Days at Genm High
Chapter 3
"BANG! That delinquent is coming!"
"It's time to clear this game without ever pressing continue!" The pink Haired Warrior pulled out a White, Pink and Green Color Hammer with Two buttons, he began to hit Salty with it.
Just as the warrior was about to deal the finishing blow, a large energy shot hits him, blowing him back and a meter on his chest beeps and drops to zero. As he fades into pixels, he sees the person who shot him, The man, was Hanaya Taiga
As the pink warrior's soul ascends to the great Kouta in the sky, he sees his 3 companions congratulating Taiga.
"Wow you're cool Bro! Play with me!" said Parad in great excitement.
"Ey you're not bad kid, wanna be my new best friend?" Kiriya pointed a finger gun at him.
"Guys! I'm right here!" Emu cried out as he ascended closer to the heavens, but no one heard him.
Asuna blushed. "Taiga….you were so cool when you beat that monster. I was wondering if….you'd go out with me." She looked at him deeply in love.
Taiga removes his gashat and closes the driver, reverting him back to his civilian clothing. He grinned at Asuna and leaned to her face.
"Wait no Asuna! Don't do it no! GUYS I'M UP HERE PLEASE LOOK!" As Emu cried out to them Taiga's lips moved closer and closer to her's. "NOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Emu sat up wide awake, sweating from his nightmare. He looked around and realized he is in a different area. He was on a hospital bed behind a curtain in the nurse's office. Parad was sleeping on a chair by his side.
A woman in black and stockings opened curtains and smiled at Emu. "Greetings I'm the school nurse, Medic. You've had quite a faint today."
Emu couldn't help but feel comforted by her smile. But then his smile faded away. He remembered what he had to do later today…..a fight with Taiga.
Medic gestured something to come here behind her. "Come on you two he's alright."
Soon Asuna and Kiriya appeared behind her, both had a very worried face. "Emu, are you alright? You had a pretty bad faint."
Asuna asked worryingly.
"Yeah. You looked so pale I thought you were gonna puke. And if you did don't do it on me." Asuna elbowed him a bit. "Ow."
"Anyways we carried you to the nurse. You've out for an hour. It's nearly the end of the day." Asuna explained.
"Oh…" Emu sighed but then realized what that meant.
"...I'm gonna have to fight Taiga after school…"
Kiriya rubbed the back of his head. "Yeah….looks like we didn't have to remind you."
Emu places his head onto his hands, he didn't know what to do now. He was going to fight Taiga, a guy who was so much tougher than him.
"Emu? Are you alright?" Asuna put her hand on his shoulder.
Emu blushed lightly at the sight of Asuna touching his shoulder, "y-yeah I'm fine…"
Asuna moved closer to emu, checking his forehead, "You sure? I mean you fainted earlier, so I got worried."
Emu blushed even harder now. He tried to find the right words to try and comfort her. "It's….alright Asuna, I'm feeling better now that you guys are here."
Asuna smiled,"Thank you Emu." Her face soon shifted into a worried face again. "What are we gonna do with…..Taiga though?"
"Well...Parad said he had it covered...but I don't trust that guy...he's...off to say the least…" Kiriya commented.
Emu soon immersed himself into his thoughts once more, what exactly will he do? Taiga was tough and Parad seemed to have a plan of his own. To him this felt like it was gonna end badly either way.
"...I feel like we should come up with a plan of our own…" Emu told the two, still deep in his thoughts..
"Well...what exactly can we do?" Kiriya asked, sitting on a chair backwards.
"Hmmm...couldn't we ask the principal to stop this?" Asuna asked, pondering on why they haven't done so sooner.
"Um have you seen the principal this morning? Dude sent a student to be a janitor because he called him a weeb. What do you think might happen to Emu here if we told him he was gonna be in a fight?" Kiriya told her.
"Hmmm…" Asuna imagined Emu chained up in a jail cell, making her slightly scared...and just a tiny bit aroused in the back of her mind, "...I see your point…"
"Maybe…..I should try…..talking this out with Taiga…" Emu blurted out, making Kiriya stare at him with a look of disbelief.
"Dude I think you hit your head harder than I thought l. You want to talk it out….with Taiga." Kiriya commented on this idea.
