I had seen it before, the scars that he had all over his body. The terrible cuts and bruises that he self inflicted on himself whenever he 'did bad' on a test or when he lost a game, but it never phased me before so why am I crying right now? Why is my humanity returning so that I feel bad for my boyfriend?

"Makoto" I said as I traced his largest scar that was placed on his entire back, he never told me how he had got this one. He rolled over and I could see the several scars on his chest.

"What?" He looked at me with his half lidded eyes

"N-Nothing" I said as he then folded his arms around me and pulled me closer to him

"Let's skip school today" He breathed in heavily

"You can't, don't you have a game today? It will determine weather or not you go to Inter high, right?"

He sighed really loudly and allowed the breath to tickle my ear "It's a revenge match...." He said coldly nuzzling his nose into the crook of my neck

"Revenge?" I looked at him, I could imagine all the guys wanting revenge on him but the way he said it was like he wanted revenge.

"Ya, it's against Seirin" He smiled a little as he looked at my not so happy face "You're coming right?"

"No" I said coldly tying to get out of his grasp

"Yes you are" He said turning us over so that he was now on top of me and holding my hands above my head "Come on it will be fun~" He teasingly said

"Seirin means Teppei and Teppei means lectures. I don't want to deal with that. Plus" I said switching our positions-- which was easier than expected-- "Teppei doesn't know about us~" I kissed him. He moved his hands to my back, they were freezing to the touch, sending shivers down my spine.

"Alright" he said removing me from him. He got up and got clothed in the school uniform and I did as well. After a while of grunts in the bathroom he came out looking embarrassed and avoided eye contact "Takaya" he pointed to the untied tie around his neck "It's not like I need your help or anything...."

"What would you do without me?" I laughed a little as I tied it. He just 'tched' as I did so and after he gave me a slow romantic kiss.

We both separated and held hands as we walked to school.

I had caved in and decided to go to the game while we were on our way.

So today is the day I see Teppei again? Interesting...I can't wait to see his reaction to Makoto and I....

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Everyone at school was either totally disgusted with us as a couple or fine with it because I calmed Makoto down. There was no in between. Most of the guys were against us (for unknown reasons) and most the girls were for us (cuz then they didn't have to deal with Makoto).

This past summer Makoto and I decided that I would take summer school so that I could catch up to him and graduate with him. I am mainly doing this because he said that he didn't want to wait a year for me and he was worried another man might whisk me off my feet if he's not there to protect me. He can be very territorial, but for some reason he's also patient with me, which he has NEVER been before.

"The game is soon Takaya" He whispered in my ear. The teacher cursed me to sit in front of Makoto, but only because everyone asked her to NOT put them there.

"I know~" I smiled turning to him

"Maybe...if you want...fuck it--You have to be the manager for this game" I could feel him have an evil idea

"There's the Makoto I love" I turned back to the front of the room worried that we both would get caught.

"Attention students" The principal's voice came over the intercom "All Basket ball players, and their manager, are allowed to leave now"

We all stood and got some disgusted looks but also some thumbs ups from the class. I waved good by to all my friends.

"This is going to be great~" I cheered as we all gathered out in the hall

The group of us headed to the arena for the game. Seirin was already in the arena practicing when we walked in. I was wearing Makoto's jacked, so it was really baggy on me and the way I had my hair apparently easily mistook me as another guy.

"Do you see their manager!"

"How can he handle them? They must be so mean to him"

Some of the comments in the crowd made me so mad. Yes these idiots played underhandedly, but I love them all as family, because when Teppei got injured and wasn't himself anymore they took me in and cared about me.

They introduced the players. One by one they were called up and cheered, then I heard a females name for the coach.

"That's right" I said looking over at Riko Aida

"Now for Kirisaki Daichi" The announcer called all of them up, "And their manager for the game is--"

"Here we go" I mumbled to myself

"Kiyoshi Takaya" I smiled and waved as I stood and greeted the mortified looks

"T-Tak?" Teppei looked like he was going to faint

"Oh hey, big brother" I waved to him. When I said 'Big brother' all of his team mates were shocked

"Oi Takaya" Makoto called to me

"Yes?" I looked at him and he gave me the finger

"Sit your ass down and stop looking at those losers"

"Sorry, Sir" I said in a fake worried tone. I sat on the bench, everyone on the Seirin team had been gossiping and all thought I was being held against my will.

"Kiyoshi, what is your sister doing with that bastard?" Hyuuga asked him, in a concerned voice

"She has to be out of her mind!" Koga commented

"Don't disturb Seto, alright?" Makoto reminded me pulling me out of my eavesdropping state

"Never in my wildest dreams" I looked at him with a 'worried' smile

"Why are you acting so weird?" He leaned in, his aura menacing

"I'm just getting Teppei fired up so that he will play his best~" I whispered back in an aggravated tone.

"You're so devious, that's what I love about you" He whispered tickling my ear making me blush a little

They all lined up and I could hear Teppei and Makoto 'trash' taking each other, it was more one sided than anything.

The whistle blew for the players to jump for the ball.

I can't wait for Makoto's plan to unfold, it will be interesting to see what he has in store for Seirin.
