Sweat poured down furiously from Niijima's face, as once Shaz had taken away the bag of trash, his hiding spot was completely revealed (he's squatting in the trash can). The boy sighed in relief, as Shaz walked off. '[i]He didn't notice me...[/i]' He thought, as he picked a banana peel off from his head. '[i]Kiro, my boy, I'm not sure if you'll be able to take this guy, even with your kung fu skills.[/i]' He pulled out his PDA, as he got to work on tapping. '[i]Darn it, this will ruin my entire plan if he gets crushed now! However, it's still always good to root for the winning team...[/i]' He weighed his options, as he slowly disappeared back into the trashcan.

(Later, near Ryozanpaku...)

Niijima peaked around a bush, as he trailed Kiro and Ally back to the dojo. He poked at a few things on his PDA, as he laughed silently. "Looks like I'll be killing two birds with one stone today." He whispered. "My original mission was to have Kiro aware of his new threat, but now..." He continued to whisper to himself, as he crawled through the bushes to continue to follow the pair in secret. "I'll get to see where the kid's been getting all of his amazing power from!" He practically screamed this, as he couldn't help but get excited.

"Huh?" Kiro turned his head to look behind him, as he could have sworn he heard someone. "Must've been nothing." He shrugged to Ally, as they continued walking.

Niijima shivered slightly, as he lied very low to the ground, holding his mouth to keep himself from making a peep. '[i]Get a hold of yourself, Niijima![/i]' He slapped himself. '[i]You're a professional![/i]' He reminded himself.

"We're home, guys!" Kiro yelled out, as he and Ally entered the dojo's grounds. He was slightly nervous today, as the mysterious Master Rekin was suppose to teach him. After Shin whipped him, treated him like a horse, and almost killed him, he just wanted to go back to Asuka. In comparison, the latter was a much more gentle master, he could only imagine what this new teacher had to offer to him. 

Bakusa was training as usual, as he stood in front of several dozen stone statues. He took in a deep breath, as he charged at his 'opponents'. The Muay Thai God of Destruction threw about ten punches, ten elbow blows, ten kicks, and twenty knee blows, all within the span of about a second. He let out his breath, as he stood on the other side of the statues now. Each one crumbled to pieces, as all that was left now of the statues were their bases. He completely obliterated them all.
