Door opens
"Good morning Yon!" Chouji was planning to wake up his grandchild like he normally do. However today he found that Yon was already awake when he went inside his room. He instead greeted him.
"Good morning ji san"
[Note: grandfather=Ojichan but I used Ji san since that's what I normally hear in animes. If I find it not to taste then I'll change it back to grandpa.]
"Let's eat our breakfast. We need to prepare afterwards since we're moving today!"
"Okay!"
After eating their breakfast Yon took a bath while Chouji prepared all of their things with a help of workers from a moving company. Being a filipino in his last life, Yon was amazed on the bathroom and used the memory from the original soul on how to wash himself up. It was so different that he started to wonder if what he was doing his whole life was wrong.
[note: To an ordinary filipino, a shower is already a huge privilege. A bath tub is definitely treated as a high class privilege]
After preparing, He and his grandfather went ahead riding a cab while behind them was the moving truck that was responsible for carrying their things. Once they were able to arrive at their new house Yon was so excited he immediately went out the cab to check it out. Why?
Because Yon never experienced moving home. The place he was born was also the place where he grew up. His mother delivered him inside their house with the help of a local midwife. Since the land was owned by his parents, there was no point in moving to a new location.
So moving home is a new experience for Yon. Even though he was already 21 years old in Soul. His mind still acted like that of a normal 7 years old. His grandfather was happy enough to see him excitedly rush inside the new house. He even gave the key to Yon and asked him to check it out while he wait for the truck responsible for their things.
Yon immediately fell in love with the place. He found a clearing at the back where there's an open field. 'I can practice my moves here when Grandpa is not around.'
He found himself inside the room in the 2nd floor. 'this is definitely gonna be my room!' he went over to the window and his smile was suddenly stuck.
His room was in the second floor but it was located in top left corner if once was observing the house from the front view. Therefore the window he was looking through at was in front of the house. And the house they were facing was so familiar to him he could almost guess it but the signboard on the house sealed the deal as it read "Kurosaki Clinic".
Yon's mouth was wide open upon reading the sign board. 'this can't be real right?' He opened the window to have a clear view and the sign board still reads Kurosaki Clinic. He then went outside and asked his grandfather who was busy instructing the workers carrying their things.
"Jisan, Jisan! What does that sign board say?" Yon asked while pulling his grandfather's clothes.
Chouji who could not bear to be angry with his grandchild looked towards the direction Yon was pointing. "It says Kurosaki Clinic. Why do you ask Yon?"
"Nothing grandpa. I just wanted to know."
"Well, why don't you play around the open field at the back of the house while I move our things inside?"
"Sure! Hehe" Yon rushed inside the house and Chouji was so satisfied looking at him.
The open field at the back of the house was surrounded with concrete walls so no one would be able to see Yon train unless someone was inside the house and exited the back door. He closed the door and started training his body to try and consolidate his foundation especially since he just experience 4 consecutive breakthrough in a single day.
He didn't went all out to avoid attracting hollows or pluses in the area. He used/controlled just enough spirit energy for training making sure none was wasted that would attract attention. His training wasn't anything special since he doesn't know any fighting techniques. All he could do was move in high speeds around the field and sometimes stop suddenly.
According to Aomine from Kuroko's Basketball. Agility is how easily one moves fast with their body from zero to max and max to zero. Using that analogy, Yon was training that way until his grandpa called him.
"Yon get inside. Let's have our lunch." The duo then started eating and Yon could no longer see any workers. That must have meant that they were done moving.
"You're done moving our things already? That's fast Jisan."
"Don't underestimate your jisan. Although I'm nearing my middle age, I'm still as strong as a horse."
"I always thought you were already middle aged Jisan?" An imaginary arrow carrying the word Yon said went through Chouji's body as blood escaped his mouth. 'My grandson is merciless!' Chouji screamed inside his mind.
"I'm still 47 years old you know."
"But I heard our teacher said that ages 40 - 60 years old are considered middle age." And another arrow was added to Chouji bleeding heart. 'I was wrong, He's a demon!'
"It's okay Jisan. It doesn't matter what's the truth, what matters is how you feel and I support you!" Although Yon's intention was to cheer up his grandfather. 'I don't if I should be happy or sad about what you just said grandson'
"Jisan, Can you teach me Kendo?" Chouji's attention was piqued.
"Sure but, Can you tell me why do you suddenly want to learn?"
"Well, I want to be strong like you."
"Why do you want to be strong?" Chouji asked again with curiosity. 'for what will you use your strength for my sweet grandchild?'
