Sirimiri ; ODAJIMA YUKEN

Chapter 8

THIRD PERSON

A year has passed since the clash of Oya and Housen against Kidra. Things seemed to have settled down for both groups. They've found peace and somewhat normal day to day lives to live.

Like today for example.

It's bright and sunny and not a single cloud in the sky.

Why of all days does Hanaoka Fujio (the leader of Oya High), decided to visit Suzuran to meet the man of legends, Rao.

Hearing the stories from Todoroki really piqued his interest and he did catch a glimpse of the infamous man (after a heavy fight with the rest of the school) but that was it.

He didn't get to talk much to the man but Fujio got one good look at him and true to his name, he looked really strong.

He was tall and bulky. He wore a white wife beater, black uniform pants and a long black coat was draped over his shoulders, covering his back. An embroidered logo with Suzuran's name was sewn to the back in yellow thread.

"Hey! Dumbass! What you looking at?" The shorter man behind him yelled as he looked at Fujio.

Fujio didn't answer as Rao called the man back, running up the stairs and entering Suzuran.

The day could have ended with Fujio going back to Oya.

------------------------------------

"What the hell are you thinking?!" Jinkawa Eimi, ¼ of Housen's 4 Four Heavenly Kings angrily yelled.

"We're the Killer Corps! Are you mocking Housen?" Shida Kenzo added, standing beside Eimi.

"Think you can just walk in here like it's nothing? Huh?!" Sawamura Shojii yelled as the leader of Oya calmly sat in front of them with a bright demeanor.

"Umm, long time no see." He greeted looking at the 4 men in front of him. " I was in the neighborhood, so..." He finished, a hint of a smile on his face much to the complaints of ¾ of Housen's leaders.

"Now, now. What's the problem? It's not like he's a stranger. Right?" A teasing voice added and Fujio smiled as the friendly face of Odajima Yuken welcomed him to Housen, placing a hand on his shoulder as he crouched down next to Fujio.

"Hey, who is that guy?" A second year Housen student named Tokuyama Monji asked fellow second year Sabakan beside him, keeping his voice low as to not interrupt his seniors' conversation.

"While you were in the hospital after crashing your bike, we fought with Oya High in the SWORD area, remember? That's Hanaoka Fujio from Oya High." Sabakan explained, gesturing to Fujio who was conversing with Ozawa Hitoshi like they didn't just try to kill each other the year before.

"Umm..." Sabakan started, taking a step forward.

"What?" Jinkawa asked.

"Just so you know... before coming here, I hear Fujio made a scene at Suzuran." Sabakan revealed as Ozawa Hitoshi looked at him in disbelief.

"No way!" Jinkawa yelled in shock, looking at Fujio.

"What? Seriously? You're beyond dumb, aren't you?" Kenzo joked, crouching to Fujio and Yuken's level on the floor.

"That's kind of you—"

"It wasn't a compliment." Kenzo clarified as Fujio dropped his smile, mistaking what he said as a compliment.

"Don't tell me you were looking for Rao." Shojii said as Fujio nodded.

"I was, but some guy named Mashii told me I had to get a ticket and wait in line if I wanted to see Rao." Fujio explained, prompting Yuken to laugh beside him.
