Chapter 008

  Family

  Dai rushes Riku and tries to punch him but Riku leans out of the way as he says

  "Wow, you've gotten slower!" Dai gets *angry* as he says

  "What!" Dai starts quickly swinging at Riku but Riku is dodging all of Dai’s punch until Dai jumps back and blast a wave of fire towards Riku but Riku jumps back into the trees and he quickly dashes through the trees as Dai rushes into the trees and starts throwing giant fireballs at Riku as he's dashing between the trees and Riku looks back at Dai as Dai charges another giant fireball and Riku says

  "I don't want to hurt you, but you're making it very hard!" Dai *laughs* as he says

  "I'm not going to be the one getting hurt!" Riku turns around as Dai throws the giant fireball towards him but Riku blows out a giant gust of wind making it hit Dai in the face and Dai slams into the ground as he's *holding his eyes in pain* and Dai slowly stands up as he wipes his eyes and he notices the forest around him is quiet and Dai clenches his fist as he says

  “Come out Riku, or I'll scorch this entire forest!” Riku slowly walks out from behind a tree and Dai throws a fireball at him but the fireball stops in the air as Riku puts wind around his hands and Riku points his hand at Dai and Dai is blown back with an extremely powerful wind blast sending him flying as he crashes through multiple trees and slams into the ground and Dai slowly stands up as he *laughs* and dust himself off as he says

  “You bastard!” Dai's hands erupt in flames as he rushes Riku and tries hitting Riku but Riku's able to dodge all of his punches until Riku grabs both of Dai’s hands and puts wind around both his hands putting out Dai’s fire as he says

  “Stop Dai, you can’t win!” Dai *smiles* as he says

  “Wanna bet!” Dai blasts Riku in the chest with a wave of fire from his mouth and Riku's sent flying back and he slams extremely hard into the ground as he *holds his chest in pain* and the wind around Dai's hands disappears as Dai covers one of his hands in fire and he slowly walks towards Riku as he says

  "I'll make this quick, so you can think about who's the strongest as you're laying on your bed unable to move!" Riku slowly stands up as Dai stops in front of him and Riku takes a step back but Dai grabs his shoulder as he punches Riku in the stomach and Riku *screams in pain* as he falls to the ground *convulsing in pain* and Dai looks down at Riku and says

  "We could have had a good fight, but you aren't ready to face me yet! Come find me when you get stronger!" Dai turns around as he walks away from Riku

  At the same time Itsuki and Kenji are walks through the forest together until they come into a clearing and they both walk in different directions until they turn around and look at each other as Kenji *smiles* and says

  “You asked for this Itsuki, don't forget that. If you get hurt, that's on you!” Itsuki *smiles* as he says

  “You think I’ll lose too you, not a chance!” Itsuki covers his hand in lightning as Kenji covers his with ice and Itsuki rushes Kenji but Kenji covers the ground in ice making Itsuki slip and fall onto his back as Kenji grabs his leg and throws him in the air and Kenji stomps on the ground as a pillar of ice shoots out of the ground hitting Itsuki in the stomach as the ice wraps around his chest keeping him attached to the pillar and Kenji *laughs* as he runs up the side of the pillar and punches Itsuki in the face pushing off of the pillar as Kenji grabs him by the face and turns around as he slams Itsuki through the pillar and Kenji *smiles* as he slams Itsuki into the ground and Kenji stands over Itsuki as he says

  "Done already? Honestly I expected a little bit more effort!" Kenji puts his foot on Itsuki's chest as he puts his hands into the air and all of the shatter pieces of the ice pillar liquefy as they flow over to Itsuki and wraps around him and trapping him in the ice and Kenji removes the ice from Itsuki's head as he *smiles* and says

  “Guess I always was our fathers strongest child!” Itsuki's eyes slowly opens as he says

  “Not...Yet!” Itsuki's lightning surge across his body but it only cracks the ice and Kenji *laughs* as he says

  “That’s it?” Itsuki's eyes surge with lightning as he *smiles* and suddenly Itsuki's lightning surges with such force it explodes throwing Kenji back and Itsuki slowly stands up as he says

