Kiryu Kazuma. One of the greatest and most attractive characters ever thought up. He can fight at peak strength, take out enemies with heat moves, and best of all, he's red colored and knows how to handle the Fellas. Speaking of Fellas, the Yakuza universe might also be classified as "Hot Dude Heaven" because there's such a mess of very beautiful and tough men that it will make you love the franchise even more! And since Valentine's Day is around the corner, I've been inspired to make a top 10 list of the most beautiful male yakuza characters. Grab yourself a snack and a glass of staminan X, and try not to reach through the screen because HERE WE GO!
10: Try this question on for size. Who chases and fights Kiryu all the time and wields a powerful tanto? Why it's Majima Goro of course! Though more of a cutie than a hottie, you can't deny the fact that he’s still attractive. Two things that make him attractive are the fact that he wears snake skin jacket, and when have you ever seen an eyepatch on somebodies left eye? I haven't! So once again, Majima Goro is lovely; that is until he goes mad dog and starts cutting stuff with his tanto.
Who's at number 9? It's this 6th chairman from tojo clan. Daigo, from Yakuza 2. He got a message saying that Tojo Clan was under attack by the opposite clan Omi Alliance. He doesn't do much except get shot in the chest and drink alcohol. The real reason he lands at the #9 is that he becomes Shinada Tatsuo’s sweetheart, something Shinada needed for a long while.
Numero Ocho. Kiryu Kazuma’s mother, Kashiwagi. Hes attractive and the size of an average human mother. What really surprises me about him is that the ex-detective, Koichi Adachi, falls in love with him. Kinda silly, don't you think? He’s another character that doesn't do much, but in Yakuza 7, He helps Ichiban Kasuga have a place to stay along with his friends.
What number's next? Seven, of course. Yoshitaka Mine from Yakuza 3. People always root for the good guys, but sometimes, the bad guys steal the show.His mathematic IQ is equal to Sera. He also happens to be the smartest member of Tojo Clan. I wonder why he isn't the chairman. Like Ryuji Goda and Nishiki, his specialty is dying. With a stunning laugh and soulless eyes, Mine will rock your socks. If only we could see him take wing.
Numero Six. Ichiban Kasuga from Yakuza 7. Named after the number one, Ichiban is the son of Masumi Arakawa. He’s a newer character that hardly does a thing except beg his brother to stop being so violently mysgonisic. He also traps himself inside a box so that he could get a jump on lower ranked Liumang. When you're the son of a person in the killer Arakawa gang, you need to look your best and Ichiban delivers perfectly. That's why he’s #6.
Number #1, #2, #3, #4, #5! Ah-Ah-Ahhh! Saejima Taiga from Yakuza 5. How could you go wrong with a guy that looks like this? He can fight nearly as good as Kiryu and he went from being a Prisoner to being a Top Tojo Clan executive. Next to Majima he looks more collected than the other characters. Who could top someone who has a bald ass head?
This fella standing at number 4: Ryuji Goda. One word: TITS. How would you like to have that cup size? I mean Ryuji could play around in the Himalayas for hours and he would be perfectly fine! Also, his blonde hair makes him look like an American. I really like the fact that he has a relationship with the Jingweong agent Joon-Gi Han. The combination of this gay couple makes these two a reliable couple. But what lands Ryuji in the #4 spot is that his attitudes is apparently different from the other males.
Next up is #3. What's better than having a Male with Huge Tits? How about a Male with Huge Tits and Ass? Shinada Tatsuo, another Kiryu Saga has that feature. He’s Active, knows exactly what to do as a Nightlife Writer, and even fought Amon once. He’s also the guy of Daigo's dreams. Heh, lucky him. His younger self in the spin-off: The Wandering Dragon is just downright hot! Just look at them big tiddies! Now we're talkin'!
1, 2, button my shoe! Kiryu Kazuma. There's a lot to say about this character. He’s the heir to the Kazama Family, Yakuza’s first official protagonist, the only character that used to say slurs, brave and athletic, the most kind character, and is like a father to Haruka. In the Sixth installment of the series, The Song of Life, one antagonist, the sexy Joon-Gi Han constantly tries to woo Kiryu, but doesn't succeed because... he fucking dies! The Dragon is also a semi-perfect example of an excellent protagonist, although there were a couple of times when he really snapped and acted like a lunatic; in the early installments, that is. But overall, Kiryu Kazuma really stands out amongst the slew of males not just because he’s Yakuza’s first official protagonist, or because he’s the only one who show his ass three times, but because in the comics, he grew very perky boobs, and married Majima in the future, becoming the 5th Chairman.
So, you've seen a Yakuza Chairman, a baseball star, two gorgeous Ex-Yakuza, and even a Dragon! Who could possibly top those kinds of Males? Well, get ready folks; this is the #1 hottest Yakuza Male character. Yu Nanba. If anybody denies it, how dare you? This man can summon pigeons, he’s as strong as a paper bag, and is a manloser, seducing other characters into getting what he wants. Instead of having one love interest, he has two! Ichiban and Tianyou Zhao. Being a homeless man, his only interested in one object set; Alcohol, especially the Legendary Malt. There actually have been situations where Nanba’s cock and balls has been exposed, but it eventually got censored. What a price to pay. I think the best part about this beauty is that he wears three different outfits unlike the other male characters. And who wouldn't want to Sleep at anytime, be strong as a fetus, and flirt with any male, anytime, anywhere. These three traits make Yu Nanba triumph over all of the Yakuza malws. My hat goes off to you Sega Team Japan. You oughta be proud.
There ya have it folks. Those were the hottest male fellas in the Yakuza universe. I hope you enjoyed it, happy Valentine's Day, and I'll see you later. HERE WE GO!

Murder of Sonic The Hedgehog Explained
Ichiban : I cannot believe you pranked us to think you were murdered. We worried for a Danganronpa-like mystery novel game but then you entirely played a prank to all fans around the world! We’re you even thinking we the guys of Sega are sick and tired of April Fools jokes? All our companies do is to make simple pranks. One time they made Yakuza 7 a game that was originally an April fools joke, the joke that started the real game Yakuza 7.
Sonic : Oh yeah, I was going to tell you that the Murder of me is actually an April Fools Joke. We been planning to do an April fools joke on a mystery train and therefore there was no murder of me and I wanted to apologize for pranking the fans.
Ichiban : Oh really?
