Last Chapter, after being cheered up by Asuka, Sora regained himself, and joined forces with the Ninja Girl against the ever growing Heartless, the Demon Tower. The creature put up the same amount of challenge as it did against Aqua and Riku, fortunately, the Keyblade Master was not challenged alone, as Asuka provided Sora with enough of an advantage against the monster, until the duo succeeded in defeating it.
After the battle, Asuka went through what she learned about Sora, now understanding that her grandmother, Sayuri, summoned the Keyblade Wielding hero from the Realm of Light, to help her and her friends against the Heartless' masters in their world, the mysterious Four Fiends. At that moment, Renka appeared before Asuka and Sora, while complementing Sora by telling him he earned her opinion of him as a "Keyblade Master", she wanted to talk to both him AND Asuka back at Asuka's home...
Kagura Hearts
Chapter 5 ~ School of Hard Knock(er)s
"(ahem) As you may have learned Asuka, Sora here was summoned from the realm of Limbo after a great battle. And his status as a spirit was caused through sacrificing his own existence unnaturally for Kairi, his friend. With his entirety rendered to the existence of a Spirit, Sora was no different than the traditional summons of old, who our finest Shinobi in history have ever summoned. And yes, his human form from the previous life was kept intact, just as Ryoki was. With the exception of the Halo, Sora is summoned to our world as a temporarily living servant of the summoner. And his civic duty is-HEY, ARE YOU TURDS IGNORING ME?!" Renka asked.
Asuka answered, "No Renka, I was listening to you, but we were all in my apartment, and I was looking forward to fixing up some Futomaki Rolls for the class. And since Sora came to this world unnaturally, I wanted to at least teach him how to make the Futomaki." Sora then said, "-And it's a little hard to pay attention with you talking through all of Asuka's lessons." Renka then argued, "I WAS 'TALKING' BECAUSE I HAD IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING THE SITUATION, AND YOU 'FUN-TIME-MUCK-HEADS' ARE BUSY MAKING SNACKS!"
Asuka then looked at Sora's progress and said, "Your attention to detail is admirable, but you're losing the amount of Codfish Flakes, see that? It's spilling out of your roll." Sora was shocked, so he tried using a spoon to get the flakes and carefully lay the flakes back on the roll. Asuka then said, "Good, everything is ready. All the ingredients are in your roll, now carefully roll the roll using the Bamboo Mat." Sora carefully matched Asuka's movements and rolled the small mat over the Futomaki. He then asked, "With the Futomaki rolled up, should we cook'em in the oven, microwave, or-?"
Asuka shook her head and said, "No need to fry what's been cooked already. Trust the ingredients we cooked earlier, they're what make Futomaki delicious. Now, after a good squeeze, our rolls are complete. Some people like chopping the rolls up, you may as well if you wish, but me, I like mine nice and fresh!"
Renka then said, "If ya ask me, I think her interests in food are suggestive."
Renka then ordered, "You've finished making our meal, Asuka, now sit. You too, Sora." Sora finished cutting his Futomaki roll into small bits and sat in front of Renka, offering her the plate of Futomaki. After Sora bowed, Renka accepted Sora's generosity and ate a small slice while saying, "(much-munch) (gulp) His mission is the Heartless. You remember the black creatures you and the others have been fighting since 1 month ago, right?" Asuka nodded, allowing Renka to continue, "Master Sayuri and old-man Hanzo met these demons years ago, and you can be certain that these things won't disappear after one lucky victory, They will be back and in stronger forms than the last. Master Sayuri also managed to gain some intel regarding the identity of the Heartless' masters. They are mysterious and powerful creatures called the Four Fiends, whose reasons for using the Heartless elude us, which is why YOU were Summoned, Sora."
Asuka then asked, "Well, I'm not against Granny summoning Sora…but I am curious about what will happen to Sora if his mission is over?" Renka ate another piece of Futomaki and answered, "...He'll come back to life in a realm his friends can reach him, as per his arrangement to the rulers of Limbo."
Sora then asked, "You know, Sayuri also told me to make some friends here, saying that it may help my case more. Does Asuka count?" Renka then shoved a small serving of the roll into Sora's mouth and said, "Gold Star, dumbo, Asuka does count. Of course, you will have a chance to meet with many other lucky ladies, who may add to the power you have now."
"...Um…what did she mean by 'Lucky Ladies'?" Sora asked Asuka. Asuka then replied, "...maybe she's applied for a job at a Casino?" Renka snarled and explained, "CHILDREN Renka, they have the brains of Children! Christ, you two can't be this dense, can you?! (ahem) Nobody is working with Shifty Gamblers, Bunny Girls, or Wheels of Fortunes, Master Sayuri has in fact enrolled you to School."
Sora was a bit curious by Renka's explanation, so she made things perfectly clear…
"You will be honing your skills, during your stay, fighting the Heartless and any assholes who think they can wear the PANTS of our town, while learning how to be a Ninja like the many who wear the darkness in their missions happily do. You will be attending…Hanzo National Academy."
The next morning, Sora was standing in front of the school gates next to Asuka…
Sora then said, "I had schools back home, but none were THIS huge!" Asuka then said, "Well hopefully, it'll become more familiar in time. Now come along, I'll take you to Sensei's class to wait while I take Renka's recommendation letter for you to the Principal." Sora nodded and headed to the entrance, until Asuka suddenly grabbed him from behind and lifted him into a hidden part of the school rooftops…
Through a secret door, Asuka plopped down on her feet in a classroom while Sora was dropped on his butt on the floor.
