Chapter 112: Amisate & Kazuya's Day Out!

Project: INFERNO


(As Kazuya waited by the Sawano and Gaito statues in the middle of Hakodate, he remembered the announcement Ash gave at class.)

-During Class-

"Ash: So regarding the Elemental Games, we're actually being joined by several spectating gods and several of Earth's officials as referees. The following games for this event are of the following listed here on the board."
(The board then released the list of events for the Elemental Games which surprised the classroom as Ash was beginning to announce them.)
"The events for these games are... Javelin Throwing, Discus, Acrobatic Gymnastics, Basketball, Baseball, Fencing and finally, Running. If there are any questions, please consult with me after school and I will have the time to answer them."

-Now-

"Kazuya: The Elemental Games will be big..."
(Kazuya then slapped himself and was serious.)
"No! I swear I will win the Elemental Games and prove my superiority to Tats- Gaito..! I'm not just someone he can take control of!"
(As Kazuya continued to give a speech to himself, Amisate arrived with a smile as she watched Kazuya talk to himself. A moment later, Kazuya was embarrassed as he saw Amisate.)
"T-TOMIZE..!"
(Kazuya was admiring her flowing purple hair along the wind and Kazuya noticed her wearing an exotic-styled yukata and blushed at her beauty.)
"Amisate: I'm so glad you was able to make it, Atharu!"
"Kazuya: W-Well I uh... I would feel like a j-jerk if I turned down this date... How long was you watching me..?"
"Amisate: Only for a few seconds."
"Kazuya: AHHH!"
"Amisate: My brother is quite like you, he's a very... fantasy-loving person."
"Kazuya: O-Oh.. really..?"
"Amisate: Yeah! But I don't let that bother me, I do love my brother!"
"Kazuya: Family love.. Are you ready to go? I do know some places we can go to!"
(Amisate blushed with a smile as she followed Kazuya while watching them was Tatsuhiro from afar but was concealing his presence and his power from being sensed. After walking around, Kazuya and Amisate stopped at an arcade which was crowded.)

"Amisate: Wow! I've never been to this place before! Kazuya, what is this?"
"Kazuya: You never heard of an arcade before?"
"Amisate: No unfortunately, I've been so devoted to protecting those of Japan I've limited myself from anything distracting."
"Kazuya: Well I don't want you to do that. This is a date, so be yourself!"
"Amisate: Well.. Okay!"
(She grabbed Kazuya's hand and they both went into the arcade, playing several games together and won a prize together and shared it as one. After the games, Kazuya and Amisate walked to an occupied air hockey table which had Amisate more curious on what it was.)
"Amisate: What's this?!"
"Kazuya: This is air hockey, a pretty great game I enjoy playing with Shibuto and Hinami."
"Amisate: Really? So how does it go?"
"Kazuya: Let's watch these two play and you'll see how it goes."
(As they watched the two individuals play air hockey, Kazuya quickly recognized one of the two.)

"Wait.. Shibuto?"
(He stopped playing and paused as the hockey puck went inside and the long haired individual who've won against Shibuto with a whopping score of twenty to seven was Sugizora who hid her face from Kazuya.)
"Shibuto: Kazuya! Miss Tomize!"
"Amisate: Mister Magachi, Miss Tokiyomi!"
"Kazuya: Shibuto, how did s-she beat you twenty to seven?!"
"Shibuto: I have more experience at baseball than hockey.."
(A while later, Shibuto, Sugizora, Kazuya and Amisate all sat together at a nearby restaurant which was crowded due to its fanciness. Sugizora was silent but held Shibuto's hand.)
"Kazuya: So you and Sugizora are.. partners for the Elemental Games...?"
"Shibuto: I can't deny that yeah, she asked me out of the blue and I couldn't turn it down!"
(Amisate was humming quietly while drinking a traditional Japanese tea then noticed Kazuya was feeling down about something.)

"Amisate: Kazuya, are you okay?"
"Kazuya: O-Oh! Y-yeah.. I'm fine..."
(Amisate leaned into Kazuya and placed her forehead on his, Kazuya a bit freaked out with a blush on what Amisate was doing.)
"W-WH-What are you-"
"Amisate: You're beginning to have a headache, give me a moment."
(Amisate then ordered a glass of water for Kazuya then created a small concoction with minimal directions which had Kazuya a bit nervous.)
"Drink this, this will clear your headaches."
"Kazuya: Y-You're sure..?"
"Amisate: I promise Kazuya!"
(He then looked at Shibuto who nodded in saying he should drink it as Sugizora was still silent. Kazuya then took one sip of the glass and after a few seconds, he no longer felt any headaches but also feels a lot healthier.)

"Kazuya: W-WOW..! What is this..?!"
"Amisate: Its an old family recipe for common headaches or sicknesses, I learned it back before I met Raijin!"
"Shibuto: About Raijin, what can you tell us about him?"
"Amisate: Well.. there is quite a lot. However, I can tell you how Raijin and I actually met."
(Everyone including Sugizora secretly listened in while across several tables in a disguise was Tatsuhiro watching the four of them.)
"Tatsuhiro: Look at him.. He's being cheesed up.."
"???: I'll say. However, Amisate knows what she's doing..!"
(They both paused and lowered the menus and realized that Tatsuhiro and Raijin has met face to face with a blank eyed stare.)
"Tatsuhiro: Raijin."
"Raijin: Tatsuhiro."
"Tatsuhiro: We may have had our differences but how are you?"
"Raijin: I am doing perfectly normal myself!"
(Raijin and Tatsuhiro then was talking again while Amisate continued to tell the story.)

