Author Note: I'm pretty sure some of you are tired with how long it takes in order for me to update. Well, the truth is sometimes I wonder if I should even update. I'm trying to figure out which five stories I should work on and I don't know if Romance, though this is also a comedy, is really my forte. But let's just see by this chapter. There won't be a character description because I've shown basically every character, so just enjoy this note. Please review : )

Love Hina Bara

Chapter 16: Daisuke's Battle

Near Daisuke's ship Rina, Yui, and Ichiro were having dinner. Rina and Yui both sat by the table eating shrimp out of a bento using chopsticks. While they were eating they had Ichiro chained to the table and had a dog collar wrapped around his neck.

" Come on. It was just a joke," Ichiro whined while he had the collar around his neck. " Doesn't anyone in your house have a fuckin' sense of humor."

" What humour?" Rina asked while she scowled her eyes at Ichiro. " You got a bucket of popcorn, made hole in it, and stuck your penis in it. Then you asked us to reach in it to touch your penis."

" And you nearly chopped it off. Who uses a knife to get popcorn?"

" And after that you tried fondling my breasts after I said the word Hot," Yui said with a scowl on her face as well.

" I thought you were hitting on me."

" First: I wasn't even talking to you; I was talking to Rina. Second: I was asking her if she wanted to have her dinner hot or cold. I was going to heat it up in the planes microwave. And now, thanks to your stupidity, we're forced to eat our food all cold."

" Come on. You both just looked so sexy. Can't you give a lover of all women a nice hot meal?"

" You're lucky we don't send you straight to the pound, you horny dog." Rina stopped eating and shaked her head in an angry manor. " Honestly, you're even worse than that pervert Ian. And he's the king of all perverts."

" Ooh, does someone like Ian?" Ichiro made a flamboyant face and snickered under his breath. " I must say, you both have perfect chemistry together. He's silent and polite and your loud and rude. You're both perfect for each other—"

Rina stopped eating and leaned on the table to stare into Ichiro's eyes. Her eyes were glaring straight into his and she frowned down on him—to put it in other words, she was basically a tiger staring down on a hyena—and she showed her dominance lucidly.

" I don't care about him. He can die for all I care. He's callous, perverted, and the very sight of him makes me reek. There's nothing between him and me."

" That's what the girls always say in the anime's. And then-ooh, wow, bang, bang, bang—"

CHOKE!

Rina shoved her bento box into Ichiro's mouth which evidently had small traces of food still inside it. The box clogged Ichiro's throat and stopped him from saying a word through his mouth.

" Eat your food, you pathetic dog. Bow wow."

" She calls me a dog, but she's the real bitch around here."

Ian, Daisuke, Kimza, Chazona, Kaeda, Foxy, and Sankarea were running through the halls of the Stormclaw base. As they were moving, Daisuke, Kaeda and Kimza were the only ones who were still in shape. But Chazona, Ian, Foxy, and Sankarea were both worn out and panting while they continued to run.

" When can we-pant-take a short-pant-break?" Ian panted while they were running. " I'm so-pant-tired."

" We do not stop for anything, cousin," said Daisuke who continued running through the halls with Kimza by his side. " The sooner we get this case finished the sooner we can go home. I have much work I must finish and would rather not waste it doing frivolous tasks such as this."

" Geez, aren't you the optimistic one. He's just as cold as ever."

" Ian, are you feeling alright?" Kaeda asked as she ran besides Ian. " You look tired."

" I'm fine." Ian skidded to the left trying to get out of Kaeda's path. " I'm just a little nervous is all."

" I guess that can't be helped," Foxy giggled as she pushed herself on Ian's left side. " My human vibrator has been working himself so hard, I'm surprised he even has the strength to walk."

" Hey, don't hog him to yourself!" Sankarea shouted as she ran up to Ian's right side.

The two sisters had one of their arguments. Ian could almost see electricity collide together from their eyes as they both stared at each other. The sight of them arguing made Ian nervous as he felt his throat turning dry. Then they both smiled and pressed their breasts together sandwich hugging Ian.

" Who do you like better, Ian? Do you like me or my sister Foxy better."

" Remember, vibrator, we won't accept you like us both the same."

Tension surrounded Ian. The air around him became musty. With very little breath in his clogged throat, Ian fiddled with his fingers trying to think of what he was going to say to them.

" I, er, I-I-I-I…I, er, I—"

" I am here to take all of you down!"

Everyone in the group including Daisuke stopped. They stopped and looked at who was talking. The person was the genius with the crown on his head. He was in everyone's way and seemed like he wasn't going to stop for anything. With that said, he laughed under his breath.

