Chapter 2

The New Student

After Kiriya had left, Asuka introduced Jake to her parents and showed him to the guest bedroom, where he decided he was going to go to sleep early and bid Asuka goodnight. The next morning, he ate (this time freshly-made) Futomaki rolls made by Asuka for breakfast and after he had said goodbye to her before she headed off to school without him (he didn't have to go to school that day because his schedule was in the process of being changed), he took a shower and afterwards helped Asuka's parents around the house throughout most of the day, until Kiriya showed up during school's lunch break and went with Jake to his apartment so he could tell his landlord he was moving out and pay that month's rent. She said goodbye to Jake and wished him well, but asked Kiriya if they could get coffee sometime. Kiriya said he would let her know and as Kiriya's ninjutsu clones (disguised as different people so others would not be suspicious of there being four Kiriyas at the same time) started moving Jake's stuff to the boy's dormitory, the real Kiriya told Jake all of his stuff would be completely moved in by the time school ended after his first day. Jake asked if he'd have enough room and if it wouldn't interfere with his roommates' parts of the room. Kiriya told him he didn't have any roommates, as all of his students up until Jake's arrival were girls, and that the other beds in the boys dorm had been put in storage so that Jake could have the whole room to himself. At first, Jake was pleased that he had a whole dorm that he didn't have to share, but became bright red when he thought harder and realized he would be the only male in a classroom full of girls (Kiriya didn't count since he was just the teacher). After Jake paid his rent and bid farewell to Akira (the aforementioned landlord), he went back to Asuka's house where dinner was already served and there was even a tiny cake made by Asuka's mother as a welcoming present to the life of a shinobi. After he ate, he helped the family wash the dishes and was invited by Asuka to sleep in her room that night. After they turned the lights out, Jake stared up at the ceiling, wondering what life would have in store for him, now that he was a shinobi.

The Next Morning

Hanzo National Academy Main Quad

7:49 AM

After showering and eating an American Style Pancake breakfast made by Asuka's father, Jake thanked him and his wife for their kindness and hospitality, and he and Asuka headed to school to start Jake's first day of shinobi training. As he and Asuka were walking through the quad, she told Jake about her classmates.

"Do you think they'll like me?", he asked.

Asuka smiled at him.

"Of course they'll like you! But one of them might like you a lot more than normal."

Jake wasn't sure what to make of that last part, but decided to ignore it for the time being. Asuka then started to pull on his arm.

"Jake, come on! If we don't hurry up, we'll be late for class!"

"Don't pull so hard, Asuka. It kinda hurts when you do that. Ow! Hey, Asuka! Ow! Stop! You're gonna pull my arm off!"

As Asuka and Jake hurried into the building, he couldn't help but notice some of the regular students were glaring at him and whispering to each other. Some of the male students were leering at Jake, while he saw the Valley Girls from a couple of months earlier were in bewilderment that a cute girl was playfully dragging him to class, one of them stating jealousy over Asuka's to-die-for body compared to their own noticeably flat chests. Jake couldn't help but have a satisfied feeling that those girls who called him weird have had their self-esteem shaken thanks to Asuka, though she didn't know she did such a thing. As they entered the building, Asuka led Jake through an empty hallway into a door with a school faculty only sign on it's front. They then were in the teacher's lounge where they went through a secret wall door that led into a hallway, where Jake could see the girl's and boy's dormitories, who recognized some of his belongings in the latter room. Kiriya was there and told Jake to wait in the hallway and be quiet while Asuka headed to class.

Kiriya's Classroom

8:01 AM

As the school bell rang signifying school to begin, a girl with long black hair was looking at the time.

"Class started one minute ago, and neither Kiriya-Sensei nor Asuka is here yet. It's not like them to be late for class.", she noted in surprise. The blonde girl next to her wasn't worried, however, she was still somewhat suspicious.

"I don't think it's anything to worry about, Ikaruga.", spoke the blonde named Katsuragi.

"However...", she continued, "Asuka hasn't been hanging out with us over the last couple of days, always disappearing saying she has important things to do. I have something important to do, too! I haven't been able to fondle her since Wednesday morning, my hands are just itching to feel some skin again!"