  “Now, let’s try this again!” Kenji is slight covered in Itsuki lightning as he slowly stands up and Itsuki rushes Kenji and Kenji tries to blast Itsuki with his ice but Itsuki grabs Kenji's wrist and force it upwards as he kicks Kenji in the chest sending him flying into a tree and Itsuki rushes Kenji and quickly starts punching Kenji all over and Kenji tries to punch Itsuki but his hand is so slow that Itsuki slaps it away with ease as he continues punching Kenji all over and Kenji is *shocked* as he thinks

  "Why is my body so slow!?" Kenji notices Itsuki's hands are covered in lightning and Kenji thinks

  "You-" Itsuki kicks Kenji in the stomach with such force Kenji's sent flying through the tree

  At the same time Riku is still laying on the ground as he *holding his stomach in pain* and he slowly starts to stand up as he says

  “Da-” Riku drops to one knee as he thinks

  “I don't think my body can take another punch, he’s a lot stronger and faster than I thought. But I have an idea, let’s hope it works” Riku covers his chest in his wind creating an armor as he creates wind gauntlets and Riku stands up as he rushes Dai and tries to punch Dai as Dai's still walking away but Dai turns around as they clash fist and Dai *laughs* as he says

  “I knew it, I knew you weren't that weak! I knew you had the heart of a true warrior" Riku says

  “Don’t ever turn your back in a fight!” Dai *smiles* as he says

  "I know you truly didn't intend on striking me from behind, you would have stopped at the last second if I didn't turn around!" Riku uses his wind to push Dai’s arms up and Riku blast Dai in the stomach with his wind and it knocks the air out of Dai as he slams into a tree and Dai holds his chest as he cannot breathe and he punches his chest continuously until he starts *coughing extremely hard* and he slowly looks towards Riku as he thinks

  “What the hell was that?... Is he as strong as me? No, no that's impossible” Dai slowly gets back to his feet as he thinks

  “He just got lucky!” Dai rushes Riku as he punches him in the chest but Dai's fist bounces off of Riku's armor as Riku looks at Dai and says

  “That’s it!” Dai is *shocked* as he gets *angry* and starts relentlessly punching Riku in his chest but Dai's fist continuously bounce off Riku's armor as Riku *laughs* and says

  “Wow, you aren’t really that strong are you? After all that talk, and this is your absolute best!? Sad” Dai *screams in anger* and erupts into a ball of fire as everything around him erupts into flames from Dai's presence and Riku looks around at the flames as he is *shocked* and thinks

  "Dai's going to-" Dai uppercuts Riku launching him into the air and Dai jumps into the air above him as he punches Riku in his back sending him slamming into the ground and Dai stands in the air as he puts both of his hands into the air and creates a enormous fireball and Riku is *shocked* as he thinks

  "Has he lost his mind!? He's going to kill me!" Dai throws the enormous fireball down towards Riku as everything around Riku starts burning away but Riku puts both of his hand in the air and he *screams in pain* as his wind presses against the enormous fireball stopping it in place and Riku screams as he slowly presses both of his hands together compressing the enormous fireball down until Dai appears next to the extremely small fireball and he grabs it as it surges with fire covering his entire hand and Dai flies down towards Riku as he tries to punch him but Riku jumps back as Dai punches the ground and his fire surges out as it scorch the area around him and Dai slowly looks up at Riku as he rushes towards him but Riku blast Dai back with his wind and Dai slams his feet into the ground as he's being pushed back and Riku puts his hand into the air as Dai's launched extremely high into the air and Riku floats up using his wind as he calms his breathing and the winds starts to pick up as he opens his hands reforming his gauntlets around them but his winds picks up all of Dai's flames all over the forest and infuses them with Riku's gauntlets but suddenly a loud roar comes from the clouds above Riku and Riku looks up as all the clouds burn away and the fire around Dai has surged larger as Dai is looking down towards Riku and they lock eyes as they rush each other

  At the same time Kenji slowly stands up as he looks towards Itsuki through the trees and thinks

  “Well Itsuki, I guess you’re stronger than you look” Itsuki looks into the trees as he says

