Episode 2: History!
Daichi groggilywoke up from a rough night. But he felt a nice warmth against his right side. He rolled over to the right, hoping to snuggle into the source of the pleasant heat.
"Fufufu, I hope you had a nice sleep, Daichi-kun," a voice giggled.
Daichi slowly opened his eyes at the sound of the voice, to see Chizuru in a bed with him while she wore nothing but a night gown.
"Chizuru...san...?" Daichi mumbled as he rubbed the sleep out of his eyes. He then looked down and noticed that something was out of place. "Umm, where am I... and why am I naked?"
Chizuru giggled, "Good morning! You can sleep a little if you want!" She then blushed and looked at him cutely, "Last night was great. I won't ever forget it. You feel the same way right?"
Daichi paled as he got the wrong idea, "Are you telling me I don't remember us having sex?"
Tayura slammed the door open to the room, obviously pissed, "AHH! IT'S SO EARLY AND YOU'RE ALREADY MAKING A RACKET!"
Daichi blinked, "Tayura...right?" He looked back and forth between Chizuru and Tayura "So, I'm guessing this is your home?"
"Yeah. You fainted yesterday, and since we don't know where you live we brought you here."
Chizuru then hugged him tightly, "You were awesome yesterday, Daichi-kun! When you were battling that Hinotama, I was awestruck."
Daichi remembered the battle with the Hinotama and sighed, "So, you saw that?"
Tayura was leaning against the wall, "So, mind explaining to me what the hell you really are?"
Chizuru glared, "Tayura, shut up! Daichi-kun doesn't have to tell you anything if he doesn't want to!"
"No, he's right," Daichi interjected, "The both of you have the right to know." He then sat up and first asked a question, "Have you two ever heard of Yamata no Orochi?"
The two fox youkai shivered at the mention of the name.
"Who hasn't?" Tayura spat.
"Sunano-O was the one who killed that monster," Chizuru added.
Daichi shook his head, "There's more to the story. Susano-O wasn't the only one who took part in the battle."
The two youkai blinked in confusion.
"What do you mean, Daichi-kun?" Chizuru pleaded.
He then began tale, "Before the battle with the Orochi, Susano-O knew he could not defeat the beast on his own, so he went to seek help. He called upon the Saint Beasts to aid him in battle."
Tayura looked confused, "Saint Beasts?"
Daichi nodded, "Yes. Seiryuu the Azure Dragon, Byakko the White Tiger, Suzaku the Crimson Phoenix, Genbu the Black Tortoise, and Koryuu the Gold Dragon. The five Beasts despised the Orochi and its heinous crimes of terrorizing the land of Japan, as well as its people. So they banned together and joined Susano-O in an epic battle. Even with the power of the six celestial beings together the battle lasted eight days. It took a whole day for them just to beat one head."
The Minamoto siblings paled at that. If gods had trouble with a monster like that, then the modern world would be wiped out in a minute if Orochi ever awoke.
Daichi continued, "Kami-tachi fought a long and grueling battle against Yamata no Orochi. But with teamwork, they were able to seal him into the earth and lock him away from the eyes of humanity."
*Flashback*
A man in armor was breathing heavily, his armor nearly in pieces, and blood escaping from his head. This was the god of storms, Susano-O. He looked up to his opponent, Yamata no Orochi, a red being that was tall as a mountain. With the man were five other warriors.
One was a young man with braided blue hair and matching eyes, dressed in armor resembling that of a blue dragon. In his hand was a naginata with a long curved blade and a blue shaft that was the length of his body.
The second warrior was a muscular male who looked to be middle-aged and wore armor that resembled a white tiger complete with black stripes. He had spiky white hair and silver eyes. He carried two axes on his back and wore large gauntlets with blade-like claws.
The girl of the group had crimson long hair reaching the small of her back and matching eyes. Her armor was reminiscent of a red bird. She was carrying a yumi and a straight sword was holstered at her waist.
The eldest of the group had short and spiky black hair and black eyes. His armor was layered and looked like a black turtle. He wore also wore a straight sword at his waist but the blade looked like it was sectioned into parts. He also had a staff in his hand.
