Chapter 023

  Power Gaps

  Gyomei stands up as he is *panicked* and screams

  "SAIGO, NO!" Akita *starts to tear up* as she says

  "Oh no!" Gyomei starts giving Saigo chest compression as he starts *crying* and says

  "NO! Saigo please, don't leave me!" Gyomei pulls Saigo to his chest as he *cries* over his body but suddenly Saigo *coughs* as he slowly opens up his eyes and says

  “Where…Am I!?” Gyomei is *shocked* as he says

  "Saigo, your alive!" Gyomei hugs him tighter and Akita *smiles* as she says

  "Thank goodness your ok, Saigo!" Suddenly a voice from behind all of them says

  “Good job, Akita!'' Akita is *shocked* as she sees Kaito and Kingsman standing in the doorway and Kingsman walks over to Akita as he picks her up off the ground and Kaito walks up to Gyomei and Saigo as he looks at Saigo and says

  “Listen, I’m glad you’re ok Saigo...But we need to know–” Kingsman says

  “Who did this to you Saigo!?” Gyomei lets go of Saigo as he looks in his eyes and says

  “Who did it!?” Saigo says

  “Where’s…Kenshin!?” Kaito closes his eyes as he says

  “Kenshin is…Is–” Kingsman says

  “He’s dead because of the people who did this to you, so tell me who did it!?” Saigo is *shocked* as he starts *crying* but he wipes his eyes as he says

  “We were all walking together as Kenshin was attacked from behind, and Kei called them–” Kaito is *shocked* as he says

  “Kei!? No,NO! He wouldn’t...Not this level of betrayal! I knew he was changing, but he would never!” Saigo says

  “He called them…The Twin Prodigies!” Kaito and Kingsman are *stunned* as Gyomei is *confused* and says

  “Who the hell are The Twin Prodigies!?” Kaito says

  “Minato and-” Kingsman says

  “Masaru, the two of them together are almost impossible to beat when fighting them at the same time. But, I'm confused!" Gyomei says

  "Confused by what?" Kingsman says

  "Minato and Masaru are warrior's of code, and they only take orders and fight for...Their leader!" Kaito and Kingsman look at each other as Kaito is *shocked* and says

  “He’s plotting!” Kingsman says

  “No, the plotting is done. He’s got everything in motion, he has control over the Shimadzu region and all of its warriors. We may be in the middle of a warzone soon!” Kaito is *angry* as he says

  “Damn it, how could you do this!” Kaito punches the wall as Kingsman says

  “We’ll have to do something!” Kaito looks at Kingsman as he says

  “I’ll handle my brother!” Kingsman says

  “This is different, it’s no longer just him. He has an army and an entire region behind him as well, we have to move smart. We cannot afford to let our emotions cloud our judgment, he knows he couldn't beat the two of us alone. We need to know what he's doing, and what he's done! ” Kaito says

  “You’re right, Saigo where is Kei?” Saigo says

  “He is with Miura” Kingsman *clenches his fist in anger* as he says

  “Damn it, I forgot Miura tried to kill all of you! Gyomei with me, Akita watch over Saigo!” Kaito says

  “Kingsman!” Kingsman looks at Kaito as he says

  “You coming or not?” Kaito says

  “Yeah, let’s go!” Gyomei lays Saigo gently back on the bed and stands up as him,Kingsman, and Kaito all leave the room as Akita walks over to Saigo

  At the same time Kei and everyone else step into the main village of the Fujiwara region as they see all of the destruction inside and Kei is *confused* as he says

  “What happened here?” Masaru says

  “Looks like a warzone!” Hironaka says

  “This is what happened when Kingsman got here!” Minato looks around in *amazement as he smiles* and says

  “He’s still that strong, good to know!” Shiro walks in front of all of them as he looks around the village and *clenches his fist in anger* as he says

  “This is where my brothers died…I want Kingsman dead!” Kei says

  “It will be handled later, but until–” Shiro looks at Kei as he *angrily* screams

  “HE’S TAKEN EVERYTHING FROM ME, MY REVENGE WILL NOT WAIT!” Kei walks into Shiro's face as he says

  “Kingsman killed my father, and everyone I have ever loved and took my region as people think of him like a hero for it. Kingsman killed four pathetic excuses for men, and you think you know the pain of loss enough to give orders!” Shiro says

