It was later in the day at school and classes were just beginning to wrap up for the day Natsuki looked around the classroom and his eyes focused on Yuma who was looking down at her notebook writing the notes that were on the board into it Natsuki smiled "I still can't believe that's Yu-chan" Natsuki said to himself he remembered how Yuma looked when she was younger her hair wasn't as long as it was now and she was always shorter then him but now she was about half his height and she looked like a women now more then anything at that moment Yuma turned her head and saw that Natsuki was looking at her when he saw her look at him Natsuki smiled and gave a small wave Yuma smiled and waved back and she went back to copying notes. Natsuki looked down at his desk he chuckled to himself he still couldn't get over the fact he had a girlfriend now it still hadn't clicked in his mind yet Natsuki felt a throbbing in his head "Agh.." he groaned holding his head he was starting to feal the effect of Toru's blows to the head "My head is killing me.." he groaned again "I gotta remember not to get Toru mad again" he smiled and then he remembered that he had detention after school ended "Agh..what a time to have a headache" Natsuki groaned as his head throbbed again.

Sukiko-sensei had turned around from the board and saw Natsuki's pained expression on his face "Natsuki-kun are you okay?" Sukiko-sensei asked "I just have a nasty headache sensei" Natsuki said "Oh, then do you want to go to the nurse?" Sukiko-sensei asked "I guess.." Natsuki said "Hm..school will be over soon do you really want to go now?" Sukiko-sensei asked Natsuki nodded he needed to get rid of his pounding headache "Well okay, you may go" Sukiko-sensei said "Thank you sensei" Natsuki said then a thought popped into Sukiko-sensei's head "Oh yes, you might not know where the nurses office is" Sukiko-sensei said "Your right I don't" Natsuki said "Okay then anyone want to show Natsuki-kun the way to the nurse?" Sukiko-sensei asked none of the students weren't in a rush to say yes. Sukiko-sensei looked around the room then she saw a hand shoot up and she stopped on it to her surprise it was Yuma "Yuma-chan?" Sukiko-sensei said "I'll take him sensei" Yuma said "Are you sure?" Sukiko-sensei asked Yuma looked over at Natsuki "I'm okay with it" he smiled Yuma smiled and looked at Sukiko-sensei and nodded "Well then Yuma-chan please show Natsuki-kun to the nurses office" Sukiko-sensei said Yuma nodded and looked at Natsuki "Fallow me Nat-kun" Yuma said "Okay" Natsuki said and Yuma walked out from her row as did Natsuki and he fallowed behind her.

The two of them made their way down the hall "You didn't have to do this you know" Natsuki said "But I wanted to" Yuma said looking back at Natsuki "Besides none of the others were going to do it" Yuma said "They still must hate me after what I did this morning" Natsuki said it still wasn't know to others that Natsuki and Yuma were now a couple Natsuki frowned at that moment he felt Yuma's hand slip into his "Yu-chan" he said looking up at her his face lighting up "You want to know the other reason why I choose to do this?" Yuma asked "Sure why?" Natsuki asked with a smile "So I could have sometime with you alone" Yuma smiled Natsuki's face flushed red "Oh, I see" he said in that split second his head throbbed in pain and he pulled his hand out from Yuma's and held his head "Agh..this head of mine.." Natsuki groaned Yuma stopped and Natsuki bumped into her back.

"Yu-chan?" Natsuki said "What's wrong?" he asked Yuma tunred around and put her face into his chest "I'm sorry" she said "What? What do you need to be sorry for Yu-chan?" Natsuki asked "It's my fault you got so beat up" Yuma said "What do you mean?" Natsuki sked "Toru and Mizuki were two boys that confessed their feelings for me" Yuma said "They were" Natsuki said "Yeah, but because I remembered our promise to each other I rejected both of them" Yuma said "When I told them why I couldn't accept their feelings they understood and they became good friends to me" she said "So the reason the messed with me was" Natsuki said "Yeah, they must have heard about what happened this morning and they.." Yuma paused Natsuki smiled and placed his hand on Yuma's head "You don't have to be sorry for that Yu-chan" Natsuki said "I was a jerk to you and they were looking out for you" he said "But you said that was because you blocked out some memories" Yuma said looking up at him "But they didn't know that" Natsuki said "You've got some good friends Yu-chan" Natsuki said "I do don't I" Yuma said "If it weren't for them you wouldn't have remembered our promise" Yuma smiled.

