At long last, I have returned! Yes it is me and here is another chapter of one of your favorite stories!!


"Arghhhh." Moaned an exhausted Akira.

"Hey you're the one who knew we had homework to do, Mr. "Sex now homework later." Kurama teased.

"I didn't think you weren't gonna let me sleep though..."

"Akira, we have a high standard to live up to, this had to be perfect." Kurama finished, reviewing the nights work and peering out the window as the sun came up. It had been quite the night, he found out about a very deeply hidden 'wild' side to his lover. He peered over at the groggy boy who's head was slumped dozily against his hand. "Heheheh, a little sleepy are we?" Akira only stared back at him through the tiny slit left in his eyelid that was open.

"Errrr shut up Kurama." he mumbled halfheartedly throwing an eraser at him, that didn't come close to hitting him in the least.

"Aww poor Akira..." Kurama grinned then placed a delicate kiss on Akira's forehead.

Akira replied with a purr like sound before nodding off completely in his hand.

"Maybe I should have let him sleep?" he wondered before slowly moving his boy love to rest more comfortably on the couch. "We both need some rest." setting an alarm he had nearby he leaned back on the couch next to Akira and drifted off himself. All too soon the alarm went off and the boys had to be off to school. Not bothering to take a shower and still in the clothes the put back on the night prior, they up and left in a hurry. To Akira going to school now was, surreal, it almost felt phoney to sit in class and allow some teacher to tell you whats what about everything. It felt as if it didn't matter.

"Akira you've missed class the last few days, is everything all right?"

"Oh? Yes ma'am everything is fine."

"Well okay, but keep your grades up, we don't want you slipping in the ranks." commented one of his teachers. This too seemed weird. Talking about homework and standings. He sighed and told himself this is how life was probably going to stay, and he'd better get used to it. Taking his seat he rocked uncomfortably back and forth in his seat, after all, he was still sore.

He was eager for the day to end, he really wanted to go home and sleep to make up for the lack of sleep he had. He cursed himself for not doing the work they should have and involving themselves in, other activities.

Lunch hadn't come soon enough when the bell later rang. He walked sluggishly down the hall to the cafeteria. Lazily taking his seat at the usual table. The gang gathered around the table talking about some random piece of nothing that happened in class earlier.

"Hey Akira!" Keiko said cheerfully. "What's up? You look exhausted."

"Oh hey Keiko, yeah long night."

"Oh right, you had that project with Kurama, how'd that go?" Akira swallowed and paused before he answered.

"It went pretty well, it took longer than we thought it would though." He finished hoping he covered his tracks.

"How you feeling Akira?" Kurama asked, coming in last.

" I'm feeling fine Kurama, I'm just tired. Will you guys stop asking how I'm doing?"

"Sheesh Akira, we're just wondering." Kuwabara muttered.

"Maybe you guys should take another day off before you go back to Zeta."

"Yueske! Don't talk about that now!"

"It's not like anyone knows who Zeta is Kuwabara."

"Well okay."

"He's right, we should take another day off. I guess it tired us out more than I thought."

"Don't we need to train though?"

"Yes but everyone needs a break every once and a while. You've been training hard, and have gotten farther than you think. Just let it sink in for a while."

"Kurama's right, besides you'd be useless in training if you couldn't keep your eyes open."

Akira sighed, he was right, he'd just have to rest, as in, actually rest and get his strength back. He was still annoyed that he couldn't quite get the hang of the archangels powers. Plus there was the little matter of getting Yueske and Kuwabara back for the prank they pulled.

Too soon was lunch over. Class was so dull after what he'd gotten used to. He smiled though at the thought of what it was like at the beginning of the year. He was shy and terrified, teased relentlessly or completely ignored. Friendless and abused. Though he was still shy, he was no longer insistently picked on, or abused by others. He no longer felt like less of a person.

They walked from the school and squinted as the sun blared in their face's. The gang had decided that they were going to walk to a new restaurant down the street. Akira and Kurama held back behind the group walking close to each other quietly as Keiko, Kuwabara, and Yueske kept up some other conversation. It seemed to be about flowers of some kind… but the love birds weren't listening. However it wasn't all just quiet following. Akira was planning his "revenge" on the boys but so far his plans just didn't seem to make enough sense. He was burning a hole in their backs with his eyes thinking, when they suddenly turned around and announced that they were there.

"Hwuh? Oh yeah, sorry I was thinking. What's this place serve?"

"Its called Luigi's… what do you think its gonna serve? Pancakes?"

"Oh uh sorry."

"You sure your alright? You seem to be a little off today?"

"It's okay Keiko, he's fine just tired."

"If you say so Kurama." Keiko paused before turning around and going inside.

"Hey love, what were you thinking so intensely about? What to do with those two?"

"Hehehe yeah, I just wanna scare them like they did to us."

"The best way to scare those two is through school."

"Yeah, to them nothings more terrifying then a pencil."

"Are you two coming?" Yueske yelled insistently.

"Oh chill, we're coming!" The two sat down with the other three. And ordered their meal.

"Spaghetti? How over played is that?"

"Shut up Yueske I like spaghetti!"

"But that's so boring! Its barley Italian anymore!"
"I don't care I like it!"

"Weirdo" Akira rolled his eyes at Yueske's last comment. Before "inadvertently" flicking vegetables at him off his plate. "Oh really little man, you wanna play it that way?"

Yueske said getting ready to flick stuff back.

"Don't you dare! Yueske your gonna get us kicked out of another restaurant!" Keiko complained.

"But he started it!"

"Well I'm ending it! Now be quiet and behave!" Kurama chuckled under his breath. After the near food fight the rest of their meal was rather uneventful. They headed towards home, said their goodnights and Kurama and Akira left.

"Should we tell Zeta?"

"No, she probably wont mind. But no sex tonight, sleep, we need to sleep."

"Okay, but I'm not sleeping alone."

"I would never make you."

"Good, cause then I'd have to hurt you!"

"Hurt me? Dream on little man."

"What you don't think I can hurt you?"

"Maybe a little bit." Kurama chuckled then leaned over and gently nipped Akira's ear as the walked up to the house."

"Well okay, but I get to chose what side!"

"Sure, my bed is yours."


Alrighty! remember to reveiw, and I'll try to get another chapter sooner!
