Ranmaru made it to class and took his seat. The teacher didn't seem to notice so he thought he was home free.
Once he took his seat, the teacher turned around and said, "So nice of you to join us, Mr. Morii. I trust you didn't run into any trouble on the way to class."
Ranmaru just flashed a smile and replied, "I'm fine. I was just held up momentarily with a friend." Technically, that wasn't a lie.
The teacher rolled her eyes and continued on with the lesson. Ranmaru loved this class because he saw this teacher as a challenge. By the end of the year, he knew she'd be all over him just like everyone else.
Well, not everyone…
Ranmaru looked over at Kagami. He hadn't ever really paid her any mind until today. Her reaction to his invite was not what he was expecting. Being the guy he was, Ranmaru never thought any girl would reject him. And now, to add to the mix, Yuki had indirectly challenged him.
Well, Kagami, what makes you act so differently? Ranmaru said in his mind.
After class, Kagami packed up all of her things and got ready to go meet Michi; but when she turned from her desk, Ranmaru was blocking her path.
"Move," Kagami grumbled.
"Aw, but you didn't say 'please,'" Ranmaru said in a teasing sing-song voice.
"Please move before I make you," Kagami ordered while glaring at him.
"Only if you let me walk you to your next class," Ranmaru said.
"No, now get out of my way," Kagami pushed past Ranmaru but he stopped her by gently grabbing her arm.
"I only wish to escort you safely to your next class," Ranmaru flirted. "Please allow me that pleasure."
Kagami rolled her eyes. "I hate guys like you!" she yelled glaring at him. He looked shocked and Kagami took that opportunity to yank her arm out of his grasp.
Kagami was glad that she had the school's permission for the rest of the day off if she needed it. She had been talking to the counselor at the school. The counselor told the office that there were some challenges at home that Kagami would, at some point, need to recover from. Kagami never wanted to take advantage of that, but she needed to get away from that player. All of her classes were with him and she didn't think she'd be able to hold up any longer.
Ranmaru kept his eye out for Kagami the rest of the day but she never showed up for any of their other classes. When school finally let out, Ranmaru was shocked when Michi ran up to him and punched him in the face. She was strong for such a small girl.
"What the hell did you do to her, you pig?" Michi yelled. Yuki saw what happened and went over to calm her down.
"Michi, it's okay. Let's just go."
"NO! It's not okay, Yuki!" she turned back to Ranmaru who was trying to stretch his jaw to make sure it wasn't broken. "You just had to go and be an ass to her. Stay away from my friend!"
Michi walked away from the two.
"I wasn't an ass to her," Ranmaru said. "I was the perfect gentleman. What gives?"
Yuki sighed. "All I will tell you is that Kagami has a lot to deal with and hates guys who act like players. But that's all I can say. Ranmaru, please, just leave this one alone. Kagami doesn't need to be hurt."
Ranmaru stared blankly at Yuki. He always heard his friends bitch at him about how he treats Tamao but he never felt this annoyed by it. Did Yuki really think he was planning on hurting Kagami? He never hurt any of the women he was with. What did Yuki know that he didn't?
