DISCLAIMER: I don't own KOF, or any of the characters. This fanfic is
written purely in the name of entertainment and is not going to profit me
in anyway (in fact, it wastes my time). I accept all comments, however good
or bad.
STORYLINE: Character Focus – the Kyo/Shingo teacher/student
relationship
Original Character – Kyuijyo Nikaido (yeah, Beni's lil bro)
Rivalry – ShingoYabuki VS RockHoward/JaeHoon/KyuijyoNikaido
Guests – This is KOF, but we will have a few walk-ins from
popular SNK/MARVEL/CAPCOM
TIME ERA – This takes place after KOF2001. Technically, I
started writing fic before KOF2002 even came out
in my local arcades, so this has absolutely
nothing to do with the KOF2003 storyline.
** Without further ado, go ahead and wipe yourself out. Domo!

CHAPTER 02 : Thunderheads
KUSANAGI PALACE, OSAKA, EARLY MORNING ...
Kazuya Mishima let fly a heavy standing uppercut to put his opponent airborne before he launched four spinning Hell Sweep kicks, finishing with a solid roundhouse to the gut. His opponent may be about ten kilos lighter than him but he is no pushover. Nikaido Benimaru. Even in his situation he managed to smile at Kazuya. As the last kick begun to send him flying off, he was somehow able to charge a couple of electric fists and slam them into the sides of Kazuya's head. Both men flew apart in the midst of what sounded like a Hiroshima bomb. A good-looking young man dressed in blue stood up from his seat, opened-mouthed. Having watched the two masters of laser-blue electricity battle it out, this man's intelligent young mind began reconstructing and analyzing the complexity of the two masters' moves, as he always did with his teacher, who happened to be the sole heir to the Kusanagi fortune.
Yes, this man is Shingo Yabuki. A boy who came outta nowhere prior to the 1997 KOF Tournament and begged `Kusanagi-san' to take him as a student. Indeed, he was merely an enthusiastic boy then. But now, in year 2002, he has grown into a man. A man with a very big heart and potential for greatness, but still very loyal to Kyo. Kyo may still treat him like a doormat every now and then (and Iori too, whenever he pays Kyo a visit), but Shingo's loyalty is not something that can be easily understood. It is unconditional and steadfast. But he has always found it weird that Kyo and Iori were (??friends ??) no longer in the mood to do anymore deathmatches. The weirdest part would be that Iori was the one who called it off and even said that the feud was actually just a crock of bullshit between their ancestors, not them. It was not their concern. Kyo had agreed immediately and from then on, the two spent almost all of their time together taking long walks or hitting bars. Oh, well ...
Kazuya lay prone and rubbed his aching temple. Benimaru's electric ki did not affect him because the same aura ran through his own body, but the double-blow sure hurt as hell !! Benimaru who was forty feet away under a pile of rubble was not so hot either. He felt as though his breakfast was coming up. Meanwhile, Saishyu who was also spectating the match laughed and clapped his hands whilst another very large man with a white bandanna, Goro Daimon, gave a rare smile.
Benimaru was the one who invited Kazuya over for a training session. The Ironfist Tournaments had just ended as well and Kazuya had nothing better to do. He had been a good friend of the members of the Japan Team for a few years now, after Kyo and another friend of his helped rescue him from the soul-control of a demonlord.
Finally, after a few minutes to regain composure, Benimaru shook of the rubble, leapt up, and brushed himself off. "Yo, let's like do that again, bub, that was fun!"
