Brick's Pov
Riiing
The bell rung again, signifying the end of the period. I sighed grateful for the fact that I finally get a break. And I all I have to do is sneak away from Princess. This was another period of Princess babbling about stupid shit I didn't care about, but she does have important information and I would know them by now if she didn't hop from conversation to conversation. I stood up, from my chair while Princess' attention was on her phone and walked out of the class.
"A- Akuma?" A girl with short blonde hair and two of her friends looked at me. While the girl who called out my name looked like a nervous, the other two seemed excited.
"Yes?" I shoved my hands in my pockets and tapped my feet impatiently hoping they would get the message. Unfortunately, they didn't.
"Um, I was wondering if you would like to hang ou-"
"Akuma!" From behind me Princess yelled, stepping past me and standing in front of the girl. With her poofy purple dress, she scowled at the the timid girl. "What do you think you're doing?"
"Oh, hey Princess. We were going to hang out with Akuma." One of her friends smiled cheerily, stepped around Princess and grabbed my arm. What the fuck is going on, I don't think I agreed to hanging out with anyone.
Before I could shake the first girl off, Princess decided to grab my other arm. "Actually, Akuma was going to eat lunch with me, I don't think he'll enjoy your peasant food anyway." She jeered at them. Both groups glared at each other, and grabbed my arm harder.
Tick marks formed on my head, as I grew impatient. "Grr. Wou-" I stopped halfway through my words when I heard a small rolling sound.
"Does anyone hear that?" Princess asked. I tracked the sound to its source, and found a small shiny round ball rolling towards Princess' feet. "What the hell?" With that, orange smoke filled the hallway. The girls, shrieked and started covering their eyes, finally releasing my arm. However, that freedom was short lived as another arm grabbed me from the smoke and lead me out of it with an obnoxious laughter.
"It seemed like you needed help, lucky your younger sibling was there to help." Bane laughed as he continued to run down the hall, finally letting go of my arm. With my arm free, I hit Bane on the head, and he dropped the ground rolling in pain. "Ow, why'd you do that?"
"Why did you think it was a good idea to set off a smoke bomb in the school!?" I whispered angrily. "You could get us caught, you know that right?"
Bane stopped rolling on the ground, and grinned widely. "Nah it's fine, I made sure to clean up the mess right after we left." He pointed down to his belt. Now that I noticed, Bane wasn't wearing his school attire either, he was donned in his RowdyRuff uniform and his hair and eyes were a gold color.
I hit him again, this time harder. " And what if you get caught in your Ruff outfit?" I sighed again, half agitated.
This time, he smiled sheepishly and laughed nervously. "I didn't think of that, but if it makes you feel better, I don't sense anyone else around us." He pressed his belt, and in an instant he was back into his orange parka and black jeans.
"Whatever, just don't do it again." I shook my head, but I was glad to get away from Princess. "But how did, you deal with the smoke?" I asked out of curiosity. Since Bane didn't have someone to fight, we still don't know what his powers were.
"It's a secret." He stuck his tongue out at me, grinning widely.
"Hey!" Before I could say more, Bane opened the door to a courtyard.
It took a few seconds for my eyes to adjust to the sunlight, but the first thing I noticed was the large crowd of people standing around in a circle. They all were chanting "Fight! Fight! Fight!" in a continuous loop, and if not that they were laughing or cheering.
"Wow, our very first school fight!" Bane made his hands into binoculars as he tried to get a better look at the crowd. "I wonder who it could be." He took a step towards the crowd, but before he could run off I grabbed onto his hood.
"Not so fast. We have more important things to do then getting ourselves mixed into trouble." I walked the opposite direction of the fight, going towards the only shade I could find which were under some trees. "Where's Boomer and Butch, anyway?"
"I don't know." Bane strugged. "Boomer and I went off to look for you, so he could still be in the school, but Butch remained outside. Maybe he went to check out the fight."
"I doubt it, knowing Butch, he would be taking another nap by now." I scanned the courtyard hoping to catch a glimpse of Butch or Boomer, but after looking another time I still came up with nothing. If only that stupid crowd would clear up, I would be able to spot him easier.
"Hey! What's going on!?" As if granting my wishes, two security guards came bounding the stairs. They ran towards the crowd, and in less than a minute, the crowd started to break apart.
