KO 2: Weapons and Chess
A week later after their team had done miscellaneous missions that had seemed more like grunt work than actual missions; Kurinto pulled his two teammates under the shade of a tree when they were done with the day's mission. "Guys I think I can trust you enough to show you one of my treasures." He told them.
"Please don't tell me it's your ding-dong…" Kiyo deadpanned.
Kaido laughed at her joke, "Ha-ha, wait you talk?"
Kurinto then facepalmed. And her head's in the gutter too. He proceeded to pull out two scrolls, place them on the ground and cross them. He summoned two black bastard swords with blue hilts. "They're two very special swords made 100 % out of chakra metal."
"Oh, since we're showing off weapons here, and that tends to suck, Imma show mine." Kaido bit his thumb and wrote a sign on his palm. Black lightning shoots out from it and a black kasuri gama covered in black lightning appears.
Kiyo held out her hand and with a puff of smoke, a black spear with a red stone on the end of the handle appeared. "So… what's with all of us having black weapons?"
"Cause everyone here's black…" Kaido suggested.
"It's the best choice for stealth missions." Kurinto explained.
"Black is just a kickass color." Kiyo added.
"That too." The boys agreed.
"Anyway…" Kiyo's spear disappeared with another puff of smoke, "you guys wanna come over?"
"You got any snacks?" Kaido asked.
"I don't have anything to do…" Kurinto stated.
As the three were walking to Kiyo's house, Suki, a girl the same age as Kurinto walked up to Kiyo and slapped her. "Stop trying to take Kurinto away from me!"
"Bitch!" Kiyo appeared behind Suki, grabbed her wrists and put her foot on her back. "Say bye-bye to your arms now." She said sadistically then proceeded to break her arms.
Kurinto and Kaido pretended not to see what had just happened. When Kiyo realized what she had done she asked, "Wait…what just happened?"
"Uhh…seizure?" Kurinto lied.
"Yeah, yeah. Let's go!" Kaido grabbed Kiyo and ran.
Kurinto followed them. What a weirdo… He thought to himself, referring to Suki.
After they were far enough from the scene they started walking again. "I know what happened but…I meant what happened to me. Even if that girl slapped me I'm not the kind of person to do something like that." Kiyo stated, confused at herself. Not in this state anyway... "Let's just forget that happened okay? And…we're here." She pointed to an elegant apartment building.
"Well let's go inside then…" Kurinto sweatdropped. They go inside her apartment on the first floor; the boys sit down at a chess table.
"I'll go get you guys a snack, go ahead and play chess while you wait if you want." Kiyo suggested as she went into the kitchen.
"Alright Kurinto I'll be white." Kaido stated.
"No, I'll be white, you be black, Kaido, since I'm sitting on the white side already." Kurinto explained.
"Then how about we just turn the board around…" Kaido suggested.
"Really Kaido?" Kurinto's eye twitched.
He only wishes he was white… Kiyo chuckled to herself while getting some cookies for them. Kurinto and Kaido start playing chess and Kiyo came in with the cookies and some soda.
"Check mate, I win ha-ha." Kaido laughed Kurinto just looked at him and being a bit of a sore loser he said.
"You know what fuck this game!" Kurinto said as he punched through the chess board and the floor. "Whoops forgot my strength." Kurinto said embarrassed.
"My…chess….my dad gave me that…" Kiyo stood there staring at the empty space. This time Kurinto was grabbed by the shirt, "You better damn well repair and/or pay for all of this!"
"Well Kuro is poor so he'll have to fix it for you," Kaido laughed.
"Ya but I'm good at handy work, so I'll fix it for ya, sorry." Kurinto said rubbing the back of his head sheepishly.
"Feh…" she let him go. "You're lucky you're my teammate ok? Otherwise you'd be in the hospital by now….and not one of the ones my family runs either…" she crossed her arms.
"Oh ya, you're a Kusuri." Kurinto said.
"Mhmm…" Kiyo nodded. "Didn't we go over that already?" she raised an eyebrow.
"We weren't paying attention when you were talking; we saw a giant hawk in the sky." Kaido said laughing.
"It was kinda awesome, I have to be honest." Kurinto agreed.
"Show's ya how much you pay attention…" She muttered.
Suddenly, a man in a blue business suit barged in the front door. "Oh my darling Kyo~!" he shouted. He saw Kurinto and Kaido in his stepdaughter's apartment. He then proceeded to drag her into the kitchen.
"Sousuke-san I told you it's KI-yo, not Kyo!" she whined. The boys quietly laughed at their comrade's whining. Then they hear a smack. "Oww~!" she whined louder.
"Kaido let me see what's going on…" Kurinto walked into the kitchen and saw Kiyo with tears forming in her eyes. He picked up Sousuke by his dress shirt; markings were appearing all over his body. "You know…the one thing I hate in this world is abusive parents." He threw Sousuke into the nearest wall.
Kiyo looked up at her teammate and saw the bright blue markings forming. "Kurinto," she sweatdropped, "Kurinto…All he did was it me upside the head cause I didn't tell him you guys were coming over-ttebanya. Y-Ya know just like a tap. I mean he hit my ear and I was caught off guard but…" she got distracted by the markings. "Wait what are those?" she pointed to them.
"I'll be in the other room," he said as he walked off, ignoring her question.
Sousuke got up and dusted off his clothing like nothing had happened to him. He and Kiyo walked into the other room together. "I approve!" He patted Kurinto on the shoulder with a thumbs up and grin. He left.
Kurinto facepalmed, "Was he a medical ninja or doctor of some sort?"
"No…even though he's the CEO of Kusuri Medical co…he doesn't even know how to put on a simple Band-Aid, let alone heal." Kiyo stated matter-of-factly.
"Wow, he is kinda useless." Kaido said laughing.
"Well that not really nice but he is odd though I'll say that." Kurinto said.
Kiyo's stepdad poked his head in the room, "Oh by the way don't worry about the chess board and the floor board, I'll take care of it since it's Kyo's friends. It's not a problem, well I'll see you kids later." he then disappeared.
"We'll since I'm free and clear of that I guess I'll head home. I have to some self training to do, I'll see ya later you two. And sorry about the floor Kiyo." Kurinto said as he left her house.
"We'll I'm going to head home for a nice long nap~." Kaido yawned as he speed off in the direction of his house.
"What? No goodbye? How rude, Dattebanya…" Kiyo glared outside.
