Chapter 33: Love, Poor Choices, Inheritance, and Other Complications
(Opening Theme: Unbreakable by Fireflight)
Cashew Village
Pearl and Kenshiro woke up to the sound of Jinbei and Kamiki throwing up, violently. They quickly got out of bed and ran to their room to see the two of them on the floor, vomiting blood! "PEARL! DO SOMETHING!" Kenshiro screamed as he ran to his Grandparents. Pearl lifted her hands and used Majin Magic to try to heal the damage, she sensed that their stomachs were tearing and healed the damage, but she couldn't stop the vomiting. Kenshiro carried his Grandparents to their bathroom, Kamiki threw up in the toilet while Jinbei threw up in the bathtub. After ten minutes their bodies finally stopped. "Kenny, I don't think you can take care of them here anymore, you need to put them in the Hospital, where the doctors, like Tsubaki, can take better care of them," Pearl said as she helped Kamiki clean herself up while Kenshiro helped Jinbei. "She's right…Kenshi-chan…" Jinbei said, "My Father died from…Cashew Flu, the day…after he…puked blood. You have become a great man, but you are a warrior, not a doctor." "Okay, do you want me to call the Hospital and take you there by ambulance, or let Pearl take you there, she can get you there in a second," Kenshiro asked his Grandparents. "Call the ambulance," Kamiki told him. "Pearl, watch Grandma and Grandpa," Kenshiro said as he ran back to his room to get his phone.
Pearl helped Jinbei and Kamiki to their living room, being extra gentle with them. Kamiki said, "Ah, Pearl, you're a blessing," Kamiki said as she set them down, using some blankets and pillows to make a makeshift futon for them. "I'm just glad you're alright, Kamiki-san," Pearl said, "Do you need something, water?" "That would be good," Jinbei said, "You don't have to be so formal with us, Pearl. We heard what you and Kenshiro said…last night. You're as good as our Granddaughter now." Pearl smiled as she got them their water, Kenshiro came downstairs to the living room and helped his Grandparents sit up while he and Pearl gave them their water. Five minutes later they heard the ambulance arrive. Medics came in and helped Jinbei and Kamiki onto the stretchers and into the ambulance. Kenshiro went in the ambulance with them, while Pearl chose to stay behind, there wasn't any room for her in the ambulance. After they left, Pearl realized she was covered in vomit, just like Kenshiro.
She went inside and headed to Kamiki and Jinbei's room, seeing all the vomit and blood on their futon and floor. The Majin girl steeled her nerves as she got to cleaning up the room as best she could until all the blood and vomit was gone, and put the blankets and pillows of the futon inside the washing machine and got it started. She checked the bathroom as well and cleaned up some vomit on the floor as well as the bathtub. The whole thing took two hours, after which she spent another hour cleaning herself up and changing into her purple Dyno-Wuu Gi with grey scarf and black gloves. She took her phone out and called Kenshiro. "Kenny, I cleaned up the mess and got cleaned up, how are Grandma and Grandpa doing?" she asked. "Tsubaki-sensei had to sedate them and put them on IV's for now, the medicine for curing Cashew Flu takes a few days to work. She said that if you hadn't healed their stomachs they would have died in another ten hours. Pearl, I can't thank you enough, I…I love you so much, for saving them…" Kenshiro sounded like he was on the verge of tears again, Pearl felt the same way but dried her eyes, "I'm just glad they're okay." "Pearl, there's nothing more you can do here, Tsubaki will handle things from here. You should go back to Conton City, make sure things don't go to Hell there," Kenshiro told her. "You're right. I'm going to come over to the Hospital, then head back to Conton City," Pearl said.
She packed up her spare clothes and pajamas, and ate her breakfast from the food from Shurayuki's funeral before flying off to the Hospital. She went in and asked about the room where Jinbei and Kamiki were resting in. The receptionist asked her, "Name and relationship." "Pearl, I'm well, a friend…" she said, not sure what to say. The receptionist called the room, "Kenshiro, we have a…girl named Pearl here to see Jinbei and Kamiki." "Let her in," Kenshiro said. "Third floor, room 24," the receptionist told Pearl, "Take a right from the elevator and keep going down the Hall." "Thank you," Pearl said and headed to the elevator, and from there she walked as fast as she could down the Hall to Jinbei and Kamiki's Hospital room. Kenshiro was waiting inside, he had taken a shower in the Hospital and was given some sweatpants and a sweatshirt to wear. The second she was in the room Kenshiro pulled her into a tight hug. "Pearl, thank you so much," he said as she hugged him back. "Kenny, I know I haven't known Jinbei and Kamiki long, but I love them, I'd never let anything happen to them," Pearl told him.
