CHAPTER ONE: SETTING THE STAGE

Narration: Centuries ago in a certain Asiatic country, there were three kingdoms that waged war for supremacy and control of the land that became China. They were the Wu, Wei and Shu empires. Each possessed skilled warriors and genius strategists. The battles went on for years until there was only one left standing. Their epic struggles, glorious triumphs, heartbreaking defeats and legendary exploits were immortalized in the Magatama. Magatama are sacred gems that possess the spirits of the warriors that hailed from the Three Kingdoms time. How they all wound up in Japan is a mystery. Magatama impart their power and fate upon each person that carries one. Those who carry Magatama are known as Toushi. This has cycle has repeated itself for the last 1800 years. A new cycle now begins with new twists and turns and with new entities previously unheard of. Will these new forces be able to assist the Toushi in permanently breaking this accursed cycle of fate once and for all!

The location is Tokyo, Japan. The year is 2006 AD.

[An alarm clock goes off in a sizeable brown house. A young man covers the top of his head with a pillow. And after a few minutes of continued sleeping, he finally removes the pillow. He gets out of bed and yawns. He is dressed in navy blue sweatpants with no shirt. He has cut muscular body with medium build. He appears to be of African-American/Asian descent with light brown skin, jet black hair and Azure eyes. He walks into his bathroom and looks in the mirror and he sees that his skin is about the same tone as Viletta Nu's from Code Geass.]

A boy sighs then yawns signifying his tiredness and non-desire to want to go to school. "So, I'm back in Japan, huh. It's been a long time since I've been here. But, now I have to go back to school. Man, that sucks..."

[He hops in the shower and gets dressed. He doesn't bother to comb his wild spiked hair. He gets dressed in a pair of baggy jeans and white long sleeve shirt with nothing on it. He then puts on navy blue t-shirt that has the words "Question Authority" printed in large white letters on the front. He hears a voice.]

A womanly voice bellows to get the boy downstairs. "Kajiiii! You're gonna be late for school! I'll be waiting in the car! Hurry up!"

[Kaji comes down the stairs where there is a beautiful brown haired Asiatic (possibly from China) woman in her thirties waiting for him. She has long hair and jade green eyes and a fair-skin complexion. She claps her hands in a rapid fashion to rush him even more.]

"Mom, I'm 15 years old. I don't need you to drop me off. Why can't I just drive? I mean, we have 2 cars because of the divorce. Also, you need to put on some clothes, Mom. Running a restaurant doesn't require you to look like that."

"Fine, but you're taking your Dad's car. My Mercedes is not going anywhere with you. As for my clothes I like this attire. I'm only 35 ya know. Stop treating me like an old woman, damn it."

"Fine, that's cool. I meant the car. Not your clothes Mom. You're still too old to be acting like some party girl, ya know."

Endi hands him a set of keys.

"Oh whatever. Anyways, there's one more thing I have to give you."

She pulls out what looks like an earring and tries to put it on his right ear, however he manages to shift his body to her right side to avoid her putting it on him. She just deadpans him.

"Oh, so now your ass knows how to dodge!"

"Mom! What are you doing? I don't wear earrings, they're not manly. You know that having one in the right ear alone is a homosexual symbol."

Endi then pinches the bridge of her nose in exasperation. "That's nothing more than superstitious bullshit, Kaji. Also, a real man would be confident enough in his masculinity to wear anything."

Kaji scoffs as he continues to try and get the bead away from him. "We were in San Fran, come on now. And I'm plenty confident in my masculinity. I just don't do earrings."

"Whatever, this is not an earring anyways. This is a sacred bead. It's called a Magatama."

"What's that?"

"It's a jewel of fate. It is one that fighters wear as an identifier. Toushi, Martial Artists, and so on. You will need it at Nanyo. Even if you don't wear it on your ear, you will need to have it on your person at all times. This bead can be a deciding factor between life and death."

[She continues to explain the magatama to him. It's purpose, what it is and what it represents to those who are forced to wear it.]

"Are you serious?"

Endi looks at Kaji seriously. "Like castration."

"Mom...Holy shit."

"I think that you will do well there. The Long Fist won't fail you. Well, you'll do well as long as you don't become standoffish. ...Seriously, Kaji."

