A quick note: THIS IS NOT A SEQUEL!!!
This is a whole new story, not a follow-up to Colorz: Lust. Instead of being about the reds, it's about the greens.
I haven't planned on adding anything to the red one. Sorry!
Disclaimer: I obviously don't own ppgz. Or ppg. And the names Tobidogu Kano belongs solely to Kudari-chan. I used it with permission, too.
And just to let you know, this story gets better. I'm not to fond of the start, but hey. Whatever. I'm lazy.
Updates: I'll probably update when I feel like it, so expect one about every week or so.
Reviewers: And thanks so much to all the people that review:D You make me very happy, which in turn makes me feel like writing. I don't really respond to reviews that much. (sorry!) I'll work on that. Would you rather me comment or write more for the story? xD
So without anymore of my rambling, here we go!
Enjoy!

Kano wearily stepped out of the principle's office at Tokyo High School. A brand new school, a brand new year... He sighed.
He hated switching schools. Since his dad was in the army and his mom was dead, he continuously had to move around all the time, thus making him a typical 'army brat'. His dad tried to be there for him, but that normally meant Kano was on his own for just about everything. All his dad did was supply the cash he needed to survive. He had to buy his clothes, shop for food, and pay bills by himself, very unusual for a 16 year old sophomore.
He sighed again. He hated having to move. If his dad wasn't even there with him, why did it matter where he lived? He would just get a letter in the mail from his dad, telling him he needed to be packed and ready to go in the airport by a specific time that day. No time to say goodbye to friends and give them his new address, so he never could keep the friends he had worked so hard to make.
He didn't understand why everyone let him live alone. He figured someone somewhere would have a problem, but he figured his father had pulled a few strings to let him stay by himself. He smirked. Living with someone else? It would kill him. He'd been accustomed to being alone for so long that having someone else there would destroy his system.
Kano was indifferent towards the world because the world had always been indifferent towards him. He never had anyone to ask him how he was feeling or what he liked to do. No permanent friends like other kids, and not enough time to adjust to become a part of one of the cliques.
Moving... did he mention he hated it? This time he had convinced his dad he was staying in Tokyo for a whole year. He liked Tokyo City, a lot.
Probably because of the incident that occurred two years ago.
He had come to visit his father's base, and was sent out to Tokyo City to have fun. Obviously, his dad wanted him to feel important and loved by bringing him to the Military Outpost, but had no real need for the boy.
But he was glad he was walking in the park at that moment, when a black light struck down on him and turned him into Butch.
Kano smiled. Butch... his alter ego. Not that he was a crazy schizophrenic with two minds, he just could transform to enjoy being able to fly and fight.
Not that he ever got the chance anytime besides when he was home alone, which was always. But nevertheless, he rather enjoyed his lonely life.
And was ecstatic at the thought of being able to stay in one place for a year! A whole year! He grinned. He had time to adjust, time to meet friends, time to join sports teams, and time for the ladies.
He looked down at the schedule. Room 231, Chemistry. Just what he needed to start his day.
He jogged up the steps, his backpack hanging off his left shoulder. How long had it been since he'd been in school?
"2 weeks, at least..." He mumbled, as he knocked on the wooden door leading into room 231. Why the administrative people didn't just tell him to go to the only lab in the whole damn school...
The door swung open, and an elderly, irate woman stood below Kano. She had gray hair pulled back into a tight bun, ugly glasses that appeared to be from the 80s, and a thin gray mustache just above her lips, that were drawn into a thin line.
"Well?! Are you going to stand in there all day or come in?!"
Kano blinked. What a... charming lady.
He stepped into the room, and all eyes were on him.
"Are you going to tell us your name?! Well?!"
Kano sweatdropped. "Tobidogu Kano."
The teacher snorted. "That's Tobidogu Kano ma'am to you, you understand?! Well?!"
Kano just stared at her, confused.
She rolled her eyes. "Just go sit in the back, Tobidogu, next to Matsubara. And don't get in trouble!!!"
