25. RETURN OF BAKA! Er, Baku

I do not own Super Sentai or anything else that this fic references. I do however own all the characters in this fic.

I've rewrote chapter 2 and 24 by adding some stuff and fixing some errors just in case anyone is interested. Please read them again, especially 24 since you might not understand this chapter if you don't read 24 again before the rewrite. I'm thinking of doing the same thing for 17 so watch for it.

We're in the middle of the Summer Arc.

Oh and here's a treat, my real name is going to be hidden in this very chapter. See if you can find it.

Elemental Sentai Kodenranger

Chapter 25: RETURN OF BAKA! Er, Baku

Rain was falling in the city and suburbs. The rain fell down, dripping down the rooftops, splattering on the ground creating puddles. It was cool at this time despite it being summer in Japan. Kai sat on the ground. He leaned his back on the wall of his old home. The raindrops kept slashing on him. He kept staring at his hand, looking at the imaginary blood that was on his hand, the blood that he keeps seeing, the blood that he shed. Kai sat there, frozen.

Kyoko came out of the house holding an umbrella. "Kai-sama, you should come back in." Kyoko said. "You've been sitting there for three day. You'll catch a cold out here."

Kai simply looked at Kyoko with sad eyes. Kai looked down again, but then Kyoko helped Kai up.

"Come on, you haven't eaten anything in a while. Dinner's ready." Kyoko said. "Daisan's waiting."

Kai felt bad, but he had to move on. But what will happen . . . to Jun?

- -

"COME ON RYU!" Ryuuji shouted and kept slamming on Ryu's bed. "Wake up!"

Despite the rain in the city, the Island was really shining. It was morning and Ryuuji was trying to get Ryu out of bed.

"Come on Ryu!" Ryuuji shouted. "You finally get a day off and you're taking a nap! COME ON RYU! I want to play!"

Ryu had his back turned to Ryuuji and eyes opened. Geez, this scene looks really ironic, the dad is whining about wanting to play. Then Ryu got up. "WARGH!" Ryu shouted, surprising Ryuuji. "Get in bed!"

"What the . . ."

"JUST GET IN BED DAD!" Ryu shouted and got off of his bed. Ryuuji had question marks all over his face but then Ryuuji got into the position Ryu was in earlier. Then Ryu started slamming the bed on and on. "COME ON DADDY!" Ryu said with a childish tone. "Wake up! I want to play today! I want to play today! No more napping, I want to play with Daddy!" For a second it appeared as if Ryu was really a Chibi person.

"WHO YOU CALLING DADDY!?" Ryuuji got up and sharply glared at Ryu. "It was only for that one day!"

"I'm satisfied, let's go." Ryu said.

"Huh?" Ryuuji tilted his head in confusion as Ryu headed out the door. Ryuuji scratched his head. "What was that all about?"

- -

Lee was running around the beach. "I haven't ran to train for a while." Lee said. He was punching the air. "I really feel like I've really slacked off on my training." Lee ran around and some of the people wondered what Lee was doing. Some of the females were attracted to the strong looking Lee. Lee kept running till a blonde sixteen year old boy, wearing a typical Hawaiian shirt and white shorts, blocked one of Lee's punches. "Whoops, sorry," Lee said. Then he noticed the one who blocked was a foreigner. "Oh, probably didn't understand me." Lee tried to remember how to say sorry in English. "I punch you sorry!" Lee said in broken English. The foreign boy jerked his head back in shock. "Whoops, was I wrong." Lee wondered what was wrong. "I punch you good huh?" Again, same. The foreign boy just stared at Lee. "Uh, I don't know how to speak Engrish." Lee said in total broken English.

"Hey that's all right, I don't have any hard feelings." Said the blonde boy in fluent Japanese.

Lee looked like he got slugged by an invisible fist. "YOU CAN SPEAK JAPANESE!?" Lee was surprised.

"Why yes, I've lived in Japan for a few years before I moved to America." The Foreign Boy said.

"OH WOW!" Lee was surprised. "What brings you here then?"

"I'm just here for vacation." The Foreign Boy said. Then he covered his face. "But if only I could meet my beloved Karen, I would be so happy. My how she must look now."

Lee had question marks all over his face. "What's a Karen?" Lee asked. Now all of you may think Lee's an idiot for forgetting KAREN, but truthfully, he has every right to be confused. The Foreign Boy said Karen in fluent English and therefore sounds slightly different from how the Japanese call Karen. Therefore, it sounds quite different from what Lee knows.

"Karen is my beloved sweetheart." The Foreign Boy said. "But alas, a terrible event that happened in our Childhood separated us. But if I ever meet her again," The Foreign Boy had sparkles in his eyes, "we will finally get together."

Lee just stood there and watched the Foreign Boy do so many exaggerated anime movements. "Well then I wish you good luck with that." Lee said. "But that was a cool block."

"You think so, I studied many masters." The Foreign Boy counted on his fingers, "Karate, Muay Thai, Kung Fu, Jujitsu, Boxing, Taekwondo, Taichi, you name it, I've nearly learned it all."

"Wow, that's a lot, I don't even think Gorgeous learned that much." Lee said.

"And from my experience in Boxing, I can tell that your punches are really powerful."

"Why thank you. My dad and grandpa are Karate Instructors so they taught me a little bit of Karate. I took some Boxing Lessons and I combined both what I learned from my family and from what I learned in boxing to create powerful punches, though I seem to do boxing a lot more than Karate."

"You still seem really skilled." The Foreign Boy said. "I'm honored to meet such a strong person."

"Oh stop, you're flattering me." Lee said chuckling. "Anyway what's your name?"

"Brandon, Brandon Roberts." The Foreign Boy said.

"Well then I'll see you then Roberts." Lee said.

Brandon fell limp for a sec. "My name is Brandon, Roberts is my family name." Brandon said to Lee.

"But you just said Brandon Roberts." Lee said. (Note: Usually in Japanese the Family name comes first and the Given Name comes second. In this fic you'll notice many people saying their first names first and last names second but I'm only writing that so people don't get confused as to what the first name is. Whenever Ryu is saying his name is Ryunosuke Rekka, he's actually saying Rekka Ryunosuke. Think of it as me translating what they're saying.)

"Oh sorry, in America they say the First name first, sorry for the confusion." Brandon said with a small chuckle.

"Well then I'll be seeing you." Lee said. Brandon was off and Lee started to run and punch the air again. Lee then encountered Karen.

"Who was that?" Karen asked Lee. Karen was watching as Brandon was walking away.

"Oh just some foreign guy who blocked my punch. I really need to work on my English, I think I scared him a little in the beginning." Lee said sweat dropping.

"What did you say?"

"'I punch you sorry'." Lee said. Karen tried to hold back some laughter. "Then I said 'I punch you good huh?"

"You sound more like you're trying to hurt him." Karen said laughing out loud.

Then Lee turned his head and saw Rai and Ryn in the water splashing water at each other happily. "OOH!" Lee widened his eyes in astonishment. Kaicho really took it to the next level!

"What's wrong?" Karen asked Lee.

"What are Kaicho and Ryn doing?" Lee asked, chuckling a sheepish laugh.

"Well . . . actually . . ." Karen then explained.

Ryn was staring at the sea and she sighed. "What is it?" Rai asked.

"Oh I don't know." Ryn said. "I was just thinking, what it's like to splash around with your boyfriend."

"Eh?"

"Well, I see it in movies and it just looks romantic when the couple splash at each other in the water." Ryn said. "For once I want to experience it."

Rai stared at Ryn in awe, then he grabbed her. "What are you doing?" Ryn asked. Rai carried Ryn into the air, then he threw her into the water. "KYA!" Ryn then quickly got up. She was angry. "WHAT WAS THAT FOR!?"

Rai was in the water as well. "Well I know you want to do this with Ryu, right?" Ryn blushed. "But at least for a day, if you want to experience that, why don't you let me pretend to be your boyfriend?"

"And that's the gist of it." Karen said with a smile that seemed like it was hiding something.

Lee stared at Karen with surprise. "That smile . . ." Lee said. "You seem happy about something."

"Eh?" Karen flinched.

"That's the type of smile that Miku smiles every time something happens that keeps other girls away from Ryu." Lee said. "I wonder . . ."

"It's not like that!" Karen shouted.

"Meh whatever." Lee said. "And I thought Rai and Ryn actually became a couple." Then Lee saw Reika sitting on a towel, holding her knees together. "What's wrong Reika-chan?"

"I . . . I feel a little uneasy." Reika said, with an expression that looked really insecure. She was watching as Rai and Ryn were playing with each other.

"Hate to lose your brother huh?" Lee said.

"EH!" Reika exclaimed.

"Don't worry about it, no matter how old you two get you're still his cute little sister." Lee said patting Reika's head. "And besides, if you weren't his cute little sister, then you and him would be a cute couple."

Reika smiled . . . the she dropped her smile. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN CUTE COUPLE!?" Reika shouted kicking Lee on the head. "I'm his little sister!"

"Wow, you and Kaicho sure know how to hurt people." Lee said. Then Lee was slapped by Karen.

"Lee, perverted jokes have their limits you know." Karen said.

"Well sorry." Lee said rubbing his cheek.

Miku watch the scene and chuckle maniacally. "If everything goes according to plan, then Ryn will forget all about Ryu-kun." Miku said with a big smile and rubbing her hands together.

"Oh, is this going according to plan?" Lee asked curiously.

"UWAH! When did you get here?" Miku exclaimed.

"I just got here." Lee said. "Now what's this with Ryn forgetting about Ryu?"

"Tsk, nothing!" Miku shouted.

Lee blinked his eyes in surprise. "Wow . . . this is weird." Lee said. Lee watched as Rai and Ryn played with each other.

Then he saw someone emerging from the water, someone with a familiar face. That person walked up to Lee. "Hello . . . Lee-dono."

Lee stared at the person. "Do I know you?"

That person fell down, then back up. "I'M BAKUJYU NO KAGE!" Baku has returned!

"Oh, it's Baka!" Karen said with a smile and pointed at Baku. Baku fell again.

"I'M BAKU!" Baku shouted.

"Oh hey Baka." Reika said to Baku.

"IT'S BAKU!"

"Baku, what are you doing here?" Lee asked.

"IT'S BAKA! Oh wait . . . never mind." Baku cleared his throat. Baku pointed at Lee. "I've come for that Ryn girl again!"

Everyone was silent. "EH!?" Miku shouted. She then had sparkles in her eyes and she ran up to behind Lee. "You'll really take Ryn away!"

"AHH!" Reika and Karen covered Miku's mouth. "Be quiet." They hissed.

"Why?" Miku muffled.

"That guy is with Kai and the others." Karen replied.

Miku paused. "Kai?" Miku gasped.

"So where is the beautiful Ryn anyway?" Baku asked.

"Now that I think about it, I feel really irritated that he called Ryn beautiful and didn't give any thought to me." Miku growled.

"Oh but Ryn was the first beautiful girl that I laid my eyes upon, there's no way I can ever give her up." Baku said and took out a telescope.

"Now that I think about it, shouldn't we be fighting about now?" Miku asked.

"That's kind of what happened last time." Karen said. "Baku appeared, and we didn't fight him at all."