"...Fine. Anyways Mom, I'm really not interested in Toushi or Martial Artists or whatever. I just want to go to school to cheat on tests and meet some pretty girls. What's the point of fighting for it's own sake?"

Endi sighs in exhaustion before chiding her lazy son. "Hah...You can't just lay in pussy all day, son. Or chase it all the time. You need to have more ambition than that nonsense. This is tradition we're talking about here. I was a fighter as strong as any Toushi in High School. And my old stomping grounds splintered off into Nanyo Academy. Where is your competitive spirit, my son? Plus, this will help you meet a ton of friends and those "pretty girls" you were just talking about. One can also learn honor, respect, discipline and loyalty through combat which you can use more of."

"Alright, alright. That's enough with the philosophical stuff, Mom." Kaji says as Endi then steps closer to him.

Endi nods and then attacks Kaji with a knife chop aiming towards his face. He parries the chop and attempts to Kung-Fu punch her in retaliation. She redirects him and then they exchange a series of Kung-fu punches and blocks. After a few minutes, Endi lands a back fist. She pulled it at the end so that she wouldn't hurt Kaji. To her surprise, Kaji stands firm as if ready to accept the punch. Her knuckle barely touches his nose, to which he still doesn't flinch from it. She smiles at that knowing that Kaji's getting significantly stronger and more mentally sharp when it comes to the Long Fist style.

Endi scratches her chin, then smiles at Kaji. "Hm, you're getting better. Keep practicing, you'll surpass me one day, Kaji."

"I guess I'll go now."

"Have a good first day."

"You too, Mom. " Kaji and Endi hug and she hands him the Magatama to which he just pockets it for the moment. Kaji then walks out of the house and to the car and gets in. He then takes his sapphire-colored Magatama out of his pocket and attaches it to a live-strong band he has on one of his wrists. He then drives away.

Kaji then looks at the Magatama one more time on his wrist band and sneers. "Yeah, still not wearing that thing on my ear. I don't care how Mom tries to goad me."

[Elsewhere, a young woman has overslept. She is rather buxom, has strawberry blonde hair and a fair skin complexion. She also, has already missed the bus and is still sleeping.]

[Further elsewhere, another young man lays in a tree, he is sleeping. His long, black hair covers his eyes and dangles from the branch. His skin is white, though is darker in tone. He wears a white button-up shirt, the sleeves rolled up just below the elbow, white cargo shorts (tightened with a black leather belt), and straw sandals. From his waist dangles a sake gourd, filled with "God knows what" inside. A small thump upside his head wakes him, revealing itself to be a small rock tossed by several on-lookers below.]

The now drowsy boy then complains to himself. "Fuck, can't a guy sleep off a night of running from a one-night-stand?"

The first Teenager yelled up the tree to try and get the attention of the sleeping boy. "Hey you! Get down from there!"

A Second Teenager speaks up to confirm what the first said. "Yeah, this is Kyosho territory!"

"Huh? Oh, I see. Very well then."

[The young man jumps down, his hair now parting to reveal the brown eyes underneath, both lazily held open only by the prospect of a fight. He takes a swig from the gourd and goes on the offensive by spitting it in the face of the first teen.]

Teen #1 grunts while wiping off the spit from the mystery drink off of his face. "Fuck! What is this stuff?!"

[The young man tosses the gourd in the air, attracting the attention of the other boys as with one swift kick he appears on the other side, catching the gourd flawlessly.]

The boy answers. "It's formal name is, Hung Gar Style - Shadowless Kick. Oh, you meant the drink didn't you? Hm, well let's call it Tiger Sake. Very potent if I do say so myself."

[The two teens are sent flying back, multiple marks on their chests appear at once, suggesting several kicks rather than one. The young man continues walking towards a large building, whose courtyard the tree was housed in. At the house of the girl, a purple haired woman shouts at her.]

"Hakufu, wake up!"

Sonsaku scratches her head and grumpily gets out of bed, topless. "Ugh, damn it Mom. I was about to get up."

The purple haired woman chides. "When?"

[Sonsaku then angrily stomps towards the bathroom and showers. She gets dressed in a low cut yellow sun dress and high heels. She comes barreling down the stairs only to trip over her heels and tumble down the rest of the stairs. There are two other children who reside with her. They are sitting at the table laughing at Sonsaku. They have purple hair and eyes like their mother. Sonsaku gets up and looks at the 2 other teens.]

