about you, and I wish for you to be well." He said. I looked up to see the gate up ahead. "We're almost there." I said loudly to the class. As we made it to the gate some of them stopped to gape at the house. "You live here?" Kaito asked. "Yep." I said, nodding to him. I showed them around the house, before coming to a stop at the training yard.

"This is where I train. I practice using weapons and martial arts here." I explained. "What's that big silver thing over there?" Rantaro asked, pointing at the weapons wall. "It looks like a giant mirror," Tenko said, brushing her hair out of her face. "Well, it's not a mirror." I said, walking up to it. I again snapped my fingers, and the wall opened to again reveal my weapons. "Wow." Miss Yukizome said, marveling at them.

I pulled two swords from the weapon wall and began to swing them in a complicated pattern I had been trying to learn. I messed up on the seventh move, which was supposed to be a straight uppercut, but veered off to be diagonal. I then set the swords back on the wall, and grabbed a bow and a quiver of arrows from the wall. I then turned and fired three arrows, which all landed in the center of the targets that had been set up. A few people whistled as I set the bow down, but Tenko grumbled, "Typical degenerate male."  "Oh come on Tenko," Kaito said. "It was pretty impressive."

I smiled, and then fired three more arrows, which split the other three center arrows in half. Kaito, Rantaro, and Tenko gaped. "That's n-not possible. No degenerate could have that much skill." Tenko said. I laughed, putting the bow away and drawing the swords again, and pointed one to the class. "Anyone want to duel? As a show of skill?" I challenged.

A voice spoke up, coming from someone I definitely wouldn't have expected to respond. "I will."

Miss Yukizome stepped forward, a smile on her face as I handed her the sword. "Are you sure?" I asked. She nodded. "There are many things you have to learn to earn a living, Yoshiro-San." I laughed, and we took our places. "I'm going to try my best, so don't go easy on me!" She said from across the field before slipping into a stance. "I won't." I responded, before going into a defensive stance. Kirumi stepped forward, and raised her hand in the air, which I took as the signal to get ready. She lowered her hand with a swish, and said, "Begin!"
