Chapter Three - "Seeing in A New Light"
Part Three
...That was about the moment when Fiona walked through the door.
"Hi, Mrs. McIrish." Haruo said with a smile on his face as he looked up. River was still in stitches of laughter because every time she looked at Haruo and his entirely innocent expression, it would set her off again.
"Hello, Haruo." Fiona replied as she cheerily greeted him. She enjoyed the fact that River and he were such good friends for as long as they'd been. And even if Haruo's mother was a world class cow, he certainly did not affect any pretentiousness in his behaviour. Fiona recalled the shy little toddler nestled in his father's arms, the happy-go-lucky boy who lived for playing in the park with her daughter, but also the high-school senior that he now was. And Fiona could see that there was a quiet reservedness; a guarded air about him; a distinct pain in his eyes that only someone with a penchant for digging past the surface details would be able to surmise about the teen standing before her.

It wasn't hard to surmise what was being said on the occasions where Mayumi raised her voice towards her son. The walls were thin enough to catch bits of stupid, can't do anything right, are you mentally slow? And other oh-so-nice descriptives. Fiona seethed inside as she recalled the times that she'd heard Mayumi go off on her son; was it any wonder why there was always that hint of lingering sadness? But she wondered if he would deny everything that was happening to him. In the end she settled for taking him aside and saying, "It's always so nice to see you here, you know that this door is open to you if you ever need it." She put her hands on his shoulders and looked deeply into his eyes to try to convey to him that her side of the triplex would be his refuge away from Mayumi. She hoped he understood her meaning and took advantage of the fact that he could have this place as a refuge.

"Hopefully, your dad will be coming home soon. I'm rather looking forward to the meal at Hogan's."

Haruo looked over at River who nodded her agreement with her mother that she was famished. And Haruo's stomach making a vociferous complaint. The peanut butter and jelly sandwich was delicious but it had pretty much digested.

It wasn't too long till Haruo's uncle and father knocked on the door. Yasunobu apologized for being late. The boss had kept him for a while to go over business matters. Fiona reassured him that it was fine that she'd had her times of being late.

Molly had planned to meet them at the diner and asked to speak to the babysitter who would keep four year old Sandi occupied. Molly would bring home a kid's pack from Hogan's as a reward. Sandi was at the age where she liked to hop up on the chair and play. At least having the babysitter there already would keep Molly from having to utilize the malevolent ministrations of Mayumi and keep her adverse effects on Sandi in check.
And soon the five: Satoshi, Yasunobu, Fiona, River and Haruo were all headed down to Hogan's Diner to have a meal - or more accurately: to play gastronomical Russian Roulette - "Let's see, will you upchuck tonight or won't you? Come down to Hogan's Diner and find out."
Usually, while the rest of the family stuffed their faces down at Hogan's Diner, Mayumi was enjoying the full-on psychological torture of an infant. It fed her soul and replenished her evil-ness and frankly she didn't give two hoots about whether or not Molly would have to spend thousands of simoleons on therapy bills for poor little oft-neglected Sandi - especially with puting her in the hands of *gasp - horror* Mayumi. That was an unspeakable crime.
But at least tonight Sandi was safe in the arms of a caring babysitter and not in the hands of the evil Mayumi who's idea of child minding was to place Sandi in a playpen and put on Friday the 13th -why don't you learn your days, Sandi, oh dear. See the nice man in the hockey goalie mask and the machete? Evidently he likes to prune things. *hack, slash* ~screaming~. Yes, Mayumi should not have been allowed to have children...
...too late...
Down at Hogan's Diner.
Haruo was still trying to figure out what he wanted when Yasunobu's 1986 Toyota Camry pulled up into the parking lot at Hogan's Diner. Yasunobu's Camry was a nondescript brown with chrome trim.
Getting out of the vehicle, the family looked around at each other still trying to figure out what they were in the mood to buy for dinner before they would go in and sit down to look at the menu.

