Live Stream & Movie Night
Manji Clan Village, Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan…
About two weeks have passed since Kunimitsu burned Eliza's horns. As promised, the vampire and kunoichi did not meet face to face. Kunimitsu also stayed off social media for a time to allow herself some peace of mind. She was too busy delivering goods to the needy all across Asia. Her husband was quite pleased with Kunimitsu's good behavior. So one day Raven asked Kunimitsu if she would be interested in going to the movies at the nearest city from the Manji Village. They both met at the café in the town square to talk alone during lunch.
Raven: "You've been awfully busy as of late."
Kunimitsu (Playful laugh): "I have to be slacker."
Raven: "Slacker? Hmph. Watching Eliza 12 hours a day isn't slacking."
Kunimitsu: "How is she?"
Raven: "She still harps on about finding Emilie Rochefort. I feel like I need to locate this girl and have her meet Eliza or something. I don't know if it would be a good thing or a bad thing. Of course, she sleeps on me half of the time whenever I explain something to her in ninja training. Eliza is improving little by little."
Kunimitsu: "I'll leave that decision to you as far as finding that girl for Eliza. What did you order to eat? I can't decide anything."
Raven: "Just some ramen is all I am eating with a pinch of salt."
Kunimitsu: "Ugh. I don't feel like eating that. I'll just eat some salad."
Raven: "Hey. Why don't we go watch a movie together later tonight? The baby can be watched by one of our elders."
Kunimitsu: "Hmmm…watch a movie? What kind of movie?"
Raven: "Anything you wanna watch."
Kunimitsu: "You mean it? Any movie of my choosing?"
Raven (Nods): "Certainly. I won't complain."
Kunimitsu (Smiling): "I do need to have some leisure time, even if for just a few hours. A movie will do. Let me pick something to watch." (Looks at her smartphone. She uses it only for jobs.) "I think this one will do. What time should we leave the village?"
Raven: "We can leave within the next 4 hours. Once I know Eliza is in a deep sleep."
Kunimitsu: "Good. Where is the waiter? She is still not here yet!"
Raven (Looks to his left, finds her.): "I see her coming now."
3 Hours Later…
Kunimitsu was done early with today's work. She spent some time forming up a live stream since she was too lazy to type responses from backed up emails. The kunoichi's spirits were uplifted since her husband was treating her to a movie. Her son, Karasu, was on the floor playing with his toys in the master bedroom. Hopefully, he wouldn't make too much of a fuss while Kunimitsu talked.
Kunimitsu (Turns on the record button): "Looks like I am live here. Hey everyone! I decided to answer my fan mail live this time because I don't feel like typing, I've been offline for several days now so I'm just getting back into the swing of things. If you hear kid noises, that is my baby playing with his toys. And he have viewers! So let's pull up the email inbox here. See what have I missed."
Reads…
Email #1: "What have you been up to?"
Kunimitsu: "Work and more work. My job as the leader of the Manji Clan is always busy."
Email #2: "Heihachi just put up a bounty of his wife, but he wants her alive. Will you accept and try to capture her?"
Kunimitsu: "I doubt it. How much is the bounty?" (Looks at the chat) "Really? 10 billion yen?! She is no ordinary woman, so I guess that price makes sense. I will need a plan of some sort to nab Kazumi without having to fight. I am not strong enough by myself to take her on with her Devil powers."
Email #3: "I hope you are okay Kunimitsu?"
Kunimitsu: "I'm doing fine."
Email #4: "If you live stream again, will you punish more of your haters for speaking ill of you Kunimitsu?"
Kunimitsu: "I'm live streaming now so no. Not this time."
Email #5: "How is that wonderful baby of yours?"
Kunimitsu: "My boy is doing well. He's in my room right now playing with his toys." (Looks behind & smiles at Karasu.)
Email #6: "We saw you last week delivering clothes to the needy in my hometown. I thank you for your great service to the public Kunimitsu!"
Kunimitsu: "You are welcome! It's what we do as the Manji."