Asuka was nice enough to help her new friend on his feet while saying, "This goes without saying, but Ninjas don't use the front door. Now wait here, and try not to bug the others while I'm away." Sora nodded while saying, "I'll mind myself, but…I'm concerned your classmates might have a different idea." Asuka then said, "Don't worry too much about that, the girls won't know what to do with you when they see you."
"G-Girls?! Wait, did Renka mean-?!"
Before Sora could finish, Asuka was standing in the door out of class and said, "Remember, be nice to any who show up!" When she left, Sora reasonably, started to sweat rain…
"WHAT HAVE I GOTTEN INTO?!"
Sora then decided to sit down while he waits for Asuka, but to his surprise, the room had no desks or chairs, just small tables and pillows…along with a few odd choices to bring to a classroom, like inflatable toys, giant pillows with people's faces attached to them, and underwear!
Sora already felt like a stranger in another world, but he wouldn't want to keep the wrong assumption in mind about Asuka or Ninjas, so he said to himself, "Is this a classroom, or Asuka's private closet? Just-...just keep it together Sora, this probably isn't a classroom! Maybe this is a club room! And the-...um, 'Girls' are just a swimming team! So I'll mind my business and sit in an empty corner away from their prying-."
"Stand still, trespasser."
"EEP!"
Sora felt a sharp blade to his throat, an arm wrapped around his arms, and two giant marshmallows touching his back…
"-Are you the Teacher?" Sora asked. The person answered, "I am your Executioner." Sora then said, "That's not the right answer, and to be honest, your approach is rather rude." The person behind Sora however argued, "SILENCE scum, what could a boy know of decency when he is all-together rude?" Sora answered, "I know you've been hating the wrong boys! W-wait…you're my age, aren't you?" Sora swatted the sword back and summoned the Keyblade to defend himself…
What he saw however was INDEED a girl his and Asuka's age, perhaps one year older, but this young woman was beautiful beyond compare, with long black hair, and a red bath robe that was exposing more than it should…
Sora then said, "It's official, Kairi's gonna kill me for seeing-…(ahem) NO, no, I'm being rude, sorry. You're a student, aren't you? It's nice to meet one of Asuka's friends, I'm Sora-! W-wait, you are Asuka's friend, right?" The girl answered, "I am…but what does a man like you have to do with our Asuka?" Sora answered, "I happen to be a new student in your school."
"LIES! NO MAN COULD DRESS SO OBSCENE, SO IMBECILIC, SO UNCOUTH!"
"...I get 'Imbecilic', but what's with all the detailed words, are you going to tell me you hate me yet or just keep waving a sword around with the intention of-"
Sora's question was immediately interrupted by several sword attacks that he had to block and parry, until a girl with pink hair hopped in while saying, "-Sounds like Ikaruga's fed up with Katsu again-wait…that's not a Blonde Pervert!" Sora then answered, "No, just me, and I'd love to introduce myself, BUT RIGHT NOW, A CRAZY HALF-NAKED GIRL IN A KIMONO IS TRYING TO KILL ME!"
As Sora was defending himself, the pink girl performed a Summoning Jutsu, and through this technique, she summoned a small mean-looking rabbit with a kanji symbol on his forehead and a red scarf! The pink girl then said, "Ninto, Ikaruga is fighting an intruder! Grab him!" The rabbit saluted the pink-haired girl and charged Sora, who was already pushed against a wall! The rabbit called Ninto then shot a bolt of Lightning at Sora, forcing the Keyblade Wielder to jump out of the way and toss his Keyblade at Ninto, knocking him into the pink-haired girl's arms!
"-I'm really sorry about hitting your rabbit mam, but this is between us! You should stay away or our attacks might end up hurting you!" Sora's explanation was unexpected, and the pink-haired girl was somewhat surprised…and relieved. So she asked, "...my name…M-My name is Hibari! Who are you?" Sora pushed Ikaruga's blade away and answered, "I am Sora…formerly deceased Keyblade Wielder, and summoned warrior from the Realm of Light, my summoner is Sayuri, Asuka's Grandmother." Mentioning Sayuri's name left the two ladies speechless as Sora dismissed his Keyblade.
"ASUKA, YER LUSCIOUS LOVELIES ARE MINE-!" A shapely blonde girl suddenly grabbed Sora from behind, making poor Sora VERY uncomfortable as the amazon went to town on every part of his body! The blonde then said, "GYUUH-HU-HU-HOOOO, PRECIOUS LITTLE SUPPLE BOOBIE GOOD-ness? Hmm…strange…this bod…Asuka, is it just me, or have you…gained some muscle? That's kinda weird, especially how scrawny you still are…and…your…huh. Your boobs are missing." Sora pushed the perverted woman away, but in his terrified attempt to get away, he bumped into Ikaruga! The two collapsed, however, to Ikaruga's surprise, Sora was cradling her, keeping her from knocking her head on one of the tables…which he ended up knocking his head against…
At that moment, a 4th student walked into class, this one had long white hair in a twin-tailed hairstyle, while wearing a black eyepatch. She then turned towards Hibari and asked, "Hey Hibari, what's been happening?" Hibari answered, "Y-Yagyu…w-we attacked someone without knowing who he was…and now…his head is bleeding after keeping Ikaruga from getting the same injury!"
End of Chapter 5
