Chapter 6 - Start of Canon

(6 months later)

Kamogawa's office, Coach Kamogawa was standing up with the support of his cans staring from outside his window thinking of something. Another person was also with him. His Manger, Haruhiko Yagi on the couch looking at his back.

Yagi: "Is it about Miyata and Kenta?" Asked a question. Kamogawa finally turned around, out of his thinking sat down opposite him.

Kamogawa: "Yes, I've been thinking of what to do with them, mainly Kenta. The kid is growing up quick, it wouldn't surprise me if he doesn't win next year's All Rookie King Tournament." Slightly shocked by Kamogawa's estimation, Yagi thought that Kenta was just one of many rookies that was literally a monster in every sense.

Yagi: "What about Miyata?" Expecting something similar to Kenta, Yagi was yet again shocked from what Kamogawa said.

Miyata: "*Sigh* He's a very rare talent I wouldn't deny that. But... He isn't on Kenta's level. Although, I wouldn't say he is weak. Since seeing Kenta's fast growth, Miyata has drastically increased his training and his results are shown by that." Nodded dumbly at this. Kamogawa mouth grew a smile on his tired face

Kamogawa: 'What will you do Miyata?' Excited for the future of Boxing, Kamogawa kept on tapping his cane with anticipation.

Yagi: "Aren't you going to watch the match?" Shaking his head, Kamogawa walked away to th

(Change of Scenery)

On a pathway near a bridge, Kenta and Takamura were jogging/running doing there usual Roadwork. Unlike 2 years ago, Kenta was actually beside Takamura with steady breathing.

Takamura: "I can't believe you have changed so much." Head turned to Kenta, Takamura smiled at him. Takamura in the first time in his life respect someone and saw someone as basically a brother

Similar to him, Takamura even though not losing his family, could be said to be a orphan from his lack of family. Only his sister gave him attention while the rest were either not available to or basically disowned him because of his actions.

They both also shared a similar thing. Both used to be loners because of family related situation and never really had proper friends before joining the Boxing gym. Also had a similar personality traits, Perverted, Arrogant, friendly and hard-working.

Kenta: "Me neither. Just shows time flies fast." Feeling nostalgic, Kenta remembered everything. Meeting Nyoko, Joining the Gym, Going out with Nyoko's family and finally, working hard to get where he was now. Everything was just so surreal.

Takamura: "Get used to it kid. It going to get fa-" Stopped in mid-way through his sentence. Both Kenta and Takamura noticed 3 delinquents bulling a short kid around Kenta's age.

???: "Why don't you do something loser!" As he shouted this a Delinquent kicked the short teen in the stomach. Thrown back, the short kid felt himself hit something hard but soft.

Takamura: "You don't look that good kid. They must of hurt you pretty badly." Slowly opening his eyes, the kid saw a tanned man with black hair hold him. Given a close look at the delinquents, Takamura said honestly.

Takamura: "How can you look this bad against these punks. They don't even look surprisingly strong."

???: "So who the hell are you." The green one acting arrogant, Takamura put the kid down and said.

Takamura: "Don't acting big Infront of me, you losers." Giving there own medicine, in anger the green student uniformed cloth delinquent shouted.

???: "What did you say!" Finally getting him to lean on the bridge pillar. The three charged forward.

???: "Who are you calling a loser!"

All three of them coming in with a punch. Takamura just glanced at them and dodged under them in a line. Looking from behind him, Takamura said mockingly.

Takamura: "What are you doing on the floor, gardening?"

???: "Don't get cocky because your quick." Stood back up, the delinquents were about to attacker again. Until they noticed their jackets.

???: "HUHHHH!"

What shocked them was that all of their buttons on their jackets wasn't there. Left with fear and curiosity of where they went, all of them turned to Takamura in shock. Takamura dropped all of the buttons on the ground.

Takamura: "I've got the right to be cocky." Fear already overwhelming them, all of them ran of in fear. Looking at Takamura, the kid said before lossing conscious.

