[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]************************

Kento Ishuka, a 17 year old boy from Tokyo, woke up to the high pitched beep of his bed side alarm. Another school day at Ryuize High, another load of work and bullying to get through.
Kento lifted his head and shook it, his jet black hair falling about his tanned face. He checked the digital display of the clock, 7:45 am. He groaned and fell back into his pillow. Then, it hit him?.
?Holy crap?! 7:45? I?m gonna be late!? he jumped from bed and hastily dressed himself, pulling on his pants and trying to brush his hair at the same time.
By some miracle, the boy managed to get downstairs and into his car with 10 minutes to go before the start of school?.he lived 20 minutes away.

As Kento pulled into the school, he saw a black Triumph Daytona propped up by a far wall. He squinted and stared at the motorbike, not knowing whom it belonged to. He looked up the large school and gulped, he checked his watch, 8:05.

?Shoot?? he muttered, he grabbed his book bag and sprinted for the doors, managing to slide into class just as his teacher had started role call.
?Late again, Mr. Ishuka?? the teacher, Mrs. Sumi breathed out.
Kento apologised and sat down, he didn?t notice a pair of green eyes staring at him from across the class room.

Imric stared at this boy, he wasn't sure why but he couldn't take his eyes off him. He saw another boy bounce over to Kento, grinning from ear to ear and hugging him tightly around the neck. Kento laughed nervously and managed to pull the clinging fan off of him.
Imric raised an eyebrow and turned back around in his seat to stare out the window.
"Weirdo..." he muttered.
"Imric? Would you please introduce yourself to the class before I take roll?" the teacher called out from her desk, startling Imric and causing his elbow to slip off the desk. he banged his chin and resisted the urge to swear, some of the boys laughed and their girlfriends told them to shut up.
Imric sighed and stood up, straightening his shirt, he cleared his throat and pushed his glasses up his nose,
"My name is Imric Kagushi, I?ve just transferred from Kyoto...." he looked at the snickering boys, "and I'm a Kendo expert who's in need of some exercise."
the boys shut up and exchanged worried glances.
Some girls giggled and started whispering,
"He?s so handsome."
"His voice is so dreamy."
"Oh, and those eyes!"

Imric banged his head on the desk softly, 'I thought I could leave that all behind.' he thought to himself.

The teacher took role and finished a few seconds before the bell rang for first period.
The whole class stood up and started to leave, Imric picked up his bag and just followed them, not wanting to cause too much of a fuss...unfortunately, by being a famous singer, that wouldn't be so easy.

OOC: Just what i was thinking Imi, we need some female characters, and owwww i just banged my toe of the desk (a bit off topic there, but it was sore)

IC:
Shaun made his way past his classmates and walked alone down towards the P.E block, [I]God i hate this, P.E drives me crazy, all the teachers here are such......[/I]

He seen the new guy walking down alone aswell, so he ran over to him "Yo, am Shaun, and you've got PE next"

Imric looked up "Yeh timetable" she waved his timetable in Shaun's face, Shaun said "I was just tellin ya, seein as yer new here, tryin to be nice but noooo"

Imric turned "Oh am sorry, never meant anything by it", Shaun replied "Yeh am just joking with yeh, so how you likin the school then"

"Erm, its alright, a bit big i suppose have to walk down 4 flights of stairs to get to PE from registration" said Imric

"Yeh you get used to it, or you can get someone to breaky your leg so you don't have to do PE and you can use the lift" Shaun laughed, Imric joined in

They walked the rest of the way down to PE talking about how crap the school was (lol)

OOC: Ok i'll let someone continue from here, and Imi, this post isn't that long :D, actually its quite short, sorry about that, lol.

[Anne]

Yukio walked down the hallway, hand thrusted in his pockets in deep thought. He was on his wat to his advanced English class. He always hated that class. A small paper ball rolled out next his and he kicked it. Watching the others around him he thought, [I]They are all usless everyone of them.[/I]

"Mister Maro."' Yukio tuened and looked at one of the members in the gang.

"What is it?" His voice cool and calm, yet having a tone that easly put one in there place.

"It seems there is a new stundent. His name is Imric Kagushi and he just tramsford in today."

"Really now." Yukiop grinned. "I shall think I will pay a visit to him after school to welcome him." Yukio gave a slight grin and you can see that he was thinking of something.

Reaching his classroom he sat down at his desk. The teacher Mrs. Mana looked over her class at Yukio, "Well it is good of you to join us Mr. Maro."

"Yeah, I decided to grace you with my presence." Mrs. Mana rollled her eyes and began the lesson.

[Doukeshi]

Leon grasped the straps of his bag slung over his shoulders and trotted after Kento on his way to PE. Whistling tunelessly he bopped his head to his own music, earning him several strange looks from passers by in the hall. Winking at several of the guys who walked past playfully Leon bounded down the several flights of stairs intent upon catching up to Kento.

Barging past two laughing boys on the stairs he suceeded in sending one of the boy's satchels bouncing rapidly down to the floor. Skidding to a halt at the base of the stairs Leon stooped to retrieve the bag, leaning against the rail Leon held out the bag to the boy glaring daggers as he decended.

"Here you go Shaun, sorry about that." Leon flashed him a grin and chuckled as the bag was snatched from his fingers. Running his hand through greying hair Leon raised an eyebrow as he watched the boy standing next to Shaun. Shaun on the other hand was severly P.O'd by Leon's carelessness.

"Watch where you're going next time Saguchi you..." Shaun's red faced tirade was cut short by Leon's hand in his face.

