Chapter Four:
Yuya�s
Solution
Benitora sighed for what had to be the umpteenth time that day.
They hadn�t seen or heard anything as to where Yuya had gone to,
and it was making the tiger irritable.
Then again, Kyo, Akira, and Bontenmaru were acting strangely as
well, something about the area putting them in a foul mood. Of
course, Kyo was always in a foul mood, but it was different
somehow. He didn�t even bother taunting his enemies before he
killed them; just a few flicks of the wrist and they�d be moving on
again, leaving a pile of corpses in their wake. It seemed that
not even Okuni knew what was going on, and she usually knew
everything.
Benitora gave himself a mental shake as he overheard Sasuke
talking about a boys� home up ahead. At the mention of the
probability that Yuya might have gone there, Kyo got up and began
walking, Akira and Bontenmaru following suit.
Okuni and Benitora walked together, the tiger finally feeling good
about himself for the first time since Yuya had left them yesterday.
Waking to find herself refreshed and well-rested, Yuya stretched
and smiled, glad to have finally gotten the sleep she deserved.
Getting up and opening the door, Yuya was surprised to find a new
kimono neatly folded. Picking it up, she set it on the dresser
and washed her face in the basin after pouring water from the
pitcher. Removing the sleeping kimono and changing into the new
one, she brushed her hair and tied it in its usual ponytail at the
nape of her neck. Smiling at her reflection, Yuya opened the
door just as Toge was about to knock.
�Yes?�
�Sensei sent me to get you for breakfast, and also to go to the
courtyard once you�ve finished. Says there�s someone that
wants to talk to you.�
Confused, Yuya just shrugged it off. She was having too much
of a good day to let anything ruin it. She allowed Toge to pull
out a chair for her at the table in the kitchen, looking hungrily at
the plate of eggs he set in front of her. He smiled before
going back to the stove to cook everyone�s breakfast.
Finding herself extremely hungry, Yuya ate a few more platefuls
before deciding that she�d had enough, though she knew she would be
having an early lunch. Toge smiled at her again before she
left, and two memories struck her at once.
�Is Shinda-san still here?�
He nodded, �Hai. He was about to leave this morning, but I
got him to stay after meeting his daily challenge. Why?�
�Oh I just wanted to know. Also,� she said, wondering if
she would get an answer to her next question, �I wanted to ask
about yesterday. You started to say something about why people
wanted to adopted Shinda-san and then he stopped you. What were
you going to say?�
�I�m really not at liberty to say, Yuya-san. He�d kill
me if I told you. He always knows when someone�s talking
about him. Please don�t ask me to tell you.�
Yuya nodded, still determined to get the answers she wanted, �All
right, that�s fine. I�m sure I�ll see him later. In
the meantime, I�ll see to my visitor.�
Smiling at her as she left, Toge wondered why she was interested
in Shinda all of a sudden; but he soon brushed it off. Everyone
was interested in Shinda. He was enigmatic, blunt, and always
told the truth. His view on it was that people hated him
enough, so why lie on top of all that? Nodding, Toge went back
to his kitchen duties.
Walking into the courtyard with minimal help from some boys or a
teacher in the hallway, Yuya wondered who would have known she was
here. Telling herself that it really shouldn�t matter, she
kept on her guard anyway, for she never knew if someone from the Mibu
Clan would come here to kidnap her and try to bargain with Kyo for
his body.
Trying not to let it bother her, Yuya took time to absorb the
sight of the courtyard. It was mostly open space with
cobblestones laid out except for a circle around the well, which was
located in a corner of the yard. There were stone benches
positioned around the yard while everything else was open space.
Looking around, there were three groups of two boys sparring with one
another, their blows light and inaccurate for the sake of keeping one
another safe. She also saw that their swords were sakabatou,
meaning the sharper side of it was the opposite edge of the blade.
Heading to a bench that was in the shade, Yuya sat down and
watched the boys. No matter how hard she tried, though, she
couldn�t help but think of Kyo and Shinda. Their
similarities, their very few differences, and she also thought of
just how much better off the group was without her. The more
she thought about it, the more it made sense. Why stay with
them if all she ever did was complain about them and weigh them down
with unnecessary burdens? Even Okuni, who was only good for
information that she gave half the time, could hold her own against
an opponent. All Yuya had was her three barreled gun, and an
enemy was usually attacking her before she could even think of
pulling the trigger.
Kyo was right in wondering what good she was, and she finally had
an answer for him and his infamous question: she couldn�t do
anything and she wasn�t any good to anyone.
A pair of approaching sandaled feet pulled her from her
self-analysis and as she looked up from the sandals, black men�s
kimono, five shaku long Muramasa, and all the way up to the crimson
eyes, Yuya knew her end had come.
�I... I ... Kyo...� She stammered, and his silence told
her she was in for it.
�What do you think you�re doing here?� He asked, red eyes
narrowed in her direction as usual, �You won�t get revenge on
your brother�s killer sitting here like a corpse.�
She would have thrown an insult at him then, and she should have,
but she was tired of arguing, �I just want some time to myself.�
�We don�t have time to sit around an-...�
�I�m not saying you have to stay with me!� Yuya
exclaimed, noticing that the rest of the group had arrived.
Good, she needed witnesses.
Benitora�s face changed from happiness at seeing her in one
piece to look of concern, �But Yuya-han...�
�No! I�m sick of having my wallet stolen, sick of
camping outside, and sick of when we do find someplace to
stay, it�s in a brothel! I want time alone, and
you of all people, Kyo, should be able to understand that.
Not to mention you should have no problem leaving me here!�
�That won�t be possible,� came a smooth, calculating voice,
�you will leave, and that�s it.�
Turning in every direction to see who had spoken, Yuya was
surprised to see a shadowed figure leaning against a wall to her
right, �Excuse me?�
The shadow moved forward to show bare feet, black hakama, tanned
skin on a bare chest, and bright orange eyes. He had his sword
in his left hand as usual, and his eyes were gazing around from Kyo,
Yuya, the group, and back again.
�I said that you cannot be left here. I won�t allow it.
I told you last night that you must leave here as soon as you are
able, which seems to be today. You must have gotten plenty of
rest last night to have so much energy today, considering you slept
in my bed.� Shinda said, and Benitora looked ready to have
his eyes pop out of his head.
�What!�
Yuya growled, for it seemed Shinda had Kyo�s ability to make
things sound worse than they were, �Tamanori-san apparently gave me
Shinda-san�s room to sleep in, even though Shinda usually

sleeps down the hall. Nothing happened!�
�Oh? What about when I walked in to find you naked?�
Benitora was going to have a heart attack, Yuya was sure of it.
Of course, Yuya herself was about to explode as well. That is,
until she saw a smirk cross his face. At least, she thought
that�s what she saw. Just what was he up to?
�I was changing clothes,� Yuya said, trying to calm herself,
�and you happened to walk in.�
He shook his head, �Everything happens for a reason. Nice
scar on your stomach, by the way. Looks painful.�
�Just leave me alone!� Yuya exclaimed, her calm dissipating,
�Who do you think you are, anyway?�
He did smirk then, and he looked like Kyo�s younger brother,
�Me? I am Shinda no Kage.�
