Katsuki knew Casimir was right. But anyway not for a sack of gold would she have disturbed a ghost...although she knew some people would. I wonder if the teachers know about the ghosts and all the incidents here, Katsuki thought, this school isn't like the ones I know... Then she looked up at the two boys again and said, ''So...hum...I thought...maybe you could tell me something about yourselves. Imean I hardly know anyting apart from your names...and Casimir's adventure of course...'' She frowned as she began to fold the leaf again.

Nathaniel looked at his watch and jumped to his feet. He had completely lost track of time. Brushing the dust off his clothes he took his school bag. "I'm sorry but i have to leave you, gentleman/woman," he said and bowed hastily. "I've got a lesson to get too." Smiling at Katsuki he turned and left, dissapearing within the trees and the shadows.
Casimir had hardly time to say anything, but then he turned to Katsuki and replied her question. "I'm Casimir as you know and i have 3 elder brothers. My mother's dead and my father hates me along with my brothers. I hardly care about them though. I hate them too. I live now with another dude, my best mate, called Caspian and his tein, Liza. I've been friend with them for quite some time now. Umm...i like books and i know how to fence and do some archery, but i haven't practised those sports quite sometime because of my disbaility. I like writing and i like music. I'm in love with coldplay,muse, the white stripes,snow patrol and franz ferdinand," he said,summing up the things about him. Finding nothing else to say he looked at her. "That's about it. What about you then?"

''Well I...'' Katsuki hesitated for a moment. She had never told anyone about her past and wasn't sure she wanted to tell Casimir either...She suddenly realized that she had been silent for more than expected. She shook her head. ''As you know I was born in Japan, where I lived for...'', she stopped an instant to count, ''...eight years. My mother worked in a restaurant and my father teached karate in a dojo...I haven't got any brothers by the way. I really enjoyed living there. But then...When I was eight, my mother fell ill.'' At that moment Katsuki's face turned slightly pale, but she continued. ''Nothing could be done to save her...When she...well...passed out, my father decided to move here. Everything in Tokyo reminded him of my mother...I have been living here with him three years now. He still teaches karate, and he is happier now...'' Katsuki smiled. ''That's it. Well, I like art, singing, music, especially from a Japanese singer called Utada Hikaru, and I play the violin. Oh, I forgot...I descend from a great family of ninjas...but...'' she winked, ''...keep it a secret!''

As Casimir was blind, he could not see the guestures she was doing, but nevertheless, he payed the uttermost attention. Her story was indeed interesting, catching his attention as he too became somewhat curious. As she thus finished he smiled at her last comment, chuckling slightly. "Fancy that. I mean being descend froma great family of ninjas. That would pretty wicked. I mean as far as I'm awear of, my family is pretty normal. I'm descened from a jewish family i think but we don't practise the religion. I think I'm part Irish and part french and jewish. I don't really know," he said frowning considering it slightly. Before he lifted them up and turned to meet her eyes. "I'm sorry about your mother. I really am. I know what it feels like...loosing some you love so much..." he hesistated and paused before sighing and slumping back against the truck.

Katsuki looked at Casimir and wondered if he too had lost someone...By the way he had said the last words, Katsuki guessed he had. Changing subject, she asked ''Hum...Can you recognize things by touch?''

Casimir chuckeld, breaking into a soft laughter."Of course! I'm not that all disabled!" he said, musing the irony under his breath.

Katsuki shook her head. ''I meant to ask if you were especially good...Anyway, forget it...and guess what's this!'', Katsuki smiled and placed the golden leave with care on Casimir's lap, between his hands. By folding it she had turned the leaf into the shape of a beautiful rose.

He picked up the thing she had placed on his lap carefully and exmained it, carefully taking it between his finger and somewhat fiddling around with it. He ffrowned, his brow knitting together as he tried to solve this enigma. "It's a....some sort of flower...," he ventured his voice soft. "Is it a rose?" he said finally getting it and raising his head. "Made out of what? a leaf?"

''You're right.'' said Katsuki, smiling. ''It's a rose made out of a leaf. Do you like it? Keep it, I made it for you.'' Katsuki blushed a bit, then explained, ''Origami. The art of making figures out of paper without adding anything else. It was originated in Japan many years ago. I find it very entertaining. It's amazing, the variety of figures you can make out of a piece of paper...or a leaf.'' she winked.

He smiled, his cheeks turning quite a crimson red as he placed the rose carefully on his lap. "Thank you," he said softly. "I'll keep it and treasure it. Origami. I tried that once but failed dimsally. The dove i attempted look more like a crumpled piece of paper more then anything," he said and chuckled at the vague memoir, which lurked at the back of his mind.

Katsuki was surprised with Casimir's reaction, though she didn't show. Instead she smiled and said. ''Yes, origami is a bit difficult at the beginning, but...you know I've been doing figures since I was little. In fact...'' at this point she let out a giggle, ''the dove is among the easiest ones! It's the first Iearned to do...But don't worry, I'll show you how to do it another day...''

Casimir nodded, accpeting the proposal with somewhat glee. "OKay i would like that. If you want i can teach some archery once i get my eye sight back," he said, being polite and well mannered.

''Archery! Oooh I've always wanted to learn archery!'', Katsuki smiled widely. I wonder if he will eventually get his eye sight back...I hope so, Katsuki thought. ''That's very kind of you...Hum, since when have you been practicing archery?''

He shrugged. "For quite a long time really. My parents have me a bow and arrow from the moment i became obsessed with 'THe lord of the Rings' and since then I have come to love it. I'll teach you, once i get my eye sight back, why not," he said and smiled at her.

''Haha, I also liked The Lord of the Rings...!'' Katsuki said, laughing. ''But I never got a bow...I don't think bows can be found among ninja weapons...'' She remained silent for a moment, then asked, ''What else do you like?'' Katsuki wanted to know more about Casimir, she had been intrigued since the moment she first saw him. But of course she didn't mention this to him.
