HIBARI

I sighed as I re-read the report on the tardiness of one Gokudera Hayato. Apparently he often takes long bathroom breaks from lectures and sometimes does not return until the class is over. He provides no explanation to the teachers when he is asked about his absences.

After three weeks of this behavior continuing, the teachers finally came crawling to me for assistance.

Really, how could people in charge of teenagers be such pathetic herbivores?.

"Kyo-san? May I have a moment of your time?"

Kasakube asked, pulling me from my thoughts.

"Hn?" I grunted, looking up from the now offensive document in my hands.

"Actually it's about Gokudera Hayato, his mathematics teacher has just called for me. Apparently he skipped out on the lesson for today, too. What should I do about him, Kyo-san?"

I shook my head as I stood up, pulling on my jacket as I did so.

"Kyo-san?"

he asked again, this time inclining his head to one side.

"I will handle him. You finish my paper work. Just sign it for me. I've already checked it all."

"Yes sir!"

I didn't bother responding, or even looking back to the man who had become my near constant shadow for the better part of the last year.

Ever since the representative battle had ended and our high school careers had began, I had been having a harder time taking care of my work. Especially now that Sawada had taken over for the ninth. While I didn't really care one way or the other about the herbivores position in the mafia, when I was called on to stand beside Sawada and vow to assist him as a guardian, I had swallowed my pride and accepted that position. This meant that I now had to protect the idiotic herbivore and his flunkies as well as Nami-chu and Namimori in general. Thus making Kasakube a necessity for my own sanity to stay intact. Of course, this did not mean I enjoyed the mans near constant presence at my side. It was annoying and reminded me of crowding.

I walked through the peaceful hallways of my pristine high school. I had upgraded my position over the last few years and as such, had enrolled and taken on the responsibilities of disciplining Namimori high school. Not that I have left Nami middle behind me. I simply entrusted it to Kasakube and the rest of the committee.

I had more herbivorous idiots to bite to death here. It made things less boring.

I opened the door to the rooftop, the smell of smoke clearly present in the afternoon air. I stilled for a moment, admiring the scene before me before I took a deep breath and walked over to the silver haired Italian.

"Oi, you skipped your classes again, Gokudera." I said, my hand grabbing onto his shoulder and forcibly turning him to look at me.

He just smirked at me defiantly.

"The teacher is a fucking moron. If you have a problem with it, tell it to the stupid ass who hired him!" He all but shouted at me, I smirked.

"Oh? Well, it is true that for someone like myself they are just idiotic herbivores. However most of the students here are less intelligent then they are, so I have not been able to bite them to death yet. "

Gokudera merely grunted in response.

"Don't make me bite you to death." I threatened halfheartedly. He just smiled, a genuine, contented kind of smile.

"Sure. If you can."

I pulled out my tonfa's. I hated sparring with him. He was the leader of all the guardians and yet was not able to dominate me, not like I was expecting him to be able too. Still, it was pathetic that I had to work with someone like him.

More so because he seemed to get enjoyment out of my beating on him. It was all horribly pathetic.

Gokudera Hayato uses the bathroom five times a day on average.

Mostly this is because he has become unimpressed with the teacher's knowledge and has, as a result, spent many a class period in the mens room, or loitering around near the door to the classroom where he can sometimes be seen by the other students. So far, no sightings of his silver hair have been reported by the teachers..

The other two times he uses the bathroom is when he is accompanying Sawada. Apparently Sawada is bullied in the bathrooms, when people think Gokudera won't be with him, so Gokudera has taken on the bathroom monitor position for the weakling. Pathetic.

I decided to confront one Gokudera Hayato on the roof once again, so I summoned him from his classroom, one of the only times when he was not ditching, and waited.

When Gokudera walked out onto the roof I couldn't help but smirk. He wore glasses and his hair was pulled into the smallest and if I was being honest with myself, the cutest, ponytail I had ever seen. I allowed myself a moment to simply look at him before I pulled out a tonfa.

"You called me up here to fight?" he asked as he sighed and pulled out a stick of dynamite. I merely smirked again before replying.

"No. I was actually planning on speaking with you, but I felt the need to draw a tonfa anyway." I said sarcasm heavy in my voice as I charged him. The only problem was that I had not inspected the roof before I did so, causing me to slip on some kind on green goo and fall on top of him. My tonfa smacking me in the face before it landed a few feet away from me. I huffed ungracefully while trying to right myself once more only to be stopped by a pair of arms wrapping around my neck. I looked down to see smoldering green eyes and a flash of scarlet on perfect cheekbones. I instantly felt myself harden to the touch of his hands and the look in those eyes.. it was too much for even my self control.

"You know, if you wanted to pin me, all you had to do was ask." he said his voice needy and in that moment I was needy too,

so I decided to do what I had been thinking of doing for some time now.

I kissed him, hard.
