Kiyoshi was just looking forward not paying attention to them. She walked elegantly and made her way towards Theater class. Kody let Kiyoshi walk into the door first and went in right after her to cut off the three angry teen girls. This time Kody is sitting in front of Kiyoshi. Kody turned sideways in his chair so he can keep an eye on Kiyoshi till the teacher come into the room which wasn't a long wait. He had entered the room just as the bell rang.
"Okay, class today we are going to pair up and work on props, back drop and costumes for our play. Everything we need done is already on the black board. Now, action!" He left it at that and left the class to get to work on their own. Kody stands up and turns his desk around to face Kiyoshis desk.
"So what do you want to do Kiyoshi?" Kody asked her as he looked back to the black board. She looked around him to see what was there.
Work on back drop.
Sewing costumes
Making/painting props
Making stuff for the stage.
"I guess we can make and paint props." She said as she tapped a finger on her cheek.
Kody's point of view.
"Okay I'll go let the teacher know, and see if he has a list of what has been done or needs finished." I said and gotten up and walked over to the teachers desk. "For the props do you have a list of what needs to be done, Mr. Dawson?" Mr. Dawson looked up and smiled at me.
"Why, yes I do." He reached into a drawer in his desk and pulled out a piece of paper. "You can start by finishing that stuff over there." He pointed over to a box with a few things that needed to be painted by the door. "Those just needed to be spray painted either gold or silver. You and your partner can take them outside. Be sure to lay the on news paper or a box so the paint doesn't get on the side walk. Take your bags just in case you don't get back in time. Leave them there to dry as well." I nodded and walked over to get my bag then over to the box and looked over to Kiyoshi nodding my head towards the door signaling her to follow. She stood up with her bag and followed me. We had to go down stairs and outside just to do this. She followed me in silence. I had to look back at her to make sure she was still there. Of course she was.
She noticed my gaze over my shoulder. She smiled sweetly.
"Would you like for me to carry your bag since you are carrying that heavy box?" She asked timidly, casting her gaze nervously to the side. 'She's so cute when she's nervous!' I chuckled softly as I watched her.
"Sure! That would be a great help!" I said yes so I could see her reaction. Hoping it would be a cute reaction. Sure enough it was. She looked me in the eyes with her blue eyes twinkling with happiness she had a cute smile as well. I set the box on the floor so I could take my backpack off my shoulder and handed it to her. "Thanks, Kiyoshi!" She smiled brightly at me as she watched me pick the box up and continue walking again. I steal a glance back at her and see her hug my backpack to her chest, but wince slightly. 'Did she just wince in pain? Is she hurt somewhere?' I thought as I moved my eyes to look to the front. I really want to ask if she's hurt, but, remembered Double D saying she's been thought a lot the past week. So I decided I would wait till she told me, if she ever did.
As we made it to the door to head outside she rushed ahead of me to open the door. There was one strange thing I noticed though. She made no sound at all. Even with the backpacks. Now that I think about it she hasn't made a sound at all when I walked with her to classes. I'll wait for her to tell me about herself. The very last thing I want to do is push her away with a million questions. Now outside were they were spray painting the props. There lay a pile of news papers, all unfolded, and held down by rocks. She set our backpacks down a few feet away so they wouldn't get spray paint on them. She had stood up and slightly rolled her eyes then bent down to her backpack once move. She pulled out her phone and thumbed out a quick text. Then placed her phone back into the pocket it came from then looked to me and smiled.
"Sorry, someone sent me a text saying they will be unpacking a few things my father told him to get." She said as she walked towards me and kneeled down beside me. "Like my father he is a bit doting." I was happy that she was telling me a bit about herself, but to mention another man at her place, upsets me. However, I couldn't let her know that.
"Oh? He must be close to you then if he has a spare key. You know what he bringing you?" I hoped my questions didn't bother her in any way. I also hoped my voice didn't sound irritated. I looked over at her from the corner of my eye. It seemed like she was slightly nervous.
"He is close to me, but also close to my whole family. He is my father's best friend. So he is like a doting uncle. He is my guardian while I'm here in America. So he has a spare key so he can help me, and check up on me." She said and pulled out two unused doctor masks and cans of spray paint. Once she said he was like family, I felt relieved. I slowly took one of the masks and cans and smiled at her. She smiled back.
