Hi everyone I'm starting a new story for History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi. I recently began reading it (though I did read up to the current chapter) and I found it to be good. I also had this one idea pop into my head which I could use for a story.

Please note that I am writing under the assumption you know who each character is. If you don't…well…you could always read the manga to find out.

I hope you enjoy

"Talking"

'Thoughts'

"Techniques/extremely loud shouting"

Summery: a few weeks after the D of D tournament, a new transfer student, with the most Ironic of names, appears just before the Yomi members. Who is he, why is he here, what does he want, and most importantly…why can't he remember where he learned how to fight?


Prologue

Kenichi groaned as he slowly made his way to school "jeez the Shifus are going to kill me with their training one of these days. From Koetsuji-shifu's machines, to Ma-shifu's repetitive motions, to Apachai-san's unintentional beatings, and sparring with Sakaki-shifu, it seems that after I won that D of D tournament they've been training me even harder."

His inner complaints were cut short as Miu tapped him on the shoulder. "Come on Kenichi-san, we're going to be late if we don't hurry."

Kenichi nodded as he followed Miu along their shortcut while thinking to himself 'It's hard to believe I can actually keep up with Miu on this path. I guess this is a result from all of the training the shifus have been drilling into me.'

As Kenichi and Miu walked into the school building, they noticed a hooded person looking around the area as if they were lost. "Anou, do you need help?" Kenichi asked as he tapped the person on the shoulder.

What he didn't expect however was the person to spin around and launch a kick straight at his face. Barely avoiding the kick Kenichi quickly scrambled into a stance followed by Miu who also took a stance.

Scowling Kenichi spoke in a sharp tone "Are you Yomi?"

The figure set their foot down and removed their hood showing a slightly feminine face and fiery red hair.

Kenichi looked confused "A girl? Damn it I can't hit a girl!"

The 'girl' had a tick mark on 'her' forehead as 'she' yelled at Kenichi with all of 'her' might "I am not a girl!" the force of his shout knocked Kenichi, who looked utterly baffled, over as Miu stood her ground.

Miu's eyes narrowed "I'll ask you the same question. Are you Yomi?"

The now confirmed boy shook his head in a negative letting Miu drop her stance. But his next words startled her "I'm Yami"

Both Kenichi and Miu jumped back and got into their stances again "You're part of Yami?" she all but shouted.

The boy tilted his head to the side. "Iie, my name is Yami, Kagirinai Yami, pleasure to meet you"

Kenichi relaxed his guard but kept an eye on Yami, "Then why did you attack me when I tapped you on the shoulder?"

Yami shrugged his shoulders "Reflexes, I'm always being ambushed, so my body lashes out at anything that surprises me."

Miu satisfied that he wasn't an immediate threat lowered her guard as well "We can talk later, right now we're going to be late." Kenichi nodded as he and Miu began walking into the building.

"Anou…" they turned around to see Yami rubbing his head "…Where's the Kouchou's office?"

Kenichi chuckled and pointed him the way. Thanking them Yami left for the Kouchou's office to do whatever he needed to do.

Kenichi sighed as he put his street shoes in the locker and slipped on the school shoes. "Who would've thought there was someone named Yami in our school?"

Miu nodded "Yeah that was surprising, but…he's a good fighter" Kenichi looked confused.

"You could tell at a glance?" he stepped into the hallway and followed Miu to their classroom

"Kenichi-san, didn't you notice how fluid his movement was? He turned around and launched a kick in the blink of an eye. Also he said that was a reflexive movement, meaning he's gotten into situations like that so many times his body automatically reacts to it. It's similar to how I throw anyone who stands behind me."

Kenichi rubbed his chin in thought as he took his seat. "Well…I guess so; normal people don't have that kind of reaction speed."

Kenichi felt a clawed hand on his shoulder and slowly turned his head to face the person/thing "Are you talking about the new transfer student?" the creature asked

Kenichi jumped in surprise and moved next to Miu for protection "Don't sneak up on me Niijima!"

Niijima's shrugged his shoulders uncaringly "Fine even though I have some information on the new guy. I'll just tell the rest of the Shinpaku alliance without you." He began to walk away with a smirk.

Kenichi sighed not even bothering to try and tell Niijima that he wasn't part of the Shinpaku alliance. Instead he turned to Miu who smiled at him allowing him to forget about Niijima for a moment.

"Miu-san what do you think?"

Miu's smile never left her face as she answered his question "I think we should go just to see what Niijima knows about him Kenichi-san."

Kenichi sighed in defeat "Okay Miu-san I'll go see what that demon-faced alien has to say." Miu only smiled as the teacher began her lessons.

"Everyone we have a new student joining us today, his name is Kagirinai Yami."

Yami walked to the front of the classroom wearing the school uniform "It is nice to meet you all." He bowed and smiled kindly before taking an empty seat in the back of the class.

Kenichi and Miu glanced at him briefly before focusing on the lessons


After classes in the Shinpaku alliance HQ

Kenichi sighed as he took a seat "Alright Niijima what information do you have for us." Takeda, Ukita, Kisara, Freya, Thor, Tanimoto, Siegfried, and Miu all nodded wanting to know more about the new person, though Tanimoto didn't openly express his curiosity.