???: "You are.... Awesome." Closed eyes with blood all over him, Takamura turned around to the other side where the delinquents went.

Takamura: "You could of chased after them idiots. Why didn't you?" Appearing from around the corner of the bridge was a leaning Kenta.

Kenta: "Didn't feel like chasing them." Grin on his face, Takamura understood and grinned back until he turned to the side at the fallen kid.

Takamura: "Do you know the kid?" Nod from Kenta, Takamura picked the kid up on his shoulders and both of them headed back to the gym.

Walking back, Takamura with the luggage and Kenta. They got to the Gym and opened the door, going into the Gym to the bench. Everyone just asked questions to which Takamura just simply said.

Takamura: "He was getting beated up and being a nice guy, I rubbed the feeling in to them."

Left after that answer, everyone went back to normal and trained. Bandaging his face with a med-kit and towel over his face, Takamura asked Kenta.

Takamura: "You staying to wait for the kid to wake up?" Shaking his head, Kenta shifted his eyes to Takamura's.

Kenta: "I've got training you deal with him. Chow!" Quickly putting his gloves on, Kenta walked away down stairs with a hand up.

Takamura: "Hey! Don't leave me with this wimpy kid." Veins on his face and mouth enlarged to a huge size. Takamura shouted in raged while pointing at the kid. All he could hear in the distance was.

Kenta: "He's all yours!"

(Scenery change)

Kenta: 'Now. I'll just let everything go as planned until Ippo joins the Gym then I can re-introduce myself. Don't want my presence to effect his confidence and knowing me I might actually say something that could hit it.' Down the stairs, Kenta opened the gym door to the bottom part and let himself in.

Switching the lights on, Kenta started with some exercises. Sit ups, press ups and squats as well as stretches then decided to go on the speed ball.

Start with a jab at first, Kenta would just dodge back and continue on until he decided to pick up the pace. Only 3 minutes in, Kenta decided to ramp it up. Given a hard 1-2 to the speed ball, the ball came back even faster. Smoothly and swiftly, head slipping back, Kenta did another 1-2 without decreasing the power behind it.

This time when it came back quickly, Kenta used his Footwork and pivoted to the right. Straight away pivoting, Kenta stepped in and gave a lightning-fast Straight. Upper body forward, Kenta brought it back still without getting hit by the speed ball.

Hook leaving his right arm, he continued with a 1-2. Ripples being heard by his fast punches in the air, throughout the gym. Kenta dodged with his whole body and countered the lively ball.

On the rest of the speed ball, Kenta would stay fast-paced. Dodges, slips, 1-2, hooks and jabs would be used effectively and nimbly. Just his constant Footwork being used to go to different positions swiftly seemed so advanced.

When he left the speed ball, Kenta would go onto do shadow boxing and the punch bag. Left with a drink in his hand, Kenta stretched his arms and said with curiosity.

Kenta: "Status."

Kenta: "There is a without a doubt I'm above everyone else in next year's All Japan Rookie King tournament." Smile already on his face and speaking arrogantly, Kenta smile went even wider.

Kenta: "Sendo might be the closes thing to make me lose, but he will still end up on the canvas like the rest." Mouth curved in a blood thirsty smile, Kenta already imagined the small prideful boxer bloody on the ground.

Kenta: "Maybe Miyata or Ippo could be able to put up a fight because of my involvement." Shaking in the possibility, a blood red aura encased Kenta.

Kenta: "I can't wait for the All Japan Rookie King Tournament!" Screaming his desire, Kenta's eyes changed colour briefly to the same colour as the imaginary aura around him.

Slowly disappearing, Kenta Blood Lust was going down. The Creepy smile leaving his face, Kenta went back to his training.

Time flying in the gym, Kenta had finished his intense training in a hour. On the bench currently wiping his forehead with a towel, Kenta saw Kamogawa open the door.

Kenta: "Hey Coach." Greeting Kamogawa. The Coach looked at Kenta with a relaxed expression.