"Pearl," Kenshiro asked before letting her go, he got down on his knees and held her right hand, "I'm just me. I'm not the smartest man in the world, I'm not the richest man in the world, I can't give you beautiful jewelry, or anything more than what I earn with my sweat. But I can love you with all my heart, I can love our children with all my heart, will you be my wife?" Pearl's eyes widened and for five seconds the only sound in the room was of the machines administering medicine to Jinbei and Kamiki before she quietly said, "Of course I will." Kenshiro got up and kissed her, rubbing her cheek as he said, "In Cashew Village, a man has to make a necklace for his fiancé. We're not officially engaged until then. I promise, when I get back to Conton City, I'll have a necklace for you." "I know you will," Pearl said as she gave him one last kiss. She stepped away from him and said, "Take care of our family." She then Instant Transmitted back to Conton City.
Conton City: Jade and Brocc
Jade woke up in hers and Shurayuki's…her apartment. Her apartment. With Shurayuki gone, it was hers by herself. Jade wasn't sure what to do with herself now. Pearl had told her that Shurayuki chose to stay dead and remain in Heaven with her husband Shiro, Jade couldn't fault her for this. She only wished that she'd had more time to learn from the kunoichi. Jade shook her head and took a shower, there wasn't anything she could do about that now, she needed to focus now on the future. Her thoughts turned to Brocc, they hadn't made love since the Battle of Cashew Village. She remembered how everyone had posed for a blacksmith, so she could take pictures to make statues in their honor. The thought that she would have a statue in her honor put a smile on Jade's face, along with the knowledge that Shurayuki as well would be honored the same way. She also thought of how some Villagers tried to buy her alcoholic drinks, but Pearl, Kenshiro, Barit, Beate, Rachel, even Bage and Amaya stopped her from having any, the killjoys. Well, there are other ways to have fun… Jade thought to herself.
Brocc woke up in his apartment to the smell of bacon, among other breakfast foods. He got out of bed and cracked his neck, rolled his shoulders too. He wasn't worried, any idiot that wanted to take him on would get ripped apart by his new Super Saiyan 3 power. He opened his door to see the most delicious sight ever. Jade was bent over, showing her succulent ass for him, wearing nothing but a dark blue apron, cooking an omelet on his stove. She finished and turned around to look at him with a smile, "So, would you like a hot breakfast, a hot shower, or me first?" For a whole minute two of the three F Instincts in Brocc's brain fought for control of him until he said, "Breakfast first." "Go sit down babe," Jade told him, and he sat down at his small table. Jade put everything down, nearly enough bacon to make an entire pig, pancakes by the dozen, and an onion, cheese, and chives omelet. Once all the food was down Brocc pulled her into his lap, kissing her neck as he asked, "You eat yet?" "Yes," Jade told him.
He kept her on his lap the whole time he quickly ate, loving the feel of her soft, squishy, Majin ass the whole time. It didn't help that she'd wriggle said ass every few minutes, making sure he was ready for 'dessert'. Once all the food was gone he'd finally had enough, went Super Vegeta 2, pushed the dishes off the table, and put Jade on top, and got on top of her. He bit her neck at least a dozen times, he wasn't counting, before tearing his pajama bottoms off and penetrating her soft pussy. "OH DENDE! IT REALLY IS BIGGER!" Jade moaned as he pumped into her faster. "You better believe it! And you're taking all of it!" he said, "Cause! You're! My! Dirty! Girl! Aren't you!?" "YES YES YYYEEEESSSSS!" Jade yelled as he tore her apron off and started biting her breasts.
Two Hours Later
Barit was heading to Brocc's apartment to bring him out for training. He got to the door when he heard people yelling inside, and smelled sweaty gumballs. "Oh…fuck!" the Namekian said as he put his ear to the door, he heard furniture shaking and Jade yelling, "How is it so BBBIIIIGGGGG!?" Light shined through the door and she yelled more, he heard Brocc yelling too. The Namekian started to imagine the scene on the other side of the door, and quickly punched himself to get it out of his head. "Jade is gonna be walking funny for a while…" he said as he quickly left.
Barit
Barit headed straight for the Himura's apartment next, praying that they weren't screwing too. He knocked on the door and Kaoru answered it, she was wearing a yellow Training Temple Gi with brown leather straps on the chest keeping the silver medal on her, and black boots and wristbands. "Wow, Kaoru-san, you look like a warrior," Barit said. "Thank you, Barit-san, I've seen how dangerous the world is, I realize I need to become even stronger," she said, letting him in. "Have you eaten yet, we were getting ready for breakfast. Barit saw Kenshin was busy making rice balls with Kenji, Kenshin was wearing a red Training Temple Gi with black leather stripes and a gold medal, and brown boots and wrist bands, Kenji was wearing a Bardock Outfit, with the arm bands off so he could help Kenshin make rice balls. "I'm fine, thank you. I just came to see if you would like to train today," Barit said. "After breakfast, of course we will," Kaoru told him. "I'll be in the Bamboo District as always when you're ready," Barit said, and left their apartment.
