Not even a day passed before my date with Kisara and three thugs came to school to seek trouble with Shirahama Kid. I just sat at my desk eating my herbs and potatoes, completely ignoring them.
The three saw two weak looking guys and ignored me, probably because of Kisara, but I don't really know. I think she cares about me or she cares for her subordinates' safety, either of the two is fine.
-Where's Kenichi?
-Ragnarok's Technique Trio!
(student A)
-Ichiken, I mean Kenichi is not here
(student B)
-If you're protecting your friend, normaly I would respect that, but we're on a real tight scedule here right now...
-Are you protecting him!
(Student A)
-In front of Ragnarok? You think I'm insane"
(student B)
-Wait you should Ask him, they go to the same Dojo!
(student A)
-Is that right?
The trio looked at me with some interest, until the short guy with the spiky black hair begun to bite his nail, saying rat bastard or something. From there it all went to hell, the big guy for some reason lifted the Locker at the back of the classroom and threw it down with force, while Shouting
"There you are!"
From inside fell a weird doll with a message
"Kenichi will triumph against Ragnarok"
Thank you E-5
The guy with blond hair and a ponytail begun to laugh
"Dammit that Bastard Kenichi Making me look Stupid!"
The big guy shouted as he stomped on the doll, all of the student in the classroom holding their breaths in terror. Me sitting at my desk trying to make ends meet, it makes no sense.
Violent Miu like Always wasn't in the gym for club activities, in order to go with Shirahama Kid to the Dojo sooner. Ever since this Ragnarok shit begun, they've been skipping clubs in order to train longer, or rather train Shirahama Kid longer, since Miu rarely trains, she mostly does the homecleaning at the dojo.
Today Master Hopachai decided to train Shirahama kid instead of me, I didn't mind, but Master Shigure was also nowhere to be found, should I ask someone else to spar with me, Master Kensei is a no go, since he's always preocupied, Master Sakaki is one of the potential candidates, the Mustach Guy Akisame, seems a bit weak and he's a really good Guy, one I just don't wanna fight against, The Elder is really interesting, I would love to spar with him, but I was told rumors from everyone that he's the strongest and my strength probably won't be enough to last even for a second.
I'm sure the people that have been sparring with me are still holding back, like a lot, otherwise I would have been dead by now. Of course these were my thoughts, both Hopachai and Shigure weren't holding back at all, they didn't even know the meaning of these two words, the reason why I was alive was because they didn't kill, as part of the Life saving fist, they deemed all deadly attacks a no go, although most of their attacks had the potential to kill you if you weren't careful. As for me, Sparring with Masters was a huge shortcut in my path as a martial artist.
-Sakaki Sensei, I kindly ask for a spar
-Kid, are you serious?
-Master Hopachai is bussy and Master Shigure isn't anywhere to be found, please advise me
-Well sure, I'll have a warm up, but don't regret this later
There was a weird atmosphere in the room before I took my knives and shurikens and put them on a table.
-Why don't you use those toys, maybe it will make the spar more interesting
-As master instructs
Master Sakaki had a grin on his face, as he was planning to beat me up real good, of course I didn't know that he still held a grudge from last time, we met, but he was pleasantly surprised to find out that his planned beating didn't go exactly as expected.
We both took our stances, My knives were like an extend of my body, I had gotter really used to them, but even without them I was still good to go.
My Seikuken was set as the wide one, and the moment he attacked, I evaded, like a leaf following the wind.
Master Sakaki was only using a small part of his strength and It was rather disappointing at first, once however he saw that his strength hadn't enough speed and power, little by little he used more and more. From 1% it went up to 30% real fast, then slowly to 50%, by the time it went more than 50% I was already sweating bullets, but we went on until Miu arrived and begun to shout at both of us for making a huge mess indoors.
When I went to Akisame for healing, as usual, he scolded me for not going to him for a spar, I kindly said that I can't seem to hate him and he laughed as he went on to twist my arms and legs in the most excrusiating way possible, I felt like I was in heaven.
-Are you a frog demon or something, although I heard about body flexibility, but what's up with your body?
-I daily do some exercise master Ogata left for me
-Can I see them?
