One might think, that after their first real encounter with someone from the supernatural side of the world and being involved in their first ever supernatural fight, one would be rather shook up and have to take some time to themselves to calm down and come to terms with things.
Kaito found, that wasn't really the case for him.
As he left the alley way behind and the unconscious form of a 'king' slumped in the trash like a chump, he felt pretty calm.
And pretty good actually.
It was nobody important in the grand scheme of things he rumbled with, and he wasn't connected with any proper faction, and didn't know who Kaito even was really.
So he felt pretty assured in the fact that, there was a relatively low chance of this coming back to bite him in the ass.
He doubted that bald moron could even put two and two together after all to find out the school his uniform belonged to.
He seemed dumb like that.
'Still, how do I go about using this?' Kaito mused to himself, inspecting the white magatama he'd taken from Cao Huan held between his fingers.
He couldn't really sense anything coming from it. He couldn't exactly sense magic, though he could feel his own. But even then, it wasn't magic that the baldy skinhead was using. It was pure ki.
More of an energy source that youkai tended to use over any other, as far as he was aware of. The only non youkai he knew of that used it, without help from youkai themselves or anything, was Sairaorg Bael.
Who managed it through sheer ludicrously intense training.
That would have to be his backup plan though, while he very much respected the grind to attain it, he'd prefer a short cut since he was kind of short on time all things considered.
Assuming things went to crap.
'Should I just wear it on my ear?' Kaito wondered. Maybe if he did, he could get a feel for the energy coming from it flowing into his body. And once he did, he could learn how to harness his own and be done with the stupid bead.
Well, he could try it out he supposed. But it would have to wait until he got out of school and found some professional place to pierce his ear. If he did it himself, he'd probably end up getting an infection or something.
And while he could recover way faster than normal, an infection would still suck.
Either way, Kaito was forced to stow away the white magatama as he approached the school gate of Kuoh.
And found a commotion going on.
It was Murayama, at the front of the gate, making a bit of a ruckus, "But kaichou! What if Evander-kun gets hurt by that thug, isn't it your job to make sure the students are ok-"
She was cut off, "No, that is not my job, nor the job of any of the student council," Sona 'Shitori', third year and student council president denied her flatly, not an ounce of emotion in her voice and seemingly rather disinterested, "I have sent Saji off to call the police to deal with it, if Evander-san wants to involve himself with delinquents, that is his choice and has nothing to do with this school, now off to class with you, the bell will ring soon."
Wow, he could feel the love.
Not.
"No need for that," Kaito cut in as he approached, causing both girls to turn to him, Murayama's face practically lighting up, "Like I told you, I'd deal with him, he wasn't anything special."
"Thank god." Murayama breathed a sigh of relief, clutching her chest. At her side, the student council president turned away for a moment.
Rather quickly.
Not so quick Kaito didn't see the grimace that appeared on her face and the way she visibly bit her lip though.
He was tempted to praise God aloud himself, mess with her a bit more. Give her a nice good and proper pounding headache.
Okay, if he was being honest. He didn't like her. Even before he got the memories of his other self, she was such a hard ass.
He'd lost count on how many times she'd lectured him on his duties as the football team captain and scolded him for the tiniest thing he submitted to her that had to do with his club activities.
"You're not hurt are you?" Murayama asked in concern, "He kicked you really hard."
"Eh, I get banged about harder during my club duties, don't worry about it," Kaito waved her off, "I should be asking if you're okay, he didn't do anything to you before I turned up did he?"
Honestly, he'd seen a few people that saw it and just continued on. Full grown men at that.
A typical Japanese quality to be honest. Either too cowardly to do anything, or just so self absorbed that they didn't see it as their problem.
"No, he didn't thankfully, thanks to you." she gave him a grateful, pretty smile.
Well, he wasn't going to turn down a pretty older girl being grateful to him, and one that already seemed to have a positive opinion of him in the first place.
