The next day I woke up by the alarm once more, I got to the bath, got my books ready and all, went for breakfast, but my parents anounced to me that I was grounded.
No school, No date, because I broke my promise and had a fight.
First of all I gave no such promise, second of all when did I have a fight, the only thing that happened was that crazy Miu that kicked me in the head, other than that there was nothing, wait, it's Miu's fault, whom else can get you in so much trouble. She's probably laughing at school with her lover boy, I hate them both.
I had no idea that today was the day that Shirahama Kid, became Kenichi and also joined the gardening club.
Before evening I escaped through the window and rushed for the date, not wearing my school uniform for once is probably much better, a black turtleneck and jeans were all that I needed as well as my almost empty wallet.
I waited near the little kitten, they were cute. Should I buy them some food, after all there's nothing more I could afford with what I have right now.
The moment I returned at the spot, Kisara was there waiting for me, she wore the same clothes, as if she had nothing else to wear, really strange for a girl.
When she saw me she attacked, I dodged, but before I knew it, the catfood was already in her hands.
-So what're your interests?
-Martial arts, at least they used to be, now that I'm forced to practice I have begun to hate them a little
-Why so, many would love to get stronger in such a short time, when I first met you, you were a total Wuss
-When I met you, you were just as pretty as you are now, but more violent, I think I like the you from before more
-Do you have a death wish
-Careful you're holding a kitten
-Oh, sorry little kitten, let mommy hug you so that all the pain will go away, here's a kiss for you
-I really didn't expect my first date to be looking after kittens
-What's so bad about that?
-Nothing really, I had to escape from home in order to come here and I expect my "Master" to come pick me up anytime soon
"Why would you say that?"
Ogata came out of the shadows, looking at the terrified Kisara, whom seemed to know whom he was pretty well.
-Master! this is, I was just, it's not what it appears to be
-You can do whatever you like as long as it's not killing defenseless kittens or babies, it's natural that innocence has to be preserved and the strong must battle the strong, while the weak battle for survival
Only now did I notice that one of the kittens was being shoved away by his brothers and sisters, it was understandable, because it was weak, I don't know how long these kittens had to stay without food, but they were rather pitiful.
-Who are you?
-Don't be so alarmed I'm his master, a pity you lack potential, unless some miracle happens, at which point I would welcome you as my disciples, the Darkness loves Talents and All talents sooner or later descend into darkness
-Is he that good?
-Not really, but he could become, his potential is quite good, but I'd like to asked you something, did you kick him in the head yesterday?
-No, I aimed for the stomach, but he evaded
-Then here's a mission for you, make sure that non of your minions, tries to touch him until the end of this week, if anyone does, he's dead
-I'll make sure sir, Master, sir
-Yashin, lets go, you have training to do
I didn't know at the time, but there was jealousy in Kisara's eyes, unlike me she could tell that the guy was in a league of his own, it was like an animal instinct that caused her to feel fear towards him.
If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.
Years ago a Master had appeared before her, at the time she was young and stupid, she did her best, but in the end failed to awaken the mind's eye.
By how easily he avoided her attack, it was evident that he had awakened it, to be recognized as an official disciples by such a powerful master was something to be envious of.
Also his appearance reminded her of something, a rumor about someone, a certain "Kensei".
Back in Yashin's room, after eating dinner and getting scolded, he had the needles plunged into his body, this time he was fully awake, the pain was excruciating, but it was something new, after the initial pain, it turned into something weirdly enjoyable.
-You really are full of potential, you have a special sort of body that's perfect for berzerking tactics, but most importantly you are like me, a person with both Sei and Dou, do you know the real reason why I told you to join the Rhythmic Gymnastics club, because I knew that you would enjoy it, the transformations your body is going through will end in a few more days, after which I will be teaching you Seikuken, the ultimate defensive technic, next I'll teach you how to destroy the ultimate defense, if you are of course able to learn it that is
-Kisara will be mine
-Sure, whatever, as long as you're stong enough half the world can be yours, don't even bother speaking about a stray kitten
-Kisara will be mine
"Did he go crazy? Maybe the pain's a bit too much ever for his type of body, I hope I didn't break him"
The rest was but a bad dream, in my dream or more like a nightmare, I lost Kisara to another guy, I didn't even see his form, but I lose again and again, I feel as if I'm going to explode and anger fills me, I feel strange, I feel sad, I feel sleepy...
