Tecmo owns all characters, Dr. Suess owns the Grinch and Who-Ville... no I'm serious they're in this.
Chapter 8: Complicated
Phil's eyes still scanned the room until they stopped on a young lady sitting quietly in a lounge chair, reading to herself. Her auburn hair hung down over her shoulders and short bangs hung by her eyes.
Whoa hello, what have we here? Hitomi smiled and shoved Phil's shoulder, Phil regained his composure and cleared his throat.
"Yeah most guys do think Kasumi is cute, don't worry about it." Phil nodded slowly.
Okay so what's HER story? What is Hitomi going to say to ruin this for me? She's going to tell me that this girl's an alien from Mars? Or radioactive? Or a radioactive alien from Mars or something?
"She's a runaway shinobi, so I would advise you not to get too close." Phil looked at her.
Is that it? I- The sound of a door slamming against the walls caused everyone to jump. A tall, scowling man with brown hair stormed into the room, followed by a slim young woman with lavender hair. Whoa, it's the Grinch and a citizen of Who-Ville. The pair stopped in front of Kasumi and began screaming at her in Japanese, she simply ignored them and kept reading.
"That's Hayate and Ayane, the leaders of her former ninja clan." Phil watched very closely, this may have been more serious than he first thought. "They want her dead, but like the assassins, they can't kill her while we're under DOAtec lodging, unless they want a full army storming in here with huge guns." Part of Phil told him to stand up and tell them to back off, but before he could stand, the situation was stopped. Another male stepped out of a side room and stood behind Kasumi's chair, coldly staring at Hayate. The room started to clear out, Hitomi grabbed Phil's arm. "This may turn nasty, we should get out of here. They're not allowed to touch each other outside of matches, but they may decide to not follow that rule." Phil stared at the new arrival.
"Who is that first?" Phil was mesmerized, something about this man made him stand out, like an invisible aura of power flowed around him. Hitomi urged Phil to at least come into a side room so they wouldn't be seen. They quickly walked into another room and watched through the one way glass.
"That, is Ryu Hayabusa." Hitomi said quietly. Phil stared out through the window. "He was the winner of the first two tournaments, and the runner- up last year." Phil nodded slowly. He was amazed by the way the entire atmosphere of the room changed when he entered, like something about him demanded reverence.
"How the hell did Zack beat him?" Phil asked in reference to last year's championship, Hitomi shrugged.
"Luck is all I can think of." Phil turned from Hitomi and looked back out the window. Helena had finally woken up and slowly walked out of the room, eyeing Ayane every step of the way, her glare was chilling.
"So what's the story here?" Hitomi took a deep breath.
"Okay, but don't forget, you asked. Hayate went missing a long time ago, Kasumi went looking for him. Kasumi, Hayate and Ayane are all siblings. Hayate had been brainwashed or something and went by the name Ein, where he actually studied Karate under my father." Hitomi took another deep breath. "Before Hayate disappeared, he asked Ryu, his then best friend, to watch over Kasumi in case anything ever happened to him. So In the second tournament, Hayate entered as Ein. Ryu beat him and his memory returned." Hitomi went for another breath
Holy crap girl, slow down you're losing me
"So Hayate went on to take over the ninja clan again, but by then Kasumi had abandoned her clan, so Ayane led assassins to kill her. Once Hayate returned, he knew it was their tradition to kill any turncoats, so he also wants her dead. Now, Ryu has been keeping his word and protecting Kasumi, which unfortunately now has lead to Hayate and himself parting ways; and on top of all that there have been whispers that Kasumi and Ryu have become romantically involved, though there is no proof yet, but that just fuels the fire." Phil stared at her with the blankest expression he had ever worn.
Dear God, that is the most complicated thing anyone has ever said to me in my life, my brain has actually ceased to function from trying to register all that information. If you were to try to put any more info into my brain for the rest of the night, my head will in fact explode. He finally spoke. "So what you're telling me is that I really don't want to get involved if I know what's good for me." Hitomi nodded.
"More or less, yeah."
"And how do YOU know so much about this?" he asked her suspiciously, "Are you some ninja spy girl or something?" Hitomi muffled her giggle. "No, Kasumi and I talked a while on Zack island and she filled me in there." Phil exhaled loudly as the ninjas continued the stare-down.
So, steer clear of lunatic pixie and her ungrateful brother who wants to kill hot she-ninja with the most intimidating boyfriend ever to live. Hitomi began to pull Phil towards a rear exit. "So Hitomi, who CAN I talk to?" Hitomi put her arm around his shoulder. Get your arm off me, I'm not going to jail for you.
"Well, me of course. Helena is nice, but kind of arrogant at times, she's rich so it's not her fault. Gen Fu is really a nice old man, but he always talks about his granddaughter. Tina is really nice, I get along with her great, same with Leifang, just all she ever wants to talk about is Jann Lee. Bass you can talk to, but he's an acquired taste." Phil sighed heavily, Hitomi smiled. "Hey we like you, don't worry. Who wouldn't like a crazy Canuck?"
Dah, WHAT?! After all these people with all these issues I'M the crazy one?!
I guess I now owe an apology to Hayate and Ayane fans now for mocking them... I'm sorry Ayane fans... I don't like Hayate, I apologize for nothing =D
So what will happen next now that Phil is armed with information about the DOA crew? Read on and find out.