His next stop was to Amaya's apartment. He knocked on the door and her brother Hirohito answered. "Are your sister and Bage here, Hirihito-chan?" Barit asked. "Yeah, she's 'nursing' him," Hirohito said, rolling his eyes. Barit went in to hear them in the bedroom, but he didn't heare any sex noises. He opened Amaya's bedroom door to see Bage was in bed, and she was feeding him some soup, Bage's little stunt of combining Super Saiyan 2 and Kaioken Times Twenty had messed his body up so much he had been pissing blood for the last two days. But what grabbed Barit's attention was what Amaya was wearing. The tall brunette was wearing white open toed high-heels, white stockings that led up to garters, and a small, tight nurse outfit that had a skirt so short Barit could see her panties, open to show her cleavage and the little hat on top. "Hello, Barit-san," Amaya greeted. "What the fuck are you wearing woman!?" Barit blurted out. "Watch your language," Amaya told him, "If you must know, Bage is still resting, so I decided to help him get better, Elder Kai suggested that this would help make Bage feel better." "And it definitely is," Bage finally spoke up.
Barit face palmed then raised his hand, "Yeah, not happening." Barit used Namekian Healing to finish Bage's healing, it took him ten minutes and left Barit surprisingly exhausted. "Get up, get some real clothes on, and meet me at the Bamboo District in an hour. And the next time Elder Kai suggests you wear something, Amaya-san, I suggest you ignore him," the grumpy Namekian said, and headed straight to the Bamboo District to start his stretches. After stretching for thirty minutes, Beate and Rachel arrived and started doing partner stretches, the two women wore white gi's, and Beate had a Ninja Katana on her back. While they stretched, Barit focused on practicing his forms, slowly as possible, letting his weighted clothes push him as he struggled against them. By the time everyone else, except for Jade and Brocc, arrived, wearing appropriate training outfits, he was sweating hard but felt surprisingly excited. "Alright, I know that we all miss Shurayuki dearly. She chose to stay dead, and we should honor that. I'm pretty sure she doesn't want us to spend our time mourning her for too long, I think that the best way to honor her is to make sure we keep getting stronger, and use that strength to protect the world. Right? That's why we're here, to become stronger and keep our world safe!"
It wasn't the best speech ever, but it was an honest one and everyone agreed. "I think we should just spar, test each other, push each other, to our limits!" Barit said. Just then, Pearl arrived via Instant Transmission. "Hey Pearl. We were just about to start sparring," Barit informed her, "How is Kenshiro?" Pearl sadly shook her head, "We had to take Kamiki and Jinbei in the Hospital today, they woke up puking blood." "HOW ARE THEY!?" "WHAT HAPPENED!?" "ARE THEY ALRIGHT!?" Everyone yelled at once. When they quieted down Pearl told them, "I managed to heal their stomachs to stop the internal bleeding, but the last I saw they had to be sedated and given the medicine for Cashew Flu. Tsubaki-sensei said that it'll be a few days before they're alright." "That's a relief, that it is," Kenshin said, and everyone agreed. "Well, we can't do anything for them, we're fighters, not healers," Barit pointed out, "Maybe later we can get them some 'Get Well' presents, but for right now, we should focus on our training."
Everyone agreed to this and powered up, for the next three hours they all sparred, taking five-minute breaks every hour to rehydrate and stretch their sore bodies. No one stopped, everyone was determined, the trials of the last few days had made them all strong in mind and body. Everyone was amazed at the progress Kaoru and Kenshin had made, though by the time they stopped, everyone was exhausted, laying on their backs as they struggled to breath. "Man, Kaoru, that kick actually hurt," Rachel complained. "Sorry," Kaoru apologized, "Got a little sloppy near the end." "You've gotten a whole lot faster, I had to struggle to avoid your Ki no Ken," Rachel complimented her. "Thanks, Pearl-san and Amaya-san were great sparring partners, really helped me improve," Kaoru said. "Glad to help," Pearl said. "Thank you, Kaoru," Amaya said, then turned to Bage. "Darling, you were amazing, the way you managed to pin me down was so… so…hot…" The woman was blushing as she said this, and Bage was blushing too. Pearl looked and saw Hirohito and Kenji were sparring as well, only basic things though. Hirohito was dancing rings around Kenji practically, with the young Himura growing increasingly agitated as Hirohito started taunting him, "You're so slow, you couldn't hit a milk cow. Or your Mom."
