A/N: Thank you to kittyb78, Red-Smartiez, and Yuukiyanagi (at time of writing) for the reviews!!

It seems as if the drama in Naima's life is never ending. So will she be expelled from college?...


I sat very nervously in Myoga-Sama's office, awating both his and my elder sister's arrival. Usually, I wouldn't be afraid to see the Dean of Students, but Myoga-Sama held my entire future in his hands at this point. I knew that once Myoga-Sama and Li came into the office, things were going to get really ugly for me.

When I heard the door open, I had to fight the urge to jump out of the window behind the desk in Myoga-Sama's second story office. The flea demon walked over to his mahogany wood desk and sat down in his big leather chair. Li sat in a black chair that was beside me, in front of the desk. Myoga-Sama had a very stern look upon his face and after a quick glance at my sister, I could tell that she wasn't too pleased either. "Naima. Li-San. I think it is now evident why you two are sitting in front of me at the moment," Myoga-Sama began. I swallowed hard.

"Yes, Sir," I quickly said.

"Your secretary only gave me small details," Li replied, drumming her claws on her pregnant belly. So she didn't know everything yet. Greeaaaat. So I'll have to see her wrath first hand. "Please inform me of the situation," she continued. I gripped tightly on the sides of my chair, palms beginning to sweat. No Li. You don't want to know the truth. Knowing things is so overrated -.-'.

"Li-San. Today at the track meet against Jewel University, Naima got into a physical altercation with another female student. The student had to be taken to a nearby hospital in order to get stitches for the wounds that she receieved from the fight. Here at Yokai University, we have zero-tolerance for fighting and considering how badly beaten the other student was, I have no choice but to remove Naima from the track team and terminate her status as a student at this institution." I sighed deeply and hung my head.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute," Li began, "a few months back Sesshoumaru and Naraku got into a fight as well, but they were never kicked off of the football team or thrown out of college. So why is Naima's punishment so harsh?"

"Well you see Li-San, the difference is that Naima not only hit another student, but she also hit Coach Takemaru as well." I refused to look at Li when he told her the whole story, but I could feel those intense red eyes of hers boring holes into me. I could also feel her demonic aura rise as well.

"Oh really?" she growled.

"Yes ma'am. As you can see I have no choice but to expel her."

"Please Myoga-Sama," I begged, tears beginning to form in my eyes, "I didn't mean to hit Coach Takemaru. Honest. I was just really mad and I...I guess I just lost control. I'm really, really, really sorry. Please don't kick me out. Please."

"Why are you begging? You know damn well what you did was wrong," Li hissed at me, "I can't believe you."

"Your sister is right Naima. I'm sorry, but my hands are tied."

"Please Myoga-Sama. I'll do anything. Community service, tutoring, anything you ask me to. Please don't throw me out. I'm sorry and I promise to never use violence again. Please." Myoga-Sama tapped his pen on his desk and glared at me with an extremely stern look.

"Why should I give you a second chance. Do you think that you deserve special treatment solely because you're an athlete? The incident between Naraku and Sesshoumaru might have been under my radar, but I refuse to let something like that happen again. Do you know how bad it looks to have a student hit a staff member and send another student to the hospital?" I sniffed and wiped a few tears away.

"I'm sorry. I honestly didn't mean to hit Coach Takemaru."

"Did you mean to injure Tsubaki that badly?" Damn! A trick question. To be honest, I didn't regret injuring Tsubaki to the point of needing stiches. If anybody deserved it, it was her. But I didn't want to get expelled from school. So I forced myself to find some level of sympathy for her, so I could tell this lie and look sincere.

"No Sir. I didn't mean to hurt her that badly," I said, hoping that he wouldn't see through me. He narrowed his eyes at me and rubbed his chin.