Before he could respond and keep the conversation going though, there was a cough and Sona turned back around, a pinched expression on her face, "While this is all very good, your bag if you please Evander-san," she more or less demanded, holding her hand out. Kaito rolled his eyes, but pulled his backpack off and handed it to her, allowing her to check it for any 'banned' materials, "Also Evander-san, I believe I've warned you before, but picking fights is not tolerated by this institution."
"You mean when I was gonna beat the crap out of those perverted morons?" Kaito raised an eyebrow at her. A few girls had been in the football club when he took over this year.
That ended when Issei Hyoudou and his two stupid buddies drilled a hole into their club building, specifically, a peephole into the female changing rooms. And they quit after being perved on by them.
And then he got into trouble for chasing them down and preparing to beat the shit out of them.
A strike on his record for violent behaviour in fact. Which was a mark against his future prospects and he was warned about a possible suspension and revoking of his scholarship if he was violent like that with other students again.
He didn't simply dislike Issei Hyoudou from the memories he gained of his other self after all. Though, they definitely fanned the flames.
"Yes," Sona didn't even flinch at his reply, "I've overlooked this kind of thing with you before, I won't do it a second time if you bring violence to these school grounds."
Funny how the student council president was not so subtly telling him she would expel him, as if she was the real authority behind things.
Not very subtle now was she?
But then, from what he knew of her true self, despite fitting the 'smart glasses girl' archetype, she was really pretty stupid to be honest and basically thought chess was the be all and end all and based even her battle strategies on it.
"Funny how that doesn't apply to your boytoy though," Kaito couldn't resist pointing out, "He was a real proper delinquent always getting into fights all the time, but you let him off and even recruited him for your little council, but God forbid I try to punish a little group of sex pests and help a school mate being harassed by someone."
Sona's eye twitched behind her classes and her body went ramrod straight for a moment, "…Saji saw the error of his ways with proper correction, you on the other hand, always give me lip," she bit out, before thrusting his bag into his hands after finishing what she was doing, "You pass the inspection, get to class."
"Whatever you say, kaichou." Kaito smirked at her, hoisting his bag over his shoulder and walking through the gate.
He probably shouldn't have done that. It may bite him in the ass later, but, he'd never liked her, and his other self…had a real problem with authority figures.
So they just clicked when it came to her.
"I really don't get Shitori-kaichou sometimes," Murayama sighed, taking spot beside him and giving him a bright smile, "Still, thanks again Evander-kun, you were really cool back there." she complimented him, before standing on her tip toes and pressing a chaste kiss against his cheek.
And then rushing off, cheeks blazing.
Kaito paused in his steps, watching her go, absently reaching up to rub his cheek, "Well, not what I'd want most, but not a bad reward either." he chuckled to himself.
He resumed walking, a whistle on his lip, 'One things for sure though, if I do end up having to choose between the pair, I ain't choosing that speccy bitch.' he snorted to himself.
As was typical of a Japanese school, even one as up there as Kuoh Academy was, gossip tended to spread like wildfire.
By time the bell rang signalling for the lunch break, it had already made the rounds that Kaito was a delinquent involved in a gang war who were fighting over Murayama.
Quite a few of his clubmates had hesitantly approached him to…literally bow and scrape to him, as if he was some up and coming oyabun. Literally just simpering towards him so they didn't become possible targets to bully since he was a 'delinquent' and that was what they did apparently.
So, when lunch came about, Kaito grabbed his bento of leftovers from his dinner last night, and made his way up to the roof.
Because that was obviously where cool, badass delinquents like him should go. So he could recline lazily and watch menacingly over the academy searching for prime targets to bully.
But in actuality, he just wanted some peace from the worried glances he kept getting and really tended to usually eat his desk while browsing the internet on his phone.
"People are so stupid." Kaito couldn't help but comment to himself as he leaned against the railing atop the school roof and picked at his lunch.
