Unexpected Travel: Old Enemies Reemerge

The sky of the Human World shattered like a pot falling from a height, with Kenji stepping out, the Garganta-like opening closing silently behind him. His blue kimono, with the prominent Ying and Yang symbol on the back was dirty and tattered, evidence from the battle's he'd waged during the Kanmuri Taikai Tournament just three months previously, and the harsh training he'd endured since. After the final blow had been struck, and the crowd reached their echoing crescendo in cheer and celebration, Kenji had vanished without a word to anyone, leaving only a note in Ino's bag.

Lightning flashed overhead, and the rain began to pour, but Kenji stood tall and blew the roof off the building with the levels of spiritual energy he exerted. "I'm waiting... for our final clash. It's high time you and me finished what we started." Fear was nonexistant in his tone, and now he played the waiting game...
