Chapter 22:

Yoshimura. (Part 1)

Saved By The Bell!


(After the incident involving Daxton and the assault on numerous students, Daxton was placed on probational suspension by the school indefinitely and is unallowed to return to the academy until midterms were concluded. During that time, Senri was coming out with the fact she was a girl disguised as a boy the entire time to the academy and the group inside the dormitory common room.)

"Senri: I'm really sorry for lying to you guys..."
"Tashiro: Don't worry about that, we're just.. Worried, how the hell did you wake up so soon..?"
"Henry: A more important question, you limped out of the hospital with injuries like this...?!"
"Senri: ...I was visited by a man who claimed they've paid my hospital bill and he took care of my treatment from now on.. Whatever he used, I was able to walk just enough to get back to the academy.. They let me go on the condition I have a wheelchair and a crutch.."
"Kin: We're grateful you're alive and are able to walk, but you shouldn't attend any classes until you're completely healed."
"Senri: I know... I was handed a letter by the counsel after they was aware of my return.. Also, where's Renzo and Hunter..?"
"Tashiro: The injuries Hunter gave Renzo were quite concerning, so he's being checked out at the infirmary. And as for Hunter..."

(The room then reveals Daxton chained down to a bed while recovering, in hopes he does not escape and attack anyone else inside or outside the school.)

"Tashiro: We had to take... severe measures to make sure he doesn't move until he's recovered."
"Senri: ...Oh... Could I go see him..?"
"Henry: Just be careful, please."

(As Senri was given the heads up, she'd watch on her crutch to Daxton's dorm room and sits in silence while watching the sleeping Daxton.)

"Senri: ...Hunter. I heard about everything you've done during my time in the hospital... Personally, I was afraid... But I was grateful. No one has ever gone that far for me before and I'm just an ordinary girl... Now after knowing what you've done for me.."

(Senri then leaned in to the sleeping Daxton and kissed him on the lips for a long moment before separating and opened her eyes with a smile.)

"Senri: Hunter. I love you... But I'd like to wait... I want you to tell me what you think of me when you get the chance..."

(As Senri then continues to watch Daxton, time passes as Kin was currently on the phone with another family member back in Japan.)

"Kin: But you don't understand I-"
"Kin: I can't leave everyone behind, these are my friends, you can't do this to me please...!"
"Kin: ...I never asked nor wanted to carry the family legacy, I'm staying with my friends across their journey and there's nothing you or the family can do to stop me!"

(Kin then hangs up the call and throws her phone to the side before throwing herself on her bed in anger. Suddenly, her dormmate atop the top bunk bed looked down at Kin.)

"Miyo See-Yun (Kin's Dormmate | Nickname: Zest): Hm? Is something wrong, Yoshimura?"
"Kin: ...Nothing, just some family hatred.. I'll be in the training room."

(Miyo immediately senses something wrong by the change of her grammar. As time passed, Kin was viciously throwing heavy punches and kicks to a punching bag before huffing and puffing while breaking a sweat. She'd then have a jolt of her dad in her memories before acting out of instinct and punches a hole through the bag, blasting foam out of the bag and exploding into small chunks which began to terrify her. As Kin then backed away, she'd back into Tashiro whom out of instinct, she'd then begin to fight him with an aggressive style of assassin-like martial arts. Meanwhile Tashiro counters and avoids every fatal attack and blow before slapping Kin in the face to knock her back into reality.)

"Tashiro: Yoshimura! Are you alright?"
"Kin: ...M-Mr. Gonkuro... Thank you, I'm much better now..."
"Tashiro: That wasn't like you, is something wrong?"
"Kin: ...I um.. I received a phone call.. The Head Maid of the Yoshimura Clan informed me... my father is enforcing me to return to Japan to rule the clan during his retirement."
"Tashiro: Ah, Sir Yoshimura's retiring after 62 years?"
"Kin: ...My father has been competing in Martial Arts tournaments since the age of seven and from that day, vowed to become even stronger. But the fact he's turned into an assassin is out of pettiness and money, I didn't ask to be born into a family of assassins...! Tashiro, as your friend I ask of you... Help me. Please..."

(As Kin shed a tear, Tashiro then pats her head and looked her in the eyes.)

"Tashiro: Listen Kin, there may be no point in avoiding what your father desires. I know, because I saw him battle before. He'll stop at nothing or anything to make sure what he gets what he wants... But that doesn't mean I'm abandoning you. So yes, I'll help you."

(As Tashiro then delivered Kin a hug, she'd begin to feel the warmth of something she was not given in 11 years. After feeling such care, she'd begin to shed tears and cry loudly onto Tashiro's shoulder, breaking down mentally after hiding her emotions for years.)

"Tashiro (Thinking); Poor girl... I can tell she hasn't been loved in a long time."

(Meanwhile in Japan in the city district of Tokyo, Kin's father, Takuji Yoshimura was rewinding and rewatching Kin Yoshimura's fight in Korea at Chun-See-Yoon Academy in the comfort of his tower home. His peace was then interrupted by the head maid of the Yoshimura Clan.)

"Yumia June (Mistress of The Yoshimura Maids): ...M-Master. Yoshimura...?"

(Yumia immediately ducked as a bucket of popcorn was thrown at her as she continued to speak.)

"Yumia: Um... Yoshimura Junior stated she will not return to Japan..."

(Takuji then paused the rewatched fight and arises from his seat, revealing his 6'5 height and thick muscled body despite him being old in age.)

"Takuji Yoshimura (Interregional Martial Arts Champion | Ranked #5 Globally): ...She will not return you say? Have the airport stamp me a ticket to Korea, I'm going to collect her myself."
"Yumia: U-um... M-Master Yoshimura, there's also something else... Young Yoshimura actually hangs out with this group of individuals during school.."

(He was then introduced to Renzo, Tashiro, Henry, Senri and Daxton but was merely focused on Tashiro and Renzo.)

"Takuji: ...That movie star delinquent is hanging out with high schoolers...?! And especially my daughter?! This facade will end... NOW!"
"Yumia: ..M-Movie star sir..?"
"Takuji: ...Ah, right... Tashiro Gonkuro is not only known as a multi-reigning MMA Middleweight Champion, he hid the fact that he's truthfully a movie star but has left the movie scene to begin fighting once again."
"Yumia: ...So why is he attending high schools with this group, Master Yoshimura?"
"Takuji: That reason is beyond me. All that matters is me bringing my daughter home by force. Have the airport prepare a private get to the city Chun-See-Yoon Academy currently is!"
"Yumia: Right away, master!"

(As Yumia ran away, Takuji finishes up his glass of gin, leaving the ice cubes and begins to walk out the lounge room door with a slam.)