It would die down quickly in a week or two most likely, but it was still annoying.
It was more frustrating now actually, that he had the memories of also going to a much more fun and relaxing school in Scotland from the memories he gained of his other self.
That guy literally got suspended over twenty times in his first few years at that school without getting expelled. And he did a lot of real delinquent shit, like picking fights, kicking doors off of their hinges, destroying school property, calling his music teacher a fucking jew and threatening to stab him, mass amounts of truancy and even full on school gang wars with other schools.
'Oh wait, not that guy, that was me in the end wasn't it?' Kaito couldn't help but chuckle to himself. It was a bit weird to him sometimes, that he was actually now a fusion between two different people from two different worlds.
He missed Scotland.
Which was ironic because he'd technically never even set foot in the land of his deadbeat dad.
The sound of the door leading to the roof opening intruded upon his quiet alone time, and Kaito almost found himself rolling his eyes in annoyance.
Until he saw who stepped out.
It was a mini-person.
Well, not really, but it was a classmate of his. A very short girl, all of four feet and eight inches tall, with bob-styled silver hair and extra long bangs that came down covering her eyes from view.
Though he knew from experience that she had rather striking deep blue eyes.
She would have looked more like a kid just beginning middle school with her height. If not for one simple thing.
The massive breasts she had stretching out her school shirt, which were abundantly more pronounced when wearing her school uniform due to the simple fact that, someone designed the female uniform of Kuoh in a fashion reminiscent of a corset.
Yanagi Uzaki, the youngest daughter of Fujio Uzaki. And the one who'd actually recommended him to his gym a few months ago.
As soon as she closed the door behind her, she 'gasped' and clutched at her chest, "Oh no, it's the big delinquent-kun everyone is whispering about," she 'fretted', "Please don't beat me up and rob me delinquent-kun!" she 'pleaded'.
Kaito rolled his eyes, "Stop that."
"But delinquent-sama, what if you assault me because I'm so cute if I don't show you the proper respect?" Yanagi couldn't contain her toothy grin as she teased him.
As always, she had a real fun time taking the piss.
And then she started laughing, unable to contain her amusement, "They really do think you're gonna start beating people up and stealing their lunch money down there you know," she told him, clutching her stomach, "Like before I came up, you know Gojou-san right? The guy with glasses that sits at the front of our class, he was full on worrying you were going to dip his head in a toilet bowl because he called you a gaijin once, it was great."
"I'll dip your head in a toilet bow." Kaito snorted, flicking a bit of rice at her with his chop sticks.
"Oh, so scary~" she grinned wider at him and made her way over, "Do you want my lunch money? Sorry to disappoint, but I don't bring any, I make my own lunch. Maybe my panties?"
"Do I look like Hyoudou to you?" Kaito gave her a dry look.
Who incidentally, was the reason he became friends with Yanagi in the first place. His only friend at this place really. She was one of the members of the football club initially before quitting.
One of the girls that clown and his buddies tried to peep on. She made him lunch once as thanks for chasing them off and since then, more or less, just kept talking to him.
"Nah, you're not a shrimp," Yanagi shrugged, "Though, I've caught you eyeing a few girls now and then, something you want to admit? Has he lured you into the perverted side of the force? Just letting you know, you might be a total himbo, but even you won't be able to get a girlfriend if you go that route with him."
If his gaze got any dryer, his eyeballs would shrivel up like prunes, "I'm not a himbo," he denied, "In case you've forgotten, I'm pretty much one of the top in our year when it comes to grades."
Sure, he used his Twice Critical when studying so he could process and memorize information twice as fast and as efficiently as he usually would, but who cared.
"Just cuz you're a smarty pants doesn't mean you're not a himbo," Yanagi shrugged, "Also, I do indeed know well, after all, I'm the top of our year in grades remember? Your name is always beneath mine." her grin turned smug.