Sonsaku growls at the two other kids. "S-shut up or I'll kick your asses!"

The purple haired woman glares at Sonsaku. "You shut up Hakufu, you're already late for your first day."

[The young man from before heads in, virtually unimpeded. He makes it to the lobby, where he is finally face to face with another young man with auburn hair and ominous eyes. The auburn haired boy is laying down on some steps looking absolutely bored out of his mind.]

The boy approaches the relaxing auburn-haired boy and speaks "You're Sousou Motoku...right?"

[He says before taking another drink.]

Sousou responds in a neutral tone not wanting to be bothered. "Indeed, I am. But who, pray tell, are you?"

"My name is Kouhiko Houken..."

Sousou then looks at him while still laying down like a lazy beach bum. "Kouhiko? So, I take it that your Magatama is that of Wong Fei Hung?"

"Yep."

[He drinks again.]

Sousou sits up looking mildly interested in Kouhiko. He looks him over to size him up as if he's appraising him for some reason. Kouhiko is unnerved by it but schools his response. "Well then, what does a Canton Tiger, or rather a Westerner with the Magatama of one of them, want with me?

Kouhiko shrugs before answering. "I don't know. I'm now apparently a student here."

[Kaji gets out of the car. He looks around to see everyone is wearing uniforms. He knew but wore his own clothes anyway. As he crosses the street he is nearly ran over by another car, but jumps out of the way just in time. He approaches the vehicle and knocks on the window.]

"Hey man, you should watch your speed in the parking lot..."

One of the teens in the car glares at Kaji and spat. "Fuck off kid!"

[The car parks and 4 teens get out of the car.]

"You know that's a safety hazard, right?" Kaji retorted in a smart-ass manner.

The second teen yells angrily at Kaji. "And what the fuck are you supposed to be, student council?! Close your mouth or we'll close it for you!"

[The 4 teens surround him. Kaji doesn't flinch for even a second, instead he smirks. The teens snarl at Kaji's flippant attitude and decide to charge him.]

Kaji then cracks his knuckles and limbers up. "Well, since you asked for it."

[Kaji jumps into the air and does a 360 spin kick. It hits all 4, knocking them out.]

"Ryuushinku (Dragon Vaccum). The tried and true area clearer. Can't beat it. Also, damn you guys are whack. "

[Little does Kaji know, someone is watching him. It is a young man dressed in a pair of black slacks with a white shirt, yellow sweater vest and a red tie. He walks up to Kaji in a friendly manner.]

The boy gets closer, but is a bit apprehensive in his approach. "Nice moves you got there. What's up?"

"I warned those assholes not to fuck with me. Anyways, who are you?"

One of them tries to get up. Kaji notices this and he kicks him in the face, knocking him out cold again. He then shrugs while the other young man just raise an eyebrow at him signifying 'Why did you do that?'

Kaji shrugs before answering the boy. "What? He was going to attack me again. Had to beat him to the punch, preemptive strike and all that."

The boy shrugs but continues on. "Okay...Anyways, my name is Shuuyu Koukin. I'm a freshman here."

Shuuyu extends his hand to Kaji. Kaji accepts the handshake.

"Me too...the name's Kaji Ryuken. You seem quite alright, Shuuyu."

"Are you a Toushi, Kaji?"

Shuuyu looks at his ear and sees nothing.

"Eh, I guess you could say that. I don't like earrings. Like at all." Kaji then shrugs, before he holds up his right arm. His Magatama is is still attached to the live-strong wristband.

"That's an original way to wear it. Also that color is weird, it's not one of the official recognized colors of the Magatama. I take it you're a Martial Artist actually, huh?"

Kaji shrugs before smirking at Shuuyu. "It belongs to an original guy. And yeah, what's the difference? We're both defined by our Magatama though."

"Well, from what my aunt told me, A Toushi is one who is bound by the spirit of a long-passed famous warrior. Here in Kanto, it's the warriors of the old Han period and is defined by the warrior. As in they share the same name of that warrior and all of that. She also said that a Martial Artist while having the soul of a famous, well 'Martial Artist', that isn't their being and instead usually have different names and identities. For example, my name IS Shuuyu Koukin and I have the soul of Zhou Yu. Your name is Kaji Ryuken and you probably have the soul of an old Martial Artist. I assume it's Huo Yuanjia, but that's not your name probably. Also, you can't be possessed by your soul warrior like we can. You can however, probably, channel some of their power, but that's about it. You won't have to worry about it overtaking you and warping your personality like we Toushi have to worry about. At least from what my aunt says. "

"Okay. I guess I get it. Anyways, what do you mean by official Magatama colors? What does that mean? Is that something akin to a power level indicator?"