"Where's Ryunosuke Rekka, Ryunosuke Rekka." Then Baku found Ryn. "Whoo, found Ryn first! But wait . . . that's not Ryunosuke Rekka!" Baku shouted as he found Ryn playing with Rai. "WHAT!? I thought she belonged to Kodenred, Ryunosuke Rekka!"

Lee patted Baku. "Poor misunderstanding Baku." Lee said. "I feel sorry for you now."

"What?" Baku asked. "Why would you feel sorry? I'm your rival!"

"When did I become your rival?" Lee asked Baku, getting no answer.

Then Ryu and Ryuuji came running by, with Ryu pulling Ryuuji's hands like a child pulling their father to go buy candy. "Come on Daddy, let's go play on the beach!" Ryu happily exclaimed.

"WHO YOU CALLING DADDY!?" Ryuuji shouted. Then Baku seemingly glided to where Ryu was.

"KODENRED!" Baku shouted. Then he pointed at Ryn and Rai. "What the hell is that!?" Baku screamed. "I thought Ryn was your girlfriend!" Baku screamed.

Ryu tried to remember who Baku was. "You're . . ."

"ARGH!" Baku shouted. "Don't you remember me? I thought you were a girl first remember."

"OH YEAH! You're Baka!" Ryu shouted.

"IT'S BAKU!" Baku screamed and his face was met with a punch. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING KODENRED!?"

Ryu then kicked Baku again. "Geez, are you trying to reveal my secret?" Ryu asked. Ryu then bashed Baku with an elbow. Ryu continued with a knee kick to the face. Ryu grabbed Baku and threw Baku to the ground. Ryu jumped and stomped Baku on the gut. Baku grunted in pain. Then Ryu kicked Baku into the air. Ryu jumped and executed a flying side kick on Baku.

Ryuuji was sitting down and ate popcorn from a bag where even he didn't know where he got. "This is better than a movie." Ryuuji said.

Ryu punched Baku hard. "Hey wait." Baku said then Ryu kicked Baku on the face. "Wait a minute." Ryu punched Baku on the gut then the face. "I SAID STOP!" Ryu's incoming fist stopped right in front of Baku's face.

"Why?" Ryu asked. "I was told you're an enemy. This is a perfect chance to defeat you."

"BUT I'M NOT GOING TO ATTACK YOU!" Baku shouted. Ryu widened his eyes in surprise and his fist slowly inched away from Baku's face. "I come in peace! I have no intentions of killing any of you!"

"Weird . . ." Ryu said. "You even dress like Raiju." Then Ryu walked away without Baku noticing.

"Anyway I came to talk about Ryn and that Kodengreen guy's relationship . . . ARE YOU IGNORING ME!?" Baku screamed.

"I don't want to associate myself with people like you." Ryu said.

"WHAT! What the hell are you talking about!?" Baku screamed.

Ryu then took out a chart. Ryuuji was drinking coke from a straw and eating a hamburger. On the chart that Ryu took out were various pictures depicting chibi versions of people that Ryu knows. "You see, in my life the people I meet are categorized in many categories." Ryu pointed to the first category with a stick. "First are the friends that I see everyday." In this category lies Ryn, Karen, Miku, Reika, Rai, and Lee.

"WHY ARE THERE HEARTS ON RAI'S NAME!?" Ryuuji spat out his coke and screamed.

"Huh?" Ryu looked at Rai's name. "But there are hearts on Ryn, Karen, and Miku-san, and Shishi-chan's names."

"How come Lee doesn't have any!?" Ryuuji shouted.

"MOVING ON!" Ryu pointed to the next category. "Here are my enemies." On the category are Kai, Kyoko, Daisan, and Takeshi-sensei. "And then there are the people that I really want to spend time with but barely ever get any time to do so." On this category are Maya, a woman named Ryn-nee (immortal Ryn to be precise) and Mai-sensei. Hearts were on their names. "Here are the people that I know but don't really spend time with." Here are Takumi, Shinji, Tak-san which is odd because we all know that Tak-san and Takeshi-sensei are the same people, and Kodenknight which is odd because Ryu categorize Takumi in this category as well and we all know that Kodenknight is Takumi. "And here are my foreign friends from other countries!" On this category are Rick and Mick from 'Happy Halloween', boys named David, Ryan, and some Chinese Boys named Andrew and Daniel. "Here are the people I want to kill." Raiju, Pervert 1, Pervert 2, Pervert 3, Pervert ETC, Thug 1, Thug 2, Thug 3, Thug ETC.

"Who the hell are those people?" Ryuuji and Baku asked.

"People I'm going to meet in the future." Ryu replied. Weird . . . thought Ryuuji and Baku.

Ryuuji then noticed something. "OH MY GOD! Why do I have my own category!?"

'DADDY!' was the name of the Category that Ryuuji mentioned. "Because you're my daddy." Ryu replied.

"STOP JOKING AROUND!" Ryuuji screamed.

"And this is where you're at." Ryu said to Baku. Ryu pointed to one last category. "These are the people that I have no idea what they are in my life."

"HOW DID I GET ON THIS CHART SO FAST!?" Baku shouted. "You only met me once before!"

Ojii-chan, Uncle Strange Man-san, and Baku are on this chart. "Now you see normally I wouldn't associate myself on this chart (Ryuuji: That Baka guy is the only one that you don't.) (Baku: MY NAME IS BAKU!) but since Ojii-chan raised me I feel a some sort of bond with him. Uncle Strange Man-san was like a surrogate father for me so I do talk to him from time to time. But you, I have no idea what the hell you are!" Ryu pointed at Baku. "You are my enemy, yet you're not my enemy, and I want to beat my enemy, yet you're not my enemy, yet you are my enemy. WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU!?" Ryu scoffed and rolled up his chart. "Never talk to me again!"

"HUH!?" Baku just sat there all confused as to what was going on. "For some reason . . . I kind of felt like I just got dump."

Ryuuji patted Baku's head. "Don't worry, all men face that once in their lifetime."

"Have you?"

"Me? HELL NO! My first girlfriend is still my girlfriend and I get to tap that everyday! Well not now since I'm stuck here but when I go back that's what will happen!" Ryuuji pumped his fist. Then Ryuuji ran off.

Baku blinked his eyes. "These people are all weird."

- -

Kai walked in the rain carrying an umbrella. He wore his civilian clothes. Kai walked to the cemetery. There was a funeral being held for Jun's father. Jun wore a black dress and she was crying her eyes out. Kai stood there as the funeral went on and the coffin went into the hole. A few seniors were talking amongst themselves, talking about Jun's fate. Where was she going to go now that her father was killed?

Kai stood there and tears fell down his cheek. He didn't want to do it, he didn't want to kill that man. Kai looked at the hand that killed Jun's father and Kai again saw imaginary blood on it. He could take it anymore. Kai for a long time promised himself never to kill again, not after what he had done to that family . . . not after he eliminated the parents of Kodengreen.

- -

Rai sneezed. "Is something wrong Rai?" Ryn asked.

"No . . . it's nothing." Rai said rubbing his nose.

"Come on, maybe we should get out of the water." Ryn said. Ryn and Rai got out of the water, then they encountered Ryu who had sparkles in his eyes. "RYU!"

"Wai." Ryu squealed. "Ryn . . . I didn't know you and Shishi-san were dating."

There was a long moment of silence between the three. "Eh . . . EH!?" Rai and Ryn shouted. "We . . . we're not . . ." They kept pointing at each other.

"He's not."

"She's not."

"You don't have to say anymore." Ryu said. Then he placed his hands on Rai's shoulders. "Take good care of her Shishi-san." Ryu gave Rai a thumbs up, then Ryu ran away. "I hope to see children from you two one day! I won't forgive you Shishi-san if you dump her!"

Rai and Ryn just watched as Ryu ran away with their mouths agape. "WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED!?" Rai and Ryn screamed in unison.

Lee, Karen, Miku, and Reika froze in place after they witnessed what Ryu just said to Rai. Lee looked at Karen. "Hey, wasn't that a little weird?" Lee asked.

"I . . . that felt kind of odd coming from Ryu-san's mouth." Karen said.

"Yeah, I expected him to hit Kaicho, not act all happy for the two." Lee said. At least now I bet Kaicho won't hold back and actually ask Ryn out.

"Well it makes me happy that Ryu-kun's ok with them two being together!" Miku stretched her body as she smiled. "This is going to be great!"

Reika pouted and hid her face behind her knees. "Onii-chan." She sobbed.

"But I wonder why Ryu-san didn't hit Rai-san and call him a pervert." Karen remarked.

"Quite odd, usually Ryu would beat down people like that." Lee said.

"Well you see, Ryu-Ojou is not as violent as you would think she is." Shinji said. "She is great friends with Ryn and therefore wishes Ryn happiness. Rai is the one Ryu-Ojou loves so therefore also wishes Rai his happiness. Therefore, when Ryu-Ojou's best friend and crush get together, it would only be natural for her to bless them."

"Ryu in love with Rai?" Lee, Karen, Miku, and Reika were silent for a bit. Then they all attacked Shinji. "RYU'S A GUY!" They all screamed, hitting Shinji away. Actually Shinji blocked a fist and faked himself getting hit so he could 'fly' away.

Shinji sat on the sand and said when he was out of earshot, "I know that already, but it is true. For some reason Ryu is in love with Rai . . . subconsciously."

Then Ryuuji came out and ram Ryu. "YOU BAKA!" Ryuuji screamed. After Ryuuji's ramming of Ryu, this allowed sight of Baku.

"So it is true . . . Ryn is actually the girlfriend of Kodengreen." Baku held his chin and nodded.

"WAH DADDY!" Ryu started to cry. "Why did you hit me!?"

"WHOSE YOUR DADDY!?" Ryuuji screamed. "Anyways, RYN IS IN LOVE WITH YOU!"

Ryu's ears perked up. "What have you been smoking?" Ryu asked. "She's my best friend, she wouldn't be in love with me."

"SHE'S THE ONE WHO ASKED ME OUT WHEN SHE THOUGHT I WAS YOU!" Ryuuji growled.

"You asked her out hoping to do perverted things to her." Ryu said. "I can't believe you dad."

"STOP TWISTING MY NONEXISTENT WORDS!" Ryuuji growled yet again. Ryuuji sighed a sigh of exasperation. Ryuuji then grabbed Ryu's collar. "Ryn is in love with you, she promised you to be your wife, do you not understand any of that?"

Ryu looked away. "That was a promise when we were kids." Ryu pushed Ryuuji away. For once, Ryu started acting like himself before he found out that Ryuuji was his father and actually did something so he could separate from Ryuuji. "I'm pretty sure she's moved on." Ryu had a serious expression. "As long as she's happy, I'm happy." He turned his head away and walked off.

"I don't get that guy." Ryuuji muttered.

"He's in great denial." Ojii-chan said popping out of nowhere. "I actually think he's denying that he wants to do perverted things to many people."

"WAH OJII-CHAN!?" Ryuuji shrieked like a girl. "WHEN DID YOU GET HERE!?"

