After returning to Power Corps, HQ, Marc, and the others went to work compiling the footage from the fight with Abobo to Post on Metro tube. While the guys went to work, Marian and Kami were taken to Kami's apartment. While Billy carried Marian, Jimmy reluctantly held Kami along the way. As they made their way, they stopped a few times to take down a few gangs rioting in the streets. While Billy and Jimmy were in no shape to go another round with Abobo, they could still put a few gang members in their place. Leaving them tied up and out cold in the process, finally, the group made it to the roof of Kami's apartment. The outside resembled a two-floor motel along the street; the top had the added benefit of being a common area though no one but them was up there.
"Okay, thanks, Billy; hey Kami, are you ready to?" she asked as Billy let her down
Turning around, Marian saw that Jimmy was still holding Kami as the two just looked at each other. Blushing hard as Kami's glasses were fogged up, while Marian couldn't help but find this cute, Billy saw it as an opportunity to tease Jimmy.
"Are you two gonna kiss or what?"
Hearing this broke their trance as Jimmy sat Kami down, and the two looked away from each other much to Billy's amusement.
"Okay, look, you two obviously have some things to work out from earlier, so I suggest you do it without us watching," she said, taking Kami's keys to her apartment and Billy by the ear to drag him away down the stairs giving them their privacy.
"Okay, so where do we begin?" asked Kami
The Next Morning
As Kami woke up, she looked around her apartment; her apartment was essentially a sizable carpet-covered square. The upper left corner is an exception since her kitchen was there, and the tiled floor was exposed. Stepping over Marian, still asleep on her spare futon, Kami hurried to the bathroom on the far right, excited for the day.
"I better hurry,"
While small allowing one person, the bathroom was still big enough to house the essentials, including a tub. Stripping down, Kami couldn't help but jump for joy a little causing her boobs and butt to jiggle.
"I'm so excited; I can't believe he said yes,"
Last Night
"Okay, so where do we begin?" asked Kami
"look, I'm sorry for grabbing your chest,"
"It's not your fault. I shouldn't have moved in so close,"
Both let out a sigh of relief, feeling that they had at least eased the awkwardness between them.
"Hey, Jimmy,"
"yeah?"
"I was really impressed with the way you fought in the tournament and Abobo,"
"Thanks,"
"I was wondering if you could teach me?"
Jimmy was taken aback; Kami had just asked him to teach her how to fight something he was not expecting.
"you want me to teach you Sou-Setsu-Ken?
"Is that what your fighting style is called?"
"Well, I use northern style, and Billy uses southern,"
"Northern and Southern?"
"our ancestors created our fighting style; Northern focuses on strength and power moves, and southern is agility and flexibility,
"I see,"
"our grandfather mastered both styles making him a master; Billy and I have only learned one fighting style each, but we're training in the other type,"
"so, do you think you can teach me the basics of your style? I want to be more than just the girl in the chair,"
"I suppose I can teach you a few grapples and chokehold moves,"
"Really? Oh, thank you,"
Kami was so happy that Jimmy was willing to teach her that she hugged him; despite the damage he was still recovering from, the feeling of her chest against him felt good, really good.
"Thank you, and I Promise you won't regret this," she said very excitedly.
After her shower was done, though still a little wet, she hurried to her drawers, putting on her spandex sports underwear and a blue tracksuit she had. Though the suit was tight on her, it was the only sports-related wear she had, and she didn't care. Stepping outside, she was greeted by the sight of the sunrise; at this time, the gangs retreated for the day, making it safe to be out. As Kami prepared to leave, the door next to her opened up, much to her dismay. Stepping out was a female tenant; this one was slightly older, with Jet black hair and a slim but curvy figure, and dressed in the latest fashion. This person is Mandy, a stuck-up tenant who often bullies Kami.
"oh, good fatty, you're here. I was just going to leave this in front of your door, but since you're here, you can toss this out for me," Mandy said, holding a bag of garbage
"my name is not fatty and that's your garbage; you throw it out,"
"now, now you wouldn't want me to tell my brothers you're disrespecting me."
