Tail 6: Kyoto no Hime
"Here we are," Yuji smiled, "Kyoto!"
The girls woke up. The drive had taken hours so they all slept in the car. However, it was really an amazing sight to see. Despite being in the 23rd century, Kyoto had not lost its traditional and historical areas. The modern area has been greatly modified overtime, but the historical district remained the same with wooden shop houses. Some people considered it retro.
"So, what should we do first?" he asked.
"I'm kinda hungry," Michiru groaned, "Let's stop for some lunch!"
"Yeah, food!" Riza cheered.
"Lunch it is then," he nodded.
Driving through the Modern District, Yuji spots a restaurant and parks with everyone piling out. Riza was drooling with anticipation. They entered, watching as people were served by young women in kimonos.
"Welcome," a girl smiled, "Table for 6?"
"That's right," Yuji nodded.
"Right this way," she guided.
This was of course the first time for the girls to be in this kind of restaurant, with the exception of Hana, but that was during her date with Yuji when they had been ambushed. Misato and Michiru had managed to sit next to Yuji, with Ruby giving them a bit of a sour look. Hana thought it was simply childish but bore no ill will toward them for wanting Yuji's attention.
An elderly woman approached their table, dressed in a lavender kimono and a red obi. Her gray hair was tied in a bun.
"What would you youngsters like?" she asked with a smile. She gasped when she saw Michiru, dropping the tray n her hands. "It can't be... Mi-Michiru-chan...?"
Michiru gasped, "Obaa-chan? Obaa-chan!" She cried into the woman's chest as she embraced her. The woman joined in the crying as she was reunited with her granddaughter.
Ruby was shedding tears of joy as Riza and Blair smiled as she sat in the werewolf's head. Yuji sat in content, fortunate that the search turned out to be so easy and lucky. Hana felt a little out of place, but happy for Michiru as she was reunited with her family.
"Well, this is convenient," Misato commented.
"So, you're the man that's been taking care of my granddaughter," the woman, named Junko Masami, deduced.
"That's right, ma'am," Yuji bowed.
Junko sighed, "When I heard my daughter was murdered and Michiru-chan had gone missing, I was so devastated... Michiru's father had died when she was very young. I don't think she remembers anything about him. I thought she'd be lost forever..."
"When you're lost, you're eventually found," Yuji smiled softly, "My mother taught me that when I was little."
"Such a wise woman," Junko smiled, "I can tell she did a fine job of raising such a handsome young man." She stroked his cheek, "You have such a warm smile, just like a clear sky on a beautiful summer day."
"Thank you," he blushed.
"So~'" she grinned, "What's your relationship with my granddaughter and those other pretty girls like?"
Yuji froze, blushing and sweating bullets, "Well, we've been living together for a while now."
"You've slept with them already," she grinned, "Such a lucky boy!"
"Well, sort of," he chuckled. He then frowned, "I'm not sure if I should tell you of the details in Michiru's disappearance."
"It's alright," Junko nodded, "Knowing that my Michiru is alive and happy makes me happy. I have you to thank for that, Fudo-san."
"You don't have to thank me," he denied. "And please, call me Yuji."
Junko then leaned and smirked, "You know...she did get the breasts from me."
Yuji sweat-dropped, "I'll take your word for it..."
"Anyway, consider your meal on the house," Junko smiled.
"Thank you for the kindness," Yuji bowed.
Yuji blinked, "Take her out on a date?"
"This is her hometown, so her take her out on a date," Misato prompted. "Don't worry, we can take care of ourselves."
"Well, if you're sure."
Michiru beamed as your hugged Yuji's arm, "Yay, another date with Spiky-kun!"
Michiru rode behind Yuji on White Blaze, her arms encircling his waist as she rested her head on his back. He was so warm, kind and thoughtful to have thought up this trip, giving her a piece of her past she had thought lost.
"Don't fall asleep or you'll fall off," Yuji joked.
"Can't help it," she mumbled, "So warm~"
"What do you wanna do now?" he asked.
"How about we go and see the sights? There's a lot of history here."
"Your wish is my command!" And they rode on with Michiru screaming in delight.
For their first stop, Yuji had taken Michiru out to Nara Park, a short drive from Kyoto where they saw deer, wild and free.
"Look at the deer!" Michiru smiled. She was given deer biscuits to feed the deer and one approached to take a biscuit before licking her hand. She patted its head. "Kawaii~"
"Yeah, they are kinda cute," Yuji chuckled.
The Jishu Shrine was dedicated to Okuninishu, a god of love and "good matches". The shrine possessed a pair of "love stones" which were placed 18 meters apart. Lonely visitors would attempt to walk between the stones with their eyes closed. Success in reaching the other stone with their eyes closed would mean that the 'pilgrim' would find love.
"Been a long time since I've been here," Yuji mused.
Michiru blinked, "You've been here before? When?"
"School trip," he answered, "Never did this though."
"Well, then let's do everything you've never done before!" She's excitable, cheerful, like a kid and a candy store, and he loved her for it.
"Lead the way," he accepted.
Kiyomizu Stage...legend has it if you jump off and survive the fall you'll be blessed. There are also the large Buddhist temples with Buddha statues and they take pictures.