"I HAVE A NAME!" Ojii-chan pointed to the sky and the words 'Genta Umemori' formed on the sky. "Now help me sell sushi." Ojii-chan pointed to a sushi cart that read 'Gold Sushi.'

"Um . . . I HAVE A DATE WITH A BEAUTIFUL GIRL!" Ryuuji ran off away from Ojii-chan.

"LIAR!" Ojii-chan chased Ryuuji while pulling the Sushi Cart along. Ojii-chan made sparks as he ran through the sand somehow.

"Hey look at that Ojii-chan go." Said a pedestrian.

"I HAVE A NAME!" Ojii-chan pointed to that guy and the words 'Genta Umemori' formed on the Sushi Cart.

- -

Kai stood at the entrance of the cemetery and watched as the people started talking about Jun's fate. "What should we do?"

"Should we let her stay with her uncle and aunt?"

"But how do we get in contact with them?"

"That's a great problem. Does she have any relatives in the city?"

"Not that I know of."

"It can't be help." Said the one of the seniors. "I think she will have to go to a foster home."

Kai grunted and his eyes widened. He got a flashback of the times that he spent with his family, and the day that they got slaughtered. He remembered his tears as his family was being killed by a madman. Kai clenched his fists. He knew what it was like to be with a foster parent. The man who took him in, the Kage Lord, lord of the shadows. If Jun got into a similar foster family, then Jun may lose herself forever.

Despite being taken in by the Kage Lord, Kai retained his heart. It was evident through his battles as he always tried to better Ryu. What does this heart hold for his future?

Kai reached into his clothes and pulled out his golden mask. He didn't know why, but he felt like he had this bond with the girl. He felt that he had to apologize for what he did. Kai jumped up into the air and black flames surrounded his clothes and formed into his usual battle outfit. People looked up as they felt a presence in the air. Kai flipped in the air and his umbrella was thrown into the air. Kai landed and grabbed Jun and held her between her arms. Everyone gasped when they saw Kai. "I'm taking this girl." Kai said and caught his umbrella. He then jumped away as Jun struggled in his arms.

The people stood there in shock, frozen . . . or so it seemed. Eventually, everyone around started to chuckle maniacally.

"It's going according to plan." Said a voice that seemingly came from nowhere. Then the earth around the grave of Jun's father opened up. Some of the 'people' bowed as a figure emerged from the ground. That voice . . . that familiar voice . . . it was insane, maniacal, heartless. The figure emerged, Raiju. "Very soon, I will show you the true meaning of despair, OROCHI KAI!" Raiju laughed maniacally. What does Raiju's appearance mean?

- -

Kai was building jumping away." LET ME GO!" Jun shouted and flailed in Kai's arms. "LET ME GO YOU MURDERER!" Jun shouted.

"Stop struggling." Kai said calmly.

"WHY! You killed daddy, I'm not going to let you do the same to me!" The little girl shouted. Then she felt something hit her head. It felt like . . . water. Sure it was raining, but Kai was covering her with an umbrella. Jun looked up and tears were streaming down from under Kai's eyes. Jun gasped.

"I'm . . . sorry." Kai said. Jun stopped struggling and let Kai carry her away.

- -

Lee was doing some push-ups and sit-ups when Baku came up to Lee. "Hey, Lee." Baku said.

"What?" Lee asked as he was coming up for a Sit-up, then Lee went back down.

"Tell Kodengreen I want you and him to have a two on two match with me." Baku gave out the challenge.

Lee actually sat up. "Huh?"

"I've fallen in love with Ryn at first sight when I first saw her in that cheerleader outfit." Baku said with a determined look on his face.

Lee stared at Baku with wide eyes and an opened mouth. "Um . . . you don't even know Ryn though.:

"But she seemed so gentle, so calm, so caring . . . I want her! I won't hand her over to Kodengreen. I already mistaken you once for Kodenred and it doesn't seem like pursuing Kodenred will get me any closer to Ryn so I will take her from Kodengreen!"

Lee blinked his eyes to process the information. Then he tried to recall a moment where Ryn was actually kind and caring.

"ECCHI!" Ryn punched Lee.

"PERVERT!" Ryn kicked Lee.

"BRING IT ON!" Ryn got into a cat fight with Miku and Karen accidentally got into the mix.

"I really think you got everything wrong." Lee said, but Baku was lost in his (Baku) own little world. "So you want me and Kaicho to play against you and some other guy?"

"That is correct!" Baku said. "We will be participating in a couple of beach games." Baku ran off. "Make sure Kodengreen comes!"

Lee sweat dropped. "Well I know Baku is extremely athletic, but no way would Kaicho and I lose against him and someone else."

- -

The rain for some reason stopped when Kai reached his house, Kai opened the house and let Jun in first. "Kai-sama, you're back." Kyoko said.

"Yeah." Kai said.

Kyoko was in the kitchen making lunch. She had a pink apron on. She took notice of Jun. "Kai-sama, who is that?"'

"It's someone I have to help." Kai said nervously. Kyoko watched Kai scratch the back of his head, and Kyoko smiled. Kai always had a kind heart.

Kyoko went on to cooking, and as the pan sizzled, Kyoko remembered the first time she met Kai.

Kyoko was just five years old, and she was all alone. All she had was a black book with her and the clothes on her. The rain was falling as Kyoko sat down on the sidewalk. People walked past the homeless child, ignoring her.

One person stopped for her. Someone who looked like a sixteen year old teenager. "It is fated that your powers would go berserk." That person was Kai. He reached out his hand for the young Kyoko. "Come with me, and I'll help you."

Kyoko looked at Kai's hand, then at Kai's face. Despite him sounding cold earlier, he had a kind face. Kyoko held Kai's hand.

Then Kai jumped high into the air while he held Kyoko, and Kyoko gasped in awe as it she saw the city from the sky. It was as if Kai was flying. When Kyoko looked at Kai's back, there were ten black wings on his back. Kyoko gripped closer to Kai. She felt safe in Kai's arms.

Kai took care of Kyoko then. Despite Kai being much older than Kyoko age-wise and Kai being pretty much a father figure for Kyoko, the time together between them created a special bond, love.

A twelve year old Kyoko and Kai were in the forest. Kai stood on top of a cliff and Kyoko stood a few feet behind him. "Kyo-chan . . ." Kai said. He sighed, then watched the rising sun. "Our world is a world filled with sorrow and pain. We dwell in the shadows to cause chaos. All we can do is hurt people." He turned to Kyoko with sad eyes. "A good girl like you shouldn't have to carry such big burdens." Kyoko was crying her eyes out. "This is where, I take my leave." Kai was about to jump off again.

"NO!" Kyoko screamed and she dived for Kai. Kai was surprised when Kyoko grabbed him from behind. Her impact with Kai pushed the both of them off the cliff. Kai held onto Kyoko to protect her as they fell through some trees. Kai's back collided with the ground, but he was fine.

"Kyoko . . . what are you doing?"

"YOU IDIOT!" Kyoko screamed. Then she passionately kissed Kai on the lips. She pulled back and Kai was really surprised. "I don't want to leave you, I love you!"

"Kyoko . . ." Kai said softly. Then he chuckled. He then held her head up close to his face. "You know that this type of relationship is indecent right?"

"I don't want to leave you." Kyoko said. "I really don't want to leave you."

"Fine." Kai said. "But if you're going to stay, then I might as well start treating you like one of my underlings."

"That's fine." Kyoko rose her head up and she was smiling as the sun rose into the sky. "As long as I don't have to part with you, I'll be fine."

Kyoko sighed after she remembered the events. Even though Kai said that he would treat her like an underling, he only played around at times and acted tough to her a few times. In truth, Kai has a big heart. Even though Kai won't admit it, he is truly a kind man.

Daisan came out and noticed Jun. "Kai . . . who is . . . this?" Daisan said slowly.

"She's going to be staying with us from now on." Kai said.

Jun then held onto Kai's leg. "What's . . . wrong?" Daisan asked.

"You . . . you're scary." Jun said to Daisan.

Daisan stood there and realized why. Daisan was a pretty large fellow. "I'll . . . be going to the kitchen."

Jun then gripped Kai's leg tightly. "Orochi . . . are you going to be taking care of me from now on?" Jun asked.

Kai was silent for bit. "Jun, I'm sorry for what I did." Kai said and kneeled to Jun. Kai hugged Jun, "I'll take care of you from now on." Kai held Jun close to her. "I'll make sure I make it up to you somehow."

Kyoko smiled. "I'm glad to know you haven't change, Orochiro."

Ryu was stomping through the beach, when Jiro came flying by. "You know that Ryn girl really does like you right?" Jiro asked Ryu.

Ryu pouted. "Even you're trying to tell me that?" Ryu said.

"You denying something ?" Jiro asked.

"Whatever could you be meaning?" Ryu asked innocently.

"You know I have some secrets of my own. For one I had an indecent relationship with the one I love."

"Oh?" Ryu asked curiously. "What was so indecent?"

"For one, our relation was a little complicated. We had to keep our relationship secret to everyone. I never told your dad, but I think he slowly started to realize the relationship I had with her."

"I guess great heroes have their secrets." Ryu said with a calm smile.

"Yes, yes."

"What was so indecent anyway?"

"For one, that person was my sister." Jiro said, but Ryu couldn't hear as there was a big commotion coming from Lee and Rai.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE'RE COMPETING FOR RYN!?" Rai shouted.

Lee shushed Rai. "Not so loud." Lee said. Lee sighed. "Baku thinks you're Ryn's boyfriend and wants to win Ryn from you."

"But she's not my . . ."

"Just go along with it." Lee said. "We just have to win, that's it!"

"What's this about winning?" Ryu asked with the green ball of light that is Jiro flying next to his head.

Lee and Rai looked like they got slugged when they saw the ball of light that is Jiro. "Um . . . nothing. Just a competition." Rai said.

"A competition . . . then you need announcers!" Ryu ran off. "I'm going to get Daddy to help!"

Rai and Lee blinked their eyes in confusion. "Seriously, he just calls Ryuuji 'Daddy' way too much lately." Lee said. Rai kept staring at the ball of that is Jiro.

Then a little kid noticed Jiro. "WAI! Look mommy, a flying ball!"

"Whoops, got to run." Jiro flew off, but was then eaten by a dog, which then spat him out. "EW GROSS!"

"You should be more careful," said a voice that appeared to have come from the same spot where Jiro was, "Little Brother." That voice was female.

"Come on Sis, aren't I always careful?"

Rai and Lee tried to confirm with each other about the flying ball which was Jiro . . . and apparently his sister as well. "Did you just see a . . ." Rai said.

"Flying Ball of light? Yep." Lee nodded.

"And it was hovering next to Ryu too." Rai said. "What was that ball?"

- -

"HELLO ALL!" Ryu's voice boomed from the speakers as he spoke into a microphone. There was a huge crowd at the beach. "Welcome to our Beach Battle Royale! In this competition, our participants will participate in numerous events to see who is the best of them all. Will the two students from Yatsude High School win, or will the mysterious Baka and his friend win?"

"IT'S BAKU!" Baku shouted at Ryu. Baku wore white swim trunks. Baku's companion was a tough looking guy who wore a gold swim trunk. This guy is not human, but something in disguise.