  “I know you're not done yet, come out Kenji!” Suddenly a wave of ice flies out of the trees and Itsuki slides back but Itsuki bumps into someone as Kenji puts Itsuki in a headlock and Itsuki is *shocked* as he says

  "When did you!?" Kenji *smiles* as he says

  “Got you!” Kenji's starts surging with ice as he starts freezing Itsuki and Itsuki tries to pull Kenji's arm away as he says

  “Damn it, let go of me!” Itsuki's lightning surges wrapping them both in lightning but Kenji doesn't let go as he *screams in pain* and both of them violently surge with there elements as they both *scream in pain* and Itsuki is almost fully frozen but Kenji's body gives out as he falls onto his back and the ice around Itsuki shatters as Itsuki also falls to the ground and Itsuki slowly looks over at Kenji as he slowly stands up and grabs Kenji by the neck pulling him off of the ground as he punches him in the face making Kenji stumble back and Kenji tries to punch Itsuki but Itsuki blocks it as he hits Kenji in the chest with a barrage of punches until Kenji catches his wrist a punch Itsuki in the stomach but Kenji falls backwards onto the ground and Itsuki *holds his stomach in pain* as he *chuckles* and says

  “I should have expected you to go out fighting, but were done now" Itsuki turns around as he turns around and slowly walks away

  At the same time Riku and Dai are flying towards each other as they clash fist with so much force in combination with heat it starts raining and they continue clashing fist until Riku dodges Dai's punch as he uses his wind to smoother Dai's fire around him and Dai is *shocked* as he says

  “What the hell are you doing!?” Riku says

  “I told you, you can’t win!” Suddenly Riku’s wind starts to pull in all of Dai's flames as Riku pushes through Dai’s fist and Riku punches him in the stomach as he grabs Dai by his face and says

  “I'm sorry, Dai!” Riku throws Dai back sending him smashing into the ground and Riku slowly flies down as he walks towards Dai and he reaches for Dai but Riku falls to the ground and he *screams in pain* as the wind and fire become too much for him to handle and Riku's wind starts cutting and slashing Riku all over his body as Dai's fire burns him all over and Dai slowly looks up at him as he says

  “We're not done yet!” Dai rushes Riku as he's still *screaming in pain* and Dai puts his hand on the wind and flames surrounding Riku and Dai absorbs his fire pulling the fire off of Riku as he puts it all into his hand and Dai punches through the ball of wind around Riku shattering it as he punches Riku in the stomach launching him into a tree knocking him out and Dai drops down to one knee as he thinks

  "Riku...May actually be a lot stronger than I thought!" Dai slowly gets to his feet as he walks back towards Kingsman's house

  At the same time Kenji is layed on the ground as the rain starts to fall but as it touches Kenji’s skin it freezes and Kenji's body starts to twitch the more the rain falls on his skin until Kenji opens his eyes and slowly stands up as Itsuki stops walking and turns around as he *smiles* at Kenji and Itsuki charges lightning in his hand summoning the sword Raijin gave him as it surges with his blue lightning and Itsuki says

  “So this is our final stand, huh?” Kenji says

  “Right here, right now!” Kenji touches the ground freezing it as a giant ice dragon shoots out of the ground and flies towards Itsuki as Itsuki rushes towards Kenji and the ice dragon tries to bite Itsuki but Itsuki slices the head off of the ice dragon as he jumps on the back of the dragon and he continues running towards Kenji but suddenly the ice on the back of the dragon morphs into smaller dragon head that try and bite Itsuki but Itsuki's able to dodge and slash the ice dragon heads until he jumps off of the back dragon and into the air as he looks at Kenji but Kenji *smiles* as another dragon shoot out of the ice underneath him and flies towards Itsuki but Itsuki's sword surges with light and he throws his sword towards the dragon splitting it in half as it flies towards Kenji but Kenji's able to lean out of the way as the sword cuts his check and stabs into the ground behind him and Itsuki flies down towards Kenji as Kenji creates an ice dome around him and Kenji thinks

  "That should-" Suddenly the ice dome shatters and Kenji is *shocked* and he sees Itsuki surging with his lighting as Itsuki flies towards him and tries to kick Kenji as Kenji puts his hand up and creates a ball of ice as Itsuki kicks it and his lightning surges across it causing it to explode kicking up large amounts of dirt and smoke but as it clears Itsuki is frozen in the air and Kenji is laying on the ground as Kenji slowly stumbles to his feet and he says

