Chapter 36 - Fate shifted.

Hahahaha, expecting a chapter about Hayato Vs Ogre?

Too bad, I won't reveal it until much later.

By the way, after the Hermit arc I will try my best to stop following the canon like I'm doing and add my own arc.

Though, Odin vs Kenichi will happened. As for Haruto, not sure who he'll fight in that arc. Maybe someone from Yomi or from the Worm.

By the way, suggestion is a highly appreciated. So do drop some to help me create more chapters.

=============

The next day, All the members of Ryozanpaku came to watch the play Akisame and Sakaki were wearing Suites, Shigure was wearing a formal dress as well along with her Katana wrapped in a clothe, Kensei Ma was wearing his regular Chinese clothes and Apachai was wearing T-shirt and shorts.

"It's good that we came early and got the best seats" said Kensei Ma

"Hello, we are Miu's family." Akisame said to the family sitting beside them.

"Oh hello we are the Shirahamas, Kenichi's parents and we know about you all our daughter has told us about you" said Saori

"Oh, Kenichi's parents" Sakaki asked

"Yes this is my husband Mototsugu Shirahama." said Saori, introducing her husband.

"Hello I am Akisame Koetsuji, Haurto and Kenichi's master in jujutsu." said Akisame

"I am Shio Sakaki Haruto and Kenichi's karate master." Sakaki said

"This is Kensei Ma Haruto and Kenichi's master in Chinese Kenpo" Akisame said introducing Kensei who was busy in clicking pictures of highschool girls

"I am Apachai Hopachai" Apachai said

"I am Shigure Kousaka." Shigure was going to introduce herself and everyone sat down with Rito and Mikan watching the play as Haruto was heading inside the auditorium when suddenly

"Haruro!" Niijima shouted after entering the auditorium. Seeing him, Haruto remembered something that he had forgotten and cursed.

"Oh F*CK!!!" He forgot that Kisara was going to try and mess with Miu.

"Haruto I know you want to watch the show but this is important." Niijima said

"What is it!?" Haruto asked even though he knew the answer.

"It's Kisara and her gang they are coming here to deal with Miu, Kisara said that she wants to fight against her once again" Niijima said

"Does she want to destroy her play as well?" Haruto asked.

"No I don't think so but there is no guarantee that she will wait until the play is over and may challenge Miu during the play." Niijima responded and Haruto looked at the play that was about to start. He signed in annoyance and went to tell them that he was going to the bathroom real quick. Haruto called Takeda and Ukita since it's a hassle fighting too many opponents.

"Wait, why are you wearing a blindfold?" Takeda arrived since he wanted to repay him for helping them. Ukita also started to train harder in judo, remembering Haruto's Lesson.

"Don't tell me they attacked you?" Ukita asked and Haruto shook his head.

"No, it's just part of my training. Anyway let's go since I don't want to waste anymore time." Haruto said as the two nodded following him. They arrived in front of the gate where he moved to see there were more than he expected.

"I knew you'd stop us from doing something to Dairy Cow." Kisara said seeing Haruto who realized that he was wearing a blindfold.

"Wait, why are you wearing a blindfold?" She was confused, wondering what the reason was. On the other hand, Haruto simply shrugged.

"Training. Anyway, I can see perfectly fine. Now then, I'll take care of her while you guys can go all out with the others." Haruto said rushing towards Kisara who prepared herself and attacked him with a swift roundhouse kick where Haruto stepped back noticing that it was feign.

Kisara clicks her tongue and spins around and sends flurry of kicks that Haruto easily dodges without even using his eyes! This made her frustrated that he was underestimating her and wasn't even trying!

'She improved quite a bit even though it's only been a couple of days. But her kicks held too much emotion.' Haruto thought it was easy to see through her attack and noticed that it was better than before but at the same time was focused on power rather than speed.

"Tsk!! Stop playing with me!? I know you're as strong as Hermit and could have ended this fight but why!? Is it because I'm a woman!?" Kisara is frustrated that Haruto had been underestimating her since the beginning. She knew her chances of winning were slimmed but couldn't give up simply because she's afraid and wanted to prove herself.

"Bruh? The Fuck I care about the crap!? Even if you're a man I would still not take you seriously cause if I did then I don't know what will happen to you!" Haruto is annoyed that she thinks that he underestimates her when in truth he's just too strong for her.

"Then take me seriously!!" Kisara said, rushing towards Haruto who stood still and received a powerful back kick where the sound was like a gunshot. She gave everything in the attack and was astonished when Haruto didn't even block and simply took the attack straight to the face.

"Tsk. Don't think I'm done!" She said and prepared to attack only for her to receive their consecutive blows to the body in a flash. Kisara couldn't understand how it was possible for her to receive an attack without seeing him move.

[ Karate - Seiken! ]

Kisara squirmed in agony and was about to fall but gritted her teeth managing to stand but was struggling and panting heavily as she looked at Haruto.

"H-How did…you." Kisara was confused as to what had happened and Haruto crossed his arms.

"You have several Blindspots that I exploited." Haruto answered looking at her burning fighting spirit that had yet given up despite being in the state she was in, reminding him of how he was like her in the beginning.

"And I understand what you're doing and will take you a bit more seriously so stand up." Haruto said and Kisara gritted her teeth knowing that she already lost but refused to give up and was smiling.

"Finally, I'll show that I am someone capable of fighting the likes of you." She said watching as Haruto removed his blindfolds where Kisara felt her skin crawl and experienced the same feeling when she's around Odin.

"W-What happened to your eyes!?" Kisara saw the inverted red pupil eyes that were unlike anything she had seen before.

"The result of my training. Now, get ready." Haruto vanished from his spot and Kisara barely saw him receiving an attack straight to her face stunning her for a moment and gritting her teeth then searching for Haruto where she barely kept up where he kept on her blindspot.

