Both the fighters fixed their legs on the ground with tightend fists. Haruko raised his leg above his head and kicked, but Kenichiwa dodged. Kenichi then raised his knee and kicked on Haruko's abdomen. Kenichiwa moved forward and hit his elbow , but Haruko blocked by his lower arm and chopped his hand on Kenichiwa's shoulder. Kenichiwa got a severe damage. Haruko jumped on air and kicked, Kenichiwa got shocked by a sudden attack. With a electrical speed, Kenichiwa moved from there and elusive simultaneous punches on Haruko. Haruko stood still on the ground and waited for Kenichiwa's next move. The environment around Haruko and Kenichiwa was totally silent. Kenichiwa was also waiting for Haruko's next move. Haruko can't tollerete the pain, so he fell, this shows the surrender of Haruko and victory of Kenichiwa. When Haruko stood up, Kenichiwa noticed a mark of blood around his mouth.

Haruko moved towards Kenichiwa, his eyes was burning like fire. He said solemnly —“ That was a great battle, we will meet again ”. Haruko left the place with his friends.

All these incidents were noticed by Ikochiwa by the side of the hut. After some time Ikochiwa called Kenichiwa for dinner, but before that he said

“Kenny, you like martial arts right, But I will prefer you to leave it. Martial arts has destroyed me and also will destroy you! Stop these nonsense, you will leave martial arts, that's my final decision, you have to help me in the farmlands. Dad is sick, mom is weak. You have to take our responsibilities. How longer I will carry these responsibilities, you have to grow up very soon.

After that Kenichiwa said nothing and had his dinner and slept with a depressed mood.

One month passed and Kenichiwa stopped martial arts. Kenichiwa everyday helped his brother in farmlands. One day, Ikochiwa was busy in working in his farmlands and Kenichiwa was helping him.

Unexpectedly, Kenichiwa noticed that Haruko came secretly and was hiding behind the oak tree. Haruko knew everything about the conversation between Kenichiwa and Ikochiwa that night. Kenichiwa went near Haruko by tapping his feet with a pin drop silence.

Kenichiwa: Why you came here? If my brother

knows he will finish me.

Haruko: I am here to give you, this golden Buddha

from my dad.

Haruko's dad ,Hasashi met Kenichiwa few days ago. He was a great fan of Kenichiwa's talent. Haruko handovered the box in which the idol is there to Kenichiwa and left. Kenichiwa quickly hid that box under his father's bed, that time his father was fast asleep, so he didn't recognised his son. If it goes in the hand of his brother then he would sell it for money.

Ikochiwa was happy for his monthly wages that at least he and his family would get two meals a day. One day, the taxlords came to Mr Asino's hut and asked for the tax.

Asino: Sorry, we don't have much money, give me

few more days.

Taxlord: Time is over, now you have to suffer.

Ikochiwa and Kenichiwa can't save their parents. Kenichiwa also got fever due to these psychological issues. Both the brothers had not ate or drank anything on that day. Some special officers buried the dead bodies of Mr and Mrs Asino.

Next morning, when Kenichiwa woke up, he didn't found his brother in the hut. He thought may be his brother went for work without calling him. Outside the hut there was a massive crowd of people around Kenichiwa's hut. Everyone was shouting in relation to the oak tree. Kenichiwa went near the tree by pushing the crowd aside. He saw two legs was hanging from the tree. When Kenichiwa looked up, he saw a familiar face to him.

Many people called Kenichiwa but no sound heard by Kenichiwa. Kenichiwa could then only see and hear his moment's with his brother. According to law, suicide was crime in Japan. If the prosecutor is alive then he or she would not punishment or one of his or her family member would get the punishment. Now, Kenichiwa would get punishment and besides that his dad's tax is left, so he would get more heavy punishment.