That one got Kenji royally pissed off as the child turned red, and his ki aura flared out, "Oka-san is not a cow!" Everyone was surprised and Pearl facepalmed as Kenji's ki aura grew and he blasted hundreds of ki balls around, trying to hit Hirohito. Hirohito only smiled as he avoided Kenji's attacks, but then was surprised when Kenji put on a burst of speed and head-butted Hirohito's face, breaking his nose. Kenji wrestled him to the ground and yelled, "SAY YOU'RE SORRY!" "NO!" Hirohito yelled as he pushed Kenji off of him. Hirohito's own ki aura glowed around him, much brighter and larger than Kenji's, but Kenji wasn't intimidated as he got ready to keep fighting, before Kenshin and Kaoru got to their son and Amaya to her brother. "That's enough!" the three adults all yelled. "That brat needs to learn his place!" Hirohito yelled. "He called Oka-san a cow!" Kenji yelled.
"That doesn't matter, your Oka-san is more than capable of fighting her own battles," Kenshin told Kenji, "You escalated the fight, and broke your friend's nose! That is no way for you to behave!" "Oka-san!" Kenji yelled, trying to appeal to his Mother over his Father. "Tou-san is right, Kenji. I've been called much worse things than that. But you broke his nose, therefore, you will apologize, or go to bed tonight with no dinner," Kaoru said instead. It was obvious to everyone that she was actually irked at being compared to a cow, but was keeping her temper in check. Kenji looked at his parents like they had slapped him, but angrily looked down and hid his eyes as he walked up to Hirohito, Amaya had already healed his nose. "I'msorryIbrokeyournose!" Kenji quickly said, and bowed. Hirohito looked smug, but the look Amaya gave him told him to wipe the grin off his face. Hirohito faced Kenji and bowed too, "I'm sorry I compared your Mom to a cow."
"Now that that is settled," Kaoru said as she went to Kenji, "Where did you learn how to use ki?" "Ryoshiro Nazo sent me scrolls," Kenji said, and quickly pulled one out of his Bardock Outfit to show her, "And Pearl-sensei taught me too." "Pearl? Why did you go behind our backs? You knew we didn't want Kenji to learn how to use ki!" Kaoru said, her anger turned to Pearl. Pearl swallowed and said, "He's so powerful! He needed to learn control! Also, Kaoru-san, with all due respect, I think that you're wrong to not let him learn. Kenji-chan is a prodigy! A credit to the human race! We face dark times now, and I'm afraid that worse lies ahead. Kenji-chan needs to know at least enough to protect himself." "She's right," Hirohito said, "You've seen the things that happen here. Do you really prefer Kenji didn't know how to protect himself?" Kaoru gripped the scroll Ryo sent Kenji tightly and looked down at it. She had a pained look on her face.
"You think I don't know that," Kaoru said. "I witnessed my best friends die at the hands of an unstoppable monster. I saw as all my students were slaughtered, and I was powerless to save them. Yahiko…he saved my only child, and paid dearly for it. Sanosuke bought us time to escape, but couldn't save himself. Tsubame…deserved better than what happened to her. And you are asking me to throw one of the only people…I have left…The one I love most of all…my only child…" Kaoru looked at everyone with angry tears in her eyes. She was not angry at them though, but at the cruel fate that had taken so much from her, and seemed to want to take even more. "Kaoru-san," Barit said, "I can't imagine the pain you've lived through. If I had a son, I don't doubt that I'd rather die a million, a billion, times before I saw him get hurt. But, the Universe is so uncertain…In the past, even children have had to fight great battles to save our World. I'm asking you, as a friend, forgive Pearl for this, and let her continue to teach Kenji-chan, for his sake as well as yours."
Kenshin went to Kaoru and held her hand. She gripped his hand tightly as he whispered in her ear so quietly only Barit heard it, "Kaoru-dono, for his sake, he needs to learn to grow strong. Pearl-san only wants the best for Kenji, that she does. If there was another way, this one would look for it and never stop, but this one cannot see any other way." Kaoru nodded and wiped her tears away, "We'll allow this, but, no more going behind our backs to train Kenji. You have to let us watch, whenever he is trained." "I understand," Pearl said, and bowed to the Himuras, "I will teach Kenji-chan to my best ability." "We all will help," Bage said, then turned to Amaya. "Right," she said. Everyone agreed, except for Rachel.
Barit was about to ask why she didn't answer, when a green portal opened and Praxtic came out of it, dressed, surprisingly, in an all-black suit. "Praxtic, why are you here?" Pearl asked the green-skinned half-Saiyan. "Before she passed away," Praxtic started, "Yuki gave me her Will. She wanted me to wait until everyone else she had named was given their inheritance, to save you, and finally, Kenshiro, for last. I'm here to give you your inheritances from her now." Everyone nodded at this as the mood grew more somber. Yuu took out two Capsules and handed one to Beate and one to Rachel. "I suggest you wait until you're in a private place to open those," Praxtic said, "Also, Rachel, I got your order here." Praxtic gave Rachel another Capsule, and she opened it to show two metal masks, they looked like some kind of exercise masks like athletes wore to simulate mountain conditions, and a portal gun like Praxtic used.
