Title: Ko-Baka
Warning: contains potentially offensive language.
"A true warrior knows when to fight," Kazuma had said.
Kyo paraphrased it as "Don't kick their asses just 'cause you can."
And he knew he could kick their asses. Master had trained him for years, and he knew he was good.
"Hey, orangey."
"Nice hair, pinky."
"You a natural faggot, or a dye job?"
Kyo almost smiled. He knew now what Master meant. Why waste effort beating up these worthless shits?
"Hey, is your daddy as big a pussy as you?"
Kyo really smiled now. "You know, you should have stuck with just making fun of my hair, asshole."
This story is set back when Kyo was still going to junior high – think of it as taking place right before the flashback when Kyo gets in trouble for fighting in school: this is my idea of how that fight started (after all, in that scene, the teacher does mention that the other boys were just 'making fun of [his] hair.'
This is my answer to Ebony Dagger's drabble challenge of "orange."
The title is (IIRC) the Japanese term for a child who foolishly and openly cherishes his parent.
