-DAY 1- "SONUVABITCH!" Takao cursed as his alarm clock rang off, early in the morning. The rectangular box emitted the high pitched chirps at 6 am, just as the first rays of light began to hit the sky. He showered long, and took his time to eat his breakfast. A moment after be brushed his teeth, he went to his closet. "Not gonna wear the suit today." He commented. School was a chance to feel normal, or at least like a functioning member of society. Taking it off his hanger, Takao felt rather nostalgic about putting his school uniform back on. The shoulders and arms were tight, and the legs were almost too short. He had grown and grew stronger since the last time he wore the bland outfit, but it was less embarrassing than a skin tight suit, even if it gave him super powers. Takao bounded out of Ichirou's house at 7 am, without the chance of saying "Good Morning" to him. School bag in one hand, swim bag in the other, it had been almost a year since he felt this organized. There was no way he was gonna feel relaxed about this. He had missed...how many classes? The work was gonna kick Takao's ass. The school eventually grew in sight, and Takao made it to his homeroom with time to spare. Whispers surrounded him as he took his seat in the third row next to the window. Girls turned their backs to him when he looked at them, and guys gave off vibes of fear and tension. Normal school days all over again. He felt a tinge of sadness as he became integrated back into the educational system. Sayomi wasn't there, and would never be there ever again. Those thoughts came to a close as the bell rang, the gates shut, the whispers died and the wooden door slammed open then slammed shut. "Sensei is late again today! Looks like I will be giving off the announcements and doing the attendance for this class. This is class 12-B, right? A girl with purple hair composed herself at the front of the classroom. She held a clipboard, and was twirling a pen in her left hand. Takao knew he had seen her somewhere before. She had to be a classmate in an advanced class above, a status Takao was denied due to truancy and violence. She began to read names off of a clipboard. His classmates names. Eventually, the list reached him, and as he gave an acknowledgement of his presence, the class grew silent with amazement. The purple haired girl continued to read names and started the announcements, but a heavy air surrounded the class of 12-B "Class, Don't forget that the club director meeting is tomorrow after school. Sports should also meet up, since we are preparing for the school festival. That is all." The girl left the room. The rest of the day was rather monotonous. Takao got his missing work, which literally was a mountain. Then he made his way to the pool. Aki Shiku was there, as new swim team captain. He was Takao's replacement, and apparently he was not a very good replacement for Takao, as he was sleeping on the job. The other swimmers looked up from drills and saw that Takao was back. Cheers were yelled, and Takao finally felt back at home. Those cheers also woke up Aki, and boy did those make him mad. Takao was not changed for the pool, nor was he ready to swim, he was just ready to enjoy the atmosphere. "Hi guys, did'ya miss little ol' me?" Takao said in his usual banter. "Since i sure as hell missed all of y--" A large fist made contact with Takao's face, and knocked him off his chair. Takao felt some pain, and had no suit. He looked up, and there stood Aki, with two large goons at his side.

