The "Duel Under the Rainy Sky", a huge marketing success will become a classic, the unknown actors could not be found, but many critics still try to replicate the special effects used.
At the Ryuzanpaku, the Elder, masters and even Kenichi and Miu were sitting down to watch the movie.
-When he challenged me I thought to just teach him a lesson, little brat caught me good
-Elder didn't you say that losing is a good thing?(Kinichi)
-Good thing? My combo's been broken, now I will have to start all over again, a real pity that the brat didn't make it in the end, he was always in such a rush to get stronger that in the end he lost his true goal
-Right, Kisara was so sad, she was devestated(Miu)
-Isn't she with Ukita now?(Kenichi)
-Well she can't grieve for all her life over the dead(Miu)
-But wasn't it a bit too fast(Kenichi)
-Shhh! here comes the good part, at first I had no idea why the brat didn't attack me at his full speed and strength, the brat begun by measuring my strength, see here where he disengages, do you know why he did that?
-Come on tell, already(Kenichi)
-He's trying to give me the false impression about the limit of his speed, pause it over there and go back, do you see right here, it was the moment where his speed overtook mine for a second and I was about to rev it up, but he disengages and decides to throw those needles, do you know why he did so?
-tell already!
-He's just showing off! At this point He Knows that his full speed should be greater than mine, thus he proves it by doing something pointless, as if warning me to give up and proccedes to use his speed to fight me, but his punches and kicks cannot overcome my muscles, thus he decides to use Shigure's knives to threaten me and while I was distracted for a split second he threw caltrops down, It's good that they were rather low quality and didn't do anything
-But What is that magic spell where you turned into three people?
-That was the trick I had used to defeat him last time we fought, I used it to apply pressure on him, but the rascal had stolen it and made it his own, still can't tell how he did so though
-What's with the thunderstrike?
-That was his final test to make sure once and for all that he was faster than me, do you see how I was pushed back? That's because he was faster than me, but due to my strength being greater than his own you can see the result
-From here on the real battle starts as we have determined our strengths and weaknesses
-What's he doing here, casting some spell?
-Nope he's trying to concentrate on the right timing to climb on my hand and do what you see next
-By the way what's that next move you used, why did he suddenly fell to the ground like that?
-That's me using my voice to damage his ear drums, it would have been dangerous if I had let him cut me, after all his knives were coated in poison, a single scratch could be fatal if he had used the right poison
-Why did you turn around there?
-I thought he was unconcious, until all of you begun to shout
-What's that cry he does next?
-That brat tried to replicate my technique right then and there, if he was still alive for a few decades, maybe I would get myself a rival
-But didn't he defeat you?
-I wasn't going all out, I didn't even bring proper armor or weapons, whom would take a 13 years old kid seriously
-Wait, what does he do next?
-That's the forbidden technique that killed him, by combining Dou and Sei one can achieve super human feats, at the cost of his own life, it raised his speed and strength to levels that shouldn't exist, at that moment I felt as if I was in the eye of a tornado all oxygen from the surrounding disappearing, I did my best to avoid being cut, but after the first few cuts I went all out, now that I think about it maybe if I had gone all out imediately he would have given up before using that and losing his life, what a pity
-On the up side we didn't have to fight him in the upcoming battle with Ragnarok
-If that kid had his way, that battle wouldn't have happened for a long time, until even I wouldn't be his oponent, Kenchan, you're lucky he's too hasty otherwise you and Miu would be the only ones able to take him on as we would have become old and week, you'd have to feed us and change our diapers
-Cut it out! you guys, it's not funny(Miu)
The scene where the bloody youth approaches the camera was as if taken from a horror movie. Kenichi and Miu would forever remember this scene especialy since they were there when it all happened, for a moment they had thought that the elder had died.
-So what did we learn today?(Elder)
-Not to show off too much?
-Not to underestimate our opponents?
-Bring a weapon just in case?
-Give up while you still can?
-Apachai?
-Not that, Haste makes Waste, so train hard and long and you will live longer, so Ken-chan will you go back to training now?(Elder)
-NO! let me go!!!
