[IC] Kamen Riders Garu and 3z

[Keyblade87]

"Hey Mira-chan." Toshiro said leaning against the lockers near where the girl was standing. The girl was clearly beautiful black hair the fell in waves down to the small of her back accented the round face and brown eyes the girl had. It also accented the curved and well developed body that had the boys of the school drooling over the very ground she walked on.
"Oh Toshiro-kun," the girl said clearly blushing at the fact that he was even talking to her. "You sure know how to surprise a girl huh?" she said making it obvious that she was now flirting by purposely trailing a hand down her hair in front of her and down the rest of her making Toshiro notice just how many buttons of the white blouse she wore as part of the schools uniform she had undone.
"Just one of my many talents," he said looking over his shoulder at the crowd of guys all staring with their jaws seemingly on the floor. He grinned at them but kept looking around, he wasn't worried about them, he was worried about his cousin who seemed to appear out of no where whenever he made a move on a girl. "Anyway I was wondering if you would wanna go catch a movie after school." he said smiling in his now usual cocky half grin. Just before Mira went to answer however here eyes grew in shock and Toshiro's heart sank. Damn it Ryu he thought to himself

[TheMM00s3]

Ryu had only been gone for a few minutes, having to go to the bathroom, but that never seemed to stop Toshiro from "putting on the moves". He saw any second away from his younger cousin as an opportunity. The unnaturally short boy waked down the hall, where he left his cousin, looking to the floor as he did. Many of the kids around him gave him strange looks and whispered to each other. Ryu was not a popular kid at school, in truth he had no friends other than Toshiro. In fact, he was probably the most bullied kid at school, but it never really bothered him.

The young boy finally found his older cousin, once again trying to pick up a girl. This time was slightly different than the others though, this time Toshiro was talking to a girl by the name of "Mira", possibly the most popular girl this school had ever known. It appeared as if Toshiro had started shooting big and it seemed like he had her hooked too. Ryu seemed to have interrupted just before the girl could answer, as he grabbed the back of Toshiro's shirt and climbed up onto his shoulders, resting his hands on top of his cousin's head.

He waved slightly at the girl and spoke through sign language, making sure to sign in front of Toshiro's face so he could translate, "Seemed like I showed up at a bad time, forgive my interruption." He then pulled a small card out of his pocket, it had a number and Toshiro's name on it. He usually carried them around as situations like this seemed to happen all too often. He through the card to the girl and nodded slightly, his emotionless face never changing.

[Keyblade87]

Toshiro sighed and translated and smiled knowingly at Mira. The girl took the card waved and walked down the hall to where here friends stood watching and now laughing hysterically.
"You know one of these days you're going to have the balls to say something to a girl and I'm gunna climb on your shoulders so you know how it feels." he said looking up at his cousin as they walked down the hall. It was lunch time and the cafeteria was swarming with hungry teen guys and girls who acted as though they weren't hungry but really were starving. Toshiro hefted Ryu off his shoulders and down next to him in line. As they got their lunches and sat down Toshiro mostly played with his food rather than eating it. He couldn't shake the feeling that something big, life changing big, was going to happen today.

[TheMM00s3]

Ryu shook his head at Toshiro's comment as they got in line for lunch. When they had their food and sat down, the young orphan looked over at his cousin, tilting his head slightly. Poking Toshiro on the shoulder he signed to him, "I know that look, you really think something big is going to happen?" The small boy rested his hand against his chin for a second, before signing again, "I wonder what's in store for us." After shrugging a little, Ryu looked at his food. School food never tasted very good, it always looked like some science experiment gone wrong. Not like the Ramen at the small shop Toshiro worked at, the cook there new had to make food.

Suddenly, a scream came from outside. Ryu turned around, seeing a large group of students flood into the cafeteria, a look of horror on each of their faces. The small boy tugged at Toshiro's sleeve and quickly signed, "Looks like somethings wrong, we need to help." Just as he was doing so a large, mutated looking creature stormed inside. It looked almost like a hyena, but walked on two feet and had creepy mutated features. It looked just like the strange monster that had killed both cousin's parents. Ryu's eyes opened slightly, his fist clenched down, this couldn't be happening... Not again..

[Keyblade87]

Toshiro's eyes widened at the sight of the monster. His mind flashed back to that night, he could still smell the breath of the creature.
No! Not here not again! he thought as he stood readying himself to attack.
"Ryu go find somewhere to hide for now I'll come find you as soon as I'm done with this thing. He's going to pay for what he did to our parents." he said before running off toward the monster. He lunged at the beast throwing a punch before getting knocked back sliding across the ground.

[TheMM00s3]

Ryu jumped from the seat at Toshiro was knocked to the floor, a small gasp fled his lips. You're not going to be the Hero today cousin. The small boy thought to himself as he rushed forward. Before the monster could attack Toshiro again, Ryu jumped in front of him guarding his downed cousin. The monster swung it's grotesque arm forward, the strike launching Ryu far back into a wall. He fell to the ground, slowly trying to get up, his eyes still on the disfigured beast. What the hell is this thing? It's definitely too strong for either of us to fight off. Ryu's eyes narrowed slightly as he got to his feet, bent over from the pain and clenching onto the arm that took the brunt of the attack. They'd need a miracle to beat this thing.

