"Shuiichi's a girl!"

Kurama, known to most as "Shuiichi", winced and kept walking. The relentless mockery was always the worst outside of the highschool walls. Kurama had, for the most part,enjoyed his walks home but lately they became less relaxed and more hurried. He glanced over his shoulder. There were five thugs from the highschool following hom a few paces behind. Why do they always have something to say? He recognized them. A small group of ruffians with slicked back hair, wrinkled uniforms and equally repulsive demenour. Something hit him in the back of the head. Kurama stopped his vigorus pace and turned to face the opposition with a dark glare.

"What do you want?" he glowered.

Taking a final drag of his cigarette, the middle hooligan flicked the remaining butt carelessly and stepped forward to retrieve the stone from the pavement.

"Did you touch my rock, woman?" he gruffed. The significant others approved of the taunt with a sucession of snickers.

Kurama scowled. "Don't call me that, I'm not a woman."

Snickers graduated into chuckles and highfives amungst the thugs.

"Could have fooled me." The thug with the rock smirked. He circled around behind Kurama and tugged on his long, red hair. "What's with the hair, Rapunzel? You ever think of cutting it? Maybe then you'll look like a member of the male species."

The scorned uttered a low growl in response. Bakas....

"If I cut it, it will just grow back. Do you not have some personality shopping to do?"

Kurama's comeback was rewarded all too soon with a swift punch to the stomach. Winded, Kurama hit the ground on his knees.

"Maybe that'll teach you some respect, WOMAN."

Kurama looked up and gave him the finger. The boy snarled. "Go to town on him boys, he's dog meat." Kurama tried to stand but was forced back to the ground compliment of another boy's foot colliding with his ribcage. One boy grabbed a handfull of his hair and pulled, forcing Kurama to look into his face. The boy smiled, showing big yellow stained teeth. Kurama coughed from the thug's bad breath and the boy went for his open mouth. The guy was kissing him! Disgusted, Kurama shoved him away.

"Looks like he kisses like a girl too!" Laughter.

Kurama wiped his mouth with his hand and fought the urge to throw up.

"Look how weak he is. I bet he's going to cry." The boy with the rock kneeled in front of the heaving Kurama, who was gasping and holding his stomach. "Are you going to cry, Shuiichi?"

Kurama glared at his tormentor through his bangs. "Kisama." He had to fight the urge to use his rose whip on the idiot. The thug grabbed the red head roughly by the chin, making him look into his eyes. "Next time." He winked. Reaching into his pocket, the teen pulled out a pair of girl's panties and dropped them on the ground in front of the glaring Kurama.

"I think these are yours."

The group of highschool ruffians laughed and walked away, leaving Kurama and the uderwear alone on the pavement. Kurama watched them round a corner before trying to stand. Raising shakily to his feet, Kurama closed his eyes as another intense wave of nausea washed over him. They had gotten him pretty good. The kick in the ribs had been the worst part. He groaned and continued his painful walk home. If only he didn't have a moral code....
