4 The kendo club
the next dayThe sun shined bright inside the classroom as Ross was sitting at his desk waiting for his teacher to arrive. He was however bombarded with questions as his ot
peers came into the room, mostly by two girls by the names of toshimi niki and misuzu lchijou.
Needless to say, he was a bit shocked when they said they wanted him to be there friend. Although Ross told himself that he didn't want to make any friends at
school, he sadly had to break his own rule as they pleaded and pleaded with him non stop when he told them about the reason why he didn't have any friends.
a close eye on them just in case they were going to betray him. Even though he said yes to there offer, he still didn't trust them.
But that still didn't save him from a certain girl in his class.
Ross was sitting in his seat as he was teaching toshimi how to draw.
"Ok, Now connect the oval with this line" Ross said, toshimi followed his instructions as she connected the two together.
"And done, Not bad" Ross said as he looked at her drawing causing toshimi to smile "Oh stop, I'm just starting out. But l'll get better. Just you wait" she said as
playfully hit his arm. Ross only nodded at her as he then felt something large and soft pressed against his back.
"Hey there Ross" yuuki said with a smile across her face.
'Oh fuck not you again' Ross thought as he looked up to see yuuki's smile "What do you want yuuki?" he asked.
Yuuki frowned at him, she really wanted to get to know him and make him her friend. Although she was known to be very open about sex, she would never put
out and fuck the nearest boy that she saw. She wanted to save herself for her special someone.
"Well that's not very nice" yuuki said as Ross rolled his eyes at her.
"Whatever, Just tell me what you want" he said.
Yuuki sighed sadly at his attitude, she was trying to help him open up more. But he only kept turning her down. Something that has never happened to her. No would ever turn her down, hell they would even be willing to give up everything to be by her. But here was someone that was totally not even interested in her.
"I just wanted to know how you were doing this morning" she said.
Ross crossed his arms "I'm fine".
"That's good, Umm I was wondering if you would like to hang out sometime".
"No".
Yuuki was a bit hurt from his comment.
"Aw come on, please".
"No".
"But it will be fun".
"No".
"But-".
"I said no".
Yuuki looked at him with sadness in her eyes "O-ok, I'll guess I'll talk to you latter then" yuuki said.
"I highly doubt it" Ross said as he went
Yuuki then walked over to her seat as she looked at him a bit "Sorry for bothering you" she said. Ross didn't even look at her as he went back to teaching toshim
to draw.
Class went by pretty well for Ross, as he walked out of his class to go to his locker to get ready for kendo class he ran accidentally ran into a student causing th
student to drop his magazine on the ground.

"Ah! I-I'm sorry! I didn't watch were I was g-going" the student said as he was about to pick up his magazine only for Ross to pick it up before him. The student
at Ross as he analyzed the magazines cover.
"Hmm, An ak-74. One of my favorite assault rifles" Ross said as he looked at the boy "You have good taste in guns".
The student looked away from him as he smiled a tiny tiny bit "T-thanks" the student said "Ummm,C-can I gave that back please?" he asked, Ross then realized
had the students magazine "Oh right, Sorry about that" Ross said as he gave back the magazine.
The student took back his magazine as he then looked at Ross "T-thanks" the student said as he walked past ross.
"Hold on a minute!" Ross said.
The student quickly stopped in his tracks as he turned to Ross "Y-yes?" the student said with a bit of fear in his voice.
Ross then turned around faced the student "You never told me your name" he said.
The student gulped "m-my names Kohta, Kohta hirano" kohta said in a nervous tone.
Ross only smirked at the boy.
"It's nice to meet you kohta, I'm Ross hikatori" he said.
Kohta was surprised to hear his name.
"Y-your the new s-student" he said.
Ross nodded at him "That's right, You know. You remind me of how I used to be when I was in my old high school" he said. This caught kohta's attention "Really
said.
Ross nodded at him "Yup, So I'll tell you what. I'll keep my eye on you. Kinda like I'm one of your own comrades in a war" Ross said as he smiled at him.
"D-does this mean that, W-were friends?" kohta asked.
