Chapter 2
The Celestial Fighter, Kanzaburo!
Yoshinobu paused to catch his breath. He had been through more than a human should go through in one day, but he managed with the help of the dragon that just appeared.
The one in the amethyst covering said to Yoshinobu, "Great! You actually killed Benjiro. He longed to die. He's very proud of you wherever he is now."
Yoshinobu answered, "Wait, Benjiro? That guy was not Benjiro! He had a completely different personality and vocabulary."
The amethyst robe said, "But who would know Benjiro better than I, Yoshinobu-kun?"
Yet again, he was being called Yoshinobu-kun. Why was he being entitled that, principally by complete foreigners.
"The body has three spirits each, a celestial spirit, a secular spirit, and a demonic spirit. Considering the preceding environment, Earth, celestial and demonic spirits cannot easily take over the person's body. I helped free his celestial spirit that longed to depart this life, and you bequeathed him with it."
Yoshinobu answered, "But he was trying to kill me wasn't he?"
The stranger seemed to be annoyed, publicized by his stance. "Yoshinobu-kun, he could've easily shattered your neck the precise instant he put his foot on it. Rather, he waited to see what corollary would transpire. He enthusiastically offered his life so that Heaven could be ruled by Jin Goddramon, one of the previous sovereigns who had died. In fact, you have a fragment of the soul of one of those sovereigns, Seiryu Qinglongmon. He dwells within you, and he comes out when a precise action is elicited. I do not grasp what that action is. I've come to conclude that it is either when you are in danger or when you are exceedingly livid."
He stared at the ground for a few seconds and then looked up at Yoshinobu again.
"I regret that I must do this, but..." he immediately disappeared. Yoshinobu instantaneously felt blood rolling down his cheeks. It seemed that the peculiar man had slashed his cheek with a blade of some kind. Yoshinobu looked behind him and saw nothing. He turned his head again to the veiled men. He was once again down there. It was very obvious that he was fast. Yoshinobu then felt pain caressing his entire body. Who could be so prodigious enough to slash his check before Yoshinobu discerned it?
Yoshinobu fell on one knee and said to the man, "You must be Kanzaburo, Benjiro's master!"
The man just smiled in the corner of his face. "I consider him a comrade. All friends aid each other. He desired death and I brought him death. I desired to see how your sol works and he tried his hardest to do that. It seemed to fit together don't you think? Well, yes, I am Kanzaburo; Akamatsu Kanzaburo to be precise."
Yoshinobu was flabbergasted that he would have a family name.
Yoshinobu immediately asked, "Tell me. Are you human? Or are you a celestial being?"
"I am a celestial organism who had reminisced his human name. After all, everyone here..."
He pointed to his comrades that were also sporting cloaks.
"...used to be secular organisms once. Now we are more than the middling species. Because of lack of time, I must activate your sol. You can only ask one more question. Yes, even Heaven needs someone like me around to get things done."
Yoshinobu thought for a moment and then asked, "Why are you so friendly around me yet you are going to torture me?"
Kanzaburo answered, "I wish to be your ally if that would be possible. However, my first precedence is to get my superlative acquaintance reawakened from the dead. After you get tortured, I will have to pay you back somehow..."
Yoshinobu instantly felt another stream of blood streaming down his cheek. He felt very weak and could not even stand up. Soon, Yoshinobu felt another sharp pain before he blacked out.
The cloaked man in red said to Kanzaburo, "Well, we must've killed him before he could summon Kaki, the First Sol of Seiryu.
Kanzaburo turned his head to the man in a blue cloak. "You, Chikao, will be next. Make sure to heal his body, but do not rouse him. The poor kid's been through enough already. Stay here, and once he has awaken, immediately enter combat with him. I've got business with Shinobu to take care of." Kanzaburo, the green cloak, and the red cloak seemed to materialize into thin air. The blue cloak Chikao, put his hands on Yoshinobu. Almost instantly, the blood that had once been all over his face, seemed to cease and disappear.
Chikao serenely waited for Yoshinobu to wake up.