The strongest of the five was a young man with long golden hair and matching eyes. He had no weapons but wore golden armor resembling a dragon. He stared at the Orochi with disgust and contempt.
The six warriors have been battling the beast for seven days and even with the sake that made it drunk, it was a formidable opponent.
"This bastard is persistent," the white armored warrior growled.
The blue warrior laughed, "That makes it more fun when we celebrate our victory!"
The white warrior growled at his blue comrade, "Baka! Focus on the battle!"
"Shougetsu, Kibachiyo," the crimson girl called. "Quit your bickering so we can kill this thing!"
The black armored elder chuckled, "Calm yourself, Suzu-chan. Kiba-kun and Shou-kun are always like that." He looked to his gold companion, "What do you think, Koryuu-dono?"
The gold warrior only gave a solemn look, "This has has been a difficult week for all of us."
"Seijinjyu-tachi," Susano-O called, "I fear that this may be our final bout together." He looked to his comrades, "Shougetsu, Kibachiyo, Akako, Kurokawa, Koryuu, it's been an honor to fight alongside you all."
Kurokawa nodded, "As it has been an honor to fight with you, Susa-dono." His comrades, the Saint Beasts, nodded in agreement.
"There's a way to defeat the Orochi, "Koryuu spoke. "After we remove the finalhead, we can then seal it's body.
"But you saw what happened," Akako objected. "The other seven heads we cut off just flew off to the ends of the Earth!"
Koryu nodded, "I know, but there's no other way. Also, we'll have to sacrifice our physical forms to seal the Orochi's main body. If the heads revive, they won't be able to become one without first releasing the body."
Susano-O nodded, "It's a sound plan, but what of your souls?"
"We will unite our souls and create a key. When the Orochi is sealed, you will give the key to a human family of your choosing. They will be charged as the keepers of the Orochi's prison."
Akako sighed, "I should have known it was gonna come to this..."
Kibachiyo slumped, "So much for a victory party..."
Kurokawa chuckled, "It was fun while it lasted, playing human."
Shougetsu growled, "Anything to put this demon down."
Susano-O gripped the Kusanagi in his hand and pointed it toward the final head of the Orochi. "Well then, minna. Onto the final battle!"
"LET'S GO!" they all shouted as they charged toward the Orochi for the final battle.
*End Flashback*
"So it's a happy ending," Tayura assumed.
Daichi shook his head, "It's not as happy as you think. The battle had hundreds of casualties. Also, the Saint Beasts sacrificed their bodies to seal up Orochi into the entire perimeter of Kyoto. Byakko's body lies in the West, Seiryuu's in the East, Genbu's body rests in the North, Suzaku in the South, and Koryu's body rests right above the Orochi's in the center of Kyoto."
"So they died?" Chizuru asked with sadness in her voice.
"They may have died, but they pooled their souls together in order to create a seal, or a key if you will." Daichi then looked to a desk on the side and saw the Saint Seal. He grabbed and showed it to the Minamoto siblings.
"Is that it?" Tayura asked.
Daichi nodded, "This is the Saint Seal. It's the key to the Orochi's prison."
"But why do you have it?"
"This seal, as well as the Orochi's prison, has been guarded by the Minamoto Clan for generations. However, there are those who wish to take the Saint Seal and use it to awaken the Orochi." The siblings gasped. "Each head male of the clan uses the Saint Seal to become Kamen Rider Saint and defend humanity from the wrath of the Orochi."
Chizuru stared at Daichi with hearts and stars in her eyes, "So you're like a superhero!"
Daichi sweat-dropped, "I guess..."
She then got up from the bed, "Well, if you're ready to get up, Daichi-kun, the bath is warm so you can get in. Your clothes are being washed too."
Daichi blinked, "Washed?"
"I'm the one who undressed you..." Tayura answered. "Though Chizuru was going 'kyaa kyaa' while peeking between her fingers."
Chizuru smiled, "Now, into the bath."
Daichi nodded with a blush, "Hai."
