Chapter 144 - Miu's Decision

Sho suddenly accelerated forward, intent on stabbing Kenichi in the stomach at speeds that would surprise many disciples class by surprise. But unfortunately for Sho, he wasn't fighting a disciple class nor a expert class but a low class Master. Kenichi halted the attack by grabbing his wrist before his attack could reach him.

Sho wanted to shift his body so he would be under Kenichi's center of gravity but before he could.

CRACK

The branch they were standing cracked and Kenichi let go of Sho's hand.

"Kenichi!?" Miu asked

"Yes sweety" replied Kenichi.

"Are you wearing those dead weights" asked Miu

"Yeah" Kenichi sweat dropped.

*CRACK CRACK*

*BOOM* the ground cracked as Kenichi crashed on the ground.

"Tch Tch Damn... that hurt" said Kenichi who was now sitting on the ground.

Sho was shocked once again as he saw the broken ground underneath Kenichi while he didn't had a scratch on himself.

"Let's move somewhere else or we would be thrown out of the garden cause of this" said Miu

"Yeah, Let's go" Kenichi said as he stood up grabbed Miu's hand and walked away from there before Sho could say anything else.

Seeing the two walk away, Sho followed them as well as he was not ready to let go of Miu so easily.

"So you sure I can't change your mind?" Sho asked coming right beside them as they walked some distance, "I can tell you all you want to know! Perhaps you want information on say… your father"

Hearing this Miu stopped dead on her tracks as she turned her head looking straight at Sho "What did you say!? Information on my father!?"

"YES! I know you are Miu Furiniji and your father Saiga Furiniji is one of my masters so I am one of the people who has the most Information about your father" Sho said

Kenichi knew what Miu was thinking but didn't say anything to her and just gave a reassuring squeeze to her hand that he was holding to let Miu know that he was there for her.

That Squeeze wasn't much but It was good enough to disperse the cloud in Miu's mind "I am sorry but the life I have right now and the people I have with me are more important for me then knowing about the man who has never shown his face to me."

At this moment Kenichi's existence grew even bigger in Sho's Mind along with Miu. Miu was the perfect girl that he wanted and Kenichi was the bug blocking that path.

"Sho-sama!" shouted Hayami, suddenly appearing before them.

"Please don't run off like that" heaved Seto, "Sensei told us to keep track of you."

Sho started to sweat bullets as his two escorts appeared before them and if they got to know who he was with, his sensei would surely punish him. Still, there was a chance they wouldn't know.

"Ah, you are Shirahama Kenichi!" shouted Hayami.

Scratch that, he was screwed. His only hope was to have Seto and Hayami keep quite about this. Before he could decide a plan, a familiar voice popped over.

"hmm? It's been a while, hasn't it Kano Sho, or the leader of Yomi, one of Yami's Martial artists Suparna." Tanimoto Natsu came from a path standing beside Kenichi.

"Ah, Hermit, it's been a while" waved Sho, "Don't try to stop me, I am going to crush that bug."

"Umm… Don't you think that your inferiority complex doesn't affect me at all" said Kenichi

"What!? What inferiority complex!? I have nothing of such thing!" retorted Sho

"I think you do! I am more handsome then you, stronger then you and have a girlfriend that you want" said Kenichi with a c.o.c.ky smirk on his face.

"Haa…. None of them are true...except the last one but that won't be there for long" Sho argued.

"Well I think I am because she says so" said Kenichi as he grabbed Miu by her waist snuggling with her right in front of Sho making him grind his teeth in anger.

Sho's eyes went red as he almost attacked Kenichi but before he could Natsu asked "Won't your master God Hand be pissed right now due to you not listening his orders?"

Sho shivered in fear and losing all his killing intent in an instance as he remembered that he was clearly breaking the rule that Hongo had told him personally not to do.

"Right, I should get going" shivered Sho, "but let me try one more time. Are you sure you won't come with me and fly together in the dark skies Miu Furiniji?"

"Are you brain dead or something!? Clearly she is in a happy relationship with me, so why do you think she would follow you who follows the creed of killing while she follows the creed of life?" Kenichi asked as he looked at Sho as if he is an idiot.

"I also have to interrupt you there," sighed Natsu, "I suggest that you not pursue that lie of thought. Do you want God Hand and Invincible Superman to be pissed at you for taking her without order or consent?"

"Ah good point" nodded Sho, "Well no matter. I am sure that you will see in time Miu that you will find your true place with us. By the way, why are you here hermit?"

Sigh…. Because I made a promise" Natsu said.

"Big brother!!" came Kaede's voice followed by another familiar voice for Kenichi and Miu " Why is he running from here and there!?" it was Kenichi's sister Honoka's voice.

What the hell!?" asked Kenichi as he saw Kaede and Honoka running towards them.

"Ah that's my Big Brother! And Sister Miu as well! Hey we didn't knew that you were coming here as well!?" Honoka said as she ran towards them.

"APA APA don't run" came another voice and when everyone saw the figure who spoke those words Sho and his two brothers where shell shocked....
