Kaiju Fighters Ch. 52
At the Base, Gojira is in the training hall lacking his signature jacket and glasses. He had decided to test the new equipment to see how they hold up. Most of them survived.
In truth, the kaiju had no reason to exercise. He is only here just to do something. Kimiko is coming over to take him on another date and the others are just out in the city somewhere. Other than Mosura, Caesar, and the Shobijin, he is the only one there.
As Gojira was about to break another specially made punching back, he senses a familiar presence.
"We're not going to need to replace those again are we, Gojira?" comes Mosura's voice.
Gojira turns to give her a bow. "Sorry, Mosura. I was just bored."
"I can see that," she notes the damaged workout equipment in the corner of the room.
The kaiju king walks over to the bench where his jacket and glasses lie. "So, to what do I owe the visit?" he puts his jacket on and places his glasses in one of its pockets. "Not that I don't appreciate it."
"We have hired a new employee to assist us in our cause."
"Another human I'm guessing."
"Yes. And she's actually someone we know," when Mosura said that she gets Gojira's full attention.
"Who is it?"
"Well," Mosura gestures to the entrance. "Why don't you see for yourself?"
Standing in the doorway is an average sized woman with short, brown hair and brown eyes. She is wearing a white button up blouse, black jacket over it, a black skirt, and heels. She also has a pair of earrings that bare the familiar peace sign of Mosura's. "Greetings," she bows.
Gojira's eyes widen, "Aunt Miki!?"
.oOo.
After a long day of filing reports, Kimiko strolls into the building eagerly wanting to spend the rest of day with Goji. The agent thought that with a new liaison, that paperwork would ease up on her end. If she didn't know any better, Kimiko would think that it had doubled.
Kimiko sighs as the human can't wait until she is with her boyfriend for the rest of the day. She's known Goji for a while, and they only got together not long ago. But even then she still could not believe it.
Goji was always a hard book to read. Always so stern and temper mental. But underneath all that, he's actually a softie. Just as long as you were on his good side. Kimiko is one of the few people who could get a smile out of him with ease.
Kimiko arrives at her boyfriend's bedroom door. He's usually in there around this time just waiting for her. After knocking on the door, she opens it when there wasn't an answer. Looking around she realizes no one's here.
Leaving the room, she makes her way down the hall. He has to be training, she thought. When she got to the doors of the training hall, Kimiko started hearing grunts. She thought for sure she had found him. However, when she opened the doors, the only one in the room was Caesar doing his usual exercises.
"Hello there, Agent Miyagi!" the shisha stops after noticing that he is no longer alone. "I wasn't expecting company."
"Sorry to interrupt, Caesar," Kimiko bows. "But I was looking for Goji. You wouldn't happen to know where he is?"
"I believe I saw him heading towards the R 'n R with our guest."
"Guest?"
"Yes. She was a lovely young woman. She's actually the latest employee that Mosura hired herself."
Kimiko's eyes widen as the shisha tells her this. "Thank you," she says as she rushes out of the door and down the hall. No! That can't be it. Just can't be. As those thoughts went through her mind Kimiko made it to the R 'n R and stopped at the doors. Hesitating, Kimiko slowly and carefully cracked it open enough so she could peek through.
There is Goji smiling at another woman. They are talking, but Kimiko can't tell what about. Then they started laughing. What are they doing? The agent thought as she pulled out her phone and dials up a friend for help. "Hey, Liz! I need a favor."
.oOo.
After Mosura took Miki to see Gojira, she suggested that they go to the R & R to catch up. Mosura then left for her office to let them talk. For a while though, they just sat on the couch in complete silence.
Miki is the first to speak "So, Aunt Miki?" The psychic questions.
"Well, um, yeah. You were always there with my mom," Gojira explains.
"That makes sense. I would have loved Asuza as a sister," Miki gives him a smile and Gojira response with his own smile. Then Miki begins laughing.
"What?"
"I was just remembering all those times you stole Asuza's shoes."
Revisiting the old memory causes Gojira to join her in the laughter fit. After a few moments his phone went off. Checking the device, Gojira knew that it would have to be either Kimiko or one of the others needing help with something.
Miki is curious as Gojira's brows furrow "Is something wrong?"
"It's a message from Anguirus. It says that it's urgent and that I need to meet him at the entrance as soon as possible," the kaiju quickly jumps off the couch, heads for the balcony, and leaps over the railing knowing that the entrance is only a few floors down.
Miki just sits there, staring at the glass doors of the balcony. Trying to figure out what just happened.
Then Kimiko slams the doors open. She has a determined look on her face as she walks up to Miki.
"I don't know who you think you are or what you're doing, but you're going to stop!" She looks down at her.
"Excuse me?" Miki responds.
"Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about." the agent bends towards her. "Getting all lovey dovey with my Goji."
"Your Goji?" just then Miki realizes what this woman is talking about. She takes a slow, calm breath, closes her eyes, and her earrings start glowing.
"That's right. And you better…" Kimiko stops mid-sentence as an image flashes before her eyes.
.oOo.
"Asuza!" Miki calls as she walks into the habitat. Getting closer to the fencing, she notices one shoe on the other side.
"Baby!" Asuza's voice calls out as she steps out of the bushes. The woman is wearing jeans, a blue button up shirt, work gloves, and boots. she has long black hair tied up in a bun.
Miki laughs "He stole your shoes again?"
Asuza takes notice of her presence. "Yeah! I honestly don't know why he does that. Baby!" she hollers again. "Baby, you better return my shoe or you're going to be in big trouble!"
Just then, a rustling comes from the piles of straw on the other side of the enclosure. Rising from the dead grass is a dinosaur no bigger than Asuza. This dinosaur has bluish skin with a grey underbelly and small grey dorsal plates on its back. It also has four clawed feet and hands. The baby's eyes are yellow with a red ring around them. Inside its mouth, the dinosaur carries a sneaker.
Asuza walks up to Baby, "There you are, Baby."
Baby drops the shoe in his mother's hand and looks up at her, pleading with innocence in his eyes. Then, he starts licking her on the side of her face causing Asuza to laugh.
.oOo.
"Sorry for the misunderstanding," Miki apologizes after giving Kimiko the vision.
Kimiko just stares at the psychic for a few moments, still trying to wrap her head around at what she just saw. "Was that—"
"Gojira? Yes, yes it was."
"And that woman?"
"Asuza Gojo. She was a dear friend of mine and Gojira's adoptive mother."
The agent takes a seat on the couch. "I see."
They sat still for a moment. "Would you like some tea?" Miki gets up and heads towards the kitchen area.
"Yes, that would be nice," Kimiko gets up to follow Miki. Sitting down at the table she asks. "Can you tell me more about them?"
