"OK, class, quiet down. As you've probably already heard, we will be getting a transfer student today." Aichi Sendou's homeroom teacher announced.

I wonder what kind of person they'll be? Aichi wondered. He looked to Naoki Ishida, Kourin Tatsunagi, and Komoi Shingo, each one just as clueless as he was.

"Come on in."

The student confidently strode into the classroom. "Yo! I'm Daisuke Itou. Nice ta meet cha!" He then bowed his head slightly. He turned to the teacher. "Where'm I sittin'?"

"Ah, behind Sendou, right there," he pointed, "in the back." The teacher said with disapproval written all over his face.

"Gotcha!" Daisuke replied, not taking the hint.

"And Itou-kun?"

"Yeah?"

"Please make an effort to be a bit more... polite."

"Ah, yes... sir."

All this time Aichi had been frozen.

Daisuke... Itou?

-Flashback-

A young Aichi was running home from school, scared he would catch up with him. As he passed the street before his own, he slowed to a walk, breathing heavily.

I... think... I'm safe...

Just as he thought that, he heard a voice. But it wasn't behind him, like he expected. It was in front. He looked up, and saw the worst thing he thought he could see in his life: Daisuke Itou running for him with a bat.

Aichi was so scared he couldn't run. He fell to his knees, crying.

"Don't hurt me!" Aichi sobbed. He heard the footsteps getting closer, and closer, and closer. Finally they stopped.

"Don't you EVER tell ME what to do, you weakling!" And the bat hit Aichi in the side. Hard. His survival instinct kicked in, causing him to stand, even though it hurt, and run the opposite way from home. From safety.

"I hope you learned your lesson!" Daisuke called after the terrified boy. Then he turned and walked the other way.

It was after this incident that two things happened: Toshiki Kai gave Aichi the Blaster Blade card, and Daisuke Itou moved away.

Aichi had thought he was free. He was wrong.

-End Flashback-

Aichi hadn't been able to focus all class. Finally, the lunch bell rang, and just as it did, Daisuke jumped up saying,

"Ah, man! Was that boring or what?" He bent down so his face was right by Aichi's ear, "Oh well, time to eat lunch, huh, Aichi?"

Aichi flinched away. "Ah, yes, I guess it is..." He answered nervously, head bent down.

Daisuke walked away, only to be crowded with other students wondering about him.

Kourin was the first to ask: "Do you know him?" The others who had just walked over, Naoki and Shingo, waited for Aichi's answer.

"Uh, kind of..." He forced a smile. "Anyway, what do you guys have for lunch?"

Aichi hoped Daisuke changed. He hoped.

This is kinda like a trial-run... if that makes sense... XD If people like this and want to see more, I'll write more, but I already have one fic that I'm trying to finish... so if you liked this, PLEASE review so I know people might want to see more.

Sorry to the people who were expecting another chapter of Wataru Takagi's Realization, I promise I'm working on it... just this idea popped into my head first! Lol Anyway, thank you always for reading and criticizing and reviewing and all that good stuff.

See ya later,
