Chapter 015

  Unbroken Traditions

  Dai jumps onto a rooftop as he sees Takumi rushing Kingsman and throwing a barrage of punches but Kingsman dodges all of the punches without looking at Takumi until Kingsman turns around and Kingsman catches both of Takumi's wrist as he pulls him close and kisses him on his forehead as Takumi is *angry* and tries to pull his hand away but he can't and Takumi screams as he explodes and Dai is *shocked* as he screams

  "SENSEI!" But as the smoke clears Kingsman is standing with Takumi still holding his wrist unfazed as Kingsman knees Takumi in the stomach and slams him into the ground as Kingsman puts a foot on his chest and says

  "Takumi, do we truly have to do this? I don't wish to fight you!" Takumi tries to push Kingsman foot away but he can't and Kingsman slightly lifts his foot as Takumi slides from underneath it and stands up as he is *angry* and says

  "I'll kill you!" Takumi tries to punch Kingsman but Kingsman catch his punches as he bends his arm behind his back and he tries to punch Kingsman with his other hand but he can't move his other hand and he is *confused* until he notices Kingsman holding both of his own hands behind his back causing Takumi to hug himself and Kingsman says

  “Takumi, I truly think we should be friends and stop fighting! What do you think?” Takumi is *angry* as he says

  “Get the hell off of me you bastard!” Kingsman says

  “I know you don't really want to fight!” Kingsman wraps Takumi’s arms tighter around him as Takumi *screams in pain* and Kingsman knees Takumi in the stomach knocking the wind out of him as he lets go of one of his hands and punches Takumi in the stomach as he let's Takumi drop to the floor and Kingsman says

  “So are we friends now?” Takumi can barely catch his breath as Kingsman picks him up and brushes him off and Kingsman *smiles* as he throws him into the air and he says

  “Give us a fire show Dai!” Dai activates his fire gauntlets as he jumps into the air and punches Takumi all over his body until Dai uses his fire to fly above Takumi as he puts his hands together and slams them down on Takumi's back launching him towards Kingsman as Kingsman hits him with the back of his sword launching him back up into the air and Dai lands back on the roof as Takumi erupts with Dai's flames and Dai says

  "Remember this before you die! A battle is not over until your enemies back is on the ground and their chest is still! You lost focus when we battled, and that will be your downfall you impotent child! Now burn away!" Suddenly black slashes appear all over Takumi’s body as Kingsman says

  “Away!” The slashes on Takumi’s body activates as his body starts crumbling away and blowing into the wind as Dai's fire violetny surges across his body and Takumi *screams in pain* until his throats crumbles away and disappears in the wind as he continues to crumble away and fall towards the ground as Dai steps closer to the edge of the roof and watches Takumi's body disappear in the wind before he hits the ground and Kingsman jumps up next to Dai as he says

  “Good job Dai, now let's get back to the others” Kingsman and Dai jump off the roof as they start walking through the debris but Kingsman stops as he walks onto the street and notices Ichiro laying on his back with one hand holding up the statue and Kingsman grabs Dai's shoulder as he says

  "Dai I need a favor, make sure no one else is injured. Especially check on Itsuki, he'd never tell me when he's hurt" Dai says

  "If they were-" Kingsman *smiles* as he grabs Dai's shoulder and says

  "I'm counting on you Dai!" Dai *sighs* as he says

  "Fine, but if he starts talking about not being able to walk I'm not carrying him!" Kingsman *laughs* as he says

  "I don't think he would pretend to be hurt to get you to carry him" Dai continues walking through the debris as Kingsman walks down the street and crouches down next to Ichiro as he looks at the statue and says

  “I don't think your god will protect you now, I believe you should lose faith! Or possibly find a better god, I have one in mind” Ichiro slowly looks up at Kingsman as Kingsman notices *the exhaustion and pain* in Ichiro's face and Kingsman stands up as he says

  "Welp, I tried to spare you. But when this new god starts smiting people, I don't believe you'll be safe!" Kingsman kicks dirt in Ichrio's eyes as he turns around and walks away as suddenly a giant bolt of lightning slams down on the statue destroying some houses around it as the ground splits open and everything starts violently shaking behind Kingsman as Kingsman walks through the debris and sees Dai,Itsuki and Riku all talking as he says

  “Let’s go, you all have a long way home!” Riku looks at Kingsman as he walks up next to them and he says

  “Wait Sensei, before Okada died he said Miura set us up to be killed when we came here!” Itsuki and Dai are *shocked* and Kingsman says

  “I would have assumed something like that, had I not already found out” Riku is *shocked* as he says

  “What!? How would you know that?” Kingsman says

  “Because they would have never known any of you were coming or even the direction you all would have come from. Plus with Gyomei,Saigo, and Kenshin all at one hundred percent and all of you it was almost impossible for you all to lose, but I’ll have Kaito handle him since he’s not my warrior and it’s not even my region!” Dai is *confused* as he says

  “What are you talking about? Didn’t you build the entire region and every village inside of it!?” Kingsman says

  “Yes we did, but to make sure all of you are safe I have decided to leave the region. So now if word gets out that I came here, I would have already left the region meaning they can’t hold Kaito responsible for my actions” Riku,Itsuki and Dai are *shocked* and Riku says

  “What about Akita? What about Hana!? Tadashi? Kaito? Kenji!? What about all the people that love and care about you there!? How are we supposed to tell them you aren't coming back!?" Kingsman *smiles* as he says

  “I trust all of you, I know you'll be able to find a way! Kaito is an excellent teacher, the only difference is that he won't be as violent. Which...Should be better for all of you, it truly has been fun! Even though we didn't have much time together, all of you hold a special place in my heart! I know you'll all grow up to be men this world will respect, more importantly I know you'll grow into me I can call my equals! But until that day, don't forget about me! Ok?” Kingsman turns around and starts to walk away but Itsuki jumps in front of him as Itsuki says

  “But Kenji,Hana, and Akita won't be fine! How do we tell Kenji when he wakes up you're not going to be there anymore? Akita is going to be worried sick when we bring Kenji home like that and Hana is going to be scared! How do you expect us to tell them you’re not going to tell them everything is going to be ok? We can't tell them anything to make them feel safe or not scared! It has to be you!” Kingsman says

  “Don't worry, I know Akita will be able to handle Kenji and Hana. If she can deal with me alone for all those years then she can handle them...I know it is selfish, but tell her this is something that needs to happen!” Dai says

  “I’m not going!” Kingsman is *shocked* as he turns around and says

  “What!?” Riku clenches his fist as he says

  “We’re not going back without you!” Kingsman *sighs* as he says

  “I’m doing this to protect all of you!” Dai steps up as he says

  “You already taught us how to protect ourselves, what was the point in teaching us all of this if we can't even use it to protect the people we care about!” Kingsman says

  “Do you want to fight every region's armies at once!?” Itsuki says

  “If we do it standing by your side, yes!” Kingsman says

  "None of you can comprehend the things you're suggesting! None of you will ever be ready for war, I won't allow another one to happen! No one should see...Go home!" Kingsman turns around as he continues walking but suddenly Kingsman's arm is pulled back and Kingsman looks back as he sees Itsuki's Kyoketsu Shoge rope wrapped around his arm and Itsuki turns around as he looks Kingsman in his eyes and Kingsman notices Itsuki *holding back tears* and he says

  "Let me go Itsuki!" Itsuki says

  "...I can't!" Kingsman turns around as he starts walking forward and Itsuki tries to pull Kingsman back but Kingsman drags Itsuki forward as he walks until suddenly a giant wind chain wraps around his chest as it slides Kingsman slightly back and Kingsman looks back as he sees Riku pulling him back with the chains and Kingsman turns around as he takes a step but Dai steps up as he wraps his Kusarigama around Kingsman's other arm and pulls him back stopping him in place as Itsuki *through held back tears* says

  "I won't lose you again!" Dai tightly pulls against the chain as he says

  “I refuse...To be led by anyone else!” Riku struggles to hold the wind chains as he says

  “We won’t let you abandon us! No matter what we have to do, we won’t let you leave! No matter what, because you're not going-” All of them scream