Shuuyu begins to explain. "Actually, that's exactly what it is. The colors goes as following, E rank is Jade colored. D rank is White. C rank is Scarlet. B rank is Silver. A rank is Gold, but a Special A rank is a translucent gold coloring. An S rank is Seven-Colored Rainbow. And I've heard of ranks even stronger than those. I assume that because your Magatama falls outside of those colors is proof that you're not exactly a Toushi, but a Martial Artist. My aunt told me that regular humans can't even hold a Magatama or it'd kill them."

"Whoa, that's some crazy shit. Anyways, what are you doing just sitting in the parking lot?"

"I'm waiting for my cousin and aunt to get here."

"Well, he's running pretty late then." Kaji looks down at an imaginary watch on his wrist and taps it to get his point across.

"My cousin is a girl." Shuuyu corrected.

Kaji then ponders something. (Hm...Wonder if she looks good? I'll wait with him.) he then speaks to Shuuyu once again. "Point still stands."

Shuuyu then gives Kaji a once-over and begins to chide him in a roundabout manner. 'Also, I noticed that you are not in dress code. We have to wear uniforms here. Didn't you know that? The administration should have sent you a care package that included your uniform."

"I knew and I did get the package, I just didn't wear one anyway."

He points to the text on his t-shirt. A creed that he fully believes in. 'Don't Trust Authority.' Shuuyu just chuckles at that. "Good luck with that rebel. You said you just got back to Japan. Where were you before?"

"America. I've been there the last 10 years."

Shuuyu then scratches his chin. "Hm, I would have thought so..."

Kaji then asks. "What's the deal with all of this Toushi or whatever stuff anyway?"

Shuuyu explains for his benefit. "We are in the Han School district. They govern all of the schools in the area. Their president presides over Nanyo Academy as well as all of the other schools in the Han District although we each have our own school leaders. Nanyo along with Seito and Kyosho are 3 largest schools in the district. However, there are currently 7 large schools. There have been multiple conflicts between them over the last two decades. Although we are in a lull right now."

"What have I gotten myself into?" Kaji then lets out a 'tch' before having a bit of an inner monologue. (Mom didn't mention this little tidbit. Meh, calm down Kaji. How bad could it actually be? Still looking forward to all of the pretty girls I'll meet and hopefully bed.)

"There has been an armistice in the district for the last 16 years. We should be good to go for our 4 years. Hopefully..."

"Hold on, with terms like 'armistice' you describe this like it's an actual war."

Shuuyu then looks at Kaji with the utmost seriousness. "It's certainly not a game. The last conflict was very bloody, several dozens lost their lives to the conflict. And that's just the Toushi count. The Human count is probably even higher."

[Kaji looks shocked.]

"Wha-"

"My aunt attended the Metropolitan Han High School which splintered off to Nanyo, Seito, Kyosho, and Rakuyo after the last war. She is considered a hero and a legend amongst those who fought."

Kaji looks taken aback. "Woah."

Shuuyu then looks down at his watch, then back at Kaji. "It's almost time for class. Aren't you gonna go now?"

"I think I'll stay here with you. I wanna see what your cousin looks like." Shuuyu stares at Kaji owlishly. Kaji waves him off and continues lying. "That sounded weird I know. But what I mean that if she is the daughter of a war hero then she must be crazy strong, right?"

Shuuyu rolls his eyes at Kaji's crappy excuse. "Sure thing, Kaji, sure thing. Well, she should be here soon enough. As a forewarning, she can be incredibly stupid at times. So forgive her if she says something dumb. Also, yes she is quite strong."

-Back to Kouhiko and the Kyosho contingent-

Sousou arches an eyebrow at Kouhiko for a split second. "What?"

Kouhiko shrugs his shoulders. "Yep, thought I'd actually drop by and say "hello". So, hello."

[Sousou scans him.]

