Ian was on his guard. His quadreceps and pivot were ripped for fighting. Ever since Ian first set foot
in the Hinata House he had a lot of anger pinned up-mostly from Rina, Yui, Ichiro, Daisuke-all those
times he was riled up by the house residents he wanted to punch them in the face.

Foxy's father started the first punch. His first hit was an elbow jab towards Ian's face, but Ian stopped
him by squeezing his armpit between the father's elbow. His axilla felt crushed by his elbow jab. Ian used his one-shot moment to hit Foxy's father in the face.

Ian punched him a little too hard. Foxy's father was trying to hold the blood where Ian punched his philtrum. The father rubbed the nape of his neck. Foxy's father jabbed his fist towards his neck. Luckily Ian punched his right fist on the right side of the fathers' fist pushing it away.

" Not bad, kid," Foxy and Sankarea's father said in a happy gesture. " You really know how to beat someone up."

" I've been doing it for years. It's the only thing that helps me feel better about myself."

" Why would you need to feel better about yourself? Your still young. Take it from me. The last thing you want is two children who don't want to spend any time with you and a wife who's busy cheating on you with every other guy. I'm rich; I'm miserable. So do yourself a favor. Don't get in this miserable old bastards way. Stay away from my daughters."

" Never!"

Ian ran up to Foxy's father and punched his torso. Foxy's father punched them away. With one quick jab he punched Ian in the face.
This time he punched Ian in his Nares and Ala-the nostril, the external opening to the mouth, and the flaring cartilaginous expansion
forming the outer side of each of the nares.

This time Ian felt the pain. As hard as his punch was it was not as strong as Rina and Yui's punches. But he bombarded him with a fury of punches.
With every punch a different part of him was hit-deltoid muscle, branchialls, pectoralis, biceps, and tendons-over and over he was sworted by the iron
fists of Foxy's father muscle mass.

Ian reached one more punch to his stomach. The force of his knuckles crushed Ian's ribs. Ian could still move and breath, but it felt like a sword was struck
inside his heart. Ian fell on the ground. Foxy's father stood over Ian and raised his fist's over his head. Ian rolled out of the way as the father punched the ground.

" Good thing he didn't crush my head. I had to cram a lot of info in there."

Ian stood back on his feet. Foxy's father cracked his knuckles as he scoffed at Ian. Ian and the father both circled around each other. Ian raised his right fist up preparing to punch
the father, but he stopped Ian by raising his

" Before we continue, I have a question for you. What's your dream. After this what do you plan to do. Your a kid. And kids are full of ideas. I'm interested in what kind of ideas you have."

" I don't really have that kinds of ideas. I don't know what I'm going to do when I grow up. But there is one thing I'd like to do. Just like my parents I want to get into Tokyo U.
Nobody thinks I can do it since Tokyo U is one of the hardest universities to get into in the world, but I feel as though it's my legacy, it's my whole being, that if I can accomplish
one great thing in life I can accomplish another great thing. I'm sorry, it's not like a mobster like you could understand.

" Actually..."

Flashback:

High school party. A place where newly graduated students were gathered to celebrate their accomplishments. One of them was a meek, shy teenager. Other people were dancing while he just stood
still and drank his gin in the cup. The student didn't know what to do. He wanted to talk to someone, but he didn't know how to approach them. That was until someone approached him.
Her hair was lavender with a small ponytail and bobby pins in her bangs. She was a C-cup. She had a collar around her neck with a small bell. Her cleavage was shown from her sports bra.
Her skirt was red-green striped. Her eyes were lavender as well as her eyebrows being busy like a cat's tail.

" Hi," the girl said to the teenager.

" Hi," the boy said shyly to the girl.

" It sure is loud in here. And god, the band here really sucks. Want to talk outside?"

" S-Sure, I guess."

" Great."

###

The wind was blowing outside. Both teenagers found it hard to keep their hair from blowing away. The male teenager walked next to the girl with his hands in his pockets while she walked beside him
with a happy smile on her face. The boy decided it would be best to wait until the area was completely deserted.

" W-What's your name?" The boy asked. " Are you going to tell me your name?"

" Nope. What's the fun in that? It's not like we're going to see each other again so let's not ruin it. Let's just use a fake name that way we don't have to worry about anything.
I think I like the name Princess Bubblegum. So what's your name?"