Jared Frio; the cook that night was taking a smoke break in front of the doors blowing smoke in the general direction of the patrons who were coming in and out of the diner. Most people knew Jared was a horse's ass and most ignored him, mainly because as a tough guy, Jared was not someone who anyone wanted to mess with. Most townsfolk, with the exception of Marty Keaton and Jack Bunch, actually feared him.
And Jared had not been challenged face to face by anyone...
...until today.
https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lRPIluO5mdo/X9AlE0Q_B6I/AAAAAAAAlGw/a7q1iL8KsYsMyzk57Jf4rdbiz5-E7-Q1wCLcBGAsYHQ/s0/Screenshot-126.jpg
Haruo saw red when Jared blew smoke in his dad's face. And his voice lowered to a savage growl as River's heart leapt into her throat. Surely he wasn't going to take Jared, the town bully, on. But to her dismay, she saw Haruo square off.
She'd never seen Haruo challenge someone bigger than him before, not that he couldn’t and he’d had through second hand account during his Grade 8 days when he’d defended his classmates against high-school juniors; she'd only seen Haruo kick VJ’s ass and this wasn't just some student; this was a full grown young adult with some height and poundage on him. "Hey, why don't you blow that smoke somewhere else!?"
https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vGV7E7sQmoI/X9Aldhjc8_I/AAAAAAAAlG4/C_Y6xKdisUsZ03_aBPAds4MY_V8UJAbogCLcBGAsYHQ/s0/Screenshot-127.jpg
Jared Frio being the arrogant cranial-rectal inversion that he was, decided to start something with Haruo; he looked over at another co-worker and sniggered; "kid thinks he can take me on; I could take his dad with one hand tied behind my back, I'm gonna turn the kid into a effin' pretzel." He then got up off the wall he'd been leaning against and smugly responded, "Listen, kid, I'll do what I want when I want; now why don't you flark off and run along to your daddy before you get hurt."
https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hKuncgFSyVQ/X9AlwsHOz0I/AAAAAAAAlHA/6u01iYIDIKkKOE0VB7trzThZNCGdTkHpQCLcBGAsYHQ/s0/Screenshot-129.jpg
"How about I make you!" Haruo growled, balling his fists, his eyes narrowing. River gave a supplication to a higher power to keep Haruo safe from harm. She figured that he may have bit off more than he could chew in fighting Jared who most people in town feared.
"Listen, hissykitten..." Jared gritted his teeth, "You want to try to take me on; I'll break your little scrawny body in half and your daddy can take you home in a doggy bag. So don't start something you can't finish." He started forward threateningly, "You picked the wrong guy to piss off. I gave you a chance, it's your funeral now!"
https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fkbixL8N0wA/X9AmU-VzGQI/AAAAAAAAlHI/Bh54aVHNSiwbDvxuFtgm2kCHXBYzcJl4ACLcBGAsYHQ/s0/Screenshot-131.jpg
Haruo didn't show a single iota of fear as Jared, balling his fists the size of small hams and his eyes ablaze with anger; "You're really flarking stupid, aren't you?" Jared continued as he closed in on Haruo.
Satoshi and his father made a move to step forward and Haruo snapped, "Stay out of it! Dad, Uncle" o his father and uncle - he didn't need them distracting him and them potentially getting in the way of a strike or a full-force kick.
His breathing calmed and he centered himself as Jared advanced on him bringing his hands up. Crouching into a cat stance arms arms out stretched hands one behind the other as if he was going to beat on a muk yan jong.
Except that martial arts dummy that he was going to batter the living crayola out of was one Jared Frio. And Haruo thought grimly as he sized up his opponent, dummy is the right term here - Haruo might take disrespect from his mother, but lord help anyone who crossed Haruo outside of the home. it didn't matter that Jared was an adult, he would get the full venom of Haruo's hostility and the devastating power of Haruo's five years of martial arts training, four of which were beating up a wing chun dummy. His eyes locked on Jared's advancing steps and nearing body as Haruo prepared to do battle.

