#28 Loyalty Part IV, "to get stronger"

 Kumo’s eyes are very emotional.

Kumo, “what is wrong with you? Are you a traitor?!”

Shitoku is holding Kumo back.

Jiyu, “calm down Kumo,maybe it’s not like that. Sensei could be wrong?”

Kumo, “well Kishi,is that it?”

Kishi With no emotion, “just shut up.”

Kumo no longer struggling, “what?”

Kishi takes off a back pack, “you’re always talking to me, as if we’re close. Like you mean something to me..”

Kumo looking confused, “Kishi?”

He tries to get closer but Yugana holds his arm in front, blocking him.

Kishi,”you meaning nothing to me, we are not family. We are not even friends. You make me sick.”

Kumo, “you don’t mean that, it’s okay just tell Sensei ...”

Kishi, “I said shut your mouth! Everything is not okay, you’re just too weak to face it.”

Jiyu is looking on as well is Shitoku.

Kishi, “you know where we came from, you know what I have in front of me. But you just act so ,so...”

Jiyu, “you ...”

Yugana interrupts, “You have not answered the question young Kishi. Is this a mistake, am I wrong? Are you not trying to leave?”

Kishi focuses on Yugana, “Orange Class homeroom sensei...”

Yugana just looks at him.

Kishi, “...I owe you nothing, has been much less an explanation.”

Jiyu, “Is looking serious.”

Shitoku takes a step closer, “what did you say?”

Yugana, “students,no”

He stops silently.

Yugana,”go on, I think you were saying something?”

Kishi, “I came here with that loser, to get stronger alot stronger. I have a mission of my own that I can’t offered to waste anytime.”

Kumo. “I’m stronger than before and so are you. It takes time...”

Kishi ignores him, “I heard of the strong Senshi of this country. The teachers here that are capable of facing entire clans.”

He points at Yugana, “Lies, you’re a has been. All of you are, Sosuke,Shinjiro..”

Jiyu, {uncles, who does he think he is?!}

Shitoku has his fists balled up.

Kishi, “we can’t learn anything that will help me for another two years! I need Saino and weapons training. If I can’t get it here then I can get it somewhere else.”

Kishi gets into a stance.

Kumo, “Kishi, don’t do it...”

Kishi,”I can do whatever I want to it’s my life.”

Yugana is looking unphased anything he has said,until.

“I’m leaving and none of you is gonna stop me from getting stronger..”

Suddenly he is punched hard enough to send him against the wall.

Kishi is getting up, {fast, was that him?} “you?!”

Kumo, “you damn right me, you stand there acting as if I can’t see that you’re struggling.”

Kishi wiping his face, “struggling...what are?”

Kumo, “you’re lying...to yourself about ...”

Kishi, “that wa a lucky shot Kumo.”

Shitoku, “no it wasn’t, he was too fast for you. You two must be from the same village or maybe even clan. I’m willing to bet you are use to beating him. Well looks like he is now.”

Kishi, “So what?”

Jiyu, “so you jerk! That means you must be stronger now too!”

Jiyu is in his face, “ I should beat you senseless, for talking that way about my Sensei and...”

Yugana, “they promised you power, to be stronger than the Sensei here at Dragon’s Claw. Is that right?”

Kishi is silent, just looks at him.

Jiyu, “he can make you talk, you know that...”

Kumo, “that’s enough Jiyu, I got this.”

He looks at Kishi, “talk Kishi, who has made you turn traitor?”

He suddenly pulls something from his bag, a scroll unraveled.

Shitoku , {what is that?}

Kishi, “script release earth crush!”

Jiyu, “Kumo!”

Suddenly the earth around them moves forming walls, seemingly crushing them.

Kishi, “damn you Kumo, you should have come with me”

He turns to walk away.

Jiyu, “and you should stay in school!”

Kishi turning his head, “what?”

Kumo is standing behind Shitoku and Jiyu With Yugana I front hold his hands in a Saino position.

Yugana, “Jiyu is right, you’re in need of more lessons and training.”

Kishi reaches into his bag again, but suddenly...

He is up against the school wall, being held by Yugana’s hand.

Kishi, “ahhhh!”

Shitoku, “what is that coming from Sensei’s hand? It’s like it’s tearing him apart without hurting his body.}

Yugana, “what you’re feeling is me tearing your Zai network apart, if I keep goin you’ll never perform any kind of saino for the rest of your life.”

Kumo, “Kishi! Sensei please, stop!”

Jiyu standing behind Yugana, “Sensei Yugana, don’t do it.”

Yugana looks and stops, he;et’s Kishi fall.

Kishi, “why, why do you care?”

Jiyu , “I don’t, he does. He is willing to go against Sensei to save you, even after you said those things.”

Kishi holding himself up, “so what?”

Jiyu, “you’re important to him, you’re family.”

Shitoku and Kumo look at Jiyu. Yugana still stands close by.

Kishi looking at Kumo lowers his head.

Yugana, “family is important as well as loyalty.”

Kumo, “Sensei, If he talks will you let him live? I’ll take full responsibility for him.”

Yugana, “you do know what that means, don’t you?”

Jiyu,”what are y’all talking about?”

Shitoku “Taking full responsibility, if he commits any act against the Senshi code. He will be punished for him.”

Jiyu, “what do you mean?”

Yugana, “If you do this Kumo of the Assassins Village of the west, You will be killed in front of Kishi of the same Village.”

Kishi,”don’t do it Kumo, I’m  not...”

Kumo, “what worth it?”

He looks at Kishi, “let me be the judge of that.”

Yugana, “if you tell me everything I will be willing to spare you. The damage done to your Zai should be healed by the end of this school year”

Shitoku, “Sensei, “why?”

Yugana backs up and turns around towards Shitoku, “he isn’t the first to be impatient when it comes to power. He isn’t a traitor, he’s an over eager boy in a hurry to pay a debt.”

Jiyu, “a debt,what does that mean?”

Kumo helps Kishi up.

Kishi, “only thing I owe you is finishing school, don’t expect me to be nice to you.”

Kumo helping him walk, “yeah, I know you won’t let me down, Kishi.”

Kishi frustrates,”that’s not what I said, dammit Kumo.”

Yugana, Hey you two if you’re not in your respected rooms in 20 minutes, the deal is off.”

They begin to hurry.

Jiyu and Shitoku begin to follow Yugana back.

Shitoku, “ I see you held back Jiyu.”

Jiyu, “what me, well it wasn’t my place to talk sense into him.”

Shitoku, “yeah I guess not, that was Kumo’s”

Yugana, “think you two can make it from here without me?”

Shitoku, “of course we can, this better extra credit too. It was such a hassle.”

Yugana says nothing and blink steps away.

Jiyu, “Sensei held back, he could have killed Kishi before we got there or anytime after that.”

Shitoku “yeah, he brought us for a reason and it wasn’t to track Kishi down.”