'Dammit! He's too fast! How can someone move this vast!? Is he even human!?' Kisara struggled to keep up but refused to fall, getting injured everywhere and couldn't even block or parry but she concentrated trying to find where he might be.

"There!" Kisara spun her body and managed to anticipate Haruto's movement where he was surprised then smiled. He could see that she had grown quite a bit after the fight.

"Impressive. But this is the end." Haruto said Karate chopped her neck instantly, knocking her out. Kisara didn't stand a chance in the first place but he gave her the fight she wanted. Before she could fall was laid down knowing that he didn't hurt to have any permanent damage.

"If you can hear this then I hope you'll be able to grow stronger. A woman like you is what I like. Honest and strong." Haruto said, wearing his blindfold, turning to see Takeda and Ukita finishing up where they left some consciousness and allowed them to take Kisara back with them.

=============

After the play ended everybody gave a standing ovation for the actors in the play, Miu was smiling jubilantly while standing on the stage and thanking the audience along with the other members of the play.

"You were superb Miu." Akisame said

"Thank you very much everyone for coming but what really brought my acting was Tanimoto's lead." Miu said

"Huh!? You know all these people, Miu." Tanimoto asked as he came towards them.

"Ah yes they are my relatives and those are Haruto's little sister ans Kenichi's parents." Miu said, introducing Tanimoto to them.

"Oh hello nice to meet you all" Tanimoto said

"Nice to meet you too! I really liked your acting." Saori said

"Thank you." Tanimoto replied

"Yes! your acting was good even though you do it only half heartedly there are still sometimes where you really like acting Shichibukai I don't know why" Akisame said

"Huh!!" exclaimed Tanimoto but before he could give a reply to Akisame few of his Fangirls came to give him flowers.

"Tanimoto! please accept this" one of the girls said as they presented the flowers to him.

"Wow thanks! Cosmos? my sister really likes these flowers." Tanimoto said as he accepted the flowers.

"We should leave now" Akisame said as he bade farewell with Kenichi's family and they left towards their home. After receiving the flowers Tanimoto didn't stay there for much time as he hurriedly went towards the hospital where his sister was admitted.

Natsu's life had never been kind. He and his sister were orphans before being adopted by a rich businessman (Tanimoto was the man's family name). The businessman later married a female doctor who then became his stepmother. His sister who was sick from a disease and had once told him with the words "don't lose."

These words would make him fight for his life and refuse to ever lose to anyone. The businessman died of unknown causes, and his wife was put under arrest as the primary suspect of his murder, fostering a distrust in doctors in the young Natsu.

Natsu inherited the company, but unfortunately was not able to manage much of it, leaving it to the corrupt workers who worked under him and losing a vast amount of his fortune in the process. When the corrupt men tried to kill him, someone saved him, leaving him in debt to the master and influencing him into joining Ragnarok as a result.

Natsu received some tips from his savior as a means of becoming strong enough to begin his own training, and eventually left to find a master of his own to learn from. Eventually his search would lead him to Sōgetsu Ma, who made the deal of agreeing to teach Natsu in return for a tuition fee of various alcohol and expensive wine. His training was very strenuous and according to Natsu, he was basically bullied during most of the training. The only thing that kept him going was his sister and promise to be strong for her.

"Hello Kaede." Tanimoto said as he entered her room in the hospital.

"Brother you are here, come tell me how was your play." Kaede asked

"It was good, here take these flowers I received after my play. I have also brought a copy of the whole play so we can watch it sometime" Natsu said.

"why someday!? why not now!?" Kaede asked.

"Because today is the medication day so I won't be able to stay here with you hence we will see it tomorrow if you want." Natsu said

"Ok" Kaede said sadly.

"Now, since you are going under medication in an hour, I will let you take rest and will meet you Tomorrow, Ok." Natsu said

"Ok, bye bye Brother." Kaede said

After coming out of the hospital he changed his dress and wore the dress of Hermit the 6th fist of Ragnarok.

"Now let's go and deal with that Haruto." said Natsu as he started walking in some direction after receiving a call.

After everyone left on their own, Haruto was walking with Miu and Lala as they talked while walking towards their homes. Kenichi had gone home with his family since he decided to spend the night with them as a break from all the training and Rito along with Mikan did the same. Haruto told her what happened and Miu was grateful.

"Now that I think about it, there's been something I've wanted to ask for quite some time now." Miu said while Haruto raised an eyebrow.

"You really like badges, don't you?" She said pointing at the Yin Yang badge that suddenly triggered a memory from Haruto that had been forgotten and instantly clicked in his head. The story was supposed to have Kenichi the one to have it but shifted to Haruto. However, Kenichi still has to fight his former childhood friend who is currently the leader of Ragnarok.

'Ryuto-chan…' Haruto muttered the name of the person who had begun walking the path filled with pain and sorrow. However, his thought shifted towards Miu who saw Haruto frowned then suddenly had her cheek squished by him.

"What are you doing, Haruto?" Lala was surprised by his action while Miu was a bit confused.

"Why are you pinching my cheek??" Miu asked while Haruto chuckled while leaving home.

"I suddenly remembered that I met you before. Do you still have the cat badge?" Haruto liked cats and normally adopted one but often decided to bring it to a shelter instead since one would result in a dozen. Miu's eyes widened looking at Haruto also regaining the memory of the time when he gave the cat pin.

"Y-You're that boy from before!" Miu said remembering when he was there stopping two boys from fighting. As they were talking to each other while walking on the footover bridge they sensed something. Seeing the person attacking them they were easily able to identify the preparator from his gloves which were black in color and handwritten 6 on it in roman numbers (VI).
