Secrets

As both of them enjoyed each other's warmth, the train came and they got in without letting go of each other hands, time passed by quickly for them and they had arrived back to Q-City.

"Lets go have lunch?" Jack asked Lily, Lily nodded at his question and said "Last time i choose where to eat, now its your turn, where do you want to eat?"

Jack thought for a while but nothing came onto his mind, he's too like Lily new in this city, Jack proposed to just walk around and eat wherever they found interesting and Lily agreed.

While they were walking around, a loud shriek came into both of their ears, behind them, a growing cat-like monster is scratching all over the place, damaging the buildings as well as hurting the civilians, The monster's size kept increasing by the second, from it's original less than 50 cm tall body, now it reached a staggering height of 5 meters!

Both of them could see several wounded people asking for help while people are running away, the cat monster grabbed a little girl around Lily's age with both of it's paw and licked it's mouth while droll are pouring down, the girl kept screaming for help but seeing that no one is helping her, she cried in despair.

Lily seeing the sight removed her hand from Jack's grasp and ran off to handle the monster, Jack felt that he just want to kill the monster 100 times over as he was pissed off, 'why do you have to ruin the mood!' Thought Jack

Jack wants to just kill the monster in less than 1 sec but prevent himself from doing it for several reasons, one of them is to gauge Lily's power and it's power, also an experience for Lily is good too.

He watched closely as Lily charged forward to the monster, he will let the cat-like monster hurt Lily a little as she is a hero and if she can't manage with a little wound here and there, he might as well prevent her from going out as a Hero. But of course Jack won't let her be hurt too much, she's his Lily after all, he will never let anyone put her in danger, even Saitama.

Lily's current fighting style is still not that refined, she has mistakes all over the place, Jack could tell that she hasn't practice on any real martial skills or the like, He knew this because over the course of the 6 months from before, he had manage to 'gain' some martial skills from martial masters, some from memories while some through unorthodox methods.

Anyways, Jack figured that the first thing he will try to teach her is his martial skills, specifically all martial skills he knew, combined with Sora's ninja skills with those he manage to devise some pretty deadly moves and techniques,.

Lily kept punching the cat monster after it releases the little girl, she dodge and punch then sometimes kicks it, she manage to land an elbow blow to the cat's gut causing it to cough a little, Lily felt like she had accomplished something but Jack knew that it was a trap from the start.

The cat monster smiled evilly as it saw Lily's contend face and immediately slashed both of its paw onto Lily, causing her to open her eyes in surprise, she tried dodging but seeing the position, she knew anything she do will be futile, she covered her face with both of arms, hoping to reduce the pain...1 second....5 second...the pain never came.

Lily opened her eyes wide as she saw Jack and the cat monster, Jack was standing with a Ryyk blade on his right arm while the cat monster is...dead on the ground with it's head sliced off. several hundred times!

"Ho...how?" Lily asked with a stutter, Jack seeing her surprised expression chuckled, he went in front of her and flicked her forehead

"You'll know later on, all i have to say is that with your current capabilities, you're unworthy of the title 'hero', you do manage to get sometime for the girl to escape but then what? If you fall, who will stop it from chasing the girl and other citizens?" Jack asked in a kind of mocking tone and as if answering the question, somebody popped out.

Jack stared wide as he currently can't believed that he arrived at such a perfect timing, Watchdog Man arrives to the scene right after Jack teased Lily, He sighed as he remembers that this is Watchdog man's city, he didn't want to have any interactions with him as he knew he will get ignored, he grabbed Lily's hand and pulled her away.

On the side, watchdog man's eyes kept following Jack and Lily's leaving figure, he scratched his head with his 'paw' while inside, he asks himself ; 'He smells like someone...someone powerful'. Watchdog man discarded the thought and start heading back to his 'Watchdog Plaza'.

While Jack is pulling Lily away from the scene, Lily is currently reassessing what had just happened, she knew she had closed her eyes but in just a brief period of less than 10 seconds, the cat monster had been cut over and over again for more than a hundred times!

"Ja..." Before Lily could ask her question again, Jack once again cuts her off and pleasantly cover her lips with his index finger as he said "I'll tell you all about it later, i promise, so can we just go eat? I'm starving" Pleaded Jack.

Lily could only nod as Jack had made a promise, she fixed her posture and started walking beside Jack, she stared at Jack's right hand and wanted to grab it again but she felt like she missed something.

She recalled her memories, Jack, standing upright in a dashing manner and looked pleased with a Blade on his arm.....The Blade! She saw no blade on Jake's body, in the first place, how did he get the blade!

She wanted to asked but remembering Jack's 'pleading', she kept it to herself for now...She felt like the more she got to know him, the more mysterious he became....Unconsciously, Deep Inside Lily's heart, she secretly hoped that Jack will honor his promise and tell reveal everything to her.
