Kuzuku woke up the next day feeling completely rejuvenated. He took a morning shower and put on his new school clothes. A black hoodie with a hood that is orange in the inside. He wore black jeans with orange and black boots. He walked out and took off to school. On his usual spot and made his way into the hallways in no time. As he was making his way to class, he couldn't help but notice the stares he was getting around school. When he entered the his first period class he noticed his friends were at their usual spots. He walked over and greeted them as he normally would. He then took notice of the stares he kept getting grew more intense.

"Hey, why is everyone staring at me like I did something?"

"Oh its about your date with Ryusika. Since you two never became official, people been wondering how the relationship between you two are now. Some people believe you got dumped but some believed you dumped her which is not good." Kize explain

"Wait how is that not good?"

"Well most of the boys at school worship her like a goddess. So you dumping her most likely hurt her, which gives off the impression of you being a villain" Liz added

"Oh no no no. I can see where this is going." Kuzuku came into realization

"Yes you are going to have people trying to be her knight in shining armor by most likely trying to beat you up." Vincent confirmed. Kuzuku then pinched his nose and exhaled.

"Well looks like I'm gonna have a handful everyday." Kuzuku groaned

"Hey be a bit more optimistic Kuzuku. It may not be that bad." Ace assured

"Yeah maybe your...right..." Kuzuku voice trailed off as he saw a group of boys wearing the same get up. They had a sign that said "Were coming for you!" while pretending to slice there throat. Kuzuku then went buried his head.

"Okay that happened but it can't get worse." Ace nervously chuckled. Then the teacher finally entered the room teach class.

"Welcome back class. I see that has returned" greeted. Kuzuku waved at her.

"Despite his absences, you kids should try to follow his examples academically." she noted. The majority of the class glared at Kuzuku. This made him gulp in fear for a bit. As the class took off, Kuzuku was now training his thoughts towards the upcoming tournament. He couldn't wait until he was able to show case on what he learned. The period ended in little time. Kuzuku then made his way out to his locker so he can retrieve his History textbook. When he made it to his locker, he noticed an obvious bulge coming out.

"What the hell?" Kuzuku thought as he opened his locker. A pile of letters fell on the floor in front of him. He picked one of the many letters up and turned it over to see a heart on it. On cue, Kize walked over to see what was going on.

"Whoa, whats with all the love letters?"

"Love letters?" Kuzuku questioned

"Come on man, you don't know what a love letter is? Its a letter that is given to the person you like. Think of it as some sort of confession." Kize explained.

"Oh well that's nice. But I can't really accept any of these since I already with 21." Kuzuku said nonchantly.

"Yeah, don't think that we didn't spot you two flirting with each other." Kize teased which made him blush.

"So what do I do with the letters." Kuzuku asked.

"Well you could take them home and burn them."

"Hmmm seems legit.". The two then made their way to their next class. When they entered, they found that they had a substitute for the day and decided to chill that period. Kize and Vincent were cracking jokes while Liz and Ace were doing typical couple things. Kuzuku was completing the sub work that was assigned. Everyone else in the class were either being chaotic or sleeping. The school day from there ended rather quickly. The group were then met by the said most popular girl at school.

"About time you guys are out." Ryusika stated

"Yeah but what do you want cow?" Liz insulted

"I will ignore that one for now strawberry shortcake. I was always wondering if we could head over to Kuzuku's place." she retorted

"Now that you think about it even though I am his best friend, I've never been to Kuzuku's house." Ace realized

"Uhh you sure. I am positive that it is not all that interesting" Kuzuku nervously chuckled

"Oh come on dude. I bet that it can't be all that bad. I live in a typical suburb home next to Vincent so it can't be any worse."

"Well if you say so..." his voice trailed off.

"Great then its settled. We will be taking my Jet their." Ryusika stated with glee. The group cheered except for Kuzuku. As they were flying towards their destination, Kuzuku started to get nervous by the minute.