Sousou thinks to himself with an unreadable expression on his face. (He looks useful.) "Where's your Magatama?"

"I got it on me, but I won't show you. But maybe if she wants to, she can see it."

[Kouhiko looks at a black haired girl dressed in a white qipao. She shows no visual change in expression.]

The qipao girl then squints her eyes at Kouhiko. "Pervert..."

Kouhiko lamely tries to defend himself. "Hey, look I'm not trying to put the moves on you or anything." (Yet.) "I just don't like guys coming near my person. Here, see?" Kouhiko then pulls a chain out of his pocket with the lavender Magatama attached to the end.

Sousou thinks to himself for a second. (A Martial Artist, huh? Well, the council did tell me that one would be coming my way. Alright then.) "Very well, I guess you're in."

"That's good. Now tell your guys to leave me alone, I was sleeping peacefully until now."

[Kouhiko walks away. Sousou turns to the girl who had sat beside him.]

Sousou smirks as Kouhiko walks away. "A Martial Artist, huh? He's surely a interesting one, right, En?"

The now named Kakouen just blankly looks at Sousou "...Sure thing."

-Hakufu's house-

Sonsaku then turns to her Mother and has a testy look in her eyes. "Mom. You can't talk about anything. Me, a bum? Hah. I have a job. You don't. You're living off of Dad's money. The great Han hero, the 'Purple Tyrant' Goei reduced to a common housewife. And a moocher of one too. Feh."

[Goei turns to her with an evil glare in her eye.]

Goei seethes as she questions her daughter. "W-What did you just say?!" She grabs Hakufu and begins spanking her full-force.

"This is what you get for disrespecting me!"

"Augh! Stop. Stop it damn you, I'm sorry. Gah!"

Goei laughs maniacally. "Hahahahah! When did you become such a disrespectful brat. I didn't raise you to be such. Why can't you be more like your little sister and brother. " She laughs as she reddens Sonsaku's bottom. Meanwhile, Kouhiko decided that since there was nothing to do at Kyosho, he would go for a walk to get his bearings. He wanders around Tokyo having left Kyosho because he was unable to fall back to sleep. He finds himself at another academy, the sign saying "Seito". He heads up the long stairway and through the open gates to find a girl putting away a long polearm which signified that she's finished with her daily training. Having peaked his interest, he watches her.

"Looks like I've got something to pass the time with. "

"You there, what are you doing?"

[As he walks further up the gate and into the common area, he sees a tall, buxom tanned-skinned purple-haired girl with cobalt eyes. He studies her even more as he gets closer and notices that she's wearing a training Gi and has a large Guan Dao strapped to her back.]

"Oh my. This is quite the sight. Hi there, cutie. I'm just visiting your lovely establishment. Seito, huh?"

"Is that so? This isn't some tourist attraction. You're on private property. Leave!"

Houken shrugs and retorts. "Then maybe close your gates, yeah?"

[She draws the weapon on Houken, who doesn't care in the slightest.]

"Hmph. You're not afraid, but rather confident in yourself. State your name!"

"Houken."

The purplenette amazon glares at him. "Full name..."

"My name's Kouhiko Houken. I don't get what the big deal is."

She sheathes the blade. "I apologize. You have a rare Magatama. One that's of Wong Fei Hung. Heh, I guess you're not a Toushi, but rather an Martial Artist. Most interesting."

Kouhiko then looks around before looking back at the girl. "People around here seem to know that fact a little too well."

"It's fine. There's nothing you can do about it now. Anyways, my name is Kan'u Unchou."

[Kouhiko extends his hand and smiles at her. "A pleasure. Hey, quick question. It's going to sound weird, but here goes: Are you dating anyone?"

Kan'u shakes his hand and chuckles. "You certainly don't waste time with formalities do you? And no, no I'm not. And sorry, but I'm not looking for anyone right now."

Kouhiko shrugs at her. "Damn. Oh well."

-Back to Sonsaku's house-

"AHHHHHH!" Sonsaku screams out while Goei is spanking her.

[Tears begin to flow from her eyes as her rear end reddens...Her brother and sister chuckle at her misfortune.]

The scrawny boy with short black hair and a fair-skin complexion with black eyes then laughs at Sonsaku's misfortune. "Look her squirm, Sonken. Hahaha!"

