ok guys here you go. and before i can update again i need at least 5 reviews for this chapter so review plz.


The rest of the day went by pretty fast. It turns out Takeshi has every class with me. Right now we're all sitting at our lunch table. The boys hadn't come in yet and I bet I know why. Two minutes later and four of the guys walk in with girls following them like lost puppies. But when the girls realized the boys where walking over to us they stomped back to their tables and started pouting. Takeshi wasn't here, along with one other person. Princess; I bet she was trying to get to him just because he pays more attention to me.

"Hey Tora, you okay?" Suki asked. The yellow one sat down and put his arm around her. I think his name was Taiyo. Yeah that's it; well he was earning some dirty looks from the guys at the table across from us. He didn't seem to mind though; in fact he seemed to like the attention.

"Yeah, it looked like you hit your head pretty hard." Miyako said her voice shaking. All though the blue kid, Naozumi offered Miyako some gum to calm her nerves. If he gets caught with that he's going to get in some serious trouble. Trust me I found that out freshman year. And he too was getting cruel looks from the some of the football and basketball team.

Everyone was looking at me. Come one Tora think; say something that they'll believe. "Uh…Yeah." I said probably sounding idiotic.

"Are you sure?" Miyako asked as she started to calm down

"I'm positive" I smiled the continued "besides I just hit my head

"Yeah well you'll have to worry about a lot more than your head if you pull a stunt like that again." Kaoru snarled

I just looked at her with my usual smirk across my face. "Kaoru you would have to catch me first." I knew that would set her off

She just glared at me but nothing else. Usually she would have jumped at a chance to beat me. I bet it was that green guy. He keeps staring at her. Making her blush and all that girly crap. Geez what happened to her; all of a sudden a couple of hot guys come to school and she's this week little girl. I'm going to have to give her a talking to. I think the one green dudes name is something like Shigemi. Oh well I'll check later.

Everyone was talking when I felt someone put their hands over my eyes. Everything went dark and all I could smell was Axe mixed with grapes; and god did it smell so good, in fact I felt completely week.

"Guess who?" I heard the voice whisper in my ear. I also heard my friends giggle and their "Boyfriends" snicker.

"Hmmm…this is a toughie, how about the guy who's about to get his ass kicked if he doesn't get his hands off of me." I replied with a smirk spreading across my face and crossed my arms across my chest.

"Ooooh…tiger's got claws." Takeshi took his hands back and sat next to me.

"Yeah well tigers also got fist that she's not afraid to use, all mighty warrior." I shot back

"You better believe it." He through back at me. For once I was lost for words.

I just sat there looking stupid. Takeshi just started to laugh and sat back in his chair.

"What's so funny?" I snapped at him

He got close to my face, in fact out noses where only inches apart. This seen felt oddly familiar but I couldn't think of why.

"You." He smirked at me than sat back

"So where have you been?" the red head boy asked. I believe he his Akimitsu.

"No were, I just had a minor problem in the hall but that's it." He said closing his eyes to relax. He looked so cute!

"What kind of trouble?" Shigemi asked setting up in his chair, like he was ready for a fight of his own.

"Something about me staying away from tiger over here." he said pointing to me.

Every one's eyes immediately shifted to me. I didn't like them staring at me, usually I would like the attention but this was just making me feel awkward. So I looked back at Takeshi, who now had his feet on the table, his eyes closed, and his arms behind his head.

"Do you know who they were?" I asked not taking my eyes off of him.

"Yeah. It was the captain of the football team, basketball team, track team, cross country team, swim team, baseball team, must I go on?" he asked me opening one of his eyes

"I rather you didn't." I smiled nervously

He chuckled than sat up in his chair. "You're a very wanted girl at this school aren't you?" he asked smiling down at me.

"Well as you can see, as of right now you're a wanted guy." I said gesturing to the girls who were waiting for him to stand up and leave so they could try their luck.

He got in my face again. It was really starting to bug me. I felt like I had done this before, but it wasn't déjà vu, because it seems a little different.

"Don't try to turn this on me, answer my question." He was looking at me with a very serious face that I could tell was taking a lot for him not to smile.

"Fine, okay what if I am." I said crossing my arms

"I just wanted to know." He said putting his hand on my shoulder. "Besides I guess I'm also wanted by the guys, but for a completely different reason, so yeah I guess I am a wanted man."

How is it, one second I could be mad at him, but then he goes and does that and I can't help but smile at him.

I was about to say something back when "TORAAAAA!" A horrifying screech came from the door

"As you can see I'm wanted for many reasons as well." I said looking at nothing in particular.

Princess walked up to me as I was turning around in my seat. "What do you want whorebucks?" I snarled

"I want you to pay for this." She held out a dress, a very ugly dress might I add. It had a big yellow stain on the front. It looked like paint.

"Why would I pay for that….thing." I said wrinkling my nose at it

"Because, it was the most beautiful thing in the world than you had to go and pull some immature prank, and now there's yellow paint all over it." She said pushing it closer to me

"Listen Princess, you hate me, I hate you, and I hate that dress even more, but I would never do that." I said pointing to the paint.

"You're just jealous you could never afford anything so classy."

All right, she's done it now. No one tells me something like that; no one humiliates me or my family.

"Listen Princess-"

"No, you listen. I don't care how poor you are, you're going to pay for this dress."

I almost umped at her but Kaoru got in my way. "Princess she's not paying for the damn thing, she didn't do it, and she's not poor."

"Really, last time I check, her family could barely pay their house rent." Princess glared at me. "Maybe Tora's mommy died on purpose; maybe she died so she didn't have to live in shame from being poor."

I can't believe she just said that. How dare she bring up my mom and say she died on purpose. My mom was beautiful and smart not ignorant and stupid. She didn't care how much money we had, she said so her-self and that I should be proud of what I had.

Kaoru just looked at me with sympathy swimming in her lime green eyes. I couldn't handle it anymore, all the staring and comments. I felt my eyes water, and I felt streams of tears start to flow down my cheeks. I tried to hide them the best I could but it didn't last long. I felt my legs buckle and I hit the ground. There were gasps coming from the whole cafeteria. Miyako ran over to me and hugged me but I wouldn't let her. I got up and ran out, I felt like I could run forever, princess had no right what so ever to bring up my mom. My mom died a hero, she died brave and full of love, she died has my hero and someone I would always look up to. Someone my father would always be heartbroken over, someone my two oldest brothers would never speak about, and someone my little brother would never know.