  “I win!” Kenji stops on the ground as an ice pillar shoots up underneath him launching him through the air until he lands on the edge of the forest as he looks over and notices Dai walking out of the trees and Kenji thinks

  “So you won your fight as well Dai, good job!” Dai's looking forward as he thinks

  “How could I almost lose to him!?” They both walk over back into the backyard as they see Kingsman and Hana still sitting on top of the roof and Kingsman looks down at them as he says

  “Wow, what an incredible fight! You two are amazing, good job on your victories” Kingsman drops down off of the roof with Hana on his shoulder as he sits Hana on the ground and Hana looks at Kenji as she *smiles* and says

  “Good job, big brother!” She hugs him but Kenji *winches in pain* as Hana is *shocked* and steps back as she says

  “Oh no, big brother i'm sorry i didn't mea–” Kenji puts his hand on Hana head as he *smiles* and says

  “Im ok, I just need to sit down” Kingsman says

  “Good job, but before you both go and sit down there’s still one more thing you both have to do” Dai says

  “What else is there Sensei?” Kingsman says

  “You two have too face each other now, I told you all it was a free for all! Which means there’s only one winner, not two” Kenji says

  “But father, were both exhausted” Dai takes two steps back as fire surges across his hand and Dai *clutches his hand in pain* as he puts out the fire and he takes a step towards Kenji but Dai falls forward as Kingsman catches him and Dai *weakly* says

  “I'm fine Sensei, I just need to catch my breath” Kingsman *chuckles* as he says

  “Love your dedication Dai, you always are so determined to be the strongest” Kingsman pushes Dai back as Kingsman says

  "Little one!" Hana punches Dai in the stomach and Dai *screams in pain* as he passes out and falls backwards but Kingsman grabs Dai by his shirt stopping him from falling back as he pushes him over to Kenji and looks at Kenji as he says

  “Take him into the living room, and you stay there as well. I need to go get Itsuki and Riku, little one can you go and ask your mother if you two can make some food?" Hana gets *excited* as she says

  “Ok” Hana rushes into the house as Kenji looks at Kingsman and says

  “Ok, but you don't want my help?” Kingsman says

  “I've been pushing all of you too hard, I have to let you all regain your strength before all of your big journeys with Gyomei” Kenji says

  “What are we supposed to do when we get there?” Kingsman says

  “When your there we’ll need all of you to do recon, to see what's going on in that village but no matter what happens do not be caught or captured by them! Since they don’t know you, they will kill you on sight! You could observe from either inside of the village which is more dangerous but allows you too obtain better information. Or you all could observe them from a distance, but if you feel like you can stop the army there building then you my permission to do it!" Kenji says

  This story has been stolen from Royal Road. If you read it on Amazon, please report it

  “I know Gyomei's strong, but why can’t you take us?” Kingsman says

  “Because there's a peace treaty in effect and if me or Kaito enter there region it will be seen as an invasion and then other regions will be able to attack us with no consequences, but if anything happens to any of you send somebody back too tell us and I'll be there. No matter what!” Kenji says

  “Ok father, if anything happens we'll send someone back to get you. I promise!” Kenji walks into the house holding Dai up on his shoulder as Kingsman jumps into the air and lands in a clearing as he walks into the trees and sees Riku knocked out on a tree and Kingsman grabs him by his shirt as he lifts him up and puts him on his shoulder as he says

  “What did I tell you? Two elements will damage your body badly, but that fact that you were able too even hold it for a second is impressive nonetheless!” Kingsman walks out of the trees as he jumps baclk into the air and lands down in another clearing as he sees Itsuki still frozen in the air and Kingsman walks up and flicks the ice wrapped around Itsuki as it shatters and Itsuki falls out of the air but Kingsman catches him and tosses him on his shoulder as he says