And let's not forget, Theatre Town.
Michiru decides to dress as a feudal princess and Yuji is her samurai bodyguard.
"Looking good," Yuji clapped.
The kimono was pink, with purple orchids on it.
"And you look dashing, samurai-san," Michiru smiled, "Do you follow the code of Bushido?"
"I have studied," he bowed.
"Then escort me through looped her arm around his," she gently ordered as Yuji took her hand.
Meanwhile, they were being watched. Ruby was wearing a dark Victorian era dress, Hana was dressed in a kimono and Misato was dressed as a kunoichi.
"Why are we spying on them?"
"There's a pattern with our dates, remember?" Misato reminded. "What always happens?"
"GIN-SHOCKER attacks," Ruby frowned.
Misato nodded, "Exactly, so we'll be shadowing them and making sure they don't get attacked by intercepting any GS thugs. Now, come on!"
They should've paid more attention as men in ninja garb were also watching them before vanishing. And they were unaware at the fact that they themselves were being watched.
"I guess I should ignore a few rats," Bianca smirked.
"This is bad!"
"You know we need her."
"I know that!"
The couple came across a movie set, hearing people worry.
"Hey, what's going on?" Yuji asked a camera man.
"Our main actress got sick," the camera man sighed, "So now we're at a standstill with filming."
The director blinked and looked to the camera man, gasping as he saw Michiru and Yuji. "You two; don't move!" They jumped startled as the director approached them. He inspected Michiru and smiled, "That cute face, gorgeous skin, and that wonderful kimono... OK, you're in!"
"What?" Michiru gasped.
"Hey," Yuji growled, upset that this guy was getting too close to Michiru.
The director looked to Yuji and started inspecting him as well, circling him like a shark. "Tall, good build, nice eyes and a killer hairstyle..." He palmed his speaker, "OK, you're in too!"
Yuji blinked, "Say wha...?"
The two were given a script and were taken for makeup. Michiru was excited about being n a movie, but Yuji...
"This is incredibly odd," he sighed.
"Just relax, Hun," Moriko smiled, "You're cute enough that you won't even need a lot of makeup."
"Thanks," he blushed.
"Maybe you should make a career out of this."
Yuji looked through mirror, seeing Bianca by the door. "Bianca, what are you doing here?"
"Just here to watch!" Bianca shrugged, "I am your manager after all."
"Manager she says..." Yuji had no idea what was going through this woman's mind.
"Next scene is the princess with her samurai as they close in for a kiss," Bianca informed as she read the script. "You sure you can handle it?"
"Of course," Yuji huffed.
Yuji and Michiru were put on the spot with the camera aimed at them. The crowd watching had already grown and was just waiting in anticipation. The two had read the scene and were a little nervous. Michiru felt a bit giddy as she blushed. This wasn't really her first time on camera but it was her first time on camera where she wasn't being filmed breaking and entering.
Long story.
"And action!" the director ordered and the camera started rolling.
Yuji looked to Michiru and caressed her cheek as she closed her eyes and puckered her lips. He leaned in to kiss her when all of a sudden she was snatched away by a black-clad ninja, shocking Yuji.
"CUT!" the director shouted. "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!-? WHO PUT A NINJA THERE!"
Yuji now knew something was bad and heard Michiru scream as she was being carried away, thrown over the ninja's shoulder. "Michiru!" he shouted as he gave chase.
"Yuji! Help!" she shouted and started beating on the ninja's back when she felt a prick in her neck. She went rigid before her body went soft like a noodle and she lost consciousness. Yuji saw the ninja leap into the air and pursued him, only to be stopped by an explosion of smoke.
He backed away as the smoke cleared, revealing half a dozen black-clad ninjas...all wearing GS' insignia as belt buckles. "GIN-SHOCKER, should've known," he frowned. They drew their ninjato and surrounded Yuji.
Suddenly, Misato jumped out of nowhere and scissor kicked two while the other four were taken by surprise by webbing and plant vines which trapped them. Ruby and Hana joined Misato as they all smiled at Yuji.
"We'll handle this, Yuji," said Misato as she put one ninja into a sleeper hold. The other got up behind her but she backhanded it. "Go save banana girl!"
"I'm on it!" Yuji nodded as he ignited his fists and propelled himself through the air to follow the ninja.
Bianca was watching and her eyes widened. "Just like the Tenth!" She noticed the distinct coloring of Yuji's flames, "Orange flames with hints of red mixed in... I see."
Yuji spotted the ninja running along the rooftop. Scowling, he took out his Liger Belt and slung it around his waist. Once it was secured, he took out his Jäger CAS card and slid it into the buckle.
"Henshin!"
"JAGER FORM!"
The belt released the energy which formed fragments, bonding onto his body to form his base armor. Then, blue pieces of armor instantly bonded to the base armor, completing the change.
"I'm coming, Michiru!" he shouted as the Ion Boosters burst to life and he jumped, soaring through the air to land on a roof. He gave chase and the ninja took notice, He flung smoke bombs in Liger Jäger's path to slow him down but the Rider batted them away as he gave chase.
