Chapter 3 - Kiken

(The Next day)

Amasa woke up late today... Really Late.

Amasa: CRAP! WHY DIDN'T MY ALARM GO OFF?!

Amasa jumped out of bed, and ran downstairs. Sitting in the living room was her grandmother.

Amasa's Grandmother: Amasa? Why are you in such a hurry?

Amasa: SCHOOL GRANDMA! SCHOOL!

Amasa's Grandmother: But I turned your alarm's off...

Amasa: .... WHAT!? WHY THE HECK WOULD YOU DO THAT?!

Amasa's Grandmother: There's been a lot of crimes happening recently. Actually, scientists has recognized a new human species.

Amasa: Human species? Grandma, what the heck are you talking about? "Humans" are their own species.

Amasa's Grandmother: Well, Y'know there are different species of birds and other animals...

Amasa: Yeah I guess so... Anyways, NEW HUMAN SPECIES?

Amasa's grandmother: Yes, that's exactly what I said. Apparently, the look like humans and eat humans. Scientist has no clue on where they originated but they're now here in Japan.

Amasa walked over to where her grandmother was sitting on the couch, watching the news.

Amasa: T-This has to be some type of April fools prank right?

Reporter: Scientist also discovered that there are people with magical abilities. Apparently they're human, but somehow they have powers.

Reporter#2: Yeah like superman or something... I wanted to be Superman.

Reporter: We urge all persons with these abilities to help destroy this new species. Scientist has observed that Guns seem to have no effect on them.

Reporter#2: We hope that somehow, these people with abilities are able to kill these beings.

Reporter: Here's the catch though, In order to legally eliminate these beings, you must get a license. Any age that's 15 or older are allowed. We also urge that when you get your license that you keep your identity secret.

Amasa: Why though?

Reporter#2: Scientist say that this new human species will be known as "Kiken", so they will be calling the license "Kiken Hunter License"

Amasa: But all Kiken means is "Dangerous"... Aren't they going to give them a better name?

Amasa's grandmother: Why are you so concerned with their name? Are you a Kiken?

Amasa: Please, If I were one you'd been dead by now gramps.

Reporter: Yeah, I don't really like the name but that's irrelevant. Anyways, what I forgot to tell everyone is that the Kiken can remember faces easily, so if you Attack one but fail to kill it.... It will hunt you down.... And it will kill you.

Reporter#2: They have incredible mental prowess which allows them to adapt to many things, Including your fighting style.

Reporter: The strange thing about all this new information is how are scientists just now figuring out about the humans with abilities. Convenient right? I think they've kno-

Reporter#2: Hey!

Reporter: Anyways...

Amasa: You Guys Know that they've been known! It's no coincidence! THEY EXPERIMENTED ON PEOPLE LIKE ME!

Amasa's grandmother: Amasa calm down. I know. I'm pretty sure everyone knows. Now, are you going to be one of these "Kiken Hunters" or whatever?

Amasa: I might do it if my friends are.

Amasa's Grandmother: Friends?

Amasa: Oh yeah right! I totally forgot to tell you yesterday but I made some friends! Four of them to be exact. But the cool thing about it is that they all have abilities! Just like me!

Amasa's grandmother smiled, but it wasn't any ordinary smile... It was a smile of relief.

Amasa's grandmother: I'm glad.

Amasa: Can I go out for a while?

Amasa's grandmother: Yes but be careful. Don't forget about the man-eating things.

Amasa: I won't (Amasa said excitingly)

Amasa quickly put on her shoes but then remembered that she forgot about get dressed.

She took her shoes back off and ran upstairs. She put her hair back with a hair pin because she was in a rush. She also washed her face and got dressed. She put on a black hoodie and some ripped jeans.

Amasa then ran back downstairs, all excitingly...

She put her shoes back on and ran out the door.

Amasa: W-Wait... I don't have their numbers! I totally should've asked for their numbers or at least their addresses! No worries though Because Kenji lives in my neighborhood somewhere. I just gotta knock on every door.

So, Amasa started knocking on people's doors, looking for Kenji.

Let's just say that it didn't go too well.

One of her neighbors got really made and threw a flip flop at her. Another flat up slammed the door in her face. Rude right?

Finally she knocked on a door and a little girl answered.

Little girl: H-Hello?

Amasa: Oh, I'm here to see if Kenji... Uhhh

Amasa(Thoughts): WHAT WAS HIS SURNAME!! I FORGOT!

Amasa: Does a teenage boy named Kenji live here. He started school yesterday.. with me and some other kids.

Little girl: Why? Are you here to kidnap him?

Amasa:N-No! Why would I do that! Whats wrong with your head! I'm just here to see KENJI!

Then Amasa saw Sakura in the back.

Amasa: S-SAKURA! HEY!

Sakura: Oh Amasa! We're all in here!

The little girl let Amasa in and she walked up to Sakura.

Amasa: Where is everyone?

Sakura: In kenji's room.

Amasa: Oh okay, then why are y-

Amasa: Is that yogurt?! Does Kenji have some in his fridge?

Sakura: Yea!

Amasa grinned and was about to run off to the fridge but then she remembered that she's in someone else's house.

Amasa: W-Where's the fridge?

Sakura: Oo~ You're trying to eat all his yogurt aren't you?!

Amasa: Yea but so what? I ran out!

Sakura grabbed Amasa's hand and ran to the kitchen, where the fridge was.

Sakura opened the fridge to show Amasa all the yogurt Kenji had.

Amasa's eyes lit up.