Sonic : (takes a pill to put it in his mouth, and then drinks some water to swallow) Funny thing is, I don’t do April fools pranks! I always hated April fools. That’s the reason of Sega isn’t going to make another gaming prank of a murder mystery about me anymore.
Ichiban : Are you swallowing a pill to get those migraines out of you?
Sonic : What do you expect? If there wasn't really a murder of me, I would be explained to tell that if I was really dead and went to heaven or in hell for kissing a character that isn't animal.
Ichiban : Uhh, Mr Sonic. Those aren't your meds...
Sonic : What? (Looks at a bottle of Cyanide pills) Somebody changed my pills! (Before dying) Son of a b*tch, Sega! (Collapses and dies)
Silver : Ahh, sh*t! Not again!
[scene flips]
Tails : Okay, I get it. So the Murder of Sonic the hedgehog was actually a simple April fools prank by Sega all along. and this for all the thanks for getting that April fools prank.
Mecha Sonic : None of this would happen if that Mephiles guy killed him in the first place! No wonder why any sonic villain would want to murder him and get away with that.
Barry the Protagonist : Who?
Mecha Sonic : You know, the recolored Shadow guy, who manipulated Silver into killing him, brought devastation to the release of Iblis, burned down an entire city, the guy's a freakin' maniac!
Tails : Ohhh...and what are we doing exactly?
Knuckles : We're doing a reenactment of the infamous Sonic 06 scene, where sonic is about to resurrect with the help of princess who is about to do...Uhh, what's that I'm looking for?
Tails : The kiss.
Knuckles : Oh, right! The kiss. The human on furry kiss! This is the scene where sonic is getting kisses from a human! It's a gosh dang disgrace!
Shadow : Who even writes this stuff?
[Shows Elise, who is about to revive Sonic by kissing him in the mouth]
Sonic : It worked! I'm alive! I've been kissed again by--
[record Scratch]
Sonic : Yeah, huh? (It is revealed that the person who revived him with a kiss was nothing more than Miku herself) Miku, what are you doing here? And why did you kiss me on the mouth?
Miku : I'll tell you why, some jerkbutt managed to pranked you of being murdered by allowing you to swallow some cyanide pills into thinking someone murdered you on a mystery train.
Sonic : Whaaaat??!? [gets angry, yelling] SONIC.EXE!!!
[Sonic and the gang runs up to Sonic.EXE, angry]
Sonic : You! You told us that Eggman was the culprit and I was dead! How can you tell me that the murder of me was just a prank to kill us all with Cyanide Pills!?
Eggman : What is the meaning of this April fools joke of yours?! You made us look like imbeciles!
Sonic EXE : Not to worry, guys. You'll be happy to get your own Cyanide Pills while eggman gets his pills last. [Pills last is repeated three times deeper]
[Sonic Becomes shocked with Eggman's Theme music playing as voices are heard, he suddenly imagines himself at a table with a Koco at the seat across from him]
Sonic : Yes, Mr. Koco. I would love another spot of tea for myself. [Holds up the pizza casserole] Care for some Pizza casserole? [Crazed laughter. Camera zooms in on his pupil, and the scene cuts back to real life]
Amy : Sonic? You okay there, buddy? [Sonic is dazed and then faints] [yelling] Sonic! [The imaginary scenario ends with Eggman in real life]
Eggman : [talking to Sage] And that's why the murder of Sonic is the best April Fools Story, ever.
Rouge : That was a certainly nice story that you told us, [freaks out] RIGHT AFTER SONIC.EXE HAS RULED THE ENTIRE WORLD AS THE OVERLORD!
[Camera zooms out to show the group are being crucified in the bad future, while Sonic.EXE is shown sitting on a throne wearing a crown and cape and laughs evilly]
Eggman : Well, it was worth an April fool's story to tell you about it.
Metal Sonic : Being Overlord was my thing.
Shadow : [to Eggman] April Fools...Jerk.
Sonic : Well, at least I may not be murdered with crime, but at least it was a decent prank for having Sega getting involved with the April Fool's jokes.
Miku : Agree.
Sage : If there was only a way to help us with hope, we might get out of this.
Chris Thorndyke [O.S] : Don't worry, guys! I am here!
Tails : Hooray! Chris is here and he's about to--(Chris gets killed, offscreen) Aw, they killed him.
Sonic : Happy April fool's day, everyone!
[The Words "HAPPY APRIL FOOL'S DAY" is written in blood]

Yellow Dragon Wandering Chronicles [RGGO] --- Ch. 6
Chapter 1 | Chapter 2 | Chapter 3 | Side Story | Chapter 4 | Chapter 5 | Chapter 6
[6-1] | [6-2] | [6-3] | [6-4] | [6-5] | [6-6] | [6-7] | [6-8] | [6-9]
Previously: The Jingweon Mafia orders Han Joon-gi to kill Ryuji to avoid conflict with the Tojo Clan 7 years too early. Now with 3 groups aiming for Ryuji’s death, they decide to work together. In between Ryuji and Joon-gi angsting, Takayama prodding the story into an actual BL drama, and Kuze just wanting to go home already, Ichiban takes action and turns Ryuji into swiss cheese and dumps him in the river, much to everyone’s shock.
Sorry for the delay! Urgent stuff IRL came up D: but we’re finally here! Final chapter alt title:”Greatness and freedom are sadly mutually exclusive”. No particular spoilers as far as I can tell, but throwbacks to what happened in previous chapters :D
[Finale: End of the Journey]
.
CHAPTER 6-1
.
Ryuji: “Uugh . . . gohaack . . . ! Gohagh . . . . . . guh . . . . . .”
{There’s loud splashing as a body is dragged out of the water.}
Ryuji: “Ugh . . . . . .”
?: “. . . . . . Geez, you’re a big guy.”
----
Ryuji: “. . . . . . ugh . . .”
Ryuji: “. . . . . . . . . why am I alive . . .”
Suspicious Man: “Ooh, you really woke up.”
Ryuji: “Ah . . . ?”
Suspicious Man: “Don’t move. Your wounds haven’t closed yet. You need complete bed rest for another month, if you don’t want to die.”
Ryuji: “. . . you a doctor?”
Underground Doctor: “Underground. Now let me have a little look.”
{Ryuji grabs the doctor.}
Underground Doctor: “Uguh . . . ?! It-It hurts . . .”
Ryuji: “Who told you to help me?!?! Ya dumbass!!!!”
