Roar! I'm tired of not having anything interesting to talk about! So I created something fun! Character name fun-facts! Let's start with Daichi, shall we? One of the meanings of Daichi is ground. Heh heh! Also, Daiichi is the name of an insurance company in Japan. Just one extra I! Shut up, it's funny!

NOT MUCH OF A FIGHT

By lunch time at school the next day, Jatsuma still hadn't told anyone about Razor. When he had gotten home last night he was going to, but Daichi was intent on telling him a story about Shampoo coming over and trying to get him engaged to Lotion. Then the discussion of Shampoo's visit continued at dinner (even though Jatsuma had already eaten) and he just felt it would be too awkward to say, "Oh, by the way, Razor's a girl. Just F.Y.I." Then the next morning Makoto left early to get Iikiba and Jatsuma had already decided it would be best to tell her first before blabbing to anyone else. But when he got to school and tried to get Makoto aside to talk, Luffa attacked him again for being out on a date with Akemi. He was finding that the longer he waited, the harder it got to bring up the subject.

"Jatsuma, are you okay?" Daichi asked. He was sitting on the ground next to Jatsuma with their lunches sitting in front of them.

"Huh? Yeah, great! Why wouldn't I be?" He said quickly.

"Well it's just that you've been staring at your sandwich for the last five minutes straight." Daichi pointed out.

Jatsuma quickly looked down at his hands; he had plum forgotten he was even holding a sandwich. So he promptly took a bite and turned back to Daichi with a full mouth. "Just uh… savoring the moment!"

Daichi raised an eyebrow but didn't get a chance to say anything more because…

"GOD DAMN IT MAKOTO!" Iikiba ran by with Makoto in hot pursuit. A moment later Makoto jumped into the air and tackled Iikiba to the ground. "AAH!"

"Would you stop making such a fuss and just eat?" Makoto yelled as she sat on Iikiba's back to keep him from escaping.

"No! You're trying to get to take that big horse pill and I'm not taking it!"

Makoto's eye twitched in irritation. "It's just a calcium tablet! And it's chewable! Its cherry flavored! You don't drink nearly enough milk!"

"I get plenty enough calcium!"

"Ice cream and chocolate don't count!" Jatsuma called to them in amusement. Iikiba glared at him and quickly stood up, knocking Makoto off.

"Don't start with me!" He yelled angrily.

Daichi sighed. "Does this really have to be such a big deal? Can't you just appease her and take the stupid pill?"

"Don't tell me you're taking her side too!"

Right then Makoto jumped at Iikiba from behind, shoving the pill in his mouth and clamping her hands over it to keep him from spitting it out. "HA!"

"AAAHHHMMMM!" Iikiba started yelling through Makoto's hands and started running, Makoto still hanging on.

After a few moments of that Makoto felt him swallow and let go. "There! Was that so hard?"

"Yep!" Iikiba spat the already half dissolved pill into his hand and threw it away towards the trees.

"AH!" Makoto yelled.

"Ha ha! You're so stupid! Falling for the oldest trick in the book!" Iikiba laughed at his own cleverness.

Makoto growled and hit Iikiba in the head with her school bag. "You can be such a jerk sometimes!"

Iikiba was about to say something back, but right at that moment several ninja stars flew out of the sky and landed in a semicircle around Iikiba's feet. He jumped back in surprise. "Wha-?"

Jatsuma spewed out his soda when he and the others saw Razor jump from the top of the school down towards them in the schoolyard. "Razor! What are you doing here?" Jatsuma yelled.

She gave him a warning glare but turned to Iikiba instead. "What gives you the right to speak to Makoto that way? Answer me!" She pointed towards him threateningly.

"Uh… do I know you?" Iikiba asked with a confused look on his face.

Makoto stepped between them. "Razor, how many times do I have to tell you? I'm not marrying you!"

"Rather or not I marry you, I can't just stand by and let you be insulted!" Razor insisted.

"That… that's so sweet." Makoto breathed.

"Hey!" Iikiba yelled angrily. "What the heck is going on here?"

Razor stood in a fighting stance. "I take it you're Iikiba? I'm here to fight you for Makoto!"

"You'll do no such thing!" Makoto yelled at him.

"What?" Iikiba asked, still confused. "You want to date Makoto? What kind of weirdo would WANT to do that?"

"Shut up Iikiba!" Makoto grabbed his wrist and started dragging him away across the yard.

"Makoto! Wait!" Razor started to run after them but Jatsuma jumped up and caught her by the arm.

"Hey," He whispered. "I haven't told anyone your stupid secret yet. If you want me to stay quiet then you better leave Makoto alone."

"I can't!" Razor whispered back, glaring. "My first and foremost duty is to the Council. And if you try to open your big mouth I'll just have to make you stay quiet!"

Suddenly, cold shivers ran down their spines. This experience was new to Razor so she jumped back; ready to fight whatever the threat was.

"What are you two talking about?" Yuri asked curiously, standing just behind them in her box carrier. Her fan boys looked at them curiously as well.

"Wha- What is this?" Razor asked shakily, referring the shiver in her spine.

"That's just Yuri." Daichi said as he walked over to them, keeping some distance between himself and Yuri.