"Give me a moment and let me check your record," he declared. As he began typing on his computer, Li turned to me and gave me the coldest look anyone had ever given me. Even Tsubaki's looks weren't that cold. I could tell that she was seriously pissed at me. "Well, Naima, its beneficial to you that your permanent record isn't that flawed. It says that you only served in-school suspension once in eleventh grade for skipping agility training. No violence of any sort is on your record. It is also to your advantage that your grades are impressive as well. A's and B's throughout high school with a 3.91 GPA and you graduated with honors." I felt a little gleam of hope as he told me about my good history. He sighed deeply as he turned from the computer to look at me. "Still, there are some mistakes that can't be forgiven and you need to learn that young lady. But at the same time, you can only learn from those mistakes." I sniffed and stared at him with expectant eyes. He sighed again. "You are suspended from the track team for the rest of your college career. You are also suspended from your classes and the campus tomorrow. I'll let you know my decision as to whether or not you get to remain a student after Spring Break. But until the week after next, you are suspended from the campus and all campus activities, do I make myself clear?"

"Y-yes Sir," I replied, nodding my head.

"Alright then. Meet me back here first thing in the morning the Monday when we come back from Spring Break. I'll make my decision then."

"Y-yes Sir." He then turned to my sister.

"Thank you for your time Li-San," he said, sticking out his hand. Li smiled as she shook it.

"Thank you Myoga-Sama."


The whole car ride back to our home in southern Brooklyn was very silent. The only sound to be heard was from the radio. Li was usually never this silent before. I knew that she was mad, but whenever she has been mad in the past, she let whoever she was angry at have it. But today, she was freakishly quiet. She was almost like Sesshoumaru when he was angry with somebody.

About thirty minutes later, we pulled into the driveway of the house. It was about six thirty and Tarei was out in the front yard playing ball with Hikaru. When she saw me, her face instantly lit up. "Naima!" she squealed as both she and my nephew ran over to me.

"Hi guys," I quietly said, giving them both hugs.

"What are you doing here?" Tarei asked with questioning golden eyes. I attempted to answer my little sister, but Li cut me off.

"Naima. I want to speak to you in private," she said in a stern voice. I swallowed hard. There was the classic Li anger. I was totally done for now. Maybe she would be easier on me since she was pregnant. I could only hope. Tarei gave me another questioning look.

"What did you do?" she asked. I just shook my head and walked pass my sister, ignoring her question. When I got into the house, I saw Li sitting on the couch with my future brother-in-law, Katsu.

"Sit down," Li firmly ordered me after I closed the door. I quickly obeyed and sat on the sofa beside the one they were sitting on. "All I want to know," Li began, "is what in the hell were you thinking when you fought that girl?! What went on in that brain of yours that would make you do something so stupid?!" I sighed deeply, knowing that my sister's anger was still as strong as ever.

"I-It's complicated Li," i said, not wanting to tell her the real reason behind my fight.

"Oh hell no. You're not getting off that easily. You better tell me the reason why you might get kicked out of school and it better be a damn good one at that!"

"Li, calm down sweetie," Katsu begged as he held the fumed demon's hand, "you'll upset Lelia. Anyways, I'm sure that Naima had just cause to fight. She's not one to lose her temper so easily."

"It better be a just cause or I swear that I'll break my foot off in her behind," Li continued her rant, ignoring her fiance's plea.

"I fought because of personal reasons that I'd prefer to keep personal," I simply said, still trying to avoid telling her the truth.

"Oh no, that 'personal reasons' crap won't work either, mami. You might as well tell me the truth now, because if I find out on the street, my anger will be far worse." I sighed deeply realizing that I was caught.

"Y-you know when...when Naraku left all those years ago?"

"Yeah."

"Well...Tsubaki was the reason behind him leaving." She gave me a confused look.

"What are you talking about girl?"

"Tsubaki put a spell on Naraku and I so we would break up. I found that out a little over a week ago. So today when I saw her, I became really angry about it, so I beat her ass." After I finished my explaination, Li's expression didn't soften any. Not that I expected it to. Li still had a grudge against Naraku for walking out on me those years ago.

"So you mean to tell me that you are threatened with expulsion because of some damn boy? Naraku no less?" I slowly nodded my head. "How stupid Naima! You threw your future away over some guy who walked out on you almost six years ago?!"