  “As for you Itsuki, you've shocked me with your amazing showing of power! But where did you get that sword from!? It's extremely powerful, I might have to take that from you. Truly I can say I'm a bit jealous of your light blue lightning blade, even with my mastery of lightning I don't think I'd be able to make a sustainable and strong weapon that constantly grows with me” Kingsman jumps into the air as he lands back in his backyard and he walks into the house as he walks into the living room and sits Itsuki and Riku on the couch next to Dai and Kenji as Kingsman says

  “Good training session for the morning, now we–'' Suddenly someone knocks on the front door and Kingsman walks over and opens it as he sees Kaito and Kingsman says

  “Kaito, what are you doing here?” Kaito says

  “I just wanted to stop by and talk to everyone, and I also wanted to see how everyone's doing?” Kingsman says

  “Come in then” Kaito walks into the house as he walks into the living room and sees everyone tired and sitting on the couch as Kaito *smiles* and says

  “Well I can see all of you just got done with a very hard training session” Kenji slowly gets up and hugs Kaito as he says

  “Uncle Kaito!" Dai slowly looks up as he says

  “Who the hell are you!?” Kaito says

  “Oh I'm sorry, My name is Kaito Katsuro. I am the Leader of the Tohoku Region and I live here in the Taketomi village, and you are?” Dai slowly gets to his feet as he steps up to Kaito and says

  “Dai Mikenaka, future Region Leader!” Kaito *laughs* as he says

  “Is that so? You're going to lead this region?” Itsuki slowly lifts his head and looks at Kingsman,Kaito and Kenji as he thinks

  “You have one of the strongest warriors in the world as a father and the leader of the region as an uncle, you lucky bastard!” Akita voice from the kitchen says

  “Kingsman, what would you like too have?” Kingsman says

  “I don’t know, ask our guest” Akita says

  “What guess?” Kingsman says

  "Come find out" Akita and Hana walks into the living room as she see Kaito and Akita says

  “Oh my gosh, hi Kaito i'm sorry I wasn’t able to see you when we came to the village. Is Akemi with you?” Kaito says

  “That’s fine, and no Akemi isn’t here she’s at home with Emi. I just came up here to see everybody is here safe and healthy” Kaito looks back at everyone on the couch and says

  “Mostly!” Hana *smiles* as she says

  "Hi Uncle Kaito!" Kaito *smiles* as he says

  "Hi Little Hana, how are you?" Hana says

  "Good, me and Daddy watched everyone fight and they were going boom! But then I punched Dai and knocked him out" Kaito *chuckles* as he looks at Dai and says

  "Did you! That sounds very exciting, I'm sorry I missed it" Dai looks at Hana but Kingsman pokes Dai in the chest as he falls back onto the couch and Akita looks at the kids on the couch as she says

  “Is anyone hungry?” Itsuki says

  “Yes ma’am” Akita says

  “Alright! Kaito, what would you like?” Kaito says

  “Oh, I don't want to be a bother. I'll just take whatever you want to make” Akita says

  “Ok then, Kingsman would you like anything?” Kingsman says

  “It’s on you, whatever you want to make is one hundred percent fine with me” Akita says

  “Ok then I'll make something very special for everybody” Akita and Hana walks out of the living room as Kaito looks at Kingsman and says

  “Kingsman, can we talk?” Kingsman says

  “Sure, outside!” Kingsman and Kaito walk through the kitchen as he opens the back door and looks at Akita as he says

  “We'll be back in a minute, Kit” Akita turns around as she says

  “Where are you going?” Kingsman says

  “We just need to talk for a minute” Akita says

  "Ok, the food will be ready shortly!" Kingsman says

  "Alright" Kaito walks out of the door as Kingsman closes the door behind them and Kaito says

  “I need you too promise me something Kingsman” Kingsman says

  “Promise you what?” Kaito says

  “We got a bit more insight on what's happening in the Fujiwara Region, the reason they killed their father and took over the village to be exact. They killed him as a sacrifice to the “God” or possibly multiple gods, but as of now we only have one confirmed "God". There may be more of them, but as of now they have made statues for their “God” because the “God” comes down and takes a selective few who are pure and pray in front of the statue. They plot on making everyone submit to their “God's” power! They will invade every region, but we’ve found out why two of the other region leaders won’t respond, its because they have made secret alliance pact with them because of how many resources the Fujiwara Region holds! That's why the other leaders still won’t respond to taking any action against the Fujiwara region or remove them from the treaty because they hold the most resources and they know when they start the invades, there regions will be just fine. We need your team in there in two weeks, but you can’t go at all! Under any circumstances!” Kingsman says