"Amisate: During that stormy night, my family was actually ran into.. loose beasts from the Beast Realm. I couldn't make it back in time to fight them... I was the only person who survived the carnage, because I wasn't there.. Before I was about to accept my death, Raijin struck down every last beast in the capital.. then he took me in. I look at Raijin as... my father. I might be his top disciple but he's treated me with such care, I cannot turn a blind eye to him and say he's nowhere close to a father material..."

"Kazuya: ...Tomize.."
"Shibuto: So.. wait.. Your family was killed in the capital..? Are you... royalty..?"
"Amisate: Yes. I actually am, believe it or not. My father was one of the wealthiest men in Japan. But after his death, all of his money and everything in the capital went to flames. Nothing was left except the remains of a shattered memory..."
"Sugizora: So. You're royalty."
(They all then noticed Sugizora was speaking.)
"Big deal if your father was the wealthiest..."
"Shibuto: Sugizora..?"
"Sugizora: The real question around here is, why did you ask out someone you've just met after just transferring to Shinsei Academy?"
"Kazuya: Uh- T-Tomize-"
"Amisate: Because, I've taken a liking to Kazuya. I've heard about his feats in battles and how he's allied with several relevant fighters across Japan. I may have just met him, but there is no law saying we cannot go on a date and try to befriend each other, is there?"
(Sugizora gave a glare at Amisate as she did the same but with less emotion.)
"Kazuya: I... got to go to the bathroom for a moment..!"
(Kazuya quickly ran around the corner to the bathroom as Shibuto was nervous about the hatred between them. Kazuya then heard a dish clatter near them as he noticed. Raijin and Tatsuhiro arguing about who is the better lightning god.)
"Raijin: I've been around far longer than YOU have, Magachi!"
"Tatsuhiro: That's funny because I've been around for one hundred million years..!"
"Raijin: You think you're a lot better than me do you?"
"Tatsuhiro: I don't think, I AM."
(They both then started growling which lightning started to slowly conduct around them until Kazuya called out Tatsuhiro.)

"Kazuya: Gaito?!"
(They stopped as Tatsuhiro turned around and saw Kazuya.)
"Tatsuhiro: Hey! How's the date?"
"Kazuya: W-WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE..?!"
"Tatsuhiro: I'm just catching up with an old.. friend of mines!"
(Kazuya looked at Raijin and was immediately shaken by his presence.)
"Kazuya: Y-You're...!"
"Raijin: Raijin, pleased to meet you, Kazuya! Amisate told me about you on her first day."
"Kazuya: R-Really..?"
"Raijin: Indeed, she's really taken a liking to you. I do hope you take good care of her!"
"Kazuya: I will..!"
"Tatsuhiro: Kazuya's capable of that! if he can handle near death he can definitely-"
(A loud slap regarding a shattering dish startled the three of them, along with the bystanders eating inside the restaurant. Shibuto quickly backed away after Sugizora slapped Amisate, forcing her to drop her ordered food and fell to both knees and landed her arm on the table.)

"Shibuto: S-SUGIZORA!"
"Sugizora: What type of shit is that..?! You're on a date with Kazuya because you're taking an interest to him?! What kind of BULLSHIT IS THAT?!!"
(Amisate said nothing as she then picked up the broken dish pieces and several waiters apologized as they cleaned up the dropped food.)
"Waiter: I'm so sorry miss, we'll prepare you another meal..!"
"Amisate: Its okay. Please, don't waste ingredients recreating an already prepared meal."
(Amisate stood up and ignored her bleeding nose after Sugizora's slap. Kazuya then noticed it and was stunned at Sugizora showing emotion.)
"Sugizora: Get up. GET UP!"
(Amisate then stood up and took another slap from Sugizora.)
"Amisate(Thinking): No violence... I cannot.. use violence.."
"Sugizora: What's wrong?! ARE YOU A COWARD? PROVE TO ME THAT YOU'RE TELLING THE TRUTH!"
"Shibuto: Sugizora, you need to calm down!!"
"Sugizora: SHUT IT SHIBUTO!"
(Amisate continued to stand there as she continued to not resort to violence.)

"Amisate: I do not wish to hurt you, please stop Sugizora.."
"Sugizora: Your petty crying isn't gonna WORK!"
(Kazuya rushed back over and gripped Sugizora's hand. She turned her attention to Kazuya and was more pissed.)
"Kazuya: You need to cut it out!"
"Sugizora: GET OFF ME!"
(She yanked her hand away from Kazuya and threw a powerful punch but Tatsuhiro appeared in front of Kazuya to take the blow. Sugizora was then terrified that Tatsuhiro was here.)
"Raijin: Amisate, are you alright..?"
"Amisate: I am fine Raijin, just a little blood."
"Tatsuhiro: Do you mind explaining your actions..?"
"Sugizora: H-HEADMASTER MAGACHI..!"
"Raijin: You need to have better control over your student! Attacking my dear disciple means I WILL HAVE TO DISCIPLINE HER!"
"Tatsuhiro: Anyone who lays a damn hand on my students will see that exact same hand ripped off their own damn body!"

(As tensions was building, several bystanders inside the restaurant evacuated as within a flash of lightning, the entire restaurant exploded and lead to Raijin and Tatsuhiro battling in the skies. Kazuya, Shibuto and Amisate was then saving any nearby civilians and getting them away from the collision between two gods.)

"Kazuya: THIS IS CRAZY! TATSUHIRO!! YOU GOT TO STOP!"
"Amisate: Raijin! You've always said do not resort to violence! Please don't fight him!!"
"Shibuto: COME ON GUYS, STOP!"
"Both: THIS IS A GOD'S BUSINESS! STAY OUT OF IT!"
(Both thunder and lightning was striking and booming in Hakodate as Tatsuhiro and Raijin's battle of lightning was becoming more and more deadly by the second.)