Underground Doctor: “Guh . . . ! Le-Let go . . . !”
{The door creaks open.}
?: “Oi, oi! What are you doing?!”
Kasuga: “What the hell are you doing to your lifesaver, you idiot! Let go of him quickly!”
Ryuji: “. . . . . . You?”
Underground Doctor: “Uguh!”
{Ryuji drops the doctor to the floor.}
Kasuga: “O-Oi, don’t stand up! Why are you getting up . . .”
Ryuji: “You . . . did something so unnecessary . . . ?”
Kasuga: “If that’s how you see it, why not treat me to yakiniku then?”
Ryuji: “Looking down on me, you . . .”
Kasuga: “Is that wrong? What a shame.”
Ryuji: “Stop running your mouth . . . or I’ll do it for ya!!!!”
Kasuga: “Sorry Sensei, we’ll be making a bit of noise.”
Underground Doctor: “Geez . . . adding insult to injury.”
{Ichiban wipes the floor with Ryuji.}
Ryuji: “Guh . . . ! Shit . . . !”
Kasuga: “You’re still moving . . . ? The Omi is anything but a mere injured fellow. But—oraaa!!”
{Ichiban hits Ryuji one more time. Ryuji collapses.}
Kasuga: “As expected, I can’t lose to a dying opponent. Sleep for a while and cool your head. Stupid guy.”
Ryuji: “Ugh . . . shit . . . . . .”
----
Ryuji: “Ugh, guh . . .”
Kasuga: “Hmm . . . ?”
Kasuga: “Ooh . . . you’re up?”
Ryuji: “! Whose side are ya on . . . ?!”
Kasuga: “What, is it this again?”
Ryuji: “. . . . . . tch.”
Kasuga: “Sensei is out right now. Please apologize to him later.”
Ryuji: “. . . . . . Why did ya help.”
Kasuga: “. . . . . . Ah . . . that’s right. ‘Once the mind is made up on killing the enemy, I will track you down and kill you even to the utmost ends of the earth’ . . . that’s my motto.”
Ryuji: “. . . ah?”
Kasuga: “The ‘mind is made up’ is the miso. Who decides whether or not I should kill you? Is it Oyassan? Or those from the head family?”
Ryuji: “Oi . . . what are ya saying?”
Kasuga: “Well, listen. I’m not good at explaining. I always thought I play as the bullet, and someone else is the trigger. But that’s not the case. Before I left Tokyo, Oyassan said this to me. ‘See, listen, and think about whether to kill . . . you decide, Ichi’.”
----
Kasuga: “Decide for myself . . . ?”
Arakawa: “That’s right.”
Kasuga: “But Oyassan, if I think I don’t want to kill the target . . . ?”
Arakawa: “Then pretend you killed them properly and let them escape overseas.”
Kasuga: “. . . . . .”
Arakawa: “Ichi . . . this is the first time you’ve done a ‘killing’ job. So I wanted to tell you. We are being used and will be thrown away. That’s how it is. But—we are the ones holding the gun. Don’t become the bullet that only flies.”
Kasuga: “. . . !”
Arakawa: “See, listen, and think about whether to kill . . . you decide, Ichi. That is our creed.”
Kasuga: “. . .”
Arakawa: “In the end, if you decide to kill the target—”
Kasuga: “—kill him even to the utmost ends of the earth.”
Arakawa: “Heh. You got that?”

if you're still feeling like playing the rgg game can you answer: a3, a4, a7, b4, b5, c2, c10, e2, f7?
Yeah yeah yeah! <3
A) Just Your Faves:
3.Favorite Protagonist(s)
Ichiban Kasuga
Ichiban is just such a breath of fresh air; he's funny, relatable, charismatic. I'm more partial to a protag that's upbeat and a little dumb as opposed to someone stoic. I'll give Majima an honorable mention as he's also a lot of fun to walk through a story with.
4. Favorite Antagonist(s)
Jin Kuwana. Like many who love this character, it's tied to a personal history of being bullied. There's only so much "waiting for things to change" before you can't take it anymore. Having someone like Kuwana who has decided that kids are dying now, I'm not waiting for the law is a comfort. "Doing what is right" isn't always going to mean following the law. AND HE'S SUPER CUTE JUST LOOK AT HIM. HE'S MY BABYGIRL
7. Favorite substory(ies)
I loved hunting for the squirrels in Lost Judgment, and looking for cats in Judgment. In general I love answering the call of the primal urge to hunt and gather.
B) Let's get Personal:
4. Who would you like to post more, but don't? Why don't you?
Watase...because I've combed through his tag like five or six times and reblogged everything just as much...and a good bit of the tag is just me being an idiot LMAO
5. Which character do you think you would bump heads with most if you knew them in real life?
Masato Arakawa & Yoshitaka Mine. The problem being we're too much alike. The three of us in a room would be an insufferable nightmare. Three introverted loners, two with a complex of being the sibling no one not even your own parents liked? We gotta open a window the edge and depression is curling the paint help.
C) Let's be Subjective
2. Which game had the worst plotline?
It's a tie between Y4 & Y6. TBH I couldn't tell you one fucking thing about Y6 and I played it twice other than its shit ending...all of it is shit I hate Y6 LOL. And Y4 is just - I don't get how it's a fan favorite, Akiyama I'm certain is the only reason why anyone holds it in such regard.
10. Which game do you think should get a remake?
You could remake Y6 and retcon Haruka shaking up with bighead and I'd be satisfied. You could retcon all of Y6 and I'd be over the moon. Part of that game's problem is it just felt like prestige tv. One really long showcase of star studded named like Shun Oguri, Beat Takeshi, Tatsuya Fujiwara, and Hiroyuki Miyasako. I mean I guess Y0 did that too but it did it well, this one did not.
E) This or That?
2. Bops: Haruka Sawamura, T-SET, or Dream Line?
Haruka Sawamura. So Much More is THE song okay. It's bright and catchy. And of course the all star remixes are so goodddddd.
It's funny her VA sings the same way for Rise Kujikawa, but I absolutely hateeee her! The character's personality definitely helps make music likeable.
F) Insert Yourself
7. Who are you fighting on top of the Millennium Tower rooftop?
I'm getting at least one swing at Kiryu and I'm gonna be screaming my qualms and crying the whole time cuz I'm so mad LMAO. You could line them all up and let me get one hit in though, I'll think of a reason why later >:3

Episode 1 (4/?)