"Is that.. Madoka!?" Bane jumped up, and ran towards the diminishing crowd.
"What?" I chased after him, but in a few steps, I was able to see Butch in the middle, being held by one of the security guards. He had a bruise on his cheek, but other than that he seemed fine. Well, other than the fact he looked pissed off. He seemed to be glaring at the other security guard, but with a closer inspection the guard also had someone in their arm. The person was fighting violently, and it looked like even the guard was having trouble holding the student.
"Kaoru! Can you please calm down?" A girl with blonde pigtails said. She held a green skateboard in her arm. "You'll get in more trouble if you keep on resisting."
"I'll calm down after beat the shit out of the lil' punk." With a sudden burst of strength, he flipped the guard over his head, an instant K.O, and aimed a punch straight at Butch.
"Hey, what do you think you're doing?" I stepped in front of Kaoru, and easily grabbed his fist. He gave me a confused look, anger leaving his face before returning once more, but this was a battle I knew I wouldn't lose in. I glared back squeezing his fist harder at the same time.
Kaoru glared back, slightly grimacing at the strength of my grip but remained unfazed. "Move out of my wa-"
"Kaoru!" A voiced yelled from behind me. "Momoko Chop!" Momoko slammed a book on top of Kaoru's head.
"Ow! What the heck Momoko!?" Kaoru dropped to the ground covering her head with her hands. "You know that fucking hurts, right!?"
"Well maybe you shouldn't be getting into fights so often." Momoko tapped the book rhythmically against her palm and then pointed the book towards me. "And I knew you were bad news, but you also got in a fight with Kaoru?"
"Hey, Kaoru was the one who started it!" I yelled. This day was getting more frustrating by the minute "And I'm not the one he was in a fight with." but he was about to, I thought.
"He!? Kaoru is a girl!" Momoko yelled back at me. "Plus didn't your brother steal Kaoru's skateboard.
Wait, Kaoru's a girl!? Wait, there's more important things to think about."But that doesn't mean he, I mean she, has a right to attack my brother!"
Kaoru stood back up and kicked at the ground. "Well, I wouldn't have had to, if he just would've gave back my skateboard." She mumbled. "And I tried to go easy on him too."
"You meant, I went easy on you." Butch scoffed, the security guard that was once holding him laid splayed out on the ground. How he did it without us noticing, nobody knows.
"The bruise on your face says otherwise" Kaoru rolled up her sleeve and cracked her knuckles. For a split second I saw sparks pass between them, as the glaring contest started up again. This was the angriest I've seen him in a while.
"Everyone stop it!" The blonde girl screamed at the top of her lungs, giving me slight hearing problems."There's no need to fight anymore, so could we please stop arguing..."
"I totally agree with Miyako."
"What's going on here?" A tall lady walked towards us. She had black greyish hair tied back into a bun, wore big thick glasses, and was dressed in a white dress shirt and khaki skirt.
"Damn..." Kaoru mumbled a stream of curses and looked at the ground. The security guards started to get back up, slightly confused, probably wondering to themselves how they could get beaten by two high schoolers. Bane whispered something into both of their ears, making them turn pale, before walking back to me.
"Why were both of you on the ground?" The teacher asked the guards. I silently cursed to myself, Butch could be in big trouble if he was also charged with assault. The guards looked each other then looked back at the teacher.
"We just dropped something on the ground." They cleared their throats.
"What'd you tell them?" I whispered to Bane.
"Oh nothing much. Something like, What would the school think if they heard their super strong guards were taken by a couple high schoolers, and I doubt you would get another job with information like that hanging around." From his pockets he pulled out pictures of both of the security guards getting taken out. "I doubt they will say anything too incriminating now."
"Good going!" I roughly patted his head.
"Anyway, what was all the commotion going on out here?" The teacher looked at Kaoru and Butch, then back to Kaoru. "Kaoru, it would surprise me if you weren't the cause if the problem."
"It actually wasn't my fault this time." Kaoru crossed her arms. "It was his." She pointed to Butch.
"It's never your fault. You can't keep fighting your problems." The teacher sighed deeply, and pushed her glasses to the bridge of her nose. "Anyway, I can handle these two. Thank you." She waved off the guards. "Both of you are coming to my office."
Sorry for the long wait. I've been busy with school and and other activities. I'm finally on break, so I will be trying to update more frequently. Read and Review