Ross thought about it and in a sense he was right. He told himself that he would make sure not to make any friends, and now he is breaking his own rule in one
then remembered how toshimi and misuzu really wanted to be his friend so badly, although he didn't still trust them on the outside, his inner feelings told him a
different story about he felt. Deep down no matter how badly he hated to admit it he was really happy that things were looking up for him. He was happy that s
people were willing to befriend him and accept him despite his differences.
Ross then decided to give kohta his answer.
"That's right, That makes us friends" Ross said with a smile.
Kohta smiled back, for he was happy to gain a friend in his school. He felt like the most happiest person on earth.
"Hey kohta, I have to run and get to my kendo class, But if I see you around we should hang out sometime" Ross said.
Kohta nodded at him "R-right, That would be great".
The two then parted ways as Ross went to his locker to pick up his kendo sword.
'I believe that I need to apologize to certain young lady in my class' Ross thought.
"You know your just wasting your time" a voice said.
Ross then looked over to his side to see saya walking over to him.
"With what my little genius?" Ross said in a mocking tone.
Saya instantly turned red but quickly regained her smug attitude.
"What I mean is your just wasting your time befriending a shut-in like him" she said. Ross simply shrugged at her comment "I don't mind really, He reminds me
I was when I was in pre school and at my first high school" he said, this got a raised eyebrow from saya.
"You were a shut-in as well?" she asked in a curious tone.
Ross shook his head "No...I was considered an outcast. I had no friends to call my own, nobody to hang out with, No one to sit with or have fun with. I was alon
hurt. All everyone did was mock me and beat me up, then it got worse with time" he said.
Saya was a little surprised to hear this about his past, she then sighed as she looked at him with a serious look "Well I don't normally do this with stupid people
or anyone that can't handle my genius, but I'll only do this once just because I feel pity for you" she said.
Ross only smirked as he walked over to her and whispered in her "Your too kind" Ross said as he made his way downstairs.
Saya turned around as she then glared at him "Just because I pity you doesn't mean were all buddy buddy understand!" she said, Ross simply flipped her off as walked downstairs.
-kendo clubRoss was leaning back on the wall as he waits for his other classmates as well as the instructor of the kendo class. He sighs as he closes his eyes and thinks abo
he is going to apologize to yuuki for acting like an ass.
"Jeez, Some human being I am" Ross said "I really should have opened up on the first day, Why did I act so cold toward everyone? Oh yea, That's right. Becaus what happened to me".
"What happened to you?".
Ross opened his eyes to see who just asked him that, who he had saw in front of him instantly took his breath away. In front of Ross was a girl who was the sam
as him, she had purple hair, blue eyes, a voluptuous figure, and D-sized breasts.
Ross then quickly turned his head away from the beautiful girl "It's nothing really" he said as he looked at the ground.
The girl then leaned to his right side so she could see his face.
"Are you sure? You seemed pretty down about what your thinking about" she said.
Ross shook his head "No really I'm fine" he said.
/
The girl then gently shook her head at him.
"Did anyone ever tell you that your a horrible lier" she said.
'Did anyone ever tell you that your the beautiful thing in the whole world' Ross thought as a smile formed on his face.
The girl noticed this.
"What are you smiling at?" she asked.
Ross looked at her "Well, I was just admiring how beautiful you look" he said honestly causing the girl to blush.
"Thank you" she said as she glanced away moving a bit of her hair from her face. Ross smirked as he then held out his hand to her.
"Name's Ross, Ross hikatori" he said.
The girl took his hand and shook it.
"Ah, So your the new student Ross hikatori" she said "It's a pleasure to finally meet you, I am Saeko Busujima" she said.
"Wait, You have been wanting to meet me?".
Saeko Nodded at him "Of course, Ever since you first came here to Fujima Academy, Your name has been nothing but wildfire" she said. Ross sighed in frustrati
he knew that this would happen.
Saeko looked at him with a bit of worry "Something on your mind again?" she asked.
Ross looked at her and nodded "Yea, I really didn't want that to happen. I mean yea I'm still new, But I didn't think that my name would get across the school t
he said. Saeko understood what he was getting at, he really didn't want all the attention.
