Kuroko Smith walks into the entrance of a juvenile correctional facility with one of her M.O.N. squad the ogre Tionishia, Tionishia tries to keep a straight face but was completely nervous on the account of being in a correctional facility filled with underage for boys who will possibly be the future burden of society.
As they are walking through the entrance with only two fences from each side keeping them and a safe distance from the juvie doesn't keep them out of site or ear range as they were walking to the checkpoint, the juvie finding way in getting the girls attention by making wolf whistles, throwing gang signs, even making bad pick up lines but only made girls disgust wanting to leave quickly as possible.
Tio leans to Smiths' ear asking: uncomfortably asked: "Is this really a good idea?" Smith responded with a wave of her hand with a small smile "Oh don't worry Tio we're not here for all of them just the one."
Tio was about to ask but was interrupted by 5 prisoners calling out Mrs. Smith "Hey sweet tits have a swing on by here I'll show you how to make em bounce. " All the boys were laughing except for one juvenile just sitting on the table bench watching the others make fools out of themselves from a distance.
When Tio heard it the comment she immediately stopped and called out to the prisoner "You should apologize!" The person to respond back say "And you need to come closer we'll see who's horns bigger mount skanky." leaving the boys laughing and leaving Tio sad with teary-eyes. When the inmate on the bench saw Tio wanting to cry he immediately got up off the table and walk to other inmates and whispered in ones ear making that very inmate tell the rest of his crew to walk towards the inmates at jumped them causing a small riot Guards immediately went to rioters to stop it from continuing As two guards dragged some inmate to lock down other guards were attending the other inmates for medical attention while The inmate who started the riot was trying so hard not to laugh also sees two guards with unpleasant looks on their face coming up to him immediately, put his hands behind his head knowing what's about to happen.
"Let me guess: to the wardens' office boys?" he asked with a smug smile.
Both guards saying unison "Shut up!"
Miss Smith and Tio witnessed the whole event Smith fixed her sunglasses while having a satisfied look on her face when asked for Tio to resume to the entrance, a human who was the warden was standing at the entrance with his hand extended out ready to shake miss smiths hand along with a greeting smile.
"Good afternoon Miss Smite" The warden greeted kindly
"Good afternoon to you too sir how are things holding up with you?"
Staring at the inmates behind the fence The warden responded disappointingly " Well as you can see children nowadays have no form of respect I'm hoping this plan of your well hope these kids instead of just getting them ready for prison." he stood to the side extending his hand to the door that opened " now if you would like to follow me I will escort you to the visitation area to where you can start your interview with the boys that I personally found ready for rehabilitation "Miss Smith walked in telling the warden "That won't be necessary I've already found the perfect candidate." leaving both the warden and Tio confuses.
Walking in the visitation area both Smith and Tio were looking around the outdoor area and sees a small hand full of humans and liminal parents visiting their kids.
Tio ask Smith "I almost forgot, why are we picking up a here?"
Smith gave a small chuckle "oh we're not getting a liminal here." Tio cocked her head confused by Smiths response.
The warden walks over to their table with files under his arm and exhausting look on his face he sighed "I swear that boy…." He hands Smith the files he had under his arm "here's the files miss I'm sure these liminals we b—."
Smith Immediately hands the warden back the files " thank you but like I said that won't be necessary I'm only here for one person do you know an inmate by the name of Jonathan Rook?"
The warden face turned ghostly white from hearing that name then responded hysterically loudly "WHAAAAAT OF ALL PEOPLE IN THIS PRISON YOU WANT THAT ONE!"
Without batting an eyelash Smith just responded while having her fingers crossed together under her chin "Yes, and could you bring me a cup of coffee while you're at it?"
When warden left do you go tell the guards to bring him to the visiting area and for another guard to get Miss Smith a cup of coffee, now feeling more confused than he was at the entrance gate.
Tio sat down on the seat of the picnic table reaching the Smith to eye level and asked: "why do you wanna interview him?" Smith simply replies that "He's a very special case that's perfect for this."