  “ANYWHERE!” Itsuki and Dai both *scream in anger* as they tightly pulls against there weapons and Itsuki's lightning surges out as it wraps around his Kyoketsu Shoge as Dai's fire wraps around Kusarigama until Kingsman reaches back and grabs Dai’s chain with his left hand as he grabs Itsuki's rope with his right and he pulls them away from Itsuki and Dai hands as he tosses them too the side and he punches the wind chains around his chest shattering them as he continues walking and says

  "You may not realize it, but this is a very hard decision for me to make. This is one of the few times I wish I could turn it off and be the thing I once was, but when you get old and settle down it tends to smooth that violent flame in your heart! Right now I know all of you are hurt and believe I'm just abandoning you...But in the future you will thank me for this!" Suddenly Itsuki and Dai drop in front of Kingsman and Kingsman stops as he notices Itsuki holding his sword and Dai's fire gauntlets surging around his hands as the wind around them speeds up and Dai *clenches his fist in anger* as he says

  "I won't move from this spot, I refuse to allow you to leave like this! If you want me too step out of the way...Then fight me! One on One no holding back, whoever wins gets their way!" Itsuki tightly grips his sword as he says

  "I want the same! I won't allow you to pass until you beat me! But I won't quit, even if I have to crawl after you! One day I will catch you and I'll keep fighting!" Suddenly a wind force field surrounds them as Dai and Itsuki both rush Kingsman as Kingsman *sighs* and crotches down as he says

  "Enough!" Itsuki and Dai both stop inches from Kingsman face as Itsuki drops his sword and Dai's gauntlets vanish as they both hug Kingsman and Ituski *cries into his chest* as he says

  "Please...Don't leave! I'll take the blame for all of this if I have to! As long as I get to see you again!" Dai pulls away from Kingsman as he looks into Kingsman's eyes and says

  "If you leave...I'll quit training entirely! I'll never fight again!" Kingsman says

  "All I was trying to do is protect all of you, I refuse to lead anyone into war again!" Dai says

  "I'll do it! I can-" Kingsman says

  "No! We'll find a different way, I won't go to war anymore! My wife has tried to change me for years, and I believe it's time to try a different route this time!" Itsuki says

  "Really!?" Kingsman says

  "Yes, I think we can!" Itsuki tightly hugs Kingsman as he says

  "Thank you Sensei!" Kingsman says

  "No problem, but let me go before I have to kill you!" Itsuki and Dai step back as Kingsman says

  "We-" Suddenly the wind force field disappears as Kingsman feels a hand pressed against his back and a voice from behind him says

  "You made promises, you have to keep them!" Kingsman looks back and sees Riku as he *chuckles* and says

  "Relax kid, I said I'm coming back!" Kingsman turns around as Riku hugs him and says

  "...Thank you!" Kingsman says

  "All right, that's enough physical contact for the year!" Riku let's go of Kingsman as Kingsman walks towards the shore and everyone follows him but Kingsman notices Riku side eyeing him as he has a small ball of wind in his hand as Kingsman *laughs* and says

  "Riku, if I wanted to run away there's nothing you could do to stop me! But I said I'm coming back" Riku says

  "Initially, no I can't. But I would track you down eventually" Kingsman *smiles* as he says

  "And then what?" Dai says

  "Then all of us collectively beat you until you can't move and drag you back to the village!" Kingsman is *shocked* as he says

  "You all beat me!? You wouldn't bet your life on that!" Itsuki *smiles* as he says

  "Then we'd just bring Akita with us!" Kingsman *chuckles* as he says

  "And what is she going to do!?" Riku says

  "Physically nothing, but as we're fighting you all we need her to do is talk to you. I've noticed you get very soft whenever anything involves her, so we'll use that to our advantage!" Kingsman *laughs* as he says

  "So we're playing dirty? I thought we were all honorable warriors here!" Itsuki *smiles* as he says

  "She's not stopping any of us from fighting, I don't see how that would be dishonorable. If you just so happen to not want to fight at your top level when she's around that's your decision to make" Dai *smiles* as he says

  "Plus on the slim chance you actually beat me, then I know everybody is going to lose so we have a fail safe in her. And for good measure we could even grab Hana too, how well would you be able to fight with a child wrapped around your leg?" Kingsman says

  "Hmm, all very effective but one question. What do you do If I send them both away and go all out?" Dai says

  "Then we'll do the same, no holding back at all! We've been letting you win these fights because we respect our elders and haven't wanted to make you break your hip fighting too hard!" Kingsman *laughs* as he swipes Dai's feet and Dai falls towards the ground but he holds himself upside down with one hand as he *laughs* and looks up at Kingsman as he says

  "Like I told you, we-" Kingsman kicks Dai in the side of his stomach making him fall over as he *holds his stomach in pain* and Kingsman says

  "You talk too much!" Dai slowly stands up as Kingsman continues walking and Dai jumps in front of Kingsman as he tries to hit him with a barrage of punches but Kingsman dodges all of Dai's punches until Kingsman grabs both of Dai's hands and knees him in the stomach as he grabs Dai by the neck and throws him extremely high into the air as Kingsman *laughs* and says

  "All that pride and ego, but you can't even fly! How could you possibly conquer the stars while only being able to stand on the ground!" Kingsman darkness surges as he flies into the air behind Dai and he grabs Dai's face as he flies down towards the ground and Kingsman *laughs* as he stops Dai's face inches from the ground and Riku is *shocked* as he says

  "Sensei, you can fly!?" Kingsman looks at Riku as he lets go of Dai's face dropping him to the floor and says

  "Of course, but honestly I hate flying. Unless we're fighting in the air I don't really see a need to be flying around all day, plus I need to be fast without flight! But most of the time I just forget I can fly" Itsuki says

  "There's a lot we really don't know about you!" Kingsman *chuckles* as he says

  "Yeah, you all should be a lot more cautious around me. Your putting your lives in the hand of a very dangerous wanted man" Riku is *shocked* and says

  "What do you mean wanted man!?" Kingsman says

  "You didn't know there was a bounty on my head?" Everyone is *shocked* as Riku says

  "No! How was I supposed to know that!?" Dai slowly stands up as he says

  "How much is on your head!?" Kingsman says

  "I don't know, not that much. Only like four" Itsuki is *confused* as he says

  "Hundred?" Dai says

  "Thousand?" Riku says

  "Million?" Kingsman *smiles* as he says

  "Close Riku, add a b and that's near it!" Everyone stops in *stunned* as Kingsman continues walking forward and Riku says

  "You're wanted for...Four billion!?" Kingsman *chuckles* as he says

  "Around there, but that was back at the start of the war. Could have gone up or down with time!" Everyone rushes up next to Kingsman as Dai says

  "What did you do!?" Kingsman opens his mouth but he notices Gyomei and Kenji standing near the edge of the water as they are looking over the water and Kingsman *chuckles* as he says

  "Sorry, we'll finish this conversation later. Right now we need to get home" Itsuki looks over the shore as he is *shocked* and sees Kenji with Gyomei as he says

  “Kenji, your up!'' Kenji turns to look at him and *smiles* as he says

  “Glad to see everybody’s ok. Father, when did you get here?... Wait the treaty!?” Kingsman *smiles* as he says

  “I’ll handle that, you worry about yourself. But I see you pushed yourself hard when you got here!” Kenji *chuckles* as he says

  “Yeah, some big guy came up and started attacking us” Kingsman says

  “You should be able to use your element again in a few hours as long as you don’t use it at all for a while. But anyways, where's the ship you all came on?” Dai says

  “It got destroyed in the fight, where’s the ship they sailed here on?” Kingsman *laughs* as he says

  “It got destroyed in the fight, well I don’t feel like walking again and I’m sleepy so I guess we’ll have to improvise” Kingsman walks off as Itsuki says

  “We could use some of the debris from the ship” Gyomei says

  “Or we could–” Suddenly something giant splashes into the water behind Gyomei as there all splashed by water and they wipe their eyes as they see the top of a house in the water and Kingsman walks past them as he says

  “Or we can use this!” Riku says

  “Smart!” Kingsman pushes against the shore as the roof floats across the water and Dai looks around as there slowly floating on the water and Dai says