Natsuki smiled "Your right, I'll have alot of time later to get to thank them" he said "Oh yeah..You got detention later today with them" Yuma said "I hope Mizuki-kun isn't still sour about you hitting him in the face" Yuma said "I hope so too" Natsuki said with a sigh his head throbbed and his face twinged in pain "Lets get you to the nurses office" Yuma smiled "That would be great" Natsuki grinned Yuma took his hand and they walked down the hallway to the nursed office when they arrived Yuma brought Natsuki inside the nurse was at her desk "Yes, how can I help you?" the nurse asked looking at Natsuki and Yuma "I have a splitting headache right now sensei" Natsuki said "How bad is it?" the nurse asked "After getting into a fight and getting three blows to the head?" Natsuki said the nurse chuckled "That bad eh?" she said "You must be the boy that got into a fight at lunchtime" the nurse said "Yeah that's me" Natsuki said "I was expecting you after the other two walked in" the nurse said "Toru-kun and Mizuki-kun came too?" Yuma said "Yeah, I gave them some pain killers and sent them on their way" the nurse said.

"Come over here I'll get you settled in a bit" the nurse said gesturing to Natsuki "Yes sensei" Natsuki said and he walked over to the nurse "Just sit on the chair right there" she said pointing to a rolling chair Natsuki nodded and sat down "You can wait outside miss" the nurse said looking at Yuma "Oh, yes sensei" Yuma said and she walked out the nurses office closing the door behind her and stood outside "Now, lets get you fixed up" the nurse said looking at Natsuki "Please this hedache is killing me" Natsuki said as his head throbbed in pain again "Okay" the nurse said and she walked over to the medicine cabinent and opened it "Is anywhere's else hurting?" the nurse asked looking back at Natsuki "Not really it's just my head" he answered "So, what's your name kid?" the nurse asked "I'm Natsuki Suichiro" Natsuki answered "Su..Suichiro.." the nurse said sounding like she knew the name "Uhm..you wouldn't happen to be related to Shuji Suichiro would you?" the nurse asked Natsuki felt his body crawl when he heard the nurse say his fathers name it made his head hurt like hell "He..he's my father" Natsuki said "Your Shuji's son?" the nurse said looking at him with a shocked look on her face "Yeah..but I wish I wasn't" Natsuki said then a thought came to his mind "How do you know my father name anyway?" Natsuki asked "Well, I went to school with you father here" the nurse said "He and I were friends back in the day" the nurse said "He never mentioned me before?" the nurse asked "No..If he did I probably forgot since I blocked out any memory with my father" Natsuki said the nurse sighed "What did he do this time?" the nurse asked "What?" Natsuki asked "What did Shuji do to make his own kid hate him so much?" the nurse asked "He left my mother for a younger co-worker" Natsuki said.

The nurse sighed loudly and long "That bastard he had a good thing going and he blows it like that" the nurse groaned "I knew it was to good to be true" she said "Uhm..who are you by the way?" Natsuki asked "Oh silly me!" the nurse said "My names Aya Yukata" the nurse said Natsuki felt something click in his head "I think my father did say something about you" Natsuki said "He did? What did he say?" Aya-sensei asked "He told me about a scary girl that made his life hell" Natsuki Aya-sensei growled "He did, did he" Aya-sensei said a hint of anger in her eyes "Uhm..What was your relationship with my-" Natsuki stopped himself he couldn't call the man his father "What was your relationship with Shuji?" Natsuki asked "Geez, you hate him so much you want call him your father?" Aya-sensei asked "He hurt my mother I can never forgive him" Natsuki said.