"That's just because I work on my body as well as my mind, unlike you nowadays, when was the last time you exercised?" he fired back.
"Yesterday, I went on a small jog," Yanagi smugly replied, crossing her arms under her mountainous breasts and pushing them up all the more. It took a lot of willpower not to stare at her rack, "I only do it a few times a week though, it's hard to jog when my boobs bounce everywhere, I totally curse myself for wanting big boobs when I was younger, I was so naive back then."
Her smug grin widened and she pushed them up with her arms, and he lost the battle within and instinctively took a glance at them. They were amazing, as always, "Then again, if my boobs weren't so huge, Hyoudou might not have tried to perv on us at the club and we might never have been friends," she mused, before making a blatantly false gasp, "Now that I think about it, it's really Hyoudou's efforts that made us friends. If not for him, you'd be a total loner himbo. Maybe you should thank him and become friends with him as well?"
"Are you trying to make me up-chuck my lunch?" Kaito gagged in disgust and shook his head, "Or are you just trying to turn me into some pervert? You've been weirdly insistent on me assaulting you or stealing your panties the last few minutes."
"A little enthusiasm doesn't hurt every now and then y'know," she answered vaguely, with a shrug, "Which reminds me, dad said you hit an all new record at the gym last night or something, asked me to invite you around for dinner tonight if you want."
"…How did this discussion at all remind you of that?" Kaito found himself asking, completely lost.
"Eh, Hyoudou is a sad loser who'll probably never get a girlfriend and you're a muscle head, just like my brother will probably be a sad lonely loser that can never get a girlfriend and my dad is a muscle head," Yanagi replied with 'flawless logic', "So you wanna come or not? I got a new game the other day that's best for Co-op, and you can even help me out with my sister, Hana-chan apparently has some boyfriend she's all tight lipped about and won't let us meet, maybe she'll spill to you?"
Kaito was having a serious hard time wrapping his head around that logic. He had no idea why her sister Hana would talk to him about her relationship status, he'd only met the girl a few times and had all of two conversations with her.
Also, he was insulted she compared him to Fujio. He liked the guy, but he was a bit of a nutcase.
….Tempting though. While he did want to see about looking into getting his ear pierced to wear the magatama and get a feel for ki.
But-
Free food was free food, and not only Yanagi, but her older sister and especially her mother were amazing cooks. And he was not only poor, but merely a passable cook at best.
And actually, now that he thought about it.
If he remembered right, didn't Yanagi's older sister have her ears pierced as well? He could vaguely remember her wearing hoops in her ear lobes when he met her.
She could probably point him towards a good place to get his ear pierced cleanly.
And after eating a good home cooked and filling meal, he could always head to the gym. He kept a lot of extra clothing and such in his Sacred Gear anyway so he didn't even need to stop at his house.
And the Uzaki household was closer to the gym than his own apartment.
"Sure, I'm up for it." Kaito agreed, it was really a win, win…win, all around for him.
"Awesome," Yanagi pumped her fist, "I'm sure you'll love it, I'll even make sure mom makes something with plenty of protein for your muscly taste buds!"
"If you ever make it back," Kaito snorted, "What if I being the clearly evil delinquent I am decide to take you up on that offer and assault you and you never get home again?"
Yanagi's grin almost split her face and she brought her hand up to push her bangs up, showing off her glittering blue eyes, full of mischief, "That's just a risk I'll have to take to keep the innocent students of this school safe from your evil lustful ways." she shot back cheekily.
I hereby call the Uzaki family dinner to order!"
Fujio announced with a laugh and big grin from where he sat at the head of the table. Kaito found himself seated next to Yanagi, directly facing her older siblings while her mother busied about in the kitchen.
"Dad, the food isn't even fully ready yet." Uzaki Kiri, the only male of the three siblings pointed out exasperatedly with a roll of his eyes. Despite being the only son of the family, he looked nothing like his father. Being rather short and slender of build, with short silver hair and blue eyes the same as his siblings.
