AN: I'm so so sorry I didn't upload anything last week. I was experiencing a really painful stomach ache that went to my back and couldn't focus on anything -_- So yeah, it wasn't pretty at all; October just wasn't my month it seems.

I tried to force myself to write again… I don't really like this chapter, though. The next one will be longer and better.


Sirius knocked on the door of the Principal's office; receiving an answer he quietly opened it. "Sir, if I may speak with you."

Mr. Kane just motioned to the chair across from his desk.

Taking a seat he started. "What kind of school allows this kind of things go this far?"

He sighed and placed his hands on top of the desk interlacing his fingers. "I wasn't informed of the happenings on the school grounds. Violence of any kind is not tolerated in this school." He said. "The perpetrator is about to get expelled right now."

"I hope so, if not I would have to take my son out of this school, greatest institute of music of not."

Suddenly there was a knock on the door and Alan entered, approaching the desk. "Sir, if I may."

"Excuse me but who are you?" Sirius asked.

"He is my son."

Noticing Sirius, he quickly addressed to him. "Alan Kane, sir." He greeted. "Nice to meet you."

"Sirius Black. I don't know if I could say the same." He stated. "My son has told me about you. He was a little uneasy, saying that he felt observed the whole time he was in class." He stared at him seriously. "I expect you have some explanations to do."

The Principal sighed. "Alan, I was hoping you would control yourself. Please, excuse my son. He wasn't expecting to see Lily's son in his class and couldn't help himself."

"We knew each other when we were kids." Alan started. "I understand that he doesn't remember me."

"You knew him?"

Mr. Kane interceded. "I used to visit Lily and her husband along with Alan, before the accident. He was friends with her son, Haru. Always wanted to go and visit."

"Father-"

"But then that unfortunate incident happened. He was distraught when he found out so I sent him away in a school abroad." He glanced at him. "He still won't forgive me."

Alan looked away.

Kane stared at him gravely. "I hope that this won't be a problem in the future."

Alan tightly clenched his fist. "Yes, sir. Now if you'll excuse me I have to call some parents and inform them of what happened."


"What happened?"

"They suspended him. There shouldn't be any more problems."

Haru stared at him. "And… about Tadashi…"

"There isn't any complain about what happened. And it's better that way."

"His parents could expect compensation… For his nose."

"If that were the case I could ask the same. It's not the first time that he tried to hurt you, isn't it?"

Haru nodded.


"Are you going to be okay?" Tadashi asked when they got ready to leave the school.

He smiled. "Yes," He gingerly took his bruised hand. "I'm sorry about what happened, though."

"It's not your fault. You hear me?"

Haru sighed but nodded, biting his lip. "What are you going to tell Cass? Or Hiro? They are going to find out eventually."

"Well, what can I say? Only the truth. That I saved you from the bad guy as the hero I am, of course." He said, puffing out his chest.

Haru laughed, taking his cap from his head and kissed him chastely. "My hero with baseball cap."


"I talked with the Principal." Sirius started. "It turns out that you two knew each other many years ago."

"What?"

"That was my reaction too. But that explains why he kept staring at you, he knew you. You really don't remember him?"

"No… was it before…?"

"Yes, before the incident."

He nodded and frowned thoughtfully. "I don't remember much... I think… I remember a boy a little older than me, but everything it's vague."

He glanced at Sirius. "Is there something you aren't telling me?"

"Nothing to be worried about." He reassured him. "Just tell me if something like this happen again, alright?"

Haru stared at him strangely but nodded.
