FIGHT!

(０１) First Meeting

Growing up in Makochi you had always been quite well known amongst the townspeople. You were friendly, open minded and generous but unfortunately you were a bit too selfless which led to your situation now, situated in front of a brown haired girl who you knew as Kotoha, trying to cover her and protect her as you glare at a gangster who you saw harassing the girl who was clearly very uncomfortable and uninterested.

"What was I thinking!?...", you thought to yourself mentally face palming, keeping your stance, you didn't know how to fight let alone defend yourself against a group of gangsters consisting of full grown men with weapons.

Still, you wanted to try and protect this girl, you couldn't just watch one of your people get harassed by a group of thugs that clearly don't know their place.

Your eyes dart in different directions hoping to spot a familiar green and black gakuran, damn it where were they!? You take a step backwards still trying to cover the girl you were protecting and hold your breath.

"A doll like you shouldn't be getting into the business of a gang, ya know?", the leader, you assume, says with a suggestive undertone you did not like at all. "But I wouldn't mind if ya joined us pretty", he smirks. You nearly gagged at the offer and you grit your teeth as your eye twitched in annoyance.

Suddenly a hand grabs at the guy's shoulder from behind. Your eyes widen and the corner of your lips twitch up in a smile recognizing the sleeve of the familiar gakuran. You knew you could count on them.

The leader of the gang whipped his head around to throw a punch to the bofurin student which the mysterious savior dodged gracefully with experience and packed a punch straight to the guys face. This ended up triggering the whole gang who all attacked the teenager in sync. You watched in awe as the guy took down each gang member one by one until all of them were left on the ground in pain.

Your and Kotoha's mysterious saviour walks up to the beaten up form of the leader. He puts his hand on his knees slightly crouching while staring down at the guy. "What's wrong with your head to make you think that you're strong but your not?", he delivers nonchalantly.

He lifts the beaten up "man" by his collar. "Drill my name and face into your skulls, tell the weak to run, tell the strong how to find", he basically threatens.

"I am Sakura Haruka from Furin high!", he boasts smugly.

It was honestly a bit corny but he basically saved you and the brunette behind you so you put that aside as you and the short haired girl watched in shock.

The guy, Sakura, you now knew him as put his hands in his pockets as he walks away from you and Kotoha.

"Wait!", Kotoha jogs up to the guy and so do you. "Hey! Wait I said!", the brunette shouts when the guy keeps walking. "Thank you", she expressed in grateful gratitude. "Yeah, it was pretty sick to be honest", you follow up with a hearty laugh trying to ease some tension.

The guy looks around and then at you and the short haired girl pointing a finger at himself, "Wait, me?", he asks, raising an eyebrow.

"Do you... See anyone else?", Kotoha deadpans as you follow up with a nod.

His face explodes with all different shades of red. "I d-didn't do it to save you guys! Those guys pissed me off, is all!", he shouts, trying to brush it off and act cool. It was kinda adorable seeing him deny it while visibly flustered, but who knows? Maybe it really was just the guy's attitude that put him off, you wouldn't blame him anyway.

"About that... Are you hungry?", Kotoha asks the Furin student, tilting her head to the side.

"Huh!? No, I'm not!", the guy states, turning away to hide his flustered face.