"Whatever." Ryu muttered. "Now, our first event is swimming! What do you have to say about this?" Ryu turned to Ryuuji.

Ryuuji held his microphone up to his mouth and didn't say anything.

"You are a man of few words, we shall begin in a few short minutes!"

"Wow, you look really enthusiastic." Karen said to Ryu.

"Why thank you." Ryu said, beaming a smile.

"You seem happier lately, I wonder why." Karen commented.

"Ah just some stuff's been going on. Some very good stuff." Ryu said, shocking Ryuuji.

"HEY WHAT THE!? You beat me for doing perverted stuff but you go ahead and do so!?" Ryuuji shouted.

"IT'S NOT A PERVERTED THING DAD!" Ryu shouted hitting Ryuuji with a T shape thing. "BE GONE DEMON!"

"What the!?" Ryuuji shouted. "That's not a cross, and it's not even a Lower Case T, it's a Capitalize T!" Ryuuji then took out an M shape thing. "But whatever, it's go time!" The two started clashing their letters.

Karen however noticed that while Ryuuji was really trying to beat Ryu, Ryu was actually having fun, as if it was like a child having fun with their father. Karen tapped Ryu's shoulder. "What is it?" Ryu kept clashing letters.

"Is . . . Ryuuji your dad?" Karen asked. Ryuuji and Ryu flinched.

"Why ever would you ask such a silly question?" Ryu said with a smile that hid something. "He's not my dad!" I can't tell anyone about the truth of our relationship.

"But you've lately been calling Ryuuji 'Dad'." Karen said. "You're not trying to hide something from us are you?"

"NO!" Ryu said with the same lying smile. "I wouldn't hide anything that I shouldn't be hiding from you Karen."

"O . . . K." Karen said.

But in Ryuuji's head, something started to spark. Wait . . . does Ryu think I'm his dad? I know I have a son here in this time, but now that I think about it, Ryu's the only person I've met who actually looks like me. Could he be . . . nah, he's probably just a person who looks like me, nothing else.

At this moment, Ryn was walking up to Lee and Rai to wish them good luck, but Baku walked up to her. "I'll be waiting." Baku said, then chuckle maniacally as he passed Ryn.

"Eh?" Ryn wondered if Baku was talking to her.

At this moment, Baku tapped Ryn's back lightly. A dark flash appeared from Baku's finger. What could this mean?

Ryn threw a punch at Baku because she felt Baku touch her, but Baku dodged and moved away. Ryn puffed her cheeks. "Geez, men are such pigs."

- -

"Now let's begin with our Beach Battle Royale!" Ryu announced into the microphone. Ryuuji had a bump on his head because Ryu's T won in the end. "First event, Dash Swimming!" Ryuuji and Ryu pointed to a giant rock out at sea. "Whichever team's members goes around that rock back to this island, wins! One member will go first and then get back to shore to tag the other member so that member could go. LET'S BEGIN!"

Lee and Baku were first to go. "Prepare to lose Lee." Baku said to Lee as they prepared to dive.

"In your dreams." Lee said. "I haven't lost in swimming yet and I won't be losing now."

Oh but it is not you who shall lose, but Kodengreen. Baku thought.

"START!" Ryu shouted and Ryuuji fired an air pistol.

Lee and Baku quickly dove into the water and started swimming as fast as they could. Lee was beating Baku easily. The distance between the two was pretty good for Lee.

"It seems Lee Hamura is doing well." Ryu said. "And that big gap between Lee and Baku is really showing signs for Yatsude High's victory. GO LEE! BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF HIM!"

"Man you're aggressive." Ryuuji said. "And I can't believe that I said that to you of all people."

"Hey Ryu-kun," Miku said, "don't you find that a little strange?"

"What is it Miku-san?" Ryu asked.

"Well doesn't it seem like that Baku isn't trying?" Miku pointed at Baku.

Ryu squinted his eyes to try to see Baku from afar. Baku seemed all calm and relaxed as he swam. "You're right . . . he doesn't look like he's putting much effort into his strokes . . . but why?"

"Could he be up to something?" Miku asked.

"I sure hope not, but if anything does happen, Lee and Shishi-san know how to handle it." Ryu said, smirking like his father.

"OH MY GOD!" Ryuuji screamed. "YOU SMIRKED!" He never expected Ryu to ever have a smile like that. "THE WORLD IS ENDING! THE WORLD IS ENDING!"

Ryu sighed. His father was so weird.

There you go. Baku said. No matter what you do, you won't be able to win.

Lee ran up the sand to tag Rai's hand. Rai then ran to the water and quickly dove in and started swimming freestyle. Rai passed Baku and Baku chuckled manically. Rai didn't notice and kept swimming. Baku then got up on shore and calmly walked to his comrade.

"What is this?" Ryu called out into the microphone. "Baku's not rushing! He's calmly walking up to his teammate! Doesn't he want to win!?"

Baku walked up to his comrade and tagged. "Boom." Baku whispered, then Baku's teammate ran . . . ON WATER!

"HOLY COW!" Ryu quickly stood straight up. "That guy is running on water!"

"How uncanny." Ryuuji said rubbing his chin.

Rai was swimming, when all of a sudden, he saw Baku's teammate pass him. "WHAT!" Rai shouted. Baku's teammate dashed all the way to the rock. Baku's teammate ran behind the rock, but didn't seem to emerge. Something was wrong and Rai swam to the back of the rock.

Then from behind the rock, Baku's teammate pounced on Rai. Rai struggled with Baku's teammate from behind but eventually, Rai sunk.

"What's going on?" Ryu asked. He kept tapping his foot. "Why hasn't any one of them emerge yet?"

Baku's teammate came from around the rock swimming.

"Well he's swimming now." Ryu muttered. "But where is Shishi-san!? Maybe we should wait."

- -

EYE-CATCH! Have any upbeat music play at this moment. Rai punches the air and Lee punches behind him. The two pass each other, smiling as they are best friends. The words Elemental Sentai Kodenranger form in the corner. When the screen returns, Kodengreen slashes the screen with his Shishi Axe and Kodenblue use his Tenma Bell Knuckle to punch behind Kodengreen. The two face the screen and the words Elemental Sentai Kodenranger form. Both Kodenblue and Kodengreen kick the screen and the story continues.

- -

Baku's teammate wasn't really a fast swimmer but for a long time Rai didn't emerge. The crowd was silent as they felt something was wrong.

"Onii-chan!" Reika screamed. "What's going on!? Why hasn't he come yet!?"

"What the hell!?" Ryu shouted. "This doesn't seem right! Why hasn't Shishi-san emerged yet!?"

"Onii-chan didn't . . . drown did he?" Reika whimpered.

"Don't worry, I don't think Shishi-san will easily drown like that." Ryu said. "But I'm worried."

"But I don't think he would stay behind like that." Karen said. "He's not the type to want to lose."

"That is true, he's never been the one to give up on a challenge." Miku said.

"Kaicho is ok, I know it!" Lee said. "He's just . . . waiting for the perfect chance."

Ryn looked onwards. "Rai . . . you're ok right." She whispered and held her hands together. For some reason, she was really worried about Rai. Ryn shook her head when she thought about Rai and muttered, "why am I getting so worked up about this?"

Baku smirked. FOOLS! Kodengreen is dead! Once my Kagejyu finishes this, the challenge will be over because Lee is downed to only one person, and Ryn shall be mine.

As revealed by Baku, his teammate is a Kagejyu. What kind of Kagejyu it is remains unknown. The Kagejyu disguised as a human kept swimming and it seemed that all hope was lost for Lee and Rai to win. It also seemed that Rai . . . may truly have drowned.

But wait! Someone ran up the rock. "YOU BASTARD!" Rai screamed at the Kagejyu. "You dare cheat and try to drown me!"

"He's ok!" Ryu shouted into his microphone.

"ONII-CHAN!" Reika shouted happily and the crowd cheered.

"WHAT!" Baku shouted. "He . . . he's alive!"

"I told you Kaicho was ok!" Lee exclaimed loudly and he wrapped a hand around Karen.

Ryn sighed a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness." She smiled.

Miku noticed what Ryn did, and Miku chuckled playfully. "Oh, have you moved on Tsubasa Ryn?" Miku had perverted eyes fixed on Ryn.

"What . . . it's not like that!" Ryn shouted.

But no matter, no way will Kodengreen be able to catch up. Baku chuckled.

"Damn you!" Rai shouted and pointed at the Kagejyu. Rai growled. "You're not a normal human are you?" Earlier when Rai struggled against Baku's teammate, Rai could've sworn he saw Baku's teammate transform into a black Anubis Kagejyu. "Might as well use this on you!" Rai ran down the giant rock. It seemed green lightning started to gather on Rai. "WOI YAH!" Rai made a giant leap, boosted by shooting unnoticeable green lighting from his bare feet. Rai launched himself high into the air.

"WHOA!" Ryu shouted. "Shishi-san has made a miraculous giant leap!"

"OH MY GOD!" Rai screamed when he passed the Kagejyu. "I overdid it!"

"Shishi-san has just flown past Baku's nameless teammate!" Ryu shouted. Then he looked at Ryuuji. "Hey why is he nameless?"

"Probably didn't give a name to us." Ryuuji replied.

"I never knew Rai-san could fly." Karen gasped in awe as Rai screamed as he 'flew' in the air.

"Really surprised me too." Lee whistled as Rai 'flew'.

"UWAH!" Rai flailed in the air and reached shore before the Kagejyu did. Rai crashed into Ryn. Ryn screamed when Rai pinned her to the ground.

"And Shishi-san wins!" Ryu shouted pumping his fist. "Whoo and what an entry! Attacking his girlfriend." The crowd laughed.

- -

Ojii-chan's ears perked up. "I sense a disturbance in the force!" Ojii-chan said. He got up on his sushi cart and looked around. "Ryu just said something perverted! And I have a name!" Ojii-chan pointed to the sky and the words 'Genta Umemori' were on his apron.

- -

"Wait, this isn't!" Rai shouted. "It's not what it looks like!" Rai shouted.

The Kagejyu entered shore, and everyone stared at Rai pinning Ryn down.

"Oh, no need to hide it . . . I mean mister boyfriend has his hands on what belongs to him, ho ho ho." Ryu chuckled sheepishly.

- -

Tak-san, hiding his face with his hat, looked up. "I feel a disturbance in the Earth's lifeline . . . Ryu said something perverted!"

"Help." Takeshi whined as he was stuck on a tree. Tak-san grabbed a ladder and helped Takeshi down.

- -

Rai's hand on was Ryn's breast. "OH MY GOD!" Rai screamed.

"Onii-chan . . . YOU IDIOT!" Reika screamed.

"This isn't what it looks like!" Rai screamed.

"BAKA RAI!" Ryn screamed and kicked Rai away.

"WHY ME!" Rai went flying again.

"HEY!" Baku shouted. "There's no way he won, that was against the rule! He had to swim around the rock and come back! Rai ran on top of the rock!"

"Technically I said that you had to go around the rock, I didn't say you had to swim around it." Ryu said. "And running on top of the rock and making a big jump back to shore is technically a win because he went around the rock back to shore."

"WHAT!?" Baku screamed. "FOUL I CALL FOUL!" Ryu kicked Baku.

