Shinobu's story
Chapter 1: Greetings, and a battle!
It was a dark and dreary day as rain poured down on a cab headed for Hintana. There was boy, a little gloomy, in the back seat. As he looked out the window he started to think back, back to a simpler time, back to his childhood. The cab passed an old playground. The cab passed by an old playground. This brought back more memories. His thoughts where interrupted
by the cabby.
"Hey we're almost there," He informed the boy."
The boy, not turning his head to face the cabby, acknowledged the cabby
with a slight sigh.
"This weather sure is depressing, huh?' the cabby said trying to make
conversation.
"Yes it is," replied the boy timidly.
The boy was a little distracted, he was trying to remember his childhood,
but couldn't. It seemed more like a dream than a memory. Besides more
"recent" memories came to mind.
"So what's a young boy like you doing traveling on your own?" asked the
cabby, still a little uncomfortable.
"Huh, oh yeah, uh.. just visiting some family," the boy lied calmly.
He had told this lie often, He was constantly on the go, on the run.
"Ah, where here!" said the cabby, thankful the uncomfortable situation will
soon be over.
"That'll be Forty-three, ninety-nine," the cabby said.
The boy gave a fifty and instructed to keep the change. He felt a little guilty about the mood he put on. Rain poured on his head put he didn't rush
nor try to shield himself from the weather. He started to think back to when he was back at the Kana Gawa Airport. (As is the town where Hintana
house is, via book 6) He had a strange conversation, with the manager.
* * * * * *
"What? Oh, sorry this isn't a inn anymore," Keitaro explained.
"What? Really your ad's still on this "places to go" wall. Though, it's
pretty old." The boy said.
"I'm sorry for the inconvie..." Keitaro trailed off as rainwater began to pour on him. As he looked up at the shotty repair job, he remembered being
punched into orbit, by Naru, and the hole he made.
"Uhh, hello?" the boy said.
"On second thought, I could always use another person paying rent," Keitaro
explained.
Later Keitaro told the Hintana housers that they'd be getting a new guy.
"What? You can't be serious!" the girls exclaimed.
"You can't let guys stay at a girls dorm." Naru said.
Just then collected rainwater broke trough a weak spot in the roof, onto
Keitaro.
Keitaro not phased by this sort'a thing anymore, he still had tears streaming down his face though, said "I we don't, we're not gonna have a
Hintana house!"
* * * * * *
The boy had reached the top of the stairs. The rain splattered on him, but he didn't care. He always reacted... differently than others, especially to pain or potential pain. He wore a black coat, with a white collared shirt and pants. On his face he wore a down and weary expression. He had black hair, and black, thoughtful eyes. He was strong yet scrawny looking, and
tall for his age. Unbeknownst to the boy, the Hintana residents had gathered on the balcony
to get a good look at their new guest.
"He looks boring," Su said half asleep.
"And weak," Motoko added.
"Hey we need the money," Kitsune said.
"The monies! The monies!" Su said.
"He looks... familiar," Shinobu said as she stared into the boy, roughly
her size and age.
" What still gawking at that boy? EEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWW! Shinomu's got another
crush!" Su said tauntingly.
"What?!," said Shinobu, a bright red across her face.
"Hau-haauu-speeewwwwww!" sneezed the boy, remembering where he was- in the
rain. He moved to knock at the door.
"I guess I'll just stay here for a while." The boy thought to himself. After running away from home it's been hard to call a new place home. The
boy, and his rent money where welcomed with open arms.
"Hi I'm Kenji Ausamatu," he said to them ", from American."
"If you do anything weird I'll hurt you, by the way I'm motoko," motoko
warmly threatened.
"Su'll break your legs if you touch my bananas!" Su joked, "by the way, I'm
Su!"
"Hi, shug' I'm Kitsune."
Keitaro said, "uh here's the paper work, and I'm Keitaro."
"Thanks," replied Kenji.
"Oh and watch out for most of the girls here, particularly Naru," Keitaro
said.
"What was that?" Naru popped out of nowhere, pissed.
