"Kiryu," Asato hissed harshly at the young boy who refused to look at him. Ice blue eyes slanted before repeating Zero's surname.

"What?" Zero choked out, clearly intimidated.

"Surely you know that starting a brawl is immature." The blond remarked.

The silverette whipped his head towards the blond, though lilac eyes still refused to meet blue. "There was a perfectly good reason!"

Asato eyed Zero's swollen face and the bruises that lined his arms before raising an eyebrow, "And that is?"

"They called you a pedophile," Zero mumbled so softly that Asato had to strain his ears to hear.

There was a short silence before the blond sighed and motioned Zero to sit next to him. "Ridiculous," Asato finally muttered.

"How-" Zero glared, and the older male gave him a stern look, interrupting the younger boy.

"There are more diplomatic ways to handle that sort of situation," Asato told him, ignoring the snort that Zero gave him, "Act your age."

"Whatever," Zero mumbled, glaring at the carpet floor, obviously upset that the blond vampire was lecturing him about defending him.

"Thank you," the older male told him softly once he was done wrapping the silverette in bandages, "Just take care in not doing it again."

Zero smiled, "No promises."

A/N: This is a rant fiction –laughs wryly-. I don't get why the hell you teenagers start fights for- what the hell are you guys thinking? Do you seriously think that ganging up on someone, kicking them, punching them, and anything else- can be remotely satisfying? Is it? If it is, you guys are sick people and I refuse to know how you will end up as an adult. I know that not all teenagers do this- but to the ones that do, it's very sad. I mean, my gosh, how old are you guys? There are things called "options" and beating the heck out of someone is not your only option. We are humans, different from the rest of the animal kingdom in the fact that we have minds and are capableof talking things out rather than resorting to violence. I think that we should make use of that fact.

(I'm sorry for this rant and the reason why I'm talking about it now is because the other day I saw a group of teenagers in the park ganging up on a girl. This wasn't just a cat fight- there were boys beating up this girl too- and I am pissed. I couldn't do anything because I was in my apartment- but it was a short fight and they separated soon after.)
