Man, I came up with quite a few of these...Review if you want it continued! XP

(?'s POV)

"Hey, hey girl! Are you alone?"

Oh great. I feel bad for whoever the girl is. Maybe I should help her out.

I turned and saw that the girl they were hitting on actually looked quite beautiful. She was tall, with long, brilliant blonde hair, and wearing a nice light colored dress. I walked up behind her, putting a hand on her shoulder, so as not to startle her too bad.

"You guys have a problem with my girl?"

The guys looked at me shocked, but backed off immediately. The girl, on the other hand, was not as happy. I sighed and removed my hand, before apologizing.

"I'm sorry, miss. I didn't mean to frighten you. I just hate it when guys pull stunts like that."

I rubbed the back of my neck, glancing away to show that I was, indeed, sorry. The girl chuckled slightly, "It's okay. Thank you for doing that. I'm waiting for a friend, but would you like-"

She was cut off when someone ran up to us.

"Makoto! Hm?…What do you want?"

He glared at me like I was the one who was trying to take her. I looked at him, taking in every detail. He was maybe a few inches taller than the girl, with dark brown hair and brown eyes. He looked slightly intimidating wearing a black polo shirt and I could tell that he did some sort of exercise by the way his muscles looked. All in all, a nice looking dude and she was a good actor.

"Me? Well, this nice lady was just about to invite me to sit down with her."

"Who's woman do you think she is?"

"Not yours…Miss."

She looked shocked, but was still ready for a fight.

"Relax. I'm not aiming to take you or your friend." So I said, but she still didn't seem convince. "Look. If you really don't want me here, then I'll leave. Later." I turned around and left, waving at them over my shoulder.

Looks like I'll have a better time than I thought in Japan.

(Ito's POV)

"In other words, it's a 'Juliet Contest', all may participate in it! Breaking through a thorny road and rescuing the Romeo, the one who reaches Romeo first will become Juliet." Announced our drama teacher. Despite our little run in with the guy before, Makoto seemed to have forgotten all about him. I too, was trying to forget the dirty blonde we'd run into, but this competition smelled fishy. I knew I was probably going to be dragged in somehow.

"Hold on a minute. What's this all about?" I said, to get answers.

"Don't play dumb. The Romeo is certain!" She pointed at me and I had to say, I saw it coming.

"Oh! I almost forgot. We also have a new student joining us today." She walked to the door and opened it, grabbing someone and dragging them through. Everyone grew silent as they looked at the guy in front of us. He was taller than me with blue green eyes, the center laced with a golden yellow. He had short dirty blonde hair, that had a long ponytail in the back, and was wearing swim trunks and a tight muscle shirt, which sent the girls wild, as he rubbed the back of his neck. No way. It's that guy we met yesterday! I thought as I glanced at Makoto to see if he recognized the guy. He did.

"This is Kira Hirst, a transfer from America. And although he is joining late, we all need to welcome him. Now, since this is the first day we are allowed to have the pool, everyone go relax and enjoy it!"

At least, that's what she said, but now that we were out here, the girls swarmed Kira. I, personally, could care less. Makoto, on the other hand…looked concerned.

(Kira's POV)

"Kira! How old are you?"

"How tall are you?'

"When's your birthday?"

I sighed as I swung my legs back and forth in the pool. Girls are annoying. I thought. So, I decided to have a little fun. I spotted the two I had met yesterday and dove in the water. I came up behind the dark haired girl, snuck out of the pool, and grabbed her waist. Thus pulling her into the pool. She came up shocked and turned, glaring at me. I just waved.

"Yo."

"You jerk! What's your problem?"

I cupped my chin with my hand, in a thinking pose, before answering, "I was bored." She splashed me with water, as the nearby girls began saying how cute we were. I noticed the blonde, Makoto I think, from before and I swear I saw some malice in her eyes. I swam over to her and rested my arms on the pool side.

"Hey, Makoto right?"

"Yeah. Do you need something, Kira?"

"Why aren't you in here?"

Someone came up behind me and hit me on the head, hard. It was that girl I dunked.

"Idiot! She doesn't like water after a bad accident when she was small."

"Oh…who are you?"

She hit me again and climbed out of the pool, glaring at me.

"Ito Miura."

"Could you stop that?" A girl by the pool gate yelled. Some guy with a camera was taking picture after picture of her, and she wasn't happy about it. That is, until he offered her picture of Ito. They also took pictures of Makoto and a few of the other girls, who were less than pleased. I climbed out of the pool as Ito addressed the situation.

"How about you quit that now?"

"Thank you for cooperating! But don't get excited just 'cause your pictures are selling at the top price!"

Idiot doesn't get it. I thought as she jumped up and snatched the guys camera. I noticed that the poor dude was shocked and let go of the fence, so I jumped up and grabbed him, causing us both to fall over the gate.

I landed hard, with him on top of me. He had passed out when we started falling, but he had also managed to his me in the stomach with is elbow. Ouch, that's gonna bruise.

"Woah, I didn't think he'd fall. You two okay?"

"I'd be better if I could breath."

The rest of their club pulled him off of me as the girls, who'd gotten dressed, gossiped at how handsome and brave Ito and I were. Ito helped me up and I noticed she was bleeding, but just when I was about to point it out, Makoto beat me to it.

"Ito, you're bleeding."

I headed to the changing room as they continued on in their own conversation. I had a separate room from the other drama people, because I had scars that I didn't want people to see. When I got there, I quickly changed my shorts to pants, before peeling off my wet muscle shirt and the bandages underneath. I had just replaced the bandages and began pulling on my shirt, when I heard gasps. Makoto and Ito were at the door; Makoto with a hand over her mouth and Ito stared with wide eyes. I sighed, pulling down my shirt the rest of the way and began explaining the three long scars they saw, reaching from my left shoulder to my right hip.

"Back when I lived in America, I had a part time job at a zoo, just as experience for my possible future career as a vet. I wasn't doing much, just picking up after the animals and cleaning up around the park. There was one day when I just happened to be cleaning near the black panther exhibit and I saw a girl, maybe 5 or 6, getting too close to the edge. I looked for an adult of some sort, but when I looked back, the girl was gone."

Ito and Makoto were listening intensely as I spoke and gathered my other belongings.

"Thinking the worst, I looked over the edge and saw her in the pen. I quickly called for help with my walkie-talkie and looked for Raja, the panther. When I spotted him, I grew even more concerned since he saw the child and was heading her way. I've learned how to tell the difference between how the animals at the zoo behave; like when they're playful or upset. Raja was upset about something being in his territory and I knew he could hurt the girl. So, I did the only thing I could. I jumped into the enclosure and grabbed her.

"She was crying and said her leg hurt. I saw Raja getting closer, but looked at her leg. It was swelling and she had probably broke it, so I picked her up. My co-workers were now at the top of the enclosure and I went to pass her to them. Raja came up behind me and attacked me, scratching my back and biting my shoulder. I had managed to give the girl over to my co-workers and a few more came into the enclosure and managed to distract the cat long enough to get me out and to the hospital.

"So, any questions?"

They looked shocked, but they seemed to understand. Then, Makoto said the one question I didn't want to hear.

"Why are you disguised as a guy?"

How'd she find out? I'd covered my bandages before they came in.

"How'd you know? You didn't see the bandages, so how'd you find out?"

She chuckled at me and turned to Ito, who wasn't sure about something but said, "Might as well. It's your decision and Kira probably wouldn't tell."

She nodded and removed her wig, showing that she was actually a he.

"Whether or not you showed it, you still have a woman's personality. You're just a bit protective over girls, but a great actor none the less."