Inside the bathroom, Daichi blushed heavily. "Um, Chizuru-san... Why are you taking off your clothes...?"
Halting from taking off her top, Chizuru blinked, "Because I have to watch my husband's back!"
Daichi blushed, "It's a little too soon to call me your husband..."
"Chizuru," Tayura called from the kitchen, "The pot's overflowing!"
Chizuru blanched, "Ah! Dammit! I was in the middle of preparing something to eat!" She then kissed Daichi on the cheek, making the boy blush again, "Sorry darling. Next time." She then ran to the kitchen. "C'mon Tayura! Turn it down instead of just watching!"
"You told me not to touch it before!" he argued.
"Baka! Haven't you ever heard of playing by ear?"
Inside the bath, Daichi sighed to himself as he ran his fingers through his golden locks, his braid wrapped around his neck. He then stared at his reflection in the water and whispered, "Tou-san, Kaa-san. Turns out there are youkai in this world that aren't evil in this world, after all. I wish you could meet Chizuru-san. She's very kind and beautiful... Despite being a little... assertive..." A single tear escaped from his eye. 'However, that Hinotama wanted the Seal. He must have been hired by that group who seeks to revive Yamata no Orochi. He must have found me by searching for my ki from when I was fused with Chizuru.' he then gasped, "That means..."
He was cut off when he heard the door open.
"Daichi-kun, are you still in there?" he heard. It was Chizuru. "I'm free now, so I can join you if you want..."
Daichi blushed and chuckled to himself. He knew she would be back sooner or later. "Come in," he answered.
Chizuru slid the glass door to the tub open and Daichi silently gasped at the sight that was before him. Chizuru's hair was held up in a bun with a towel, some strands of hair sticking out of the towel. She had another towel covering her front, or barely covering her front. You decide. Her skin looked so smooth and Daichi was entranced by both her eyes and her incredible bust.
Daichi moved forward in the tub, allowing Chizuru to slip in and he laid back, landing his head in between Chizuru's melons. He blushed at the feel of her skin against his own.
"Feeling better?" she chirped.
Daichi sighed, "Very."
She giggled, "I'm glad. So, how long have you been Saint?"
"A little over a year now."
"Have you fought any youkai since then?"
He shook his head, "I've been traveling a lot, trying to avoid fighting."
She blinked, "But I thought Saint was supposed to fight bad guys."
"Saint is not a soldier, Chizuru-san. Saint is a guardian of humanity." He looked up to the ceiling, "To be honest, I don't like fighting that much. But I don't like losing either. Ojii-sama taught me that losing means death."
Chizuru laid her chin atop his head, "You're very kind, Daichi-kun."
Daichi turned to face her and smiled, "Arigato, Chizuru-san. By the way, how are you and Tayura related?"
"He's just my idiot brother, but we're not related by blood. We found him 60 years ago." Daichi nodded at the answer. "So, where do you live?"
He sweat-dropped, "I don't have an apartment..."
Chizuru gaped, "WHAT! You have nowhere to live? That's it! You're living with us!"
"I wouldn't want to impose..."
Chizuru held a finger to his his mouth, effectively shutting him up, "No buts about it! We have a spare room so you can use that. I hope you at least have clothes." She then looked at him sultrily, "Or would you rather prefer to sleep in the nude...with me?"
Daichi imagined he and Chizuru sleeping together naked and he turned red, "I have clothes..." He then smiled, "I'd gladly accept your offer, Chizuru-san."
Chizuru returned the smile with her own, "Good!"
After they were done in the bath, Chizuru and Daichi were at the dining table with sandwiches.
"Go ahead and eat up," she offered.
Daichi nodded and took a sandwich in hand. 'Chizuru-san's home made meal...' "Itadakimasu," he said happily. Chizuru was glaring at him with anticipation in her eyes. He took a bite of the sandwich... And fainted right on the spot.
Daichi and Chizuru were on their way to school and Chizuru held her head down in shame.
"Sorry..." she sighed, "I didn't put the right amount of salt..."
"Don't worry about it," Daichi assured with a smile. "The taste just caught me by surprise. I can't wait until lunch, though."