"Guys….look I'm not the bravest….nor the strongest guy around...so I really don't want to fight Taiga…" Emu admitted. He knew this was only way he could actually do anything.
"Uhh, Emu, I know you're not the greatest at fighting from what I know of you but...you DO know who Taiga is right?" Kiriya asked, making a concerned stare at Emu.
"He's right Emu, Taiga is a delinquent who was held back a year after an incident. He's been a bully to everyone ever since, even teachers are scared of him." Asuna began to explain, and with that Emu's eyes shortened as a chill fell down his spine.
"W-well, he's never hurt a-anyone...right?" Emu frighteningly asked.
Kiriya said something while coughing into his fist, "Cough 5 people cough."
Emu, hearing that cough, only became more frightened, "F-F-F-F-FIVE PEOPLE?!"
Asuna elbowed Kiriya in the gut cause he made Emu worry even more "Kiriya!"
Kiriya looked at Asuna, "What? The number isn't that bad! The most they got was a few scuffs and bloody noses."
By this point Emu's face would be completely white because he didn't like the idea of blood rushing from his nose. But he he looked relatively fine. "I guess it's not all that bad…" Asuna thought about it.
"But seriously…..is talking to Taiga really the way to go? To stop the fight?" Emu asked, once he regained his senses.
"Ummmmm...if you can get him to listen…" Kiriya Answered. "If it doesn't turn out well….I'll be sure to drag you out of there myself." He then said quietly to himself, "Hopefully before Taiga knocks you out unconscious…."
Emu took a huge gulp and nodded, "Thanks Kiriya…"
Asuna looked at the clock. "Guys….it's nearly time…."
Emu sighed and got up, "Well...here goes nothing…" He marched to the door.
Asuna and Kiriya followed suit, Asuna took a med kit along with them. "I'm borrowing this just in case." She told Medic as they exited out the door.
"Alright then, good luck." Medic bowed and walked back to her seat.
Emu walked over to the back of the school, where Taiga was waiting for him, he was standing in a caged area, where students were looking at them from all corners, anticipating this fight, some of them with a big smile on their face, the entire atmosphere of the area made it hard to breathe for Emu.
"This is bad….this is really bad..." Emu thought, as he entered the caged area.
"Good luck man…" Kiriya leaned on a wall and watched the event that will take place.
Asuna held the the med kit in hand and looked very worried for Emu. "Where on Earth did they get the metal cage?" Asuna asked hoping for an answer.
One of the students turned to Asuna, "Oh, well this is actually a place where Taiga bribed the principal to allow him to beat people up in. Just as so long no one mentions this, or else they end up like the Kusaka kid…"
Asuna gulped "This school's principal sure is something…." She soon focused on the fight, praying that Emu turns up okay.
Emu walked up to Taiga, taking a deep breath on the way, "Alright, Taiga, before we fight, there's something I want to ask you-"
Before Emu could Finish, Taiga interrupted him, "If you want to grab a weapon there's plenty in the back, pick one of your choosing."
"W-W-W-Weapon?" Emu slowly turned his head around to see a small weapon rack.
"Yeah, something to defend yourself with, I'll be fighting bare handed though." Taiga Explained.
Emu hesitated to pick a weapon, he felt it was slightly unfair that Taiga would be fighting barehanded. But he did need something to protect him just in case.
He picked up a small pink hammer, it seemed like it could do some damage but it didn't seem deadly, at most it could give Taiga a black eye.
"So, you ready?" Taiga prepared a fighting stance.
Emu looked at Taiga and then took a deep breath,"Well...actually Taiga...I need to ask you something."
Taiga simply sighed, "What is it now?"
"Could we...call off the fight?" Emu asked.
The crowd fell silent from Emu's request. , as they all stared at Emu in a mix of confusion, disappointment and anger.
Taiga simply stared at Emu and uttered the following words, "...What?"
Emu remained nervous but focused, "Look….I apologize for ruining your lunch it was my entirely fault. I didn't want to fight you at all, can we settle this matter by talking it out?"
Taiga smiled and moved over to Emu, "Sure-" And then he punched Emu right across the face.
And with that punch, the crowd roared into excitement. Emu was knocked down to the floor, rubbing his punched face. "W-W-W-Wait a minute!" Taiga then kicked him in the stomach, causing him to roll across the arena's floor.