Before Aki could mutter a single word, Takao lept for the goon on his right, and with a few flashes of his fist, the thug was down. The other thug screamed and ran at him, and seconds later he found himself with a bruised face and a few missing teeth. Takao still retained his bloodlust he acquired from the room, and between giggles, he asked Aki a question. "Do you like being the team captain?" Aki responded with fearfully firm "No" headshake. "Good, I am taking my team back then. Leave." Aki did as he was told. Takao dragged the two goons out with him. He walked back into the pool and conversed with some friends. Just as he began to go into the lockers and change, a man from the school administrative team arrived, and took him to the offices. "Mr. Sato, I see you have joined us again. Well it looks like you have caused some trouble, but I guess that is expected from a punk like yourself. I have no idea how you score such highly on exams, yet you live like that!?! Would you care to tell me? Anyways, looks like I need to punish you then! Ms. Takeda will be in charge of that tomorrow. Dismissed. Takao boringly took the ass chewing, the walked out of the room. This was the start of a hell of a school semester. Takao went home and tackled the books before falling asleep at his desk. -End Day 1-

-Day 2- Takao awoke from his desk as the sunshine arose from the window in his room. In other words, he overslept and was hella late for school. He bounded from shower to closet to school in a matter of seconds. But this time he decided to wear his Gantz suit. The fact he got into a fight yesterday was a good indicator that he might need it to keep himself alive in something that could be worse than a fight with aliens, aka high school. However, he didn't wear the glove or boot sections of the suit, and instead left those in his gym bag. He made it to the campus just as the gate was closing, and was in his seat just as the bell rang. The girl reappeared. Takao never noticed how pretty she was the day before. Probably since he was still getting adjusted to all the shit he was dealing with due to his return. She did the attendance like usual, and then began with announcements. "Class, Don't forget that the club director meeting is tomorrow after school. Sports should also meet up, since we are preparing for the school festival. Also, Mr. Sato, I expect to see you there.Takao's eyes opened wide as he realized that she was talking directly at him, three rows and two columns away. But with looks like that, and a nice firm....voice, he knew he had to follow through with her request. Takao's classes began to drag on until the end of the school meeting for the festival. Student heads from every sport and club were there, giving ideas for their parts of the festivities. Takao paid no attention to them. They were all boring for the most part. Either they were filled with ego or were completely clueless. At least the swim team gave him the idea of a dunking booth. One by one, each head proposed an idea, Takao included. But they began to laugh at his idea. Rolling his eyes, and blowing his bangs off of his forehead, he glared at them and mockingly said "At least our club has the guts to be real men and show off what we got. You pussies are all beating around the bush. I mean what is this sh-"Takao's little rant was interrupted by an ear pull along with fearful mutters from the other heads, all murmuring "Oh shit, its Takeda-San." Takao glanced in the direction of the tugs he received upside the head, and his eyes opened with happiness and a sudden overwhelming sense of fear. Satsuki Takeda, star student, student body officer, and head of the kendo club gave him a death glare. "Follow me, NOW." Her words were final as she began to drag him out of the room and into the hallway by his ear.

[...] "YOU have got some balls to PULL THAT KIND OF SHIT IN MY MEETING! WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE!?!" Satsuki screamed at him in a furious rage. "Who the hell do you think I AM!?!" Takao humorously shouted back, while quoting an anime legend. He was grinning cheek to cheek. "I took myself on a LIMB here hoping that I would be able to let you go. But apparently I was wrong, and you are just another asshole..." She muttered, still dragging Takao. They made it to a room, in which the girl dropped Takao on the ground and unlocked the room. She slid both doors to the side, and flicked a switch. The room illuminated with a soft tan light that fell on her face and amplified her beauty. But her anger made her look like a goddess out of hell. Takao waited as she filled two metal buckets with water, and made Takao do the "iron chair punishment" in which the student would have to do wall sit-squats without spilling a drop. With the suit on, Takao had an easy time, and began it without any complaint. "God this is boring. Can't we do something fun?" he muttered while raising an eyebrow. "Maybe we could take it up as a little wager?" As soon as he said those words, Satsuki's ears perked up like an attentive dog. "Hmm, if you call the shots, I get to pick the punishment?" She said with a sly smile. She began to sweep dust off the tatami mats that covered the room. Kendo equipment was organized everywhere. Swords on walls, armor mounted on stands, and pictures of all the former club heads. "Deal. If i win......hmmm. What to say, what to say? Ah! You have to go on a date with me!" Takao exclaimed, as Satsuki froze in fear, shock, and disgust. "And if you lose, you are my lap dog for the rest of the semester." she replied