Chapter 1: How Hibari Kyouko and Sawada Tsunayoshi Meet aka The First Meeting of the Cloud and Sky

Hibari Kyouko, the chairman (or chairwoman) of the Disciplinary Committee of Academy of Religious Order, had just woken up from her daily nap on the rooftop of the Cloud section of the school's building.

As she left the rooftop, her cousin and vice-chairman (second-in-command) of the Disciplinary Committee, Kusakabe Tetsuya, approached her from the shadows.

"Good afternoon, Kyou-san. Did you have a nice nap?" Tetsuya asked politely.

After receiving a go ahead wave from Kyouko, he continued, "There's a disturbance at the pathway in-between the Sky section and the Cloud section of the female division. Do you want us (the Disciplinary Committee) to handle it?"

"There's no need," Kyouko stated coolly, "It will be a nice after nap exercise for me. I'll bite those daring herbivores to death for causing a disturbance to the school. Continue to patrol other sections of the school, Testu."

"As you wish, Kyou-san," Testuya replied before leaving.

Kyouko smirked to herself, 'Time to have some fun.'

It took Kyouko a few minutes to reach her destination. As she approached the group of crowding herbivores, she could hear a few snippets of conversation. "Look at you, you're so pathetic. Who did you think you are, getting Professor Reborna's attention!" "Yeah! I even heard that the professor went all the way to Japan just to bring you here!" "You can't even speak Italian!" "Useless!" "What a disgrace!" "You should just leave!" "You probably don't even have any Italian blood in you!" "Outsider!" "Mudblood!"

Kyouko's sharp, gray eyes narrowed in distaste. She loathed herbivores that discriminated against others. She, of course, would not do such an herbivorous thing. She did not discriminate against anyone. People of all nationality, gender, sexuality, ages, and religion, she had and would continue to bite them all to death equally if they dared to crowd and disturb the peace of her school.

"Wao. Here's a foolish group of herbivores that dared to crowd around and disturb the peace. Kamikorosu," snarled Kyouko menacingly, before proceeding to bite all the herbivores to death (none of the herbivores even had the time to scream or beg for mercy).

Within minutes, Kyouko was done with them. Then, she turned her attention on the victim of the bullying that had not once moved from her spot on the floor (she was hiding her face in her arms, which was wrapped around herself in self-defence). The victim's once-white habit was stained with dirt and grass (proof that she had tried to run, but failed to outrun her tormenters), her long brown hair was unkempt and mud-stained (the bullies most likely threw mud on her hair) and her whole body was shaking (either in tears or in fear).

As if sensing the gaze of a predator, the little herbivore raised her head and revealed her teary caramel eyes. "Are… you… going to hurt me too?" she whimpered.

Instead of replying, Kyouko only said in a monotone, "Stand up, herbivore, and state your name."

Most spineless herbivores would have run away in fear when they heard such a cold voice. But for some reason, the little herbivore seemed to gain some courage from her monotonous voice. She got up and stepped closer to Kyouko (to Kyouko's approval, not too close that could constitute as crowding) and blinked up at her (the little herbivore only reached to her shoulder) curiously.

"Hmm… senpai, are you from Japan too? I'm… Sawada… Tsunayoshi… from Namimori, Japan," introduced the cute herbivore, whose eyes were still watery and red, but with a hint of trust (why would the herbivore look at her like that?).

Kyouko nodded her head blankly (the herbivore was living in Namimori too?), inside her carnivorous' mind, her cute herbivore meter was reaching the maximum point. And then, when the herbivore tilted her head to the side questioningly at her, it was the beginning of the end of Kyouko. Her mind went blissfully blank and by the time she regained her senses, she found herself holding an armful of herbivore possessively (and when did she drop her tonfas?).

Kyouko hesitated for one second (a carnivore would not hesitate no matter the reason), before releasing the herbivore (who was looking at her with big watery caramel eyes that Kyouko was pretty sure should be illegal) regretfully.

"Hmmm… senpai, what is your name?" the dangerously cute herbivore asked earnestly ('Why were her eyes sparkling and where did those flowers in the background came from? It's not as if we are characters in a shoujo manga,' thought Kyouko in incredibility.).

"Hibari Kyouko… I used to live in Namimori, Japan. If you want, you can address me as Kyouko-senpai. Tsunayoshi," stated Kyouko at last, giving in to the urge to pet the herbivore's head.

If it was possible, the herbivore's eyes grew even bigger and watery (in complete happiness) which threatened to drown Kyouko in the utter cuteness that was Sawada Tsunayoshi (that pair of eyes should come with a warning label) despite looking unkempt and dirty.

Kyouko proceeded to tidy Tsunayoshi by brushing off the grass and leaves and mud that got stuck in her hair and on her clothes, before gesturing for the herbivore to leave the area that was littered with 'corpse' (must remember to get Tetsu to clean up the corpse).

The adorable herbivore ('I really had to stop using those 'fluffy' adjectives to describe Tsunayoshi,' thought Kyouko dryly) stared with some concern at the 'corpse' of her tormentors.

"Kyouko-senpai, will they be alright?"

"Who knows, don't care," was the cold reply.

Tsunayoshi sighed softly; her intuition told her that her senpai would most probably get someone to 'deal' with the unconscious bodies of her bullies despite her cold words. After all, her senpai was a kind person despite being very violent. Her intuition disagreed with her (at least with the kind part on the bullies), but she ignored it.

Tsunayoshi followed after her senpai as they left the area. After a while, she recognized their surroundings (the wall was orange and the only place that was orange was the Sky section of the school). She froze and started to back away (in preparation to run if necessary).

As if sensing her intention, Kyouko caught her right wrist gently but firmly, "Where do you think you're going?"

Tsunayoshi shook her head with fear in her eyes, "I can't. Senpai, please, don't make me go back. All of them hate me! And I don't understand what they are saying and they are always whispering and pointing at me and they are always throwing my things and…"

"Tsunayoshi. Stop babbling," cut in Kyouko sternly.

Tsunayoshi closed her mouth and tried her best not to burst into tears.

Kyouko let go of Tsunayoshi and sighed when she saw how desperately the girl was trying not to cry. "Silly herbivore. When did I say that you are going back alone? I'm not going to throw you back to the wolves. I will accompany you and translate your lessons for you. I will make sure that nobody ever bullied you again."

Tsunayoshi stared wide-eyed (with gratefulness in her eyes) at her senpai, "Thank you, senpai. But… what about your own lessons? Don't you have your own class?"

"I don't crowd with noisy herbivores," was what the unconcerned skylark said.

Tsunayoshi's intuition warned her not to mention about her own crowded class and she let go of her unasked question. As she followed her senpai again, she suddenly realized one thing.

"Kyouko-senpai, how did you know that I'm a student of the Sky section?"

"Less talking and more walking, Tsunayoshi, otherwise you are going to be late. And it's pretty obvious since you are wearing an orange badge on the collar of your habit, the place where I found you is between the Sky and the Cloud section, and you are way too concern with your tormentors which is one of the attributes of the Sky students (which only you seems to have)," stated the skylark emotionlessly ('Tsunayoshi is way too unobservant. It is too dangerous for her wellbeing. I have to train it out of her during her free time,' thought an exasperated Kyouko.).

Tsunayoshi could only stop and stare at her senpai in awe and stars in her eyes, before realizing that she was left behind.

With her trademark 'hiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeee!', the tuna fish ran after the disappearing skylark.
