“WHO WANTS TO DO ANOTHER LAP?!”

“I don't!” Yabuki shouted. Sweat was running down his face in steady streams. His shirt was already soaked thoroughly. His face was flushed a brilliant red and he was panting, open mouthed. “Please, Yankumi, no more.”

“THAT'S THE SPIRIT, YABUKI! ONE MORE LAP! FOR EVERYONE!”

A series of cries and curses sounded from the boys running on the track. Yabuki's inarticulate scream was the most satisfying, in Kumiko's opinion.

“Why do I have to run anyways!” Yabuki demanded. “I'm not your student anymore.”

Kumiko raised the practice sword she had swiped from the fencing club, and pointing at Yabuki. “You take responsibility for your actions!”

“What did I do!”

“I wont have you encourage stupidity!”

Yabuki frowned, confused. “What!”

“You told Reita what a good idea it was to challenge that kid!”

Yabuki stopped in complete shock. The other boys running swirled around, shooting him dirty looks.

“KEEP RUNNING, YABUKI!”

Yabuki started running without thinking. “Say what! I didn't.”

“Yes, you did!” Reita shouted from the front of the group.

“It was a joke! I didn't mean it!” Yabuki said.

“Reita is an impressionable young idiot! You shouldn't say stuff like that around other idiots!”

Yabuki gritted his teeth and then asked: “Then why is Ryu running!”

“Because he was the one that brought you here!” Kumiko shot back. Ryu made a rude gesture, making her smile. “Now enough talking! If you have enough breath to argue with me than you have enough breath to do another lap!”

“Oh come one, I'm dying here!” Yabuki groaned.

“Good, then you're ghost can pick up the slack! Now get moving, Yabuki!”

Yabuki groaned again and picked up the pace. He slowly made it to Ryu's side. He purposedly bumped into Ryu. “This is the last time I do you a favor.”

Ryu shoved him back. “Shut up and keep running.”

“ODAGIRI! YABUKI! I DON'T SEE YOU SWEATING!”
