"I am a kendo champion as well. I heard I am one of the few to beat her. I would be honored to duel another of that household. I am curious whether all in that household are that tough,"Denshi answered in a well mannered way. However, anyone could see the gleam of challenge in his eyes.
Kazuto shook his head. "Unfortunately, my sister, Kirigaya Suguha is the one who's expertise is in that area. Not mine,"Kazuto answered. Kazuto knew he wasn't the worst at kendo, and with his skills in game, he had a chance of beating Denshi. But it was too risky. It attracted too much attention. All he wanted was to not cause a commotion during this trip, and gain Asuna's family's respect.
"Really? That's rather unfortunate. Even I was going to personally come to see the Kirigaya house's work. Even a retired kendo-ist like me from 60 years ago cannot resist the competition. In fact, if you are a swordsman, you mostly wouldn't be able to resist,"Grandfather chuckled. Grandfather(Asuna's) wasn't just a business man. He was one of the best kendo-champions of his time. To be completely honest, it was his wife that had run the business part of his company. Grandfather himself was a swordsman at heart. That's why he knew that if he truly wanted to know somebody, the best way to know was to battle them. As their opponent, you could see into the depths of a person's soul through their eyes. The eye was a gift as well as a flaw. It gave you the gift of sight and many other abilities, but it gave away every emotion you wanted to mask.
He hadn't made it a challenge, but he had made it clear he wanted Kazuto to fight. Kazuto couldn't say no, because pretty much the whole family acted on the whims of their Grandfather, who had inherited his parent's meager amount of money and made one of the biggest companies in the world starting with a chain of food, and eventually branching off to utensils and almost everything you could find in the daily household. Everyone wanted at least a part of his fortune.
Fortunately for Kazuto, he did not need to answer yet, because his phone rang at that exact moment! He quickly excused himself, and scurried out of the enourmous dining hall. I never really explained how big the dining hall was, did I? Well, if you've seen the mess hall in Harry Potter, you know the size I'm thinking of.
Kazuto pulled his phone out of his pocket quickly, and accepted the call. "Hello?"Kazuto answered.
"Papa!"Yui cried in glee, and Kazuto had to smile despite himself. Yui would call Kazuto and Asuna occasionally. It had become possible around the same time that Konno Yuuki died. Yui was like a ray of sunshine. "Papa, today Klein and Lisbeth came to play with me!"
Kazuto forced himself to sigh, "I'm sorry, sweetie. I really need to go. They can't know about you."
"Aww. I can't call you all of this week?"Yui asked.
"I'll call you when I can. I'll miss you, but you know this is how it must be,"Kazuto answered, saddened by the thought that Yui must still remain a secret.
Kazuto had no chance to hear Yui's answer, however, because his phone was ripped out of his hand and there faces smirked at him. Yuuya, Denshi, and Denshi's brother Hayato. "We caught you red handed. You're cheating on Asuna,"Denshi declared.
"Wha-" Before Kazuto could explain anything, (not that he could explain anyone without giving away the fact that he and Asuna had a child in game) Denshi and Hayato each put a hand on one of Kazuto's shoulders and led him forcefully back into the dining room.
Everyone stopped. "I thought you boys asked to be excused to talk about new business deals?"Yuuya's father asked with a raised eyebrow.
"We caught him talking to a 'sweetie' on the phone, Denshi once again announced with a grin as if he had won 10 billion dollars worth business deal. Which to him a chance at getting at Asuna probably was worth that or even more. All the women gasped theatrically.
It was an tensed silenced for around 10 seconds, before Asuna asked, "Was it Yui or Leafa?" "Wait are you saying this young man cheated on you twice before?"Kyouko asked Asuna as Kazuto answered, "Yui."
"See, he admits it!"Denshi said excitedly, practically jumping up and down.
The next thing that happened, happened so fast nobody quite registered it until a few seconds afterwards. Except three people.
Kazuto saw a figure jump leap towards him, and time slowed as adrenaline pumped through him. He twisted away, spinning to avoid the bamboo kendo sword, so that Asuna's Grandfather missed. At the same time he saw out of the corner of his eye a white figure throwing something towards him, and his right hand shot up to catch it. Without a second thought, he twisted around to block Grandfather's second swing. By then Asuna was standing next to Kazuto.
"The eyes of a warrior. We shall talk in my office,"Grandfather ordered before turning on his heel and walking out. Kazuto turned to Asuna, but she just shrugged and took the kendo sword she had thrown him, placing it back in its place before walking out the door while grabbing Kazuto's hand, which meant Kazuto had to reluctantly walk with her as well.
I know a lot of people favorited and followed this. Thanks for the support. I have been busy, and reluctant to continue this, because I rather question whether or not I am portraying what I want to portray correctly. I know this most likely doesn't reach your expectations, but I hope it isn't that bad.