  “He–” Suddenly Kei punches Shiro in the face launching him back as he crashes through multiple buildings and Hironaka's hand surges with ice as Matsuno is *shaking with anger* but neither one of them move as Kei turns around and looks at them as he says

  “Either of you have a problem?” But neither one of them respond and Kei says

  “I thought so, now–” Suddenly Shiro punches Kei in his face knocking him back into a wall as Shiro grabs Kei by his throat and says

  “Don’t you dare disrespect my brothers!'' Minato and Masaru rush towards Shiro but Matsuno and Hironaka both land in front of them as Shiro looks into Kaito's eyes and says

  “I have pledged my loyalty to you, but NO ONE will disrespect my brothers!” Shiro drops Kei as Kei holds his throat and *laughs* as he says

  "Alright then...Since this is technically still your region, I will fight you for your title of lord!" Shiro says

  “What!?” Kei says

  “Matsuno and Hironaka are loyal warriors to their lord, and technically with us being here...That's you!" which is still you!” Shiro looks over as he notices Matsuno and Hironaka about to fight Minato and Masaru as Kei says

  “They are loyal to you because of the title you hold here, a real warrior would rather die than relinquish his title...But you were never a warrior! So if you win I will allow full control over myself, Minato,Masaru,Miyamoto, and I will even give you the orb in my chest! Do we have a deal?” Shiro says

  “...Yes!'' Kei and Shiro shake hands as they both jump apart and Shiro says

  “Hironaka, Matsuno...Come to me!” Matsuno and Hironaka turn around as they walk behind Shiro and Shiro says

  “Stay out of our way, me and Kei are battling for control over the entire region. And for the title of true lord!” Kei says

  “Minato, Masaru...Stay out of the way!” Minato and Masaru jump onto the roof of a building and sit down as Hironaka and Matsuno jump onto the opposite roofs and sit down as Shiro and Kei start circling each other as Kei says

  “Are you ready?” Shiro rushes Kei and tries to punch him as Kei dodges all of his punch until he catches Shiro's fist and punches him in the face as he slams into the ground and Kei looks down at him as he says

  "I'll make you my example, since the two of them still don't seem to understand the difference in our strength. I know all of you have thought about taking over, but this will show all of you who your leader really is!" Shiro slowly starts to stands up but Kei punches him in the back as Shiro slams back into the ground and Shiro slowly tries to push himself up as Kei starts relentlessly punching Shiro until he grabs Shiro’s leg and throws him into the air as he jumps into the air and punches him in the stomach sending him even higher up as Kei flies up and grabs him by his throat as he throws him down to the ground and Shiro slams into the ground as Kei stomps onto Shiro's chest creating a crater in the ground and Kei steps off of Shiro's chest as he looks down at Shiro and says

  "Shiro, do you surrender your title as the lord of this land?" Shiro slowly stands up as he *coughs up blood onto the ground* and looks at Kei as he starts *laughing* and says

  "No!" Kei is *shocked* as he says

  “What!–” Shiro rushes Kei as he punches him in the stomach twice and across the face as he knees him in the stomach sending him flying back and Kei stops him from flying back as he drops to one knee *holding his stomach in pain* and Shiro slowly starts walking towards Kei as he says

  “If you thought I intended on just losing, your mistaken!” Kei *clenches his fist in anger* as he stands up and tries to punch Shiro but Kei is *shocked* as Shiro is gone and suddenly a voice from behind Kei says

  "I won't throw away everything we've built!" Kei turns around as Shiro punches him in the face and sweeps his legs as he grabs Kei by the throat and slams him into the ground as he looks down at Kei and says

  "I won't give up every dream we've ever had!" Shiro tries to move his hand but Kei grabs his wrist as he *smiles* and says

  "A beautiful sentiment!" Kei punches Shiro in the face as he kicks him in the stomach and Shiro stumbles back but Kei pulls Shiro's towards him as he let's go of his wrist and headbutts Shiro as he falls onto his back and Kei stands up as he says

  "I understand your pain Shiro, but you could never truly understand mine! Because you've lost your brothers, and you're still trying to uphold everything they believed in! You could never imagine trying to uphold an entire clan alone!" Kei tries to stomp on Shiro's head as he catches his foot and kicks Kei's other foot out from underneath him and Kei falls forward as Shiro punches him in the face and pushed him to the side as he stands up and Kei stands up as Shiro closes his eyes and says