Mandy often uses her older brothers in a gang to intimidate others like Kami to do things for her out of fear of suffering her older brothers' wrath. Kami gave her a death-stare, but Mandy was not intimidated; instead, she dropped the bag at Kami's feet before walking off saying.
"thought so fatty know your place," she said, laughing in her nasal voice
"Soon, you're gonna learn yours',"
Taking the bag, Kami headed downstairs; turning the corner, she walked up a small alleyway that led to the building's back. The back had a vacant lot that could be seen from her balcony in her apartment. Unfortunately, the lot was filled with garbage and items thrown away; finding a trash can, tossing out the trash and was about to leave, she was greeted by another person. This person was an elderly woman in her late 60s; she had short red hair and was a little chubby, standing a little shorter in height than Kami.
"That bitch got you again?" she asked in a thick Irish accent
"Yeah, Tommy,"
Tommy Cotter is the owner /superintendent of Kami's building and her guardian, having taken her in when she was young after her parents disappeared. Another victim of Mandy's bullying, Mandy knows Tommy fears something happening to her building, one of the few things her late husband left her.
"If I still had my husband, that brat would be calling me ma'am,"
"she'll get hers soon,"
"by the way, what are you doing up so early?" asked Tommy
"oh, a friend is going to teach me self-defense and you?"
"well, good for you, as for me, that bastard in A9 skipped out on paying his back rent; he must have slipped out during the gang riots last night,"
"that's terrible,"
"Yeah, well, now I've got to put that apartment up for rent fast to get a new tenant. I can barely afford to maintain this place," Tommy Lamented. "Sanitation won't help clean this lot and Guisman's waste disposal company is too expensive,"
I might be able to solve your renter's problem,"
"How so?"
"I'll have to tell you later; I'm almost late!"
Kami raced off to meet Jimmy; the trip would have been shorter by bus, but she decided to get a little exercise by jogging. As Kami ran, she found herself in an embarrassing situation as she had tripped and almost fell but saved herself; however, her chest forced the top half of her tracksuit to unzip, exposing her sports bra-covered breasts.
"ahh! Not again!" She yelped.
At first, Kami wanted to stop and fix her top but then decided not to waste time and continued on. Adding to her embarrassment, her chest was now freely bouncing as she ran; the only saving grace was that no one else was out there to see, but she knew it was a matter of time before she was caught if she wasn't careful.
"Why do these things keep embarrassing me?" she thought, folding her arms around her chest.
To Kami, her chest was the source of unwanted attention, mostly her school life. She didn't have any female friends outside of Marian because most hated that her chest was more significant than theirs. The boys were worse, always making perverted remarks about her chest, her plump buttock, curvy figure, or being very clumsy. Making her self-conscious about herself. School life would have been much worse if it wasn't for her friends in the power corps, keeping them in check, but she knew she couldn't rely on them forever.
"I better hurry,"
After 1 hour and 30 min of jogging, Kami made it to the restaurant. To her joy, Jimmy was standing outside, waiting for her in an A-shirt and sweatpants.
"oh hey, Jimmy, sorry if I'm late,"
Jimmy didn't respond; instead turned his head, blushing, confusing Kami until she looked down. Realizing her sports bra was still exposed, Kami's face was now red too and her glasses steamed as she quickly fixed her top.
"I'm so sorry," she said forcing her top closed
"it's fine," he replied as he led her into the restaurant
"he probably thinks I'm some kind of perv," she said to herself, not knowing that Jimmy heard her.
Leading her through the secret passageway, the two began making their way to the dojo. Kami wanted to get their minds off of their incident, so she decided to ask a question.
"I noticed that Billy isn't here,"
"he left before you came, said he was going to help Marian with something,"
"oh, then he must be on his way to my apartment,"
"yeah,"
"So you think it's best to teach me down here?"