Ryu looked up and saw Rai flying still. Ryu whistled. "Wow, Shishi-san sure knows how to fly." Then he chuckled. "And that's a guy who know what he wants, let's give him an applause!" Everyone in the crowd clapped.

"RYU!" Ryn shouted, but she couldn't bring herself to say anything else.

- -

Shinji sniffed the air. "Something feels wrong with the Earth's life . . . RYU SAID SOMETHING PERVERTED!" He shouted as he practiced his Byakko Kenpo in the woods.

- -

Lee, Karen, and Miku stared at Ryu. "YOU'RE RYUUJI AREN'T YOU!?" They shouted.

The real Ryuuji tapped their shoulders. "Actually I'm Ryuuji, we didn't switch clothes today."

"How can you prove it?" Miku asked. Then Ryuuji turned Miku around and grabbed Miku's swimsuit.

"COME ON! Let's take this bikini off!" Ryuuji said with a lecherous tone.

"KYA!" Miku screamed and elbowed Ryuuji. Then Ryu kicked Ryuuji.

"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU DAD! You already have mom!" Ryu shouted.

"WHOSE YOUR DAD AND MOM!?" Ryuuji screamed.

"What is going on?" Karen asked. Lee shrugged. Miku muttered curses to Ryuuji under her breath.

Then Ojii-chan came running over with sparks coming from the 'Gold Sushi' cart. "What's this I hear about a competition on the beach!?" Ojii-chan shouted and sniffed the air. Everyone ignored him.

Lee was helping Rai out as Rai was hurting everywhere after his last 'flight'. "Man, this is painful." Rai grunted. "Why did Ryu have to say all those perverted things? No scratch that, why did he say perverted things? Ryu of all people."

"He was probably getting back at you, because he really believes that you and Ryn are dating." Lee said.

"I knew it, Ryu wouldn't approve of me trying to date Ryn." Rai sighed.

Then Ryu came up to Rai. Ryu appeared to be glaring at Rai. Rai prepared to be yelled at, then Ryu quickly held his hands together in front of his face. "I'm sorry Shishi-san!" Ryu shouted.

"Eh?" Rai wondered what Ryu meant.

"I didn't mean to embarrass you, but as an announcer I had to find something to make the audience laugh and your relationship with Ryn was the thing that came up." Ryu bowed to Rai. "Please don't hate me for this."

"Oh, ok." Rai said nodding in astonishment.

"Ok Shishi-san! See you!" Ryu ran off, but came back. "Oh and Rai, make sure you're aggressive! Women love it when their man takes them savagely and starts . . . doing it." Ryu twitched his face to indicate a certain movement.

- -

At Kai's house, Kai, Kyoko, Daisan, and Jun were having lunch, when Kai felt a disturbance. "I feel a disturbance in the darkness . . . RYUNOSUKE REKKA SAID SOMETHING PERVERTED!" Kai shouted.

- -

"WHAT THE HELL!" Rai shouted and Ryu ran off. "Lee . . . has Ryu been replaced by someone perverted?"

"I . . . hope so." Lee said. "He just seems so weird acting like . . . Ryuuji." Lee shivered. "Ryuuji's image doesn't fit Ryu."

Then a Kuroko handed Ryu a piece of paper. "Oh no . . . don't tell me . . ." Rai had a bad feeling that the paper was something that indicated a change of events to odd silly events . . . just like at the school track.

Ryu shrieked. "WHAT THE HELL IS THIS!?" Ryu shouted at the Kuroko. The Kuroko bowed and ran away. "What kind of events are these!? Bodybuilding, Seduce the most girls . . . what kind of games are these!?" Then a Kuroko handed Ryu a big red book. Ryu read the book. "WHAT KIND OF RULES ARE THESE!?" Ryu looked at the author's name. "By Ojii-chan . . . I KNEW IT! Only he would think up something as weird as this!" Then Ryu turned around and glare daggers at Rai, Lee, Baku, and the Kagejyu. "YOU FOUR GO!"

"WHAT!?"

"GO HURRY UP!" Ryu growled and pointed at the piece of paper. "My dignity as an announcer is on the line, so hurry up and finish it up so we can get to the last event which is normal! HURRY UP!"

"OK MA'AM!" Rai, Lee, and Baku bellowed. Lee jumped on top of Rai's shoulders and Baku jumped on top of his teammate's shoulders. Rai and Baku started to run for no reason whatsoever, carrying their teammates.

"I'M A GUY!" Ryu shrieked to the heavens.

"OK SIR!"

Ryu mumbled. "Ryu." Ryn tapped Ryu's shoulder. "Are you ok?"

"Huh? Aren't I always ok?" Ryu asked. Then Ryn placed her forehead on Ryu's forehead, making Ryu blush. "Ryn." Ryu whined.

"You don't have a fever." Ryn said. "How come you're acting so weird?"

"OK!" Ryu shouted into his microphone and turned away from Ryn. "Our competitors are going at it again!" Ryu sighed then turned to the camera. "Let's just skip this to the end."

-- Fast Forward--

"Our last event, the only normal one left, Beach Volleyball!" Ryu announced and directed attention to a volleyball court on the sand. "Both teams have been neck and neck in the events and this is the tiebreaker . . . DON'T YOU DARE LOSE, STUDENTS OF YATSUDE!"

"Ryu sure is . . . pushy today." Lee said.

"Remember, we can't lose this." Rai said to Lee. Lee nodded.

"Hai, hai, Kaicho." Lee said. "Because if we lose, Baku wins Ryn."

Ryn sneezed. "Hey Ryn, you sure you're not the one with a fever." Ryu said and he placed a hand on Ryn's forehead.

"Eh Ryu."

"Nope, you seem fine." Ryu said and looked back at the game. Ryu threw the volleyball into the sky. "GO!"

Lee set the ball for Rai, then Rai slammed the ball over to Baku's side. Baku side stepped and quickly hit the ball back. Lee then blocked and spiked the ball at Baku, knocking both Baku and the Kagejyu out. "Eh?" Lee and Rai said.

Ryu whistled. "Wow that was quick. BUT CONTINUE! We need to get to fifty points or else this won't count!"

Rai and Lee looked at each other, and shrugged. Then they kept hitting the volleyball to Baku's side on and on till they got forty-nine points. "Well this will end it." Rai said. Rai served.

Baku's eyes opened up. "This is the end." Baku said maniacally. He quickly got up and white flames surrounded him, bestowing him with his robe.

"What the . . ." Ryu gasped.

Then Baku's teammate stood up and roared. Baku's teammate transformed into his Kagejyu form, a Jackal form resembling Anubis. It was black in color with red eyes and had many Egyptian accessories on, especially a golden Ankh on his neck. The Kagejyu had a giant Axe strapped to his back.

"It's a . . . MONSTER!" Ryuuji screamed into his microphone.

"Shit." Ryu growled.

The civilians, save for Reika and Ojii-chan, screamed and ran out of the beach. Baku however, continued the game.

The Anubis Kagejyu stopped the ball in midair with its powers, then Baku multiplied the ball into fifty balls. "Take this." Baku said. Baku pushed the air and the multiple balls crashed down on Rai and Lee. "Fifty . . . points." Baku snapped his finger.

"Wha . . ." Ryu said, then the portable scoreboard that was with him instantly gave Baku's team fifty points. "You . . . what the hell is going on!?"

"I won." Baku chuckled maniacally. Then Baku pointed at Ryn. "You . . . belong to me now!" Baku snapped his fingers again.

"Eh?" Ryn said, then she felt a jolt on her back. Her pupils became dilated, and a dark mark appeared on her back, a 'B' representing, 'Bakujyu no Kage'. All of a sudden, Ryn was forcibly dragged to where Baku was.

"Ojii-chan, what is going on?" Ryuuji asked.

"That boy, he put a mark on Ryn." Ojii-chan said. "A Mark of Contract. Now since he fulfilled the contract, she belongs to him . . ."

Ryn flew into Baku's arm. "Finally, I have you, my sweet Wings, in my hands." Baku said.

"RYN!" Rai and Lee shouted.

"RYN-SAN!" Karen shouted.

"This doesn't look good!" Miku shouted.

"What are you doing?" Ryn struggled in Baku's grip, then Baku kissed Ryn on the cheek.

"You belong to me now." Baku said softly.

"RYN NO!" Rai shouted, then Ryu jumped over Rai's head and over the net.

"WOI YAH!" Ryu shouted and threw a fist into Baku's head. Baku was launched away after he released Ryn.

Ryu palmed Ryn's back and the mark was erased.

"What the!?" Baku shouted. "KODENRED!"

"Don't you . . . ever . . . lay a finger . . . ON RYN!" Ryu screamed and it was noticeable, his eyes were as Black as darkness.

"What are you . . ." Then Baku noticed Ryu's eyes, and realized that Ryu was becoming much like Kai. Baku could see an image of Kai behind Ryu. Ryu . . . was falling down into darkness . . . yet again.

"GIVE ME YOUR DESPAIR!" Ryu shouted, shocking every one.

"RYU!" Lee shouted. "He . . . I'm not the only one who heard that right!?"

"No, you're not." Karen said. "RYU-SAN WHAT ARE YOU SAYING!?"

"Shut up woman." Ryu growled at Karen. "Any dirty human who lays a finger on Ryn," Ryu clenched his fist, "will die." Ryu walked past the Anubis Kagejyu, since the Anubis Kagejyu felt only evil from Ryu.

- -

Kai was biting into his cake, when he felt yet another disturbance. "Ryunosuke Rekka . . . your darkness never faded did it?" Kai bit his cake again. "You are truly . . . evil. You never returned to being good did you?"

- -

Ryuuji was utterly shocked. A few days ago, Ryuuji had beaten Ryu up because Ryu was acting insane and evil. Was it true that the darkness within him never left? Has Ryu been pretending to be good this whole time? "No." Ryuuji said. "No, it can't be. Ryu's not like that. This is not darkness we are talking about . . . he is angry."

Ryu elbowed Baku, then back punched Baku's head. "I'll never forgive any one who touches Ryn so indecently!" Ryu shouted. Ryu kneed Baku.

Rai sweat dropped, "and you made all those perverted jokes earlier." Rai muttered.

"Ryu's not himself." Lee said. "This isn't Ryu!" He bellowed. "RYU!"

Baku tried to punch Ryu, but Ryu moved his head away, then Ryu pushed Baku's fist by moving his (Ryu) head back into place. Ryu elbowed Baku. Then Ryu jumped into the air. Ten wings seemed to form on his back, but only for a short moment as those wings then disappeared. Scattered as the feathers dropped off.

Raiju was watching the battle from afar, and he noticed Ryu losing the wings. Raiju chuckled maniacally. "Baku, you have done well." Raiju said. "You're gotten rid of Ryu's soul within him. Once this battle is over, Ryunosuke Rekka will no longer be himself anymore." Raiju laughed out loud. "No, he won't be himself anymore! The darkness never left him, it only rested within him, waiting for the right moment to take control of Ryunosuke. The reason he cannot achieve his Winged state anymore is because of the darkness that still resides in him! One day, you will be mine! You will be reborn as your sinful Ancestor, Rekka!"