  "We won't lose!" Kei is *confused* as he says

  "We? It doesn't matter, you and the voices in your head will kneel to me!" Kei rushes Shiro as he tries to punch him but Shiro dodges and blocks all of his punches until he catches Kei's fist as he punches him in the stomach and Kei slides back as he *holds his stomach in pain* and thinks

  "Where the hell did this strength and skill come from suddenly!? I've watched him and he's never had this kind of drive for combat!" Kei is *stunned* as he looks at Shiro and sees the presence of Ichiro,DaiSuke, and Takumi behind him and Kei says

  "Alright then!" Kei *slows his breathing* as he activates his universe and consumes one of his planets as his body surges with power shaking the entire village and everyone is *shocked* and Shiro says

  "You-" Suddenly Kei flies past him with such speed the ground is destroyed and Shiro falls onto his back as he *clutches his stomach and shakes in pain* and Kei walks up to Shiro as he stands on top of chest and says

  “I will only ask you this question once, do you surrender?” Shiro tries to speak but he *spits up blood* and Kei steps off of Shiro's chest as he picks him up by his throat and Shiro looks into Kei's eyes as he *weakly* says

  “Y-Yes…My lord!” Everyone jumps down off of the roofs as Kei drops Shiro and turns to them and says

  “It is time for all of you to understand your place, I am Kei Tatsuno and I am lord of both the Fujiwara region and the Shimadzu region! We are not equals, I am your lord! NOW KNEEL!" Minato,Masaru, Hironaka and Matsuno all kneel as Shiro slowly pushes himself up to one knee and kneels to Shiro as Hironaka says

  “We await your orders, my lord!"

  At the same time Miura is at his desk as suddenly his office door is destroyed and smashes into his desk as it kicks up dust all over the room and Miura is *shocked* as someone rushes in and grabs him by his neck as they slam him into the wall and Miura is *scared* as he notices two men standing behind the man holding him against the wall and a voice says

  “Not yet Gyomei, we need answers!" Miura is *stunned* as the dust clears and he sees Gyomei holding him against the wall as Kingsman and Kaito stand behind him and Kaito looks into Miura's eyes as he says

  "Where is he, Miura?” Miura *struggles to breath* as he says

  “I don’t know what–” Kingsman says

  “Gyomei!" Gyomei chokes Miura harder as he slams him into the wall harder and Kingsman says

  “One more chance” Miura *struggles to speak* as he says

  “OK! He went...To the Fujiwara region!” Kaito says

  “Why?” Miura grabs Gyomei's arm as he tightens his grip and looks Miura in his eyes as Miura *struggles to speak* as he says

  “He said he wanted to...Rebuild a dynasty!” Kingsman says

  “With who?” Miura *gasps for air* as Gyomei starts tightening his grip on Miura's neck and Kingsman says

  “Enough!” Gyomei starts choking Miura harder as Kingsman steps up next to him and says

  “Do you want revenge on the ones who did it or not?” Gyomei looks at Kingsman as he slowly looks back into Miura's eyes and sees them starting to turn red as Gyomei *screams in anger* and slams him into the wall as he drops Miura on the floor and *clenches his fist in anger* and Miura *holds his neck in pain as he coughs* and Kingsman looks at Miura as he says

  “You have a few seconds before Gyomei snaps, now answer!” Miura looks up at Kingsman as he *catches his breath* and says

  “He went with Miyamoto,Hironaka,Matsuno,Minato,Masaru and Shiro!” Kingsman is *shocked* as he says

  “Shiro is still alive!? I thought I collapsed his chest with that kick, he's body shouldn't have been able to handle that!” Kaito says

  “That doesn’t matter, we’ll kill them all. Me and you can handle Minato and Masaru, and Gyomei, Saigo and the kids can handle the rest!” Miura *coughs* as he says

  “No my lord...They are a lot stronger now, they were infused with the power of a universe!” Everyone is *shocked* and Kaito says

  “What!?” Miura lifts up his shirt as he reveals the orb in his chest and Kingsman is *stunned* as he sees a small universe in the orb and he says

