Cantarella (Crossovers)

Getting To Know Each Other

The class full of meisters, minus Yukio, had stacked the desk together and brought the chairs into a wide circle.

"Let's play a game!" Usagi grinned.

"A game?" Konekomaru asked.

"Yeah! So, we can get to know each other better."

"That's actually not a bad idea." Sanosuke looked at his sister in awe.

Rin snorted and Shuguro barked out a laugh.

Haninozuka giggled, "Sounds fun. Five questions each go in a circle and answer the same five questions. Then go out of order once we're done with those and ask any question you want to anyone."

Everyone blinked, except for Usagi and Sanosuke. "What?" Haninozuka frowned.

Konekomaru answered, "Did you just come up with that now?"

"Yes, I figured Usagi-chan wouldn't have an idea pass the 'let's play a game' tidbit," She got up and walked towards the blackboard. "No disagreements?"

They all shook their heads no. Truthfully it did sound fun; childish yes, but fun.

"Ok. So five pretty normal questions. Any ideas?" Haninozuka asked looking at each of them.

"Ano... I have one. Favorite food or dish?" Moriyama suggested shyly.

"Ooh! That's a good one, Moriyama-san!"

Slowly five questions came:
Favorite food or dish?
Favorite animal?
When's your birthday?
Favorite childhood memory?
Least liked candy?

Laughter filled the classroom as they slowly got to know each other.

"Usagi-san, what's your favorite childhood memory?" Izumo asked looking across to the girl opposite of herself.

"Eh... there was one time Yuki-chan was ten and myself twelve. It was when we first met too, anyways, it was snowing and I was skating in a nearby park. Yuki-chan was sitting on bench watching me, Yuki-chan was always a serious child. She watched until the ice cracked when I did a jump, landed and fell in. She got me out of the water. That's my favorite memory of when Yuki-chan became my best friend, I vowed I would get stronger to protect my Hime-sama."

Usagi's eyes filled with tears, but she had a bright smile.

Haninozuka's face was impassive, "Baka! Don't embarrass me like that!" A loud bang was heard.

They all watched Usagi's body go backwards, although Sanosuke caught her before she hit the ground. They blinked wondering what just happened, hearing Usagi murmurs of 'So pretty. Pretty swirls.'

Everyone turned to face the other girl who held a gun in her hand.

"Oi! Where the hell did that come from!?" Rin and Shuguro yelled together.

Haninozuka's dark forest green eyes blinked and then stared at her hand, "Oh. Hehe. Sorry, it's a habit. Who is next?"

Rin, Konekomaru, Shuguro, Shima stared at the tiny girl.

Shemei giggled, but looked worried to the still down girl, "I believe it's your turn, Hani-chan."

The now dubbed 'Hani-chan' smiled warily, "Is it? How strange. Well... my favorite memory was back when I was five and my Aniki was ten. It was during a Sakura Festival. My Aniki caught one that fell from the tree we were playing under and gave it to me stating that even though I was born on March 14th that I was much too serious, pretty and young. I should enjoy being a child while it last. My Aniki..."

Hani-chan's eyes grew hard as the only person to hear the last part was Rin.

'My Aniki, I'm going to save him, even if it cost me my own life.'

"So, you weren't a 'regular' child then?" Izumo asked.

"Nope!" Hani-chan dragged out the 'p' "Haven't you noticed I'm not wearing the school's uniform? Although I am wearing one." She grinned.

"Nani!?" They looked at her, like really looked. Pink hair tied up by tight red ribbons, a black blazer, white dress shirt and a large red scarf wrapped around her neck. A dark green skirt, combat boots, and bandages that started from the top of her knees to just barely inside of the boots.