"At last I put him to sleep, I don't know what sort of hallusinations he had, but this is bad, if he begins to hallusinate during a mission, I'll have to put him down, such a pity, if not for that hit to his head, he would have been perfect, I think it might have some effect on his character or not, but that's insignificant in front of the hallusination problem, lets see I could ask that person for help, but is it worth it, probably not, lets see how it plays out first"
Another day passes and I'm still under house arrest, I don't remember what happened yesterday, at least not the training, but I feel rather irritated about it for some reason, as if I could just go and kill someone, but that's crazy, normal people don't kill other people without a reason.
I should Ask Ogata how to find Kisara, he seemed to know her for some reason.
-Mom is "Master" Ogata here?
-Nope dear, now go to your room and do your homework, a good classmate of yours has come with all the homework you have to do.
-Yes mom
Today it was boring, I so much hope I could have just went to school, sounds funny coming from me, but staying at home is rather boring, especialy without friends and with tons of homework.
-Mom can we get kittens?
-No, absolutely not, they litter everywhere and destroy all the furniture
I was a bit disheartened, remembering the beauty feeding the kittens, It was the best date of my life, although it didn't last long.
Now what should I do next, I'm inclined to just go find her, but I don't even know where she lives or her phone number.
Three days passed and it was time for the next lesson, my body should be fine now, but for some reason I feel strange at times, at times I feel so angry that I simply wish to murder someone, but calm down as I understand how irrational that is.
Tomorrow I return to school, but today it's time to learn that Seikuken thing. I don't know why but Ogata seems strange today, I feel as if I don't know the man in front of me anymore. I get the chills just by seeing him.
-I see you have at last mastered the Mind's Eye, otherwise you wouldn't feel so afraid of me, you have real talent, a pity that you're faulty, real pity, if only you hadn't gotten your head hit, you would have been perfect, well it doesn't matter now, listen up, The Seikuken requires the use of Sei in order to defend from attacks at your hands,feet or weapon's reach, depending on your style of combat, personaly I believe that weapons don't suit this technique well, but some people tend to disagree
-Just point a gun and all martial arts fall
-How naive, once you learn Seikuken, you will understand the terror of true darkness, the true limits of the human body and a tiny bit of the Depth of the Abyss known as Martial Arts
-I really think you're crazy, but whatever
-So lets begin, Use your Mind's Eye and then extend your hands in all directions until you get a fill of your limit, when you think you have, I will begin to attack you
-I think I'm ready
Without however any word in response my personal hell begun, I couldn't see anything, but I felt the pain, it was as if pebles were hitting my body, suddenly I closed my eye, reflexively as a stone was about to hit it.
"You have failed, get some rest and we'll begin again, that's enough now close your eyes and secure your reach, remember that it's better to deflect or catch, rather than attacking the projectiles, just try to slap them out of the air"
Try after try I finaly succeeded, it took us hours of practice, but succeeding feels so great.
-You've just touched the surface of the technique and let me tell you, even the Mind's Eye you have master is but a basic technique and basic techniques can be advanced further, they can become stronger, what you have to do for the next week is go to school like normal and live your life, martial arts cannot be mastered in one day
-What about that Seidou Gusu or something
-It's Seidou Gōitsu and you can already use it, all you have to do is activate both Sei and Dou at the same time, but the effect can go from crippling injuries to driving you insane and even death isn't excluded, now I've taught you everything you have to know, martial art techniques and the basic staff, you probably already know them, your only difference was that you weren't fast or strong before. Right now you're at your peak performance, unless you stop the diet and exercise, you will remain at this peak condition, If you keep this for 2 years strait, maybe I'll visit you again
-Wait!
-What is it?
-Thank you Master for your teachings
This was probably the last time I would see him, since in two years many things can happen, many things can change. Tonight however I would have a good rest for once.
