Chapter 146 - Boris Ivanov

The man called Mark smiled as he said "Yes and we will do it fast since I don't think the kid will refuse our offer but in the off chance that he does we have many ways to deal with him. There is no way I am going to let a kid have, what I have been eyeing for so long!"

"So how are we gonna deal with him" asked George.

"First we will gather all the information about him and when we know about him then we will make a contact. Till the let's enjoy our stay at Japan" Mark said.

"Well I second to that motion" George said.

"Agreed!" came Stuart's reply.

While those men in suits were discussing there plans to deal with Kenichi, Kano Sho was parking his motorcycle on top of an Unfinished building in the middle of the night, waiting for Boris Ivanov, a direct disciple of Alexander Gaider and a member of Yomi. His mind went back to Miu whom, he happily thought of, and Kenichi, whom he wanted to squash, then came the memory of the juggling embarrassment. Sho also shivered when he remembered telling his sensei where he had been truthfully. There was no need to lie, as he was a horrible liar anyway, and his sensei could easily sense lies. Punishment had been brutal. Sho snapped out of his musing when he heard the telltale signs of a helicopter approaching the building.

"Helicopters may be able to fly, but they don't have wings" frowned Sho "I don't like them."

"The helicopter hovered in the air above Sho as ropes were dropped from it. Suddenly, six people dressed in army clothes began to descend down quickly from the helicopter.

"Geez, can't you guys arrive to japan in a more ordinary fashion, Boris?" chuckled Sho.

"That would be troublesome" replied the identified Boris Ivanov, who was wearing a gray camouflage suit along with warpaint. He had silver hai that was spiked in the back, and wore serious face when addressing to Sho. "We are not part of the army nor are we regular citizens."

"So, what do you require of us?" asked Boris, "It's clearly too early for our regular scheduled meetings of Yomi."

"I have a direct order from the leader of Yami" grinned Sho, "I need you guys to go wild for a bit."

"Hmph, I have no obligation to follow orders except from my master," stated Boris, "I have only came here because my master ordered me to do so, and will not move until further notice.'

The winds blew between them as Sho glared at them "I have wanted to say this for a long time...."

Suddenly, Sho comically pointed at Boris, "Boris, that camo uniform would make you stick out in the crowd! It stands out! It stands out!"

Sho had repeated the last part twice to make his point, but it was calmly ignored by Boris, who recieved a phone call from his master from a military grade satellite phone, one which was attached to a backpack that allowed the phone scrambled if anybody else tried to hack into the phone.

"I understand master" saluted Boris, "We shall be returning to Yomi's chain of command at 2300 hours until further notice!"

With his phone call done, he handed it to one of his subordinates before snapping to attention back at Sho "Leader Kano, we await your orders."

"Boris Ivanov" said Sho calmly, "I really hate you."

Days Later

"So... How come you are at my house?" asked Natsu while serving tea to Kenichi and others.

"Well mom said that I have to bring Honoka and Kaede home fr the dinner and you along with them to show them who is the big brother that Kaede talks about all the time" Kenichi said as he sipped the tea, "My, this is nice Natsu would be a good housewife Maybe I will give my blessings to him and Honoka after she turns 18" he thought.

"I can accept that reason. I would also like to meet your parents but why the hell are you two hours early in my house and why are they here as well" Natsu said.

"Nya what's wrong with me, I am the only one other then Shigure who haven't met Kenichi's parents so he asked me to come as well while Saeko and Miu will meet us there directly" stated Renka.

"And you are the one who provided tea" added Kenichi.

"Shit, that's right" thought a shocked Natsu. It had been ingrained in him to serve tea to visitors to their home, thanks to Kaede, who pointed out it was rude not to.

"Ah, perfect, you are all here" grinned Niijima as he popped in, "Wait where's Miu?"

"Oh, she 's at home sparring with Saeko as both of them have training quite intensely for sometime now" Kenichi said as he thought "Most probably trying to catch up to me"

"Mmm, oh well" shrugged Niijima, "Right now, all captains and vice captains of the Shinpaku Alliance are undergoing intense training. As for you , I have already got some information about your master."

"Wait, he is still alive?" asked Renka in shock.

"Of course he is" snorted Niijima "Ma Sogetsu is not one to die from a mere burning building."

Kenichi already told about his meeting with Ma Sogetsu to Natsu who knew that his master didn't die in that fire and still continued to look for him.

"Anyway here's the updates." said Niijima passing the paper to Natsu.

Natsu scanned and grinned, as his own investigators he had hired had failed before realizing something important, "Hey, wait how did you get in here!? I didn't hear a doorbell ring, nor did Kaede came downstairs to open the door!"

"Eh? A spare Key" replied Niijima, showing his own key before getting smacked in the head by Natsu.

"My head is starting to feel weird" stated Natsu as he snapped the key in half, only for Niijima to brag he has more.

This caused Natsu to grab him and shake him roughly until Niijima promised that he would not give any spare key to anyone. There were many people in the company who would love to get one so that they could grab Kaede.

"Ah... one more thing I have found some people investigating about you Kenichi!"
