The scene opens at a Live House. A group of youths are practicing their instruments. During the intermission of the song, the tallest man's guitar solo comes to a climax. Then suddenly, he abruptly stops his guitar. Yashiro Stop, stop. Not again, one of the band members whispered, and some of them walk off the stage. After watching them walk out the door, a boy fixes his eyes on Yashiro. Chris I thought that was pretty good. But I guess YOU didn't like it... Argh! A girl walks up from behind, and scrunches Chris' soft hair. Shermie Something's missing. Right, leader? Without answering to Shermie's sarcastic question, Yashiro sits heavily on the counter. Chris I don't understand what's missing. That was decent. Shermie If you only consider the song, yes. But I don't that's what is bothering him. Chris Something else? Shermie Don't you remember? You know, a couple of days ago... Chris A couple of days ago? Shermie About the other Live House... Chris Ah, that they cancelled our performance? Shermie Yeah. He's acting pretty strangely since that. I've heard that it's possible that when similar-style bands come to book for a date close to each other, the place'll take the one that's more well known. But being ousted out by the same band so often as this? This is strange. Chris Uh, what was his name? That... Shermie Yeah, I forgot the name too, the one with the red hair... Chris Uh-huh, something like that. But we don't have two months 'til our Live Concert. Shermie Yes, you're right. Sitting on the counter next to Yashiro, who's staring into space, Shermie turns on the TV. A commercial for the King of Fighters Tournament comes to the screen. Shermie K.O.F? King of Fighters... Shifting his attention to the TV, Yashiro looks up. Yashiro What's this? Shermie I have no clue. Hey, what's this? Shermie passes the question to Chris, who is now scarffing down some ice cream. Without looking up at the two, Chris continues at the ice cream. Chris I heard it's a Martial Arts tournament. They had the preliminary rounds on last week. Yashiro So, can anyone enter this Martial Arts tournament? Chris I guess whoever is confident enough can... Yashiro Really... The introduction to each of the entering fighters begin. Kusanagi Kyo, and then a young man with red hair appears on the screen. Shermie ...Hey, Chris! Chris approaches the counter with his pint of ice cream. Chris Ah, it's him! Heh, he's entering the tournament, too. Shermie I wonder if it's really him? Chris I guess so. There's not that many of one of these. Glaring at the TV, Yashiro bites his finger nail. Yashiro So there's that bastard! Shermie Guess he's more than just a band member. Really, you can't judge a person by his looks! Yashiro ...Let's enter this. ChrisShermie Huh? Yashiro Well, I thought we could enter. Shermie Enter? THIS? Yashiro Sure, it sound... fun. Let's enter this tournament. Shermie Are you serious? With a confused expression, Shermie stared at Yashiro. Yashiro Dead serious. I'm gonna give back all the humiliation we've experienced to him at the tournament. Realizing what's on his mind, Shermie's confused face is now caked with an enlightened smile. Shermie This... might actually be fun. Chris Yeah, but the preliminaries are over now. We can't. That's right, Shermie thinks as she shrugs. Staring hard at the monitor, Yashiro slowly speaks. Yashiro I have a plan. Again confused, Shermie looks at Chris for an explaination. Chris shrugs with no answer to her. The story moves to the Slums of America. Yashiro is facing a man in an alleyway, towered by brick walls. It seems to have been quite a while since this brawl began, but contrary to Yashiro, who is standing casually, the man has fallen to his knees. Behind them, Shermie and Chris lean on the walls, watching them. Chris So how'd it go? Shermie He was kind of scary looking, but... it went pretty good. But who would think of fighting against a seed-team to get the invitations, anyway? Chris Once he says it, there's no way for us to talk him out, you know. Shermie I can't believe him! Chris But, you though it would be fun, too. Didn't you, Shermie? Shermie You talk like you know what you're talking about, kid. ...They're almost done. The man finally stands up. Yashiro stares calmly at him. Yashiro You've had enough... I'll count to 3. Leave your invitation and get out of here. Man ...why you... Yashiro One. Glancing at each other, Chris and Shermie starts giggling. Yashiro Two. Unfolding his arms from his chest, Yashiro stares down at the man with chilling eyes. The man cringes. Man (Come on! I still have a trick up my sleeve...) Yashiro Three! Watching Yashiro dashing towards him, the man moves into his special technique gesture. Man I got you now! Hellbou... what!? Yashiro was already only a couple of feet away from the man. With a crooked smile, he dove into the the man's chest. The world seemed to spin around him as Yashiro flung the man high with one hand, efortlessly. Yashiro I can't believe you were actually entering that tournament with pathetic techniques like that. I guess that was literally luck. Man Who the hell... are you!? Yashiro Nanakase Style Bushinkan Karate, Nanakase Yashiro. It's not gonna be Kusanagi or Bogard or Kyokugen-Style that's gonna prove true strength at this year's King of Fighters. Nanakase Yashiro, it's gonna be me. Man Nanakase... Yashi... ro... The man is tossed into the air. He doesn't seem he can get up. Slowly picking up the KOF invitation on the ground, Yashiro turns to Chris and Shermie. Yashiro When did you come? Shermie A minute ago. But you really do thing the hard way, don't you. I can't believe we're doing this! Yashiro You know me. Shermie But why America? We could've done this in Japan, you know? Yashiro If I'm gonna pulverize him anyway, I though I should do in with style. Internationally. The reason I chose this block is simply because the fighters here were weak to diserve the invitation. That's all. By the way, how'd you two do? The two pulled out the KOF invitations from their pockets and waved it at him. Chris Now we have all 3. Yashiro smiled, and started to walk out of the alley. Chris follows. Shermie Hey! Yashiro ? Shermie Is that Nanakase Style Bushinkan Karate stuff true? Yashiro winked and stuck his tongue out at her. Yashiro It's a lie! Shermie ...! All Shermie could do was shiver her shoulders, trying to kill her laughter. |
