Kagura had been spending most of the recess alone at a table in the cafeteria.
She wasn´t eating though, just thinking.
The students who had been witnesses to the fight had shut up the second the teacher on guard duty had shown up and thus she hadn´t gotten into any trouble, but just because she didn´t get into trouble with the school didn´t help too much on her problems.
She could hear them whisper about her in corners.

" That´s the brutal girl who beat up the dumbass. Yeah, I wouldn´t want to pick a fight with her, or get anywhere near her food for that matter,hihi.
.Don´t joke like that, she´ll send you too to the nurse if she hears you. "

And so on. Kagura was used to be a loner, but she wanted friends.

´Damnit, I don´t wanna end up like some old lady who tell stories about when she screwed up...Now how do I not end up like that..I guess I need to apologise to the moron, even if she punched me first I didn´t have to rough her up so badly. Yeah, I better apologise.´

With that thought in mind Kagura leaves her table and heads for the nurses office, decided to clear things up with Tomo.

"Ok, Tomo. Now you´re gonna tell me what REALLY happened when you were getting bread."

Yomi was leanining down over her friend who was sitting on the examination table, covered in bandaids.

"Geez, there´s no fooling you is there?" Tomo gave a half-hearted grin, but it faltered when she flinched in pain. "You didn´t fool anyone with that baka excuse, even Osaka saw right through it. I´m just the only one who actually wants to hear it, and besides, you´re my best friend, you should be able to tell me."
Tomo looks resignedly down into her lap, before she sighs and decides to let Yomi know.

"You know how sad Osaka was because she had to change classes, right? Well, I kinda blame Kagura for Osaka´s transfer."

"What the hell does Kagura has to do with this?"

"Just let me finish, Yomi. Think about it, Kagura has excellent athletic abilities, great for the sports fest and I don´t think her grades can be alot poorer than Osaka´s. And because of this...Yukari wanted her in her class. Now, I want to help Osaka feel better, since she´s alone during classes and such, so I´ve been acting, well...cheery and helpful around her. So, today I went to get her melonbread, but...I got delayed...and when I got to the cantina there were only a few pieces left. I charged at the bread and as I touched it so did Kagura.
I tried to nab it, but she pushed me down, just like that. Now, I was mad at her from the beginning, but now it all got pumped up and I saw red, I could only hear a constant beeping as I pounced on her."

"Pounced on her?but she´s way bigger and alot more athletic than you." Yomi gasped.

"Heh...yep, but that doesn´t stop Tomo now does it?..Anyway I got in about two lucky punches before she rolled me over and gave me the beating of a lifetime. Somehow I eventually managed to push her off me and I lunged for her again, but she dodged and kicked me in the ribs."

"Th..that bitch! How the hell dares she? You weigh like 15 kiloes less than her and you can´t fight to save your life. If she ever tries anything like that again I´ll..."

And just then, Kagura appears in the doorway, right behind Yomi. "Hey, is Tomo here? I came to apolo.."
Before Kagura got to complete the sentence Yomi had turned around and walked straight up to her and was now face to face with her.

"You dare show up here after what you did? What, did you come to finish the job? Maybe break her remaining ribs while you´re at it? Or hey, you know what would look cool? Tomo in a wheelchair, yeah, lets break her legs so she can´t run around and annoy you by wanting the last pieces of bread for her friend."

By now Kagura was breaking under the verbal assault Yomi was haggling down on her. Kagura felt tears in her eyes and as Yomi shifted position in front of her Kagura got a glimpse of Tomo sitting down. She had a thoughtful look on her face, at the same time as she looked like she didn´t know what to do.

"What the hell are you looking at? Don´t you look at her, you don´t deserve to, you...you...YOU!" And before Kagura got a say in Yomi pushed her away and slammed the door shut, right in front of her face.
Kagura stood still, staring at the door for several seconds, then she turned her gaze on what had used to be in her hands.
On the floor there were now two burst opened cans of soda.
She looked once more at the door and she took a step towards it, and fished out some paper and a pencil from her pockets. And then she wrote a note and slipped it underneath the door before she turned and ran out with tears streaming down her cheeks.
