×Chapter 64×Where They Stand
*Baki World*
*Underground Arena*
Haile had dropped asleep on the table during the next match which was between a weak little so call champion boxer and the biker gang boss with a broken hand who was beating the crap out of the world champion when he was up.
Even though he was sleeping he could still hear everything around him clearly so he knew everything that took place but he just couldn't learn anything from the fight.
Though he felt some pretty awesome flashbacks were taking place especially with the biker gang man who stood his ground quite well and has infact even won even though it sounded more like an interference.
After it was finished there was a break till the next match everyone went around doing there thing some to get something to ear and drink and some just loitering around.
Haile was just walking around at random though the halls after he left Yujiro would said he was going to stretch his fist whatever that even means.
As he walked around he came across someone interesting."Hey beauty, I think I saw you before, weren't you under the arena also?."He said with a graceful smile on his face as he held out his hand to the person infront of him on the ground stuping down.
."Huh m-me?."Kozue looked up in surprise as she heard a sweet voice speaking to her and saw a hand, her face turned red as she saw the beauty creature before her, it was almost unreal, he was breathtaking literally, she held her breath.
Haile looked around."Well I guess so, you are the only beauty I can see around hear so it must be you, so anyway what has you so down."He said as he rested his back on the wall next to her.
."O-oh nothing I was just waiting for someone while thinking is all."She said as she looked down to the ground not having the courage to look up in his eyes.
She slapped her face lightly in guilt as her heartrate increased.'What has gotten into you Kozue, you were never like this, don't be so superficial, plus you already have baki....but technically we aren't together so I'm not doing anything wrong.'She thought in her mind as she made excuses to make herself feel better about blushing for another man who she just met.
."What is it, do you think I'm coming on to you, do you want me to leave I won't disrespect him."Haile asked as he shifted away slightly from her, he was actually going to leave, she is nothing really special in the grand scheme.
She said this and shook her hand as she stood up."No no it's not that, i-i don't have somebody as of now, you appeared just so suddenly is all."She said hurriedly as she stopped him from leaving which surprised herself, she lowered her hand in embarrassment as she stupped back down hiding her face.
."Haha guess I must look pretty scary to you then huh, sorry for frightening you, anyway my name is Haile nice to meet you."Haile said with a smile as he apologized with a gentle voice looking at her.
She gulped her silava as she didn't know what else to say, but began to feel a little nervous."M-my name is Kozue, Ah I think I should be going now, my-my-my Aa my brother should be looking for me about now Aghh ouch!."She said as she held up suddenly and knocked her head on Haile's elbow hard because she wasn't looking being afraid her soul will be taken away.
."Oh sorry about that, let me see."Haile said as he took one of her hands and looked at her head, he then rubbed it slightly to make her feel better.
Kozue blushed again as she jumped back slightly in fright as she held her head looking down."I'm fine sorry about that, I'll-I'll be going now bye."She said with a bow and ran away from him quickly like she is run for her life.
."Haha she is fun, baki my boy what a wonderful girl you don't have anymore, well not like you will treat her right, wanting to give her away, ridiculous."Haile said to himself with a shake of his head as he went on about his way else where to find some things to eat as well.
As he was walking along he suddenly froze up."Uh Oh.....how old was that girl....I forgot...fushit....."He whispered under his breath as he walked along to where ever his feet took him.
~~
Everyone is now back and refreshed Everyone is talking and enjoying themselves getting to know random people and making friends.
Seeing all of this Haile thought back to his good brother Thor and wondered what he was doing, he must be drunk about now, he probably didn't have any friends of his own before him.
."Haha I must go see him when I next return, we can have a little drink together, Mm maybe I can bet him something so I can cheat an win."Haile said to himself with a smile as he rubbed his chin in deep vile thought, yes this is what friends do, fuck each other over then laugh about it later when it's funny.
He relaxed in his seat as he saw Yujiro coming back he had his usual grumpy looking face on must have seen his weak ass son, he came and sit back down in silence.