He was at least somewhat fit Kaito knew, since he was on the swim team, though he didn't particularly stand out there.
"That doesn't matter, we're all here at the table aren't we?" Fujio waved off his sons words, "We have a guest so we should be showing Kaito-kun how close knit and fun we are as a family unit!"
"He's been here before though?" the oldest of the three siblings, Hana looked up from where she was looking down at her phone and pointed out. The resemblance between her and Yanagi was something else, right down to the toothy grin. Really, the literal only difference between them in looks as far as Kaito could tell, was that her hair was shorter and she had all of a half an inch of height on her younger sister.
They were pretty much identical where it truly counted though. That being in the chest. Despite her incredibly short height, Hana Uzaki was an absolute bombshell up top, just like Yanagi.
"You know dad, they say overbearing parents are the type that get hated by their kids," Yanagi chimed in, "It's no wonder Hana-chan hasn't brought her boyfriend around to visit, she's too scared you'll embarrass her."
"Guh!" Fujio dramatically clutched at his chest before turning his pleading eyes on Kaito himself, "That's not true at all, right Kaito-kun, I'm a cool dad right? Look at my bulging my muscles and you even call me Fuji-niisan right?"
The nice thing to do here, for a man always trying to look out for him, was to come to his defence.
"I've never called you that Fujio-san." Kaito decided to drive the final nail into the coffin instead though.
Fujio slumped against the table.
He was dead.
While the corpse of the Uzaki family patriarch lay cooling atop the table, Kiri decided to change the topic, "So Evander, what's with all the rumours going around about you today at school?" he asked, "Some guys in my class were saying you're a yakuza that beat up twelve gangsters this morning to take a girl from them for yourself."
"…What?" Hana who was just about to look down at her phone again paused, and gave him a blank look.
So even he had heard the rumours?
"Now that he brings it up," Yanagi hummed with interest, looking at the taller boy beside her, "You didn't actually tell me what really happened earlier, I only heard Murayama-san was super thankful and kissed you and I heard her gushing about how cool you were before I found you at lunch."
Was it him, or was she frowning for a second there before it was replaced by a quirked grin?
"It wasn't anything all that special," Kaito shrugged, deciding to reveal the abridged version of what went down, "I just found some delinquent who was on holiday from Tokyo harassing Murayama on my way to school, I told him to leave her alone, so he attacked me, we got into a fight and I won pretty easily."
"Eh, that's all?" Yanagi pouted, "That's boring though. With all the rumours going around, people made it out like you were fighting some life or death battle."
"Not even close, he was kind of pathetic to be honest." Kaito shrugged. For some guy who possessed the soul and power of an ancient Chinese king from eighteen hundred years ago, he sure went down pretty easily.
Then again, kings weren't exactly known for their martial prowess.
"My, that still sounds dangerous though," Uzkai Tsuki, commented as she made her way over to the table, carrying a steaming pot, "Should we report it to the police just in case?"
Like her daughters, Tsuki, was a short woman. Though while her daughters faces were a bit sharper near the chin, hers was softer, more rounded, combined with her smooth skin and youthful features, it made her look much younger than she actually was. The woman looked like she could pass for her early twenties, despite being in her mid forties.
Unlike her daughters who wore their hair rather short, she kept her silver hair in a ponytail, but just like her daughters, her short stature was not at all a detracting point from her charm as a woman. She was the one they inherited their voluptuous figures from after all.
Kaito had to hand it to Fujio, he really had excellent taste in women. She was demure, soft spoken, kind, was an amazing cook and more on top of being an absolute bombshell, she was a perfect wife all in all.
Kaito forced himself not to stare and shrugged, "The student council president already reported it to the police from what she says, so no need." he informed.
If she actually did. He didn't understand how that woman worked after all. It wouldn't surprise him if she didn't just send her boytoy dragon slurper pawn to come 'rescue' him and get him indebted to them.
