16 Chapter 15

I always saw others as below me I thought of myself better not in an arrogant way, but more in like a way I am just...better smarter faster and stronger.

I didn't let it deter me from making friends however but it did make it hard to make friends and understand others, I could never understand the piglet of the weak, Like draken once said I wanted/needed to see such a sky or taste defeat, like he has so many times.

I never knew why he always said it was so beautiful, the blue sky for me was always just there, nothing beautiful, about something such as that, I gave up trying to understand him when he said being defeated was the best thing that happened to him, It confused me at the time for why he would tell me such a thing.

Being defeated is something to be ashamed about, for I never had to taste such a thing I always thought I was the best, because I never lost a fight with fists, I felt it a shame I never got what he meant at that time.

I was smart...I believe I was...but even than I never got so many confusing things my older brothers said, they always said such poetic and stupid things as "Humiliation makes a human" or something stupid like that, was Humiliation really a way to defend ones honor? Was it?

I didn't know...I guess I'll never know but i guess that's what it means to lose I guess sometimes a lose is more of a win...squinting I looked up odd was the sky always so beautiful?it was so much more beautiful than I had ever seen.

...was the sky always so beautiful? Is this what Draken saw everytime he was defeated? Is this what he felt? This feeling of defeat but excitment, and joy I never felt it.

Fighting was always a boring task for me, everyone was so weak I never felt excitement from it, mind games they didn't help either I always won that easily as well, I was never defeated making me "invincible" ironic.

that all changed however when Shinichiro and samuel came into my life, something which was orginally always so cold and boring.

"Family" I never got that word or feeling in the orphanage everytime I asked them they always said "it's when you are scolded for doing something wrong" that didn't make sense to me either, shouldn't that be a bad thing, shouldn't you always feel invincible so nobody can ever prove you wrong? Isn't that what every human should strive for? why cherishe something so humiliating as getting scolded.

Shinichiro always told me that scolding someone is the highest respect you can give them from a family member to another, I never got that either, maybe because I had never seen the sky for I hadn't touched the clouds just yet.

One day it was every other day I had woken up brushed my teeth went downstairs and ate breakfast with the other older kids I say that because I learned to speak and walk at 3 also was able to run and do exercises at 4.

I was referred to a genius there too everyone basically knew I was a genius so they all gave me special treatment

That day it was special for we had just received word that today someone will finally be adopted...I didn't pay attention to it though it didn't interest me nearly as much as my candy at the time.

At 3 in the afternoon I was called to the counter an odd place for me to be, I didn't pay too much attention to that call either and came downstairs to the counter.

As soon as I opened the door I saw a tall kid with black hair and a middle aged dude with graying hair, the other individual in the room was a old man with a bald head, he was charge of adoption or something, I forgot his profession never paid much heed to the staff in the orphanage so I wasn't surprised I didn't know him.

After that a series of events took place each more hectic and chaotic than the last where I was eventually adopted by the duo of black haired kid and middle aged dude.

They introduced themselves as Shinichiro black haired kid and grandpa the middle aged dude, Both of them were from the sano family, after I was adopted to the sano family I didn't understand much after, but my new life with them was peaceful.

Me and Shinichiro were close I guess? I always liked the way he did things he was a nice person but he had sometimes I didn't have...people to relay on friends and family anything, he wasn't afraid to show his burdens, I believe that was made me respect him, see him as a brother, someone I could look up to.

Shinichiro always said losing was but a lesson I guess he was correct, always he also said "Ones burdens aren't to hold with only 2 hands" it sucked, as a quote but it really did describe him Shinichiro was open like a book note everyone telling everyone his worries and expectations.

I always wondered how he could lead a gang like the black dragons, with his weak fighting skills I always wondered how? I guess I still wonder to this day how he does it.

One day Shinichiro woke me up early still in my pajamas he dragged me to the car, going to an orphanage saying I was going to meet a new family member, I didn't know who nor did I care much at the time.

That was before the door to the office opened, and a white blue dashed in, if it weren't for the slight creak in the door I wouldn't have heard it, it piqued my interest who that was he introduced himself as a lover of sweets which I approved, he was also a martial artist I could sense it and he was highly skilled as well.

His name was Samuel I asked grandpa to adopt him so he did a new member of our family was quickly added, With Samuel around the dojo my life was very different, unlike Shinichiro, Samuel wasn't weak physically nor mentally he beat me in near everything be it fighting, swimming, or even plane academics.

I had first thought I was still the best, I had asked Samuel for us to fight, big mistake, as I pulled my feet up getting into a ready stance, before i could even move my legs, I felt the cold hard wood on my cheek I had been defeated instantly.

At that time overwhelming excitement and joy overwhelmed me, finally I had a goal someone who had made me taste the sky, someone who made me see the sky once more.

It was beautiful it was nice finally I had someone who could...rival Me Manjiro sano.
