Okay! sorry it took so long! this is a little more filler, not terribly exciting, but it is important to the story plot and must be said. i hope you enjoy and review, suggestions may even be taken, if you have a good one! please enjoy! warning though, its a little shorter than the others.

Akira walked up the steps to his apartment as Kurama watched on. "So you'll be all right Akira?"

"Yeah, I'll be fine, thanks for, helping me, I appreciate it."

"No worriers, see you Monday Akira."

"Sure" he said tentatively dreading what Monday might be like. As he reached his door he saw a package for him, when he realized it was his uniform he rolled his eyes and sighed. "Why couldn't you have come sooner..." he scooped up the package and went inside, striped out of the bloody clothes he was wearing and changed into his favorite clothes, nice soft and warm pajama's he got a little while back from one of his only friends. He snuggled down in front of the tv on his couch, turned on a really dull show for background noise and allowed himself to drift off. He allowed himself a smile with a last thought before slept took him. "I can't imagine how much of a girl I'd look like if they saw me now..." And he drifted into a comforting nap.

The next day at school Kurama met up with the rest of his friends in the morning.

"Soo... how's the little trans gender doing" needless to say, kuwabara got a swift kick in the ass by one of them, but the jury's still out on who.

"Akira... is fine, he seems to heal well. He's very quiet and withdrawn though, I think he's had a hard past. "

"so how'd he get so banged up?" Yueske asked mouth full of the burrito he was scarfing on because he got up late.

"Those big bullies who think they're the toughest ever. Apparently they have something against him some how, he wouldn't go int detail."

"We should do something."

"I think we let them alone, for now, and let Akira hang with us," said the always calm Kurama "if he is around us the bullies are less likly to pick on him"

"I don't know, maybe, but the kid's kinda weird." Keiko stomped on Yueske's foot and he let out a yelp.

'I think it's a great idea, he can sit with us at lunch!"

"Then its official, we'll make him one of us!" kuwabara said hoping to make up for his earlier comment.

Akira that same morning, tried on his brand new uniform in his size double zero. "I look like a blue tooth pick..." he said and sighed into the mirror. "At least I have a uniform now." he swung his bag onto his back and winced as it hit an unseen bruise. He walked to school and noticed the few students that saw him whispering to each other. He for some reason, always had exceptional hearing, and knew it, he could hear the students cooing. "He's a guy, I though Akira was a girl," and the occasional "who's that, and yikes!" Akira kept his head down and avoided eye contact at all times, he was glad that he had not seen any of the bullies yet, but it loomed in his mind. He quetly sat through his classes dreading lunch, since that was traditionally the time of the bullies appearance. "What are they gonna do to me today?" not terribly frightened just annoyed and nervous as he gently rubbed a bruise as he entered the lunch room with his lunch and was about to head to the spot in the corner he normally ate at, he heard his name being called.

"Hey! Akira! Sit with us! He looked up and saw the girl he knew was keiko calling him to the table where Kurama and the other's sat.

"uhhh" he said to himself unsure as he pushed his way past the other students who began to look up at him as he passed. "Hi... guys" he said nervously with a smile.

"Its okay, sit with us, if you do, you'll get left alone."

"I don't wanna be a..."

"Don't worry Akira, its okay, you'll be fine."

"If you want me to." he said with a meek smile, he enjoyed eating with them, it was pretty nice being able to sit with some of the more popular students at the school, he didn't talk much but enjoyed listening to the stupid conversation between Kuwabara and Yueske, something about weird dreams they had after eating really spicy food. He looked over in tome to see Kurama shake his head at them and smile.

"So Akira?..." Kurama asked after school "how'd you like that coversation at the lunch table?"

"Interesting..." he replied with a nod and a smile "do they always act like that?"

"Since the day I met them" they smiled and chuckled at them. Akira looked up at the sky, crystal clear and clean. "So, Akira... I saw your grade in our math class, I help the teacher sometimes, you have a perfect score on everything, you could move up to the book I'm on"

"you think? Wait if your on a higher book why are you in that class?"

"I'm a tutor, and I think you could be too, think about it okay?" Akira nodded and they split in they're separate directions home.

sooooo, what you think? did you like it? i hope you did, i'll get back to the more exciting stuff soon, so please review!
