Furi Kuri: Hero
Thanks for everyone being patient and waiting for the long overdue season 2 of the series. If you haven't read Fooly Cooly Redemption yet I suggest you do before reading this story. The first two chapters are just going over Kenji and Kaho's past and how they fit into the story. I'm really excited about this and hope yall like it as well. If there is anyone with connections into the manga industry please recommend me!
I do not own Fooly Cooly or the characters except my own.
Kenji Chronicles
Kenji came home from soccer practice annoyed and frustrated. The record for the team so far in the year was 3-6, they had a game next Friday against their longtime rivals Kong Middle School, and to top it all off he was attacked by a crazed women riding a moped wielding a guitar on the way home! His head was still throbbing with pain. He went into his room and saw a picture of his dad sitting on the dresser. His dad was hit by a stray bullet during a bank robber 10 years ago and his mom has been providing for them both ever since. Kenji threw his book bag on to the bed and went to the bathroom.
Kenji opened the medicine cabinet and rubbed some ointment on his forehead where the crazy women hit him with her guitar. When Kenji was done he noticed a small horn was growing out of his forehead.
"Aw man, are you serious? I can't go to school tomorrow like this."
Kenji tried to push it back in but it kept popping back out. Kenji began to get even more frustrated. He got a large sized band aid and taped it to his forehead to hide the horn. Kenji left the bathroom and returned to his room where he screamed in shock and horror. The weird Vespa women was in his room sitting on a suitcase playing her guitar like nothing happened!
"What the hell are you doing here?" Kenji screamed out.
"Keep your voice down, you'll disturb the neighbors." She simply replied.
"That still doesn't explain what you're doing in my room!" Kenji shouted even louder, his face now turning red with anger.
"I owe you one." She said.
Kenji gave her a puzzled look.
"I owe you one for hitting you on the head with my guitar."
"But you did that on purpose." Kenji said.
They both stood in an awkward silence for a moment staring at each other before Kenji commented.
"I can't believe you broke into my house."
"I didn't your mom let me in!" She said smiling.
Kenji's face went from mellow to freak out. He quickly rushed down stairs to find his mom had just come home from work. Kenji's mom worked at a local dry cleaners and made just enough for them to get by.
"Mom there's some weird girl up in my roo-….."
"Oh so I see you met Haruko." His mom said smiling as she hung up her coat.
"You know her?" Kenji asked astonished.
"Why yes dear I met her when I was leaving work and hired her as a house keeper. She's dirt cheap, only 12 dollars a day, I feel bad swindling her like that."
Kenji ran back upstairs before his mom could finish. Kenji gave Haruko and angry face showing he did not approve of her being here.
"Don't worry I won't cause you any trouble." She said as innocent as possible
"Yeah right, just stay out of my way and don't touch any of my stuff." Kenji said as he went and laid down on his bed facing away from Haruko.
The room was silent for a few minutes with just the sounds of the seconds ticking away on the clock and Haurko strumming strings, tuning her guitar.
"So I see by your gym bag you're a soccer player." Haruko said still tuning her guitar.
"Forget that!" Kenji burst out saying, not wanting to hear the voice of a woman who hit him in the head with a guitar earlier. "What's up with this horn growing out of my forehead after you hit me in the head with a guitar?" Kenji asked with a balled up fist clearly wanting an answer.
Haruko could tell Kenji had a fiery spirit about him. Too bad her heart already belonged to another. Haruko set her guitar down and gently got up and slowly walked over to Kenji. Kenji now started to feel uncomfortable. He never had been this close to a girl who was giving off sensual signals before. Haruko was now caressing Kenji's leg and leaning ever closer to him. Kenji could practically taste her peppermint breath, and smell her strawberry perfume.
"Haven't you ever heard that if a girl likes you she does stupid things to get your attention?" Haruko asked in a slow gentle whisper, trying to hold back the laughter of seeing Kenji breaking out in sweat.
"But-" Kenji began, but Haruko stopped him by putting a finger over his mouth.
"Shshshshsh" she said. "We wouldn't want mom to hear her little boy become a man tonight would we!"
Kenji was now pushed over the limit of being freaked out and jumped up and ran to the other side of the room. Away from Haruko. While he wasn't looking Haruko smiled to herself at her genius ways to turn the tide of the conversation.
