Namimori... we are big nor small!

Monday, ugh. I hate Mondays more than anything else. Mondays are the days where you just want to point a gun at your head and blam yourself. It is... boring on mondays. Rarely anything interesting happens unless you are watching Nickelodeon. Well, something might be changing for our protagonist. The sounds of an alarm clock interrupted the sleep of Soichiro, who was desperately trying to stop it. Irritated enough by the fact he was woken up, he punched his alarm clock. It stopped working and he gave a tired laugh. Man, he was really out of his zone with all this mafia business. Its just been a bombshell after another, especially with Renovatio almost killing Yoruichi. This is why you do not pick-pocket hitmen. They will kill you immediately for attempting it. Well, that's enough mafia for him. He was going to have a normal, ordinary, and relaxing day at school. Maybe Arisa Aoi will talk to him... nah, what is he thinking? She'd never speak to him, much less be seen with a loser like him. He truly is the biggest loser of Namimori. Ahh, he should just hurry up and die. He isn't making it very far in school, even in life.

A loud, obnoxious voice filled his room and he sat up with an upset facial expression. Renovatio arrived to walk his student to school, and encouraged him to get dressed, because he had a feeling something big was going to happen. "NO! I refuse to get up if it includes something with the mafia!", he told his tutor with a fierce look on his face. Renovatio grinned devilishly and forced him into his school uniform, made him eat breakfast, and walk to school. The hitman was just too strong for Soichiro. As they walked to school, Yoruichi catches up to them and begins to chat with the two. "So Boss, you know anyone that we should recruit into the family?" Yoruichi asked of his boss, who shook his head at such a question. It felt a little weird having a 'right hand' but as long as he was protected, he was fine with it. "No, I can't drag any one into the mafia. None of the people here would be able to handle the stress it gives." He said to his companions. Renovatio held back a chuckle from his response. He found it funny that someone who doesn't want anything to do with the mafia says "they wouldn't be able to handle it". For some strange reason... Renovatio found it funny. "Well, don't worry about it. Chi-Chi will be fine!", Renovatio said before disappearing into the shadows. Yoruichi was thrown off by the sudden loss of Renovatio, and concluded that he was a wizard from Italy. Soichiro, once again, face palmed at himself and stepped into school grounds. Some of the students turned to look at him and he gave them shy waves. Yoruichi was taking this as an opportunity to give the boss some spotlight. "If anyone wishes to fight the boss, you can come to me and sign up! If you best him in a fight, we'll reward you 10 grand!", the right hand of Giove XII shouted to the entire school. Soichiro glared at Yoruichi, who had paid no mind to him, and rushed off to his class.

One of the disciplinary committee heard of the so-called "tournament" and held a small smile on their face. This piqued their interests more than what you can count. "I have a tournament to enter, huh?" They said to themselves before walking off into the hallways. Their very footsteps shook fear into the hearts of passing students, their very presence in a room was enough to scare them. We have a new and fearsome challenger for you, Soichiro. Meanwhile, he was busy hiding on the roof of the school building from students attempting to fight him. "Why?! Why me, god!? I didn't ask for any of this!", he cried out to the sky and got nothing but a breeze of wind passing by. Guess it meant that even the almighty lord would not save him from getting beaten. He was truly an S-Rank loser. Yoruichi found him on the roof and wrapped an arm around his neck, and rubbing his fist on his hair. "Boss, we got over 30 people wanting to fight you!! You sure are lucky to fight these guys!", he laughed while letting go of Soichiro. He fell flat onto the ground and started coughing from his previous 'attack'. He glared at Yoruichi and pointed a finger at him, "I never asked for any of this! Why can't you fight them!?". He was practically begging for Yoruichi to take his place but it led to no victory. He had to fight these guys, even if he didn't want to, and win. How would he win? He didn't know. He was a newbie when it came down to fighting people. In fact, he loathed fighting and basically ran away from his battles.