"Hai."
"That's Hai ma'am to you! Well?! Get a move on!"
Kano stumbled to the back row, and dropped his backpack on the floor next to his desk. And sighed. Not even a full day and he was beginning to rethink his hopes about Tokyo City, until a voice broke him out of his thoughts.
"Don't worry about the bitch."
Kano's head snapped to the side to study the person who had spoken.
"Excuse me?"
"I said, don't worry about the bitch. Mitchellson put laxatives in her coffee anyway. She should be outta here in five minutes."
"MATSUBARA!!! PAY ATTENTION!!! WELL?!"
"Whatever you say Mrs. Bihl..." The kid slid down into his seat, still not paying attention at all. Kano smirked. He had an idea who his first potential friend candidate would be.
"This equation is atmospheric pressure blah blah blah mass blah lift blah blah calorimetry blah blah quiz... well?!" Mrs. Bihl lectured to a class full of bored kids, until at exactly 8:17 she felt the need to excuse herself.
"Only momentarily...well?!" And with that, Mrs. Bihl was gone the rest of the period.
The kid next to Kano smirked when she left. Kano began to summon his courage, to try to start a conversation, but the kid did it for him.
"What's up, new kid?"
He looked at the boy next to him, relieved he didn't have to break the ice.
"That's Tobidogu Kano to you, well?!" He imitated, causing the boy to burst out laughing. He punched Kano lightly on the shoulder.
"I like you, new kid. But seriously, what's up? Where you from?"
Kano grimaced. "I'm not telling you anything until you stop calling me 'new kid', got it?"
The boy laughed again. "Alright, alright. Relax, Tobidogu."
Kano smirked. "I'm from the USA, West Coast, California."
The boy looked at him. "No way! Isn't the surfing there amazing?"
Kano grinned. "Yeah, it is! You surf?"
The boy looked smug. "I play just about any sport imaginable, thank you very much."
Kano couldn't keep the grin off his face. Here he was, making a friend, not to mention one that played sports!
"You play soccer?"
"Hell yeah. After school, new kid. Meet me on the field and I'll whip your ass."
"Oh, really?"
"Yeah, really."
The two exchanged smirks.
"You know where the soccer field is, Tobidogu?"
"I'll find it Matsubara, and I'll kick your ass."
"I'd like to see you try. I'm friggin' captain of all the school's athletic teams."
"That might change."
"What, you challenge me? I'd like to see you try!!!"
"Psh, I could beat you with my hands tied behind my back, you kidding me?"
"Oh? We'll see about that this afternoon, won't we?"
Their eyes met, the friendly competition between the two skyrocketing.
Then the bell rang, breaking the staring contest. Kano watched the kid pick up his stuff and turn to face him.
"What do you have next?"
"What?"
"I said, you dumbass, what do you have next?"
Kano stared.
Did he just call me a dumbass...?
"I am not a dumbass!"
The boy rolled his eyes.
"Whatever. What do you have next?"
Kano glanced down at his schedule.
"Math. With Dr. Marshall."
The kid flinched and grabbed his schedule from his grasp before Kano could say anything else.
"Damn, Tobidogu. You got all the bitchiest teachers at this place! It sucks to be you!" The boy exclaimed, handing back his schedule and leaving the room.
"Matsubara!"
The kid poked his head back through the door.
"What NOW, new kid?"
"What's your name?"
"Kaoru. Matsubara Kaoru. Was that it? Dude, we're already late for 2nd period. You'd better haul major ass, Dr. Marshall is room 316, in the building across from this one. I got English, the floor below us."
Kano's eyes widened.
"Damn! Why don't you tell me these things?"
The kid laughed at him again.
"It's not my fault you can't read, Tobidogu."
And with that, Kano was left standing shocked and alone in the now empty chemistry lab.
It's going to be a hell of a day...

Once again, in case you didn't read my note, this isn't a sequel (I bet you could guess) and the name Tobidogu Kano belongs to Kudari-chan.
Please review:D