"So you're Razor?" Yuri looked the supposed boy up and down. "You don't really look how I thought you would. You're quite skinny." The fan boys nodded in agreement.

"How did you-" Jatsuma stuttered. "Hey, do you have our house bugged or something?"

"It's just a microscopic microphone on Daichi." Yuri explained as though this was totally innocent.

"WHAT? WHERE?" Daichi rapidly started searching himself for the microphone.

"You won't find it that way. It's designed to be nearly invisible on human flesh. It's just a little test anyway." She said.

"A LITTLE TEST?" Daichi yelled. "This is illegal!"

Yuri sighed tragically. "You just take the fun out of everything don't you?"

Razor blinked twice and huffed. "I don't have time for this." She turned and jumped off in the direction Makoto and Iikiba had gone.

"Hey! I told you to leave Makoto alone!" Jatsuma bound after her.

"They're quite energetic, aren't they?" Yuri said as she watched them go.

Daichi glared at her. "Get the microphone off of me!" He demanded.

Yuri looked back at him and shrugged. "I was getting bored of listening to it anyway. You snore like a bloated hippopotamus."

NOT FAR AWAY

"Makoto! Stop running already!" Iikiba yelled as he was pulled along so quickly that he wasn't even touching the ground.

"What? Do you want to get caught?" She snapped.

"He isn't even chasing us!" He yelled back.

"Makoto!" Razor bound towards them, leaping from tree to tree and finally landing on the ground to continue the pursuit.

"Well… maybe he is." Iikiba said.

"Leave me alone!" Makoto yelled back at Razor as she ran, dragging Iikiba along of course. "I'm not going out with you because I'm in love with Iikiba!"

"Do you have to yell that out for everyone to hear?" Iikiba asked grumpily.

"Stop being so difficult!" Makoto yelled at him.

"You're the one who's being difficult!" Iikiba shouted back.

Makoto growled angrily. "Just be quiet for once in your life!"

"Why don't you, stupid?" Iikiba snapped.

THIS is the guy Makoto is in love with? Razor thought as she chased after them. They act more like enemies than a couple.

"Hey! Hold up!" Jatsuma yelled as the others pulled ahead, enthralled in the chase. "Oh screw this! I'll just head them off!" With that Jatsuma jumped up towards a window of the school building.

He burst open the window, causing the students inside to turn and stare. The science teacher, Ms. Meadows, jumped with a start. "TORNADO! DUCK AND COVER YOUR HEAD!" She shouted as she dove under her desk.

"Sorry! Very sorry!" Jatsuma quickly ran across the room and out the door. He opened the door right across the hall and made his way through the fortunately empty classroom to the window. He opened it and jumped out just in time to see Makoto rounding the corner of the school.

Now is as good a time to tell her as any. Jatsuma thought as he landed. "Makoto! Stop for a minute!" He yelled as he landed on the ground.

"What?" Makoto slowed as she neared her brother. Iikiba dragging through the dirt.

Iikiba promptly stood up, glaring. "Sure! Listen when he tells you to stop!"

Razor came around the corner and paused near them. She was about to say something but Makoto cut her off. "Ma-"

"I listen just fine!" Makoto rounded on Iikiba with a fire in her eyes. "You're the one who's not listening! That guy Razor is trying to take me away, you know!"

"Yeah, I got that!" Iikiba snapped. "And he must be the biggest freaking moron on the face of the Earth!"

Makoto's eye twitched. "I might agree with you, if I wasn't already looking at the biggest moron on Earth!"

"WHAT?" Iikiba yelled. "Are you calling me stupid? How could you do that?"

"Gee, that's awfully hypocritical of you!"

"It is not! I showered this morning!"

"ARGH!" Makoto yelled in frustration. "You are so irritating!"

"Uh… guys?" Jatsuma tried to interrupt them.

"Then why don't you just go away and leave me alone for awhile!" Iikiba shouted at Makoto.

Makoto glared at him, and then looked at Razor. "Fine! That's just FINE!" She went over took Razor by the hand. "I guess I can take Razor up on his offer then!"

Jatsuma gasped and his jaw hung open. "What?"

Iikiba looked like he had had the wind knocked out of him, but quickly regained his glare. "Th- tha- … That's FINE with me!"

"GOOD! Because we're going out on a date! ALONE!" She yelled. "I hope that doesn't bother you!"

"Well it DOESN'T!" Iikiba growled.

"Good! Come on Razor!" Makoto started to pull her away. Razor looked utterly confused. She blinked three times before managing to say, "Wha…?"

A few feet away Makoto suddenly stopped walking. She let go of Razor and stomped back towards them. "AFTER school!" She trudged past Iikiba and Jatsuma and into the school.

Slowly a smile developed on Razor's face. "After school then, there's still a chance!" She jumped away looking hopeful and happy.

"Hmph." Iikiba grunted. "She thinks she can get to me but she can't!"

"DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU JUST DID?" Jatsuma grabbed Iikiba by the front of his shirt violently.

Iikiba frowned. "Uh… yes? I just got Makoto off my back!"

"We have to stop them!" Jatsuma shouted.

"Wait… what?" Iikiba stuttered.