"Shhh..." turning to face Imric, Leon cocked his head slightly in interest, "you're new, I don't know you." Holding out his hand he grasped Imric's tightly and shaked it, grinning brightly. "I'm Leon"

[Lilt]

[b][font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=seagreen]OOC: I agree as well about the female characters. I would suggest asking someone to sign up as "the girl who falls in love with the guy, but is only best friends with him because he's gay." character. What do you think?[/color][/size][/font][/b]
[b][font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=seagreen][/color][/size][/font][/b]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=seagreen]Hockey...Kento both loved and hated hockey. It was a really fun sport, and he was good at it, but then again, a lot of the boys used it as an excuse to rough him up a little bit. Oh well, Kento was fast and he knew he could take it. Hearing footsteps behind him, Kento turned around, but there was no one there. They must have stopped a little while back. Kento shrugged his shoulder's and went into the boy's locker room to get ready for hockey.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=seagreen][/color][/size][/font]
[b][font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=seagreen]OOC: I'm sorry about the extremely short post, Imi, but I'm still getting used to this character. Also, I'm not sure what kind of hockey we're playing.[/color][/size][/font][/b]

[Ezekiel]

[B]OOC Someone is going to sign up as a female! *dances* I just got their PM[/B]

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]Imric looked at the boys hand, he recognised him as the one from before. He gave a fake smile and the beaming boy let go of his hand.
"So, watcha think of the school so far?" his voice was bright and happy, Imric cringed inside.
"We were just taking abo--" Shaun started but Imric cut him off, he had remembered that black haired boy from homeroom.
"I think it's okay....it could be better." he reached into his pocket and pulled out some pocky, sticking it between his lips.
"By the way...Leon....who was that guy you were talking to before?"

"Oh! You mean Kento?" Leon's eyes suddenly went all big and shiny, "Isn?t he the greatest?"
Imric just laughed and nodded slightly, Shaun looked totally weirded out so he carried on walking.
"Come on, Leon, if we hurry up so may still get to see Kento undressed....."
Leon sped off, "Catch you guys later!"

Imric blinked and laughed again, "Well that was cute."
Shaun gave him a weird look and they continued walking together.

The two of them reached the locker room and got dressed just in time. A few minutes later the PE teacher walked in, surveying the crowd before him.
"Right you morons."
Imric twitched.
"Today will be hard! We're playing hockey."
"Ice hockey?"
"NO! Hockey on the grass, you woosie (sp? @.@), you fall you get hurt....and we're wearing studs!"
Some boys shuddered and others grinned while cracking their knuckles. The teacher smiled sarcastically and looked at Imric,
"This will be a good welcoming for our new pretty boy here."[/COLOR]

[B]OOC hockey on grass, my fave ^______^ I didn?t mention (and I should have) that this RP is really going to be like an anime. Meaning that you can go wild with expressions. Like, you can have big chibi eyes or random objects falling from the air...like any good comedy anime would ^^ And if you know Gravitation, this is hugely based on that.[/B]

[Doukeshi]

Leon muttered to himself as he tightened the laces on his gym shoes. If there was any sport that the boy hated it was hockey. Hell, he only attended gym so he could see Kento in those cute shorts. Leon smiled whistfully as he imagined the shorts, not immediatley seeing the kit basket before walking unceremoniously into it and dumping himself onto the floor of the locker room. Shaking his head, Leon blinked and looked up at the passing students, scowling as they snickered.

"Get your ass up off the floor Saguchi! Quite playing about!" The coach's echoing roar resonated through the locker room. Rubbing his sore behind Leon clambered to his feet, making an obscene gesture at the coach's retreating back. Stuffing his hands in his pockets he followed the remaining class members out onto the playingfield.

"Kento wouldn't yell at me." Leon grumbled.

[Ezekiel]

[B]OOC I know this is practically dead...but I don?t wanna loose it just yet![/B]

[COLOR=SlateGray]Imric walked out by himself from the cloak room. He had seen how the coach had treated that Leon guy and he was still fuming because of him being insulted.
'This is not what it was supposed to be like.' he grumbled to himself.

Everyone got the equipment out and were sorted into teams. By some coincidence (I think not) all the known bullies and tough guys had been put on the same team.
Imric sighed and was voted to play centre, he nodded and stood opposite a guy that was about 6' 8'' tall. Imric looked up and squinted,
"How's the weather?" he asked coolly.
The guy ignored him and spat just a few inches from Imric's right foot. The boy growled and when the whistle blew he went into a full tackle, stealing the ball away effortlessly.

The other team were after him like a shot, he managed to dodge and actually scored a goal without getting hurt, but as he ran back towards the centre the goalie came out and 'accidentally' rammed into his side. Imric cried out and went flying into the person in front of him, landing in a very intimate position between his legs.
The boy blushed like crazy and tried to get up,
"Kento, oh my Kento are you okay?" That was Leon shouting as he tried to help his beloved up, only getting him more entangled with Imric's legs.
'Kento...' Imric felt the blood rush to his face and....somewhere much more troublesome.[/COLOR]

[B]OOC :p It begins?.[/B]

[Anne]

Yukio started to doze off as Mrs. Mana tought her lesson. A sudden thing hit him and made a cloud of dust. "What the hell." He was surprised by what had happened.

"Good to see you awake agaain Mr. Maro." Looking down he seen the hard chalkboard eraser sitting on his desk. A white powered covered his face, as a blaank stupified look was broadcast on his face.

The classroom tried to stuffle their laughter. Yukio got up and started to walk out the door. "Where do you think you are going."

"Well it seems I am going to be walking out the door, now doesn't it." He shoot back in a cool, calm tone. He open the door and left. The classroom uproared in laught as the teacher tried to get control over it.

Yukio walked throught the halls, hand shoved deep in his pocket. Looking at the window he seen the P.E. class playing hockey. "Maybe I'll go down and join them." He walked to the male locker room and threw his gym clothing on. His dragon tattoo showing down his arm. It drove the teachers crazy that he had it.

Walking out to the field he came out to the coach. "You mind if i join coach." He gave a half smile.

"Yeah sure whatever, Yukio." He said waving him away.

"What fun this will prove to be." He grinned and gave a small chuckle.

[Kieko]

[color=navy][I]Monike pretended to laugh as she walked down the halls towards the girls’ gym. One of the girls in her group had made yet another joke about Kento. This time it was about how the new kid, Imric, would be getting all the girls[/I] and [I]Kento.

“But seriously, isn’t he so cute?” Another girl asked.
“Who? Kento?” Monike asked, confused. The girl gave a repulsive look towards Monike.
“Ew! No! How could you even think that Monike?” The girl said, and Monike was surrounded by a group of appalled looks.
“You’re right. What was I thinking!” She said, and the girls looked satisfied and went back to talking.
“Anyway, I think we all agree that Imric is by far the cutest boy in school.” The girl finished. Monike and the rest of the group nodded in agreement and some girls gave smiles or giggles as they entered the locker room.
“I don’t know. That senior boy, Yukio Maro, he’s pretty cute, too.” One of the girls said, bringing a few ‘yeah ’s and other agreements from the group as they lined up and opened their lockers; their lockers were all in a row and all in the same section. Some were across from each other, but they were all near one another.
“So what do you think we’re doing today?” One of Monike’s real friends asked.
“Um, who cares?” Monike answered, followed by laughter, even from her friend, who knew that was true.