-I don't have the book
-Just do it, I'll inspect from the side
I begun to do the exercise I was all too familiar with by now, until I went on for the jumping dancing moves.
-So you're studying Nou Ten Jigoku Keri?(Hell's Head Kick)
-What's that?
-Your excercise isn't bad per say, but it's not the most optimal it could be, let me modify it for you a little, tomorrow I will give you a new set, most optimal for your body only it might take too long to complete, is that a problem?
-Of course not Master Akisame! Thank you for the guidance!
As I walked away Akisame had a crooked smile on his face as he begun to write something down, with meticulous instructions.
"That kid's interesting, lets see, this will do, this...this...maybe add this as well...No all this is too soft...I need to be harder on him...show some more care...perfect just perfect"
He said as his eyes sparkled Ominously.
I at the moment had begun to walk home, I passed to feed the kittens, there was no letter there and I was wondering whether I should leave one, but on second though, there was no need, I had a feeling that I would meet her sometime in the short future.
Next day it was Sunday and I had no school, I was wondering aimlessly in the morning doing my usual marathon run, while passing through the park I saw master Hopachai, playing with the children, I think this carefree look suits him more, a pity that he's such a nice guy, which doesn't allow him to go all out against me, he's such a nice guy.
After the run I went to see Akisame, he gave me the revised training, telling me that at parts it's really dangerous, but it's at least twice as efficient.
I begun immediately doing the exercise, It felt amazingly painful, anything I had felt this far was but a needle's prick in front of this training exercise.
"You are doing this part wrong, if you do it as you did it will be more painful and less efficient that's how you do it right"
Akisame corrected me at parts, making me remember the right way, he was a really nice guy, Only the training was a tad too lengthy, I could at most do half of it during Club, Should I join the Gardening Club as well, they don't seem to care about about their members leaving early.
Tomorrow's one month since our first meeting with Kisara, I have to buy her a gift or something to celebrate, I've heard girls get crazy over such pointless things as the dates we first met, but I must show her that I care for her and there's no better thing.
During this time, we've had a couple of dates, mostly because she wanted me to do stuff like beating up some random people I will probably never remember in my life, even had a go with the Yakuza once.
I can tell that she doesn't love me, but she also doesn't hate me, which evens things up, all I need is to save her or something and love will bloom like a flower.
I'm sure some jewelry or something should be perfect, but I should probably ask Violent Miu or Master Shigure, They're girls, as for mom, She's become a little difficult to talk recently, especialy when it comes to Kisara. Something like that girl's a bad influence on you or something and she's not worth your time, you should study more and lots of empty talk.
Dad however is another story altogether he's totaly supporting me on this matter, especialy since my words reminded him of his own wedding anniversary that he had almost totaly forgotten until now. Not a very good husband, but he's a good father.
Violent Miu was totally at a loss when I asked her to help me buy a present for my girlfriend, she and Shirahama kid never the less offered to help.
The limit for this endeavor was set at 10.000yen, maybe my parents are spoiling me, but they are very supportive at times, which make me love them even more.
-So what does she like?
-Well mostly Cats, Sweets, Money, Being Pampered, When others do as she says, kicking people, her favourite color is red, she likes listening to X singer, the X movie, Games and movies featuring cats, what all girls like really
-I think you should buy her a cat
-She can't keep it at home as her parents won't allow her to keep it
-Then you should buy a cat for yourself and take care of it, while she can come and pet it as much as she likes
-Violent Miu, you're a genious!
-I'm not violent!
She said so while doing a flying kick, which I easily dodged.
-Shirahama Kid, Violent Miu, thank you for accompanying me today for shopping, although I didn't buy anything, you've really helped me out, if you need anything just give me a call, this is my home number
I left like the wind, leaving them dumpfounded, at the entrance to the shopping center, Miu felt lost after seeing this Temple of Fashion and Shopping, she really regretted having spoken too soon, but non of them had any money to go on a shopping spree. Unless they could threat this as some sort of date.
Kisara passed by the Kitten box this evening like always, but this time there were no kittens inside, she felt somewhat sad, but she was also really happy for it, suddenly she found an envelop in the box.
"If you want to see the kitten alive, come to X location at X time tomorrow"
She was really angry, kicking at the letter turning it into pieces, heading directly to the writer's home, Maybe it was a stupid thing to do.
