4229 Words
The Next Day, Honnouji Main Tower, Night Satsuki Kiryuin, clad in only a bathrobe, was enjoying the tea prepared by her trusted butler Soroi. In fornt of her laid Junketsu, restrained and clearly trying to break out of it's confinemets. She had felt that the ferocity and bloodthirst of her own Kamui was very draining and decided to just take a seat and bask in the moonlight. Satsuki: Your tea warms me through and through, Soroi. Soroi: Thank you, Milady. Satsuki: Do you think you have snuck up behind me, Sanageyama. The young man she had just addressed was standing behind his chair with a confident smirk. Sanageyama: Not at all. If I had the slightest intent of attacking you, yiu could easily kill me with just that teacup. Satsuki: What is it that you want, then? Sanageyama: Let me fight Matoi. Satsuki: Why? Sanageyama: Do you really need to ask? I believe you know perfectly well what happens when I see someone powerful. Satsuki: Do you wish to challenge Matoi only? Sanageyama: What do you mean by that? Suddenly a familiar voice echoed across the room. ???: She means if you don't wanna challenge me, you cheap ass parody of Goku. All of the people in the room widened their eyes, even Satsuki, as she hadn't sensed the owner of the voice. She immediately regained her composure. Satsuki: How nice of you to join us, (Y/N). (Y/N) emerged from literally out of f*****g nowhere and walked to the point he was besides Soroi. He then rudely took the teapot for himself and served himfelf a cup. Sanageyama: In my book, you haven't done anything to prove you as a strong person. (Y/N): *stares motherfuckerly* Asshole, did ya drive that bamboo stick so far up your ass that it caused ya amnesia? A few chapters ago I literally b***h SLAPPED BAKUZAN out of Eyebrows' hands. Something I doubt you could or would do, cuz y'know, you're her f*****g dog, just like those other three. *sips tea* Hey old man, this tea's fuckin' delicious! Soroi: I am...glad that it is to your liking. Satsuki: Insults aside, he does have a point, Sanageyama. Sanageyama: With all due respect, whose side are you on, M'Lady? (Y/N): The side that never loses and has free will, AKA not yours, AKA mine. Satsuki: *smirks* Heh. Anyway, you do know the price for failure, I assume? Sanageyama: Not to worry. With these eyes, I can't possibly lose. Elsewhere, the cruel b***h that was Fate heard someone tempting her and smiled wickedly. Satsuki suddenly smashed her teacup and went to stab Sanageyama woth the broken handle, only for him to block it. Satsuki: Nicely blocked. As you wish. See what you can do. Sanageyama: Thanks, I appreciate it. If I win, treat me to tea or something. *looks at (Y/N)* I'll challenge you after Matoi.  He promptly left, leaving Satsuki, Soroi and (Y/N) in silence. (Y/N) suddenly grew an excited grin. (Y/N): Welp, get me some popcorn and soda, cuz that motherfucker just tempted fate! And boy she is a b***h! Satsuki: Indeed. Soroi: Most certainly.  Satsuki: I apologize, that was rude of me, Soroi. Soroi: No milady, though I do find it a shame. This was your favorite cup. Satsuki: Heh, make a fresh pot for me. Now would you kindly leave us, I have to discuss something with this one here. (Y/N): Yeah...wait, we do? Soroi: As you wish. Please, excuse me. The old butler left the room, leaving the lady of war and the mysterious troublemaker alone. The former stood up from her seat and walked towards the latter. She stopped just a few feet of him and they stood there in one of their long-awaited staredowns.  (Y/N): You look...kinda tired. Satsuki: And you look as energetic as ever. (Y/N): Touche. So are we done checkin' each other out? I wouldn't mind if we aren't, cuz ya look fuckin' gorgeous in the moonlight. Satsuki: Always the ladies man, aren't you? (Y/N): What, can ya blame me? Satsuki: I suppose I can't. A confortable silence was present in the room, until Satsuki again broke it. Satsuki: (Y/N) (L/N), I find you fascinating. (Y/N): That came outta fuckin' nowhere, but ok... Satsuki: Since the moment of your arrival, you have been nothing short of an enigma. You have no previous records, nor you officially exist. I took it upon myslef to learn everything there was about you.  (Y/N): That's like, not creepy at all, nope. Satsuki: But every lead I find about you has always been a dead end. And here you are, the single greatest mystery I have yet to solve. You are an unknown factor, a loose cannon, and you have the strength that I suspect that could rival a Kamui. (Y/N): Not even close, chica. Satsuki: Therefore, I have decided to recieve the answers I want from the source. She stepped closer to (Y/N) to the point that it would take her just to stand on her tiptoes to kiss him, raised her hand and placed it on his cheek, stroking it gently. Satsuki: (Y/N) (L/N), who are you? (Y/N) stayed quiet, his hair shadowing his eyes, thinking. (Y/N): Holy s**t, she's pretty goddamn close! I kinda wanna answer 'I'm Batman' just for shits and giggles, but I kinda don't wanna piss her off. Oh well, I might regret this in the future. (Y/N): Your pretty persistent aren't you? As for your answers... promise you won't tell anyone. Satsuki: I give you my word. (Y/N) slowly reached into the back of his hair and plucked something in his fist. He then took the hand that was on his cheek and handed her the item. She opened her hand and she could have sworn her heart skipped a beat. Because in her hand, was one of (Y/N)'s rainbow hair strands. She stared at the it and then at (Y/N), who went to leave. He stopped at the exit. (Y/N): Not. A. f*****g. Word. I'll talk to ya in few days. He left, leaving Satsuki standing there, shocked at the reveleation. Suddenly, her butler came into the room with the phone on his hands. Soroi: Beg pardon, M'lady. Your mother is on the phone. Satsuki snapped herself out of it and, while still staring at the strand, answered the phone. Satsuki: This is Satsuki. ???: What's this I hear about you putting on your wearing dress? (Scene Break) The Next Day, Honnouji Academy, After School (Y/N): God damn it! I revealed too much! But her fuckin' hand was at my cheek and she was so close, fuckin' hell she's hot... NO! C'MON MAN SNAP THE f**k OUT OF IT! YOU ARE THE THOT DESTROYER, AN ELITE MEMBER OF THE THOT PATROL, YOU'RE BETTER THAN THIS! He then saw Ryuko and Mako, waiting by the entrance. (Y/N): Yo, Mako, Scissor b***h! Mako: Hi (Y/N)! Ryuko: Would ya stop calling me a b***h! (Y/N): I only say what I see, b***h. Whatsamatter? Ryuko: *Points* That. (Y/N): Oh, I forgot 'bout him... I wanna watch her kick his ass, also it's a good distraction. Well would ya look at that, the monkey's challenging you, whatcha gonna do? Ryuko: At this point, you should know. (Y/N): I don't know you that well, chica. What am I, your dad? Ryuko flinched and looked genuinely hurt, before getting pissed and storming towards the school dojo. Ryuko: f**k you, asshole. C'mon, Mako. I got some ass to kick. (Y/N) facepalmed as the realization sinked in. (Y/N): Right, her father's dead... Welp, I f****d up. (Y/N) strutted towards the dojo, making a mental note to apologize to Ryuko later. (Scene Break) (Y/N) had arrived just in time to witness Sanageyama's transformation into his uniform's battle form. He quietly stood in the crowd to watch the battle.         Sanageyama: Three-Star Goku Uniform: Blade Regalia! (Y/N): More like V.E.R.O.N.I.C.A., cuz that s**t looks like the Hulkbuster! Oi, 50 bucks says he's compensating for something! Ryuko: What's this? You show me yours and I show you mine? Alright then, let's do this! She transformed and immediately went for the offensive. She brandished her scissor blade and slashed at Sanageyama. But the kendo warrior always either dodged or countered her every move. Sanageyama: It's no use! I can see all your moves! Behold, Secret Weapon: Tengantsu: Heaven's Eye! As long as I have these eyes, I can anticipate any move made