"Uh, I can ...Kkkyyyyaaaaa," Keitaro was cut short as he was sent into
orbit," that was Nnnnaaaarrruuuu."
"Uhhhh... heh, heh." Kenji said uncomfortably.
Up in Kenji's room, Kenji began to unpack, when he heard a knocking at the
door.
"Uh sorry about the girl's hostility. They're a little sour because of the weather, oh and that another guy is staying here. Oh and also 'cause the dorms falling apart, oh and because I saw them in the bath the other day oh
a...." Keitaro was cut short by Kenji.
"Yeah I get it," Kenji said.
"Ha, ha, ha, ha!" they laughed together.
"Don't worry the girls will warm up to you in to time," Keitaro reassured.
"Oh man, why am I so out of breath?" Shinobu said, wrapped in a towel in
the hot springs.
It had been a few days since Kenji had moved in to Hintana house. Since
Kenji had arrived Shinobu was feeling a little nervous. But only around Kenji. Thankfully Kenji stayed mostly to himself. He woke up earlier than everyone else, goes of somewhere after eating breakfast he made himself. No
one knows where he goes, or what he does, but he always has money, and
comes home tired and weary. Most of the time he also came home looking trumpets, but some times he came home looking defeated. This led the girls
to believe it was some kind of sport or competition.
"Ever since he came... I've been so..." Shinobu thought out loud.
"Kapoon," went that thing by most baths, letting water flow out of it.
"I guess its cause of him..." Shinobu continued.
""What's? Who?" Kitsune's voice sounded from behind Shinobu.
"Ack! Who? What?" Shinobu stuttered.
Kitsune then shot Shinobu one of her trade mark smiles.
"Heh, heh talking about Keitaro? Or... about Kenji!" Kitsune taunted. "No, uh nothing like that ha, ha... uhhh... I was just wondering where, uh, the, uh, extra ingredients went... Kenji must've eaten them for breakfast, heh, heh..." Shinobu lied, "I have to go, now, the I've been in the bath to
long."
As Shinobu hurried out of the bath Kitsune opened one of her eyes and thought, "Hmmm... I may have failed with Keitaro and Naru, but maybe I can
still play cupid with Shinobu and Kenji!"
As Shinobu hurried out of the bath she accidentally ran into Kenji, they
crashed hard, both not looking where they where going. Through her thin towel Kenji could feel certain parts of her, and Shinobu in turn could feel him up against those certain parts. Bright strips of red went across their
faces and Shinobu let out a slight shriek.
"What's going on here?" Kitsune yelled, as she was the first to enter.
"Oh boy," Kenji said.
"You perverted troll, Urashima! Hyyaaahh!" motoko yelled in the other room.
"It wasn't me!" Keitaro pleaded, before being sent into orbit.
"Hey what're you doing to poor little' Shinobu?" Kitsune said.
"No it wasn't him, I wasn't looking where I was going," Shinobu reasoned.
"Uhhh, who did Keitaro violate if he was in here alone?" Naru's voice
sounded from the same room.
"Then it must have been... Ausamatu!" Motoko deducted.
"Oh boy," Kenji repeated, as that's all that came to mind, as the two power hitters burst into the room, seeing them in their "compromising" situation.
Kenji's arms had wrapped around Shinobu in the confusion, enraging motoko instantly, "Kenji! Hyyaaahh!" Motoko yelled as she brought her blade down
toward Kenji.
Nothing came to mind, but instinct took over, he lightly pushed Shinobu out of the way of Motoko's blade, and took s short step back. The blade crashed centimeters away from Kenji, and he just withstood the sword's impact shock wave. Dust and splinters where every where, but as it cleared, Motoko was
surprised that her target was unscathed but he also was very calm.
"Even the shock wave from my blade would have knocked out a weakling like
you!" Motoko argued.
"Yeah well, maybe I'm not so weak?" Kenji said calmly, "Oh, and please
forgive me."
"Huh," Motoko said. As Kenji punched her in the face with his left, and followed through with a right jab to the hand knocking the blade out of her
hand.