  "What are we going to do?" Kingsman lays down as he says

  "Wait!" Dai is *shocked* as he says

  "What!? How long is it going to take to get back!?" Kingsman closes his eyes as he says

  "I don't know, but I'm going to sleep!" Dai says

  "I-" Kingsman says

  "Shut up or you're going to swim alongside us!" Dai crosses his arms as he sits down and Everyone lays down as they all close their eyes and Dai thinks

  "I'm surrounded by idiots!" Dai lays down as he closes his eyes and goes to sleep until Dai sits up *holding his stomach in pain* as he crawls over to the edge of the roof and throws up until he falls back and notices there surrounded by a thick fog with no land in sight and Dai crawls over as he shakes Kingsman awake and Kingsman slowly opens his eyes as he sees the thick fog around them and Dai says

  “Sensei were not moving anymore, what now? I don't know which direction we went in either!” Kingsman stands up as he *yawns* and says

  “This should get us the rest of the way!” Kingsman walks over to the edge of the roof as he puts both of his hands together and slams them against the ocean as it creates a large shockwave the violently shakes the water and everyone is *shocked* as they quickly sit up and Gyomei stands up as he looks at Kingsman and says

  “Did we hit a big wave!?” Kingsman *laughs* as he points behind him and says

  “No…But were about to!” Gyomei looks behind Kingsman as the fog parts and Gyomei sees a giant Tsunami rushing towards them as Dai notices a ship far off in the distance and he tries to look closer but he cannot see any details on the ship as there sweep away by the Tsunami and launched into the air as they flight into the Yahoku village and slams down onto multiple different roofs as Hokama and Miura quickly rush outside as they notice everyone on the rooftops and Miura is *shocked* as he says

  "Damn it, I can't believe all of them made it! Hokama, keep them distracted and get them out of the village as fast as possible!" Hokama notices Kingsman laying on a rooftop and he thinks

  "Is he hurt? Could they have possibly damaged Kingsman!? No, none of them are strong enough to hurt him!" Miura is *confused* as Hokama doesn't respond and Miura says

  “Hokama! Did you hear me?” Hokama looks at Miura as he says

  “What? I mean, Yes!” Hokama jumps up on the roof as he reaches his hand out towards Kingsman and says

  "Are you-" Hokama notices Kingsman is *smiling* as everyone starts *laughing* and Hokama *smiles* as he says

  "You had me nervous!" Hokama helps Kingsman up as Kingsman says

  "Nervous about what? Invading the Fujiwara region? They couldn't even handle one of my students, don't worry about anything!" Hokama looks towards the docks and doesn't see a ship and says

  “Where the hell did all of you even come from without a ship? Did you carry everyone here!?” Kingsman says

  “Nah, we just rode a tsunami to get back! Everybody good!?” Riku is still *laughing* as he says

  “Perfect!” Kingsman jumps over to Kenji as he reaches out and Kenji grabs his hand as Kingsman pulls him up and Kingsman says

  “Boy, you good?” Kenji says

  “I’m good dad don’t worry, my body’s starting to feel better anyways” Kingsman says

  “I noticed your veins have come down past your stomach, but tell me if you start to feel uneasy” Kenji *smiles* as Kingsman drops off of the roof and stretches as everyone drops down next to him and Kingsman says

  "Where is he Hokama?" Hokama is *nervous* as he says

  "He’s…I don’t know my lord” Kingsman slowly turns around as he looks at Hokama and says

  “Your loyalty to some who would throw you in the way to save themselves is amazing, but I’m not mad at it!” Dai *clenches his fist in anger* as he says

  “You're lying!” Dai steps towards Hokama as Kingsman puts his hand up and says

  “We’re leaving! I'm hungry and I know Akita misses you all, plus I left without telling her and I know she's panicked!” Kingsman walks towards the gate as everyone follows him but Kingsman turns around and looks at Hokama as he says

  "I want to see you truly progress on your own, I'll be back in a few months. But I have a challenge if you're willing to accept it!" Hokama *smiles* as he says

  "What is it sir!?" Kingsman says

  "If you can land a hit on me at that time then I'll make you one of my students, do you understand?" Hokama is *shocked* as he kneels and says

  "Yes my lord, I promise I will not disappoint you!" Kingsman says

  "Number one, don't ever call me lord again! Two, the next time you bow to me I'm going to put a sword through the back of your head. Now stand up!" Hokama quickly stands up as Kingsman walks up to him and puts a hand on his shoulder as he says

  "There is mutual respect between us, not a lord and soldier kind. We're friends, ok?" Hokama *smiles* as he says

  "Yes si-" Kingsman punches Hokama in the stomach as he says

  "What did I just say!? Do you call your friends sir!" Hokama *holds his stomach in pain* as he drops to one knee and says

  "...No!" Kingsman says

  "And you still don't listen, now I have to put my sword through your head" Hokama quickly stands up and he is *shocked* as he sees Kingsman holding a sword and Kingsman *smiles* as he says

  "Good, but don't over do it trying to impress me. Pace yourself, I don't want to come back and see your arms not working because you tore all the muscles in them while training. But only time will tell!" Hokama hugs Kingsman as he says

  "Ok, I just want to truly thank you for the opportunity! I meant everything I told you before, I've Idolized you since I was a child and speaking to you now is an honor!" Kingsman says

  "You shouldn't have Idolized me, but I am honored you respect me this much. When I return I truly want to see everything you can do, but until then wait! Now get off of me before I break your ribs!" Hokama *smiles* as he says

  "I won't disappoint you, I promise!" Kingsman says

  "Hopefully not" Kingsman knees Hokama in the stomach and Hokama stumbles back and falls on his face *holding his stomach in pain* as he convulses on the ground and Kingsman turns around as he walks towards the gate and everyone follows him until a voice from behind them says

  “So you all made it back” Everyone is *shocked* as they see Saigo and Kenshin standing behind them and Kingsman says

  "I was wondering where the two of you ran off too!" Dai says

  “Where the hell did you two run off too!?” Gyomei *clenches his fist in anger* as he looks at them and says

  “Your suppose to be warriors, but yet you both left and ran off like cowards!'' Gyomei starts walking towards them both as Kenshin and Saigo are *shocked* by the look on Gyomei’s face but Kingsman grabs Gyomei’s shoulder as he says

  “Wait, let’s hear them out before we do something” Gyomei stops as he stares at them and Kenshin is *nervous* as he looks at Kingsman and Gyomei and says

  “We tried to come back, but we couldn't! After we ran from the soldiers, we ended up running into the four others that passed us. We were outnumbered and had to retreat, so I threw Saigo onto a ship and we sailed here! But when we got here they suddenly stole our ship and we tried to get it back, but they started acting oddly. Actually they sent people back in the direction of the Fujiwara region, I thought they sent reinforcements" Saigo and Kenshin are *nervous* as Kingsman steps forward and Kingsman looks into there eyes as he says

  “Is that the truth?" Saigo and Kenshin start *shaking with fear* as Saigo says

  "...My lord, I promise...We would never lie to you!" Kingsman takes another step forward as he says

  "Are you sure!?" Kenshin says

  "Of course sir! We would never abandon everyone like that...You know us better than that!" Kingsman *smiles* as he says

  "Seems believable enough, now let’s all go home I’m hungry. Itsuki, take us home” Itsuki is *shocked* as he says

  “What!?” Kingsman walks up to Itsuki as he says

  “You can travel through your lightning can’t you?” Itsuki says

  “Yes, but I’ve never done it that far or with this many people and it would come with such force that it might destroy the houses around the area” Kingsman says

  “I-" Gyomei takes a step towards Saigo and Kenshin but a hand firmly grips his shoulder as Kingsman says

  "I said...Enough!" Gyomei stare at Saigo and Kenshin as Kingsman slowly looks at Gyomei and Gyomei slowly steps back as Kingsman lets go of his shoulder and looks back at Itsuki as he says

  "All you have to do is close and envision yourself exactly where you want to be, right in front of the gates to our village. Away from the houses and people, concentrate! I believe in you Itsuki, now do it!” Itsuki *smiles* as he says

