Chapter Ten: Detention
Saki sighed as she waved the gang off, having explained to them she would be in detention but not why, even after all there prodding and interrogation. Sighing the green eyed teen walked to the detention room with a heavy heart. 'All I was doing was a nice deed and I get detention…well…I guess I just have to suck it up and' her thought stopped as she opened the door and noticed a very familiar blonde inside "Joey? What are you doing here?" said blonde looked up and the teen saw the surprise on his face "I was about ta ask you the same thing? Whatcha here for?" walking into the room the brunette sighed as she sat down, dropping her bag next to her "Got caught in the boy's locker room" hearing him chuckle made her pause "Whatcha doing in there missy? Ogling the guys?" shaking her head, Saki couldn't help but laugh "Sure I was I paid 'special' attention to them" hearing him laugh made her smile as she shook her head "Actually I was…helping a friend and you didn't answer my question mister" quickly changing the subject before he could ask who. "Well I kinda got in trouble but it wasn't my fault. Stupid Tristan and his revenge" shaking her head the brunette couldn't help but laugh "Y-You two and your pranks" she managed between breaths as the door opened again.
Kaiba walked into the room in a very fowl mood, not just because he was in detention but also because Masaki had helped him get his things back where he had failed. Hearing the woman's laughter didn't improve his mood nor who she was with "Whoa you're here too money bags?" not bothering to answer right away the brunette male glared at the blonde before he heard the scraping of a chair "Are you alright Kaiba?" fixing his glare on the girl his anger took hold "No I'm not and you know the reason why!" he hissed as he saw the confusion in her eyes it only stoked the rage he felt. "I don't understand…what did I do to upset you?" she asked, confusion clear in her tone as he gripped her wrist and pinned her to the wall hard, his anger taking full force "You humiliated me! You made me seem like I was unable to look after myself or regain my property!" hearing Joey get up he felt the tremble through her wrist and thought she was afraid of him 'Good he thought as he noticed her hold her free hand up "It's ok Joey." Hearing her even tone made him retort coldly "It's not ok! Not in the slightest I am going to make you pay for what you did to me!" feeling a second tremble made him smirk until she spoke "And what are you going to make me pay for Kaiba! For actually, helping you? For trying to be a good person and landing myself in detention just to help you?" watching as she raised her head he saw the calmness in her eyes and the underlying anger behind it, before he retorted sarcastically "Sure you were I bet you just wanted to look at the guys your nothing but a slut!" seeing her eyes widen for a moment he watched as she looked down, another tremble shot through her before the brunette surprised him as she wrenched her arm from his grip and slapped him with enough force to turn his head. "How DARE you call me that! You have no right to say that to me, if this is the thanks I get for actually giving a damn about you then don't expect me to repeat it in the near future!" she hissed in cold fury before leaving the room.
Joey watched the petite woman leave before looking to the other brunette "She…slapped me…" he heard the surprise in the other males voice before a heavy thudding could be heard "Well ya kinda deserved it Kaiba! After all you did just call her a slut" watching the blue eyed teen look to him with a slight glare the blonde's eyes narrowed "Don't glare at me or I'll wipe the floor with you. Now look-" he paused as a louder thud could be heard "Masaki is one of the nicest people I know and she probably went through a hell of a lot to get you your stuff, without being asked" letting the brunette mull over his words the blonde added "oh and if you ever speak to her that way again I will not hesitate to deck ya" listening to the steady and repeated sounds of thudding for a while longer before they stopped and the brunette walked back into the room.
Masaki sighed and winced once she finished 'I'm going to regret doing that' she thought as she looked to her knuckles, having just spent the past twenty minutes punching the wall as hard as she could, balling her hands into fists the teen walked back into the room, ignoring the stares from both of them and sat down. Noticing the look from Joey she heard the ringing of a phone, hearing the shifting of a chair she knew Kaiba had left the room and didn't honestly care at the moment "Saki whatcha do to your hands?" looking to Joey the teen forced a smile "I fought the wall and lost" shaking her head Saki added before he could ask "I'm fine Joey" noticing him look at her wounds she wondered what he was up to before he poked one of the open wounds, hissing in pain green eyes glared at him slightly "Just as I thought, you need to wrap them Saki before they get infected. Do you have your gym shirt or do ya want me to look in money bags bag, he probably has some bandages in there?" shaking her head the teen nodded to her bag "use my gym shirt, I have a spare…there should be some water left from my lunch too" watching the blonde nod the brunette sighed mentally as Joey ripped her gym shirt into long strips and wetted one "This is probably gonna sting" nodding the brunette braced herself but couldn't stop the hiss that erupted from her lips. Shaking her head at the blonde's apologies she watched as he wrapped her hands gently 'and neatly' her mind added, not noticing as the other brunette walked in when Joey finished "There Dr Wheeler is finished!" giggling slightly the teen smiled "Well thank you Doctor, you know Joey you could probably become a doctor if you wanted to" seeing his downcast look she wondered what was wrong "I wouldn't Saki I can't afford college…much less medical school!" hearing a snort her eyes moved to the other male in the room "As if the mutt could get into them in the first place!" glaring the brunette made her mind up there and then "Joey, I'll pay for your tuition and you will become a doctor" seeing the blondes eyes widen made her smile "B-But Saki I can't do that to ya!" Shaking her head again the teen smiled warmly "Joey it's me offering, I will be able to afford it and I don't mind. You're my friend after all"
Kaiba frowned as he heard the teacher enter, any retort he would have made died as the silent ensued, typing on his laptop the brunette hazarded a glance over to the petite teen and noticed her bandaged hands with a slight pang of guilt. 'I caused her to do that' he thought as he worked. Glancing over again he noticed her sketching something and wondered idly what she was drawing before shaking his head and continuing his work. His mind torn in two directions, one was telling him he should apologize to the woman and the other side was his pride. Trying desperately to ignore them and focus on the task he was doing he managed to do so…to some extent. Glaring at the time on his laptop he knew that it would go slow. 'Just my luck, I have a company to run and I'm stuck here!' he thought in irritation, with one final look to the petite female, ignoring the guilt he was feeling the brunette returned to his work, the silence making him uncomfortable with what had transpired previously.
