Chapter 4
"Ow, that really kills," said Rito as he sat on his bed- he had returned home late and got an extremely scary beating from his sister Mikan. Hah, I'm not the only one who has gotten strong, he thought with a smirk. But I should really go downstairs- I've barely talked to anyone since I've been back, he thought with anxiety. He then casually made his way downstairs while nursing his still hurt head and the rest of his body.
Two years ago. Man, already been a month since I left, and I've already learnt so much- although these yetis aren't helping, thought Rito as he dodged many of the snow beasts' attacks. I can dodge well, but I still can't attack very well- guess it's a learning curve though, Rito thought tiredly. He then decided it was time to run, and swiftly jumping over the branches, he made a dash for it.
"Why do you still have to carry a gun, while eating?" asked Mikan in a rather frustrated voice. "Security," replied Rito, without much of a glance. "And it feels pretty cool to carry a gun," continued Rito as his sister started to frown. "Don't even try and hit me again, one time is enough for me" said Rito in a scared voice as he saw Mikan frown. Before things could get any more heated however, both Lala and Haruna walked in, back from shopping, carrying quite a few bags. "Holy crap, that's a lot of bags you're carrying- here, I'll carry them for you" offered Rito with a smile. "Arigatou" said both Haruna and Lala in unison. He carried the bags upstairs, not noticing all three looking at him (or his body). They were all thinking the same thing: wow, he's become even fitter than before.
Later on, Momo and Nana also joined them, talking about their day and all the things that had happened in the last two years. Not a lot happened I guess, although…I probably upset a lot of people by leaving for two years, thought Rito sadly. "Don't worry guys- I mean girls, I won't leave like that again, I promise" declared Rito with a determined look. He then started talking about some of the things he had done in the last two years, including all the fighting skills he'd learnt, the different languages, using a gun and that sort of stuff. All the girls were fascinated by how much he'd changed physically, and were all wondering the abilities he now had.
After saying their good nights, they all went to bed, is what it seemed like, but this was wrong. A quite small, pink-haired girl made her way towards Rito's room. Everyone was asleep though. I just can't help myself thought Momo deviously. She crept into Rito's bed, and slipped beside him, all the while, he was completely oblivious.
"Man, she's already started this; she's a sneaky one, the same as always I guess" whispered Rito with a slight smile, as he skilfully got out of bed, avoiding waking up Momo. With his earphones and iPhone, he made his way outside for a jog- electricity coursing through his body as he did so. Controlling electricity is so awesome, he thought with a laugh. He wondered whether the events of yesterday would be repeated. But it was worse…
He'd been jogging for 35 minutes, when out of nowhere, he felt a sharp object and a heat signature coming towards him; he quickly jumped out of the way, wondering whom the attacker was. He was surprised by the identity of the 'attacker'; "Yami-chan (?), is this a new way to say 'hello' or something?" he asked with a smile. "Seems like my target has gotten faster- even so Yuuki Rito, it was not very good of you to leave for two years," said Yami with a slightly flustered face. "I try my best," replied Rito nonchalantly. "But its good you're back, it means I can finally take care of you" said Yami with a slightly dark look on her face. "Yeah…um, I think I'll be off now," said Rito nervously, edging backwards, before sprinting off towards home.
That was rather scary, things haven't changed that much in these two years I guess, thought Rito with a small sweat drop on his head. And now we've got school, damn I forget too easily and I'm probably gonna be late now, thought Rito with a smirk. He quick time changed, and strangely, walked to school at a normal pace. Even though he was already an hour late to school, he still kept on walking at the same pace, even when he got there and entered the classroom.
"Sorry I'm late, I was out jogging and time slipped by like a kid on a banana skin," Rito said casually. "Alright, I'll let you off because you haven't been in school for quite long, but don't make it a habit," tutored the teacher as Rito sat down. Many of the students were working, and seeing Rito drew their attention- particularly the girls. He's still got that magnetic power on the girls, whyyyy?! thought many of the boys in the class. Many of the glances were also going towards his weapons, as many wondered what sort of power this new Yuuki Rito had.
Hey everyone, I know I said I probably wouldn't write, but I was wrong as I found time to do so. I'll probably do another chapter on Monday. This story is going decent, it's not amazing, but it's alright I guess. The idea had been in my head for quite a long time. I'll also add supernatural elements to it as well (e.g. yetis, monsters, ninjutsu, that type of stuff), and try and make Rito look more badass than in the manga. So as always, review and I do not own To Love-Ru or the characters.