" Hahahhahaha."

" What so funny?" Ian asked. " And who are you?"

The man finally stopped laughing, raised his head up, and he stared at Ian straight in his eyes. " Excuse me. I forget to introduce myself to those who're of meager minds. As for my name, I will not tell it to any of you. All you need to know is I am way smarter than any of you and I'm the smartest man in the world.

" Sheesh. Talk about vanity. I'm really starting to dislike this person."

" Now, because I have orders to follow, I will kill each and every one of you."

" Oh yeah. Bring it on. We'll take each of you dow—"

" Hold it!" Everyone freeze at the sound of Daisuke's voice. Daisuke pushed everyone aside and walked straight in front of them looking at the crown wearing a crown in his eyes. " I'll take care of this man myself."

" Are you sure about that, Daisuke?" Ian asked grabbing his cousins' shoulder. " This guy looks kind of tough. He might hurt you—"

" I'll be fine. You should be more worried about yourselves. The longer you wait here the more time you'll be wasting. And wasting time is something I just cannot allow."

" Okay, well, that explains it. Girls let's get going."

" But Ian-kun, shouldn't we stay behind to help Daisuke?" Kaeda said.

" Trust me, when Daisuke gets serious about himself, you have to stay as far away from here as possible."

Ian ran behind the man followed by Chazona, Kaeda, Foxy, and Sankarea. Kimza however didn't want to leave Daisuke's side. She hugged his legs and rubbed her cheeks gently on his leg. But Daisuke turned around, lifted Kimza's child-like body up and placed her back down.

" Sorry, Kimza, but there's a side of me you don't want to see. Besides, you should help Ian and the girls. Ian needs you more than I. And if I hear you do a good job, I'll reward you any way you like afterwards."

Kimza's eyes lit up at the sound of Daisuke's last words. Though Kimza wasn't one too smile, she was happy. She then turned around and ran past the man with the crown. As she did, Daisuke rolled his sleeves and rubbed his hands together.

" So, the big boy wants to stay behind? How noble of you. You must really care about your friends?"

" In my life I've only cared about one person, and that person has always been my mother. Everyone else just gets in my way."

" Hey, I think I know you. Yeah, my lackey told me about you. He told me you were some kind of genius and he took some blueprints from you. I must say, reading your blueprints, you are a genius. You might even be my rival in being the smartest man in this world filled with others with pint-sized brains."

The man raised his right hand up. On his hand was a wristwatch. The watch was green with silver metallic covering, and he slammed his hand on the watch. As he did, it glow bright green. His clothes were ripped apart by metal emerging from his clothes. The metal covered his entire body. Soon his body looked like the same prototype Daisuke showed to fellow scholars.

" See this. This is your design. I've improved it. Now witness firsthand the power of my genius."

Thrusters flared behind the man's model as he dashed towards Daisuke. Daisuke seemed at first speechless of the man. Seeing his own model used against him didn't bother Daisuke in the slightest, in fact he was upset seeing such a rickety model. In a flash, Daisuke stepped out of the way, and raised his left foot out.

" Amateur." The man's legs tripped on Daisuke's leg. No sooner did he trip him did his entire model break. Daisuke walked over to the man, grabbed his collar, and he yanked him up. " You've made lots of fallacies in my design, stupid. Your first mistake was not adjusting the linear actuator. Second was not drilling two needle sat the 6-axis force sensor at the wrist. And your last mistake was the Segway RMP 100 Omni. Honestly, you think you're a genius, but you're just as incompetent as my cousin Ian Urishima."

" You can't beat us!" The man shouted at the top of his lungs. " We're invincible! You and your friends will die!"

" Nice to know." Daisuke reached his right hand on the right side of the man's neck and squeezed it. He lost consciousness from his grip and passed out in his arms. " To tell you the truth, I'm here for my own personal gain. See, I'm tired of being the diligent, obedient little schoolboy. I want to rise above all of you."

Daisuke threw the man on the ground. While he was on the ground he stood on top of the man's chest. Under the light, Daisuke's eyes glowed bright red. He hid it to every one of the Hinata House, but he couldn't hide his true self to anyone else. He was a demon.

" You think you're so great. Let me tell you who you are. You-are-dispensable. One day not too long from now…I will be become a god. You shall all bow to my every whim and will follow me. I swear it on every member of the Hinata House. That's just the kind of demon I am. "

Days until Ian finds his true love: 80.3 ( It's almost nightfall)