Kenichi was dragged back to train, after defeating Ragnarok, his drive to train had been dulled, thus the Elder thought of inspiring him a little by reminding him that there are people his age that are monsters out there.
Unknown to them however in a large estate of Mr Nanjo, a body of a young boy was put to rest inside his dark low oxygen training chamber, it was about time that his fingers begun to twitch, his body had enough rest, his eyes opened but he saw nothing but darkness, but he remembered everything, he had won, a smile appeared on his face as he remembered that he had kept his promise to her.
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
Waking up was easy, but standing up was almost impossible, my body is weak, I rolled to the side and begun to crawl, I'm not sure where I am, but there's a slit of light at the direction I'm headed, I begin to crawl more actively, my muscles begin to remember what movement is, I use the wall as a support to stand up.
Walking seems kind of hard, with difficulty I opened the door and fell to the ground again, the light from the outside world is refreshing, outside I see the familiar estate, but for some reason it's in shambles, what on earth happened, is this some post apocalyptic scenario, when zombies will begin to pop up at any moment.
Well I have to go see what's us, I crawled to my room, but it was completely empty of both clothes and furniture, everything was gone, leaving a completely empty room.
It was evident that whoever lived here had already left, although I don't know why, I would love to know why I was left behind and what about my parents?
Did they all think I've died or something? Well that would make the most sense, my muscles are in pain and I need to eat something, I crawl at the pace of a snail, I don't know how long it's been, but my strength is recovering little by little.
I can't sense anyone inside, but I can hear a meowing sound, it seems I was not the only one left behind. Inside of Kisara's room I see Buchi, he's also happy to see me. I feel strange, normaly I would have detected buchi's presense, but now I have to touch it to do so, it's as if I've reverted back to a regular human, well maybe not as regular, but it's a huge downgrade from being a Super Human Martial Arts Master.
Buchi seems to be hungry, I too am hungry, I can hear sound from downstairs, this familiar voice I would never forget, it's Kisara, the other however talking with her, I can't tell whom it is, but it's no doubt a man.
"Noir is such a bully, and buchi this scardycat he always run back to this estate after he's bullied"
I waited for them to arrive as I held Buchi in my hands, the moment however that Kisara saw me she begun to shout "Ghost!"
The other person a browny guy with short brown spikey hair and sunglasses rushed at me, he grasped my shoulders and was about to throw me to the wall or something, in a panic I elbowed his face, causing him to let me fall down, I used the floor to trip him down and was about to punch his face when I remembered about Buchi, it was good that the kitten was safe, I released it, before I continue to fight this brute.
"Ukita Stop!"
Kisara shouted I looked at her and she looked at me, I tried to talk but nothing came out, it was as if I was some sort of monster that didn't breathe at all, I seem to have forgotten how to do that, but how can a person survive without breathing?
I sat down and just looked at them, my clothes looked rather fancy, but full of dust, I simply sat there and they stood awkwardly, non spoke for a moment.
-How are you still alive?(Kisara)
-...
-Hey, answer her dude(Ukita)
-plop.plop.plop.
-Are you mocking us?(Ukita)
-Wait, Ukita that's my Ex-boyfriend, the one that has "died"(Kisara)
-So he is a ghost after all!(Ukita)
-Be careful, he used to be martial arts master, he's probably a Jiangshi!(Kisara)
-That was close, I'm sure about it now, It's trying to drain my life energy to heal itself, that's how it became stronger when I touched it(Ukita)
I wanted to bash my head on the ground from their Bullshit, but in that moment I sighed, that was the beginning as I took a deep breath and felt my lungs resume their work and my blood pumping like crazy. It was returning to me, a burst of strength that wasn't there before. I stood up efortlessly and now it was time to try speaking.
What came out of my throat was a terrifying screach, one unlike any human should be able to produce. Kisara and Ukita were shocked shitless, too terrified to move, it was after all insane to imagine that you would suddenly encounter a Life sucking Vampire.