Praxtic turned to Kaoru, Kenji, and Kenshin then and took out another Capsule. He pressed this one and it showed a briefcase. He opened the briefcase to show it was filled with money! "Shurayuki wanted you to have three million Zeni from her fortune, to help you start over," Praxtic said as he closed the briefcase and gave it to an awestruck Kaoru. "How much money did she have!?" Hirohito blurted out. "After selling some things she wanted me to sell, and death taxes, Yuki's fortune was worth 800000000 Zeni," Praxtic said, "Thirty percent went to various orphanages and charities, then this goes to the Himura's, another one million to Takani Megumi, and the rest is Kenshiro's." "HOLY SHIT!" Bage yelled, "KENSHIRO'S FILTHY STINKING RICH!" Pearl fell down on her butt at the thought of anyone having so much money.
Praxtic took out another Capsule and pressed the button on it, to show a book. Praxtic gave the book to Pearl, it didn't have a title and looked very new. She opened it and read, 'To Pearl, the daughter I wish I had, and the wife my son will love forever.' Pearl turned the page and read it, then realized it was a book of poems. Some of the writing looked very old, the language and syntax were certainly old. "This is for you, with a message in the back." Praxtic said, and turned to everyone else, "She left letters for all of you in her gifts for you. Where's Jade?" "You call?" Everyone turned to see Jade walking over with Brocc, Jade was wearing her Academy Majin Clothes. Praxtic took out three Capsules and opened them all, revealing three scrolls and a book. "These are your inheritance from Shurayuki, they're scrolls of shinobi techniques and secrets she wanted you to know, the book is the code for reading them," Praxtic said. Jade stood up straighter and took the gifts. She closed her eyes and quietly whispered, "Thank you, Sensei."
Praxtic's last gift from Shurayuki was another Capsule that he gave to Amaya. "She said that you should open that in private, without Bage there," Praxtic told her. He gave Bage another Capsule and told him, "Same thing, open it when you're alone." "Got it," Bage said. "Well then, I guess that's that. Last stop is Kenshiro. See you later," Praxtic said, and left in another portal. No one knew what to say, when Kenji broke the silence and asked, "Why is Jade-san walking so funny?" Barit blushed and turned away, while Jade and Brocc gave really crooked smiles. "Let's say that we were doing some 'special training'," Brocc said. Everyone but Kenji understood the implication, and the child then asked Pearl, "Can I do special training with you?" "NO!" Pearl yelled loudly, then quickly said, "No, the special training they were talking about is only for grownups. You are too young, and your mind, spirit, and especially your body are not ready for it." "I understand, Sensei," Kenji said, and respectfully bowed to Pearl. Hirohito snickered at this, but kept his mouth shut.
"Well, it's almost time for lunch," Barit said, "I'm going home to eat, then I'm going to go see how Kenshiro is doing. Pearl, you up for that?" "Sure," Pearl said. "We'll stay here," Amaya said, then leaned on Bage a little. She whispered to him, "I want to try some 'special training' with you." Bage had a look of both hope and dread as he nodded, "Sure." "Nee-san, I'm going to stay in the City and train," Hirohito said. "Alright, but be careful," Amaya told him as she and Bage flew back to her apartment, while everyone else headed home to have lunch.
Conton City: Bage and Amaya
Bage got one of the biggest surprises of his life when Amaya more or less tackled him into her apartment once the door was open. The large Saiyan rose to her challenge and quickly got on top of her, kissing down from her lips to her neck, groping her large breasts through her clothes. Amaya moaned when he gave her a hickey on her neck and told him, "Not too hard, darling please." "Sorry," Bage said, then remembered her door was open and quickly shut it. He heard a sound like 'whoosh', then looked and saw that Amaya's clothes were on the ground, on a trail to her bedroom. Bage followed the trail, removing his own clothes as he went until he finally saw her on her bed, her long legs spread and her whole body open for him. She was like no other woman he'd ever seen before, her muscles were clear to see depending on how she moved her body, as she was now he could see her abs as well as the lean muscles in her shoulders and arms as well as her full bush between her legs. She was like a wild cat, sleek and powerful, or a War Goddess, her raw might only matched by her beauty. Bage took off the rest of his clothes as he got on top of her, kissing his way from her lips to her breasts as his hands caressed her stomach to her groin.