  "Alright Sensei!" Itsuki puts his hands into as his lightning covers his hands and the clouds above them start slowly circling and Kingsman looks up at the clouds as he says

  "Focus Itsuki, you do this wrong and you could kill us all!" Riku is *shocked* as he says

  "What-" Suddenly a giant bolt of lightning slams down on top of them as they slam down outside the gates of the Taketomi village and Itsuki is *shocked* as he *smiles* and looks at his hands as he says

  "I did it! I actually did it!" Kingsman grabs his shoulder as he *smiles* and says

  "You did an extremely good job for your first time transporting this many people, but you need to work on your landing. Your letting too much energy disperse as you land, and when that happens your allies are affected negatively. Do you understand?" Itsuki says

  "I understand Sensei, I'll get everything under control!" Kingsman says

  "Good, now help them" Itsuki turns around as he sees Saigo,Kenshin,Riku,Kenji and Dai all on the ground *convulsing in pain* as they are wrapped in lightning and Itsuki pulls the lightning off of them and everyone slowly stands up as Kingsman opens the front gate and he says

  “Gyomei, Saigo, and Kenshin all of you go home! I appreciate everything all of you did for me, even though I had to come clean it up” Gyomei says

  “I’m fine, I have more work to do!” Gyomei tries to walk past Kingsman but Kingsman puts his arm out stopping Gyomei as he says

  “You forget who you're talking to! Gyomei, If I catch you anywhere but your house or a bar I’ll put you on a permanent leave! Am I understood, Gyomei?” Gyomei is *stunned* as he says

  “I…Understand my lord, I apologize for my outburst!” Kingsman says

  “Good, same for you two!” Kenshin *smiles* as he says

  "Gladly my lord, I truly do deserve-" Saigo bumps Kenshin as he looks at Kingsman and says

  "Yes my lord, we appreciate your gratitude!" Kingsman *chuckles* as he says

  "Don't worry about it Saigo, and I do believe you deserve it Kenshin! As you certainly are the strongest out of you three!" Saigo is *shocked* as Kenshin *smiles* and says

  "Thank you my lord, at least someone sees my strength!" Saigo says

  "He has yet to beat me or Gyomei! How could he be the strongest!?" Kenshin looks at Saigo as he says

  "I have beaten the two of you!" Kingsman turns around and walks away as Kenshin and Saigo start arguing and Kingsman *laughs* as everyone follows him up the hill and he stops outside the backdoor of his house as he puts his ear to the door and Dai is *confused* as he says

  “What are you doing?” Kingsman looks at Dai as he whispers

  “Shh, if Akita is in the kitchen she’ll kill me! Matter of fact, one of you go first!" Riku says

  You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

  “You think we want to die first, no thank you! You can go through Sensei, she is your wife!” Kingsman steps away from the door as he looks at Riku and says

  “Good, we have a volunteer” Riku is *shocked* and he tries to run but Kingsman grabs him by the back of his shirt as he cracks the door and throws him inside as he closes the door and listens but everything is silent as everyone peeks their heads in the door and notices Akita isn't in the kitchen as Riku floats inches from the ground and Kingsman walks in as he grabs him by the back of his shirt and pulls him to his feet as everyone walks in and Dai says

  “Look, she’s not even down here!” Kenji is *confused* as he says

  “I wonder where mom is?” Kingsman *smiles* as he says

  “Still as sharp as ever…Tadashi!” Kingsman jumps in front of all of them as Tadashi lunges from the shadows and Kenji is *shocked* as Tadashi tries to bite him in the face but Kingsman grabs him by his collar as he holds him in the air and says

  “Calm down, it’s just us!” Tadashi looks down as he sees Kingsman and Kingsman sits him down as he starts licking Kingsman and Kingsman scratches his head as he says

  “You’ve definitely gotten a bit bigger!” Kenji slowly walks upstairs as everyone is talking in the kitchen and Kenji stops at the top of the stairs as he hears soft sobbing coming from his parents room and he puts his head on the door as he says

  “Mom were–” Suddenly the door opens and falls forward but Akita wraps him in a hug as she *cries* and Kenji hugs her as he *chuckles* and says

  "I'm glad to see you too mom, but you don't have to worry about us we're strong!" Akita tightly holds Kenji and *through her tears* says

  “I’m glad your ok...I was so worried!” Kenji says

  “Dad is downstairs as well, if you we’re worried about where he was. He came to help us, I-” Akita pulls away from Kenji as she wipes her eyes and stops crying as she walks downstairs and Kenji is *confused* as he thinks

  "I've never seen mom like that...Is she actually mad at dad!?"

  At the same time Hana is sitting on her bed as suddenly someone knocks onto her door and she looks up as she says

  "Yes?" But no one responds as Hana stands up and walks over to her door as she opens it but nobody’s there and Hana is *confused* as she steps into the hallway and looks around as she says

  “Hello? Mommy?” Hana walks back into her room and closes the door but she *screams in shock* as she turns around and sees Kenji standing there as he starts *laughing* and Hana hugs him as she says

  “Big brother! When did you get back!?” Kenji says

  “We just got back today, dad’s here to!” Hana is *shocked* as she says

  “Daddy’s back!? Yay!” Kenji kneels down as he says

  “Let’s go see him!” Hana *smiles* as she runs around and jumps on Kenji’s back

  At the same time Akita is standing in the kitchen and sees Riku,Dai and Itsuki sitting at the table as there looking at her and she walks out the backdoor as she sees Kingsman doing upside down pushups near the forest and he notices her walking towards him with a straight face as he stands up and sees the *sadness in her eyes* and he thinks

  "You really do care about me...I love you, but why would you pick me!?" Tadashi notices Akita walking towards them as he slowly starts to stand up but Kingsman puts a hand up and Tadashi lays back on the ground as Akita stops in front of Kingsman and Kingsman says

  "I-" Akita slaps Kingsman and Kingsman is *stunned* as he looks at Akita but Akita continues to slap him as she starts *crying and through her tears* says

  “You did it again, you left without telling me! Why do you keep doing this to me!?” Kingsman falls back onto the ground as he slowly looks up at Akita and says

  “I’m sorry Kit...I had to go and help the kids! I put them in danger and it was my responsibility to get them out of it, I should have told you!” Akita looks down at Kingsman as she starts *crying even harder* and falls to the ground as she holds Kingsman and says

  “I’m sorry, Kingsman I–” Kingsman taps her on top of her head as she looks down at Kingsman and Kingsman kisses her as he says

  “You don’t have anything to apologize about!” Kingsman stand up as he picks up Akita and walks back towards the house as Tadashi follows behind them and Kingsman opens the backdoor as he sees everyone sitting in the kitchen and they notice Kingsman carrying Akita as she's *smiling* and Hana drops off of Kenji's back as she rushes over to them and hugs Kingsman's legs as she says

  “Daddy!” Kingsman *laughs* as he says

  “It’s nice to see you, Little one!” Akita looks at the table and sees Kenji,Itsuki,Riku and Dai sitting around it and she says

  “I’m glad to see all of you are back, are any of you hungry?” Dai *smiles* as he says

  “Haven’t eaten in like three days” Akita says

  “What would you like?” Kingsman says

  “How about I handle the food? Since I've been gone for so long I'll make something special” Akita says

  “No Kingsman, I–” Suddenly Kingsman drops Akita and before she hits the ground a pool of darkness opens up and she drops through it and Kingsman tries to step forward but he notices Hana is still tightly hugging his legs and he starts shaking his legs to get Hana off but Hana won't let go as Kingsman *sighs* and grabs her by the back of her shirt as he lifts her up and looks in her eyes as Hana *smiles* and says

  “I missed you daddy!” Hana reaches out to hug him but she can’t reach him as Kingsman says

  “I’ve missed you too, but you're touching me a lot!” Hana says

  “But I just really missed you daddy” Kingsman says

  “I bet you did!” Kingsman throws Hana back towards a wall as a pool of darkness opens up and she flies through it as Kingsman looks at the table and sees everyone still sitting there and he says