'Guess he likes to be in the shadows, I can understand that' she thought. The bell then rang as other students came into the club "Looks like we should get read
start. Get dressed and grab your sword ok Ross" Saeko said.
Ross nodded as he went into the changing room.
A few minutes went by as all of the male and female students came out in there kendo uniforms. Ross had a bit of difficultly with his uniform since it was a bit to
him as it kept sliding off of his shoulders.
'Great, Out of all the kendo uniforms. I get the one that's too large to stay on my shoulders' he thought. Then he saw Saeko walk out onto the mat in her kendo
uniform.
"Wow, not a bad look on her" Ross said, he then got hit in the rib by a student next to him.
"The hell was that for?" Ross said as he tightened his fist as a bit of electricity surged, thankfully no one took notice.
"Watch what you say man" the student said "You forget that she is the instructor as well as the captain of the kendo club". Ross was in total shock, the girl that
talking to a few minutes ago was the teacher and captian of the club.
Saeko then cleared her throat as the students then looked at her.
"Alright everyone, I shall now call you up to test your swordsmen skills that you have been practicing for the past few months" Saeko said as she called up a stu
The student walked up to her as they bowed and bad there wooden swords at the ready. Needless to say, the student was quickly dispatched of in a few minute
then called up the next student to come forth.
-10 defeated students latterSaeko had effortlessly defeated another student without as so much as breaking a sweat. Saeko shook her head in dissapointment at her students, not even one
them could last for at least 20 seconds before being defeated. Saeko then looked to see all of her students on the bench that she had defeated, she then turned
last person that was left.
"Ross hikatori, Step forward" Saeko said.
Ross gulped as he walked forward to the center of the mat. He had watched as he saw the other students get thrashed by Saeko, some of them were still rubbin
bruises. Ross knew that this would not be easy.
As Ross stood in front of Saeko the two of them bowed.
"I am sorry" Saeko said.
Ross was a bit taken back by her comment "For what?".
Saeko then smiled sheepishly "I guess I should have told you that we were practicing on our swordsmen skills" she said "But I am apologizing that you have to
your first day of class".
Ross placed his hand up "Hehe, It's ok. You don't have to apologize, it's fine really" he said as he then had his wooden sword at the ready "Besides, this beats h
sit in a classroom".
Saeko smirked as she held her sword at the ready as well "Do you know how to use a sword?" she asked.
Ross nodded at her "Even better" he said.
"Begin!".
The two of them clashed there swords keeping them locked on one another "I taught myself how use a sword, With my own style!" Ross said as he then tried to
at Saeko only for his attack to miss.
"Well then, maybe you'll last longer than 20 seconds!" Saeko said as she brought down her sword only for it to be defected by ross's counter attack. Saeko then
attack Ross from his blind spot, only for him to parry her attack and strike her leg causing her to kneel.
The other students were amazed at ross's sword skill, not even one of them were able to knock Saeko to the ground.
Ross held out his hand to Saeko "Wanna call it quits?" he said smiling.
Saeko then gently pushed his hand away as she got to her feet.
"Never!" Saeko said as she charged at Ross.
/
The two of them then started clashing there swords with fury. Each hit getting stronger than the last, as Saeko was attacking Ross she felt her attacks get more wild. In fact he started to notice Saeko smirking as she was trying her best to beat him, Saeko was starting to get hot as she fought with Ross.
'His skill is almost on par with mine. It's been one minute and he has been able to last this long, This boy is truly something' she thought. She then licked her lip
started to increase her attacks even more.
Ross however, Was still keeping up with her movements with ease. 'Her skill, Her power, Her movements, She's good. No, Perfect! She's determined!' he thoug
smiled like a madman. That's when he felt something click, He felt as if he had just been given a huge boost in power, Speed, And endurance. That's when it hit wanted to win. He wanted to defeat her.
He wanted to kill her.
Soon the air in the kendo club shifted, The two warriors then had determination in there eyes. They had one goal, And that was to defeat there opponent.
Ross and Saeko then ran at each other again as they both slammed there swords together with one powerful hit, Only for both there swords to break from the h
impact. Everyone had there mouths drop, They knew that there captain could never be defeated by them. But here stood a new student that was not only able t
the same level as Saeko, But to be the only person to cause a draw.