"You don't have to go that far..."
Daichi shook his head, "I'm not! I mean it! Because you woke up early and tried so hard for my sake, Chizuru-san! You even went through the trouble of welcoming me into your home! More than anything, I am truly indebted to you." He flashed his trade-marked smile.
Chizuru smiled, "Thanks, Daichi-kun."
Daichi blushed and realized something. He whispered, "By the way, Chizuru-san, about the incident in the music room... We should probably stay quiet about what happened..."
Chizuru silenced him with a finger, "Don't." Daichi blinked in confusion.
"Look look, now they're staring at each other."
Daichi turned to see a couple of female students observing him and Chizuru.
"What are they talking about? They're too quiet. I can't hear them. Speak up!" urged one girl.
"You're talking too loud, Yuki!" her companion panicked.
Daichi turned to several directions and saw that several students were gathering, trying to listen on the couple's conversation. Daichi was starting to feeling a little uneasy.
"I...don't feel so good..." he cringed. "I'm not good with drawing so much attention...!"
Chizuru winked at him, "Two beautiful people together probably seems like a crime to them. I guess we just draw attention."
He deadpanned, "First of all, that makes no sense. And secondly, you may be beautiful, but..."
"Huh? Minamoto-san and the transfer student?"
"He works fast..."
"It's ecchi."
"He only got here yesterday."
"At this hour of the morning?"
"She snatched him up."
"Eh? Already?"
"They're too close to each other."
"It's ecchi."
"His name is Yamamoto Daichi."
"His face is kinda..."
"That type is surprisingly..."
"It's still ecchi"
Whispers like these, and more, echoed amongst the crowds of students that spoke behind their backs. Daichi was really getting uncomfortable as he started breathing heavily. He took a deep breath and did his best to ignore the outward voices.
Chizuru whispered into Daichi's ear and raised a finger to his eye level, "See! The walls have ears and the doors have eyes... There's nothing but ears here... So we'll talk about the important stuff later... OK?"
Daichi nodded but gasped when he saw the condition Chizuru's hands were in. "Your hands...! What happened to them...? Did you get hurt yesterday?"
Chizuru tried to hide her hands behind her, "N...No! I didn't! It's nothing!"
"But they're always so smooth and pretty...!"
"SMOOTH?"
"Yesterday...They already..."
"What happened..What!"
Chizuru hugged Daichi from behind, "C'mon, Daichi-kun... Are you trying to put on display?"
He stuttered, "N-No... I'm not... Gomen."
She giggled, "But that wouldn't be such a bad thing. Besides, about my hands... It's because of this." She revealed a bento, wrapped in a checkered napkin.
Daichi blinked, "A bento?"
Chizuru nodded, "Yes! You... You probably already realized it, but... I'm not very good at cooking. So... chopping, cooking, and frying... I... ended up chopping, cooking, and frying my fingers as well..." She blushed a little out of embarrassment.
Daichi blushed as well, "So, it was for me..." He then took Chizuru's hands in his own, "So that's what happened... Chizuru-san, thank you for trying so hard. I really mean it." he smiled, "Next time, let me teach you how to cook!"
Chizuru smiled and nodded.
"Waah~..." was the average reaction of the display from the crowd. Daichi got nervous again and pulled his hands away from Chizuru.
"Gomen..." he blushed.
Chizuru shook her head, "No... It's OK..."
Daichi looked up and saw Chizuru's serene smile and blushed. 'Why... Is she so pretty...? Chizuru-san is pretty. I thought so the first time i saw her. But now it's not just that... She's not just pretty, but beautiful and cute. When I look at her, my chest hurts. And yet... I can't stop looking at her.'
Chizuru looked to Daichi, "Hey, would you do anything for me?"
Daichi blinked, "Eh? What's up?"
She then put on a serious face,"There's another reason we should keep quiet about the music room... Daichi-kun."
He arched an eyebrow, "There is...?"
"Would you do anything for me?"
"What do you mean by that?" Daichi was getting concerned. "Is there something wrong?"
Chizuru grabbed his hand and they started walking faster. "Those guys are here."