  “How the hell did you get this power!?” Miura says

  “Kei summoned this...God, or something! He gave us all one and said if we conquered the world then we would get more” Kingsman *laughs* as Kaito and Gyomei both look at him *shocked* and Kaito says

  “What’s so funny?” Kingsman *smiles* as he looks at Kaito and says

  “You don’t see what he’s doing” Gyomei is *confused* as he says

  “What?” Kingsman *chuckles* as he says

  “He’s trying to trade all of this information for his life” Miura is *stunned* as he says

  “No! No my lord, I just want to help all of you! Please my lord you must believe me, it was all lord Kei!" Kingsman *laughs* as he says

  “See, he thinks he’s going to live if he tells us everything!” Gyomei steps up as he reaches for Miura's neck but Kingsman grabs his wrist as he says

  “Not yet!” Kingsman crouches down as he puts his hand on Miura's shoulder and says

  “What is the secret of this power?” Miura says

  “Uhh-" Kingsman says

  "Listen, if you give me truly some useful information...I'll get Gyomei to back up and I'll let you run away!" Miura is *nervous* as he says

  "And...Lord Kaito won't hurt me!?" Kingsman says

  "You have my word!" Miura sits up as he says

  "...He told us that we could become stronger by using the planets, but he told us that when there are no planets...We can use the power of the sun! But he told us that using it was suicide, he said the power would destroy our bodies!" Kingsman says

  “Good to know, but one more question. What happens if this power is forcefully extracted from your chest?'' Miura is *confused* as he says

  "I-I dont-" Kingsman grabs the orb as he rips it out of Miura’s chest and Miura falls to the ground as he *holds his chest and screams in pain* and Kingsman stands up as he turns around and slams it into Gyomei’s chest as Gyomei *screams in pain* and drop to his knees as Kaito is *shocked* and says

  “Kingsman, what did you do!?” Kingsman looks at Gyomei as he says

  “What? It looked like it was put in that way!" Kaito is *worried* as he says

  “Ok, but you don’t know how it works and you just–” Suddenly Gyomei stands up as he says

  “This feels…Amazing!” Kingsman *smiles* as he says

  “See, he’s fine. Now, back up...We need more space to test your power!" Kingsman grabs Miura by the throat as Miura is *shocked* and says

  "Wait!? You gave me your word!" Kingsman says

  "And I never went back on it, Kaito hasn't touched you and Gyomei is going to back up!" Miura is *scared* as he says

  "But you said I could walk away!?" Kingsman looks into Miura's eyes as he *smiles* and says

  "Your right...Walk away!" Kingsman drops Miura as he takes a step back and Miura is *nervous* as he looks at Kingsman,Kaito and Gyomei surrounding him and Kingsman takes a step to the side as Gyomei takes a step back and Miura *nervously walks past them* until a hand grabs his shoulder as Gyomei says

  "You are the reason...My brother's dead!" Miura turns around as Gyomei grabs him by the neck and throws him through the ceiling as Kingsman looks into the air and says

  “Hit him!” Gyomei puts his hand up as his hand glows dark blue and he punches with such force a giant shockwave destroys the roof of the building as the pressure of the punch shatters all of Miura's bones as he *spits up blood* and is launched extremely far away as Gyomei is *shocked* as he looks at his hand and says

  “How did my ability activate!? All I tried to do was throw a normal punch! " Kingsman says

  "Your a lot stronger now, so I'd advise you start training even harder with this power and learn how much you need to hold back. Or don't and stop holding back all together, maybe you'd stop losing fights to people you out class in every conceivable way!" Gyomei looks at Kingsman as he says

  "My father upheld a code and I will do the same...No matter what!" Kaito says

  "I respect your code of honor, but with the challenges we'll face I don't know if you will be able to" Gyomei says

  “What do we do now?” Kingsman says

  “Well now, we definitely can’t just rush in and kill all of them. They’d be a lot, even for me” Kaito says

  “So we pick them off, slowly” Kingsman says

  “Yeah but we have to be tactical, make sure they don’t suspect that we’ve caught onto them” Kaito *clenches his fist in anger* as he says

  “When it comes down to it, I’ll handle Kei!'' Gyomei *clenches his fist in anger* as he says

  “And I’ll handle the twins!'' Kingsman says

  “No, when that time comes you can handle one of them. But Saigo will handle the other!'' Gyomei is *shocked* as he says

