??????? ?? ?????: The Next Generation. {BOOK 1/2.}

It has been only a day since Toda and Mai became a duo and they already gotten very close. And then three more people joined their group...

DAY 4:

Toda and Mai were fighting a demon. She was very strong it knocked the duo to the ground. Their swords falling out of their hands. "Oh no! We're defenseless!" Toda said. The demon walked up to them. "You girls look so good, TO EAT!" The demon snarled. Mai and Toda found it hard to get up. They couldn't find the strength.

"You're mine now girls!" She said. But before she could lay a finger on them, a mysterious person came up behind her and slashed off her head.

Her head departed from her body and slowly crumbled to dust.

Toda and Mai finally got up and the mysterious person was cleaning their sword. Their back to the girl's faces.

"Thank you so much for saving us!" Mai said. "Thank you!" Toda said as the girls bowed down. They turned around. She had lovely, white hair and beautiful makeup on. She also had some very big earrings and she had a white haori on with a striped haori with fur around the top and arms with fur boots.

"No problem..." she said. The two stared in confusion. Her voice was low and deep until the two realized:

"YOU'RE A BOY?!" the two shouted.

He nodded. "But, no offense but you look nothing like a boy." Mai said. "I know, it's a family tradition. We wear makeup like this, even the boys." He said.

"OK, my name is Mai Yasuraoka! And this is Toda Momiji!" Mai introduced, trying to change the topic.

"My name is Seiji Yukinari." Seiji said.

"Hey, how would you like to be in our group?" Toda asked. Seiji went quiet. These girls seem really nice, plus they didn't say anything about not forming groups. Seiji thought.

"Sure..." Seiji said.

The two girls jumped with joy, "This group is getting bigger and bigger." Mai said.

DAY 5:

The three of them looked around for any signs of demons. Keep your breathing low. And hold onto that sword as tight as possible. Mai thought to herself. Toda and Seiji said the same thing.

All of their eyes flickered from one side to another. Until they heard yelling from afar. They all stopped and stared confused before they could see a girl changing towards them with her sword drawn out! And beat them all up to the floor. She held her kitana to Mai's chest. And breathed heavily.

Toda and Seiji dared not to move.

Mai took a closer look at the girl and immediately realized who it was.

"Hoshiko?!" Mai said out loud. The girl stopped gasping. And her sword was dangling over Mai's chest. Everyone was quiet.

"M-M-M-Mai?" The girl asked, putting her sword away. She held out a hand to Mai before squeezing her to death.

"OMG MAI! I THOUGHT I WOULD NEVER SEE YOU AGAIN!" Hoshiko said.

She had blue eyes and blue hair. She wore a purple kimono with a blue, purple and corn blue haori that had star patterns on it. And her hair was filled with star pins.

Hoshiko turned to Toda and Seiji who were still on the floor. "Sorry about that!" Hoshiko apologized as she helped both of them up. "You girls OK?" She asked. "Girls?" Seiji repeated.

"Yeah aren't you - wait a second, are you a-" "Yes I am a boy who is dressed like a girl, it's a family tradition." Seiji explained.

"Oh, sorry!" Hoshiko said.