He'd lost someone he loved before and once was enough. He wasn't about to lose anyone else.
Liger Jäger reached an empty park and found Michiru tied to a tree and ran to free her. "Michiru!"
"That's as far as you'll go," a Cyborg Mutant denied as he stood between the two. He was tall covered in orange and black samurai armor. On his chest was a golden tiger's face and in his hands were two naginata.
"There they are!" the director alerted as his camera man was with him. "Wonder who that guy is... Start rolling."
The cameraman gulped, "Sure thing, boss..."
"I am the Saber Tiger of GIN-SHOCKER," the cyborg introduced.
"And I don't care," Liger Jäger growled, "Let go of Michiru!"
"I cannot," Saber Tiger declined, "I am under the orders of Dr. Montesinos to bring #11 back to GIN-SHOCKER."
"Dunno who that is and I don't give a rat's ass," he spat, "Michiru's coming with me!"
"If you want her so badly, I may be willing to offer a wager," the tiger samurai offered, "Defeat me in single combat and the girl is yours. I'm sure you understand what happens if you lose."
"Too bad you're the one who's gonna die," Jäger growled, "NOW LET'S GET WILD!"
Music - "Wild War Dance"
Liger Jäger dashed toward Saber Tiger and the cyborg twirled his two naginata and swiped horizontally. The Rider slid and went for a leg sweep, the tiger responding with a jump as he thrust his spears downward to impale Jäger. The Rider caught the blades, stopping right at his chest armor and lifted his legs, kicking the "samurai" as he let go to watch his opponent fly. He the ejected his card and inserted the Panzer CAS card.
"PANZER FORM!"
Yuji's Panzer armor formed and his silos opened up, with sights all locked onto Saber Tiger and he pressed the button.
"FULL CHARGE!"
"Bite this, kitty! Burning Big-Bang!" And his missiles were all launched and flying straight towards their target.
"HORRRAAAGH!" Saber Tiger roared as he twirled his pair of naginata and cut through the missiles as he descended back to the ground with explosions all around him.
"Aw, what?" Panzer gawked.
"Hot damn!" the director marveled, "What a performance! Wonder if I could get that guy as a stunt choreographer." The cameraman rolled his eyes.
The explosions had awoken Michiru and she saw Liger Panzer. "Yuji!"
"Stay right there, Michiru," he assured, "I'll be with you soon." His armor was overheating so he ejected the card, his green armor shattering as he inserted the Schneider CAS card.
"SCHNEIDER FORM!"
Orange shards of energy exploded from the belt and conformed to Yuji's body as his Schneider armor was given form. Saber Tiger was flipping forward to build momentum before he swung his naginata down and Schneider responded by extending his arm blades as he swung upward to parry the attack. The two stared down each other, their stances firm as they struggled against each other.
"You're...not bad," Saber Tiger acknowledged.
"Same to you," Liger Schneider agreed, "But kidnapping a girl ain't very noble! I dunno who this Montesinos guy is, but he's not getting Michiru while I'm still breathing!"
Michiru heard this and her eyes widened with horror as memories flooded her mind.
Liger Schneider he kicked Saber Tiger in the crotch, the cyborg groaning in pain as he doubled over and Schneider responded by grabbing his head and delivering a perfect knee to the face, having flipped backwards before he fell.
"Get off your ass, Saber Tiger," Schneider shouted, "Time to end this!" And he hit the magic button.
"FULL CHARGE!"
Liger Schneider's blades all folded out and onto his armor as he charged forward. Saber Tiger flipped onto his feet, meeting his opponents charge with his own as he was twirling his two naginata.
"Buster Slash!"
Saber Tiger roared lunged swung and Liger Schneider lunged.
End Music
SLASH!
DOSU!
Liger Schneider flew past Saber Tiger and rolled, landing on one knee with his arms forward. Saber Tiger stopped his charge as well, his arms out to his sides as the battle went silent. Liger Schneider then winced before blood spurted from his sides like small fountains.
"YUJI!" Michiru shrieked.
"Hmph, with your level of skill..." Saber Tiger scoffed.
The cameraman blinked and zoomed into Saber Tiger, capturing a gaping hole in his torso and the blades of his naginata shattered at his feet.
"You can't possibly defeat GIN...SHOCKER," he finished as he fell forward and exploded brilliantly.
"CUT!" the director cried joyously as he approached Schenider and Michiru (who was still tied to the tree), "That was beautiful! Simply beautiful! I've never seen a fight like that in my entire career! Kid, how about I make you a real actor?"
"You'd have to talk with me," Bianca said as she walked forward.
"And who might you be?"
"His manager," she smiled as she pulled out a business card.
Yuji let Bianca handle the director as he pulled off his belt and let his armor vanish. He smiled and made his way to Michiru, "I told you I'd come for you."
"Yuji," Michiru uttered as Yuji untied her, before she quickly glomped him. "DON'T LET HIM TAKE ME! PLEASE! DON'T LET HIM TAKE ME AGAIN! DON'T LET HIM!" she screamed she clung to Yuji.