Email #7: "Did you hear that Yoshimitsu got beat by this Claudio Serafino guy last week? I thought it would make you happy to hear your old leader get beat up."
Kunimitsu: "No! I did not hear about that! Sounds like this individual is pretty formidable as a newcomer in the Tekken tournaments. Very interesting."
Email #8: "I heard you had a mysterious creature staying in your village. The people there were wondering what that thing is? Is it friend or foe?"
Kunimitsu: "Now this email is asking about our guest here. Look, everyone listen carefully. Yes I am keeping a creature in the village, but I won't tell you its name. That alone will cause quite the commotion not just in the village, but the world too. My ninjas are keeping a close watch on her. So far the creature has been behaving very well. Just hope it stays that way. I do not want a repeat of what happened here at the Manji village three decades ago."
Email #9: "Do ninjas like you drive cars?"
Kunimitsu: "Really? Is this a joke? I can drive no problem! There are many ninjas in our clan who own cars. If I wanted to I would establish a car factory just building cars, but that is not my focus. The village must remain secluded and not grow into the sprawling concrete jungles like Tokyo!"
Email #10: "Is it true that the jonin exam for a ninja requires you to hold your breath under water for two minutes or more?"
Kunimitsu: "Yes. All ninjas needs to learn adaptation under water for spy missions."
Email #11: "Since you are married to Raven and all. What do you think of Master Raven so far and her latest victories in the King of Iron Fist Tournament?"
Kunimitsu: "I don't like to admit this, but I met Master Raven during the reception of my wedding. My curiosity got the better of me when I challenged her to a fight. I ended up losing that fight so I am not surprised that she is unbeaten so far. I did find out last night that Master Raven's upcoming match with Kazumi Mishima will prove to be her greatest challenge yet. If it is online for viewing, then I will watch with great interest. Overall, she is very serious person. Perhaps too serious. I know it is ironic coming from me. I do not put up with foolishness myself you all know."
Email #12: "Do you plan to have any more children?"
Kunimitsu: "No. not really. Taking care of Karasu is a job in and of itself."
Email #13: "Why won't you do a webcam special like what Anna or Lili did?"
Kunimitsu: "Huh? Just what's so special about their webcams?"
Chat member: "They take their clothes off!"
Kunimitsu: "Nani? Are they mad?! Anna I get, but this Lili chick? I thought she was just some rich brat who wouldn't stoop so low to strip in front a camera. Unbelievable!"
Email #14: "What will your response be if Yoshimitsu gets killed in this latest tournament?"
Kunimitsu: "A part of me will be sad, but the other half won't be because Yoshimitsu did ban me from the Manji Village in the past. Of course I was a brat back then, but that didn't mean we always saw eye to eye on things. I'm curious as to what Yoshimitsu will do even if he doesn't die in this contest. I defeated him once and I can do it again."
Email #15: "Greetings from Bali, if you see this message it means I am either dead or I have left the island with my family because of the volcano eruption. We fear for our lives every day because of the G Corporation fighting the Zaibatsu over territory at Borneo. I'm not asking you to save me, just have your ninjas come to the island and help the people who need food and clothing. I do thank you for your hard work leader of the Manji clan."
Kunimitsu: "Sir, I do hope you are not dead. Since you have brought this unfortunate situation to my attention I will send some ninja to Bali to help with donating goods and offer cleanup tools. Please let me know you if you see this message. I am glad to help people like you."
Email #16: "Do the Manji give away free money as well as donated food and clothing?"
Kunimitsu: "No we do not. We are not a bank. Remember we rob from evil doers or people who truly dislike us, but I won't just give away money just to anyone. One will need to support the Manji clan for a very long time in order to receive some financial profit."
Email #17: "Kunimitsu, who would you rather play as, Ryu Hayabusa? Or Kage Maru?"
Kunimitsu: "Who are those guys? Are they ninja?"
Chat member: "They are ninjas in other video games."