After everyone was dressed, they left the locker room and entered the gym to meet their teacher, Nancy. She was one in a million; she was smart, funny, and probably the nicest teacher in this school. And, her actions are so much like the students (but more mature and good) if they gave her a make over, she could pass as one of them. She’s also the youngest teacher, being only 27 years old and therefore almost all the other guy teachers want to go out with her and are constantly trying to win her affection. But no one’s succeeded so far.

“Hi girls! Today the boys are using the field, so we won’t be able to play soccer. In stead we’re going to stay in here and play basketball!” She said, trying to sound optimistic, even though she knew soccer was the class’s favorite sport, and therefore raised some groans and mumbling, even from the tom-boys.
“Why do we have to play basketball? I hate basketball!” One girl in Monike’s group said as they went to get a ball.
“I know! If those stupid boys weren’t there, we could play soccer! Nancy promised that we could play today!” Monike said.
“I wish those boys would just disappear!” One girl said and everyone in the group stopped and stared at her, awestruck and gaping. “Or they should at least build another field?” She said, questionably and this satisfied the girls as they grabbed their basketballs and showed they agreed to that comment by saying “yeah” or nodding. Monike was the first to get her ball, but the last to get on the court. She was trying to prolong the inevitable and not play basketball. But she finally got out on the court and began joining the class and shooting at random at the basket the rest of her group was at. It was going to be a long gym class.

OOC: *bows like Sakano* Sumimasen! Sumimasen! Sumimasen! (it's from Gravitation... n.n) Gomen for not posting yet, but I was having trouble thinking of a way for my character to enter the story (see my sign-up in the recruitment..er Adventure Inn or whatever it's called now). And I'm in kind of a slump with my RP's at the moment. ^^;
~~~
"Kanasawa-san? Kanasawa-san? Hello! WAKE UP!"
"Ne...?" Michiko finally sat up after the teacher had called her name about a hundred times.
"Unless you intend on failing my class, I suggest you pay attention."
"Yes, Mr. Yamato..."
[I]I can't help it if I couldn't sleep,[/I] Michiko thought. She managed to stay awake for the rest of the class, but her mind kept wandering. There were no cute boys in this class to stare at, and she had left her mangas at home. She wondered where that cute Kento boy was. [I]He wouldn't give me the time of day...[/I]
~~~
I'd post more but my brain is malfunctioning from lack of proper sleep...

[Lilt]

[i][font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=seagreen]Kento had noticed Imric's "affection" for him, and he decided to meet him after school. In the hallway at the end of the day, as everyone was getting ready to get on the bus, he tapped on Imric's shoulder. Imric turned around and Kento handed him a note and walked by. Imric opened up the folded piece of paper. It was completely blank except for some writing at the bottom, that read:[/color][/size][/font][/i]

[i][font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=seagreen]"And that's my plan. Come to the school's new building to learn more."[/color][/size][/font][/i]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=seagreen][/color][/size][/font]
[i][font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=seagreen]Later that day, Kento waited inside the school's new building. Imric walked in, holding the note.[/color][/size][/font][/i]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=seagreen]"What was this about?" [i]He asked.[/i][/color][/size][/font]
[i][font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=seagreen]Kento grabbed the note and took it from him. He read it and threw it over his shoulder.[/color][/size][/font][/i]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=seagreen]"Oops, I gave you the wrong note. Sorry."[/color][/size][/font]
[i][font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=seagreen]Imric looked around the room. It was completely bare, and didn't even have real windows in it, yet. The school was building it for a storage shed or something.[/color][/size][/font][/i]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=black][spoiler][i]The sound of a door slamming, made Imric turn around to see something he did not expect. Kento was naked, with his back to the door. He swaked up to Imric, who started blushing. Kento put a hand on Imric's shoulder and he whispered in his ear.[/i][/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=black]"I noticed your sign of affection for me in hockey...Let's see if I wasn't just imagining things."[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=black][i]Kento kissed Imric, and started to unzip his pants...[/i][/spoiler][/color][/size][/font]

[Ezekiel]

[B]OOC If you don?t like yaoi then don?t highlight that spoilered section! Just thought I'd warn you...[/B]

[COLOR=SlateGray][SPOILER]Imric gasped as he felt Kento start to unzip his pants. He had never imagined that anything like this would happen to him so quickly and that it would feel so right. He brought his hands up and rested them on Kento's chest, sliding them around to his back and pulling him closer.
Kento breathed in his ear and nibbled at it causing Imric to let out a low moan. He felt his pants fall to the floor and his boxers followed.
Smirking, Imric pushed Kento against the wall. Kento grinned and pulled Imric into a deep kiss, his fingers wrapped in his thick, long hair,
The two kissed and rubbed up against each other as they could feel themselves about to climax, Imric had never felt anything so great in his life and after it had happened he was smiling broadly.[/SPOILER]

He looked at Kento, who was smiling but still panting pretty heavily,
"Not bad for a beginner." he laughed.
Imric smiled and kissed Kento again, he pushed his glassed up his nose and picked his discarded clothes up off the floor.
"You weren?t too bad yourself." he replied, as he got dressed,
"So, where are you staying?"
"10 minutes away, it?s a run down apartment but I manage."
"Want to come and stay with me for a while? My apartment in the centre of town...it?s pretty big....and the bath fits two...." Imric trailed off and went to the door, he looked over his shoulder at Kento and flashed him a sexy grin.
"Join me?"
Kento grinned and bounded over to Imric, hugging him tightly from behind.
"As long as you have food."[/COLOR]

[B]OOC My first piece of mature content! I'm so proud, lol[/B]

[Talon]

[color=teal][i]Midori Yamada slowly walked down the street, sighing heavily. She'd heard all about the new student, Imric, from the girls in the locker room. She didn't like girls like that, it was just...she sighed, remembering her uncle's shopping needed doing. Sometimes, her days were just too slow for her NOT to look forward to the mundane things. As she walked down the street, her attention was caught by a small flower shop. The window display, full of roses and magnolias, caught Midori's breath. As she bent down to retrieve the bookbag she'd dropped, her eyes still on the display, she never noticed the two young men bumping into her from behind. Almost jumping in surprise, Midori turned and caught her breath. Standing before her was the most handsome man she'd ever seen, moreso even than Ranma (though she'd never admit to having a crush on that girl magnet!), and he'd bumped right into her![/i]

[b]Imric:[/b]Oh, I'm sorry. I guess I didn't see you, there.