  “Get out of my kitchen while I prepare my food!” Dai *smiles* as he says

  “And if we don’t?” Suddenly a chilling growl comes from Dai's right as Tadashi walks past him and sits down next to Kingsman as Kingsman says

  “That’s what happens if you don’t!” Riku says

  “You don’t need help with this dish?” Kingsman says

  “No, this dish is my secret recipe. I'll handle this and call everyone when it's ready” Everyone goes upstairs as Kingsman starts cooking until he stops and thinks

  "She's probably still misses me even though I'm back!" Kingsman puts a hand up as a small portal opens up to there bedroom and he notices Akita sitting on the bed looking *sad* as Kingsman says

  “Akita, are you lonely!?” Akita sits up as she notices the portal at the edge of the bed and she walks over and tries to go through the portal but she can’t as Kingsman *laughs* and says

  “This is a portal for looking and talking, not traveling. I made it so we can talk and you won't feel lonely!” Akita sits next to the portal as she says

  “What are you making?” Kingsman *chuckles* as he says

  “Mind your business and you’ll find out in a couple minutes” Akita leans forward and tries to look into Kingsman's pan but Kingsman steps fully into the view of the portal as he says

  “What did I just tell you!” Akita says

  “Fine!” Kingsman says

  "So what were you doing when everyone was gone?" Akita says

  "Nothing, I was overwhelmed with worry and stayed in the house! If anyone but you came through the door I... I would have-" Kingsman says

  "BUT! They didn't, I came back through the door the same way I left!" Akita says

  "I know...But what about the time you won't!?" Kingsman *smiles* as he says

  "I'm supposed to be the one that worries, and you're supposed to be here to patch up my scars! Don't you like our dynamic?" Akita says

  "I-" Kingsman *chuckles* as he says

  "I'm joking, I know you care about me and feel the same way when I get hurt! I love you Akita, and you are the most important person in my heart!" Akita says

  "I love you too...But I'm worried that everything you've done in your past will someday catch up too you!" Kingsman stops cooking as he looks at the portal and says

  "One day...It will! I've caused too much pain and trauma for there to be no retaliation against me, but when it happens I'll make sure it's only me!" Akita is *shocked* and Kingsman says

  "I understand that a man like me can't change, but I wish I could...For you! For everyone! But I cannot change and I'm fine with that now, and I love the pretend life I got to create!" Akita is *stunned* as she says

  "What do you mean pretend!?" Kingsman *smiles* as he says

  "Don't think for a second that my love for anyone in this house is fake! But a man like me isn't supposed to have this! A wife, a family, people who care about him, this isn't what I supposed to have! I should have been dead...I should have died alongside them!" Akita puts her hand against the portal as she is *nervous* and says

  "Kingsman!" Kingsman puts his hand up against hers on the portal as he says

  "But, I didn't! Because of that I was able to find you, and I got to live a life I could have only dreamed of as a kid! I truly thank you for that, but I also understand that this isn't a life I was meant to live. But I will cherish every memory until my heart stops beating!" Akita says

  "Kingsman, you aren't a monster! You're not something less than a man undeserving of love! You deserve the life you have, everything we were able to create was because of you! The people in this village feel safe because of you, and I don't know why you can't see it but you are a good man!" Kingsman *chuckles* as he says

  "...Forgot the salt!" Kingsman walks over to the cabinet as he starts looking through it and Akita tries to look in the pan but the portal turns fully black and she is *confused* until she leans back and the portal clears up and she can see the kitchen and Kingsman walks back over as he *smiles* and says

  “Trying to get a peak at the food huh?” Akita *smiles* as he says

  “No, I thought I saw you drop something” Kingsman *chuckles* as he says

  “Hmm, sure” Kingsman turns off the stove as he turns around and says

  “All right, EVERYONE COME DOWN HERE!” Tadashi roars mocking Kingsman and Kingsman *smiles* as he says

  “Tell them again Tadashi!” Tadashi roars again shaking the house as Kingsman turns around and puts his hand out through the portal and Akita takes his hand as he pulls her through the portal and sits her down at the table as everyone sits down around the table and they sees bowls of Spicy Tuna Donburi,Tonkatsu,Ramen, and Purin as Kingsman stands next to Akita's chair and says

  “This is a fest to a job well done on all of our parts!” Kingsman notices Tadashi sitting in the corner as he watches them and Kingsman walks over to Tadashi as he kneels down and scratches him on the head as he stands up and *smiles* as he says

  "Even you did a good job Tadashi, thank you for protecting the house that I left it abandoned!" Tadashi looks up at Kingsman as he notices a large piece of cooked meat in his hands and Kingsman says

  "That deserves a reward, don't you think!?" Kingsman crouches down as he holds the piece of meat out towards Tadashi and Tadashi slowly reaches up as he bites the meat and quickly pulls it back into the corner as Kingsman turns around and walks back to the table as he sits down and eats as everyone *laughs* until they finish eating and Kingsman notices Dai passed out on the floor as Riku is sleeping on the table with his head down and Kenji holding Hana as she's passed out in his arms and Itsuki looks at Kingsman as he says

  “Sensei that was the best food I’ve ever had” Kenji *smiles* as he says

  “Yeah dad, this was amazing!” Kingsman *laughs* as he says

  "Really? Last time I checked you said your mother was a better cook than I was!" Kenji notices Akita sleeping on Kingsman's arm as he *chuckles* and says

  "Usually I could say so, but this time it might have been close to her level!" Kingsman *chuckles* as he stands up and picks up Akita as Itsuki says

  “Are we going to train today?” Kingsman *yawns* as he says

  “I appreciate you both for your compliments, but we’re going to sleep for the night. Tomorrow we’re probably not going to train, since all of you did so well I’ll give you all a break” Kingsman walks around the table as he grabs the front of Hana's shirt and pulling her out of Kenji's arms as he sits her on Akita's stomach and he walks over as he taps Tadashi on the stomach with his foot and Tadashi looks up at him as Kingsman says

  “Come!” Kingsman walks upstairs as Tadashi follows him and Kenji stands up as he stretches and says

  “I’m stuffed, I'll be shocked if I can move tomorrow!” Itsuki stands up as he says

  “If Sensei isn’t going to train us we can start training ourselves!” Kenji says

  “Oh yeah, we were supposed to train when we got back. Sure, we can train right now for at least a few minutes. Cause I'm really tired” Itsuki walks outside as Kenji follows behind him and says

  “We need to fix our–” Itsuki says

  “Speed, we can rarely ever touch Sensei when we fight him. We need to train our reaction time and speed!” Kenji says

  “Ok, how do you want to train our speed?” Itsuki *smiles* as he says

  “Like this!” Itsuki walks to the edge of the hill and jumps down into the pond Kingsman's created and Kenji jumps down next to him as he is *confused* and says

  “What are you planning to do?” Itsuki says

  “I need you to make it rain right over the pond” Kenji says

  "Ok" Kenji opens his hand as a ball of water floats above the pond and starts raining as blue veins reemerge over Kenji's fingers and Itsuki walks into the pound and stops underneath the ball of water as Itsuki summons his sword and he closes his eyes as he holds his sword out and his lightning quickly starts surging all over him until it slowly disappears and Kenji is *confused* until he notices Itsuki's sword turned to stone and Kenji is *shocked* as he says

  "Did you pull all of your lightning out of your sword!?" Itsuki opens his mouth as a black cloud of lightning flies out of his mouth and his sword disintegrates into lightning partials and it flows into the black cloud as it floats up and absorbs Kenji's ball of water as Itsuki slowly lifts up his hand and lightning strikes his hand as he catches it and the lightning morphs into his sword as he drops to one knee and lightning rain drop start falling around him and Kenji is *shocked* as he rushes up and grabs Itsuki as he throws him out of the pond and jumps back as one lightning coated raindrop hit the pond and the lightning surges through the water with such force Kenji feels the ground shaking and Kenji is *shocked as he looks at Ituski and says

  "Are you crazy!? You want to train our speed by slicing raindrops covered in your lightning as we stand in the pond! This is stupid, you could have killed yourself! What if I hadn't been here!?” Itsuki slowly looks up at Kenji as he says