"I don't like to hit girls, but when you draw a weapon and strike, I don't
see you as a girl, or as a man, but as a warrior,"
"Why you!" Naru Screamed as she began to punch him into orbit.
"Weeeeeeee," Su yelled, as she began to swing from a door into Kenji foot
first.
"Stop!!!" Yelled Shinobu at the top of her lungs.
Su and Naru stopped mid-air, and Kenji's counter attack was broken off, as
they stared confused at Shinobu.
"Uhhh.. Kenji is innocent," Shinobu said.
"Huh? Well, I'm keeping an eye on you," Naru said.
"No comment," Kenji said with any comment.
"Sorry for the trouble," Shinobu said.
"No problem," Kenji replied.
"Wow you knocked motoko out pretty good," Kitsune said.
And as if on cue, Motoko's eye's opened up, glowing a possed glow.
"I won't allow a weakling like you to be the one who defeats me!" Motoko
said, "I challenge you to a duel!"
"OOOOOHHHHHH!" Su screamed.
"This ought ta' be interesting!" Kitsune said.
"Uh... what's this for?" Kenji asked as he looked at an eight-tenth century
bastard sword. (From Motoko's collection in her closet, via book 4)
" Get ready!" motoko said.
"Shouldn't we stop them?" Shinobu innocently asked.
"You know trying would be useless, " Kitsune replied, "Besides Kenji beat
Motoko good last time! So who are you betting on, your boyfriend?"
"Yeah sur... Whaaaa? No it's nothing like that!" Shinobu screamed out in
the distance.
"My monies is on Shinomu's boyfriend," Su said.
"Su!" Shinobu said.
"I'll bet on kendo girl, speaking out of experience," Keitaro said.
"Get ready," Motoko said. "I won't underestimate him again!" She thought to her self.
"Well at least let me use my sword," Kenji said.
He then threw away his bastard sword and took a cross from around his neck.
It was as long and wide as a sword hilt.
"What?" Motoko asked.
Motoko stayed silent as Kenji took the cross up to his left had, out reached ready for impact. The small end of the cross was sharp and was used
to make an incision. Blood began to drip from his wounds.
"EEEEEEKKKKK!!!" Shinobu let out a small shriek.
"Righteous Blade," Kenji screamed as he pulled the cross from his wound. As he did a magic blade appeared out of no where. Its blade glowed with power.
"Woo," the girls let out, except for motoko, who said, "I won't be tricked
by you again!"
Motoko leaped high into the air. Kenji's eyes didn't follow her, he knew no
mater what attack she did, she wouldn't be able to hit him if he where behind where she was when she started the jump, because you can't change
direction in midair.
He kept his eyes on the spot she was when she jumped up. Then he passed it;
he turned around to make a counter attack.
Motoko's blade landed hard into the ground, a few feet from Kenji. As she
turned around she begun to say, "Stop running! Cowar..."
She was cut off as Kenji's blade came at her and she just narrowly parried it. Their blades met each other again and again. They where equally fast but Kenji's strength pushed motoko back with every hit. Then finally with a
smirk on his face he jumped back, Motoko put out her blade expecting to receive an attack. This was a fatal mistake. Kenji saw this and struck with
all his might at her outstended sword.
The force of the strike knocked her blade out of her hand. It landed to the left of them. Motoko ran for it but so did Kenji. She leaped for it But as
she was on the floor reaching for it. Kenji landed on it, Feet first.
"It's over," Kenji said as he lowered his blade to Motoko's face.
"No..." motoko said as she fainted.
"Yeah! That was awesome!" the girls began to carry on.
"He was all, but then she started to..." Su said excitedly.
"I guess I'll take my leave," Kenji said.
The girls stared at him as he out them all in a dower mood.
A few days later...
A man shadowed in silhouette walked by Hintana house. The girls in that house had made their newest member very happy. They cheered him up. He was
usually down.
He had found a new home. Hintana house had a way of being every one's home.
"Soon Kenji, soon," The man said, "Ha, ha, ha!"