Kunimitsu: "Oh. I don't play video games like I used to. I hope my son doesn't become addict to gaming. It would totally waste his potential as a ninja."
Chat Member: "What types of games do you play?"
Kunimitsu: "I owned Sega consoles back in the day so I played a lot of Sonic the Hedgehog games."
Email #18: "Are there other kunoichi's like you in the Manji Clan?"
Kunimitsu: "Yes, I have some younger kunoichi's in training as we speak, but they are not allowed to date until they are of jonin rank. Age doesn't really matter to me. If you are jonin then that means you are responsible enough to look after yourself. For any non-ninja boys who think they have what it takes to court a kunoichi in my clan should tread carefully."
Email #19: "If there was another tag tournament, would you pick your husband again or someone else?"
Kunimitsu: I would gladly pick my husband again, unless he has a special mission that he must do without me. I don't know who else I would fight with to be honest." (looks at the time.) "Let's keep this live stream going until 4 pm. I must get ready and dress up for movie night."
Chat Member: "Are you into movies? What will you go see?"
Kunimitsu: "I can't decide yet. I don't want to bore Raven with a girly movie. Maybe something with a little action but not cheesy you know?"
Email #20: "Does your kid look more like you or Raven?"
Kunimitsu: "I'd say he looks like both of us. His hair is a light brown color, I hope its turns redder like mine. My son has his father's lips but his nose is not as big. (Laughs). He will become quite the looker when he grows older, so I must make sure girls are not trying to stalk him." (Looks back at Karasu. He is still playing with his toys)
Email #21: "Kunimitsu, I for one really loved your outfit from the tag tournament you wore during your fights. I never knew you had such great legs!"
Kunimitsu: "Um…thank you!" (Trying not to blush)
Email #22: "Did Heihachi Mishima really try to recruit the Manji into the Zaibatsu? Wonder why he did that?"
Kunimitsu: "He's just trying to gain as many allies as possible in order to fight off his son. I do not like either man. I'd much rather stay independent than align myself with those demons known as the Mishimas!"
Email #23: "Check out this audio recording. Do you hear Yanny or Laurel?"
Kunimitsu (After listening): "I hear Yanny. What is this about anyway?"
Chat Member: "It's an experiment. Some people hear Yanny others hear Laurel."
Kunimitsu: "Really? Sounds like one word to me."
Email #24: "Are you sad that Dragonball Super ended?"
Kunimitsu: "No. I did hear that it ended abruptly. Of course Goku won. He wins all the damn time! And I will make sure my son never loses his edge in battle. He won't be a Gohan!"
Email #25: "What made you go after the pendant of Michelle Chang? I'm asking because she defeated you back in the second tournament."
Kunimitsu: "Michelle Chang. That damn woman! Thinks she's so innocent! Now back in the day I heard about her little charm and how much it was worth. So I was like, hell yeah I was gonna take it from her and sell it for a lot of cash! Probably by US Dollar since I had to leave Japan for a little while. By entering the second tournament, I was gonna snatch it from her neck after I fought her. However, my attitude got the better of me, Michelle slammed me on the rocky surface in her homeland and I was knocked out because of her grab move. I thought about stealing it from her again, but I found other cool things to steal. I really hate talking about her whenever she is brought up."
Email #26: "Just how big is your house at the Manji Village?"
Kunimitsu: "How big? About three stories high. Looks like a traditional Japanese castle but on a smaller scale. About 5,000 sq ft for the main building. Over 10,000 sq ft for the courtyard. It has 5 rooms, 2 of them guest rooms. 3 bathrooms, dining hall, kitchen, great room, a library, conference room, storage room, underground garage, and a basement."
Email #27: "Will you ever take the mask off?"
Kunimitsu: "I get this question all the time. My mask is a trademark you idiot! It's how people know me! A better question would be like 'Why do you hide behind an avatar?!' F*cking coward!"
Email #28: "Exactly how many ninja clans are there left Kunimitsu?"
