Disclaimer: I'm back! And with a new story too! I haven't written in so long, it feels good to be back. I don't own -Man, only my own sadistic mind and ideas. And the main character, I made her up for a different story a while ago but I figured I'd use her for this one. This story came to me in a dream I had recently. In vivid detail, which I will not completely describe cuz it's weird. Oh well, enjoy!

Chapter 1

The final bell rang, signaling the end of last period. A girl with shoulder length, auburn-red hair yawned.

"Finally, finals are over! Now we can actually enjoy our vacation this year. I can't wait!" She was referring to her boyfriend of almost 5 years now. They had first met in their final year of junior high. They bumped into each other in last period.

(A/N: oh yeah, in this story the school stuff goes by the American schooling system. So 6 years of elementary, 3 of junior high, and 4 of high school.)

~4 ½ years earlier~

"Alright, and you? Your name please." The male teacher was having the students introduce themselves to the others they were to be in this class with. The young girl was shy and reluctant to speak. She had been getting a strange vibe from this teacher all evening. She didn't want to give him a reason to talk to her, much less get near her. It probably didn't help that, even at the tender age of 12 ½, she was fully developed and had a body that could stop a truck. She had her mother to thank for that. She wasn't overly large, but larger than normal. Maybe that was why she always had problems with male teachers. "Come on now, you don't have to be shy. What's your name?"

"She doesn't want to tell you so shut the hell up you old geezer." An icy voice spoke up next to her. Her breath hitched at the sight of the breathtaking person beside her. Long raven hair, sharp features, long arms and legs, and the most icy cobalt eyes she had ever seen. She immediately knew this person was of Japanese orient like her. She herself was half Japanese. But one thing caught her off guard.

"What did you say? I'm not an old geezer! Such an insolent child. What's your name young lady?" He glared at the kid. Some of the parents around the room accompanying the kids started whispering things to each other like, "I was wondering that too.", "I wonder who she is?", "Where are her parents anyway?", and "How old is she?". The teen's eye twitched in irritation. Suddenly, the auburn haired girl spoke up, immensely annoyed at their disrespect.

"Excuse me, but this 'young lady' you speak of, is a boy! Now will you all just shut the hell up? It's none of your god damn business!" She yelled as she stood up and slammed her small fists on the desk, her face hidden by her bangs. The room grew silent. The teacher stood wide-eyed, along with everyone else. After a bit he regained his composure and pushed his glasses up to hide the glint in his eyes.

'This one's feisty, how interesting.' He thought. "Well, if it's not our business, then it's certainly none of yours either. So why are you butting in, miss…?"

"Hinote. It's Hinote." She mumbled, now embarrassed at losing her temper for no reason. She didn't even know this boy, and yet she was sticking her nose where it didn't need to be. But she had just had the feeling that if she didn't do something right that moment, then something bad would have happened. The teacher scoffed quietly and walker over to her and gripping her chin painfully, forcing her to face him. He glared down at her.

"Ms. Hinote then. Unless you know this 'boy' and are friends with him, I suggest you mind your own business. Or else the consequences will be dangerous. I do not tolerate mischief in my class." He hissed in her face. His eyes held a sadistic look that, from this angle, only Hinote could see. But someone else seemed to get the hint too.

"Get your filthy hands off of her, you fucking pervert!" A long blade of katana was suddenly pressed dangerously against the man's neck. Gasps were heard from parents and students alike around the room. Reluctantly, he released the girl from his grip. She stumbled backwards and the raven-haired boy took her in his arms protectively, his sword still up against the man's throat. She gripped his shirt and buried her face in his chest. "If you ever touch her again, I'll slice open your god damn stomach, cut out your insides, and cram them down your fucking throat! Got it?" He growled dangerously. He didn't know what came over him. He just suddenly felt the uncontrollably urge to protect this small girl. Well, not small everywhere, but you get the picture. But still, why the hell would he feel like that? He didn't even know her!...But he knew that he wanted to. The teacher looked mortified at this.

"H-How dare you speak to me like that? You don't even know this girl! You just met her! And you gave the gall to butt in-!" As the teacher continued ranting, Hinote mumbled something into the beautiful boy's chest. He glanced down at her.

"Riku." She repeated quietly. He instantly understood and whispered "Yu Kanda" in response. No one noticed the exchange of words, as they were too busy watching the teacher flip out. She smiled to herself and raised her head to face Kanda.

"I have an idea. Play along." He whispered so no one else could hear, not that they were listening anyway. She nodded, detached herself from the Jap and faced the teacher who was, unsurprisingly, still ranting idiotically.

"Will you shut the hell up already? God, I'm getting a migraine just listening to this! And yes, he does know mw, dumbass!" She placed her hands on her hips and smirked as he immediately shut up.

"Oh yeah? Explain. How do you know each other?"

