Reunion

Yamashita smiled happily to himself as he walked out of Nogi subsidiary.

Man..! It's been so long since I left work while the sun was still up!

Beep!

Yamashita was startled by the sudden ring of his private line.

Yamashita peered at the caller line curiously. He certainly didn't know this number.

Yamashita still decided to answer the call anyway.

Hello? You've reached Yamashita.

A voice that sounded drunk rang out from the phone.

Oh! Long time no see!

Uhh…pardon me for asking, but who's this?

Yamashita couldn't remember any of his friends that it was " long time no see"

The voice rang out again.

Remember the drunk you grabbed at the Kengan match?

Ahh!! Yamashita remembered instantly. You're from the sekibayashi match right? How did you get my number?

Hey man, don't sweat the details. More importantly, kazzy, you free now?

*****

Hey Kazzy. You've really got some balls on you. I can't believe you'd go and become a Kengan association member.

My guess is Mr Nogi put you up to it right?

Yamashita tapped the table softly.

How did you know?

The fat man smiled. You can call me Kenny. Well…it's because you were with Nogi group but suddenly went solo, so I couldn't put more thought into it.

Yamashita stared at the man who was drinking again.

He's surprisingly sharp. So he's not just a drunk after all?

That reminds me kazzy. Did Mr Nogi also pay the five billion yen fee for the Kengan tournament?

SPEW!!!!

Yamashita spat out the drink in his mouth. No one told him anything about five billion!!!

Yamashita grabbed his head as he bent his head on the table.

He got me good…He got me good!!

Kenny was surprised by this act.

Wait, you didn't know?

Yamashita didn't talk but his reaction showed it all.

Kenny parted his shoulder.

You can easily pay up a five billion yen debt if you win…Actually, you don't have to win, just do some good and you can pay up.

Yamashita suddenly jerked and entered a drinking frenzy.

I'm gonna win!!

As the two men danced their hands around, a voice interrupted them.

Mr Yamashita?

Yamashita turned to see His boss; Matsui Hiroshi staring at him. The look on Matsui's face said all he was feeling.

This darn yamashita again?

Matsui forced a smile as he spoke rudely to Yamashita.

Is that your friend there? Humph. You can tell a lot about a man from the people he drinks with.

He looks like a fitting friend for you, Mr Yamashita.

Kenny smiled broadly as he waved. Hey there.

Hey! If it isn't Mr Yamashita!

The director of Nogi publishing; Hosome Futoshi Was staring at Yamashita as he walked in. I never thought I'd see you here.

Hosome suddenly froze as his gaze landed on Kenny.

Do you know him? Matsui asked nonchalantly.

For some reason, Hosome suddenly picked offense at Matsui.

You moron! This man is none other than the emperor of the Japanese book retail industry; Ohya Ken. CEO of Ginokuniya bookstore.

Matsui was shocked beyond words on this revelation.

Yamashita stared at his fat and always drunk friend.

Kenny smiled as he spoke. Now, unto the main topic Kazzy. The truth is, I'm entering the Kengan Annihilation tournament. And this is our fighter Himuro Ryo. Kenny pointed to a young man with white hair who stood beside him.

I hate to say this kazzy, but I'm gonna win the tournament.

Yamashita laughed softly. Haha. I had a strange feeling it'd end up like this.

Yamashita extended his hand for a handshake. But I'm not gonna lose Kenny!

Kenny shook his hand as he smiled brightly. Just what I wanted to hear!

*******

Whoosh!

Whoosh…

A young man with curly black hair punched and kicked the air repeatedly at dazzling speed.

This young man was naturally The man named Tokita Ohma.

Ohma lay flat on the ground looking up to the sky.

This is it, Niko. Just one last time, I'll be borrowing your Niko style.

Suddenly a long hair poured on Tokita's face as another face appeared so close to his face.

Long time no see.

Ohma stared at this man's face lackadaisically.

Who the f*ck are…

Suddenly, the face of a young teenager flashed in Ohma's mind and he immediately linked it to the young man standing before him.

Ohma shot away from the ground with the speed of a bullet.

The young man lifted his head slightly to face ohma who stood up in a rush.

So you remember?

Ohma was gritting his teeth in anger as he stared at the young man.

You son of a bitch! You're that bastard's…

Wheez!

Before Ohma could finish his statement, the young man with flowing long black hair had already arrived in front of him.

The young man caressed ohma's chest softly. Oh, your muscles are far developed than the last time we met.

Ahh…How wonderful…I finally get to break your bones.

Now, this young man's face was very visible. He was none other than Koyo Academy's Fighter; Kiryu Setsuna.

Ohma opened his mouth to speak but he was shut off by the finger which Kiryu suddenly placed on his lips.

Ashh…I've got one more thing to tell you.

My master, the one you've been pursuing for so long is dead.

He died at my hands!

So how does it feel? Kiryu asked while smiling. How does it fell for your ten years of hard work to go up in smoke?

Ohma gritted his teeth in anger.

Kiryu removed his hand from Ohma's mouth and used it to rub his head instead.

I was actually tired of waiting, I never thought you'd be slow on the uptake…

Ohma didn't find this blatant insult funny. What the hell did you just say!!?

Kiryu smiled again. The Kengan matches aren't the only underground fights you know? There are all of them that allow all sorts of weapons, but I got bored after killing all their noteworthy fighters.

So, you must hate me for killing my master whom you've chased after for so long right?

Now, I want you, Tokita ohma, to kill me just like my master killed Niko!

At the mention of the death of Niko, that memory flashed in his mind.

He remembered Kiryu's master standing above Niko's dead body and staring at the little Ohma coldly. Young boy, if you want revenge, then grow stronger. I'll be waiting for you on the battlefield.

Ohma clenched his fists in anger.

Kiryu smiled in excitement as he witnessed ohma's anger.

C'mon now! Let me suffer all your anger!

Ohma suddenly smiled maniacally. Don't get the wrong idea Fam.

Kiryu was a bit confused. Come again?

Ohma smiled even wider. For f*ck's sake, you got it all backwards you Pervy wanker.

Vengeance? That was never in my plan to begin with! Your master and Niko died because they were weak! They died because they lost!

Ohma clenched his fists in bubbly excitement. There was only one reason I was going after your master; I couldn't stand that there was a single person in this world that was stronger than me!

Kiryu caressed his chin slowly. Let's see…going by your weird logic, I killed my master which makes me the reigning champion. Whatever your motivation, isn't that enough reason for you to fight me.

Ohma smiled. You're taking part in the Kengan annihilation tournament aren't you?

Kiryu nodded. Sure I am.

Ohma smiled. The old fox has taken the pain to set us up. Ohma pointed his finger at kiryu as he spoke. I will crush you In the Kengan annihilation tournament!

Setsuna smiled. Tokita…don't forget my name. It's the name of your nemesis.

Ohma smiled. I sure won't.

Yo! Tokita! Your end is here!

And who the f*ck is it again!!?

Ohma already had his hands full with the appearance of kiryu. Now there was another person proclaiming himself as Tokita's end. It couldn't get more irritating.
