".....Hey, Morgana. "You're not gonna leave me too are you?"

"Where's this coming from?" Morgana asks in concern.

"Obviously these Kamis left for a specific reason. Whatever it is you're gonna end up doing, don't leave me out of it, or I'll kill you."

Morgana softly smiles, and asks, "Well what about you? You seem like there's something you've been wanting to do for a long time."

Kimiko sighs and gets up from after sitting under the tree for so long.

"Yeah, I want it to get done as soon as possible." She says, with a serious glare. "And I need to find the secret of a Kami's power to do so... so I can find an alternative power and carry out my personal mission."

Morgana observes Kimiko's body language and face in concern before she gets up along with her and says, "Well whatever it is you're gonna do I'm gonna help you with whatever you need me to."

"You probably shouldn't get involved."

"Why, what is it?"

"I'm going to ### ####### ### ## ######."

"....I see....."

"I never liked being home. To me, it was like the scariest thing in the world. But I didn't like being at school either. So I spent most of my days sitting in this abandoned shed, hoping for someone to keep me company."

Morgana and Kimiko make it back to academy in time for taijutsu, the second class of the day.

They slide open the doors to the dojo. Before them is the usual scene. The walls are lined up with each students' belongings, mainly their bags, katanas, and kimonos. The children, dressed in navy blue tshirts and gym shorts are talking amongst each other, other children are setting up equipment by the sensei's orders meanwhile the sensei walks around and takes attendance.

"Yo! Morgana, Kimiko!" yells a voice. Morgana and Kimiko turn their heads to a close friend, named Joudo. Beside him, another close friend named Karma.

Joudo is an athletic, charming, and enthusiastic boy with curly light brown hair that falls over his forehead with pink glistening eyes.

Karma, in comparison, is a calm, blunt, and sometimes rational boy with straight red hair with a light shade of orange for his eyes.

"Hey you guys, check out the new sensei. Do you think she can teach us properly?" Joudo asks.

"A new sensei?" Kimiko asks in surprise as she removes her kimono, revealing her dojo uniform. "What happened to Loki?"

"I heard he got killed in the Hanafuda battlefield." Karma replies.

"Oh! Thank, god!" Kimiko exclaims. "I would've killed him myself."

"As much as I hate it...I can't say I'm not excited either." Joudo sighs. "He was way too strict and abusive."

"No argument here." Karma says.

Morgana, quietly listening to the conversation frowns, and says, "Come on.. he was still a living person."

"You're telling me you would forgive him after everything he did to us?" Kimiko asks. "That guy even reminded you of your own father!"
