"Now my question right now is, why does it feel like we're being watched?" AJ sits back as the school's alarm rings. "This is going to be a long, long day..."

"Life Fiber Synchronization, Kamui Senketsu!" Ryuko shouts transforming to save Mako.

"Taking hostages? That's pretty low." AJ stabs a person also helping to save Mako.

Mako smiles at her friends. "You're so cool, Ryuko, AJ!"

"Shut Up! This girl isn't a hostage."

AJ glances to Mako. "Chained up against her will, her being here was to lure others. That's called a hostage, buddy."

"She is the biology clubs prestigious guinea pig #1!" They all attempt to hurt Ryuko and AJ the latter looking to the former before making a finger gun at the other students.

"Here's a new one. Lightning Dance." From his fingers three bolts blast out parading around the club members before they could get too close and collapsing the group. Their uniforms tear causing the fibers to be absorbed by either Senketsu or the cluster of fibers on AJ's back.

Ryuko shrugs I pressed. "I guess that wraps that up."

"Thanks, AJ, Ryuko!" The trio sit together eating their lunch. They soon after spot Thomas sparring with C-X4 and Jack. The trio not holding back with the exception of them not using their abilities as Ryuko begins to brag. Senketsu speaks up.

"Your blood has been salty lately."

AJ shrugs. "That's a sign of overconfidence."

"That's not a good thing." BB notes.

Ryuko glances between the three. "Huh?"

"Don't think you're getting a little cocky?"

"You can tell that from how my blood taste. Okay then B.B. how does AJ's blood taste?"

"Like I'm eating a bunch of sugary treats." Speaks pleasantly enjoying her meal.

"I didn't realize that you were interested in tasting my blood, Ryuko."

"I can immediately spot any change in your physiology. Everything from your weight to your BMI." Senketsu says.

"I do the same AJ."

"Gah!" AJ drops his food after BB tightens around his stomach.

"Butt out of private stuff like that!"

"Kind of agree with her on that one."

"Relax, you're fine it seems Thomas and AJ both know how to properly treat a person like you."

AJ life his hands in both embarrassment and fear. "Oh my god. I'm going to die. Soon. Mako... can you wait by the bathroom I'll come pick you up in like five minutes."

"Okay!"

AJ yawns. "I'm going to nap so Ryuko. Don't move."

"W-What?!"

He goes to lay down only spot Mako on the floor with needles piercing her skin in every location as Thomas and the others all stop having dodged these needles and regrouping with AJ and Ryuko.

Ryuko rushes to Mako's side leaving AJ seated on a pipe. "Mako! Hey, Mako! Say something!"

"I got her out of here for a while. She is unharmed. Thanks to the effects of the needles, when she wakes up any fatigue she had will be alleviated, any sickness cured, and she will full of vim and vigor." A man with a mohawk stands before the group with what looks like sewing machine's for guns.

"Oh, thanks for that...?" Ryuko states confused.

"Now, what do you want? " AJ aims his fingers forward, pointed at the man approaching. Ryuko is stunned not knowing what to do.

"Your uniforms, however, will receive no mercy." The main aims at Ryuko & AJ.

"You want to run that by me again?" AJ glares at the mohawked man.

Senketsu, however has different advice. "Run, Ryuko!"

Ryuko attempts to run from the man who fires dozens of shots toward her. AJ deflects all of the ones that come close to him, Thomas catching all the ones headed his direction as Jack and C-X4 make an electric and water barrier to destroy or slow these shots. Ryuko continues running. "What the hell?!"

AJ rolls his eyes. "You have skill. I'll give you that. But I don't think you're in any of these clubs."

"Take off your clothes."

"Well that's a weird thing to say. If I was Ryuko I'd say you're from the pervert club."

"Let me tell you two useful pieces of information. One, I'm not a pervert..."

"Keep telling yourself that."

"...Two, you are unable to transform in front of me."

AJ grins. "Who said I needed to? Erratic Discharge!" Lightning bolts fling out from his body hitting walls and the floor. One of the bolts strikes the needle gun the man was using. He slowly begins to walk away as AJ stares him down.

"I'll be back, to strip you tomorrow."

"Good luck with that. You'll need it." The guy walks away as AJ helps Ryuko stand and they continue through their day. They walk towards the class, when just before entering AJ moves his head to the side avoiding a needle aimed for him. "Nice try."

They continue about their day until that night as they return to the house AJ and Thomas use. AJ looks around at the room disappointed with the lack of color nothing but browns and black. He shakes his head taking a deep breath as he simply lays on his bed leaving B.B. on as he sleeps.