-Uff, finaly I can talk(Yashin)
-Evil Vampire I will protect Kisara with my Life(Ukita)
-Shut up! your stupidity is making me dizzy, I just woke up and the whole place seems as if it has been abandoned for years, what's going on Kisara!
-Don't fall for it's tricks!
-You really annoy me, Kitten if you won't tell me I will go find Mr Nanjo, I'm sure he will be happy to see me alive and well
-Your threats won't get through you evil Vampire!
"Shut it Ukita"
Every second that passed I regained some of my lost power, It was strange to suddenly see their emotions once more. Ukita was deep shit afraid, if not for Kisara he would have probably have already ran away, while Kisara was afraid and confused at the same time, she was unsure whether to believe what was happening in front of her. You have to know that Two months had passed since that battle, many things had changed and the young man in front of her was a forgotten existance, someone whom was already registered as a dead person.
Even his own parents believed he was dead and moved on, she also did the same, but now he returned like a nightmare from the past, calling her that despicable Nickname he came up with.
-So will you tell me or not?
-After you died, Ragnarok went on the offensive, they comandeered this estate and now are no more, Kenichi defeated Odin and everyone can now live happily ever after
-How much time has passed
-Around two months
-That explains why I'm so hungry and thirsty, mind threating me I seem to have no money at the moment, I'll return it later
-As long as you don't eat brains and drink blood
-I'm not a vampire or a zombie
-That has to be proven first, Ukita have your eyes on him, if you see his claws extending or fangs appearing be on the ready
"Yes Mum!"
I don't know if I'm lucky or unlucky that they are idiots, but I really need to drink something before I trully go mad and try drinking their blood.
Not long afterwards we were sitting at a fast food and I was gorging a burger as if it was a treasure, savoring every bite of it. After a life of eating only roots and herbs even junk food would taste like heaven.
"Eat slower, you'll choke yourself"
I forgot that everything begun to move at a snail's pace once more, regular people see me as if I'm the flash or something, I have to fix that, but right now is not the time for that.
-So who's this?(Yashin)
-Well we're sort of Dating, so he's my boyfriend(Kisara)
-Is he strong enough to protect you?(Yashin)
I didn't even need to hear and answer as her blushing made it evident, what sort of spell did he use to turn her into an obedient kitten?
-Is he strong enough to protect you from me?
-I'd need to call an exorcist for that...bloody...vampire
-Then you don't need him anymore, since I'm back
"I won't take this from you, lets go out and solve this like men"
Ukita seems to have snapped, I don't know why but I can feel that his anger has clouded his logic and fear, he trully thinks that he can defeat me.
Kisara on the other hand is now afraid, I hate this scenario, I hate them both, it took her only 2 months to get over me and find a new boyfriend. Calm down, there must be a reason, I'm sure not everything has been lost, two months isn't such a big time, I'll have time to make it up to her and once more we can be happy together.
We took it outside, Kisara stayed behind to pay the bill.
-So how do you want to die?
-You stupid Vampire I will defeat you
"Are they shooting some sort of movie"
"Wait isn't that the protagonist of Duel under the Rainy Sky"
"He looks so young"
"Are they shooting a movie"
"Where are the cameras"
The idiot charged at me only for me to side step and stand at my original position, to the people around it would seem as if he passed through me, but in reality he's so slow that I don't even know why I bother with this.
"Is this special effect"
"How did he do it"
"Is he a magician"
Ukita stumbled and hit his own head into the pavement, seconds later I heard Kisara screaming "Ukita!" and running by his side.
=I have totaly lost=
Both me and Ukita said the same phrase at the same time, we looked at one another, I could feel as if I saw myself in him, the me from before I met Master Ogata, the one whom Kisara could easily beat. There is still hope, she hasn't forgotten me, what she found is probably a substitute, all I need to do is have her remember.
Everyone was shocked, as the young man had suddenly teleported next to the young woman and out of nowhere kissed her. The long awaited slap didn't arrive, I could feel her familliar lips and she could feel mine, in front of all the onlookers we simply disappeared, leaving a confused Ukita struggling to stand up.
"You damn Vampire, I will get you even if it's the last thing I will do!"