The smaller, yet somewhat busty purple-haired girl with fair-skin complexion and hazel eyes raises a finger to her chin and thoughtfully replies. "Damn idiot. You know, if she would just think about what she says before she says it. Then she wouldn't be in this mess, all the time. As it stands, she deserves it Sonshoko."

"Indeed. Sorry this has to be the last thing you see before you head to Kansai, sis."

Sonken smiles at the scene while she talks to the youngest child. "Heh. I'm glad it is. I need a bit of normalcy before I go into that crazy world, haha. I've heard that Kansai's on a whole other level to Kanto. Hell, I'll probably be the strongest of the three of us. You better train your ass off while in Chubu, little bro."

Sonshoko then looks at his older sister, the middle child. "No doubt I will. I heard that Chubu's crazy as well. I can't wait to see how strong we are the next time we can all meet up, Ken."

-Meanwhile, back at Seito-

[A second female dressed in a training Gi just like Kan'u then jumps down from a nearby tree and punches the ground. Whether to look cool in front of Kouhiko or to try and intimidate him, he didn't know. She then stood up and blew her fist to blow the dust off. She is a buxom young woman with short brown hair, a fair skin complexion and red eyes. Unlike Kan'u, she is empty-handed as her preferred fighting style is bare-handed fisticuffs.) She spots Kouhiko 'pitching woo' to Kanu.]

The girl glowers at Kouhiko. "Hey! What are you doing here? This is an all girls school. Leave at once! Unless you want me to kick your ass!"

The short-haired girl then addresses Kan'u. "And what the hell do you think you're doing? Stop screwin' around, Kanu."

"Hey there. I'm just enjoying the view. And it's quite the pretty one you have here, I must say. Who are you though?"

Kan'u then looks at the short-haired girl. "Ekitoku, where's Gentoku?"

"Ekitoku? So you're Chouhi Ekitoku, huh."

"Yeah, what of it?!" Chouhi snapped at Kouhiko which just made him throw his hands up defensively.

"N-Nothing. I was just asking. Calm down."

"Why are you here? You tryin' to start something, hotshot?"

"W-what? No. I was just wandering around, trying to get my bearings. I just got here about a week ago and the only place I've been is a brothel and Kyosho Academy."

"So you're a Kyosho boy, huh? Name!"

[A third young lady with long auburn hair oversized glasses and jade colored eyes runs out dressed in a gi. Her belt is on incorrectly and it's loose on top of that, suggesting that she was in a rush to change before hearing some voices outside.]

"Kanu! Chouhi! Sorry I'm late..." The third person said as she continues to run until she trips over her own feet. She face-plants into the grass but not before one of her massive chesticles pops out of her Gi. Houken raises an eyebrow at her.

"Gentoku!"

[Chouhi runs to Ryuubi and helps her up and resituates her uniform. While doing so, she shields Ryuubi from the view of Kouhiko's "prying" eyes.]

"Thank you, Chou-san." Ryuubi said, embarrased about her wipe-out.

"You don't have to thank me, just be more careful, damn it. And you, yeah I'm Chouhi Ekitoku. What's it to you-whoever you are!"

[Chouhi picks up Ryuubi's glasses and hands them to her. Houken then turns to Kan'u, who is hiding her blushing face.]

(So, that's how it is, then...Alrighty.) Kouhiko thinks to himself.

[He turns back to Ryuubi.]

"So, you're Ryuubi Gentoku, correct?"

"Yeah, that's me. It's nice to meet you...um..." Ryubi asked, wanting him to finish the conversation.

"Kouhiko Houken."

[Ryuubi giggles and runs over to offer a friendly handshake. She holds her boobs in place as she runs. She then extends her hand to him.]

-Sonsaku's house-

[Sonsaku tries to regain her composure as she walks to Goei's car. She is somewhat successful but is still sniffling.]

"You didn't have to spank me for that long, Mom. Most people my age don't get spanked any more." Sonsaku complained which caused Goei to growl at her.

[Kouhiko accepts the handshake.]

"You seem to be a very kind spirit. Sousou is more regal. Wonder how the Nanyo leader will be?" Kouhiko then ponders out loud.

"Just be thankful I only spanked you, Sonsaku!" Goei said with a hint of poorly-suppressed anger in her voice.