[Keyblade87]

Toshiro growled seeing his cousin thrown so far back. He leapt to his feet ignoring the searing pain in his chest. Charging again at the creature he was ready this time and as he moved everything seemed to slow down, the monsters movements became predictable and easily blocked. his forearm came up and took the blow for him. He glared into the pitch black eyes of the monster and as he did a bright light began shining from beneath his white t-shirt. Distracted the monster hurled him back and he hit a table collapsing it under his weight. The light got brighter and his necklace lifted from within his shirt hovering in front of him.
"Toshiro Sekai....Will you trust in you ancestors and use their power to protect those you hold most dear." a voice said. As the voice spoke the pendant flashed in time with the words.
"What the hell?" Toshiro said before turning his attention from the flashing necklace to see the monster moving toward a group of students. "Alright yeah I'll use their power anything to protect people." he said standing and running toward the group slamming his shoulder into the creature. As he did the students scattered leaving only Toshiro Ryu and the creature in the room. As Toshiro stood there staring down the monster he felt a weight on his waist and looked down. On his waist sat a large belt buckle with what looked like a sliding track inside a wolves mouth. Seconds later an object that looked like a gold version of the silver pendant he wore.
"Take this medallion and do what your heart tells you." the voice said. Toshiro took the medallion in his right hand and slid it onto the track. Closing his left hand into a fist and crossing his arm in front of him so his fist faces the celling.
"Henshin!" he cried slapping the wolves head shut only for it to spring open again. Taking his preparatory stance from martial arts he stood as a ball of light enveloped him. Within the ball of light he stood staring face to face with someone who looked nearly identical to him but there was something off. The person before him wore a wolf's pelt and had visible war paint all over his body. The man nodded and before he knew it the flash of light was over and Toshiro was covered head to toe in what felt like armor. The black body suit was covered in red and silver markings. Armor covered his thighs, calves, forearms, shoulders, and chest. The helmet looked as though a wolf had bitten down on his head. Toshiro looked down at his hands and clenched them into fists. In front of him the monster growled and Toshiro grinned under the helmet.
"Alright, Game on freak!" he said running toward the monster and punching it square in the chest making it stagger backward.

[TheMM00s3]

Ryu covered his face at a bright light surrounded Toshiro, making it hard for him to see. What is going on? After a short time, the light faded and where his cousin was standing just a second ago, now stood a warrior covered in armor. The young boy could barely hear the warrior speak before launching an attack on the creature, Wait... That's... Toshiro? A look of surprise spread across his face, looks like they got the miracle they were looking for. Ryu watched his cousin as he fought the monster, thinking to himself as he watched the battle, I want to help out too, but I'm in no state to be fighting that thing... Then Ryu had an idea, That's it! I'll create an armor of my own!

[Keyblade87]

Toshiro continued his assault on the monster throwing it into a wall and bashing it with a barrage of punches and knee jabs.
"Alright time to see what this power can do." he said snapping the jaw of the wolf down twice. Doing so created an audible wolf's howl and surrounded him in a silver energy field. Beneath the helmet Toshiro grinned and ran toward the monster punching him with all of the energy gathered, which had formed into a wolf's head around his fist as he punched, destroying the creature. On instinct Toshiro was able to cancel out his transformation, he moved toward Ryu and knelt next to him.
"Hows that for revenge." he said grinning and hefting his cousin onto his shoulders.

[TheMM00s3]

After the fight, a wide spread announcement was made, evacuating all staff and students until further notice. As the two were escorted out of the school, Ryu signed to his cousin, "I guess this begins a new chapter for you, huh?" He rested his hands on top of Toshiro's head. You can't always be the one protecting me... I will be strong enough to protect you as well. A look of determination covered the usually emotionless boy. He began planning out in his head how he would create his own armor. Eventually they made it back home, where Ryu hid in their room, drawing up plans. It seemed like minutes pasted by as the small boy finished his plans and looked at the clock, he got up walking up to Toshiro and speaking, his voice was quite and monotone, "You'll be late for work, we better get going before this ends up being your 4th day in a row."

[Keyblade87]

"Oh shit I keep forgetting about work." Toshiro said getting up and dressed before heading down to where his black motorcycle sat waiting. He never took it to school but he did use it for work and personal travel. He climbed on and waited to see where his cousin was going to sit he either sat in the Sidecar or on the back seat of the bike. Either way Toshiro was tired and knew he was going to screw something up at work.

[TheMM00s3]

Ryu followed his cousin to the bike, sitting in the small sidecar connected to it. This was probably one of the young boy's favorite part of the day, while his cousin worked Ryu was allowed to sit at a both alone and eat his favorite ramen dish. He couldn't think of anything better, but of course, it might not always happen. If Toshiro kept showing up late to work he would surely be fired, Ryu was actually kind of surprised he hadn't already been let go. Seeing as his performance record was everything but respectable.