firmly. "Fine, but name your game.""Oh nothing, just a little sparring match. First to three blows?" The words left her mouth and formed a small smirk. Takao smiled back. She turned and went to a cage and unlocked a small copper lock. She opened it up, and began putting on her hakama over her skirt, a keigoki and do over her top, before attaching her tare, kote, and men. She waved Takao over to do the same, be he arrogantly waved her off. Irrtated, she flung the tare, do, kote and men at him, but he only wore the kote. "Don't bitch to me about the bruises you get from me. She advised on the notion that he would not wear protection. On that note, she drew out four shinai, two long and two short. She gave one of each to Takao. Instead of holstering him on his belt, he flung the short one aside, which landed on the ground on a thud, and twirled his long one in hand. Both students took a kneeling position in front of each other. They bowed, stood up, and Satsuki took a proper fighting stance. Takao apathetically held his wooden sword with one hand. Realizing that Takao was not going to make the first move, she lunged at him. His killer instinct kicked in, and he swatted her blade away and out of her hands with the strength of the suit. Regardless of the amazing feat, she continued forward and was at Takao's neck with her short blade. "One" Satsuki went to retrieve her abandoned weapon "Heh, not bad. But I still fail to see what is so special about all this."That comment seemed to gain some irritation from her, shown from her new stance. It was more forward, with more aggression. She lunged again. Takao waited for the last possible moment for the blade to make contact with him, using his suit to sidestep her, and gently tap his blade to her back. "One"Satsuki made no noise, and with that strike her frustration began to build. A person with no skill or experience had landed a blow on the team captain. She had to be better than that. They retook their respective stances. Satsuki with a proper form, Takao holding his stick like a one-handed fencer. She came at him a third time, putting on an extra burst of speed, catching Takao off guard. He blocked the full strike, but she had his arms locked, and before he could tap into the suit strength, she had her second blade at his neck. "Two"Takao let a "Woah" escape his mouth. She walked back, and readied her stance, and as she prepared to go after him, Takao responded fircely. He put on his speed, and had his sword at her chest, poking the do where her breasts would be. Takao smirked. "Two""Grrr""What, is that all you got? I thought you would be more fearsome." Takao said while walking back toward his starting position, shinai on his shoulder. He was hitting all of Satsuki's buttons. Her anger began to rise. "Are you ready or what?" Takao mockingly said. "I mean it seems like you ar-"A purple blur appeared, moving forward, and then spun followed by a... WHAM!The fibers of the shinai were scattered everywhere, and behind her Do, Satsuki's eyes were opened with fear. She had broken her wooden sword over Takao's head, and he was sprawled on the ground, motionless. She ripped off her Do, and trembled. She killed him. That swing was taught to kill in one blow, steel blade or wood. The impact should have shattered his skull. She approached cautiously, and was about to put her ear to his chest when he slowly began to get up. Takao got up, dazed with the sudden impact of being floored. That was something he was not suspecting. "Oh my god" Satsuki muttered. She was afraid she gave him brain damage or something. The bigger question was how was he still moving. "Damn that was an amazing hit. Still, i have been hit with worse. But shit, I lost. You won." Takao said as he got up and cracked his neck a few times. "NO! N-No-no! I shouldn't have done that. I mean how ARE YOU NOT DEAD!?! How are you NOT STUPIDER THAN YOU WERE TO BEGIN WITH. WHAT THE FUCK!?!" Satsuki needed a moment to become composed again. Takao scratched his head and waited for her to calm down. She spoke again after she stripped off all her armor. "Are you hurt? I am so sorry that happened. That was irresponsible of me and I am extremely lucky that you didn't die. So I humbly surrender to the challenge and I hope that you won't report me." Satsuki went on her knees, and bowed at his feet, teary eyed. She was ashamed and afraid, and Takao was completely confused. "WOAH WOAH WOAH! Calm down. Relax. I wouldn't do that. I was being a dick, taunting you like that...I-I shouldn't have done that either. I mean I have experienced worse. (No Lie) Don't cry!" Takao said in a panic. Satsuki wiped her eyes, relieved. Takao took her hand and picked her up. The light from the windows were orange, and dusk began to settle. They put the equipment away in silence. The room goes dark and is shut. They walk down corridors, stairs, and out to the main gate of the school courtyard. Satsuki breaks the silence. "Tomorrow after school, wanna go see a movie?"Takao was not sure how to comprehend what was happening. He nodded his head up and down, with an open mouth, like a dumbass. Satsuki managed a small smile. She took out a small piece of stationary and scribbled something in it before folding it delicately. "I believe that we haven't had a formal introduction. My name is Satsuki Takeda. Doozo-yoroshiku." and with that, handed the paper to him. It had her phone number in it. "I'm Takao Sato." Takao responded casually. Satsuki hugged him, and tip-toed, giving him a small kiss on the cheek before walking away and waving goodbye. Takao walked home with a smile on his face and finished his homework. -End Day 2-