[i]Midori shook her head, clearing the spiderwebs that had accumulated between her ears, and looked up at the young man before her.[/i]

[b]Midori:[/b]Anou, it's alright. I was blocking the path, so you really shouldn't apologize....

[i]Kento, recognizing the girl from school (the uniform had nothing to do with it!) and recognizing the plight og your average school girl, decided to help her out.[/i]

[b]Kento:[/b]Hey, Imric, why don't we introduce ourselves, eh?

[b]Imric:[/b]Ah, gomen. My name's Imric Kagushi, and this is my friend, Kento Ishuka.

[i]Midori sketched a quick, polite bow to the new boys. She recognized Kento fairly well, but she didn't expect him to recognize her after seven months of seperate classes. As it was, being near this boy who'd introduced himself as Imric was getting very hard. Midori's breathing was constricting, her eyes were becoming unfocused. She had to get out of there![/i]

[b]Midori:[/b]Anou....my...my name's Midori Yamada. It...um...it's a pleasure to meet you both. I'm sorry, I have to get over to my uncle's clinic, and soon...

[b]Imric:[/b]Oh, your uncle owns a clinic?

[b]Midori:[/b]Anou...yes, my uncle is Dr. Tofuu Ono, the local chiropractor and herbalist. He...he's very well known in Nerima....

[i]And, let there be light!, Kento recognized her. Finally.[/i]

[b]Kento:[/b]Oh, wait! I recognize you now! You used to be in my class a while ago!

[b]Midori:[/b]H..hai. I'm sorry, I have to be going.

[b]Kento:[/b]Wait, we can't let you walk there all by yourself, it would be impolite.

[i]Kento spared Imric a quick glance, and all he got was a shrug. As it was, Midori was getting almost completely flustered at ebing near the tall boy next to her. As they walked her to her uncle's office, she couldn't help but steal glances at Imric every now and then.[/i][/color]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I hope that's acceptable for an opening post. PM me if you need anything edited.

[Ezekiel]

[B]OOC Your post is perfect ^_^ Arigato[/B]

[COLOR=SlateGray]Imric walked with his hands in his pockets, in total silence. Kento was bouncing along happily, chatting with the girl who they had just met, he obviously knew her so Imric wasn?t bothered.
He glanced at Kento over the girls head and smiled to himself, he was starting to fall for someone....and fall heavily.

"So..." Imric started off, he looked down at Midori and smiled a small, but very sexy, white smile.
The girl blushed and nodded slightly,
"Yes, Kagushi-kun?"
"Your Uncle, I've heard of him....I believe my father and he used to be associates."
Midori blinked and just kept looking at Imric, relishing the opportunity to memorize his features.
"Ah, gomen....I must be mistaken....it doesn?t matter."
Imric gave Midori another heart melting smile and continued to walk, swaying his hips ever so slightly.
"So, fancy having lunch, Midori-chan?"
"What? Oh no, I mustn?t, I have chores."
"Come on, we'll help you with your chores and then lunch will be on me." that was Imric, he looked down at Midori and winked,
"Whatever you want, since you're so cute." he pinched her cheek in a playful way and chuckled to himself. Kento shook his head and smiled slightly, he brushed his bangs away from his sky blue eyes and looked to the building ahead.
"Ah, this must be his clinic, ne?" he asked.
Midori nodded and when they reached the door she bowed quickly and went to go inside, just before she closed the door though, Imric's foot jammed it open,
"Here's my number, call me when you're free and we'll do lunch, okay?"
"H...hai!" Midori stuttered out happily as she shut the door.

"Well she was nice." Imric said, taking more pocky from his jeans pocket and munching on it.
"You should learn not to flirt so openly." Kento chuckled.
Imric blushed and glared at him, "Nani? I wasn?t flirting, I was being polite."
"....Flirting."
"Urasaii!"[/COLOR]

[Kieko]

[color=navy][i]OCC: Can we stick to one language? Lol, just kidding ^_^.
_______________________
Monike took a shot and it swished silently through the hoop.[/I] If only everything could be that silent… [I]Monike thought, retrieving her ball and trying not to get hit by anyone else’s. She went to the left elbow and took another shot. This time it banked and went in. She ran over and got her ball again before walking over to a group of girls that was forming at the top of the key.

“Hey, Monike, I’m having a party on Saturday. You should come. There’ll be food and a pool and guys.” The girl in the center of the group said. Her name was Ashley and she had a twin brother, Adam.
“What guys?” Monike asked.
“Well, I’m inviting some girls from this school, and my brother’s inviting the guys, so I don’t know what guys are there, but I told him to invite Imric and Yukio. I don’t think he knows Yukio, though. Just to be sure, would you give him this invite?” Ashley said, handing Monike a small, neatly sealed, pure white envelope. Monike took it.
“Sure. I see him in the halls after school, anyway. His locker is literally right around the corner from mine. I might want to warn you, though, he may not be too into going to a party where most everyone, if not everyone, is a year younger than him.” Monike pointed out.
“So tell him to invite his friends, too! Then he won’t be the only older boy.”
“Alright, girls. That’s enough. This is basketball, not a social. Come on, get back to your hoops.” Nancy said, breaking up the group and herding them back to their courts.

Monike folded the envelope so that it was smaller than her palm and she stuffed it in her chest pocket on her shirt before returning to her court. Once at the right baseline corner, she shot the ball. The bell rang just then and the ball hit the rim and bounced back to Monike. She put it in the cart and went into the locker room to change and join the rest of the students in the race for the buses. At her hallway locker, after she got her backpack, she checked around the corner to see Yukio. She walked up to him.

“Hi, Yukio?”
“That’s me. Who wants to know?”
“I do. I was hoping that you and your friends would come to Ashley’s pool party on Saturday.” She said handing him the envelope. He took it and gave a scoff.
“Whatever.” He said, walking away.