"I see, anway my relationship with Shuji" Aya-sensei said "You could say we were childhood freinds" Aya-sensei said "You and Shuji?" Natsuki said "Yep, can't believe I'm treating his kid" Aya-sensei said "You look just like him when he was your age" Aya-sensei said Natsuki bit his lip "I don't like being told I look like him" Natsuki said with an angry look in his eye "Man he really fucked up this time" Aya-sensei said "Was he always.." Natsuki started "Was he always a skirt chaser?" Aya-sensei asked. Natsuki nodded "Yeah, he'd go from girl after girl he never stuck with one for long" Aya-sensei said "That bastard.." Natsuki growled "Seems like he didn't change" Aya-sensei said Natsuki said nothing the angry look he had eariler turned to a sad one Aya-sensei sighed seeing the sad look on Natsuki's face "Sorry about bringing up the past" Aya-sensei said Natsuki said nothing "Let me get you fixed up" Aya-sensei said and she went back to rummiging through the medicne cabinent "Here we go" she said taking hold of a bottle and taking it out she walked over to Natsuki "Hold out your hand" Aya-sensei said Natsuki did as he was told "These will help with your hedache and any other pains that you may have" she said unscrewing the cap and shuffling two painkiller tablets into his hand "Thanks" Natsuki said "Don't take the just yet" Aya-sensei said and she went put the bottle back and closed the cabinent and walked over to the sink and poured some water in a cup and she walked back over to Natsuki "Here drink some water after you swallow each one" Aya-sensei said Natsuki nodded taking the cup of water from Aya-sensei he then put one of the painkiller in his mouth he swallowed it and then after drank a bit of water he then did the same with the second one.

"Now, it may take a while for them to kick in" Aya-sensei said taking his water cup from him poured the water down the sink and threw the cup away "Got it, thanks Aya-sensei" Natsuki said getting up from the chair "Natsuki-kun?" Aya-sensei said "Yes Aya-sensei?" Natsuki said "If you want someone to talk to you can always come to me" Aya-sensei smiled Natsuki then remeber Yuma "Don't worry I already have someone I can talk to" Natsuki smiled "Oh, I see" Aya-sensei smiled Natsuki bowed his head in thanks and walked out the door and Yuma was standing against the wall when she heard the door open and saw Natsuki step out she came off the wall.

"All done?" Yuma asked smiling at him "Yeah, but she said the pain killers would take a while to kick in" Natsuki said "Oh, well in the meantime" Yuma smiled and she made sign for Natsuki to arch down she then placed a kiss on his forehead she took a step back after doing so "That will help you" Yuma smiled her face red "Thanks Yu-chan" Natsuki said as he straightened out he smiled at her his face red as well "Shall we head back to class?" Yuma said putting her hand out to him "Yeah" Natsuki said "But is there a long way to get back to class?" he asked "Yeah,but why?" Yuma asked "So I can have some more alone time with you" Natsuki said with a smile Yuma blushed and nodded she took his hand and they walked the long way back to class later in the day it was after school had ended for the day Yuma was leading Natsuki to the detention room by the hand when they got to the detention room they saw Toru and Mizuki "Hey there compainion" Toru said with a wave Mizuki scoffed and looked away and walked into the room and sat down Toru laughed lightly "Is Mizuki-kun okay?" Yuma asked "Yeah,he's just sour about the whole you two being lover situation" Toru said "And about you punching him in the face" he added looking at Natsuki "I hope that didn't happen" Natsuki sighed.

Toru chuckled "Well should we head in and do our time?" he said Natsuki nodded and walked past Yuma "I'll see you tommorow Nat-kun" Yuma said "Alright Yu-chan" Natsuki said with a smile Yuma walked off but not before stopping and turning to give a wave Natsuki waved back and Yuma vanished down the hall "Come on lover boy get in here" came Mizuki's voice from in the room "We're coming" Toru called he looked at Natsuki and shrugged his shoulders Nastuki sighed and they walked in and they sat down when the detention teacher walked in he told them they were to stay until two minutes had passed and that they could study or just sit and wait and he sat down at the desk at the front of the room in no time flat he fell asleep "Does he even realize we could just walk out?" Natsuki said looking at the open door "We'd get more detention if we left" Toru said Nastuki sighed "Your right" Natsuki said "Just sit you butt down and wait it out lover boy" Mizuki jested Natsuki grumbled "Are you still angry about the whole me punching you in the face?" he asked Mizuki grumbled in annoyance.

