Chapter 6: New Beginnings; Dojo Day
"Kyo-kun, are you coming?"
"I'll be right there, relax!"
"Just hurry! You'll be late for school!"
"I'm coming, okay!" He ran out the door and past Kagura who had been badgering him for the past ten minutes.
"Hey! Wait for me!" she yelled, chasing after him. "KYO-KUN!"
She caught up to him and directed a punch to his right shoulder. "I said wait!"
"Ahhh!" He stumbled from the force of the blow and landed on his ass. "You hit me!"
"Because you weren't listening!"
"But I-"
"Not another word! Now get up and walk me to school!" she commanded.
He grumbled about 'temperamental boars' for a bit before Kagura shot him an evil glare that quite clearly said, 'Shut up or get hurt.' He wisely obeyed and she smiled. She grabbed his hand that was hanging by his side in her own and skipped down the road. He struggled to keep up with out having to quicken his pace what so ever. Finally he just ended up walking faster, seeing the school gate approaching.
"Bye, I'll see you later!" he yelled over his shoulder, running towards his building. He knew he wouldn't be able to avoid her for long and he also knew that he was going to get beaten badly this afternoon after that good-bye…
-------------
So much pain… Kyo stared at the ceiling, dully noting that karma was in fact a bitch. He had known it was coming the moment she greeted him a little too sweetly after school, when she'd been a little too nice to him on the walk here, and the way she'd told him to meet her in the dojo when he was finished changing… It all pointed to a very painful encounter and he was right.
Kagura smiled down at him triumphantly. She politely offered him a hand to help him up and he reluctantly took it.
"Oh, Kyo-kun that was priceless," she said, giggling. "I never knew you screamed like a girl."
"I do not scream like a girl," he denied as he got up, releasing her hand as soon as possible.
"Ah, ah, ah!" she chided. "Don't be so hasty! Or you'll just end up on the ground again."
"Fine," he resolved, squeezing her hand briefly. "Better?"
"Much!"
"Hey, Kyo," Haru called from across the dojo. "She's right you know; you do scream like a girl."
"I do not!"
Haru leveled him with a glare. "Are you calling me a liar?"
"I guess I am!"
"Well then maybe you should come here and we'll see," he challenged.
"Let's go!"
"Hyah!" he yelled, charging at Kyo.
"Hey! Knock it off!" Kagura called. "Kyo, you have to be in one piece for our date tonight!"
"Date?" Haru and Kyo repeated dumbly.
"Yes, silly…" She giggled.
"When did you decide this!" he demanded.
"Just now," she replied.
Kyo rolled his eyes and moved away from Haru slowly. "So when exactly are we going on this date?"
"As soon as I get cleaned up." She winked at him and headed out, leaving him standing in the dojo.
"Why me…"
-------------------------
"Oh, Kyo-kun, this is wonderful!"
"Uh-huh…"
"Don't you think so?" she asked, looking up at him.
"Yeah," he said, avoiding her stare.
"Oh, look! A shooting star!" she exclaimed, pointing at the sky. "Make a wish, Kyo-kun!"
Kyo gazed up to where she was pointing just in time to watch the star go whizzing by. He closed his eyes and did as Kagura had requested. She tugged on his jacket, trying to get his attention.
"What did you wish for?"
"Isn't that supposed to be kept a secret if it's to come true?"
She pouted. "I guess… but can't you tell me anyway?"
"No." He shifted next to her uncomfortably. He didn't really want to tell her that he'd wished for this date to end so he could go to bed…
"I'll tell you mine-"
"Don't you want it to come true?"
"Of course I do! But it can't come true if you don't know about it," she answered.
"Why is that?" He raised a thin eyebrow, questioning her.
"Because I wished that you… you would kiss me," she confessed bashfully.