"The gangs may not be active now, but I think it safer training in the garden,"
"Okay,"
Led back into the garden, Jimmy took off his shirt, revealing his naked upper body; Kami was in awe at Jimmy's well-built body despite the few scars he had.
Wow, were all those from Abobo?"
"Naw, these are from years of training,"
Kami couldn't help but feel attracted to Jimmy in that instant; he reminded her of all the hot guys from all the dating sims and otome that she likes to play in her spare time.
"I can put my shirt back on if it distracts you,"
"no, no, I'm fine,"
"Okay, then we should start with some warm-up,"
"Okay, what's first?"
"I need to test your focus and endurance, so I'm going to have you do a few exercises,"
"sure,"
Jimmy tried to show her beginner tai chi; however, Kami was still too unfocused to do it properly due to not watching her footing and tripping a few times. Jimmy then had Kami start her exercises; unfortunately, her attempts were impeded by her constantly tripping over her feet and falling forward.
Eventually, Jimmy suggested taking a break as the two sat under the tree opposite each other.
"I'm sorry for wasting your time, Jimmy,"
"you didn't; today was for me to see how I can teach you,"
"I'm unteachable; I wanted to be better, but all I did was make myself look like something out of an ecchi anime,"
"you're not unteachable, but I do see what one of your problems is your footing"
"My footing?"
"you tend to not watch your feet and that causes you to trip and fall a lot." he informed. "Both styles require proper footwork so you need to work on not tripping over yourself."
"you're right; but it's hard to watch my feet, when I can't see them."
"That leads me to my next observation."
"Huh?"
"I noticed when you trip you tend to allow yourself to be pulled down by your chest."
"My breasts are heavy whenever I trip, they bring me down all the way." She revealed. "They're always causing me grief ever since they started growing in freshman year… they're the reason why I didn't have friends until I joined the Power Corps.
"Speaking of which, how did you join?"
"it was about a year ago, something was stolen from me and I went to get it back,"
"What did they take?"
"It was my mother's necklace,"
"mother's necklace?"
"it was a silver necklace with a sapphire stone that had a circular cut and a silver frame,"
"It was all I had left of my family after they disappeared and the owner of my building took me in when I was little,"
"how'd they get it?"
"It was taken from my locker; when I went to get it after making a fool of myself in gym class, it was gone,"
"do you know who did it?"
"some of the girls in my school, they've hated me throughout high school because I developed early and to them, I was stealing all the boys' attention, but the only reason they showed any interest in me was the same reason the girls in my school hated me except for Marian, she was the only one who didn't hate me,"
"Then what?"
"I found a note to where they hid it the next day, in Metro park."
"I see,"
"despite Marian telling me not to, I went to find it despite knowing that was goblin territory,"
"goblin territory?"
"The goblins are one of the lesser gangs that run amok at night; they took over Metro park, even built a wall around the whole park; they have a reputation of sexually assaulting women,"
"The police let this happen?"
"it's all part of the deal with the police; they get to do whatever from sunset to sunrise,"
"I'll be paying those bastards a visit later," thought Jimmy. "Go on," he said.
"I knew it was dangerous, but I wanted it back," she explained, "I spent hours looking for it by the time I realized the time it was already dark; I tried to get out as fast as I could, but I was cornered by the goblins and their leader who was wearing my necklace,"
"damn," he thought
"before they could do anything, Marian came out of nowhere swinging a bat, taking out as many as she could before we escaped to safety; after that, she told me how she was the leader of the power corps and offered me a chance to join and I accepted,"
"so that's how you joined,"
"Yeah, but I'm still dead weight. I'm no use to anyone outside of a computer,"
"no, you're not; you helped make last night a success, and you may not be a fighter, yet, but I promise you will be,"
"thank you, Jimmy,"
"as for those losers, you shouldn't let them make you feel ashamed of your body because you have nothing to be ashamed of,"
Jimmy quickly realized what he said and fearing he might have said the wrong thing; Jimmy tried to think of something else to say, but Kami came from around the side to ask him.
"Do you mean that?"
