Helios: Like Keni…
Tanimoto: NO
Helios: But…
Tanimoto: NO!
Helios: Screw you I have plot!

Chapter 2
Secondary characters are fun!
While Tanimoto was trapped in a state of denial, our former main character Kenichi Shirahama was running from nothing through a street. At least it looked like nothing. Because to the human eye Apachai running through the streets is about as noticeable as… well… something not noticeable. As Apachai got closer, bringing with him the sounds of APAPA no less, Kenichi barreled around the corner and threw himself into the river. He had improved in martial arts and was now capable of running away from masters. Not that it stopped him from complaining…
"Whew, I got away" said Kenichi, while standing in raw sewage
Now as to why Kenichi was standing in sewage the reason was simple. Miu's birthday was soon. Of course, young Kenichi wanted to get a gift for her. His masters however… well they really didn't think another of Kenichi's attempts of wooing Miu was worth skipping on training.
"This time I will win her heart for sure" Kenichi said in a unusually positive tone
"Or not…" Much better
So after playing denial for a few minutes Kenichi left the river and began walking down the street. He had no problems getting to his destination, which may have something to do with the fact that he smelled so bad not even YAMI would bother attacking. Well to be fair Silcardo might…
"I'm here" Kenichi said standing in front of a pet shop.
Miu you see loved cats. So it was Kenichi's plan to buy her one. Why he didn't get one of the street is beyond me but then again that's Kenichi for you.
"Excuse me miss" Kenichi said to the shopkeeper
"Yes?"
"Do you have any cats?
"Of course, down the aisle pass the piranhas"
"You sell piranhas as pets?
"You do your business I will do mine"
"Right…"
So kenichi walked past the piranha, still somewhat confused, and reached the cats. There many varieties including Siamese cats. But kenichi found one that he knew was perfect. A black and gray tabby looked at him expectantly, realized he was uninteresting and went away. Come to think of it so would I…
"Miss how much is the tabby"
"Fifty"
"So much!"
"Blame the economy"
"But were not even in a depression!"
"But the US is"
"So, besides its recovering!"
"The author lives there"
…
"The who?"
"Forget it"
"Right…"
Kenichi left the pet store and the very self aware saleswoman in a depressed state
"HEY KENICHI!"
Kenichi turned around and who should be there but Renka Ma.
---000000---
Let's go back a bit. Renka Ma is the daughter of one of Kenichi's masters, Kensei Ma. She also had a large crush on Kenichi. She knew of course that Kenichi had a crush on Miu but that didn't stop Renka from trying. This morning however Renka was feeling somewhat depressed. She had been friends with kenichi for a while but had made no progress in making him fall in love with her. She even moved to his school to spend more time with him!
She maintained this dreary attitude for most of the morning, to the point that she almost forgot to put her bells on. Putting on one of her revealing dresses she left her house and walked numbly down the street. Much to her surprise she saw kenichi leaving the pet shop owned by that really odd lady.
"HEY KENICHI!"
And we are back in 3,2,1…
---000000---
"Hey Renka"
"What are you doing?"
"Nothing"
"But you came out of the pet store"
"Yeah I was trying to get a cat for Miu but I couldn't afford it"
Miu again! Just what Renka needed, Kenichi thinking about Miu! But wait, she had an idea. This wasn't the most honest idea or the most correct, but it was an idea.
"I can lend you the money" Renka said
"REALLY!" exclaimed Kenichi
"Sure, only if you grant one wish of mine"
"Fine, whatever" he said so fast it would have made Nijima proud
"Deal!" she said triumphantly
She loaned him the money and he went back inside
"I want to buy that cat" he said pointing to the tabby
"Fine, but how did you get the money?" the saleswoman asked
"Oh, I borrowed money from Renka and all it cost was one wish" he said thinking how smart he was
"And what wish was that?"
"It was…um…she didn't say. Ah…."
What an idiot.
As Kenichi stood there with a stupefied expression on his face he didn't notice Honoka running past the store with a supremely embarrassed look on her face. She bumped into a small girl as she ran who looked at her with a deadpan expression on her face.
"I do not comprehend" she said with a bored tone
She looked forward and noticed a candy store.
CHILD MODE ACTIVATED
Tanimoto: what the hell is wrong with you?
Helios: What?
Tanimoto: Last time I checked this was about Honoka and me! Not kenichi and all the other idiots!
Helios: So you admit there is something between you and Honoka!
Tanimoto: Shut Up!
Helios: As to your former question, I needed to establish all the players. Renka, Kenichi, Miu, Chikage, Takeda…
Tanimoto: I get it.
Honoka: Well I like it!
Tanimoto: Fine then, Helios continue…
Helios: Wow you are whipped
Tanimoto: URYUU BANDA!
Helios: STAY BACK! I HAVE PLOT!
Will Kenichi regret borrowing from Renka? Will Takeda appear at all? Who is stronger Chinese Kenpo or Plot? Why am I asking YOU?
Saleswoman: Because you lonely
Helios: Shut up you…