"This is really weird, who are you?" Kenji asked partially mad because he was still nervous when it came to girls.
"I'm just a simple runaway girl down on her luck." Haruko replied with a big yawn.
"No, really who are you?" Kenji asked now calmer.
"I'm an alien!" Haruko said looking at him with wild eyes.
The comment proved Kenji's suspicions from earlier. This girl was crazy. He had a crazy house keeper as a guest!
"Anyway this is my room and there aren't any other rooms in the house so I guess you will have to go down stairs and sleep on the couch." Kenji said smirking cockily.
"But this could be the last time you have a girl up in your room. Don't you want to take advantage of the moment. Besides wasn't daylight savings time yesterday? Which means we will have an extra hour into the night to do whatever we want."
Haruko loved teasing Kenji sexually. It was funny to see the way he would react. Kenji was now sweating even more and had a sour look on his face. He opened his door signaling her to leave. Haruko got up an grabbed her things replying to his request, but before she left she leaned in and gave Kenji a kiss on the lips, almost sure that made him wet his pants!
The Next Day
Kenji woke up the next morning with a pounding headache. Kenji automatically put the blame solely on Haruko's guitar to the head yesterday. He looked at his alarm clock and saw that he was late for school. He scrambled around in his room for fresh clothes and grabbed his backpack. Kenji then ran downstairs to grab a quick snack. Haruko was already up and making pancakes wearing a chef outfit.
"What the hell?" Kenji yelled. "If you're a house keeper you were supposed to wake me up for school."
"But you and I know I'm more than just a house keeper." Haruko teased through a big grin.
Kenji's face turned red with anger, but he didn't have time to argue with her he had to get to school and he knew he was going to be super late if he took his bike.
"Look can you give me a ride to school?" Kenji asked finding it hard to muster up the words to ask someone like her for help.
"Awwwwww, is sweet little tough boy Kenji asking me for help? Haruko teased in a baby voice.
Kenji started to grind his teeth in anger.
"You got one more time to make fun of me. I never hit a girl in my life, but I swear to God….."
"Calm down Connan, I'll give you a ride to school." Haruko said flipping pancakes.
Kenji waited outside next to Haruko's moped while she changed clothes. Kenji noticed something suspicious about Haruko's ride. It gave off a strange aura and Kenji couldn't resist inspecting it. While checking out the ride Kenji noticed Haruko's guitar resting in the back. It didn't look like no ordinary guitar. Kenji picked up the guitar and started to play the strings a little. Kenji didn't know what it was, but for some reason he couldn't put down the guitar. It's like it was demanding for him to play it, even though he didn't know how.
All of a sudden an electrical shock went through Kenji. At that moment he couldn't move! It's like he was paralyzed, he dropped the guitar and could only stand desperately trying to get his motor functions to respond to his brains commands. The Band-Aid on his head started to move. The bump under it was growing. Kenji screamed out in horror as a giant horn started to grow out of his brain. Kenji all most went insane over what he saw next. A giant cyborgic hand pierced through the skin of his head and reaching for the sky. Kenji could feel the rest of the machine inside his head desperately trying to break free from its prison.
Haruko now came out of the house wearing a black shirt that had 2NE1 in pink letters, red jeans, and Nike's. Haruko dropped her keys at the sight of Kenji's transformation activating so early.
"Damn it!" Haruko cussed.
She grabbed her guitar off the ground and aggressively tries to beat the hand of the machine back into Kenji's head. The cyborgic machine now furious bursts out of Kenji's head in violently. The cyborg resembled something like the comic book hero Iron Man.
"Shit" Haruko whispered under her breath as the cyborgic man flew away towards the country side with a dragon shaped guitar in hand.
Kenji laid dazed and confused in a pile of empty card board boxes feeling like he had a hangover. Haruko threw him on the back of her Vespa and raced off at top speed after the machine. Kenji wasn't the only one confused; Haruko was almost certain Kenji's head was the right one. If she kept making mistakes like this it was going to take forever to release Atomsk, and would also cause her to get involved with unneeded people. Kenji now started to wake up, finding himself on the back of a Vespa racing a 100mph down narrow streets and dodging people heading towards the country.
"What the hell is going on?" He shouted in frustration as he desperately tried to hang on.
