Katsumi= +"insert thought here"+

Lucinda= -"insert thought here"-

Katsumi and Lucinda were walking down the empty halls of the school they "went" two. Admittedly they both skipped more than half their classes. They had better things to do, well, most of the time.

Today, the pair had just gotten bored, so they left. They didn't expect to run into any trouble, as they had major influence via Anastasiya, also Katsumi was extremely intimidating, even when he wasn't tying. With his taller than the average sixteen year old height, his nonchalant attitude and his superior strength, half of the student body was afraid of him, and ironically, he was a nice guy. Lucinda had her looks to make her intimidating.

The pair also didn't expect to run into any excitement, because most of the student body had better things to do than roam the halls pointlessly, or didn't have the influence nor intimidating qualities to do it without getting into trouble.

Katsumi and Lucinda were talking about pointless things. Like how Katsumi's leg and left wing were doing. "My wing still aches, but my leg is alright." He told her. "Good, I wouldn' try flyin', or fightin' for a while." Lucinda said, tilting her head. "One of those things I enjoy doing. Bummer." Katsumi stated, putting his hands in his pockets.

They turned a corner, continuing their conversation, until Lucinda froze. Katsumi stopped walking, and turned to look at her. "What?" He asked. "Sh!" She sushed him. He blinked, and closed his mouth, staying silent. "Look at this little shit..." said a male voice neither of them recognized. Lucinda waved her hand for Katsumi to follow her, and quietly made her way to another corner, with Katsumi close behind her.

They peeked around the corner, to see four boys cornering a smaller boy. Katsumi almost stood up to confront them, until Lucinda grabbed his wrist and pulled him back. The red gem on the choker around her neck glowed dimly, and a thought flowed through the demonic mind link that they shared, causing the red gem earring in Katsumi's right here to also glow dimly. -"Not Yet."- was the simple thought from Lucinda. +"Fine..."+ came the response from Katsumi.

"What are you gonna do to him, boss?" Asked one of the four boys. "I don't know, boys." Said the apparent leader of the gang. "Fuck him up, boss." Said one of his lackies. "Oh, I will-"

-"Now!"-

With the silent command, Katsumi stood up, and made himself known. "Hey!" He shouted. Lucinda jumped up beside him. "The 'ell do you think yer doin'?!" She questioned. The leader of the gang tensed, his eyes flicking to where the pair were standing. "Oh, if it isn't the members of the student council. Why don't you run along?" The boy said. "I don't think we will." Katsumi stated. "Boys, get these losers. I'll take care of this piece of shit." The leader said. The boy they had cornered cowered more.

Katsumi and Lucinda backed up slightly. "You take the boys and I'll take care of their "Boss?" Katsumi asked. +"Do you have your whip?"+ "Of course." Lucinda stated. -"An' after I told ya no fightin too."- after that exchange, the fight was on.

A punch was thrown at Katsumi, which Lucinda blocked. "Go, Go!" Lucinda told him. Katsumi ducked under the arm of the boy who went to uppercut him, and elbowed him in the gut, causing the boy to fall on his knees. "You've got these two?" Katsumi asked, rolling onto his feet. "Yeah, save the kid, who knows what they did to him before we showed up." Lucinda said, simply dodging every punch thrown at her. Katsumi nodded, and rushed over to the leader of the gang, blocking the kick aimed at the victim. "Didn't You're mother tell you to pick on someone your own size?" He asked. "Like you?" The leader responded. "Uh-Oh.." Katsumi mumbled, yelping when he was kicked in the side, aggravating the well hidden bruise that he had gotten when he had fell into a tree, then to the ground. He stood up, holding his side. "That hurt... You're going to regret that." With that, Katsumi punched the guy in the face, with force unknown to mortal kind.

Meanwhile, on Lucinda's side of the fight, she had gotten tired of the assholes she was against, they weren't playing fair. She pulled a rose from her hair. "I grow tired of this game. I don 'ave time for ye assholes." She said. CRACK, CRACK.

Katsumi didn't even have to turn around to notice that Lucinda had pulled out her rose whip. He shook his head, then turned to the victim of the bullying. He crouched I front of him. "Hey, are you alright?" He asked. The boy nodded. "I'm the one that should be asking you if you're alright! I heard you yelp when he kicked you!" The boy said, worry flashing in his eyes. "I'm fine." Katsumi assured him. "Trust me. My names Katsumi, by the way." He said, standing up, and extending his hand. "My names Makoto.. Makoto Ishikawa." the boy, now known as Makoto said, taking Katsumi's hand and pulling himself to his feet, cringing. He let go of Katsumi's hand, and held his side, balancing on one leg.

Lucinda had walked over at this point. "Yer hurt, can ya walk, or does Katsumi need to carry ya?" She asked. The Makoto turned to Katsumi, blinking. "I don't want to be a burden, but walking.. I don't think I can." Makoto stated. "A burden? Tch." Katsumi said, wrapping one of Makoto's arms around his neck, and picking him up bridal style. Makoto squeaked, wrapping both of his arms around Katsumi's neck, a dark blush on his cheeks. "Warn a guy, will you?" He asked. Katsumi chuckled. "So, Lucinda. Infirmary, or, what?" He asked. "Tha nurse would ask questions, Library." Lucinda responded. "Then Anastasiya and Eliza are going to ask questions." Katsumi argued. "I thought no one asked questions about what the student council does. "We're the "trouble makers." Katsumi said. "Everyone asks questions."

ooOOooOOoo

Lucinda and Katsumi walled calmly into the library, Makoto looked around in wonder.

Anastasiya was sitting at her desk, at the sight of Katsumi and Lucinda, she stood up, slamming her hands on the desk. "Where have you two been? I've sent Eliza out looking for you two trouble makers and-" She stopped at the sight of Makoto, who had flinched and curled into Katsumi's chest. "Who's that?" She asked. "This is Makoto, Ana. Katsumi and I found 'im being bullied. We stopped 'is bullies, but 'e was hurt before we got there." Lucinda explained. "Bullies?" Anastasiya sat back down, sitting her chin in her hand. "Yea. Four boys, two of 'em blond." Lucinda explained. Anastasiya nodded. "Ah, Katsumi, lay him one one of the couches, and let him rest." She said. Katsumi nodded, and walked over to a couch, and laid Makoto in it. After he had done that, he hopped up onto the arm of the couch, and sat there.

Anastasiya stood up, grabbing a stack of papers. "Lucinda, with me, Katsumi, you stay with him." and with that, she walked out of the room, Lucinda on her heels.

Katsumi took then to take in Makoto's appearance. He had dirty blonde hair, and tranquil green eyes, his skin was slightly to pale. He had scars dotting his otherwise flawless skin.

Maktoto looked up at Katsumi, catching his gaze. Green on grey. Makoto took in Katsumi. His messy black hair, and dark grey eyes, the way he held himself was cool, mysterious and almost regal. Makoto shook his head, trying to shake of the attraction he felt to the other boy.

"So, why were those guys bullying you?" Katsumi asked all of a sudden. Makoto looked away. "Swear to me that you won't think of me any differently if I tell you." Makoto said. "You can trust me." Katsumi said. "Their homophobic, apparently.. I'm gay.. They bully me because of it.." Makoto cleared his throat. "Everyone does.." Maktoto looked away, expecting Katsumi to make fun of him, what he heard was not expected. "People in this world are horrible." He stated. "You're not going to make fun of me?" Makoto asked. "Of course not." Katsumi said, smiling at Makoto. "Friends?" He asked. Makoto smiled back. "Friends."