He petted her pussy, making her moan, "I didn't think you were so good at this." "Not my first time," Bage told her, sounding more confident than he actually felt as he started rubbing her clit. He kept on going, as Amaya groaned more loudly until she finally came. Amaya kissed him deeply and their tongues danced together, before she reached down her hand to his manhood. That was when she realized something. "Am I not good enough?" she finally asked with a confused look on her face. Bage grew pale when he realized what she was talking about. "No, no you're more than enough!" he told her, but then blushed as he got off and turned his back to her. "Talk to me, Bage, what's wrong? You were doing so good," she asked as she hugged him gently from behind. "I'm sorry, I just haven't been able…since that day," the embarrassed man told his fiancé. "I had hoped that I would be better by now. I'm sorry, it's not you, never you. I guess I'm broken goods." Bage left and got dressed again, leaving Amaya in her bedroom.
Amaya got dressed in her own clothes and remembered the Capsule Shurayuki had left her. She went to Bage as he started to leave and grabbed his hand, "Darling, this isn't your fault." Bage grunted in response. "Look, I want to at least have lunch, go get Hirohito and we can all eat together," she told him. Bage was quiet for a few seconds before he said, "Okay." Bage left to collect her brother, and Amaya quickly shut the door and opened the Capsule. It was a short scroll with diagrams of a man and a woman, it appeared to show them in stages of lovemaking. She read the descriptions, and then found a message at the bottom, from Shurayuki.
"To Amaya,
I know that Bage will act like he is alright, but I'm sure it will take him time. You, June, Pearl, Kenshiro, Barit, and everyone else have worked hard to help him get through this difficult time. But the fact remains that he was beaten and raped to within an inch of his life, not even a Saiyan can truly recover from this alone without their mind, body, or soul being wounded. If I am right, and Bage is unable to consummate your relationship, help him through with this. It may take time, but with love and patience you can help him, but for the sake of his pride do not reveal this to him. If I am wrong, and you can consummate, then burn this scroll and never speak of it to him, to at least spare him his pride. I hope that your lives together will be happy and fruitful.
Shurayuki."
Amaya quickly memorized the scroll and put it back inside its Capsule, putting it in her clothes then went to make lunch. She quickly made white rice with vegetables and beef, enough to feed all three of them. She just finished everything and set everyone's plates when Bage and Hirohito arrived. Bage was carrying Hirohito over his shoulder like a sack and was still sweating profusely when he sat Hirohito down. "What happened?" she asked. "Bage is more of a cow than Kaoru! He couldn't catch me without going Super Saiyan," Hirohito smugly said. "Kid was like smoke, every time I thought I had him, he was gone," Bage admitted, sounding impressed. "Don't forget, we do come from a family of warpers," Amaya reminded Bage, "shinobi warpers." "Had to use my Warper's Will on him to make him stop struggling," Bage admitted as they started eating. Halfway through Hirohito said, "So, how did your 'special training' go?" Bage ignored him and started eating faster while Amaya stopped. "That bad huh?" Hirohito said. "Hirohito, you are in for some special training yourself. You dropped your guard earlier and allowed a being weaker than you to break your nose. Because of this, you are going to do 100000 squat thrusts, pushups, and sit-ups to make you stronger, and then you are to meditate for three hours in the crane stance," Amaya told him. "WHAT!? A HUNDRED THOUSAND!? COME ON!" Hirohito yelled. "It can always be 200000, with weighted clothes, and eight hours of crane stance," Amaya said.
Hirohito opened his mouth, but saw the look his older sister was giving him, and wisely shut it. The rest of lunch was quiet, Bage trying and failing to forget his disfunction, while Amaya hoped her plan would work. Once lunch was over Amaya pulled out her phone and called Pearl. "Pearl-san, I've decided to discipline my brother for earlier. I want you to supervise him as he does one-hundred thousand squat thrusts, pushups, and sit-ups, and then meditate in the crane stance for three hours, could you do this for me?" "Alright, but Rachel told me, Barit, and the Himuras that she is going away soon for training, and she wanted to show us something before she left," Pearl told her. "Alright, then Hirohito can meditate for one hour then," Amaya said. "Alright, I'll be there," Pearl said, and hung up. The next second Pearl arrived through Instant Transmission. "Alright, Hirohito-chan, time for you to learn why its wrong to bully other kids," Pearl said. Hirohito grumbled, but took her hand when she offered it and they Instant Transmitted out of the apartment.
"I guess I'll go then," Bage said as he got up to go. "Hold on," Amaya said, "I want to try something first. Please." "Alright," Bage said, and followed Amaya back to her bedroom. "Bage, there is something I remembered, a way to help someone with your problem. I'd like to try it with you," Amaya said. "Alright," Bage said, blushing all over. "First, strip, then we'll get back on the bed," Amaya told him. Bage did as she said, as she stripped down as well and they both sat down on the bed. "I want you to touch me, that's all, except for my breasts, and here," Amaya indicated her groin, "You can touch me anywhere else. And then, I'll do the same for you." Bage quietly nodded, "Could you, do this first, to show me how?" "Of course, darling," Amaya said as she got closer to him and set her hands on his head. Slowly she drew her hands down his long hair, it was slightly past his shoulders. "Your hair is so soft, most men don't worry about their hair," Amaya said, "I like it." "I put a lot of effort into, everything," Bage said, lifting his arms to show more of his large and muscular body. Amaya honestly thought he might be as large as the long dead warrior Nappa, but a hundred times better looking.
