"Itaiiii," the blonde rubbed her head a bit as she sat up, wincing.

"Are you all right?" Shunrai glanced down at the clutz, standing to help her up, along with Rosa.  Blowing a stray platinum blond strand away from her face, she looked at the newcomer with a slight interested look in her mahogany eyes.

"Yeah, I'm fine," the blonde replied, nodding.  "Thanks for your help," her cerulean eyes sparkled.  "I haven't seen you two around before.  Did you guys just start attending here?"

Rosa nodded, her midnight hair slightly waving with the breeze.  She tilted her head, starting to say with a slightly soft voice, hinted with a bit of an accent, "Yeah, I'm Rosa Valeria.  I just moved here during the end of summer...from-"

"-Spain, my homeland~" the blonde finished for her, causing Rosa's golden eyes to widen in slight surprise.  "And you, my dear~?" she turned to Shunrai.

"Higashitouin Shunrai," was the blunt reply, her face slightly bored.  "It is nice to meet you, eh..."

"Luka.  Luka Hernández Carriedo," she replied with a smile as bright as the sun outside.  "And you must be Russian, Shunrai-san?"

"...Yeah, how'd you know?"

"Well," Luka began, taking a seat on the bleacher bench in front of them, facing them, "It's kind of this thing with my brain, and eh, I remember everything, and I can recognize accents and appearances and stuff..." she ranted on and on, until suddenly, the crowd started cheering wildly.  Her focus was suddenly captured by the batter, who had just been the pitcher a while ago.

"Yeah, Yamamoto-kun~!" all the girls were screaming encouragement from the sidelines, but the batter didn't seem to notice.

Luka suddenly had a different look on her face when she turned back to Rosa and Shunrai.  "Oh yeah, have you guys seen a little ravenette about yea high-" she put her hand right below her shoulder, indicating height "-and wearing, let's see...probably a school uniform by now?  With slightly violet eyes?"

The two girls looked at each other and shrugged.  "Not that we know of," Shunrai crossed her arms.  "Sorry."

Said manager made a face.  "Great.  Now how am I going to find her without finding Hibari?" Luka mumbled, an agitated look appearing on her face as she stood up.  "And I stole her phone...eeehhh..." she changed her mind and sat back down.  "Oh well, Hana-chi'll be fine on her own~" she added on a way-too-happy note as she turned to watch the game.

The raven haired girl tilted her head, glancing at the back of Luka's head.  "That was...interesting?" she turned to Shunrai, who had endorsed herself with the job of balancing a leaf on her knee.

"Eh, whatever," she shrugged, her chocolate eyes watching the baseball fly in a perfect arch against the blue sky out of the field.

Of course, Namimori held onto its record of a perfect run of victories as Yamamoto lead everyone in triumph~  And of course, he also caught all the attentions of all the girls in the school.

Luka, with her amazing athletic abilities, jumped down from the high bleachers and looked up at the two befuddled girls.  "Are you guys coming?" 

"I guess," Shunrai and Rosa made their way through the crowds down to the ground floor with Luka.

"Soo, how long have you two been here?" the peppy blonde chirped to the two new students.

"Almost two weeks," Rosa answered, cracking a little smile.  "And...Luka, how long have you been here?"

"...you mean attending this school?" Luka tilted her head, thinking about it.  "Well...every year my Hana-chi comes to visit her sadistic brother and all that good stuff~  So I can see my cute Tsu-tsu~" she started fangirling inside.

"O...kay..." Shunrai nodded as they continued walking away from the baseball field.  "Well, I have to head home soon.  I forgot my homework, so I have to ask Kyoko or Hana to get the homework."

Rosa nodded.  She was one year older than both Luka and Shunrai, who were in the same grade as Tsuna, Gokudera, and Yamamoto.  "I already have all my books, so I'll see you guys around," she smiled faintly, waving as she walked off the school grounds.

"Bye, Rosa-chan~" Luka waved excitedly as she pattered after Shunrai.  "So, Shunrai-chan, I heard that you're pretty good at martial arts?"

Shunrai paused, slightly raising her eyebrow.  "How'd you know?"  This was getting slightly creepy.  How does Luka know so much...?

"Ah, a little birdie told me~" Luka wagged a finger.  "It's for me to know and you to find out~  Well, if he says it's okay."

"Wait, who?"

"Ciaossu, Luka, Shunrai."  A small figure leaped down from the wall nearby.

"You again?" Shunrai stared in disbelief.