"well yes I, I didn't mean like I'm some kind of perv," stammered Jimmy as his whole upper body turned red,
Kami noticed Jimmy's reaction to her question; most boys see her as some sex object; However, Jimmy was different; his reaction was something different. He was flustered; this is something Kami had never seen before; it was new and flattering to her. Before kami could ask him another question, a gurgling sound came from her belly, signaling that she was hungry.
"I take it you didn't eat before you came,"
"I was so excited I forgot,"
Jimmy decided to do something about it, sighing as he grabbed his shirt and began leaving.
"Jimmy?"
"continue working on your footing; I'm going to go and get something to eat for us,"
"wait, the stores are all still closed,"
"no problem, I'll visit the local food markets and make something from scratch,"
"You can cook?"
"someone's gotta be the chef,"
After changing, Jimmy headed out, making his way out through the shopping center; Jimmy noticed how a ghost town the center was.
"man, it's already 6:30 and this place is still on lockdown,"
Jimmy figured they wanted to wait until Everything was completely safe. Seeing the food market was still closed, too, he saw a sign that said the store would open at 8:00.
"Okay, that means I got time to make a detour," he thought with a grin
Leaving the center and heading to a safe area on top of a nearby roof, Jimmy touched his belt buckle, activating his relic.
"Requip!"
In a flash, Jimmy was back in his costume, fully repaired despite the damage it took during the fight with Abobo. Thanks to it being made from a mystic self-repairing fabric that Marian used when she made it.
"you just gotta love magic,"
Taking off with great speed toward the park, despite the city being different from when he left, he still knew where to find the park. The park was at the center of Metro city; it was once the centerpiece of the whole city. Despite being young when he visited the Park, Jimmy could still remember playing with Billy and Marian.
"Well, I'm here and holy crap, what the hell happened here!?"
The park was surrounded by a large wall topped off with barbed wire; Jimmy saw how far the goblins controlled the park.
"maybe I should have brought billy in on this; no, I'm good,"
Leaping over the wall, Jimmy got a full view of the park's inside; it was a horror show.
"This place looks like a fucking disaster area," he thought. "how the hell this damn city allowed this to happen!"
Walking along the broken trail, Jimmy started reminiscing on how he remembered the park and hoped to attract the goblins' attention. Going further, Jimmy saw more of the park's fall from grace.
"This place is sad,"
As he walked, Jimmy noticed that he was now being followed, precisely what he wanted.
"Okay, I'll lead them to an open area; the playground isn't far from here if I remember correctly,"
Jimmy kept moving until he reached the playground; the whole area was rusted and falling apart, but he could still find the most open space in the park. As Jimmy leaned against the rusted Jungle gym, he started hearing more sounds.
"so they're making their move, about time,"
Slowly figures started emerging from the bushes advancing on Jimmy; getting a better look at them, he saw how they all made themselves look like actual goblins. They were all covered in green body paint, their heads shaved, they also wore prosthetic ears, noses and false teeth to help them look more goblin-like.
"wow, taking this whole goblin thing a little too far, fellas,"`
"you dare mock us when we have you outnumbered," said one goblin
"Hey, this guy looks familiar," said another
"yeah, from that video, we saw he was one of the guys who beat Abobo,"
"guess the others uploaded the video,"
Suddenly all the goblins took a step back out of fear upon recognizing Jimmy; this caused him to smirk as he stepped forward.
"Hey, wait, there's 50 of us here; we can take this guy if we rush him,"
"sure you rape happy bastards want to take a chance like that," said Jimmy cracking his knuckles
As Jimmy and the goblins surrounding him prepared for a fight, the sound of another person coming with some goblins opened a path to let him through to greet Jimmy; the man was large and obese to Jimmy; he looked like an overgrown pig. Jimmy couldn't tell if the guy was wearing prosthetics like the others or his natural face; either way, he was disturbing.
"damn, this guy looks more like a moblin than a goblin," thought Jimmy
Based on his appearance, Jimmy could tell that thing was the goblins' leader and despite the fat fold of his neck, he could see a necklace around his neck, Kami's necklace.