."Yujiro, it seems like something fun is going down in the fighters area, can you feel that, a beast is coming, much like you but weaker by alot."Haile said casually as he rested his head on his hand.
Yujiro grin slightly."You wish, there is no other like me, I house the strength of a Demon, the Ogre, the beast of beast, the king."He said as his aura released unintentionally.
."Yeah yeah alright, you the big bad boss and king of the hills and whatnot."Haile said as he shook his head and looked down to the ring a fight was starting.
Referee:Fighters to your position.....begin.
~~
Haile watched the fight but fell asleep mid way by the time he woke back up the fight was done and another two fighters had took to the ring, this was an intriguing one now, he looked over to Yujiro who had a grin on his face.
."Another one of your lost seeds, you just like throwing that shit around huh, well well well look at this, Mm but he doesn't seem to take alot of the hanma blood though he has your ugly ass face."Haile said casually as he picked his nose and looked down at the arena.
Tokugawa who was to excited didn't hear what he said, he stood up and looked at the arena with intensity."Another great match up, Jack hammer VS Misaki kendo a master of shorinji Kenpo."He said excitedly as he watched on.
Commentator:MISAKI KENGO, TRUE TO FORM, HAS TAKEN A STAUNCH WAITING STANCE, THOUGH IT MAKES HIM LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT IT WOULDN'T BE MARTIAL ARTS IF IT DIDN'T MAKE YOU LOOK LIKE A FOOL WANTING TO JUST TAKE A PISS!!!."He shouted into the microphone which was already projecting.
."Now on the other hand, Jack hammer calmly and indifferently closes in like a professional mugger first pretend that you are just an ordinary citizen and when you least expect it....HOP ONTO YOU LIKE A MAN DOG ON A BITCH AND TAKE EVERYTHING!."He spoke calmly at first then shouted out as she stood up.
*Fhhh*
Jack hammer smirked as he threw the first punch it was only a casual one to test the waters of his opponent but it was easily defended and deflected to the side by his opponent
."HAAAAAA!!!."
*Bap*!!!
*Bap*!!!
*Bap*!!!
*Bap*!!!
*Bap*!!!
*Bap*!!!
Masaki who was dressed like a monk unleashed a fury of light sounding punches and kicks on Jack almost instantly not letting up even a moment.
Commentator:THERE IT IS, ORTHODOX SHORINJI'S "SWALLOW BARRAGE", SAID TO DO 20 HITS PER SECOND, HIS WIFE MUST BE A HAPPY LADY UNLESS HE FINISHES AS SOON AS HE STARTED HIS MIGHTY BARRAGE."He said with a glint in his eyes as he watched on.
Jack getting beaten on was still calm and collected, a cold glint appeared in his and crouch down a bit and fling open his arms together Disrupting the flow of the barrage.
*Shhhh*
Masaki jumped back with a frown on his face and went back into stance as he looked at his arm that was bleeding.
Commentator:WHAT IS THIS, JUST LIKE THAT AS HE WAS DOING HIS BARRAGE HE SUDDENLY SPURTED BLOOD LIKE A VIRGIN, HE IS NO VIRGIN TO BATTLE SO WHY IS HE BLEEDING, WHAT ON EARTH HAPPENED?!."He shouted confused as she scratched his head to see if he can dig out some ideas.
Haile watching was quite intrigued by that barrage technique, even through at his current level of speed throwing 20 punches in a second is nothing, but this masaki was nowhere close to his level, for his strength that speed is ridiculous, so imagine himself with that technique.
He didn't really pay attention to the injury it was to be expected when Jack fights dirty.
."HMmm interesting."Yujiro said to himself as he smirk and lean forward slightly.
Masaki in the ring looked confused.'What the hell did he do I didn't see anything.'As he was thinking he when back into position held his hurt hand slightly up.
*Step*!!!
Jack stepped over to him and swung down a heavy blow at him but as masaki crouch Jack used it as a faint and punch with his other hand, masaki jumped into the air and kicked him in the face.