Renovatio watched the two and laughed. They were getting along just great; They could be seen as brothers. "Good... connect with your brothers. Once you ensure an loving brotherhood, they will follow you until the end of the earth.", he thought. Renovatio seems to have something planned. Hopefully for his student's sake, it is not something over the top of stupid. Renovatio was the type to pull dangerous pranks on Soichiro and play it off as if they were harmless toys. Soichiro and Yoruichi headed back to class to go grab their lunches. This gave Renovatio enough time to prepare a sort of "test" for the two. He stepped out of his hiding spot and looked around to see a student, one from the disciplinary committee. "And who might you be?", Renovatio asked before seeing a look full of anger from the kid. He looked to be around the age of 13-14, his black hair had been short enough to not go past his neck. His eyes were crimson whilst his body had been of the average male (slim). He was wearing the school uniform of Namimori Middle School but it appears to be entirely pitch black with the red band that it indicates he was part of the committee. "Nevermind who I am. I should be asking you that question. I saw you snooping around the school, watching that idiot." He said with a ton of hatred at the part of "idiot". Did Soichiro happen to do something to this kid? It didn't seem possible. He was too much of a wimp to ever do something that horrible. Hell, he'd probably die if he did do something like that. No matter. This kid wanted to fight him. He could tell by his stance.

"How about you move on out of my way? You should go and enjoy your lunch. After all, you only get one chance at that." Renovatio said as he had appeared behind the young boy. His eyes opened in surprise at how fast he was. He clearly wasn't human, at least to the kid. However, that had not stopped him from attempting to sweep him off of his feet by simply knocking over his right leg. That hadn't been possible since Renovatio already saw the attack coming and jumped over his foot. He scoffed and muttered "amateur". This enraged the boy and he went for a right hook in the jaw, only for it to be stopped by his fist connecting to a wall. A dent was formed by the punch and his red eyes glanced over at Renovatio, who was eating a bag of chips. "This is getting nowhere. I'm far too fast for a kid like you, but I doubt I'd be able to block a punch like that and not have a broken arm." Renovatio said with a chuckle at the end of his sentence. This would be a compliment from the world's strongest hitman but he doubted the kid knew that. "You're right. I'm no match for you now. But, soon, I'll defeat you. Next time we fight, it shall not be here. I will not destroy school property." He said before turning to walk back to his office. Renovatio smiled at his sudden drive to beat him, and tipped his hat in respect. "Kaname." The boy stated and vanished into the halls of Namimori Middle. "Renovatio."

Renovatio waited in the gym for Soichiro's upcoming tournament. Honestly, he could feel the fear of Soichiro from a few meters away. He was seriously scared of battling 3 people, two who were just push overs. The third had been one of the previously mentioned people that Renovatio had fought. Yoruichi had been watching over his boss and encouraging him that he'd win if he believed in himself. Soichiro had been scared regardless of being comforted by his friend. Arisa had been watching in the crowd and was praying that Soichiro made it out safely. Renovatio noted that she, the living heart and soul of Namimori Middle, had cared for a loser such as him. It was remarkable. Anyways, He had two snipers on stand-by. The purpose of the sniper was to shoot a Deathperation bullet at Soichiro when he is in a jam. The REAL purpose of this sniper was to make sure he was protected from any other rivaling families. He really cared for Soichiro, despite it being his duty to protect him. "Man, let's get this started!" Yoruichi bellowed to the crowd and Soichiro flipped him off when he wasn't looking. "I have the worst luck."

Man, Namimori did have plenty of kids. From what Reno could tell, these kids wanted to see a fun and non-stop fight. The first two opponents had been third-years from an entirely different school. Kouyou? He forgot the name. "How did they find out about this tournament? One of the Namimori Middle boys must have babbled to them about this. I don't blame them for coming, though. 10 Grand IS a lot of money." Renovatio said as he glanced at his Deathperation sniper and gave him a "shh" sound. Was it a signal? Probably.  Welp, let's get this started!