  “How do we even have this information in the first place?” Kaito says

  “Well after our first situation with the Shimadzu region and the war we almost had, I placed spies in every region. That breaks the rules of the peace treaty so we can’t tell any other region what we know or how we know it” Kingsman *laughs* as he says

  “Very smart, I'm glad to see you taking after me with precaution. But Kaito you’ve just told me there sacrificing people too a “God” and are building up there army's for an invasion, and you still want me too send my team in there and I can’t “under any circumstances step foot in that region” at all" Kaito *sighs* as he says

  “Kingsman, I understand you–” Kingsman says

  “Fine, no matter what I won’t step foot in there region!” Kaito is *shocked* as he says

  “Oh ok...I thought you would put up a fight about it, but I'm glad we–” Suddenly Kingsman punches Kaito in the face pushing him back into a tree and Kingsman says

  “Oh don’t worry I'm gonna put up a fight, it's just going to be physical!” Kingsman walks towards Kaito as the backdoor opens up and Riku,Dai,Kenji,and Itsuki all come outside as they see Kingsman walking towards Kaito and Kingsman tries to punch Kaito but Kaito dodges making Kingsman punch the tree breaking it in half and Kingsman catches the tree as he turns and hit Kaito with it but Kaito's blocks it breaking the tree in half once again as he slides back and Kaito *smiles* as he rushes Kingsman and tries too hit him but Kingsman dodges every punch until Kingsman catches both his hands and Kaito says

  “This isn’t like last time, I won’t lose!” Kingsman says

  “We’ll see about that!” Kaito tries to kick Kingsman but Kingsman’s able to block all his kicks with his legs until Kingsman throws Kaito's hands in the air and quickly hits him in the stomach three times and uppercuts him as he grabs Kaito’s shoulders and slams him into a tree breaking it as it pins Kaito down and Kingsman steps back as he *laughs* at Kaito until Kaito slams his elbow into the tree splitting it in half as he punches his hand into the middle of the tree logs and uses them like gauntlets as he rushes Kingsman and they start clashing fist until Kingsman clashes both fist with Kaito but as he punches the logs Kaito pulls his hands out surprising Kingsman by the weight of the logs pulling his hands down and Kaito crouches down to punch Kingsman but Kingsman goes into a hand stand as he pushes himself over Kaito back and backhands Kaito with the log shattering it as it sends Kaito flying back and Kaito able to stop himself but Kingsman tosses the other log at Kaito's feet as he says

  “This battle is over, you lose again!” Kaito stomps breaking the log in half as he rushes Kingsman and Kingsman turns around as suddenly Kaito's hit by a large shockwave launching him back into the trees as Tadashi walks up next to Kingsman and Kaito slowly gets to his feet as he walks out of the treeline and looks into Tadashi's eyes as Kingsman still has his back turned to him and Kaito rushes towards Kingsman but Kingsman *smiles* as he looks at Tadashi and says.

  “No!” Kingsman turns around as him and Kaito both swing towards each other faces as suddenly a voice says

  "Food's ready!" Both of their fist stop inches from each other's faces as Kingsman looks at Akita in the doorway and says

  "We're coming!" Kingsman and Kaito both walk into the house as they sit down and Akita sits a plate in front of Kingsman as Hana sits a plate in front of Kaito and Kenji,Dai,Riku and Itsuki all walk into the house as everyone sits down and Dai looks at Kingsman and Kaito in *confusion* as he says

  “How the hell do you two go from battling like you want to kill each other to being friends again!?” Kaito *laughs* as he says

  “We're brothers, sometimes we have to make sure the other one isn’t going soft!” Dai is *shocked* as he says

  “What!? How are you too brothers, you look nothing alike!” Kingsman *chuckles* as he says

