     There were four of the five already in the corner they were in yesterday. "So, has anyone seen Suri?" Xain asked. As if on cue she ran through the door way as the bell rang. "I made it!" She said out loud. She joined the group in the back. "Hey guys what's going on?"  She asked setting her stuff down on her desk. "Oh! Zenshi is Zenku, he beat up three guys who tried to take advantage of Kana-san and now he is going to train Misa-chan to fight." Kai said clearing it up. Suri looked confused. "Ok...what is a Zenku, who are Kana and Misa and wait a minute did you say three guys?" She asked. Zenshi nodded. "Was it a tall guy and two shorter guys?" She asked. "Yeah...what happened?" Zenshi asked suddenly serious. "No-nothing! They tried to mess with me but Kazaki-kun and Cao-kun helped me out." She said smiling with the slightest red tinge on her cheeks.

     The others didn't notice but Zenshi surely did. She was still smiling. Zenshi poked her cheek. "Methinks that there be more to this than you are telling us." He said grinning. Suri's face grew a deep red. "Wh-what?" She asked. "Sorry for being late again students..." Bane-sensei said as he staggered through the door. His hair was slightly messy and his shirt was partially untucked, his eyes showed clear signs of exhaustion.

     Zenshi stood with his arm raised slightly. "Uh..Sensei?" He asked. Bane turned to him. "Hangover?" Zenshi asked with a straight face. "Oh no I was just trai-...grading papers all night." He said trying to avoid what he almost said. "Alright student..s..." He tried to say before his head hit the desk and snoring was heard.

     The door slid open and in walked a student with black hair to his shoulders. "Um...does he do this everyday?" He asked pointing to the teacher. Kazaki stood and spoke. "Hello Sano. I did not know you were going to be transferred here." He said. "Kazaki? Dude! It's been forever!" Sano said noticing the shorter male. "How have you been old friend?" Kazaki asked. "Well you know doing the whole magic thing..." He started. 'M-m-magic?! He just up and blurted it out...this could be bad...' Kai thought. "But my tricks keep getting better." Sano said with a smile. "Mind showing me one?" Zenshi asked already jumping into the conversation. This caught Sano off-guard. "Ah! Uh. Sure I guess. Do you like magic?" He asked. "I love magic tricks." Zenshi replied with a smile. "Good then you won't mind helping me out." Sano said as he reached in his pockets and pulled out a pack of unopened cards, and a throwing knife.

     "I do tricks that mess with people's minds. I try to surpass my idol even though he is light years ahead of me." Sano said handing the cards to Kazaki. "Open the cards shuffle them and let this guy pick one." Sano said as he turned his back to them. "Alright." Kazaki and Zenshi did as they were told. "Now put it back in there and have Kazaki shuffle them again." He said. Zenshi handed the card to him and Kazaki shuffled the cards together. "Done."

     Sano turned and slid his knife out. "Okay who isn't afraid of being hit by a knife?" He asked with a slight chuckle. "I'll do it just hurry up I want to see where this is going." Kazaki said. "Alright then. Throw the cards up in the air when I count to three." Sano said taking a few steps back. "One..." He started holding the knife by the blade. "Two..." He continued with a deep breath. "THREE!" He yelled. The cards flew up and he threw the knife. It stuck through a card and in the wall.

     "Wait don't touch it." Sano said. "What was the card?" He asked. "6 of Diamonds." Zenshi said. Sano walked over to the card and pulled it off the wall. "Is that the 6 of Diamonds?" He asked showing the card to the crowd that had noticed the trick. People stood wide eyed, some asking how he did it and some asking 'What the hell?!'. He held up the exact card. "This trick is actually one of my easier ones..." He said wiping his hands turning to Kazaki. "So about that..." He continued as if nothing happened.

     Kai, walking away from the crowd, sighed in relief. 'He meant those silly parlor tricks...thank goodness...' She thought as she walked back to her seat. The bell rang after a short while. This woke Bane. "Uh..what?" He asked watching the students leaving the room. "Aw man..." He yawned and left as well.

     Misa had walked into the gym looking around. "Misa! What time do you have to get to work tonight?" Zenshi asked. Misa looked around again to see if she could locate him. "Um...I'm actually off tonight." Perfect!" He said landing next to her and effectively scarring the life out of her. "Ze-Zenshi! What was that about?!" She asked angry out of embarrassment. "What?" He asked. "I was climbing the rope." He said pointing to the rope next to the door. "Oh..." She replied.