"well…well, what brings one of the double dragons to my turf?"
"retribution, Fatboy," said Jimmy as he smiled and he cracked his knuckles.
Upon speaking that word, one of the goblins charged Jimmy, knife in hand; the goblin tried to stab him. However, Jimmy simply sidestepped him before tripping him and sending him to the ground.
"you son of a!" yelled the goblin before he was pinned down by Jimmy's foot
"What's wrong, asshole? I thought you rape happy fuckers were challenging, not fun being the helpless one, is it?
Before the goblin could say anything else, Jimmy kicked him in the face, knocking him out before throwing him back to his boss.
"So, who's next?"
"What are you fools standing around for? There's more of us than him; KILL HIM!" yelled the Moblin
Jimmy quickly went to work, taking out the goblins one by one; he laid them out, knocking off prosthetics in the process until in a matter of moments none were standing. The rest of the goblins charged Jimmy all at once, weapons flailing as they ran toward him. They were all on the ground, out cold or moaning in pain.
"well, that was disappointing; I guess you losers are only tough when you're picking on women, now on to your fat-ass,"
Jimmy looked up to deal with the boss now and saw that he had run off. Much to his annoyance.
"fine, Fat boy, I could use a jog before breakfast,"
Running as fast as he could, the goblin boss tried his hardest to get away, consumed by fear as he ran.
"my men, all of them beaten so quickly. What the hell is that guy?"
Suddenly Jimmy dropped in front of the boss knocking him on his ass.
"your worst nightmare, you fat fuck,"
Crawling backward, the boss tried to escape but ended up backing into a tree, now trapped as he looked up at an angry Jimmy.
"what should I do with your fat ass,"
"no, please, spare me. I'll get you any woman you want,"
"you just made a painful mistake,"
"You fool! My men and I are protected by the shadows, and you broke the truce; when the shadow master learns of this, he will rally the other gangs, and we will raze this city to the ground. No one will be safe night or day,"
"Well, when you cry to him, tell him this!" said Jimmy as he slammed his fist into him.
Later
After returning to the dojo, Jimmy returned to the garden after preparing the meals for him and Kami. Upon entering, he saw that Kami was still practicing the sets he taught her, impressing him.
"hey, Kami, I'm back, and I see you've gotten better at your sets,"
"Yeah, I've worked nonstop, and I feel I got better at it,"
"so, any reason you're in your underwear,"
Jimmy had noticed that Kami was just in her underwear; her tracksuit was left on the side.
"Sorry about that; after you left, the zipper to the top broke, so I took it off and continued my sets but then my pants split," she explained. "I guess I should have worn something better than a tracksuit from freshmen year," she joked
Jimmy quickly noticed the change in Kami. Had this been a few hours ago, she would have been consumed by her embarrassment. Now she seemed barely fazed and actually joked about it.
"you seem a little different,"
"I thought about what you said and what Marian's been saying to me for years; I'm no longer gonna let anyone make me feel bad about myself again,"
"Good to hear,"
"Besides, like you said, I have nothing to be ashamed of," she said, sounding almost flirtatious.
Jimmy blushed but quickly tried to play it off as he handed Kami one of the bowls.
"ramen?"
"one of my specialties,"
As Jimmy sat down under the tree and started eating, to his surprise, Kami sat by him before taking a bite of her meal.
"wow, this is delicious," said a blissfully happy Kami
"Thanks,"
"where did you learn to cook,"
"Watching my mom cook,"
"really?"
"Everything I know about cooking I learned from watching her and her cookbook,"
"How long have you been cooking?" she asked
"Since I was 6 years old, at first I cooked from memory, but as I got older, I started trying out recipes in my mom's cookbook,"
"Why so young?"
"After 2 years eating my grandfather's cooking, it was learning to cook or go crazy eating salamander and dung-beetle stew."
