Time Off from Killing and have Fun!
"Hmm…" Mika looked over the latest report she got from her sources, even looking at them twice like Santa Claus checking his naughty and nice list.
"There's no doubt about it… there hasn't been any bad monsters popping in the 9 days, 8 days when there was a small group of Vibes, but still." Mika said before forming the biggest smile her face can manage. She didn't hear the knocking on her door and Rihoko enter.
"Hey Mika, I brought you some coffee and"
"WE CAN GO HAVE FUN WILD AND PARTY UNTIL WE'RE PURPLE!" Mika shouted happily and jump on her desk, shocking Rihoko almost causing her to spill the coffee.
"Uh, did something good happened?" Rihoko asked.
"You better strawberry jelly believe there is, since we haven't had any monsters running around and calls about it for over a week. It's the perfect time to go to the town's festival!" Mika announced.
"There's a festival here?" Rihoko asked curious.
"Yep, it's summertime and we're gonna have fun in the sun! And the best part is, the festival is also at the beach!" Mika squealed.
"Wow, it's been a long time since I was at the beach." Rihoko smiled, remember the time she went to the beach with her friends and her mom back in their old world. Even the time when she and her dad went to the beach together a few times.
"Then you better get ready and grab a swimsuit because we'll be going to the festival tomorrow!" Mika mentioned the time.
"Cool! I'll go tell the others right now!" Rihoko excited as she ran out the office.
Mika sat back on her chair smiling seeing a young girl happy about doing something exciting, especially when it comes to summer, she look over to the corner of her desk seeing a framed picture of Mika and Jack as a little kid sitting on the sand together with the waves behind them.
"Aw, it feels like yesterday when Jack and I went to the beach and coming home with a crab on my butt." Mika recalled that time, including the feeling the crab's claw on her butt cheek.
(With Masane and Shiori)
"You're going down, Shiori!" Masane proclaimed.
"Oh please, you don't stand a chance against me like this!" Shiori smirked.
"KO! Destruction Finish!" The TV announced of the fighting video game as Masane moan of losing while Shiori cheers for her victory. Both were playing video games in Jack's room because they wanted to see which of them is the better game player, and Jack watches them in amusement of seeing two sexy women playing video games.
"Oh man, how are you so good at this?" Masane asked angry.
"Don't be such a sore loser, I had some free time back when I was working with Dr. Reina at the hospital and I got into some gaming." Shiori explained with a cocky smirk.
"I got to say, you're pretty good with a controller, maybe you and I can have a match." Jack said sitting on the couch.
"I'm still surprises that your mom owns a big building like this and you two the top floor too, and you get paid for killing monsters too. I say that's a pretty good life." Shiori commented.
"Well, enjoying the calm and fun life is good and all… but there's nothing fun when it comes to killing those monsters." Jack glared serious, this surprise Masane a bit.
"Here in Killer is Dead, we take our job seriously because of the dark matters and monsters like the Vibes are causing big trouble around the world. This group was formed by the strongest people they can find with the strongest killing instinct to deal with them, these bastards hurt a lot of people and we're the type that hurts them back." Jack explained as he tightens his fist.
"Hmm, I guess it's similar to me except I was suddenly thrust into it, but I fought to protect Rihoko." Masane said understanding where Jack is going with this.
"I was given a chance to be someone better when Dr. Reina gave me my Cloneblade, it changed my life forever and I have no regret on it." Shiori said.
"Better hope you don't turn into a crystal dust like before." Masane joked.
"Oh, I won't have to worry about that anymore thanks to your little girl." Shiori chuckled. And they laugh together.
"I bet it feels a little odd that two people who were enemies trying to kill each other are now friends." Jack pointed out.
"Yeah, it's still feels a little weird since Shiori has been with us over a week, but I guess it's nice having a strong alley on our side." Masane commented.
"And I do owe you guys for trying to kill you, so there's that." Shiori shrugged.
"Guys! Guys, I got news good news from Mika!" Rihoko yelled out as she enters Jack's room.
"Hey Rihoko, what's all the excitement?" Masane asked.
"There's a summer festival at the beach and Mika said we're all going tomorrow!" Rihoko revealed making the women excited.
"The beach, that's awesome!" Masane cheered.
"Hmm, it's been sometime since I've been to the beach. The last time I went to one was on a job." Jack mentioned and knowing it's that time of year now.
"I don't think I've been to the beach since I was a kid, it'll be nice to enjoy the hot sunlight on my skin." Shiori said thinking about getting a tan.
"Cool, now we just need to buy some swimsuits." Masane suggested going shopping.