[Goei starts the car. They begin to drive and Sonsaku has managed to calm down a bit.]

Sonsaku looks down at her hands nervously. "It's my first day, huh? My first day of high school...In Tokyo...I'm nervous Mom. What if no one likes me?" \Goei turns to her and gives her a motherly smile washing away her previous anger towards Sonsaku's earlier comments.

"I'm sure you'll do just fine, Hakufu. After all, you're a cheery girl, there's bound to be someone you'll get along with. And on top of that, you're my daughter. You'll do well. Well, here we are."

[They stop in front of Nanyo Academy.]

Goei speaks encouragingly to her eldest daughter. "Try and meet a nice boy!" Goei smiles.

"I'll try." Sonsaku then looks out of the window and perks up seeing Kaji and Shuuyu (mainly Kaji though).

"Ooh, there's a cute one standing next to Koukin. And he looks kind of foreign." Sonsaku said as her interest was peaked.

[She points to Kaji, who is unaware that she is ogling over him.]

-Seito-

Chouhi stares at Kouhiko aggressively, after seeing him eyeing Ryubi. "I bet you were just checking out all these 'young, nubile' girl, huh? You're not slick, perv."

"Huh. That's not what I was doing. I just told you what I was doing. Stop assuming shit, Chouhi."

Goei then looks at Kaji and has a moment where she recognizes him. "Wait...is that Endi's kid?" (Well, this is interesting. When did she get back? Eh, I've got quite a bit of time to kill before I have to take Sonken and Sonshoko to the bus stop.)

"Endi? Isn't that your friend that ran off to America with the military guy back in the day?"

"Well. That's my aunt's car. So, she's here."

Kaji then looks at Shuuyu. "I wonder what's taking them so long to get out of the car?" Shuuyu just shrugs his shoulders at him.

"Yeah." Goei responds to Sonsaku, looking thoughtful.

[Goei get's out of the car.]

Goei then looks and spots Shuuyu as well. "Oh, there's Koukin too. As you've said, Hakufu."

[Sonsaku also gets out of the car. She runs up to the 2 of them and yells out her greeting with great excitement. Kaji stands there with his hands in his pocket.]

(Look at her face...and that body. She's a definitely a banger. I'll have to talk to her alone, real soon. Hopefully, without Koukin around.) Kaji said as he held a finger to his chin to leer at her.

"Koukin!" Sonsaku said, excitedly, not having seeing her cousin in quite some times. She hugs Shuuyu tightly to her. Shuuyu's face is being smothered by Sonsaku's enormous boobs.

(Come on now Shuuyu, don't get hard... F-fight it, she's your damn cousin! Ah shit, she's so damn soft though. That's not fair, man! Japan or not! Shit...) Shuuyu miserably whined.

[And despite his efforts Shuuyu becomes aroused anyway. Kaji stares at them blankly. Hakufu finally lets go and turns her attention to Kaji.]

"Hi! You're cute. What's your name?" Sonsaku blurts out as she gets closer to Kaji.

"Uh...I'm Kaji Ryuken." He said taken back by her bluntness. (She just says what's on her mind, huh? My type of girl for sure.)

Kaji looks at the bags under her eyes. "It looks like you've been crying. Mind telling me what's wrong?"

[Sonsaku finishes inching towards him, and was spontaneous in her hugging of him and rests her head on his chest, because he had reminded her of what happened earlier put a damper on her mood.]

"I had a rough morning." Sonsaku then whined to him.

"Eh, it will be ok. I'll make sure the rest of your day goes smoothly." Kaji returns the hug and embraces Hakufu, meanwhile Goei gets out of the car and heads over to them.

Goei ignores this and rolls her eyes, but did approach Kaji and spoke to him. "So, it seems Endi is back in town. Am I right, boy?"

-Back at Seito-

"Anyway, ladies, I'll have to get going. Though I'm a Kyosho man, I have to see Nanyo as well. Maybe we'll meet again later on." Kouhiko then walks away.

"Hey!" Chouhi said as she tried to stop Kouhiko to try and fight him. But he already sped-walked away, she just sighed to herself before looking at Kan'u. "We just let him go. He is one of Sousou's boys. And we just let him go."

"How do you know my mom?"

"It seems so. He has a strong spirit but he wasn't hostile."

"Your mother and I attended Han Metropolitan in our younger years. I'm surprised that she didn't mention me. How is she?"