"I apologized for that several times already!" Natsuki said "You wrecked my face man" Mizuki said "I'm said sorry" Natsuki said "Oh yeah! Will sorry help me get a girl now!" Mizuki shouted the detention teacher snorted "That's what you made about?" Nastuki asked "Yes! After Yuma-chan rejected me I started looking for a new girl!" Mizuki said "But now with my busted face I won't be able to!" Mizuki shouted "My face was my best feature!" he added "Sorry I ruined your means to get the girls" Natsuki said with a sarcastic tone and he bowed his head Natsuki heard Toru chuckle "Smart ass" Mizuki grumbled Natsuki lifted his head Mizuki looked at him.

"Hey tell me something" Mizuki said "What?" Natsuki asked "Are you really going to keep your promise with Yuma-chan?" Mizuki asked Natsuki answred right away "Yes, I am" Natsuki said "You won't ever make Yuma-chan sad again will you?" Mizuki asked Natsuki had a picture of his mothers sad face when she found that his father was cheating on her and then he pictured the sad look on Yuma's face when he said he didn't know her "No, I swear to you I will never make or let Yu-chan get sad" Natsuki said with a serious look in his eyes Mizuki smiled when he saw that "Good, I'm sorry I said those things about you earlier" Mizuki said "I was totally out of line" he added "I accept you apology" Natsuki said "It was just..hearing how sad Yuma-chan was" Mizuki began but Natsuki cut him off "I forgive you Mizuki-kun" Natsuki said Mizuki sighed in relief "Good, but let me tell you this one time" Mizuki said "What?" Natsuki asked "If you ever do make Yu-chan sad again I'll kick your ass myself" Mizuki said "And I won't care how messed up my handsome face gets" Mizuki said "When was your face handsome?" Toru cut in "Toru! I was trying to be cool there!" Mizuki shouted "You were never cool so why are you trying to?" Toru said "Shut up..." Mizuki grumbled looking away.

Toru and Natsuki laughed minuest later the three boys had moved and sat close together and they talked amongst each other all the while they served their detention time "So your saying your aunt hates your guts?" Toru said "Yeah, ever since I got here she's given me dirty looks" Natsuki said "Man why do you live with this women?" Mizuki asked "I had to it wasn't a choice none of my mother side of the family wanted to take me in so I was forced to go to Aunt Ayuko's" Natsuki said "Man it must suck living in a house with a women who can't stand your exsitence" Mizuki chimed in "Your telling me" Natsuki sighed "Why don't you try to live on your own?" Toru said "I couldn't I don't have a job,and I don't know how to cook" Natsuki said "Oh that's simple" Toru said "What do you mean?" Nastuki asked.

"There's a place I went to recently that need workers" Toru said "Re..Really!?" Nastuki said "Yeah, and I hear the pays good" Toru said "That solves my job problem" Natsuki said "But what about cooking how is that solved?" Natsuki asked "Why simple of course" Toru said "You have a cook right under your nose" he said "Can one of you cook?" Natsuki asked "Not us! Yuma-chan!" Mizuki shouted "What, Yu-chan can cook?" Natsuki said in surprise "Yeah, we had some of her cooking before and it's amazing!" Toru said "Your lucky that you have Yuma-chan as your girlfriend" he added "Wow, I would never have guessed Yu-chan learned how to cook" Nastuki said "Why does that surprise you?" Mizuki asked "Well, when we were kids Yu-chan tried to cook for me and she kinda messed up" Natsuki said after he remebered his promise with Yuma all of the things that he did with her back then came flooding back "You mean you had Yuma-chan's cooking way before us!" Mizuki shuouted "Jelous?" Natsuki smirked "Lucky bastard" Mizuki grumbled Natsuki chuckled "Thanks for the infromation you guys" Natsuki said "Hey, we have to look out for Yuma-chan's boyfriend or she'd get mad at us" Toru said "Thanks" Nastuki said with a smirk it was minutes after that their detention time together ended.