Katsuragi was starting to drool now and was making groping motions with her hands at thin air. Ikaruga became slightly annoyed at her friend's odd behavior.

"Is there a reason you always have to harass Asuka? It's probably detrimental for her when you do that to her, and she clearly doesn't enjoy it."

Katsuragi suddenly sported a devious grin on her face and turned to Ikaruga.

"Is someone jealous? Maybe I'll fondle you instead if it makes you feel better, and more importantly, it'll make me feel better!"

Katsuragi was about to pounce on the ravenette but backed off when Ikaruga began to draw her sword with fire in her eyes.

"You're always such a party pooper.", Katsuragi grumbled. Asuka finally arrived to class and greeted her classmates.

"Good morning, Asuka!", said a ribbon-wearing, pink-haired girl named Hibari, one of the other students and a first year. Sitting next to her was a girl with long silver hair tied into two ponytails with shuriken, who had an eyepatch over her right eye.

"It is good to see you again, Asuka.", she said. The silver hair girl watched her classmates with her crimson left eye as she munched on a piece of fried squid.

"Ew, Yagyu. You still eat that stuff?", Hibari turned to the former.

"Don't mock my surume.", replied Yagyu nonchalantly.

After Asuka greeted the two first-years, Katsuragi bolted out of her seat and immediately began groping Asuka's breasts with a gleeful look on the blonde's face.

"Eeeek! Katsu-née, please don't do that right now! Class is about to start!", Asuka cried out.

"No way! This is your punishment for not telling us what you have been up to the past couple of days! Accept your punishment like a good girl!"

Before Katsuragi could fondle Asuka any further, there was a puff of smoke in the middle of the room, which Kiriya appeared from.

"Everyone, please take a seat. Class is now in session.", he spoke. As everyone took to their designated seats, Kiriya briefed them of their schedule.

"Today will be an easy day, so there will be no class work, but there will be open book reading later on."

"Yes! Free Day! I'm so stoked!", yelled Katsuragi as she jumped out of her seat.

Hibari was relieved today wasn't going to be hard, and Yagyu was indifferent towards it all.

Ikaruga was pleased, but curious as to what the circumstances were to call for a free day.

"Not that I'm not happy with having a day off, but what's the occasion, Master Kiriya?", she asked politely.

"The reason why we have an easy day today is because we have a new student joining us.", replied Kiriya.

Everyone in the room was surprised at the news, sans Asuka, who just had a smile on her face.

"Yes.", continued Kiriya. "Due to recent circumstances, this person was chosen to be trained in the shinobi arts to hone their skills."

"What is she like? Is she cute? I bet she's cute!", Katsuragi immediately interrupted.

"This person is a special case, as I stated before.", Kiriya ignored Katsuragi's last question while acknowledging the first.

Ikaruga raised her hand and spoke up.

"Excuse me, sir, but what is her shinobi lineage?"

"This person has no shinobi ancestry and will be the first in their family to become one.", Kiriya replied again.

"Oh, I see.", Ikaruga felt bad about what she said and worried the new student might have heard that and have had her feelings hurt.

Hibari was optimistic that the new student was friendly and had a lot in common with her. She hoped she would be a first year just like her. "I wonder if she likes sweets and video games, too?", she pondered.

Yagyu didn't care what the new student was like, unless she was like Katsuragi. God forbid having two perverted girls in the classroom at once every day!

"She had better stay away from Hibari...!", Yagyu thought to herself.

Kiriya spoke finally spoke again.

"Yes, starting today, he'll be joining our class, so I hope you all will help me in welcoming him here and making him feel comfortable."

It took a minute for everyone except Asuka & Kiriya to realize the new student is a boy.

"THE NEW STUDENT IS A BOY?!", Katsuragi yelled. She was looking down and her golden hair blocked everyone else's view of her face.

"Katsuragi, I'm surprised that our new classmate is a boy, too...", Ikaruga said to her. "But it's nothing to get angry about. We should be celebrating the fact that our class is getting more genderly diverse."

