"Stop it, would ya?!" Tomoya shouts at a carefree Youhei, making the blond freeze in his seat, wondering why his friend is angry.

This happened right as Tomoyo walked into their classroom. She was planning on eating lunch with them, but hearing their voices raise in volume threw her off. 

Never before has she seen the two boys appear angry, especially Sunohara.

"Huh? What's your problem?" Youhei's grin that can only be described as stupid disappears.

"You know damn well what it is. Your little sister! You sit there cracking jokes while Mei is worried sick about you, and yet you don't seem to care!"

"What's it to ya?" The blond gives his friend a confused yet defensive stare.

Tomoya stands up quickly, causing his chair to screech. "Maybe I was wrong... Maybe I can't get through to you using words alone."

Youhei sighs. "What, you wanna see who's taller or somethin'?"

"Get up."

Youhei stands, and the two glare at each other.

The other girls in the classroom, Nagisa, Kyou, Ryou, Kotomi, and now Tomoyo were all observing the situation in worry.

Before either of the boys could start a fistfight, Kyou and Tomoyo step in between them to chastise them, and Youhei leaves with an annoyed click of the tongue while Okazaki glares at his retreating back.

Tomoyo sighs. "You mind telling me what that was about?" She demands of Okazaki.

Seeing that her boyfriend is too angry to talk, Nagisa explains, "Back when Sunohara was a freshman, he was kicked off the soccer team for starting a fight with the other members when they were bullying one of the weaker players. As a result, the first year players were disqualified from all their games and tournaments that year. After well over a year since then, Sunohara's little sister Mei is trying to persuade him to rejoin the team. All she wants is for him to be happy."

'So Sunohara starts fights to protect others, too. That certainly is surprising,' Tomoyo thinks with secret admiration before she shakes her head and focuses on the task at hand.

"Did any of you consider the possibility that maybe he doesn't want to go back to a group of jocks that he doesn't get along with?" The Student Council President crosses her arms with obvious disappointment. She can't believe she feels the need to stick up for the person that always harasses her and accuses her of being a man.

Okazaki scowls. "Who cares how he feels? This is about his sister."

He stomps away, leaving the classroom.

All the girls squirm with unease.

Tomoyo feels that there is a lot more to this situation than meets the eye.

"I'm going to find his sister and guard her. I fear that the Soccer Club will attempt to do something bad to her should she come to them and if they're as bad now as they were back then."

"I'm coming with you," Kyou and Nagisa chorus.

After getting Yukine's advice, Tomoyo and Kyou accompanied Okazaki, Nagisa, and Mei to the Soccer Club building.
