Prolouge

Hikaru stared sullenly out of the bus window. He hadn't done anything wrong! Stupid Kaga and his stupid ideas! And his stupid mother for overreacting!!

flashback

"Hikaru did what?!"

The principal, Taki-san, had dealt with quite a few irrational parents in his time. This woman was no exception. Neither was the situation. The mother (it was usually them who showed up) - wide eyed, shouting and gesticulating angrily. The child – looking guilty, or defending themselves – as Shindou Hikaru was doing.

He tried to answer Shindou-san's question in the simplest terms he could manage. "Shindou-kun was caught smoking on the roof top. He was with an older student, and they were both in possession of liquor, stink bombs, silly string, and a salty cake."

"Hikaru - !"

"No, mom, I swear, this looks way worse than it actually is! All that stuff was a surprise for Tsutsui's birthday, and that was the first time I have ever tried smoking!"

"Hikaru!" The mother gave an exasperated huff. "What am I supposed to do with you? You suddenly come back with dyed hair – "

"Mo-om! That was a year ago!"

"And then your grades start slipping!"

"They're as bad as they've always been!"

"And now this?!"

"I'm telling you, you're taking it all wrong!"

"Taki-san," Shindou Mitsuko turned tiredly toward the principal. "Are there any programs available for...troubled teens?"

"MOM! What are you - !!"

"Not now, Hikaru!" Mitsuko snapped. "Well, Taki-san?"

"Hmm..." The Principle rifled through some flyers in his drawer. "I have quite a few, and I've heard this one is pretty good, and not too expensive..."

Stupid KAGA! Why had he listened to him? That delinquent was always up to no good, and yet somehow Hikaru had thought he would change just because it had been Tsutsui's birthday?

He sighed. His mother had decided that it would be best if Hikaru was away from bad influences, and so, just a week after summer vacation had started, here he was, on his way to some horse ranch. The flyer his mom had boasted that hard work, and horses, could set any kid straight.

He was going to be stuck there for TWO MONTHS!!

Hikaru let out a groan and banged his head against the window. This was going to be a hell of a summer.

A/N: First of all, what the heck is Hikaru's mothers' name?! I'm pretty sure it starts with an 'm' but...somebody help! (and I got Tsutsui's name right...right...??) And Second of all I hope you liked this! And Third of all, if you do like this PLEASE REVIEW! This was just a random brain fart and I don't know where it's going and reviews would help me continue!! cough anyway...