She gently caressed his face, down his powerful chin, to his broad shoulders. She used both hands to touch his massive arms, first his left, and then his right. As she touched his right arm Bage admitted, "I still don't think of this as mine. Even though it regrew, it's not the same arm I spent so much time making it stronger, better." "I understand," Amaya said as she touched his hand, it was smoother than his left, not as rough and callused from years of training. From there she moved to Bage's large chest, feeling each muscle in his pecs and blushing as he flexed them slightly. She moved down to his abs, and passed his groin. "Bage, lay back for me," she told him. Bage did as she said, and she softly touched every quad, sinew, hamstring and calf muscle in his legs, admiring how much effort he had put into his body. "Flip over," Amaya said, and Bage did as asked.
Amaya sat on top of him and asked, "Is this okay?" "It's alright," Bage told her as she touched his massive back. Many muscles had been trained to perfection, and she noticed that he had an almost Christmas tree shape down his back, the gap where his muscles bulged out, and she noticed that the largest muscles in his body were the ones that actually were used to fight, not just every muscle was trained evenly. Bage truly had trained to make his body not just large, but also powerful, and efficient despite its size. Eventually she stopped at his glutes, and got off him. "It's your turn," she told him. Bage swallowed as his large hands nervously followed her example. He touched her hair first, and longest, enjoying its softness, before tracing over her face and shoulders. He stopped to admire the lithe grace of her arms, especially her surprisingly hard triceps, before moving down her sides, being sure to avoid her breasts, before again focusing on her abdomen. Every time she breathed he traced the lines of her abs as it showed, making her giggle a little. He gripped her hips and then her thighs.
"These legs, they're beautiful," Bage told her, "I can feel their power, like a bomb about to go off." "Thank you," Amaya said, "I worked hard on my body as well." "I can tell," he said as he traced her calves and her feet, feeling the minor imperfections of some toes out of alignment. "Does it hurt?" he asked her. "No, it's just what happens when you practice on your toes a lot. I have medicines for it," she told him as she flipped over. It was on her back that he spent even more time than her hair. "How did a guy like me get to know a woman like you?" he asked as he traced every curve of muscle on her back. "A lot of weird things happened," Amaya said. "Definitely," he sighed as he finished. "That's all for now. Tomorrow, if you want, we can do more, or we can stay at this phase, I don't want to rush you," Amaya told him. "How many phases are there?" Bage asked. "Four," she told him. "What's the next phase?" he asked. "We can touch anywhere in Phase Two," Amaya told him. "I'd like that," Bage told her. "Okay. But for now, I think we should get dressed, and go see Rachel before she leaves," Amaya said.
Bage nodded and they got dressed again, and headed out. They found everyone else, including June and her babies, at the Bamboo District as usual. Rachel was wearing a black leather jacket and shirt with black gi pants and black leather boots along with one of the masks Praxtic had delivered. "I'm glad you're here," Rachel said as they arrived. "What's this about, Rachel?" Pearl asked. "This," Rachel said, and lifted her hand to show golden energy crackling in her hand. "You might want to step back," Rachel said as she raised her hand, and then struck the ground with her crackling hand. The grass around her for ten feet stood rigid and crackled with the same energy. "Care to examine the grass?" Rachel asked. Beate walked up and tapped one blade of grass crackling with energy, and then lifted her finger to show it had drawn blood! "What is this?" Beate asked. "I've learned everything I could about vampires, from fiction and non-fiction. My awakening as a warper has allowed me to know and use different techniques throughout the Multiverse. In one universe, one that is fiction in our universe and called, 'JoJo's Bizarre Adventure', humans, through breathing a certain way, can create an energy called 'Hamon'. It can manipulate the world in amazing ways, but, best of all, it is also deadly for vampires, as Hamon is in the same wavelength as sunlight itself!"
"But, you're half-vampire! Does it not hurt you?" Kenshin asked. Rachel shook her head, "Vampires in our universe aren't hurt by sunlight, and I am also only half-vampire. Cashew Village taught me that I was relying too much on that vampire half, so now, I'm going to focus on my human half. This is something only one in ten-thousand can use efficiently, and it only works as long as I breath the right way, and oxygen flows freely through my body. It's risky, but I'm going to train in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, and then I'm going to test my power throughout the Multiverse, to prepare for Yuu Lupei." "Are you sure that this will work?" Barit asked her. "No, but if I'm right, I can enhance Hamon even more with ki, and create even more powerful techniques," Rachel said, "I've already gotten permission from the Supreme Kai of Time and Dende-sama to leave Conton City and use the Hyperbolic Time Chamber." "Then what are we waiting for?" Beate asked as she grabbed the other mask and strapped it onto her face. Beate started to turn blue before she found the right way to breath, and her own hands crackled with Hamon energy. "It's harder than it looks," Beate said.
