JackalGod: I'm back
Ban: Goody
Akabane: You'd better behave or I'll give you another detention on top of the one you're about to have.
Ban: Oh put a...
Akabane: Uh, uh, uh. Mind your manners
Ban: grumble
Ryoma and Ginji faced each other on the basketball courts. Everyone from their year level and lots of others surrounded them. When Ryoma picked a fight, it was always good to watch, not to mention his victim usually needed immediate medical attention afterwards
"You're dead Amano." spat Ryoma cracking his knuckles
"Funny, you'd think I'd have stopped breathing." replied Ginji coolly. Ban who was standing at the front of the crowd couldn't believe his ears. Since when was Ginji Amano calm and cool about anything. And since when did Ginji glow? Glow?
"Nobody looks at my girl. You're gonna pay." roared Ryoma before charging at Ginji who jumped nimbly out of the way causing Ryoma to over balance and almost fall over
"To slow Ryoma." said Ginji one hand in his pocket. Everyone was staring in awe at Ginji's speed. Ban watched with interest
'He's fast, but I'm faster.'
"You punk." bellowed Ryoma swinging at Ginji who dodged every attack with ease "Stand still so I can hit you!" Ginji stopped moving and caught Ryoma's fist in his
"You mean like this." Electric energy sparked around Ginji as he shocked Ryoma who screamed as the lightning coursed through his body. Ginji dropped the chard lump to the ground and put his hands back in his pockets. A boy with long silver hair burst out of the crowd and ran to Ryoma's side
"Brother! Are you alright?" asked the boy in distress
"Nice to see you again Ayame." said Ginji walking up to the silver haired boy
"Raitei!" whimpered Ayame terrified. Everyone started muttering
"Raitei? But isn't that that really strong guy from Mugenjou?"
"Didn't you hear Ginji's from Mugenjou?"
"So Ginji's the legendary Raitei?"
"Please don't hurt me." cried Ayame cowering away from Ginji who'd stopped glowing
"Why would I hurt you?" asked the blond before turning to wave at Ban
"Hey Ban-chan. I won; see I told you not to worry."
"Yeah I guess you did." agreed Ban walking over and patting Ginji on the back "So what's with you electrocuting him?"
"My body can conduct electricity sort of like electric eels." explained Ginji making a spark between his thumb and finger
"That's something different." commented Ban and both he and Ginji left the stunned crowd. Shido and the others who had been standing in the crowd followed them. They left the school together laughing and joking. About five minutes from the school Emishi was suddenly struck with an idea
"Hey Mido?"
"What?" asked Ban turning around
"Don't you have detention tonight with Akabane?"
"Oh, shit I forgot about my detention and I'm way late." cried Ban before turning and tearing down the street back towards the school. He practically fell into the classroom panting heavily. Akabane looked up from his correction and grinned evilly when he saw the exhausted brunette. The couple of Year 7's in the detention were already close to tears. Akabane's detentions had that effect on people
"You're late Mido-kun." Akabane all but purred
"Sorry, I forgot and left." said Ban sitting down up the back
"Oh no. You're sitting up the front where I can keep an eye on you." said Akabane pointing to a seat right in front of him. Ban groaned, walked up to the front, and sat down. Akabane handed him a sheet of paper
"I thought I'd try something a bit different for this detention. We're writing lines."
"Oh goody." said Ban sarcastically taking the paper and pulling a pen out of his bag
"You will write 'I sorry for what I did and I won't do it again' five hundred times. Think you can handle that?" asked Akabane taking his seat again
"I'm not in Elementary School anymore you know." snapped Ban before starting to write the lines as neat as he could so Akabane wouldn't tell him to do it again.
"Really I wouldn't have guessed by the way you act." said Akabane not looking up from his own work. Ban opened his mouth to snap back but thought better of it. "Watch yourself Mido-kun I can make your life a living hell this year."
"You mean you haven't already?" asked Ban in mock surprise. Akabane just smiled and continued his own work.
