Cherreads

Chapter 9 - A bunch of idiots

"Goodmorning sir" you chirped as you strutted towards the back of the class, to your desk and plopped down.

You could feel your deskmate watching you from the corner of your his bright yellow orbs, a playful grin plastered on his face. "Aren't you all peppy today" he said immediately after the teacher began his lesson. "I just had a big win," you grinned back Hanma.

'With my new power I'll definitely change the future and I'm gonna start here. Right now by befriending you'

He seemed to like you already, he sunk back in his seat and crossed his hands behind his head. "Are you gonna tell me or are you gonna make me ask"he hummed with his eyes closed.

"I would rather keep it to myself but feel free to ask" you rested your elbow on your desk propping your head on your palm. "But I won't tell you" you fake pouted. He nodded his head, he knew damn well you weren't going to tell him not that it was any of his business.

'In the anime, there was no information about Hanma's background story so the character himself was a mystery. ' You only knew canon stuff like how Mitsuya and Draken were the dragon twins and how Manjiro was Mikey because he tried to make Emma okay or and something about a badass female character by the name of Senju. Those were the only things you knew that weren't on season 1.

--break time--

Chiyo shoved her chopsticks into your mouth almost choking the shit out of you and the other girls laughed while you were fighting for your life.

"It's good isn't it" she exclaimed excitedly her eyes sparkled. Himiko came to your rescue and gave you a bottle of water which you immediately drank. "Y/n-chan you're so fragile" the girl who almost choked you laughed and a tic mark popped up on your forehead which rarely happened unless it was fucking weekend and someone woke you up early.

"I'll show you fragile" you growled menacingly holding the water bottle in your hand, you grabbed her face and forced her mouth open while the other girls stared at you too afraid to even make a sound.

The only one brave enough was Himiko to hold you back by your waist keeping you away from the other girl as you screamed and kicked like a person on drugs. "Y/N-CHAN SHE'S NOT WORTH IT" Himiko screamed as everyone else just stopped to stare.

"I'm confused...." Chiyo said scratching the back of her head with dumbfounded expression that only fueled to your anger. "LET ME HAVE HER"

Everyone and everything paused as they all stored at two blondes walking down the corridors of their school, they all stopped doing what they were doing to stare in awe while some in fear at the blonde duo.

They stopped infront of your class to see you being held back by two boys and a girl but upon the two boys noticing the delinquents in their school they let go of you and they backed away in fear afraid of what could happen to them.

"Y/n-chin" the shortie grinned seeing you staring at him with a puzzled expression as to what he was doing in your school. The other blond stood beside him with a pissed expression as he examined the classroom.

Everyone was staring as you quickly grabbed the blonde almost choking him, dragging him by the collar of his shirt to the lockers. "Manjiro-kun what in the devil are you doing here?"You growled glaring at him and the young led shrunk from the intensity of your glare.

"Not even a hello" he croaked out puffing his cheeks, he crossed his hands over his chest and looked away but you weren't having none of that cute stuff so you slammed your hand right next to his head. "Ken-chin help me?"The blond pleaded at his bestfriend that only averted eye contact afraid of what the new girl would do to him.

"What are you doing here?"You repeated but this time much louder for him to hear. "I came to check up on you after yesterday" he admitted.

Surprised by his intentions you backed away covering your mouth as you tried your best to stop yourself from squealing over him. "You're so cute" you cooed running your other hand in his hair, everyone stared at you as you messed up the delinquents hair and they knew it was over for you.

But to their surprise the blonde only smiled in return.

You spun on your heel and you were met with an impatient glare from the delinquent that had come with Manjiro. Most of his hair was shaved of only leaving the middle part and he had a dragon tattoo at the temple of his head and black eyes.

"Hey I'm Y/n Amajiki" you introduced yourself in a sweet voice and you honestly scared the shit out of Draken, where was that pissed off expression you had earlier. You looked ready to murder Mikey at that time but now you were smiling.

Upon realizing he had been staring long he cleared his throat averting eye contact with you. "Ryuguji Ken aka Draken" he seemed so proud as he introduced himself, he was waiting for you to run in fear like the rest of them but you smiled back in return.

"Nice to meet you" you grinned. "So now you've checked up on me you can go" you shooed Manjiro and his friend but Manjiro just wouldn't go.

"Y/n-chin let's get ice-cream"

"It's cold"

"But it's ice-cream"

"No, go back to school."

"But school is so boring."

"I know but go."

Manjiro being the person that he was, he wrapped his body around your torso not wanting to let go. Realizing that he was going to you go, you said for the sake of not creating a scene and returning to class with a literal octopus wrapped around your body.

"I can't believe I ditched school" you mumbled outloud. "I know I've spent 10 months away from school before but this really different. My mom is gonna kill me, she's gonna....."

You shook in fear imagining the hundred things Kyoko could do to you and they weren't lovely. "But auntie is a nice person" Manjiro laughed and you were horrified. "She's not nice. She only appears that way because when she says mean things she smiles and she loves collecting knives."