Tio wanted to ask more about him but then both she and Smith were hearing an argument by the entrance
"Get moving"
"Why don't you make me with that pea shooter of yours, piggy?"
"That's it come on this just pick him up and move him there"
"You touch me I'll— hey hey HEY!"
Guards come out with it a struggling inmate chained up from wrist to ankle and plops them on the chair
The guard told Miss Smith with relief "He's all yours. "
Jonathan reply sarcastically "And here I thought we were beginning to be buddies." Making the guard walk away annoyed and placing a grin on Jonny's face.
When he sees Smith he went dead silence looking like he wasn't even interested in wanting to talk to her or what she would have to offer him.
She tries to start the conversation by extending her hand out to him with an introduction "Good evening my name is Kuroko Smith but you can call me Kuroko if you want." "Don't care Smith." He retorted.
Smith knew that She was going to be in for a very rough interview but knows that she need to try to get through to him "Right I did hear you have a very strong disrespect for humans which is why you had to be transferred into the demi sections instead of being in the human section of this facility because you kept breaking into fights and since then you haven't had a single outbreak except for that small riot you pulled when we walked in, could you tell us why?" "What can I say I got bored." He talks back boldly with a smirk.
Kuroko only made a small chuckle telling him that, "that was a good lie" then the warden came walking to them with Jonathan file and handing it to Kuroko then made eye contact with Richard saying only one thing to say to each other "inmate", "warden."
Kuroko broke the tension by telling the warden that he forgot her coffee he retreated to get one hearing Johnny to say "attaboy", he stares down at John only to hear him make two clicks with his tongue leaving the warden angrier.
Kuroko begins by opening his file "Jonathan Rook, age 16,
Height 5.6
Weight 145 to 160 (wish I had that) hair color: dirty blonde
Eyes: Hazel
Got along with the children that were demi in your neighborhood but also has a tendency to leave a trail of distraction in your path given the proper motivation I guess."
He reminds silent.
Kuroko now started a question of his latest actions that brought him in the juvenile hall "Why did you take your moms car?"
"I wanted to go to McDonald." He lied.
"Why did you sell the parts?" she asks a different part of his action.
"I didn't have enough money." He continues to lies.
"Why did you replace them with bad parts and enter in a demolition derby?" asks a different question of his action feeling vexed.
"I wanted to go to the demolition derby, and that was the best way in it." He continues to lie while enjoying smith's interrogation.
It went on for another five minutes until Smith finally got frustrated and just said: "okay since you won't give me a straight answer I'm gonna take five and go grab my coffee, Tio, you take over."
Tio wanted to ask Kuroko why but she was already gone, Tio sat down in the chair Kuroko was scared of what he would say I just saw his mouth she expected the worst and heard "Strawberries", Tio was stunned when he said that but he continued " sorry I.. I saw your eyes and caught a smell and I thought "strawberries." Tio smiled, blushing hearing that "Thank you, it's actually my new shampoo I'm trying."
While Tionishia continues with the interview, Kuroko was looking for the warden and didn't take to long as he was on his way towards her with the coffee she asked: "Ah there you are." "Miss Smith I have you're—"before he could finish his sentence the coffee was taken out of his hand thanking him "Thank you warden now lets step in your office for his release papers." The warden becomes frustrated "What makes you think he's going to want to leave this place?" Kuroko simply said with a sly smile on her face "Oh he will."
While Kuroko went to go get the release papers Tio was getting her composure back continuing the interview, started by looking at his file and found his former address "I see your address is 1401 Military St." Jonathan responds openly "Yeah funny story actually that the street was renamed that because 90% of the residents buy those houses on the street were in military units, My mom was it ex-US Marine." She calmly replied "Ex?" He retorted "Yeah before she became a nutbar."
