Kenichi was standing infront of the gate of Ryozanpaku, he decided to return home the next day since it was already quite late and he didn't wanted to disturb them.
Kenichi pushed open the door and shouted "I am back!"
*woosh woosh woosh woosh* came noises as one after another the Ryozanpaku masters appeared in front of Kenichi.
"Kenichi is back!!" Apachai said.
"You are back!" Akisame said.
"Good good I knew you would come back" Sakaki said.
"Really! Didn't you said that we should raid some YAMI bases and find out where they are keeping Kenichi so that we ourselves can go and save him!?" Kensei said.
Shigure smilingly looked at Kenichi and said "Welcome back!"
Kenichi smiled Back to Shigure and said "I am back!"
"Kenichi!!" shouted Miu and Renka as they came running towards him and jumped at him wrapping their hands around him.
Kenichi's hand wrapped around the two girls making sure that he doesn't fall to the ground with them.
"Hey! It's alright I am fine! There is nothing to worry about" Kenichi said the the two girls but they weren't listening at all as they didn't let go of him.
*Cough cough* the elder coughed loudly while his ki was getting harder for him to control.
After a little a more the girls let him go and Kenichi turned back to his master's who were waiting there as to know what happened with him.
"Let's go inside and I will tell everyone what happened!" Kenichi said as everyone accepted the idea and walked inside.
When they entered the dojo, Miu went inside the kitchen to make tea for everyone along with Renka.
After the tea was served, Kenichi started the story "So here what happened when I reached Hotel Deluna!....."
Just as he explained the part where he was thrown out of the building due to explosion and met Ogata and YOMI! Sakaki stopped him.
"Wait a minute! You are saying you were there when the blast happened and so was Ogata!? And he took you with him while the building was still exploding" Sakaki asked.
"He must have felt us there and took Kenichi with him before we could find him!" Kensei added.
"So you guys already reached bear the hotel at the time of blasts!?" asked Kenichi.
"Yes! And when we were trying to find you at that time we saw Arata Nakamura lying on the ground unconscious! Since he was our only lead to you we brought him back and Akisame and Kensei patched him up but he still hasn't regained his consciousness. Looks like you didn't held back at all" Sakaki stated.
"There was no way I was gonna let him wash away without getting back at him." Kenichi retorted
"It's alright you let him live is proof enough that you could still control yourself Kenichi! But I want to know what happened after you were taken by Ogata" asked Akisame
"Well I opened my eyes and found myself in a room and after looking around I found that I was in a ship and then....." Kenichi started explaining how he escaped.
"Hahahahahah....you! you! played with them!" Sakaki laughed heartily.
"I didn't know that they would let you go so easily" Kensei stated.
"Well they didn't knew that I already reached master class nor have I showed my strength against any of their disciple when I ran from them so for them I am at most an Expert class, hence they didn't moved against me" Kenichi stated.
"True but now they will training with more vigor after losing to you, so maybe we should up your training as well! We would not want to lose that advantage now do we" Akisame said with a smile.
Kenichi shivered after seeing that smile of Akisame but it was not like he could do anything about it so he just nodded his head in acceptance.
After talking a little more with the masters Kenichi went back to his room but he couldn't sleep as he continuesly was thinking about his talk with the Reincarnation Goddess.
*knock knock* Someone knocked at Kenichi's window and when he looked out of his window he saw Miu and Renka waving at him.
Looking at them Kenichi jumped out of the window and climbed up to the rooftop where he saw not only Miu and Renka but Saeko and Shigure as well.
"Saeko!! How come you are here!?" asked Kenichi in surprise.
"The moment you came back Miu called me told me to come off I wanted to meet you and obviously couldn't wait for the night so I came!" replied Saeko
Kenichi smiled and hugged Saeko tightly when he taught how much scared the girls would have been when they got to know what happened to him, Saeko smiled and she hugged him back.
Shigure who was standing on the side didn't said anything while Kenichi was hugging Shigure but he could see in her eyes that she wanted a hug as well.
After letting go of Saeko, Kenichi walked towards Shigure hugged him tightly as he said "Thank you for saving my mother"
Shigure blushed as Kenichi hugged her butt after seeing Saeko's reaction she knew what to do and hugged him back and said "It was fine.... I wanted to do it."
Only after a minute or 2 did the two seperated from each other.
"Kenichi tomorrow in the morning you have to go home and meet mom, she has been worried about you" Miu stated.
"Yes! Mother asked if there was anything to worry about and only Shigure or Saeko could calm her down" Renka said.
"It was.... nothing!" Shigure said.
"Ok! but what is this about Mom and Mother what did I miss" Kenichi asked.
"Mother Saori forced these two to call her either Mom or Mother of they want to take there relationship further with you. Making it sound like practice for future purpose" Saeko said.
"Oh! Then does that mean Shigure as well..."