"Angry? What the hell are you talking about, Ikaruga?", the blonde asked Ikaruga as if she was speaking nonsense. "Now I have a new person to fondle! I can't wait to make him squirm and have him become my new boy to-", Everyone gave Katsuragi a death look. The latter decided it was probably best to not finish that sentence.

"Where is he right now?", Hibari asked with curiosity.

"He's been waiting in the hallway this whole time.", Kiriya answered. Katsuragi grinned at this revelation, while Ikaruga's stomach dropped panicking that he might have heard Katsuragi, or what she herself had said about his lineage.

"Jake, you may come in now!"

But there was no reply and nobody came. Kiriya sighed that Katsuragi potentially scared him off. He looked in the hallway and saw Jake standing there but he wouldn't come in.

"Asuka, would you mind getting him?", Kiriya asked.

"Y-yes, sir!", she replied as she hurried into the hallway to convince Jake to come in.

Through the screen door and walls, Asuka's silhouette walked to where the screen ended and stopped. She was talking to someone off-screen. Asuka's shadow stepped back a few feet and a much taller shadow stood next to her talking with her.

"Jake, you were supposed to walk in when he said to."

"I'm nervous and a little scared to go in there. In case you haven't noticed, I'm the only guy in the class and I get shy around girls. Being around one girl is fine with no problems. But five is way too much for me to handle.", Jake stated, clearly nervous. Meanwhile, back in the classroom, the other Hanzo students watched Jake and Asuka's silhouettes talk with each other while listening intently.

"He sounds hella cute. I bet he looks even better!" Katsuragi whispered into Ikaruga's ear.

"Be quiet, Katsuragi. He's probably really nervous and I think you are just making it worse for him.", Ikaruga scolded.

"He sounds really nice, Yagyu-chan. Do you think he can come on a play date with us?", Hibari asked Yagyu with eagerness.

"We'll see, Hibari.", Yagyu replied, wanting to see his appearance first before deciding whether she wants him near Hibari or not.

"Jake, you're going to have to come in.", Asuka tried to pull Jake across the hallway back to the classroom entrance, with Jake resisting, but ultimately Asuka was able to nearly drag him inside.

"But Asuka, I don't want t-"

But before Jake could finish his sentence, Asuka managed to pull him through the doorway. After she pulled hard on his arm and let go, Jake struggled to balance before he could fall. Standing on one foot with his arms spread in between in front of him and his sides, Jake looked forward to see the other students looking at him. He then regained his balance and stood up straight.

"Please introduce yourself.", Kiriya spoke.

"Um. M-my name is Jake. I'll be joining your class from now on and I hope to get to know you all very well.", Jake stammered.

The room was dead silent. Nobody spoke and Jake nervously stood there waiting for one of them to speak. After it seemed like nobody was going to speak up, it was Katsuragi who broke the silence.

"YES! JACKPOT! KATSU-NEE SCORED BIG THIS TIME! HE'S EVEN CUTER THAN I IMAGINED. ROCK THAT 'FRO!"

Everyone facepalmed immediately, except Jake, who, realizing what Asuka had warned him about in the quad, wasn't sure what to make of the situation at hand, so he decided it would be best to just sit down in the empty seat next to Asuka. After Jake took his seat, Katsuragi sat next to him.

"Thank you for your enthusiasm for our new student, Katsuragi.", groaned Kiriya. "We will now open our textbooks to the introductory chapter to refresh Jake's memory of what I explained to him a couple of days ago. Asuka, would you please briefly summarize the history of shinobi?"

"Yes, Sensei!", Asuka sat up straight and began to read aloud from the textbook.

"Elite bands of warriors known as Shinobi first formed during the feudal era. They worked under Daimyos- Feudal Lords, or Landowners. They spied, engaged in subversive activities, and even performed assassinations." Jake was eagerly listening to Asuka, while everyone else followed along, sans Katsuragi, who wasn't paying attention.

"The Meiji Restoration ended feudal society in Japan, and talk of shinobi ceased. But even as times change, old traditions die hard. We still need those who operate in the shadows. Even today, shinobi still perform their duties. To the outside world, Hanzo Academy is merely a huge prep school with one thousand students enrolled. However, alongside the regular students, disciples of shinobi hone their art, completely invisible to their classmates."

