Hanabishi
Recca....
Fuuko's
neighbor and childhood friend. If one is to follow the trend of "childhood
friends,"most of them end up together like say, Yusuke and Keiko or Hinagiku and Takuro. Not so here. We all know what Fuuko thinks of Recca-kun and
vice-versa ^_^. It was actually a case of Fuuko meeting Recca's challenge
when they were kids, that if she beat him, he'd be on his knees and be
her loyal ninja. Of course that never happened. Fuuko was never able to
beat Recca at his own game. They would've been best friends if they had
not been arguing all the time. Though their current relationship is more
amicable than it used to be.

Points....
Recca is adorably
cute. He's not classic bishounen, but he's absolutely kawaiiiiii! He's
known Fuuko for years so they can pretty much read each others minds, more
or less. He's also familiar with her family as she is familiar with his.
If they ended up together, Fuuko wouldn't have to move far away. Recca
as a boyfriend...ideal I'd say. He's sweet, faithful and he'll defend his
beloved until the ends of the earth. He's the knight-in-shining armor type.
Chance
For Romance....
Nil.
Little, if ever. It's pretty obvious to you and me who Recca is in love
with ^_^. The pretty girl he calls his hime whom he serves head to foot.
Unless you can get Yanagi out of the way. And even if you do get her out
of circulation, it's going to be a little difficult to push Recca in Fuuko's
direction. Recca, apparently likes his girls sweet and gentle. He seems
to like damsels-in-distress types, which Fuuko is obviously not. And, for
all the time he's known her, if he *really* liked her, he would've sai
soemthing by now. Also, if Fuuko and he got together, they might end up
perpetually at each other's throats. Fuuko, as a wife, or even as a girlfriend
may be the domineering type (very characteristic of Leos. I should know,
I am one!). And Recca isn't the type to be dominioned over. Recca, is after
all, Leo too. Zodiacally, they're not compatible. Neither are they compatible
in blood type. And, well, physically, they don't really match, do they?
Raiha
vs Recca
What gives Raiha
an edge over Recca-kun? Consider....
Well, for one
thing(the most important one too) he isn't in love with someone else.
I can't imagine
him fighting Fuuko in any age range (and don't give me that fuujin-raijin
thing. For all we know it's just one of his excuses. Also, that's in the
anime. He never said anything like it in the manga, as far as I know).
He doesn't have
to be beaten by Fuuko in a battle for him to serve her faithfully ^_^.
Next in line...
Tokiya
Mikagami...
The
handsomest, sexiest, Hokage ninja to ever walk the planet (Of course I
sound biased, I am after all, Tokiya no Hime!). You can beg to disagree
but I won't listen, ha ha ha. The sempai of the three Hokages.
Initally reluctant, but became a full-fledged Hokage ninja anyway since
he thinks Recca isn't doing a good job of protecting Yanagi. Doesn't like
Recca. Does not like Domon any better, and apparently gets along only with
the female members of Hokage, namely Kagero, Yanagi and Fuuko. Has a better
relationship with Koganei than with the other guys...probably because the
latter earned his respect in their first encounter.. He treats Fuuko with
respect, as he knows she's good at what she does.( He's such a gentleman!)
Fuuko looks at him the same way. With respect, that is.

Points
What isn't to
love about Tokiya-kun ^_~? He's the ultimate dreamboat! Tall, handsome,
sexy, intelligent, talented and a perfect gentleman! Note also he's the
best dressed Hokage ninja ^_^. Most importantly, he's available! Not tied
to anything other than his sister's painful memory. He's also independent,
and emotionally strong. A kind of wall to lean on. In short, he's as close
to perfection as anyone can get. I think the most appropriate song for
Tokiya would have to be, "You're just too good to be true, can't take my
eyes off you. You feel like heaven to touch. I want to hold you so much..."
Chance
for Romance....
This
is one of the more popular web pairings I've encountered. AND Tokiya wins
my Fuuko-pairing poll ^_^! And why not? Choosing between Recca, Tokiya
and Domon, the pick is pretty obvious ne? Really now, you have to be dumb,
deaf and blind not to choose Tokiya-kun! Although he is the perfect choice....there's
one problem. He's also attracted to someone
else. Uhm, hard for us to admit it, but he's
obviously drawn to Yanagi. This is more obvious in the manga than in the
anime. But it's still obvious, ne? Given he isn't attracted to Yanagi,
it's also hard to pair him up with Fuuko-san. Why? Their personalities
are both strong. They just might repel each other (as in, like magnets).
