Selfish

sabozuku swordsman, Nika Ino, a high ranked member: So, this is not a demonstrative training like we announced.

Ken Ryen: hmmm. Gently placed his hands on his chin.

Nika: it is to search for the script that went missing this morning.

Nani: what?

Luka: something's going on. It is not what you said ken, it is another different thing.

Ken: that so?

Nani: why do you talk like a girl, Luka?

Luka grit his teeth together.

Zay: she's annoying, right?

Luka: honestly. She makes me want to look at every woman this way.

Ken: don't.

Luka: what?

Ken: there are different types of women out there, one should not make up their mind over one.

Zay: wow!

Ken: what?

Zay: such a stupid statement. I can't expect less from someone with a way hair.

Ken: huh? What do you mean someone with a wavy hair?

Zay: you know better, stupid.

Ken: do you want me to kill you right now? "Korose". Don't dare me.

Zay: haha! All noise and no action.

Kento Tanika, another sabozuku group swordsman: yeah. Little brats, you heard that. You are being suspected of stealing. And I won't say that's unfair because am aware you stole it, one of you did. Pretty skilled and sly, left no trail. Very smart, am sure that person has a very good training record. So, beware.

Save, another swordsman: don't let us repeat ourselves. When we get to you. Just show us what we want.

Jevi Hitsu: Ohari kata!

Ohari: sir!

Jevi: move closer, student!

Ohari: yes sir!

Jevi: In a sassy way. "show me your hands, ohari".

Ohari: yes, sir!

Ohari Proceed to show jevi his hands.

Jevi: Why does it look so pale?

Ohari: because am pale?

Jevi: wrong.

Ohari: what? I thought this was supposed to be about searching for a script, not questioning my paleness?

Kento: what?

Ohari: chuckled gently.

Nika: do you know that you are dead?

Ohari shivered.

Ohari: oh no, all the other swordsmen are interfering too. I should have kept quite and just played along. Now, I have to face the consequence of speaking for myself. that sucks, but I know that's how the world works.

Ohari: Luka whispered, "ohari, get your toes moving"? Looking at a whispering Luka pathetically confused.

Luka: "Ohari let us help you"?

Ken: yeah. Gently.

Ohari: oh my, what are they saying?

Nani: what are you guys thinking?

Zay: I don't think he can hear you, idiots.

Ohari got harassed by the swordsmen before he was released. He came there sighing out loud and happy he is done.

After searching a few others.

Naki: I don't think we can continue like this!

Kento: it is clear that the thief cannot be a terrible students. They gotta be a strong one to steal with that stealth. So, yeah. We won't waste our time on the lower ranked students rather the higher ranked ones.

Ohari: thank God. Other students won't get harassed like me.

Nani: uh. You are pretty good. You are wishing for others to not experience what you did. After all that, you are still like this. I like you.

Ohari: now am all pink.

Luka: what?

Zay: now that's new.

A smirking ken said: "told you to not make up your mind yet".

Nani: what's that? I am not all cranky, your usual nagging hag, right? There are actually things I praise, men.

Nani looked sassily at the men surrounding her.

Ken: right, Nani.

Zay: really? Things are not stick, I guess.

Ken: say the quoting man.

Zay: sigh. There goes his stupidity again.

Ken: hey, I was not talking to you.

Zay: I guess you were not. My words were also not meant for.....

Nani: enough of that. We are all talking to one another. Let's not fight, things will get out of hand and there's already a problem.

Zay: wow! Nani, really changed!

Ken: It is advisable to stop making up one's mind after just a few interactions.

Zay: it has been more than three years.

Ken: oh, I see.

Nani: there really is a problem, you two.

Ken: huh?

Nani: Luka took the script!

Ohari who finished blushing just a few seconds ago: how did you know?

Zay: are you sure? Oh, Nani. I knew you would not be nice for nothing, don't tell me you are trying to implicate Luka to equalize the sides.

Nani: how stupid.

Ken: well, Nani where is he?

Zay: why are you all looking at me that way? And Luka you should not be looking, didn't you steal the script?!

Ken, Nani and Ohari busted out laughing.

Ken: common now, you can't be mocking Luka. He is already in one trouble don't be cruel to him so he won't be in another.