Just as we finished the last prop and laid it down, the bell rang. Getting our bags we head off to the locker rooms. On the way we see Kevin and Nazz talking. Nazz looked up and glared at Kiyoshi and slammed her body into Kiyoshi's right side. Kiyoshi's eyes grow wide she bites her bottom lip so hard it starts to bleed. All in vein. She let a grunt in pain and fell to a knee holding right under her right breast.
"Kiyoshi!" Both Kevin and I yelled. Kevin rushed over to her. "Are you okay?!" We both asked her at the same time once again. Kiyoshi just stood up running her hand along the wall as if to keep her up right. She walked into the empty hallway that led to the locker rooms. With her back to us she pulled up her shirt and I caught a glimpse of a bandage. I hear the sound of tape slowly being pulled from her skin. Then followed, a soft sigh of relief. She pulled her shirt down and turned to face us.
"What happed to your side Kiyoshi?" Kevin asked slowly. "I seen the bandages last night as you were getting dressed in your room. I'm sorry…" He said and looked away.
"I won't tell you right now. After school, come over to my house. I'll tell you both. Eddward already knows some of it. I told him last night, when he came over to check on me after I had my run in with you Kevin. He also helped me unpack." She said and turned to head into the girl's locker room. Kevin and I looked at each other.
"WAIT! You were spying on her while she was getting dressed?!" I said and pushed Kevin.
"It's not like I was sitting at my window all day just to watch. I walked over to my window to shut my curtains. I just happened to see!" He threw his hands up in defense. I backed away with a click of my tongue and walked into the boy's locker room. Kevin followed me apologizing. Once into the locker rooms I looked over to see the swim coach. He seemed pretty upset. I walked up behind him he was muttering to himself.
"Damn…can't swim today…" He said a name but I couldn't hear it.
"Coach, what are we doing today?" I asked him. He basically jumped out of his skin. He turned to look at me with a furious glare.
"Times, and practice your strokes." He said quickly and walked off in a huff. I hear the locker room door open and see Double D. He looks up at me when I walk over to him.
"Times and practice strokes are today's agenda." I said once I gotten to him. He smirked and nodded.
"I'll get to see Kiyoshi swim that's cool." I looked down and sighed.
"I don't think so. She has an injury." Double D creased his brows.
"How did you find out?"
"Well Nazz slammed into Kiyoshi's right side and bit her lip so hard she made her lip bleed. Kevin knows too. He seen it when she was getting dressed… in her room last night, from his window." I looked at Double D shake his head. 'I'm so jealous he seen her body before I did… Even if it was an accident…' I sighed to myself. I smack a closed fist into my open palm as if remembering something, as I was changing into my swimming attire. I didn't wear a speedo like Double D, but they were tight swimming trunks, without any pockets. "Oh, coach was upset Kiyoshi wouldn't be swimming today. He gave me a killer glare as well. He means business." Double D looked up at me as I told him about my in counter with the swim coach.
"I figured as much. She is a beautiful girl, Kody." Double D smirked at him then departed for the pool. I slowly followed after him. 'Now I have to worry about Edd? What am I to do?' I sighed to myself and looked up to see a few of the other swimmers talking to Kiyoshi. She still looked like she was in pain, annoyed as well with all the people around her. I walk over to her and gently put my arm around her shoulder.
"Come on now guys give the girl some breathing room." I smiled at them all then looked at her. She had a faint blush grow on her cheeks. 'I wonder what she's thinking…' I thought as I looked at her. Well it would come as a shock to any girl to have some basically naked guy throw his arm around a girl.
"Us give her some breathing room? Look how close you are to her." One of the people in the group says the rest chimed in with him. I removed my arm from her shoulders and laughed.
"Well we are friends!" I grinned broadly. "Right, Kiyoshi?" I looked at her still grinning. She nodded happy. A few people in the group looked at each other.
"So if she and I become friends I can put my arm around her too?" I froze for a moment. 'Damn I didn't think that through…'
The coach called for practice to begin. They guy that ask clicked his tongue and walked off. 'Saved!' I look at Kiyoshi and smiled she smiled back and went to sit down, holding her right side. 'Nazz must have hit her pretty hard for her to still feel it even now…' Double D walks over to me and places a hand on my shoulder.
