Back Where We Started
Later that evening Ankara, Maraza and everyone else head to the restaurant Gretanzu suggested. The restaurant serves barbecued foods and fried vegetables. Ankara looks at the menu.
Ankara: Where are the deserts?
Kaori: They serve barbecue and veggies only in here. They don't have no deserts
Zandai and Gretanzu snicker and laugh. A cook comes and barbecues the meat in front of them on the grill on the table. After the meat is fully cooked Zandai and Gretanzu start grabbing the meat off the grill.
Kasumi: Aren't you going to let that cool off first?
Maraza looks and sees a roach crawling on the wall by Kasumi.
Maraza: Kasumi, there's a roach on the wall
Kasumi: Ahh! AHHH!!!!!
Kasumi jumps out of her seat knocking over Ankara and Maraza. Kaori bursts out laughing.
Ankara: What was that all about?!
Maraza: For goodness sake! You could have just squashed it and wiped it off with a napkin or something
Ankara and Maraza get back into their seats. Abuza notices some guys from another table are staring directly at him and gives him a feeling that they are thinking bad of him.
Abuza: Why do those guys keep staring at me?
Everyone simultaneously looks at the guys at the table.
Kasumi: They don't even look like they're from around here. They stick out like Kaori no offense
Kaori: No offense taken I know I stick out like a sore thumb. Cause I'm lit!
The girls give Kaori a weird look.
Maraza: Proper English......Proper English!
For the love of mighty it's like another language every time he starts speaking!
Gretanzu: I never seen Maraza get like that before
Kaori: She'll be alright
Abuza looks down at the table then looks back up and sees the guys are still staring at him and talking at the same time.
Abuza: They're still staring at me and now they're talking about me
Kaori looks at them then they start to stare at him. Kaori makes a face and puts his arms in front of his face then the guys start laughing.
Kaori: Oh, they think it's funny?
Kaori gets out of his seat.
Kasumi: Kaori what are you doing?
Ankara: Great you just had to get him started
Kaori walks up to their table.
Kaori: Y'all fellas got a problem?
The guys at the table continue to snicker and laugh.
Guy 1: What did you come over here for?
Kaori: Y'all staring at my friend real hard and it's making him feel uncomfortable
Guy 2: You mean that guy with the ponytail?
Kaori: See it's obvious you were staring at if you knew exactly who I was talking about and then you wanted to talk smack about him and laugh?!
Guy 3: We don't care
Guy 1: Get out of here before you get smacked
Kaori raises his eyebrows.
Kaori: Get up
Kaori puts his fists up a fighting stance.
Kaori: I can take on all four of y'all. What's up?!
Maraza: There's no way he can take on all four of them at once
The first guy swings at Kaori, he puts up his punches him twice in the face and knocks him over the table. Kaori punches the second guy in the stomach and throws him onto the third guy. Seeing Kaori beat the other guys the fourth runs out of the restaurant.
Maraza: He beat them? All of them how?!
Gretanzu: He is from West Hacoda
Zandai: He's even got the employees scared
Ankara: I was wondering why no one was kicking him out
After Kaori beat up the group of guys they head home.
Zandai: I can't believe you did that
Kaori: I don't play when comes down to my friends
Gretanzu: And then that left hook you did and threw that guy over the table
Zandai: Nobody says left hook anymore that's for the old people
They arrive in the house.
Kaori: Boy, I'm about to crash so hard I'm on bed you'll think it's the sound of Abuza's punches
Zandai: You probably saved those guys lives. If Abuza did what you did he would have killed them. They should've been on their knees thanking you
The next day Zandai and Gretanzu are on the couch watching TV. Kaori walks into the living room.
Kaori: Is this all we're doing today?
Zandai: Well there's nothing else to do
Kaori: This sitting in the house thing is not for me man! Yo, Abuza!
Kaori goes into Abuza's room.
Abuza: What is it?
Kaori: We need to get out of here?
Abuza: Get out of here? What are you talking about?
Kaori: I mean get out of the house for a few hours. Chum 1 and Chum 2 in there just want to watch comedy television all day
Abuza: I guess since it'll kill time
Abuza and Kaori go into the living room.
Abuza: Where's Kasumi?
Zandai: I don't know I'm not her keeper
Gretanzu: She went to the salon to get her hair conditioned
Kaori: I should have known. No wonder that girl hair be shining so much like reflective mirrors
Abuza and Kaori leave the house.
Abuza: Where are we going?
Kaori looks at the waterfall cliff where Abuza always sits.
Kaori: Have been to the bottom of that waterfall?
Abuza: Well maybe once or twice when I first came here but I never actually explored it because I thought it was too creepy to go down there alone
Kaori looks at Abuza.
Abuza: You want to explore it don't you?
Abuza and Kaori walk near the waterfall.
Kaori: How in the world did you get down there?! It like a 100 meter drop
Abuza: It's a long story
Abuza comes up with an idea.
Abuza: Grab my hand
Kaori: Grab your hand?
Abuza: Do you want to get to the bottom of this waterfall or not?
Kaori grabs Abuza's hand and they jump down the waterfall.
Kaori: YOU DIDN'T TELL ME WE WERE GOING TO JUMP!!
Right before they land Abuza creates a gold barriers that surrounds them causing them to land softly at the bottom of the waterfall cliff.
Kaori: You keep coming up with these new tricks faster than I can remember them
Abuza and Kaori look around the area. There are doors behind the waterfall that are covered in dust and spiderwebs.
Kaori: I just remembered something. You never finished that story. Say what part did you leave off on or wait you forgot
Abuza: I remembered, I just didn't want to tell you at that moment because some personal things happened that I didn't want to relive
Kaori: Whoa. I didn't know that
Abuza: I'll tell you
Abuza tells Kaori about how they met Taaru.
Kaori: Hey, that's kinda similar to when you met me
Abuza: Now that I think about it, it kinda is.
After Taaru officially settled in with us he was a bit of a.....
Kaori: Jerk?
Abuza: That's putting it lightly. Zandai and Gretanzu were so focused on him it was like I didn't even exist. We even we to this festival and they didn't even notice when I left early and Taaru looked at me like I was just some useless baggage to be tossed out of the way. Then....
Abuza tells Kaori about when he sneak into the abandoned castle surrounded by demon.
Kaori: Were you out of your mind back then? Most people "run away" from things like that
Abuza: I had to see what was going on. These were actually the same demons that were in Xian's army so I had to do something. So after I got inside I ran into the face of pure evil itself, a very powerful demon named Yuzuki
Kaori: And you fought him?!
Abuza: Yeah....
Kaori: You obviously didn't die so how did you get away? Did you hit the jets and zoom right out of there? Ooo no! You busted a hole in the wall to get away
Abuza: I didn't run away. I fought him head on. He beat me of course then after that was a blur. All I remember is being angry and frustrated with everyone and everything that was around me after that
After telling the story the sun sets and it gets dark under the waterfall. Kaori turns around and sees an entrance behind the waterfall.
