Chapter 2: Saving you

Tsubasa and Misaki were walking at the corridor near their class, when they saw Kumiko being bullied again by Shirou and his gang. They were throwing crumpled papers at her, because she won't give them her homework for math class.

"Cut it out!" Kumiko shouted, reaching for her homework, which was being thrown around.

Tsubasa walked up to them, Misaki followed. Misaki used her Doppelganger Alice and beat up Shirou's gang. Tsubasa grabbed Kumiko's homework from Shirou and he just glared at him. He didn't even use his Alice, why on earth will he use his Alice for a pathetic guy like Him!

Shirou death glared Tsubasa and just run off to catch up with his gang, who were all beaten up by Misaki herself. Tsubasa turned to face Kumiko, who was being comforted by Misaki.

"Here" he handed her already torn homework at the sobbing Kumiko. Kumiko reached for her homework and placed it inside her bag. She wiped the tears from her face and eyes and walked off.

"Poor girl, always being bullied by those jerks!" Misaki exclaimed, looking at Kumiko, who was walking inside her class, their class.

The school bell rang and math class has begun. Everyone was busy chatting about his or her homework, which was really difficult. Kumiko settled herself peacefully on her seat and placed her homework on top of her table. She looked at her torn paper and sighed. The teacher will definitely scold her; a teardrop fell from her eyes to her homework.

"Hey! Here!" Kumiko looked at the person, who offered her a tissue. It was Tsubasa. She shook her head and placed her head on top of her table. "I'm fine! Please leave me alone." She said softly. Tsubasa walked off.

The teacher went inside and told them to pass their homework forward. After all the papers were in and at the teacher's hand, Kumiko began to worry. The teacher looked at her direction and showed her paper in front of everyone. Kumiko blushed.

"What's the meaning of this, miss Tsubame? Is this a joke? What happened to your darn paper?" the teacher asked angrily.

Kumiko stood up frantically. She bowed down to apologize, but when she was about to explain, Tsubasa stood up, which made everyone's attention focus at him.

"Sorry sir, I played a silly joke at Kumiko and I accidentally torn her homework!" he bowed down and looked at Kumiko and smiled.

The teacher looked at Kumiko and raises his right brow. "Is this true, miss Tsubame?"

Kumiko looked at Tsubasa's direction, who nodded his head. She turned to face the teacher and nodded her head slowly. "We're sorry sir!" Kumiko exclaimed.

The teacher walked up to Tsubasa. "Now Tsubasa, I guess you know what your punishment is?" the teacher asked.

"I'll just sit down and forget about it!" he smiled mischievously. Everyone laughed.

"Darn boy! Do me a five hundred word essay about this!" he showed the paper to him. Tsubasa sweat dropped. "That's unfair!" he blurted out. The teacher narrowed his eyes. "Or do you want a one thousand word essay!" the teacher asked. Tsubasa shook his head and sat down. "Five hundred word essay is enough!"

It was now time for P.E. class. Everyone changed into their P.E. uniform and went to the field. The teacher told them to group into five teams with five members. They were all going to play the famous "Alice Volleyball".

The teacher first called Tsubasa's team, which, is made up of Misaki, Akemi, Sakura, Kumiko and Tsubasa, they are fighting against Shirou's team, which obviously made up of his gang. Shirou was grinning at Kumiko, who looked away.

All were in their position; the teacher blew her whistle and the game started. First, Shirou's going to serve the ball, it was falling straight at Tsubasa who jumped up and spiked it real hard that noone was able to catch it. A point goes to Tsubasa's team. All were going well when Shirou came up with a plan. Sakura served the ball and landed down to Rae, who threw it to Shirou. Shirou spiked it real hard and Misaki caught it. The spike was real strong and Misaki fell on the ground, Kumiko run up to her. Shirou's plan was going too well. He reached for the ball, used his Alice of full strength and was going straight to Kumiko's direction, straight to her face.

"Look out!" Misaki saw the ball going straight at Kumiko. Kumiko saw the ball almost near her and she was too scared to dodge it or spike it. She fell on the ground and covered her face with her hands. Shirou giggled.

"Hit her!" Shirou shouted. His gang was laughing teasingly.

"Nooooo!" Kumiko screamed.

"Watch out!" Tsubasa dived in front of her and the ball hit him hard on his face and he stumbled to the ground, which injured his left ankle and his nose was bleeding. Kumiko saw everything, how he sacrificed himself for her sake. She looked at Tsubasa's direction, who was still down, touching his sore nose. Shirou rolled his eyes. "Darn luck!"

"Shirou! I saw everything! Using your Alice to injure someone, come with me and your gang to the student principal!" the teacher exclaimed. "Misaki, please accompany Tsubasa to the clinic!" Misaki nodded.

Kumiko stood up and ran up to Tsubasa, whose nose stopped bleeding. She knelt down beside him and looked at his injured leg. She felt guilty for what happened. Misaki and Kumiko helped him stand up.

"I'm sorry you got hurt saving me!" Kumiko bowed down shyly. "I am really sorry!" she looked at him with teary eyes.

"Come on Kumi! It's all right! And besides if that ball hit you, everyone including Shirou's gang's going to tease you for being a weak person!" Tsubasa smiled and then winced in pain. There was a scratch on his cheek.

"Sorry! But you don't have to save me!" Kumiko wiped her teary eyes with her muddy hands.

"I'll save you of course you're my friend Kumi and besides, someone who is delicate as you shouldn't get hurt! Don't worry I'll always protect you!" he smiled. Kumiko blushed. She looked at his eyes, who were telling the truth. She was thunder struck, she thought Tsubasa was an ice prince, a cold hearted person, but when he spoke to her, he sounded like a real nice person. She liked him even better. She smiled at him and she and Misaki accompanied him to the clinic.

"So this is the true Tsubasa! The boy I liked and will always like!" Kumiko thought, smiling to herself, happy of what her true feelings were, happy she met him!