"We're lovers." The raven-haired spoke up. Everyone gasped loudly at this. 'Lovers? These junior high kids? What the hell? They're way too young for that kind of stuff!' Every parent in the room thought. Riku's nose and cheeks pinked a bit but she remained composed. She had to play along if she wanted this creepy teacher off her back. The man faltered and took a step back.

"T-That's impossible! You don't even know each other's names!" He sputtered.

"His/Her name is Kanda/Riku." They both said at the same time, thoroughly surprising the group.

"J-Just cuz you know each others' names doesn't mean you're lovers. Prove it!" He smirked triumphantly, thinking he had won this argument. Riku and Kanda looked at each other and shrugged nonchalantly.

"Okay." They both answered. Kanda lowered his sword from the teacher's neck, sheathed it, and looped his arm around her waist. Her heart hammered inside her chest as he lightly lifted her chin and claimed her full lips. As soon as their lips made contact, both felt their mind go blank. Kanda pulled her closer as her hands locked behind his head. Riku was freaking out in her head. 'Oh my god! He's kissing me! The sexiest boy I've ever met is kissing me! This is the best day of my life!' She mentally fanned herself she felt as though an electric current was passing through her body where he was touching her. Kanda licked her bottom lip, silently asking for entrance. She got the hint and opened her mouth. His tongue delved into her warm oral cavity and explored every inch he could reach. He swirled his warm muscle around hers a few times, trying to get her to respond and play with his. The girl smiled against his lips and nipped his tongue teasingly. They eventually broke apart, a thin string of saliva connecting them before breaking. Some parents gasped while others covered their kids' eyes. One boy fainted from blood loss, (A/N: Yay! Nosebleed!) and one fanned herself repeatedly while the teacher's jaw hung open in shock.

"Is that enough proof for you?" Riku asked as Kanda slowly released her from his hold.

"….."

"I'll take that as a 'yes'. Come on, let's get out of here." Kanda threaded his fingers through hers and led her towards the door. She smiled.

"You got it babe." Riku trailed beside him, out the door, and towards the track field. As soon as they were on the opposite side of the field she sank down to her knees in the grass. Kanda turned at the sudden resistance of movement and looked at her. He sighed and sat down next to her. Riku's cheeks and nose were red, though her face was blank. Kanda chuckled to himself. He was beginning to like this girl. A lot actually. Which was weird for him. He'd never liked anyone before; he never knew what it felt like to actually like someone. But now, he knew. He even liked this strange feeling.

"You alright? You look kinda out of breath." He stated somewhat quietly.

"…Yeah, I'm ok. It's just…" She trailed off absentmindedly.

"Just what?" He lightly prodded.

"Che, never mind. Forget it." The auburn haired girl blushed a little and hid her face. This boy, this dreamy boy, had taken her first kiss. And she had allowed it. Hell, she'd even encouraged it! Suddenly, she gasped. "Crap! I didn't mean to sound rude or anything! My sister says it's unlady-like. Sorry." She looked away in embarrassment. Kanda just smirked.

"Che." He scoffed in amusement. This girl was so strange to him. Sure, she had a smokin body, but that wasn't it. It was something else. Riku inhaled sharply and swiveled her head to face him.

"Hey! You do the same thing! Weird, I've never met someone else who does that." She mused quietly to herself. Unknown to her, he heard it.

"I could say the same thing." He chuckled. This made her face redden again.

"Y-You heard that? What the crap dude. Do you have super hearing or something?" She eyed him funny.

"…I just don't get it." Kanda muttered after a while.

"Hmm? Get what?" She was somewhat puzzled. Was there something to get?

"You." Kanda stated blankly.

"Me?" She pointed a finger towards herself and tilted her head to the side slightly.

"Yeah, you. It's strange but I feel something, when I'm near you. But I don't know why I feel like this. It's odd." Kanda explained vaguely.

"Well how do you feel around me? What does it feel like?" This made her curious. A guy had never felt anything for her before. Not like this. At least, she hoped she was right about this.

"I feel like…I wanna be near you, ya know? Like, I wanna get to know you better, get closer to you. I can't keep my eyes off you, I want to…" He sighed. "Iwannabeyourboyfriend." He said hurriedly. This was making his heart race unnaturally. He felt like such a girl right now. Riku stayed silent for a minute or two before breaking out into a smile, revealing her pearly white, ivory teeth.

"I'd like that." She said thoughtfully.

"Seriously?" This surprised him a bit. This girl had just met him no more than an hour ago! And she was saying 'yes' to him asking her out? Holy mother-of-Jesus tap dancing Christ!

"Why not? The sexiest guy I've ever met just asked me out, how could I say 'no' to that?" Riku beamed happily.

"You think I'm sexy?" He asked, dumbfounded. This ay just kept getting better and better!

"Duh. But I guess it wasn't your looks that first attracted me to you." She tilted her head a bit. A small breeze drifted around them, rustling her hair a little.

'She's so damn cute.' His thoughts strayed a bit. "They weren't?"