'were not *pant* finished yet! Again *pant*, Let's go again! I want to keep this up for as long as possible! *pant* I don't wanna stop!' Ross and Saeko thought.
Saeko then looked at Ross only to be shocked at what she saw. She saw that Ross's eyes no longer had the brown color anymore, As they were now replaced w
bright yellow ones. his hair was also a bit longer now, And she could also see that some of his orange hair now had turned black.
Saeko then quickly snapped out of her trance as she called out to him.
"Ross, are you ok?" she said.
Ross was panting a he then formed a wicked smile on his face.
"Let's...go again!" he said.
Saeko was a bit taken back at what he just said, he wanted to fight her again. And as much as she didn't want to tell herself, She simply shook her head.
"I'm sorry Ross, But I'm afraid that I will foreit this one" she said. Ross raised an eyebrow at her, "What! Why!? Come on, Let's go another round! I want to kee
fighting you for as long as possible!" he said. Saeko bit her bottom lip, The sheer determination in his yellow eyes was something to behold. She glanced at his
again, The way they shined and glowed in the shade of the kendo room was beautiful to her. It turned her on to see his eyes staring back at her, The wicked sm
had, The way how he kept demanding to keep fighting her. It was hot! And she wanted more of it, But she cursed herself mentally.
"Ross, I told you. I forfeit" Saeko said.
Ross had a confused looked on his face as he then placed his hand on his head, that's when he felt that feeling he had start to go away. He started to gain conto
senses, He then fell to his knees as he breathed heavily.
'Damn, What the the hell was that just now?' he thought 'Not too long ago I just had this huge amount of power. Like I could take on anyone'. He then looked u
Saeko next to him.
"Ross are you alright? Are you hurt?" she said as she helped him to his feet. Ross nodded at as he looked at her, Saeko then noticed that ross's yellow eyes and
hair with some hints of black in it were all gone. "Ross, Your eyes" Saeko said.
Ross looked at her "Huh? What about them?" he said.
"There not yellow anymore".
Ross looked at her with a puzzled expression.
'My eyes were yellow?' he thought.
"They were?" he asked.
Saeko nodded at him "Yes, They were bright yellow when we were sparing. But now there gone, Maybe you should see miss Shizuka Marikawa" she said.
"Who's that?".
"She's the school nurse, She could probably help you with your eyes" Saeko said, Ross smiled at her "Ok, I'll go see her after class" He said, But Saeko shook h
"I recommend that you go see her now Ross, Don't worry about class today. I'll train with tomorrow" she said.
Ross sighed as he agreed to go see the school nurse "Fine" he said as he walked over to grab his wooden sword "But you owe me a private lesson next time ok"
said as he smiled at her, Saeko blushed a bit before she answered. "Very well then" she said.
Ross grinned as he walked out of the room. Saeko walked over to her broken sword that was laying on the mat, As she picked it up she couldn't help but think b
Ross. She then remembered his yellow eyes, Saeko smiled a bit as she then thought about there spar. She blushed as she then remembered how he wanted to
fighting.
'L'll make sure to have a rematch with you ross' she thought.
-meanwhileRoss was walking down the hallway as he passed a few teens as he journeyed to the nurses office. However he had a problem, He didn't know his way around t
school very well.
'Crap, This is embarrassing' he thought as he scratched the back of his head. He then looked over to see his classmate takashi komuro pass by.
"Hey there!" Ross called out.
Takashi stopped and looked over to see that it was Ross who had called him.
'Hm? It's that new student. What could he want with me?' Takashi thought as he walked over to him.
"Hey, What's up?" Takashi said. He then looked at his classmates eyes and saw that there was something different about them the last time that he saw them.
"Hey, Umm I know that this is a bit embarrassing and stupid of me to ask. But could you tell me were the nurses office is" Ross said with a bit of a nervous tone
Takashi blinked at his comment, Not that it sounded stupid or anything. He was still new, So he could understand his reason for asking.
"Sure, Just go down this hall and make a left, Then a right and your there" he said as he pointed down the hall to his right. Ross smiled at him "thanks bro!" Ro
as he ran down the hallway. Takashi just stood in placed as he watched him run down the hall.