Jake immediately raised his hand upon hearing this.

"You have something to add, Jake?", Kiriya asked.

"Um, kinda. But up until today, I was part of the regular student populace. Since I got switched so suddenly, won't people in my old classes be suspicious of why I'm no longer there if they see me again?", Jake wondered.

"That's a good question to ask, Jake.", Kiriya replied, then proceeded to continue explaining.

"A shinobi must be able to remove all traces of themselves so that enemies and normal people won't be able to find them. Actually, all of the teachers at this school are secretly shinobi and kunoichi, but I am the sole teacher that trains ninja students. They work behind the scenes to ensure the school's secret remains safe, but are paid to be teachers to regular students. So be sure sure to treat them as you'd treat me, because they're doing extra work to hide your whereabouts from the other students."

"Yes, sir!", chimed Jake. Kiriya smiled.

"Asuka, please continue."

Asuka took a moment to breathe before moving along.

"Hanzo Academy's private mission is to serve as a national institute for training shinobi. The school was established to create a force to counter the behavior of unsanctioned shinobi. Right now, the shinobi affiliated with the national organization are called Zennin, or "Good Ninja", and the ones operating outside the law are known as Akunin, or "Evil Ninja"."

"Precisely.", nodded Kiriya. "We Zennin are destined to battle the Akunin. Even as ages pass and governments come and go, the struggle between good and evil will never cease."

"That's it!"

Everyone looked at Jake, who wore a confident look on his face for the first time in a long while.

"I'll find a way to end the struggle. If there's such a thing as true peace, I'll find it! I'll end all of the hate and bring peace to the world! That's the one thing I want to happen more than anything! That's my destiny as a shinobi, right?"

Asuka looked at Jake in awe, not caring whether Hikaru's spirit might be manifesting through Jake or if this is what Jake truly wants. It was good to strive towards something like that and it made her think highly of him. Kiriya showed a rare smile, admiring Jake's bold words.

"It's nice to hear that from you, Jake. Let's continue. For the time being, we will be fighting the Akunin. As you fight, what will you rely on for assistance? Hmm, I'll call on you today, Hibari. Tell us about the Super-Secret Ninja Art."

"Y-yes!", replied the pinkette.

"Ah... well... To overcome one's limits, one must call upon the power of nature during battle. In order to use the Super-Secret Ninja art, one must have the corresponding scroll. We must keep these scrolls close to us at all times."

"I keep mine up my skirt.", Katsuragi replied nonchalantly, trying to get a reaction out of Jake, which didn't work.

"I'm gonna have to try harder to get him to be the way I want him to.", Katsuragi thought to herself.

"Mine's between my boobs.", said Asuka, before she realized she had said that in front of Jake. Jake didn't look in her direction, but his face was red.

"Looks like I have an opportunity!", thought Katsuragi with an evil look on her face, noticing Jake also heard what Asuka said.

"Your boobs, huh?", Katsuragi repeated to Asuka. "How interesting! Hehe..."

Asuka figured out what was coming.

"Sister Katsu?"

"Let's see how well it's guarded!" Katsuragi shouted full of glee before pouncing on the helpless Asuka.

"KYAAAH!"

Asuka squealed as Katsuragi's fingers removed the former's shirt, exposing her bra and breasts, and began fondling them.

"Ah- Sister Katsu... stop it...! Not in front of Jake!"

"Just stay still, Asuka! I only need a second!", Katsuragi mewed.

Not taking her hands off of Asuka, Katsuragi looked towards Jake expecting him to be ogling at the sight before him, but she was surprised when she saw Jake was looking away with his hands over his eyes and face. She decided to harass him through his hearing since his ears were left uncovered.

"Keeheehee! Asuka, your breasts are so soft and firm! Perfect size and texture! Any man would give anything to feel boobies as nice as yours!"

"Stop it, Katsuragi!" Jake shouted while grabbing Katsuragi's wrists and removing her hands from Asuka's breasts. As Asuka recovered and buttoned her shirt again, Katsuragi pouted, but smiled and shook Jake's hands off of her wrists, crawled on his lap, and pulled his face into her ample cleavage. Asuka and the other girls were horrified that Katsuragi would do such a thing to Jake, while Jake's muffled voice pleaded for Katsuragi to let him out of the soft prison.