"To protect what's important to me. You are important to me." Upon hearing Yon's words. Chouji could hear the angels humming from the heavens. 'Oh my! My grandson has grown! but, let's test him for a bit'
"You say you will protect me? Is that right?" Chouji asked sarcastically.
"It's okay if you won't teach me. I'll go and ask someone else tommorow." When Chouji heard this, he sounded like someone who choked. He immediately said
"No, no, no, no, no. I'll teach you! There's no need to seek someone else!"
"Are you sure?" Yon asked innocently with a very sweet smile a 7 years old kid could produce.
"Yes ofcourse. In fact, I will teach you for one year alone before I join you in with the others."
"Others? Do you mean your students?"
"Yes your correct! The school where I teach Kendo and Physical Education is here Karakura High School."
"But I'm still in Elementary Jisan. I still need to go through middle school and besides that I have 4 more years to finish in elementary."
"Hahahaha. I don't mean the High school studets but the students with the same age as you who enrolled in the dojo I applied to."
"Oh, I got it. So when do we start?" excited by the prospect of training Kendo. He will finally have a way to fully consolidate his foundation.
"We will start tomorrow right away. We will focus first with kiai and Kendo footwork. As for wielding a shinai, we will do that on monday once I returned from work So I can bring the shinai from the dojo."
"Yosh! I will definitely do my best Jisan!"
"Good child. Yon, I am glad that you have finally moved on."
"Hehehe, I still have you Jisan. So thank you for always being there for me. I will definitely protect you." Yon said to Chouji as he finished his dinner. Leaving the old man motionless and about to burst into tears but he held it back with all that he can.
Yon could see through him. Being a 4th order Houtian realm cultivator provides him with great sense no normal human can. Although his cultivation isn't yet comparable to that of a shinigami. Compared to a normal human, he's already far stronger than them especially on sensing details.
"Thanks for the food!" Yon left the dining table and went to his room upstairs. As expected his room was indeed the one he went to awhile ago. He tried to look at the Kurosaki household with a determined face. "I will definitely become an Immortal!"
Meanwhile down below, a sobbing Chouji could be heard talking to himself.
"Did you hear that daughter? Son in law? Your Son said he will protect me. He's become so strong now. So you both can rest easy. I will definitely teach him to be stronger, no scratch that. I will definitely teach him to be the strongest to that I can be rest assured as well before I leave him alone in this world." There was no one around but Chouji kept on talking while tears kept escaping from his eyes.
2 days ago before Yon transmigrated, chouji kept on blaming himself and ask forgiveness from his daughter and son in law saying that he's failing on raising up their son. That it was his fault for being an incompetent grandfather. This has been a heavy burden to him. But seeing Yon's change especially awhile ago when Yon asked to learn Kendo, all that burden seems to have been lifted away from his shoulders. His grandson saying thank you for always being there sealed the deal.
Yon was not aware of what his grandfather was doing below since he was doing something else in his room. He refrained himself from cultivating to avoid attracting attention the same way he did earlier or last night.
Instead he kept on coming up with Ideas on how to use his reiryoku in a fight. He can't possibly keep on dodging or run away and hide all the time when an enemy shows. What if there were no shinigami around. What will he do?
With that thought in mind he kept thinking on how to manipulate spirit energy since he was very much proficient in it now. And the result? The same way he thought of the names for his abilities. YuYu Hakusho aka Ghost Fighter back in his past life's country answered his current dilemma.
Yon used his spirit sense to check if there was anyone outside. It was currently 1 in the afternoon but surprisingly no one was around walking outside, everyone's inside their houses. Even the kurosaki household was closed after he looked through his window. " It's currently Saturday so they might have gone to a vacation or something." He said after sensing no one was home.
Knock knock knock
"Yon, I'll be going out for a bit to deal with your transfer to Karakura Elementary school since their still open on Saturdays. It's okay not to wait for me if you became hungry later on, there's plenty of food in the fridge. I'll be home in the late since I'll teaching at that dojo today for overtime."
"Got it Jisan. Be careful and come back home safely."
"Ittekimasu" Chouji replied with a bright smile even though he didn't go inside, he was still happy to hear his grandson.
And so after making sure his grandfather was really gone using his spirit sense he began to move out.
"While the cat is away the mouse shall play." Yon said to himself as he used his Geppo and Zone after opening his window. Once he was on top of the rooftop he began to look around. He could see a hill up ahead towards his right side that wasn't reached by his spirit sense. With his destination set, Yon moved in high altitude to avoid being spotted by anyone.
