*Chapter 3* Who Will Be The Next Leader

(A few guys stood outside a market. They were slicing fruits with katanas and laughing around. A man covered with white bandages walked up to them. He had long black hair hanging down his back. One of the guys saw him and walked over to him.)

Guy one: "Out of here. Shouldn't you be at the hospital with those injuries."

(His friends started laughing at his 'joke'. The bandaged man slowly pulled out a katana from his back that was hidden by his hair.)

Guy one: "Oh ok. You wanna do this. Tommy, throw me a sword."

(Tommy threw him a sword and he caught it and was ready to fight. His friends were chanting for him to mess him up and rip him to shreds. The guy ran at him and swung his sword.)

(Reo walked downstairs from his room. He just woke up, he was exhausted. He could've slept longer, but it was ten and he knew Kazu would yell at him if he slept any longer. He walked into the living room and it looked like everyone was standing around Kazu.)

Reo: "What the hell is going on?"

Dai: "We're figuring out who's the next leader. Obviously you don't care, or you would've woken up at the time we said we were gonna wake up."

Reo: "When did you say we gotta wake up early?"

Dai: "I didn't say it, I wrote it. On the bulletin board."

(Dai pointed across the room where there was in fact a bulletin board. There was a piece of paper and on it was in big writing 'WAKE UP AT 9:00 AM TOMORROW FOR CHOOSING NEW LEADER'.)

Reo: "I don't read that crap."

Taku: "Well neither does Kazu cuz he won't choose a damn leader."

Kazu: "Listen guys I'm sorry. I'm not gonna choose anyone yet, it's too early."

Ruri: "Not trying to be rude or anything, but you are supposed to say goodbye in 3 days."

Kazu: "Heh, yea, too early."

Yui: "Oh come on Kazu. Just say it. No one is gonna get their feelings hurt."

Taku: *cough cough* "Not everyone agreed to that."

Sara: "Everyone calm down. It's Kazu's team, if he doesn't wanna choose anyone yet, let him wait."

Kazu: "Thank you, Sara. That was very mature of you."

Sara: "Hey, you're welcome Kazu. I'm just being very mature, and very strong, and leading everyone to be better because that's the person I am."

(Kazu looked at her for a minute.)

Kazu: "I'm still not choosing."

(Sara started shaking him.)

Sara: "But I was leading everyone so gooood. I was mature and and strong and..."

(Dai took her off him.)

Dai: "Get out of here, Sara. There you go Kazu. I got you always, just remember that when your choosing a leader."

Yui: "Hey hey hey, Kazu, I can cook you up a feast for your trip to wherever you're going, just do me a favor..."

Taku: "Come on Kazu, look at me. You need a hot leader so the ladies have something to look at."

Reo: "Everyone shut up!"

(Everyone stopped talking and looked over to Reo. Reo talked while walking towards Kazu.)

Reo: "What the hell is wrong with everybody. It's a leader position, who wants that. I understand

Dai, cuz he's a nerd, but i mean Sara, Yui, Taku? I know Taku definitely doesn't wanna do extra work."