Ryu kept beating Baku up. Baku fired blue lightning at Ryu, but Ryu dodge. "Think that will hit, so wrong!" Ryu dashed and tornado kicked Baku. "You don't even deserve to be called my enemy!"

Baku was struggling. "Damn you!" Baku shouted. "Anubis, destroy the others!"

"As you wish, master." Anubis bowed, then gunshots fired from the air.

Kousuke appeared, riding on a Helicopter. Kousuke was wearing his usual outfit that he wears. Kousuke jumped out from the helicopter and kept firing his Pistols at the Anubis Kagejyu. "Looks like I made it." Kousuke said, then he noticed how ferocious Ryu was with Baku. "What the?" Anubis Kagejyu tried to get up, but Kousuke kept shooting Anubis Kagejyu down.

Ryu kept growling like a Savage Beast and kept fighting Baku. Baku tried to zap Ryu's heart, but Ryu grabbed Baku's arm and then slammed Baku's arm with a knee. Baku wailed in pain, but in reality, he was satisfied, as this was what he was aiming for, Ryu's descent into Darkness.

"RYU!" Ryn shouted. "STOP IT!" Ryn cried. "RYU!"

Then Lee ran past Ryn. Ryu punched Baku away. "I'll make sure I eliminate you from existence." Ryu said. Dark flames formed on his fist. "I'll enjoy your last screams before you finally die."

Then Lee ran in front of Ryu and shoved Ryu away.

"What are you . . ." Ryu growled, then Rai ran up and Ryu's arms from under the armpits. "HEY!"

"Ryu, I bet you're really pissed off now." Lee said, chuckling. "I can see you really have feelings for Ryn."

"What are you saying!?" Ryu shouted as he struggled in Rai's hold.

"You don't have to deny it, it's written all over your face." Lee said. "Yeah, you talk about bringing despair just like last time, but this time it's different, you're just giving way to anger."

"What are you talking about, Kodenred is evil, EVIL!" Baku shouted.

"So this was what you were planning, to make Ryu evil huh?" Lee said and got into a boxing pose. "Ryu, I'm Baku's rival, you can let me handle this."

"WHAT!?" Ryu shouted. "I can't let you handle this! I have to defeat him! I need his despair, despair!" He kept flailing in Rai's arms.

"Hey, don't worry." Lee said. He gave Ryu a thumbs up. "I wouldn't be your friend if I wasn't strong enough to keep up with you." Ryu gasped and he started to calm down a little. The real colors of his eyes started to reappear.

"WHAT!" Baku shouted.

Then Lee punched Baku hard with a left hook. Baku was launched into the water, then Lee jumped into the water. "Now this is my stage." Lee said. His Tenma Bell Knuckles appeared on his hands.

"Lee . . . so you really intend to fight me huh?" Baku said chuckling. "WELL BRING IT!"

Lee and Baku clashed fists. Baku threw a fist at Lee. Lee parried and tried to elbow Baku. Baku ducked and tried to trip Lee. Lee jumped up and crescent kicked Baku. This kick created a big wave of water to strike Baku. Baku tried to zap Lee with blue lighting but Lee dodged. This was a battle of the using the elements.

"Why do you still fight?" Baku asked. "You've just seen it, your leader is evil. He has only Darkness in his heart!"

"He is not evil!" Lee shouted and hit Baku's fist away. "Ryu may have this darkness, but he is not evil! There is one thing in his heart that he continues to fight for, and that is his friends!" Lee threw a fist into Baku. "Ryu only cares about his friends. Just before, even though he gave in to the darkness, the only thing he cared about was his friends!" Lee slammed Baku away. "It doesn't matter how much darkness there is, the light will always illuminate all darkness!" Lee used an illusionary left on Baku, then a rising uppercut, sending Baku into the air. "That is what Ryu has, even if he has this Darkness, he still has the radiant light of Fire, the light that will shine through all darkness!" With Lee's words, Ryu's determined eyes became Red. An image of Ryu's determined eyes seemed to loom over Lee, "That is why, I will gladly stay by him till the day I die! I am proud to be his friend because he has the light of the flames that will radiate through darkness!" Lee jumped into the air and started flying. The water swirled around Lee and eight blue wing projections formed on Lee's back. Lee's eyes turned an unnatural blue.

Ryu's eyes reverted back to his normal colors, then he saw Lee's wings. Rai released Ryu because Ryu was calm, then "EH!?" Ryu pointed at Lee. "Lee has wings! Is he human!?"

This surprised everyone. "Ryu . . . you have wings too." Ryn said.

"Huh?"

"Ryu-san, you have ten fiery wings." Karen said holding out her ten fingers.

"What?" Ryu said.

"Haven't you ever noticed that you formed ten wings before?" Miku asked.

"Nope." Ryu said. Then his ten wings reformed itself as the 'feathers' flew back into place. The wings then disappeared.

"SEE!" Everyone shouted trying to point at Ryu's wings before they faded.

"Your wings just formed a few seconds ago!" Rai shouted.

Ryu turned to look around him. "I don't see any wings." Ryu said. "Anyway, why is Lee fighting? Have Baku and that Kagejyu attacked or something?"

YOU SERIOUSLY FORGOT!? Everyone thought. Kousuke fired a gunshot at the fallen Kagejyu.

"Ryu's an idiot isn't he?" Reika asked Ryuuji. Ryuuji nodded.

"He is isn't he." Ryuuji said.

Reika was silent. "Why am I asking you, you're an idiot as well." She turned away. A mental arrow pierced Ryuuji's heart.

The water swirled around Lee as he flew up. Baku noticed Lee's wings. "Not ten, but eight is still much!" Baku shouted. Lee then flew up and punched Baku.

"Try this!" Lee then started flying around and hit Baku from multiple directions. "DANCE OF THE SWALLOW!" Lee announced and the water kept splashing around. "EIGHT TENMA WING STRIKE!" Lee appeared in front of Baku and Lee held out his hands. He then pulled back and gave a really strong right punch, launching Baku out the water swirl. Baku landed on the sand and Lee landed gently.

"You . . . I never knew you were this strong!" Baku shouted.

"Well now you know!" Lee said, smiling a smile that said that victory was near. Then the Blue Koden Gem flew out, and two little blue wings appeared on the Gem.

Ryu was shocked to see wings on the Koden Gem. "The Koden Gem has wings!" Ryu shouted and pointed at the Gem frantically.

"Ryu, your Gem also attained two wings." Miku said.

Ryu took out his Red Koden Gem. "No wings." Ryu said showing his gem to everyone. Everyone fell, except for Kousuke who fired a shot at the fallen Anubis Kagejyu.

You can be so dense. Miku thought. But that's why makes you cute.

Lee grabbed his Winged Koden Gem from the air. "I'll defeat you now." Lee said. Lee inserted his Winged Koden Gem into his Kodenbrace. "Release! Wings of Legend! Winged Koden Henshin!" Lee spun his winged gem. Lee held his fist up high as the Blue Koden Gem and its wings started spinning around. The water from the sea flew out and swirled around Lee. Lee was hidden behind the waters, and Lee transformed into a Blue Pegasus version of Blazing Kodenred. "The Unshakable Body is a Shattering Wave, AQUA KODENBLUE!" The eight watery wing projections opened out.

"EH!?" Ryu pointed frantically at Lee. "Lee got a power up before I did!"

Then Ryn, Karen, and Miku took out their cellphones and showed a picture of Blazing Kodenred to Ryu that they captured with their phones. "See, you obtained this power up a long time ago." The girls said.

Ryu looked at the picture. "How do you photo-shop using the phone?" Ryu asked curiously. Everyone but Kousuke, who shot the fallen Anubis Kagejyu, fell.

You're so dense! The girls, Ryn, Karen, Miku, and Karen thought of Ryu.

Baku laughed maniacally. "So it is true, it is possible to enter a winged state!" Then he pointed at Lee, "But how can a boy who didn't even have any powers till this year master such a state!?"

"Don't know." Lee said. "It just came naturally." Lee then flew at Baku.

"ANUBIS!" Baku shouted. "Stand up!" Then Lee slugged Baku on the face. The bell of the Tenma Bell Knuckle rang. Baku rolled along the sand.

"Hey, this is awesome!" Lee exclaimed. "Hey Ryu, transform into Blazing Kodenred and we'll both beat Baku and the Kagejyu together!"

"What's Blazing Kodenred? You want me to be Fire Kodenred again?" Ryu said.

"HUH!?" Lee drooped down.

"But I don't think Daddy would let me borrow his Fire Gem again." Ryu said.

"WHOSE YOUR DADDY!?" Ryuuji screamed.

"What, I'm talking about powering up again." Lee said.

"But I haven't obtained a power up except for transforming into Fire Kodenred yet." Ryu said holding his hands behind his head. "I envy you Lee, you obtained the Power Up first and you're not the Leader or the Second in Command." Lee fell.

"WHAT THE!? You're the first one who used this power up! You used it twice too!" Lee screamed, then the Aqua Kodenblue suit shattered from Lee's body. Lee was back to his normal self, not in his Winged state anymore. His eyes were back to normal and the wings were gone. "Whoops . . ."

"I guess you still don't have enough power to control that power yet." Baku said getting up. "You're not strong enough yet."

"Oh well, no use crying over spilled milk." Lee said, chuckling nervously. "I'm jealous, Ryu was able to stay Powered Up for one whole battle lasting into the mecha battle when we first used KodenElementalOh but I can't even last two minutes."

"What is everyone talking about, Lee's the first one to use the Power Up." Ryu said.

"Ryu . . . you're dense." Rai said sweat dropping.

"ANUBIS!" Baku shouted. Anubis got up and ran up to Baku. "Fight them."

Everyone of the Kodenrangers grouped together with Ryu in the center. "Fine then, minna, HENSHIN DA!" Ryu ordered.

"RELEASE!" They all inserted their gems into their changers.

"LEGEND OF THE BEAST!" They all initiated the steps.

"KODEN HENSHIN!" Ryu and Ryn punched the air, Rai, Lee, and Karen held their fists up high, and Miku and Kousuke thrust their Kodenphones out. They all transformed in their elements.

"The flames of courage flow within the heart, Blazing Soul, KODENRED!"

"The body is charged with the gentle spark of light, Gentle Technique, KODENGREEN!"

"The senses are strengthened by the constant training of the body, Unshakable Body, KODENBLUE!"

"The techniques bloom alongside the senses of nature, Amazing Sense, KODENYELLOW!"

"The caring heart shines throughout the soul, Passionate Heart, KODENPINK!"

"The ability to shine radiates throughout the soul, Shining Will, KODENSILVER!"

"The will burns brightly within, Burning Ability, KODENGOLD!"

"The elemental powers of the Kodenjyu is the emblem of justice!" Ryu announced. "Elemental Sentai . . ."

"KODENRANGER!"

Anubis drew his axe. "How shall I finish this master?" Anubis asked.

"Just do whatever you want." Baku said, but the seven Kodenrangers were in the air, "Huh?"

"SUPER KODENJYU OUGI!" The seven Kodenrangers announced.

"NO WAY! They're using the finisher already!?" Baku exclaimed.

