It was late in the night when my parents returned home, we tried to cook something, but both me and Kisara weren't the best at cooking, causing a small scale disaster in the kitchen.

After burning the rice, we ended up with only boiled potatoes, at least that's all that Kisara could eat, I still had my roots and herb, that tasted like shit, Kisara refused to even taste them.

-Dad, What did you decide?

-It's all resolved, you two are getting married, the dates are still flying, but it's set in stone, also after you finish school You'll be joining the Yakuza, also we'll be moving to Mr.Nanjo's place, You should have seen it, it's so huge!

I felt sort of betrayed, but as long as they're happy and I can be with Kisara, I don't care. Kisara on the other side was different.

-I'm not going back home!

-Of course you don't need to, if you don't want to, the same for you son, but you will have to learn how to cook, clean, do the laundry and make money on your own

We stood there with our mouths open, it was a rather weird phase in our life, as we were now officialy a couple, but most of all we were a rather sorry sight to see. Me running around town looking for a part time job and Kisara learning what housekeeping is.

By the end of the day, both of us just gave up and followed my parents to this new place, of cource Buchi was also coming with us, meowing all of the way.

Kisara lived with her Father, since her mother lost the battle for custodity and she rarely met her at all, same as her father, whom most of the time was out for field "Work".

He was big, but he wasn't the Big Boss, they had some trouble here and there, but in general they just fought over territory and protection money.

What followed was nothing special, really, we just went to our schools did what we usualy did, I would go to the Dojo and Kisara would go to the Ragnarok something. Everything had returned to its original state, like a ripple that had almost disappeared and all it took was just one boring school day to happen.

After sparring at the dojo, I felt somewhat empty inside, I don't know why, maybe I'm becoming stronger, but Master Hopachai's blows have become numb, as if they are lifeless, of course I had no idea that at the time Apachai was trying to control his own strength and battle instincts, it was understandable that all his blows were but an empty shell of their past deadly glory, something similar was also hapening with Shigure, as they were training themselves in order to better train Kenichi, their one true Disciple.

For them I was but an afterthought, after all I was talented and would train on my own even if they didn't torture me to do so.

Even more so after I became a master, the spars at the dojo no longer brought me satisfaction, maybe that's also another reason why I prefered being with Kisara rather than go to the Dojo.

As for Shirahama Kid, he's probably being tortured at the Dojo, since he doesn't take his training seriously, mostly because he's an idiot.

When I reached our new home, the large estate, I was a bit disappointed, especialy since Kisara wasn't back.

-Don't worry she always returns when she gets hungry(Mr Nanjo)

-Aren't you afraid for her, she's out there by herself

-Not really, she's a strong girl, took it all from me, even that little group she's playing around with is a good thing, maybe later she can take over my spot in the Yakuza, but now with such a strong and capable son in law, how about we go for a walk you see we have had a little problem at the docks lately, you don't have to do anything big, just transport a message to a place and come back, it's rather simple, really

-If that would mean that Kisara will be safe and mine, I don't mind

-Son in law, both sides have already agreed, it's not a big deal, is it, but be careful of one of the bodyguards, he's a real monster, last time he destroyed all of my boys by himself, even bullets won't stop him

-Alright just tell me where I have to place it

-I knew I could count on you!

The chauffeur drove me at close proximity of the place, it was a rather large appartment, all I had to do was deliver the package and leave, sounded simple enough.

When I saw the said "bodyguard" I was taken aback, because the Bodyguard was Master Sakaki, he was guarding the entrance, but I didn't have to use the door, I took off my shoes and walked up the wall, my feet worked like suction caps due to the weird stuff Master Ogata had done to me. I found the approximate location of the room, oppened a hole in the wall and placed the box inside, there was a man sleeping near where the box fell.

I don't think it woke him up, but I should hurry away, jumping from such a height could mean death, but I didn't want to get caught by Master Sakaki.

I fell on all four, I could feel my bones holding up, but there was some internal damage. I went back to the car and nodded that the package was delivered. What happened next was something that would haunt me for the rest of my life.