"Bwahahaha!" Fujio rose from the dead and laughed boisterously, "As if some mere delinquent could be a match for Kaito-kun! He can bench four hundred and fifty pounds y'know, that's way more than even me! Any delinquent that saw his muscles would turn the other way and run for their lives!"
"Wait…four fifty?!" Kiri spluttered, giving Kaito a wide eyed and gobsmacked look, "That's insane, I can barely do a hundred!"
"That's cuz you're a shrimp that doesn't do weight training," Yanagi shrugged, "Kaito-kun practically lives at the gym."
"I totally work out, I swim all the time!" her older brother snapped at her.
"So? It's good for endurance and keeping fit, but not making your muscles bigger. You don't even lift bro." Yanagi shut him down hard.
"Ugh, I'm surrounded by fitness freaks," Hana groaned, rolling her eyes, "Dad, Kaito and even senpai."
"Haha, you inherited it from your mother, she loves my muscles!" Fujio proudly declared, before realising what he said and frowning, "…Why did you have to inherit such a thing from your mother? Damnit, my baby girl has a boyfriend, how can this be!?"
"He's not my boyfriend!" Hana shouted.
"He totally is, you go to his house and cook for him and everything!" Kiri jumped in, "No guy would let a girl do that if he didn't like her, though he's a total weirdo for being interested in a shorty like you."
"Like you would know, you've never even held hands with a girl never mind had one cook for you!" Hana shot right back, "And who are you calling short, you aren't even one hundred and sixty centimetres in height despite being eighteen!"
"Yeah I am, I'm one hundred and sixty two thank you very much!" he shot back.
Which, was five feet three inches or so Kaito mentally calculated.
There was never a dull moment with the Uzaki family, that was for sure.
Case in point, a familiar mischief filled grin spread across Yanagi's face and she looked to Kaito, "Hey, speaking of height Kaito-kun, how tall are you?" she asked.
He already knew she was just doing it to rub it in the the faces of two particular others at this table, her brother only being one of them.
"Last I checked I was one hundred and eighty two, so about five-eleven." Kaito nonetheless answered her.
"Grk!"
"Grk!"
There were two simultaneous choking sputters from the other two males at the table, and their pride was ruthless crushed.
And they died together as father and son.
Fujio after all, was only five-seven despite having muscles that looked like they were carved from granite.
Yanagi it seemed, woke up this morning and chose violence. Ruthless, domineering violence at that.
"I've told you guys before, but senpai is one eighty, so about roughly the same height as Kaito more or less." Hana added fuel to the fire.
The depressed moans of the defeated men at the table was something else. Kaito hoped it didn't add any extra salt to the food.
Thankfully for the two male Uzaki corpses, it wasn't long later that Tsuki finished up cooking the food and brought it over, allowing for the topic of height, to be buried under the scent of delicious food.
"Y'know, on the topic of Hana and her boyfriend," Yanagi spoke up as they ate, "Why have you never invited me to your place Kaito-kun?"
Fujio's head snapped around to look at Kaito so fast he wouldn't have been surprised if he generated a sonic boom.
'What does that have to do with Hana's boyfriend?' Kaito couldn't help but wonder, before shrugging, "You've never asked to come over. Besides, it's not anything interesting."
It was literally a tiny one room apartment, well two if he counted the bathroom. His kitchenette was right next to his front door, which was literally in the hallway connected to his living space that function as both his living room and his bedroom.
He didn't even really have any furniture. He only had two cupboards that he could use to store his clothing and his futon and the only things he generally left out were his crappy television, his old ass game console and the small cabinet they sat atop.
The fucking homeless got provided with better and bigger housing in Scotland for free over that.
Japan sucked ass man.
"Hmm…" Yanagi pursed her lips, before shrugging, "Fair enough I suppose, then how about I come over every now and then, I'll make you dinner sometimes if you want."
