As I finished cleaning getting dressed, I made my way back to training. I was about to head outside until I noticed Sanemi again. He was talking to someone with black mohawk hair.

I never seen him around before. Maybe their friends...

I decided to stay with what I thought and walked away. I sat down on the porch waiting for Sanemi. Their conversation was happening inside just behind me.

I turned around to see if I could see their silhouettes. I could, they were small. But one seemed to be getting bigger at the moment, really fast.

Then, the boy and another crashed through the wall. I quickly jumped out of the way and watched from a safe distance.

Was there an attack going on? Maybe it's a demon.

I heard a distorted rasping noise coming from inside. I didn't have my sword with me at all. I waited for the demon to come out, but...

It was Sanemi!

I wanted to call out his name but was interrupted by the burgundy haired boy.

"What are you doing!? Are you trying to kill Genya!?"

"I'm not killing him. That would be easy, but again the code of conduct." Sanemi said hoping down for the porch.

"I'll just leave him incapable of regenerating. When he does, he can won't the demon hunters and I'll forgive him." Sanemi said with an unsettling grin.

A fight recently broke out. I left to go find the guy that Sanemi attacked. I wonder what he meant by forgiving him?

I soon found him. I quickly caught up with him.

"H-hello," I greeted.

He looked at me and continued to do so. We stood in silence for a while.

"I'm [Full Name], what's your name?" I asked.

He starred at me for a few more seconds and answered.

"Shinazugawa Genya!" he yelled, bowed and ran away. I blinked in confusion. I chased after him. He noticed me and just ran faster.

I increased my pace and continued to follow him. Shinazugawa? That would mean he's Sanemi's brother.

"Are you Sanemi's brother?" I asked.

He slowly stopped running, I stopped too. I walked next to him, he was really tall.

"Did something happen between you two?"

"Why do you care?" he asked me, sounding quite harsh.

"S-sorry. I was just wondering," I answered. "I never knew he had a brother."

"He doesn't see me as his brother anymore," he said crossing his arms.

"Why?" I asked.

"What with all these questions?"

"I'm just curious..."

"Hm... I just said something really rude back when we were younger."

"I see..." I said. I got closer to him and placed him in a hug. I felt his body tense up. "I'm sure he'll forgive you someday, you just have to wait."

I let go of him and patted him on the back. "I'll see you some other time Shinzugawa-Kun!" I said as I ran back to the dojo.

W-why is my chest beating so fast. Is it because she hugged me. No, I've been hug by a ton of girls before. My mother, my sister... that really it.

Her name was [Name]...

That's a pretty name...
