Chapter 5- Job and Cause

They made it outside of the store and saw a girl on the ground. From the looks of it she was around 16 or 17 years old. She has brown long hair and she is wearing a green shirt, blue jeans, sneakers, and an apron. Then they saw a group of people behind her.

"Let this be a lesson to you girl," said a man, "No matter how hard you try, your store is nothing but trash."

They saw this and Shouhei decides to stop this at once. "Hey what's going on here?"

"Huh, who the hell are you boy?" The group saw that he was wearing the same apron as the girl. "So you working for her are you?"

Shouhei then looked at apron and then he realize that this could mean trouble, but that didn't bother him at all. 'So does this mean that there is a big rivalry between stores?' "So what if I am, what are you going to do about it?"

Hazuki and Michio were shock when they heard his answer. "What did you just say Shouhei?" said Michio, "You just realize what you just said, right?"

"Yeah Shouhei, do you know what you are doing?" said Hazuki.

"Yes, I do know what I'm saying and I don't care. Helping other is one of the paths I have chosen and I'm sticking to it," he said with a confident smile.

"What are you doing?!" said the girl," are you trying to get yourself killed?!"

Shouhei walked up to the girl and help her up. "Don't worry, I dealt with this stuff before, so calm down and let us handle this."

"And how are you going to do that?! These guys aren't fooling around to begin with and they have weapons as you could see. So how are you going to settle this then?!" the girl ask.

"Just wait and see," he said," Hey Michio come here."

"Yeah yeah, I'm coming." They could see that his face turn into a boring expression and mix with a bit of worry. "Ok so what's the plan this time?"

"Oh that's easy. You know that move we made a long time ago?"

"Yeah, wh…Oh don't tell me."

"Yes, we are going to do that here and now."

"I don't even know why we made that move in the first place," Michio said with an annoying face.

"I made that move because I was bored and you know what happens when I'm bored right?" Shouhei said.

"Yeah I know. Let's just get this over with already."

"Hey what are you kids talking about huh?! You think you can solve this on your own, well you wrong. Looks like we have to give you kids a beating to understand who you're messing with," one of the man said. The man was about 5' 10", has brown hair and brown eyes, and around his 30s. The man is wearing brown pants, white collar shirt, and nice black shoes.

"Easy there old man, maybe we can work this out," Shouhei said.

"I don't think so young man," the man replied. He then charged at them.

"Steady, steady…NOW!" Shouhei said as he moved. Michio moved ahead of him and was running to the man with great speed. As they got closer it looks like they were about to collide with each other. Right when they were about 3 feet from each other, Michio jumped over the man. The man was distracted by Michio that Shouhei took this chance to use it. He started to moved close to the man while he was distracted. Then his arm reaches forward and then…he quickly took the man belt from his pants, which resulted as the man pant fell.

"Ew, disgusting. Shouhei, why did you have to do that?" Hazuki cover her eyes," Oh god I think I'm blind."

"Oh my god, why the hell would you do that?" the girl cover her eyes as well.

"Well would it be better if it was a real fight?" Shouhei said.

"You do have a point, but that does mean you can do something like this," Hazuki pointed out.

"Why you little brats," the man said as he was pulling up his pant," don't think this is over yet. We'll be back and next time you're going to pay for this." Then he and his group left.

"See, the plan work," said Shouhei.

"Yeah, yeah, anyway are you ok, ummm what is your name?" Hazuki asked the girl.

"Oh my name is Watanabe Hoshi (star), thank you for helping me back there," she said.

"Hello there Watanabe-san, my name is Suzuki Hazuki, but you can call me Hazuki and these are my friends."

Shouhei and Michio walked up to the girl to introduce themselves. "Hi my name is Taki Shouhei, but just call me Shouhei since I don't like formality that much, and this is my best friend Yoshida Michio."

"Hi there and call me Michio as well."

"Nice to meet you all and you can call me Hoshi then, but can I ask you guy's one think?"

"Yeah sure, what is it?" Shouhei asked.

"Why are you guys wearing the store apron?"

"Oh about that well since no one was watching the store, we thought we could help until you got back."

"Oh well thanks for watching the store while I was gone."

"Hey no problem, we just like to help," Hazuki said.

"Can I ask you guys another thing?"

"Yeah, what is it?" Michio ask.

"Can you guys come here and help me with the store?"

"Well it depends on what days are we avalible," Shouhei answer her.

"Wait why are we doing this?!" Michio shouted.

"You heard them, those guys are coming back and we have to help her," Hazuki answer back, "and besides, maybe working at this is would be fun."

Shouhei walked next to Hazuki, "Yeah, I think this store will bring a lot of good memories if we work here and have fun."

Then they looked at Michio and saw him grumbling about something and then he said, "Fine, I guess, but I'll work on my time."

"Sure that's ok with me," Shouhei said, "How about you Hazuki? Are you ok with that?"

"Well as long as he is working, I guess its ok."

"Really?! Thank you very much for helping me," Hoshi said.

"It's really no problem at all, we just like to help," Shouhei said, "Well its looks like we have to go now, so will see you tomorrow then Hoshi."

"Oh ok then, just try to be here after school."

"You got it and will make this the most popular store ever in Tokyo!" Hazuki said with fire in her eyes. (A/N: you can really see the flames 0.0)

They say their good-byes and went to Shouhei house for dinner. To get there they took the train and then a cab to reach his house. When they got there, Hazuki was amazed at the size of the house. "Wow this house is big!"

"Come on, it's not that big at all," Shouhei replied.

"Not that big, it's my first time seeing a house like this."

"Well let's just go in, I'm sure my mom is going to be home any moment, so I better make dinner."

They started to walk towards the house and when Shouhei unlock and open the door, he was sent flying by a flying kick in the face. "WAHHH!!!" he screamed. Then he looked up and saw his mom. "Shouhei where the hell have you been?! I've been waiting for about 20 minutes and I'm hungry as hell!!"

Then she turned and saw Hazuki, "And who is this son?" "Man first you beat me for no reason and now you're asking me this out of the blue. Her name is Suzuki Hazuki and she is a transfer student at my school. The reason why I was late was because I was showing her around."

"Oh ok then, well hurry up and make us food already."

"What?! No apologize for that kick?!"

"No, now make us FOOD!!!"

"Fine, fine," he said as he got up and went to cook them dinner. Once he was in the Kitchen, his mom wants to know more about Hazuki. "Michio can you also help Shouhei cook?"

"Sure," he replied and then he left.

"Now that it's only us that are left, I want to talk to you Hazuki."

"Talked about what?" Hazuki asked.

"Well let me introduce myself first. My name is Taki Mai."

"Nice to meet you, so you were saying about something?"

"Well it's about…." But before she could finish her sentence, someone knock on the door. "Well I wonder who that could be."

Shouhei mom went to answer the door. When she opens the door something had happen to her. "AHHHHHH!!!!!!" was the last thing they heard from Shouhei mom.
