Ok, this is written by both me and my good friend, Cordiers-Smith.

Cordiers' dreams blended with the annoying beeping of that alarm clock!
His eyes opened slowly, he clenched them shut again. "Stupid friggin school! Why am I in the friggin student exchange program, now I gotta actually go to school!" He dragged himself out of bed and pulled on his jeans and tee-shirt. Yusuke was not in the room, probably checking on his mom. He grabbed his shades off the dresser, he pulled a comb through his rugged hair and lumbered off to the bathroom, the only thing he hated more than school was early mornings!
Denji saw Cordiers stumble into the bathroom as she made her way to the kitchen. He looked half awake. She went into the kitchen and grabbed a bowl from the cabinet. She saw note on the table from Yusuke saying he was leaving early. Denji raised an eyebrow at that. Yusuke hadn't struck her as an early person. She had just finished her cereal when Cordiers came in. Cordiers stopped at the entrance and rubbed the sleep from his eyes.
"Up so early?" He inquired. Denji looked up.
"Up so late?" Cordiers laughed.
"I enjoy my sleep! Where's Yusuke?" She gestured towards note on the table. Cordiers quickly read the note.
"Yusuke early? It's Armageddon!" It was her turn to laugh.
"Well we best be off then." She said.
"I haven't had breakfast."
"You shoulda got up earlier." Cordiers smirked.
"Whatever, ready when you are!" Denji tossed him a breakfast bar as they grabbed their books. He groaned as the sunlight hit his eyes. Denji chuckled at him. He glared at her.
"Stop being so friggin CHEERFUL!!" he growled.
"Stop being so grumpy," she retorted. They turned the corner and saw a group of guys standing in their way.
"Well, well, what have we here?" one of them asked. "Looks like friends of Yusuke Urameshi."
"So, what's it to ya?" Cordiers snarled. The leader smirked.
"Well, we can't find Urameshi, so you'll have to do."
"That's not a wise move." Denji said, softly. "Are you sure you want to be whipped?" The guys laughed.
"Whipped? By you little girl? What fantasy world are you living in?" Denji dropped her books to the ground and held up her hands. Cordiers sighed and pulled his hands up into the defensive position.
"I'm warning you guys, I'm a black belt!" he said. The stooges almost doubled over with laughter.
"Buddy, you know how old that line is?" Cordiers smirked, the only problem with that reasoning was that he actually was! Denji gave a small smile. She hadn't had a good practice in a while. None of these guys were as good as she was, but at least she would be able to stretch her muscles. She turned to Cordiers.
"If you really are a black belt, then maybe you can keep up with me. If not, then try to stay out of my way." She said practically. Cordiers nodded. "
These punks aren't going to know what hit 'em!" Cordiers stretched out his hand and gestured to the people blocking his way. "Come on then and stop wasting my time."
"Why you little punk!" shouted the leader and charged at the two kids, his gang held back, waiting to see their boss pummel these dorks! The leader jumped at Cordiers pulling his fist around in a punch, Cordiers moved like water. He jumped back and grabbed his assailants wrist with a vise like clamp. He stepped in towards him, lashed out with his elbow. The leaders nose made a cracking noise, Cordiers made a particular twist of his hip. The man landed on the sidewalk with a sickening crunch, he groaned in pain. Denji nodded.
"Well Done." she said. The rest of the gang charged them. Denji sighed at the stupidity of the boys and waded into the fight. She ducked under the punch of one and slammed an open palm into the stomach of another. She twisted to her left and rammed her other fist into the jaw of the next one. Then she was hit from behind and fell to the sidewalk, scratching up her check. She rolled quickly back to her feet, lashing out with her foot to knock another one off his feet. She saw Cordiers out of the corner of her eye. She jumped and tackled a boy that had pulled a knife, and felt a sharp pain in her arm as the knife gouged her. She knocked it away, then punched the boy, knocking him out.
Cordiers quickly ducked under a flailing fist, he clocked another of the users and lashed out with his foot to his another. A fist flew out and whacked him in the back of the head, before he could recover another fist jammed into his stomach his knees almost buckled and a groan escaped his throat. His thumb and forefinger jutted out striking another in the neck, the kid grabbed his neck and started to cough uncontrollably. He looked to his left, Denji was bleeding and bleeding bad.
Denji winced at the pain in her arm. She was lying on the sidewalk, holding her arm with her other hand, trying to stop the bleeding. Two more of the boys rushed her and she lashed out with the only weapons available, her feet. As they leaned down to hit her, she struck them in the heads as hard as she could. They fell back, out. She struggled to sit up, biting her lip so as not to cry out. Her hand was slick with fresh blood. She saw Cordiers knock out the last two and turn toward her.
"I guess we're going to be late for school." she whispered. Cordiers rushed over to where she was laying. He smiled weakly.
"Yeah, you just sit still, I'm gonna to need you to raise your arm above your body." She did so, he ripped the sleeves off his tee shirt and bound her arm.
"Come on," he said while helping her up, "We need to get you to a doctor." The leader of the group groaned in pain, Cordiers sauntered carefully over to be sure he wasn't dying.
"You broke my nose," he muttered, "we're going to pay you out for this!"
"You shoulda really thought about that before you started beating on us!"
He groaned again as they passed. Then, quick as a flash, he pulled out a switchblade and attempted to cut Denji's Achilles tendon, Cordiers stepped on his arm.
"Ah, Ah, Ah!" he waved his finger with a rebuking air, "none of that now, learn to admit it when your beaten." He turned back to Denji. "Come on then, I don't want you to bleed to death in the Tokyo streets."

Denji and Cordiers didn't make it to school until lunch time. They had spent all morning at the hospital, getting Denji's arm stitched. She had fifteen stitches and her arm was in a sling. They found Yusuke sitting at a lunch table, looking bored. He turned as they dropped their books on the table. His eyes widened as he took in the sling, bandages, cuts, and bruises.
"What happened to you two?" he asked. Cordiers scowled.
"We ran into some friends of yours, you're not particularly liked around here are you?" Yusuke look perturbed.
"What happened? Are you ok? Oh crap, heads are going to roll!"
"Me, oh I'm fine, I've got a bit of bruise on the back of my head, but Denji's not so well."
"Fifteen stitches, and my arm is out of use for a few days. Nothing I can't handle." Yusuke growled. "Fifteen stitches????? That's not nothing. Some people can be really stupid!!!!" Denji gave a grim smile.
"It could have been worse. The knife was aimed at Cordiers' back." Cordiers eyebrow went up.
"I hadn't heard about that part." Denji gave Cordiers a small smile.
"I couldn't just let you be killed. Not over something that stupid." Cordiers didn't know what to say to that and shrugged. They grabbed lunch before the bell sent them to their next class.
