THE PUNISHER'S REVENGE

[Kinzy's POV]

After I bid Ethan my goodbye, I go to school with Kenji in my tow. He said he was lazy to drive to school today so here I am driving us to school as if I'm his driver. He also comes to visit Ethan and I'm right, all day they talk about engineering stuff, be it Electrical, Chemical, Industrial or Mechanical and they quickly becomes close friend to the extent that Kenji threatened me not to hurt Ethan or else he will come and haunt me to death, as if he is Ethan's long lost brother.

Well, I wish he was. Maybe Ethan's childhood life wouldn't be miserable if someone like Kenji was at his side.

It has been four days now since the beating took place. Ethan's bruises and cuts were now healing and the doctor said maybe he can go home this afternoon or tomorrow morning. They said they have to run another check-up on his bones and he is good to go.

Kenji and the gang were still hunting for James Smith. Guess this Yakuza knows how to keep his word to a friend. We heard that James has been hospitalized after I beat him and got his two ribs broken. Serves him right. I was also called to the Administrators office and he told me not to do it again. As usual, he can't do anything about it. I'll just have to remind him that his job depends on my mood, he messed up with me and he will lose his job, forever. I don't want to use my power like what I did, but they wanted me to do so. For the sake of Ethan, I'll do whatever to make him safe.

My parents know about it but as usual they don't want to come between me and my business. They have their own business to take care off so they let me take care of my own, either by fair fight or by force.

The rumors around the school have faded already. They didn't talk about us, me and Ethan, again. They know that Ethan is my boyfriend and they wanted to comment about how me, the great Aiden McKinzy Ford is gay, but chose to shut their mouth as they don't have choice but to do it. 

Coach and the Soccer Team accepted my choice of a lover and they supported me as well as the whole Student's Council and my friends, acquaintances and all, which kinda surprise me nevertheless. Hopefully, the whole school will, soon. We don't do anything wrong. If loving someone with the same sex is wrong then maybe they can kill or wipe out all the gays and lesbians around the world and guess they aren't like bees or ants that can easily be wipes out. They have brain, you know.

Good thing I didn't see Maxine around after I threatened her after what she does to me and Ethan. I heard she was transferred to an all-women's college and I guess that was great. I was greeted by her 'boyfriend' the other day and he told me about it. Great! I didn't have to deal with her for the longest time. Now I realize it, after all Maxine was not meant to be chased, she doesn't deserve to.

I also visited Ethan's boardinghouse just like what he said. He wanted to make sure that everything is just fine in his home so he didn't have to worry about it when he gets home. Then his part time job, I want him to quit but as usual, as stubborn as he is, he didn't want to depend on me for his living though I wanted him to depend on me. He was so stubborn when it comes to living his life on his own. Everything was fine. Not until we saw James and his gang at the cafeteria.

"Hey dude," Kenji smile to the gang, the smile that tells them that they messes him and he will be going to get back to him, ten folds.

"What do you want Li?" James glared unto him like he was already killed him in just one look but he can't threatened the Yakuza with just that, because before he could kill him, he already killed him four times.

"Oh-oh," Kenji said and grabs James by his nape and gets him out of his chair. He tackled him into the floor of the cafeteria with his both hands is twisted into his back side. "Didn't the little birdy told you that you touch what was ours?" he grinned when James struggled to get out of his grip but he was so strong for him and we are just watching them.