He's not the type to go down on bended knee. Wai! I could be prejudging
Tokiya-kun. Tokiya the boyfriend is one sight I've yet to behold. He's
Scorpio, and believe you me, Scorpio and Leo do not match (Nein!). He's
also blood type A whilst she is B. If they beget a child, the kid is going
to have an ABO incompatibility! (Yeah I know that sounds too technical,
but hey, we're considering all points here ^_^).
Raiha
vs Tokiya
Even I would have
to admit that Tokiya is a little (JUST A LITTLE!) more than what Raiha
is, measuring from looks, intelligence, sex appeal, and fashion sense.
Given this, Tokiya is quite obviously more gifted than Raiha-kun. He seems
to be on a better edge. But wait...what is Raiha that Tokiya isn't?
He isn't in love
with Yanagi (and I don't think Fuuko-san would be too happy as a *substitute*
for Yanagi).
He doesn't have
a bone to pick over with anyone.
He isn't skeptical
or bitter with life (well, apparently).
He's not prettier
than Fuuko. (Really now, wouldn't a girl be insecured if her boyfriend
looks more girlish than she does?)
He's just a little
(like maybe a degree or two Centigrades) warmer than Tokiya.
Incidentally, I
wrote a Tokiya-Fuuko fic. NOT BECAUSE I HAVE
CHANGED MY MIND OR TURNED ON MY DEAR RAI-CHAN. I just had the kicks one
day so there. Click here to read it ^_^.
Domon
Ishijima...
Fuuko's
biggest fan, obviously. Unofficial flagbearer of the Fuuko Fan Club, even
if Fujimaru insists. Before they had been enemies too (I found out about
this in manga no. 7) until Fuuko sent Domon to the hospital for like, a
month. But he eventually falls for her afterwards. He's been in love with
her for two years. A good friend and confidante. Fuuko's best friend, seemingly.
Domon used to have hair. He cut it only because she said he looked batter
with less. He's the "I would do anything for you." type for Fuuko-san.
Plus
points
He loves her unconditionally.
Yup, he loves her with all his heart and soul. He's willing to give up
everything for Fuuko. Not that she doesn't appreciate it. Most of the time
she does. He's loyal to her up to a fault. He would do anything and everything
for her. She's his heart, his soul, his inspiration. There isn't a thing
he wouldn't do for the love of Fuuko-san. Chivalrous and brave, strong
and gentle at the same time. He's got a heart as big as his fist and a
sense of humor to match.
Chance
For Romance...
In
manga no. 7, Domon admits its a one-sided affair. Though if you look at
the anime, she seems to return his feelings to a certain point. She seems
to be in a state of perpetual denial ^_^ though. This isn't quite the case
in manga. Fuuko keeps pushing Domon in the opposite direction when it comes
to romance. She keeps cutting off his advances. While she treats him as
a very good friend, she apparently draws the line there. She goes to certain
lengths to help him out and she cares for him an awful lot too. Though
if that close friendship will go beyond the bounds and fall in the category
of love, we've yet to discover.
Raiha
vs Domon
Rats, I'm going
to sound really mean
here, so if you love Domon, don't go on reading
and click here instead..
I don't hate Domon-san, but I'm not too fond of him either.You just might
start sending me *flames* in the mailbox. But then, come to think of it,
go ahead if you want to burn me to hell. I really wouldn't mind joining
my Master Kurei *_* ha, ha , ha, ha (*laughs dementedly like Kurei*)
I don't even want
to go to this, but physically speaking....Raiha is obviously the better
looking one. No contest. hands down. (stating the obvious)
He doesn't go
around harassing Fuuko asking for kisses or hugs or dates.
He's funny without
looking like an idiot.
He doesn't go
about touching other girls or stripping them of their clothing (just ask
Kirin *_*, manga no. 20).
He doens't brag
that he's better-looking or better-endowed than other people. (manga no.
9)
He doesn't drool
over other females' physical assets in front of Fuuko-san.