"What? No way! Don't tell me you are not enjoying this?!"

"Not in the slightest! Let me out!"

Asuka started to pull Jake away from the giddy blonde.

"Leave him alone! He was only trying to help!", yelled Asuka.

But Katsuragi wouldn't let go just yet. In her head, Katsuragi thought out a plan of waiting for the brunette girl to pull on him hard enough that she'll let go with Jake getting a face full of Asuka's boobs. When Asuka pulled rather hard, Katsuragi let go. But Katsuragi forgot to take Asuka and Jake's differences in height into account, because instead of him getting a unintentional boobie hug from Asuka like she expected, Asuka pulled hard enough that she and Jake's heads knocked into each other, and both fell back and winced in pain.

"Katsuragi, that is enough!", Ikaruga scolded her fellow Senior. "Jake, as Class Representative, I'm sorry you had to experience this on your first day, but I must thank you for doing the right thing and not taking advantage of the situation."

Kiriya finally cleared his throat.

"As I said earlier today, today was going to be a short day, so class is dismissed. Tomorrow, we'll be going to the mountains so Jake can discover his Ninpo Nature and Animal Summon. Jake, if you will kindly follow me, I will show you to your room and bathing facility."

"It was nice meeting most of you today.", Jake sheepishly smiled, then hurried out the classroom door with Kiriya leading him. After the two males had left, everyone turned to Asuka.

"Looks like you have some explaining to do.", Katsuragi said.

"I also would like to know how Jake arrived here.", Ikaruga concurred.

"Alright.", sighed Asuka. "Since you guys are my best friends, I'll tell you how Jake became a shinobi."

Asuka proceeded to tell them about the legend of Hikaru and Yami and how Jake is the former's reincarnation. She explained how she found him severely injured and bleeding to death on the ground after Yami returned and tried to finish him off, but fled when Jake's Light Powers Activated, and how she and Kiriya took him to the hospital. Naturally, the rest were horrified that a supposedly dead Evil Shinobi tried to kill Jake and almost succeeded, but were relieved when she told them he had healed automatically after he was taken to the hospital. He then stayed at her house for a couple of days while his stuff was moved into the (no longer empty) boy's dormitory. The girls decided to head to their dorm to freshen up and discuss what they were going to do for dinner.

"Maybe we should ask Jake where he wants to go for dinner?", Hibari suggested.

"Yeah, but are we paying for our own food or is he gonna pay for all of us? After all, it'd be a gentlemanly thing for him to do.", Katsuragi wondered.

"Honestly, after all of the problems you caused today, I think you should be the one who pays for the food, Katsuragi.", retorted Yagyu.

"Everyone except Katsuragi laughed at Yagyu's comment, whose lips very briefly curled into a smile, then returned to their normally stoic position.

"Why don't we go ask him what he wants to do for dinner?", Asuka said.

"That would probably be the best thing to do.", agreed Ikaruga.

The girls then proceeded to head to the boy's dorm and knocked on the door.

"Jake? It's us! Are you in there?", Asuka called. Nobody answered.

"I'm gonna go see if he's in there.", Katsuragi declared while widely opening the door and walking in, hoping to get an eyeful of him changing clothes.

"Sister Katsu, don't go in without his permission!", Asuka said nervously.

"Dammit, it's completely empty!", Katsuragi whined. The girls sighed in relief that she hadn't caught Jake in a compromising situation.

"Katsuragi, come out of there!", Asuka begged, hoping Jake wouldn't see them lurking.

"Nuh-uh! Why don't you come in? Hey, is that pornagraphy I see?", Katsuragi snickered.

At this, every girl dashed into Jake's room to see what sick fetishes he had. Yagyu covered the impressionable Hibari's eyes so she wouldn't see anything she deemed unsuitable for her.

"Alright, where is it, Katsuragi?", Asuka demanded, a slightly angry look in her eyes.

