It took me hours just to limp back to the Tendo dojo, after all being blasted away by a Cero point blank would have killed anyone else but, I'm not anyone else, I'm still alive after all, the most damage I got was a sprained left ankle from landing incorrectly (besides pretending to lose isn't as easy as it looks, trust me). That guy had bad timing though, I was about to convince the old pervert to answer my questions, when the guy pops out of nowhere attempting to kill me, he surprised me with his speed but, like the others he doesn't have any imagination to come up with his own moves. Maybe giving him the pathetic bastard act was a bad idea (I did piss off a lot of people like that) but acting so serious over a DVD collection is such a childish move (as if I have any right to talk like that, I do almost anything for video games) I made it to the front door entering the house only to be greeted with silence, right now from the looks of things everyone must be asleep. I was about to continue go go on upstairs when I felt a presence being emitted from the dojo, out of curiosity I went to the dojo, what I found should have surprised me, oddly enough it didn't.
Kasumi Tendo was practicing her Kendo skills (I suspected there was something dangerous hiding beneath that nice girl demeanor) she moved with the skill that could only take years of dedication, fine tuning her skill to the point where no person could match that very speed without enhancing their bodies with Ki. As I watched her, entranced in the way she swung that sword, I realized something, she wasn't generating the usual battle aura that many people do when they do their katas.
I decided to take the risk, despite the pain in my left ankle, I stood ready to catch her bokken. She swiped and I caught the wooden blade and yanked it out of her hands, I looked into her eyes and when she looked back her eyes held a glassy look and she wasn't even focused on me, for gods sake she's a sleep fighter just like Akane, does this run in the family or something? (I hope not.)
I looked into to her eyes again to make sure she was awake, it was about five seconds when her eye's began to focus on me, "Oh my! Hero-kun, I thought you were with grandfather Happosai." of course I decided to tell her what happened to me. She pretty much gave a stern look, "Hero-kun it isn't nice to tease people like that, even if you were playing around." I sighed, "Please don't call me that Ms. Tendo."
"What do you mean, Hero-kun?" Kasumi cocked her head to the side in confusion as she asked.
I sighed, "Please don't call me "Hero-kun" it feels weird just being called by my pen name." Kasumi has a pensive look for a few seconds before asking, "Then what should I call you?" I quickly answered, "Just call me Alex, that way you can at least differentiate between me and my alternate self when you want to call either of us." I was about to go upstairs when Kasumi asked one last question, "I didn't hurt you did I?" I shook my head in response, as I went upstairs and entered what I assumed was a guest room and slept on the floor.
/the next day/
I woke up to the sound of silence, very unusual. I decided to check the clock for the time, it's about nine in the morning (A bit early by my standards) I went to the dining room only to find out that four people are missing, "Excuse me, Kasumi where's my alternate self and her friends?"
Kasumi gave me a blank look before quickly realizing who I was referring to, "Oh your sister and her friends, went to Rio de Janeiro, I heard it's quite nice at this time of the year." I flinched when she said "sister" of course, Kasumi noticed my flinch and explained, "You are the same person as Maria-chan, right?" I nodded at that, "So, it's very easy to see you as her twin brother, if I had the both of you stand side by side."
Of course, after her short but eye opening explanation, a whole new set of worries crept into my mind unfortunately all I could do now is worry since that guy is already long gone, if he comes back and anything inappropriate happens to my sister, he will find out how much tolerance I gave him in the last battle that driving a sword in his stomach would be easily comparable to a heavily censored G rated film. I felt Kasumi place her hand on my own, feeling a little at peace to know, I wasn't the only one who was worried.