Amasa: S-So Many!

Sakura: I know right!

Amasa took 5 of them and they then Sakura showed Amasa the way to kenji's room where everyone else was sitting and talking... Except for Kazuki.

When amasa and Sakura walked in, everyone noticed that amasa had five yogurts.

Kenji stood up quickly.

Kenji: T-That Had better be from your house!

Amasa: Nope.

Kenji: THOSE ARE FOR MY MOTHER!

Amasa: So what? She has a ton. Losing five wouldn't be too much.

Kenji: I only told Sakura she could get ONE!

Amasa: Why only Sakura? You got a crush on her or something?

Kenji: Heck no! You want me to strangle you?!

Amasa: Go ahead, I'd like to see you try!

Kenji: You asked for i-

Kazuki: You guys are so noisy. And immature.

Amasa and Kenji: WHAT DID YOU CALL ME!?

Sakura and Shinji laughed but all Kazuki did was sigh.

Amasa, with a smirk on her face, opened all the yogurts she had at the same time and sat down on a bean bag. Sakura sat down after Amasa.

Kenji: I'm going to murder you one day.

Amasa: Please, if anyone's murdering anyone it's me... Yea me... Murder- Murderer. I'm a mur-

Amasa stopped talking. She put her yogurt down and walked towards the door holding her mouth.

Amasa: Uh...Where's the bathroom?

Sakura: What's wrong?

Amasa: Nothing.... Where's the bathroom?

Kenji: It's on the left 1 door from my room but seriously, what's wr-

Amasa walked out of the room and went into the bathroom.

She sat on the toilet and started thinking.

Amasa(Thoughts): N-No I'm not a murderer. It was... I was... No...No

Amasa heart pounded faster and her breathing became scarce.

Amasa: N-No. No I wouldn't do it. I won't do it again. I'm so-

Sakura: Amasa! Are you okay. What are you talking about?

Amasa: I'm f-fine. I think I drank some spoiled milk this morning.

Kenji: Well don't stink up my bathroom!

Sakura: Kenji, you're not funny... Hey Amasa! Get out as soon as possible, we need to talk about something.

Amasa: Y-Yea

Amasa heard their footsteps, they were headed back to the room.

Amasa sighed.

Amasa(Thoughts): N-No, that was in the past. N-No, I didnt murder anyone... It didn't happen...It didn't. It didn't. It didn't. It didn't. IT DIDN'T! D-Dont blame yourself Amasa.

Amasa took a deep breath and left the bathroom.

Amasa(Thoughts): I'm just over reacting... It's fine.

When she walked into the room, she saw Kenji eating her yogurt.

Amasa: NO WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?!

Kenji: It came out of my fridge, so it's mine.

Amasa: Nu-uh! You said it was your mother's!

Kenji: Yes-Huh! It's still came from where I live so it's mine!

Amasa: Geez! No worries! Don't ask me to share any of my snacks with you when I get some!

Kenji: Yeah whatever!

Amasa: Whatever my butt!

Shinji: You guys sound like a bunch of toddlers.

Sakura: You're one to talk! You sound like a toddler 24/7! And what's the point of wearing headphones around your neck if you never use them!

Shinji: W-What?! I do use them! You're just jealous!

Sakura: Jealous of What exactly!?

Shinji: Me!

Shinji stuck his tongue out at Sakura while Amasa and Kenji also continued to argue.

The only quiet one was Kazuki.

He only groaned.

Kazuki: SHUT UP!

The room got quiet.

Amasa: Who do you think you are mr. gloomy!

Sakura: Yeah!

Kazuki: Sakura, Shut up. You started an argument with Shinji for no absolute reason. Also Amasa and Kenji are acting like a bickering couple! You guys are all annoying! If I remember correctly, we were SUPPOSED to be talking about something important!

The room went quiet.. again.

Shinji: I mean, he ain't wrong.

Everyone but Shinji: Shut up.

Everyone sat down, It was quite for a moment until Kenji cleared his throat.

Kenji: So as you guys should know, Scientist have discovered a new human species. But the cool th-

Amasa: Cool?!

Kenji: Yea Shut up!

Amasa: No you!

Kenji: You wanna figh-

Kazuki: You both need to shut up. I'll finish...

Anyways, there has been an outbreak on this new human species, now recognized as "Kiken". Since we all have abilities, We think we should all become Kiken Hunters.... As a team. We'll work as a team to defeat the Kikens. I don't know if we get paid or not. If not I'm out though.

Amasa: Of course you are Mr. Mysterious!

Kazuki: What's with you and these "Mr" names your giving me. My name's Kazuki. Or would you rather be the only one who isn't allowed to call me Kazuki?

Amasa: I'll call you what I want! " Mr. I think I'm cool"

Kazuki: You're really p-

Kenji: Who's childish now? Mr. Mysterious!

Kazuki: Not you too.

Kenji: Yep

Amasa: Hey! Don't copy me copycat!

Sakura: You tell him girl!

Shinji: Yeah!

Kenji: SHUT UP BYSTANDERS!

Amasa: Shut up! You are my yogurt!

Kenji: MY YOGURT!

Kazuki: CAN YOU GUYS JUST SHUT THE HECK UP?!

Amasa: Nope...

The room was silent for a moment but then everyone burst out laughing... Except for Kazuki...of course.

They all decided to become Kiken Huntersafter plenty more distractions and detours.

They said that the when they get to school tomorrow, they'll discuss everythingbecause it was already 1pm and they all needed to get home.

But the question of how to become Kiken Hunter remains....
