"He wanted to find a samurai in a castle, and then learn how to become strong?!"
"Hai," Miyuki Kobayakawa said as she stared at her co-worker, Ken Nakajima, as both stood in the arrival lounge of Narita-New Tôkyô International Airport. The former had just arrived on a flight from Los Angeles after completing forensics training with that city's finest. The White Hawk of the Bokutô detachment of the Metropolitan Police in Sumida Ward, having been detached by the chief of station to come pick up his co-worker, had arrived some minutes before and caught up to Miyuki in time. He also just found out about a new friend the lovely traffic cop had made on the flight over from America. "His name's Randy. I didn't get his last name, though."
Ken looked over to the young boy, currently seated alone in a chair nearby. "Came over by himself, huh?" the motorcycle trooper said, and then he hummed. "Let's find out some more, then see if we can help him get to his grandfather's place."
Miyuki nodded as they both headed over to the young green-eyed, blond boy. "Randy!" Miyuki called out to get his attention.
"Miyuki!" Randy gasped, surprised to see his new friend approach, and then he blinked on seeing the tall, well-built police officer beside her. "Eh?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, Randy," Miyuki apologised. "This is one of my co-workers, Officer Ken Nakajima. He came down to the airport today to pick me up."
Randy gaped. "You're a policewoman?"
"Hai, I am," Miyuki said as she straightened herself, and then gave him a sharp salute. "Officer Miyuki Kobayakawa, traffic officer, Bokutô Station, Tôkyô Metropolitan Police Department." She then smiled. "Welcome to Japan, Randy."
Hearing that, Randy blinked as he took that in, and then he nodded. "Arigatô."
Ken nodded. "You're Japanese is quite good, er…"
The young boy perked. "Oh, I'm sorry." He held out his hand. "Randy Hammond."
The men shook hands. Hearing that name, Miyuki's eyes went wide. "Randy Hammond?!"
"Eh?" Ken gasped as he stared at his co-worker. "You know him, Kobayakawa?"
Miyuki breathed out. "I know of his late father, Nakajima-kun," she said before gazing sympathetically at the young boy. "He passed away some time ago, as did his wife. Randy came here looking for his maternal grandfather." She knelt beside him. "Randy, do you have any idea where your grandfather might be living?"
Randy shook his head, a sad look on his face. "No, I don't, Miyuki. I was hoping to go to Tôkyô and try to find Ojii-san there, but I really don't know where he lives."
"I see," Ken said, and then he laughed before nodding in understanding. "Well, don't worry about that, young man! We'll be more than happy to find your grandfather and get you to him as quickly as possible! How's that sound?!"
Randy perked. "You would?!" He then grinned. "Arigatô, Nakajima-junsa!"
"It's no…EH?!"
Miyuki perked as she stared at Ken. "What…?"
BU-QUIIIIIIIIIII…!
She jolted on hearing that high-pitched squeal from the area of the baggage claims section, and then she looked over…
Before her jaw hit the floor on seeing a huge, rose-furred pig-like creature the size of her beloved mini-patrol car, slowly walk towards them. Walking beside him to his left was a red-haired, purple-eyed woman in a martial arts gi-like uniform, a tan top with black pants and a red scarf drawn around her neck. Her top had very intricate designs on it, a mixture of cats and dragons, all coiled around each other. The most arresting detail that caught the eyes of everyone who see her is the crow's nest of five spinal-like ridges on her forehead and the flower tattoos under her eyes. "What on Earth…?" Miyuki gasped as her eyes took in this incredible sight.
"Wow! She's a Klingon!" Randy breathed out.
"Another one?!" Ken exclaimed.
Miyuki stared at him. "Another what?!"
He returned her look. "Aliens that look like Klingons!" Ken then blinked as he recalled what Miyuki had just been doing. "Oh, sorry about that! You obviously didn't hear the news flying in here! We just got a weird visitor from outer space that appeared in Tomobiki, then actually flew over Tôkyô until Lum-san and two of her friends caught up to her, and then they vanished! Just happened a couple hours ago!"
"Eh?! You've seen Kyech?!"
All three Terrans jolted on hearing that accented voice, and then turned as the alien warrior approached them, her pig right beside her. "Wow! She really does look like a Klingon!" Randy gushed as he ran over to stand before her.
The alien blinked. "'Kuringan?'" she repeated his word using her own native phonetics, and then her eyes widened. "Oh, I know what you're talking about! Lum and Tariko told me about them when we were on Okusei at the Academy. They're a warrior race depicted in a tale you show on your two-dimensional visual entertainment devices!" She then laughed as she shook her head. "No, I'm not a Kuringan. I'm Noukiite."
Hearing the name of the planet where a good majority of the Flower Youth of Noukiios had met the star-crossed lovers from Earth and Uru, Miyuki blinked. "Okusei?!" she gasped. "Oh, my! You must be a friend of Lum-chan's and Tariko-chan's!"
"Who's Tariko?" Ken wondered.
Miyuki gazed at him. "She's the one who helped Aoi-chan with her problem."
