"Asuka seriously, again?" Dad scolds me as we walk home.
I got in trouble on school again for getting into a fight with a creep. They just have to make it a big deal even for a few scratches. The guy didn't stood a chance.
I didn't even get serious! Aaaaaaaaaaand they forced me to stay after school.
"This is the fifth time in the month now." Dad keeps on was late afternoon. The sky was orange. The sun starts to go down. And it was calmly quiet.
"Are you even listening at me?" Dad asked me suddenly. He stopped and turned his head to look at me, I didn't listen at all. I could only look at the ground. He frowned and starts walking again.
"You can't keep getting into meaningless fights all the time. What do you even gain?" He says to me concerned. I could only stay quiet as I can.
"You keep fighting, but for what?" That sentence caught my attention. He stops and turned around. "Like your Grandpa said. You are but an independent sword, without a compatible shield." Why is he quoting grandpa? I still don't get what that means at he has the right to say anything. He used to beat up people worldwide back in the day.
"If you keep on fighting without a purpose, you won't improve yourself as you keep on fighting inexperienced people." Dad said.
"You won't feel any satisfaction when you look down on the weak." Dad's tone became much lighter. "If you lose doing your best, you learn from your mistakes and keep growing. Keep on winning without feeling defeat ever, and you will no longer know the feeling of motivation." Dad said to me in a calmer tone.
"You are just a big fish in a small pond. That was something Ken once told a fighter a long time ago." That's deep.
"Listen, I want you to know that fighting for those you care is worth many things." Dad…
We arrived at our home. It stills hold the traditional Japanese house style back from the Edo greeted us by the door.
"Asuka, how did it go?" Mom asked me concerned. "It went well. Don't worry about it." I gave her a bright smile.
"I am going to take a shower now." Dad suddenly said and went to the other room. "Ah Ryu, there's newly freshen clothes at the bathroom. I'm just notifying." Mom told Dad. Dad looked at Mom and nodded. I swear I saw Mom smiling happily. Geez, get a room!
After a while, Grandpa and I were having a conversation in his bedroom sitting on comfy cushions."Gotten yourself in a fight again?" Grandpa started the first question. "If it was a fistfight, then it would have been more interesting for sure. GYAHAHAHA!" Grandpa laughed out loud. It's his thing after all, laughing like that.
"You look quite unsatisfied. Care to tell your old gramps your problems?" Grandpa happily asked me.
"It's just... It's just that the people I have fought just keeps wuzzing out. Like they break easy or something." I pouted.
"When do I get to fight it all out?""Fufufu..." Grandpa suddenly giggled.
"What's so funny?" I asked him really annoyed. I was taking it very heavy it seems.
"You sure are like your father back then." Grandpa grinned noticeably.
"Wait what..?" I sat there dumbfounded.
"But I guess you're far worst. GYAHAHA" Grandpa bursted out of laughter. I felt even more annoyed.
"Your father was also very eager to fight someone stronger. Motivated to grow stronger and stronger." Grandpa told about Dad's past.
"His sensei or your other Grandpa, Gouken is a very close friend of mine." Grandpa says amused.
"I know that, grandpa..." I replied unamused.
"Your father has been living with this principle since his youth." Grandpa said. What principle?
"There will always be someone stronger than you in this world." Grandpa finally said it.
"I'm suggest that you keep that phrase in mind." Grandpa lectured me. "It might help you when you become a Shinobi." Grandpa winked at me."And don't forget what I told you a while back as well." Grandpa exclaimed.
"I won't Grandpa. I'll live with it." I reassured him.
After finishing talking to Grandpa, I went outside to the garden. There was Dad kneeling in the middle of the field. He wore a regular white T-shirt and track-pants. He was also barefooted. He finally stood up, and I went behind the corner to get out of sight. It felt like stalking, to be then started to do some kind of pose... Is this some kind of a training?
(AU notes: It's hard to explain the whole demo. Look up this on YouTube: 'Street Fighter Assassin's Fist Kata Mike Moh'. There should be ESPN on the title of the video.)
It seems that he has finished the demo. I was surprised. That he still kept training even after marrying Mom. Most fighters had to retire when they get married. I guess that didn't stop Dad. Then I suddenly remembered the phrase Grandpa mentioned.
"There will always be someone stronger than you in this world."
Maybe Dad still has the motivation to become stronger. Maybe he still wants to get stronger. Maybe that's why Mom likes him. Why did I just conclude that?
Dad has always been super strong. That's one of the things I love about.
He's doing something again. I took a closer look.
His eyes were closed. He was waving his arms up and down. Then his arms drew a circle in front. Now he was doing a karate stance. Stretching his arms and getting his hands closer together. Then he changed his pose to going back and held his hands together on the stomach area to form a sphere or something. Plus he was doing everything so slow. Then I saw a blue light shining on his hands. He opened his eyes and looked at it for a moment and then suddenly fire it out like you see in a Dragon Ball episode as he shouted out 'HADOUKEN'. A blue sphere traveled towards away from him and flew up the sky.
(AU notes: If you don't get the demo, look up for: Assassin's Fist Ryu teaser. Also look up for: SSF4 Ryu ending.)
I was very shocked. What just happened now? He literally shot out a fireball out from his hands. And that looked like it could pack a punch. He then looked at his left clutching fist. I then ran to him. He then suddenly noticed me in a surprised expression.
"Asuka?" He called out. I stopped my track in front of him.
"DAD! That was AWESOME!" I looked at him in awe. "Can you teach me that?" I begged him like some little kid.
"Hold on, hold on. Calm down Asuka." Dad tried to calm me down.
"Pretty, pretty, pretty please?" I literally kneeled down and sighed. Was that a yes?
"Alright. I will teach you before you start high school." Dad smiled at me. I smiled as well in happiness.
"REALLY?! AWESOME!" I shouted joyful. Dad just stood there smiling with his arms I can become strong like Dad too!
Here is my attempt on a Senran Kagura story. I'll be doing Homura next. This story will be about the four leaders only (Hanzo, Crimson, Gessen and Hebijo).If I get any more ideas, then I will make a 'Part 2'. So post in the review or PM me for ideas. The fics I'm making for this series will connect with each other.
It's going to be exciting! Unless I have to quit :P
