11. Hinata's Problem
"Okay, Hinata, I know that this conversation should have happened when I first met you back in Tokyo, but tell me. How are things at Taiyo High?"
Hinata put down the cheeseburger that she had already half eaten and replied, "Ever since we stopped Hyo and Justice High burned to the ground, everything has been really peaceful. The schools went back to where they were before and Batsu, Kyosuke, and I were promoted to the third grade."
Nijel gave a look of confusion. "The third grade? Uh. aren't you way too old to be there?"
Hinata smiled. "The way Japanese schools operate is very different from America. The third grade in Japan high schools is like being a junior in American high schools."
"Oh."
Darrell treated everyone to lunch at a nearby McDonald's. Since he was pretty embarrassed by seeing the twins completely naked (save for the towels), he took the liberty of doing whatever they asked for the rest of the day. including paying for their massive order.
{I don't believe this, Darrell thought to himself. Two Big Macs, two super- sized fries, 40 nuggets, two large sodas, and mozzarella sticks. That alone cost me over $40. and I had to order my own food! At least I have a job. or rather "had" a job.}
"So. where is Hyo Imawano now?" Darrell asked curiously.
Hinata stopped eating and stared into Darrell's eyes.
"He's dead."
There was a long silence surrounding the table. No one ate anything else until Darrell said, "I take it that Kyosuke didn't handle it very well, did he?"
Hinata shook her head. "Kyosuke took a leave of absence from school for three weeks. Once we found out that he was participating in the Mark of the Millennium tournament, Batsu, Sakura, and I followed him."
"Hmm. Interesting therapy. I really don't want to know how well he did."
Darrell turned his attention to the Sakura twins, who were gouging their food down. {I never seen them eat like that.} he thought, sweatdropping again.
"Are you two enjoying yourselves?" he asked.
Sakura S. swallowed whatever she had in her mouth and nodded before returning to her buffet.
{Man! They're worse than Nijel.}
Even Nijel had to stop and stare at the rate the two were engulfing their food. Darrell shook his head and continued his conversation with Hinata.
"So Hinata. How about your family? Were they. concerned about our trip like our parents?"
Hinata looked up again, giving Darrell a skeptical look. "I'm surprised that you would spark a conversation with me all of a sudden."
Darrell raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean by that?"
"I'm saying that you have been concerned about Sakura K. a lot."
Darrell grabbed his soda, took a sip, then said, "Like you weren't? Hinata- "
"What?"
"You were never the type to get jealous. I have noticed that you haven't been very energetic lately."
"What do you mean 'not energetic'?"
"I'm saying that you haven't been your usual perky self. I'm not saying anything else about that."
"Hmm. now that you think about it."
"What is the problem? Really."
Hinata didn't reply automatically. Darrell finally finished his food off and stared right into her eyes. "Listen. do you want to go somewhere where we can talk?"
Hinata nodded while also finishing her meal. "I guess that would be right."
Both teenagers stood up from the table and threw their garbage in the garbage can next to them. "Can you two watch over Nijel for me? We'll be on. maybe a trolley."
Sakura K. nodded. "We'll meet you there. Don't get on one before we get there!"
Both Darrell and Hinata smiled as they left the restaurant.
----- -----
"So tell me. What's the problem?"
Hinata sat by Darrell on a bench near a trolley depot. It was pretty crowded, but the two could hear each other very well. As Hinata sat down, she let out a breath of air.
"Darrell. I. really have been jealous of you two."
"Why? That's the thing I'm trying to understand."
"You should look at you two. Even if you get your butt handed to you, Sakura always has your back. I just feel as if I'm to the side most of the time."
Darrell immediately knew how Hinata was feeling. He was always the guy at the side of the road before he met Sakura, Hinata, Batsu and Kyosuke. He just looked down to the ground.
"I'm. sorry," he said slowly. "I. wish I could have. known earlier."
Hinata looked at the American. "I guess I can't blame her. A lot of things have happened to her, and this Sakura Satsu. I didn't show it, but I was REALLY jealous of her power. The way you three battle is just spectacular."
"Are you trying to say that you are inferior to us? I really have to disagree with that one. You are a lot better than some of these scrubs out there." Darrell paused for a second then something gave him a great idea. "Hey! When we meet up with Ken, why don't you ask him for a sparring match? It will get your confidence up to where it's supposed to be."