The crowd gasped, oohed and ahhed and winced as Emu continued to get beaten down by Taiga.
Emu attempted to try and escape the arena ...only to find it was locked. "Guys! Guys!" Emu called out for Poppy and Kiriya. They rushed over to his plees.
On the door they see a small lock on it, preventing the fighters from escaping, "WE GOTTA GET THIS LOCK OFF!" Kiriya yelled.
Taiga pulled Emu by the collar and threw him into the caged wall, "Hey, don't even think about running away."
Asuna looked around for a way to open it, "WHERE'S THE KEY?" Asuna yelled too.
Kiriya looked around, then he had a stroke of genius. He grabbed the med kit Asuna was holding and busted it against the lock. He hit it against the lock multiple times and finally, the lock broke.
"Ta-da!" Kiriya pulled the the med kit in Asuna 's view, but she just pulled the door wide open, "LET"S FIRST GET IN AND SAVE EMU-" Suddenly a blur moves past the two and into the caged area.
Asuna and Kiriya looked confused as the blur moved past them, "H-huh?" Asuna said, looking around for the blur.
A student, looked to be a second year was both handsome and tough looking. His hair was messed up in a stylish way. On his left arm was a leather arm guard, walked into the arena and looked at both Emu and Taiga, "Oh look...it's the drop out beating up another, helpless kid…typical."
A smaller kid appeared behind him, it was Parad. "Emu! I'm here bro! I brought the help I talked about!" He indicated to the second year student. dent in front of him.
Emu stared at the student, a bit intimidated by him, "W-W-What's his name?" He asked.
"His name is Pencil I think?" Parad said blanking on his new friend's name.
The student simply sighed and looked at Parad, "My name is Graphite…"
"That sounds...really stupid." Parad replied with gleeful smile.
Graphite stood there, silent and stared at Parad, "...it's a family name…" He then loosened his tie and tossed it aside. "It's been awhile since we last brawled Taiga…."
Taiga tossed Emu aside and focused his attention on Graphite. He cracked his knuckles and grinned "I hate seeing that smug face of yours….let me just wipe the floor with it."
Graphite and Taiga rushed at each other, the thrill of battle in their eyes and they exchanged blows.
Using this newfound distraction, Parad grabs Emu and attempts to run away with him, "Come on bro we gotta go!"
Emu still badly hurt limped as Parad pulled him away. "Wait Parad….not so fast….ow...my everything…."
"Look man, it's better then you get a few more injuries from running away then getting a lot of injuries from Taiga!" Parad responded.
Asuna and Kiriya helped Parad pull Emu out of the arena. Asuna took out the majority of the contents in the med kit and using them to help the injured Emu, all while the students around them are booing.
Kiriya yelled at the students, "Ladies and gentlemen! We're sad to announce that this kid ain't fit enough to continue, but hey we got Graphite now! It'll be one hell of a brawl between the Taiga the Tiger and Graphite, the Dragon Warrior!"
Because of Kiriya's announcement, the crowd soon shifted their main focus on the two brawlers, Taiga and Graphite, leaving the others to take care of Emu.
Taiga and Graphite exchanged blow for blow in a bare knuckle fight. "Give it up Taiga….I've always been the better student and fighter!" Graphite exclaimed, attempting to distract Taiga so he can hit him in the chest.
Taiga blocked the hit by putting his two arms together and counters with a powerful right hook to Graphite's face. "Shut up….you took everything from me you bastard…"
Graphite simply sighed, "No no Taiga, what happened that day, was nothing more your own fault."
With those words, Taiga became enraged, as if some kind of fuse set him off, he charged at Graphite and threw rapid punches in blind anger.
Graphite simply dodged them then grabbed one of Taiga's fist, pulling him in and kneeing him in the gut.
"And your letting your emotions get the best of you, just like before." Graphite shook his head in disappointment.
As Taiga and Graphite fought, Kiriya, Asuna and Parad finally patched up Emu, but at the time he was slowly losing consciousness.
"Bro stay with us! You can't go to the great fruit God in the sky! Bro!" Parad shook him as he tried to wake Emu back up.
"Parad wait it's not working!" Asuna grabbed his shoulder and stopped his shaking of Emu. "You'll make things worse if you shake him like that."
