Hunter laughed loudly as Pascual slapped at his own face, taking her opportunity to step forward and kick him in his nearest shin. She still gripped her wand tightly, but she was still a muggle in her most basic instincts. What she could do with one flick of her wand was nice, but it wasn't as fun as using her own bare hands.

It was just nice to know she had it, feeling the weight in her tense hand. When Pascual's hand collided with Michiko's face, Hunter's eyes narrowed. He just didn't learn, did he? She thought he might finally back off with his tail between his legs and accept he wasn't going to win against them, but the guy was a trooper. She had to give him that.

"What did I just tell ya?!" she snapped, lifting her wand and giving a it a flick. "Diffindo!" she blurted, the first spell that popped into her mind. Almost immediately, blood blossomed behind the pantleg of the shin she had kicked earlier.

Pascual dropped to the ground, feeling the blood ooze out of his shin was enough to stop him. "You fucking psychos!" he declared from the ground.

Michi walked over to him and kicked dirt in his face. She looked down at him, pathetic and bleeding on the ground and placed her hands on her hips. "If you ever come never me again, I'll make it ten times worse," she said firmly, then she spat in his face and turned on her heel. "Let's get the fuck out of here," she said quietly to Hunter.

Pascual was still raging incoherently on the ground but she wasn't going to give him the time of the day.

Hunter scrunched up her face as she watched him squirming on the ground. It should have brought her some joy, but he mostly just disgusted her. She was proud of Michi though, and couldn't deny herself a wide grin as she walked over just as the younger girl spat into his face. "You got it babe," she agreed amicable enough, placing a hand onto her friend's shoulder and squeezing it gently once.

She took another look down at him and smiled wider, one of her typical goofy grins but so tinted with her smugness right then. "Don't go and rat on us now, pussy! You'll be okay, and besides, you ain't gunna get me.. I am a goddamn psycho, an' I fuck around with the Head Girl's bitch, I'm on this shit," she informed him matter-of-factly.

"Remember what we said! Ten times worse, fucknuts!" she sing-songed, imitating his own tone when he had first approached them, expecting them to back down. Turning on her heel, she grabbed her bag and slung it over her shoulder, catching up to Michi and pulling her arm around her as she had done earlier. "Your wrist okay, kid?"

Michi's heart was racing as she walked toward the school, she just wanted to get away from him. She heard Hunter telling him off and couldn't help but smile triumphantly. Michi leaned into Hunter when the older girl put her arm around her and she noticed for the first time since it happened that her wrist really was hurting.

She held it out to inspect and it was already swelling and turning purple. "Motherfucker," she said quietly. "I think he broke it..." she was about to take her wand to it when something occurred to her.

"Can I stay with you tonight?"

Hunter was tempted to turn back and go stomp on him a little for good measure, but she stayed steady, arm pulling Michi closer still as they walked back. She looked at the injured wrist, frowning deeply. "Killer," she lamented.

"If we can't fix it up, we'll go to Mack," she suggested. "She's good with that kind of shit. She hangs out with that kid all of the time learning shit I guess.. follows her to the library enough. Seriously though, six times she fixed my broken nose in one week! It's not even crooked!"

When Michi asked if she could stay over, Hunter raised her eyebrows at her expectantly as if she were crazy. "I told ya to go to my room, didn't I?" she grinned. "Course you can, boo."

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

"That's fucking impressive," Michi grinned, feeling a little better already. She could ignore her wrist for now and just revel in the fact that they just kicked the shit out of Pascual and he deserved. She sighed contentedly.

Michi smiled and quite unexpectedly stood on her tips toes as they were walking and planted a kiss on Hunter's cheek. She blushed furiously when she got back on solid ground and hid behind a stray hair. "Thanks Hunt," she said quietly.

"She has her moments," Hunter sighed playfully, shaking her head at the thought of her best friend. She was a piece of work, that was for sure. She was pretty content herself, her wand tucked away safely in the waistband of her shorts now and her hands stuffed into her pockets.

When Michi stood up onto her toes and placed the kiss on her cheek, even Hunter felt her face flushing a bit. "Wonder Woman at your service," she replied casually, trying to play off her embarrassment and flushed cheeks. There was really no denying the little fluttering in her chest, as much as she sort of wanted to.

"You want the bed to yourself? I can bust out the sleepin' bag.. you know I love that fuckin' thing."

"You were like dang freight train," she said still trying to hide her reddening face. She didn't know how it was possible but she still got butterflies in her stomach despite the fact that they had just had a violent show down in the woods with her ex.

"If you love it so much why don't you marry it," she teased, poking her friend in the side. "My butt aint that big, we can share," she could feel her face still getting redder.

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

"Bang bang! Not a fucking chance!" she declared in agreement, whipping both hands out of her pockets and making pistols with them. It was funny, she always got such a rush after a good fight, especially if she won. It left her feeling hyper and generally just alive. Being with Michi helped.

Flinching with a little laugh as Michi prodded her side, the blonde reached out to give the younger girl a playful shove. "Maybe I will marry it and I ain't even gunna invite ya 'cos you'd just make a scene," she teased back, tongue poking out.

When Michi suggested sharing, Hunter grinned widely without even thinking about it, giving a nervous little scoff of a laugh. "Yeah sure, baboon ass. Whatever ya fuckin' say," she went on, trying to keep the mood light. Keep it light and ignore the fact her heart was pounding a little hard. The fight hadn't even phased her, but this banter in the wake of their hyped up victory was killing her.