"Those guys...?"
"Monster Hunters." (Dum dum Duuuummmm~!)
Daichi cringed slightly, "Monster Hunters...?"
Chizuru nodded, "They're terrifying people."
"Ojii-sama told me stories about them," Daichi agreed, "They can be ruthless when they want to be. However, I've never seen one personally."
"Pray that you don't. If they... If the hunters discover my true form it will surely be the end. There will be nowhere to run. They'll chase me to the ends of the Earth. They're hunting dogs." She whispered into his ears, "There's a rumor that the hunters are hidden within the faculty."
Daichi paled, "Are you serious... All that just to find you...? This is bad...?"
She gave him a pleading look, "So... Daichi-kun, we should be as discreet as possible."
Daichi took her hands in his again, "You don't have to worry, Chizuru-san. On my honor as a Kamen Rider, I'll protect you with everything that I am!"
Chizuru smiled, "Daichi-kun...!"
He returned the smile, "Chizuru-san..."
And cue the cock-block.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET AT THIS HOUR!"
See what I mean?
Daichi yelped and turned to see Akane glaring at him and Chizuru. Akane blinked, "...It's you, Yamamoto-kun."
Dauchi sighed, "Ah, Asahina-san. Please don't surprise me like that. My ears are a little sensitive. By the way, thank you for yesterday."
Akane glared, "Sure... But you didn't take my advice did you...?"
He sweat-dropped, "Gomen..."
Chizuru glared at Akane and looked her up and down.
"What are you looking at..." Akane glared.
"Hmph," Chizuru scoffed softly, her breasts bouncing with an audible "Bayoing~."
Akane blushed, "SO WHAT!" The two girls glared at each other.
"Umm... you two shouldn't fight..." Daichi said nervously.
Chizuru smiled, "Akane-chan. thank you for always taking care of that idiot... Tayura."
Akane returned the smile, "It's no big deal. He's a classmate after all. As a Class Rep, it's my obligation to help students who are failing."
Daichi was confused. Weren't they going to beat the crap out of each other a second ago? That's girls for ya, Daichi-kun.
Chizuru grinned, "Fufu... Ah. I see. As a Class Rep... Since I always see you two together, it's easy to get the wrong idea."
Akane gaped and blushed, "Huh? What... What do you mean "wrong idea"...? He and I aren't..."
She smirked, "Ohh. He's always talking about you at home, so it's easy to get that impression." She turned to the crowd, "Right, Tayura?"
"Wa...! Wait a minute!" Tayura yelled from the crowd. "Don't involve me!"
"Minamoto...!" Akane gasped.
Chizuru walked over to Tayura with a big smirk on her face, "Perfect timing, Tayura. I wanted to ask you."
Tayura wore a look of embarrassment while Akane was still blushing. Daichi could only look on in confusion as to what Chizuru was trying to accomplish.
Tayura scoffed and looked away, "How could I?" Akane gaped and looked down at the floor.
Daichi carefully approached Akane, so as not to incur his classmate's wrath, "Are you OK, Asahina-san...?"
Akane shook her head, "Don't worry about it. It's not like I think anything of Minamoto anyway." She then smiled, "But thank you, Yamamoto-kun. You're very kind." Daichi returned the smile with his own.
Chizuru looked to Tayura, "Hey Tayura, you'd better tell her honestly that you like her. Otherwise, she might end up making a pass at Daichi-kun..."
"I'm not kidding!" Tayura denied, "Why are trying to force me together with that four-eyes?"
Daichi sweat-dropped while Akane just got madder. Tayura then quickly hugged Chizuru and the crowd went "Ohhhh...!"
"I only love you, Chizuru!" he proclaimed.
Chizuru decked Tayura upside the head, "What the hell are you doing in front of Daichi-kun! Baka!" She then turned to Daichi, "Daichi-kun! There is really nothing between me and this moron!"
The blue gem in the Saint Seal suddenly glowed. Daichi suddenly gained a blue streak in his hair, the streak sticking out of the side his hairline, and some specks of blue in his eyes This wasn't noticed by anyone.