"Baby, if you're serious, then we'll be wearing these masks all the time, unless we're eating or washing up, until our bodies do it on their own through muscle memory. Are you sure you want to do this?" Rachel asked. "Hell yeah I am!" Beate declared, then went up to Rachel and touched foreheads with her. "I am. I'm not letting you go on a vampire hunt without someone to back you up. Unless you knock me out right now, I'm going with you," Beate said. Rachel's hand flew straight to Beate's jaw, but the Saiyan quickly grabbed it. Their Hamon energy clashed and flashed even brighter than a Solar Flare. Beate smiled beneath her mask as she said, "Besides, I'm a lot stronger than you still. Face it babe, someone's got to cover your back when you travel the Multiverse." Rachel nodded, "You're right. I guess you better get packed then." "Already packed," Beate told her, and showed a pack of Capsules. "Alright then," Rachel said. Beate and Rachel turned to everyone and said, "See you later." They flew out of Conton City hand in hand, Hamon energy crackling in their ki auras.
"Man, that stuff sounds awesome," Kenji said. "It's also very risky, that it is. The entire style seems to focus on breathing, and one's breath is the hardest thing to control, that it most definitely is," Kenshin said, then he breathed and created Hamon energy himself. Everyone tried it, but after thirty minutes only Kenshin, Kaoru, Kenji, and June were able to do it effectively. "Well then, it seems that we're one in ten-thousand," June said. "I guess so," Kaoru said, "Though it'll be difficult if we train in this more, especially sparring with it." "I say do it anyway," Pearl said, "We don't know what Yuu Lupei might do. We might need this Hamon to protect everyone." "Very well," Kenshin said. Everyone decided to go their separate ways, but Bage stopped June. "June, can we talk?" he asked. "Alright," she said. "Well, the fact is…this is kind of awkward, but…I…was, sort of in love with you…" Bage tried to talk, but his foot was lodged too firmly in his mouth.
June sighed and said, "I'm sorry, Bage. But, even if Amaya hadn't shown up, my answer would have been no." "Wha…" Bage managed to get out. "I'm not looking for a relationship, I just…can't right now. You've been an amazing friend for me when I needed one, if things had gone differently, who knows, maybe these two," June indicated her babies, "Would have been yours. You don't owe me anything, but, if you can help when I ask, I'd appreciate it." "O-of course I'll help you, I'm kind of their legal guardian you know…" Bage awkwardly said. "Really has a way with words, doesn't he?" Hirohito said, still doing pushups. Amaya answered by putting her foot on her brother's back and pressing down on him. "Where are you at?" she asked. "Fifty-seven thousand and thirty-nine! Fifty-seven thousand and forty!" Hirohito answered as he struggled to continue his pushups. Once Hirohito's disciplinary exercises were done, everyone held Pearl's shoulders and she Instant Transmitted them all to Cashew Village to see Kenshiro.
Jasper
It was nighttime in Conton City, Jasper had been training, and 'training' with Cherry and Ivy all day, but he was still burning up with energy, he wanted more of a challenge. He had heard rumors about a gang in the Mushroom District and took them all on. He beat them all, except for their leader, Barack. He was on a whole other level, figured since he was a Majin too. Even Jasper's Pure Majin Form couldn't let him win, but he did make Barack work for his victory. "You got guts kid, no doubt about that," Barack told Jasper. "So, you really wanna join us?" "Yeah," Jasper smirked, "I'm bored out of my skull, and the Supreme Pink Loli says I can't go on Time Patrols since 'everyone already has a connection to Pearl' or some bullshit like that. Might as well make some cash the fast way then." "You're good kid, real good, welcome to the Nutz Gang," Barack said as the blonde Saiyan girl with a mohawk, Mitsuba, handed him a denim jacket. Jasper put it on bare chested and left it open.
Barack healed everyone, and Jasper turned to Mitsuba, "Hey, you got a boyfriend?" "No," she told him. "You want one," he asked. "No," Mitsuba said. "Wanna fuck anyway?" Jasper asked. Mitsuba looked him up and down, "Sure kid. My place, one hour." "Got it," Jasper said as she flew off. "Damn it," a guy Saiyan said, "She turns me down for months, but the second she sees you…" "Get stronger," Jasper told him, then headed to his own apartment to get cleaned up. After he showered, he looked in his mirror. For a second he thought he saw a purple aura around himself, but then it was gone. "Whatever," he snorted, and got dressed. He was gonna screw his first Saiyan.
