This story is actually one of the harder ones for me to update mostly because I can't decide how I want to do things. Either way enjoy.

I don't own History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi
Last time
"Idiot." Yami muttered as he leaned against the wall. "You really are an idiot, Kenichi."
Miu smiled at him "I hope it goes well Kenichi-san." The two dwindled into idle chatter as Yami sighed
"Well…it looks like Kenichi isn't as much as a douche bag as I thought he was…still a douche, but not so much as I thought." He sighed to himself as he stared at the moon. "The next month or two is going to be really bothersome…" he would later regret having been right.
The Crazy American Girl
It was early in the morning when Kenichi was approached by Akisame. "Is everything returning to normal at school Kenichi-kun?" he asked stroking his beard as was the norm for the man.
Yami snorted in disdain "When is it ever normal?" he asked rhetorically. "As long as YOMI still attends it will never be normal at school." He continued earning a glance of disapproval from Miu.
"Hush Yami-san." She whispered harshly causing him to shrug his shoulders impassively.
Kenichi chuckled nervously "More or less, if possible I want to avoid fighting Chikage-san." He admitted causing Miu to glance at him affectionately.
"There's no way you can fight her since she's a girl." She stated knowing his rather chauvinistic view on the matter. She sighed heavily as her face hardened "If this goes into an unpredictable state then I guess I'll have to…" she trailed off in thought.
Both Yami and Kenichi suddenly had the vision of Miu standing over a beaten Chikage, as the younger girl bled from having her head smashed into a nearby wall. Shuddering at the image both boys glanced at each other before nodding. 'Best not let her fight.' They thought as one.
Kenichi firmly planted his hands on Miu's shoulders catching her attention "Lets try to find a peaceful solution to all this!" he cried out surprising her a bit. Kenichi eventually managed to calm down enough to ask a question that had been bothering him "But even though she's YOMI is that child really that strong?"
Yami sighed and pushed off the wall he had been leaning on. "A prodigy…right Koetsuji-san?" he asked as he folded his arms over his chest. "That child is a prodigy at the martial arts."
Akisame nodded his head as he drank his tea. "Yes, though this is only a rumor I heard that there was a young girl going around and challenging all the dojos she comes across." He took a breath as Kenichi listened intently "Apparently she can see through a person's center of gravity with terrifying ease."
"Oh how scary." Yami muttered with a grin as he hopped around on one foot. "Sounds strong." He continued sounding excited.
Miu and Kenichi sweat dropped seeing their friend's eager face as he hopped around. "Yami-san certainly is excited today." Miu stated off hand as she took a seat.
Akisame seemed to smile a bit before he continued his speech. "If someone with talent is a genius then someone born with those talents is called a prodigy." He explained as Shigure hung upside down behind him. "They comprehend in a day what others take months to learn."
Kenichi pointed at Miu with a happy expression on his face. "Then Miu-san must also be a prodigy right?" he asked in his stupid I got something right face. Yami rolled his eyes before leaning against the wall again.
Sakaki smirked as he took a sip of his beer. "You could say that." He conceded his smile never leaving his face. "Even Apachai and Shigure are considered prodigies." He stated turning the heads of Yami and Kenichi as the two waved happily at them.
Yami sighed "Just because you're born with talent doesn't mean you always will be talented." He pointed out causing the masters to nod their heads in agreement.
"True, if a prodigy only relies on their natural skills they eventually become an ordinary person." Akisame explained as Apachai walked up behind Kenichi laughing.
"With 10 you're a prodigy, with 15 you're talented and with 20 you're ordinary!" he cried out smiling the entire time. Kenichi seemed to grimace at Apachai's words causing Yami to chuckle.
Angered by all their talk of geniuses and prodigies Kenichi suddenly exploded "She's just a genius so what?" he shouted in anger. "Even I was referred to as a genius back then!"
Akisame raised an eyebrow "First I've heard about it…" he muttered before looking at Kenichi more seriously "What was so special about you?" he asked.
Kenichi fist raised explained "When I was little, my body was so weak they gave me the nickname…SHINDOU!" There was a moment as everyone just stared at Kenichi who had has arm up like it was something to be proud of.
Yami sighed and pushed off the wall "Kenichi…" he began as he charged the band-aid wearing teen "You're an idiot!" he roared as he clothes lined the teen sending him sprawling on the ground groaning in pain. "Moron." He muttered disdainfully as he made his way out the door. "I'm going out for a bit." He called back as he waved.
Shigure looked at Yami's retreating back and back to Kenichi a couple of times before she waved goodbye and made to follow him. "Yami…wait." She half shouted as she caught up to him easily enough.
Yami raised an eyebrow "Shigure?" he asked curiously as he continued walking. "Thought you were playing with Kenichi and the others." He mumbled as he walked through the park at a leisurely pace.
Shigure stared at him whit a ghost of a smile "I wanted to…be with Yami." She stated slowly before looping an arm around his shoulder pulling him a little closer. "Date." She nodded happily causing Yami to smile despite himself.
