Last Chapter, Renka of the Mikagura Sisters, and one of Sayuri's apprentices, explained Sora's role to Asuka, Sayuri's granddaughter, regarding the reason for his summoning is because of the threat presented by the Heartless, and the Four Fiends. Despite his expertise with he Keyblade though, Renka handed Asuka and Sora something very special...
The key to perfecting his skills, a recommendation letter from her master, Sayuri, for Sora to enroll in the Hanzo National Academy, the school where Ninjas are made.
The next morning, Asuka guided her friend into her class to wait for her while she hands to letter over to the headmasters of Hanzo...
Unfortunately, Asuka's classmates assumed the complete opposite from Sora the second they saw him! Sora had to defend against Ikaruga's attacks while Hibari attempted to attack him, but Sora would not allow himself to attack any of the girls, making Hibari see Sora in a more positive light. That light however turned dark as Katsuragi, the class' clown, grabbed Sora while mistaking him as Asuka, forcing Sora to try and get away, only to trip into Ikaruga and collapse...
However, Sora managed to protect Ikaruga from receiving a painful gash from bashing her head on a small table they were falling onto. Unfortunately, Sora was not so lucky...
Kagura Hearts
Chapter 6 ~ Welcome to Hanzo National Academy
Ikaruga opened her eyes, and found herself being held closely to-and by Sora, who's hand covered the left side of her head.
"You dare assume you can touch me?! I DON'T CARE WHO SUMMONS YOU, A MAN WILL N-e…eh…h-hey, hey, open your eyes! Open your eyes when I'm talking to you, you no good piece of trash! I will NOT tolerate your sexist-!"
At that moment, Ikaruga noticed the bleeding wound on Sora's head…
"...he…he kept me from bashing my head against a table…"
At that instant, Asuka returned to the classroom to tell Sora what happened…
"Sora, Renka's letter for you just got registered! Congratulations, you're going…to…"
Asuka was horrified by what she saw, An unconscious, bleeding Sora, in Ikaruga's arms while Hibari panicked, and Yagyu tried to comfort her. The blonde girl then walked up to Asuka and said, "...we…we may have given the poor guy a concussion."
"Why…WHY DID YOU DO THIS, KATSURAGI?! HE WAS HARMLESS!" Asuka said as she rushed over to Sora. Katsuragi however said, "It was an accident! I thought he was you, and he tried to get away, but he accidentally bumped into Ikaruga-."
"But before that…I…I was getting out of the shower when I saw him. I thought he was an intruder, so…I-I'm sorry Asuka, I-I tried to kill him, even though your grandmother summoned him, I just…" Ikaruga then hugged Sora close while sobbing, showing how sorry she was for the whole situation.
The situation was dire as the girls rushed poor Sora to the Nurse's Office…
As Sora slept in one of the Nurse's rest areas, his head bandaged from the crash, he was approached by an elderly, tanned man with a large mustache, who examined Sora's wound and said, "It's amazing how powerful you are, my boy. Such an injury is a mere scrape compared to the natural injuries inflicted to the average citizen who smashes their head against a table. But then again, the tables the classrooms normally have are smaller than the average school desks. You're in fact very lucky…(hm-hm) AND quite noble, seeing as how you risked your right hand to protect your short-tempered classmate."
The elder then performed a spell of healing, mending the Keyblade Master's wounds…
"That should do the trick, and now, to wake the boy up." The elder said.
The geezer then slowly pulled out a Roshi-Rated Magazine and said, "OOH-LA-LA! THIS FINE-ASS BEAUTY IS AFTER YOUR HEART, YOU LUCKY DOG, NOW REACH FOR-!"
"..."
The old man was somewhat confused by what he heard, so he leaned over with his left ear in front of Sora's mouth. The elder then asked, "What did you say young man?"
"...Don't…treat women…like objects…you…(bleep) pervert."
Sora's words caught the elder off guard, making the naughty senior fall over from his chair!
Sora then started waking up, rubbing his eyes while slowly getting up. At that moment, he noticed an old man lying dizzy on the ground. Without noticing the Porn Magazine, Sora helped the old man back on the chair and asked, "Hey, mister, what were you doing down there?" The old man then answered, "Well if you must know, young man, Someone had a different reaction than what I was used to. Makes an old man wonder if the current generation really HAS grown from such literature. A sad possibility indeed."
Sora couldn't help but suspect the elder was intending something rather inappropriate, but he still felt like the old man was there for a reason, so he asked, "So, are you…the Nurse of Hanzo National Academy?"
"CAN YOU REALLY SEE AN OLD MAN LIKE ME PLAYING MEDIC FOR A BUNCH OF KIDS?! The upside to being a Nurse is seeing the lovely ladies whenever they come in, but when it comes to the boys...(shivers) Anywho, you're not speaking to the Nurse, kiddo, you are in fact speaking to the person who MADE Hanzo National Academy." Sora then asked, "So…you're an architect?"
"MY NAME IS IN THE SCHOOL'S NAME YOU PINE-HEADED-! (ahem) My name is Hanzo, the Ninja Master who ushered in the school for ninjas, and we have much to talk about, my boy, especially since my dear wife summoned you to help in the fight against the Four Fiends." the elder explained.
