Lyon's footsteps ceased. He looked back at the smug face of Haguruma with venom in his eyes. “You've already said enough last time. Keep her out of this.”, he ground out.
“Oh really?”, the dark-haired youth began to pace around Lyon. His hands were fiddling with the magazine in his hands but those cold eyes of his were fixated solely on Lyon's face. “But I don't feel like our previous discussion led to any new breakthroughs at all. After all, I was just trying to help you with you mommy issues.”.
“Like hell you were.”, Lyon hissed angrily at the mocking remark.
“You're not denying you've got mommy issues? Well I figured one would have them if their mother was born from a brothel.”
“My mother is nothing like that! She's a good woman!”
“So says you who doesn't have a single memory of her.”. The cocky grin on Haguruma's infuriating twitched in acknowledgment in Lyon's unease and took it as a sign to continue his verbal attack. “I mean, really. If one thinks about it, why would a Japanese man take in a foreigner? It's either they're a loser, they couldn't get a respectable woman or both! Hahaha!”.
“I'll kill you!”, Lyon lunged at the taller boy, but Haguruma just stepped out of the way.
The dark-haired boy raised a finger and wagged it like one would scold a child, “Uh-uh-uh, don't be so hasty. I'm not done yet.”. He started tossing the magazine in the air while continuing, “While on the topic. I also heard that your mother left you before you were even a year old. What was that about? Did her instincts as a tramp kick in so soon? Or maybe I should say it was too late?”.
“Shut your mouth!”
Haguruma was on his back before he could realize what happened. He felt a dull pain on his face and the area just underneath his nose was sore. He laughed manically at the realization of what just happened. “Wow. From how dainty looking you are, I imagine that most people wouldn't see you as being able to throw a punch like that.”
“I told you to shut up!”, growled Lyon with a show of the same knuckles that knocked the taller teen down.
“Hmph!”, Haguruma stood up from his unsightly position. The young man dusted himself calmly as he muttered, “You're so easy to rile up. Especially when you're hearing the truth.”.
“You don't know anything! Don't start spreading lies!”
“Then if I'm wrong. What's the truth?”
It looked as if Lyon was about to say something but suddenly stopped as if thinking better of it. However that looked to be a painful decision as he just stood there in silence.
Haguruma took that silence as a sign of admittance. Laughing out loud, the teen yelled, “See? So I was right after all wasn't I? Your mother was a little foreign toy that your loser dad just happened to pick-up. Then he was too much of a loser so she dumped him for someone else. That about sums everything up doesn't it?”.
“Like hell that's the truth...”, the shorter boy muttered under his breath.
As if it was difficult to hear, Haguruma cupped his ear and asked patronizingly, “Oh? What was that princess?”.
“Like hell that's the truth.”
The taller young man threw his hands in the air and yelled, “There's nothing else that could be the truth! Is there a possibility for any other? Face it, your mom is a no good who-”
THWACK!
Lyon didn't let the smug boy finish.
“I dare you to say that again!”, Lyon roared with a left that sent Haguruma's head whipping back again. “Come on! Say it!”. He punched again, and again, and again, sending the taller boy reeling into the crowd.
To his credit, Haguruma still found it in himself to laugh. He caught one of Lyon's fist in one hand and shouted, “Oh you've done it now!”. A grin was on the bigger boy's face. “Better pack your things for that expulsion you were promised before, you little brat!”. Haguruma lashed out with his other fist.
Lyon ducked underneath it and pulled Haguruma in a judo flip. The blonde quickly straddled the dark-haired foe to pin him down. “Fine by me!”, Lyon declared as he began to punch left and right again.
Haguruma kept his arms up to block the rain of hits. Knowing from past experience that Lyon was pretty light, he forced himself to sit up and slammed Lyon to the ground. “I win!”, declaring his victory, Haguruma pelted the petite boy with blows.
Left, right, left, right. It seemed that this continued for another half-minute before Lyon saw his chance to counter attack. Haguruma's fist came flying at the smaller teen who parried the hit and grabbed it to prevent Haguruma from pulling back. The larger boy tried his other hand but Lyon grabbed that as well. Both boys were now in a stalemate, at least that's what most would assume.
Lyon leaned back onto the floor while pulling on Haguruma's arms. This forced the larger teen to double over. The blonde then quickly switched from straddling Haguruma's abdomen to straddling his arms. Crossing his legs, Lyon caught Haguruma's head in a scissor hold.
Things were looking bad for Haguruma, at least until he used whatever he could muster of his rapidly lessening breath to shout, “Get him you idiots!”.