Kami laughed a little at his statement before finishing the last of her meal; Jimmy was just about done too when he heard someone coming.
"James, my cooking is an acquired taste."
Jimmy saw Sensei walking towards him; instinctively, Jimmy got to his feet to greet grandfather while Kami hid behind him. As Jimmy got close, he was surprised as he was slapped over the head with a two-fingered strike.
"ow! What the heck was that for?"
"I've warned you before about insulting my cooking; you seem to forget I taught your mother how to cook,"
"that's debatable," he mumbled
"What was that?"
"nothing,"
"good, now onto more pressing matters, like your friend hiding behind you,"
Peeking out a little, Kami got her first glimpse at Sensei. Seeing that he was just as Marian had described him.
"hell-hello, sir. I am Kami Byte,"
"I assume you're a friend of Marian and a member of the power corps.?"
"yes, sir,"
"and is there a reason you are standing behind my grandson in your underwear,"
Kami's face turned red in shock; Marian had told her that Sensei was blind, so how could he know that? This caused her to hide harder behind Jimmy, pressing her chest against his back.
"How did you know? I thought you were,"
"blind, yes, child I am; however, while I no longer see as you do, I have developed other ways of seeing, such as feeling the vibrations all around me, which allows me to know where everything, including your clothes, discarded over there," replied Sensei pointing to Kami's ruined tracksuit
"I can explain," said Kami
"I'm listening,"
"I asked Jimmy to teach me self-defense, but my clothes ripped in the process, so I decided to continue without it,"
Sensei then turns his attention to Jimmy showing a bit of surprise, which confuses Jimmy.
"you actually agreed to teach someone martial arts?"
"What's so shocking about that?"
"that you said for years how the thought of teaching makes you uncomfortable,"
"look, I agreed to show her a few moves no big deal,"
"well, be that as it may, she won't learn anything dressed like that unless you enjoy seeing her like that?"
It's not like that!"
"fair, continue teaching her," he said, walking off
"yes, sensei,"
"One more thing, come speak to me at noon. I have a task for you and your brother tonight,"
"yes, sensei,"
With Sensei gone, Jimmy turned his attention back to Kami, who was now more eager to learn.
"I think it's time to show you a few moves,"
"really? Yay!"
"But first, let me see about getting something for you to wear," he said, turning to leave
As Jimmy left, something unknowingly dropped out of his pocket; Kami noticed this and tried to tell Jimmy, but he was already gone.
"I'll give it to him … when … he … comes …" she said, reaching for the item
Moments later, Jimmy returned holding a blue training uniform as he walked back to Kami, who had her back turned to him.
"hey Kami, I'm back; listen, I took one of Billy's extra training uniforms, don't worry about the size; once you put it on, it should conform to your size. Kami?
Slowly turning around, Kami revealed that she had been crying, not out of sadness but joy. At first confused, Jimmy then noticed that Kami was wearing her necklace, realizing that it had fallen out of his pocket, and she found it.
"Jimmy, my necklace, you got it back?"
"um, yeah,"
"how?"
"well, after you told me about your necklace and I found out the store was still closed, I decided to pay those bastards an early visit; it turns out their boss was still wearing your necklace, so I took it while sending him a message,"
"Jimmy, I don't know what to say,"
"don't worry about it; I know what it's like to cherish something. I'm just glad I could get it back for you,"
"thank you,"
"no problem, now on to your lessons,"
"Yeah, my lessons,"
Giving Kami the uniform, accurate to his words, seconds after putting the uniform on, it conformed to her body and shape.
"how do I look?"
"you look like you're ready to start learning,"
Jimmy showed Kami a few moves and countermoves for the next few hours. Though Kami had a hard time at first, she eventually started to pick up on the movements and perform these moves, even practicing these moves on Jimmy. By noon Kami had learned 3 self-defense moves; while she still had a long way to go, Jimmy felt she could incapacitate a low-level thug.
"not bad, few bumps along the way, but you did well for your first lesson,"
"thank you,"
"we'll start your next lesson next Sunday,"
"really?"
