Chapter Twenty-Four
Out Of The Blue
While at school, Kenichi is walking through the halls. Aika happens to be walking towards him, and she is thinking about how she barged in the perverted trio's conversation about karaoke. Recent events also come to her mind about the rumors and the consequences that occurred as a result.
She gets a smirk, a really devious smirk. Her glasses give a little gleam. She gets near him and stops.
"Hello. Can I help you with something?"
She shifts her weight to one side.
"There isn't anything you can do for me, but the astronomy club thing again."
Realizing what she was going for, he just nods.
"Alright, I will get to them as soon as I can."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
In the room that he had met her before, he finds her once again. This time she is sitting up and looks over to him as he enters.
"What's up, Aika?"
"Issei and the others were thinking of going to Karaoke. I invited myself and Asia to go with them."
"You invited yourself?"
She gives a great big smile.
"Yes, I did. I also had another thought when I saw you earlier in the hallway."
"Oh, man. What was that?"
"It would be fun to watch them squirm if you came along, too."
"Are you kidding me? I don't think that they honestly want to be around me right now."
"Well, duh, that's the point."
He stares at her blankly for a moment as he thinks over this crazy idea of hers.
"Besides, If I came along, that would mean they would know that we have interacted. They might also think that you were the one behind the information that I was given."
She bites her thumb.
'Crap. Why didn't I think of that?' She thinks to herself.
Amidst her musing, Kenichi sighs.
"I've got an idea."
She looks up him from her musings. "What's that? Something juicy?"
He sighs.
"No. Nothing juicy. Geeze. If you want to hang out and go to karaoke sometime, then maybe we could do that sometime. I'm not keen on purposely being mean like that."
"I know, but it sounds like so much fun."
"No. My offer still stands though." Then he points a finger at her after thinking for a moment. "But no funny business though."
'You know, I don't think I've ever gotten an offer like that from a guy before. I hope he knows what he's in for.' On top of those thoughts, she inwardly laughs.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
After checking on the karate club, Kenichi made his way to the garden that the school has. He looks around inside of the small greenhouse that's about the size of a 1 car garage. Many plants are hanging from various hooks and there are some on tables. An herb section was also set up. Izumi seems to be the only one in there.
He sighs.
"Hey, Kenichi!" The once dark-haired girl says happily.
"Hey, Izumi. How's it going? It looks like things aren't much different here than it was at the other school, huh?"
She looks back and forth, but then she gives a smile.
"Yeah, but that is still fine. The main caretaker checks to make sure I am doing everything okay. It would be better if you could be here more, but I understand that you are doing other things. At least you're here though. It's much more fun with you around."
"I'm glad you're okay with things." He says to her.
"I'm just doing my best to take everything in in stride.
She nods and then gives him an inquisitive look.
'Should I ask him?'
"Hey, Kenichi?"
"Yeah."
"Can I go with you to your training later?"
Just as she says that, she remembers the time that she had visited Ryozanpaku and tried to get into training with him.
'This will be different.' She tells herself as confidently as possible.
"Sure, I don't see why not." He replies to her.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Evening, at the warehouse.
Kenichi is training with Shigure. He slams the large hammer at the floor. A loud bang echoes through the place after each hit. Kisara (whom was also there), Izumi, and Blackie all wince from the sound.
Shigure smacks his left shoulder with her sheathed sword.
"Shoulder . . . in . . . . wrong . . position." She tells him. Then she proceeds to walk over to him, and position his shoulder herself. She almost smirks while touching him. Nobody else seemed to notice this. "Like this." She adds.
"It's a good thing Serafall reinforced the floor with magic! I bet he would have dug a hole to Brazil!" Kisara shouts to the others as Kenichi slams the floor again.
"I don't care where he's digging to! Can we please go into another room?" Izumi shouts as well.
Blackie jumps up and onto the ground. The two girls follow him as he goes to a smaller room and shuts the door.
"That is soo much better." Izumi says in relief.
"Yeah. You said it. Hey, since we have this time, I've got a question for ya, Blackie." Kisara says.
"This had better not be dating advice." Replies the cat sarcastically.
"You give that?" Izumi says perkily in hope.
Blackie uses a paw to cover his eyes.
"What do you have to ask me, Kisara?"
Izumi pouts when she realizes her question gets overlooked.
Kisara crosses her arms and looks at the ancient cat seriously.
"You've been around, right?"
"Well, to put it simply, yes."
"Surely you have picked some tricks, or fighting skills, too."
"It's not exactly something I go about bragging or showing off, but yes."
"Then teach me."
Blackie's tail moves back and forth in amusement.
"Pray tell. Why should I?"
Kisara's face contorts slightly in frustration. "Can't you just say yes without me having to explain everything to ya?"
"No." Replies Blackie.
Kisara Sighs.
"Look. It's frustrating knowing that Kenichi has all this strength now, and he is still getting training from some of his masters." She blushes slightly in embarrassment and fidgets with her hat. I feel left behind. I mean, even Izumi has now gotten stronger. Not that you can fully tell though."
Izumi pouts.
"Hey!" The bespectacled girl tries to retort.
