The Pasta That Will Walk The Path of Heaven (Tachibana)

[iatethepuzzlepiece]

Tachibana tilted his head slightly, not really understanding the… prophecy? Advice? He wasn’t really sure what to consider it as. “I do my best. I did a little research on how this was supposed to be done before I set out, and I do really love making it.”

[dontcrumblethetofu]

"And with more time and practice you’ll be a pro." Tendou finished his bowl. “Not better than a pro but, that’s still good.”

[iatethepuzzlepiece]

Tachibana took the empty bowl and washed it. “I’m not lookign to be a pro or anything… I just want to feed hungry people. As long as they enjoy it, that’s good enough.”

[dontcrumblethetofu]

"Hmm..." Tendou smiled and reached into his pocket. "So how much do I owe you?"

[dontcrumblethetofu]

[iatethepuzzlepiece]

Tachibana wasn’t sure whether to be happy about the praise or insulted that whoever this was was saying he could make it better. “Thank you. I don’t really have a whole lot of experience cooking. It’s just something that I enjoy.” It kept him from getting wrapped up in the past, and he never went hungry.

[dontcrumblethetofu]

Tendou paused and pointed to the sky. “Grandmother said this… During meals an angel descends, for it is a sacred time.” He lowered his hand and returned to his meal. “As long as you handle the food with care and do your best, good results will come from it.”

Tachibana smiled as his customer ate, then checked his pots, put more spaghetti in to cook, and sat on his stool again. The man seemed to be enjoying it.. maybe? It was hard to tell when he had such a serious face. Sort of like Hajime.

[dontcrumblethetofu]

After eating another fork of pasta Tendou, put down his utensils and looked over his shopkeeper. “Not bad.” Tendou explained. “I could make better but, there is love and care in this meal. You’ll get better…” He added before eating another fork full.

Tachibana nodded, straining out the spaghetti into a bowl and ladling tomato sauce from one of the pots over it. He set a chunk of bread on the side and set it in front of Tendou with a smile. “There you go, sir.”

[dontcrumblethetofu]

Tendou nodded as he grabbed a fork and spoon. He picked up some pasta on the fork and twirled it on the spoon before eating it. “Hmm…” He reached back and twirled some more.

Tendou walked down a busy street looking at the stores and restaurants for something to eat. “Damn it Kagami…” He sighed. “I knew you’d eat all the food I made.”

Tendou looked over and saw something interesting. “Spaghetti cart? That’s different…” He then walked forward and sat at the cart. “Yo?”

[iatethepuzzlepiece]

The man running the cart looked up from checking one of the pots of sauce. “Welcome!” He smiled a bit, glad to have a customer. Business wasn’t faring too well lately. “What can I get you?” 

[dontcrumblethetofu]

"Hmm… Just something basic, just a bowl with a tomato sauce preferable." Tendou responded.

[dontcrumblethetofu]

"It does fit." Aya said. “It fits perfectly.”

"Of course it does." Tendou added.

"Glad you agree." The commander then turned to the guards and said. “Fire!” And with that there were gun shots.

[tempestandtorrent]

"Whaaaat?!" Oh shit. Jen flinched back as the gunshots sounded throughout the locker room. She opened her once the noise stopped, not really sure what she was expecting to see. 

[dontcrumblethetofu]

The room was quiet as the gunshots stopped and Jen opened her eyes. She didn't see much difference from what she saw before, guards guns drawn as the stood beside Aya and Tendou still stood where he was. She didn't have time to make much of things when she heard.

"Guns like those have no chance in harming me." Tendou's voice let out. With more time to focus, Jen could make it out now that Tendou's chest was covered in his rider armour and that he had already locked in his Zecter in his rider belt initiating his henshin. Tendou only let out a small smile and the rest of his rider form covered his body.

"Tch." Aya let out. "Well that didn't work." She nodded towards Tendou as the two guards turned into normal unmolted worms and ran towards Tendou.

"I’m letting him stay in my old house in return for helping me fix it up." Shizuka nodded. "He’s a nice guy. We’re friends."

"…Wait since when have you been going back to the Dark Shadow grounds?" Sakura frowned at her.

"A couple months."Shizuka shrugged. "It’s still my house."

[dontcrumblethetofu]

Tendou looked over at Sakura confused. “If it’s her house why would it be bad if she went back to it? Also if Godai is living there you wouldn’t have to worry much about anything.”