Draken rolled his eyes as he heard you talk about your mother that way, he honestly hated it considering he didn't have a mother but there you were going on and on about how lucky you were to have one. He jogged forward leaving you behind as he caught up with Manjiro who had been leading your way.

You noticed you guys were going into the shady neighborhood and you couldn't help but get a bad feeling in your gut. "Manjiro where are we going?"You asked picking up your pace as you tightened your grip on the purple straps of your bag.

Noticing your expression Draken shot you a smug grin, you honestly didn't like it. "It's okay if you're scared you can hide behind me" he suggested but you didn't like it, you felt as if he was looking down you. If he was gonna be that way then so were you. "If I were to hide behind someone, it would be someone much more stronger than you"you shot back in a snarky tone as you pointed towards Manjiro and Draken clicked his tongue.

"Y/n-chin you said you wanted to get stronger" Manjiro said in a serious tone when he stopped infront of delinquents much older than you guys. He turned to face you and that childish expression he had ealier was gone, it was replaced by his serious one and you unintentionally gulped as he stepped away for you to have a better look at the hoodlums.

"What better way to do that than fight a bunch of wannabe delinquents."

The stranger's really didn't like what he was calling them but they stayed quiet nonetheless not wanting another beating from the Invincible Mikey as you took a moment to count them and your eyes popped out of their sockets.

'18 GUYS??I'M NO GOOD AT HANDLING TWO GUYS AT ONCE AND YOU WANT ME TO FIGHT ALL THESE PEOPLE'

The delinquents burst out laughing like hyenas when they heard that you were their opponent and it honestly sparked something inside you knowing that they were looking down on you.

You turned on your heel and you heard their laughter getting louder.

"I knew she wouldn't do it" Draken smirked when he saw your retreating figure but you stopped in your tracks and dropped your bag down. Then you spun on you heel and all of a sudden you were up in the air connecting your knees into one of their faces, you were wearing shorts underneath your skirt so no one saw anything.

The delinquents all let out shocked screams as you slowly got up from the unconscious boy and you rested your foot on the boys head, grinning from ear to ear. The overconfidence looks they had from ealier had morphed into one's of fear and shock.

One pointed at you, sweating bullets. "The fuck is that I thought we was fighting a girl! There's no way you're a girl!"

"Oi Mikey you said we were fighting a girl" one of them stepped forward. The delinquents all started forming a circle around you. "I wasn't looking forward to roughing up a little girl but we'll do it anyway." The person seemed to be their leader because after he had uttered those words they all seemed to be getting fired up, some still wary but willing. They knew that if they didn't do it they would end up at the mercy of Mikey, it was either that or you and nothing was much scarier than getting their ass whooped by Mikey.

"Who knew the thought of roughing up little girl's could get you so fired up" after you said those words silence lingered in the air for a seconds and all their faces turned red while yours turned green with disgust.

"You just had to make it weird" the tall blond face-palmed him all the respect he had for you earlier gone. Flushed down the toilet.

You dropped in a fighting stance waiting for someone to make a move but they weren't coming and it just felt weird now. "Fuck someone punch me!" You exclaimed it came out louder than expected and it caused them to back away from you. They weren't exactly thrilled about the fact that you wanted this more than they did.

"Y/N MAKE THE FIRST MOVE" Draken yelled. Just like that you punched an uggo in the stomach right below the ribcage, two other delinquents from your new victims opposite sides lunged forward and all you did was back away and they fell to the ground.

Draken watched in awe as you punched and kicked the bunch of loonies, he was wrong for underestimating just because of your gender or the fact that you were small. His eye's sparkled as he watched sweat trickle down your neck, you had this determined expression on your face that captivated him.

He turned to look at the other blonde who just stared at you stunned, this wasn't part of his plan. You were supposed to ask for his help and then he would defend you after that you would be afraid of thugs. He wanted you to fear them so that your fear could protect. He wanted you to become a damsel in distress but he really liked watching you fight, your moves were so precise and smooth with no room for failure. You fought like you had eye's behind your back, he was impressed that you were still able to stay calm and use your other senses in the middle of a heated fight.

Thirty minutes later, all the guys were knocked out and piled on top of each other and the duo watched as you collapsed to the ground on your back. Sweat coating your beautiful skin as you let out a tired chuckle and the two immediately ran to your side. "Are you okay?"The taller boy asked as Manjiro just stared at you with a stoic expression.

"I'm good I just wasn't expecting to be training today" you laughed seating upright focusing your attention on the tall tree that gave you a toothy grin, "I didn't expect you to be this cool" he extended out his hand to you, you scanned his face and mirrored his expression as you took his hand, holding on firmly as he helped you get back up your feet. "You really thought I would let myself thrown around by a bunch of idiots."

Manjiro slung his arm around you and Draken's shoulders, he was in between you two. "So you two are friends now" he laughed as he rubbed his cheeks against his two friends. "We should get ice-cream."

You and Draken glanced at each other and you both grinned, "why the hell not" you said in unison and the shortie lit up.

You guys got some ice-cream despite the cold weather and you really had a great time forgetting the fact that Kyoko would eventually find out about this, she already didn't like Manjiro and this would give her a good reason for forcing you two not to interact with each other.
