Living La Vida Peligroso

I entered the classroom, naturally late, when I saw something quite interesting.

"You guys really are like that, aren't you?" I smirked at my classmates Kyou and Tomoya.

"Huh?" Tomoya blinked.

"Like what?" Kyou looked confused as well.

There was a letter between them. Seeing as they were both so calm, it had to be a love letter. 'Sides, they had been around each other for quite a while, and I even saw Kyou once hand him a lunchbox, something a girl wouldn't do unless she was really dating a guy.

Tomoya glanced at the space between him and Kyou, and immediately gasped.

"Y-You've got it all wrong!" He gasped.

"This is a... Um.. Well... Yeah, it's just an ordinary love letter." Kyou nodded slightly, blushing a bit as well. I have to admit, for once, she actually looked cute. Which was rare considering the fact that she enjoyed torturing me.

Damn, was I good! I could barely keep myself from laughing.

"Hey..." Tomoya glanced at her.

"Huh?" Kyou glanced back.

"Don't just stay silent after that!" He growled.

"Tomoya, why didn't you tell me about this? I thought we were friends... How could you keep something this important from me?" I sighed.

"Sunohara, you..." Tomoya seemed speechless.

"'Sides, I'd be a pansy if I actually minded something like this." I added, as an afterthought.

"No, that's not it... you think we're friends...?" Tomoya sneered.

It's those kinds of moments where I wish I wasn't such a nice guy...

"I'm pretty sure you were supposed to be nothing but his slave..." Kyou added with her own trademark sneer.

"Or maybe my underling who does what I want." Tomoya laughed.

"You two are a damn perfect match for each other!" I yelled, bolting out of the room.

So that's that. Well, now that we've got the basics covered, let me introduce myself. I'm Sunohara Youhei, the hottest guy you'll find on this shore of Japan. But, the sad thing is that my best friend, Okazaki Tomoya, fell in love with a really, really vicious and abusive girl. Kyou might look very pretty, and she might be nice once in a blue moon, but she's still as bitchy as a chick can get.

But no matter how I tried to talk some sense into Tomoya, he insisted on staying with her.

And now, it's come to this...

"Look guys, this is my dorm room. It's not a lounge, and I haven't been paid for letting you rent the place, so I think you should find another place to hang out." I sighed as I looked down on both of them, sprawled across the carpet. It's a good thing they haven't noticed those green and brown stains yet.

"Youhei, since when did you have the authority to tell us what we should do?" Kyou glared at me with a raised eyebrow.

I swear, I wanted to bolt out of the room when I saw that look in her eyes. Kyou... She is a demon, that girl.

"And shouldn't you be happy that a girl would be willing to put up with your stench in your room?" Tomoya laughed.

"Yeah, but that's because she's with you!" I growled back.

"How thankless are you, weed?" Kyou sighed.

"That's it! Both of you, get out of here!" I pointed my finger at the door.

Kyou's eyes glowed red. "This room belongs to me now, so I think you should be leaving, weed."

"Stop calling me that!" I snarled, clenching my fists.

"So Sunohara Youhei would hit a girl. Wow, he's gotten to an all time low." Tomoya chuckled, slowly backing away from the two of us.

To my credit, I did not break my glare with Kyou. As we both stared each other down, Kyou suddenly clenched her hand into a fist. "I guess you'll need some more convincing." She sneered as she approached me.

To answer her taunt, I raised my own fists. "I was a top soccer player, so why should I be afraid of you? You're just a girl who catches guys off guard in order to get your way. Be gone with you, immoral villain!" I snarled back at her.

She answered me with a kick to my face, which I miraculously dodged. My victory in that move was short lived, however, for she smiled and followed up with a second kick to the side of my face.

I went flying. No, I am not kidding. I went flying and slammed headfirst into the wall of my dorm. As you can imagine, the natives started getting restless.

"What the hell is going on in there?" A rugby player yelled.

"We're beating up Sunohara Youhei." Kyou answered.

"Oh, then keep on going. And get a beat started, that's the kind of music I'd like to hear." The rugby player answered.

"With pleasure." Kyou called back happily, cracking her knuckles.

I hastily got up, only to receive another punch to the nose, sending me falling down and getting a shot to the groin, causing me to fly. When I hit the ceiling, I fell down. During my fall, with the help of gravity, I landed on one of Kyou's uppercuts, sending me headed for the ceiling again. As always, this was a really, really bad day.

After an hour, I was twitching on the ground, and Kyou was wiping her face with a handkerchief she just happened to 'pick up,' that lousy thief.

"Whew, what a workout." She breathed deeply.

"He makes a great punching bag, right?" Tomoya chuckled.

Kyou smiled at him, and I continued to twitch.

"Well, I've got to get back." She started to head for the door.

"Let me go with you." He offered, and they left me curled up in my room, barely able to move.

"Misae-san, do you happen to have any Tums or Pepto-Bismol? My stomach feels funny." I told her when she opened her door.

Misae looked at me, and her eyes widened a little. "My God, could a single girl beat a boy so brutally? Forget the Tums, kid. You need some bandages, and some ice. Here, I'll get you some water to help you wash up." Misae spoke, getting ready to run past me to get said things.

"Thank you so much..." I panted, before suddenly collapsing in front of her.

I woke up in a hospital, where I saw a young girl running around. That girl seemed familiar.

"Fujibayashi?" I called, but realized that my throat was really hoarse.

"Sunohara-kun, so you finally woke up." Ryou came walking over to me.

"What... Happened?" I struggled to remember what had went on. All I could remember was that Kyou beat me nearly to death, again, and that I went over to Misae, who was going to get me some ice.

"Misae-san tells me that you fainted in front of her because of my sister's strikes... Sunohara-kun, you really should try to not bother her."

"She's the one who uses my room without my permission, and Okazaki takes advantage of her strength and my loneliness to stay in my room! Wait, forget that last line..." I didn't want to reveal everything to the sister of Kyou, or Kyou might extract that information from her and use it against me... That damn bitch!

Ryou smiled knowingly. "Maybe you should lock the door to your room whenever you go out, and you should also try to find other people to hang out with."

"I've tried that second part... Got any ideas?"

"Sunohara-kun, don't you think your laziness makes people disrespect and underestimate you? Don't you feel horrible because of that?"

"Eh..." I wasn't really sure how I should answer her, so I decided to change the subject. "Besides, are you a nurse or something...? Aren't you a little young to be tending patients?"

Ryou sighed. She wasn't going to get a straight answer from me, and I guess she must have been thinking that she'd still get bad marks for my lowering of the class average. "I'm an intern here at the hospital, and, yes, I do want to become a nurse someday." She replied.

I stared at her for a second. It was really ironic how Kyou's little sister was such a sweet girl, who's dream was to help people once she was able, while Kyou enjoyed abusing and torturing people as well as taking everything she could get. Seriously, wasn't Tomoya dating Ryou for a while? Then Kyou had to go in there, use some stupid drama, and lure Tomoya away...

I guess Tomoya would have been better off with Ryou after all. But, to give him credit, none of us knew that it would come to this... None of us knew how hopelessly incompatible those two were. I guess love really is blind, blind enough to let happiness and welfare get thrown aside in pursuit of it, but I guess I'll have to tell that story later...
