Once the party started, the guests started to fill in. There were a lot of business people and some of the world's best fighters. Suddenly, Hana and the others just arrived.
"Hazuki!!!" Hana run to Hazuki and gave him a big hug.
"It so good to see you. I know you're excited for Haru's race tonight." Hana nods.
"Is Karin here yet?" Hana was ready to see her best friend; however, Hazuki shook his head 'no'.
-----------------------------------------------------------
"Are you nervous for your race?" Sousuke asked as he was getting dresed for work. He was talking with guy with maroon hair over video chat.
<A little. But I know either me or Haru will win.>
Sousuke suddenly heard the train stop in its tracks. It was Miss Kanzuki herself and he had to get going.
"I got to go. Good luck Rin. I'll be watching, Love you. " Rin winked before Sousuke hung up and rushed to the entrance.
-----------------------------------------------------------
"Oh HoHoHo!!!!" A young blonde soars through the sky and lands gracefully on her feet; although, she ended up landing on Birdie's head.
"With the speed and sound of the wind. Lovely, welcome back, Miss Karin." Sousuke bows out of respect for the Head of the Kanzuki Family. "And how is the Prime Minister?"
"He's well if not a bit boring. It's seems that Birdie is nowhere in sight." Karin said in the most elegant and well-mannered way.
"You know, she has one of the best techniques passed to all Heads of the Kanzuki family: the Kanzuki Sekkujutsu. It's nothing but flawless." Hazuki always admired Karin. They always trained and worked together. Together, they also grew in their fighting styles and grew as civil people.
"That's amazing. She always excelled at a lot of things. Reminds me of Rei." Yui said.
"You just sent me ass over tea kettle." Birdie got back upset and hurt.
"How about some after-meal exercise?" Karin positioned herself to fight.
"Huh, haven't eaten nothin' yet."
"How considerate of you, but I just dined with the Prime Minister."
"Hey, I wasn't talking about your meal!"
Near the end Birdie got back up and was a about to wrap her in his chains, but Karin was able to execute the Kanzuki-Ryu Hadarokushiki Hasha no Kata again, which this time sent Birdie into table in the ballroom.
"Wow. She's so strong." Nagisa and Rei were suprised at what they and somewhat intimidated. But, they still thought she was amazing.
"You think that's something watch this." Hazuki left leaving Nagisa and Rei wondering was he was up to.
"This won't do. This doesn't even work as a proper warm-up." Karin was disappointed as she looked down at Birdie on the floor. Suddenly, a swift kick almost hit Karin in the head; however, she managed to dodge. She smiled because she knew who would have the guts to do it: Hazuki.
"Then why don't you face the real deal." Hazuki had a devious look as well as Karin.
"Shall we begin?" Karin asked
"Bring It!!!"
-----------------------------------------------------------
It was a very close match since Karin and Hazuki knew each other all too well. Hazuki had Karin stunned and executed the Kaisen Dankairaku, but, it wasn't enough. Karin caused him to let his guard down and hit a Kanzuki-Ryu Hadarokushiki Hasha no Kata, which led her to victory. Karin gave Hazuki a hand and he raised her hand up out respect for his friend. That caused a whole cheer and round of applause by all of the guests. Out of love, Karin gave her Vice a hug. Suddenly, they both hear a voice.
"What a match. I couldn't expect anything less from my wife anyway." It was they knew all too well.
Karin turned around to see a tall, olive-green hair man. It was none other than Makoto Tachibana. She ran straight to him and gave him a big hug and kiss. It turns out Miss Karin Kanzuki is also Mrs. Tachibana.
"Is Birdie going to be okay down there?" With his kind heart, Makoto was a bit concerned.
"Oh he'll be fine. I'm so glad to see you." Karin smiled. She smiled even more once she saw all of her friends. Hana, Yui, and Hinata couldn't help but surround Karin with a huge group hug. Nagisa and Rei joined in too.
-----------------------------------------------------------
As the party went on, everything was cool, calm, and collected. The band was playing, people were dancing and getting along, and Birdie kept eating. Suddenly, Makoto and Karin went over to see Hazuki.
"I've been meaning to ask. Where is the newest addition to the swim team?" Karin asked.
"I honestly don't know, but I have an idea where." Hazuki went straight to the pool where any good swimmer would be. Once he got there, he saw Natsuya finishing his last lap before he called.
"I like the dedication." Hazuki reached out a hand to Natsuya to help him out of the pool. "Karin wants to meet you."
Hazuki waited while Natsuya showered and freshened up. Once he was done, he realized something. "Uh Hazuki.... I don't have anything formal to wear." Hazuki can only laugh at Natsuya's embarrassed look. He grabbed Natsuya to his an simply got him a suit.
In Hazuki's it was very spacious. Natsuya was amazed at how big it was. It was a room that red walls with black and burgundy details along with black carpet. Hazuki gave Natsuya a simple black tux that happened to fit perfectly on him. Hazuki couldn't help but notice how sharp his friend looked.
"Can you help me with this bow tie?" Natsuya asked as Hazuki snapped out of his thoughts and came over to help. Once the bow tie was in place, they both locked eyes with each other. Natsuya smiled as it brought back a little bit of nostalgia from back in junior high. He always smiled whenever he saw those blue eyes.
"We should get going." Hazuki broke the moment and Natsuya simply followed him back to the party.
