It is another day at Houki Mart. People casually go about there business buying things that they need. While it maybe another normal day it is also a time for another brawl over half priced ben-tos. Yo Satou, Sen Yarizui, Hana Oshiroi and Yos cousin Ayame Shaga are waiting for the God of Discounts too come. Too which he eventually does but due too the amount of ben-to (a few more then normal) takes a bit longer. While they watch 2 people enter, each having a ear butt in ear listening too music, arm in arm. While getting close they remove the ear butts and separate.
Yo: A bit late but they made it.
Shaga: Never seen them before.
Sen: They are Dogs.
Hana: I wouldn't say so. They look different.
Once the God of Discounts places the half priced seals on the remaining Ben-to and leaves the sales floor. With practiced bravado a hell breaks loose. Flying fists and feet are the order of a moment. Hana gets a ben-to first by just being sneaky. Yo, Sen and Shaga are doing what they do best, cracking skulls and showing their strength. Shaga bulldozes her way through and is about too get a ben-to for herself but the girl who came in before stands in her way. Shaga attempts too move her but the girl stands fast, blocking and dodging.
Girl: Beauty by the Lake I presume.
Shaga: You would be correct. But get out of my way!
Girl: You and I have the same Ben-to in mind. So I will not 'get out of the way.'
Shaga lets out a primal scream and charges. But the girl dodges and hits Shaga hard enough too stun her and makes a be line for the ben-to. Shaga recovers quickly too catch the girl and clock her in the face with a kick. Knocking loose the sun glasses she was wearing. What Shaga see surprises her when the girl turns too face her. Before the girl retaliates something catches her attention, making her run too grab a ben-to and leaves the battle area. Brawls usually end as fast as they start. Hana, Yo and Sen all got a Ben-to, while Shaga didn't get anything except bumps and bruises.
Shaga: *sigh* Well I guess its just ramen soup tonight.
Yo: Pretty rare you did't get a Ben-to Shaga.
Shaga: Fought someone strong.... strong enough too beat me. Well I shouldn't say that but....
Sen: But what?
Shaga: If i told you wouldn't believe me. But I know what I saw.
The next day end in a rare half day for schools Hana, Sen and Yo hang out while walking from school. They meet up with Shaga. While walking they come across two people from the brawl the previous day.
Hana: Hey its them.
They approach them. The pair are enjoying their ben-to from the previous day.
Hana: Hello.
Boy: Oh hi. Can we help you guys with something?
Sen: You were at the brawl last night.
Boy: Guilty as charged.
Yo: You two are from a different school. Your uniforms are different.
Boy: Indeed. We are 3rd year students.
Girl: I heard 4 sets of foot steps. No one has left. May I ask the 4th person a question?
Shaga: Sure.
Girl: Why do you stay silent?
Shaga: I figured as much.
Yo: Shaga... what are you getting on about?
Hana: Yeah.
Sen: Okay, fill us in will you Shaga?
Shaga: You are blind aren't you?
The Boy and Girl say nothing. But the girl stands up and removes her sun glasses. Hana, Sen, Shaga and Yo let out an audible gasp.
Girl: i'm not totally blind. I can see.... big things or if the light is just right.
Shaga: How do you fight then?
Girl: I feel my way around.
Everyone: You... 'feel' your way?
Girl: I'll use an analogy. Put yourself in a boat and let the current of a river take you were ever it wants too take you but I use a paddle when needed.
Shaga: I could only hit you end your back was turned. Other then that I couldn't.
Girl: You are strong though.... Beauty by the Lake.
Shaga: You seem too know me but who are you?
Girl: I am Yuna.
Boy: I am Kai. All finished Yuna?
Yuna: Oh.... yes.
Kai walks too a pair of garbage cans (one for trash one for recycling)
Sen: Hey this isn't America. We recycle here
Kai: I fully aware of that ma'am. And what problem do you have with America!?
Everyone is taken aback by his Southern US accent. Which wasn't present before.
Sen: You aren't from Japan?
Kai: I'm from Nashville, Tennessee. American born and bread. Yuna is from Northern Japan.
Yuna: Kai is part of the acting club at our school. One of the best.
Kai: I get laughed at for the way I talk. Well Japanese have a funny way of speaking too. *wink* Acting helped me suppress it.
Yo: What about you Yuna?
Yuna: I'm in band. I sing.
Kai: As am I. But I don't sing. Play instruments.
Shaga: Well at least we know something about you two. But what is your nom de guerre?
Yuna: Radar. Like from the character from a late 70's, early 80's TV Show.
Kai: Crimson Fury. Like from the car from a car combat game. And because I wear red a lot. Your the famous Ice Witch and your the Pervert.
*Kai sits down next too Yuna*
Sen: Why are you hear in Japan?
Kai: Schooling. My parents are in business and it is just temporary.
Hana: What about you Yuna?
Yuna: Well...... long story.
Kai: If you excuse us. We must be leaving.
Yo: Where?
Kai: We are part of the Golf Club as well. I'm the player and she is my caddie.
Hana: How does she help you when she is blind?
Kai: She just does.
Yuna: Good-bye everyone we will see you soon enough.
They board a bus and head out of town.
Yo: Well..... always glad too meet new ben-to brawlers.
Hana: They seem nice enough though.
Sen: Hm....
Shaga: You wish too face her don't you Sen?
Sen: Yes. But I wish too know her reason for fighting for half price Ben-to.
Yo: She wasn't willing too tell us, just it is just a "long story."
Shaga: When she fought me she had no intent of hurting me but she did stand in my way.
Sen: He didn't say anything about his reasons either.
Yo: Must have gotten a ben-to before any of us saw him.
Hana: I highly doubt they fight and hurt people just for fun. But i'm sure they do for the reason we all do.
