Story Name: Unbroken Bond

Writer: Akira

Season: Summer

Location: Karate Clubroom

Tetora:

It’s ya boy Tetora here! Everyone, if ya could all gather ‘round, that’d be great!

This marks the start of the very first Self-Defense Course hosted by none other than the Karate Club! Thanks for joinin’ us today!

Hajime:

Thank you for having us! Eheheh, with you as our instructor, I feel completely at ease, Tetora-kun!

Tomoya:

Yeah. Take it easy on us, okay? The gentler the better; I’m no good with pain.

Tetora:

But pain is all part of martial arts! If ya don’t beat it into yourself, ya won’t learn half as fast!

And while we’re at it, I’m just the boss’ assistant here, so ya don’t gotta treat me like an instructor or somethin’!

Kuro:

Enough with the chit chat, Tetsu. This may not be a serious trainin’ session, but if yer messin’ around half-heartedly, someone’s gonna end up gettin’ hurt.

Nazuna:

Ah, sorry—my kids are to blame for the chit chatting just now. Don’t be so hard on him, Kuro-chin!

Mitsuru:

Hey! Are you sure we don’t have to change first? If we’re gonna be rollin’ around on the floor, then I’d prefer to wear somethin’ easier to move around in!

Kuro:

Ya won’t be rollin’ around anywhere, Tenma. Well, I s’ppose ya might be better off gettin’ changed, but for now just zip it and listen to the instructions.

To be blunt with you lot, the only reason we’re holdin’ this class is ‘cause of orders from the school. Not like we had a real choice in the matter...

There ain’t all that much ya can learn in a single class.

Not like whatever ya pick up in a one-off get together like this’ll be of any use to ya.

If anythin’, what I want ya takin’ away from today’s lesson is: should ya end up gettin’ involved with someone violent or somethin’, you'd best be makin’ a run for it as fast as yer legs can carry ya. Scream for help loud as ya can while yer at it. You’d end up in a far worse situation tryin’ to get into a scuffle with someone if all you’ve got up yer sleeves are a few half-assed karate moves.

You’re all idols, after all. Ain’t no good t’ be goin’ and gettin’ into fights.

Well, I suppose we can pass on a few tips about what t’ do if anyone ever comes after ya with a knife or somethin’. That’s the sorta know-how we’ll be demonstratin’ today.

Mika:

Sounds good t’ me. Sure sounds like it’ll come in real handy, huh? Oshisan?

Shu:

...

Kuro:

(Crap, this ain’t good... What’s with this lineup? Ra*bits and Valkyrie in the same room? This ain’t gonna end well...

Still, work is work, so I can’t back down now. Why’d so many people sign up for this class anyway?

Here was me thinkin’ barely anyone’s gonna show up. Otherwise I would’ve never agreed to this.

Thought all I’d be doin’ was demonstratin’ a few moves here and there, make a quick buck for the club funds. Thought it’d be a real walk in the park.

I can already feel the headache comin’ on... Alright, let’s get this over with ‘fore someone opens up a real can of worms.

Just havin’ Nito and Itsuki within’ breathin’ distance of each other’s suckin’ all the air right out of this room.

       

Nito seems to be managin’ just fine, holdin’ it together, but Itsuki over there’s gone pale as a ghost.)

Tetora:

Um, think all of you guys could huddle a little closer together? 

The further ya stand apart, the louder Boss is gonna have to yell to get yer attention!

Okay, Itsuki-senpai? Think you could scoot a little closer to Nito-senpai? Maybe so that your shoulders are just touchin’?

Kuro:

(Tetsu! Yer head ain’t screwed on right, boy?!)

Tetsu:

...? What’s up, Boss? Ya seem kinda down in the dumps so far today.

Nazuna:

You okay, Kuro-chin? If you’re worn out, we can just as easily switch this to another day...

Shu:

I-I agree! I believe we should do so, Kiryuu!  It shan’t do for one to wear oneself to a shadow!

Kuro:

Zip it, both of ya. We’re ploughin’ on... Feel like I’m the marriage counselor of a couple goin’ through some kind of divorce, and I ain’t plannin’ on sufferin’ through more than one day of this.

‘Nyway. Run it by me real quick; why’d you lot decide to sign up for this class in the first place?

If you’re seriously feelin’ like somethin’s threatenin’ ya, or gonna ‘cause ya physical harm, I’ll take this as seriously as I can.

Nazuna:

Nah, that’s not it... It’s just that recently we seem to be attracting some pretty strange fans, so I thought it might be best for us to teach ourselves some self-defense, just to be on the safe side.

Heard about a couple of the weirder fans from Mako-chin. And I bet it’s ‘cause all four of us look a little fragile.

I know it’s probably all in jest, but it seems like people are posting online about wanting to kidnap us and stuff.

All of us are small and, well, cute, so I guess we look like easy targets...

There might actually be someone out there deranged enough to get carried away and act on those kinds of thoughts.

The kids started getting a little freaked out, so I signed us up for this self-defense class. For peace of mind more than anything.

Shu:

How utterly deplorable!

I am aware of the existence of such wretched cretins, but I simply cannot fathom their mindset!

Roaches, the lot of them! Pests that time and time again manage to evade the claws of extinction and cling onto dear life!

I, on the other hand, when face to face with something so petite and dear, why! My hand quivers in fear just at the thought of reaching out and making physical contact!

Just being within the same room as creatures so lovely causes my heart to thump! The sight alone enough to satisfy these sore eyes!

Ah, just looking at all of you, angels carved by God himself; exquisite masterpieces blessing all of us with your beauty…

Hajime:

...

Nazuna:

Hey, Itsuki.... Can you cut it out? You’re kinda scaring my kids...

Shu:

What? I’ve taken things too far, have I?

Mika:

... Oshisan, why don’t we call it a day?

Shu:

And why on earth would we do that? You, boy, have collapsed on more than one occasion. Do you not think it is of great importance to familiarize yourself with the basics of martial arts, lest you find yourself caught up in an undesirable situation?

Mika:

Mmm. Nah, it’ll be fine, Oshisan. Based on on what I’ve heard so far, seems like it’s more important t’ focus on avoidin’ these kindsa situations in the first place, rather than tryin’ t’ stand yer ground.

I’ll just be real careful from here on out.

So let’s just leave already, Oshisan.

Seems like that lot’ve misunderstood yer good intentions, kind as ya are, Oshisan. We ain’t got no place here with a buncha kids shakin’ like leaves; they’ve made that much clear.

Nazuna:

Kagehira... Um, I didn’t mean I wanted you guys to leave...

Mika: 

... Gotcha. Might be rude of us to take off half-way through the class, but since we’ve already paid the fees in advance, there shouldn’t be no problem, right?

Let’s go, Oshisan.

Shu:

M-Mhm! My apologies, Kiryuu. Please, carry on. No need to pay any mind to the two of us.

We shall take our leave. Well then, until our paths meet again.

Kuro:

... Think that was for the better, Nito?

Not really too keen on bein’ the one to butt in when it comes to this kinda thing. Appreciate if you’d do somethin’ about it sooner rather than later, or at least so long as it’s before it’s time for all of us to graduate.

Right now yer just reapin’ what ya sowed.

Nazuna:

Yeah... I know. I’ve got to sort things out, especially with Kagehira.

Itsuki and I might be graduating, but Kagehira will be staying behind at Yumenosaki with the kids from Ra*bits.

Valkyrie and I have our history, but I can’t let what started with us be handed down to the next generation.

I want everyone to get along, if that’s even possible! They’re all my precious little brothers after all; Tomoya-chin, Hajime-chin, Mitsuru-chin—and Kagehira.