"Oh, I lied about him having porn. I just said that so you would all finally come inside his room.", Katsuragi said with a pseudo-innocent smile.

The girls realized that the buxom Blonde had baited them so that she wouldn't be the only one to get in trouble for sneaking in Jake's room. The girls were about to leave, but were enticed by the interior and began looking around the room, noticing he had a lot of possessions. He had a shelf that had various toys and figures on the top row, and various books, magazines, comics, manga volumes, music CDs, and video games neatly arranged on the lower ones. There was also a large leather couch in front of a semi-large plasma tv with special glasses on top of a case with various video game consoles hooked up to it, the noteworthy ones being a Playstation 3, a Wii U with a gamepad in front of the tv, two Gamecubes, an original Xbox, something that looked like a purple Super Famicom that they haven't seen before, a Nintendo 64 shaped like the Pikachu character from the Pokemon series, and a capture device hooked up to all of his home consoles. There were also a pink DS Lite, a silver Gameboy Advance SP, a black Playstation Portable with red buttons, a white Playstation Vita, and a red 3ds XL with various Smash Bros. characters on it. Hibari was ecstatic about his game collection and was determined to play games with him often in the future and show him her video games. She turned and saw that Jake had various Plushies on his neatly made bed, and went over to go see them. She thought they were adorable and was now itching to show him her Plushies, wondering again if he liked sweets as much as she did.

Meanwhile, while Ikaruga & Katsuragi were perusing Jake's various books and comics, Asuka noticed he had an artists' studio with what appeared to be rough drafts of a manga she assumed he created. She also noticed that one side of the room had a laptop, video camera, voice recording equipment, an animation tablet, and a green screen. That side of the room had walls covered with anime and video game posters, while the other side of the room where his bed and shelves were had his own artwork hanging on the wall alongside photos of what she assumed to be his family back in America, postcards from relatives, and some pictures of Jake as an infant and young child. She noticed how different he looked in the pictures compared to what he looked like now, as he didn't have the afro he currently has. Yagyu was looking at the candy red electric guitar hanging on the wall while hooked up to an amp on the floor, alongside various music sheets and set lists.

"So he plays music as well. What does this guy not do?, Yagyu wondered.

"Aha! I found it!", Katsuragi shouted, holding a book with a pretty girl on the cover for all to see. The rest of the girls were shocked that Jake had such a thing in his possession. As Katsuragi opened it up and everyone else expected the worst, Katsuragi groaned in disappointment.

"There's no pictures! It's nothing but words that I can't read!"

Everyone sighed in relief. Ikaruga took a closer look at the book since she knew a little bit of English.

"Upon further inspection, this is a romance novel.", she stated.

"Wow, I'd never think he'd be into the romantic stuff...", Hibari said in awe.

Right then and there, all of the girl's stomachs dropped to their feet when they heard Kiriya and Jake talking in the hallway, heading their way.

"Crap!", slurred Katsuragi. "Everyone hide!"

As everyone scrambled to find a hiding spot, Katsuragi hid in the bathroom, Ikaruga in the closet, and Yagyu up on the ceiling. Asuka and Hibari, in the confusion, however, ran into each other and fell on their bottoms, wincing in pain.

As Kiriya heard a thud and the pained groans of his two clumsiest students, he sighed in disappointment.

"Asuka! Hibari! I know you're in there! Come on out. The door slid open to Asuka looking down pale as a ghost while Hibari was starting to tear up a little, lips trembling.

"The rest of you come out as well!", Kiriya demanded, knowing Ikaruga, Katsuragi, and Yagyu were in there as well even though he couldn't see them. Katsuragi came out of the bathroom, Ikaruga emerged from the closet, and Yagyu dropped down from the ceiling, where they joined Asuka and Hibari. Most of them had guilty looks on their faces. Katsuragi had a unashamed and proud look on her face, while Yagyu wore her normal, expressionless face.

"You five...", Kiriya scolded. "I can't leave you alone for thirty minutes without you sneaking into a new student's room and causing mischief! What do you have to add, Jake?"