*Drip*
*Drip*
*Drip*
But it seems the wound on his arms is deeper than thought as blood dripped on the floor turning it red.
*Boom*!!!
*Boom*!!!
*Boom*!!!
*Boom*!!!
They both got into combat again as Jack was on the attack with masaki defending but he suddenly turned it around and started stomping Jack's face on the ground.
*Buff*
*Drip*
*Drip*
Masaki stepped and sat on the ground his foot was now mysteriously bleeding the same way that his hand was.
."It is a high level technique, but nothing beyond the realm of tricks something for a party."Jack said calmly as he stood up looking at masaki who also stood back up.
Haile who was watching was getting bored of this fight, the most intriguing things have already happened and he had seen it all.
."Yujiro mind if I make this fight finish earl-."Haile said as he glanced over to Yujiro but was interrupted by Tokugawa.
Tokugawa stood up."Hold it, referee body check, see if he has any weapons, that is against the pure nature of these battles I shall not permit it."He said looking into the ring.
One of the referees jumped into the ring and went to check on Jack's body he didn't find anything he turn and nodded at Tokugawa.
."Very well, then continue on with the match."Tokugawa said as he sat back down in his chair seriously.
Yujiro turn to Haile."Go right ahead, I don't particularly enjoy this child's play either, so now the question, how will you do it without interfering with the match illegally."He ask with a grin on his face, he himself could think of a few ways but wanted to see what Haile had up his sleeve.
Tokugawa hearing this was shocked."You can't attack any of the participants that is grounds for an instant lose for the winning party."He said with a fright in his eyes, he can't have anything going wrong here.
."Oh I see, but what if one of the participants just so happened to be so distracted by something that they just happen to lose or decided to end the fight even faster, would that be breaking the rules."Haile ask with a gentle smile as he tapped his check with his finger while his eyes shun.
Tokugawa didn't know what he meant by that."W-well I guess so, if it's not a direct interference then it doesn't break any rules and would infact be the participants fault for getting distracted."He said with a doubtful look in his eyes, he had a bad feeling about this.
."Good then."Haile looked down to the arena and his eyes glowed golden and his aura surrounded his body, just because he sealed his power doesn't mean he stopped being a God.
*BOOM*!!!
A silent boom resounded in people mind as every single being in the entire stadium felt a surge of pressure hit them, it didn't harm them but they felt suffocated, inexperience fighter had no clue where it was coming from they just felt cold sweat run down there body.
Now the experienced, there body's instinctively went into combat more and turn in the direction it felt the pressure coming from and they all focused in on Haile whose eyes was glowing.
Yujiro had a shock look in his eyes as he looked over to Haile."....You.... bastard.....you were holding out on me...me...."Yujiro squeezed out from his clenched teeth as his eyes glowed also and he released an intent from his own body that took the image of Demon.
*Boom*!!!
An invisible clash took place as the two auras clashed together, one of a Demon and one of a God, everyone instantly felt the suffocation more than doubled.
The poor soul who was most impacted was none other than poor Tokugawa who was stuck between the to powerhouses.
."St-stop..I-i-i- can't....ca-can't....*gasp*..breathe."Tokugawa barely managed to force out as he layed back on his seat squeezed between the two.
Haile realizing this stopped immediately as it could get dangerous after awhile, he didn't know why Yujiro suddenly wanted to battle him out of the blue.
."*Tsk*."Yujiro seeing this dropped his as well, it would be a shame to win only because he's not fighting back.
Tokugawa sat back up."Th-thank you."He said to Haile gratefully, he knows if it was lefted up to Yujiro he would be squashed to death.
All the true fighters in the underground arena were shock speechless as they watch and felt the invisible battle take place between the two on the high stands, they were shock by the amount of power the Ogre actually had but even more so that the person sitting across from him were able to keep up they never even seen that person before.
Baki stood there frozen for multiple reasons, he didn't even know where to start, he felt despair flood his mind like a broken dam.
Kozue in the audience looked at Haile with a strange with twinkle in her eyes, she was curious about him and who he was.