"Don't even try, little girl. It's the truth." Blackie tells Izumi.
Izumi pouts even more and almost cries.
"Why me, a cat?"
"Why the hell not? You're a cat. I love cats. Cats are also agile, but fierce."
"A cat-like fighting style could be incorporated into your current fighting style." Adds the cat.
"So, you'll do it?"
"Why not, this could be amusing, but I am not going to go easy on you just because you're human."
"That's fine with me. I wouldn't want it any other way."
Izumi gets a gleam in her eyes and raises her hand.
"What do you want? This isn't school. You don't have to raise your hand."
"Me, too. Me, too."
The two other beings in the room stare at her dumbfoundedly.
"What do you mean 'Me, too'?" Blackie asks.
"Please teach me, too."
"You do realize that I am a cat and not a dog, right?"
"Of course, I do. Silly. But I don't have any other options going for me right now."
She clasps her hands together in a praying fashion and says please over and over and over again.
"Just say yes to get her to stop that annoying racket." Says Kisara.
"Ugh. Fine. Alright already."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
After finishing training, everyone was about to leave the warehouse. Izumi looks at Shigure and pauses a moment.
'She is so strong and assertive. She the kind of woman that I'd like to be like. Hey! Maybe I should ask her for soma advice.'
"Hey, Kenichi and Kisara."
The two look back at Izumi.
"You two go ahead. I have something to ask Shigure."
After hearing the wolf-girl say that, Shigure points at herself and looks at her. Izumi hesitantly nods.
While Kisara and Kenichi are walking out, the former tosses a towel at Kenichi.
"You're sweaty. I ain't getting close to ya 'til you wipe it off."
The two walk out while bickering back and forth. Blackie hangs back to listen to the two girls.
Izumi quickly turns to the weapons master and takes a big gulp.
"What's your advice for getting the man of your dreams? I mean . . . . um . . . what do you do when you know who you want, and you want to be with him really badly?"
Shigure thinks for a moment and then gives Izumi a logical response.
"Grab him . . . . . . and take . . . . him." While saying this, Shigure makes a grabbing motion.
"That's it?" She asks and Shigure nods in response.
The wolf-girl turns around and walks away while scratching her head. Shigure sighs and unknowingly whispers Kenichi's name with her eyes closed.
"Hypocrite."
She instantly turns around to see Blackie behind her and wagging his tail.
"What . . . do you mean?"
"You love him, too. I know it. I can smell it all over you when I catch you staring at him and thinking about him."
In response, she tries to smell herself.
"You better follow your own advice. And you better do it quick before she realizes what you meant by taking him. That's your freebee from me."With that, he rushes out the door after his master.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
While saying goodbye to Kisara, Izumi is in her own thoughts.
'Grab him and take him.' She makes the grabbing motion. 'Take him where?'
Blackie could tell that she was thinking about the conversation with Shigure. He covers his eyes with his paws.
'She must still not get it. I really don't want to tell her anything, but I don't know how long I can watch this.' He frustratingly thinks to himself.
Kenichi returns.
"Hey, Izumi, how about we run home?"
She points at herself. "Me, run?"
"Yeah."
"It might do you some good, kid." Blackie adds.
Then she nods with conviction and they all start running.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Not long after that.
Kenichi is jogging home while carrying Izumi on his back. Tears are streaming down her face.
"It'll be okay, Izumi. You've just got to get more training like this and you'll be running like me in no time."
"Don't coddle her and give her delusions. You do recall what you've had to go through to get to this point, right?"
He nervously smiles.
"Maybe we should leave her with that Akisame guy." Blackie saying this triggers Kenichi's memories of running while dragging Akisame on a tire while holding a whip.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
That night, Sona's room.
Tsubaki knocks on Sona's door, and with a 'come in' from within, Tsubaki opens the door. She abruptly stops and blinks a few times at the sight before her. In front of her, is Kenichi sitting on Sona's bed. But that is not what was really startling her. What is really startling her is the fact that Sona is sitting on his lap while reading a book. Kenichi has his arms wrapped around her waist.
Sona adjusts her glasses and a slight gleam comes from them as she does so.
"How can I help you?" Asks Sona.
Tsubaki also adjusts her glasses.
"I don't remember what I was going to ask you now. I am more interested in you sitting on Kenichi's lap."
"Is this not okay? I thought that I was doing this the right way." Responds Sona.
"I told she was fine. Not that I am an expert."
"I read SOMEWHERE that sitting on your partner's lap is very inducive for a healthy relationship."
"Is it working? Are you enjoying yourself?"
"This does not serve any actual beneficial function for the enhancement of doing an activity such as this, but this is actually rather pleasant for some reason."
"Then I suppose that it is serving its purpose, then." Notes Tsubaki.
"Agreed." Replies Sona.
"This was your idea, I take it?" Tsubaki asks Sona.
"Yes."
"You could have told me that's what you wanted me to do and it might have been a lot simpler." Kenichi adds.
Sona looks to him. "Are you saying that you are not enjoying this?"