  “That’s how Sensei would do it!” Kenji *sighs* as he says

  “You can’t do everything my father does, he’s had years of training and experience. No matter how stupid he looks doing something, there’s a reason behind it. And more than likely he’s done it all before, he's reckless but respondiable!” Itsuki says

  “But he started somewhere, and I can tell Sensei wouldn't have gone light!” Kenji says

  “Itsuki, if you're so instant on doing this than at least have my father's supervision. Think about it, he could make sure that we are training efficiently and effectively” Itsuki says

  “No, I can do this myself!” Itsuki slowly stands up as he starts walking towards the pond until suddenly he stops and Ituski is *confused* until he looks down and notices his feet are frozen as Kenji's voice from behind him says

  “I’m sorry Itsuki, but its to dangerous and I can’t let you do that!” Kenji puts a hand on his shoulder as he says

  “We’ll do this tomorrow!” Kenji freezes Itsuki as the veins reemerge across his arms and Kenji drops to his knees as he *clutches his hands in pain* and he slowly stands up as he grabs Itsuki's shoulder and looks up as he says

  "This is going to hurt!" Kenji stomps on the ground as ice covers the ground under them and shoots a pillar out of the ground underneath them tall enough for Kenji to talk back onto the hill and Kenji reaches for Itsuki as the pillar starts cracking and Kenji drops to one knee as the veins stretch across his chest and Kenji grabs Itsuki as he throws him onto the hill and the pillar collapses as Kenji's able to jump onto the side of the hill and the veins start pulsing in Kenji's chest as he starts *quickly breathing heavy* and his vision blurs as his hand starts to slip and Kenji slowly starts climbing up as he tries to control his breathing and he's able to pull himself to the top of the hill as he lays next to Itsuki and *slows his breathing* as he slowly stands up and he slightly stumbles as he picks up Itsuki and walks into the house as he sees Riku and Dai sleeping on the floor and he steps over them as he stumbles into the living room and sits Itsuki on the couch as Kenji sits on the edge of the couch and slowly *catches his breath* as he *chuckles* and says

  “Heavier than you look!” Kenji stands up as he walks out of the living room and into the kitchen as he looks at Dai and Riku as he says

  "Night you two!" Kenji walks upstairs as he puts his hand on Hana's door and whispers

  "Goodnight!" Kenji walks over to his parents door as he puts his forehead on the door and whispers

  “Goodnight” Kenji walks back over to his room as he walks in and lays down in his bed but he turns over and takes a book out of his night stand as he starts reading until Kingsman walks past his cracked open door and notices him and he stops as he pushes the door open and says

  “Still struggling to comprehend?” Kenji looks up at Kingsman as he says

  “I’ve been reading this book for years and still can't understand it! Even when you used to read it to me as a kid, I always wondered why you stopped as the hero came to fight the villain for the last time. But now I know you weren’t just stopping for no reason, the story did!” Kingsman *sighs* as he says

  “I hate being cryptic, but sometimes you have to be able to read what’s not truly there. Take those empty pages and turn them into a story of your own. Do you feel like the story restart after you read it again or does it continue on where you can’t see it?” Kenji says

  “I don’t know because it always feels like a new story when I start reading it again, but as I get to the end it all comes flooding back feeling familiar!” Kingsman says

  “It’s your job to decide how the hero’s story ends, do you feel like he was able to beat the villain or do you feel like he was defeated by the villain? Kenji says

  “I don’t know, I can’t tell” Kingsman *laughs* and says

  “So that means it's time for you and the hero's journey to restart, until you understand more! Sometimes you can watch the same thing happen over and over again and think you know everything that’s going to happen, but the small details start to change and form something much bigger!” Kenji says

  “But no matter how many times I read it I still don’t understand if he wins or loses” Kingsman says

  “Maybe the victory isn't as clear cut as beating the villain, but changing him slowly. But who do you think will break first and understand the error in their ways? The Hero or The Villain?” Kenji says

  “I don’t know, the villain seems like he’s unbeatable but the hero just never gives up” Kingsman says

  “Then only time will truly tell” Kenji says

  “But the hero doesn’t seem like a bad guy, he wants to save people!” Kingsman says

  “Both of them are moving off of their own selfish intent, especially when someone tries to dictate how the world should and shouldn’t be. There is no right or wrong, there are just decisions. What those decisions cause, is something they will have to find out!” Kenji says

  “Dad...Are we the hero’s or the villains?” Kingsman says

  “In some people's eyes, we are the noble heroes who put our lives on the line to protect the one we care about. But to others we are the most villainous people the world has ever known and the destroyers of everything they have, and the murderous of their friends and family. Personally I have been both, most of my life I’ve been the most villainous and cold hearted man this world has ever known” Kenji says

  “But your not that anymore, you helped people and saved people from so much. You’re a hero!” Kingsman *smiles* and says

  “I hope one day I can believe that, but people do not always change their nature. It’s only a matter of time before I have to make a hard decision on which path I walk permanently. But until then it’s me and you against the world!” Kenji *smiles* as he says

  “And we’ll face whatever, and we’ll come out even stronger. Together!” Kingsman kisses Kenji on the forehead and *smiles* as he says

  “Get some sleep kid!” Kingsman leaves the room as Kenji puts the book back and falls asleep

  The next day Kingsman wakes up as he goes downstairs and sees Riku and Dai still sleeping on the floor as he says

  “Look at you two hooligans, scuffing up my good table. Do you know how much that thing costed? I don’t know either, I stole it!” Kingsman *laughs* until he turns around and notices a small puddle of water on the ground near the living room and Kingsman walks over and peaks into the living and sees no one

  At the same time Itsuki is back in the pond as he slashes lightning coated raindrops from his black cloud of lightning until he misses one of the raindrops as it hits the water and Itsuki *screams in pain* as he stumbles back and drops to one knee and he thinks

  "I need-" Suddenly another lightning coated raindrop hits the water causing Itsuki to *scream in pain* as he quickly pushes himself off of the ground and starts slicing the raindrops until Itsuki hand cramps and he drops his sword as falls onto his back and looks at the raindrops falling towards him and thinks

  “Damn it...I failed you again, I’m sorry Sensei!" Itsuki tightly closes his eyes as he prepares for the impact but nothing happens and Itsuki slowly opens his eyes as he notices he's on Kingsman's back as Kingsman is slashing all the raindrop and he says

  “So you’ve been out here all night training huh?” Itsuki *weakly* says

  “I was…Trying to get faster, movement speed is easy to change. I was trying my hardest to work on my reaction time!” Kingsman says

  “Pace yourself when your training, you can’t try and rush months of training in one night” Itsuki *weakly* says

  “Yes Sensei…I’m sorry” Kingsman says

  “You have nothing to apologize for, your fighting spirit always craves to become stronger and that’s normal” Kingsman slashes upward splitting the cloud above him and Kingsman throws Itsuki sword in the air and Itsuki's sword absorbs the clouds as his sword starts violently surging and Kingsman says

  “Let’s hope you don’t die!” Kingsman grabs Itsuki by the back of his shirt as he throws him into the air and Itsuki *smiles* as he says

  “I promise not to!” Kingsman covers his hand in darkness as he catches Itsuki's sword and throws it sword at him as it flies towards him with such speed it breaks the sound barrier and Itsuki puts his hands out but the sword hits him in the chest as he falls towards the ground and Kingsman turns and watches as Itsuki slams into the ground creating a small crater and Kingsman slowly walks over to the crater as he stands over Itsuki and he *smiles* until he notices Itsuki's body starting to violently surge with lightning as Kingsman grabs Itsuki by his arm and throws him into the air as Itsuki's lightning explodes off of him with such force it clears the skies as they violent shake from the lightning and Itsuki falls out of the sky as his eyes slowly close and he thinks

  "I didn't fail...Sensei!" Suddenly Itsuki stops as he slowly looks up and sees Kingsman holding him and Kingsman *smiles* as he looks down at Itsuki and says

  "I know kid, and I'm proud of you!" Kingsman lands in his back yard as he sits Itsuki on the ground and says

  "Now that you're done with your early training, are you hungry?" Itsuki *smiles* as he says