The motorcycle officer blinked in confusion, and then he gasped as the information flashed up in his mind. "Oh, her! Right, right!" He then chuckled before he stared at the alien girl. "So if you're one of Lum-san's friends, why didn't you go straight to Tomobiki? That's what other aliens do when they come to Earth."
A shrug. "We were on our scout ship when we were called here after everyone on Okusei found out Kyech came here. She didn't bother telling anyone that she was coming here save for your Special Committee on Alien Activities, so Kyek told us to get here quick as we could to see what was going on. There's no real big place to land the ship anywhere in Tomobiki, so we came here instead. It's a nice field you have here."
"Is she a red-haired woman of your race that can fly?" Ken asked.
A nod. "Yeah. But what do you expect of She Who Speaks To Dragons?"
"'She Who Speaks To Dragons?'" Randy repeated, and then he gasped as something came to him. "Wow! You really got DRAGONS on your planet, Onê-chan?!"
"Hai," the alien warrior nodded. "They're really nice, too. Until you get them angry at you. Then watch out!" She winked at the young boy. "It's nasty!"
"I'll bet," Randy said, and then he blinked. "But why do they call your friend 'She Who Speaks To Dragons?' Are people afraid of her?"
A laugh. "Oh, no! She's my friend! She wouldn't hurt anyone!" She then leaned down to stage-whisper into Randy's ear, "Unless you're a bandit or a poacher!"
"She fights them?"
Another nod. "Hai. In her last battle, she fought sixty-four thousand of them!" As Randy gaped in awe, she then added, "Almost all by herself!"
"Really?!"
"Hai!"
"Wow!" Ken breathed out. "She sounds even stronger than Tsujimoto!"
"Oh, Nakajima-kun! Don't be silly!" Miyuki hissed at him.
"Actually, it is the truth."
Hearing that strange voice from behind them, both policemen turned around to see another Noukiite, this one black-haired and brown-eyed, walk up to them, accompanied by a man and a woman in formal black business suits, Ray-Ban sunglasses over their eyes. Seeing them, Miyuki gasped before she grinned. "Jay-san! Elle-san! It's good to see you two again!"
"Hey, Miyuki! Just got back from L.A., huh?" the male of the two Men in Black, a young, clean-shaven African-American with short-cropped curly black hair and dark brown eyes, said with a polite nod as he and his companions stopped before them. "Good time there?"
"Hai, it was very educational," Miyuki admitted.
"Uh, Kobayakawa…"
Miyuki jolted. "Oh, Nakajima-kun, I'm sorry."
Introductions were made for him to Jay (James D. Edwards III) and Elle (Doctor Laurel Weaver) of the S.C.A.A., and then the raven-haired, hazel-eyed female United Nations agent did the introductions of the two just-arrived Noukiites. "Miyuki, Ken-san, Randy, this here is the Lady Free Warrior Seu-Euch Yesu-A Hechnich'-Kachnuk of the Imperial Dominion of Noukiios," she said as she waved to the raven-haired visitor, and then she indicated the redhead standing beside Randy. "And this is her adopted sister…"
"Kyekkyek!" she said as she raised her hand, impishly grinning.
Jay and Elle laughed. Beside him, the black-haired Noukiite moaned as she shook her head, reaching up to pinch the bony ridge of skin over the bridge of her nose. "Well, that's her childhood name. All her best friends can call her that," Jay stated. "But formally, she's the Lady Free Warrior Seu-Nuk Yesu-K'i Hechnich'-Kingch'eng."
"And you can call her Kuohu!" Kyekkyek said as she pointed at her partner/sister.
Kuohu groaned. "Pleased to meet you both," Miyuki — who was trying not to laugh or make a face at the older Noukiite's look of distress — said as she bowed to her, and then she bowed to Kyekkyek, Ken repeating her actions at the same time.
Kuohu placed her left fist into her open right hand before her as she bowed her head to them. "Heaven's most sincere blessings upon you all, Lady Constable Kobayakawa, Master Ranger Nakajima, Young Master Hammond." She straightened herself as she gazed fondly on the two Bokutô officers. "While I am unaware of your young companion's history, Lady Constable, Master Ranger, you two are both well known to us. As is the Lady Constable's most honourable partner, the Lady Constable Tsujimoto."
Miyuki and Ken blinked, their eyes wide with shock as their cheeks began to flame at how Kuohu had addressed them. "'Lady Constable?'" Miyuki repeated.
"'Master Ranger?'" Ken said with equal embarrassment.
Jay and Elle laughed. "Yeah! You got to forgive them, but Noukiites are pretty formal with titles when they meet someone for the first time," the former warned.
"Oh, I understand," Miyuki said. "Um, how exactly do I address you, Lady?"
Kuohu smiled. "As you are known to two very good friends of ours currently resident in your Emperor's capital city, Lady Constable, please call me Kuohu," she said with a wink. "And be assured of this; neither Lum nor Tariko spoke ill of you or your sister and brother constables at the Bokutô Fortress where you are based."
Randy gasped. "Wow! Miyuki, you really have a fortress?!"
Miyuki yelped as she stared down at her new friend, and then she blushed. "I'm not too sure about that, Randy!" she said before embarrassed laughter escaped her.
The others broke out in laugher as we…