Alarmed, Yuji quickly hugged her tightly as they were on their knees in the grass, "It's OK, you're not going anywhere...promise." He has never seen her so frightened.
Misato, Ruby and Hana arrived on location minutes later to see Yuji comforting Michiru.
"How is she?" Misato asked.
"She's asleep now," said Yuji. "She freaked out earlier too."
"Put her on my back," offered Hana. "I'll carry her back."
Yuji nodded as Hana knelt with her back facing him. He put Michiru on her back and Hana put her arms under Michiru's legs before standing back up.
"So, did you find out why Michiru was kidnapped? Besides the obvious of course," said Misato.
"Well, that cyborg mentioned a name. Someone named…Montesinos," said Yuji. This made the former NUMBERS stiffen. "Something wrong?"
"Are you sure he said that name? Did he really say Montesinos?" asked Hana.
"Yeah, why?" Yuji asked.
"You might want to sit down for this," said Misato calmly. "There's a reason why Michiru's so scared of him."
(5 MINUTES LATER…)
Yuji was roaring like a madman, breathing fire into the sky as the girls watched with wide eyes. His body was also covered in flames. It's a good thing there were no civilians around.
"MONTESINOS! COME OUT, YOU CHICKEN SHIT!" he howled enraged, "I WILL FIND YOU AND FUCKING DESTROY YOUR FUCKING SOUL! I'LL TEAR OFF YOUR HEAD AND SHOVE IT UP YOUR TWISTED ASS SO YOU CAN EAT YOUR OWN SHIT! COME ON OUT, FAGGOT! YOU SCARED OF ME, CHICKEN SHIT? I WOULD BE SCARED TOO, YOU PUSSYYYYY! MONTESINOOOOOS!"
"Oh my!" Ruby gasped.
The girls had never seen him so enraged before, and while frightened, they were awed by the power of his presence. It was like looking into the centre of hell but also knowing you were safe from its flames.
"Man, I almost feel sorry for Monty," Misato grinned.
Hana looked to her, "After what he did?"
"I said almost, Hana. Almost. That guy's toast now."
"He really has it," Bianca said in awe.
"Has what, exactly?" Hana questioned.
The hitman narrowed her eyes, "The Flame of Wrath."
"I'm guessing that's a big deal," Misato frowned.
"I'll explain later. Camille!" The chameleon transformed into a handgun and fell into Bianca's hand as she took aim and pulled the trigger...
BLAM!
The shot fired was covered in a blue aura as it hit Yuji in the back of his neck, the Manakyte freezing in place before he went limp and collapsed face-first into the soft grass.
Misato grabbed Bianca angrily, "What the hell did you just do!"
"Misato," Hana said. "Misato, relax!"
"The bitch just shot Yuji!"
"He's alive," Hana assured as she was examining Yuji's body, "She only stunned him."
"Tranquilized him, to be exact," Bianca calmly smirked, "That shot was coated with Rain Flames."
"You could've warned us," Misato frowned, "What are Rain Flames?"
"I'll explain later."
"Will he be alright?" Ruby asked worriedly, "There aren't any harmful side effects?"
They all heard Yuji's snoring being muffled.
Bianca joked, "Snoring kinda counts as a harmful side effect of sleeping if we leave him there. Come on; let's get the sleeping matchstick someplace safe."
"Mama...!" Yuji gasped as he was covered in sweat, panting quickly. He looked around, not recognizing the room he was in. He spotted a small mirror and noticed he was covered in a few small bandages and band aids. Hana and Michiru come in wearing nurse uniforms. He blushes and rubs his eyes, thinking he was still asleep, "I hope to the Crimson Dragon I'm still dreaming." Hana pinches his cheek and he whined, "Oooww...!"
Hana said, "If this were a dream, that would've felt like nothing."
"But you didn't have to do that," he whined, "You coulda just said so!" He smiled and presented his other cheek, "Now the other one." Hana turned his head and kissed the spot she'd pinched. He blushed and kissed her back. "So, where are we?"
"The upper floor of my grandmother's restaurant," said Michiru. "It's an apartment."
Yuji nodded, "OK, next question; what the fuck happened?"
"Bianca shot you," Hana answered.
Yuji blinked, "She shot me? How am I not dead? Wait, better question; WHY did she shoot me?"
"You learnt about what happened to Michiru and flipped out," she added.
Yuji panicked, "WHAT? I had another shitfit? Are you guys OK? What about the others? Oh, shit, I hope I didn't turn...!"
Hana rubbed his back in assurance, "We're alright, don't worry, but you looked like a supernova."
Yuji shifted his gaze repeatedly, sweating again, "I didn't...turn, did I...?"
"You were covered in flames," What do you mean by 'turn'?"
Yuji looked down slightly, "I don't think I should say anything...not yet anyways." He climbed out of bed and tried to stretch. "Let's find the others first, OK?"
Hana and Michiru helped Yuji out of the room and into Junko's living room, where she was joined by Riza, Misato, Ruby and Bianca as they had tea.
"Hi guys," Yuji tried to chuckle.
Double glomp from Ruby and Misato. "Yuji!" they cried.
"Hey," Riza called, "You OK, Fudo?"