He doesn't have
to prove himself to anybody.
He's not akin
to short outbursts of temper.
He isn't freakin
paranoid.
He's not insecure.
He's more presentable
to mom. (Raiha would look normal if you put in him in a t-shirt and jeans...I
mean, try bringing home a guy with an outdated mohawk hairdo and a nose
ring and see if your mother doesn't freak out)
BTW, Domon is Taurus
and is blood type O. Neither of which are compatible with Fuuko's zodiac
sign and blood type. (I've researched on these Zodiac signs, and believe
me, they aren't comp. The signs compatible with Leo are Sagittarius, Libra
and Aries. Ergo, of all Hokages, she is most compatible with KOGANEI????
*_*).
and then we have...
Fujimaru
Yeeeeuuuch,
did I really have to put this guy here? Alas, he is a necessary evil, as
he becomes a Fuuko paramour after she beat him to a pulp during the opening
round of the Urabutosatsoujin. (Hmmmm, do I see a pattern here? Guys whom
Fuuko beat up fall for her?). He's the most despicable and dishonourable
member of the Kuu Team that it surprises me Kukkai still puts up with him.
Initially thought of Fuuko as an ugly girl, apparently changing his mind
afterwards. Fuuko wouldn't like him in her dreams! Yuuuck.

Points
.......you mean
there are some?
Chance For Romance....
Get serious. This
guy? Even Anzai Noboyuki couldn't make *this* happen. Mother of God! Heaven
Forbid! He couldn't make her succumb to his *charms* in his wildest fantasies.
Apparently sees Fuuko-san as some sex object (chest measurements anyone?).
Fuuko would rather die inch by inch.
Raiha
vs Fujimaru
Fujimaru was lucky
Raiha didn't slice him up like he did Soukakousai for doing what he did
to Fuuko-sama. Now how is Raiha-kun better that this sick moron?
He's obviously
better-looking. Hair, clothes, physique and fashion sense.
He's *not* a pervert.
He'd never call
Fuuko ugly.
He'd never hurt
her physically under any circumstance.
He respects Fuuko
(despite that incident in manga no. 20, I'm pretty sure Raiha did it as
a desperation move)
He wouldn't embarasss
Fuuko in front of a thousand spectators.
HE'S THE BETTER
MAN, PERIOD.
finally there's....
Saicho
The
second in command to Kukkai in team Kuu. Beautiful, powerful and all-around
adorable ^_^! Talented in terms of making origami and playing Playstation.
Intelligent, polite, sweet and sensitive. Kaoru Koganei's best friend,
and an ally of Team Hokage. Had a run-in with Fuuko-sama on the day of
the registration of the Urabutosatsoujin and helped her up when he knocked
her over. He also approaches her and covers her with his coat when she
gets nearly stripped naked by Fujimaru. He also wraps up her wounds with
his paper bandages.(My apologies for not having edited pics of Fuuko-Saicho
^^;;; as my graphics program expired before I could make any!)
Plus
Points
Like Tokiya-kun,
he's as close to perfection as one can get! He's handsome, sweet, polite,
friendly, talented, intelligent, kind...everything you would want to bring
home to your mother, and more! ^_^. He's the kind of guy who'd be a great
beau to tow around. And he can also protect his beloved with his unique
powers, using the Shiki Gami. Or his incredible fighting skills. Loyal
and faithful, just the kind of guy you want by your side, these days and
always!
Raiha
vs Saicho
Also like that
with Tokiya-kun, Raiha is going to have a difficult time competing with
this boy wonder. Saicho is everything a girl can possibly want. Now how
is Raiha going to top that? He can because...
He's not engaged
to /in love with someone else (as Saicho is with Misora, Kukkai's daughter)
He's taller and
older. (I just can't see Fuuko-san being the cradle snatching-type)
He's not in a
coma (Saicho falls victim to Joker just before the final round of the Urabutousatsoujin).
He's healthier
(Saicho can only fight for 10 minutes).

Ofcourse you can always
beg to disagree with me. If you have any arguments pro or against anyone
in this article, then don't be shy and mail
all of them to me ^_^. As I've said, you can flame me if you want,
just say it straight to my face. I don't appreciate being backstabbed.
