Snippet #1853873

Fuwakawa Kenji, aged 18 years estimated and well known for having surpassed the Kyokushin and Wing Chun Clubs, and defeated most of the strongest swordsmen in his original area of conquest. He does not view himself as a delinquent, and hardly a Bancho, often disliking the word and its use on him. He was an accomplished martial artist, a person to keep up his grades, and very kind, unlike the label of yanki given to most. A Saint among sinners, Kenji could never bring himself to do what he had seen numerous other lower fellows had done, abusing power and using it against people for fun. Those same people he'd vowed to destroy. And he did just that. He'd already brought down two entire Delinquent Unions, presumably by himself.

The ferry had arrived in the guaranteed 44 hours time, in which, he spent mostly meditating and fasting, even abandoning his coat, putting on a couple weighted items (Ex. wristbands, anklebands, etc), even going as far to be suspended underwater by the boat anchor. His desire to train was just too powerful, and he felt his techniques were unrefined…

But, then he had a bit of assurance…

-

At some point, while practicing movements for his sword, it appeared a large fish would jump out of the water at a certain precise moment and height. It also seemed to be taunting him whenever it looked his way, (when he was watching from the front deck, the bloody thing would be smiling and doing tricks for the tourists that were also riding.) So, with much calculation, and careful counting, he devised a means of taking the fish out, and getting some seafood for dinner for his first night in Okinawa. At first, he meditated. Waited. Recited his technique…

-

And then the fish was flopping around, making that supernatural laughing sound. Kenji's eyes flashed open, and he leaped up, kicking himself off the ship, and flying towards the edge of the ship, unsheathing his sword, as he was just inches from the safety railing, which he'd kick with his feet to keep himself on the boat, and as not to fly off.

Shushinkyaku (Step Kick Lunge)

-

The Fish had actually now came flying towards Kenji, laughing, and trying to disturb his footwork. With an unwavering look on his face, he flicked his wrist, and his sword disappeared, reappearing inches from the sea creature, which was cleanly split into two.

-

Saishouha (Flying Cyclone Blade)

-

Kenji used another Shushinkyaku, and backflipped his way back to his original area of meditation, his blade returning with the two halves of the fish in tow, pulling some stuff from his coat, and proceeding to pack the fish for later…

"This ought to give me fair amounts of protein. Then again, I could sell it for money and attend a much nicer restaurant…"