-Day 3- Nii-joo no kusuri wo nomi kudasai"Please take 2 pills" Takao downed 6 painkillers and looked at himself in the mirror. Lip split, eyelid torn, swollen knuckles, and a nasty gash along his cheek, along with multiple bruises were found on his body. In his room, Satsuki slept on his bed, in his clothes, curled in a ball out of cold and fear. He washed his face and hands again, and looked at his reflection. He finally had stopped the bleeding. The bags under his eyes seemed to have stood out more than they had that morning. He turned the light off to the bathroom, and went downstairs to the living room with a "tmp tmp tmp" to his footsteps. Ichirou was no where to be seen. His hand found the remote somewhere on the counter, and the tv flicked on with a low hum. The light of the idiot box filled the living room. He stared at some comedy show that ran as he reminisced about the day. "That shit was fucking insane. How the hell did I wind up here again?"That Morning Takao slowly got out of bed at around 10 am. The festival was still getting set up, so there were no classes on Saturday. He needed the break. Cramming was a pain in the ass, since he finally came back to school in the middle of the week, and the amount of knowledge he tried to retain made his head spin. He showered and chose his wardrobe. He decided that he wasn't gonna wear his suit today. He was just gonna be a normal guy going on a normal first date with a normal girl. He picked black jeans, a white shirt with a panda on it, and a black jacket. His usual color preference was blue or red or tan, but he was wearing so much black that he kinda started liking it. It was empowering. He ate and shot a text to Satsuki. "Lets go to the Ryuuga Eiga-Kan"He went into the bathroom and looked at himself. He looked rested and relaxed for once. His hair was really long, but he wasn't gonna comb it back, since he would then look like a typical thug. His hair fell normally as he got an affirmative text back. "Sure <3!"He was out the door and at the theater in the length of one 15-minute long train ride. He wasn't the first one there. Satsuki leaned on the rail of an overpass, staring into the sea of cars whizzing by. The wind was in her hair, and her hair was in a tight ponytail. She glanced to the side with her eye, before snapping to attention, standing up straight and directly faced Takao. She was clearly embarrassed to be caught totally spacing. As Takao approached her, she readjusted her purse, started messing with her hair, and overall began to somewhat panic. Takao raised an eyebrow. "What is wrong with you? You don't seem to be the kind of person who is worried about these kinds of things."She stopped figiting and gave him a glare. "Well contrary to your belief, I am still a girl, and girls do worry about dates too. Y'know...Besides, its not like I haven't had other boyfriends before..." She let her voice trial. Takao had an idea and smiled. "You sure? It sounded like you were trying to cover something up? Care to share?""N-NO! Its not like I am trying to imply anything or whatnot. I mean I am a great student and pretty!" "More like pretty fuckin scary...""How dare you say something like that!?! I thought you were a gentleman of some sorts.""And that is coming from the lady slammed a dense stick onto my head...""FINE! If it makes you feel better, I admit that I...haven't had a boyfriend before that actually mattered.....""Oh, so I matter?""Well you actually didn't call the cops on me for almost killing you, and besides, you are actually rather smart from what I hear. The other guys that I sorta dated were muscle heads that asked me out, and didn't have the heart to reject...""So you played em?" "Ehh, I guess so, but do you really gotta put it like that?""I call it as I see it."Takao had some fits of laughter as they walked toward the theater together. Satsuki was mildly amused, even if it was at her own expense. They finally made it to the theater, and had to decide on a file to see. They agreed to see something based off an American slasher movie. They found their seats in the middle of the dim room, as they watched random advertisements scroll across the screen. The lights dimmed and the film began. It was the typical flick. Psycho with some kind of knife, taking his aggression out on teenagers. Takao lazily leaned on his arm rest with his arm, but suddenly found himself latched onto by his date. She was shaking. He looked at her questioningly. "You ok?" he whispered. His response was a small nod and another glare. Takao wanted to get some food, and told Satsuki he was going to do so. She looked peeved, and tried to keep him there, but suddenly interested. "I want something chocolate related.""Yeah, yeah. Anything else?" "A coke?" "Mk"He kept the conversation short, since he didn't want to miss anything else. He hustled back out into the brightly lit concession. He waited in line, and looked around him. He wasn't the only member of a couple there. There were tons of teenagers there, with romantic lives straight outta books. It made him somewhat sick, with their state of being care free. Then something else caught his eye. A pair of men entered the concession. One was missing a pinky, the other missing an ear. Both were wearing sunglasses, with their hair slicked back, and they wore armani suits. Takao ignored them as best as he could. Then he noticed that one of them was pointing to him. His friend with no ear reached into his suit... Something was not right.

