The kiss startled Jack and for a moment he stopped. Then his hand took on a life of its own and drew Momo to himself bringing her face only inches from his own as the crazed look that usual entered his eyes when he was drowning in the joys of battle sparkled in his pupils,
"Yer excuse for not coming with me is your gramps?" he asked with a dead tone in his voice as his grip on her arms tightened to the point where he risked harming her; in the pasts months he had indeed grown stronger thanks to her training, yet now he wanted nothing more than to whisk her away.
Before Momo could answer he kissed her inhaling her scent into his lungs as his hand released her forearm revealing imprints of where the hands had grasped. Soon they were caressing her back, yet Jack himself was not conscious of these actions for his thoughts were muddled with the scent of the woman before him. Impulses throbbed in rhythm with the beat of his heart and he bounced from rage to lust to despair all in the matter of a few beats of the heart. For a brief moment even his heart quieted down and he thought he could feel as they souls melded into one; a romance that now allowed two withered husks bound their pasts to melt into one another becoming a free creature roaming to any place it desired.
Pulling back so that he could look at her eyes Jack licked his lips to catch any reminder of her on them before speaking softly,
"Just come with me...I ain't as strong as half of these dudes out here, but I know I will beat 'em all to death if it was for you..." he whispered.
Just then Fondu, the girl's grandfather came storming through the bushes where the two had hidden away,
"And just what do you think you telling my granddaughter to do?!" he spat harshly at Jack grabbing the surprised pirate by the cuff of his shirt and hoisting him into the air before the young man could react.
"S-screw y-you old man..." he breathed under the strain of the grip while his feet dangled helplessly in the air,
"...ya pretend ya love her when all yer doin' is holdin' her back" he fumed futilely grasping at the man's wrist trying to break his hold upon his shirt.
Fondu's eyes bulged with anger and he released the struggling pirate's shirt allowing him to fall for a brief moment before striking the boy's stomach with a powerful fist sending all the contents of the mean he had splashing across the ground. A dull boom echoed through the small clearing and a few animals peeped out curiously from their homes as to view the scene. Eyes wide open in pain as he clutched his stomach, Jack wavered on his feet for a second and then fell forward twitching as his brain tried to deal with the incoming pain messages that left the boy paralyzed upon the soft grass laying in his own puke,
"Momo! Come with me now!" the old man sternly ordered his granddaughter.
His deep set eyebrows crinkled with passionate anger as he eyed his kin; her decision to love this piece of scum baffled him from the start, but now they spoke of leaving as if it were a matter to be toyed with. He, Fondu would never allow his daughter to shame his dojo nor the name of Karate Island all for the sake of some runt faced street rat,
"...you shall never see this man again...nor he you" he said with a finality that sent chills through the bones of the incapacitated Jack.