by my opponent! (Y/N): I give that name a 1/10, I would name it Eyes of Heaven, because Jojo... wait, anticipate moves? weird-ass eyes? Oi, this is Naruto territory we're crossing! I'm not sure if this story's ready for those kinds of references! He snapped out of it as he saw Sanageyama going on the offensive. Ryuko could only block his high-speed attacks while trying to think of a way around this. She suddenly got an idea. Ryuko: Senketsu, I need ya to do me a favor. She muttered something to her Kamui. Senketsu: I understand. All-or-nothing, huh? Ryuko suddenly cut off a piece of Senketsu. Said piece split into smaller pieces that covered all of Sanageyama's eyes blinded. (Y/N) grinned like a maniac. (Y/N): Ha! Fate is a b***h! Get rekt son!  Ryuko dashed at the blinded swordfighter, and with one Fiber Lost, Sanageyama had lost his uniform and the match. Mako got close to Ryuko, cheering for her. Mako: Ryuko, you did it! You beat one of the Elite Four! You're amazing! Then Sanageyama stood up, completely naked, demanding a rematch from Ryuko.         Sanageyama: This isn't over yet! (Y/N): Fuckin' called it! A lot of people beyond the fourth wall owe me 50 bucks! I'm rich! Sanageyama was then hit by a series of whips by none other than the head of the disciplinary comitte himself. Gamagori: Do not be pathetic, Sanageyama! You have disgraced the Elite Four! Having heard enough, (Y/N) went to leave, but before he could reach the exit. Mako saw him and ran up to him with Ryuko not too far behind. Mako: Hi (Y/N)! Didn't see you around, where were you? (Y/N): Hey Mako. I was somewhere in the middle of the crowd. Nice fight, by the way. What's up? Mako: I wanted to invite you to my house to dinner! (Y/N): Really? Mako: Yup! My parents say they wanted to meet my other best friend! (Y/N): Other best friend, huh? Roll with it. I got nothin' to do, so I guess I'll go. Mako: Yay! Welp, see you at night, c'mon Ryuko! Ryuko: *glares at (Y/N)* Yeah, let's go. They promptly left the dojo, leaving (Y/N) to his thoughts. (Y/N): Man, she's pissed. Welp, can't really blame her. I know! After the dinner, I'll apologize to her. Good plan, me. (Scene Break) That Night, No Star Slums, Mankanshoku House  (Y/N): I guess this is the place. I mean if the casino sign reading 'Mankanshoku, back-alley doctor' doesn't give it away, then nothing does. He knocked on the door and waited for an answer. Mako: Coming! *opens the door* (Y/N), you're here! Come on in, dinner's almost done! Mako guided (Y/N) though the small house until they entered waht he assumed to be the eating room. He then saw two faces, one was familar and the other wasn't. He spoke to the former. (Y/N): Hey, it's the crappy pickpocket from chapter 1! Mataro: Hey! I have a name y'know! So you're my sis' 'other best friend' huh?         MATARO MANKANSHOKU (Y/N): I thought he was just an extra that only appeared for one chapter... ???: So you're (Y/N) (L/N), huh? Nice to metcha, I'm Barazo, Mako's father and a back-alley doctor! BARAZO MANKANSHOKU (Y/N): Doctor, eh? Nice. How many people have ya treated. Barazo: Hmm, I don't really keep count. Mako: He's killed more patients than he's saved, though. (Y/N): Oi, oi, oi, why are ya sayin' that with that carefree expression, bowl cut! Barazo: Don't worry. None of the dead patients have complained! (Y/N): That's...actually true, but its cuz they can't, damn it! Just then, a beautiful woman that looked like an older version of Mako entered the room with a casserole on her hands. ???: Oh! You must be (Y/N), I see that you're already getting friendly with my hubby and my son. I'm Sukuyo, Mako's mother! SUKUYO MANKANSHOKU (Y/N): Holy f**k, she's so god damn hot! How did this lucky fat bastard score on HER of all people?! Barazo: Yeah, he's a pretty nice guy! (Y/N): I appreciate the compliment, but I'm still so jealous of you! I want a woman for me, I'm the protagonist god damn it! A certain girl with a red hair streak, another with bushy eyebrows, and a pink-clad blonde with a flower eyepatch sneezed simoultaneously. Sukuyo: Well, dinner's ready! I made my special croquettes for our guest!  