He awakens alone on his bed as he goes into the living room and spots on the couch Ryuko asleep. He shakes his head and carries her to the bed. He opens a window and jumps out into the city of Honnouji. As he looks at the man who attempted to attack him the day prior. He stands and electric moved to the school building landing in the courtyard. AJ suddenly blinks and jumps away avoiding four rockets launched at him,

"You're on bud!" AJ says with a laugh. He dashes forward avoiding needle after needle as he draws his knife and takes a swipe that's blocked by the man's weapon

"Here's a piece of advice, it takes a lot more than strength to win a fight." He clicks a button as AJ's smirk turns to a frown glancing behind himself he jumps to the side drawing throwing knives from his coat and launches each of them into a rocket that was launched at him.

"I'm not that stupid, pal!" He then jumps back again avoiding paper fans as he looks around unimpressed.

"In the early dawn..."

"Tch. What now?" AJ growls.

"ITS THE HONNOUJI RAKUGO CLUB'S THREE MASTERS!" A group of boys shout.
"WE'RE THE OGURA HYAKUNIN ISSHU CLUB! THE HORDE OF ONE HUNDRED!" A group of a hundred girls yell.
"Gardening! WERE THE BACKYARD DIVISION OF THE GARDENING CLUB!" A mixed group aim pitchforks and other gardening tools.

"And I'm the shifty-eyed Kusatao Uwabami! You messed up our garden. You're gonna pay for that!" Uwabami prepares to attack the two fighters.

"I've just about it with this place." AJ bolts out of the area avoiding the commotion as he leaves the guy to fight as he grabs his phone calling Thomas. "Hey, Bro."

"What is it this time?"

"Okay, So stay with me here. There's some guy here with needles attempting to take Senketsu from Ryuko and B.B. from me. He's got a black and red Mohawk and he's really annoying. Same guy from yesterday."

"God damn it, AJ... I'll be there, twenty minutes."

"Yeah, fine!" He hangs up just as his phone is shot out of his hand. "You know you're paying for that right?" He then covers up as an explosion goes off followed by needles he looks around the hall to see everyone hung up and dozens of traps set up. He barely avoids each before he's kicked into a restroom and kept at gun point .

"Its about time they started working. But that's a Kamui for you."

"Heh. Hahahah." AJ chuckles, it slowly building into a full laugh.

"What are you laughing about?"

"I don't know what I find funnier. The fact that you haven't it realized it yet, or that I just realized your gun is literally a sewing machine?"

"Whatever, it's over, now take off your clothes!" He demands, AJ continues to laugh.

"Its still funny to me." He then kicks AJ and follows with a slap to the face to which AJ simply spits the blood in his mouth on the guys shoe. "I want you to know one thing."

"Hmm?"

"This whole time... I haven't used any ability, nor have I used my Kamui."

"There's no way you could last this long without your Kamui."

"You're wrong. It's simply allowing only certain shots to get through to sell it right. I did take a few actual hits, but most were just bluffs. Muscle Shock!" A bolt of electricity shoots out of his finger making the man drop his gun and allows for AJ to kick him in the groin before rising and punching him on the jaw. "Now then, I'm done with this game of ours. I was going to wait for big brother, but I think I'll go a bit differently. And I have second piece of information for you, whenever I fight other dudes, I always aim for the nuts."

"Huh?"

"Life Fiber synchronize! Kamui BlackBerry!" He transforms as B.B. begins to cover him in a shadow before bursting into a blue light revealing AJ with a dark blue strand in his hair and navy blue coat with black pants and a blood red tank top as the suit. He steps forward electricity flowing from his arms and body. "The only way you're going to take B.B. from me, is to pry it from my cold dead hands."

"Then you give me no other option."

He aims the weapon at AJ's forehead and nearly pulls the trigger when he's grabbed by a sleeve.

"Don't you touch him, if you do, I'll kill you." BB speaks to the mohawked man with a glare.

'Wait, it talks? Are these two...? Friends?' He thinks to himself. They suddenly hear flutes and drums. The pair turn to see Nonon Jakuzure.

"You're battle with a Kamui was, in a word, magnificent. Unfortunately, the melody you've been playing has gotten pretty boring. Be a doll and hand 'em over." Nonon Jakuzure grins smugly at the pair.

"Just give you B.B.?" AJ questions.

"Yup, and the both of you, too, if you don't mind."

AJ rolls his eyes. "Girlie, one, I'm not working with the Kiriyuin's again. Two, B.B. is not ending up in your hands ever." The room suddenly explodes with water and gas as Thomas arrives breaking through a wall and kicks the man in the head launching him through the hole. The brothers hop out after him. The duo land in front of him staring each other down.

"Give us you're name before you go." Thomas demands.

"My name?"

"This is your only chance. So why don't you?" AJ crouches nest to his brother.

"Fine. Tsumugu Kinagase. Now if that's all I'll take my leave."

"Yeah, that's all." They go their separate ways returning to the house at noon to find Ryuko still asleep in the bed. AJ removes B.B. and puts her in the closet before laying down on the couch putting on some tv.

"I won't let anything happen to B.B..." AJ mumbles to himself.

Chapter End.
