Alfred and Matthew decided to sit outside for lunch and plan their next move. Arthur had gone to the Disciplinary Council Office for a meeting and they couldn't follow him in there- not with so many sorcerers about. They wanted to keep their presence on a need to know basis only.
Alfred however managed to screw up that plan.
"So, you two are the new competition?" asked a cheerful Spanish boy with tanned skin, wavy brown locks and olive green eyes. The two boys who where with him earlier- Ivan and the albino stood a little ways behind, eyeing them warily.
"Oui." replied Matthew hesitantly, trying to keep his polite façade. If they thought they weren't competition, they'd back down.
"What's it to you?" snorted Alfred and Matthew inwardly groaned. Alfr4ed always had to be the Alpha male and start something. Arthur wont be pleased.
"Oh, nothing really pup, just thought I'd check out the other competitors but it turns out there aren't any. Just some stupid mutts that don't know their place." replied Antonio cheerfully. The two began to circle each other, exchanging glares and snarls before Alfred finally snapped, he launched himself at him growling but Antonio just stepped out the way laughing airily.
"Ooh the pup thinks he's an alpha dog! Scary" chuckled Antonio and Alfred threw a punch, causing Antonio snarled, shoving Alfred backwards. Alfred shoved him back indignantly and Antonio growled ferociously, shoving Alfred to the floor and started tearing into the young blonde, the students that had gathered to watch, egging them on.
Matthew exhaled loudly, Alfred had really done it this time.

This was it. Kiku took a deep breath and faced Arthur... God he was so handsome. Elegant face, petite form and emerald eyes that pierced your soul. He had never met anyone like him before, he knew they were young- especially for witches and they were from warring clans but he just couldn't help himself! Arthur had been so kind to him when he moved to England from Japan, he made his life so much easier and he slowly fell hopelessly in love the blonde Brit.
"So, Kiku what was it you wanted to talk about?" Asked Arthur curiously, shoving his books into his locker. God, he couldn't wait to get to the library- the club meeting had been so stressful.
This was it. Kiku's big moment.
"W-well Asa-San, I was wondering if you would-" Kiku started only to be cut off by his step brother who came barrelling down the hallway screaming Arthur's name. No way, he wouldn't let Leon ruin this for him, he always ruined everything! It was bad enough he was Arthur's shadow back at the Academy- it had been his won fault for suggesting he be sent to England for his studies. After all, every witch had to spend at least five years training at one of the numerous top secret facilities...
Leon had the advantage here; the ball was permanently in his court.
"Arthur! Arthur come quickly! Antonio and the new boy are fighting!" yelled Leon, eagerly awaiting Arthur's dominant side to come out, it was what attracted him to Arthur initially but now he adored the Brit in every sense of the word. It didn't matter he was younger or that he wasn't as smart; he was a Wang and Wang's always get what they want.
"Stupid wankers, as if I'd let them get away with fighting on the school grounds!" Hissed Arthur, immediately leaving Kiku and storming towards the front yard. Kiku sighed and Leon gave him a triumphant smirk before following after the blonde.

"What the bloody hell is going on here!" roared Arthur, shoving past
"Honestly! Why can't you three just stop with your ridiculous bullying! I'm taking Alfred to the nurse and if I catch you three again I'm the one you'll have to deal with. Remember what happened last time. When I beat all three of you for attacking Dylan?" snapped Arthur, causing all three of them to freeze and turn as white as a sheet. He turned, beckoning to Matthew and Leon to follow as he pulled Alfred to the infirmary keeping an iron clad grip on the Familiar's tanned arm.

"Ow, ow OW!" Alfred hissed as Arthur bandaged his arm and pressed an icepack to his black eye. Arthur watched him thoughtfully, searching for any other obvious injuries.
"Its your fault for starting something!" scolded Matthew, watching his master admiringly.
"Sorry about those three, I should keep them on a tighter leash." grimaced Arthur and Leon grinned wildly, like he knew something Arthur didn't.
"Well as soon as you mentioned what happened with Dylan- you should've seen their faces!" cackled the Chinese boy. He hated those three bastards- they had always been bullies. He just never realised they were familiars.
"What happened?" asked Matthew curiously. This was the perfect opportunity to learn more about his adorable new Master.
"Arthur beat the shit out of them! He was so awesome!" beamed Leon and Arthur just looked bashful.
"Woah dude that's awesome!" cheered Alfred, gaining a new-found respect for his Master but he should have recognised the bloodlust in Arthur's dangerous gaze.
"It's no big deal. They were bullying Dylan." Arthur mumbled, looking embarrassed by the compliments. Matthew narrowed his eyes, apparently his Master was very modest... He'd have to change that.
"Who's Dylan?" frowned Matthew, worried it was his boyfriend.
"Arthur's twin, he's living with Arthur's oldest brother Alistair, God knows where. They video chat every night and-"
"That's enough Leon." said Arthur firmly but quietly.
"Aww you really miss him huh?" cooed Leon and Arthur gave him a miserable smile.
"Yeah, yeah I do." Arthur replied with a far away expression on his face, leading Matthew to believe there was much more to his master than meet the eye.