" I don't know. I don't really want to change the name my mother gave me."

" Come on. Your a man, aren't you. Men lie. There must be some fake name."

" I guess it would have to be U-Uchisa."

" Uchisa? Why Uchisa?"

" I don't know. I just kinda like that name. Uchisa."

Bubble Gum and Uchisa reached a bridge. Beneath the small bridge there was a river and surrounding the bridge were hundreds of large cherry blossom trees.
Uchisa couldn't help but want to look at the river. There was a crescent moon out tonight. Uchisa, Bubble Gum, both teenagers stared at the stream.

" What do you plan to do after highschool?" Uchisa asked.

" Well, I guess I would want to get into college, graduate, get a job, all those sorts of things. What about you, Uchisa? What do you want to do?"

" I also want to go to college. There's one college in particular I want to go to. It's called Tokyo U. It's a prestigious college that's hard to get into.
But I want to be the one who can get into that college."

" Why? What's so special about that college? Why don't you try another college. One that's not so hard to get into?"

" Because my five year older friend went to that college. He told me how great it was to be a student there."

" Then why don't you just call your friend. Tell him what the answers are to the tests."

" I can't do that."

" Why not?"

" Because my friend died two years ago. Leukemia. It struck him hard. There was nothing they could do to save him."

" I'm sorry. I guess he was a good man."

" I guess. I'm the only one who knew him. He was a neet who never liked to leave his room. Everyone thought he was selfish. But he had more heart in one capillary then
other people had in their whole hearts. You might even say I miss the poor boy."

" So you want to get into this college to follow in his footsteps?"

" Yes."

A strong wind blew through the trees. The cherry blossoms blew out of the branches and blew around Uchisa and Bubble Gum. There was something about those cherry blossoms
that pulled Bubble Gum and Uchisa closer. Uchisa remembered how Bubble Gum told him that tonight may be the only time they could be together. There was only one thing Uchisa wanted
to do.

" Bubblegum, I need to tell you something."

" What is it you want to tell me-"

Uchisa kissed Bubble Gum. The cherry blossoms were still blowing around them. The effects of cherry blossoms around a kissing couple was titulating. It was the best moment in Uchisa's life.
But one day he would have to face reality.

Flashback End:

It was the final moment between Ian and Foxy's father. Ian punched his right fist in his left hand as the father punched his left fist in his right hand. Ian closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
The face of all the house residents-Daisuke, Kimza, Rina, Yui, Foxy, Chazona, Kaeda, Ichigo-it felt like every one of the residents were giving him power. Ian and the father ran at each other at the same
time. Their fighting ended in a flash.

Both Ian and the father were standing up. One of them was going to fall. It seemed like Ian was going to be the one to fall. His legs collasped. Foxy's father smiled thinking he'd won. But a quick, painful
feeling suddenly went through his stomach as he collasped on the ground. Ian was victorious. His victory lasted him ten seconds, and then he collasped with Foxy's father. Ian and Foxy's father both couldn't move
their legs.

" What a drag," Ian said. " I feel so..."

Ian lost consciousness. He snored gently in his sleep. Two shadows appeared. One was the shadow of Kaeda and the other was a shadow of Shik. Kaeda frantically rubbed Ian's back trying to wake him up.

" Ian. IAN! Oh god, Ian, wake up!"

" Relax, young one," Shik said. " Your friend is still alive. He's just a little tired. Guess you fought more than you bargained for, eh, boss."

" Yes, I guess I did. Hahahahah!" Shik helped his boss to his feet. One thing Kaeda noticed was how his right eyes was black. It was black where Ian punched him. The boss smiled. " That was one hell of a
fight. I don't know why but you kinda remind me of a young me. Back when I was foolish in youth. Since you gave me such a workout, I'll cancel the debt between your loser friend Ichigo and me. But be warned.
I'll want to fight you again. So you better be on your guard. Farewell, Ian Urashima."

" Ian!"

" Ian!"

" Ian!"

" Ian!"

" Ian!"

###

" Ian. Ian."

" What?"

" Wake up, sleepy head. Everyone downstairs is worried about you."

" W-Who are you?"

" What, you can't remember a beautiful face like mine. It shouldn't be hard since you've been living with it for
over fifteen years."

" Mom..."