"We're taking a little detour on your way to school." Haruko shouted over the roaring of the engine.
"This is nowhere near my school!" Shouted Kenji who was now even more frustrated.
The cyborgic machine caused a path of destruction shooting missiles from its wrist and shoulder as it continued flying to its unknown destination. Haruko's tires started to melt the asphalt of the street as she picked up speed trying to catch up to the psychotic cyborg. Kenji held on tight to Haruko's shirt, but was slowly starting to loose his grip. The Iron Man like machine stopped it's marathon of rampage and turned to face his pursuers. Haruko stopped her moped and hoped off leaving a cloud of smoke in its wake. Kenji ran to a nearby bush to regurgitate his breakfast.
"You….are an annoyance." The machine said in a calm and pleasant voice before rushing Haruko at the speed of light!
Haruko held up her guitar defensively against the killer machine. Haruko slashed her guitar under his legs making him lose his footing. She raised it high in the air ready to make a final blow, but the machine delivered a kick to her gut knocking the air out of her lungs. Kenji watched the battle from a nearby bush too confused and afraid to participate, but he couldn't stand to see Haruko take a beating like she was. At this time the machine had stop using his physical power and had started using the dragon guitar he had retrieved from Kenji's head. Hellfire and brimstone now scorched the surrounding area as Haruko tried her best not to be cremated on the street. Out of nowhere Kenji jumped through the wall of flames and onto the cyborgs back trying desperately to stop him. The cyborg neither needed nor used little effort prying Kenji from his back and then throwing him to the ground.
Kenji was now looking up at the cyborg from his back. His vision was blurry and he was sure his spinel cored was snapped, but he didn't need to be in prime condition to know what was coming next. The cyborg slowly lifted his right leg ready to bring it down on Kenji's chest. Kenji couldn't believe his life was about to end right here right now. All of a sudden Haruko came up from behind and smashed the cyborg in the back of the head while simultaneously hollering out a victorious war cry. The area was quite for a moment after that, nothing but the sound of smell of burning wood and the faint sound of emergency sirens getting ever closer. Haruko still had the expression of a mad maniac written on her face. Kenji didn't know if he was in love or just like her…..going insane! After a moment Haruko's facial expression turned from crazy to caring, and she leant out a hand to help Kenji up. As Kenji used Haruko's arm for leverage to pick himself up the body of the cyborg fell to its knees and then the rest of his body fell to the floor.
"What….the hell…was that?" Kenji asked pointing to the cyborg, huffing and puffing trying to catch his breath.
"I don't know, but its dead now so it doesn't matter" Haruko said scratching her head clearly not caring.
Kenji's skin turned red.
"What do you mean it doesn't matter…that thing just came out of my head along with that weird guitar. Kenji yelled pointing to the busted mechanical object and the dragon shaped guitar.
Haruko bent down to pick up the guitar. The sirens that were heared in the distance were now getting closer and Haruko knew her mission would be compromised if she was discovered by authorities. Kenji on the other hand was still left in the dark, he was having feelings for Haruko, she was funny, crazy, and adventurous, but he couldn't tell if she had the same feelings for him, and if she didn't what was her angle. Why did she run him over? Why did she hit him in the head with her guitar? Why was she living at his house?
Haruko smiled at Kenji. His confused face and lack of the concept of the situation almost made him cute enough to date, but she chose her mission and was sticking to it. Atomsk would be freed from his prison! Even if it meant her life!
Haruko handed Kenji the guitar and whistled for her moped. The small scooter like vehicle came speeding over and then stopped to a grinding halt when it reached her.
"Look Kenji, I got to go. You see there are these bad people after me and if they catch me we will never see each other again. I'll see you at the house ok."
"You promised?" Kenji asked with a sad face.
"I promise" Haruko said making a peace sign with her left hand as she sped off.
A few minutes later a black car pulled in alongside the clutter of police and fire department vehicles. Commander Amarao stepped out of the car wearing an all-black suit and black shades. Kenji was sitting on the side walk watching the fire department put out the blaze.
"Kenji? I presume" He said as he adjusted his shades.
Kenji looked at the man but could think of nothing but his unusually large eye brows.
"My name is Commander Amarao, and we need to talk about the girl you had an encounter with here today!"