"I'm pretty sure she'll be fine, Kody. I think she had been trained in the ways of ninja or samurai." I looked at him wide eyed. I probably wouldn't believe him if I didn't notice how she made no sound when she moved. "If you don't believe me you'll just have to go over to her house one of these days." He patted my shoulder again and walked off to get his times. 'It really explains a lot of things… That's probably why she was so confident taking three girls on at the same time… I feel her story will be one hell of story.'
After all the times were taken, Coach Brown blew his whistle, signaling practice was now over. People gotten out of the pool and headed to the locker rooms. Double D and I walked over to Kiyoshi and asked her to wait for us outside at her car. She nodded and headed out with her backpack.
As Kiyoshi walked out of the girls locker room to head to her car. She seen Nazz, and her two friends, walk past the hallway. She didn't think anything of it and just headed to her car. Little did she know that the three teen girls were heading to her car. However, the three teen girls plan would be ruined. Kevin was already at his motorcycle, waiting for Kiyoshi and Eddward. Once the teen girls arrived they noticed Kevin.
"Oh hey, Kev." Nazz said walking up to him. The other two followed behind her. Kevin looked up from his phone and seen his friend. Although he was confused why she was here.
"Hey, Nazz. What are you doing on this side of the school? You are parked on the other side of the school."
"Well Emma here wanted to kick, Kiyoshi's ass. Emma takes karate, so it'll be no problem for her." Nazz said and grinned as she pointed to a girl with brown hair and brown eyes. Kevin shook his head and sighed then. Kiyoshi just shook her head and walked over to her car, setting her backpack inside.
"Well if she wants to fight, then okay. I'll fight. I won't do it at school though. You can meet me at my house. She will need someone to pull me off. There is only one person in this town that can. If it lasts that long anyways." The teen girls and Kevin jumped to the sudden voice. Kiyoshi turned to look at the three teens. Then turned toward Kevin. "Still coming over today?" Kevin smiled and nodded.
"Sure am. I'm rather curious about what you have to tell Kody and myself." The teens looked at Kevin stunned.
"I bet she's just a whore who's trying to get you both to bang her." Emma walked between the two talking. Kevin just sighed.
"Well you are the one to talk, Emma you tried to get me and another guy to bang you." A familiar voice boomed beside Kevin.
"Kody! Edd! What are you two doing over here?" She asked and ran over to Kody.
"Well, Double D is parked on the other side of Kiyoshi and I'm parked next to him." Kody and Eddward walk over to Kiyoshi and stand in front of her. "So what's going on Kiyoshi?" Kiyoshi just giggled softly and tilted her head to the side to look past the two boys, towards the three teen girls. In almost creepy threatening motion.
"Emma here is supposed to fight me here. I suggested if she wanted to fight we do it at my house so there will be someone that can stop me." Kody knowing who she was talking about nodded. "So, I'll be waiting at my house. Feel free to come. I live next door to Eddward. In case you didn't know." Nazz clicked her tongue and stomped her foot.
"We will be there. Just you wait." With that the three girls left.
Kiyoshi sighed softly and walked over to her car. She stopped at the driver side door and spoke without looking back at the three boys who stood near her.
"If they do show up and the other two jump in to help Emma. Please don't interfere. A fight probably won't happen. I'm in too much pain to fight. Beside if I fight I could hurt them pretty badly. You'll see why when you come to my house. Although I'm pretty sure Eddward has a pretty good idea." She pulled her keys from her pocket and got in. She started her car and drove away. After Kiyoshi's car was out of sight, Kevin turned towards the other two.
"So why do you think she's so confident Dork?" Eddward glared at Kevin as he heard the nickname.
"Well, when I went to her house and helped her unpack. She had three Japanese swords mounted above the fire place. I'm sure Kody has noticed this by now as well. When she walks or moves around. She makes no sound. As I told Kody earlier I think she was trained to be a ninja or samurai." Kevin crossed his arms and began to think.
"Well I wouldn't believe you if I noticed her when she first showed up. I didn't notice her till she was behind me." Kevin looked at the two. "Well, we need to head to Kiyoshi's house." Kevin said and mounted his motorcycle putting on his helmet and starting the engine. Kevin backed up and drove away. Kody and Eddward walked to their cars and left the school to head to Kiyoshi's house.
At Kiyoshi's house, the three boys met in her front yard while they heard her yell.