勇利：僕の名前は 勝生勇利。どこにでもいる日本のフィギュアスケート、特別強化選手で23歳。強そうな名前だけど… 初グランプリファイナルで最下位。現実が まだ受け止めきれないよ。練習拠点をデトロイトに移して、 頑張ってファイナルまで来たのに、プレッシャーで試合前に やけ食いしたり、実家の犬が亡くなったり、メンタルもフィジカルも最悪。一番の晴れ舞台だったのに。まあ 全部 自分のせいなんだけど。
Yuuri: Boku no namae wa Katsuki Yuuri. Doko ni demo iru nihon no figyua sukeito tokubetsu kyouka senshu de, nijuusan-sai. Tsuyosouna namae dakedo... hatsu guran puri fainaru de saikai. Genjitsu ga mada uketome-kirenai yo. Renshuu kyoten o detoroito ni utsushite, ganbatte fainaru made kita noni, Puresshaa de shiai mae ni, yakeguishitari, jikka no inu ga nakunattari, mentaru mo fijikaru mo saiaku. Ichiban no hare butai datta noni. Maa zenbu jibun no sei nan dakedo.
Yuri: My name is Yuri Katsuki. Though you can find Japanese figure skaters everywhere, I’m a 23-year old skater who’s still growing stronger. My name sounds strong too... but I was last place at my first Grand Prix Final! I’m still kinda in denial about losing. I mean, I moved my home rink to Detroit and worked hard to make it to the finals! But the pressure made me stress eat and then my dog died -- I was at my worst both mentally and physically. And this was supposed to be my big break too! Well, it’s all my fault anyway.
Notes:
i did a lot of creative translation here
but the gist of this whole monologue is that yuri knows he’s a damn good skater and he’s really disappointed to the point of denial because he knows he could have done so much better
i mean, he literally says that it was supposed to be his shining moment on the world stage (basically)
first of, guys, in the first line i don’t think he’s saying, “i’m a dime a dozen figure skater from Japan”
he’s saying “there’s a lot of figure skaters across japan, but i’m especially strong”
our boy is bragging i swear
at least if i’m understanding it correctly
どこにでもいる(doko ni demo iru): anywhere exist
日本のフィギュアスケート (nihon no figyua sukeito): japanese figure skater
特別強化選手 (tokubetsu kyouka senshu): special + strengthening + athlete
強そう (tsuyosou) --> seems strong
you can add -sou to the end of adjectives to say “seems like adjective”
for i-adjectives, remove the -i, add -sou (tsuyoi (strong) --> tsuyosou (seems strong)
for na-adj, remove the -na, add -sou (kireina (beautiful) --> kireisou (seems beautiful)
kanji of yuri’s name: 勝生 (Katsuki) is literally win + life and 勇利 (Yuuri) is courage + profit. so definitely a strong sounding name.
受け止める (uketomeru): to catch, to come to terms with; literally “accept + stop”
受ける止めきれない (uketomeru-kirenai): adding きれない (kirenai) to a verb means that you cannot completely finish the action of the verb. so here, yuri is saying that he has not completely come to terms with the reality of his defeat AKA he’s totally in denial because he worked so hard D:
練習拠点 (renshuu kyoten): practice base = home rink
you can use the te-form of verb to make a clause, sort of like saying “and” (Renshuu kyoten o detoroito ni utsushite -- i moved my home rink to detroit and)
のに (noni): although, despite the fact that
〜たり、〜たり (-tari, -tari): use this verb form when you’re listing actions. for example, i did things like this and this and this, etc.
yuri uses this form to list some of the things that worked against him even though he worked so hard to make it: stress eating because of the pressure, poor vicchan dying, etc. the -tari form implies there were other reasons for his poor performance as well.
〜まえに (~mae ni): before ~
やけ食い (yakegui): binge eating, stress eating
実家 (jikka) = one’s parent’s home, so i guess it’s kind of like “uchi”
晴れ舞台 (hare butai) = big moment; literally “shining stage” (shining in the sense of the sun shining after the clouds clear away)
things in bold have links to external grammar guides (mostly maggie sensei)
hope this helps someone!!

A Silver Whirlwind Chapter 3: Midnight Eyes and Starry Eyes.
The S.S Kengan, a luxury liner! A massive palace for the war-weary fighters of the Kengan Annihilation tournament. But, for young Ichiban Tokita, a place for relaxation. Chiba was proud of his young protege. Yoshiro was practically aglow with joy. Yet…
Ichiban had never seen so many fancy things all in one place. He was quietly shocked, hovering near his master's side and looking out at all the people in fancy suits and ties and pretty dresses that he didn't get. He was wearing one of those suits and hated how much it constricted his movement. It was sharp and white, but he didn't like it. Why were the dresses so skimpy? Why was everyone treating this like it was normal?! The room was MASSIVE. He'd never seen the crystal chandeliers or the spread of food from all over the world. He didn't feel hungry at all.
"Oh? I see you're a little shell-shocked, don't worry!" Yoshiro dismissed, "Just let it all flow,"
"Flow?" Ichiban asked, "Like… my style?"
"If you'd like to think of it like that," Chiba commented, "Just follow my lead," Ichiban nodded, seeing so many things he'd never would if he stayed with Ohma. Either that or he would just not be as strong as he was now. Chiba noticed his student's discomfort and tapped him on the shoulder.
Ichiban dropped into his stance, "Whoa! It's just me, Ichiban, calm down," Chiba soothed, "How about you go outside and get some fresh air?" he suggested. Ichiban nodded and left the overly-opulent room, going out to the balmy veranda with a sigh of relief. He sighed and looked out at the faded purple robe of the sea.
Then, he saw a girl around his age, wearing one of those dresses but with odd leg-wraps on her legs, her long black hair was a high ponytail and she took off a pair of high heels. She looked at him with startling black and white eyes. Ichiban blinked mutely, he'd never seen someone like her. Someone with those oddly haunting eyes. She was sizing him up and he was sizing her up, his eyes inexorably pinned on hers. She ditched the heels.
"Fwahhh…! It's so good to be out of there!" she commented with a bright smile, making Ichiban's heart go BOOM. The eyes were on him again and he felt something burn up his cheeks.
"Yeah…" Ichiban mumbled, "You're tired of it too, right?"
