Chapter 4 - The Tatsu Dojo
After a few hours, the ship that Gon and Kaori are on finally reached land. You have now reached a small village ... what can you expect there?
"Where should we start ...?" Gon asked himself.
"Why don't we ask around a bit? Maybe you can already train your nerves here, so why go on unnecessary paths for a long time? If we could make it easier for ourselves…. "Kaori looked around the area.
"You're right ... but ..." before Gon could say anything else, he is interrupted by a voice.
"Hey! You two! "A voice called.
The two looked around and saw a young man walking up to them. The man was slim and of average height. With brown hair and black eyes, he wore a simple white and black tracksuit.
"What's up, mister?" Gon asked politely.
"I apologize, I overheard your little conversation, but I would like to lead you to someone who could help you."
"Do you mean that Nen thing?" The little boy perked up.
"Exactly. There is a small dojo here in our village ... and you can go there. If it helps you ... I trained there too. "He proudly noticed the last part.
"A dojo, here?" Gon looked at Kaori. "That sounds exciting! Let's take a look at that! "
"Okay." Kaori agreed, then turned to the man. "May ... I ask ... what is the name of this dojo and I would also like to know your name." She asked softly but audibly.
The man smiled. "My name is Shiro. Nice to meet you. "He bows slightly. "And you?"
Gon answered immediately. "I'm Gon! And that's Kaori! "He grinned while the girl also bowed.
Shiro smiled. "Then follow me. We are now going to the 'Dojo Tatsu'! "He went ahead.
'Dojo Tatsu?' The blue-haired girl thought about it. 'Sounds somehow ... familiar ... but ... I can't assign it ... she sighed softly. 'no matter…'
After a while, Gon, Kaori and Shiro stood in front of a normal, medium-sized building. A big sign in front of the building was noticeable: 'Dojo Tatsu'.
Gon's eyes sparkled with joy. "Looks cool!"
'It's just a normal building that is supposed to be a dojo….' Kaori frowned, but immediately noticed people going into the building or coming out. "Seems to be quite popular ... in this area, doesn't it?"
Shiro nodded. "Think of it this way ... it's the only dojo in this area. But my sensei told me that it took a long way for him to erect and build this building! "He posed a dramatic heroic pose while telling the story.
"Your Sensei?" Gon became even more curious. "Will he train us ?"
"Well ... if he likes you that much ... then maybe!" He crossed his arms. "After all, Master doesn't have time for everyone ..." With that he started laughing, making Gon and Kaori look confused.
'Why do I now notice that this man is ... funny? The girl considered.
"Who should I train?" Suddenly came a voice.
…..
?
Gon and Kaori turned around reflexively and saw another man who wasn't there for them just yet.
He was only a little older than Shiro ... but still very young. He had short brown hair and also had brown eyes. He wore a Hawaiian shirt, white pants, and black boots. He wore sunglasses around his neck.
"Sensei?" Shiro was extremely surprised. "I thought you were in the dojo?"
The 'Sensei' smiled and pointed to a shopping bag. "I got something to eat. Can not I?"
"But! Yes, of course! Forgive Sensei ... "Shiro bowed.
"He looks younger than I expected ..." Kaori whispers to Gon.
"Yes. The world is full of surprises, isn't it? "Gon agrees.
The 'Sensei' noticed the two children. "And who are you two?" He smiled pleasantly. "New students or what?"
There was a brief pause, then Gon took a step forward. "I want to train here to regain my Nen!"
"I want to get more experience in combat! I want to get stronger. "Kaori added for himself.
"I see." He went ahead. "Follow me. Let's keep talking over a cup of tea, okay? "
"Yes!"
~ in a room ... in a house on the dojo property ~
While Shiro poured tea for everyone, Gon and Kaori sat across from the 'Sensei' at the table.
"I forgot to introduce myself ..." he started. "My name is Tanju and as you have already learned correctly this dojo belongs to me, but I don't own it for that long. I inherited it from my grandfather. "He smiled at the thought. "... how nostalgic I get ... at the thought ..." He mumbled.
"I'm Gon."
"My name is Kaori." She bows slightly.
"Gon and Kaori ... so ..." he pondered. "You seem to have a lot of potential." He looks at Gon. "You want to get your Nen' back '? Have I understood that correctly?"
"Um ... yes." Gon scratched his head. "A long story."
Tanju nodded. "And you?" He turned to Kaori.
The blue-haired girl pondered how to say it. "I can do Nen ... but I'm learning relatively slowly ... I want to finally master my personal ability ... that's why the training ..." She said with a hidden expression of sadness
The only one who noticed the expression from the blue-haired girl was Gon, who looked at the girl questioningly.
'When I think about it right, Kaori has hardly told me anything about herself ... is she worried about anything?'
"Well, children!" Tanju got up, which surprised both of them. "I've thought about it."
"Sensei?" Shiro looked at his master.
"I'll train you two! On the one hand, that you have your Nen back to how it was before! "He pointed to Gon. "And on the other hand, that you can be proud of yourself that you have become stronger!" He points to Kaori.
"Really ?" Gon got excited. "Thanks alot!"
"Yes ... thank you." Kaori bowed again.
Shiro had an astonished look on his face. 'I had to persuade him longer ... and even then I didn't have him until much later ... as my personal teacher ... he sighed. 'These children ... are probably something special.'
"We can start normally tomorrow, is that okay?" The older man asked the two of them.
"Yes!" Gon jumped in the air with delight. While Kaori looked thoughtful, which Gon naturally noticed. "What do you have, Kaori?"
"Gon…." The girl started. "Where should we sleep while we are here? I mean ... is there a hotel here? "
…..
….
…..
"Right! You're right ! "Gon got a little nervous. "I didn't think of that at all!"
"No problem, you two." Shiro spoke.
"Huh ?"
"You may not have seen it right away, but this property is huge. This of course also means that we have many extra rooms. Isn't that okay, isn't it Sensei? "
"Of course." The brown-haired man smiled. "You are not the first to get a room here. Hehe… "he grinned. "So, can you rest now ... see you tomorrow!"
"YES!"
Gon and Kaori got a room ...
It's like a modest hotel room, with two rooms, a bathroom and a small 'mini-bar'
Gon immediately jumped onto the soft bed while Kaori went into the other room with the other beds.
"It's good that everything went so smoothly…." The black-haired boy was pleased, then he yawned.
While Kaori also sat on her bed and smiled slightly. 'If I get stronger through this workout ... I won't be a burden on Gon ... I owe him so much ...' then she thought again. 'Nevertheless ... I have the feeling that I have heard the name of the dojo somewhere. …but where?'
'I think I prefer to take a shower ...'
She got up to go to Gon.
"Hey, Gon, do you mind if ..." But then she looked at Gon lying on the bed with her eyes closed. '…he's sleeping.'
She looked briefly at the sleeping figure, then smiled slightly. '… Tomorrow will be a tough day….'
With that she went to Gon to properly cover him with the blanket.
'Good night, Gon ...' she blushed slightly. 'I'll see you tomorrow.'
To be continue…