"BURNING FIRE DROP!" Kousuke was launched by a projection of Kodeneagle which allowed Kousuke to use a Burning Drop kick on Baku and the Anubis Kagejyu.

"SHINING FEATHER JUDGEMENT!" Miku was propelled by Kodenhawk which allowed her to do a Shining Corkscrew kick on Baku and the Anubis Kagejyu.

"HOUOU TORNADO STRIKE!" Ryn was blown by Kodenhouou which allowed her to use a Windy Tornado kick on Baku and the Anubis Kagejyu.

"KIRIN FLIP FLASH!" Karen was kicked down by Kodenkirin allowing her to use a Hardened Flash Kick on Baku and the Anubis Kagejyu.

"TENMA REVOLVER!" Kodentenma blew a large wave, allowing Lee to use three consecutive Watery Revolving kicks on Baku and the Anubis Kagejyu.

"SHISHI FINAL AXE!" Rai fell from high in the sky, then Kodenshishi electrocuted Rai with a thunder breath allowing Rai to use a Lightning Axe kick on Baku and the Anubis Kagejyu.

Rai then grabbed Ryu, threw Ryu to Kousuke, who threw Ryu to Miku, who threw Ryu to Ryn, who threw Ryu to Karen, who then threw Ryu to Lee.

Ryu grabbed Lee's hand. "Let's go, together!" Ryu shouted. Ryu flipped in the air.

"YOSH!" Lee flipped in the air as well.

"ULTIMATE ELEMENTAL KODEN BLAZING BREAK!" Ryu announced. Ryuoh fired a fire breath which blasted Ryu and Lee towards Baku and the Anubis Kagejyu. They both used a flying side kick (DOUBLE RIDER KICK!). Ryu kicked the Anubis Kagejyu and Lee kicked Baku.

Baku and the Anubis Kagejyu went flying and Anubis exploded, leaving only a charred Baku.

"AHH! You killed my Kagejyu!" Baku panicked. Then he reached into his robe and pulled out a pink bomb with a skull with crossbones on it. "REVIVE MY KAGEJYU!" Baku threw the bomb, and the bomb exploded.

Rai landed next to Reika and covered his sister. Ryuuji covered his face with his sleeves as the smoke from the bomb spread through. Ojii-chan on the other hand, "AHH MY SUSHI'S GETTING DIRTY!" Typical Ojii-chan.

Then the Anubis Kagejyu reformed in the forest. "I am alive!" Anubis Kagejyu shouted, then he stumbled in the trees.

"ACK!" Baku grunted. "Stupid growing bomb, you never grow them in the right spot!" The good guys all sweat dropped.

"Should we fight?" Ryu asked. The others nodded. "Oh well, KODEN SHORAI!"

"RYU RAI JYU!"

"SHISHI RAI JYU!"

"TENMA RAI JYU!"

"KIRIN RAI JYU!"

"HOUOU RAI JYU!"

"HAWK RAI JYU!"

"EAGLE RAI JYU!"

"TIGER RAI JYU!" Ryu, Rai, and Kousuke shouted.

The eight Kodenjyus emerged and ran to the forest.

"Elemental Gattai!" Everyone shouted. KodenElementalOh and Bursttohja were formed.

"Burst Mode!" Miku and Kousuke announced. Radianttohja was formed.

"KodenElementalOh, Blazing Up!" Ryu, Ryn, Rai, Karen, and Lee announced.

"Radianttohja, Shining Up!" Miku and Kousuke announced.

Baku quivered when he saw the Super Robos, then he looked around. "GIANT KAGESHIS!" Baku shouted.

Giant Kageshis appeared from the large shadows in the forest.

"FIGHT!" Baku shouted and he ran away. He dove into the ocean and disappeared.

"Hey it's giant Kageshis again!" Lee shouted.

"I thought they only came from that abyss!" Rai exclaimed.

"KODEN GROW!" Shinji's voice announced and Kodenmusha Giant mode appeared. "Kodenmusha, KENZAN!" Shinji started fighting the Kageshis. "I'll handle this, fight the Kagejyu!"

"Yosh." Ryu said. "IKUZO!"

The Anubis Kagejyu drew its axe and started chopping at the two Super Robos. Radianttohja flew away while KodenElementalOh parried with the Shishi Saber's hilt. Then KodenElementalOh slashed Anubis Kagejyu with the Houou Sword. Radianttohja blew a large gust of wind from the Hawk Fan attachment, blowing the Kagejyu back.

Shinji was able to cut down some Kageshis, but then some Kageshis kept kicking him around on and on and on. Shinji couldn't stand it anymore. "THAT'S IT!" Shinji shouted. "I'm really angry right now! BURST MODE!" Shinji achieved his Burst Mode. "Burst Kodenmusha, KENZAN!" Then Shinji rapidly slashed the Kageshis into oblivion. "WARGH!" Then he looked around. "Done already!? ARGH! NOW I'M REALLY ANGRY! SUPER MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE BURST MODE!"

"Shinji, you know there's no such thing." Ojii-chan said sweat dropping.

Shinji shrunk and reappeared next to Ojii-chan. "I know, but my temper also grows when I grow giant." Shinji said with a smile.

"Weird." Ojii-chan muttered.

"Kage Ougi, Death Strike!" Anubis Kagejyu slammed the ground and dark flames shot out. KodenElementalOh and Radianttohja flew away.

"If that's the way you want to play it, then let's end it right now!" Ryu shouted. " Legendary Elemental Hi Ougi!" He announced for everyone. "Radiant Elemental Hi Ougi!"

"Fire Shining Burst!" Kousuke and Miku announced.

"Legendary Elemental Tenzouzan!" Ryu, Ryn, Rai, Karen, and Lee announced. Ryu pushed the control orb and mini versions of the Shishi Saber and Houou Sword flew out. Ryu combined them to form the Koden Elemental Ken.

A blaze surrounded Radianttohja and formed into a large bird shape. Radianttohja crashed into Anubis Kagejyu, then KodenElementalOh came flying down and used a Water Slash and a Thunder Slash from the Shishi Saber side of the Koden Elemental Ken and an Earth Slash and a Wind Slash from the Houou Sword side. Then the blades of the Koden Elemental Ken blazed out. "HAH!" The five main Kodenrangers shouted and KodenElementalOh slashed the Anubis Kagejyu twice with both blades of the Koden Elemental Ken with blazing slashes. KodenElementalOh turned around and Radianttohja landed next to KodenElementalOh.

"NO! I have failed you master." Anubis Kagejyu exploded.

"KodenElementalOh and Radianttohja, Legendary Win!" The Kodenrangers announced.

"What, no Kodenmusha." Shinji said.

"Well you shrunk before the actual battle ended." Reika said.

"Wah." Shinji whined.

- -

In the evening, Ryu was told the truth about Ryn and Rai's relationship. "So you two aren't really dating?" Ryu asked.

"Well that's what we've been trying to tell you." Ryn said.

"Oh . . . that's cool." Ryu said and then he walked to the balcony.

Rai and Ryn sighed. "Maybe we should talk to him." Rai said.

"No, I think I should talk to him alone." Ryn said. She followed Ryu to the balcony.

Rai went to the living room. "Come on Reika-chan, how about I show you how strong a man really is!" Lee showed his muscles to Reika.

Rai ran and shoved Lee, then hugged Reika. "MINE!" Rai shouted. "Don't you dare ever hit on my sister! Even if you are my best friend."

Karen, Miku, and Lee gasped. Kousuke stood there and grunted, then he went back to polishing his gun. Ryuuji came in, eating a candy bar, then dropped his candy bar. Ojii-chan came in reading a Porno Magazine, only to drop it when he saw Rai and Reika. Shinji walked in polishing his Guan Dao, then looked at Rai and Reika, then scoffed and walked off.

"Why is everyone acting so strangely?" Rai asked.

"Onii-chan . . . your hand." Reika said blushing.

Rai looked down and his hands were on his little sister's breasts. "WAH!" Rai jumped back. "I didn't mean it, it was an accident!"

"Man, the forbidden love is better than any Porno I've ever read, especially since I witnessed it myself." Ojii-chan said.

"Hey did you forget about Ryn and move on to your sister or something?" Ryuuji asked.

"SHE'S MY SISTER!" Rai shouted and zapped Ryuuji with a thunder punch. Ryuuji went flying out the window.

"People sure have been flying a lot today." Lee said nodding his head.

"You're one to talk." Miku muttered since Lee actually formed wings today.

Ryu sat on the balcony and Ryn sat next to Ryu. "You ok?" Ryn asked.

"Yeah."

"How you feeling?"

"Well . . . to the tell the truth, a little relieved." Ryu replied.

"Relieved?"

"When I thought you and Shishi-san were dating, I wanted to feel happy for you two, but at the same time, I felt uneasy around you two." Ryu said. "I don't know why, maybe because I was kind of . . . jealous." Ryu was silent. "Maybe because it was the thought of losing you."

"Well you did get really angry about Baku kissing me on the cheek." Ryn said. Ryu then groaned.

"I can't even remembered what happened after." Ryu said as he rubbed his head. "I mean one moment I saw Baku kiss your cheek, then the next I was yelling to myself 'I would never allow such a man to touch my best friend.' Then everything went blank and the next thing I know, Lee has wings."

Ryn then hugged Ryu. "I'm just glad my best friend has at least some feelings for me." Ryn said, beaming a smile.

"Huh?" Ryu looked at Ryn with confusion. Then Ryn kissed Ryu on the cheek. "Ryn . . ."

"Come on Ryu, you should know I love you." Ryn whispered.

"You say something?" Ryu asked.

"Nothing." Ryn giggled. You are so dense . . . but that's part of your charm.

Ryu looked around to see if there was no one around. "Hey Ryn . . . I know only lovers do it, but do you want to kiss you know . . . actually kiss?"

Ryn was silent for a while, then she realized what Ryu said. "EH!?" Ryn shouted. Ryu asked me to actually kiss him? On the lips!?

"Well it's not like anything." Ryu said. "I mean I know that you might like someone else and all, but I guess . . . now that I think about it asking you for a kiss is kind of selfish of me."

"I'll do it." Ryn said calmly.

"Eh?"

"I'll kiss you if you want." Ryn said. "But be warned, if my first kiss is totally messed up because you're a bad kisser, then I'll beat you." Ryn said jokingly.

Ryu blushed and smiled. "Sure."

When did Ryu become so straightforward? Ryn asked herself. Boy I hope this isn't Ryuuji dressed as Ryu. That will ruin everything. Ryn and Ryu leaned in for their kiss. Ryu wrapped an arm around Ryn . . . no, it can't be Ryuuji, Ryuuji does not have this kind aura around him. Ryn and Ryu got close, their lips nearly touching, then Ryuuji fell from the sky and landed his arms around the balcony's rails. Ryuuji stared in shock as he saw Ryu and Ryn about to kiss.

"HUH!?" Ryuuji shouted, surprising Ryu and Ryn. The two stopped and looked at Ryuuji. "Ryu . . ." Ryuuji looked away. "HOLY SHIT! When did you become such a man!?" Ryuuji exclaimed. "Hey everyone, Ryu is going to kiss Ryn!"