Takao paid them little attention as he moved up in the line. However, one began to progressively move closer to him. The other took his hand out of the pocket of his suit and produced a cell phone, which he dialed. Takao bailed from the line, and dashed back to the theater. He bounded up the stairs toward his row that had Satsuki, staring up at the screen as a man pursued a young blond bombshell. Takao gently tapped her on the shoulder.
"We...uhhh..need to go...Like RIGHT NOW."
"Why, are you chickening out?" She replied with a smug grin, which suddenly stopped as the girl screamed in pain as she was stabbed.
"Not really" Takao muttered as he turned around. The man who was missing his pinky had entered the room, and began to slowly make his way up the stairs. Satsuki saw the man as well, and jolted up. They made their way through the film watchers, and took the fire exit behind the screen. They both knew the man was in pursuit of them.
They began to make their way down stairs and out into a back alleyway, when Takao asked, "Care to explain who the fuck is that guy, and why he wants either you or me?"
"Sorry about all this, but this is my fault. My father he...OH SHIT, LOOK OUT!"
Satsuki pointed at the exit of the alleyway, making Takao slide to a grinding halt. A black limo blocked the exit. Behind them, the man with no pinky had caught up, and blocked the fire escape. A fat man in a suit, with sunglasses and a large cigar in his mouth exited the door, along with 3 others. One man lit the cigar for him as he approached.
"O-ho-ho-ho, Satsuki-Chan. Looks like you got yourself a new friend here. But lets ignore him and get down to business. Why hasn't your father paid his dues to us yet?"
Takao slowly looked at Satsuki. She pursed her lips together before angrily responding softly, "He already did"
"Well you see, leaving the Yakuza is pricy, so he paid the base, but he needed to pay a little extra. Some to keep his mouth shut, some as interest. We wouldn't want to snitch him out now." The fat Yakuza smiled.
Takao's mind began to race. His eyes wandered around in search of an exit.
"If he can't pay with money, he can at least pay using you..." The Yakuza continued, and began to lick his lips as he pointed toward Satsuki. She tensed up, and the man slowly began to walk toward the couple.

