Chapter 22

"Yuzuki." The voice behind the hand shaking her shoulder muttered. "Yuzuki, you have to wake up." She grumbled something incoherent and Riku looked toward Hazu who was changing the bandage on his leg, already dressed and ready to go.

Hazu returned his gaze and raised an eyebrow tying his head band into place.

"You try." Riku said throwing his pasty hands up in the air in defeat. "I'm going to eat breakfast." He silently exited the room as Hazu took the position at the edge of her futon. Without a word he grabbed the mattress and completely flipped it over.

Yuzuki shrieked and launched herself at him in rage, waking up instantly, catching Hazu in surprise he grunted as they collided to the ground. At the sound Riku bolted back into the room, an empty bowl in one hand, and stared at the uproar before him.

Yuzuki had changed into a nightshirt that Daisuke had given her from his land-lady, her hair sticking out from all sides of her head. Her lips pulled back in a snarl as she hissed at Hazu who was on top of her at this point trying to pin her hands to the ground. Hazu's half tied headband had fallen around his neck as Yuzuki kicked and thrashed against him bringing her leg up between them to throw him off of herself. She instantly latched on top of him, trying to pin him. In this manner, they turned into a rolling mass of fighting flesh, each trying to get the upper hand to no avail.

"Are you two serious right now?"

Riku exhaled heavily and walked back out leaving them to their senseless fight as he rolled his eyes.

He heard a thud behind him, and didn't bother to turn around. Hazu's words drifted to his ears however.

"The people of this village aren't like the ones you killed in that dump that you came from." He hissed at her her wrists pinned to the ground above her head, both of them breathing heavily. "If you want to attack someone you better get a whole lot stronger." He let go of her and stood up adjusting his clothes, her red eyes burned with rage but Yuzuki knew when she was beaten. She leaned up on her elbows and smirked.

"I will win next time."

Hazu smirked down at her, "Yeah right, I'd like to see you try."

That was the end of that, for now. Hazu left and Yuzuki changed into her clothes which smelled newly washed. From the assessing look Riku gave her, she assumed it was his work.

She sat heavily at the table, shooting Hazu a glare as he adjusted his headband before glancing at the bowl in front of her.

"What is this?"

"Cereal. For breakfast" Riku stated draining his bowl of milk and Hazu poured his own.

"What about bacon?"

"We don't have any bacon."

"Daisuke had bacon."

"Daisuke goes on real missions." Hazu cut in, "He doesn't have to play baby sitter all the time." Yuzuki snarled at him but sat and ate the cereal.

Riku cleared his throat pointedly and they both glanced toward him. "I'm taking Yuzuki to the training field for today's lesson." Hazu groaned then nodded.

"Fine, fine."

"What's wrong with the training field?" Yuzuki asked carefully, glancing at his leg unable to see the bandages.

Hazu didnt even look at her as he poured a second bowl of milk and then added cereal. "I train at night, so there is no need to train in the day." He set the bowl down in front of her then handed her a spoon before sitting across from her starting to eat his own meal.
