Thirteen days have passed since Imaku, Suki and Kaji arrived in Giran and life has returned to almost normal. Suki has moved in with Okena and has had some new clothes made for her. She is always either locked in her room or at Okena’s or Imaku’s side. Okena, thought at least three years older than the other three, has become fast friends with them and they spend much of their time together as a group. Kaji, who has moved in with Imaku, is truly fascinated with Giranian technology. Although they lack modern weapons, Giranians have an incredible mastery of electronics and communications and they are even able to pirate television signals from earth. Most of the inhabitants have become accustomed to the presence of humans, though Imaku and Suki bear a distinct hatred of the Yamamaru clan. Okena has been giving them lessons on the customs and etiquette of the three clans as well as the laws of the Alliance. At the moment, all four are in Imaku’s room eating lunch and talking about earth. Imaku is laying flat on his back and staring a the ceiling and only chiming in every now and then
“Wait, so in your world cats are kept as pets?!” Okena asks, sounding shocked.
“Yeah, but they aren’t like the Mizumarus,” explains Suki. “They’re small, have four legs, and don’t speak,” she adds. Okena simply shakes her head as she munches down another French fry. These have been her favorite food ever since Suki taught the chefs how to make them. Suki is often called down to the mess hall to teach them or give advice about earth food, and Okena often follows her in order to get free samples.
“When this is over, we really need to take you down to earth and show you around more,” says Kaji from behind the TV. He is still trying to figure out how they work, but right now he is simply plugging in a videogame console. It has a fighting game similar to “Tekken” or “Soul Caliber” in it. Kaji tosses the controller to Imaku, but Okena intercepts it.
“Let me play! I bet I can take you!” she says with a cocky smile.
“Oh geez…” mumbles Imaku quietly, still staring at the ceiling.
“Alright, but your in my world now! Ninja skills don’t apply,” Kaji says smoothly. They select their characters and the battle starts. Within seconds, it’s over. Okena stare blankly at the screen as she lets the controller fall from her hands. Imaku sits up and snatches it from between her feet, starting another battle without a word. The two are evenly matched and the battle just keeps on going. Okena watches in amazement as they concentrate on the screen and move their thumbs in a blur of motion, setting up spectacular combos and finishing moves. Suki taps her on the shoulder before she is completely lost.
“These two knuckle heads will be at it for hours; lets just go back to our room till they’re done,” she says.
“How do they do that?” Okena asks, standing up. She can’t tear her eyes away from the screen. Suki leads her out of the room by the arm and into the hall.
“Incredible…” Okena says, still awestruck by Imaku and Kaji’s videogame prowess. “How do they do it?”
“Don’t even try to understand them. Guys don’t think,” Suki says, misunderstanding the question.
“They are so good at that because they’re idiots?” Okena asks, sounding a bit confused.
“Yeah, but they’re my idiots,” Suki replies with a sigh and a smile. She starts off down the hall and Okena follows.
