'Why' was all she could ask.

'How' was all he could ask.

It was another average quiet morning at Namimori Middle, at least it was. When suddenly a new student arrived, it was a girl who caught the attention of many because of her appearance. She had curly black hair with a pink streak going through her side bang and one of her curls. Her eyes were blue and she had a fair complexion. "Ok class, listen up! We have a transfer student from America. This is Miharu Aijou." The teacher said. The class stared at her in awe wondering what it would be like in America. "Hey." was all she said. The first thing they noticed wasn't her cheery voice, but her tongue ring. "Miharu your seat is behind Gokudera." The teacher instructed. "Hai."

Morning classes went by quickly and it was now time for lunch. The black-haired girl stayed in homeroom. She was surrounded by her new classmates. "What's it like in America?" Yamamoto asked giving his usual kind smile. "Actually, I was born here in Japan, but I grew up in Italy until I was 13. Then I stayed in America for two years. My parents finally decided to tell me I was really from Japan. So, I took it upon myself to move here." Aijou explained. "Wow that's amazing Miharu-chan." "I don't see the big deal." Gokudera cut in. She didn't pay him any mind. " No need to be formal, call me Ai." she said.

The crowd quickly disappeared when a black-haired boy walked in. "H-Hibari-san!" Tsuna cried with fear. "It's the discpline committee chairman Hibari Kyouya."one student said."Where is Miharu Aijou?" he demanded. "That's me!" she shouted cheerfully. The class sweatdropped, 'She sure is in for it.' they thought. He glanced at the picture of a blonde girl with blue eyes and then back at Aijou. "Herbivores who lie shall be bitten to death." he said tonfas in hand. "Ooh, so you're a vampire kid!" Ai assumed happily. The class sweatdropped again. 'Now she's really in for it.' She noticed her classmates seemed to be acting strange. "What's wrong guys?" she asked. Before she could get an answer Hibari tried to hit her right arm, but missed.

"So that's how we're gonna play." Ai said with a grin. She pulled out a pair of metal claws. Hibari raised one eyebrow and grinned too, for the first time. The two came rushing into each other. You could hear the clashing of metal from a distance. They were evenly matched, head to head. Though someone had the upper-hand and it was our new character in the story. Aijou successfully managed to knock one of Hibari's tonfas out of his hands and he fell over one of the chairs. He slowly stood up,"What is your true name?" he asked. "Miharu Aijou." she said calmly. "Miharu Aijou, a worthy opponent." he murmured.

Hibari finally believed Ai after a long explanation of how she decided to dye her hair black when she was in America. The crowd reappeared around Aijou as she sat on top of her desk. She was surrounded my compliments like, "That was amazing Ai." or "You're so brave and strong." She started to get kind of annoyed by their constant surroundings and compliments. So she made up an excuse to get away from it all. " I have to go to the bathroom." she said unsure, Ai was a terrible liar but they seemed to have bought it. She went to the rooftop for some fresh air and slammed the door behind her. "Who's the one responsible for interrupting my sleep?" a familiar voice said. "It's Miharu Aijou I can't believe you would forget my name already." she whined. "What do you want?" he demanded. "Hibari, right? Just some fresh air." she said. "I'll allow you to stay until the afternoon classes start, only if you don't wake me up. If you do I'll bite you to death." he threatened. 'Sounds easy enough.'