Monike felt like a total idiot and went to the bus and sat next to one of her friends, Amy.

“Tough day?” She asked.
“No, tough last thirty seconds.” Monike replied, sighing.
“Well why don’t you come by my apartment and we can hang out? You can call your mom and tell her you’re there.”
“That’d be great.” Monike said, giving a grin. “So you want to help me with my science project? It’s due Friday and I haven’t even started.”
“Only if you’ll help me with mine.”
“Oh yeah, we’re in the same class, aren’t we?”
“Yeah…” Amy and Monike both laughed as the bus stopped and they got out, heading into the apartment building in front of them.
“Hi Monike, Amy, how are you?” The clerk asked.
“We’re good, Shell.” Monike answered. The clerk’s real name was Shelley, but Shell had been their nick-name for her since they were two. “Hey, if you’re not busy, could you look up all you can on Diabetes and Emphysema?”
“Why?”
“Well, we’ve got science projects due.” Amy said.
“Heh, sure thing.” Shelley said. And she turned to her computer.
“Thanks.” Monike said and Amy and her got on the elevator and pressed the number 22, causing it to light up. Once they got to the floor, the light went out and the door opened with a “ding”. Monike and Amy crossed the hall right to Amy’s apartment and entered.
“Hi mom!” Amy yelled.
“No need to yell, Amy, I’m right here.” She said from the stove. She turned and saw Monike. “Oh, hi Monike. Call your mom and tell her you can stay for dinner.”
“Thanks, Mrs. Heggen.” She said, but Mrs. Heggen had already turned and was cooking what smelled like vegan stir fry. Monike picked up the phone and dialed 2403, her room number. Her mom picked up.
“Hello?”
“Hi mom, it’s Monike.”
“Hi. Eating at Amy’s?”
“Yeah.”
“Don’t you work tonight?”
“No, I get Wednesdays off.”
“Oh, ok. Call me if you’re staying the night.”
“Ok, bye.”
“Bye.” And Monike heard a click at the other end of the line. She hung up as well.
“My mom said that I could stay the night, too if you would let me.” She said, turning to Mrs. Heggen.
“Fine with me.” Mrs. Heggen said.
“I’ll get my stuff later.” Monike said.
“We’ll be in my room!” Amy called, and they disappeared into her room.[/color][/I]

[B]OOC lol, sorry Kieko[/B]

[COLOR=SlateGray]Imric had left Kento at his apartment and he had decided to go shopping.
"Flirting my ass..." he grumbled as he chewed on a pocky stick, it was a habit that he was slowly getting into.
He then noticed another, taller, boy walking over to him. He smiled slightly, showing no true emotion in his eyes, and nodded. The boy was a classmate, Adam, he recognised him from history class.
"Yo, Imric!"

"Hey...."

"This is from my sister, Ashley, it's an invite." he pulled out an envelope that was adorned with hearts and bunnies all over it with the name 'Imric Kagushi' scrawled in purple pen across the front in typical girls handwriting.
Imric cringed inside as he took the envelope, he forced a smile onto his pained face and nodded again.
"I'll think about it..." he said politely, his posh accent seeped through and it seemed to agitate Adam.
"Listen you stuck up prissy," he spat, grabbing Imric by collar, "You [I]will[/I] go to that party, whether it?s in one piece will be up to you..."
"I don?t like being threatened...." Imric said coolly, his voice turned from polite to poison. His eyes narrowed and with one swift jab he had Adam bent double holding his stomach.
"Now, if you'll excuse me..." he went to walk away but was stopped by two even [I]bigger[/I] guys.
"Hello there." he said sarcastically while raising a blue, well kept eyebrow.
The two cracked their knuckles and grinned stupidly,
"Not much in the talking department, eh?" Imric started as he crouched into an attack position, just as he was about to lash out with a well placed kick at the larger of the two boys he was grabbed into a full nelson by someone very strong form behind.

"What the hell?" Imric shouted and tried to break free but the hold was too strong. Just then he noticed his saviour, Kento was strolling down the street oblivious to what he was about to walk into....just as Imric tried to call out, he was punched in the gut, almost knocking him out. he prayed that Kento would notice him soon.[/COLOR]

[B]OOC Please continue, Taryn, we can?t have Imric without Kento ^^[/B]

[Lilt]

[b][font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=seagreen]OOC: I hope I'm not making Kento too strong, or too weak, Crucifix.[/color][/size][/font][/b]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=seagreen][/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=seagreen]Kento hoped that he would be able to catch up with soon. He had forgot to tell him that he was out of milk, at his apartment. Finally arriving at the market, Kento slowed down to a stroll. When he walked in, he saw something he didn't expect. Someone was holding onto Imric, while a second person was beating him up, and a third was watching.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=seagreen]"Imric!" Kento yelled.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=seagreen]Everyone turned and looked at Kento. The third bully walked over to him, cracking his knuckles.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=seagreen]"I'm afraid that your boyfriend's a little busy..."[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=seagreen]The bully clipped Kento in the jaw, knocking him down.[/color][/size][/font]
[i][font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=seagreen][b]"word must have traveled fast about Imric and I." Kento thought. "I should've warned him that this would've happened. I should've warned him that he would just get hurt."[/b][/color][/size][/font][/i]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=seagreen]Kento wiped the blood from his mouth, and ran at the bully, who blocked his face with his fists, just like Kento had expected him to do. Kento slid into the bully's legs, knocking him flat on his face. The bully that was beating Imric up, walked over to Kento, seeing that his friend had been taken care of.[/color][/size][/font]

[Ezekiel]

[COLOR=SlateGray]Imric fell to his knees and coughed up blood as Adam dropped him and advanced on Kento. Kento got to his feet and growled at the back of his throat as he watched Adam, he clenched his fists and got ready to hit him.

As Adam got closer, his friend came to join in on the beating up. No one in the shop because they knew they would only get it worse...not many people liked homosexuals anyway.

Imric managed to get up but he stumbled slightly just managing to catch himself from falling by grabbing a self. But he slipped and the whole display fell, landing ontop of him and burying him.
People around laughed and some cheered, Adam and his friend were in fits of laughter as Kento worriedly ran over to Imric and helped him up.

He got his boyfriends arm over his shoulder and pulled the shorter boy up.
"You'll pay for this, you bastard." he spat, his deep blue eyes were burning with anger as he said it and Adam just snorted.
"I look forward to it, fag." he and his friend then pushed past Imric and Kento, not caring about he other people in their way.