The girl nodded, stepping closer and peering into Ichiban's eyes. She smiled and Ichiban looked down at his formal shoes in embarrassment. He remembered feeling those eyes on him before… a few months ago.
"Aw! You're blushing! What, have you never seen a girl before?" she taunted a little.
"Well… uhm…" Ichiban's articulation was dying, his master's lessons died in his mind, "I'm sorry for staring! I'll… I'll just… g-go," he stammered. The girl tilted her head to the side, the long swath of hair swinging a little like a hypnotist's charm.
"Back into the breach, huh?" she asked.
"W-well… no. I… just don't want to keep my master waiting! Yeah, yeah… that's it!" Ichiban exclaimed, "That an' I… I uh… have to…"
He was searching for an excuse to get out of this. He'd never seen such a pretty girl before. Of course, Ichiban had no idea who she was connected to. Not many went far in the underworld without hearing the name of Kure. Ichiban was one of the lucky few who didn't. Yet, someone was watching them. Ichiban couldn't shake that feeling but the girl took his wrist into her deceptively strong hand and led him away. He didn't even know her name.
"Okay! We're alone!" she exclaimed.
"Is… that a good thing?" Ichiban asked. The girl smiled and winked at him. She sat down on one of the deck chairs and Ichiban couldn't help but feel tense. She looked up at him with her white and black eyes, letting her hair loose.
"Depends. If I was an assassin going after the new challenger, I'd wait until they were alone," she said, "Besides, that's low,"
In the shadows, a figure darted out towards Ichiban, "And that… my dear fighter is a newbie assassin," the girl said, feeling the uncertain and undefined aura change into a fierce one and those dull silver eyes flare with starlight, he backhanded the unlucky assassin with a fist, making the guy stumble backward.
"Underestimation is common," the girl stated, "You have to prepare,"
Ichiban snarled, "Listen, Bright Eyes, I don't need the commentary! So shut up! TAIYAH!" he finished the guy off with the Steel Claw. The girl grinned widely up at him.
"I see now…" she breathed, the next two assassins were still amateurs. Ichiban was caught off guard and got nicked by a blade, he thumbed the cut and looked down at his hand. It was stained a little red.
"Heh, you got me!" he exclaimed, "But now I got you!" He rammed his knee into the assassin's gut, the second one smashing his fist into Ichiban's face. He stumbled back and the two assassins ganged up on him. He slid between them, acting woozy before slamming their heads together while ducking. He popped back up, "I did it! Hell yeah!" he squealed, pumping his fists in excitement. The girl smiled.
Ichiban's eyes dulled, "Man… Did I knock 'em out? Aw! But I wanted to try out my improved Steel Claw!" he sighed, "Dammit…" The girl was a little surprised about how normal he sounded when he just snapped at her earlier. Then it hit her… This was the boy she saw with the oddly undefined aura, she didn't exactly pay him any attention… but now? He was getting her full attention. Something about him screamed that he was strong, other than his oddly ever-changing aura and fighting style. His overly-long nails were a testament to the level of dedication he had.
The girl shook, shooting up and hugging him, catching the poor boy unawares and they landed on the deck, "I love you! I love you! I love you! I love you!" she squealed, "Give me my children! No, no, marry me! Then let me have your children!"
"Uhm… sure!" Ichiban exclaimed. He was so confused. One second the girl was staring at him and the next she pinned him?! What the hell was happening?! The girl kissed him passionately, pulling away at just the right moment to stare into his pretty silver eyes.
"My name's Karla Kure… It's nice to meet you," she sighed, kissing him again, "You're so powerful…"
"Uhm… great? I'm… Ichiban… T-Tokita," he mumbled.
"Ichiban… cute…" she sighed, "Such a cute name…"
"Uhm… can ya get off me?" Ichiban whined a little, trying to wiggle out of Karla's hold.
"No… I don't wanna leave my love…" she sighed, "I just met my soulmate…"
Ichiban wiggled and squirmed, being vice-gripped by the cute girl with those strange eyes. He had to break free, so the only way he could was… doing the mouth thing that she did to him. She was surprised, but leaned into it, with Ichiban rising and setting her down, running away with his fear on overdrive.
'Gotta find somebody! Master Chiba! Mister Yoshiro Yoshitake?! SOMEBODY WHO I KNOW!' he thought, still running until he slammed into his cabin door, yanking it open and shutting it tightly, shuddering. 'What… was that? Why did I… like that?' he thought.
In the morning, Lihito noticed the little Tokita eating alone with his eyes darting around. He sighed and sat down next to the poor kid. Ichiban jumped and almost beaned the superhuman on the head with his tray.
"Whoa! Calm down, Lil' Man! It's me! It's Lithito!" the man yelped, the kid blinked and smiled.
"Oh! Lithito! S-sorry… for a second there I thought you were… her," Ichiban determined. Lithito's eyes widened at the mention of a her, 'Did he run into that Rino chick? Or maybe one of those creepy-ass Kure Family members?' the man thought, seeing that Ichiban's food was annihilated when he swung his tray in a desperate attack.
"Wow, the pressure's already setting in…" Lithito sighed.
"No, you don't get it! Last night, I met this girl, right? And one second I'm fighting assassins, and the next she's on me and did some sorta weird mouth thing that made my pants feel weird and my cheeks got all hot an' stuff!"
Lihito snickered, "Go on," he said.
"And she was CUTE and I don't know what to do and her eyes were weird but also hot in a cool way and she was talking about babies and marriage and I agreed because I was scared!" Ichiban fretted, "Now I gotta worry about fighting on top of that little chestnut!"
Lihito grew serious, "Did she have white and black eyes?" he asked.
"Huhn? What's that got to do with anything?" Ichiban wondered, "She… well… she…"
"Answer the question," Lihito said flatly, "Because I don't wanna see your body turn into… kid, don't turn around, don't even think about moving,"
Ichiban felt someone's arms lock around him, "Good morning, Ichi! Sleep well?" Karla asked cheerily, leaning over him to stare right into those silver eyes of his. Ichiban looked impassive, but inside he was the epitome of freaking out.
This couldn't get any worse, Karla swung around and plopped herself on his lap, cuddling up with her new boyfriend, "Hmmm? What were you two talking about?" she asked.
"Uhm… GUY THINGS! Lithito, you saw that action movie on TV last night?!" Ichiban snapped, panicking.
"Oh yeah! That movie was awesome!" Lithito played along, the two men were nervous, and Karla could tell, she was an assassin after all. She pouted a little.
