Search for the Legendary Mangaka

"7 wow you are getting old." Pyrus patted her head and smiled, "I didn't do too much for you. I just showed you a dangerous move." Pyrus laughed.

"Oh nonsense, that move helped me to win the tournament. If it weren't for you and Namide, I may have never realized my dream. And then the world would have been much different than it is now. I changed the course of history that day. Of course, that is nothing compared to what you did."

"I lost a fight with a goddess, I guess it is just my luck. I thought I'd say hi I bet an important mangaka like you has a dead line to meet."

"HA! deadlines, I am a chapter ahead of schedule! I have a one-shot appearing in next week's JUMP, but it's nearly done as well. I have to say, computers make this a lot easier than how they described in Bakuman. We have made such leaps in technology since then."

"I read that series when it was coming out, I guess my age really shows. I am looking forward to the oneshot." Pyrus smiled.

Gokudo ran back into Ryuji's apartment. "Hey comic book guy, I got the money you wanted."

"Glad to know fans of the classics are able to appreciate my work."

He noticed Gokudo return. "Ah, you're back are you? well then, I'll sign the book if that's what you really want."

"Yes please! I can finally get this over with and not have to carry this weird book with me everywhere." Gokudo handed Ryuji the correct amount of money. "Just sign it 'To Doskoi' he's the one who sent me to get it."

"I'll take my leave old people like me have stuff to do plus I am sure my youngest is waiting for me." Pyrus smiled and bowed. He then started to walk away.

*Ryuji signed the book.
"There you go. thank you for the business. And while you're here, why not have ol' Pyrus sign it too, the story is based upon him after all."

"What do I care if he signs it? Doskoi only asked for the signature of Ryuji. Although,that Sumo jerk could give me even more power if I get the old guy's signature too..." Gokudo thought this last part out loud.

Pyrus walked over, "Why not it wouldn't hurt if I signed." Pyrus made a pen appear out of thin air, "love that trick."

Gokudo smirked. "Big deal, I can do that, but with a sword! See watch." He held up his hand that was not holding the book. "MAGIC SWORD APPEAR!" A large broadsword engulfed in flames appeared in front of him. "Impressive no?" The flames dispersed before setting fire to anything.

Pyrus looked at the sword then suddenly it was in his hands, "I like the look of it. Who ever made it knew magical items, though I bet you can't use it." Pyrus laughed and cut the air with the sword.

Ryu patted Konata on the shoulder. "Konata, you go to your room, this could get messy."

"Okay daddy!" Konata ran back into a bedroom.

Pyrus handed him the sword, "ten years ago I might of had a match." Pyrus laughed and handed him the manga, "I signed it to have fun kid." Pyrus started to walk away whistling.

"Good old Pyrus. Glad you came. come back any time now."

Konata opened the door from the bedroom and yelled out "Bye'cha!"

"Who knows if I can come around as much teaching takes time along with my family." Pyrus yelled back.

Sakura was walking home from the store when she saw Pyrus leaving the apartment. "Ah, hello sensei. Did you stop to pay us a visit?"

"Yeah there was a rowdy looking guy there I almost fought him. If only I was younger old age is a hassle." Pyrus laughed.

"Oh come now you are still good for your age. I will have to tell Ryuji to keep his guests in better habits next time." "Hope you stay well."

"His guest was OK I just keep getting excited when I am confronted with rowdy kids. Don't scold him too bad and certainly don't go using them card." Pyrus smiled.

"I haven't used them in a while. Now that their powers are sealed again, I hope I never will. Anyways, you take care now, I heard that we are going to get some bad weather."

"I retired so the weather has nothing to do with me, stay safe sakura." Pyrus walked away chuckling.