The back door opened, revealing Ryuko who was on her bunny pajamas. She greeted the Mankanshokus before making eye contact with (Y/N). She immediately averted her eyes and sat without so much a 'hi'. (Y/N) sighed mentally before turning to his food. (Y/N): Oi, what the hell are these. It looks like one has worms on it! Everyone started eating, and by eating I mean tearing through the food. (Y/N) hadn't even touched his out of fear that he might get poisoned. Mataro: Hey, (Y/N), you should really eat your food, cuz if you don't Guts is gonna eat it! (Y/N): Who? The back door opened again, this time revealing a small brown pug with a blue jacket. The dog then jumped at the table and began stuffing it's face in the food. Guts: Guts!         GUTS (Y/N): Oh, it's the pervert dog, would ya look at that. *looks at his plate* Screw it, just one bite. He carefully took on a bite, widened his eyes and took another. (Y/N): What the hell? These are actually good! Mataro: I know right?! Ryuko smiled a little, knowng that she had that same reaction when she first ate the croquettes. Soon all the table occupants ate their food with gusto until nothing remained. (Y/N): Whew, that's what I call a feast! Oi, Ms. Sukuyo, those we're good! Sukuyo: Well aren't you a sweet young man? Thank you. (Y/N) looked at Ryuko, who seemed just as satisfied as him. (Y/N): Ryuko. Ryuko: H-Huh? He said my name, again. (Y/N): I need to talk to ya, in private. Do ya have a minute? Ryuko: *sigh* Let's go outside. They exited the house and climbed onto it's roof. (Y/N) looked at Ryuko who stared back with an expectant look. Ryuko: Well? (Y/N): ...Mako's parents are really nice people. Ryuko: ...Yeah, they are. (Y/N): *sigh* Ryuko... I'm sorry for, well you know, bein' an asshole earlier in the morning. Ryuko: ... (Y/N): I had an issue to deal with yesterday night, and it didn't go like I expected... I was angry at myself...  I shouldn't have said what I said...  It's cool if ya don't wanna forgive me. Ryuko fixed him with an unreadable look, before a smirk made it's way onto her face. Ryuko: Well, well, well, look at you begging for forgiveness. (Y/N): Oh, c'mon, Gear Eyes! This was supposed to be a heartwarming moment! Ryuko: Heh, you know that's not how I roll. s**t's way too cheesy for me. (Y/N): Point taken. Ryuko: Damn right! *sigh* Whatever, you don't seem like you're lyin', so we're cool. (Y/N): Heh, thanks, Ms.Fanservice. Ryuko: What, ya gonna go back to the nicknames? (Y/N): Yup, 'sides I like your reaction when I call ya by your name. Ryuko: *blushes* That's so not true! (Y/N): Whatever helps you sleep at night, chica. Welp, it's pretty late, so I'm gonna go home and catch some Z's. Or not, cuz y' know, Smash all nighter. Say bye to Mako and her family for me. Hasta la vista, Sugar t**s. Ryuko: I'm goin' to kill you one of these days! (Y/N): Ha! You'll fall in love with me before you do! He then disappeared in a burst of speed, leaving her with a bright blush. Ryuko touched her chest, trying to calm down her heartbeat. As she went to enter the house, she thought to herself. Ryuko: As if! There's no way I'd fall for that jackass of all people...right? (Scene Break) The Next Morning, Honnouji Entrance Some of you may think that (Y/N) had a good night's sleep, that after making up with Ryuko, everything would be fine. Ah, if the world was that easy. After finishing his Smash Bros all nighter, he stayed awake for many hours thinking on how he was going to confront Satsuki.  (Y/N): Little Mac players just want to make me kill myself. s**t, if Eyebrows wasn't after my ass before, she definetely is now! f**k this nervousness s**t, I'll talk to her after class! He had arrived at Honnouji's courtyard, except it seemed...different.         