Chapter 4

A/N: so someone asked me to do a Butch POV chapter for this story so I'm going to do my best. I'm not starting from the beginning, kind of right in the same place I left off but instead it will be in Butch's POV.

Butch POV

So, I've finally met 'The Great Kaoru'. I'm not going to lie but she is something different. My brothers and I transferred to this school at the end of the year last year, but I never got to really meet her.

Over the summer I changed my look a little. I use too still look like my little boy self even though I was same age at Kaoru, maybe a few months older. I got rid of my old hair, which was like a bowl cut but with a long bang covering one of my eyes. I changed it too shorter and spiked it up, but I made sure that if I didn't spike it up that it would be ok if I left it alone.

My look also changed. Now since we were in high school, I couldn't wear my RRBZ uniform anymore. I had to look like I belonged in this society. So one day we did the one thing we hated the most, shopping. It was like hell. I think the only one of us to enjoy it was Boomer. He actually picked out most of our wardrobe and what he picked out was actually good! He seemed to know us really well, which doesn't surprise me because he is our brother after all. What did surprise me was how much he knew about fashion, he wasn't an expert, but he knew what he was talking about.

So after having a new wardrobe I actually worked on catching up on some really old school work. I had actually never been in school until then.

Brick and Boomer didn't care about their work; they were lucky and just kind of naturally smart. Again that was a surprise to me because they never showed any sign of intelligence to me. They always did the most stupid things…

But besides that, now I think I am the smartest of them all. I gained a lot of common sense and what not from learning from their mistakes.

When they realized that we were going to go back to school, they just seemed to drop all their little pranks and they were suddenly 'normal'.

You're probably asking yourselves why we go to school if we're not required. Well first off, Mojo Jojo basically abandoned us so we had no home and we had no one to rely on but each other. So to not be lonely we decided to be 'normal' teenagers and make friends and what not. It worked for us. I basically became known as the 'bad boy' even though I wasn't that much of a bad boy. I think it was just how I looked which made me seem tough. But I am tough, tougher than my brothers and most people.

By then end of the first week of school we were basically the most popular and desired boys in the school. Even upper class men were throwing themselves at us. It felt great to be wanted by someone. Sadly though none of them had me interested to be any of their friends because they just wanted to be with us for social status. I honestly could care less about social status, but it does feel nice to be on top.

I met Kaoru on the first day of school. She was different. I first mistook her for a dude since she was wearing guys clothing. She was the only I met that I had been willing to actually befriend. But when I was around her, I kind of went childish and started to annoy her like a kid but in a different kind of way.

After a few months I think you could kind of call us friends. We weren't great friends. I annoyed the crap out of her and she sometimes annoyed the crap out of me, but usually it was I annoying her.

I also found out that she isn't really great at math. I had to help her with math one night. She came over and we worked on her homework for quite some time. It took a lot of explaining to finally get her to learn the material. Sometimes she was really stubborn about her not being right. I think she sometimes knew that I was right but she just didn't want to admit it.

I ended up walking her to a few blocks before her house. She wouldn't let me come to her house and I was ok with that. When I got back home, Brick and Boomer were waiting for me.

"So are you in love?" Brick asked. I couldn't tell if he was being serious or not because he sounded like he was half joking.

"No," I said flatly. I wasn't lying, I didn't not like her but I didn't like her like that.

"Come on Butch, we're you're brothers! You can tell us!" Boomer pleaded.

"Um I just met Kaoru like a month ago!"

"So? I like this red head. She's interesting." He said. I think he was referring to Kaoru's red head friend.

"I'm not afraid to say that I like Miyako!" Boomer said proudly. I think that was Kaoru's blonde friend.

"I'd love to stay and finish this little heart to heart with you guys, but working with Kaoru is very … hard." I said and left them there to do what they wanted. Also I wasn't lying again! For once I was really tired!

The next week our teacher announced that there was going to be a dance. I asked Kaoru if she was going in a really weird way. She looked passed that and said she wasn't going. Well that doesn't mean I can't go. I can probably go with anyone I want anyway.