Luka: no.... I can't take this, please help me.

Looking at luka who is holding is heart crying.

Luka: no it hurts, I can't stand it, I don't want be embarrassed, I don't want to be caught, I didn't know, I didn't expect this.

Nani: so this is where you got the information? I see.

Nani walked away from the squad.

Ken: what, Nani? Are you leaving?

Nani: you are not dumb, are you? Of course not. I don't want to get into trouble, that's why I move like a gentle lady all around. Nania said coldly.

Ken: save me the gentle lady talk. you are beyond aggressive. Even a grown ass man with full power in his hands will still be afraid of calling you by your name. Nania, Luka is a friend.

Nania: oh, ken. I love listening to you but just not today. Luka is a friend, isn't he? And so are you, aren't you? Bye.

Ken: Nania. Come on.

Ohari: she left!

Zay: are you deaf?

Ohari: am not. And am leaving too.

Ken: no way.

Ohari: okay. What should we do?!

Luka: what can we do? Except for me to go and announce myself as the thief and get punished as deserved.

Zay: I think we should go to the lower tier floors.

Ohari: no. I mean why should we, we have better records. We are supposed to aim higher.

Ken: what is this idiot talking about? Luka has the script, we should just try to hide it!

Luka: you can't hide it, ken!

Ken: what? Why?!

Zay: sigh. Man, you are foolish. I can't believe this. Slamming his right hand on his face, zay continued. This men are strong swordsmen who have trained their skills for years, most importantly their sword style. "The senses sword style", they can trace or sense any item on our body. What makes you think you can hide it?

Ken: well, I can.

Zay: Ahh! just shut up man.

Ken: man, get it, I said I can hide it.

Luka: you don't have to fight because of me. I will go out and reveal the truth.

Zay: no, I will go and say I did it.

Ohari: what?

Ken: I won't let you ruin your years of hardwork.

Zay: uh?

We will go with that plan. Go to the lower tiers.

Zay: oh. I see.

Ohari: after years of working hard for our records. You suck!

Ken and Zay: ohari stop shouting.

Ohari: shut up idiots, am about to do something bad now. You owe me Luka. You owe me!

Grabbing and shaking a sobbing Luka.

Luka: yes. Nodding his head gently. No.

Ohari: what was that?

Luka: thank you! thank you everyone. I owe you all. Years with you guys were worth it. You are the best!!

Zay: now stop acting pathetic and clean your tears.

Ken: man, you really surprised me Zay.

Zay: I did that because I wanted to change too like Nani. Nothing else.

Zay walked away.

Ohari: now stand up, Luka. Giving a hand to Luka.

Ken: that's surprising.

Evening after everything.

Zay, ohari and Luka walked out of the training ground.

Ohari: Zay was lying.

Ken: huh?

Ohari: he did that because he had always hold a soft spot for Luka. He would be mean to everyone else except Luka.

Ken: did you know this Luka?

Luka: I noticed it, I just didn't think it was that big.

Nani: hey!

Ohari: it is Nani.

Ken: our dear gentle lady. Nice to see you.

Nani: who are you calling that?

Ken: of course it is not you.

Nani: I decided to join the lower rank on my own volition.

Ken, ohari: what?!!

Luka: why, Nani. Smiling gently.

Nani: you know, I don't want to go without my four years old group of friends.

Ken: wow, we are witnessing unbelievable miracles today.

Nani: miracles are not believable ken.

Ken: yeah. I guess so.

Luka: thanks everyone. Luka busted out crying again.

Nani: stop crying like a baby, I did that for me too. I am kinda selfish you know, I can't leave without you guys.

Ohari: really?

Ken: let's do this.

Ken, ohari, Nani and Luka hugged one another.

Nani: aww, boys.

Ken: stop saying that, you are not our mother.

Nani: come on let's not fight, let's just celebrate.

ken: celebration, it is! Let's run outside to the street to celebrate like we usually do, but this time wilder!

Zay: not without me.

Ken, ohari, Nani and Luka: Zay! Really?

Ken: you are usually very obedient. No bother, let's just go!

Zay: yeah. Another life is waiting for us. Let's go!

Zay, ohari, ken, Nani and Luka hugged one another before jumping up and yelling yeah. They ran out of the training territory to the streets!!!
