Prologue

They Should Have Known

He should have known from the beginning: she was trouble. Just the way her large violet eyes widened at every little new thing, the way she grinned care freely. The way she talked, moved, and acted. Just the way she had bowed in front of the class, introducing herself, just the way how she looked so delicate but had a sharp tongue; he should have known. He should have known, being the child prodigy, that one look into those amethyst eyes would mean trouble, but he snuck a look at her while she wasn't paying attention. Who said he was perfect?


She should have known from the beginning: he was trouble. What was it WITH him and his ARROGANT behavior? He hadn't even glance at her as she took the only empty seat; the one next to him. Was it weird that her eyes kept on going back to his form; his shock of white hair, those commanding, insolent green eyes? "Looks like we're desk partners," she had said when she had sat down next to him. "Kuchiki Rukia, nice to meet you!" she had said, smiling, holding out a hand for him to shake.

Only thing he had done was glare at her out of the corner of his peripheral vision, then mutter, "Hmph." Rukia slowly placed her hand back where it belonged. She had been raised in a strict, formal society, handshakes and formality was her norm. She had dealt with some ruffians, but this-BOY! He wasn't taller than her by much at all, but how dare he look down at her like that!


"OI! You….you!" she shook with anger, immediately kicking him in the face, making him and his chair clatter to the floor. He looked shocked, she allowed herself a smirk. The surprised classmates looked up, and murmurs swept through the room. "Don't be rude," she said to him sweetly. He scowled, his shapely white eyebrows clashing together, and Rukia swore she heard a low growl coming from his throat. He gave her an icy glare, everyone in the classroom froze at his glower, but it seemed to have no effect of his main target: Rukia. She glared right back at him, matching his icy gaze with her own. "Ohh…what'sa matter, little Dragon-kun, did that hurt?" she said mockingly, brushing her skirt primly and sitting down.

He was infuriated, he spat out his words contemptuously. "What the hell do you think you're doing?" he hissed, which resorted to an all-out shouting match, the teacher looking helpless as the forces of Yin and Yang clashed fiercely between the short teenagers.

"I HATE HIM/HER!!!!" their mental screams were heard as if it was said outloud.
