They all live in Ryozanpaku, a place where Martial Art Master who upholds the ways of the "Saving Fist" and had practice their skills beyond the limit gather.

They all have face many tough challenges and had manage to survive them all!

Now a new challenge creep to the doorstep of the dojo. A challenge that was unseen by even the residents themselves, whom apparently weren't prepare. This challenge came in the form of…

"Hey everyone," a young girl called out in front of the dojo.

…Honoka Shirahama, Kenichi's little sister

"APA," Apachai sounded, as he rush over to the door, "Honoka is here! It's time to play again, APA!"

Apachai happily open the heavy door with ease, only to be confused when he saw Honoka carrying a large bundle on her back.

"APA? Honoka bring lots of little candy this time?"

"Well," Honoka nervously laughed, scratching the back of her head, "you're somewhat right! But I've also brought some other things like a toothbrush, some pajamas, and a sleeping bag…"

"APA? Why does Honoka need to bring those?"

"You'll see," Honoka chuckled, which for some reason was giving Apachai shivers, "I need to see brother's other masters as well. Which reminds me…where's brother?"

"AH!" Kenichi screamed, punching several robotic dolls that were continuingly trying to punch and electrocute him, "Master Akisame, did you make some improvements to these things? They even know how to dodge now!"

"Of course," Akisame simply stated as sip his tea nearby, "your opponents aren't going to stand there and let you punch them out. They'll do a little ducking and weaving every now and then…"

"But I doubt that they'll use electricity in battle!"

"You can never be too sure, Ken-chan," Kensei snickered as he continues to read a porn magazine nearby, "it is a very unpredictable world out there…"

"It's better to have a taste of it here than get the entire course out there," Sasaki muttered as he drank beer nearby, "Think of this as a warm up for when face it in the real world…"

"I appreciate your consideration," Kenichi screamed as several robots zap him, "but have it ever occur to you people there is something call 'too much of a good thing'?"

"Nope," Akisame immediately answered, "such phrase never exist in my book…"

"I can never have enough of a 'good' thing," Kensei snickered as stroke Miu's buttock as she happen to pass by.

"KYAA," Miu screamed as she tries to kick Kensei in the head, "Kensei, you pervert…!"

"Not my fault you let your guard down," Kensei foolishly giggled as evade all of Miu's attack.

"Crap, I'm out of beer," Sasaki grumbled before getting up and heading for the door, "I'm off to get more…"

"You people are dodging the subject!" Kenichi exclaimed as he continue getting shocked by the robots.

"Hey everyone, how are you all doing?" Honoka exclaimed as she and Apachai enter the room.

"Ah! Kenichi's little sister!" Miu squeaked before attempting to run over to Honoka and hug her.

"Back off Big Boobs!" Honoka snapped, scooting out of Miu's path.

"Honoka!" Kenichi exclaimed as he slitter his way out of the training robots, "When did you get here?"

"A few moments ago…"

"Kenichi," Akisame voiced in surprise, "who told you to stop training?"

"Oh," Sasaki muttered as he reenter the room with a beer bottle, "that little sister of Kenichi again…"

"Hmm," Kensei hummed in amusement as he took out a camera, "her 'size' has grown quite a bit! A few centimeter, might I add…"

SLASH!

Shigure, having been standing upside-down on the ceiling, shredded the camera with her sword.

"That's sexual harassment," Shigure stated dully, "…Kensei…"

"I-I understand," Kensei comically whimpered as Shigure's sword aim dangerously at his throat.

"Oh Shigure-san," Honoka laughed, "it's okay! Let him at least dream a dream he'll never have…"

"Oh?" Shigure quoted, "very…well."

"So where's the Old Grandpa?"

"The elder," Akisame answered as he dragged the screaming and pleading Kenichi back into center of the robots, "is currently on a journey to Afghanistan. Said something about 'liberating' it…"

"No!" Kenichi screamed, "Don't put back in there! At least allow me to write my will!"

"Old Grandpa not here, huh?" Honoka hummed, before shrugging it off, "Aw well, I'll get his approval later then…"

"Approval?" Shigure repeated, "Approval of…what?"

"To stay…"

"APA?" Apachai sounded in confusion, "Honoka is sleeping over?"

"No Apachai-san," Honoka giggled before putting on a big grin, "I've decided to learn martial arts at Ryozanpaku!"

