Chapter 6: The One I Met

(The two finally made it to a pub. Kaaru looks around as he was all puzzled. He saw people drinking alcohol and some lighting up their cig as there was a background music played)

KAARU: What are we doing here?

YUUTO: To see someone.

KAARU: Who?

YUUTO: (He shows him the person. The person was drinking a glass of alcohol) Him.

KAARU: Who is he?

YUUTO: Someone you think you can rely on. (He left to see him)

KAARU: Ohh... Is he a bad guy?

YUUTO: No. Didn't you hear me say rely on.

KAARU: Maybe rely on makes you think you think he's not but you are just saying he is...

YUUTO: Sometimes I don't just know what you are saying. (They met him. He was seem playing a chess alone) Hey Shin.

SHIN: Shh. (He continues to play moving his pawn)

KAARU: (Astonished and whispers to Yuuto) What is he doing?

YUUTO: I think he is focusing. He stays silent to observed the weak spot of his opponents. He thinks silence is the key to victory.

KAARU: (Looks at him surprised)

(Shin pushes the opponent's king and breathes in and out)

SHIN: Bring me some more shit. Would you? (He tells the waiter)

YUUTO: Shin.

SHIN: Yuuto. So nice to see you again.

YUUTO: Yeah. I just remembered you and I stopped by.

SHIN: I see. (The waiter pours his alcohol into his glass) But you didn't stopped by since last month.

YUUTO: You know school has been in my head. And I haven't been looking for the right time.

SHIN: I know it's better to be there rather than here to learn news things you want to be in life. Achieving a certain goal is what I mean. Looking for a target in certain areas or subject you don't understand.

YUUTO: Yeah.

SHIN: You came here for a drink cuz this drink ain't for children.

YUUTO: No. That's what I came here for?

SHIN: So why are you here? (Drinks from the cup)

YUUTO: It's about the assassins.

SHIN: (Pause his drinking and drops it on the table) What.

KAARU: (Puzzled and begins to thought) I don't understand. He also know them.

SHIN: How do you get to know them?

YUUTO: We have encountered them like two times now.

SHIN: Then there must be a reason why. (Looks at Kaaru) You?

KAARU: Well I don't know exactly, but one of them tried to shoot me and he saved me (points Yuuto) and he left immediately after seeing my face.

SHIN: Really.

KAARU: Yes. Is it that really bad?

SHIN: You can't say that's good. They can find you. But if even they try looking for you in this big city, they will have to call for backup.

KAARU: Why are they looking for me?

SHIN: Not only you but manipulators.

KAARU: (Astonished) What.

SHIN: They want them to be no more in this city.

KAARU: Are they demanding justice?

SHIN: I can't say but they go round killing them when the killers are also manipulators.

KAARU: Man, how are we going to survive?

YUUTO: That's why we met him so that he can train you.

SHIN: You mean he's starting to have the mania?

YUUTO: Yes.

SHIN: There's still time why not tomorrow after school.

KAARU: Really! So you mean you will start training me?

SHIN: Yes, for the sake of your mania. You need some daily practices.

KAARU: Well that will be great... But that's something I'll like to ask.

SHIN: And what's it?

KAARU: How long will be training be?

SHIN: To novices, it will take a training of 10-20 hours.

KAARU: (Shocked) Really?

SHIN: Yes. Really.

YUUTO: Kaaru we better go (Drags his shirt) He will see you tomorrow.

SHIN: Alright. Meet me at Route three.

KAARU: Okay. Well it's nice meeting you. (They both left) Hey Yuuto. Would you leave my shirt. My aunty brought me that on my last birthday. (Yuuto throws him and he landed on an empty cartons) Ow! ow! ow! My back (as he touches his back)

YUUTO: Hey, you know you gotta be strong tomorrow?

KAARU: Yes. But why did you throw me like that?

YUUTO: To see if you are ready.

KAARU: (He stops touching his back with surprise) Huh? Ready.

YUUTO: Nevermind (leaves and Kaaru follows him)

KAARU: Hey Yuuto seriously Is that even possible for a regular exercise?

YUUTO: You mean your daily training? Yes, maybe you are just little who doesn't do anything.

KAARU: I'm only seventeen and I've done something like selling books, cooking and morning exercise like jogging.

YUUTO: Well good for you. Have you lifted up a barbell? Looks like you haven't.

KAARU: Wait a second. You do that?

YUUTO: Almost everyday. My uncle own a gym and I go there every saturday if I feel like... (Kaaru punches his stomach very hard) Ouch! What was that for?

KAARU: To see if you are ready.

YUUTO: Ready for what?

KAARU: If you are strong, don't you have some abs?

YUUTO: I'm working on that.

KAARU: (He touches his chin) Oh no, that's not good.

YUUTO: For what?

KAARU: Most ladies go for guys with six packs than the muscles. It will be difficult for them to suspect since you are that kind of a muscles man. You know what I mean.

YUUTO: Shut up, I don't care if I was suspected or not and by the way, don't you ever call me muscles man.

KAARU: No. You gave me dumbass as my nickname and it doesn't fit. Muscles man is an exceptional name.

YUUTO: (Sighed) What an hassle. You are a real drag Kaaru.

KAARU: You know what. I should better get going and be thinking on what I should be focusing on. (He leaves)

YUUTO: Oh don't forget for tomorrow's training. I hope you will experience another back pain or body pain I should say. (Kaaru didn't answer him, he continues to leave and Yuuto sighed and touches his head) Looks like I'm going to start my sleep with an headache (He left)