"Hey, how long till we get there. Its been an hour." Kize complained

"Any minute now. Oh wait where here." Kuzuku pointed. What they saw was a moderately large cabin next to a waterfall on a mountain area. The view was breathtaking as plant life covered the home. The jet finally landed. They then exited and took in the scenery.

"Wow, so this is where you live. To think you would live in such a secluded but yet beautiful area." Liz awed

"Well I kinda wanted to train in peace, away from the city. If I known that I would of had to go to school then I would of moved closer." Kuzuku said as he opened his door. When they walked in you could see the living room area that had a flat screen TV that was surrounded by three couches and a glass table. Next to the living room was the kitchen that had marble counters. It was a decent sized kitchen so it didn't really stood out much. Down the hall was Kuzuku's room along with the bathroom. Of course he had guest rooms which were reserved. In the living room was a screen door that lead to the waterfall area that had a patio. He also fishes there for food most of the time and Grills them.

"This is one hell of a place you got Kuzuku." Kize said.

"Well I didn't really earn it. It was sorta built for me by Bulma." Kuzuku said

"So lets get this party going! What games do you have Kuzuku?" Kize cheered. Kuzuku didn't answer and walked over by the TV. He then pulled open one of the draws and motioned them to come and see. What they saw was a whole rectangular draw of games line up neatly.

"Damn, I didn't expect you to be such a gamer." Vincent said.

"Well I don't play as often. I usually train the majority of the time." Kuzuku

"Figures" Vincent responded as he went through his collection with Ace and Kize. Liz and Ryusika were standing next to Kuzuku as they watched the trio. Ryusika then began to speak.

"So Kuzuku where are your parents? Are they away or something?". Everyone froze at this as Kuzuku face began to morph into sadness. He then smiled solemnly.

"No nothing like that. Truth be told, I've never met my parents. I was a orphan since I was a baby" Kuzuku stated.

"Oh, I'm sorry I shouldn't..." She was then cut off

"No it was a innocent question. No need to beat yourself up about it." Kuzuku smiled

"So what do you guys want to drink. I got Coke, Pepsi, Sprite, , and all flavors of Fanta."

"I will take some Coke please!" Kize said as he raised his hand

"Ew Coke. Pepsi is obviously the way to go." Vincent grimaced. The two then started to debate which is better.

"I will take some Pineapple Fanta" Ryusika stated

"Sprite for me" Liz requested

"I guess I will have "

"Alright then I will be right back" Kuzuku walked away. Liz then took noticed of Ryusika sulking a bit. She patted her should in reassurance

"Hey don't worry about it. We felt bad as well when we made him confess about his true identity."

"I know but I can't help but feel bad for him. He's never had a father or mother in his life." Ryusika stated. Liz went silent and took a look at Kuzuku.

"Yeah we all do. But I can't help but wonder how he is able to remain so happy despite losing so much." Liz whispered. Kuzuku came back with the drinks and sat them down on the table as Vincent set up the Xbox 360 for Left 4 Dead 2. The first Duo was Kize and Ace as they went through hoards of mobs one by one. It was going well on there first run until Kize heard noise nearby.

"Hey do you hear crying?" Kize asked

"Yeah I don't know what but I guess its a child or something. We should probably keep on our lights on to see." Ace said as he turned the corner. Kuzuku then processed what Ace said.

"Wait Ace don't turn that corner." Kuzuku warned but was too late. The witch was triggered by the light.

"Holy fuck!" Ace shouted as he panicky mashed random buttons to gain his distance. Ace's avatar Nick was then on the ground, getting butchered by the undead maiden. Kize went on to unleashed a whole clip of Ak 47 bullets into the zombie. Killing as a result. While he went to revive Ace, everyone then took a deep breath.

"So what the hell was that?" Vincent asked.

"Well that was one of the special zombies. She is known as the witch. You can tell if she is around if you hear crying nearby. If you startle her through either being too close, shooting her, or shining light on her, then she will come after you." Kuzuku explained

"Gee thanks for the warning." Ace muttered. At that moment someone knocked on the door. Liz got up and went to go see who it was. When she opened the door she saw 21 in her majin form. She had a bag and was wearing white sweater with jeans while her tail was out.