"You were talking about me, weren't you? Don't worry! I haven't told my grandfather about us yet…" she assured her reluctant boyfriend. Ichiban flinched and Lihito started to whistle idly.
"Gr-Grand… father?" he mumbled, "Why… why did she… have to… uuuurrrrhhhhhh…" Ichiban laid his head on the table, he was trying to keep a low profile, but of course his acquaintance Lihito and One-Sided Girlfriend Karla had to shoot that down.
"Ichiban!" a familiar voice snapped him out of his slump, seeing the familiar eyes of Kazuo Yamashita and seeing the middle-aged man waving to him. The silver-eyed and silver-haired boy sighed in relief at seeing the timid man run up to him with his former master Ohma and Miss Akiyama in tow.
Ohma looked at his former student, brown eyes scanning him, 'Hm. He's grown… but… that girl's… making him uncomfortable.' he thought.
"Hey you, you're making him uncomfortable," Ohma warned.
"By the way… who is that girl, Lihito?" Kazuo wondered Lihito swallowed his food as Karla tried to feed Ichiban but he was resisting.
"She's part of the Kure Family… a whole dynasty of assassins," Lihito said.
"Kure Family?" Ohma and Kazuo asked in unison.
Karla smiled, finally getting Ichiban to open up, "See? Not so bad now, is it?" she asked.
"Mmmm…." Ichiban groaned, looking at the others, the plea for help was clear in his eyes. Ohma smirked a little bit.
"Already finding trouble I see. You leave me for a month or two, pick up a new master and employment at Lihito's old position and now have a girl hanging off you?" Ohma taunted a little bit, ribbing his old student as Karla growled, shoving closer to Ichiban.
"Eeeehhhh…. Assassin? Family? Family of… assassins?!" Kazuo gasped, "That means… oh, poor Ichiban… he must've fallen into the wrong crowd!"
Karla gritted her teeth and buried her face into Ichiban's chest. He wanted to leave and just try to never speak to her again, throw himself off the ship and swim to a deserted island where it's just him and a ball he named Wilson.
"Uhm… Karla? Can I… get up?" Ichiban asked.
"Is it important?" she wondered.
"Yeah," Ichiban stated, Karla let go, kissing him on the cheek.
"Come right back, okay?" she instructed, Ichiban shakily nodded and booked it for the bathroom, going into a stall. He slammed it shut and started to breathe heavily. Why was he panicking? Was it because she strong-armed him into being with her?
Whatever happened to taking it slow? Meanwhile, Karla sighed. Maybe she was too forward with what she wanted? She was pent up due to her Great Grandfather being her most ardent 'Guy Repellent' Plus Ichiban was strong, and around her age, too. Being only a year apart.
So here they were. Karla Kure trying to think of ways to win Ichiban's heart the real way and Ichiban trying not to have a total mental breakdown.
Kazuo decided to talk with the young man to try and assuage his worries, while Karla just got up and left, embarrassed, and scared that her pent-up affections drove Ichiban off. The small, timid man scooched into the bathroom, finding that his fighter's former student had locked himself in the stall.
He rapped his knuckles on the door and he heard Ichiban's breath hitch, "Ichiban, it's alright, she's gone now," Kazuo assured.
"Why?" Ichiban asked.
"Because she feels bad," Kazuo reasoned. Ichiban opened the door and Kazuo smiled. He looked haggard and tired when he first saw him once they boarded the S.S Kengan after the preliminaries last night. It'd only been a few months and a few days since he last saw the silver-haired young man.
"See? It's okay now, do you have any questions?" he wondered.
"What's… marriage?" Ichiban wondered, "Karla said that she wanted to marry me… and… have my kids?"
"Oh! Oh… w-well, which one would you like to hear about f-first?" Kazuo wondered.
"Marriage," Ichiban stated, "It sounds nice, is it nice?"
"Well, yes! When you see that girl of your dreams walk down that aisle and grab your hands and go through the speech and the vows and all of that… you two stay together forever…" Kazuo muttered that last part reminded him of how his wife up and left after his son shut himself away.
"Forever?" Ichiban asked, Kazuo nodded with a fond smile and reached up to ruffle the boy's mop of silver hair.
"Forever, Ichiban. It's important that you choose someone you can be happy with," Kazuo said, "Let's go ahead and talk about what you like in a woman, that way if anything matches up with Karla you can be a little happier about it,"
"Okay…" Ichiban sighed, "They gotta be strong. They… they gotta understand that I'm not the best man in the world, but I'll try. They gotta understand that every blow I take and every hit I deal is for them and whoever else I'm attached to,"
"Okay, okay, that's good, any others?" Kazuo wondered.
"She's… gotta be proud to… be with me. The only thing I'm good at is fighting… and I know I can't do much else. I can't even READ but… If they want me to do anything I can do in my power to help them? I'd be there no matter what," Ichiban sadly smiled, "I'd be there to nurse 'em back to health, I'd be there when they're scared… I'd never abandon her…"
For the first time, Kazuo saw Ichiban cry. He patted Ichiban on the shoulder, this time they were outside, somewhere in private so he could air his grievances in peace.
"I'd protect her. I'd take care of her. No matter what. I'd even die for her! As long as she's happy… I'd do anything," Ichiban sniffled. Kazuo smiled.
"There… Do you feel better?" he asked.
"Yeah, thanks, Kazuo Yamashita," Ichiban said, walking off to go find Karla to talk to her. Kazuo smiled, seeing the young man start to walk away. Kazuo smiled a little bit wider, Karla and Ichiban were young, and it was natural that a boy like Ichiban being raised on the streets and just now forging a path through romance to be horribly in over his head.
Karla felt bad for forcing herself on Ichiban. She was in her room, burying her face into her pillows and screeching into them while kicking her feet in frustration. Ichiban was EVERYTHING she liked in a boy. Quiet, Good-Looking, Cutely Unaware of how pure he is.
Her other relatives had never seen her that frustrated before, but many of them knew to stay out of her way when she was. She grabbed her favorite book and went outside to think. She hated herself sometimes, but when she found somewhere quiet to read, she heard something.
"HWAH! HAIYAH! DO-YAH!"
Someone was training out his frustrations. Someone familiar and cutely familiar too. She saw him teetering and tottering into a fierce barrage of punches, flowing into a slashing movement with his hands. She did notice that he looked angry. His eyes were shining in the light and his hair was messy. Almost like he was nervous, he'd play with his hair or glance around. Yet this Ichiban was more than just frustrated.