"Actually, Mika said she already got us swimsuits and will give them to us in the morning." Rihoko mentioned.
"(Hmm, knowing my mom, she probably picked out something more sexy and cute. Can't wait to see that.)" Jack thought smirked.
"Oh man, our first summer in a new world and we're going to have the best time EVER!' Masane declared as everyone agrees with her.
Unknown to everyone, there's a man standing on top of a tall building right across the KID building looking directly at Jack and smirks.
(Tomorrow)
"Okay, are you guys ready for some fun!" Mika asked exciting wearing a white one-piece swimsuit with flowers and light shade bright colors.
"I wonder what kind of food they'll be serving there. I made some lunches just in case." Rihoko patted her picnic basket. She wears a one-piece purple swimsuit with a single red stripe and has a summer hat.
"Yeah, I'm ready for some surfing action." Jack said holding a black and red surfboard of his own design. He wears a beach white coat and black swimming shorts.
"Mom, what's taking you so long?" Rihoko asked calling out.
"It's the swimsuit Mika gave me; I don't think I could wear something like this in public." Masane replied.
"Oh, did I get the wrong sizes?" Mika asked.
"No, it's not the sizes, it's just…" Masane paused.
"Oh, come on, Masane, don't you want to show off to your young boyfriend your body?" Shiori asked teasing.
"He is NOT my boyfriend! And he already got his pervert eyes on my breasts!" Masane snapped, making him grin as he remembers that morning.
"Just put the bikini on and let's go, everyone is waiting for the fun to start." Shiori pointed out.
Masane let out a sigh of defeat and soon the two walks out of the building revealing themselves in their new swimsuits.
Shiori is wearing a blue two-piece bikini with the top part being wrapped across her large breasts and the bottom part look a little tight. She is also wearing blue-framed shades.
Masane wears a two-piece purple bikini with red stripes, the top part are two triangles a little bigger covering her nipples and strings attach around her and the bottom part is a tight looking too.
"Whoa, you really picked out some swimwear!" Rihoko commented.
"Yep, these girls will be turning heads when we get to the beach." Mika nodded.
"Seriously, I don't any more perverts looking at me weird… it's creepy and I just want to relax at the beach." Masane complained as she covers herself a little.
"But mom, didn't you wore that white bikini when you got off work and came to the beach while I was other the others?" Rihoko recalled seeing Masane in that white bikini.
"I was in a rush and I wanted to spent time with you." Masane stated.
"I believe Jack likes you in that bikini." Shiori pointed at Jack who smiles and gave Masane a thumb up.
"Whatever, let just get going." Masane looked away hiding her blush.
"Alright, everyone, it's time for our Beach Fun Festival!" Mika cheered as everyone got in the car.
(Beach)
"Wow, the ocean is pretty and there's so many people here too!" Rihoko amazed of seeing the beach in front of her.
"And check it out, some of the stuff from the festival are on the beach too." Masane pointed out.
"Come on, let's go find us a spot and set up with our stuff and then it's fun time!" Mika suggested and they walk around for a bit until they found a big spot for them.
"Okay, I'm going to check out some of the games over there. What are you all going to do?" Mika asked.
"I'm going to see if I can find some seashells." Rihoko said.
"It'll help out and maybe we'll play in the water too." Masane joined Rihoko.
"I'm going to lay here for a while, maybe get a tan and go out for a little swim." Shiori said before laying down on her towel after putting on a little sunscreen.
"I'm going surfing, and mom, try not to cause any trouble." Jack warned.
"Jacky, this your mom you're talking to." Mika said.
"Exactly." Jack deadpanned before heading to the water and everyone begin having fun.
Jack is surfing on a big wave as he shows off his skills like a pro and doing a quadruple flip in the air and standing at the front edge of the board hanging ten. Shiori is still laying under the sun's rays as her skin glows a little almost like a Goddess. Masane and Rihoko are having a good time together too, collecting a few seashells and playing the water too, this reminds them of their old friends they had back in their old world wondering how they're doing right now. Mika is having the most fun as she played a few games and won cool prizes too, she also tried at least two of the food stances as they taste great. Later, everyone decided to eat the lunch Rihoko made which was very good as they ate the food until it's all gone, Shiori decided to go walk along the shore a little and Masane watch Jack surfing as her mind thought of him being cool, dangerous, and kind at the same time.
Jack came back to the shore after finishing his surfing fun and headed back to the others.
"You certainly are full of surprises, aren't you?" Masane asked.
"Gotta be prepared for everything, but yeah, it is fun." Jack said.
"If you want, I can teach you the basics." Jack offered.
