Babysitter…Again 

I remembered why Kensei was acting that way, and guess what, it means I have to go out and be a babysitter….again.

What on earth possessed Kenichi to believe he could sneak out of Ryōzanpaku without alerting the three current grandmasters, one advanced grandmaster, and a legendary master that live there, is beyond me.

The rest of the masters woke Shigure, ergo also me, each giving their own excuses on why they didn't want to go, Sakaki, that he was drunk, Akisame that it was Kenichi's decision, dad said youth and left, Apachai was….Apachai, and Shigure, that she was lazy, giving me another puppy look, she asked if I could track Kenichi and make sure he was okay.

I could have said no, and I'm sure any of the masters would've gone, but Shigure's eyes, those damn eyes, "Fine."

So, here I found myself, tracking Kenichi, who is tracking Kensei, who is tracking Sōgetsu. After meeting with Kensei's daughter, Kenichi and Renka tried following Kensei. They had the brilliant idea of tracking Sōgetsu, if Kensei is looking for him, it means that if they find his brother, they find Kensei.

Seriously, is the average IQ dropping generation by generation, -Yes, let's go look for a murder happy grandmaster, it will be perfectly fine- are these kids retarded?

I see them enter a building where a clear grandmaster's level ki was, they don't even know how to sense ki, Sōgetsu is practically screaming where he is. Sighing, I rush to the building, at least to make sure the kids don't get injured, because then Shizuha and Shigure would injure me, it all a cycle, really.

As I am following the kids, I hear the wall beside me break, well….. here we go. I punch through the wall and I see Sōgetsu in front of the kids, Kensei where the fuck are you?

As I appear through the wall I see Kensei's idiotic daughter launching a kick at Sōgetsu, great not only is she stupid, she also has zero sense of self-preservation.

Grabbing her leg with my hand, I also kick away Sōgetsu's palm strike, looking around I see Sōgetsu's surprised face, I am a master at masking my ki, after all, Kenichi does not know what's going on, and Renka is... blushing? I smile and tell her, "Sorry kid, I'm off the market."

She seems to be blushing, even more, the fuck is wrong with this family.

I launch another kick at Sōgetsu, he tries to grab it, seriously, did no one teach them to dodge, it's becoming boring always seeing the same thing. As expected he is launched away, creating the distance I wanted, quickly grabbing Renka and leaving her beside Kenichi.

Quickly Azuma turns, seeing Sōgetsu rushing at him, he sighs and copies him, trying to lead him as far from the kids as possible. Exchanging attacks, Azuma is not trying to beat him, but to create time for Kensei to come, this was his battle, not Azuma's.

Sōgetsu was increasing his aggressiveness, Azuma counteracted by entering Ryūsui Seikūken, the epitomes of calmness. Azuma dodges, at the last second every attack Sōgetsu was doing, which in turn made him more aggressive.

Seeing that the building is getting destroyed as they fight through its hallways, Azuma starts cursing Kensei on his mind, entering Renewal's stance, Azuma starts muttering, "Please don't die, please don't die." Over and over.

Sōgetsu, who heard it asked, "What?"

Azuma quickly sent a jumping hook kick at Sōgetsu, holding his neck between his leg, while spinning at high speed, then suddenly dropping him onto the ground headfirst.

For some stupid reason, Kenichi along with Renka were following them through the building, seeing the move, he shouted, "It's that move he was practicing in the woods."

The impact launched Sōgetsu across the floors below, while Sōgetsu was…somewhere, Azuma scoffed, "Finally arriving, what on earth took you so long?"

Kenichi and Renka did not know who Azuma was talking with, until Kensei came crashing through a window, landing next to Azuma, both looking at the hole on the floor. Kensei asked Azuma, "Is he dead?"

Without looking at Kensei, his gaze still on the hole, "Nah, I seemed to have lowered the power too much trying not to take his head off, your brother is not even unconscious."

With a serious expression, Kensei said, "I'll take it from here."

Azuma, finally looking at Kensei with an incredulous expression replied, "And why are you telling me that? ... Shoo, shoo, go ahead."

Kensei jumped into the hole, leaving Azuma and the kids alone, with a smile that said -Job well done- he walked to the kids, asking himself why where they still here, "Alright kids, let's go, the party is over."

Both Renka and Kenichi shake their heads, Renka saying, "I have to make sure papa returns with me." Kenichi following, "I need to make sure Kensei-sensei, comes back to Ryōzanpaku."

Hearing the kids, Azuma almost let a colorful list of profanities leave his mouth, he could take them against their wishes, but that would make Kenichi sad, and a sad Kenichi is a sad Shigure and Miu, and a sad Miu means a sad Shizuha. Who cares about Renka?

The sound of fighting was coming from above, which means Kensei and Sōgetsu have taken their fight upward, clenching his fist, through gritted teeth, Azuma told them, "Fine, follow me, and stay with me."

Carrying the kids on his shoulder, Azuma jumped through the window, running up the wall, once on the correct floor, he jumped through another window, dropping the stubborn pair on the ground, just before Kensei came crashing through a wall, Sōgetsu following behind.

Rapidly getting up, Kensei and Sōgetsu kept interchanging moves, Sōgetsu's aggressiveness not dropping a little, seemingly having increased by fighting his brother, an explosion was heard, Sōgetsu's previous fight with Azuma followed by Kensei had damaged the building enough, it was collapsing.

Before the building could start coming on top of everyone, Kensei's palm strike hit Sōgetsu in the chest, launching him away, from Kensei and the spectators.

Seeing that Sōgetsu was trapped Kensei tried to help him, only for his brother to curse at him, seeing that his loss meant death, sadly Kensei, along with the others there, headed to the elevator, leaving Sōgetsu and the collapsing building behind. Before the elevator doors could close Kenichi, being stupid rushed toward Sōgetsu trying to save him.

Azuma seemed to be sighing a lot today because sighing again, he launched forward, grabbing Kenichi, who was, telling some stupid speech to Sōgetsu, before leaving Sōgetsu, told Azuma, "Weird disciple Kensei is teaching right?"

Azuma only responded, "Weird? I would go with stupid, idiotic, not very smart, all of them?"

Giving his goodbyes to Sōgetsu, Azuma rushed back to the elevator, not worrying at all about Kensei's brother.

How could Kensei believe Sōgetsu died, grandmasters are like cockroaches, it easy to injure or defeat them, but simply falling off a building, please.

As they arrive at Ryōzanpaku, all of the masters there waiting, Azuma only exclaimed, "Alright I'm out, I will not be a babysitter three times, I'll be visiting mom. See you later."

Giving Shigure a kiss, saying goodbye to the others, he left, dreading the probability of Shigure asking him to rescue a kid again.