"I am not saying that." He replies while putting a hand to his face. "You could have just asked to sit on my lap instead of telling me to sit and then just plopping down on me."
"So, you are enjoying this, too?"
He sighs. "Yes. I find it rather pleasant as well."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The next day, after school. Sona, Tsubaki, and Izumi drove off ahead while Kenichi decided to jog home. While jogging and taking a longer route home. He gets an odd feeling in his gut. He stops and looks around to find Amaris sitting on a bench.
'She seems deep in thought.' He thinks to himself as he slowly walks toward her.
He gets close but she is staring at the ground while lost in her thoughts.
"Hey there, Amaris."
She yelps and looks up at him in a panic.
"Hey. Hey. Calm down. It's only me."
She breathes in and out a few times. Her chest heaves with each breath.
"You okay? Did you not notice me coming?"
"I honestly didn't. Just a little troubled."
"You must be, to not even notice me. Wanna talk about it?"
"Sorry. I can't. At least not with you."
He scratches his head. "Want to walk it off?"
She gives him a slightly more pleasant look.
"You mean with you."
"Yeah."
She quickly gets up and links her arm around his and leans into him. Her right breast smashes into his arm. Blackie follows along while wagging his tail amusingly.
After a few minutes of walking, she finally opens up a little.
"Kenichi, why do so many like to cause trouble?"
"Since I don't know what's troubling you, I can't exactly answer you very well. But, I think that some people like to cause trouble just because they don't know how to not have trouble. I like peace, but trouble sometimes like to follow me I am starting to think."
They travel along and find a okonomiyaki stand.
"Want something to eat?" He asks.
"I guess I have enough time to do that."
They make an order.
"Kenichi, can I ask you something?"
"Sure."
"If a war broke out, would you try to kill me?"
"That's a pretty out of the blue question. I am not into killing. I'm sure others that are like me have killed. I hope I never cross that line."
"What if I was told to kill you to defend my kind? I don't know if I could go against my boss like that. I follow my orders."
He starts to sweat a little nervously over the topic, but he thinks it over.
"Then I would just have to beat you to a point where you can't attack me anymore. Then you wouldn't be going against your orders, right?"
"I like you, Kenichi. I hope we never have to go against each other. I like this peace that we have between us." Then she whispers into his ear. "I never thought that I would feel anything for devils, but you have changed my mind." She gives him a little peck on the cheek.
They both blush a little.

Blackie's Training With The Girls
In the warehouse.
Blackie sits in front of both Kisara and Izumi. They both have determined looks on their faces. Kenichi was nearby, but practicing some of his own moves. Blackie's tale wags a few times.
"All right, you two. Are you sure that you ready to do this?"
After asking this, Kisara gives an affirmative nod. Izumi is noticeably distracted and watching Kenichi. The cat sighs.
"Izumiiiiiiii." Blackie says to get her attention and with a droll tone.
"Eep." Comes out of her and then she regains her focus.
"Are you ready for this?" He asks again.
She nods.
He was about to say something more, but then he stops and smiles. 'This could be fun', he thinks to himself.
"Hey, Kenichi!" He shouts over.
Kenichi stops what he is doing and looks over to his familiar.
"Yeah, what's up Blackie?"
"Do me a favor and go stand over there. I am going to need you for something." While he says this, he paws at a direction behind the girls where a wooden crate is at.
Kenichi scratches his head, but then he does as Blackie asks.
"Now then, we are going to start with some of the basic poses. Kenichi, I am going to ask you to pay attention closely to them."
Kenichi scratches his head. "All right."
"I want you two to get down on all fours and mimic me."
As he instructs, they get down on all fours and he stretches his paws forward, and arches his back, and his butt up in the air. It is exactly performed as when a cat does a stretch after waking up from a nap, or form sitting for a long time. The two girls do as they were told and mimic him.
"Make sure you keep those butts up in the air." He tells them.
As they do this, he stands up and walks to the side and nods as he looks at the arches of their backs.
"Keep like that." He adds, and then walks over to Kenichi and stands next to them.
Not realizing what he is doing, Kenichi stares at their asses.
"Now, this is very important, wave your butts back and forth."
Kisara and Izumi start doing so without hesitation. Blackie looks up at his master and smirks.
"Do you approve?"
Kenichi stops and starts to blush as he realizes what Blackie was doing. He looks back and forth between Blackie and their butts. Blackie playfully looks up at him and wags his tail back and forth in amusement.
Kisara looks back and catches Kenichi staring at her butt. She begins to blush as well in embarrassment, but then she also starts to fill with anger. Izumi notices the commotion and looks back as well to also find him staring. Her face becomes many shades of red and steam nearly comes out of her ears. She isn't sure weather to stop or keep going.
"BLACKIEEEEEEEEEEE!" Shouts Kisara.
"Oh, crap." Blackie says as he looks at Kisara. "Well, master, I think that's my cue."
He takes off running with Kisara in tow.

While typing the conversation between Izumi and Shigure, I was reminded of the conversation between Zula and the princess in the movie 'Conan The Destroyer' With Arnold Schwarzenegger. If you have not watched the movie, then you can look up the scene on youtube.
