Abayo Kenshi Episode 5

Raisuke wondered helplessly around the busy streets of Tokyo hoping that Maiku was in the same country let alone city or area.

“You do know the slimness of the chance that he’s anywhere around here right kid?” Raiko rhetorically asked.

But Raisuke stayed quiet. He sensed spirit energy which seemed to be coming from a distant rooftop. As he approached the ragged surface he spotted a slim, human figure whose eyes were glowing bright purple.

“Oh my. Looks like I’ve found it already.” He thought to himself. Just then, after an unusual pause, it darted off with a sudden hiss.  “Hmmm …” Thought Raiko.

“I know, something tells me that won’t be the last we see of him.” Raisuke added.

“No, I’m thinking of how ridiculously slow you were. You missed your chance kid; you might not see that guy ever again.”

“Seriously …” Raisuke sighed “you’re really encouraging aren’t you?”

“Just ‘tellin you how it is kid, just ‘tellin you how it is.”

“Bad time kid, you need to rest. Try not to use any spirit power for the night or else …” Raiko warned Raisuke.

But Raisuke was too busy trying to somehow figure out how he would find Maiku. Then suddenly, his vision went blank.

Meanwhile, Kiramura middle school was at a normal day.  Maiku was as usual goofing around in class while Kenshi remained quiet and completed his work.

Kenshi was the example of the school. Deep down, all the average guys wanted to be like him, the teachers adored him and he could speak fluent English as well as Japanese. Kenshi was a genuine looking guy fair skinned, short black hair. That was all you could say about him. Although, sometimes, it was hard to ignore the scar on his left cheek. His eyes were that of a dark, purple colour. That’s all there was to him.

The bell finally rang. The whole class suddenly sprung up with life and headed out the door. Maiku and Kenshi were always the last out of every class every lesson. Was just a habbit I guess.

Maiku and Kenshi got along pretty well, since Kenshi was the first friend Maiku had made since he had joined this world.

6 months ago.

Raisuke gave out a massive gasp as he suddenly sprung up. As soon as this happened he found his face wedged in between a large pair of soft, plump breasts.

His cheeks fell slightly red as he jerked him self out. Incredibly surprised, totally confuzzled, embarrassed and relieved, Raisuke lay down on the floor he found himself on. He covered himself with the thin duvet then quickly sprung up again. He looked deeply in the pupils of the emerald green eyes the blushing young girl bore and said “Thank you.”

There was then a large pause. As she looked away and said

“I’ll bring your clothes once they’re dry.”

“I’m naked?” Raisuke stupidly asked.

“I’m naked!” Raisuke shouted as he shamefully covered up.

“I found you unconscious bleeding from your head. You fell from a rooftop.”

“I promise I didn’t look!” The girl added.

“I’m Raisuke by the way. And I should have died I don’t kno- wait, you healed me didn’t you.”

“My name is Ayane. She said in her soft Japanese accent. “Midori.” Ayane then said.

“Kiiro” Raiko replied.

“Oh! Megumi was right!”

 A large green butterfly feminine looking creature faded into the air.

“As I expected.” Raisuke smirked.

“Falling from that height and landing on my head is death no doubt. But you have a spirit guardian too. I owe you my life Ayane.” Raisuke told her staring deeply into her green eyes which were showing glimpses of shyness.

Ayane walked out of the room mumbling something to her spirit guardian Megumi.

Megumi’s facial expression formed into a happy-for-you type of look as she whispered:

“Nice find!”

“Ummm …” Ayane mumbled back.

“You’ve definitely gotta get in there kid!” Raiko told Raisuke as he grinned.

Raisuke pretended as if he didn’t hear but Raiko knew he was shy.

Ayane came back into the room and left Raisuke’s clothes next to where he lay.

“Thanks.” Said Raisuke as she rushed back out of the room.

It wasn’t long until Raisuke was dressed and Ayane had set the table for dinner.

“I’m not from this world.”

“Oh?”

“I know, weird. I came here to look for the purple crest that I had found in the other world which disappeared. I also came here for the hell of it.”

“Umm … I think you might have some trouble finding that …”

“You know who has it?”

