During the first few weeks of school, Urameshi was absent several times. Kuwabara knew it wasn't because Urameshi was sick. He was just skipping school again, and each time Urameshi was absent Kuwabara's resentment grew.
Kuwabara would have loved to skip school. For some reason, none of his teachers this year seemed to like him, and all the stuff he was learning this year seemed more pointless and stupid than ever. But Kuwabara didn't dare try and skip again, because he'd promised his dad he wouldn't, and Kazuma Kuwabara never broke a promise.
But why did Urameshi have to skip school all the freaking time?
After school one day Kuwabara and his friends cornered Urameshi. "Today is the day that I defeat you!" Kuwabara declared.
"Bring it!" Urameshi said.
Once Kuwabara had lost again, and was lying on the ground staring up at the blue sky, he realized something strange. All his frustration, his pent up stress…It was all gone. Sure he'd lost the fight, but he still felt more relaxed than he had before he'd fought Urameshi.
"Yo, Kuwabara, you okay?" Okubo asked while leaning over him.
Kuwabara grinned up at him. "Yeah, I'm okay."
"I think Urameshi might have hit him a little too hard," Sawamura said, eyeing Kuwabara's smile.
"I'm fine, guys," Kuwabara said shoving himself up. A fight with Urameshi had apparently been just what he'd needed.