Kunimitsu: "I used to think the Manji were the only surviving ninja clan growing up, but since I've been a runaway for most of my life I did discovered smaller sects of ninja clans, including my husband's. For classified reasons I will not tell you the name of his clan."
Email #29: "You really should express your gratitude towards us fans by doing some dance moves Kunimitsu. That would be epic!"
Kunimitsu: "Hmm...I'll think about it. Not in the mood to dance right now. Look, one more question and I have to get ready for tonight guys."
Email #30: "I heard that Yoshimitsu was a eunuch. Is this true or not?"
Kunimitsu: "Yes you heard right, but that doesn't him from perving on women. Alright everyone, I'm glad you all came to hear me talk at least for a little while. Come here Karasu!" (Gets up to grab her son who was climbing on her bed and jumping on it.) "Silly boy! Looky here! Wave at the camera! Say bye!" (He turns away.) "Ooh he's shy! Anyway I will talk to you all again soon! Bye bye!" (Clicks the record button off.) "Ok little man! It's time to send you off to the nanny!"
2 hours later…
Kunimitsu: "Raven are we taking your hovercraft?"
Raven: "We can, but I can't just land by the theater you know."
Kunimitsu: "Driving there would get boring pretty quick, but I did enough of that today."
Raven: "Anyway are you ready?"
Kunimitsu (At the mirror): "As soon as I do my lipstick."
It was time for Kunimitsu and Raven to leave the Manji Village and fly towards the main city of Kofu for a night out at the movies. They left a bit early, but Raven was preoccupied trying to find a place to land the plane without any complaints from local residents. Eventually he did find an abandoned building in the suburbs and parked the hovercraft there. However, the movie theater was still about 3 kilometers away. Kunimitsu was in her high heels. Speed running there would likely mess up her feet.
Kunimitsu: "Ok…how far are we from the theater?"
Raven: "3 kilometers."
Kunimitsu: "I'm on heels and I am not about to run all the way down there."
Raven (Looks at her feet.): "I see your point."
Kunimitsu: "So do be a gentleman and carry me please?"
Raven: "Don't complain if I go too fast okay?"
Kunimitsu (Frowning): "Very funny."
Raven picked his wife up gently. It was nothing for him as he leaped high in the air jumping off the building. Then he dashed off onto the sidewalk at high speed towards their destination. When he finally stopped they were just a few dozen meters away from the establishment. Raven put her down so he could catch his breath. His plain grey shirt was already covered in sweat. Kunimitsu got a little worried for him because he worked so hard to carry her there.
Kunimitsu: "Thank you sweety! Are you okay?"
Raven (Breathing heavy): "I am. I just…haven't sped run in a while."
Kunimitsu: "Well you did carry me, it was expected. Now let's make our way there."
When they arrived at the entrance of the movie theater there wasn't anything on the list Raven was interested in watching, but he was at his wife's mercy since he told her that she would watch anything she wanted. After finding the movie Kunimitsu wanted to see, the couple ended up watching a Western style superhero film. Kunimitsu thought it was funny, but she had to wake up Raven more than once since he fell asleep on the movie. When it was over, Kunimitsu's stomach was growling and she never bought popcorn to eat so she asked Raven if they could get dinner before going back to the hovercraft.
Kunimitsu: "That movie was really long…and now I'm hungry!"
Raven: "I could have gotten popcorn for you."
Kunimitsu: "I don't like popcorn. Let's just pick somewhere close to eat."
Raven: "Ok. What about that place over here at the corner?"
Kunimitsu: "Seafood? Exquisite taste Raven!"
Raven: "I'm in the mood for some blowfish."
Kunimitsu: "I want tuna."
For once, they were both smiling at each other over their decision. Raven felt a little bad for sleeping on the film since superhero work is something he could do no problem if he wanted to. He even put his left arm around Kunimitsu while walking towards the restaurant. Kunimitsu had her skin mask on to cover her facial burn scars instead of the fox one since it would easier to identify who she truly is. Underneath it all, she blushed over her husband's strong hold. The rest of the night was going to be very pleasant for them.