The chauffeur took out a small device that had a long antenae and a single button, I think I don't need to tell you what happened next. I myself don't want to remember it, because this was the night where I indirectly caused someone's death.

When I returned to my room nor Buchi, nor Kisara were there, I was all alone, but it was fine, because I wanted to be alone right now, I wanted to calm down, to relax, nobody will find out unless I tell it to someone, it will all be fine, if someone accuses me, It wasn't me that pressed that button.

Days passed at school, Goblin Niijima was unhappy, Shirahama Kid's popularity was falling, because he hadn't beaten anyone in a while, then Shirahama went and did a stupid "I want to be Hero of Justice" speech, getting on my nerves, but I should calm down.

I arrived at the Dojo, at the entrance awaited the Elder, this time I couldn't look him in the eyes.

"Do you wish to talk?"

I didn't speak, only nodded, I wanted to talk with someone and this elder might be the only man I can trust, a man of honor.

-So you were set up and indirectly killed a person or more

-Yes sir

-Then cut ties with them

-Could you cut ties with your Grand daughter if she became Evil?

-I can

-I cannot, you can call it cowardice or stupidity, but I can't escape my own emotions

-You don't have to, all you have to do is tell them how you feel, they will do all of that for you, they will try to crush your dignity and honor, drag you through the mud and force you to becone what you are not

-Elder you are wise, but I don't want to lose her, if losing my humanity is the cost for our relationship, then it's a small cost, all I want to do is tell someone how I feel

-Then you can leave and never return to Ryozanpaku, you are no longer a disciple here, in fact you've been a master for a while now, even before you arrived and passed through our Gate, but you should know that if you meet any of us next time, we might be your enemies

-Elder, can I ask you for one last thing?

-Ask

-Can you spar with me?

-Hm, hahahahaha

I was knocked out in a matter of seconds, the elder sure is strong, but he's also stupid, enemies have to be destroyed, I have not chosen this path, but this path chose me.

I stood in front of the Gates of Ryozanpaku, I bowed thrice and walked away, vowing to never return.

"Thank you for the Bushin technique, Elder"

The next day we had no school, the huge estate however felt empty, Kisara was sleeping like a queen and I'm sure she needed her beauty sleep. I was walking around the estate when I saw a suspicious man enter the estate by jumping the wall.

"Sir, the gate's over there"

The guy took out a gun and begun to shoot, a pity that I was already behind him, I knocked him out and brought him back to the estate. Kisara woke up because of the shooting. That bastard! I should have made him pay!

Mr Nanjo was rather happy after seeing the captured man, then he thanked me for the good work and excused himself as his bodyguards took the unconcious guy away.

During breakfast I had an announcement to make.

"Dad, Mom, I'm dropping out of shcool"

"What?"

Everyone present even Kisara were shocked by my decision, but I had to become stronger, after seeing the Elder's strength and knowing that he's now my enemy, I can no longer crawl on the ground like an insect, I had to learn how to fly.

-Are you insane, to drop out you first have to find a work(Dad)

-I'm sure Mr Nanjo has something in mind(Yashin)

-The laws are clear on the matter, unless you turn 15, droping out of school is impossible and you're not even 13 yet, even Kisara is older than you by a year, but still has to attend high school(Mr Nanjo)

-Mr Nanjo, do you remember that bodyguard you talked about yesterday, that person is someone I know and he too knows who I am, do you believe I will care about laws right now?

-It's still Unacceptable!(Mr Nanjo)

-This matter is not one of choice, but one of necessity, I have to get stronger and to do that I have to walk a rather steep path that might bring me to hell, Kisara are you still willing to be with me if I become a murderer, a wanted criminal and the worst scum on earth?

Kisara just looked at me, she was lost for words, her young mind was unprepared for this question, all she knew was how to kick ass, complicated stuff was too much for her.

"You don't need to answer now, after all you still have the choice to go back, take your time and enjoy life and take good care of buchi, I will see you later"

I whispered in her ear as I run so fast that to them it probably seemed as if I disappeared, running is good, running is perfect, feeling the breeze as I jump from building to building, disregarding laws and opinions, for the first time in my life, I felt free.