Meanwhile, Kanzaburo and his comrades were heading towards a colossal structure that looked about as high as a smaller sky scraper. Kanzaburo pulled out a strip of paper with a foreign letter written on it. He held it up to the sky and instantaneously, they appeared on top of that same building. It seemed to be completely deserted. However, this was the same realm Benjiro had fought him in, so it was not occupied by any form of intellectual organisms. Kanzaburo looked up to see what looked like a schoolgirl that looked like a brunnette with orange highlights and red eyes. This was the same girl that Yoshinobu passed by on his way to fight Benjiro. She came down from the sky and landed on the building.
"Inaguchi Shinobu, I see you have problem with how I treated Yoshinobu back there," Kanzaburo said in a relaxed voice. "I'm tremendously remorseful. I assume you came to castigate me?"
She gave an angry grin and said to him, "I knew he could take on Benjiro, but allowing him to go up against you alone was the prevalent faux pas. I certainly cannot allow you to bring this any further!"
"Don't worry, Shinobu-kun, I'll give him porno magazines when he's done with this. Until then, we mustn't bitch about these things. Jin Goddramon means a lot to me." he answered.
"Well, you sure know how to make people suffer for your bidding!" Shinobu answered while promptly clouting him in the abdomen. However, Kanzaburo did not budge a single millimeter.
"Shinobu, you've lost your touch. This place is at least 50 miles from Yoshinobu. It wouldn't hurt to try at least."
Shinobu generated a ball of fire on one of her shoulders. She pointed to Kanzaburo, and immediately, the fireball went toward Kanzaburo. However, Kanzaburo did not brace for it, but pulled out a sword and held it behind him. The fireball passed through Kanzaburo. Conversely, Kanzaburo felt heat behind him which was where the real fireball was. The one he saw was a sheer illusion. Behind him, Kanzaburo could feel traces of heat so he placed his rapier behind himself. This blocked him from the real fireball.
"Cheap illusionary trick, Shinobu. Once again, I must mention that you are losing your touch," Kanzaburo replied.
A bunch of rocks fell down from the sky. They seemed to combine into a sword larger than an adult's body.
Shinobu glared at him, "No not you! Don't tell me Jin Goddramon gave you such a destructive object! It's the Ichiken!"
Kanzaburo put his hand on the sword's handle. He was somehow able to swing it like a lighter sword. He swung it at her with force, making most of her face bleed. She was able to heal herself before he tried to swing it again. When Kanzaburo was about to strike her a second time, she made a barrier around herself. When Ichiken impacted with the barrier, a chunk of it broke off.
"Well, Kanzaburo, you are strong and swift with Ichiken, but once again I have the ascendancy. This barrier is literally unbreakable and there's nothing you can do about it!" she replied.
"Fool! A barrier can protect what is outside, but you are vulnerable to what is inside the barrier. Therefore..." he said as he pried a piece of ground from under Shinobu's feet. He tossed the loose ground into the air. Since the barrier only covered from her head to her feet, Kanzaburo tossed Ichiken underneath the barrier.
When Ichiken collided with Shinobu, she began to bleed a lot. He barrier disappeared. She couldn't heal herself either. The piece of loose ground Shinobu was standing on fell to the ground along with Ichiken.
Kanzaburo suddenly had a large glare that was a black storm in his eyes. He clouted the defenseless girl repeatedly. His eyes became a blameless green again. He began to cry.
"I was going to murder you. I was..." he said as he pointed his finger at Shinobu. He was shaking. After all, he was not a executioner.
Shinobu got up and garroted Kanzaburo and cuffed him many times.
"What the hell is with you? You hold leniency on no one. Your kind warrants to give up the ghost!"
The concealed bystanders instantaneously attacked Shinobu before she could do more impairment to him. The red cloak shot a bunch of fiery seeds at Shinobu while the green cloak threw a boomerang that looked analogous to a bull's horn. Upon impact, Shinobu lost consciousness and fell to the ground.
Kanzaburo slothfully got up. "I hope she's not dead," he said.
He picked up the broken Ichiken and pulled off the blade. Underneath it was a smaller, curved blade. Near the handle was a gage with the number 01 on it.
Kanzaburo merely answered, "01, the default number. Well, at least it isn't anything else."

The Celestial Fighter, Kanzaburo!