She laughed brightly at that. She was feeling pretty up, like she was on top of the world and nothing could tear them down.

Michi giggled and threw her head back. "Of course I would make a scene but who else has the class to decorate a sleeping bag wedding?" she snorted. "It comes alone with the territory!"

"Heeey!" she said indignantly. "It aint like a baboons, it's like a... like a bubble," she laughed, hip checking Hunter as they walked along.

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

"Y'all are gunna decorate my wedding for sure. No other bitch for the job," Hunter replied with surprising seriousness. But it was probably true, it was just how things worked. The events committee for example worked for two reasons; Michi's stylistic choices and Hunter's constant badgering of Sera to have the student government up their funding. They just worked together.

"Oh yeah 'cos a bubble-butt is so much sexier, right?" she laughed, trying and failing to dodge Michi's check. She stumbled a bit instead, still laughing. "I don't care how big your ass is though, bitch, you're still the bees knees to me."

They were almost back to the field edge now, and Hunter caught herself taking a cautious glance backwards. She didn't want this to end, the mood was so much better, back to normal. She was relieved to see empty woods behind them. "I meant what I said earlier," she blurted, overcome by her relief for a moment. "About you bein'.. my girl first. Ya were, guess I'll always have your back and shit."

Michi giggled. "Of course I am. It's going to be pimp," she said simply. "Glitter, cowboy hats, the works..." she grinned. "It's gonna be classy as fuck."

She snorted and looked back at her butt. "Well... bubble is better than nothing." Then she blanched a bit. "Yeah, you're the bees knees to me too."

Michiko's demeanor changed completely, her eyes went soft and she couldn't help the goofy grin that was spreading across her lips. "You were my first girl too Hunt, I... you're always gonna... be here," she said smacking her own chest lightly. She felt silly and stupid, flustered she looked behind them quickly, checking for signs of Pascual. He wasn't there and she was relieved but then she remembered she had just said something incredibly corny and blushed all over again.

Hunter swallowed thickly, still staring behind them a little bit before finally turning back to Michi. She was never normally one to get all weird and emotional like this, but there was just no sense in trying to hide it. She fought for her friends all of the time, but she had never gotten quite as riled up as she had tonight.

That was just what Michiko did to her. They had been broken up for a while, but she had always felt especially protective of the other girl, even though she knew that she could hold her own in the end. The idea of him messing with her, of him ever putting his fist to her, made her blood boil all over again and she clenched and unclenched her fists absently.

She hated the conflicted feelings inside of her, and she was never one to have much patience with anything. Turning her head a bit to look at Michi, she gave her a sort of sheepish look. It looked, and felt odd, on the normally boisterous girl. "I'm gunna do somethin' stupid, 'kay, but ya gotta just go with it," she informed her finally.

She shifted the bag on her shoulder again, and stepped in closer, stooping a little bit to press their foreheads together. The blonde hesitated for just a split second, reminding herself that certain actions couldn't be undone even in the heat of the moment, before pressing her lips firmly against Michi's, pulling the younger girl closer still by the front of her shirt.

Michi smiled when Hunter warned her, she really shouldn't be surprised about anything the other girl did but then...

Her head was spinning a little as the other girls lips met her own, without even thinking she was kissing Hunter back. Her arms went around Hunter's neck and she pressed her lips more firmly against the other girls.

It had been a while since they had kissed, really kissed and not a drunken peck on the lips at a party, but it still gave Hunter the same feeling. Like she was a junior again, except that she hadn't needed to crouch down quite as much then. It had been an inch or two ago at least.

Smiling lazily as she finally broke off the kiss, mostly for air, the blonde laughed a little. "Sorry," she offered, not really sounding it. She still held the front of the other girl's shirt, twisting it absently around her index finger. "Fighting makes me horny, it's adrenaline man, like.. electricity," she added absently, nodding her head in agreement with her own words.

"No you're not," Michi said a mischievous quirk to her lips. She gently twisted her fingers into Hunter's blonde hair, smiling. She hadn't felt this giddy since she was a sophomore, stealing kisses on the quodpot field when no one else was looking. It was different but familiar.

"It aint adrenaline either," she reached up on her tip toes and placed a softer kiss against the other girl's lips. Michi's lips only linger for a few moments before she was flat footed again in front of Hunter. "At some point we have to stop kidding ourselves."

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

Hunter wanted to argue with what the younger girl suggested, but she was never one for denying the truth of a matter. She was straight up, always, speaking her mind without a second of cursory thought. Why was this different? It was the damn fluttering in her stomach that was getting her. She wanted to punch herself in the gut a little to try and calm it.

"No, I guess it ain't," she relented quietly, with a quirky little smile as she looked at the other girl. She closed her eyes briefly as Michi kissed her softly again, and she felt the butterflies in her stomach taking flight again.

"Guess we might as well say it theb 'cos.. I really wanna be with ya I guess," she said simply, turning to glance back toward the school, squinting in that direction and avoiding Michi's eyes. She swallow thickly again, trying to keep up a nonchalant tone and expression. It was all she could do not to kiss her again.

"I'd never-- I know I wasn't.. a real good girlfriend before, but I ain't a fuckin' kid no more.. I just fought a fuckin' monster and won. I wanna protect y'all from like.. all the fuckin' monsters you gotta deal with. I do."
