Kuwabara was crossing the monkey bars when someone yelled, "Hey, are you Kuwabara?"
He dropped to the ground and found three boys glaring at him. "Yeah. Who are you?"
The ringleader stepped forward. "You beat up my cousin last weekend, when he didn't do anything to you!"
Kuwabara thought back to the boy in the sandbox. "He was picking on a little kid."
"What's that got to do with you?" one of the boys sneered.
"A knight's blade defends the helpless," Kuwabara told him.
"You're no knight," the ringleader snapped. "And I'm gonna teach you that the hard way."
The boys jumped him then. Kuwabara fought back as hard as he could, but there were three of them, and they were all bigger.
"What do you think you're doing to my son?"
The boys scattered at the sound of Mrs. Kuwabara's voice. Kuwabara looked up and his eyes widened. He'd have run too, if all that fury had been directed at him.
Mrs. Kuwabara marched over to the woman the boys cowered behind. "Your boys just attacked my son! I demand that they apologize!"
The woman coolly glanced at Kuwabara, and then looked back at Mrs. Kuwabara. "They were playing a bit rough, but I don't see that there is any need for apologies."
Mrs. Kuwabara' face flushed as red as her hair, before fading back to white. She said something to the woman quiet enough that Kuwabara couldn't hear. The other woman's face paled then. "You wouldn't."
"Try me," Mrs. Kuwabara said.
"Apologize boys," the woman said a few moments later.
The boys reluctantly did so, and even though Kuwabara knew they didn't really mean it, their apologies were as satisfying as the smirk on Mrs. Kuwabara's face.

Sorry about this being a day late; would you believe I forgot yesterday was Tuesday? To make up for it being a day late, you'll get an extra chapter on Friday :)
