Sunset and Soul stared in confusion as Shard glared at the walking stereotypes with unholy rage, his orange hair almost seeming like fire. The leader stared down at him, cracking his knuckles. "Ok kid, let's get started."

"Shouldn't we do something?" Sunset asked.

"Don't worry I'm on it." Soul walked through the crowd until he was in the front row. "Kick his ass Shard!" Sunset groaned. "Kick his ass! Kick his ass! Kick his ass!" The other members of the crowd began chanting with Soul, filling Shard with confidence and feeding his ego greatly. His anger being replaced by the thrill of battle.

The leader growled and charged towards Shard who merely stepped out of the way and elbowed his spine, causing the jock to fall on his face and remain still for a moment. Two other jocks came at him from opposite sides, charging while yelling. Shard smirked and jumped high into the air as they were about to pounce on him, resulting in them crashing into each other. As Shard landed on their heads he kicked one in the face sending him sliding across the stone path and kicked the others face in midair.

"He's just messin with us!" One of the jocks yelled out as he pulled out a knife and slowly approached the orange eyed boy.

Shard looked to the knife and laughed. "Seriously?! That's what you're gonna use against a swordsman?!" As the jock heard this he looked at Shard in confusion. "Never bring a knife to a fist fight." Shard reached behind him and pulled out his orange and black blade. Within a second he was behind the jock with his sword sheathed. The jock looked in confusion until his knife split into three and fell out of his hand.

Shard smirked and spun around, jumped up and placed his feet on his foe's back and pushed him to the ground. As he turned around he moved his head slightly to avoid a brass knuckle to the face from another jock.

"Boy you guys don't know when to quit do you?" The jock threw several more punches that missed as Sgard stepped back to avoid them, in turn delivering some of his own. After landing enough hits the jock began to feel dizzy. Shard spun his arm for a second before knocking him in the jaw. "Shoryuken!" The jock was thrown into the air and hit the ground hard.

The leader had recovered and stepped in front of the five remaining jocks. "We're gonna break your spine and feed ya to the crows kid!" The leader placed his dust in his palm while the others pulled out baseball bats.

"You know that would be intimidating if you were... well intimidating."

"Are you mockin us?!"

"Oh no, nononono... *pfft* yeah." The jocks all charged forward and surrounded Shard. Looking around Shard smirked. "Alright then, show me what you've got."

As one of the jocks stepped forward and swung his bat Shard ducked and rolled under his legs. Appearing behind him Shard elbowed the back of his head knocking him out and falling flat on his face. As another swung his bat Shard caught it and punched the guy in the face, causing him to fall back and let go of the bat. Shard spun the bat in his hand before throwing it at one of the surrounding brutes, winding him and distracting the others as they looked to their friend.

Shard took this opportunity and pulled out his sword. He ran from jock to jock, slicing carefully as he went. As he stopped in front of the leader he held the sword to his face, causing him to sweat. All of the jocks outer clothes fell to pieces leaving them exposed. However the leaders clothes remained intact, he felt pain on the right side of his face. Placing a hand there he looked to it and saw blood, looking to Shards sword he saw a small tinge of red on the blade.

Shard was glaring at him. "Be thankful all I cut was your cheek, now get lost."

The leader growled before throwing a punch which Shard dodged. Shard then hit him with the hilt of his sword knocking him unconscious. He swung his sword to throw the blood off the blade before sheathing it. Turning to the last standing jock who tried to charge him he asked a simple question.

"Tell me, do you want children in the future?"

The jock froze and took a minute to think about it. "Hmm, I don't really... No I guess."

"Oh, good." Shard shot forward and planted his foot firmly into the jocks crotch. He squealed like a girl before dropping to his knees with blank eyes. As Shard nodded in satisfaction he turned to the crowd that began cheering and throwing roses at him. He bowed and took one of the roses, sniffing it he sighed happily, he put it in his breast pocket and gestured to the disabled jocks. "Don't let me stop you, they're all yours."

As Shard walked through the crowd the students all grinned like mad, staring at the fallen jocks. No one moved until a boy with black hair in a blue shirt jumped to the front. "FOR THE MOTHERLAND!!!" All of the members charged towards the bullies.

Soul and Sunset stood and watched. "I didn't know Treble Mix was here."

"He's everywhere Sunset, he knows when he's needed." The couple just watched as the students took their revenge on the defeated brutes that had annoyed and tormented them for years.

The next day

Shard drove down towards Ditzy's house while singing along to one of his favourite tracks. "T-T-That that don't kill me, can only make me stronger, I need you to hurry up now, cause I can't wait much longer, I know I got to be right now, cause I can't get much stronger, man I've been waitin all night now, that's how long I've been on ya!"

He turned down the music as he entered Ditzy's neighbourhood, slowly driving down until he pulled up by the grey painted house where his date was waiting. Ditzy walked out the door and blushed as she looked Shard in the eye from her doorstep. Shaking herself she walked up to the car and got in the passenger seat.

"Good morning Ditzy." Shard greeted with a smile.

"G-Good morning Shard."

Shard smiled warmly and placed a hand on Ditzy's. "Hey, no need to be nervous, we're just going to see a movie together and then getting a bit of lunch. There's nothing to worry about."

Ditzy smiled and held Shards hand tighter. "I know, I just... haven't had the best experiences with dating."

Shard frowned for a moment before an idea came to his head. "Hey Ditzy, I know something that could probably get rid of any nerves or thoughts that say I'm gonna betray you."

Ditzy just looked at him surprised and confused. "W-What? Shard if I made it seem like I don't trust you I-" She was silenced by Shard planting a quick kiss on her lips. She looked at him wide eyed with a huge blush appearing on her face.

"In my family, when a male kisses a female from outside the family on the lips, he vows to protect her and look out for her best interests. If they don't they are disowned by the family and brought eternal shame. It's a tradition created by my ancestors, and my family has stayed true to that tradition ever since the early eighteenth century." Shard explained with a comforting smile.

Ditzy's blush spread to create a red line across her face. She began to tear up and tackled Shard with a hug. "Thank you." Shard smiled softly and began stroking her beautiful blonde hair that he loved so much. If he was going to go through with this then he wanted Ditzy to feel secure, safe, happy and above all... He wanted her to feel loved.

It was a quirk with his family, the males were always extremely protective and loyal to their partners. All of them had met their loves during their teen years all at the same age, and Shard had reached that age. Shard believed that it was his ancestors looking out for the family, helping it grown and continue to exist through the generations.

He just sat there in his car, a beautiful girl in arms. Little did he know that his parents, Ruby and Dinky were watching from a bush with binoculars. Ruby and Dinky bumped fists in victory. Shards father laughed to himself as he watched them. His mother smiled knowingly, her blonde hair was in a bun and she wore a bright yellow dress with flower patterns. 'Looks like I should start saving up for a wedding, because it looks like my son just found his future bride.'

If you couldn't tell by now their family is very traditional... don't judge me.
