Sho arrives testing Kenichi’s faith in miu: a confession at bed time.

Sho kana arrived in Japan he watched a bug trying to drag something heavier and was succeeding.

Then he crushed it just like this bug so would he crush histories mightiest disciple.

Kenichi had joined the elder and miu in their visit to miu's mother and grandmother's gravesite.

When the elder asked Kenichi why he wanted to come he said " I wanted to pay respects to myfuture mother and grandmother in law." then he added " also miu need's Support during this day as I believe she may run into trouble."

The elder nodded he to could sense a malicious intent from somewhere far off.

After paying his respects Hayato left to talk to the priest.

Kenichi spoke to the law furinjito matriarchs he said "hello you don't know me but I am Kenichi grandson of kasuhito your husband and father in law's greatest rival," "to be honest miu's having a hard time without you two or saigai," ",but I promise with all my heart I will protect her with my body my soul and all of my spirit so don't worry about her."

Then Kenichi turned to miu who had heard everything she smiled as her cheeks turned a tinge of pink.

Kenichi then picked miu up bridal style and flew with her to the gardens.

Sho who was watching actually became jealous for three reasons first guy could actually fly second this guy was the spitting image of his master's teacher third he had that goddess with him.

Now he knew he would crush this bug.

Kenichi and miu were enjoying their date at the gardens when they saw a bird trapped in a fishing line.

Kenichi freed it using the north star mountain cleaving slash witch is a chop that can cut clean through iron."

As miu watched this so did sho he decided then and there he would crush this bug and take his woman.

Sho walked out and said" I won't wait for our match for the spot in R's king of fighters tournament!"

Kenichi turned around and told miu to stand back this guy was much like Ryuuto he was using the shirahama style.

Sho powered up to a golden form that made his entire body golden.

Kenichi's eye's widened he then powered up into super shirahama 4th Dan the blonde haired blue eye'd version of super shirahama that could be maintained with a serine mind and the two battled out trading blows until sho use'd his fingers to fire of sonic strikes the invisible strikes hit Kenichi's palm's as Kenichi had put up his seikuken and then brought it within to create his Ryūsui seikuken then Kenichi countered with his own attack much like the sonic strike however this was a punch barrage he called North Star God fist superior wrath the reason being it could only be pulled of using this form and Ryūsui seikuken I'm unison and for good reasons the punches could be used to deliver jet blasts of air that could be the equivalent to the hurricane like punches only grandmasters were capable of.

The punches all targeted sho's vital points and reverted him back to his base.

Kenichi wasn't unharmed either the places sho had struck were all vital points as well but his punches cut him rather than caused internal damage sho had somehow learned some form of pressure point cutting strikes but it wasn't like Nanto seiken no it was more like the cord cutting karate in Baki the grappler.

"Kenichi!" miu said

If you two want to know where saigai furinjito and kasuhito shirahama are you come with me.

Miu was shocked but Kenichi squeezed her hand causing her to be assured.

"We want nothing to do with those who would abandon their families rather than be there for their own child and grandchild said Miu and Kenichi in unison.

Sho gritted his teeth "then die!" He said going to punch Kenichi but Kenichi dodged it and countered with his patented lightning kicks the jab trap a repetitive blindside snapping kick's caused sho to cough blood and he fell to the ground beaten.

After witch they returned to their home at the dojo.

Kenichi was resting outside the training hall when miu came and sat down they watched the sunset as Kenichi spoke.

"Would you have really gone with that guy if I wasn't there?"

Miu was saddened by this question.

The truth was she would but then she realized Kenichi's feeling's were the same he felt saddened that he had to give up the chance to meet his grandfather when he had chosen to protect miu and returned to Ryozanpaku.

Miu then spoke"how about we lay down together tonight."

The elder heard that and smiled he had already given them his blessing as had Kensei and akisame.

Miu and Kenichi went to bed that nite and as miu said "good night Kenichi."

Kenichi said the thing that he had been most afraid of.

"Miu I love you.l

And as miu drifted to sleep she requited his feelings.

"I love you to." she said slowly as she drifted off to sleep.
