Aya smiled towards Nagi turning around on the balls of her feet. She walk away letting Nagi Finish up with his Practice. He looked at Bob, sighing still. "I guess it can't be helped, shes hot, and I do want to have lunch with her.." Nagi says in a low voice.
He placed his self back in his stances, and punchs the tree some more. He looked at the other tree, and striked again.

Bob nodded.
"Unless you have a good reason to, never turn down an invitation from a hot lady. You will regret it every time."
He continued to do his Capoeira, starting to get a beat going in his head. He was not sure what it was, but if it could help, he would use it. He had to use every available resource to help him win.

Nagi started to punch the tree, and then kick it after to make a combo. He kicked it as hard as he could, and the tree break then twisted into the air. Nagi didn't even think he jumped to the side, and punched down on the tree. Nagi broke the tree inhalf.

Nagi started to blink, and looked at the tree cut two times. "Huh I think I'm ready to get into the Jyuuken club. what about you Bob.?" nagi said in a Calm voice, and a grin at the end of it..

Bob ran up to the tree and hit it with his new signature punch.
"Armor Piercing technique!"
The tree exploded into splinters. He turned to Nagi.
"I think so, but I have a favor to ask."
He assumed a Capoeira stance.

"I got this new theory on fighting, that I can feel the beat in the ground that opponents use when attacking."
He started to warm up a little.
"Nagi, I want you to come at me with a punch. If I can feel the beat, I can dodge it with little effort. I won't counterattack, but I will incorporate that in a real fight."
He waited for Nagi to come at him.

Nagi looked over to Bob, and nods. He'd walk over to him, moving acrossed the ground in stride. Once he was close enough Nagi would throw a punch at Bob. He'd be even closer to bob..

Bob closed his eyes, letting the beat move within him. He felt Nagi moving across the ground. When he felt the punch coming at him, he did a handstand, getting himself out of the way of the punch. He then moved behind Nagi, opening his eyes.
"My theory was correct. I can dodge attacks that way."

"Thats pretty good Bob. I think we are ready to show Maya Natsume what we can do.." He grinned putting hand up fro a high five. "I'd like to see what she says now.." He said in a low voice.

Before School

The sunset was still rising in the city, and some were still asleep, yet one was still awake. In one's room, a target being hit several times could be heard by an older man, awakening from his bed, and walking towards the room. The man could also hear yelling in a calm female tone. The closer he approached, the more he could comprehend each word of the female's yelling.

"Ichi.....ni.....san......shi.....ichi.....ni.....san....shi...", the voice kept repeating.

The man had finally entered the room to witness a young girl in an aikidoji uniform, hitting her target with her wooden jo. He was wondering why she was up earlier than he was, but he was proud of this girl, and her dedication to practicing.

"You're dressed up a little early aren't you, my child?", he asked the girl.

Umeko had turned back to the man, hardly revealing any sweat or exhaustion, but she was panting a little.

"Oh, I apologize for waking you, father.", she responded in a pleasant manner, bowing to him, before continuing with her training.

Her father's protective, and sweet nature began to show, chuckling at his daughter before entering the training room, which was her brother's bedroom at first, but since he's been married and in his own home, the room became a training room for both Umeko, and her father. The father examined his daughter's technique in her training, correcting any movements, or positions of each move, in his own mind.

He spoke out on very few corrections, such as "Lift your arms up when you are doing that move.", and so on and so on. He knew that Umeko was improving on their family style, and quite greatly.

Her training, however, had to stop as it was time to get ready for her first day of school, feeling confident about her next set of girls for her club.

During School

Umeko walked to the cafeteria with some of the female members in her club, conserving on their upcoming meeting today. That's when they all suddenly stopped at their tracks, for what was in front of them were some people limping from injured body parts and students gathered up in a crowded group.

In the crowd, Umeko saw Megumi, a young girl with chest-length charcoal black hair. The bangs in front mostly covered her eyebrows. Megumi was a part of Umeko's club. In fact, she was the Vice-President, and Umeko's right hand woman. Megumi was quite the confident girl, being a Freshman, and her short height (5'2") proved it.