"Oh? So You're Goei?"

"Yes, I am."

"In that case, she did mention having a friend from her high school days. Well, to answer your question. She's a drunken party girl now. She and my Dad recently divorced so she moved back to Tokyo. She runs a Chinese bar and grill downtown."

[Endi is full Chinese and a master of preparing Chinese cuisine. She originally lived in Japan despite being full Chinese. It was her 17th birthday when she fell in love with a young Black American soldier who had stationed off of the coast of Fussa and had wandered to Tokyo with some friends for some downtime. When Endi and him locked eyes, it was an instant attraction. And from there on, every time he would get some downtime and was allowed to leave the Fussa station, he would immediately head down to Tokyo to see about a young Endi. For a couple of years they dated, until it was time for him to return back to America. Endi being fully convinced he was the one had decided to go to America with him (they had conceived the oldest child, Jason by this time and she was [unbeknownst to her] pregnant with Kaji (Bryan) at the time.) And it was there where they officially married and continued their family eventually adding one more child, a young boy named Shin (Cameron).]

"Drunken party girl? That sounds awfully familiar to me." Sonsaku mumbled as she looks at Goei. Kaji reads the atmosphere and intervenes before anything can happen.

"I see where your daughter gets her ravishing beauty. What are your names anyway?"

Sonsaku is still resting her head on Kaji's chest. She mumbles out her name to Kaji. "Sonsaku Hakufu."

Goei smiles at Kaji and speaks again. "Well then, aren't you a flattering boy? You're right, I am Goei. I see my old friend has been living it up, that's good."

[Kouhiko slowly makes his way onto the Nanyo school grounds, spotting Goei immediately.]

"Damn, let's hope you're a student, cuz' I like what I see."

Goei turns to Kouhiko. "Huh? Another flatterer? And a looker too..."

(It seems like Auntie's found a new boy-toy. We should leave before she gets antsy. Sigh...) "Hey, we'd better get to class." Shuuyu said gaining Sonsaku's and Kaji's attention.

"Huh. So it seems your Mom found someone interesting. Or rather he found her? I dunno..."

"Yeah... Koukin's right, let's go."

[Kaji, Shuuyu and Sonsaku go inside the building. She takes Kaji's hand.]

"So Hakufu. Why were you crying earlier? Why was your morning so rough?" Kaji asked, not letting sleeping dogs lie.

"Do you really wanna know?" Sonsaku asked him, despondently.

"Yeah."

"It's because of my mom. Mom spanked me at home."

Shuuyu sighs at that and asks her. "What did you do now, Hakufu?"

"Uu... Shut up Koukin..."

Kaji asked confusedly as he turned to her. "Wait, what? Are you serious?"

"Y-yeah."

"What the fuck! You get spanked at this age?" Kaji noticed that he said that out loud and also noticed that Sonsaku was sniffling in embarrassment, so he held her hand to console her. Shuuyu just facepalms at that.

(Oh wow. I will probably have to keep my distance, that's some weird shit. A relationship with her probably wouldn't last long anyways. But damn, her body's bangin' though. Hopefully I can hit that once or twice.) Kaji thinks to himself.

Shuuyu chided him. "Smooth..."

[Kaji then felt a legit itch on the top of his scalp and lets go of Sonsaku's hand and scratches his head with with the hand she was holding onto. He wasn't exactly trying to hurt her feelings, she however believed that it was because of he was being gentlemanly. So it weirdly hurt her feelings and made her day all the same.]

"..."

[They walk into their first class.]

"Now then, my dear, how about you and I get together some time?"

"Hm. I really shouldn't but why not. I've got two other kids and they're transferring to different schools in two different prefectures relatively soon. How about you come with me and later this evening, I'll give you a real surprise."

"Why?"

"Why what?"

"Why are you sending your kids to two different prefectures? That sounds like a complete hassle."

"I want my kids to show all of Japan just how great the legacy of Goei, The Purple Tyrant is. Haha. And I want them to become their own person. Now, enough about that. How about us?"

[She moves the shoulders of her kimono to show extra skin. Then she presents her hand to Kouhiko who just took it in adoration.]

"Mm, flawless~ Looking forward to it. But before that..." Kouhiko said as he held her hand to plant a kiss on it.
