My dreams became reality.


To School

Often on their walk, Ryuuji flicks his fingers onto Taigas knuckles, signaling her to hold hands, though she does not. Ryuuji becomes frustrated, not having yet realized that she is not ready to take their relationship to the next level.

"Yo Palmtop!" Two boys call out from a bus stop close by, Ryuuji hadn't noticed while Taiga stared them down. The boys laugh, "Whats up with that? A bodyguard? Guess you ain't so tough afterall!"

Ryuuji turns his attention.

"Whats up with those asshats?" He slowly grits his teeth.

Taiga sighs, "Another pair of idiots is all." Taiga ignores their final remarks.

She always wondered why others insisted to poke fun at her, if she was this intimidating Palmtop Tiger she was sought to be, why feed the beast? She only hurts people in the end, whether she means to or not. She knows Ryuuji had similar problems, his size and eyes frighten many at school as well as pedestrians. But never has somebody picked on him without having a nervous itch or cold chills. Those boys a moment ago must have had balls of steel to even speak to the most monstorous yet respected people around. You could call them the king and queen of their highschool. The students often played as their pawns, if they made one wrong move they would be slaughtered with verbal abuse and one-hit-knockout punches. Taiga grins, she'd love to see the bastards burn up in her own custom made flames!

Ryuuji scratches his head, "Taiga, you're spaced out again." He smiles slightly.

Taiga looks up to his eyes, she was sitting at the very bustop the boys were at.

Both boys had bloody noses and weak breathing, crawling away from the scene.

She gasped with delight, and then giggled. At least there was one person who wouldn't dare pass her drawing line, who else but her equal?