     "Well you see the mats are out I'm waiting for Xain to get his gear on." He said, Misa finally noticing that he was wearing a loose black shirt, thick gloves and shorts. "Oh okay..." She said trying not to stare at his physique. Xain came out of the back wearing something similar to what Zenshi was except the shorts were a different color. "Ready?" Zenshi asked getting into a fighting stance.

     Zenshi's stance was...unique to say the least. He was crouched down, his left leg was in a normal spot but his right was out in front of him, his arms were up around his head. Xain took a basic fighting stance and replied. "You know it." The two of them began circling each other waiting for the first move.

     Xain threw a wide kick which was blocked by Zenshi's knee. 'His strange foot placement offered a wide defense from kicks.' Misa noted as he blocked more kicks. Xain started for another kick then pulled his leg back and swung his right hand fiercely. The move caught Zenshi's jaw but he took the hit and grabbed said arm with both hands. "Crap!" Xain said already knowing what was going to happen.

     Before Misa could take note of how he grabbed the arm she saw him already both legs off the ground his left leg wrapping around Xain's head and the other hooking with his left. Then pulling Xain to the ground in a Gogoplata. Xain started to punch whatever part of Zenshi's body he could reach before he started feeling light headed. The move was released and Xain's body hit the floor. "Well he lasted longer than Ling..." Zenshi said stretching out after the match was declared over. "Z-zenshi shouldn't we help him or something?" Misa asked worried about her friend. "Huh? Oh probably..." He said walking away. "Then why are you walking away?!" She yelled at him. "He'll be alright...maybe..." He said smiling. "Come on you need to get dressed to start practice." He said walking away again. Misa looked to Xain who was still immobile and then to Zenshi who was acting as if nothing was wrong. Then Xain started coughing. "Damn it..." He said holding his throat. He turned to her. "He got me again didn't he?" Xain asked. She nodded.

     The time flew as she began her lessons. They had decided to end the night at ten. Misa was on her knees with her hands on the ground and she had a hard time catching her breath as she tried to stand. "Alright Misa time to break off for tonight go get some rest." Zenshi said smiling. Misa got enough strength to stand as she bowed. "Yes thank you Sensei." She said as she struggled to walk to the changing rooms. Zenshi's smile dropped when he saw her run into the wall. "...She may need some help getting home..." Xain pointed out. "Yeah I got that..." Zenshi said.

     Zenshi held a sleeping Misa on his back, still in her training gear, as he and Xain walked her to her home. The guys realized after five minutes of walking that...they don't know where she lives...

     Kana had been walking to the gym to check on Misa. 'She is taking too long to get home...' She thought as she walked. The bushes next to her rustled. "Ah! Wh-wh-who's there?" She asked. She looked around before she heard yelling. "I told you not to piss off those dogs!" a familiar voice said. "But they were fluffy!" Another said. They both ran out of the bushes and into Kana. "Ow..." Kana said trying to get her bearings straight. She looked up and saw Zenshi, Xain and a sleeping Misa on Zenshi's back. "Kana? What are you doing out this late?" Zenshi asked. "Looking for her...what happened to her?" She asked. "She trained until she dropped...Literally." Zenshi said with a slight laugh. "We tried to take her home but we didn't know where she lived..." Xain said.

     "Oh don't worry follow me and I'll take you there." Kana said leading the way. "So how was her practice?" She asked. "She was like a sponge." Zenshi said. "What?" Kana asked. "She picked up everything so easily. After Xain and I fought she began, when she did, she was using a combination of our stances. It amazed me how easily she picked up on some of the more difficult moves I showed her."

     On the other side of the park. 'Damn that Zenshi...' Ling thought. 'He gets better everyday and he doesn't have to do anything!' He sat down in the grass. "Why can't I get stronger?! DAMN IT!" He yelled.

     "Ling..." A mysterious voice said. "Wha? Who's that?" He said jumping to his feet in a fighting pose. "I heard your cries for power...I can help but let me warn you that if you accept this power you will forever live in hell..." The voice said. "What are you talking about how can you give me power?" Ling asked intrigued. Three dark figures landed next to him. A tall one wearing a black shirt and black pants, a shorter one wearing a blue shirt, black pants and had a belt with card packs strewn along it, and an even shorter one wearing black clothing with a red and black cape. "There are special...rituals that can give you power." The shortest one spoke. "But the question is are you willing to give up your normal life to serve me for eternity?" He asked. Ling's confidence wavered. "I don't know..." He said unsure. "Don't worry it won't hurt at all..." He said bearing his fangs.