The fighters in the ring were shook, especially Jack, he looked at his father with a complicated emotion in his eyes as he felt a feeling he never felt before, helplessness, he looked at his hands that were shaking.
."I can't accept this, GAAAAA!!!."Jack's eyes held a beastly shade within almost like insanity as he looked at his opponents masaki, he leapped towards him, he has to get even stronger.
*Shhhh*
*Boom*!!!
He Face slammed masaki catching him off guard, he couldn't even resist as blood spurt from his mouth and continued to Drip from his hand and foot.
Commentator:THE FIGHT IS BACK IN MOTION AND MORE RUTHLESS THAN EVER, JACK TOOK THIS MOMENT OF CARELESSNESS AND DELIVERED A DEVASTATING ATTACK THAT SHOCK MASAKI TO HIS CORE, SPURTING BLOOD LIKE A FOUNTAIN."He shouted as he caught back himself.
From the commentator shout everyone's attention was brought back to the fight at hand, the ordinary people had immediately forgotten about the feeling they just had as they didn't know what was going on.
*Step*
*step*
*step*
Jack walked towards the masaki who was struggling to get up off the ground, he looked at him and opened his mouth wide.
*Crunch*
."AHHHHHHHHHGGHHHHHH!!!."
Masaki screamed out in pain, reason being Jack had bit him, Jack was bitting his arm not letting go, his teeth were like an animals as they tore through human flesh like fried chicken.
*Boom*!!!
."AHGGGHH!!!."
Jack suddenly gave masaki and uppercut into the air breaking all his teeth but what was more brutal was that as Jack was still bitting him, a large chunk of his arm was lefted in Jack's mouth which he spat out soon after.
Jack ran over to masaki before the match could be call as over he could see the referees mouth moving.
BOOM!!!
*Crunch*
."MATCH OVER!!!."
Just before the referee could finish his words Jack delivered one final blow to masaki skull as a crunching sound echoed out from the Unconscious probably dead body.
Jack glanced up at Haile and Yujiro before walking out the arena.
."CALL THE MEDICAL TEAM, TAKE HIM TO THE MEDICAL ROOM QUICKLY QUICKLY."
Soon masaki was moved out the arena and taken away, it was unknown weather he was dead or not.
."Your son is ruthless isn't he, much like his old man, do you recognize this son, baki is a definite no right now, but what about him."Haile asked Yujiro casually to make some small talk.
Yujiro didn't say anything as he had his arms folded as if thinking about something, he got up and went up about his business.
There was a little break as everyone went on there way as the fight was a little to disturbing for them.
Haile was walking around as well through the halls looking for someone, know they are always sneaking around somewhere and he found her, she was peaking around a corner.
."...Should I be worried that you are a peeping Tom?."He came up to her ear and whispered gently as he towered over her.
Kozue's blood froze as she heard a voice from behind her back she was going to scream but she held her mouth with her hand and looked up and felt relief as she knew how it was.
."Phew it's you, you almost gave me a heart, shhh."She whispered softly to him as she put a finger on her lips as she looked back around the corner.
Haile took a peek and was who it was Jack and some other person he can't remember the name of, but he knew him, he was quite strong but was weaken by plot or something like that so he could lose, soon he is going to shake the entire underground arena.
."So why are you looking at them, you aren't into stalking are you?."Haile raised an eyebrow as he asked whispering.
Kozue blushed slightly as she felt his large presence behind her covering her and was also a little embarrassed by what he said."N-no it was just an accident and I was curious of what they were talking about."She said as she looked back around the corner.
*BOOOM*!!!
."Ahhh !!."
Kozue screamed in fright as she fell over almost on the ground but was caught by Haile as he came to the rescue and lifted her in his arms.
The one Jack was speaking two rammed himself into the building and shook the entire thing.
Kozue was scared as she hugged Haile's neck crying into his chest, she didn't know why but it just felt so natural and instinctive, but she didn't dislike it, she felt a sense of warmth, comfort and protection in his arms as she squeezed him tighter.
."WHAT IS GOING ON HERE!!!."