/
'I don't see anymore pain in his eyes' he thought.
Ross was running down the hallway as he was making his way to the nurses office, As he made his way down the second conner he stopped at what he saw. In
him were a few students that were surrounding his new friend kohta as they were kicking and punching him.
Ross quickly felt his blood boil at the sight as he let some of his electricity surge from his fingers, He knew that his father didn't want him to use his gifts in publ
as he watched the display before him, He decided to break it just this once.
"Just admit it and will you'll let you go!" one student mocked.
Kohta was curled up in a ball as he felt there kicks and punches. One of the other students then picked him up and pinned him to a wall.
"Look just let me go!" kohta pleaded, one of the students only smirked at him "Sorry fatty, But the world doesn't need weaklings like you" kurokami said.
Kohta gulped as he then noticed Ross walk over to them, That's when he also noticed the change in his eyes. He saw that they were bright yellow as his hair wa
starting to show black patches again.
"Ross" kohta said in a whimper as the others turned to see the boy.
"Your the new student Ross hikatori" kurokami said.
Ross didn't answer as he balled up his fists letting his lightning surge more and more from his knuckles "Let my friend go!" Ross said with venom in his voice, K
released his grip on kohta. "You gonna fight his battles for him eh?" kurokami mocked. Ross then glanced at kohta as he gave him a wink and a smirk "kohta! R
Ross said, Kohta quickly bolted away from the teens as he ran to the side of the hallway.
"you made a poor move taking us on" one of the students said as they then charged at him. Ross then made more of his lightning surge until he formed a ball in
"Lightning volt!" he shouted as he slammed the ball of lightning into the students chest as he fell unconscious. The other boys looked Ross with disbelieve at wh
just saw, Kurokami backed up a bit "Bastered, What the hell did you just do?" he said.
Ross simply ignored Kurokami's words as he went after the other student as he charged his fists with electricity as he punched him square in the face making a
his teeth come out as he feel to the ground, Ross then stopped on the boy's unconscious body over and over again. Kurokami was in shock at ross's ruthless be
He never thought that a new kid like him could be so powerful.
That's when he noticed Ross turn his head toward him, He saw his bright yellow eyes as they looked like he scare the devil himself. For the first time in his life,
Kurokami felt fear. He felt the young man's rage, His anger rising with each blow that his friends received, He thought it was true terror.
Kurokami couldn't move, He felt his legs buckle under him. Ross walked over to him letting his lightning surge around his body.
"Now it's your turn to end up like them, But in the worst way possible" Ross said coldly as he picked up Kurokami by the neck and started chocking him. Kuroka
gasped for air as he tried to pry his hand from his neck.
"H-hey man, Let m-me go! I-I'll leave your friend alone I swear!" Kurokami said. Ross only showed his wicked smile at him as he held out his right hand and ch
his hand with lightning, But that's when he felt that click again. But this time it felt stronger than the last one when he spared with saeko. His hair then started t
longer and blacker, Reaching the same length as saeko's but longer as it reached to his waist. His lightning had also started to change as it went from blue then
and then...it became black.
Ross smiled even more as he cocked his right hand back as he formed his signature lightning volt, But this time it was bigger than ever. The ball of lightning wa
black and it now reached the size of a wreaking ball. Kurokami's eye widened in horror as he then franticly tried to save himself. Ross then started to laugh as K
struggled in vain to free himself.
"hahaha! You really think I'll you get away after you bullied my friend, Then you are sadly mistaken. You know there's a saying that my father taught me. Those
out there way to hurt the ones close to us have no reason to live. And they must be punished with execution!" Ross said, He then slammed his right hand into
Kurokami's body as the blast caused extreme damage to him.
He didn't have time to scream as it all happened so fast, Ross then dropped his limp and broken body to the ground. He smiled at the bodies that laid before him
looked at his right hand as black lightning surged all over his hand.
"Hehehe, Wonderful. I think I'll call this new form wild raven" he said.
"R-Ross".
Ross snapped out of his own world as he turned around to see kohta stare at him with disbelieve.
'Oh no' Ross thought.