He fell to the deck, panting and gasping, "Not… Good enough yet…" Karla looked over her book at him as he got up and walked over, he was muttering.
"Gr-Raa-Sss-Hooper?" he muttered, "No, no… that's… Grrr-aasssss-hoooppperrr?"
"Bi. Ant-Toon? Ch-che-check? Hove?" Ichiban guessed. Karla saw him sit down cross-legged on the deck next to her.
"You can't read?" she asked.
"I try," Ichiban stated, "Just uhm… lemme try again,"
Karla smiled a little bit, "If you don't get it, I can help," she said.
"No no, I got it this time… Anton… Checkhove! Graaaaassssssshhhhhhoooooppppperrrr?" Ichiban was still struggling, but wouldn't admit it.
"You have one part right," she stated.
"Ugh! It's not like fighting! But I know I won't have someone around to read everything to me! Grrraaah! I'm so frustrated I might just hunt down an assassin and beat the shit outta him!" Ichiban roared, making Karla laugh aloud.
"What's so funny?" Ichiban asked.
"It's cute how angry you get! It's like a pufferfish! You puff out your chest and get all red-faced!" she chuckled, making Ichiban furiously blush.
"Well I'm not the one that got full-speed tackled by the prettiest girl I've ever seen," Ichiban taunted, smirking a little.
"Touche," Karla admitted.
"What's that mean?" Ichiban asked, tilting his head to the side.
"It means you made a fair point," she explained, "What're you here for, anyway?" she wondered.
"I… just wanted… well… uhm… you know how to read and all that… and… well… can you… read to me?" Ichiban asked, "I'm okay with it if you don't want to, but if I hear it maybe I'll get better at reading it?"
Karla grinned and started from the beginning, watching Ichiban slowly start to slide closer to her to look over her shoulder at the words, sounding them out quietly next to her. She continued,
Ichiban was quietly listening and getting better, she noticed something about him that she never saw long on the younger members of the family. It was that wonder-struck, innocent look that just screamed that he was liking what he was doing.
He was figuring it out, and he was so close she could smell the odd smell of sweat and the salty air from the sea. The way his eyes seemed to follow and dance across the page, slowly, like a waltz.
She didn't notice that his arm was resting around her, leaning against her because he was getting sleepy. Then, she heard a quiet sigh and he… was out like a light. She looked around hurriedly for any of her relatives, she couldn't be SEEN with him! This would be blown out of proportion and pretty much bombed from the start by her Great Grandfather!
She shoved him up, 'Okay… time to put in all those years of training to work!' she tried to pick him up, "Oof! Damn, what are they feeding you? You're solid mus-"
"Mm? No… No, I don't think… that's flammable, sir…" Ichiban mumbled in his sleep, "Nevermind… I got a… date…"
Karla started to drag him, "Come… on! Come on! If any of the others see me with him, it's game over! I don't wanna scare him with… that… but I gotta get him to his-" she was cut off by seeing a man with a shaggy bob-cut and the same white and black eyes with a serious face all the time.
'Shit! It's Hollis! Okay, just uh…' Karla asked, shoving her comatose friend behind a pillar just as Hollis was rounding the corner. He saw her and she smiled.
"Oh! Hollis, what a nice surprise!" she exclaimed.
"I know you're hiding something, I recorded the whole thing," he stated, "Need some help?"
Karla was shocked, but Ichiban's sleeping body fell to the floor, "And… then… Karla… an' I… had THREE babies… one… on their… own and twins…" he mumbled in his sleep.
"You like him, don't you? I won't tell Grandfather, but… one day you'll have to tell him," Hollis stated.
"Eh?! Well… as long as HE doesn't know… I think we'll be okay, I'm fine with Grandfather knowing. Ichi's not that bad, he may be a little too innocent but it's cute," Karla admitted, "Okay! I got his arms, you got his legs," she declared.
"Or, I could just take him and you can mind your own business," Hollis reasoned, but Karla remained stalwart.
"You don't even know where his room is!" Karla snapped.
"So? I know YOU do," Hollis stated.
"What?! Nooooo…" Karla scoffed, "I don't watch him sleep!"
"You watch him shower, you leave at the same time every night," Hollis stated, "Face it, you're obsessed,"
Karla blushed, "Well it's not my fault he's hot!" she muttered. Hollis smirked a tiny bit but still helped her carry him back to his room. It's the least he could do. She was happy with Ichiban despite what he was. Hollis sighed and watched as Karla tucked Ichiban in, pressing a kiss to his forehead. The pair of Kure walked out of there, but Karla was reluctant to leave. He was just overwhelmed, but she liked how attentive he was, how he'd listen.
"Hollis? Who is he? Or… was he?" Karla asked Hollis sighed.
"Karla, you'll know soon enough, Grandfather does his best to shelter you but… this time you'll see what he is," Hollis determined, "Old stories are around for a reason, they all have some truth to them,"
Ichiban woke up a little woozy, but he was fine. He stretched and noticed it was around lunchtime now. He got excited and ran over to the restaurant, hoping they still had those Tempura Sushi rolls he liked. He ran by a man in classic Japanese clothes, he was old and had the eyes of the Kure. They made eye contact and Ichiban bolted by. He skidded in and grinned, seeing that Lihito had saved him some and he was sitting with a massive muscular wall of a man with shaven hair and a friendly smile.
"Lihito!" Ichiban greeted, sitting down and grinning. The blond smiled and leaned forward on his hands.
"Sooo… you and that Kure girl, huh?" he asked.
"Ooh! A scandal!" The other man supplied, "C'mon kiddo! Tell us!"
"Uhm… what's your name?" Ichiban asked.
"Oh, sorry 'bout that! I'm Naoya Okubo! Lihito here told me you can copy stuff and combine it all in a unique style!" Okubo exclaimed.
"It's not that simple, but that's layman's terms…" Ichiban said, "Still, Karla and I… well…" he mumbled, his face going beet red.
"Huh?! Already?!" Okubo gasped.
"What?! No! No no no!" Ichiban exclaimed, "Nothing like that! It's just… she's… helping me learn how to read and I fell asleep…" he mumbled. Okubo nodded and Lihito chuckled.
"Hope you had a good sleep then!" the MMA fighter laughed, "Man, that's so lucky, cuddling with a cute woman or girl!"