"I wonder if Akabane-Sensei will punish Ban-chan for being late." wondered Ginji aloud as he and Shido waited outside the school for their friend. The others had long since gone home
"Are you kidding?" asked Shido leaning against one of the many trees in the grounds "Mido's not gonna come out of this unscathed."
"Why do you and the other call him Mido and not Ban?" asked Ginji from his place in the tree Shido was lying under
"Cause he won't let us call him Ban." replied Shido shortly
"He doesn't mind me calling him Ban-chan." said Ginji flipping up-side-down on the branch
"Careful." warned Shido looking up at the blond who was situated right above him "you might fall on me." Ginji laughed
"I'm glad to see you're so concerned for my safety above your own." Shido smiled but didn't reply. There was just something about the boy that made him feel at peace. Although he couldn't pinpoint the reason, he could tell that Ginji would an excellent addition to their team. Suddenly there was a cry of frustration as Ban came storming out of the school
"Hey Ban-chan!" cried Chibi Ginji jumping off the branch and ran to Ban before latching onto his head. A loud grunt alerted him to the fact he'd jumped on Shido on his way to Ban
"Gomen, Shido." said Ginji sheepishly as Shido stood up and walked towards them.
"Never mind. Just be more careful next time." Ban was confused by Shido's reaction. Although his friend did have anywhere near, the short fuse he had, normally if anyone disturbed his under-tree-sitting, as they liked to call it. He'd through a fit and beat the living crap out of whoever had disturbed him.
"So how was your detention?" asked Shido
"Surprisingly uninteresting. We wrote lines." replied Ban
"That doesn't sound like Akabane-Sensei at all." said Shido "Shall we go?"
"Sure." agreed Ban before setting off after Shido's retreating form.
Ginji bounced happily into school the next morning. Apart from having to fight Ryoma his first day had been fun.
"Morning Amano-san." came a bored voice. Ginji turned and waved to Jubei who'd come in just behind him
"Morning Jubei!"
"You're in a good mood." pointed out Jubei not changing his expression
"Why wouldn't I be?"
"Well I know you won't be after Phys Ed." replied Jubei before walking off leaving a thoroughly confused Ginji behind. Ginji shrugged it off and went to his locker to put his bag away. Ginji pulled his sport uniform out of his bag and headed off towards the gym where his class was already waiting.
"Hey Amano." called Shido from where he was leaning up against the wall
"Good morning Shido." called Ginji brightly "Where's Ban-chan?" Shido flinched slightly at the –chan at the end of the name but pointed to the back of the building
"He's around there." Ginji nodded and dashed around the building. He stopped short when he saw what Ban was doing. He was standing there leaning against the wall, a smoke hanging from his mouth
"Umm, good morning Ban-chan."
"Hey Ginji." said Ban throwing away his smoke
"You smoke?"
"Sorry it's a habit I got from Mr. Kudou." explained Ban "I know I should it's just a habit."
"And a bad one at that." came a sudden voice that made them both jump. The pair turned to see Kazuki with his arms crossed over his chest "You really shouldn't smoke Mido."
"Look I don't need your opinion Thread Spool-yipe!" cried Ban as his arms were pinned to his sides by strong threads.
"Kazu-chan?" asked Ginji confused. He noticed the threads seemed to be coming from the bells Kazuki wore in his hair but how was that possible. "What are you?"
"Kazuki let go right now!" ordered Ban, the threads loosened and returned to the bells in Kazuki's hair.
"Forgive me Mido I shouldn't have." Ban opened his mouth to give what would've been something close to an apology but was cut off my a gruff voice
"You three class has started!" the group turned to see a big man with whistle around his neck and dark sunglasses.
"Hishiki-Sensei!" cried Kazuki "We didn't hear the bell."
"The loudspeakers broken here and has been for the past month. Everyone in the school knows that." replied Hishiki "Get inside now we're starting."
"Yes Sir." they replied before quickly running into the gym.
