Kyoto

Takeru Arai

Aoi's P.O.V.

The next day, my brother, Takeru, and I had our first training with Christina. When I introduced Takeru to Christina, his eyes brightened.

I'm not sure how both me and my brother got a mutation. Especially considering that we're not twins.

"What's first?" I asked Christina.

"I wanna see what ya got." Our new sensei answered.

She tested us in martial arts, accuracy in throwing shuriken, and katana fighting.

"Wow! There's not much for me to teach either of you."

"Really?" Takeru asked. "How about you go out to eat with me to celebrate?"

"Takeru, I don't think that Christina-san wants to go on a date with her pupil." My brother can be quite ignorant.

"Actually, I would love to, but as friends. I have a boyfriend." Christina replied.

"Really? What's his name?" Takeru pried.

"Haruto Fujimoto." Christina-san answered.

"The mind reader?" I asked.

"Hey guys. How's training?" The voice of Haruto Fujimoto came from one of the many entrances to the courtyard.

"Haru!" Christina grinned as her boyfriend approached carrying a platter of sushi.

"I brought a snack." Haruto smiled.

"Haruto, this is Takeru. He's the other new recruit. Takeru, this is Haruto." Christina introduced the two guys as Haruto put the sushi platter on the stone picnic table.

"So this is your boyfriend." My brother frowned.

"Yes, this is him." Christina nodded.

"You're a very lucky man to have such a beautiful girlfriend." Takeru's grimace deepened.

"I know I am." Haruto wrapped his arm around Christina's waist.

"Why does everyone say that? I'm not that pretty. Nobody ever talks about how pretty Maye is, except for Taisei and that Zach kid, but we could be twins."

"Maye is your cousin, right?" I asked her.

"You catch on quickly." Christina grinned brightly.

"Christina, you are that pretty." Haruto opposed. He leaned forward and kissed the short American girl on the forehead.

"Whoa, guys. We don't wanna see that!" I complained as the other four ninjas came into the courtyard.

I noticed that Yuki had a ring on her left ring finger.

"Yuki and I have news." Ryoto announced. "We're engaged."

"Oh! That reminds me!" Haruto enthused as he turned to Christina and knelt on one knee. "Christina Ray, will you allow me the honor to call you my wife?"

Haruto held out an engagement ring as Christina started grinning wickedly. "Yes."