  "Extremely!" Kingsman puts his hand out and Itsuki grabs it as Kingsman pulls him to his feet but Itsuki stumbles past Kingsman as Kingsman puts a hand on his shoulder stopping him and Kingsman turns around as he *chuckles* and tosses Itsuki on his shoulder as he says

  "I will pick you up whenever you fall, but I'm not feeding you! Akita will be willing to do it, but don't get used to it! She only feeds me and my daughter, this is the only time I'll allow it!" Kingsman looks up as he notices Itsuki's passed out and he walks into the house as Akita is cooking and she turns around and notices Itsuki as she says

  "Is he ok!?" Kingsman says

  “I guess so, but it's about that time again. Where’s the Little one this morning?” Akita is *shocked* as she quickly turns around without responding and Kingsman walks upstairs as he knocks on Hana and opens it but notices the room is empty and he walks back downstairs as he looks at Akita and says

  “Where is my daughter?” Akita doesn’t turn around and she keeps cooking and Kingsman screams

  “AKITA!” Kingsman's voice shakes the entire house as Akita slowly turns around and notices Kingsman is *angry* but she still doesn't speak and Kingsman walks up to her as he grabs her wrist and Akita is *shaking with fear* as she says

  “K-Kingsman…P-Please don’t” Kingsman drags Akita outside as he says

  “I really didn’t want to have to do this to you!” Kingsman trips Akita as he catches her leg and flies them both into the air as he says

  “This is my last time asking, where is she?” Akita *through a shaky voice* says

  “Y-You wouldn’t hurt me” Kingsman says

  “Your right, but I can’t be there to save you every time. What if this is the one?” Kingsman throws Akita extremely high into the air as she *screams in fear* and Kingsman watches her as she falls past him and she sees Kingsman not moving as she gets closer and closer to the ground until Kingsman suddenly catches her ankle stopping her inches above the ground and says

  “That was close, next time I don’t know if i’ll be this fast” Akita is *panicked* as she says

  “Ok…Ok, she’s with Kaito!” Kingsman *smiles* as he says

  “See, baby that wasn’t that hard now was it” Kingsman throws her back in the air as he turns around and she *screams in fear* as Kingsman looks towards the village but as she's about to hit the ground a portal opens making her drop onto the living room couch and bounces into the air as she lands on her feet and rushes into the kitchen as she can see Kingsman through the doorway and she rushes out and tries to grab Kingsman as he flies into with such force it blows her back into the house as Itsuki catches her before she hits the ground and she is *shocked* as Kingsman screams

  "KAITO!" Itsuki is *shocked* as the entire hill violently shakes and Akita says looks at him as she say

  “Oh no, I have to help Kaito!” Akita quickly stands up as she starts running down the hill towards the village and Itsuki slowly stands up as he sits in a chair and passes out on the table

  At the same time Akemi and Kaito are talking in his office and Kaito leans back in his chair as he says

  “I think with everything going on we should–” Suddenly Kaito sits up as he notices a shadow blocking the light in front of Akemi and Akemi is *shocked* as she looks at the window and Kaito turns around as he sees Kingsman outside of the window and Kaito walks over to the wind as he *smiles* but he notices Kingsman isn't smiling and says

  "Akemi, leave!" Akemi is *scared* as she takes a step back and says

  "Kaito is-" Kingsman pulls his sword from his hand as Kaito notices the black slashes all over his body and he screams

  "NOW!” Akemi runs out of his office as Kaito surges with his Icy Sun flames around his fist and Kaito punches through the window hitting Kingsman in the face and pushing him back as Kaito flies out and tackles Kingsman backwards through the air as he punches him in the stomach and headbutt Kingsman as he tries to punch Kingsman in the face but Kingsman grabs both of Kaito's wrist as he headbutts Kaito and knees him in the stomach as he twist Kaito's hands behind his back and quickly fly towards the ground as Kingsman slams him into the ground with such force it shakes the entire village and Kingsman stands up as he steps on Kaito's hands keeping them behind his back and covers his hands in darkness as every shadow in the village flow towards him until he snaps and the shadows attach to Kaito's creating chains as Kingsman steps off of his back and Kaito's held in the air by his limbs and Kingsman flies into Kaito’s face as he says

  “Where Kaito?” Kaito says

  “I don’t know what your talking about! It looks like you've gone rogue!" Kingsman says

  “If you truly didn’t you would have had no reason to attack me as you did” Kaito says

  “You made me nervous, and I apologize for that. But I truly do not know what you expect when you appear outside someone's window looking angry with a sword!" Kingsman *sighs* as he says

  “So we have to do it this way huh?” Kingsman puts his hand in the air as darkness starts coming towards him from every shadow and it's all combines into a ball of darkness in his hand as it slowly floats out of his hand and morphs into a small dragon and it slowly looks into Kaito eyes as it morphs into a giant dragon with deep black eyes and Kaito is *horrified* as Kingsman flies in front of him and says

  “You’ll talk eventually, but I don't have time to focus on you. So this will interrogate you while I check with an old man!” Kingsman floats to the side as the dragon flies closer to Kaito and opens it mouth as Kaito is *stunned* as he stares into the void and it flies closer until Kaito's head is in it's mouth but suddenly it flies back as it quickly flies into the air beyond the cloud and Kaito is *shocked* as he *tries to control his breathing* and he thinks

  "I couldn't move! I couldn't even think!" Kingsman looks into the air as he says

  “I don’t think it’s done just yet” Suddenly all the clouds are blown away as Kaito looks up and sees the dragon is now wrapped in lightning and it flies back down but it stops at Kingsman’s side as Kingsman says

  “Kaito, this is your last chance. Where is she?” But Kaito doesn’t speak and the dragon charges Kaito as Kaito shoots his Icy Sun Flames from his mouth but the dragon dodges the blast and the dragon shots a blast of darkness across Kaito’s chest and Kaito *screams in pain* as darkness starts moving all across Kaito’s body burning him all over and Kaito *screams even louder in pain* as Kingsman says

  “Look at me!” Kaito's eyes are tightly closed as he continues *screaming in pain* and Kingsman says

  “Look at me!” Kaito opens his eyes as the dragon inches from his face and he's *shocked and through his pain* says

  “Fine…She’s in my home!” The dragon flies back behind Kingsman as Kingsman snaps and the darkness around his chest disappears and he says

  “See that wasn’t so hard, but with how mad you’ve made him i’m not sure I can just absorb him again. You’ll have to handle that on your own!” Kingsman flies towards Kaito’s house as the dragon charges Kaito and Kaito is *shocked* as he screams

  “KINGSMAN, LET ME GO! KINGSMAN!” Akita makes it to the village as she sees Kaito and the dragon charging at him and she screams

  “KINGSMAN!” Kingsman appears in front of Kaito as he puts a hand up and the dragon runs into his hand as it shatters and Kingsman looks at Akita as he says

  “Now stop calling my name!” Kingsman grabs Kaito by his neck and pushes him back sending him slamming into the ground as Kingsman disappears and Akita runs over to Kaito as he says

  “Did you tell him anything?” Kaito says

  “I had to, those eyes… It was like I was looking death in the face!” Akita says

  “Then we have to hurry up and make it over there!”