Natsuki, Toru, and Mizuki were staring at the teacher still asleep at his desk snoring loudly "We should wake him up I want to go home" Mizuki said "Okay then you go do it" Toru said pointing at Mizuki "Why me!? Why don't you do it!" Mizuki argued "Because I didn't go down so easily " Toru said with a smirk referring to how Mizuki went down fairly quickly and easily after Natsuki hit him in the face "Your the one that cause us to be in here!" Mizuki argued Natsuki grumbled in annoyance as Toru and Mizuki went back and forth with ech other "Sensei! It's time for us to go!" Natsuki shouted as loudly as he could that woke the teacher up "Huh..what?" he snorted as he shot up from the desk "Detention's over sensei can we leave now?" Natsuki asked the detention teacher looked up at the clock and it showed two hours had passed "So it is, then you boy are free to go" he said "Thank you sensei" Natsuki said as he got up Toru and Mizuki fallowed suit "Just make sure you boys don't end up back here" the detention teacher said "Yes sensei" the three boys answered together and they walked out the room.

The three of them walked down the hall to the exit of the school "Thanks Natsuki-kun if we had kept aruging we'd be stuck there even later" Toru said "Don't mention it besides I want to get home as soon as possible" Nastuki said "Why's that?" Mizuki asked "So I can stick it to my bitch of an aunt" Natsuki said "You go dude!" Toru said as they walked out the school the three of them walked down the road away from the school "Well I'm going this way" Natsuki said as they reaced a fork in the road "Oh, then see ya tommorow Nastuki-kun" Toru said "Yeah okay whatever lets get home Toru" Mizuki said walking off in the opposite direction of the way Natsuki was going "Right, don't mind him you'll get use to him after a while" Toru said Natsuki nodded and he parted ways with them when he got back to Ayuko's house she was already standing in the doorway waiting for him with an angry look on his face "I got a call from the school princibal" Ayuko said "You did?" Natsuki said playing dumb "He told me you got into a fight with some other boys" Ayuko scowled crossing her arms "Yeah, I kinda did" Nastuki said finding no reason to lie since he was about to tell Ayuko off "What did I say about causing trouble?" Ayuko said "Do you want me to kick you out?" Ayuko asked "Why should I listen to you?" Natsuki asked "What did you just say?" Ayuko asked "I said why should I listen to you" Nastuki said "You don't show me any sort of respect at all" he said "You put me down every chance you get" he shouted "Why you, is that anyway to talk to the one who took you in?" Ayuko growled.

"You didn't choose to take me in you were forced to!" Nastuki shouted "You don't care about me you hate me because I look like Shuji!" Nastuki shouted "And I don't think I should listen to a women who looks at me with disgusted eyes" Nastuki said and Yuma popped into his head "I have a women who will look at me with loving eyes and sees me for who I am and not who I look like" he added "You have a women you say?" Ayuko said "Yeah, and I don't care what you say I'm not like Shuji I won't make her sad  or hurt her" Nastuki said "I'll be a better man than my scumbag father" Natsuki said Ayuko was silent Natsuki was waiting for her to say something she sighed and looked at him "Are you finished?"she asked looking like she wasn't even affected by what Natsuki said "So, let me get this staright you broke two of the three rules I gave you in one day" Ayuko said.

"Yeah, what about it" Nastuki said "That means I can kick you out right now if I wanted to" Ayuko said "Do it then" Nastuki said Ayuko seemed to be a bit surprised by Natsuki's response "You really want me to kick you out you have no place to go and you don't have any money or a job to live on your own plus you can't even cook for yourself" Ayuko said "I learned about a place that's looking for workes and the pays good" Nastuki said Ayuko seemed to be pushed back "But you can't cook for yourself" Ayuko smirked "My girlfriend knows how to cook" Nastuki said "Gi..Girlfriend" Ayuko said "Yeah, I have a girlfriend and she's a more kindhearted women then you are" Nastuki said "You.." Ayuko growled angrily "You don't intimidate me any longer Aunt Ayuko" Nastuki said "Why you" Ayuko growled and she raised her hand and she slapped Nastuki across the face and smiled. [Ch.3 END]