Jake was standing next to Kiriya, now changed into his street clothes- a pair of brown cargo shorts, a Naruto T-Shirt, and a Spider-Man hoodie that looked as if it could zip up completely to form a mask. Jake just stood there, looking at the five girls, not speaking to them at all. After a long silence, Hibari tearfully apologized to Jake.

"We're really sorry we went in your room without asking!"

"I'm not.", Katsuragi retorted. Ikaruga pinched her fellow Senior quite hard. "Ow! What the hell was that for?"

Jake just stood there looking at them, then smiled.

"Hahahahahahaha!", Jake suddenly burst out laughing. "If you wanted to see my room so badly, all you needed to do was ask! I'd be more than happy to show you all everything!"

Jake had a huge grin on his face and was chuckling. Hibari immediately dashed to Jake and hugged him, which took the latter by surprise.

"Hibari is happy Big Brother Jake isn't mad at her or Hibari's sisters.", she said, nuzzling her face into his hoodie.

"Big Brother, huh?", Jake chuckled.

Asuka then walked over to join Hibari in hugging their new family member, followed by Ikaruga and even Yagyu. Katsuragi stayed where she was.

"Hey. Get over here and join, Blondie.", Jake said, grinning towards Katsuragi.

" 'Kay, Curls!", Katsuragi replied in response to Jake to giving her a nickname. She then joined in the hug. After holding together for about a minute, everyone's stomach growled at once.

"I think it's time to go eat.", Jake stated.

The Cherry Blossom Sushi Bar

5:27 PM

Jake had suggested they go to the sushi bar he sometimes works at for dinner, so that everyone could get their favorite foods. When they arrived, the manager greeted Jake and Jake told him about how he moved out of his apartment and is living in the school now (he made sure not to tell him anything else).

"So when's the next time you'll have time to work again?", asked the manager named Hiro.

"Well, I'm busy tomorrow on a field trip, but Sunday, I'll be able to work pretty much from 11 to 6, and I can work Monday afternoon from 4 to 6:30. After that, I'm not sure. I'll get back to you on that, but me and my classmates came here to have dinner.", Jake replied.

"Ah, yes! Tonight's a slow night, which is odd considering it's Friday, but the seats by the bar are empty. You can sit there if it's alright with all of you?"

"You girls wanna sit by the bar?", Jake asked.

Everyone nodded their heads and sat down on the six stools by the sushi bar. From the left end seat sat Yagyu, Hibari, Ikaruga, Jake, Asuka, and finally Katsuragi on the right end seat of the bar. Jake ordered Shrimp Tempura, Teriyaki Chicken, and two bowls of rice, with Mr. Pibb as a drink, Asuka ordered the Futomaki rolls with a Sprite, Ikaruga got Curry with green tea, Katsuragi requested two bowls of Chicken Ramen with Fanta, Hibari asked for Teriyaki Chicken as well, and a Ramune Soft Drink, and Yagyu got Surume with plain ice water.

As everyone was eating their respective foods, Asuka got a look from Katsuragi, and the former proceeded to ask Jake a question.

"So, Jake...", Asuka addressed while timidly playing with her index fingers. Jake turned towards Asuka to give her his attention.

"Yes, Asuka?", he asked while lifting a piece of tempura to his mouth.

"Um... What type of girl do you like?"

Jake got caught off guard at this question and bit his finger alongside the piece of tempura he was holding.

"OW! FUCK!"

Jake had reverted back to English and cursed as his bit finger.

"I'm sorry, Jake! I didn't mean to distract you!", Asuka immediately apologized and checked his finger. There was a cut on where his finger was bit and it was bleeding before it rapidly began to heal and the skin completely reformed after a few seconds.

"Ugh. Sorry about that. Anyways, why do you want to know my type?"

Asuka tried to look innocent. "I was just wondering, ya know?"

"That wasn't directed at you, Asuka...", Jake said while looking at Katsuragi, who wore a sultry grin towards him.

"But...", Jake continued, "I'll humor you, anyways. What do you want to know?"

"Ooh! Jake!", Katsuragi interrupted. "Would you like a girl to have sweet, big b-"

"Eyes?", Jake countered. "Yes. Eyes are probably my favorite thing about a girl."