Takao was not liking this situation. He realized at that moment that he had the worst luck with women. They either rejected him, died, or had ties to the FUCKING YAKUZA. He just couldn't catch a break. 4 were in front of him, and one in pursuit behind. As the slimeball slowly made his way to Satsuki, Takao decided that it was time for violence. Talking things through probably would have wasted time anyways. Thing was, he didn't have his suit. No suit, no problem, I guess.[/color] Takao wasted no time. As the man was about to put his hand on the girl, he quickly found out that pain was going to be the only thing he would be feeling. Takao had his wrist twisted to a point in which the Yakuza's face was turning red with pain. "Do something you fools!" He screamed as the pain became unbearable. At the queue, the 3 other guards reached into their breast pockets and produced handguns. Takao's eyes shot open, as the Yakuza screamed, "NO, YOU FUCKING FOOLS. YOU WANT TO MAKE A COMMOTION?!?!" The weapons were hidden once again as they all went forward toward Takao as Satsuki cautiously backed behind him. Fists were clenched with keys, and brass knuckles adorned fingers. The fight was on. Takao dropped the leader with a swift punch to the gut as one closed in, and followed with two front jabs. Takao began to smirk as he quickly side stepped both incoming forces and followed with a punch to the face so hard that it snapped the thug's glasses in half, and broke his pretty nose. Takao's fist began to bleed as the skin had split. The punch was strong enough to drop him like a rock. The other two began to work in conjunction as they realized the man they were facing was a little bit more skilled than they thought. One took point and led with a flurry of punches, which Takao began to dodge. As he began to retaliate with a fist of his own, the air was knocked out of him as the second assailant dropped into the fight. Staggering back, Takao came to the conclusion that not wearing the suit was a really fucking stupid idea. He desperately tried to dodge another hit, but the heaviness of his human body didn't let him completely dodge, and so he took hits and felt them too. His rebuttal to these actions was to grab one fighters head, and slams it into the wall of the alley, before slugging him in the face. Lastly the final thug became desperate. He pulled out his gun and pointed it at Takao, before realizing that his ribs were now crushed and his arm was broken. Takao began to zone into a mode that he obtained from the hunts. The man was downed and Takao began to slug him in the face before holding his hand back. He realized there was a lady present. He turned around and saw Satsuki gripping her knees in a corner, resting her back against a trash can, shaking. Takao exhaled and shook off some of the pain. His clothing was ruined. Walking up to her, he outstretched his hand which she hesitated before taking. He slowly took her up, and was about to say something charming before BAM. That last, blonde headed thug that followed them in, finally decided to show up and brought a pole and a brick with him. Takao panicked as he realized that his right eye somehow went black, before eating ground. Blood was shooting out of his face as he began to get up, before being slammed down again by a pole. He heard a scream as he realized that he might actually die there. He heard the clank of a pole falling on the ground. He looked up from his left side and realized the bastard was gonna smash his head in with a brick. His body felt heavy, and realized that his time was spent. He closed his eyes as he heard a sickening clank and the dropping of a body, followed by a soft weeping. Satsuki began to prop his body up as he realized that she used the pole to slam it into the blondies head. He woozily got up before leaning against the wall and getting his bearings. He smiled toward the girl who saved his life. They both agreed to go back to his house as it began to get dark. .... Takao downed 6 painkillers and looked at himself in the mirror. Lip split, eyelid torn, swollen knuckles, and a nasty gash along his cheek, along with multiple bruises were found on his body. In his room, Satsuki slept on his bed, in his clothes, curled in a ball out of cold and fear. He washed his face and hands again, and looked at his reflection. He finally had stopped the bleeding. The bags under his eyes seemed to have stood out more than they had that morning. He turned the light off to the bathroom, and went downstairs to the living room with a "tmp tmp tmp" to his footsteps. Ichirou was no where to be seen. His hand found the remote somewhere on the counter, and the tv flicked on with a low hum. The light of the idiot box filled the living room. He stared at some comedy show that ran as he reminisced about the day. "That shit was fucking insane. How the hell did I wind up here again?"-End Day 3-

-The Rest of the Time- "Do all your dates get jumped by Yakuza?""Do all your dates go this well?"The banter began again the morning after, over breakfast, with Takao looking like shit, of course. He felt like he was beaten by Yakuza, and in fact, he was. "Look, I'm sorry you got involved with all of this. It got out of hand."Nah, this happens to me on a regular basis" Takao replied as he got up and began to clear the table. Satsuki began to gather what little things she had, and realized that she had places to be due to yesterday's incident. With a small smile, she walked up to Takao, kissed him on the lips and said, "It was fun, lets do it again sometime, k?" leaving the boy dumbstruck with a smile. The days passed by, school happened, and the flow of life for Takao Sato began to go back to normal. The swim team became fearsome again, his grades were through the roof, and now he had an amazing girlfriend who could scare the shit outta anyone provided she had a stick in her hand. Memories began to fill up. They went water parks, cafes, a zoo (to Takao's dismay), and finally got to go see that movie. Life was good. One evening, in the middle of a text session, the ringing in Takao's ears began. He frowned as he began to search for his suit, H-gun and other equipment. After doing so, before it was time, he typed, "Gotta go, Talk to ya later. Love ya."He was going to come back no matter what.