Daichi then grinned and said dramatically as he fell to the floor, "Oh, Chizuru-san...! How could you...? You have chosen your only brother over me? The one who has pledged himself to you...?" Chizuru gaped and was about to cry when Daichi kissed her on the nose, earning him a confused look from the kitsune in disguise, while he laughed. "Gotcha! You're so easy to fool, Chizuru-san!" The streak in his hair and the specks in his eyes then disappeared as quickly as they came.
Chizuru pouted, her cheeks red and puffed, and tackled him playfully, "Oh, Daichi-kun... You're so bad~!" Daichi laughed at this.
Tayura got up from the floor and cursed to himself, "Dammit... I thought I should come to school for once and this is how it turns out... But this idiot couple has been on my nerves since we woke up."
Akane overheard his rant and gaped, "Since we...? Woke up...?" She then turned and glared at Daichi, "Yamamoto-kun...you...!"
Daichi then explained, "You see, I don't have an apartment of my own since I just moved to this city a few days ago. So Chizuru-san and Tayura offered to let me stay with them."
"But what about the dorms?"
Daichi sweat-dropped, "When Ojii-sama sent me here, he unfortunately forgot to pay for lodging at the school's dorms."
Akane had to nod, accepting the answer he gave. It was a sound argument.
Chizuru then grinned and hugged Daichi from behind, her breasts pushing against the back of his head, "That's right! Daichi-kun stayed at my house." She winked, "From dusk until dawn... Don't you wanna know what we were doing, Akane-chan?"
Akane gaped, "What do you mean...by that!"
Daichi blushed, "We didn't do anything, Chizuru-san..."
Chizuru giggled, "I know, but I sure tried."
"Not without me stopping you," he retorted.
Akane got mad now, "As Yamamoto-kun's classmate...and as his Class Rep, I am demanding this! Break it off with Yamamoto-kunright now! Illicit sexual relationships are a violation of school rules!"
Daichi glared at Akane softly. The black gem in the Saint Seal glowed this time. When this happened, a black ahoge poked out of Daichi's hair and black specks appeared in his eyes. He released himself from Chizuru's grip and walked over to Akane. She shivered under his gaze as it had a commanding presence. But she did not notice the specks in his eyes nor the ahoge, as did no one else.
"Asahina-san," he said calmly, "I assure that there is nothing illicit in the relationship between Chizuru-san and I. I appreciate your concern, but I must ask that you not meddle in our relationship. Any thing that happens will be on my head and I shall take full responsibility for any actions that we may take during the course of our relationship." The specks and ahoge then disappeared. He was starting to breathe a little unevenly. 'It happened again...?' he thought to himself.
Akane backed away from Daichi a little fearfully, "...Yamamoto-kun...?"
Daichi blushed and got nervous, "...Excuse me...!" He then ran off to the school entrance.
"Daichi-kun...!" Chizuru called out, which fell on def ears.
As he ran through the street, several thoughts went through Daichi's head. 'Why do I feel so embarrassed? Is it because I was seen with Chizuru-san? Because of these rumors? Because Chizuru-san and Asahina-san were fighting? Not to mention, they're starting to stir up again. Could it be that the enemy is nearby? Anyway, I should focus on getting to school...'
His thoughts trailed off as he came across a middle-aged man, standing at the school gate. He had a bokuto in his hand and cast a glare to Daichi. He felt a foreboding feeling coming from the older man.
'Could he be...' Daichi thought to himself as Akane caught up to him.
"I finally caught up to you," she rasped. "Yamamoto-kun, I still wanna talk..." She trailed off as she saw the man as well. "Yatsuka-sensei? What's the matter, Sensei?"
Daichi turned to Akane, "You know him?"
"Yeah, he's the guidance councellor. But this is odd. There's no dress code inspection today." She turned to see that Daichi was looking nervous. "What's the matter, Yamamoto-kun?"
"He smells dangerous... Let's just say I've bad experiences with people with a look like that..."
"Don't worry," she assrured. "You're still new here, so you don't have to woory about the guidance councellor." The two started walking and were several inches behind Yatsuka when all of a sudden...
