Kuwabara sat in his room. His mother had been furious when she'd found out that he'd been in another fight, and disrespectful to his teacher on top of it. She'd ordered him to stay in his room and think about what he'd done until his father got home.
Kuwabara knew what he'd done had been against the rules, and he was sorry he'd upset everyone. However, he couldn't bring himself to be sorry for his actions. Hadn't his dad always taught him that his honor as a man was important? And he couldn't let anyone, for any reason, insult his honor?
Finally, he heard his father arrive home from work. Kuwabara's stomach clenched with nervousness. Soon now, Kuwabara would receive his punishment.
It was about ten minutes before Kuwabara's door opened and his dad walked in. Kuwabara immediately stood up, waiting for his father to speak.
"I hear you've been in another fight with that Urameshi kid," his father said, glancing at Kuwabara's various scrapes and bruises. He didn't sound angry, and that gave Kuwabara some hope.
"Yes sir," Kuwabara said.
"Want to tell me what happened?" his dad asked.
"He kept making fun of me for tripping in the race, so I hit him," Kuwabara said. Telling his dad what had happened wasn't the same at all as snitching to Mrs. Tanaka. Kuwabara knew that this dad wouldn't try and get Urameshi in trouble.
"I see," said his dad with a shake of his head. Kuwabara thought he heard his dad mutter something that sounded like, "having a son just like me," but wasn't sure what his dad meant by that and so didn't say anything.
"Kazuma," his dad finally said, "I'm not going to try and stop you from fighting Urameshi. But there are going to be rules."