Before Tio continue the interview Jonathan spoke first "look you seem like a nice girl but I'm completely in the dark and I don't like that so let's play a game of 20 questions, do you know the rules?" Tio responded confused "yeah, but why do play that game?", and then Johnny broke it down to her holding up 3 of his fingers saying "Simple, really because,
1. Both of our questions will be easily answered
2. It doesn't feel like an interrogation
3. Well… who doesn't like playing games" finishing with a nice smile.
Tio felt a little more relaxed now, she was worried that he would put up a front and be difficult but instead, he was being a nice guy and now wondering why he did what he did.
While Tio and Johnny were playing 20 questions, Smith and the warden, him looking defeated were on there way back from the warden's office with Jonathan release papers, as they were walking they heard Tio laughing so hard it was as if she was being tickled, they stopped and peaked to see what was going on in the warden was shocked to what they see, Jonathan and Tio laughing from some of the answers from the game they were playing which is turn "ok, ok question 20 What was the most epic thing you did for a friend?" Jonathan didn't have to think too hard because it was one of his favorite memories "I made a fireworks display for my friend it was her 15th birthday."
Tio couldn't help but cood and aww at the story he did for his friend, "That's sooo sweet." Embarrassed, he kept the game going with his final question with a serious question "okay the last question, why do you guys want me to be in this program?" Tio was answered was intercepted by Smith as she walks to them "Because we wanted to be host right way but ended up in here and we—" a dark aura started coming from Jonathan stoping Kuroko for a moment to him say "I wasn't talking to you." turn to Tio calmer "Now your answer be?"
Tio thought of it for a moment and said: "Because I think you're the only one that we can trust with this." She places the document "So can you help us with this and sign this please."
Jonathan looked around the position he is in I and was thinking that maybe he's getting the fresh start he wanted, as he sees the document in front of him he took the pen on the paper and signed his name and said one thing "When do we start?"
Kuroko informed him smiling "As soon as you get your possessions we will be waiting for you outside the front gate, Pack your bags Johnny you're going to Japan." as they put everything away and started walking out the visitation room Tio turns to him and asked:
"Oh yeah can I have one more question, please?"
We can help but humor her "Shoot."
"Why did you start at that little riot?"
Jonathan didn't even bat an eyelash and simply said "simple they made you cry and that wasn't right."
Tio couldn't help but blush and giggle from the answer.
As they were escorted out of prison by the warden and Jonathan was being prepped for release because now the challenge is that awaits for him is about to begin.
As Miss Smith and Tio were waiting for Jonathan by Smiths car, Smith was getting bored "so how was the when I left?"
Tio lit up when Smith asked, "Oh my gosh he was so fun when we were playing 20 questions he really started to open up, did you know that he actually learn military self-defense at a Boot Camp but he learned martial art from his best friend called, Muay Thai."
"Did he ask anything about what he's going to be doing?" Tio pause with her eyes popped open for a moment "Well…We were, mostly asking personal questions and having fun I completely forgot about most of it." Finishing with a nervous laugh and twirling her index fingers together. Smith was dumbfounded by the answer she couldn't help but smack her forehead with the palm of her hand and sadly mumbled to herself "I'm not getting paid enough for this."
Another 2 minutes went by unit Jonathan walks out the first door wearing the clothes he was wearing before he was convicted, a black thick hoodie jacket with an T-shirt that said "Highway to hell", followed by wearing a pair of blue jeans with a chain connected from his pants loop to his little pocket above his large pocket finishing with a para black running shoes, walking to the final door he sees the human side on the left and on the right were the demis, showing his goodbyes to demi friends by said nothing but extended his arm out with his hand showing the peace sign having half of them in the field given the peace sign back to him.
After walking out of the final door he asked Smith "So are we going to go to my house pick up my garbage before we go." "Your possessions have already been packed up and are being sent to the destination that we are going to be going." Smith replays leaving Jonathan a disappointed look on his face.
