Masyo stuck her head out from the kitchen door.
"Tetsuo, you hungry" she said, still staring at him.
"Starving" said Tetsuo, he was as well. He couldn't remember the last time he'd eaten, "I guess with all the clown mauling, bike exploding, powers awakening, looking for Akira, fighting my best friend and destroying Neo- Tokyo and killing thousands, I must have forgotten to eat" he said to himself. Tetsuo turned around to face Nobuyuki, who was staring at him weirdly.
"Do I have something hanging from my nose?" said Tetsuo irritated,
"No" said Nobuyuki, "you just remind of some-one that's all." Tetsuo stared at Nobuyuki with a perplexed look on his face.
"How old are you anyway Tetsuo?" shouted Masyo from the kitchen.
"I'll be sixteen in July!" Tetsuo shouted back.
"What a coincidence, that's the same age as….." said Masyo, before she was interrupted by Nobuyuki saying "So Masyo, dinner ready yet?"
"Yeah come and get it!" she shouted, "Tetsuo I hope you're as hungry as you said you were"
"Why are we having?" asked Tetsuo,
"Steak, Fries, fried Egg and Mushrooms" said Masyo. Tetsuo's stomach rumbled like it had never before. Steak. He had never eaten Steak in his life. When he was with Kaneda he didn't know what the hell he used to eat, but one thing was for sure it wasn't Steak. Tetsuo sat down at the table, picked up the knife and fork and began to devour the food before Nobuyuki and Masyo even sat down. Tetsuo was eaten like a pig, like he had never eaten before.
"Shit boy, don't they feed you where you come from?" asked Nobuyuki,
"Well where I grew up, you had a choice of Salmonella and Fries or a knuckle sandwich, so Kaneda and I found our own food," said Tetsuo in between mouthfuls.
"Who's Kaneda?" asked Masyo starting to eat her own food.
"My……friend," hesitated Tetsuo, "Got any beer?"
"For you? No. You're fifteen for Christ's sake" said Nobuyuki.
Normally Tetsuo would've said something back, but Steak meals, a warm place to stay, Tetsuo needed Nobuyuki a lot more than Nobuyuki needed him. Without Kaneda and his powers temporally out of action, he wouldn't survive long on his own, so he decided to keep quiet.
With dinner over and done with, Tetsuo sat back in the chair and relaxed, patting his stomach, he had never had a meal like that in his life.
"Did you like my food Tetsuo?" asked Masyo, fishing for compliments. Tetsuo sat up and stared at Masyo. She was pretty o.k. sure she was a little annoying, but she was one hell of a cook and she kinda reminded him of Kaori. Tetsuo had to focus of something else, thinking of Kaori just made his heart ache with a pain he had never felt before in his life. He thought he should pay Masyo a compliment, who knows being nice might even suit him.
"It was great thanks. I never had a meal like that before," he said.
Nobuyuki sniffed Tetsuo and turned completely nauseous.
"Masyo, why don't you run Tetsuo a nice bath? I'm sure he could use one" he said.
"Actually I'm fine" said Tetsuo,
"Please I insist" said Nobuyuki.
"Do you want me to scrub his back too?" asked Masyo, running her fingertips up and down Tetsuo's shoulder. Tetsuo leaned away from Masyo, he wasn't used to this much affection, not even from Kaori.
"No, just the bath thank you" said Nobuyuki, quite aware of Masyo's flirting.
Tetsuo sat down in the hot bath, it was wonderful. Masyo picked his clothes up off the floor.
"Jacuzzi Tetsuo?" she said,
"No!" he shouted, "No Jacuzzi. You're not getting in this tub with me. Do you always come on this strong?"
"A whirlpool bath Tetsuo. You look like you need to relax" said Masyo flipping a switch causing a mass of bubbles to pour out the side of the bath.
"Hey, woah" said Tetsuo, pushing his hands against the bubbles like a little child. Masyo smiled and walked out of the bathroom. "Bubbles, this is so cool. Where I grew up, if we wanted a Jacuzzi like this we had to fart in the tub," he started to laugh.
After Tetsuo had finished in the bath and was fully dried and clothed, Masyo came in and sat next to him. Nobuyuki was busy in the kitchen.
"You got a girlfriend back on Earth?" she said, making her way closer, to him and placing her hand on his knee.
"Did have" he said quietly, "But I killed her" he strained to stop tears running down his face. He hated it when girls saw him cry, it made him feel less of a man.
"Oh you poor guy, you need to relax" she said slowly moved her hand up his leg closer to his groin. Tetsuo noticed what she was doing.
"What are you doing?" he asked astonished.
"I'm gonna give you a hand-job. That should relax you" she said seductively. Normally Tetsuo would have jumped at the chance to have a pretty girl do that to him, but he didn't feel right. He jumped up quickly.
"I'm going out for some fresh air" he said, walking out the door.
Tetsuo walked slowly around the town, his hands in his pockets. This place was worse than Neo-Tokyo. Crack heads, prostitutes, the scum of the Earth and they were all there for the same reason he was, except that not one of them was even half as powerful as he was. He sighed, with his destructive powers put out of action, he felt like he did when he was in Kaneda's gang – a no-body. He noticed a bar just in-front of him, he could use a drink, so he walked in. It was the pits, it made the Harukiya bar look like the White House. He walked to the bar and was just about to order when he glanced over to his left and saw the most beautiful girl he had ever seen in his life huddled over the bar, looking completely depressed. She had short brown hair, about the same length as his hair, beautiful eyes, she was wearing a skimpy red PVC vest top, a sleeveless denim jacket, a black leather skirt, black leather shoulder length gloves, stockings with suspenders and ankle length boots. She looked like a prostitute, but she was so beautiful. Tetsuo walked over to her.
"Hi, can I get you a drink?" he asked smiling at her. The girl looked at him and huffed.
"I don't think so junior" she said nonchalantly.
"I'm Tetsuo, I just got here" he said
"Congratulations" she said sarcastically.
"And you are?" he said hopefully.
"Out of your league!" she snapped, she picked up her bag and walked out the door.
"Jeez! What's her problem?" said Tetsuo watching her leave.