"DAD!" Ryu shouted embarrassingly. "You're embarrassing me!"

Ryn looked at Ryuuji, then at Ryu. She giggled. I wonder if they are really father and son, at that moment Ryu kind of sounded like me when I scold papa.

Then Miku and Karen rushed in. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MY RYU-KUN!" Miku screamed at Ryn.

"Your Ryu-kun, Ryu's my best friend!" Ryn shouted and then she got herself into a cat fight with Miku.

"Guys, stop it." Karen said, but she too was pulled into that fight.

"Dude . . . I didn't know you could be so romantic." Ryuuji said.

"Well I need help." Ryu said. "Can you tell me about the birds and bees?" Ryu asked his would be father. Ryu kept tapping his index fingers together.

Ryuuji sweat dropped. "You never had that talk before?"

"Actually Ojii-chan told me already but I want to hear from daddy."

"WHOSE YOUR DADDY!?"

Jiro was flying near the balcony. "My . . . Ryu sure knows what he wants. Too bad he's surrounded by such a cute harem." Jiro said. "If not, then he and Ryn may've already been a couple."

"And that kiss was so close." Said the voice of Jiro's sister.

"Right you are Seki! Right you are." Jiro exclaimed, saying his sister's name too.

Koden Cosplay: Katekyo Hitman Reborn!

Ryu is Tsunayoshi Sawada, Rai is Hayato Gokudera, Lee is Takeshi Yamamoto, Karen is Chrome Dokuro, Ryn is Kyoko Sasagawa, Miku is Haru Miura, and Kousuke is Kyoya Hibari. "Why am I cosplaying as someone who uses tonfas?" Kousuke asked.

"But those wing things on your wrists as Kodenrangers are tonfas right?" Ryu asked.

"Well . . . you got a point, they are the Wing Tonfa." Kousuke said. Kousuke sighed. "I wish I was Xanxus."

"But Hibari suits you." Ryu said. "Anyway, Winged Koden Henshin, and Lee is the first one to achieve it!"

"Ryu is." Everyone said.

"Now let's see clips of the first ever Winged Koden Henshin!" Ryu said. "Roll the clip!" Then a clip of Ryu transforming into Blazing Kodenred was shown. "Wow, nice CGI, now roll the real clip!" The same clip was rolled again. "I'm serious, roll the real clip!"

"THAT IS THE REAL CLIP!" Everyone shouted.

"Huh what?"

"You were the first one to use a Winged Koden Henshin." Ryn said.

"You became Blazing Kodenred." Karen said.

"You were the one who used the power up first." Miku said.

"Then how come I can't use it again?" Ryu asked.

"Because your heart is stuck in darkness." Kai said coming in.

"HEY NO ONE ALLOWED IN HERE UNLESS THEY COSPLAY!" Ryu shouted. "Scratch that, why are you here!?"

"Never mind then." Kai said. He then cosplayed himself as Xanxus. "There happy?"

"Ah man, I wanted to be Xanxus." Kousuke whined.

"Want to trade?" Kai asked. Kousuke and Kai switched outfits.

"How come a villain is in here?" Ryu asked.

"Sorry." Reika said coming in dressed as Bianchi. "He seemed so desperate."

"I don't blame you." Rai said patting his little sister's head. Their costumes were ironic as Reika was cosplaying the older half sister of who Rai was cosplaying as.

Then Ryuuji barged in with blonde hair. "How come everyone is leaving me alone!?" Ryuuji growled and flames surrounded him.

"OH MY GOD!" Everyone, even Kai, shouted.

"It's Vongola Primo!" Ryu pointed at Ryuuji.

"Is that who I'm cosplaying?" Ryuuji asked.

"Well since we're done with the Q and A, see you all next time!" Lee said waving good bye.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE'RE DONE!?" Ryu shouted. "They still haven't shown the clip of the first ever Winged Koden Henshin!"

"YOU'RE THE FIRST WINGED KODEN HENSHIN YOU DUMMY!" The girls shouted at Ryu. Ryu then sobbed because he was called a dummy. "ACK!" The girls then comforted Ryu.

"Lucky." Rai and Lee said. Kousuke and Kai nodded.

"Hello, am I even important anymore?" Ryuuji asked.

Island life.

Ryu was enjoying himself in the open air bath, when Ryn came in. "Ryu . . . do you want to take a bath together."

Ryu blushed. "Ok!" Ryu exclaimed.

Ryn and Ryu were bathing together next to each other. They both turned from each other. This feels so good! They thought squealed.

Then Karen came in. "Whoops . . . Ryn-san and Ryu-san are bathing together. I'll . . . leave you two alone."

"Hey you don't have to go, you can bathe with us too." Ryu said happily, but then Ryn flinched. She sighed. She really wanted to bathe with Ryu alone. Karen joined in and leaned in closed to Ryu.

Then Miku came in. "Ryu-kun! Yahoo!" She came in and saw Ryu bathing with Ryn and Karen. "YOU TWO! What are you doing bathing with Ryu-kun!"

"You can join in if you want." Ryu said. Miku smiled and did so. She then opened up her eyes to glare at Ryn and Karen. Ryn glared back while Karen shirked away. Miku then leaned in close to Ryu's front, though Ryn tried to keep Miku away.

Ryuuji came in. "Come on Ryu, since you're treating me like your dad, why not take a bath with daddy?" Ryuuji asked, then noticed Ryu with his (Ryu) 'harem.' Ryuuji turned around and walked away. "Have fun Ryu." Ryuuji bit his thumb. KU THAT BASTARD! He's so lucky! And lately he's been taken the initiative . . . HAS HE BEEN REPLACED BY AN ALIEN!?

- -

At night as Ryu slept, Ryn slept walked in. She slept next to Ryu and Ryu wrapped an arm around Ryn. Miku then slept walked in and slept next to Ryu. Ryu wrapped an arm around Miku. Karen then slept walked in and she crawled on top of Ryu. Ryn and Miku slept moved and tried to keep Karen off.

Then Ryuuji came in holding a Shinai. "What's with all the footsteps?" Ryuuji yawned. "OH MY GOD RYU!"

"HUH WHAT!?" Ryu and the girls woke up.

Ryuuji stood there in awe. "You . . . you're already ready to commit polygamy?"

"EH!?" The girls shouted.

Ryu looked around, then saw the Shinai in Ryuuji's hands. "WAH DADDY! It's not what it looks like!" Ryu ran away. "PLEASE DON'T HIT ME!" Ryu covered his head.

Ryuuji watched as Ryu ran. "Why is he acting like a child?" Then Ryuuji faced the girls. "You three should be ashamed of yourselves, taking advantage of young Ryu." The girls drooped their heads. "If anything, you should be spending time with me, a real man!" The girls all kicked Ryuuji, nearly kicking his balls. "Please not the nuts." Ryuuji groaned.

Koden Life (Happens after chapter 24 Koden Life but before Summer Arc)

Ryu knocked on the door of the Shishi household. Rai and Reika' grandfather opened the door. "Can I stay here for a few days?" Ryu asked.

"Why?" The old man asked.

"Well there's been some trouble going on, I've been traumatized because my face has been used for some H-games and H-books so I'm thinking of staying away till it mellows out."

The old man nodded. "Ok gotcha. But where are you going to stay?"

"I can sleep in my sleeping bag." Ryu said.

"You can use the living room, there's a lot of space." The old man said.

"Thank you!" Ryu said. He walked up to the living room and set his red sleeping bag. Ryu then went in and slept, and upstairs, Reika walked out of her room into her brother's room.

Reika watched as her brother was asleep. Rai's blanket was all spread out and he was snoring softly. Reika smiled, "Onii-chan is so cute when he sleeps." Reika said. Reika got into bed with Rai and she covered herself and Rai with the blanket. "I hope you don't mind us sleeping together tonight." Reika said. She got close to her brother. He's so warm. Reika thought. Just like how Mama and Papa used to feel . . .

Then Rai grabbed Reika. "Onii-chan?" Reika said.

Rai mumbled, then his hands reached for indecent places.

Onii-chan is touching my . . . Rai was touching Reika's butt and nearly pulled off her panties. ONII-CHAN! This isn't right! Reika pulled Rai's hand out and then Rai pulled his hand back. Rai rolled in bed and mumbled in his sleep.

Reika turned her head around and blushed. I wonder what Onii-chan was dreaming about. Reika then touched where Rai touched. Onii-chan . . . his touch was so gentle . . . Reika closed her eyes. Sometimes I wished he and I weren't siblings.

Reika fell asleep for a while, but then she opened her eyes to see the darkness at late night. I'm . . . scared. Reika said. She was thinking of going back to her room before Rai woke up, but she was scared of the dark when it became really dark outside. She got back in bed. Ever since Mama and Papa died, I've been scared of the dark. Reika thought. She closed her eyes, and she started quivering. "Why is it that I can't stop shaking? I don't want to be afraid . . . I really don't.

Then Rai rolled around and hugged Reika. Onii-chan?

"Reika . . ." Rai mumbled.

He's dreaming about me.

"I'll protect you . . . don't worry." Rai mumbled. "I'll never let you get hurt."

Onii-chan . . . he really cares about me. Reika closed her eyes and held her brother's arms. Now that I think about it, being scared of the late dark wouldn't be so bad, I mean, Onii-chan is here for me, and that's what I love. Reika opened her eyes and looked at Rai. Reika gave Rai a kiss on the cheek. I love you Onii-chan. Reika went back to sleep.

When morning came, Rai woke up to a start. "Good morning." Rai said as he yawn. Then he noticed Reika in his arm. "REIKA!"

Reika got up and rubbed her eyes. "Morning Onii-chan." One of the straps on her top fell down.

"Reika, how many times do I have to tell you to not sneak in here at night." Rai said. "Geez." Rai rubbed his face.

"Sorry Onii-chan." Reika said. "I just wanted to be with you."

"If you want to sleep with me just tell me." Rai said. "I mean it's not like I won't say 'no'. We are brother and sister."

"I know Onii-chan . . . I know." Reika said.

"But . . . I guess it was nice to sleep with you without knowing you were there." Rai said. Reika smiled. "But I wonder what felt so soft."

"Eh?"

"I could swear I touched something soft." Rai was referring to Reika's tushy. Reika held her butt,

"It was nothing!" Reika said.

"Wait it wasn't that was it?" Rai asked. Reika shook her head.

"Breakfast's ready!" Ryu announced and opened the door of Rai's room. Ryu's appearance surprised Rai and Reika and Ryu seeing both Rai and Reika in the same room astonished him. Ryu saw Reika's fallen strap and Ryu started thinking of dirty thoughts. "Shishi-san, Shishi-chan . . . you two aren't doing anything . . . right?"

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY HOUSE!?" Rai shouted, scaring some birds away.

At this moment, Ryuuji was getting ready to raid a company. He was riding on Hikoden. "Going to find out who stole my words, oh yeah." Ryuuji sang. "Then I'm going to get my money for what I invented, oh yeah." Ryuuji hummed. He was referring to the fact that it was he that said that Ryu's life was like a dating Sim. How Ryuuji raided and conquered the company that made Ryuuji's words into a game and books . . . is another story for another time.

This ends chapter 25 of the summer arc. Please review.