Sora was indeed surprised to know an elderly pervert could also be two surprising people at once. So he turned towards him and said, "Mr. Hanzo, sir, I'm sorry for what happened in your school-!" Hanzo however said, "No need for apologies, in fact, keeping a student from getting hurt was very admirable. Such self-sacrifice is worthy of my teachings. And since Sayuri, as well as my granddaughter, Asuka, have shown you the same modesty, allow me to do so in kind…"
Hanzo helped Sora out of bed, cleared his throat, and in a flash, and an epic pose for flare, Hanzo handed him an ID Card for his school and a few essentials in a large bag, such as school clothes, books, blank paper, pencils, erasers, pens, and a trusty calculator!
"Brave Keyblade Master, Sora, WELCOME TO MY SCHOOL!"
Minutes later, Sora returned to the classroom where he was attacked…
…while his every move was watched by his fellow classmates.
Asuka however was nice enough to break the ice and tug him over to the chalkboard, where she said the following, "Today, we of the Hanzo National Academy introduce a new student! Not just any student in fact, one who was summoned by my grandmother to help us against the Heartless, AND their masters, the Four Fiends." What Asuka explained widened a few eyebrows, as well as Yagyu who said, "Well that explained the Halo on his head." Asuka then continued, "Yes, he died to save a dear friend, and until his deal with grandmother has been fulfilled, he will remain in our world while helping us against our common foe. Please welcome the Keyblade Wielder, Sora!"
Sora looked around, starting with Katsuragi, who…liked what she was seeing. Then at Yagyu, who was unimpressed by the Keybearer. Next, he looked at Hibari, who kindly bowed to him, urging him to bow back in respect. And lastly, at Ikaruga, who stood poised and ready for anything, making Sora a little on edge since she attacked him earlier, never even realizing that deep inside, Ikaruga was lost in thoughts of regret and self-loathing.
Sora then said, "Sorry if I caused any trouble earlier-."
"-I'm Hibari! And it's a pleasure to meet a real Angel!" Hibari said happily. Sora then tried to explain what he was, "-A-ANGEL? W-well, I'm flattered, but I don't have wings, so it may be safe to just call me a Spirit-." Yagyu however said, "It's rare for Hibari to see a fictional creature, just let her have this one…Sora." Sora sighed and said, "...I was never the type to break hearts, so I'll be you guys' Angel from now on." Yagyu offered her hand for Sora to shake, and as the two shook them, Yagyu smiled and said, "Angel or not, you've earned our friendship in more ways than one. Call me Yagyu, like Hibari, I am a 1st year student." Sora then said, "It's nice to meet you Yagyu, you and Hibari."
Katsuragi then approached Sora and said, "Hey-hey now, don't leave a girl waiting, let ME have a turn with the new toy." Sora then glared at Katsuragi and said, "Oh yeah…I forgot about you. YOU were the one creeping and crawling around me like a Cockroach!"
"Eww. Please don't-." Before Katsuragi could finish, Sora said, "Do me a favor, don't EVER touch me again. Last time, it nearly killed me AND a student, so for her sake, try being less of a pervy jerk and more of a Ninja!"
Katsuragi was quiet, as if she was being interrogated by an unwanted cop…
Sora then looked at Ikaruga and asked, "...I'm sorry about earlier. Are you alright?" Ikaruga answered, "...You kept my head from being injured, and took the impact. And after I tried taking your life…" Sora then said, "Happens all the time to be honest. I was once attacked by a giant snow monster who thought I was trying to hurt his princess. But when she was kidnapped by a guy who thought he could pull one over on her and her sister, the monster and I teamed up and saved them. So don't worry too much about the misunderstanding."
Ikaruga then said, "So aside from being a Keyblade Wielder, you are also an experienced Adventurer it seems. I…would like to hear more tales about your adventures." Sora nodded and said, "It would be a pleasure to tell you. Oh, earlier, Hibari called you…Ikaruga, am I right?" Ikaruga smiled and said, "Yes, I am Ikaruga, I also happen to be the class's president." Katsuragi then said, "AKA, the Rep, she's been the leader of our group a few times, but dear Asuka over here was the newly-appointed leader of us during important missions and tournaments!" Asuka then said, "J-just for those occasions, I wouldn't dream of taking Ikaruga's role away from her."
(POOF)
Suddenly, a puff of smoke filled the room, clouding everyone's sight…
…until, standing before Sora, was a 40 year old, white-haired man in a black suit. His brown eyes looked into Sora's and said, "I certainly hope Asuka hasn't distracted our new student from his first day at our school." Asuka sweated as the man glared at her. So she said, "O-of course not, Sensei, I was being responsible and helpful!" The man then looked at Sora and said, "I can tell, the boy seems to be in good spirits, despite the gash from earlier, he seems more than willing to forgive and forget."
"-Not all of them sir…I'm sorry, but…even though your students are exceptionally capable and skilled, one of them…I can't really consider a fellow student." The teacher then said, "Looks like we have our first lesson for today then. Despite your feelings, Sora, I would insist you at least try to forgive your classmate. No human being is perfect, we each have our flaws, and I'm sure you have your own." Sora then said, "She…violated me."
The teacher then froze and glared with red, burning eyes at Katsuragi, who then said, "Look, I get how you're a LITTLE on edge after my little…moment, but seriously, I-!"
"-Katsuragi, you and Sora will settle your differences in the Training Room."
The Classroom became silent as the teacher gave his order, while Sora and Katsuragi looked at one another with stern and annoyed glares…
End of Chapter 6
Next Chapter...
Sora and Katsuragi are asked by the teacher to fight in a training match, where they unleash their all!
