The following weeks Kurama managed to convince the math teacher that Akira was too smart for the book he was on and got him up to his level. Akira was glad to be able to sit with someone he knew and enjoyed his time with Kurama and his friends. For once there was more than just one person who would have anything to do with him. He smiled at the thought as he daydreamed in his history class. But was soon brought back to a haunting memory, both happy and sad. He opened his eyes and sighed at the table. "Why? Why did it have to be like that...?"

"Hmm, Mr. Imonoyama ? Did you say something?"

"Huh? Oh sorry sir, I was just remembering something, im sorry."

"Well since you have the highest grade in the class and usually are quiet, I'll look past it this time."

"Thank you sir." he said meekly and embarrassed at himself for saying it out loud. As he walked to the lunch room that day Kuwabara and Yueske caught up with him.

" So I here you caught a little attention today huh?"he rolled his eyes at the muscle brained idiot.

"sigh yeah, I was just thinking about something." he said quietly looking at his feet.

"About what?"

"Something." he said looking up into the pleading, curious faces of his new friends.

"Ohhh that kind of something."

"Im not sure were on the same subject, but I really don't wanna know." he was still not as comfortable with these two because they were like the people who usually picked on him. But he knew they were friends. He went through line and grabbed his normal little salad and bread and Yueske started laughing at him.

"What? Its probably better than anything else here, at least its not over stuffed with preservative to make you sick."

"Ohhh come on! You always get the same garbage, if your gonna eat school food you gotta have variety! And besides, look at you! Your like I twig with ribs! We gotta get some meat on your bones!" Yueske hucked his salad while Kuwabara grabbed the greasiest and fattest thing they had, deep fried french fries, and a cheese burger. If you picked it up and squeezed it, you could wring out grease like water from a dish rag.

Akira cringed "ohh that's disgusting!"

"I know! Its perfect!" he laughed as they pushed him through the line. As they got to their table the boys sat down the hand picked lunch in front of Akira. Kurama was already there munching happily on noodles.

"What in the hells is that?" He asked at the lump of grease in front of Akira as the other two sat down.

"That's what I'd like to know." he said poking at it with a fork from a distance. Every time more grease running out of it.

"That is Akira's new lunch!"

"Are you trying to kill him?"

"No just trying to put a little weight on him! If he turned sideways on a sewer grate he'd fall in!'

"Yeah, but making him eat that artery clogging lump? He's eaten very little and quiet healthy for a long time, you put that in his stomach his body would go into shock."

"No it wouldn't! Your such a drama queen Kurama."

"Besides, it looks disgusting."

"Tell me about it" Akira said still poking at it.

"Come on just try it!"

"Fine if you stop bugging me." Akira tentatively picked up the heap of grease and took a bite. He choked it down and dropped the mock burger on the plate. He had to use every napkin on the table and then-some to get the grease from his hands.

"Ha! That was initiation bud!"

"Huwah?"

"You are officially one of us! congrats!" yueske said with a laugh.

"You and the other people at this table are the only ones to take a bite of the super grease burger! Everyone here including Kurama have taken and swallowed at least one bit of this burger, so you are officially one of us!" Kuwabara said loud and proud.

"Huh?" Akira just had this confused look on his face.

"They know the lunch lady. They were messing around in the kitchen and came up with it. They tricked me into eating it once when I was really into a book, they switched it with my sandwich and I didn't realize it until it hit the bottom of my stomach." kurama said honestly about his friends. " they only make those things for people they like, which is strange because I wouldn't make my enemy eat one."

Akira just laughed at them quietly and tried desperately to scrape the taste of his tongue.

That day was the first day Akira and kurama would start the switch study thing they had planned, they were going to Akira's place today, and kurama would walk or ride the bus home as soon as it started growing dark. Akira finally felt safe and accepted, but in the back of his mind there was always a thought that this too would not last long.

so you like it? got any ideas? i might need them, im runnin outta steam! ohhh nooooo! well please review!