"What you think you some kinda Bruce Lee; you gonna do some hi yah karate or something?" Jared sneered. "it's gonna take a lot more than that to stop me from stomping your rear."
Haruo grinned savagely as he dodged Jared who swung wildly as Haruo dodged each thrown punch. Build up a case for retaliation in self defense then...one over-extension by Jared and he struck a vicious counter-strike.

River saw Jared reel back blood streaming from his nose as he wiped his hand across he winced. His nose was shattered. "You got one lucky punch, numb-flark! Now I'm gonna mop the floor with you." And waded back in fists flailing only to be met by Haruo who stepped into Jared's charge.

The Muk Yan Jong was meant to teach blocks and strikes. Tangling up each of Jared's wild haymaker punches with effective blocks, Haruo's elbows, knees and fists connected with Jared's torso land they weren't weak teenage strikes, they were full contact body blows capable of shattering bone -anvils of steel inflicting untold measures of pain.

An audible snap prefaced a scream from the throat of the elder Frio brother as Haruo hyper-extended Jared's hand in a wrist-lock and snapped Jared's wrist.
Luckily they had BC medical so Jared's stupidity could be rectified by medical intervention.
But no-one said that stupid people couldn't be persistent. And finally, Haruo'd had enough, kicks, rapid punches on vulnerable points on Jared's body and finally a vitriol filled kick that started from somewhere around his knees; a spinning high hook kick that impacted Jared in the side of his head; snapped his head back and drove him insensate to the ground. Jared started it; Haruo ended it as River gasped. Jared wasn't saying much considering Haruo's spinning hook kick had knocked Jared out for the count. Nighty-night, Jared. Don't mind the canaries floating around your head - they'll go away eventually

Of course Haruo was still torqued off at Jared and River's eyes widened as Haruo started raining a staccato beat of body blows to the torso and rabbit punches to the face of Jared Frio while Jared's head was doing a great impression of a speed-bag bouncing off the brickwork while a crowd assembled having watched the entire fight from start to finish.
Satoshi finally pulled Haruo off Jared to prevent Haruo from pounding Jared's head into the pavement. As he was dragged away struggling against his uncle's firm grip, Haruo yelled at the prone, groaning mass bleeding on the brick, "Maybe that'll teach you not to blow smoke in other people's faces. Ya greasy dirtbag freak!"

The Muk Yan Jong was meant to teach blocks and strikes. Tangling up each of Jared's wild haymaker punches with effective blocks, Haruo's elbows, knees and fists connected with Jared's torso land they weren't weak teenage strikes, they were full contact body blows capable of shattering bone -anvils of steel inflicting untold measures of pain.

An audible snap prefaced a scream from the throat of the elder Frio brother as Haruo hyper-extended Jared's hand in a wrist-lock and snapped Jared's wrist.
Luckily they had BC medical so Jared's stupidity could be rectified by medical intervention.
But no-one said that stupid people couldn't be persistent. And finally, Haruo'd had enough, kicks, rapid punches on vulnerable points on Jared's body and finally a vitriol filled kick that started from somewhere around his knees; a spinning high hook kick that impacted Jared in the side of his head; snapped his head back and drove him insensate to the ground. Jared started it; Haruo ended it as River gasped. Jared wasn't saying much considering Haruo's spinning hook kick had knocked Jared out for the count. Nighty-night, Jared. Don't mind the canaries floating around your head - they'll go away eventually

Of course Haruo was still torqued off at Jared and River's eyes widened as Haruo started raining a staccato beat of body blows to the torso and rabbit punches to the face of Jared Frio while Jared's head was doing a great impression of a speed-bag bouncing off the brickwork while a crowd assembled having watched the entire fight from start to finish.
Satoshi finally pulled Haruo off Jared to prevent Haruo from pounding Jared's head into the pavement. As he was dragged away struggling against his uncle's firm grip, Haruo yelled at the prone, groaning mass bleeding on the brick, "Maybe that'll teach you not to blow smoke in other people's faces. Ya greasy dirtbag freak!"