Kento managed to drag Imric single handed back to his apartment and lie him on the bed. Imric groaned and brought a hand up to his forehead. He sighed and looked at Kento from the corner of his eye,
"I'm...pathetic...."[/COLOR]

[B]OOC Yes, Imric is a VERY depressed Bishie.....he can?t help it, lol[/B]

[Lilt]

[b][font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=seagreen]OOC: That's the best kind, Crucifix. ;)[/color][/size][/font][/b]

[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=seagreen]Kento wondered what to do. He was never good with first aid, and Imric was beaten up pretty badly. It wasn't anything fatal, but it did look rather painful. Kento couldn't help think that this was all his fault.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=seagreen][b][i]"If I had never loved Imric, this would've never happened to him..."[/i][/b][/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=seagreen]Kento was snapped out of his thoughts as the phone rang. He answered it.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=seagreen][b]"hello?"[/b] He asked.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=seagreen][b]"D-Did you guys still want to go out to lunch?"[/b] Midori's voice answered nervously, on the other end.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=seagreen]Kento couldn't have been more relieved. Midori could come over and help him take care of Imric.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=seagreen][b]"Forget about lunch right now, Midori. Imric's hurt, and I need your help. Can you come over right away?"[/b][/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=seagreen]Midori said that she could, and Kento put up the phone after he heard her hang up. He then walked back over to Imric's side. Imric winced and held up his hand.[/color][/size][/font]
[b][font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=seagreen]"Imric...I'm sorry for being so pathetic..."[/color][/size][/font][/b]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=seagreen]Kento grabbed Imric's hand, gently.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=seagreen][b]"Don't apologize, Imric. It was all my fault. Midori's on her way here, she'll help me take care of you.[/b]"[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=seagreen]Now all Kento could do was wait by Imric's side until Midori showed up...[/color][/size][/font]

[Talon]

[i][color=teal]Midori hung up the phone and sped off into the clinic part of her uncle's home. As she began gathering bandages, ointments, and herbal remedies, she looked at the clock and began to swear inwardly to herself. Why was Uncle Tofuu in Nerima with that Kasumi woman?! Midori sighed, grateful at least for the fact that her uncle had taught her what he knew about shiatsu and herbal medicine. Gathering up all of her meager supplies, she almost made it to the door before she had to stop and grab her bracers. Imric was hurt, and if Midori had anything to say about, the person that hurt him was going to find out why Midori was Ranma Saotome's favorite student.

As she ran down the street to Kento's apartment, she caught a glimpse of Ashley's brother, Adam, and his two goons laughing at something or other. As she ran past them, Adam grabbed her arm forcefully.[/i]

[b]Adam:[/b]Well, hello there, Midi-chan. Been a while. Where ya goin' with those supplies?

[i]Midori, ignoring the grip on her arm, calmly bit out her answer, anxious to get to Imric before he got worse.[/i]

[b]Midori:[/b]DON'T call me "Midi-chan", Adam. And if you must know, the new guy at school's been injured, and I'm on my way to help him.

[i]At this, Adam and his goons began guffawing, Adam tightening his grip on Midori's arm.[/i]

[b]Adam:[/b]Imric? I handed that pathetic faggot hi- GURK!!!!

[i]The two goons quickly stopped laughing as Adam stumbled, Midori's left hand drawing back from the knife-hand chop to his throat. Without even dropping the medical bag, she twisted at the waist, pivoted on her right leg, and brought her left foot crashing against Adam's temple, knocking him to the ground, dazed. Seeing Adam go down, the two goons tried to gang-rush Midori, but stopped cold when she jumped over their heads and kicked each in the knob just at the back of the neck, knocking them out. As she landed, she grabbed Adam by the collar and hoisted him up without any trouble at all.[/i]

[b]Midori:[/b]Don't you DARE hurt anybody EVER again, Adam. How would you like the whole school to know that a "weak and pathetic girl" kicked your tail?!

[i]Midori gave a brief growl, her temper getting away with her, as Adam fainted. Dropping the sorry boy in a heap, she sighed and dashed off to Kento's apartment, almost knocking the door down as she banged on it. When Kento opened the door, he almost yanked the poor girl inside.[/i]

[b]Kento:[/b]What took you so long?!

[b]Midori:[/b]I'm sorry, I ran into Adam and he wouldn't let me go until I told him I had to help Imric....

[i]Kento almost stumbled when he heard that, but Midori rapped him upside the head. At that, Kento took Midori into his room, where Imric was laying, his eyes half open and a trail of blood seeping from his mouth. With a small "Eep!", midori bent down and took out her supplies. Looking up at Kento, she gulped audibly. She really didn't like this part. Well, she did, but it made her really nervous.[/i]

[b]Midori:[/b]Umm....Kento....um...could you....um...take off....Imirc's..shirt....I...need...

[i]With a wave of his hand, Kento silenced the poor girl and, as gently as he could manage with his hands shaking so bad, lifted Imric's upper body with one arm and removed his shirt with the other, wiping the blood off of his chin. Midori gasped at the sight of all of the bruises. Taking a deep breath and schooling her face into a look of concentration and determination, Midori tapped a few shiatsu points to lessen the pain Imric was in, then pushed one more to regulate his breathing. With that, Imric's eyes opened completely, the pain gone. As he tried to get up, Midori pushed him back down gently. Silencing him with a finger to his lips and tapping a shiatsu point that left him peacefully restful for a while, Midori bit her own and grabbed a mixing cup and a couple of herbs. After using her pestle to mix them into a more or less powdery form, she grabbed a kettle of hot water that Kento had nearby and poured some into the cup. She handed the cup to Kento, who looked at her quizically.[/i]

[b]Midori:[/b]Drink it. It'll calm your nerves. You look like you're about to have a breakdown.

[b]Kento:[/b]O-ok. Umm...how..how is he?

[b]Midori:[/b]It's not as bad as it looks. He has a couple of cracked ribs, but that's the worst of it. The blood in his lungs will clear up after he drinks some eucalyptus tea. The bruises, though, aren't going to go away for a little while, and I think Imric has a concussion.