"Nope." She shook her head, moving a piece of hair out of her face.

"Then what was?" He honestly wanted to know this. Every time a girl told him she liked him, it was only because of his looks. But now, this girl was telling him that it wasn't his foreign beauty she was attracted to.

"Your personality. You're strong, you don't let people push you around or walk all over you. You know what you want, and you go for it." She smiled to herself as she wrapped her arms around her long, thin legs in thought. "You also aren't all bad. You may not look it, but I can tell you have a heart under all that ice." Kanda smiled a little and pulled her over to sit in between his legs, and wrapped his arms around her.

"You got all that from just a kiss?" He teased lightly. He could feel the sparks coursing through him, and he liked it. She blushed a tilted her head to face him.

"All that, and more." She whispered as he once again claimed her full lips.

~End of flashback~

Riku sighed as she spaced out dreamily. She didn't notice anything until she felt a pain of familiar arms wrap around her shoulders from behind. She looked at her boyfriend and gave him a quick kiss.

"Hey babe, you ready to get somethin' to eat?" He knew she was probably hungry by now and wanted food.

"You bet. Let's go." Riku stood up and grabbed her bag.

"Alright but I'm paying this time." He glanced at her a smirked upon seeing the puzzled look on her face.

"But you always pay." She argued as they walked through the school building.

"Correction, YOU always pay and never let ME pay for anything. Sometimes I wonder who's the boyfriend in this relationship." Kanda laughed. He loved this girl to death but he felt that she was constantly trying to make sure he stayed happy. How did he get so lucky? She pouted but didn't give in. sometimes she was just too stubborn for her own good.

"Whatever. I'm just tryin' to be a good girlfriend." She teased playfully.

"You're already an amazing girlfriend. You don't have to try so hard. Just be yourself." He said as they walked out the front entrance and down the street, towards the closest Subway.

"Well thank you for the compliment, and I'm always myself." She grabbed his hand and laced their fingers together as they walked. "It's that obvious huh? That I'm tryin' really hard?" She asked after a while.

"Just on rare occasions. And even then, only a little." He chuckled to himself. She gripped his hand and rested her head against his arm.

"It's just…I don't wanna lose you." She looked up at him with that look that always made him wanna jump her right then and there and hold her close. But he had years worth of self-control and managed to restrain himself.

"That's never gonna happen. I'll always be by your side." She giggled at that. He looked at her funky.

"Talk about cheesy lines. Where did you find that one, a girl's diary?" Hs smirked.

"In fact, yes. Yes I did. Yours." Upon hearing this, Riku went silent.

"Oh no you didn't." She whispered in disbelief.

"Oh yes I did." He moved away when she tried to punch his shoulder.

"You jerk! I told you not to touch it. That's it! You're sleeping on the couch tonight." She smiled as his expression feel. They reached the Subway and walked into the building. She ordered her food, Kanda staying oddly quiet the whole time.

"Yu-chan! Ri-chan! I didn't know you guys were here!" A sudden voice made her jump almost a full foot.

"Stop fucking calling me that, Baka Usagi!" Kanda had Mugen unsheathed a pressed against the redhead's neck.

"S-sorry, sorry, sorry! Don't kill me!" Lavi raised his hands and tried reasoning with the pissed samurai. He knew he was gonna die someday, but hell, it was NOT gonna be today.

"Lavi, knock it off. You're only making it worse on yourself ya know." Leanlee's scolding voice came from next to the auburn haired girl. She turned and smiled.

"Hey guys, what's up? I thought you had la cross practice today?" Riku asked absently as she moved Kanda aside and pulled Lavi by the ear.

"Ow, ow, ow, OW! Come on Ri-chan, let go! It hurts! What did I do?" Lavi exclaimed, tears rolling down his cheeks in mock-sadness.

"You annoyed me, now knock it off." Riku answered matter-of-factly, like it was the most obvious thing in the world, and let go of his ear after a little while. Lenalee giggled as he cupped his ear, making sure he wouldn't get pinched again. "Like I said, don't you guys have practice today?"

"Practice doesn't start till 2:30 today. It's Friday, remember?" Lenalee smiled up at her best friend. Riku facepalmed. Kanda immediately stepped back next to her and rubbed her forehead. (A/N: one of his many strange quirks.) She swatted his hand away playfully but kept a hold of it and relaced their fingers again, which had somehow come undone some time ago.

"That's right, I forgot. Well we gotta get home. We'll see you guys later." She smiled and both Lavi and Lenalee smiled back.

"Alright, see you tomorrow you two."

"Bye Ri-chan, Yu-chan!"

"What did I-" Kanda stepped forward, only to be pulled back and he stumbled a step or two. He turned and saw that Riku still had a hold of his hand, refusing to let him move.

"Don't even think about it. You can kill him later." His girlfriend spoke sternly and sighed as the young man finally finished filling her order. She quickly paid for it and they left. They walked in silence down the streets back to her place.