Soichiro walked up to the third years with his teeth chattering in fear. You could tell by how close his legs were to each other that he was scared. The two "alpha" males laughed at him and looked at Yoruichi, "Is this the Soichiro guy? He doesn't look all that tough as you said." One of the two told Yoruichi. If he didn't show it, he was hiding it. They were treating his boss like he was no threat to them! He gritted his teeth and let out a prideful laugh. "Oh, thats the guy! He'll win against the both of you without much trouble!", Yoruichi bellowed at the two boys. Soichiro wanted to shoot his friend with a shotgun for dragging him on this bullshit. And so, the fighting begins. Soichiro frantically ran around, avoiding most of their attacks, and gaining applause from the crowd. They both were getting frustrated with his overwhelming stamina. He was just leagues ahead of them when it comes to not getting tired so easily. Soichiro didn't even notice that they stopped attempting to tackle him and just kept running. Our Shonen Protagonist was just too scared to stop moving. The two boys forfeited the match and cursed Soichiro for making them lose. Hey, its an dog eat dog world! He did what was necessary to live! Now, the third contestant stepped up to the stage and the crowd was shocked by who it was. All but one person was phased by this: Renovatio. 

Renovatio leaned in a bit closer to see if it was really true. Nope, he wasn't wrong. Kaname, the strongest of the disciplinary committee, had joined the tournament. He had a grin on his face once he saw Soichiro and held up his fists to reveal his brass knuckles. "Damn, I should have said weapons weren't allowed. But oh well!", Yoruichi had complete confidence in his boss and Soichiro didn't like that at all. His confidence was getting him into plenty of trouble. His mom would so beat his ass if she found out about this. Anyhow, Kaname got into a boxing stance. His fists being close to his chest with his eyes fixated on his opponent. He then rushed at Soichiro without any warning and threw a left hook for the right side of his face. The punch indeed landed and Soichiro was down on the ground, half-way "dead". The right side of his face was in so much pain that he cried and held up his arms to protect his face.

"So, most of the students here were all talk. This is the guy that beat the leader of the kendo club? I don't believe it." Kaname stated and proceeded to turn around to leave. It was no fun to fight someone weaker than himself, otherwise he'd feel like a big bully. Renovatio, on the other hand, sighed and his Deathperation sniper had his firearm aimed at Soichiro's forehead. "Kaname. You are lucky to fight such a guy." Renovatio said with a smile on his face. His teal blue eyes looked at Soichiro, who had been relieved to not have to fight him. Bam!

A deathperation bullet struck him in the head and his body fell down to the cold ground. Everything of him was drained of color and a gasp escaped one of the girls. "Maybe... if my life depended on it, I could have won..." he thought to himself as color returned to him. He got back up and his clothes were gone except his boxers.

"Reborn!"

He said to no one in particular. A flame appeared on his forehead and his eyes stared ahead at Kaname. The disciplinary committee boy glanced at Soichiro and grinned. "So this is who he really is!", Kaname thought before rushing at Soichiro. He leaped 3 feet into the air and had his leg aimed for Soichiro's head. The young boy glared at him and took the hit... head-on. Kaname held back his surprise and smiled at Soichiro; he was genuinely enjoying the battle. "I HAVE TO WIN!!", Soichiro said before stepping back and letting Kaname reach the ground. He punched the guy straight in his face once he had gained his footing. Kaname's body hit the ground and many of the students watched in anticipation that he was alive. And he was! He got back up and got back into his stance, still ready to fight. Sadly, the cops came and ordered everyone to get down on the ground. Renovatio ordered the second sniper to shoot the cops with tranquilizer darts. He obeyed his masters command and shortly, all the cops were knocked out. Everyone took this as a chance to escape and students of Namimori Middle had flooded the streets. Soichiro was carried home by Yoruichi and they decided not to leave the house for a few days, fuck the test. 

Kaname, sitting on the rooftop of Namimori Middle, held up his fist at the sky and laughed. "Next time, I will not lose to you. Prepare yourself, little bird... I hate losing."

—————————

And there you have it. Soichiro now has a rival that will stop at nothing to beat him! Isn't that fantastic?

Soichiro: NO?? KANAME IS THE STRONGEST GUY IN OUR SCHOOL! I WAS LUCKY TO NOT HAVE DIED FROM HIS PUNCHES!

Yoruichi: And something I was wondering, why did that flame appear on Boss's forehead? Did something trigger his increase of power?

All will be explained in due time. All you need to worry about is getting more members in the family! Kaname would be a good addition!

Both Yoruichi and Soichiro: NO!

We will see you guys later! Stay tuned and share with your friends!