When she arrive however she was told that I wasn't home, Thus she went to the dojo to ask, but the Large old man also told her I wasn't there. She felt defeated and went to bed crying and cursing me for playing such a dirty move.
I was completely unaware of that as I was at the Vet, having the kitten undergo all the needed vaccination. Since it was a stray kitten, I had to make sure it was healthy and safe for people to be around it, I also went to buy for it a small bed for cats, a feeding plate, drinking water baloon, a scratching post, litter box, cat sand, food and toys.
Next day at class two student were missing from class and Shirahama Kid seemed somewhat strange when he heard this, did he beat them up or something, like the bullied becoming the bully.
Shirahama Kid asked for a leave, to go to the bathroom, I really don't want to imagine him as the serial killer type, but who knows, I don't know him so well, maybe at some point he snapped.
Suddenly one Moment I see Shirahama kid holding a person that's about to fall from the roof of the building, Violent Miu was even more shocked than me and waltzed out of the classroom for the "Toilet".
Things seem really bad for him, he's about to fall, well suddenly he's safe, someone pulled him out of danger's way, probably Violent Miu. I Don't know what happened, but I don't really care, today is the big day, I have to go to the vet and get the kitten ready for Kisara.
They really did a good job, although I will have to come back in a week to have it do more vaccines, they told me the kitten was completely healthy, someone took real good care of it, it seems.
Shit it's started to rain, it's a good thing I'm wearing a jacket, I put the kitten inside, since cats dislike water or I've heard.
You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.
When I arrived at the randevu point, Kisara was waiting in the rain, her figure seemed kind of pitiful. Once she saw me she glared at me real angrily.
-You blackmailing bastard where's Buchi Neko(=Tabby Cat)? What have to done to it?
-He's right here and I've taken it to the Vet, I'm planning to keep it, but before we talk any more you need to go take a bath and change, you'll get sick standing in the rain like that. Here Wear my Jacket and Keep "Buchi Neko" safe from the rain
-I will kill you! You lying, despicable scoundrel!
After an outburst of cussing and swearing, she begun playing with the kitten as we were walking to what seemed to be my home?
Why on earth were we going to my place?
When we arrived at home, my mom was enraged and worried sick, she told us to take turns taking baths and change, she would give kisara some dress of hers to wear.
I went to put the kitten in its new bed while Kisara was taking a bath first, I was really inclined to just go in with her, but my mother would have killed me if I did.
My naked body was a sight to be behold, although well formed, it was full of scabs and bruises, formed from fighting with my masters, my mother was already used to this, since Master Ogata had left a terrible impression behind, but he did all that he promised and had already warned them about this.
When Kisara saw me however half naked, she turned red, then turned around and run while wearing only a towel. It was really cute. I took a bath and returned to my room wearing a fresh pair of underwear.
Kisara was sitting in my room, playing with the kitten, she seemed rather satisfied with the outcome. I went to the closet to get something to wear, after all I'm not some sort of exhibitionist.
"Do you mind if I sleep over Tiger?"
Her question caught me completely off guard, what followed I will leave to your imagination and the hentai writers out there, in a simple words "Not for children", just kidding.
It was just awkward silence and a really long time of arguing with my parents before being forced to sleep on the counch, conceeding my bed to the girl. I'm honestly surprised we even pursuaded them at all.
We each sat at a distance, as I was on the PC and she was more interested in playing with the Kitten.
I did my homework while she couldn't take her eyes away from the little kitten.
-Buchi's so cute!
-I find you cuter
-Shhhhhh! look he's Yawning! So cute!
-It's a she
-I'm still angry with you, what sort of sick joke was that you pulled
-I just wanted to give you a gift because today's the day we met, I didn't know you would take it so seriously
-You asshole, never joke with the life of a helpless kitten!
-Bite me!
-I'll kick your Ass!
-Not if I kick yours!
Next day I woke up at the floor, my bed preocupied by Kisara and Buchi. The girl's a beast, but what about school?
I look at the alarm, it was still early in the morning, in a few minutes it would go off.
-Kisara wake up, we have to go to school
-Mom, I don't wanna go to school today
-Kitten, you'll be late for class
-Whom'd you call a Kitten!
