Chapter 8: Limits
It had been a rough few weeks, Ikki was finally talking to people again, everyone had calmed down some, but Kazu still wondered whom the new guy at the academy was. It wasn't until Mr. Omaha's 9-week course had begun that Ikki met him.
Ikki had just left his dance class, when Kazu, Kanon and Lind left to go to math, while Ikki headed to Omaha's history. Ikki entered the classroom and took a seat only to receive a slap to the back of the head. "You're in my seat loser?"
"What the hell man?" Ikki stood up ready to confront the guy who insulted and slapped him when he was greeted by an arm pointing past him to the white board.
'Check your name for seating arrangements'
"Like I said dipshit, you're in my seat." The young man whispered
Ikki elbowed the guy in the ribs "Okay so I was in your seat but stop acting like your shit doesn't stink."
"Hey Ikki, you shouldn't treat the riches kid in school like that; Aeon is new and amazing." Orca swooned
Ikki rolled his eyes 'so this is the prick that they were talking about, hmph, I understand now.' Ikki gave a fake smile "whatever you say Orca." He walked up to see where his seat was located. Upon seeing his location Ikki groan, 'fuck I'm so going to hate this class.' He walked up to his and sat down, Ikki looked to his left and met eye to eye with Aeon's piercing blue eyes that scanned him as if to say you are worthless.
Ikki sighed and turned his attention to Mr. Omaha as class began.
Kazu was lounging in the activity center when Ikki plopped down muttering.
Ringo, Lind and Spitfire were busy doing homework when Ikki sat down. "What's with you?" Lind asked not even looking up to see who it was.
"So I met our resident asshole." He huffed
Spitfire sighed, "So you met finally Aeon I take it?"
"Yeah, I have to sit next to that piece of shit for 9-weeks"
Kazu looked at his boyfriend 'damn, this guy is just wreaking havoc on us.' He thought. Kazu leaned over and kissed Ikki on the cheek. Kazu knew it would be a matter of time before Aeon would get under his skin.
Three weeks had passed and life had return to normal, well as close to normal as things could get, save for Ikki looking irritated after Omaha's class.
After school, Lind, Kanon, Spitfire, Kururu, Ringo, Kazu, Mikan and Nue were at the Activity Center working on homework and other projects, when Ikki walked through the door.
"God fucking damn it; you have to be shitting me, of all the people in that class." He muttered to himself as he walked up.
Kanon, who was sitting next to Kazu got up, grabbed a chair and brought it to the table and continued studying, without looking up to see what was going on.
Ikki plopped down next to Kazu; no one looked up but knew exactly who was fuming.
"Babe what's wrong this time…..wait before you begin; get a bottle of water."
Kazu knew Ikki would start up and not stop until he tired himself out or until his mouth went dry, either way he was going to have to comfort his boyfriend at the end.
"Can't" was all Ikki had said
Everyone looked up with a puzzled expression on their face; it had become so routine that this was just beyond out of the ordinary.
"I have to…"
"Hey I thought you said you were getting something to drink. You didn't say anything about socializing; I don't want my grade to suffer because you're a slacker." Interrupted a voice
Spitfire and Nue knew that voice, Mikan saw Spitfire reach for his pocket when she grabbed his hand. Nue's breathing deepened. Ikki sighed and rolled his eyes in disgust.
Kazu looked up and was practically in shock, 'the resemblance is beyond uncanny, and he looks like Sano.'
The two locked eyes, it was as if the taller man stared through him like he didn't exist.
Kazu got up and walked up to Aeon "Last I heard this is still a free country and he has the right to come and go as he pleases."
Aeon hooked his finger ''neath Kazu's chin "My, aren't we trying to be a heroic pretty boy, let me guess you're his faggot boyfriend."
Those words broke the dam, and everyone at the table lunged at Aeon causing an all and out brawl to break out.
Luckily, for Aeon, several students joined in to hold off the group, but not before the group got in a few good jabs and kicks.
Sora, Nike, Rika, and Kirik were in the headmaster's office, while Falco sat with everyone else in the conference room.
"Guys why the hell did you have to fight on campus couldn't wait until you where off campus."
"He deserved it," Lind muttered
"I wouldn't doubt, especially to get Kururu and Mikan riled up, come on guys we'll talk about it at the house." Nike said standing in the door
As they got ready to walk out door, Simca, and the twins walked in to the office with a teacher.
"Hey he deserved it; I slapped him in self defense."
Kirik looked, "Kanon, go with them, I'll bring these three with me."
Everyone sat in the den, Sora told everyone that the headmaster took it easy on them since it was a first time offense one-week suspension.
Nike turned to everyone, "We'll get your homework for you, that way you guys don't fall behind, unfortunately Ikki; you have to complete your history project with the bastard. He also has been suspended for provocation of the fight. He's getting two days"
"Go figure, this happens right before we finish. He'll be the one to turn it in I take." Ikki sighed
"Is there anything you need to give him?" Rika asked
Ikki sneered "yeah, this." Ikki pulled out a typed report and dropped it on the desk "I'm not going to deal with him though."
"I'll do it," Kazu said, 'besides, there's something I want to ask him' he thought to himself
Lind commented, "You're the reason it happened"
Kanon socked Lind, as did Kururu
"Actually Kazu isn't suspended because he didn't attack him, we just thought it best for him to come with us today" Kirik stated
For Kazu, the rest of the week seemed to drag by and it had only been two days. In those two days, he met one of the students who vouched for him and held off his friends. Buccha was on the wrestling team, the two hung out but it wasn't Ikki and crew.
That Wednesday, Aeon was allowed to return to campus.
"I hear your friends have another two days; unfortunate for me I still need the rest of the report Ikki has and was told to go through you."
Kazu nodded and gave him the report, Aeon scanned through it "if I need to make changes to Ikki's part, he'll need to take care of them."
"Don't bother, everything will be going through me if Ikki needs anything…. Sano" Kazu stated
"Fine" Aeon turned on his heels, then looked over his shoulder "Kazuma"