  At the same time Kingsman has made it outside of Kaito’s house and he pushes the door open as he looks around the first floor and doesn't see anyone and he walks over to the bottom of the stairs and sees Akemi at the top of the stairs with a sword and Kingsman starts walks up as she says

  “Stop Kingsman, or else!” Kingsman stops but then a second later he keeps walking as she swings the sword hitting Kingsman but the sword shatters immediately and Kingsman is unfazed as he slowly looks into her eyes and says

  “I don't think that threat works to well!” He takes the last step as Akemi won't move and Kingsman says

  “Please move Akemi, my brother wouldn't appreciate me hurting you!” Akemi says

  “No!” Kingsman *sighs* as he breathes out a small gust of wind freezing her solid and he grabs her frozen body and moves her to the side as he walks down the hallway and opens a door and sees a baby sleeping in her bed and Kingsman slowly approaches her as he whispers

  “Emi, do you know where the Little one is?” She makes a small noise as shes sleeping and Kingsman whispers

  “Thank you!” Kingsman quietly walks out of the room as he softly closes the door and walks past Akemi to the other room and he opens the door

  At the same time Akita and Kaito have just come through the front door and runs upstairs as Kaito breaks the ice around Akemi and Akita runs past them as she jumps on Kingsman back and says

  “Stop Kingsman!” Kingsman spins around as he tries to pull her off his back but Akemi jumps on his legs as Kaito restrains his arms but Kingsman covers his arms in lightning electrocuting Kaito until he let's go and falls onto his back as Kingsman reaches down and grabs Akemi's leg and Akita’s arm from around his neck as he pulls them both off of him and drops them both on top of Kaito as he creates chains from his darkness and binds them together pinning them to the floor as Kingsman walks over and opens the closet and doesn’t see anyone and he walks over and picks up the bed as he sees Hana hiding in the corner and he reaches out to her as she's tries to push herself into the corner farther but Kingsman pokes her as he says

  “I got you!” Hana is *sad* as she says

  “That’s not fair dad, where’s Uncle Kaito and Mommy!?” Kingsman points behind him as he says

  “Over there, they couldn’t stop THE HIDE AND SEEK CHAMPION! Since I found you again, this year that means you don’t get any ice cream for two months. But I do!” Hana is *angry* as she says

  “No, that's not fair! Mommy!?” Akita *sighs* as she says

  “I’m sorry honey, we couldn’t help you. Your Father is very intimidating and he's fast!” Hana starts *pouts* as she says

  "I don't like this game anymore!" Kingsman says

  "You're the one who wanted to play hide and seek this year, I usually like tag. It takes a lot less time!" Hana crawls from underneath the bed as she says

  "But that's not fair daddy your to fast!" Kingsman says

  "So what would you like to do next year then?" Hana says

  "I don't wanna play anymore" Kingsman *laughs* as he says

  "Your only saying that because you keep losing, what about the last time you won? How about this, we'll find a new game to play to see who gets ice cream" Hana says

  "But what game?" Akita says

  "How about a drawing competition?" Kingsman says

  "You know I can't draw" Akemi is *shocked* as she says

  "With how good you are at everything else you do I'm surprised you can't draw!" Kingsman *laughs* as he says

  "I spent my entire childhood learning how to murder people, I didn't exactly have any other hobbies!" Akita says

  "Kingsman don't say that in front of Hana!" Hana says

  "Daddy, did you hurt people?" Kingsman looks down in her eyes as he says

  "Never, it was my evil twin who looks exactly like me" Hana says

  "Where is he now?" Kingsman says

  "I was able to catch and trap him somewhere he can't hurt anyone else!" Akemi says

  "I wonder what else you can't do? Can you write your name?" Kingsman is *shocked* as he says

  "Now that's just disrespectful, we may be warriors but we also have to be able to function normally in society! But fun fact about your husband, He can't whistle! At all!" Kaito is *shocked* as he says

  "Hey! What do I have to do with this?" Akita is *shocked* as she says

  "You can't whistle!? Wow, with how well you can sing I thought whistling would have been second hand!" Kingsman says

  "The two of you are passing a lot of judgment, especially you Akita. You can't snap your fingers!" Akita is *shocked* as she says

  "Kingsman! It's hard and I try, but the sound doesn't come out" Akemi *laughs* as she says

  "You can't snap? I'm finding out a lot about all of you!" Kaito says

  "I don't know why you're laughing, you can't tie your shoes!" Akemi is *shocked* as she says

  "Kaito!" Kingsman *laughs* as he says

  "You can't tie your shoes!? And you're talking about me not being able to draw, but that's something you learn as a kid. Even warriors had to learn how to tie their shoes as children!" Akemi says

  "I try to tie them, but they just fall apart" Kingsman says

  “All right, I'm getting tired of all this. I want to see Emi!” Kingsman puts the bed down as he walks out of Kaito's room and he goes to Emi’s room as he looks in her room and sees she's still sleeping in her crib as Kingsman walks up and whispers

  “You look just like your father…Ugly as hell!” Emi slowly wakes up as looks up at Kingsman and he picks her up out of the crib as he sits with her on the bed and he cradles her as Kaito, Akemi, Akita, and Hana all walk in the doorway and see Kingsman holding her and Kaito *smiles* as he says

  “I forgot you haven’t met your niece at all!” Akemi *smiles* as he says

  “Would you mind watching her? We haven’t been able to go out and get food in a long time” Kingsman says

  “Sure, I don’t have a problem with it” Akita *smiles* as she says

  “We can watch her together, all three of us” Kingsman says

  “No, you're going with them or you're going home. You haven’t relaxed or had alone time where you weren’t worrying, so either you're going to get food with them or you're going home and relaxing” Akita says

  “Kingsman i’m–” Kingsman says

  “Pick one!” Akita *sighs* as she says

  “I’ll bring you guys some food home” Kingsman says

  “Don’t worry about us I’ll make us some food. Little one, you staying with me?” Hana says

  “Yes, I want to stay with you Daddy!” Kingsman says

  “Good, now where’s…” Akemi is *confused* as she says

  “Emi's bottles?” Kingsman says

  “No, I want to give her a name that only I use. Just like I did for the Little one and The Boy” Akemi *chuckles* as she says

  “Oh, I thought you had just forgotten their names!” Kingsman says

  “Well…” Akita is *angry* as she says

  “Kingsman! You forgot their names!?” Kingsman *smiles* as he says

  “No! Of course not” Akita crosses her arms as she says

  “Then what are their names?” Kingsman says

  “I know their names…There–” Kaito *nervously smiles* as he says

  “We should get going, the restaurant is going to close soon!” Akemi says

  “Oh, yeah we should get going” Kaito and Akemi walk off as Akita says

  “Your not out of this yet, we’ll talk when you get home!” She follows behind them as they walk outside and Akita says

  “So what restaurant are we going to?” Kaito says

  “We’re going to Sukiyabashi Jiro” Akita says

  “Oh! I haven’t had sushi in a while” Akemi *smiles* as she says

  “Yes, they make the best sushi”

  At the same time Emi has started *crying* and Kingsman is *shocked* as he starts rocking her faster and says

  “Shhh, shut up, shhh, uhhh… Little one, go get me a bottle of milk from the fridge!” Hana runs downstairs and grabs a carton of milk out of the refrigerator as she runs back upstairs but as she comes back in the room she trips and falls spilling the milk as she hits her knee on the ground and she starts *crying* as Kingsman *groans in irritation* and picks up Hana with his other arm as he starts to rock them both but neither of them will stop *crying* and Kingsman sits them both down on the bed and runs downstairs as he comes back with a bowl of rice and he gives Hana a spoon full and she stops crying as she starts chewing and Kingsman gives Emi a grain of rice as she stop crying and Kingsman *breathes a sigh of relief* but Emi starts *coughing* and Kingsman starts to *panic* as he picks her up and flips her over as he starts to pat her on her back and she spits up the grain of rice as Kingsman lays on the floor *exhausted* with Emi laying on his chest and he closes his eyes as he thinks

  "How the hell did Akita make this look so easy? Maybe I'm not as qualified as I thought" Suddenly Hana says

  “I got you now daddy!” Kingsman opens his eyes as he sees Hana jumping down off of the bed down towards his chest and he tosses Emi into the air as he catches Hana and throws her as well and starts juggling the both of them as Hana and Emi are both *laughing* and Hana says

  “Don’t stop daddy!”

  At the same time Kenji and Riku are in the backyard talking and Kenji says

  “Riku, it’s time for me to go. I have to make sure nobody else gets hurt by that woman in the forest” Riku is *nervous* as he says

  “Like I said you have until sundown after that I’m telling Sensei where you went, but right now we don’t have to worry about Itsuki he’s passed out on the couch. So you still have time, so hurry up!” Kenji *smiles* as he says

  “Thanks for helping me Riku, I really appreciate it” Riku says

  “Stop talking like this is our last meeting and hurry up and get back” Kenji says

  “Of course!” Riku watches as Kenji walks down the hill and Riku thinks

  "Let's hope this really isn't our last meeting!"