"Megumi-chan", Umeko called out to her friend in a loud volume, to make her voice known over the crowded area. Megumi turned her back instantly, literally running towards Umeko and the other girls.

"Umeko-chan, you missed the whole thing. It was the greatest thing I've ever seen."

"What is it, Megumi-chan?", another girl from the Aiki-Chan club asked.

"A fight broke out just a minute ago with the Executive Council, and these two new guys!

"New student?", Umeko recalled, "Do you know the name?"

"No, I don't, but all I know is that he's an American, or at least he looked like it. He isn't from here. He made the Council just fly onto the air like Peter Pan."

The other girls were quite amazed at the story Megumi told. Umeko, however, was not, still expressing a serious look, which Megumi caught onto.

"What's wrong, Umeko-chan?", Megumi questioned in the middle of her action tale.

"Pretentious man, I hear. It appears we have a new threat in this school. There's a high chance that other clubs will beg at recruiting this foreigner, and once they do, the club will try to invade every other club with all of their power."

"Do you think that's true, Umeko-chan?", the other girl spoke out.

"I believe so.", Umeko responded with a nod, "Remember, girls, keep your ground, and don't lose your defense, especially with this foreigner."

Bob nodded.
"Yeah, but we'd best wait for Maya to come to us. I don't want her drawing a sword on us again."
He began walking away, headed for the basketball court. He grabbed a ball and started hooping.
"Up for a game, Nagi?"

"Come you want to try, and check out more of this school. Maybe we'll be able to find more weaklings to take out." Nagi looked over to Bob, grinning like he always does. "So how about it. Ehh I'm tired, Lets hoop." Nagi walked over to the basket ball court. He'd lean forward with his both his hands out. He'd be waitting for Bob, to move toward the basket.

Nagi was never good at Basket ball, But he'll play with Bob. He looked around, and waitting for him to move.

Bob shrugged.
"Eh, I've had enough fighting for today. Tomorrow, we can get our Jyuukenbu colors and show these weaklings whose boss."
He smiled. Nagi had yet to beat him at a game of basketball. He began driving for the net, side-flipping to score a slam dunk.

"Eh" Nagi looked over to the net, and toward Bob. "I guess i haven't gotten better with basket ball." Nagi was getting pretty tired, sense the trainning, and the fighting.. But tomorrow was going to be a better day for both of them. "So tomorrow is going to be a better day man. I think we should go, and get something to eat from the Roman shop, or something. I'm hungry as a mother fucker, Bro. All this trainning, and fighting have me grabbing my belly." Nagi smiled, placing a hand behind his head, and looked toward the buidling.

He'd drop his hand to his side, moving toward his belly.

Bob nodded.
"Sure, man. Let's get something to eat."
He put down the basketball and headed for the ramen shop.
"Give me some Miso Ramen," he told the clerk in Japanese.
He then sat down at a table to wait for his order.

Nagi noded.
"I'd like some Roman, Sir. Miso Roman." Nagi Spoke to the man in Japanese.
Then seated him self in a chair righ tin front of Bob.
"You think Chiaka would like something to eat." Nagi Asked Bob.
Nagi grabbed the Chop sticks on the side, and snapped them in half sense they were cheap. He'd put them in his right hand, and started eatting. " Some of the girls in the school are pretty hot. But most of them can kick are ass in a instant. If we don't watch are selves." He grinned with the noodles almost near his mouth, but they just full off right into his lap. "AHH shit, damn chop sticks!" He said alittle loud, then stopped talking, grabbing some napkins, and taking the noodles from off his leg. He'd put it on the table, continuing eating. "Ok theses chop sticks really sucks."
"HEY! You like the food, so don't comeplain!" The cook from the back yelled toward Nagi"
"Aw Shut up!" Nagi barked back.
"What did you say you little Punk!" The cook grabs his meat cleaver, staring at Nagi.
Nagi looks back about to yell at him, when he seen the meat cleaver, and ducked down.
Sweat drop was right behind Nagi's head. Then he turned toward the Cook.
"I said your Food is pretty damn good!" Nagi Yelled
"Oh thanks Now eat up, you punk" He started laughing feeling proud of his self.

