Later that same day Gero had just finished the promise (or blackmail) of teaching the kids at the dojo some karate.
Picking up his bag by the door and securely locking the place Gero saw the how it was the late afternoon.

Gero wiped his brow with an arm. "Today was awesome. I taught all my students with flying colors. Some of them even told me I was the best teacher they've ever had." He exclaimed breathing in that fresh air he gave a smile.

A thought soon popped in his head. "I never thought I would say this but without Akagi's help I would never have taught those students so well." He mulled over her strict teaching. "When I see her I should give her a hug."

###

Back at the Kou estate Akagi was busy dusting the living room before she felt a disturbance in the force. Eyes narrowing, she only knew one person who could do that. "I don't know what Gero said but I'm going to kill him!"
She went back to her work.

###

Gero felt a cold shiver. "Nah, she'll just kick me until I can't get high again if I did that."

He started back for the Kou mansion until he saw something that caught his eye. It was a bunch of unruly students wearing leather jackets and pants.

'Aren't those guys are from Qukakino High School?' He peered at them closely and confirmed his suspicions. 'There the Skull Head Big Boy's; their known for causing lots of trouble in various places; from towns, arcades, and they even went so far as burning a rival gangs building down.'

The Skull Head Big Boys had a notorious rep that everyone in town only whispered about.

'Good thing it was an abandoned building and no members were inside or someone could have been killed.' Gero finished his monologue in his head and about to go before he saw Erina's brother with them. 'Tamura; what is he doing walking with that gang? Doesn't he know they are a dangerous group?'

Staring at the spectacle at hand the amber eyed teen got close and could actually start hearing what was being said.

'Oh my older women; he's one of the members.' He exclaimed in shock!

A grubby guy, who looked around his mid-twenties with an ugly mug and shades, spoke to Tamura. "Yo Tamura, I'm running out of cigs. Care to give me some of yours?"

Tamura looked hesitant which the man soon saw and growled a little. "What's this? You haven't even tried one of them? What are you, some pansy?"

The athletic teen looked mildly offended but didn't speak up about it. He needed to keep the peace.

"I'm saving them for when we own all of Japan, Keataru." Tamura easily responded keeping face.

A scoff escaped the leader's mouth, named Keataru. "I hope it's soon because those cigs are the best ones in town."

Gero continued not to be seen given there was a bunch of people in the park but he couldn't hide any longer! This was Taichi's soon to be brother-in-law. If Tamura got in shit it would somehow find a way to blow up in everyone's faces and Taichi would go back to being a cry baby!

'I'm not letting all my hard work go down the tubes!' He raged starting to go up to them.

The big bad gang didn't seem to notice except for Tamura who soon saw Gero approaching and felt like the world would end at that very moment!

'What the hell is he doing here?!' Tamura rambled in his head. 'Aww crap, I'm so dead!'

Gero called out his name. "Tamura!"

All the members of the gang stared at Gero like he was a lost puppy and to Tamura.

"You have a lot of explaining to do. What are you doing in this gang; don't you know most of the guys here are a bunch of losers who think they are better than everyone? I want you to stop what you're doing because it's hurting your sister."

After that got said the leader and his bunch of scrubs stared laughing a little before something clicked in their meat heads that they got served with an insult! They stared threateningly at Gero who didn't back down but there were more of them and he was only one guy!

'Great I screwed the pooch on this. There's only one thing to do….'

A moment later he started running in the other direction with the the gang go ran after him like wildebeests on a hunt!.
They didn't get far as Tamura took responsibility. "None of you touch Gero! He's my friend!" He yelled with all his might but that only stopped them briefly as the leader turned to Tamura. Gero stopped as well and looked ready to continue running.

"Sorry Tamura. They only listen to the one with the highest rank. I'm the leader and you are only the sub-leader, my first member and my second in command."

The purple eyed continued trying to reason with the head leader. "Keataru, tell them to leave Gero alone."

Keataru shook his head. "I can't do that either. If I want to be a leader I need to have respect from all my members otherwise they'll turn against me. If they want to fight your friend so be it."

Tamura's eyes widen as he saw the truth of the matter. 'Keataru is lying; why won't he stop them?!' "Gero continue running!" Tamura yelled to his friend which Gero did!

After a couple of seconds running around the park, which mysteriously got empty when the chase started Gero couldn't continue running like some pansy! As he stopped some random thug was about to bulldozer him to the ground!

That is until the thug got close to him, Gero grabbed the man's arm and did an over toss. A loud thump could be heard as the face hit the pavement hard!

Some of the gang members appeared spooked by how Gero, someone a little bit shorter than the rest of them did their pal like that.

Gero didn't say anything as he cracked his knuckles. "Fuck y'all; I might not be able to beat you all but I'll make damn sure I take some of you to the hospital."

With that Gero charged at the large group. Sprinting toward the first one he saw Gero jabbed a straight fist which collided the gang bastard's stomach! Holding said area the male went to his knees until Gero gave a swift kick to the face knocking him down. Seeing this happen two skull heads tried double teaming Gero by going for a rush tackle! Watching their movements closely Gero evaded to the left and tripped one of them up which ended up one falling head first to the ground.

The second one didn't fall for the tactic and soon came rushing back at Gero. Swinging a leg Gero linked to the thugs face! Some gawked at Gero actually holding his own which annoyed Keataru yelled at his crew!

"What do you think y'all are doing? Attack him as a team!" Keataru commanded and the group snapped too and attacked.

The silver haired teen did his best dodging while trying to punch some in the kidney or trip them up but proved futile now they were either punching back or going for shove tackles which did end up hitting Gero.

Grunting at another tackle Gero pulled his skate board from the bag he carried and used that to his advantage. While riding he got in punches and the like and kept his balance on it while avoiding them.

Jumping over two thugs and getting behind them, the skater brought up the board to his hands and aimed two well strikes in their backs dropping them like a bag of potatoes. Gero didn't stop there as he got in the thick of the group and wailed on them with punches and kicks. Even though he was experiencing an adrenaline rush Gero was getting tired and would make a mistake in the fight at hand.

Elbowing one in the gut Gero grabbed a fallen bat that someone dropped and began hitting a couple more in the stomachs!

'Tch, all that stuff from Akagi is coming in handy!' Gero thought as he punched another in the eye and soon kicking one in the nudes!

Tamura, who still tried to convince Keataru to stop this couldn't help but be amazed by Gero. Even though he considered Gero a friend the purple eyed teen also knew he could be goofy.