What surprised me was at lunch.

"Kaoru, I already know what you are going to say but I say you're going to that dance! We already have money set aside for your ticket!" I heard the red head say before I was at the table.

"Yeah and I have a few choices for dresses too!" Miyako chimed in.

"No way, in hell, are you going to get me to go to that dance!" Kaoru spat and glared at her friends. It amazed me on how unfazed her friends were by her glaring. I must admit Kaoru could be pretty scary when she wanted to be.

"What else would you do?" Momoko asked eyeing her. I slowed my pace down so I could hear the conversation.

"Um hang out?" She replied. Who is she going to hang out with?

"With who?"

"Butch?" she said. She seemed kind of surprised that my name happened to come out because she said it more like a question.

"Huh?" I said confused. That really caught me off guard.

"You, me, hanging out next Friday right?" She said as casual as she could. I knew what she was doing. She was improvising so her friends wouldn't drag her to the dance. I couldn't blame her because I'd probably do the same thing if my brothers tried and forced me to that dance.

"Oh yeah, right," I replied after I regained my composure.

She smiled at me. I knew it was a 'thank you' smile.

Her red head friend, Momoko was it, had to think that we had something planned because she said something that made Kaoru tense up a little. I snickered at this but she didn't see me. If she did, she probably would have hit me over the head, hard.

Later I just had to ask her if she really meant what she said. It wouldn't surprise me if she just said that to get her friends off her back. I really didn't care.

"So, are we really going to hang out on the night of the dance?" I asked her during study hall.

"Yeah, I guess. Otherwise Momoko and Miyako will call me a liar, mainly Momoko."

"Sweet. Your house or mine?"

"Well you can't meet my mom or my brothers… they would go berserk…"

"Why?" I asked as I finished the last of my math homework.

"Mom will embarrass me and Dai is a little over protective since dad is away on a wrestling tournament. Shou… he just kind of follows what ever Dai does… so my house is out."

"Understandable I guess, though it would have been cool to meet your family," I smirked.

I saw her roll her eyes and then she checked the clock. I watched as she gathered up her stuff and put it in her bag. She then slung it over her right shoulder.

"Anxious to leave?"

"Hell yeah, its only freaking Monday and I just want today to be over," she groaned.

"You had that bad of a day?"

"No, its just… school and I don't get along all that well."

I chuckled at that last remark. "Happens even to the best of us."

"The hell's that suppose to mean?"

"I'm no stupid Kaoru," I started.

The bell rang in the middle of my sentence and I followed her to her locker.

"I never said you were but…" she started.

I rolled my eyes, "Never mind… Just go enjoy your Monday afternoon." I was somewhat annoyed because she actually thought I was stupid! Even after I helped her with her homework!

"I will!" she said stupidly. That made me laugh a little and then I walked down the other hall towards my locker.

I went that afternoon and relaxed. I was surprised at myself at how relaxed I was about knowing that she was going to come over to my house next week. I mean it's not going to be much different from hanging out with my brothers… except she is a girl. But she does like a lot of guy things… I guess we can do whatever she wants. Why am I even bothering myself with this? It's not like this is a date or anything. I don't even like Kaoru like that! Do I? Even I did like her, I doubt she'd like me back… so does this mean I like her?

"Hey man," Boomer said entering our house. He must have been talking to Miyako before he left.

"Sup brother?"

"It took me a few extra few minutes to get home because I was talking to Miyako before I lift." Did I call it or what?

"Yeah, I figured."

"So are you excited for your date with Kaoru?"

"It's not a date!" I said defensively. I've never shown that much emotion.

"Uh huh…" I could tell Boomer could see through this.

"Whatever," I wasn't about to make a fool of myself in front of my brother. I only liked Kaoru as a friend because I'm pretty sure that is all she saw me as. But I was a little excited for Friday but that doesn't really mean anything. I was happy to have a friend.

A/N: so while writing this at the beginning I kind of felt like it was a one shot because it starts kind of present and then goes back and then to the present. And the beginning is long and it kind of drags on so yeah….

Thanks for reading and reviewing!
