The earring he wears was originally supposed to be a feather which is an inspiration from a necklace my brother got me. It is also a reference to dreamcatchers which has feathers which plays a role in dreams. I also own a handmade dreamcatcher I have gotten from an Indian Reservation many years prior. In this case, it helps with Kurai's state of mind. But I thought it might be a bit racist because I found out that Native Americans do not actually like Dream catchers to be used as other than what it is used for so I changed it into twin moon earrings.
Cai Kang is in Shenmi where she decides to look around the shopping district after leaving Ren and Saeko to finish getting groceries. Due to the more modern look, it is a balance between futuristic and traditional marketplaces with a few exceptions. "Runaway horse!" Horse? Cai Kang turns towards the sound to truly witness a runaway horse speeding through the crowd, as they all manage to avoid the advancing horse. Cai Kang notices that the rider is unconscious. Thinking fast, she jumped onto the horse and forcibly pulled the reins to stop it. After the horse stopped, Cai Kang got off the horse and glared at its rider. She forcibly dragged the irresponsible man off the horse and slapped the guy on the face several times with everyone as her witness. He is not injured so either he is a heavy sleeper or intoxicated. She then noticed his clothing. Unlike the Kimono that he saw the Shiratori family wear on their first meeting, his has gold lining. But the fact that he is riding a horse in
A young man with a travel backpack and mountain gear is looking around the town of Nerima until he notices something in the distance.“At last, I finally found you.” He muttered then ran to his destination.*Cai Kang was on the rooftop of the house relaxing after a bit of morning training. He and Kazuha would be going out where he would be introduced to more of her friends. He had enjoyed his time with a few of her friends in Shenmi and now he will meet a few more of them who live in Qiyuan. Suddenly, he sensed bloodlust and looked up to see a boy out of nowhere trying to strike him with a hiking staff. “What the?'' Cai Kang then got out of the way and the stranger ended up striking the rooftop, severely damaging it. “The hell? You better pay for that!” Cai Kang yelled but stopped when he recognized the person. He has a shaggy appearance but there is no doubt who he is. The young man continues to attack him. Despite being naturally really strong even without using his chi, his punch
At the cafe, all of them are chatting. Cai Kang learns something new from them. All of Kazuha's old middle school classmates have been close knit and never drifted apart. They meet up a couple times to hang out. In the past, they had a teacher from Shenmi who taught them both Qiyuan and Shenmi curriculum and made them close together after trial and tribulation. He doesn't know the details behind that but they all kept an eye out for talented kids like them and help one another whenever they need it.He was enjoying himself until he felt an upcoming presence. He looked to his left to see Ryosuke again. It seems he decided to look for him again. He doesn't look as composed as he did last time.Cai Kang is startled to see him again. “What are you doing here?” He asked.“I finished my business.” The young man said coldly. “Someone told me that you do know where the old man is.”Kazuha had an idea what he meant. Dammit, We unknowingly created conflict. She thought.“Take it easy, Ryosuke. I
Cai Kang and Kurai are at the arcade, playing games side by side against each other. It has been a few days since Sanada Fukuna's arrival.“Dude, the thing with Ponytail girl is weird. She is now trying to get your attention. Making your bento, preparing food for you. People at school are starting to think you might make a good couple. But people also think you’re a player now.” Kurai said while staring at the screen, playing the game. “What do you think?” Cai Kang asked.“Well, you two have good chemistry and have known each other longer than you'd like to admit. Not to mention, she actually admits that she likes you.” Kurai said, concentrating on the game.“As friends. Wolf boy. As friends.” Cai Kang corrected.“What about Clover and Cherry?” Kurai said.“Clover and Cherry?” He paused for a moment then remembered Chiemi and Maiko having cherry and clover accessories on their phones. “Ah, the Higurashi twins, what about them?” Cai Kang said.“You’ve been a bit distracted since meetin
“Well, we won and I got a new jacket!” Noriko said happily while wearing said expensive looking jacket. “And more money!” Toya cheered with her. The twins, Cai Kang, Kurai, Ryosuke, Fukuna, Maiko and Kazuha are all at a restaurant for dinner where they are celebrating Noriko winning first place in an art competition she won. However, that wasn't the reason why the twins are happy. It also came with prize money. Unsurprisingly, everyone else isn't as happy. “You two are the biggest drama queens ever to react to even win the prize that isn't rightfully yours.” Kurai said boringly. "Hey, I won that contest fair and square with my own piece of art." “I’m more surprised that no one found out about you guys stealing the second and third place prizes too.” Maiko said. “Hey, it’s a competition. It is to be expected if we have to play dirty. Well I feel much better now that I won.” Noriko said. "Someone's coming." Kazuha perked up. Kurai sniffed the air. "And he smells pissed."
Kazuha is packed up and about to leave. “I’ll be leaving now.” She said and left the residence with the rest of her family watching her leave. “Damn she goes to these things a lot. I wish that I had that privilege.” Toya sighed. Kazuha is going to perform in a different city for the weekend and won't be home until the day after tomorrow. I guess I should look now. Cai Kang thought after seeing her leave out of hearing range. Cai Kang looked around and walked into Kazuha’s room. He beamed at how extraordinary it is. Unlike Noriko's room which is her own personal art studio, Toya's room which is full of sports posters, Kazuha's room is filled with interesting things. She keeps albums of her adventures and achievements, pictures on her wall, and in her second room, she has her own mini studio, keeps her musical items and works. Despite being in her room before, he actually wanted to venture a bit further. He never actually gets to see the items she keeps on her shelves. She keeps a
“This is-” Kurai said, stopping to look around, noticing that the place is familiar. “Akihabara,” Cai Kang said excitedly. “The place where anime enthusiasts come together.” Cai Kang read the travel guide books and saw Akihabara in one of the pages. It is both colorful and unique. “I never pegged you to be the type to be into anime.” Kurai said with a slight tone of surprise. “I never actually watch anime but I read about the place and I love it. It is my only window to this world’s Japan.” he said. Thanks to Kurai's nose, it didn't take long for them to find the building Kazuha is in. Both head to an unknown building which looks like an underground concert where they walk in to see a crowd of people cheering on to the band. Cai Kang looked up to see a few familiar faces and saw Kazuha on stage, playing the drums, wearing a mask. Even though she is wearing a mask, he could tell how much she is enjoying it. Kazuha then looked down noticing the guys, staring at them for more than
“Dammit!” Kurai jumped on the bed with frustration holding on to the pearl. “I can't figure it out! What the hell is this thing?” He was tempted to throw the pearl across the room.“The old hag knows a lot about magical artifacts. Maybe she can figure it out once I call Ryosuke.” Cai Kang said drying his hair with a towl.“All we know is that we can't touch this thing.” Kurai said.“Also, our curses are connected.” Cai Kang finished“What do you know?” Kurai asked.“My curse is to change genders depending on the environment.” Cai Kang then looks at himself in the mirror. "I literally just took a shower and the yang energy from the water has turned me into a guy."“You think I have a Yin-Yang curse too?” Kurai questioned.“It's not a stretch.” Cai Kang shrugged. "I mean after all, your curse activates only in the new moon. A moonless night has absolutely no Yang energy whatsoever. Even moonlight contains a bit of Yang."“Hm” Kurai walked up to a window and stared at the sky while puttin
