Chapter 3: Training and determination

Chapter 3- Intermission: Unveiling some secrets

This chapter pays respect to 9/11 victims

Time to answer some questions.

To PMiller: Thanks for reviewing and it wasn't a staff it was a steel rod which hurts A LOT. It's like beating someone up with a crowbar but worse :( The sleeping pills are because: one if she didn't Neku would probably go train when he has to recover at least a little bit. And two it is kind of pain pills. Also I do write it in an anime/manga way since I actually imagine it as a manga first before I write it down in word form. Now only if I could actually draw it…

To cherrysoda: THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! It is supposed to be 'his hand from her face' and I'm thinking of retyping it, but not now though. It also is supposed to be 'he chuckled as he walked away'. Don't spoil who she is! Of course she may be, she may not be XD

To Paula4e: Thanks for reviewing! TWEWY is awesome :3

To not so Strange: Thanks for reviewing and yes I am young, I'm 12 about to turn 13. I also like the way I try to portray beat :D

To jolteonforever: Thanks for review and Neku fights are AWESOME.

As you all know school is starting and I have to prepare for the SHSAT so I might not update much. Now let's move on to the story!

…………………………………………………………

Kemurai stared at the sleeping boy on the bed.

He reminds me so much... Of him...

She then remembered the other girl named Shiki who visited and smiled inwardly.

I can't believe they don't see their love for each other! Such young love. Walking out of the room she was surprised to see Shiki sitting against the wall near the door but fast asleep. Kemurai smiled and picked Shiki up to set her on a chair in her office. Grabbing her handbag and a blanket she draped it over Shiki, and then walked out of the office, closing the door silently behind her. Kemurai suddenly began to walk briskly once she was out of the school building and seemed to be searching for something.

Where is it? The building is supposed to be around here... Could he have- her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the song 'Wind' by Jay Chou. Searching through her handbag she saw the caller ID as 'brother'. Kemurai scowled slightly and flipped open the phone angrily.

"Hello?"

"Brother! Our stupid nephew is being an idiot again!"

"What did he do this time?" the voice on the line asked.

"He beat up someone at school and apparently challenged this boy for a fight! The guy has a broken shoulder for gods sake!"

"What?! He has to-"

"AND also he threatened that he would expel this girl who he wants to go out with!"

"That stupid-"

"AND it's so obvious that the girl and boy love each other but won't admit it! I want to help them and I need you to do that."

"Ok ok, calm down. Sure I'll help you. Brother spoils that kid way too much. Also is there anything special about the boy?"

"Why? Are you not going to help him because he's not one of your prodigies?!"

"No! I wouldn't be so cruel. I just was curious because you seem to be angrier than usual."

Kemurai stopped walking suddenly and she lowered her head.

"He... he reminds me of him"

The man on the other side of the phone sighed.

"Just forget about him Akiko. Who knows where he is now? He could be dead for all we know!"

"I know that Akira. But still... I can't help it..." Kemurai then sniffed slightly from the tears forming in her eyes.

"I'm sorry Akiko, I know it's a sore subject for you. I'm sure he's ok, somewhere, somehow."

"Thanks Akiko! I have to go now though. Bye!"

"Bye Akira."

Kemurai then snapped her phone close and stuffed it back in her bag. She walked into a decent sized apartment building and walked to the second floor. Waving hi to anybody she knew that passed by she quickly arrived at her apartment number 208. Once again searching through her burgundy, very beat up handbag, she found no keys at all.

"Great. Now I have to look for the spare." Kemurai then leaned down and stuck her hand under the door to try to find the rug that was always near her door. Finally feeling the soft plush texture she searched blindly until she felt the cool metal brush against her fingers. Grabbing it quickly she got up and unlocked the door with her newfound key. Opening the door she was surprised no, shocked to find her nephew on the couch.

"What are you doing here?!" she hissed angrily.

"Is that any way to treat your dear nephew?" Kisuga smirked.

Kemurai scowled and stomped over to the couch and put her hands on her hips.

"What the hell do you want."

"I hear you're helping Neku recover?"

Kimurai looked at his face to see it as unfazed and 'cool' as ever.

"What's it to you? Do you see him as a challenge to go ask me?"

"I-"

"So have you gotten insecure now dear nephew of mine?" Kemurai smiled mockingly.

"Like I'm insecure about that fool! He's no challenge to me, I just wanted to know if you were talking with him since, he is my enemy." Kisuga then stood up to glare mockingly back into her eyes.

"Of course it's just like you to communicate with the enemy. Could it be he reminds you of him-"

SLAP

Kisuga's face was shocked as Kemurai looked furious.

"I may be able to tolerate you because of your father but you do not talk about him."

Kemurai then grabbed his arm, dragged him over the door and promptly kicked him out. Kisuga scowled and walked away while dusting himself off. He could use his dad to convince his uncle so he could threaten other people but he couldn't threaten his aunt. They were twins for god's sake! But his dad on the other hand… Exiting the building, he flipped open his cell phone to call a certain person….