"Oh hey 21, care to join us?" Liz hugged.

"Uhh sure thing, I wondered why there was a jet outside." 21 accepted. She followed Liz inside and was greeted by the gang.

"Hey 21, guess you couldn't stay away. You've must of missed us." Kize said as he wasn't paying attention to the game. Ace grew a bit annoyed as he had to momentarily defend Kize's character

"Yeah I guess so." She smiled as she looked over to Kuzuku who was staring back. Ryusika took notice of this and folded her arms in jealousy.

"So what are you guys doing?" 21 said as she took her seat next to Kuzuku.

"Well we came over to see Kuzuku's place and then decided to hang out here for the day. I must say, his place is rather nice in my opinion." Liz explained.

"It was all my idea anyways." Ryusika puffed. 21 then noticed her presence as she recall the woman who spoke out.

"Oh its you again, where's my manners I forgot to say hello to you."

"What do you mean? Have we met before?" Ryusika raised an eyebrow

"Come on Ryusika, this is 21. The girl that you didn't trust at the park" Liz reminded

"Wait shes that same one that took us to that palace in the sky? Why is she pink?"

"Well she has a human form but apparently this is her true and most comfortable form."

"So shes some sort of lizard girl or something?" Ryusika questioned

"Well not exactly. I am technically a bio-cyborg that has DNA of Earths strongest fighters. I am mostly organic but my organic structure has been altered to resemble a race called majins" 21 explained

"That makes sense any ways I guess I should apologize for the way I acted against you" she closed her eyes.

"No need, I expected that sort of reaction" 21 smiled. They turned their attention to the screen, as Ace and Kize were almost at the end. They had low hp and the safe room was up ahead.

"Looks like were going to clear this part with ease." Ace claimed. It was at that moment they heard horror music start to play as the ground began to shake.

"What's happening" Kize asked. Kuzuku smirked as what was about to transpire was going to be game over for the duo. He only said one catering thing to help them out.

"Tank"

"Tank? What do you mean_" Kize said but stop mid sentence as what Kuzuku had warned appeared.

"What the hell is that!" Kize said. Because of the fact that everyone including the CPU had low HP. They were eventually killed by the enormous zombie. Kuzuku explained that Tanks have the most HP and are the hardest hitting special zombie. He was later forced to explain each type of special zombie since this is the second time they nearly died to one. Hours passed as the others had fun watching the frustration of the four players. Yes Kuzuku played to and was doing surprisingly better than the other three. But of course Kuzuku's one weakness in Left 4 Dead 2 was one specific special zombie. Hunters. Eventually it was getting late so everyone waved their goodbyes and started to head home. 21 stayed back with Kuzuku, as the two would sit on top of the roof, admiring the starry sky. 21 remembered the real reason why she came over.

"Oh Kuzuku how can I forget. Can you wait a minute?" 21 asked as she jumped down to get the bag she was carrying. She came back up and unraveled on what was in the bag.

"I thought that since your old Gi was ruined, I would make you a new one" 21 explained as she handed it over to Kuzuku. He unfolded the Gi to get a full inspection on its design. It's primary color was gray but it had a orange claw patter on the sides and shoulder. Under the Gi was a elastic shirt that was black. The orange and black belt was wrapped around the waste where the it was tied to the side. The boots were pointed at the ends that contained three buckles. The only thing that hasn't change was the gloves that extended a tad bit on his arm. Kuzuku smirked at the design.

"So do you like it?" 21 said as she cast her eyes down

"Like it? I love it." Kuzuku says as he pulls 21 in for a hug. She unconsciously nuzzles her head into his chest as the they stood on the roof. As the two broke apart, 21 said she didn't want to leave yet, so Kuzuku decided to let her spend the night here and watch a movie with him. As the movie progressed, the two would eventually fall asleep all cuddled up next to each other. Prior to Kuzuku falling asleep, he faintly remembers that tomorrow will be the upcoming tournament in which he smiles before he falls asleep.