"C'mon, let's see what sensei needs,"
The two made their way to Sensei, sitting down and meditating as Jimmy and Kami approached him.
"Are your lessons done for the day?"
"yes, Sensei,"
"very well, now onto the task tonight,"
"yes,"
"I need you and your brother to go to Guisman's drayage port tonight,"
"what for?"
"the orders I made for the material to remodel the upstairs are coming tonight, and I want you two to confirm everything is there,"
"oh right, it's Sunday; Guisman's shipping company gets their goods Sunday night and processes them so that they're ready to be delivered Monday morning,"
"exactly,"
"with all due respect, sir, but considering your powers, wouldn't you have a better way to bring in your supplies without Guisman?" asked Kami
"at least a dozen, but if we were to utilize them, people, including him, would start asking questions." Informed Sensei,
"I see,"
"well, we better find Billy,"
The two were about to leave when Sensei stopped them with his staff, confusing Kami.
"what's wrong, sir?"
"I don't think it wise for you to be in public wearing one of our training uniforms with our crest on the back,"
"he's right; you should change,"
"but my clothes are ruined,"
"James, now would be an excellent time for you to get in some practice,"
"right, Kami, hand me your tracksuit," said Jimmy summoning a large crystal bowl and placing it on the floor
Following Jimmy's orders, Kami handed her suit to Jimmy before backing away; folding it up. Jimmy put it in the bowl before summoning a vial of powder and pouring it onto the tracksuit while chanting as he stepped back.
"Yu Mo Gui Gwai Fai Di Zao," chanted Jimmy.
"wow, what happens next?"
"see for yourself," informed Sensei
The inside of the bowl turned glowing red along with Jimmy's hands as he repeated his chant several times until the glowing in the bowl stopped. Jimmy's hands also stopped glowing, signaling that he was finished with whatever he was doing.
"there done,"
"Excellent work; you can put it on now,"
"Put what on?"
"see for yourself,"
Walking over, Kami reached down into the sand, but instead of pulling out her tracksuit, she pulled out a new dress, to her surprise.
"a dress?"
"It's called a cheongsam; sorry if the skirt is a little short; the chi spell I used only breaks down materials like your tracksuit and then rebuilds it into a new form."
"You can cast spells?" asked a fascinated Kami
"if we want, but to be honest, it takes time, preparation, and focus on getting it right, something hard to do in the middle of a fight. Explained Jimmy
"I'd like to learn more,"
"another time, now you must inform William,"
"well, I know he's with Marian,"
"he must be at Marian's workshop,"
"workshop?"
"there's a shed in the backyard of Marian's house; she likes to build gadgets to help the corps; I can take you there,"
"Okay, Sensei, we're leaving,"
"one final thing, once you and your brother are done, return to the dojo; there is much we need to discuss,"
"yes, Sensei,"
Kami quickly changed into her new outfit before leaving with Jimmy, who had also changed, as they walked out of the secret entrance into the kitchen. Kami couldn't help but think about what Jimmy had done for her. He had helped boost her confidence and taught her how to defend herself, but the most remarkable thing he's done for her; he returned her necklace to her. The moment she laid her eyes on her long-lost necklace, it was as if a piece of her was brought back thanks to him.
"Okay, so I'll keep your uniform in the dojo,"
"Jimmy,"
"yeah?"
"I can't thank you enough for bringing back my necklace, but I think I know a way to,"
"you don't have to,"
"I want to,"
"Okay,"
"thank you, now close your eyes,"
Jimmy followed her instructions, seeing no harm in her request; Kami readied herself before moving in. Kami delivered a thank you by kissing Jimmy with a soft breath. Jimmy's eyes flew open with the realization of what was happening. Despite the millions of thoughts running in his head, he closed his eyes and allowed her to continue. The feeling of Kami's lip felt warm to Jimmy; it was different than their accidental kiss, he could tell as he made up his mind to just enjoy it. Suddenly Kami let out a small gasp before she wrapped her arms around Jimmy's neck; as she pressed her body harder to Jimmy's, she started to let out soft moans. Jimmy then felt something that wasn't Kami's lips pressing against his lips, something pushing through his lips into his mouth in invading it; in a second, he realized what it was, much to his shock.