When Tio noticed the disappointing look on him she kneels to meet him eye level and tell him with a comforting glow "Don't worry I'm Sure when all this blows over you and your mom can be together an—", "Oh please I don't regret anything that I did and if I had the chance to do it again!" Jonathan interrupts angrily and shocking Tio.
The silence was in the air for a moment until Jonathan walked to Smiths car door opens it and asked annoyed "Are we going or what?"
The car ride was quiet for a while with Smith driving and Jonathan & Tio were in riding in the back, Tio was feeling awkward with Jonathan looking out the window so she tried to break the silence by making small talk "sooo are you looking forward going to Japan?" Johnny couldn't help a reply with a smirk "yeah I have to admit it will be fun to use my Japanese for talking instead of watching anime." Tio was happy that he was opening back up but wondering why he got so upset so she said but instead, she asked him "So how did you learn to speak Japanese?" He smiled saying "I had a nanny who taught like five languages."
Tio eyes started to light up hearing that "really, you really can speak five other languages?" Johnny thought that now would be a good way to past time so he decided to continue talking to Tio in French
"Oui autre que japonais je parle aussi je parle aussi russe, français, espagnol et allemand
"Yes, other than Japanese I also speak Russian, French, Spanish, and German."
While Tio was starting to drool from listening his French Smith rolled her eyes listening to the confidence and decided to point out "That's funny you can speak five languages but you're a C average student. Why is that Johnny boy?" Snapping Tio out and Johnny retorted "Well if you were to look at my transcripts you can plainly see that I didn't really go to public school until I was 13." Smith got annoyed and Tio questioned Johnny "How come you didn't go to public school, did your nanny teach you?"
"Yep, she was really cool teaching a lot of stuff." Tio then questioned, "but that doesn't explain why you only got C's your grades." Johnny gave a little chuckle before answering "That's easy I didn't do any of my work but I always had a perfect score on my tests." Tio then commented, "Wow, your name and he must've been one patient human?"
Johnny corrected "No, she's a hakutaku." Tio became confused until Johnny enlightened her "A Smart Minotaur basically." Tio then perked up hearing that "Oh so you've been around demis since you were like a kid." "Yep," Johnny confirms.
Their travel lasted for another 10 minutes until they reached the airport and then Johnny started to become difficult once again when Smith and Tio stepped out of the car they see Johnny still sitting in the car sweating bullets, Tio pops her head in the car ask him "What's wrong Johnny?"
He continues sweating bullets replies "I decided to change my mind I'm not going." Smith then open the door he was sitting in telling Johnny "Come on Jonathan you're getting on a plane it's the fastest way to Japan?" Jonathan retorted to Smith "forgive me Smith but I didn't really make myself clear there is no fucking way I'm getting on that plane, because birds got a fly fish got to swim and I need to stay on the fucking ground." Smith then called Tio to the trunk and begin to whisper in her ear they then walk to the car door were Jonathan was sitting and Smith asked: "OK Jonathan I'll give you two options you could A, walk up and get in that plane like a man or B, GRAB HIM!" Tio was able to yanked him out of the car by his hoodie and hold his head so close to her very large breast smothering him face first in between them as she was able to hold him down as he tried to wiggle his way out of her breast but failed Smith then reached into her inner coat pocket and pulled out a syringe and injected Jonathan with some tranquilizer to his left ass cheek as he was beginning to struggle less Tio decided then to let him go
Seeing a goofy smile on his face they then dragged his unconscious body into the plane.
Jonathan woke up groggy and wondering why he has a hard time moving right now when his vision started to clear up he noticed that he was in a small space with low lighting with Smith sitting next to him and a short dark-haired girl covering up her eyes sitting across from him but he was too busy getting a panic attack knowing that he's on a plane when the dark-haired girl knew that he woke up she tries to calm him down but it was too late He started to heavily breathe looking around the room very quickly "What the fuck where the fuck am I?!" trying to get the handcuffs he was wearing off of him, repeatedly saying "Get them up get them off get them up get them off."