"The pain in my back or the wonderful pillows on my chest," Yuji groaned, "I hope the pain doesn't outweigh..."
"You were on fire!" Misato exclaimed.
Riza gawked, "He was?"
"I was," he nodded
"You OK?"
"Do I look OK?"
Riza nodded, "You do."
"OK then. So, what's up? And also, what's for dinner?"
"Well, I'm starving!" Riza grinned.
"Such a hardy young thing," Junko laughed.
"It's a good thing I stopped you from letting out your Inner Beast," Bianca sighed, "We could've had a real Godzilla scenario on our hands."
Yuji's eyes widened, "How do you know about that!"
"I've done my research, remember?"
"OK, Bianca, you mentioned flames before and the way you said it you weren't talking about regular fire," Misato said. "You said Flames of Wrath and also called those bullets that stunned Yuji 'Rain Flames'. What kind of flames are these?"
Bianca was finishing a cup of tea. She was going to need to keep her throat from getting dry because it was going to be a long explanation but they had every right to know and there was no time like the present.
"Within every life form, there exist a Dying Will Flame," Bianca began, "The Dying Will Flame can be harnessed in battle and be used for multiple forms of combat. It's basically another name for your life energy, but requires the harnessing of your resolve in order to fully use it."
"I'm guessing there's more than one kind since you called your bullets 'Rain Flames'," Hana assumed.
Bianca nodded, "That's right, there are seven Flames of the Sky and seven Flames of the Earth and they each have their own properties. The seven Sky Flames are categorized as: Sky, Sun, Storm, Rain, Cloud, Lightning and Mist. There have been people in the Vongola's history that were capable of harnessing more than one single Flame. For example, the tenth Vongola Guardian was able to wield five of the seven Sky Flames: Storm as his dominant Flame and Cloud, Lightning, Rain and Sun being his secondary Flames." She then showed them a red bullet with a flame print on the casing, "This is called a Dying Will Bullet and it's capable of storing the energy of Flames."
"So, what is Yuji's Flame then?" Misato asked. "You didn't mention the Flame of Wrath in that explanation."
"Before that, I will explain Yuji's Flame," Bianca acknowledged. "As you've all seen in the past, the color of Yuji's fire is mostly orange. That's the color of the Sky Flame, which holds the Harmony property."
Ruby blinked, "Harmony? But it was coming out due to his rage. How can that be harmony?"
"With the Harmony factor, Sky Flame users can neutralize other Flames by petrifying them completely, along with their source when used correctly," Bianca clarified. "Since Yuji knows nothing about the Dying Will Flames he can't even petrify a pigeon, let alone light a true Sky Flame. But the Flame of Wrath is an entirely different story. It's fueled by anger and has enough destructive power to reduce a target to ash. It's a good thing Yuji was aiming for the sky, or else there'd be nothing left of Kyoto by morning."
The girls knew Yuji had a lot of power, but they had no idea how much. Turn a city to ash? That would probably rank him as one of the most powerful beings in the world.
"Can he learn to completely control it?" Misato asked. "Can you teach him?"
"That's why I'm here; to teach Yuji and turn him into a fine mafia boss," the woman declared.
"Oh, that sounds exciting," Junko beamed.
"However, there's the issue of that beast of yours," Bianca pointed at Yuji with narrow eyes, "Do you want to tell them or should I?"
Yuji groaned to himself, wondering where the hell this girl got her information.
"Yu-kun, can you tell us," Michiru begged, "Please~?"
"Please tell us, Yuji-san," Ruby also begged.
"We won't think badly of you if you tell us," Hana assured.
"But we don't wanna push you," Misato assured.
"I actually wanna know," Riza spoke up, "But only because I don't wanna be left out of anything."
Yuji sighed, "When I was a kid, my dad told me about how we Manakytes can take on a bestial form based on what's in our hearts, or souls, I think. And when I turned twelve, I unlocked my inner self for the first time..."
"And you changed into a beast?" Misato asked.
"Yeah," Yuji nodded, "A pretty big one too, according to my dad."
"You can turn into a real dragon?" Riza exclaimed excitingly, "That is so cool!"
Misato shook her head in amusement, "And I thought your summoning trick was as far as you can go."
"Trust me, Yuji's great-grandmother can do a lot worse," Bianca laughed, "That is one Manakyte you don't wanna see angry!"
Yuji stood up shocked, "My great-grandma's a Manakyte too?"
"Oh, guess I forgot to mention that," Bianca shrugged.
"It kinda makes sense," Misato accepted, "It's in your blood, it had to have started somewhere."
"But how far does it go?" Hana asked. "Does that make all Manakytes related?"
"Not really, Manakytes have their own families just like everyone else," Bianca shrugged. "And some Manakytes are as old as creation."
"Do you...have a picture of her?" Yuji asked.
Bianca fished a photo from inside her jacket and flicked at Yuji as he caught it. What he saw was a woman with long, wavy silver hair, gentle golden eyes and milky white skin. She was tall and her bust matched Aphrodite's as she was dressed in an indigo Victorian dress and a matching wide-brimmed hat.
"Oh my god," Yuji gasped, "She's hot!"