  “Saigo!? No, I won't let him get hurt anymore!” Kingsman says

  “When he gets better I know Saigo will have a vengeance for his fallen brother, speaking of such. Gyomei, when are we holding the funeral?” Gyomei puts a hand over his face as a *tear falls through his hand* and Kingsman walks up to Gyomei as he puts a hand on his shoulder and says

  “I know your still hurting, but the best thing you can do right now is put the bad memories of the past behind you and carve a better future. I know the pain feels overwhelming and all consuming, but you cannot allow yourself to succumb to it! You wouldn't want that for them if it was you... So don't mourn Kenshin, remember him! Remember everything you've done together, all the good things!” Gyomei says

  “I understand...But it still hurts!” Kingsman says

  “The pain won’t subside as long as you know the killer of your brother is still alive” Kaito walks up to Gyomei as he puts his hand on his other shoulder and says

  “For now we will pay our respects to Kenshin, until we can get revenge for him!” Gyomei *sighs* as he takes his hand off of his face and says

  “Tomorrow...I think Saigo should be well enough to be there!” Kingsman says

  “Understood!” Kaito says

  “I’ll have it handled, but where will we hold it?” Gyomei says

  “We had a secret spot behind the village that we would go to all the time, so we will hold it there” Kaito says

  “Good, i’ll have the village ready–” Kingsman says

  “No! What part about a secret spot did you not understand Kaito, we’ll bring the ones who truly knew Kenshin and nothing more!” Gyomei says

  “Thank you, Kingsman!'' Kingsman says

  “Now let’s get back to the village, and check on Saigo''

  At the same time Akita is sitting in a chair feed Saigo as Saigo looks into her eyes and says

  "Thank you, Akita. I don't understand how somebody like Kingsman got somebody as sweet as you" Akita *smiles* as she says

  "Thank you, but Kingsman is a lot nicer when you truly get to know him!" Saigo *chuckles* as he says

  "I've known him since I was a boy, and he's always been a pain in the ass!" Akita says

  "Oh, well Kingsman treats everybody differently. But he truly does only have good intentions, he loves all of you!" Saigo *laughs* as he says

  "The only thing I've ever seen Kingsman love was you,his daughter, and sake!" Akita says

  "Kingsman does love the boys, but it's just he was raised different and wants to raise them to be able to protect themselves and the people they care for. Kingsman has been through a lot...Please don't hold his temper against him!" Saigo *chuckles* as he says

  "You protect him and even apologize on his behalf, you truly are an amazing women!" Suddenly the door opens behind them as they look over and see Kingsman,Gyomei, and Kaito as they walk over to Saigo's bedside and Kingsman leans over Saigo as he says

  "Are you flirting with my wife Saigo? You think I don't deserve her!" Saigo is *scared* as he says

  "No! It was-" Kingsman says

  "Take her! But when she beats you like she beats me don't come crying to me!" Akita is *shocked* as she punches him in the arm and says

  "Kingsman, don't say that!" Kingsman *holds his arm in pain* as he says

  "Oww, I think my arm is broken" Akita stands up as she says

  "Kingsman stop!" Kingsman takes a step back as he *laughs* and he puts his arm around her as he pulls her close and pinches her cheek as he *smiles* and says

  "Relax, I'm joking...Somewhat! But now back to business what's important, how is Saigo doing!?" Saigo looks at Kingsman as he *smiles* and says

  “I’m better!” Kingsman says

  “Can you stand?” Saigo says

  "I can try!" Akita is *worried* as she says

  "Be careful, and take your time!" Saigo slowly sits up as he slowly turns and puts his feet on the ground as he slowly stands up but he falls forward as Gyomei catches him and Kingsman says

  “Good, so you can still walk! How about your arm?” Saigo looks at his arm as he tries to move his arm but it doesn't move at all as he *sighs in frustration* and says

  “Damn it!” Kingsman says

  "Can you feel it?” Saigo says

  “No!” Kingsman walks over to Saigo as he grabs his arm and Saigo *cries out in pain* and Kingsman says

  “It’s not broken, but with how damaged it is you won't be able to use it for some time. But you should keep it elevated!” Gyomei says

  “I can help!'' Gyomei sits Saigo back on the bed as he starts to lift his shirt but Kingsman grabs his arm as he says