“Yes, but not only that, you don’t find the crest … the crest finds you.”

“What do you mean the crest finds you? I had to find Raiko.”

“Ayane was born with me concealed in her.” Megumi explained while Ayane played with her fingers in shyness.

“Huh? What! I guess it was a wasted journey then.”

“Sorry.” Ayane added.

“Err no; it’s not your fault”

“By the way, can you tell me the name of the person who has the crest I am looking for?”

“No!” Ayane quickly snapped back.

The mood changed there was now an awkward vibe flowing within the room. Raisuke sighed.

“Sorry if that somehow angered you. But I have another purpose for being here. I am also looking for a friend I came here with I doubt you know him but it’s worth a try. His name is—’’

“Maiku Kaito!” Ayane said interrupting Raisuke.

“ ! ”

“I promise to tell you everything Raisuke-kun … tomorrow. I must rest.”

After the washing was completed, Ayane gracefully made for the door as Raisuke watched her hips in astonishment. He could not believe that he was still alive and the fact that Ayane’s body seemed to invite him in. He was struck by more than lust, but he wouldn’t admit it. Raiko knew every detail to what Raisuke was thinking at that moment.

Raisuke was up at the break of dawn, as always. When he had his gear on, he quickly walked through the door and to his surprise, Ayane wasn’t there. He checked over in her room several times. In the bathroom everywhere. But there was no sign of her presence. Raisuke’s breaths were getting heavier. Has this all been a setup? How did she know who Maiku was? Where he? Where was the purple crest?

Raisuke needed answers. He ran out into the back garden.

There she was. Floating up above the trees, covered in vines, glamorous as hell, but staring Raisuke directly in the eye. This time, with murderous intent.

It was late after school Maiku had had another detention and as usual Kenshi had waited for him. The busy roads of Tokyo were filled with what seemed like a million people doing a million different things. Kenshi disappeared within the crowd, but this didn’t bother neither of them; they had a strange relationship, like two twins who did anything and everything without thinking, but somehow always made it out alright. Maiku walked with his hands wedged deeply into his empty pockets he wondering what he would have for dinner.

Geez.

Suddenly at the corned of his eyeball, he saw something … different.

He didn’t know each and every soul that walked through the street everyday, but he knew when something wasn’t usual. When something was wrong or out of place. He stopped walking and turned his head, and at that saw literally the hottest girl he had ever seen.

“Wow …” He mumbled to himself.

She wore a short, navy and red jacket, navy tights, and bore 3 katanas ascending in length hanging downwards from her beautifully shaped hips. The first and shortest had a golden ribbon tied around the handle, the second a blue ribbon and the third and longest, a scarlet ribbon.

 Maiku looked at her face which seemed to be asking him to follow her without words, and within the blink of an eye, she was gone.

“Hey! Somebody took my wallet!”

“My purse! Oh no! My purse is gone!”

A din broke out of tens of people loosing their valuables; watches, rings, wallets, purses, bracelets, you name it, gone, in the blink of an eye.

“OH NICE!” Maiku thought to himself.

He could sense her energy as if she was magnifying it just so that Maiku could feel it. Maiku chased after this energy which seemed to be getting further and further away.

Meanwhile, Raisuke was getting beat real bad. Blow after blow the vines so destructive that they left massive craters deep into the ground left Raisuke astonished. He was overwhelmed by the amount of spirit power and control she had over her power, it was like the trees and the leaves, the grass and the vines were her own limbs, she had passed perfection, she was at a higher level than that. Raisuke wouldn’t fight back no matter what Raiko told him, It was useless anyway. Electricity has no effect on nature. Above all, he couldn’t stop thinking why. Why? Why did someone who saved his life want him dead the next day? It didn’t make sense, nothing did. Also, he still needed answers. Raisuke was at his Limit. He couldn’t afford to take any more blows like that. This time, he may not get back up.

Ayane eyes softened as she witnessed the pain and agony she was relentlessly dishing out on Raisuke. Then she paused and gave a surprised look towards the sky.

Soaring down like a pair of birds, Maiku dropped down to the ground but he wasn’t alone. A the strange girl was with him and now there were four very powerful people staring at each other confused and wondering what on earth was going on.