"OUCH, BAKA! That hurts! Let me go!" The three boys looked at each other in shock then took off towards the door. Busting open the door and ran into the living room. Seeing, an incredibly handsome man with blond hair pinning Kiyoshi down on the floor with her shirt lifted up. Kiyoshi's hands pinned in one of the hands of the man. Him straddling her hips. The three boys stood there in shock. Kody was the first to break away from the shocked state. He ran over and pulled the man off of Kiyoshi and reared his fist back getting ready to slug the man in the face.
"Wait! Kody! Don't do that. It's not what it looked like." Kiyoshi couldn't move from her position on the floor. Eddward rushed over to her and helped her sit up. Kevin rushed over to Kody and pulled him away from the man. "He was just looking at my wound. He ripped the tape off really fast. Besides if you gotten in a fight with him you would have lost…" The eyes of the three boys moved to look at the blond haired male.
"Well let me introduce myself. I am Daniel. The best friend of her father. Her guardian while she's here in America. As she said you would have lost in a fight with me. You should pick your battles more wisely young one." His voice gentle and cheerful As he spoke he stood up, fixing his shirt. "Like her father I am a master." When he says that. they look at him very confused.
"To put it simply: He is a very skilled fighter, and has learned all that there is to learn in the field of martial arts." Kiyoshi said walking over to stand next to Daniel, while holding her side. Daniel took her by the shoulder and led her over to the couch and gently made her lay down. He lifted up her shirt making sure not to reveal anymore of her skin than necessary. He continued to examine and clean the wound.
"It's bruised. What happened?" His voice was now very stern. He still continued to put a new bandage over the wound as he waited for an explanation.
"Well ther—" Kiyoshi's voice was interrupted by a loud knock on her front door. Kiyoshi sighed and stood up going to answer the door. Slipping on her shoes, she opened the door and there the three teen girls stood. They tried to push their way inside but Kiyoshi stuck her arm out to stop them. "Sorry you cannot enter my home without my permission." Nazz clicked her tongue and stepped back to the yard. The other two followed. Kiyoshi followed them out to the yard. Followed by the teen boys and Daniel.
"Be careful, my dear." Daniel's gentle voice sounded behind Kiyoshi. She looked back and nodded. She walked to the middle of the yard to Nazz and other two.
"Look she really is a whore." Emma giggled, elbowing the other girl with long red hair. "But hey, he is good looking. Right Shelby?" Shelby nodded in agreement.
"Sorry girls. I'm her guardian." Daniel smiled sweetly but that smile didn't reach his eyes. He crossed his arms. Emma and Shelby seemed to shrink under the cold eyes of Daniel's.
"So this is the person you were talking about? That will pull away if things get out of hand?" Nazz stepped up and looked at Kiyoshi.
"So to speak." Nazz clicked her tongue and nodded to the other two girls. Emma walked up, popping her knuckles. Shelby also started to walk over getting ready to fight. Kody clenched his fists and took a step, but was stopped by a hand on his shoulder. Looking back he seen Daniel. Daniel shook his head. "Before you fight me would you like to hear a story?" Kiyoshi asked as she watched to two teens close the distance between them.
"We don't care to hear your story." Emma said and ran over and threw a punch. Kiyoshi leaned to the side and moved the punch away with a quick graceful push. Emma growled as her punch was easily dodged.
"I will tell you anyway. There was a family who lived in Japan. A grandmother, a mother, father, a daughter and a son lived happily. Till one day. The grandmother called the rest of the family into her room." As Kiyoshi spoke she dodged and blocked punches and kicks from the two teen girls. She continued to speak as if blocking and dodging were nothing to her. "Once the whole family was in the room. The grandmother spoke of treasures that been passed down the years. Letting the rest of the family know her time in the world was coming to an end. The grandmother handed the box with the treasures in it to the granddaughter. The mother was furious. So furious, something inside the mother snapped. Later that night the daughter woke up and headed to the bathroom only to see her mother walking down the hall with a Wakizashi in hand. The mother tried to kill her daughter. The daughter escaped the mother with a wound on her right side. Soon after her father told her to pack her things so he could send the daughter away, so her mother couldn't find her. He sent the daughter to America." Emma and Shelby slowly stopped their assault of punches and kicks and dropped their hands to their sides. Kiyoshi took that as her chance to lift up her shirt to show the bandage on her right side.