Hibari blushed at this, while Yagyu blushed as well, but was also contemplating killing Jake if he tried anything with Hibari.

"Boring!", Katsuragi yawned. "What about a nice a-"

"Smile? Yes. Smiles are also a must.", Jake replied.

"Jake! Stop interrupting me! Do you like large breasts or not?", Katsuragi girls waited eagerly for his response. After a few seconds, Jake closed his eyes and sighed.

"Alright. I'm going to be totally honest. I'm don't look for girls with large breasts or nice asses. I look for girls who can stimulate me intellectually and emotionally. If they have big boobs, then they're just there, and that's it. If a girl wasn't well endowed, I wouldn't think less of her for it. You girls most likely didn't want breasts like you have but couldn't control it because it's just genetics. People might judge you based on that, and I think that'd be unfair. People would judge me based on my height. They were often afraid of me because I towered over them. Because of that, I never judged someone based on outward appearance and looked for people's true selves. The reason why I'm telling you this is because I don't think highly of you because of your appearances and assets. I think highly of you because of the kindness and acceptance you've shown towards me, and for the first time in the two plus months I've lived in Japan, I've finally felt like it wasn't a mistake coming here and I feel I belong here. And I thank all of you for that and look forward to the memories I'll be making with you."

Everyone was in awe at Jake divulging personal feelings towards people he's only known for two days at most, seven hours at least. They noticed he was crying but had a huge smile on his face. At this, all of the girls looked at each other and knew they were all thinking the same thing: they had found the perfect potential husband. Even Yagyu was blushing and tearful in her one eye. They would all have to fight for his affection, but they decided they would worry about that later and once again hugged Jake as a group.

"Thank you for telling us that, Jake.", Ikaruga said proudly. "You've made us feel much more secure of ourselves and we're glad that we finally made you feel welcome in Japan."

Hiro was listening to the whole story, and after wiping a tear began clapping. Everyone else, even the other customers, soon joined him in clapping for Jake. After they were finished eating, Jake paid everyone's food bill and left a considerable tip for Hiro, being able to do so now that he has extra money from no longer having to pay rent. He thanked him for the outstanding service and told him he would see him again on Sunday, while the girls bowed and thanked Hiro for the food.

When they left from the restaurant, Jake said he was going to go to bed so he'd be ready to learn his Ninpo nature and discover his animal summon. After the girls bid him goodnight, he changed into his pajamas and turned out the lights, he drifted to sleep knowing his real training will start in the morning.

So yeah, this chapter was much longer than the first one and I think it turned out well. When i write these, I'm doing it off of my iPhone using Google Docs, proofreading it, fixing spelling, grammar, and continuity errors, trying my best to avoid run-on sentences, and then copy and paste it onto the uploader. I noticed that the first chapter had uploading issues where parts that are in bold and italics are not in said fonts and are to the side when they need to be centered. I don't have a computer, so when I'm able to access one, I'll update it as well as this chapter to fix the upload errors. Also, I would like to share that I'm have ideas for another fanfic series that is pokemon related. It is currently in the creative process stage since the idea was come up with much more recently than when I had come up with the idea for my SK story nearly 9 months ago. What I do have planned for it though is that it will focus on the storyline in pokemon black 2 & white 2. It will center around 6 main characters: an OC, Sabrina (who will be paired with the OC), The Male & Female Player Characters Nate & Rosa, who will be twin siblings, the player's rival Hugh, and the OC's starter pokemon, who happens to be a talking Greninja. Again, it's still in the creative process, so it won't be out for a while, but what I told you above is definitely going to be in the story. As for this chapter, I've been dropping hints about which Hanzo girl Jake will eventually be with, but for those of you who potentially figured out who it might be, or who you think it's going to be, don't leave a review or comment saying who you think or know it is, because you could potentially be wrong and also because it will be discussed much further 2-4 chapters from this one. So please hold your tongues. Since I've been writing for this over the past few days, I will be taking a weekend off to catch up on youtube videos before I even start to write the third chapter, but don't worry. I'll still be updating often for the foreseeable future. If you want, you can follow this story or leave a review, but as like last time, you don't have to if you do not wish to do so. Have a good day, and see you soon!