-See you're all awake now, put buchi in his bed or we're gonna be late
-Why's it so early?
-I always wake up at this time
-Are you a cock?
-I think you already know Kitten
-Don't call me Kitten!
-Well do you want to take a bath together?
-I'll pass, go wash off your own stinky ass by yourself!
I could only laugh as I went to take a bath, gathered my books and with Kisara went down for breakfast.
Kisara was a bit curious about what I was eating so she tried some of my herb and root salad, only to go wash her tongue as if she had just licked shit. My father gave me a thumbs up, while my mother seemed rather bashful that night, in her mind "my little boy has become a man".
Kisara was in her own clothes once more and we took our own ways as she headed home for her school bag. While I took it easy arriving at school early again.
Today's class I couldn't concentrate like at all, my mind just drifted to the night before, It was something new, something amazing. Before I knew it the teacher was shouting at me and threw me out of class. Well it was to be expected I was simply too preocupied with stuff of my own.
-So how did it go yesterday?
-Oh, Shirahama Kid
-How did the date go
-We did it, we're now officialy a thing
-Wow! You kissed her!
-What are you talking about, we have already kissed plenty of times before, we did that, you know what happens between a man and a woman
-What you got married!
-Not yet, but we're headed towards that direction
-Then what did you do?
-Go ask your parents about the Flowers and the Bees, they'll tell you
-I'll ask, but I don't know how honey making will explain anything
-Shirahama Kid, you're adorably naive, but I'm really happy so please go play with your girlfriend
-Wait, I need your advice, you see me and Miu are just friends, I have read books about how to find a girlfriend, but it's not working, please share your wisdom with me
-Have you tried giving her flowers?
-It didn't work, for some reason the wind in Ryozanpaku is so violent that all flowers end without leaves once I enter
-What about chocolates?
-They mysteriously disappear, I think there's a hungry ghost following me and it only targets heart shaped chocolates
-Have you tried describing your feelings through a love letter, just put it in her shoe box
-Thank you, I'll do it right now!
"What're you doing my best of friends Kenichi?"
Goblin Niijima appeared behind us, he's lucky I'm not Violent Miu or he would have been sent flying, although I have to tell that she has calmed down considerably I even saw some people escape her Violent side, her self control has become a lot better, but her relationship with Shirahama Kid has sort of stagnated it seems.
-Hey Goblin Niijima, haven't seen you around(Yashin)
-Fenrir! crap, shit, too dangerous, have to go!(Haruo)
-Wait a moment, did I say you could go?(Yashin)
-No of course this humble little one will stay(Haruo)
-Haruo, who's Fenrir?(Kenichi)
-Just a Nickname I use in Ragnarok(Yashin)
-Wait, you're a deliquent?(Kenichi)
-Not really, maybe, I don't know, It's more complicted than it sounds(Yashin)
-I'm gonna tell the Masters about this, they will be really disappointed about this(Kenichi)
-And I'm gonna tell the class that you're writing a love letter for Violent Miu(Yashin)
-Oh, Kenichi, love letters are so in the past, come with me I'll tell you everything you have to know about love(Niijima)
-Goblin Niijima, where do you think you're going?(Yashin)
-Ken-chan Save me, he wants to kill me!(Niijima)
-I won't let you harm Haruo, he's a slimy bastard and a bad person, but he's my friend(Kenichi)
I could only facepalm myself, how did I even get myself tangled with these idiots, I could even see that Goblin's eyes shine behind kenichi's back, as if he had accomplished some sort of master strategem or something.
"Whatever, just go find some common interest you have with your Violent girlfriend, if you have nothing in common, then make one, find what she likes and begin liking it, that's how people get laid"
I left them alone as they were whispering to one another, It sounded like bullshit and honestly I didn't care. In the first place all I wanted from Niijima was info on Ragnarok, I don't even know what they're about, all I know is that Kisara gave me a glove with a VIII on it and told me that I'm her boss now. I don't really mind, but I would love to know more about what I've gotten myself into, but why not directly ask Kisara about it.