Smith grab the short chains from his handcuffs hold them down to his lap with a syringe in her other hand and told him "Listen to Johnny boy I had no problem knocking you out I have no problem doing it again if you don't come down." He calms down only slightly but his breathing still remains the same until the girl sitting across from him try to get his attention "it's all right, we'll be in Japan in a few minutes." But he was still heavily breathing "Hey look at me, look at me it's going to be OK." Jonathan retorts "Kinda hard for me to freaking look at you when I can't see your eyes."
Feeling like she had no choice she did the one thing to try to calm him down and moved her hair enough for him to see that she has only one eye leaving Johnny speechless making a small grin.
"P…Pleases stop looking at me" feeling embarrassed she decided to cover her eye with her hair again. He asks "why do you want to cover that?"
"Because people are scared of my eye." She responded with a sad tone he didn't like the answer she gave him so he reached into the tongue of the shoe and pulled out a bobby pin hidden in there then pick the lock successfully freeing him from the handcuffs then use the bobby pin move the hair out of her eye and tells her "Then show it to ones who aren't scare, because you have a nice blue eye." Her face turns red from hearing the comment.
"Alright, enough flirting." Smith interrupt then noticed that Jonathan wasn't wearing handcuffs she placed on him and asked Jonathan "Where're handcuffs?", Jonathan couldn't help himself but dangle them in front of her "You mean these; they were easy to get off if you know how?" Jonathan boasted returning the handcuffs on Smith lap.
Smith question "How did you get these cuffs off?!" Johnny pointed at the bobby pin Manako was wearing and made Smith ask "Where did you get a bobby pin?!" then he pointed out issues and again asked, "How did yo—. "
Jonathan interrupts "Before you think any further into this quicksand let me just tell you this plain and simple if I really wanted to I could've escaped the juvenile hall long ago." Then turns back to the cyclops with a small smile "Anyways you know my name but I didn't get the privilege to know your?"
"M...M… Manako" giving him her name turn her entire face all red and then immediately covered her face with her hands and embarrassingly asked him little loudly "Please stop looking at me!" Which he couldn't help but chuckle.
When's minutes saw both Johnny and Manako having a conversation with each other Smith couldn't help but point out something to Johnny well this is interesting Johnny boy I thought you had a little problem when it came to flying was that all an a—, "The dark aura around him started to appear again is that became sharp staring at her like daggers "I'm trying not to get a panic attack by having a nice conversation with her I got another option but I guarantee that I'll be placed in jail quicker so shut up and let me talk to her or I swear to God I will try to throw you off this pla—."
The conversation was cut off when the stewardess announcing "Good afternoon folks we will be arriving Japan very soon please fasten your seatbelt and do expect a little turbulence."
As Smith Jonathan and Manako were placing their seatbelts Johnny finally noticed that Tio was sleeping on the window side next to Manako and thought to himself "How can she sleep like that the chair is half her size that can't be good for her back?"
Manako try to wake her up to tell her to put on her seatbelt but it only made her motor in her sleep "(giggling) Johnny I can't believe we're in Paris this store is amazing (continue giggling)."
When Manako wasn't able to wake her she knew Tio wasn't going to anytime soon So she unfastened her seatbelt and managed to wedge herself between Tio and Smith and was successfully able to fasten Tio seatbelt but when she tries to return her to her see a good turbulence managed to throw her off balance and land on Jonathan's lap.
"Hey if you wanted to sit on my lap all you had to do was ask." Johnny jested then made Manako turned beet red and made a scream loud enough for the stewardess to go over them.
"What going on!?" The stewardess demanding.
"So sorry it was an accident it won't happen again," Smith said as she waved her hand back-and-forth as she told the stewardess with Manako sitting back in her see her seatbelt fastened but her face still completely and embarrassed.
When the plane landed the first thing John he did when he got out of the plane and the tube what's collapse onto the floor "Johnny are you OK?" Tio worryingly asked
"LAND! SOLID LAND" he shouted hysterically then kisses the floor.