Kiriya looked around to see if there was something of use. He then bent down and placed his ear on Emu's chest and made a small little smirk. "Guys I don't hear Emu's heart beating….."
Asuna and Parad looked at Kiriya with faces of horror. "EHHHHHHHHHHH?!"
Kiriya crossed his arms. "Don't worry I've been studying stuff like this case of emergencies." And mostly for the chance to do it on a girl to save her life. "Someone needs to perform CPR on him. I can guide one of you to the process. I'm not doing cause well I just met the guy so giving him mouth to mouth seems a bit iffy to me."
Parad looked at Asuna. "Hey I love my bro but not enough to kiss him on his mouth."
"CPR is not kissin- you know what nevermind I'll do it. Kiriya just tell me what to do."
Kiriya began to explain, "Alright first you put both of your hands on his chest and continuously push him, if that doesn't work, then you kiss him!" He smirked.
Asuna rolled her eyes, "Got it."
Asuna began to push Emu's chest repeatedly, but to no avail.
"Welp, looks like there's no other choice, you gotta kiss him." Kiriya concluded, making asuna blush.
This isn't a first kiss right? This is just to save Emu's life and that's all. It's not a first kiss it's not a first kiss. She repeated the phrase several times in her head.
Asuna lowered her head near emu, moving her lips to his ever so gently, until they collided, becoming a kiss and allowing asuna to blow some air into him.
"I told ya that CPR meant kissing!" Parad pointed out.
After several chest pumps and mouth to mouths, Asuna placed her head to Emu's chest. When she did she heard his heart beating once more. "I did it! Emu's heart is beating again!"
Parad pointed at her. "And you kissed my bro! You actually like him!" He began to laugh uncontrollably and ended up on his back still laughing.
"No I didn't kiss him!" Asuna blushed until her face was as red as a tomato. "I was giving him mouth to mouth to save his life!"
"More like lips to lips!" Parad held his sides from too much laughter but he couldn't stop.
"Shut up! Kiriya Parad don't tell anyone about this please! Not even Emu!" Asuna pleaded to them.
Kiriya gave her a thumbs up. "You can trust me, I won't tell anyone this." And I won't tell that Emu was breathing this whole time. Those two lovebirds needed a little push to get this started. He smiled by this thought.
"Now, let's get Emu to the nurses office!" Asuna commanded.
The two nod and carry emu to the nurses office. Meanwhile at the arena, Taiga and Graphite were still going at it. Both were battered and bruised, but both of them stood their ground.
The crowd continued roared in excitement, waiting for one of them to finish the other off.
"Had...enough yet?" Taiga asked Graphite, whilst panting.
"Not at all…" Graphite smiled.
"Then let's do it...one last blow to finish each other off!" Taiga Roared.
Graphite's smile grew larger, "I like the sound of that!" The two prepared a stance and ran at each other, attempting to punch each other in the face!
The crowd roared in anticipation, dying to see who would win.
When Graphite and Taiga were close enough together, they lunged their fists at each other as fast as they could, making both of them get punched in the face and knock out.
The crowd suddenly lost all of their when they realized it was a tie. "Awwwwwwww!"
Everyone in the stands soon got up and walked out of the arena, with a mix of satisfaction and dissatisfaction coming out of them.
"You saw how they changed blows like that? That was awesome!" One student told another.
"But that end was so anticlimactic! It ended in a tie, that's boring!" The other person exclaimed his complaint.
Meanwhile back in the ring, both Taiga and Graphite lay on the ground staring at ceiling. Graphite smiled a little "Heh just like old times eh dropout?"
Taiga spat out a little bit of blood as he sat up. "I still hate you goddamn face…..but it sure felt good to punch you face again."
Taiga crawled out of the ring with an angry look on his face, all while Graphite watched him.
"And even now...he's still acting like an idiot…" Graphite sighed and layed back down on the ground.
At the entrance of the arena, two figures stand there. "Graphite!" A woman voice called out.
Graphite turned his head to see who called him "Oh no…." The two figures at the entrance were none other then Hiiro and Saki. Both waiting for Graphite.
How could you do this to me life? Graphite thought, closing his eyes and laying back on the ground ready for the scolding he was about to get.