Kisara at the time had a headache as she heard that her best fighters had just been demolished by Kenichi and even worse that bastard Tsuji wouldn't let her be. She was really angry, although she knew she could probably take him on, he had more men under his belt and her forces were only twindling, she even even thought about asking for a small favour from all yours, but it felt too weak of a response, she didn't wish to make her image as a kickass crumble to dust, she wasn't your cute defenseless maiden that would resort to such petty tricks.
Tsuji asked her to not intervene and let him take care of Kenichi, well judging that Kenichi is supposed to go to the same dojo as Tiger, then without enough people he would suffer even if she didn't make a move.
She made a weak attempt at disuading him, only to make that idiot's will stronger, for once she was looking forward to seeing Kenichi win.
Later in the same day however she was terribly disappointed, that bastard had defeated Kenichi. It was late thus she came to visit Buchi. I was at the Dojo, but my mom was really happy to see her daughter in law, Kisara was quickly overwhelmed by the direction of the conversation, especialy when marriage was involved.
She wanted to be a bad girl, a deliquent fighting in the streets and enjoying the thrills of life, not a home warming wife and housekeeper.
If mother hadn't some work to do around the house, she would have probably gone crazy. At around that time I returned from the Dojo, the night was really hot and the next morning was even hotter, for some reason she didn't want to go to school, but neither did I.
My mother came shouting, but seeing us naked in bed, she could only close the door and leave, this was the spring of youth, there was nothing she could do about it other than be happy for her son.
Of course it would be a completely different matter if she knew I had become a deliquent, she would have thrown us both naked out of the house without a second thought, So that we could think what wrong we had done.
later Kisara was rather confused as she saw me doing some rather weird excercise, she tried to follow some of the moves, but gave up, it was simply unnatural for a human's arms and legs to bend that way.
-Do you want me to teach you how to fight better?
-That, I don't know if I want my arms to bent that way
-That I probably can't teach you how to do even if I wanted to, that's something Master Ogata did for me, although kind of pointless at first sight, it allows me do some sick moves, like this
What followed was like something from a thriller movie, I turned my head 180 degrees, which cause Kisara to scream and my mother to charge into the room.
"Scaredycat!"
That last word earned me a beating, that maybe I deserved, non the less I begun talking to her about Dou and Sei and how they work and feel, at least for me.
Before we knew it, it was dark outside, she had stayed with me a night and a day, I was sure that her parents would be worried, but she assured me that it was no big deal, something like "They probably don't even know that I'm missing". I didn't want to intrude into her family problems, but I felt a bit hurt that she didn't trust me with them.
Next morning we went to school like nothing had happened, but It felt like being in paradise for one day, no troubles and worries, only love and cuddles and a few kicks now and then, but otherwise paradise.
School was boring, although it felt strange seeing Shirahama Kid Running from so many bullies, did he go hit some deliquents' nest or something, Oh right, it's those guys from Ragnarok, well non of my business. After all he has so many Masters behind him, if something happens his death will not go unavenged.
After quitting the Rhythmic Gymnastics Club, well technicaly I was thrown out due to too many absences and because unlike Violent Miu I'm not super talented at it.
I went home to find some luxurious cars waiting outside my house and men in black were waiting outside the door. Are we really illegal aliens or something?
I approached the door with cautiousness, for some reason it was half open and the two big guys didn't really care that I went inside.
At the dining table sat my parents, Kisara and another Couple in rich clothes whom I didn't recognize.
The woman was wearing an expensive traditional dress, her hair long, but her proportions were similar to Kisara's, especialy at the chest area. The man had red hair, sideburns and a mustach and wore an expensive looking traditional attire, I could even see a short sword at his waist.
-Is this your so called "Tiger", doesn't look like much(Unknown woman)
-I thought we raised you better than that, but it seems you need a wake up call(Unknown man)
A big guy tried to approach me from behind and grab me, only for my hand to reflexively bend the other way and catch his hand. The man tried his best to move his arm, but it was as if he had trying to take it out of wet cement or something.
