...We Could...

Fumi Nine!

I curled up with a sigh on the couch, staring at the TV in front of me.

"What's got you down?" asked Eri from the kitchen.

"Just irritated..." I answered. "Evidently someone realized that rumors about me and Kyoya being a couple weren't bad enough... So they made it where I became his whore and we're sleeping together."

I heard Eri give off a feral growl. "They did not just do that..."

I sighed. "Don't worry, Eri... I'll be okay..."

"I'll kill them all!

"Eri-chan, please..."

"I'll stab them thirty-seven times in the chest!"

I had to smile. "Caaaarrrrl that kills people!"

"Even better. No, seriously, I'll murder them."

I sighed. "I can take care of myself, Eri-chan... Thank you, though..."

She grunted.

The next day at school I kept getting dirty looks. I sighed and went to my locker, only to have hate mail come pouring out. I gathered them up and dumped them into the trash before heading for homeroom.

I was stopped in the hallway by the same trio as before.

"Well here's the little bed-mate," one sneered.

"She really shouldn't boast about sleeping with Kyoya."

"She should be taught a lesson."

All three laid their eyes on me and I sighed. "Are you going to fight me physically this time?"

They nodded, starting to walk to me. "It's the only way to teach a whore a lesson."

I kept my gaze cool and refused to budge. "Come at me, bro."

One flinched. "Such vulgar language!" she cried, bringing her hand up to slap me.

I caught her wrist. I knew my bangs were hiding my eyes, which made me look emotionless. Dead silence hung around us.

"Still want to teach me a lesson?" I asked, voice low.

It took a bit before the one who tried to slap me growled and took a swing at me. I blocked it and twisted, my hand still gripping her wrist. She went flying into the wall while I ducked the blow from the second bold member. I pushed off my feet, ramming my fist into her stomach and sending her flying like her friend.

I turned to the last party member. "Are you going to fight me or run?"

She decided to run. Good choice by her. I went over to the first girl--the blond--and offered a hand. She stared at it like it was some growth.

I sighed. "It's a hand. To help you up. Are you going to or not?"

She folded her arms and looked away, herumfing.

"Suit yourself." I turned and offered my hand out to the other, who accepted it and stood, handing me my bag. I took and gave her my thanks with a slight bow before continuing on to homeroom.

Where did I get such strength? I never knew I could fight that well... Maybe it was just because the girls were weak.

Though, to be on the safe side, I decided to request a sparing match with Honey in the future.

"Hey, did that really happen?"

I looked up at Kyoya with a frown. "Huh?"
