"Hey! Get away from that boy!" Shuichi said coming to the darken alley. There were about three bully's and they all looked at Shuichi and started laughing.

"Look at the little girl trying to be a man." Said one of them.

"Maybe we should have some fun with him too! He'll look beautiful in a kimono." They all started laughing. Shuichi felt something snap inside of him. He walked calmly up to the first guy and gave him a upper cut right in the stomach. The guy doubled over in pain.

"I am not a girl! I'll teach you to make that mistake again!" Shuichi kicked the next guy in the stomach.

"Stupid Bitch!" The guy tried to grab Shuichi but Shuichi stepped aside gracefully and kicked the guy in the back.

"Let's get out of here!" They said when they realize they were all defeated. They ran off and Shuichi gloated at his victory. Finally he turned to the frighten young boy.

"Are you okay?" Shuichi offered his hand and the boy, shaking, grabbed it. Shuichi pulled the boy up and noticed the guy's had almost succeeded in getting the boy's clothes off.

"You go home straight to you mother, okay?" Shuichi said patting the boy's head.

"Thank you." The boy said quietly before running off. That's why Shuichi fought, to help the small kids see that they don't have to be weak. Shuichi sighed feeling quite content with himself. Until he heard the police sirens.

"Oh no, I bet they are coming here!" Shuichi looked around to see where he could hide, then he realized he didn't know where he was going!

"Stupid Dad!" Shuichi knew that he couldn't blame it on the bully's because they were gone, he would get into trouble and his father would send him back with his mother. His mother would cry because not even his own father wanted him.

Shuichi did something he usually never did, pray. Just his luck his prayer's were answered.

"Hey kid, you better get out of here because the cops get here." Said a deep rich voice. Shuichi turned to see the source of the voice. All he saw was shadows.

"I don't know where to go." Shuichi said tears coming to his eyes.

"I'll show you. Come on." A hand extended from the shadows.

"You won't get me into trouble? Can I trust you?"

"You can't trust me but I won't get you into trouble." The shadow said. Shuichi gingerly grabbed the hand and he felt himself being pulled through various alley ways. Finally after Shuichi felt his legs getting ready to fall off the hand finally stop. The only thing that Shuichi could see of the pale hand was a black sleeve. The hand let go of Shuichi who started to lean against the wall, huffing and puffing. The hand gave Shuichi a minute to catch his breath but then he grabbed Shuichi and started to drag him along.

"When are we going to be finish? I'm tired, my lungs feel like they are about to explode."

"You are the one who got you self in this situation! I wouldn't be complaining if I were you."

"But my feet hurt." Shuichi whined. Shuichi heard the hand growl.

"Fine." The hand said ducking inside of a café. He lead Shuichi to the back rooms of the café, shutting the door and locking it. The turned on the light and Shuichi noticed that the hand had a very handsome face to go with it. The man had blonde hair and beautiful amber eyes. He looked to be young, only about 17 or 18.

"Thank you for helping me." Shuichi said bowing to the handsome beauty in front of him.

"Next time think before blindly jump into a fight." The hand grunted.

"I'm Shuichi Shindou, who are you?"

"Doesn't matter, you'll probably never see me again after this day any way."

"Well, I guess I'll just make up a name for you. I'll call you Hercules since you saved me." Shuichi laughed. The boy looked at Shuichi felt a smile tugging at his lips.

"So Hercules, why didn't you help that little boy?"

"I had just gotten there and you seemed like you had everything in control."

"And if I needed help, would you have jumped in."

"I don't know." Hercules shrugged his shoulders.

"You are so mean!" Shuichi whined.

"Quit whining. You are to old." Hercules said yawning. "Aren't you going to call your parents or something? Don't they need to know how you almost got into trouble."

"I live with my father. I just came to Tokyo this morning. Dad sent me out here to look for African fried shrimp. I think he was just trying to get me out of the house. So since I didn't get hurt I think I'll just keep this to myself. Plus my sister bet me that I would get into a fight my first night here and I did so now I owe her Eiri Yuki's autograph. You don't happen to know him do you?"

"No I don't." Hercules said darkly.

