Chapter-4

Rano walked around grinning broadly. There were blondes and brunettes. Red heads and even blue and pink haired girls everywhere. It was his dream come true!!! "Girls, girls, girls!!!" he sighed as the first bell sent him walking with a group of guys towards their first class.

As he sat in a desk he noticed a girl sitting alone busily working on something. She had cute short pink hair and was wearing especially tight clinging clothes. Smirking he looked around her. No guys. Rano walked calmly up to her and leaned casually against her desk. "Hey." He said as she looked up at him. "Hey" she responded with a smile.

"I'm Rano. I just moved here." He said nodding his head waiting for her to nibble at his bait. "I'm Sophie. So where did you move here from?" she asked. Whoa she took a bite!!! "Uh….well…..I moved a lot. I've lived so many places it would take me all night to tell you about it. I was wondering if maybe you'd want to….you know get together and do something sometime." He said gazing at her from the corner of his eye.

"I would love to but…." She pointed behind her the smirk disappearing from her lips. Rano spun around just in time to see a group of angry guys walking towards him. They were being lead by a very muscular man with purple hair, his cold glare focused on Rano. Oh shit. Rano thought on the inside while on the inside he stood facing the group calmly.

They all wore sports jackets marking them as jocks, male preps. Rano matched his opponents glare. The man smirked and looked past him at Sophie. "Hey Trunks!!" she said getting up to give him a quick hug. "Who are you?" he asked as the girl pulled away. Trunks kept his arm around her shoulders as he looked at the smaller male who he had seen looking suggestively at his girlfriend. "My names Rano." Rano said feeling his stomach rise as he knew was coming came. "Rano huh? Well Rano have you ever heard that you shouldn't mess with something that doesn't belong to you?" Trunks asked eyeing him up and down.

"Sure." Rano said with a shrug. "Well than I suggest you take it to heart." He said pulling the girl closer causing her to giggle and blush. "I'm sorry I must have missed you mark. Or your scent. Don't see how I could have though" He mumbled walking past Trunks. The group all made a shocked gasp. Trunks held him back with one hand and pushed him back to his original spot. "Mind repeating that?" he asked anger clear in his voice.

Rano just looked at him shook his head in a way of mockery and again walked past. "That's what I thought. Oh and by the way nice ring fag." Trunks said his back still to him but Rano could tell by the sound of his voice he had a smirk on his face. Rano froze and turned stuffing the hand with his ring in his pocket. "What did you call me?" he asked grabbing Trunks shoulder and spinning him around.

"You heard me. Pussy. Gay. Queer. " With each new name Trunks pushed Rano. Rano pulled his arm back and was about to hit Trunks across the face when the teacher came in making both boys give one final glare then return to their desks.

The next class Rano went to was gym. He was surprised to see Trunks there talking and laughing with a group of guys. The activity was wrestling. Perfect. Rano thought with a smirk teasing at his lips. They were unfortunately matched by size and weight and Trunks weighed 50 more lbs. Than Rano. Figures too much muscle no room for brains. Rano mused as he watched him get a guy down easily.

After gym as they all stood dressing in the locker room Rano walked up to Trunks and shoved him into the lockers. Trunks turned around ready to bash the fucking punk's face in, but was surprised when he was the one sent flying through the chain of lockers. He sat up surprised as Rano walked through the hole and stood in front of him. "Is that all you got?" Trunks asked touching the corner of his mouth, which was dripping blood.

"Why don't you stand up and see? I never hit a man while he's down. That's cheap." He said steadily. Trunks smirked as he stood up. He was at least an honorable fighter. He'd give him that. Trunks swung and hit Rano hard sending him across the locker room. Rano dragged himself up. How was it possible for this normal guy to be able to hit like that?!?!?

Rano quickly wiped his nose and climbed to his feet. Both men smirked at each other, now aware of the challenge the other presented. The rest was a blur of kicks and punches. They were only briefly parted when one would sink a hit and the other would be sent flying in the opposite direction.

It ended when both were barely conscious…..laughing. "Man where did you learn to hit like that?!?!" Rano laughed sitting up. "Let's just say my old man is in the fighting business and I learned a little. How about you?" Trunks asked sitting up against a locker. "I was just born into it." Rano said standing up and offering a bloody hand to his new friend

Trunks took it and the two cleaned up and walked out together talking about their different experiences in battle. "Hey dude where's you ring?" Trunks asked looking at Rano's hand. "Ah man I took it off when we started to fight so I wouldn't ruin it!!!" Rano said smacking his forehead. The bell rang for the second time. "Just get it after school. We're going to get in deep shit if we're late!!!" Trunks said smacking his friend's arm causing him to wince. "Alright." Rano said uneasily.

At lunch Trunks and Rano sat talking yet again about fighting. "Yeah my father's not a push over. A lot of people are afraid of him for good reason. How 'bout yours?" Trunks said taking a huge bite out of a sandwich. "My old man was the best of his rank. I didn't know that much about hi though. He was killed when I was 5." Rano said staring at the table. "Sorry." Trunks said. The entire table full of talking and laughing people grew quiet.

"It was along time ago. But I haven't forgotten and I'm going to get his murderers." Rano said looking at Trunks intently. Who in turn smirked "Good luck. If you need any help…." Trunks started. "Yeah. I'll let you know." Rano said "Hey catch!!!' a football flew right into the middle of someone's lunch sending food everywhere. The call of 'Food Fight!!!!' broke the uneasy atmosphere.

As the last bell rang Rano and Trunks said there good byes and Rano headed towards the locker room to get his ring. He put it on and walked towards the fountain. His thoughts could not be shaken from his father and the conversation Trunks and he had shared at lunch. For some reason Trunks gave him a funny feeling, but he'd be damned if he'd tell him that!!! That kid had a hell of a left AND right hook!!!! Rano rubbed his jaw and smiled remembering the fight. He jogged towards Dayu's still form……