  “You know were in a hospital right? We can get him a real sling!” Akita is *curious* as she says

  “What happened to you, Saigo?” Saigo *sighs* and Kingsman looks at him as he says

  “That’s a good question, what happened exactly? The full story!” Gyomei is *confused* as he says

  “Wait, why were you even in Miura’s village!?” Saigo *sheds a tear* as he says

  “Kenshin found out that Miura had set us up, and he wanted to make you all of you proud! He wanted to prove that we don’t always need you to handle our problems...To prove that we could do something! But as we went inside of Miura’s office to confront him...Kei was there and Kenshin told him what we were there for...And he said he would take us to him! We followed him around the back of the village until...A hand came through Kenshin’s back! I couldn't even sense them...I tried to fight but they were...I couldn't!" Kingsman says

  “That’s what Minato and Masaru do, I know both of you are hurt by Kenshin's death...But under no circumstances do you fight them at the same time! Even if it's the two of you versus the two of them, you need to separate them or don't engage! don’t ever think about fighting them at the same time. You won’t be able to hit either one of them” Gyomei *clenches his fist in anger* as he says

  “Like hell I won’t!” Kingsman says

  “Gyomei, you can’t beat them” Gyomei gets *angry* and screams

  “I HAVE TOO!” Kingsman says

  “But you can’t, me and Kaito have faced them before. They aren't the kind of enemies you can fight at the same time or if you're not fully focused, they are extremely dangerous and if you encounter them you need to find a way to seperate them for the chance of victory...But it is easier said than done! That’s why when both of you face them, your main priority is to separate them and kill them alone!” Saigo *clenches his fist in anger* as he says

  “No! I want him to watch his brother die...like I watched mine!” Kingsman *sighs* as he says

  “You two…Are so fucking stupid! You’re acting off of your emotions like children, your a soldiers! Act like it!” Gyomei says

  “They took–” Suddenly Kingsman grabs Gyomei and Saigo by their necks as he slams them against a wall and says

  “Number one, you don’t make the rules...I do! When I speak you listen, Saigo you can’t move your arm at all right now and can barely stay on your feet! If the both of you rush them and fight with anger and hatred in your heart, you become easy to predict...And easy to trap!" Akita is *worried* as she rushes over and grabs Kingsman's arm as she says

  “Kingsman, Saigo is still hurt! Please let them both down!” Kingsman drops them both as he looks down at them and says

  “You move how and when I say, end of discussion! Forget that again, and I'll show you the real power gap between us!” Kingsman walks out of the room as he slams the door with such force it shakes the entire building and Akita looks at Gyomei and Saigo as she says

  “I’m sorry!” Akita turns around as she rushes out of the room and Kaito looks down at them as he says

  “Kingsman isn't wrong, you too are getting beside yourselves. You follow orders as they are given, and I will not deprive you of your revenge. So when you fight them, separate them or die! That is all I will say, get better Saigo. Kenshin’s funeral is tomorrow” Kaito turns around as he walks out of the room

  At the same time Akita rushes up to Kingsman in the streets as she grabs his arm and says

  “Why did you do that!?” Kingsman says

  “They speak as if we are on the same level, and they are dumb enough to assume they are stronger then me and Kaito! We struggled against them because of their coordination,speed, strength and defense! But when we separated them, Masaru fell quickly and we were able to beat Minato. We both have greater experience fighting them, but they speak as if I don't know what I'm talking about! we don't know what we're talking about” Akita says

  “I understand that Kingsman, but this isn’t you. You never use your status to order them around!” Kingsman says

  “It is necessary, they don’t understand what kind of danger there getting themselves in!” Akita *sighs* as she says

  “I know, you’ve told me about them but I don’t think you doing that to them will make them want to listen to you” Kingsman *clenches his fist in anger* as he says

  “They don't have a choice, I make the rules not them! If they have a problem with that then they can join there brother!” Akita is *shocked* as she says

  “Kingsman! Don't say that, they did nothing to deserve that. You're changing, your letting your emotions get out of control!” Kingsman looks at Akita as he says

  “What!? My emotions are in check, I'm just getting sick and tired of people think they can question me!” Akita says

  “No, even when your angry you're never this serious with them. If you were truly ok, you would have told them it wasn't a good idea but to go ahead if they truly want to! Or you would have talked them out of it...But you'd never attack them when they're hurting...Not like that!" Kingsman takes a step closer to Akita as he says