Kamogawa: "Still working hard. That's good, don't need you getting rusty now." Gaining a laugh from Kenta. Kenta stood up opposite him and patted his back before going out and said.

Kenta: "True, I don't want to get rusty before becoming a champ...." As arrogant as he said that, Kamogawa didn't mind it. He knew that Kenta had the ability to back it up and was a prospect like non other, only Date could beat Kenta currently.

Headed from up the stairs, Kenta opened the door to the top floor gym and headed to get his stuff from the Locker. When grabbing it and putting his stuff in, someone unexpectedly put him in a headlock.

Takamura: "For what you did, I think at least you have to let us spar. Don't you agree.... Kenta...." Slowly tilting his head upwards, Kenta saw Takamura with his face overshadowed with a fake smile and veins popping from his forehead. Sweating profusely, Kenta slipped under his headlock and said before dashing away.

Kenta: "Hahahah... Maybe next time!"

Takamura: "Get back here you piece of shit! Don't leave me alone with that kid and expect to run away so easily!" Rage shown on his face, Takamura left Dust behind his feet and chased after Kenta.

The Cat and mouse chase lasting for a very long time. Kenta was actually in the end successful in losing Takamura. Holding his stomach, Kenta regained his breathed and said exhaustingly.

Kenta: "Talk about a workout. Hahahaha.... Fucking Takamura you scary bastard." Mocking Takamura, the person in question sneezed and looked around, saying suspiciously.

Takamura: "Someone's speaking about me again. I bet it's that little shit, Kenta." Narrowed eyes, Takamura dashed in a completely different area.

In Kenta situation, the young man was relaxing on a bench. But surprisingly heard his name be mentioned beside him.

???: "Kenta is that you? It's been ages, you hardly go school now." Snapping his body to the voice, Kenta saw Kumi in her part time clothes.

Kenta: "Oh hey Kumi. I didn't see you there. It's been ages hasn't it?" Smile like his usual self, Kumi deciding for herself sat beside him and said sadly.

Kumi: "How come you don't come school anymore?" Answer to him, Kenta just wanted to focused on his boxing career and make a life of it. So as much as school will help, Kenta just wasn't the best person for it.

Kenta: "I haven't stopped school, it's that I do my work at my apartment and send it to school. I somehow came to an agreement with the principal, you can say he is a fan of Boxing. Hahahaha!" Got her explaination though to her disappointment of why, Kumi said to him worriedly.

Kumi: "Why don't you stop. Boxing can get you hurt." As worried as Kumi was, Kenta just brushed it off and stood up turning to her seriously.

Kenta: "Kumi, Boxing isn't something I can throw away. I've sold my soul to boxing. I'm glad you care for my safety but I got it all on lock. I'm just built different." Question mark coming on the top of her head, Kenta just simplified to her his words.

Kenta: "It means I've got it all sorted and I'm completely different compared to your regular boxer." Nodding dumbly at this, Kumi regained her senses and not minding the sweat, hugged Kenta. Noting his muscles behind the attire even if briefly, Kumi thought.

Kumi: 'How did I only just notice his muscles. They look so solid.' Blush slowly getting on her soft white face, Kumi stepped away and said before walking away.

Kumi: "It was nice to meet you again Kenta. Hope to see you later." Waving her hand. Kenta replied and smiled.

When she was gone, Kenta turned and just shook his head. Everything was coming along quick. It must be fate that both him and Kumi met because for the last 6 months of when he officially started to work at his apartment. Him and her never met not even once.

It was actually weird because when he would meet Nyoko, Kumi would leave not knowing Kenta was coming, minutes ago for something important. All that seemed very suspicious almost like someone was deciding everything. Just thinking of that scared Kenta because then basically his whole life was in another's hand.

Kenta: "Shit is going to go down between me and Ippo because of Kumi isn't it?" As you can tell, it seems that Kenta was very close of snooping me out and almost spoiled some parts of the Story. Truly a scary being that I've created.
