Chapter 1

Author's note: {Since it has been a while since I have truly worked on a fanfic, this work may be greatly flawed, especially since this is a redo of a redo. Still, it would be greatly appreciated if this was read warmly, and kind and or helpful critique is left.

Kind of oc centric, takes place during Raijin days.

The times of Raijin were pretty dark like that of a manga based around a group of juvenile thugs. It was a well maintained school with nice facilities and all, but some of the students however were not top-notched. Whispers would fly by; people chattering about "this person got into a fight with..." and "did you hear that person got his ass kicked?" The school was littered with delinquents.

When Minako learned she was transferring to that school, she knew she had to make a change of sorts if she wanted to graduate alive. She entered the school grounds solemnly, not looking at anyone as she made her way to the entrance ceremony. She sat still like a statue through the entire interim of the ceremony. Once it was over, she quickly made it out but on the way she passed another girl with dark brown layered hair that was wavy. She was tall like a formidable tower. Accidently she bumped into the girl and kept her mouth shut. Suddenly, she felt her blazer tugged strongly and she was then face to face with a girl with demon angry eyes under furrowed brows.

"Hey kid, if you bump into someone you at least apologize got that?!" she yelled, her voice carrying a Kansai-ben dialect. Minako kept her composure.

"I don't want trouble."

"Then let me hear it; bow your head and say 'I'm so very sorry Eri-san.'"

Minako gripped the hand on her collar and yanked it away.

"No." she said, walking past. She was seized by the wrist.

"What the hell are you? A delinquent? Don't go fucking around with someone the likes of me."

Minako glanced left and right twice over her shoulder. The coast was clear. Then she made her move. In a swift straightforward motion her fist darted, Eri's face the target. It was a direct hit and she staggered backwards, covering her mouth. When the pain was halfway subsided Eri glared at her.

"You little shit! You're really askin' for it!" she cursed. Eri threw a punch. Minako dodged it and caught the latter's forearm in the crook of her elbow. She couldn't break free.

"Not here where it's public." Minako warned. Eri stepped back and smirked.

"Don't want people to see me kick the crap out of you? Sure why not? I'll be kind and save your face." she scoffed and then turned around.

"C'mon, I gotta place we can go to."

Not far from where Raijin was stationed, they were underneath a bridge where few cars passed by and weeds were an epidemic. The girl tied up her long waves of hair into a high ponytail and then proceeded to roll up her sleeves.

"Get ready." she said, pushing the escaping locks out of her face. Minako would admit that she was not the best at fighting, but she could at least get away with a few punches and kicks. With a battle cry she sprinted towards Eri and swung her arm. She ducked and then grabbed onto Minako's arm with both hands. She coughed up spit in pain, suffering a sharp strong blow to the stomach by Eri's knee. She took a few steps back, only to be struck by a sucker punch to the face.

"What's wrong?! You acted so haughtily back there; is this all you're made of?"

A little spot of blood marked the corner of her lip. She bent over, catching her breath, staring up at the brunette delinquent. She copied Eri and brushed back her blunt bangs and curls out of her face. Once she was rebalanced she executed a front kick, hitting her in the chest. Eri lost footing but regained it, swinging her leg up. Minako evaded it and threw her arms around Eri's waist, hanging on for life. It was hard for her to hit anywhere vital. Minako's head was away from her sight and striking her back wasn't an effective option. She pulled up her knee and struck her again in the stomach. Minako cringed and backed away. Eri smiled deviously, snatched her by the collar and threw her down to the dirt. She squirmed and panted. Minako struggled to pull herself up.

Eri wiped the sweat off her brow and started chuckling.

"Damn, you sure are persistent. I wasn't expecting much from the likes of you."

She managed to prop herself on her hands and knees, only to be shoved back into the earth. Eri rolled her over to her back and stared at her.

"You through yet?" she asked, chuckling more. Minako heaved out breaths, tasting blood on her tongue.

"Y-yeah..." she said hoarsely. Eri's lips curled and quivered before letting out a stream of loud laughter. She plopped down, taking a seat besides the black haired girl who was prone on the floor. She sat crisscrossed casually and freed her tangled locks from the hair tie.

"You were right to have our fight privately. If anyone sees me beat you like that I would've been expelled before school officially began!" she said jokingly. "You know you're not so bad; for someone with regular looks you sure aren't regular. What's your name by the way?"

"M-Minako..." she panted.

"Last name?"

"Don't have one."

"Ah I see."

Minami's eyes squinted as warm bright sun spill over her face. The light was then broken when she saw Eri's face hovering over her. She was smiling kindly, a strong contrast from before, her hand extended out to her.

"Then from this point on you'll be Minako Nagatani; little sister of Eri Nagatani."