"He didn't mean to hurt me Li."

"That's not the point mami! The point is, is that you are at risk of being kicked out of college all because you were fighting over some man! And anyways, why are you fighting over a man when you already have one?!" I swallowed hard, knowing that my next answer would piss her off more.

"Well...Sesshoumaru and I aren't together anymore." She widened her eyes at me.

"What? Why not?"

"...B-Because...I...kissed Naraku." I closed my eyes tightly after spilling the truth, knowing that Li would be on a roll now. Sure enough, she let out a defiant laugh.

"Ohhhhhh ma. You seriously messed up, you know that right? Why would you kiss Naraku knowing damn well that you had Sesshoumaru right there beside you? Did you lose your mind somewhere?"

"I know. I know. I made a mistake."

"What are you doing at that college Naima?! You are supposed to be going to school for your education, not screwing around and cheating on your boyfriend!" Her accusation of my promiscuity offended me.

"I didn't sleep with anyone other than Sesshoumaru!" I snapped back, "and even if I did I don't see how that's any of your business!"

"Um excuse me, but are you trying to catch attitude with me?! You must think you're grown or something!"

"I am grown!"

"Then act like it! Being an adult isn't just about alcohol, partying, and sex. You have to take responsibility for your actions and you haven't been doing that!"

"What do you know about any of this Li?! You don't know what's been going on! You don't know the hell I've been through this past week!"

"Oh spare me! Everybody has problems Naima! Its life! Get over it!" I was crying now for my sister had really pissed me off at this point.

"Why are you being such a bitch about all of this?!"

"Because I love you, stupid! I'm supposed to protect you! That's why I'm being so hard on you right now!" Her last statement silenced my anger. Her anger was also silenced as well. We both stared at each other, panting very hard. "Look...mami," Li began in a much calmer voice, "...when dad got into that accident that day...when he was on his hospital bed, on the brink of death...Daddy made me promise him that I would look after you and Tarei if he didn't make it. I made a promise to dad that I would protect you two if he were to die and intent on keeping my promise. Things won't always go smoothly in life Naima. If anybody should know about that, we should. Daddy didn't raise his daughters to be punks and you know that's the truth. I never expected to become a mother to you and Tarei at twenty years old, but I didn't cry about it because I knew that that was the responsibility I had since I was the oldest. I'm not going to say that it was easy or I that I didn't sometimes resent that I was forced into such a position, but I went on and did it because I knew that you two needed me and I had to be strong for you. And it was then when I realized that that was why Daddy was so tough on me growing up. He wanted me to be a strong, good woman when I matured and that's why I treat you and Tarei the same way. You both are two beautiful, smart nineteen and sixteen year old young ladies. But you both also need to be strong and make wise decisions. And fighting at school is not a wise decision, Naima."

"I know. I know."

"When you are faced with troubles in life, you need to be strong, but you also need to think about things first. You are too damn smart to be in a situation like this. You have worked to damn hard to be put into this situation where everything you've strived for is snatched away. And for what? Because of men."

"It sounds bad when you put it that way love," Katsu said, trying to defend his gender. Li smiled a little and patted his thigh.

"Whatever it is that has you acting so wrecklessly like this, you better get a grip on it and fast. Before I have to knock you out, and don't think I won't. I am Rashid's eldest daughter. I won't hesitate to go to jail." I laughed a little upon hearing her quote our late father.

"Alright."

"I want you to stay home over Spring Break so we can clear that chaotic brain of yours a little. We'll talk about this love triangle you've seem to have found yourself in. I'll try not to be too bias about it, because you know that I like Sesshoumaru better and I honestly think that you need to get a can of Raid."

"Li!"

"I'm sorry. I'll try to be nice about this."

"Whatever! Naima needs a flea collar for that mutt she's trying to bring into our family," I heard Tarei's voice suddenly say. I looked up to see that she and Hiakaru had now come back inside. I rolled my eyes at both of my sisters. They get on my last nerves sometimes, but I'd be nothing without them.