A moment of silence passes by before a number of things happen at once.

Shigure fell from the ceiling in surprise;

Sasaki choked on his beer as a large quantity of it squirted out of his mouth;

Kensei dropped his backup camera on his foot, resulting in him hopping around in comical pain;

Akisame tripped on flat ground landing ungracefully head first, letting go Kenichi in the process;

Apachai join Miu in comical froze of dumbfound;

And Kenichi screamed his head off in comical shock and horror.

"You're going to WHAT?" Kenichi loudly asked.

"I'm going to learn martial arts at Ryozanpaku," Honoka repeated as if nothing had happen, "didn't you hear me the first time?"

Akisame, recovering from the disgraceful fall and regaining his composure, cleared his voice.

"Uh, young one," Akisame coughed, "Do you realize what training martial arts at Ryozanpaku means?"

"Of course," Honoka chimed, "it means that I get to learn how to defend myself and others against people who pick on the small or weak, having the power to uphold justice and undo wrong, saving people's life, no longer being a major burden to my brother like getting easily kidnapped, learning from history's greatest, coolest, and strongest master, sharing the same burden as my brother, hanging out with Shigure-san and Apachai-san when not training…should I continue?"

"Uh…"

"Well," Sasaki scratch the back of his head in embarrassment, "I-I don't know about 'greatest'…"

"O-Or 'coolest'…" Kensei scratch his cheek in the same manner.

"You guys are already falling for it!" Kenichi yelled in disbelief.

"Uh, Honoka-chan," Miu tried, "Ryozanpaku's training is a bit…uh, harsh. You should reconsider…"

"Not happening," Honoka interrupted, "I want to grow up to be able to hear people say, 'look, it's Kenichi's younger sister' not 'look, it's Kenichi pathetic, weak, damsel-in-distress little sister'! Besides, I've already got approval from my parents to let me do this…"

"Mom AND Dad allow you to do this?" Kenichi cried in disbelief, "How did it turn out like THAT?"

"Well…"

Flashback…

"Mom…Dad, I've been thinking," Honoka voiced at the dinner table suddenly, catching her parents attention, "I think I should go and stay at Ryozanpaku…"

"WHAT?" Mr. Shirahama yelled, startled by the proposal.

"Honoka, why?" Mrs. Shirahama asked, a tad surprise.

"Several reasons," Honoka began, "first off, I feel sorry for brother having to train 24/7 without at least one of his family member their to support him. Secondly, after a couple times seeing the members of Ryozanpaku in action I started to take an interest in material arts too so I want to learn from people I know and trust. Thirdly, I heard that a bunch of delinquents are popping up lately, I want to be able to defend myself and my friends if I run into one. And lastly, the best way to keep tab on brother's activity outside the house-hold is to always be at the one place he always is: Ryozanpaku…"

After a couple minutes of awestruck silence, Mr. Shirahama smiled and cleared his voice.

"Well said, my daughter," he laughed, "and you've already come to the age when you can make your own decision so go and do what you know is right…"

"Oh, thanks dad," Honoka jumped in joy before going over to her dad and giving him a hug, "You're the best…"

Mr. Shirahama smiled as he watches his daughter went over to hug her mother before rushing upstairs to 'get packing'.

Mrs. Shirahama turned to her husband in confusion.

"Honey, I'm surprise," she stated, "you took that quite well, unlike with Kenichi…'

"Well," Mr. Shirahama began as he sip his tea, "Kenichi change so much after he start training at this dojo; he's become a better man than most others; I can almost say that he has become better than me. Our daughter now wishes to walk down the same path. This path no doubt will allow our child to grow; she'll be able to see the world much sooner and be more prepare. That's how I view Ryozanpaku now; they are the blacksmith that will turn our children into swords of greatness…"

"Oh~!" Mrs. Shirahama awed, totally impress, "that's…"

"Besides," Mr. Shirahama continue, "Unlike Kenichi, who's rock hard too stubborn in the head, our Honoka can simply quit if she sees that the task start getting impossible…"

"A-Ah, that's true," Mrs. Shirahama sweat dropped.

"So that's how you think of brother now, " Honoka, whom had secretly reenter the room, snickered, "huh, dad? He's 'rock hard too stubborn in the head' huh? I think I'll tell this to brother about that…"

"AH!" Mr. Shirahama panicked, "WAIT!"

