"How much do you know of the goddess Shira?" Kumi asked, watching Sakura quietly from the bed.

"Not much," Sakura admitted, chewing.

Kumi nodded, as if that was to be expected. "Then listen, child, and listen well. A long time ago, when the world was still green, the goddess Shira walked among mortals and lived among us. Eventually, she fell in love with the mortal Taki. Other mortals grew envious of their love, and the goddess was slain."

Sakura frowned. "But . . . how can you slay a goddess?"

Kumi smiled. "You can't. Not really. In despair, Taki buried the goddess beneath an ancient maple tree, whose red leaves shed like blood over the grave. On the third day, the goddess Shira rose again to walk the earth with her beloved Taki."

"And they lived happily ever after?" mocked Sakura sullenly and shoved more noodles in her cheek.

The sound of shattering glass made Sakura scream, and she lifted her head, watching in shock as Miyu came flying through the window. The pink-haired cyborg flipped and landed in a squat in the middle of the room. As she reached back for her katana, her menacing eyes were fixed with hatred upon Akari, who scowled and leapt to her feet at once, ripping her own katanas from her back. Miyu leapt to her feet, Akari ran at her, and Sakura watched, mouth open, as the two women fell into terrible battle. And they were battling for her!

"So what did we do in there?" Sakura asked to change the subject and nodded at the nightclub. Her tone was playful, and she was glad when Miyu grinned around the e-cig in her teeth.

"I taught you why it's called the Pink Rocket," Miyu answered. "See, they give out free bullets to first-time visitors, and since it was your first time. . . ."

Sakura's nose scrunched up. "Why a bullet?"

Miyu laughed. "No, baby, not that kinda bullet," she said.
