Kuwabara hadn't spoken much to Urameshi since his rejection from Sakura, but Kuwabara was startled out of his silence when Urameshi showed up covered in bruises. During their break, Kuwabara approached him.

"What happened to you?"

Urameshi glared up at him. "Some punks from another school decided that only people from their school should be able to play at the arcade, so I had to fight them when I went."

Kuwabara was surprised. "Why would they do that?"

"Cause they're idiots," Urameshi snapped.

Kuwabara frowned as he considered this new information. These guys were also bullies. "Are they going back there?"

Urameshi shrugged. "How should I know? I just fought them, I don't hang out with them."

Kuwabara left Urameshi then and went to see his friends. "Hey guys," he said.

"Yeah?" Sawamura answered for the group.

"You guys doing anything today after school?" Kuwabara asked.

"Nope," Okubo said.

"I don't have any plans," Kirishima said.

"Same here," Sawamura put in.

"Good," Kuwabara said. "We're going to the arcade today."