Bob shrugged.
"Eh, I think she's on a diet."
He chuckled when Nagi struggled with the chopsticks. Bob had had some problems getting used to them, but now he was better with them.
"Yeah, they are hot. I still wouldn't drop Chiaki for any of them, though."

When Nagi started having an argument with the cook, he laughed.
"Is there anyone you won't get into a fight with?"
He ate some of his ramen.
"So, what do you really think of that chick who's stalking you? Think you might date her?"
He ate some more ramen.

"I think its creepy to be stalked. But I don't know. Maya is pretty Fucking hot, but with that attitude of hers. Eh"
Nagi picked up the food with the chop sticks, and took abite.
"That guy, I don't know that meat cleaver is pretty damn sharp." He'd say.
He'd eat some more.

Bob shrugged.
"Yeah, Aya is a bit creepy when she stalks you. But, this is Japan, man. This is the shyest country in the world. She's probably never had a boyfriend before, and she's not sure how to approach an outspoken guy like you."
He ate some ramen.

"Yeah, Maya is hot, and boy, does she have some knockers. I know she seems kind of harsh, but we did go into her club uninvited. If someone entered your house uninvited, wouldn't you be pissed?"
He ate some mroe ramen.
"I guess what I'm trying to say is that you can't always judge someone based on a first impression."
He reached across the table and gently slapped Nagi's shoulder.

"Besides, dude, what's there to complain about? You could totally bang this Aya chick if you get to know her well enough. You've got a beautiful, top-heavy chick throwing herself at you. It's kinda like when Chiaki threw herself at me."
He finished his bowl and stood up.
"So, what do you wanna do now?"

"Your right, I'll try her out. I'll go on the date." Nagi grinned, finishing his food. "Ok I'm pretty tired, I'd like to get a good nights sleep before tomorrow. We've been trainning like demons for the whole day, plus thoses fights." Nagi places his Chops sticks down on the table, and moves for the door. He'd wait for bob to follow him. Nagi places his hand on the door, and opens it, then walks feeling the out side air brush up against his face. It was agreat night, better then anything. The moon was out, and it was pretty light. You could seen everything.

Nagi was in the mood to sleep, and get some rest. To see what tomorrow holds for them.

Ken was done with his Afterimage Fist training just after his talk with Alan. The Assassination Artist Was done with one of his new techniques, and was moving onto the final technique...

"A Technique from the 'primitive' years of creation...Its power must make it a God Fist Range of Attack. Coupled with Modern modifications and my current training, I should be able to Annihilate anyone...I'll have to stay up late to master this move!"

Ken pulled off his coat, leaving him in wristbands, sarashi, and baggy pants with the high waist.

He began to use a specific style of breathing, tightening his muscles, and increasing tension. His muscles began to get more noticeable.

"Haaaaaa...." He chanted, eyes closed in order to focus.

then, his tightened fists opened, the grip he had causing his hands to gain a wound each in the palms. His Eyes shot open, and he began to shout for Kiai.

"NAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUGGGHHH!!!!!!"

He thrusted both arms forward...

Cafeteria

The crowded area was beginning to clear after the fight went to a conclusion. Students either exited the cafeteria, or sat back to their respective tables, going back to their own usual business of people communicating only to those in their circle.

Umeko and the girls were no exception. While some girls went to the bar for their selections, Umeko already had a box of lunch for herself that she made this morning. Her health was another priority for her. A small bowl of rice, and a bottle of water, among other small portions of food.

“Since it's the first day, you know what that means, girls.”, Megumi stated, standing up with her hands on the table. “We're going to do our own Aiki-Chan pep rally.”

The girls laughed, smiling at the confident Megumi. She always knew how to hype the girls up in a positive manner, including the leader Umeko.

“That's right, Megumi.” Umeko responded with a smile, “and you will actually be the one to do the prepping today in our first practice.”

