Jigoku-Sama’s Restricted Romance

 

CHAPTER 7: THE NEMESIS

 

Mean while, a group of boy were leaning to a fence smoking cigarettes. One of them was looking at Kai talking with the new friends he had met.

“Who the hell is that?” asked the boy.

“Well, telling by his clothes he must be loaded. Let’s go beat the shit out of him and take his cash.” said the boy next to him.

They put out their cigarettes and began walking towards the group. Some of the boys were cracking their knuckles and rubbing their fists in preparation for an easy mugging.

 

“Uh oh, guys.” said Suki in a worried voice. “Here comes Satoshi and his gang. You’d better go, Kai.”

“Why?”

“Satoshi is the worst person at this school. Him and his gang are always hungry for money. If you don’t leave they’re going to beat you up and take your money. And they’re probably going to do the same with the boys, they always do.” said Toshi.

“Yeah, its surprising people like that would have even enough decency to leave us girls’ alone.” said Kasumi.

“Perhaps I should go talk to him. I’m sure we can arrange something with minimal bloodshed.” said Kai trying to look tough in front of the group.

“We appreciate the kindness but, don’t be a fool!” said Daisuke. “You could have a knife and bomb for all we care but, there’s no way you can take on eight guys like that. You’ll be killed and torn apart and your remains burnt to ashes!”

Suddenly, Satoshi and his gang arrived in front of them.

“Too late!” cried Ayane.

“I’ll go and get teacher!” said Yuki.

“No.” said Kai. “This person needs to be taught a lesson and should learn not to pick on people like that.”

 

“So, I take it you don’t come from this city am I right?” said Satoshi.

“Correct. I’m from Hong Kong.” said Kai.

“Really? We have our karate and you are supposed to know kung-fu or whatever. Why don’t you show us some of that?” said Satoshi.

“I didn’t come to fight.” said Kai, clenching his fists in anticipation.

Kai took off his coat and threw it to Suki. Satoshi chuckled.

“But if you insist, I would be glad to oblige.”

“Hold it; I didn’t say you’d be fighting me did I? I don’t think you’re really all that tough. It would be a waste of my energy.” he said.

Satoshi pointed to one of his henchmen.  The henchman grinned.

“You, go break the Chinaman’s legs.”

“My pleasure.” said the henchman.

 

The henchman pulled out a miniature novelty baseball bat.

“You’re fighting with weapons?” said Kai. “Where is the honour in that?”

“Screw honour, this is a street fight. You’re welcome to use weapons too, if you have any.” Satoshi said.

Kai shrugged his shoulders. Suddenly a belt flew into his hand. Kasumi winked.

“I need that!” yelled Daisuke as he was trying to keep his pants up while being restrained by the others.

 Satoshi laughed and nodded his head for the fight to commence. Kai stood his guard with his weapon taut between his hands. The henchman charged pulling his bat back and getting ready to swing.

The henchman yelled as he swung downwards towards Kai’s head. Satoshi was smiling evilly, thinking that the fight was about to finish with a single blow from his henchman. He was wrong.

 

Kai raised the belt as the bat came down. Kai blocked it using all his effort to stop the bat from coming down. He blocked the strike. Then Kai slid his belt down the bat to the henchman’s wrist and wrapped the belt around it.

Satoshi’s smile turned to a frown as Kai spun around and flipped the henchman over his shoulder and slamming him hard on to the ground. Satoshi now angry waved his hand and signaled two more of his men to try and hurt Kai. Kai was now unarmed as the belt had gone with his adversary to the ground. Kai put his fists in front of him preparing to take some bombardment from the branch and skateboard the henchmen were wielding.

“Kai! Catch!” Suki yelled.

Suki threw Daisuke’s math book to him.

“Hey I didn’t think I’d be mugged by you guys!” cried Daisuke.

Kai caught it and immediately put it to use. He threw the open book in one of the henchmen’s face, blinding him. He then threw a quick punch to the stomach and took the book off to fight the other henchman. The boy swung his skate board but, Kai dodged it. He continued dodging swing and stabs of the skateboard until an opportunity turned up.

Finally, the henchman swung. As Kai ducked down his made a sweep with his right leg which knocked the henchman off his feet. He then rushed over to jab the book in his stomach. Suddenly, Satoshi signaled for all his henchmen to go after Kai.

 

“Oh shit! Kai’s going to get destroyed, I can’t watch!” said Ayane.

“No!” Toshi said solemnly holding his fist up. “We cannot just stand idly by and let him get beat to death although it would be easier. If just one person can stand up to Satoshi and his gang then surely seven of us can too!” 

“But, Toshi They’ve got weapons.” said Suki.

“Oh. Damn. Then you girls go get the supervisor and we men will have to defend our fallen comrade with our lives!” said Toshi his emotions rising again. “Uh, girls?”

The girls had begun running into battle, Kasumi shouting war cries.

“Well, there goes our masculinity.  Here’s the plan. As soon as we get those guys away from Kai, someone has to go get the supervisor! ” said Suki.

The boys began searching for weapons. Suki found a pen, Toshi had found some peppermint gum and Daisuke had adopted his pants as a weapon as he could no longer support them.

 

Kai who had been blocking so many hits was now wincing in pain repeatedly as he was being kicked in the ribs. Suddenly, all of his new friends jumped in to help. Toshi went to work rubbing the unwrapped gum in the eyes of one of the henchmen as he screamed in agony. Suki tackled one of the other henchmen and began poking him repeatedly with his pen.

Kasumi was sneaking up on one of the henchmen who was currently busy struggling with Daisuke.

She was about to give him an elbow in the head when the henchman swung backwards and struck Kasumi in the face.

“You!” she screamed. “You hit my beautiful face! Die!”

“I’m sorry!” the Henchman yelled as he realized who he hit.

The henchman began to run away but, she caught up to him. She tripped him and began dragging him by his hair.  While Megumi was beating down one of the henchmen with her backpack, Ayane and Yuki were kicking and beating another one with their books. 

When Kai came to his senses, he noticed that no one was hitting him and that all the henchmen were fighting against his friends. Kai was relieved that his friends were ok but, suddenly the tables turned. The henchmen regained control of their weapons.

Satoshi and his men were about to finish off his friends when he saw an adult running towards them.

“That’s it! Stop! There is no fighting allowed!” yelled the supervisor.

“They started it!” said Satoshi.

“I’m finding that hard to believe considering the fact that you boys are holding weapons.

Report to the head masters office immediately, all of you!” said the supervisor. He then caught sight of Kai. “You! Go back to your own school, get out of here now!”

“Before you leave, where do you live?” asked Suki.

He did not want them to know where he lived for a fear it would bring some form of trouble so in response to Suki’s question he replied

“A booth.”