"Alright…what do you like to do other than training?" he asked as one or two citizens pointed them out and whispered amongst themselves though both martial artists ignored them
Shigure placed her unused hand on her chin in order to think. "Fun…things." She eventually answered causing Yami to stumble over his own feet at the simple answer. The two were in a park meaning, Yami fell face first into the dirt.
"Well…then…" he mumbled as he pulled his face out of the ground and spat out some stray grass. "That leaves a lot of things open to do." He pointed out as he moved into a sitting position.
Shigure knelt next to him and pulled him to her. "Then we …look." She stated simply as she gazed at the sky with great intensity.
'I don't think that's something to get so worked up about.' Yami thought to himself as a sweat drop formed on the back of his head. "How about we go to a movie then?" he suggested with an uneasy smile, unsure if Shigure even knew what a movie was.
Shigure's eyes lit up at the idea, though one would find it hard to tell less they knew her personally. "Good…idea Yami." She muttered as she pulled him into a hug before standing up and pulling him up with her. "Let's…go!" she pumped her fist even as she spoke in monotone
"Is she really excited?" Yami asked quietly unsure about how to interpret Shigure's motions. "Well…whatever." He eventually said before dusting himself off and leading Shigure towards the nearest theatre. "So…what do you want to watch?"
"Is that him?" a heavily accented voice asked before handing the binoculars to someone else "Well Miyako?"
Miyako nodded her head slowly as she smiled at a blonde woman standing next to her idly fiddling with a lock of her red hair. "Yeah that's him Angelica, and if you can catch him he's all yours." She stated with a smile as the blonde haired woman's eyes lit up like a kid on Christmas.
"What about the woman with him?" she asked adjusting the rope attached to her side. "She seems close to him."
Miyako glared at Shigure's form scoffing as she did so. "Do what ever you want with her…She's not good enough for my Otouto!" she declared venomously as she bit her thumb in frustration at being reminded about the woman so close to her brother.
Angelica shrugged "Personally think she's cute myself." She admitted as she adjusted her cowboy hat and boots. "Well either way I'm going in now." With that said she hopped off the building using the lasso at her hips as a way of descending the building she had been on.
Miyako scowled "She may be crazy but Angelica is a woman I'd trust with my Otouto any day of the year." She muttered as she turned around and left content with knowing by this time tomorrow Kagirinai Yami would be rescued from the ninja freak and safely in the arms of her trusted Angelica.
"So which movie do you want to see?" Yami asked as he pointed at the various titles on the board above the clerks head. "Pick any one." He urged her as she took her time looking over each one.
"That…one!" she pointed out a zombie movie that was showing in a couple of minutes. "It sounds…fun." She declared causing Yami to face palm.
'I don't really like that type of movie…' he thought to himself as he paid for the tickets and lead Shigure into the theatre. 'I hope it isn't too bad.'
Angelica shivered as she looked at the movie they picked "Of all the rotten…" she muttered angrily "I hate these types of movies!" she hissed causing a few people to back away from her. "Can I help you…?" the clerk asked somewhat nervously causing Angelica to swerve to face her. "Yes one ticket for Left 2 Die please" Angelica smiled as she accepted the ticket and entered the theatre. 'There he is!' she thought as she spotted Yami's red hair. "Lucky there's a seat next to him too!" she whispered as she quickly moved to take the seat knowing that the ninja woman was staring at her.
Shigure stared for a few more seconds at the odd blonde haired woman who had so hastily sat down next to Yami. "Weird." She mumbled loud enough to catch Yami's attention.
"You say something Shigure?" he asked curiously as the previews started showing as the house dimmed down their lights.
"Nothing!" she whispered playfully as she wrapped an arm around Yami's arm.
Yami gazed at her for a moment before shrugging and turned his attention onto the big screen. Soon the movie started, and needless to say…it scared the shit out of most of the audience. "Holy shit that thing came out of nowhere!" Yami whispered clutching Shigure's arm with his own his heart beating a mile a minute. "Shigure you're hurting my…arm?" Yami looked to his left and noticed for the first time that there was a blonde haired woman sitting next to him clutching his arm like a lifeline. "Who…?" he was interrupted as one of the humans set off a large explosion causing the woman to freak out as she jumped nearly six feet into the air before landing in his lap clutching his neck like it would keep her safe.
Shigure glared disdainfully at the woman pushing her off of Yami before settling herself into his lap passively "Mine…" she mumbled as the sound of crying caught their attention. On the screen was a crying little girl who was rubbing at her eyes with the palms of her hands and one of the survivors as the group called themselves was approaching her to see what was wrong. "Hey you all…" the person never got to finish as the girl turned, screeched and swung her hands, which turned out to be giant claws, slicing his head clean off his shoulders before screeching again and running away. Shigure noted with some satisfaction that Yami had pulled her closer to him in his own fear, but to her own annoyance the other woman had freaked out again was now sitting in her lap clutching Shigure like a little child.