  “That's not what he means, we’re not blood related but he’s always had my back and I’ve always had his. I've saved him and he’s saved me, I’ve protected him and he’s protected me! Blood doesn’t always make you family, it’s what they’ve done for you in your time of need. Me and Kaito have known each other for years I’ve tried to kill him and he’s tried to kill me, but when the war ended we realized were a lot alike! So we built the villages together and took full control of the region when both of our fathers died” Itsuki says

  “Wait…If you two built the villages together that means-” Riku is *shocked* and says

  “There the Founders of the entire region!” Kingsman says

  “Correct!” Kenji says

  “Wait Dad, if your a founder of the entire region why don't you become a leader of one of the other villages?” Kingsman says

  “Because in a bad situation I wouldn’t be able to think rationally, i’d go back too what I know gets results! But for me, what gets the result the fastest causes the most suffering” Akita is *shocked* as she looks at Kingsman and says

  “Kingsman!” Kingsman says

  “So that’s why I leave all the hard decisions to the compassionate, level headed leader we have now and whoever he trusts to lead the other villages” Itsuki says

  “Wow this is incredible, wait Lord Kaito will you be training us as well?” Kaito says

  “Well I don't know, since you have an amazing teacher right here. Why would you need me?” Riku says

  “To be trained by the both of you will give us experience with a different fighting style and different techniques making us all around stronger warriors” Dai says

  “I just wanna see how much I need to train to beat both of you!” Itsuki says

  “It would be good for us to get more training and give us experience fighting two powerful opponents at once” Kaito looks at Kingsman as he says

  “What do you think?” Kingsman says

  “It’s up to you, you did say they had two weeks to get stronger before they go on their mission” Akita is *confused* as she says

  “What mission?” Kingsman is *stunned* as he says

  “Nothing baby, nothing at all. Right Kaito?” Kaito *nervously* says

  “Y-Yeah nothing at all, Akita!” Akita stares at Kingsman as she says

  “Don’t lie to me, what mission are they supposed to be on!?” Kingsman *nervously chuckles* as he says

  “Akita, you know I wouldn’t lie to you” Akita looks at the kids as she says

  “Hey you guys, would you mind taking your food upstairs and eating in your rooms?” Kingsman looks at them as he says

  "You don't have too! You could stay here with me!" Kenji *chuckles* as he says

  "I'm not dying with you, have a good night uncle Kaito" Everyone grabs there food and starts walking upstairs as Kingsman says

  "You'd all abandon me this quickly, I promise I'll remember this!" Kingsman stands up as he grabs Kaito's shoulder and says

  "Listen baby I would continue our conversation, but Kaito has a lot of paperwork that needs to be done and I need to help him!" Kingsman pulls Kaito to his feet as Kaito says

  “Yes, those stacks of papers are even taller than us. I really do need this done by the morning, so we'll need to go quickly" Akita steps towards them and they both quickly move back as there backs are pressed against the backdoor and Akita slowly walks towards them as she says

  “Kingsman, would you look me in my eyes and tell me the truth?” Akita stops in front of him as Kingsman's won't look her in the eyes and she grabs the sides of his face and pulls his head down to look her in the eyes and she says

  “You wouldn’t lie to me would you?” Kingsman keeps trying to turn his head away but Akita keeps his head straight and he looks in her eyes as he says

  “Of course not!” Akita says

  “What's the kids mission then?” Kingsman says

  “It's…It's…A spider” Kingsman points behind her and she gets *scared* as she turns around and is *panicked* as she says

  “Where!?” Kingsman and Kaito both open the backdoor as they quickly run out of the house and Akita turns around as she notices there gone and she says

  “Two can play that game then” Akita walks over too the counter as she grabs a knife and she flips it into the air as she closes her eyes but nothing happens as she turns around and opens her eyes as Kingsman is standing in front of her with the knife in his hand and he says

  “That's not fair!” Akita says

  “Neither was saying there was a spider, you know I hate bugs” Kingsman says

  “And you know I hate when you get hurt!” Akita says

  “Can you please tell me what their mission is?” Kingsman *sighs* as he says

  “Fine, but you have to promise to listen and not cry” Akita says

  “Fine, just please tell me” Akita sits down at the table as Kingsman walks over and closes the back door as he sits down next to Akita and says