Hinata's eyes brightened. "You mean I can? You don't think the Sakuras are going to be mad about this?"
"Come on. listen to yourself! You never acted like this when I first met you. Brighten up why don't ya? If anything, Sakura and I have been in too many battles. My aura is still pretty tired from the explosion back in Thailand."
Hinata giggled. "Yeah. you really killed that tree."
"That's more like it!" Darrell cheered. He gave Hinata a friendly punch to her shoulder and Hinata returned the favor.
"Now. don't you feel better now that we had this little talk?"
"Sure do! Come on! We should go back to the McDonald's. Those three might have heartburn."
Darrell and Hinata were about to get up off the bench, but was cut off by four men in blue jeans. The one looking down at them had on a white bandanna that covered his hair. He was sort of light-skinned, and he wore his long tee-shirt like it was an apron. The others were basically following suit. So much for American fashion, Hinata thought.
"Hey," the light-skinned man started, "we need some help and we were hoping that you two can help us."
Neither Darrell nor Hinata responded.
"You see. we were about to use the trolley to head downtown. and unfortunately we are short on cash. Do you mind." he reached into his pocket. and pulled out a small automatic gun and pointed it right at the two. ".coughing up all the money you got? Things won't get ugly if you cooperate."
To the man's surprise, Darrell just dropped his head and chuckled. "Oh, man. I guess you want our tourist money, huh?"
The man held his gun steadily at Darrell's head. "Do you have a ton of wax in your ears man!? That is what I've been telling you to cough up!"
Darrell jerked his head up and stared straight up at the gunman, holding up his right fist. It was then that he whispered the word that he hadn't used in a long time.
"Shakunetsuken."
To the gunman's shock, he jumped away as the kid's fist shot into flames. "What the.? Who are you?" he asked.
"Humph! I'm the guy who is going to kick your ass for trying to rob my friend and me. Hey, Hinata!"
Hinata looked at Darrell. "What is it?"
"You don't mind teaching these guys a lesson, do you? It would be a nice start up for you."
For the first time today, a smile crossed her face. 'Let's do this!"
As the two got up from the bench, the gunman raised his gun straight at Darrell's head. "Take one more step to me. and you'll regret it for the last 5 seconds of your life!"
Darrell responded with an icy glare. "You are such a coward. It's not like a man to carry a gun with him to rob teenagers."
"Roberto.," one of the man's lackeys said cautiously. "These guys might know some of that kung-fu stuff. Maybe we shouldn't mess with them-"
Roberto swung his head around. "Listen! All three of you! I never back away from a hit and this won't be the time that I start.! Hey, what's with you guys?"
Roberto saw his gang buddies, who had large expressions of fear on their faces. "Uh. look behind you."
He turned around. and came face to face with the two teenagers that were wearing evil grins. He froze in terror and shock.
"Hi. Roberto." both of them said evilly as they wound up and blasted Roberto in the face and chest with two powerful punches. Roberto was sent flying into the street, nearly missing a running car and landing on the other side of the street. The other gang members just looked at their leader then looked back at the two and slowly backed away. "Hm. You're nothing like the Roberto I know," Hinata said to the now KO'ed body of the robber before looking at the retreat.
"Yeah. that's right. back away," Darrell said coldly. "You don't want any trouble from us."
That was it. The three guys ran at full speed in the other direction. When they were out of sight Hinata asked, "So. you feel like heading back?"
Darrell only nodded and both started walking back up the hill to the McDonalds.
----- -----
"OKAY, EVERYBODY!! I WANT EVERYBODY TO HIT THE GROUND AND MAKE WITH ALL THE MONEY YOU GOT! DON'T ANYONE TRY TO BE A HERO OR YOU ARE GOING TO BE THE FIRST ONE TO GET A CAP WHERE THE SUN DON'T SHINE!"
A bunch of men, wearing nothing but black, barged into the doors of the McDonalds with handguns. All the people in the restaurant instantly dropped to the ground, fearing for their lives. Some whimpering could be heard in certain sections of the room, catching the head guy's attention.
"I DON'T WANT TO HEAR A SOUND COMING FROM ANYBODY IN HERE!"
The man was treated to silence for a few seconds. that is until.
"You know. you are way too loud to be in a public restaurant like that. If you want some food, just get in the line. but it seems that you came here for the wrong reason. at the wrong place. at the wrong time."