An hour later the last survivors, a young couple was being flown away by helicopter into the sunset as the two cried both in sadness and relief as they clutched each others sobbing forms. "Finally it's over!" Yami cheered as he took time to finally realize his situation. "Uh…what happened?" he asked noting that Shigure was sitting in his lap and the blonde from earlier was sitting in Shigure's lap.
"Is it over?" the blonde whimpered as she peered over her arms at the screen. "It is!" she nearly shouted in joy as she finally realized what she was doing. "Oh…oops." She mumbled seeing Shigure's annoyed face inches from her own. Hastily getting up she bowed in apology. "I'm so sorry!" she stated as the couple finally took note of her western accent. "I'm not good with horror flicks." She admitted as she rubbed her head.
"Then why did you watch it?" Yami asked suspiciously as he squinted his eyes trying to see if there was something off about her. Other than her thigh high shorts and much too small shirt that barely covered her generous bust there wasn't much off about her at all. "You an American or something?" he asked
She smiled and nodded "Yeah…You mind marrying me?" she asked completely out of the blue. "Your sister wants me to."
Shigure simply hugged Yami to her bosom, "Mine." She stated possessively as she stared unblinkingly at the American.
"Aw don't be like that. I'm Angelica by the way, my friends back home call me Angel." She winked while doing a pose
Yami's face could best described as a mixture of confusion, annoyance, and worried. "Why do you want to marry me again?" he asked having missed the first part.
Angelica smirked before moving into his face kissing him on the cheek, making sure to leave a mark. "Cause your sister wants us to, you're hot, she's hot and I'm bi."
Yami and Shigure shared a look before turning back to Angelica and crossing their arms in an X "Denied." They stated causing her to frown.
"Well in that case…" she trailed off. Suddenly Yami found himself hogtied and on her shoulders as she made her getaway "I'll be taking him!" she shouted back as Shigure quickly gave chase irritated that the American had taken her by surprise.
What ensued could very well be considered the craziest half hour of Yami's young life. "I'm going to die." He mumbled to himself as Angelica used her lasso to climb up a construction site as Shigure deftly followed her using what she could to ascend the structure. "I'm seriously going to die."
"Ah shut up you ain't going to die." Angelica stated giving him a spank on the ass "Quit yer whining and let me work!" Yami could've sworn she muttered, "You're lucky you have such a nice ass" under her breath.
Shigure landed in front of her and pointed her katana at Angelica's face. "Give him back." She stated in a stern, monotonous voice.
"Make me ninja girl."
"God damn it listen to her you crazy American!" Yami shouted as he wiggled around in her grip.
"Hey stop moving around Yami! I'm trying to fend off some crazy ninja chick and you moving around ain't helping!" She lashed out at Shigure's approaching form with her lasso forcing the swordswoman to dodge less she end up tied up like Yami. "See what you made me do I missed!" the America hissed angrily as she spanked Yami again.
"OW! This is sexual abuse!" He shouted in anger only to be spanked again.
"Does it look like I care?" she retorted as she lashed out at Shigure again who circled around the pair like a panther looking for an opening.
"No so put me down and go home you crazy American!" he shouted as he continued to struggle "I live with her anyways!" He noticed immediately that she stiffened up. "Yeah that's right we live in the same house!"
Shigure narrowed her eyes as she watched the surprisingly skilled American turn an odd shade of red in what she assumed was anger. "You know…I think I like a man with experience." The American muttered face still red.
Yami's face suddenly tinged pink as well as he realized what Angelica was thinking. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on a minute there Cowgirl…we didn't do anything like THAT yet."
Shigure took the distraction and slid behind the distracted blonde striking a pressure point that knocked the woman out. "You…okay?" she asked once she checked to make sure the other woman was fine.
Yami pouted and looked away. "I hate being saved." He muttered as he looked away. "Makes me feel weak." He groused as he let Shigure help untie his bindings. "Crazy chick knew how to tie a knot." He stated as he threw the last bits of rope onto the floor.
"Want…lunch?" Shigure asked completely ignoring the ranting teen as she dusted herself off and started leaving the site.
"Yeah sure where we going?" Yami asked his earlier ramblings seemingly forgotten in the face of his hunger.
End
Originally I was going to start the Rachel (Lucha girl) part of the story but then I decided that Yami needed a bit more of his own personal problems to deal with so I did this instead. Admittedly this isn't another "arc" just a filler chap though Angelica will make multiple other appearances as will Irina from the "Boris" part. However, what I don't know as of yet is their intentions towards Yami and no I will not accept any suggestions I will make my own stuff as I go, it's easier that way people who put forth ideas usually give way too much details for an author to work it in nicely.
Also there will be Yami-centric arcs where the main problem is in fact Yami's not Kenichi's though Kenichi will stick his nose in as is usual for main characters (They can't help butting in on other people's problems.)
Last thing, stop telling me what pairings to do I'll do what I want Yami marries whoever the hell I want him to marry quit asking for your own favored couples.
