Ok I know he was only in around 5 chapters total. But man I fell in love with this character and I had to write something about him!
"Good Day Class." The homeroom teacher announced over the hubbub. Konta raised his eyes from his twiddling thumbs, as the teacher's tone indicated something was going to follow.
"Today a young lady from class 1-D is transferring to our class." After the hum of wonder passed he turned to the door. "Lepus-san, come in please."
The sound of the door sliding open echoed though the now quiet room. There was rarely transfers between classes, normally they remained the same from kindergarten, except for extreme circumstances; naturally the class was interested, Konta included, going as far as to sit up straight and lean around the boy in front of him.
Long, but graceful feet walked in, attached to long, powerful looking legs. A slim torso covered by the S.M female uniform. A childlike face framed by a pixie cut of white hair; long folded over rabbit ears protruding from the strands.
With large round eyes she looked at the class of monsters before her.
The teacher looked at her with a slightly uneasy smile. "Lepus-san is from the snowshoe hare clan. Please treat her with kindness."
It took a great deal of concentration for Konta to absorb what the teacher was saying. His eyes were fixed on her every movement. Every twitch of her soft looking fingers, every bat of her long eyelashes; was eternally burned into his psyche. His heart leapt into his throat. He wanted to defend and protect her innocent naivete. But most of all it seemed, he wanted...
To eat her.
Flushing, Konta shook his head clear of the disturbing thought. He looked about the class, and he wasn't sure why, but he was irritated that many of the other demons, both male and female had the same carnivorous look on their faces. But it was to be expected, she was a rabbit; prey for most, feared by none.
She kept her eyes on the floor and she walked to the only empty desk, in the right corner, three rows across and two desks back from him. The minute she sat down, the teacher announced the beginning of class and their attention was drawn to the board. Not Konta, with his (albeit limited) fox magic, his pen wrote down what the teacher said automatically. His eyes continued to rest on her.
Not that she was doing anything out of the ordinary, she had no unique magic (not that she was using any) and rabbit magic is pretty general: increased speed, jumping ability, and reflexes. Each rabbit clan has it's own specific one on top of the general abilities; the Lepus clan, if he remembered correctly, had an ability much like the chameleon clans, camouflage, essentially they can turn invisible to the untrained eye. So she really had no unique qualities to her at all, other than she was simply a herbivore, which is slightly rare in S.M.
But even in doing nothing, she mesmerized Konta. The way she delicately held her pencil and every once in a while bounced the end on her lip. The adorable way she would look at the board, read the notes with her bottom lip between her teeth and then hunch over her own notes again. And every once in a while, out of habit it seemed, she brushed nearly non-existent hair behind her ear, letting his eyes feast on her slender wrists.
She was cuter than Hiyo-chan.
His self writing pen dropped in his surprise. Had that really passed through his head? That couldn't be! He couldn't be that easily swayed! He loved Hiyo! He wanted to marry Hiyo! He wanted to steal her away from that crow so he could be with her forever and ever!
Resolve restrengthened he shook his head and the pen began writing again; turning away from the girl he looked up to the blackboard, but soon lost track of time.
The first period teacher called for group work, oh dreaded group work. Konta wasn't smart enough to be singled out, nor was he friends enough with anyone to be singled out. So in the end, just like always he was the single one out.
So as the rest of the class went to the teacher's desk to pick up the assignment, he waited patiently at his desk for the storm to pass. Only, they didn't go directly to the teacher's desk, they surrounded Lepus-san.
They all called her name, asking her what her first name was, if they could call her by it. If she wanted to be their new best friend or girlfriend. Why was she transferred. To be in their group. She simply sat in her desk with her hair covering her eyes. Then a girl grabbed her arm in a possessive stance.
Lepus-san swung her head up and shoved the girl touching her to the ground with a loud 'NO'. Her actions and shout demanded the attention of the entire class, stunning them to silence. "You will listen to me. All of you!" Her threatening voice shrunk the students back to their seats, "I will say this only once."
Despite her harsh words and the downright murderous look on her face, Konta flushed. Her voice... it was so angelic; melodious.
She continued after staring the classroom down. "My first name is Shurui. No one may call me by it. The reason I was transferred into this class, is because I nearly killed one of my classmates who tried to eat me. This time I will not wait for such an instance to occur. You will all leave me alone. Do not try to talk to me, do not try and 'make friends' with me, just leave me to my studies and we will get along just fine."
The class remained completely silent, stunned by her blunt and to the point words; even the teacher was dumbfounded. The only sound in the room were the echos of her large shoes against the tiled floor to get the assignment and, Konta was sure, the throbbing of his heart.
