Chapter 39: My Life Is A Mess!
"One hundred fifty seven!" Kiyone grimaced, chinning herself on a bar suspended between two of the older trees on the training ground.
"Going to kill her!" She gasped upon lowering to full extension, before exerting, rising again.
"One hundred fifty eight!" She rasped upon returning chin to the bar. "Finally lost what little brain she had!" She then growled, then lowered. Then, in spite of working off a serious 'mad on' since she had arrived, Kiyone executed her one hundred and fifty ninth pull-up easily as she had her first. "Not to mention embarrassing me in front of the Masaki's!" At the top she now paused her face taking on a tragic cast. "To say nothing about what the grand marshal's gonna do when he gets wind of this!"
Sinking down, both in despair and physically Kiyone indulged in a moment of hanging and 'she felt' well earned self-pity.
"MY LIFE IS A MESS!!" She lamented. Her moment however was interrupted by the sound of someone clapping their hands.
"BRAVO!" Tenchi called. Now attired in training clothes, he made his way from the archway to about center of the well worn open area.
"Magnificent performance!" He continued before stopping a few feet away. "I know, it brought tears to My eyes."
"You are such a dick!" Kiyone seethed, still hanging from the bar. "You saw how she was carrying on!"
"Well, to Mihoshi's defense Key." He said quietly, crossing his arms. "You did go off half cocked! Talking to her in front of everybody like that."
"You're taking her side?" She asked unable to believe.
"Kiyone!" He gasped, astonished in spite of himself. "There is no side to take! Mihoshi's a grown woman! With her own mind!" As she continued to stare Tenchi found he was feeling slightly ticked off at her persisting attitude.
"Hell!" He continued. "After the way you're always after her about thinking for herself..."
"Ok! Now, whoa, whoa, whoa!" She interrupted hanging from one hand and gesturing with the other.
"You mean to say, you approve of her shaking her ass in front of a camera?"
"No," Tenchi grimaced. "Of course not!" He answered immediately, shrugging. "But I mean, it really is her choice, right? Whether we approve or not?" At his point Kiyone surrendered her grip and dropped to the ground.
"But, I'm supposed to look after her!" She pouted still obviously upset. "She's my..."
"Responsibility?" Tenchi interrupted nodding his head. "Not your daughter, or your sister though." He then paused and drew a deep breath.