  "Kei has assembled an army of truly I don't know how many, and you want me to sit around laughing while the two of them get themselves killed! We lost Kenshin..We watched all of them grow up and become the men they are! Me,Kaito, and Gen all trained them when they were younger, Saigo trained with Kaito, Gyomei trained with Gen...And Kenshin trained with me! I had to see a man I watched grown from a boy...Dead in the back of a cart! As if his life was worth nothing, as if he meant nothing! And I'm supposed to still be smiling, huh!?" Akita is *shocked* as she says

  “I...Uhh...That's not what I'm saying! It's just you've become really aggressive and...Your starting to scare me!" Kingsman is *stunned* as he says

  "You think I'd hurt you!?" Akita says

  "No! I know you wouldn't hurt me, but I'm just worried about everyone else. With how you're becoming...I'm just scared that you might hurt someone else! And I've never seen you do that to anyone like that...And I'm worried about what will happen if your anger starts spiraling! I know we've talked about it...But please-" Kingsman *sighs* as he says

  “Fine...you can help me control my anger!” Akita *smiles* and says

  “Ok, how can I help?” Kingsman says

  “I don’t know, figure it out!” Kingsman starts walking away as Akita walks next to him and says

  “But how do I calm you down?” Kingsman says

  “I don’t know, your face calms me down” Akita says

  “So, I can jump in front of you when you get mad?” Kingsman *laughs* as he says

  “It’ll stop me, but what about the person I’m fighting. And if you get killed, I just want you to know... This world is dead!” Akita says

  “Oh, umm…What about…Something that can-” Kingsman says

  “Allow you to stop me without hurting me?” Akita says

  “Yeah!” Kingsman says

  “That’s why The Boy has the cursed kunai I gave Riku, but why do we even need a plan for me!? What if Kaito goes on a rampage!?” Akita says

  “Akemi and Emi will be his reason to stop!” Kingsman says

  “What if they're out of the village, then what?” Akita *smiles* as she says

  “Well that’s why your here, you'll protect me!” Kingsman *smiles* as he says

  “I’m not here, neither are the kids, and the only person left to protect the village is you! What are you going to do?” Akita says

  “Then I’ll stop Kaito!'' Kingsman *laughs* as he says

  “You know what, I know the perfect way for you to stop me…Fight me!” Akita is *shocked* as she says

  “What!?” Kingsman *smiles* as she says

  “The best way to calm me down is to beat me until I can't move!” Akita is *stunned* as she says

  “I…Uhh-” Kingsman says

  “Let’s start you’re training” Kingsman grabs Akita by her waist as he pulls her close and kisses her and she blinks as there in the backyard of there house and Kingsman lets go of her as he says

  “When you have this mark on you, you are now one of my students and no longer the love of my life!” Kingsman grabs Akita's hand as he puts two fingers on top of it and a black dot appears on her hand as she *smiles* and says

  “Ok!” Kingsman says

  “This means I will treat you as I treat the rest of my students, no special treatment at all. The exact…Same…Way!” Akita says

  “All right, I’m ready” Kingsman says

  “Good, now give me ten push ups'' Akita *smiles* as she says

  “Ok!” Kingsman grabs Akita by the back of her neck as he pulls her close and says

  “You are my student, and you will address me with respect!" Akita is *shocked* as she says

  “Yes…Sensei!” Kingsman pushes Akita down as she drops to the ground in a push up position and she starts doing push up until she drops to the ground and slowly starts to push herself up as Kingsman says

  “Only eight push ups, punishment!” Suddenly Akita feels immense pressure on her back and she looks back and is *shocked* as she sees Kingsman holding a tree on her back and Kingsman says

  “Hurry up!" Akita struggles to hold herself up as she says

  "I can't do it with that sitting on my back...Please move it!" Kingsman says

  "No, now shut up and do the push up before I drop it on you!" Akita slowly struggles as she does a push up and tries to push herself up but she falls to the ground as Kingsman says

  “Get up!” Akita is *exhausted* as she says

  "Can I have...A minute!?" Kingsman throws the tree in the air as he uses his foot to flip Akita on her back and Akita is *scared* as she sees the log falling down towards her and Kingsman says

