Chapter 11: New Family
Previously: crowd with vicious eyes.
"What? Are we supposed to be afraid of you?" The crowd asked as they circled around the orange haired boy.
"No…. but you should be." Rito said. (Quote from Haythem)
Chapter 11:
Upon hearing Rito's reply, 10 people came running towards him with fists raised. And the brawl begun.
(The sky above the High School)
"Father, why have you brought Zastin and me down to this…. Earth? Is there something to do with my sisters?" Nana, the third princess of Deviluke asked his father, who was sitting on the throne of the alien aircraft.
"Indeed it does, very astute Nana, very astute indeed…." Gid replied without looking at her as he piloted the ship above the High school.
"Allow me to explain Nana," Zastin begun "As you know, a couple of weeks ago, your sisters escaped our planet in order to avoid an arranged marriage. They have decided to hide on Earth. My team and I were sent to retrieve Lala and Momo, but our operations were interfered by an earthling who goes by the name of Yuuki Rito." As Zastin continued to explain the situation to Nana, the Devilukean King was watching the screen in front of him with critical eyes.
The monitored was connected to a camera that was flying around invisibly around the school yard in an attempt to locate Lala and Momo. Finally it centered onto Rito's brawl against 60 males. The three aliens watched in curiosity as the camera zoomed to get a better view at the people.
"That's Rito! He defeated me in fair combat, watch closely Nana, you might learn something from this fight." The knight said to the girl.
"If the earthling is here, that must mean that my girls are here as well. But I would like to see the boy in action myself." Gid said to the two.
"Let's see what you're made of, Rito."
(Back on the ground)
The first person attempted to punch Rito in the face, anticipating this Rito simply grab the incoming wrist and twisted it harshly, breaking it. The kid screamed in pain and rolled on the ground in agony. Seeing the second kid running towards him, the orange haired boy sprinted up to him, jumped up and delivered a devastating knee to the face, shattering his nose in the process. As Rito landed in a summersault he quickly stood up and saw yet another punch aiming for his face. He easily blocked it with his left hand and punched the kid in the neck. The other students around him kept charging at Rito ruthlessly, trying to hurt him, but Rito just kept expertly dodging and counter attacking when possible.
The aliens in their aircraft could only watch on amazement as Rito dispatched enemy after enemy with haste.
"Look at this kid! He is beating up the boys without breaking a sweat. He's moving so fast I can't even keep up with his movements! Is he truly human?!" Nana shouted in awe as she stare at the monitor.
"He's one fascinating kid, I'll give you that…." Gid mumbled in astonishment.
"Just what I would expect from the princesses' guardian." Zastin said calmly.
As the fight dragged out, Rito soon found the fight quite boring. "Let's finish this." He said to the remaining five students plus Saruyama.
Rito's foes then looked around them. Surrounding them were at least forty teenagers lying on the ground. Body parts of the victims were either broken or badly bruised and although all of them passed out, they were still alive. Saruyama and his five buddies stared at Rito with frightened eyes, horrified beyond belief as the orange haired teen glared at his former best friend with a calm look.
"Guys, lets scram before this monster breaks us as well." Yelled one from the group.
And so everyone retreated to the school block, yelling in terror, save for Saruyama, who arrogantly tried to intimidate Rito, despite his evident disadvantage.
"Well bravo! Rito. Bravo! You have incapacitated many students today, I'm sure your parents would be proud!" Saruyama said sarcastically.
Rito could not contain the fury inside of him as he ran up to him and gripped the collar of his so called best friend, then slammed him onto the ground with so much force that there was a small crater around him.
Sitting on his chest, Rito activated his hidden blade with a noticeable flick of his right wrist and swiftly brought it down onto his throat, aiming to silence him forever.
"No Rito! He's not worth it." Came a feminine voice from behind the assassin and his best friend.
Rito then felt a hand grasping onto his right arm and another pair of arms wrapped around his chest.
(On the alien aircraft)
"It's Lala and Momo!" Nana shouted in surprise as she was relieved to see her sisters once again.
"…" Gid remained silent as he continued to observe the scene.
(School Yard)
"Lala, Momo, I told you guys to go to class." Rito said without looking back, knowing who they were.
"Rito…" said Saruyama in a weak voice from below him. "When I wake up after this, my family would be there, to greet me and to comfort me. Where's yours? Huh?" he muttered as he coughed out blood laughed, but it was short lived as Momo kicked him on the head and rendered him unconscious.
"…"
"Rito! Don't listen to him!" Momo said.
"He speaks the truth…." Rito mumbled.
"THEN WE'LL BE YOUR FAMILY!" Lala and Momo shouted in unison at him as they hugged him tightly and kissed him.
Rito's chocolate eyes widened as she looked at the two princesses who just claimed to be his family. He was momentarily immobilized at Lala's statement and buried his face into the crook of her neck.
But he did not cry.
"I think I love them too….." Rito thought.
(Alien aircraft)
Everybody's eyes widened at the revelation.
"Did my daughters just proclaimed to marry Rito?" Gid asked himself.
(After school: 6:00 pm)
Rito was now sitting on the couch, depressed as he stared into nothing. The girls decided to prepare dinner for Rito to cheer him up.
As the pink haired girls prepared dinner, they conversed to each other about Rito.
"Hey, Lala, ever realize that Rito doesn't cry? I've never seen him cry before."
"Me neither…"
"Wonder why…"
Lala then turned to Rito from the kitchen and asked "Rito? Why do you not cry."
Rito looked up to her, he opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but nothing came out.
"Someone's calling." He stuttered as he took his mobile out and walked to the backyard.
Dialing his uncle's number, he patiently waited for him to pick up.
"Rito, how are things?" Sam asked casually.
"…" Rito explained everything that has happened today to him.
"I see…. Looks like a lot has happened in the last few days. Come to training this week, for it will be the last week of training you will have with me. Three days to be precise" His mentor said.
"Why?"
"I have received words from my informants that by Azendas orders the contractors are coming to Japan to search for the apple, which will consequently put everyone that you care for in danger. We must complete 10 months' worth of training in the span of three days."
"How am I supposed to do that?!"
"All will be explained, just turn up for training tomorrow, usual time." And with that, Uncle Sam hung up.
"Dinner's ready!" Momo shouted from inside the house.
"Hai!"
(After dinner)
"So listen Lala, Momo, I got a call for a part-time job offer in the city, and I accepted. Which means that I will be gone at night for most of the upcoming summer holiday. I'm sorry girls. But don't worry, it's only part-time." Rito lied smoothly.
"Aww… alright….." Lala and Momo said dejectly.
"How about we take a walk outside now, it's only 7:00 pm and the sun is still up. What do you say?"
"YAY!" the two Devilukean Princess shouted as they each planted a passionate kiss on his lips. Rito could only blush in embarrassment as all three walked up to their rooms and got changed into outdoor clothing. (Rito's usual outdoor clothing will be Desmond's attire form AC3).
As the three were strolling in the park, a gigantic shadow sudden loomed over their heads. They looked up and their eyes widened.