He then looked back over to Shizuka. “It’s nice that you’re letting him stay at your house. My grandmother said this… If you receive a little kindness, give them a large serving.”

[brightcoloredbouken-blog]

"Because, technically, it’s not. SGS owns the property now. We haven’t assigned her, or anyone else any work there…" Sakura glanced over to Shizuka curiously.

"Exactly!! It’s falling apart!" Shizuka pouted. "I went to go fix is up  because it’s still my home even if SGS owns it and won’t let me live there anymore… But they’re not doing anything with it so… I just thought I’d try and take care of it, and Godai showed up and he helped, so I figured he could stay, and then he protected me from Yaiba." Shizuka looked over at Tendou. "He’s like crazy powerful right? Tell her! He took Yaiba’s attacks head on and didn’t even feel it!"

[dontcrumblethetofu]

"As I said, Godai is an interesting fellow and definitely a strong person. He works hard for others smiles and is a person I respect greatly." He then paused and looked over at Sakura. "You all let her home go to ruin, that seems unfair. Perhaps next time Akashi comes and eats all our peas I'll have to mention this to him."

[dontcrumblethetofu]

The blade ran right into the Worm’s gut causing it to explode. Tendou gave a small clap. “Good reactions, had he not though he’d get your by surprise that might not have worked.”

"Well done Mint!" Aya congratulated her as she walked forward. “I’m sorry I had to be careful with this situation and I wasn’t sure you weren’t a fake either.”

"Can’t trust anyone right Commander?" Tendou added.

"You stop your act! There is no point in pretending, Guards!" The guards pulled out their guns and pointed them at Tendou. 

[tempestandtorrent]

"Wait, commander!" The redhead lurched forward, cancelling her transformation. "We can’t be completely sure he’s a worm—I mean, I did greet him at the door—could have been possible that that all happened and he snuck out, but I think someone would have caught it!" She furrowed her brow, looking at Odagiri. "Something about this just doesn’t fit together." 

[dontcrumblethetofu]

"It does fit." Aya said. "It fits perfectly."

"Of course it does." Tendou added.

"Glad you agree." The commander then turned to the guards and said. "Fire!" And with that there were gun shots.

[dontcrumblethetofu]

"I didn’t know people were being killed, I was unsure of when the worms would have striked. And it’s unfortunate…" Aya frowned. “I couldn’t prevent this but, had I sounded the alarm or alerted everyone the worms would have easily escaped. They can move as super speeds the smallest chance would allow them to escape.”

"That is true." Tendou added as he looked over at Jen. “Rather sound reasoning too. You would need to surprise them to keep them from escaping and attacking them before they moulted. Speaking of moulted, you should probably duck.”

As he said this the worm that mimicked the secretary swung at Jen’s head.

[tempestandtorrent]

That was sound reasoning, the way she put it. Odagiri was smart; she wouldn’t risk all of Skyforce in a situation like this. Something still seemed wrong about that explanation, though…and it was a little self-centered, but she wanted to say it nonetheless.

"Commander Odagiri, you could have asked me and I’d be on the job to root them out—" Hearing Tendou suggesting her next move, Jen glanced over at the worm and dodged its haymaker, thrusting the blade forward right around its center of gravity. 

[dontcrumblethetofu]

The blade ran right into the Worm's gut causing it to explode. Tendou gave a small clap. "Good reactions, had he not though he'd get your by surprise that might not have worked."

"Well done Mint!" Aya congratulated her as she walked forward. "I'm sorry I had to be careful with this situation and I wasn't sure you weren't a fake either."

"Can't trust anyone right Commander?" Tendou added.

"You stop your act! There is no point in pretending, Guards!" The guards pulled out their guns and pointed them at Tendou. 

[tempestandtorrent]

Jennifer grit her teeth, watching the scene play out. Had she really just escorted a worm into Skyforce? A sickening feeling bubbled in her gut. She didn’t stop screwing up, could she.

She didn’t want to believe Aya, but she had known her commander longer, and trusted her as opposed to someone she’d only read about. She bit her lower lip, wracked with indecision. “U-until I know who’s telling the truth…I’m sorry!” She held up her right arm, pressing the button on the device around her wrist. “Cross changer!” 