The man saw three young kids come out from behind a pole. Two of them were teenage girl twins of Japanese decent, one with much darker skin than the other. The last one was a kid, literally. He was an African, heavy set, and looked like he just gotten off a good meal.
"Didn't I say not to be a hero?" the man asked loudly, pointing his gun at the middle of the three, which was the darker twin. "Now I got to make an example out of you three."
The tanned girl just smiled wickedly. "Not likely."
"Why you."
BANG!
The sound of the man's gun going off could be heard throughout the McDonald's. The bullet went zooming across the room and hit the girl square in the forehead. that is. if that was really her.
"What the.!?"
The gunman saw many images of the Japanese teenager where he shot her. and they suddenly floated straight at him.
"What?!?"
"Over here, stupid!"
He spun around. and got nailed in the face with a mighty blow, making him drop his weapon. He went straight to the floor.
"Why you little punk!" one of the other men screamed as he and three others started firing at the girl, but once again, she warped out of the way.
"Aren't you guys forgetting something?" she asked as she got out her warp while pointing past them. They all turned their gazes and were put out of their misery by two large blasts of energy. One was a massive blue wave of energy that flew through the air and the other was a purple, electric title wave.
"Eat this!" the other two yelled out as their blasts connected, sending the assailants to the ground.
"You."
The first gunman got to his feet, staring at the dark-skinned girl. He clenched his fist with anger, but even before he could take a step, he was hit in the back of the head by a punch from the youngest kid.
"You just don't know when to quit, do you?" he asked as he followed with an uppercut to the back of the man's ribs, then knocked him back with another strong punch. The man went stumbling to the lighter of the two twins, who shot into the air and, while spinning like a top, kicked him three times, knocking him to the darker twin.
"Finish this!" the two shouted at the dark twin. She smiled while grabbing him from the back, jumping over his head, and kicked him across the alley leading up to the exit. He went crashing over his gun buddies, falling backwards to hit the glass door. if it wasn't for the fact that two other teenagers opened the door. and they wound up.
"Boy voyage!" the boy said mockingly, then..
"GYAAH!"
"TYAH!"
The man's back was totaled by an insanely strong knuckle from the boy and a leaning double fisted punch from the girl. He was finally knocked unconscious and landed on top of the pile of bodies.
"And I thought that we had problems," Hinata, the girl that walked in, said while walking over to the others.
"Someone tried to rob you guys at the trolley?" Nijel, the youngest fighter, asked.
Darrell, the other teenager that walked in, nodded. "They were nothing but punks. They ran right when we knocked out their leader."
"Humph! So you two did a lot more than talking." Sakura Kasugano, the lighter of the twins, said while giggling a bit.
"Ah, shut up, Sakura." Hinata shot back. She turned to the darker twin. "Sakura S.. I'm guessing that you played a role in this beating, huh?"
Sakura Satsu just smiled while crossing her arms. "Don't even try to flatter me, Hinata. It will get you nowhere."
"Excuse me."
All five fighters turned to what appeared as the manager of the place.
"I would like to thank each and every one of you for keeping the well-being of every soul in this restaurant safe from those guys. They tried to rob us once before and were successful. How can this McDonald's every repay you?"
Darrell put a hand on his chin. "Speaking of pay. heh, heh, heh."
----- -----
"Can you believe it?" Nijel exclaimed as the group exited the burger restaurant. "5 thousand bucks!"
"Don't worry about a thing, brother," Darrell said while flipping through the money. "Some of this will be spent very well."
"Hey!"
In front of the young fighters was a man in his twenties, wearing a black shirt, brown leather jacket and black jeans. He had blond hair that went down his back in a ponytail. It didn't take anyone two seconds before recognizing who it was, especially the Sakuras.
"Ken!?" Sakura K. asked in disbelief. Ken just nodded.
"What's up? Listen, I saw you five put on a great show in there and was wondering if you guys wanted to come with me to my estate. It's a few miles from here, but you'll be there in no time in my limo."
"Sure!" Hinata answered hastily.
As everyone made their way to Ken's limo, the authorities were rushing past them to the McDonalds, ready to arrest the gunmen. While they were doing that, Ken turned around and asked Sakura K., "Say. how badly did you hurt those guys?"
Sakura K. just giggled. "Well, let's just say that they got what they deserved."