Misato glared, looking jealous, and tugged on his ear, "That's your great-grandma!"
"I know, but look at her," Yuji grunted in pain, "My Gran-Gran is gorgeous! Not many people can say that! Ow, ow, ow, ow, ear in pain, ear in pain, ear in pain!"
Michiru admired, "She looks so beautiful."
Ruby added, "And I like her style. The dress looks good on her."
Hana examined the photograph, "Don't you guys think she looks a bit like someone we know?" she asked. "I mean, if you give her blue eyes and blue...hair...OH MY GOD!"
"What, who does she look like? Yuji blinked.
"Shi...Shi...Shi...Shi...Shiori!"
Yuji looked at the picture again for a moment and blinked, "Huh, fancy that... Wait a second. Bianca, why does Shiori resemble my great-grandma?"
Bianca snapped her fingers, "I knew I forgot something. Shiori Banabara is Katsu and Anastasia's granddaughter."
"If Shiori's Katsu and Anastasia's granddaughter, that means she's Yuji's aunt which means..." Misato began.
"Shinichi and Yuji are cousins!" Michiru finished.
"How...?" Yuji questioned.
"Well, Katsu and Ana's daughter, Saya, rejected her Manakyte heritage and chose to live as a human. Ana wasn't too happy, but Katsu understood. Then she got married and had twins," Bianca explained.
"So my dad and Shiori are brother and sister," Yuji realized.
"That's right, and unfortunately...well, I'm sure you know what happens next," Bianca goaded.
"Zero Reverse," Yuji frowned. He remembered the stories.
"They were separated at the time and Saya died, the Vongola was dealing with a situation and was unable to take care of Shiori while Yusei was stranded in the Satellite," Bianca told, "So he left Shiori in the care of a family he thought he could trust. Of course, you can guess how that turned out."
"I think it's destiny," said Ruby.
"Destiny?" Yuji asked.
"How else could you explain it? Your cousin and his mother show up in the city, then Shinichi meets you and you become friends. You turn out to be a Kamen Rider like him and then he reunited with his mother. It can't be anything else but destiny."
"I'll take it," he shrugged.
"Now I see how you both can get along so well!" Misato understood. "You treat him like a little brother when it turns out he's your cousin. It's amazing."
Junko stood up and clapped, "Now, why don't you all let all this information soak in with a bath? I'm sure you kids could use it. Fortunately, I own a bathhouse that's vacant tonight."
Michiru stood at the balcony, leaning over the railing when Yuji walked up to stand next to her.
"I guess it happened again, huh?" Yuji questioned. "GIN-SHOCKER ruining our date."
"It was bound to happen, but I also knew you'd save me like always," Michiru smiled.
Yuji caressed her face, happy that she was alright. He'd learnt about her handler, about how he'd murdered Michiru's mother to get Michiru and then abusing her for almost a decade.
Michiru leaned her head against his shoulder and sighed. "Thanks for this Road Trip."
"Well, it was nothing much," he blushed.
Michiru giggled, "There you go again, being all humble. If you hadn't suggested this then I wouldn't have found my grandmother. She was waiting for me, like how Shinichi's mom was waiting for him."
"Well, there's always hope even when it seems hopeless," Yuji said.
Michiru admired the stars. "Hey, do you think Shinichi and the others are staring at the same sky?"
"I dunno, maybe," Yuji answered.
"I've never had time to gaze at the stars like this. It was always about training, missions, and just being an assassin for me, but you've helped us to see there's more to life than what GIN-SHOCKER made us believe." Michiru looped her arms around his neck as he put his hands to her hips. She rose up on the balls of her feet and kissed him softly.
Yuji's eyes widened slightly from the action before he processed his situation. Now it was time for him to react. Yuji met Michiru's kiss with his own as he wrapped his arms around her, as if to protect her body from outside forces as these two were in their own world.
Michiru was happy that she met Yuji, thankful for his kindness and warmth. Being smart, strong and handsome was a huge plus.
They broke the kiss to gaze into each other's eyes. Yuji could see Michiru in the moonlight and he couldn't help but smile as she caressed her cheek. "You're adorable."
Michiru blinked, "Me? Adorable?"
"Look at you," he grinned as he played with her cheeks, "You may be a cyborg, but your cuteness is your greatest weapon. My adorable, little Angel."
"Oh, Yuji..."
She sometimes calls him Yuji, she sometimes calls him Yu-kun and sometimes she even calls him Spiky-kun. But in her heart she calls him her Mighty Protector.
"I'm not a perfect individual; people would even think of me as a monster wearing human skin," Yuji explained, "But I can think, I can feel, and I know I'm not human anymore. But I also know that I can think of a life without you or the others now."
Michiru leaned into his chest, "And I can't ever think of a life without you, Yu-kun."
Yuji smiled, hugging her close when he whispered in her ear, "I don't wanna make a promise I can't keep, but I promise I'll always love you, Michiru."
Yuji sighed contently as he sat in the bath. It'd been a while since he went to an actual bathhouse. He'd have to do this more often.
"We're coming in," he heard Ruby call as the girls entered. He turned and his eyes went wide at the sights that treated his vision.
