Takeshi turns around slowly transitioning from his highly awake battle stance, to his completely apathetic idle pose.
"I was jumped, had to defend myself..."

"It looks that way" the voice continues.
As Takeshi turns around he sees a second year student with shoulder-length black hair and a fair build. At his side are two bseball-sized balls connected by a thick cord. Student GUARD sash a brilliant orange across his arm.
"Though you'll excuse me if I say this fight doesn't look quite so one-sided" he finishes. The guy then proceeds to take out little white zip-tie bindings and walks past Takeshi only to begin wrapping the other guy's hands up.

Takeshi shrugs and says, "It's their fault for jumping someone stronger than them." He'll begin to walk away slowly, and lazily.

"Ah. I guess I can't argue with that" comes the guy's response as Takeshi walks away.
However just as he manages to clear the scene of his battle and return to the open air he finds he has someone waiting for him.
"That was rather impressive. From zero to ten in an instant...must have taken a lot of practice".
The talk comes from a second year with his uniform open just slightly. His black hair is styled back into a short braid tied with a red cloth at the end. From outward apperance his build and height seem no more than ordinary.

"It took a bit. Who are you?" Takeshi asks apathetically.

"Takezo" he replies. "Madarame Takezo. I like making friends with interesting people. What is your name?"

"Takeshi. Takeshi, Ito. Pleased to make your acquaintance, Takezo-San."

"I would say the same Ito-san. I would be honored if you joined me for lunch..perhaps we can get better acquainted?" Takezo responds brightly.

(Is Takezo's the guy's first name? I can modify my post if it is....)
"Perhaps another time. I have some business to take care of today."

(Don't worry about it.)
"Ah. I understand. Then I hope our paths cross again on good terms Ito-san" he replies with a short bow.

"As do I." Takeshi will reply, and with that he'll walk away over to his gang's meeting place.

Takeshi takes a walk over to the building behind which his gang hangs out. They all turn and greet him as he arrives with variations of "hey boss" or "yo boss". The guy with blue sunglasses being the only exception.
"What's been up boss?"

"Some punks tried to beat me up. I dealt with them. Anything happen while I was busy?" Takeshi asks.

"More of the same. Guys from Destrati and Oujia-high have been buzzin' around but it's nothing we couldn't handle...for now" he replies adjusting his sunglasses.

Takeshi nods. "I see." He'll pull the guy with sunglasses aside. "I have a matter I need you to look into. I'm trying to find someone. Are you familiar with the Double Dragon 2: The Revenge?"

He looks at you over his glasses a moment before replying.
"Yeah, a little. They're supposed to be the gang that bought out old Machihara's noodle place right? The ones who ran those Murder Dojo wack-jobs outta town?"

"Yeah them. Where the hell is their noodle place? I don't know this town too well."

"I think it's three blocks down from the pet store on the corner of Mahouro and Juto" he replies with an increasing interest. "Why? what are you thinking boss?"

"There's one of them. I'm thinking about testing his strength..." Takeshi gets kind of a glazed look over his eyes with this statement. "He seems really strong..."

Takeshi's words draw everyone elses interest now. Each one listening in with interest.
"You serious boss? which one which one?" one of them asks. "I'll bet it's that foriegn killing machine isn't it?" another one says. "No no, it's probably the hulking mogol!" a third chimes in.
The guy in the blue sunglasses holds out his hand to get the rest to quiet down before saying his piece.
"So how do you wanna do this boss?"

Takeshi laughs a bit, "His name is Rikimaru. To be honest, he's the only one I've managed to talk to and see in action. However, his fighting abilities seemed to be the most honed. He might be as strong as I."
He gets a thoughtful look. "As for testing him... I was simply planning on catching him alone then challenging him then. However, he always seems to be around someone. Whether it be that girl of his, or that one guy...."

"You're talking about Daiashida right?" blue sunglasses asks you.
"If you're looking for some alone time with this Rikkimaru guy we could help you out with that. Tie his company up for a bit".

"Daiashida..." He thinks aloud. After a few moments of thought Takeshi nods. "Holding his friends up... that would be perfect. I only need them held up for about 15 minutes. I doubt out fight will last longer than that."
He taps his foot for a few seconds, obviously deep in thought, then asks, "does there happen to be a breakdancing club at the school?"

The mood suddenly changes from anticipation to befuddlement as everyone exchanges quizzical looks.
"Do they?" one guy asks nobody in particular. "I don't think so boss" another mutters. "There's that one dance fighting club..what was it called?" says another. "Dance fighting?" the first asks. "You know, they meet out on the left field in a circle on tuesdays and thursdays. They play that weird african music..."

"Hm... that might do. Capoiera I think it's called..." he looks down obviously thinking again. "Although I may not have the time to learn it before the fight...."

"Learning a few new tricks might not be a bad idea. Some of the guys from Destrade are sniffing around our turf, they wanna know who's keeping things up if it's not Maiashida" blue sunglasses tells you.
At the mention of this everyone once again goes quiet with a sense of anticipation. Their reaction isn't without reason either as Takeshi has heard the people from Destrade High are by far one of the toughest gangs around.

"You guys seem worried. They're probably mostly talk." Takeshi says with a laugh. "Besides if they attack us, we'll just kick their asses."

"Glad to see you're so confident..but if you wanna keep control of the gang's territory you gotta flex a little. Even if they turn out to be push overs they'll get the wrong idea if we just ignore 'em" is blue sunglasses response.

"How about we bait them into a trap then? Release a rumor that our gang is currently leader-less, and is meeting somewhere at a certain time to decide a new leader. Watch them walk right into it." Takeshi says. A smile begins to form on his face.

A couple of the guys smile wicked smiles.
"Sounds like you have a plan. When do we wanna do it?" blue sunglasses asks with a similar smile. "And how soon?"