HONNOUJIGAHARA (Y/N): Where the hell did this s**t come out of? This was NOT here yesterday. Ugh, whatever, it's not like anyone would notice, cuz y'know, plot and s**t. Oh look, it's the monkey. Might as well say hi. He saw Sanageyama standing in the middle of the arena. (Y/N) noticed something was different about him, since he didn't have that cocky face he knew him for. The kendo captain suddenly spoke. Sanageyama: So you've come, (L/N). (Y/N): 'Sup monkey, you look kinda off. I see that you're up for round two. How the hell did Kiryuin allow this? Sanageyama: I simply showed her my renewed resolve. As for me looking 'kinda off'. You'll see in a few moments. (Y/N): Hmmm, Eyebrows does have a heart, look at that. He suddenly felt someone's eyes on him. He looked upwards to see the lady of war herself sizing him with a piercing stare. (Y/N): Speak of the devil and the devil shall appear,huh? Satsuki: ...We shall talk later, (Y/N). For the moment, stand at the sidelines and watch the duel. (Y/N): Aye aye, cap'n. Let's see your resolve, you f*****g monkey. He stood on the outside of the arena and waited for the Kamui wearer. He closed his eyes for a power nap, feeling Satsuki's eyes still on him. After a few minutes, Ryuko arrived. (Y/N): Yo Matoi, what's up? Ryuko: Eh, nothin' much. That elite over there wants a rematch, might as well get to it. (Y/N): Fair warning: something's different about him. Watch your back. Ryuko: Nothing I can't handle, I'll beat him just like last time! Ryuko went directly towards Sanageyama with a confident look. (Y/N): She's tempting fate, oh boy. Sanageyama: Watch closely what happens when you force a man to change. Three Star Goku Uniform: Blade Regalia Mk.II! Ryuko: Heh, let's do it! Life Fiber Synchronize: Kamui Senketsu! (Y/N): Mk.II? That looks exactly the same as the first, but something's off. After transforming, Ryuko rushed towards Sanageyama using the same strategy she used yesterday to beat him. But this time the outcome was different, since the kendo warrior didn't even flinch before counterattacking and sending her across the arena.  Senketsu: Look Ryuko! His eyes are sewn shut! (Y/N) was a bit confused, focused his eyes and saw inside Sanageyama's helmet. Needless to say, he didn't like what he saw.         (Y/N): OI, OI, OI, WHAT THE HELL, f*****g MONKEY?! COULDN'T YOU JUST WEAR A BLINDFOLD OR SOMETHIN' ALONG THOSE f*****g LINES?! NOW YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO SEE THE WONDERS OF THE WORLD, AKA A WOMAN'S BODY! I KNOW YOU'RE A SORE LOSER, BUT SHEESH MAN! Satsuki: Silence (Y/N)! This is the resolve of a man who has realized the error of his ways and sacrificed everything, know that as you face him, Matoi! Sanageyama:...Prepare yourself. He then proceeded to go on the offensive, and by offensive I mean kicking Ryuko's ass all over the battlefield Ryuko: Oh come on! How can he attack me if he's blind?! Satsuki: Shingantsu. The  eyes of the mind. Sealing his eyes shut boosted his affinity with the Goku Uniform. Now the uniform is now Sanageyama's eyes, his nose, his ears. No one can evade his attacks! (Y/N): Really? Cuz that looks like a snail fighting a slower snail. Wait a sec... He can sense her attacks before she makes them, not with his eyes, but with his instincts, where have I see this before? He paused and then his eyes widened like dinner plates. (Y/N): WHAT THE HELL? HE'S GOT OBSERVATION HAKI, THAT IS SO NOT FAIR AND AT THE SAME TIME SO COOL!  