"I don't know, I never thought about trying to surf." Masane mentioned.
"Then I think it's a good time to learn something new." Jack grabbed Masane's arm and pull her into the water much to her protest.
"Hmm, it looks like those are two are having fun." Shiori grinned.
Jack help Masane get on the board and started teaching her how to stand on the board, Masane was nervous and the board moving because of the ocean wasn't making it better as she fell off over and over for twenty-six times until she finally managed stand on the board. Jack pull the board while Masane is keeping her balance on the board feeling like she's surfing right now, and he let go letting Masane surf on the smaller waves which she felt excitingly happy as Jack cheers for her.
"Oh wow, that was amazing!" Masane smiled.
"Glad you liked it, learning something new is never easy, but the experience is worth it once you get the hang of it." Jack explained.
"Got to say, you really are one interesting guy to be with, a pervert too but still." Masane complimented.
"Thanks, and having more people here sure makes my mom happier than ever." Jack said looking at Mika with Rihoko making a sandcastle together.
"I've been wondering about this for while and I'm sure if you want to talk about it, if you don't want to…" Masane tried to find the right words to say it.
"You want to know about my father?" Jack asked, beating Masane to the punch.
"Don't worry, it's no big deal to be honest because mom doesn't really about my dad." Jack revealed.
"Really?" Masane asked.
"Yep, she doesn't really member the man she was with at the time later found out she was pregnant with me. It was probably a one-night thing and it didn't bother her as she decided to raise me on her own." Jack explained as the sun starts to slowly go down.
"Uh, I went through the same thing when I first found Rihoko in my arms thinking she's my daughter and tried my best to raise her. Years later, I found out about her parents that Reji was the father and her mother… is Reina." Masane revealed.
"The woman Shiori mentioned?" Jack asked wanting to be sure it's the same person.
"Yeah, Reina wanted to see what it was like having a daughter in her life when she Rihoko from me, but it didn't last long as she died from her Cloneblade and Rihoko was back with me. I kinda wonder what her last thoughts were before she died." Masane explained and look up at the sky.
"Well, you can ask her yourself consider she's alive in this world thanks to Rihoko." Jack reminded Masane of the wish Rihoko made.
"Right. Hey Jack, thanks for taking us that night." Masane thanked.
"Your welcome, I felt a feeing in my gut saying to take you two in and here we are now." Jack said as Masane look down with a smile on her face.
"Well then, here's a little something you'll feel now." Masane leaned to Jack's head and kiss on his cheeks surprised him.
"Whoa!" Jack said.
"Don't get ahead of yourself, I may like you but not in the romance couple way." Masane stated.
"I can take that." Jack smiled.
"Hey Jack, could you go get us some food from the food stances, please!" Mika requested.
"Sure!" Jack responded and handed Masane his surfboard before heading for the food stances.
"I got to say, mom, you sure were funny falling off that board." Rihoko commented.
"Very funny, sweetie, but it was fun when I go the hang of it." Masane said.
"Yeah, I bet Jack was really enjoying all that time with you… especially that kiss you gave him." Shiori mentioned making Masane flinch and blush.
"You saw that?!" Masane gasped.
"When I was coming back." Shiori said. Masane turns to Mika and Rihoko wondering if they saw that kiss too.
"It wasn't hard not to notice that from here." Rihoko giggled as Mika did.
"It was j-just on the cheek, nothing more!" Masane denied of what they're thinking as her face turns red.
(With Jack)
"Okay, I think that should be enough for everyone." Jack said holding a tray of food he got from a few food stances.
"Excuse, have you tried the scrambled eggs, they're really good." A man said. He has black hair corm over like a businessman, wearing glasses with the shine covering his eyes, and white swim shorts.
"No, but maybe I'll have my mom make me some for breakfast." Jack said before turning around.
"Yes, Mika does make good scrambled eggs." The man nodded and Jack became shock that he knew his mom's name.
"How do you my… mom?" Jack tuned around and the man was nowhere in sight.
"Keep getting stronger, Jack. I want to see how far your bloodlust will take you." The man said in Jack's head and silent.
Jack didn't know what was all that about, that guy was definitely not normal if he knew about what he does and knowing his mom too making Jack worry, but he decided to put those thoughts aside for now and went back to the others.
KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!
I've decided to give the workers of KID some time off from the fighting with the monsters and enjoy the awesome summer time like going to the beach, and it would seem Masane is slowly starting to show her feeling for Jack as that love will blossom sooner or later. Looks like Jack had a strange encounter with a mysterious man who knows about him and Mika, Jack will have to be extra careful if he ever meets that man again.
