Fights
The sun was beginning to set as Satoshi Hiwatari walked out of the school. He sighed and shoved his hands in his pockets, still angry from the day's events.
"Satoshi Hiwatari!" Before the blue-eyed male could blink, he found himself face to face with a young woman. The same young woman he had been protecting earlier. "What the hell were you thinking!"
"Hello, Harada-san," Satoshi said, straightening his posture. "How are you?"
"Don't you even change the subject!" Risa Harada nearly yelled at him. She pointed her finger at him, causing Satoshi to go cross-eyed. "What happened today?"
Uncomfortable, Satoshi shifted his weight from one foot to the other. "... There was a little fight-"
"A little?" Risa asked, not convinced. "Hiwatari, you had detention today!" When Satoshi remained silent, she scowled. "What on earth could you have been fighting about? And what was so insulting as to make YOU, Satoshi Hiwatari, throw the first punch?"
A sickening bulb of hatred burned in his stomach, and Satoshi had to look away. "... He called you a whore, Harada-san."
This left her stumped. "Huh?"
He paused before continuing. Why had he told her? "He was calling you inappropriate names." He sighed. "I promise it won't happen again. I just couldn't let him say those things about you..."
The two students were stuck in a long, awkward silence. Finally, Satoshi cleared his throat, excusing himself and beginning his walk home. He would have to finish his homework and get enough of his police work done so he would not be behind after tomorrow's detention.
"Hey, Hiwatari-kun!" Risa called out to him, then jogged a bit as he waited for her. Stopping by his side, she gave him a small smile. "... Did you win?"
Satoshi could feel the smile tugging at his lips when he shrugged one shoulder and half nodded. "I suppose. The other student received a suspension."
Risa giggled, causing his bad mood to disappear. "My hero."
Satoshi's punishment was another week of detention, and assisting Risa Harada with her homework. Even though he and Risa would end up watching a movie on the couch. However, Satoshi didn't mind the detentions either. If getting into a fist fight at school meant having Risa walk home with him, Satoshi would fight someone every day.