Then again, there is me, but I  want Haki damn it! Ryuko crashed in the center of the arena where Sanageyama prepared to finish her off. (Y/N)'s bullet time reaction triggered. (Y/N): Wow, he kicked her ass into next month! What to do? As the main character I must act with honor and not interfere with the fight... Pause (Y/N): YEAH RIGHT, f**k THAT s**t! Honor's for losers! I owe Ryuko for forgiving me and I wanna kick that monkey's ass for having a power that I always wanted! This looks like a job for... Gonnafucksomebodyup man! Faster than anyone could sense, (Y/N) blitzed towards Sanageyama, and kicked him straight in the helmet and sending him to the other side of the arena. (Y/N): ANTI-ASSHOLE DROPKICK! ANTI-ASSHOLE DROPKICK (A.N.: This is one of (Y/N) (L/N)'s special moves, where he dropkicks an opponent with overwhelming speed and strength. It's just a dropkick with a name, so it's not that big of a deal) (Y/N): Number one: How do you like them apples, monkey! Number two: Hey Eyebrows, talk to ya later! Number three: Hey readers, this attack along with the author's note is a reference! Number four: Reigen Arataka is a badass motherfucker, toodles! He took Ryuko from the ground and got the f**k out of there, with his laughter echoing across the entire courtyard. Sanageyama soon stood up de-transformed and glared at the ground in disgrace. Sanageyama: I didn't even sense him! I could sense Matoi, but not him! How much power is he hiding?! Satsuki: Raise your head Sanageyama. There was no disgrace in this. Matoi happened to be lucky that (Y/N) was in the victinity to help him. Sanageyama: ...Yes Ma'am. Satsuki returned to the inside tof the tower with an unreadable look. To be honest, her mind wasn't entirely in the match, but on a certain individual. Satsuki: He's stronger than I imagined...and he's somehow connected to HER of all people.  (Scene Break) In the No-Star slums, (Y/N) put Ryuko gently in the ground. Ryuko: *panting* Thanks...for bailing me out of there...(Y/N). (Y/N): Meh, it was more of a jealous tantrum than anything, but sure, no problem. 'Sides I kinda owed you for forgiving me last night. Ryuko: Damn it, that was really tough! Guess the Elite Four aren't just for show! (Y/N): Mmm-Hmm. Ryuko: But I can't run from this. I gotta find out who killed my dad soon. (Y/N): Wow, she looks kinda determined. That's Ryuko for you. Time to be a cliche anime protagonist, yay, the joy... He put a hand on her shoulder, causing her to look at him. (Y/N): You're determined, that's good. Don't lose your way until you get answers, Ryuko. And as much as I don't wanna deal with this, I kinda care for you, so I'll help ya out. Ryuko: Huh? (Y/N): I'll fight with you to help you find out who killed your dad. That's what friends do. Ryuko: *blushes* Thanks, that's really kind of you... (Y/N) soon grew his trademark cheeky grin. (Y/N): God forbid you need the help, cuz your ass was kicked in so many ways, chica.  Ryuko: Why you son of a- (Y/N): Sorryryukogottagokaycyabye! He disappeared in a blur, leaving a fuming Ryuko alone. She soon calmed down and went towards Mako's house. Ryuko: God damn it, that asshole's really making this difficult... it's so hard... not to fall for an i***t like him... (Scene Break) (Y/N) had returned to the academy and entered the tower with no small amount of swag in his step. (Y/N): I realized that even if she gets pissed off and attacks me, I got nothing to be worried about. He soon came by the door to the room in which Satsuki drank her tea. He took a deep breath and raised his leg. (Y/N): Honey, I'm home! CRASH He kicked the door and blew it off it's hinges. He scanned the room to see Sanageyama in front of him. It seemed like he was about to exit. Sanageyama: (L/N)... Why did you interfere earlier? (Y/N): For a variety of reasons. One: I owed her a favor. Two: To piss you off. Three: An attack reference had to be made sooner or latter. Sanageyama: I see... You are clearly more powerful than Matoi. (Y/N):  Tell me something I don't know, bro. Now do you mind? I got to talk with Kiryuin. Sanageyama: Hmph. I said I would challenge you, and I will, but on a later date. He passed (Y/N) and went to leave, but stopped (Y/N) spoke. (Y/N): As much as I a hate to admit it, you've improved. I hate you 30% less than I did, f*****g monkey. Sanageyama didn't speak and left. (Y/N) smirked and turned towards the person he came to talk. (Y/N): You and I need to talk, Satsuki. Satsuki: Agreed, this conversation was long overdue.