While Smith was trying hard not to laugh, and Tio & Manako were getting Johnny off the floor, a red short haired woman wearing the M.O.N.'s uniform walks to Smith with a jagged smile and asked: "This who were escorting." She looks to see Tio and Manako picking him off the ground.
"HAHAHA, I'm guessing he had a few heart attacks on the way here?" She mocks.
"Now now Zombina be nice and introduce yourself." Smith kindly ordered.
Zombina walked over to Johnny and they both examine each other from head to toe, Zombina decides to make the first move by extending her hand out for introduction "Hey there, name Zombina how you doing kid?"
He didn't say anything but extended his arm like he was going to arm wrestle her, she found out what he was doing and decided to form her arm like his and they collided their hands together to where he comes close to her make it into a brief bro hug Followed by him saying "Like you, still kicking."
"Haha funny and cute I like that combination kid," Zombina Commented
"How about we just stick with Johnny, umm Zombina is it?" He kindly asked.
"You got it right Johnny boy." She responded with her jagged smile.
Johnny couldn't help but chuckle for being called "Johnny boy" then noticed that her hand was still attached to his "Oh crap I'm sorry I took your hand away from you."
Zombina couldn't help but laugh hysterically "AH HAHAHAHA it's OK I know a guy who can stitch it back on for me."
Smith felt calmly reassured by seeing Johnny socialize with her teammates and decide to get Johnny's attention "OK, now that we've gotten ourselves acquainted we have to get going we still have a long drive ahead of us."
"Awwww," both Johnny and Zombina bummly said unison.
As they made their way out of the airport and into a car that was waiting for them before Johnny opens the car door to the passenger side he turned to the three demis "Hey girls do you mind if I ride with just Smith I kind of feel like I oh her an apology." Johnny requested.
The girls didn't feel like that would be an issue so they agreed including Smith to let him ride with Smith alone on their way to their destination the car ride was silent for a moment until Jonathan decided to talk to Smith.
"So how long of you been working for the military?" Johnny asked.
"Long enough to get a raise." Smith commented, with made Johnny chuckle a bit "Do you mind if I ask you a question?"
Johnny just calmly agreed by saying "shoot."
"Why did you get bummed when we told you that your stuff is already on its way here?"
"Well there was a friend of mine that I wanted to say goodbye to you before I left the US she was my only friend out of everyone in the neighborhood I was at and I considered her my best friend." He sadly responded.
Smith couldn't help but feel bad hearing that and decide to tell him "I'm sorry Johnny if I knew I would've brought you to the neighborhood to say your goodbyes before we left but I can at least tell you this when we get to Kyoto I'll get in contact with finding her number so that you can stay in touch if you want."
Hearing her kindness, he couldn't help but felt happy and little relieved as well have a little smile "Thank you, Smith"
They were able to reach a city District filled with lots of people as well as the traffic they got stuck in, Johnny decided to tell Smith "you know Smith I got to say you're not bad for a human."
"Ahh, thanks?" She commented.
"No, seriously that does mean a lot because a lot of humans I know are mean and don't give me or others the time a day unless their human and by looking at your teammates you seem to be a pretty good leader." He elaborated.
Hearing his comment made Smith felt a little special from his comments which she couldn't help but smile.
"Which is why I apologize in advance." He said calmly.
Confused by what he's apologizing for Smith asked him "For what."
He pulled out a teargas grenade from the sleeve of his hoodie and simply said "This" pulled the pin and shouted "Teargas!" Then took his hood from his hoodie and cover his face and placed it in a cup holder that was placed in between their seat.
Smith was coughing and gasping for air with tears in her I only managed to call him a "little bastard" as they got out the car he ran fast as he with Smith trying to breathe with tears in her she managed to pull out her phone and contacted one of her teammates while coughing "everyone (gasp) he escaped (small cough, gasps) get ready we're hunting that little bastard him down now!"
To be continue…