Fujio's gaze was so heated, Kaito wouldn't be surprised if he started firing plasma beams from them at him.
….Didn't she realise what kind of situation she was putting him in here? If he said no, he was a dick, if he said yes, he made it seem like there was more going on than there really was.
It wasn't like he was in any position to have a girlfriend at the moment. He had freaking nothing to his name after all. And even then, he could never tell when Yanagi was just flat out trolling or not.
And bringing this up right here and now? Seemed more fishing for reactions than anything else.
If he was in any true position to have a girlfriend though, he'd date her in a heartbeat.
"I guess if Fujio-san and Tsuki-san are alright with it?" he went with the safest reply he could think of, before coughing and hurriedly changing the subject, "So, erm, Hana you have your ears pierced right?"
"Tch." Yanagi unashamedly clicked her tongue.
Hana blinked, "Yeah, I got it done a few years ago after I graduated High School," she replied, "Why?"
Thankfully, changing the subject waylaid more than just her, "Kaito-kun, don't tell me you're turning into one of those hipster bums?" a distraught look appeared on Fujio's face, "You're not going to get tons of piercings and tattoo's and join a failed pop band are you?"
"Ew, no," Kaito had to visibly stop himself from gagging in disgust at the thought, "I just came into a pretty cool earring that seems to be worth a lot, I won it in a competition and wanted to try it out, see how it looks on me." he lied.
Well, technically not a lie actually, more a half truth. He did win it, the competition was just a fight. And as the winner, he was free to take what he wanted.
"Well okay then," Fujio crossed his muscular arms and nodded, "Just remember your body is your temple. And your temple is full of powerful beautiful muscle, don't ruin it with gaudy crap like that, it would be like if some punk graffiti'd Senso-Ji temple!"
He was really comparing his muscles to the oldest, largest and mostly high regarded temple in all of Japan.
Well…that was about typical for him.
His children all gave the man blank stares, before Hana huffed, "If you're looking for a place to get your ear pierced, I don't actually know any," she replied, "I got mom to do mine for me."
"If you want Kaito-kun, I can do it for you after dinner." Tsuki offered a second later.
He grinned at her thankfully, "That would be great if you Tsuki-san, thanks." Kaito replied.
"Only one ear though!" Fujio added, "And I'll be keeping an eye out for any graffiti on your temple!"
Right, here we are back again with chapter three.
With these chapter, one of the main love interests of the story is introduced in Yanagi. While I like Hana and Tsuki, I also like Fujio and Sakurai and cucking them doesn't really appeal to me. besides, I think my favourite of the three is Yanagi, though I really like em all.
Oh, and I suppose Sona got introduced as well. But she's just a Sona so who cares about her? Certainly not Kaito. Funny as that is though, one thing I'll mention to keep in mind about Kaito and Sona, is that just because Kaito is the main character, doesn't mean his opinions are one hundred percent fact.
And to round the chapter off, we have Kaito about to get his ear pierced so he can see about using the Sacred Gear. Which...contains the soul of an ancient Chinese Emperor. Buddy, have you thought this through? Hmm, probably not. I mean, he is written by me and my main characters tend to be influenced by me a lot and I don't do a whole lot of that thinking things through thing. Me are Dumb unga bunga!
Moving on, beyond the chapter we're on to 13 chapters on the Pa-atreon. Got slowed down a bit due to some family drama and a pain in the ass toothache among other things. So if you want to read ahead before the chapters get uploaded there, feel free.
Putting all that aside, it's nos the 25th as I'm uploading this. So Merry Christmas guys and possible girls. Hope you all have a great time.
Anyway, shameless Pa-atreon plug. I've got one, go by the same username on there, easy to find and all that jazz. Support me if you want, it'd be swell, but don't feel pressured lads and ladies, I'll be uploading my stuff outside it regardless and not keeping it all behind a paywall or anything like that.