"Is that her tongue!?"
Jimmy's mind said he should stop what was happening, but his body wouldn't listen; instead, he began to kiss back just as aggressively. Their kiss/make-out lasted for a few more seconds before their lips parted.
"Wow, that's some thank you," said Jimmy
"you deserve it,"
"We should get going,"
"Okay, but,"
"but what?"
"you're going to have to let go of my butt," teased Kami
To Jimmy's shock, she was right; his hands squeezed Kami's plump buttocks the whole time.
"Pretty bold of you to grab me there."
"I'm sorry I didn't realize what I did; I didn't mean to upset you," panicked Jimmy, backing away
"I never said I was upset," said Kami. Before she stepped forward again and began petting his cheek.
Confused at first, Jimmy watched Kami grab the buttons to her dress, undoing them before opening up her, exposing her breasts to Jimmy.
"What are you doing? And where's your bra?" said a surprised Jimmy looking away.
"I left my underwear with my uniform, and you don't have to be shy. I don't mind if you see my chest, Jimmy… do you want to touch them?" she asked, perking out her chest.
Before he could process what was happening, she took Jimmy's hands, placing them on her breasts to emphasize what she meant, much to his shock. Jimmy was in shock; this was the first time seeing a woman's bare chest, let alone touching it. Jimmy knew this was wrong, and part of him wanted to let go but could help but admire the softness and bounciness of her boobs. On the other hand, though internally embarrassed, Kami also felt a mixture of excitement and warmth as she felt her nipples hardening under Jimmy's palms.
"Do you like my breasts, Jimmy?" she asked, removing her hands and allowing him to fondle her by himself."
"Why are you letting me do this?"
"after you grabbed my butt, it reminded me of a similar event in my favorite dating sim, and I realized that that I wanted to do more to thank you because you deserve more than a kiss,"
"This feels wrong. I shouldn't be doing this,"
"I don't mind as long as it's you. To be honest, I didn't mind the first time you touched my breasts, even if you were a little rough."
"Why me?" he replied,
"Because I think I've fallen for you,"
"say what?"
"because in the short time we've met, you've already done so much for me, and well,"
"Well, what?"
"Well, I like it when you touch me and look at me; I don't feel embarrassed… not anymore, I feel warm," "I know it's weird, maybe even crazy, to tell a guy you just met you love him, but it's how I feel,"
"I don't know what to say,"
"you don't have to say anything; I can tell that this is overwhelming, but eventually, I hope you'll feel for me the same way I feel for you now; let's hurry up and find Marian and Billy,"
Taking Jimmy's hands off her boobs and fixing her dress, Kami led him out of the restaurant, and the two made their way. The trip was awkward due to Kami shooting Jimmy several smiles and flirtatious looks. At the same time, he kept averting his eyes and continued blushing. Eventually, they made it to the suburbs and stood in front of Marian's house.
"so, this is the suburbs, huh? It seems peaceful,"
"The gangs don't usually venture out here,"
"right, Billy told me that,"
Suddenly they both heard a large explosion coming from behind the house; in an instant, Jimmy leaped into the air, landing on the roof before dropping down into the backyard. Simultaneously, Kami came running from around the house. In front of them was a large shed filled with smoke. Suddenly the doors flew open to let the smoke out; amidst the smoke, two figures came rushing out, coughing like crazy as the smoke cleared.
"told you that smoke bomb was too strong." Said one voice
"hey, give me a break; I'm trying my best with what I got," said another voice
"Billy, Marian?" said both Jimmy and Kami
As the dust cleared, the two figures revealed were Billy and Marian, covered in dust from an experiment that went wrong.
"oh, hey Jimmy, what have you been up to?"
"Me? What the hell have you been doing?"