  “The kids are going to go to the Fujiwara Region with Gyomei and two others” Akita is *shocked* as she says

  “What!?” Kingsman says

  “I understand your concern, but they are building an army and planning on invading every region and killing everyone from the opposite regions as sacrifices! But the only reason we have this information is because we had a spy in there main villages, which breaks a rule of the peace treaty so we can’t tell any other regions or we will have too explain how we know this and that will allow us too be invaded by the other regions. So our only hope to stop this and keep our region alive is to send them, Gyomei and the others as they are the only ones that fit in the loop hole! Because none of them are official warriors of our regions yet” Akita says

  “Isn't Gyomei the leader of our armies or something?” Kingsman says

  “Yes and no, Gyomei is the son of the old general Gen. But he was the best fighter and best strategist even among the upper ranking members as an unofficial rookie, so Kaito asked me what I thought about bringing his son on as a warrior as well but we gave him the nickname his father called him to make sure no one would think we were being biased by promoting him. After a few years we made him the new general because he is like his father, technically he’s never been a warrior in the region! But I told Kaito if he’s qualified then allow him to follow in his father's footsteps, and he's proved himself tenfold that deserves his position! That's why we need all of them to go and stop this!" Akita is *nervous* as she says

  “But that entire region is full of murders, none of them can be trusted!” Kingsman says

  “I know that and I don’t trust any of them either, but this is our only option! Unless?” Akita is *concerned* as she says

  “Unless what?” Kingsman looks Akita in the eyes as he says

  “I could do it myself, I could go over there and kill them!” Akita is *shocked* as she says

  “That’s dangerous, I thought you couldn’t be there because of the peace treaty!” Kingsman says

  “I can’t, but if I kill them all fast enough and make sure there are no survivors I could stop all of this! But it is extremely risky because if even on person escapes then I'll need to answer for what I've done to not cause a war and put your lives in jeopardy, those are our only options and with how I feel currently I don't trust myself to make a rational decision. So whatever you tell me I'll make it happen!" Akita says

  “Kingsman I–” Kingsman says

  “Me and Kaito can’t really come too a truly solid decision on if we want too send them as well...Truthfully it's me! Kaito is ready to send them because he trust Gyomei and the others, but in the back of my mind I'd rather it be me than to let them even get that close to danger! I want to protect them, but if I take a step to do it then I'll be putting them in even more danger! All I need is for you to agree with me and that'll be all the clarity I need to move forward!" Akita says

  “Fine, since we only have one option we’ll send the kids but you have too make them extremely strong too make sure they don't get hurt” Kingsman says

  “I can’t be gentle, if you want me too train them too be able too take down an army! They have to be hurt here so they are not hurt out there, when they are there I'll let them get up but when they're out there the moment they fall the entire fight is over!” Akita says

  “Fine, just don’t…I just want them too be safe” Kingsman says

  “Too win out there they have too lose in here, which means they have too be at there most vulnerable and weak here so they can be strong out there. I can’t slow down! I can’t let up, I have to push them to the brink of death so they come back ten times stronger which means you can’t try and stop me while we’re training no matter how hard or dangerous it looks, Ok?” Akita says

  “Yes, ok I understand I'll stay out of your way during training just please make sure they are strong enough to handle anything that comes after them” Kingsman *smiles* as he says

  “I promise you I will! Now can we eat and enjoy our morning?” Akita says

  “Fine, sure I will just eat upstairs” Kingsman is *shocked* as he says

  “Akita I–” Akita stands up as she grabs her food and starts walking upstairs as she says

  “No I'm fine I just want to eat alone, have a good day!” Kingsman puts his head in his head as he *sighs* and slams his hands on the table as he says

  “Damn it!” Kingsman stands up as he walks out of the backdoor and Kaito is leaning on the wall next to the door and Kingsman says

  “Kaito, take the kids too meet Gyomei again so they can get familiar with him and whoever else Gyomei's taking with them!” Kaito notices Kingsman expression as he says

  “Sure, but are you ok? You seem like you got a lot on your mind” Kingsman says

  “I’m fine, I'm gonna go train! You just make sure they know the people there traveling with” Kingsman walks off into the forest