Before him were Riza in a white bikini, Misato in a red sling bikini, Ruby in a black sling bikini and Michiru was in a yellow bikini.
"Sweet...inferno," Yuji gaped.
"Can I wash your back for you?" they all asked in unison. It was gonna turn into Soap Land.
"Yahoo," Riza cried as she hopped into the giant tub, splashing water everywhere.
"RIZA!" Misato snapped.
The werewolf girl laughed, "What? Afraid of a little water?"
"You just ruined a moment!" Ruby whined.
"What moment?"
Yuji could only laugh as he climbed out and smiled, "Who wants to go first?"
"Me! Me! Me!" the girls chorused.
"Janken," he ordered.
"1...2...3!" they called as Ruby won the hand.
"Yes!" she cheered. She was up first as Yuji took a seat, his broad back to her as she lathered the sponge. She kneeled behind him as she started, scrubbing up and down as she heard growling from his throat. "Yuji-san?"
"This is great," he sighed contently, "No way in hell can this moment get any better."
Ruby smiled and continued, scrubbing in circles as she covered his back. She leaned into his back, her breasts pressing against him as she sighed, "I never imagined myself doing this..."
"I think your chest got bigger after dinner," Yuji chuckled, "Must be something about Junko's cooking."
"Really?" Ruby blushed.
"I believe it's my turn," Hana reminded softly.
Ruby nodded and stepped away, allowing Hana to get behind Yuji as she washed his back with the basin's water. She lathered up some body wash and massaged his shoulders, earning a groan as she worked the tension she felt. She nodded worked her hands through his muscles. She willed her extra arms out and lathered her hands, allowing her to massage both his arms and thighs with the body wash. Hana blushed as she had to move in closer with her breasts pressing into his back. He blushed and leaned back into Hana as they started moaning as the girls watched.
"I think that's enough," Hana blushed as she cleaned Yuji, standing up to move away.
"My turn," Misato purred as she sauntered behind Yuji, smashing her bosom into his back. He froze when he felt her nipples right on him. "Blair got your tongue~?"
"Misato...your..."
"Yes~?" she whispered in his ear, "What's wrong' Darling~?"
"Your tits..." he tried to say.
"I thought this would be easier," she smirked, "Well, easier for me anyway. She had slid the cups to her sides, allowing for her to make pure contact with Yuji's back.
"You're devious," he pointed out.
"Oh, you know it," she smirked as she poured shampoo onto his head. She then dug her fingers into Yuji's hair and started scrubbing, rubbing her tits against his back as Yuji moaned from the contact. Her fingers dug into his scalp with the shampoo as she mangled his soft, thick locks. She took a whiff of his hair and sighed, "You're smelling great now!" She then took a soap bottle and poured some in her hands, lathering up and rubbing into his neck as she messaged him, Yuji moaning in contentment as Misato worked the stress out of him. "Gotta keep this neck nice and clean for me," she chided. She then lifted the water basin over him and poured, washing all suds off his head and neck. "Wonderful," she purred as she held him from behind and bit into the right side of his neck, Yuji moaning in response as he was held still. Misato ground herself on his back as she drained him! Gasping as she released him and turned his head to kiss him. She let go and grinned, "Michiru, you got his front!"
"Yay!" Michiru beamed as she glomped Yuji and straddled him, giggling as she gyrated herself on top of him.
"Michiru...!" Yuji grunted. He was trying not to get it up, thinking of things to distract him.
She lathered up her hands and massaged Yuji's chest, earning sighs and groans from him as Michiru ran her fingers along his fine muscles. "Yu-kun is so strong," she cooed, "And firm..."
Misato sighed, "I think we'll give these two some time to themselves. Come on."
"OK," Hana nodded as she was the first to leave.
"Time to go, Riza-san," Ruby called.
"Sure thing," she obeyed as she hopped out of the tub.
"Hey, we're you all going?" Yuji asked in a panic.
"Bed," Misato smirked, "We're leaving right after breakfast, so we'll leave you in Mchiru's very capable hands. Buh-bye~!"
Yuji sighed, figuring that the girls had se kind of ulterior motive.
"Yuji...?" Michiru called.
"What is it, Michiru?"
She leaned down to match gazes and she blushed. "I want you..." she whispered.
His eyes widened, realizing what she meant. "Really...?"
She nodded, "I wanna do it. Only with Yuji-kun."
Michiru reached behind her neck and pulled her top string, releasing the cups that covered her breasts, making Yuji gulp as he gazed at her chocolaty mounds. She leaned over again and kissed him, the two rubbing against one another as the suds gathered between them. Michiru plunged her tongue into Yuji's mouth, with him reciprocating. Yuji wrapped his arms around Michiru, caressing her back while she caressed his sides. They broke the kiss, still connected by a string of saliva as they panted.
"Wow..." Yuji breathed.
Michiru giggled as she turned around, putting her rear in Yuji's face as she placed a hand n his trunks and felt his erection. "Yuji-kun's banana," she smiled as pulled the waist band down as his dick sprung out. She smiled at the size, stroking his erection with her soapy hands.