[i]That being said, Midori grabbed an herbal paste and began applying it gently to Imric's bruises, massaging it into the skin. After she'd covered each bruise, she wrapped his chest in bandages, making certain that they weren't tight enough to restrict his breathing, but not loose enough to aggravate the bruises, either. As she finished that, she looked into her bag and cursed.[/i]

[b]Midori:[/b]Kento, I'm out of eucalyptus leaves. I need you to run to this address and tell the old lady, Ms. Kobayashi, that Midori needs eucalyptus leaves. Go, quickly!

[i]With a quikc nod of his head, Kento dashed out of the apartment. Midori sat at Imric's side, massaging his muscles out of the tense knots they were in. As her medical attitude drained away, what she was doing caught up to her, and quickly. An atomic blush on her cheeks, she gently ran a finger along Imric's frame, marvelling at how good it felt to be this close to a boy. Sighing, she lost herself in the moment, whispering almost imperceptibly as she bent down near Imric's face.[/i]

[b]Midori:[/b] (How...how does he make me feel this way? And why does it feel so....nice?)

[i]Midori's mind finally caught up to her when, almost ten seconds after her lips had met Imric's, his lips responded to hers. Her eyes opening wide with shock, she almost fell off of the bed. Instead she settled for slamming back and curling up in the corner, an atomic blush on her face. As her memory caught up to her and she remembered what she'd done, tears began spilling from her eyes. Burying her face in her knees, she mumbled apology after apology as Imric lay on the bed, wide-eyed and deep in thought.[/i][/color]

[Ezekiel]

[B]OOC Wow, that was a great post![/B]

[COLOR=SlateGray]Imric just lay there staring at the ceiling; he looked at Midori out of the corner of his eye and sighed,
"Why in the hell did you do that?" his question was less than gentle.
Midori whimpered and curled herself up even more like she was trying to defend herself, Imric sighed again,
"I'm sorry, why did you do that? We've only just met." he tried to sit up and groaned as he felt pain shoot through his chest. He collapsed back down to the bed and raised a pale hand to his brow, wiping away the sweat.

Midori stood up, she could feel herself shaking as she walked over to Imric,
"I...I'm not sure why I did that..."
"Bullshit."
Midori whimpered as she began to notice Imric's true personality,
"Listen! I can?t help it if I feel this way towards you!"
"So how do you feel...?" Imric's voice turned form harsh to gentle, he propped himself up onto his elbows and motioned for Midori to come closer to him. As she did he brought her head down and whispered in her ear,
"How do you feel about me?" his voice was so soft, barley above a whisper but Midori caught every bit of it.
"I...I think I..."
Imric silenced her with a finger pressing gently on her lips.
"There's something you should know...it?s about Kento and I."
Midori froze, her face went slightly pale and she hoped that what she thought was wrong,
"We're....a couple now." the boy sighed and brushed a couple of stray hairs from his deep green eyes.
"Where are my glasses?"
"That doesn't matter." now Midori's voice was firm, she had questions and Imric would answer them.
"Are you two in love?"
At that Imric laughed softly, he looked up at Midori and smiled,
"Love is a very strong word, Midori-chan," his voice was patronising, like he was speaking to a small child and Midori frowned,
"We're lovers not in love...there is a very big difference."
Midori could feel the tears welling up in her eyes and before she could make her escape they came out in floods,
"How could you?!" she shouted, she grabbed her bag and fled from the apartment leaving Imric alone and in a state of mild shock.
He cursed and got himself into a sitting position, as he tried to walk to the bathroom he collapsed and spluttered, flecks of blood shot from his dry lip and stained the carpet.
"God dammit.....Kento...where the hell are you?" Imric rolled over onto his back and just lay on the carpet as he tried to ignore the pain building up inside his rib cage, after only a few minutes, he fell asleep.[/COLOR]

[Kieko]

[color=orange][I]After changing into something a little more casual, Amy and Monike bounced onto Amy’s queen-sized bed. They took out their notebooks and pencils and textbooks and began to take notes on chapters 17-19, just as the teacher had instructed. A lot of the notes helped the two with their science report. That’s why they picked Emphysema and Diabetes, the whole 17th and 18th chapters were about them. Aparently no one else in their class noticed because they were the only ones to get those diseases. In fact, it’s probably because none of them had ever opened the book. Who says you can’t get good grades on less work? After they had taken the notes, they gathered their supplies. Amy let Monike borrow a poster board, since she already had one of her own. They leaned the boards up against the bed and collected colored paper, markers, pencils, pens, scissors and glue and set them on the floor by the posters before leaving to get their information from Shell.

“Mom! We’re going to visit Shell! We’ll be right back!” Amy yelled.
“How many times to I have to tell you?! You don’t need to yell!” She said, turning around, but they were already gone. So, with a sigh she went back to cooking.

The girls didn’t even put their shoes on, they went down in their bare feet. Monike pushed the “down” elevator button. And it lit up with a green light. Once the elevator “dinged” the light went out and the door opened, allowing two sophisticated-looking people to step into the hallway. Seeing the two girls with no shoes and baggy clothing, the woman looked at the man and took out her purse, pressing a twenty into each of the girl’s hands and patting them on the head before walking away. The girls boarded the elevator and, once the door closed, they burst out laughing, stuffing the twenties in their pockets.

“Maybe we should go everywhere like this! Then we’d make twenty dollars a day!” Monike joked.
“Yeah. Kids in school like to dress all neat and fancy, but casual and baggy will do the trick if you want money!” Amy said. They both continued to laugh even when they stepped out of the elevator and up to the clerk.

“Hey, Shell. Got the papers?” Amy asked. Shelley turned around in her chair and handed them a stack of papers.
“I highlighted the important stuff, so you don’t have to go through it.” She said.
“You are so smart, you’re fast! What are you doing at a job like this?” Monike asked.
“Enjoying company like you!” She answered.
“Ok, well we’ve gotta go! See you later!” Amy said and they jumped back on the elevator. Once at the top, they sped into Amy’s apartment and straight to her room, not even looking at her mom. They went through the facts and Monike typed up the good facts on the computer because she loved to type while Amy pasted pictures and the colored paper onto the poster boards, also drawing and coloring the titles. When Monike was done, she cut the information and handed them to Amy in two piles; one for Diabetes, Amy, and one for Emphysema, Monike. They pasted the facts onto the colored paper. Some crooked to add “creativity”. Each fact sheet had it’s own sheet of colored paper. They always did it that way, it was an easy “A” because it looked nice to the teachers. Once they were done, they realized that they didn’t have any other homework! They had done History in Social Studies, Social Studies in Math, and Math in study hall.