Niijima scrolled threw his PDA searching for the desired information. He smiled when he finally found it after a minute or two. "Here we go…Kagirinai Yami, age 16, male, has three Onee-sans, who happen to be triplets, and a single mother. Not much is known publicly about him other than he is popular with girls and unpopular with guys."

Pausing to show them an available picture of Yami Niijima pressed a button and the screen switched to some video feeds. "These are some interviews with those who had fought against him."

The screen showed a random thug shivering in fright "He was like a ghost or something! Untouchable…not one of us got even a glancing hit in"

The screen switched to another thug who had a black eye "He took out each of our members with one hit, in five minutes!"

Before Niijima could show the next interview Mizunuma ran in shouting "Everyone, the new guy is fighting out front!"

There was a simultaneous shout of "NANI?" as everyone jumped to their feet and followed Mizunuma out to the fight scene.

When they got there they saw Yami staring down a horde of sixty thugs, his hands in his pockets. Kisara adjusted her hat in annoyance "Jeez Mizunuma! They haven't even started yet and it looks like Yami won't even bother with them." There were murmurs of agreement from everyone present, causing Mizunuma to look at the ground in embarrassment.

Kenichi sighed in relief "Kami-sama thank you! Yami-san doesn't seem to be a person seeking fights."

It was true as Yami didn't have any fire in his eyes or hostilities in his posture; in fact he looked bored if nothing else.

Yami sighed as he glanced at his newfound audience "Bothersome bakas blocking my way home."

The apparent leader scowled and shouted at the much smaller boy "Who are you calling baka you damn bishie!"

Yami stared him in the eye "Isn't it obvious? I'm calling you baka… baka"

As the insults flew back and forth the Shinpaku alliance took to sitting around prepared to intervene if necessary.

Miu sat in the formal Japanese position and sipped some tea she had brought with her. "Everyone should relax, that boy Yami won't need our help if it comes to blows." The others shrugged and did as advised though Kisara opted to sit as far away from Miu as she could while still being in the group. Tanimoto jumped onto a nearby wall and promptly sat down away from everyone else.

By the time Tanimoto had sat down the leader had apparently had enough of Yami's insults and rushed forward followed by his followers.

Yami sighed in annoyance before he took his hands out of his pockets. "For weaklings like you I'll only use punches."

Takeda smiled "A fellow boxer eh?" his smile lessened as Kenichi shook his head. "No not a boxer, he obviously doesn't focus a whole lot on his punches, besides earlier when I had surprised him he lashed out with a high kick, not something a boxer would do."

Ukita rubbed his head in confusion "Then what does he practice?" Miu shrugged her shoulders "Who knows?"

By the time she finished talking the first thug had reached Yami, and was quickly struck down by a straight right. Yami sighed as the rest of the gang finally drew near him; the first one was just faster than his comrades.

What followed was something the Shinpaku alliance would never forget…sixty thugs defeated in a flash by one high school student, who never once: used a kick, a weapon, or even moved from his spot.

As the last thug fell Yami took a deep breath and began to walk past the piles of groaning bodies.

Niijima however was ecstatic "Wait Yami-kun!" Yami stopped and looked at Niijima curiously

"What do you want alien?" his tone was flat as if calling Niijima an alien was the most normal thing to do.

"I want you to join my Shinpaku alliance!" Niijima's face was filled with evil glee as his forked tongue lengthened to an abnormal length.

Yami kept walking completely ignoring Niijima. Noticing this he ran up to Yami and placed a hand on his shoulder, only to be punched in the face by Yami who didn't even look back.

Kenichi and the others ran up to Niijima's unconscious body, as the normal Shinpaku alliance members checked on their leader.

Kenichi decided it was better to call out Yami's name instead of tapping him on the shoulder and did just that. "Oi Yami-san where are you going?"

Yami looked back and smiled when he saw who it was. "Ah Kenichi-san, Miu-san nice to see you. I was just going to my new apartment and unpack my stuff."

Miu smiled at him as Kenichi introduced everyone to Yami "May we help you move in?"

Yami smiled "Sure I'll lead you to my place, it'll be nice to have friends who can visit anytime, considering I'm going to be living alone."

Freya looked surprised as she spoke "You live alone? What about your family?"

Yami just rubbed the back of his head and laughed "I decided that I needed some time away from the craziness that my family brings with it everywhere they go."

The alliance just nodded accepting his answer and proceeded to follow him down the road.


Ten minutes later

Yami stared at the smoking mass of rock in shock. "My apartment…burnt down?"

The police officer he was talking to nodded "Hai, apparently someone threw a fire bomb into it when everyone was away. Luckily no one was hurt."

Miu, Kenichi and the others just stared at pile of rocks that was formerly their new friend's home.

Miu patted him on the back weary of his possible counter attacks "Anou…if you want you can stay at my place, we always welcome guests, but…"

Yami who had looked up alarmed tensed at the 'but…' "What do you mean by 'but…'?"

Miu smile nervously as did Kenichi "You might die if you aren't careful."

Yami shrugged his shoulders, as he shook her hand in thanks "I think I'll take the risk of death over my house any day."

Kenichi looked away and silently thought 'If only he knew what he is getting into.'