Flashback…End

"…And that's how it happen," Honoka summed up.

"…'rock hard too stubborn in the head' huh?" Kenichi comically cried in despair, sarcastically laughing every now and then, "My own family thinks that way while I'm not around…! Ha, ha, ha…well, excuse me for having masters who wouldn't let me run away…"

"Kenichi, snap out of it," Miu tried to comfort her friend, "I'm sure it was a joke…really…"

"…Sure it was…"

"Hmm," the Elder spoke as he licked a large lollipop, "It would seems that she is dead set on being Ryozanpaku's second disciple…"

"It certainly seems so," Akisame cupped his chin in amusement.

"I don't know," Sasaki scratched the back of his head, "I don't take disciple…"

"How can you say that," Kensei sweat dropped, "after you took Kenichi as your first disciple?"

"That was different! I did it because…because…because it was birthday! Yeah, I was in a good mood and thought it would hurt to train just one…"

"Your lies," Shigure mumbled, "are getting more and more…pathetic…"

"APA!" Apachai cheered, "Apachai can now have a second disciple!"

"Hey wait a minute here!" Kenichi voiced, finally recover from the trauma, "I'm her big brother! Don't I have a say in this?"

"It is up to the master to decide whether to take any person in as a disciple," Akisame motioned, "the disciple, even if family-related, has in a sense 'no say' in the matter…"

"What? How…Wait a minute! Elder! When did you get back?"

With a slight jump, everyone turn to Hayato Furinji, who was still licking his lollipop.

"G-Grandpa!" Miu sounded in surprise.

"Whoa, how long were you there, old man!" Sasaki question in confusion.

"About a minute," the Elder chuckled, "around the time Honoka-chan was relating her story…"

"Go figures he can come and go without us knowing," Kensei muttered, "So how did Afghanistan went?"

"Better than I expected! As soon as they saw me they were all too willing to comply to whatever I say or want! I think they'll have at least two to three years of peace, depending if they are willing to follow my instruction…"

"I see," Akisame hummed before returning his attention to Honoka, "now about the issue on hand…"

"Ah yes," the Elder gave a small smile before addressing Honoka, "Now Honoka-chan, the world of martial arts is a dangerous and unforgiving world. There are people who won't hesitate in slaying you, child or not. Once you enter this world you cannot escape even if you try; the battles will keep coming and coming for the rest of your life. So I will personally ask you again: are you willing to devote your life to martial arts?"

"Yeah," Honoka gave an immediate determine reply, "I'm not going to let my brother walk that path alone…"

The masters of Ryozanpaku inwardly smiled; Honoka was a very determined girl.

Kenichi gave a defeated sigh. "…Alright, if that's how you want it Honoka I can't stop you now…at least I know Apachai-san and Shigure-san won't kill you…"

"Huh?" Honoka asked dumbly.

"Anyway," Kensei went on as he pulled out what looks like a contract and gave it to Honoka, "to become a official disciple of Ryozanpaku, you must first sign here…"

"No problem!" Using the pen Kensei gave her, Honoka eagerly wrote down her name.

"…Also the tuition fees: 2000 yen a month…"

"…Huh?"

"…Okay, how about 1000 yen…?"

"No, that's not it! It's just that I can now see why brother was always trying to save his money when he goes shopping with me…"

"Now you know…" Kenichi huffed a chuckle.

"Here you go," Honoka glee as she handed Kensei the money, "2000 yen in full…"

"Ah, thank you," Kensei happily accepted the money before addressing Kenichi, "You should learn from your little sister, Ken-chan; she paid in full price on her first day…"

"Master Kensei," Kenichi grumbled, "if I recalled correctly, you were the one who lower the fee to ¼ of the price before I got the chance to pay…"

"…W-Was that so?"

"So can I start now, masters?" Honoka asked.

"Ah yes," the Elder hummed, "but first, Akisame why don't you start her off…like how you did with Kenichi…"

"…Very well," Akisame smiled before his eyes glowed in excitement, "Ah~, how nostalgic~! It feels like I'm training Kenichi all over again! Lets begin~!"

Honoka stared at Akisame for a moment before turning to Kenichi.

"Should I start panicking?"

"…Yep!" Kenichi smiled wearily, "Welcome to the door of hell…"