“We should invite Jessica and Ashley over!” Amy said.
“Sure! Tell them to come over in their indoor soccer things. We’ll go to the gym and play!” Monike suggested. And Amy dialed 1-800-867-5309 into the phone and put the receiver to her ear. She heard two rings before someone picked up.
“Hello?” Answered a voice on the other line. It sounded like Jessica’s younger brother.
“Hi. It’s Amy. Is Jessica there?”
“Yeah, hold on.” He said and Amy could hear the boy shouting Jessica all over their house. Amy heard another receiver pick up on the other line.
“Hi, Amy. It’s me, Jessi.”
“‘Hi Amy. It’s me, Jessi.’ Mah, mah, mah-mah!” Jessica’s brother had apparently not set down the phone.
“Get off, twerp face! I’m trying to talk to my friend!” Jessica yelled.
“Yeesh.” Was all that Amy heard until she heard his receiver hang up.
“Sorry about that.” Jessica said.
“That’s ok. Anyway, I was wondering if you could come over.”
“Sure.”
“Bring your indoor soccer stuff. We’re going to the gym.”
“Ok.”
“Bye, Jessi.”
“Bye-byes, Amy!” And Jess hung up, followed by Amy. Amy punched in 1-800-522-6582 and put the phone to her ear. It rang at least five times before someone picked up.
“Hello?”
“Hi, Ashley?”
“This is her.”
“Hi, it’s Amy.”
“Hi, Amy.”
“I was wondering if you could come over.”
“I can’t. I’ve gotta take care of my brother. That freak, Kento and one of his girlfriends beat the s*** out of him. And can you believe that Imric helped?!”
“Woah. What happened?”
“Well, I don’t know for sure, but he said that he was just walking down the street when he passed Imric and gave him my invite. He said that then, all of a sudden, Imric punched him in the gut and that Kento and another girl came over and beat him half to death.”
“Jeez. Well, you take care.”
“Bye.”
“Bye.” And they hung up. Amy told the story to Monike and they both agreed that, when Jessi got there, they would go give Kento and Imric a piece of their minds. They slipped on their shoes and joined Jessi on the elevator, explaining to her what happened and their new plan. Which definitely didn’t involve playing soccer.[/color][/I]

[Talon]

[color=teal][i]She didn't care where she ran, she didn't care how far. All she cared about was running from the pain, from the words Imric had said. She ran from the way they echoed, the way they hurt her. She ran from her tears, a martial artist never cried. But how do you keep from crying when the one you love admits that he isn't in love with the one he's sleeping with?[/i]

"We're lovers, not in love."

[i]A fresh gout of pain erupted in Midori's chest as she ran, from exhertion or heartache she didn't know and she didn't care. All she cared about was running from those words, running from that admission. Running from her feelings, from what her heart was telling her.[/i]

"We're lovers, not in love."

[i]How could you not be in love with your lover? Midori's heart asked her that question even as it told her that she still had a chance. If he wasn't in love with Kento, couldn't that mean he might be able to fall in love with her?[/i]

"We're lovers, not in love."

[i]Midori slowed down and began to walk slowly to Kento's apartment, finding that she'd been running blindly in an alley. Sighing with shame, Midori made her way out of the alley and found herself across from Mrs. Kobayashi's store, where Kento was arguing with the old lady.[/i]

[b]Kento:[/b]Aw, c'mon! Midori said she needs these leaves!

[b]Kobayashi:[/b]Why would that angel need the leaves, eh? What's she done to hurt anybody?! Who's hurt that sweet little girl, eh? And why would she send a punk like YOU to get the leaves, eh?

[i]Almost giggling, though her heartache kept her in check, Midori walked up to help the distraught boy.[/i]

[b]Midori:[/b]It's alright, Mrs. Kobayashi. I needed the leaves for a patient and didn't have time to get them myself. I came to see what was taking so long.

[i]With profuse apologies, Mrs. Kobayashi gave Midori some eucalyptus leaves and a handful of stress beads. When Midori lifted her head, the old lady wiped away one of the tears that were still flowing down Midori's cheeks. Blushing in embarassment and shame, Midori turned and walked with Kento back to the apartment. As they reached Kento's door, they were surprised to meet three irate young women at the door. All of whom saw the tears that refused to stop staining Midori's face. And all of whom got even madder.[/color][/i]

[B]OOC *revives this RP because she is bored*[/B]

[COLOR=SlateGray]Imric sighed from his place on the floor as he heard banging and shouts from outside. He looked up and managed to pull himself into a sitting position.

"Kento?"

There was no reply, just another bang and then a shout from a girl.
'Midi-san?' Imric stood up, wincing in pain as he went but managed to get to the door, he grasped the handle and pulled it open, only to be barrelled back into the room by an angry girl.

His head whacked the table leg and he groaned in even more pain, just then he looked up right into the face of his attacker.

"What was that shit you pulled on my brother, what the hell did he do to you?!"
Imric was silent, his piercing green eyes never left the girls, he matched her anger with his pain and coldness, not leaving her face.
She blushed and turned away,
"You're gonna pay for that!" she threw a punch but Imric blocked it,
"I may not look strong, but please, don?t insult me with this challenge."

He stood up, twisting the girls wrist as he went, she whimpered in pain and fell to her knees.
"Ba...bastard."
Imric let her go,
"I've been called worse."
The sound of a kick sent one girl stumbling backwards, Midori in front of her, Kento knocked out on the floor behind.
Midori's cheek was bruised and her lip was bleeding, but she held her ground strongly. Imric never knew how powerful she was, he had never meant to hurt her the way he had.

"We'll be back, punks, and you can?t hide from us in school!" with that the girls left, shouting back insults as they went.
Kento groaned and lifted his head,
"What happened?" the sight he saw was not encouraging, Imric and Midori staring each other down in the centre of the room, Midori's fist clenched, a tear running down her face and Imric chest heaving from the exertion of the fight.
As Imric was about to speak, he choked, his eyes went wide as his glasses fell and he clutched at his rib cage.
Before he knew what had happened....he was welcomed by black once again.[/COLOR]