"To bad. She loves his book's. Personally I've never read one of his books, in fact I haven't read a book for a while but if my sister likes him than he has to write good books, right?"

"I suppose so." Hercules shrugged his shoulders not feeling comfortable talking about Eiri Yuki.

"Right, so as long as my lil sis don't find out about the fight I won't have to look for Eiri Yuki, which would be so annoying since countless other girls have tried." Shuichi sighed and stretched his arms above his head.

"Where's the rest room?" Shuichi said.

"Down the hall on the left." Hercules said. Shuichi walked by Hercules but as he was doing so something fell out his pocket. He didn't notice it but Hercules did but he bent down and picked up the little black book.

It turned out to be a lyric book. Hercules flipped through the book and he felt himself frowning. What kind of idiot wrote this? If these were suppose to be love songs they did a poor job at it. Shuichi came back from the bathroom and gasped when he saw Hercules with his song book.

"Um, how did you get that?" He asked gently.

"It fell out of your pocket." Hercules said still reading rapidly through the songs. Shuichi felt himself blush, those lyrics were his innermost feelings and a foreigner was looking over them like they were nothing.

"You wrote these?"

"Hai." Shuichi's blush deepened.

"They suck." Hercules gave the book back to Shuichi and lit of a cigarette.

"Excuse me?" Shuichi said the blush leaving his face.

"You heard me. A grade school kid could do better. Who taught you how to write, a dog?"

"How do you know about good literature?" Shuichi yelled.

"Believe me, I know enough. You are writing about love and you have never been in love."

"How do you know?"

"Because than your lyrics wouldn't be talking about how 'love is like rainbow because it circles around my heart'? Where do you get this stuff?"

"Shut up!" Shuichi yelled. This stranger knew nothing about him. How was he to know Shuichi had never crushed on a girl or kissed anyone. Shuichi didn't know a damn thing about love but when it came from someone else it pissed Shuichi off.

"Don't get mad kid, some have talent and others don't. You are part of the others." Hercules laughed to himself.

"You bastard! I'm going home." Shuichi said turning and leaving.

"You don't know where to go."

"I'll take my chances." Shuichi said going down the hall. Hercules went to catch up with the boy and grabbed him by his shoulder.

"Relax kid, everyone can take a little criticism in their lives. I'll give you a ride in my car."

"I'm not a kid!" Shuichi said pouting.

"Come on." Hercules said taking Shuichi in his car. Shuichi marveled at the nice sports car and realized that Hercules must of been loaded. Hercules started to light up his second cigarette.

"You shouldn't smoke. It's bad for you."

"Well you shouldn't write, because it's bad for you." Hercules countered before speeding off. Shuichi put on his seat belt and glared at him. Shuichi told Hercules where he lived and Hercules took him there without another word. When he reached home Shuichi said, "Thank you for saving me once again Hercules."

"You are welcome." Hercules said shrugging like it was no big deal, and it probably wasn't. Shuichi got out of his car and made his way back to him apartment.

"Dad! I couldn't find the shrimp, so I didn't get anything, is that okay? We can order out right? Dad!" Shuichi went into his bedroom and turned on the light and gasped, his eyes felt like they were going to pop out of their sockets. His room looked totally new! There was a black and red cheetah print bedspread and a nice black fluffy rug on the ground. Everything in the room was either black or red. Even the walls switched colors.

"Wow!"

"I hope you like it. Your mother told me you had eccentric taste so I got someone to help me and this was the result that we got. I did good right?"

"Of course! It's beautiful! Shuichi went over to his bed and saw a uniform laying on it. It was a navy blue jumper.

"My school has uniforms?"

"Of course! It's nothing like those public schools. Tomorrow is your first day, it's going to be so exciting! So, since you are now a official of my house, let's go celebrate by having dinner!"

"Sounds yummy." Shuichi said, his stomach answered by growling loudly.

"Good let's go." Shuichi followed his father and they went to a semi-formal restaurant. Shuichi found out him and his dad had more in common than he thought and they actually got along pretty good. I'm going to get along just find, Shuichi thought happily to himself. He should know no happiness did not come without first sacrifices.