-What's this all about?(Yashin)
-Son these are Kisara's Parents, we took the liberty to call them to arrange your marriage, but it seems that it won't be so simple(Dad)
-Young man I'll agree that you're good, but you're still too wet aroud the ears, if you wish to be with my daughter you must first know what you are getting into(Kisara's Father)
-Yup, you should know why I divorced this bastard!(Kisara's Mother)
-Silence Woman, you think people will take me seriously if you act like a bitch(Kisara's Father)
-It's because of you that our little girl run away, don't try to deny it(Kisara's Mother)
-Go suck a cock you Luxury Slut, calling yourself a hostess is an insult to hostesses(Kisara's Father)
-You despicable Adulterer, did your 7th wife not come out of shame or have you already divorced her?(Kisara's Mother)
-You unfaithfull woman, my new wife is perfect in all accord, you could't even measure to her little pinky(Kisara's Father)
-Of course I can't, after all while I'm here caring about our daughter that woman is probably slurping her bodyguard large cock like this...Suck! Pop! Suck! Pop!(Kisara's mother)
-You!You!Sorry I have an urgent call to make(Kisara's Father)
-Probably went to find out if his wife is cheating on him, so dear, how many times did you do it, did you take protections, you don't want to end up old and miserable like me do you?(Kisara's Mother)
-I...(Kisara)
-I see, no protections, probably more than once, It's such a pity, but I'll have to agree with your father, this man is most probably out for our fortune, even if you are pregnant, you should abort it, it's not worth losing your figure over an unwanted child(Kisara's mom)
-Mom I'm not pregnant!(Kisara)
-How do you know, did you do a pregnancy test, from now on you'll have to do one every week if you want to live as unbridled as you have(Kisara's mom)
-That adulterous bitch, I'll kill her, sleeping with her bodyguard while I'm away(Kisara's dad)
-It's not her fault that your manhood is not enough to satisfy a woman(Kisara's Mother)
-Stop barking you stray bitch, it's all your fault that our daughter has become a slut!(Kisara's dad)
-That's Enough! you can insult me as much as you like, but if you call my woman a slut once more I will not sit silently and take your insults, go find a nice corner somewhere go curse yourselves as much as You like, I spit on your money, If money could buy love, you wouldn't have divorced and if you care for your daughter then let her live her life as she sees fit, not by your standards, but her own(Yashin)
-You have balls kid, to raise your voice like that, but reality is cruel, Men silence them and bring my daughter with us(Kisara's dad)
The man reached for the inside of his attire, while to fetch a cigar, while the bodyguards reached for their weapons.
Two shurikens to the hand were enough to disarm them, and two chops to their necks to neutralize them.
-Your bodyguards seem tired, so why don't we sit down and talk like a happy civilized family(Yashin)
-What do you want, money, weapons, drugs, prostitutes!(Kisara's Father)
-I want you to leave us alone, if you weren't Kisara's parents I would have already beaten you both up, for being such bad parents to such a wonderful daughter, do you even know that Kisara still loves you both so much, although you don't deserve even her spit!(Yashin)
-You!(Kisara's Father)
-I what?(Yashin)
-I kind of see your boyfriend in a new light(Kisara's mother)
-Shut up woman, now Men are talking!(Kisara's Father)
-What backwards world did this old man come from, sorry Kitten, but your father is a relic, does he still believe that women don't have the right to vote or something?(Yashin)
-You!(Kisara's Father)
-I what! Say it already, where did all that bravado go, once your bodyguards are down all you can do is bark?(Yashin)
-Son, I think you're overdoing it a bit, I'm sure that these people have their reasons for what they are doing, every man has a story behind his actions, how about you two stay here and me and your mother will go out with them to have a long talk(Dad)
-I agree, I'm sure that they had only the best intentions for their daughter, we don't know their sircumstances so don't be so fast to judge other people(Mom)
For some reason I had a weird feeling about this, I felt as if my parents eyes had turned into Dollar signs. Is this how anime characters whose parents try to sell them off feel?
The adults left, leaving us alone.
-What do you think bout my parents?
-Total jerks
-Is that all?
-Is there anything else to say, after all we too were partialy at fault, if you had told me sooner
-Do you regret it now?
-I would have went and asked for your hand immediately, wouldn't have to date you for so long
-You bastard!
What followed was a short chase that ended in my room, where we X and Y once more.
In the Ryozanpaku Dojo, in a dark room, with only a single candle, the Elder and Miu's Grandfather was sitting, his expression deep and melancholic.
"I feel a disturbance, Miu the food is burning!"