[Keyblade87]

As soon as Ryu was situated Toshiro sped off breaking every rule of the road imaginable on his way to work and when he finally got there and punched in he smiled seeing he was only a minute late.
"Alright Ryu I'll be done soon you know the drill." he said smiling and getting right into work. In all honesty Toshiro loved his job and loved cooking, but he couldn't pursue more than simply cooking here because with his cousin needing him all the time and being terrible with people he couldn't advance or go to school to learn what he needed. Most people thought it would create a rift between the two but the traumatic experiences they shared connected them more than brothers.

[TheMM00s3]

Ryu nodded at his cousin, as he got out of the side car and walked into the small ramen shop. The young boy sat down at his favorite booth which, as usual, was in the corner of the shop and away from most of the crowd. One of the girls who worked at the shop as a waitress walked up to the booth.

"The usual, I'm assuming." The girl spoke with a tired and irritated tone. It seemed the girl was not in the best mood. Ryu assumed that she was just tired from trying to juggle a job and school at the same time, because it's the same tone that Toshiro gets when he doesn't get enough of his "beauty sleep". But whatever the matter was, the young genius didn't really care and simply nodded at her question. Not before long a bowl of ramen noodles was placed in front of the boy. Ryu could tell that his cousin had made it by the smell. Toshiro knew how to cook, that's for sure. It at least made up for his lack of performance in any other activity, especially ones dealing with anything academic. As Ryu slowly picked up his chopsticks and began eating, the door of the shop opened with a chime and in walked in a peculiar looking girl. The young boy rolled his eyes, this was definitely going to be a target of one of Toshiro's "charming" encounters.

[Keyblade87]

Toshio looked up from the ramwn he was making to greet the new customer and stopped mid sentence. The girl walking in was gorgeous long blone hair beautiful blue eyes the works. He smiled and internaly kicked himself as she walked to the counter an ordered. She ordered the same thing Ryu ordered and he watched as she walked directly over to Ryi and asked him if she could sit with him. He finished his order and quickly started hers. Before long she was sitting with Ryi and he carried the order over to her.

"Alright a number 4 for the beautiful lady. And Ryu be nice to this one alright?" He said smiling and shooting a look to his cousin.

[TheMM00s3]

Ryu gave the girl a strange look as she walked up to the counter to order, she had a strange aura around her. Something that he only felt when he was around his cousin. He was staring to become intrigued, he wanted to know who this girl was and what was so different about her than any normal person. The young boy could hear her order, even if it was just barely, it seemed she had the same taste in ramen he did. When the newcomer finally got her order and turned to find a seat, it seemed that the placed had been filled, that is besides Ryu's other halve if the booth. So naturally, the girl walked up to him and asked if she could sit down. Ryu's scrunched up ever so slightly in thought, he definitely felt as if this girl different than anyone else, a good different. And so, Ryu did the unthinkable, he gestured for her to sit. Once she sat, Toshiro came shooting over to the table. The young genius rolled his eyes at his cousin, "No promises." He signed, "Just don't try one of your master plans, we all know what happened last time."

[Keyblade87]

Toshiro glared at his cousin.
"Yeah you climbed on my shoulders." He signed back stopping when the girl chuckled.
"Let me see if i understand this correctly, You," she said pointing to Toshiro. "Like to try and get a date with pretty girls, Im flattered by the way. And you," she said pointing to Ryu. "Are either super shy and clingy or had a traumatic experience that makes you that way and so you climb up on his shoulders." She finished with a smile before signing . "By the way i can sign as well."

[TheMM00s3]

Ryu stared at the girl, confusion plastered across his usually emotionless face. Ryu looked over at his cousin, almost seeming like he wanted conformation that what just happened was real and he wasn't just imagining things. It seemed this girl was not like the other dimwitted people who walked through the hallways of their school, Ryu started like this girl. She was interesting and Ryu liked interesting peopel. Just look at his cousin for instance. Ryu, slowly began to sign, "It seems like you're correct with your assumption." He looked over at Toshiro, giving him a nod, as if to show his approval of the girl. Something Ryu had never done before.

[Keyblade87]

Toshiro stood before her floored. No one had ever done that let alone the fact that Ryu approved. Grinning Toshiro turned up the charm and waved away the girls money.
"Its on the house." He said his half grin plastered on his face. "I'm Toshiro and this is my cousin Ryu its nice to meet you." He said warmly.
"Nice to meet you both as well I'm Ino, Ino Koshiki." She said with a smile before turning to her food and digging in.
Holly shit I think I'm in love. he thought to himself as he returned to work.

[TheMM00s3]

As Toshiro continued with his work day, Ino and Ryu started talking. They talked about their past, their favorite things, you know normal conversation topics. And Ryu made sure not to mention anything about the "monsters" and the "powers" Toshiro had acquired. They seemed to be getting along swimmingly, not to mention their taste in food seemed to be oddly similar, which didn't hurt. The people in the shop started noticing, all the regulars of the restaurant were staring over at the two, wide eyed in awe. This was the first person who was ever allowed to sit at Ryu's booth, let alone communicate with the youngster.