“Really? Why?”

“Something involving the family school that brother needs to talk to me about. Nothing drastic, but it will take a while for me to go back to the dojo.”

“Cool. Just as long as it isn't anything bad going on, and tell Mitsuteru I said “Hi”.”

Umeko chuckled at Megumi's friendly proposal, “I'm make sure of that, Megumi”.

From that point on, the girls at the table discussed about other subjects, such as school matters, and......boys. Umeko, however, had a gut feeling. As if she could sense something beginning to go wrong at this school.

Bob followed Nagi out.
"Sure. I'll see you later, man."
He began walking away. Today was a great day. The Knuckle Bombs were stronger than ever, and were going to be a nuclear bomb up in this shit!

Alan made his way to the cafeteria. Due to his height and good looks, he was sure he stuck out a bit. Several of the clubs were eying him. Alan looked them all in the eyes.
"You want some, too? I'm right here, waiting."

This caused them to look away. Nobody wanted to mess with the tough American who had dropped 1000 members of the Executive Council. Alan got a try of food and sat down by himself. So far, he had only talked to two people here who didn't want to fight him. Nice school. But, it was no big deal. Alan was used to fighting, and anybody who dared to stand up to him would be put down hard.

Nagi walked back to his Appartment looking at the same door, and the same place. He walked right up the stairs, taking a step, one up the stairs he looked at his appartment, and sighed. This was the same apparment that he leaved in, sense he was a child. It never changed in size, it have the same one bed room appartment. Nagi was close to the the door, getting ready to put the key into the hole.

Nagi was tired real tired in fact. He looked at the door, unlocking it, then openning it. Nagi looked into the appartment, checking everything from the out side. He then took a stepfoward, going through the door. He'd turn around, and flip the lights on, and lock the door of his appartment. "Man new school, but the same Old appartment." Nagi said in a low voice.

He'd walk over to the light, flipping it off, then walking toward his room. He'd grab his clothes, and went to take a shower.

Bob walked in the door, hearing the faucet running in the kitchen. This was an indication that Chiaki was home.
"That you, Bob?" she asked over the water.
"Who else would it be?" he asked with a smile as he walked in and put his arms around her waist.
Chiaki leaned against him.
"I don't know."

"I got an invitation I think you'll like."
"Oh, yeah?"
"Nagi's got this new girl who likes him, and he invited me to go with him on a double date to this ramen shop."
Chiaki smiled.
"That sounds fun. Though I do wonder how anybody could want to date a loose cannon like Nagi."

"He's not always like that."
"I know, I know."
She cocked her head to the side.
"You hungry?"
Bob shook his head.
"No, I all ready ate."

Chiaki resumed washing dishes. Bob sat down in his chair. After turning on the TV and finding nothing, he set down the remote. He then began to read the paper.

Cafeteria

While the Aiki-Chan girls were continuing their conversation, a threat from the background erupted, sticking out like a sore thumb because of the Western accent. The words caused some heads to turn, expressing either anger, jealously, or even shock from flinching at the sound of it. Some wanted to see another rumble. Megumi and the girls watched as well, wondering who was responsible for it, realizing it was the foreigner again.

There were a select few, however, who were in their own world, ignoring the American. Umeko was one of the few, drinking her purified water in peace. Umeko believes that moves like that proved him/her to be somewhat of an egotist, and proved that the person had flaws inside of that hot-blooded personality. Actions like that didn't impress her, even though using self-defense does the opposite. Besides, she had other issues to attend to.

Yet, she was still certain about him being a threat to this school.

Nagi got done taking a shower, he looked around, and seens the mirror that was all fogged up: "Man this is going to be a long year, and i'm starting to wonder how far its going to go." He thought to him self. Then placed his hand on the fogged mirror wipping it up.

Nagi took one look, and walked out of the bathroom, and into his own room. He'd stop half way taking one look at it, and then moving in grabbing his boxers to put them on. Then he grabbed his pants, and shirt, and his his long sleaved, ankle high coat. That he always seems to wear.

Nagi turned walking toward the door.