"No fair..." he grunted. Yuji then retaliated by palming her rear, making her yelp in surprise.
She looked back and smirked, "Yuji-kun is ecchi!"
"Like you're not," Yuji retorted.
He grinned as he started licking at her bikini bottom while holding her in place. Michiru cleaned Yuji's dick with water as she continued stroking him before licking his head, twirling her tongue around it as the couple 69ed each other. Yuji then pulled her bottom to the left and gazed at her soaked pussy, taking in her scent.
"You smell great," he smiled. He then dove in and started eating her out, lapping at her succulent juices with his tongue.
"Ahh, Yu-kun," Michiru moaned as she took his cock into her mouth, making Yuji moan into her pussy as he started licking her anus.
Michiru continued sucking him off, bobbing on his cock as she sped her motions. She moaned n him as she felt Yuji's fingers sinking into her ass and pumping in and out of her.
"No fair," she moaned, "Yu-kun's in my butt...!"
"All's fair in love, sweetheart," Yuji smirked, "But you're close in getting me to cum...almost..." He continued fingering hear ass and eating her out to make her cum.
Michiru doubled her efforts as she sucked him harder, moaning on his dick and Yuji groaned as he fired into her mouth like a hose. She wasn't far behind as her juices burst from her, with Yuji drinking her nectar as it trickled down his neck.
"You taste fantastic," Yuji smiled. He pulled her bottom off and stroked her shapely rear, Michiru moaning as she gulped his cum down and turned to straddle him.
"I'm ready for you, Yu-kun," Michiru smiled. She looked down his erection as it rested against her stomach. Holding her by the hips, Yuji helped Michiru up as she was positioned over his plump head. She held it in place as Yuji helped her lower herself, his cock sinking into Michiru's pussy. She winced, moaning as his cock sank in and filled her fleshy chasm. "So big..." she winced, "Yu-kun is so warm...!"
"And so are you," Yuji smiled as he held her gently.
Michiru smiled as she started bouncing on Yuji, with the latter thrusting up to keep up. Both parties enjoyed the sensations that coursed through their bodies, Yuji rubbing Michiru's belly to give her further comfort and pleasure.
"Yu-kun," Michiru called, "Your banana is so big! And filling!"
"Glad you approve," Yuji smiled as he continued thrusting, "Good to know I'm not rusty. And you have an amazing pussy, Michiru."
She climbed off of Yuji and walked over to the wall, bending over and wagging her butt to Yuji. "Now I want it here," Michiru smiled, spreading her cheeks apart to show off her anus.
Yuji grinned and got on his knees behind her, palming her ass as he sank his tongue in her puckered hole. Michiru moaned in pleasure as her ass was eaten out. Yuji continued his assault be fingering Michiru's pussy, making the Mantis Cyborg squirm. Licking his lips, Yuji stood behind her and lined his cock at her hole.
"You ready?" Yuji asked.
Michiru smiled and he slowly pushed himself in, making her moan as his cock filled her ass. The two were joined and Yuji leaned into Michiru, sweeping her hair to the side and nuzzling her neck.
"Yu-kun, your banana is so hot," Michiru sighed, "I've never felt anything like it and my butt feels so good..."
"Then I'll try and make you feel better," Yuji whispered.
Palming her breasts, Yuji began thrusting into Michiru's ass as she moaned in ecstasy, her head hung low as she was drooling with a smile on her face. He flexed her fingers in between her breasts, squishing the soft mounds as Michiru's pleasure multiplied.
"Too good..." Michiru moaned, "Yu-kun's banana is so good! My butt is on fire!"
"Gonna cum...Michiru," Yuji grunted.
"You can," she permitted, "Anywhere you want, Yu-kun!"
Yuji pounded into Michiru's backside before holding her close and releasing his essence inside of her. Michiru cried out as she went through another orgasm, leaning back into Yuji's chest as she panted.
"Do you want more?" Yuji whispered.
"Yes," she smiled.
Yuji pulled back and pulled out, cum dripping from Michiru's anus as she was laid down on the floor and Yuji hovered over her. She smiled and moaned as Yuji plunged into her folds again, pumping deep as their ecstasy increased.
"Yuji! I'm cumming," Michiru cried.
"Me too, Michiru," Yuji grunted, "I'll give you everything!" he lifted her by the hips and bottomed out as he fired a stream of his spunk inside her.
"AAAAHHH!" Michiru cried as her womb was filled, with excess spilling out of her pussy.
Yuji leaned in and kissed her, "I love you, Michiru."
"I love you too, Yuji," Michiru smiled as she hugged him.
"That's right, I've told him," Bianca answered on the phone. "He knows about his heritage, but I don't think he's come to accept it yet. I've told him of the Flames, and he has the Flame of Wrath. Yes, Wrath, Katsu. GIN-SHOCKER? Please, they're nothing compared to Vongola, you know that. Yeah, he has quite the assortment of lovely ladies. He's turned out to be a real playboy. I'll keep tailing him and teaching him. You've got nothing to worry about, Katsu."
Bianca hung up and Chamille rested on her hand, "Yeah, Chamille, we should get some rest."