  “Catch it!” Akita covers her face in *fear* until she slowly opens her eyes and sees the tree is inches from her face as Kingsman is holding it with one hand and Kingsman *sighs* as he says

  “We've got a lot of work to do!'' Kingsman turns the tree sideways as he says

  “Lift it!'' Akita slowly puts her hands up and presses against the tree and Kingsman lets go as Akita drops it on the tree but Kingsman kicks it breaking it in half as he grabs Akita by her shirt and stands her up as he says

  “So you’re weak, let’s see if you can at least still fight after all this time. Throw a punch at me!” Akita *tries to catch her breath* as she says

  “Can we take a break?” Kingsman says

  “No, now swing!” Akita raises her fist to swing but Kingsman flicks her in the forehead as she *holds her head in pain* and Kingsman says

  “This isn’t a game, this is a fight!” Akita lets go of her head as she tries to punch Kingsman but he flicks her forehead as she stumbles back and Kingsman says

  “As a warrior you must use your emotions to fuel you’re power, not be consumed by them! Warriors consumed by emotions are predictable!” Akita starts running around Kingsman until Kingsman trips her and grabs her by her leg as he lifts her up and pinches her on the butt as he puts her back down and she stands up as she tries to slap him but he dodges all of Akita's slaps as he dances around her until he trips her and catches her as she falls and they lock eyes as he pulls her close and he leans in for a kiss but Akita slaps him as she *smiles* and says

  “Got you!” Kingsman *smiles* as he says

  “Got you back!” Akita is *confused* as she says

  “What–” Suddenly Kingsman drops her as she falls through a portal on the ground dropping her extremely high into the air and she *screams in fear* until she falls below the clouds and notices the beauty of everything as she stops screaming takes in the view until Kingsman catches her and lands on the ground as he says

  “Wow, finally not scared anymore?” Akita looks at him as she *smiles* and says

  “I don’t need to be, you’ll always catch me!” They lock eyes and Akita leans towards Kingsman but Kingsman throws her into the air as he *laughs* and is tackled by Tadashi and Kingsman pets him as he *smiles* and grabs Tadashi's stomach as he says

  “You’ve been spending too much time with the Little one, you’re starting to get fat!” Kingsman looks over and sees Akita staring at Tadashi as she's *shaking in fear* and says

  “Tadashi sit!” Tadashi steps back as he sits down and Kingsman looks at Akita as he says

  “Do you trust me?” Akita in a *shaky voice* says

  “Y-Yes!'' Kingsman puts his hand out as he says

  “Then please, let me help you face this fear!” Akita slowly moves towards him as she doesn't take her eyes off Tadashi and she sits next to Kingsman and he says

  “Look into my eyes, nowhere else. Just in my eyes!” Akita looks Kingsman in his eyes as Kingsman grabs her hand and slowly starts her hand across his arm then across the grass until he slowly pushes her through Tadashi fur on his back and he says

  “See, he is not like the rest. He won’t hurt you” Akita *smiles* and says

  “His fur is…Soft and warm!” Kingsman slowly moves her hand to Tadashi’s face as he starts to lick her hand and she *giggles* and Kingsman says

  “Now, look at him!” Akita slowly looks into Tadashi’s eyes as Kingsman says

  “Are you still afraid!?” Akita says

  “No, he has really beautiful eyes!” Kingsman screams

  “BOO!” Akita jumps in *fear* as Kingsman starts *laughing* and Akita says

  “That’s not funny!” Kingsman *smiles* as he says

  “What, you’re not scared of him right!?” Akita says

  “You still scared me” Suddenly Kingsman stops *smiling* as he looks at the roof and Akita is *worried* as she says

  “Kingsman? What is it!?'' Kingsman stands up as he walks over to the house and jumps onto the roof as he crouches down and Akita stands up as she looks onto the roof and sees Kingsman stand up as he's holding a piece of straw and she is *confused* as she says

  "W-" Akita is *shocked* as Kingsman darkness surges all over him and he looks into the air as he opens his eyes and his eyes are red as he drop off of the roof and holds the piece of straw up to Tadashi's nose as Tadashi sniffs it and stands up as Kingsman says

  "Go!"

  Tadashi rushes off as Kingsman disappears and Akita is *worried* as she thinks

  “What’s going on!? I better go get the kids!'' Akita rushes into the house