Lihito sighed, "Man, you don't get it, Ichiban here is playing with fire…"
Okubo blinked, "What's so wrong with the Kure? I mean, yeah, they're assassins, but I don't see why that's the problem! Ichiban's got a cute girl hanging around him!" he laughed a little but saw Ichiban shuffle nervously.
"It's not that I'm nervous about them, what I'm nervous about is what they'll do to him," Lihito sighed, "I don't want such a potentially great fighter being put six feet under," Okubo and Lihito glanced at Ichiban innocently eating his Tempura Rolls, oblivious to their conversation. They didn't see Karla at least close by.
"Oh! Karla! Hey!" Ichiban perked up with a bright smile, waving. Lihito did NOT want a repeat of this morning, so he got ready to bounce. Seeing her look around and then come over to… sit next to him?
"I'm glad you're awake, Ichiban," she said.
"Oh yeah! Sorry about that, it's just… you kinda lulled me to sleep," Ichiban chuckled a little at her expression, "Here, have a tempura roll, they're like tempura but sushi,"
'HUH?! What the- how the- is she… is she respecting Ichi's boundaries?!' Lithito thought, watching the pair talk to each other like friends.
"So… you're a competitor, huh?" Okubo interrupted,
"Oh yeah, I am. Yoshitake Real Estate's Chimera," Ichiban stated with a grin, "I'm excited to fight some strong guys!" he declared excitedly. Okubo nodded and Lihito's grin split his face.
"So we might face each other in the ring if you get far enough! Razor's Edge Vs. Steel Claw, huh?" Lihito wondered. Ichiban nodded, swallowing his food and grinning even wider.
"Too bad we're competitors, I'd challenge you, but then… we're friends so…" Ichiban mumbled, "I don't wanna fight people I like,"
Okubo and Lithito didn't like that Ichiban was still a kid. The second youngest fighter, Cosmo Imai, had some experience under his belt. Ichiban was fresh, new, and so pure-hearted. He was currently listening to Karla reading again and following along, making the older fighters internally squeal at how cute it was.
"Okay, try and read the title again, Ichiban," Karla instructed. He nodded.
"Anton… Chekhocks… The… Grass… Hopper?" he slowly guessed, Karla grinned.
"See? Just one more word, okay?" she assured him, "I brought a lot of books, so you'll be able to read in no time!"
"Okay!" Ichiban exclaimed, "I'll try my best!"
That evening, Karla put her book away, sighing, and looking in the mirror. She had slight bags under her eyes from watching Ichiban's evening routine. He went to his room at seven, showered at seven-thirty, then was out like a light at about eight o'clock. But for some reason, she liked watching him. There was something about him that was so innocent and pure-hearted that also lends credence to his power. His ability to copy other's techniques but blend them into a completely new style was interesting and a good reason why his Aura was ever-changing.
She heard a knock at her door and she went to the door to answer it, seeing Hollis standing there, as serious as ever.
"Hollis? What's up?" she asked.
"Grandfather wants to speak with you," he said and Karla's heart dropped to her stomach. Hollis sighed and plunked his hand on her shoulder.
"Maybe it won't be as bad as you think, your little friend DID run past him at lunchtime today, he's just wondering what he is to you because he listened to the recording I did and he's not exactly angry, just curious," Hollis stated, squeezing his little relative's shoulder in assurance.
Erioh Kure was old. Ninety-three and nowhere near his prime anymore, he enjoyed taking things slow, Kengan matches, and his family's honor was paramount. So when he saw that silver-haired boy rush past him earlier… His aura felt familiar. It didn't fill Erioh with dread or anything of the sort. It just made him feel oddly nostalgic for the last time he felt it… which was years and years ago, a year after his precious Karla was born.
Then he spotted the boy and Karla reading together, and asked his other relatives if they knew about this, to which Hollis produced a recording of them hanging out. Karla and the boy… this… Ichiban fellow were friends.
He heard the door open and Karla stepped in with Hollis with her, "Grandfather," she said.
"Ah, come in, Karla," Erioh stated, a warm smile spread on his wizened face, she stood across from him and he smiled wider.
"Quite the busy one aren't you?" he asked.
"Hm?" Karla wondered.
"With that Ichiban boy, teaching him to read, eating with him, you two are close, right?" Erioh asked.
"Please don't kill him," Karla sighed.
Erioh blinked, "Oh, no… no… I have no reason to yet," he said. 'If that boy ever hurts my Karla I swear I'll hunt him down to the ENDS OF THE EARTH!' he thought, the air around him warping and shuddering as his anger spiked.
"Pahahaha! Really? Wow, old man! Karla gets her first boy toy an' already you wanna break his neck?!" a rough, gravelly voice cackled as a tall man with spiky blonde hair and the same dark eyes as the others came in, a wide smile plastered on his face.
"Raian, do you know anything about him other than what Karla knows?" Erioh asked.
"Psh, he's another competitor for Yoshitake, some Ichiban Tokita kid… he looks like that other clan from those stories you used to yap about," Raian scoffed, "But, it's HILARIOUS! Karla's got a crush on some scrawny puke!"
"Raian! That's quite enough!" Erioh snapped, "Is this true, Karla?" he asked.
"Promise me you won't kill him first!" Karla demanded, "Please, just… hear him out and meet with him," she pleaded.
"Fine, he'll be left alone for now, if he hurts you… you'll be the one to end him," Erioh stated, "Such is the way of the Kure Family. Such is the way of all things,"
Karla nodded, feeling terrible. If he wasn't impressed by Ichiban… she'd never see him again.
"Karla… you know I'm willing to meet with him to make sure he's got no ill will or intentions towards you, even if his family copied techniques and styles from other families and is a disgrace to martial arts…" Erioh sighed, still taking shots at the boy he barely even knows.
"Bring him by tomorrow, he trusts you," he determined and Karla brightened, hugging her Great Grandfather, hearing him chuckle a little bit.
"Easy now, dear Karla, these bones aren't what they used to be!" he joked. Karla went out of the room, and Erioh turned back to ponder what he saw. 'Silver hair…' he thought, 'If he is what I think he is… he shouldn't be too much of a danger.'
Raian snickered, "Nervous, old man? You looked like you've heard a ghost!" he exclaimed. Erioh hummed a little, looking out at the night sky.
'Why have you returned now, Haiironome?'