Once the silver suit and helmet formed around her, she withdrew her Bringer sword. Spinning the long, thin blade, she glanced behind her to Aya. “Commander, I’ll handle the worms, and…” Jen looked back to the man in front of her.

[dontcrumblethetofu]

Tendou sits down on a bench in the locker room. “And?” He crossed his legs and became comfortable.

[tempestandtorrent]

"And…" Jen’s shoulders dropped and her hand loosened on the Bringer Sword. "I’m really gonna have to choose, aren’t I…" The last time she had to make a decision like this, she and someone else close to her nearly died in a fire. How was she to be sure something similar wouldn’t happen again if she made the wrong choice? If this wasn’t a trap, either Aya or Tendou was not who they claimed to be. 

The black visor on the helmet turned clear, revealing her face and uneasy expression. Was there really nothing besides putting trust in possibly the wrong person that she could do? Playing the earlier events in her mind for a few seconds, she fully turned back to Aya.

"Commander…how did you know what went on here earlier?" It was true that Aya got around, but she was certainly not at the highest spot on Skyforce, and she wasn’t the head of security. Something seemed a bit off that she’d know about this occurring right away. "I’ve been at the front desk for a good two hours. I-if you found out people were being accosted—killed in the locker room, wouldn’t you have sounded the alarms?" 

[dontcrumblethetofu]

"I didn't know people were being killed, I was unsure of when the worms would have striked. And it's unfortunate..." Aya frowned. "I couldn't prevent this but, had I sounded the alarm or alerted everyone the worms would have easily escaped. They can move as super speeds the smallest chance would allow them to escape."

"That is true." Tendou added as he looked over at Jen. "Rather sound reasoning too. You would need to surprise them to keep them from escaping and attacking them before they moulted. Speaking of moulted, you should probably duck."

As he said this the worm that mimicked the secretary swung at Jen's head.

[dontcrumblethetofu]

"He’s a worm too! He’s setting up a trap from you. He’s just a fake." The Commander yelled out.

"A fake?" Tendou smiled as he pointed to the sky. “Grandmother said this… Once you know the real thing… you won’t be fooled by an imitation.” As he said this the Kabuto Zecter flew through a window and knocked into the two guards behind Aya before resting in Tendou’s hand.

"See!" Aya yelled out. “He’s attacking us. He’s not the real Kabuto.”

[dontcrumblethetofu]

Tendou sits down on a bench in the locker room. "And?" He crossed his legs and became comfortable.

[dontcrumblethetofu]

"This one is a worm." Tendou pointed out as the ‘fake’ secretary pushed the locker off of him and stood up. It then let out a growl before transforming into a black and white insectoid monster. “Hmm…” Tendou let out as he observed the worm. “But not the one I was looking for…”

As the two prepared to deal with the worm, they heard the doors open again and more footsteps run in. “Mint! Careful.” The voice of Commander Aya came as she ran in with two armed guards. “That monster is dangerous! And so is that man.” She pointed at Tendou. “He is the one who brought it here!”

"Ohhh…" Tendou nodded. “So this is how this’ll go eh?”

[tempestandtorrent]

"C-commander Aya?" Jen blinked, furrowing her eyebrows and glancing back to the Worm. Didn’t the guy say his name was Tendou Souji? Her eyes widened in recognition. "W-wait a minute, Commander! He’s not our enemy. I’ve paid a great deal of attention to riders of the 2000s. This guy’s Kabuto, Commander." She frowned, glancing from the man she mentioned back to Aya.

[dontcrumblethetofu]

"He's a worm too! He's setting up a trap from you. He's just a fake." The Commander yelled out.

"A fake?" Tendou smiled as he pointed to the sky. "Grandmother said this... Once you know the real thing… you won’t be fooled by an imitation." As he said this the Kabuto Zecter flew through a window and knocked into the two guards behind Aya before resting in Tendou's hand.

Aozora couldn’t help but laugh with him. “It will probably so. I hope that he doesn’t get weird with me like he was with Misaki-san and Kagami-san just like you told me. I doubt anyone can mimic you perfectly, Otou-san. There is just no one anyone could. Though Masahiro tries his best to walk in your shoes.”

[dontcrumblethetofu]

"I wouldn't want Masahiro be end up like me." Tendou said bluntly. "I want him to walk a similar path yes, but he shouldn't end up being another me. He needs to become his own man, wear his own shoes. The same with you."