"Stop," he ordered. They stopped. "Yamamoto. You plan on just walking in?"
Akane then turned to Daichi, "Yamamoto-kun..." He turned to her. "Ill leave you in Yatsuka-sensei's hands..." And she walked off.
Daichi gaped, 'Are you serious...!'
Yatsuka directed the bokuto at Daichi's back, "Yamamoto, turn around." Daichi did so and faced the "counsellor". "Don't you have something to say to me?"
"What do you mean?" Daichi blinked in confusion.
He asked, "Did you sleep well last night?" Daichi nodded. "You didn't wet your bed, did you?" he smirked, "Surely at your age...you know not to play with fire."
Daichi's eyes widened slightly, '...Play with fire...? Does he know about what happened in the music room...?' He then thought back to that fateful night.
*Flashback*
A seven-year-old Daichi was crying in the middle of his burning house. His mother lay dead at his side. Saint came crashing into the room, blood oozing out of his abdomen and fell to the boy's side.
"It's alright, Daichi..." Saint grunted, "The monsters are gone..."
"Otou-chan..." Daichi sobbed, "Kaa-chan is... Kaa-chan is..."
Saint nodded, "I know..." He then reached for the Saint Seal in his belt and removed it, his hand shaking. Saint's armor disappeared and before him was a man with golden brown hair and gold eyes. "Daichi. Listen to me... I know that this isn't the right time. But you must... persevere. Find your own path and keep moving forward..." The man, Daichi's father, grinned, "I know you can do it. You're my little man after all... As head of the Yamamoto Clan... I hereby dub thee... Kamen Rider... Saint...!" He handed his son the Saint Seal and he looked at it with wide eyes. "Oyaji will look after you, but you're the new head of the clan now..."
Daichi shook his head, "You can't die, Otou-chan... you can't..."
Daichi's father smiled, "Remember these words...Daichi... Awaken the soul within you... Urk..."
Daichi tried to shake his father awake, who was unresponsive. He cried, "Otou-chan...! Otou-chan, don't die...! OTOU-CHAN!"
*End Flashback*
Daichi remebered that day like it was yesterday. It was the day he becam the head of the Yamamoto Clan. The day he became Kamen Rider Saint. The day his parents were killed...
Daichi looked up at Yatsuka and glared, "First off, I'm not a child who wets his bed. I know full well not to take fire lighty...!"
Yatsuka smirked, "That's quite the defiant look in your eyes, Yamamoto. You got guts, kid. I can't say that I hate guys like you. Alright, we'll change venues. How about we go to the guidance office..."
"Oh, good morning, Yatsuka-sensei."
The two males turned to see a cute young woman, with black braided hair and brown eyes and wearing glasses, walking over to them.
"Oh good morning to you too, Yamamoto-kun," the woman smiled.
Daichi bowed, ""Good morning, Sahara-sensei."
Yatsuka only glared at the woman.
"C'mon now," she urged. "You'll be late if you don't hurry. What are you doing standing around here?" She then looked at Yatsuka with a coonfusing look on her hace, "Ara? Arararara? Yatsuka-sensei...?"
"What?" he asked out of irritation.
"Do you have some business with my homeroom student?"
"The incident in the music room yesterday..."
"Wasn't that an accident? The fire was caused by a leakage, wasn't it? Or was there some other cause?"
'Accident?' Daichi could only stare. His homeroom teacher was covering for him? Then would she also know about what happened? He then noticed that Sahara was motioning to him, "Go now. Now." Daichi nodded and made his way to the school building. He then looked up and saw that the windows of the music room were covered by a large tarp. He sighed, "Oh man, I guess I caused quite the commotion last night..." He then heard scraping beneath his feat. He looked down to see grains of sand. 'Sand...?' He crouched down, examining the sand, 'To make an explosion look like a fire, you have to hide traces of scorching. Someone must have used this sand. But so much... Who could have done this...?'
"KYAAA! LOOK OUT!"
Daichi looked up and his eyes widened when he saw a giant slab of concrete falling above him. 'I can't evade it...!'
