I need to do a disclaimer.. I guess.
I don't own KHR (obviously)
As I sat down, I tried to catch my breath. Running back was enough, but Hibari chasing me around the school was even more horrific. I must have ran over at least ten people. I sighed and dug through my bag until I found my notebook. I flipped open to a new page and started drawing some more nonsense. Eventually, I was able to finish an outline of a drawing until the second bell rang. Seconds later, the teacher walked in and set up his lesson for the day. I dug threw my bag again until I got my water bottle. Come to me, my waterrrr.. I thought. I started drinking milliseconds before the door slammed open, causing me to choke from shock on the water. I suddenly felt a hand on my arm, dragging me up from my seat.
"I'm taking her with me."
I opened my eyes to see Hibari holding onto my arm angrily before gathering my stuff and taking it and me with him.
"What do you want from me?" I groaned. From that point on, he said nothing but still kept his firm grip on my arm.
When we got to the reception room, he threw me in and slammed the door.
"Oww.." i complained as my rubbed my butt. There was definitely going to be a bruise there.
"Wah!" I yelped as Hibari picked me back up by my collar.
"Using vulgar language and hand signals, your having detention and I'm biting you to death." He narrowed his eyes at me. I shook my head rapidly, causing my black, pointy hair to hit his face multiple times. Letting go of my shirt, he brought his hand up to his eyes to rub out the itches and tickles the hair sent to him.
He glared at me even more. "You will pay for that, you know." He got his tonfas out, prepared to bite me to death.
"I don't want to fight you, Kyoya." I yawned. "Especially not you.. And I'm tired." I stared out the window and yawned again. My eyes made their way to his desk, I assumed, which was piled high with paperwork. I turned to him.
"Do you need help with that?" I pointed towards the stack of paper. He put his tonfas down and looked at the pile. Then he sighed. He went to his desk and started working with the pile. Thank god i dodged THAT fight.. I sighed.
I walked behind him as I watched his work progress slowly, it was almost aggravating. He read through papers and wrote down a list of what supplies the teachers needed. There was also permission that needed to be granted to do activities that required an extra room and the permission slips of people who he needed to check through to see if they were capable and deserved the fun activity. He had a school roster of EVERY student's name and tallies and x's next to some. "What are the tallies and x's supposed to mean?" I asked.
"Tallies are the times I've bitten them to death. X is detention." I twitched.
"You know you bite them to death for almost no reason sometimes." I said. He looked up at me with cold steely eyes.
"Leave. You have no reason to be here at this moment." He continued with his work.
"Why won't you let me help you? I've watched you for long enough to know how this works." He looked at me, then back at the paperwork.
"Fine. Then show me what you are capable of, Herbivore." He got up from his chair
"I hope you burn in hell." I mumbled. i worked through a sheet of paper, listing what the teacher needed onto the list he had. When I got to the signature, I stopped.
"Should I write my signature or should you write yours? Or do want me to forge yours or something?" I asked.
"Forging is a crime, so I suggest for you to sign it, or get bitten to death."
"Orr. you can sign. But, I'll just sign." I signed the bottom of the paper and looked up at him. "Stop hovering over me like you're about to kill me. Did I do everything right?" Angrily, he took a step back and nodded.
"Do one with permission slips." He nodded towards another stack of paper, about the same size of the other. I grabbed one and took a look at the names and the roster.
"How do I know if they have permission?"
"Ten tallies and under is okay. 4 x's and under is passable too. If they have 8-10 tallies and 3-4 x's, the permission is denied."
"what?"
"If they have 7 tallies and 2 x's, it's okay. 8 to 3 is not okay. 9 to 2 is okay. 7 to 4 is okay. Do you understand now?" He seemed tired of the explanations. "Make sure you list what the teachers need and who cannot attend activities. If students are in the same class, write those on one, while others on another paper. And write the teacher's name on each sheet and next to each supply."
"Yes sir." I said sarcastically.
I jumped a little from the bell ringing. It seemed louder than usual.
"Why's the bell so loud in here?" I complained.
"I get caught up in work. Sometimes I don't hear it." He walked away.
"Eh.. What are you going to do now?" I asked.
He took another glance at me before saying, "Nap.." He yawned as he was about to sit on the couch until the door burst open. It startled both hibari and I as we looked at the door.
"KY-" The tall man stopped abruptly. "Where's.. Oh, there you are. Kyo-san! There's a fight in the hallway. I think it's getting pretty bad!" He shouted.
"Lousy.." Hibari groaned. He grabbed his jacket as he was walking out, leaving me with a frantic man who looked funny with his haircut. I felt like I could just rip off the hair anytime I wanted to. I grinned, trying to suppress my laugh.
"My name is Kusakabe Tetsuya." He said suddenly.
I looked at him. "Hi. I'm Sawada Tsukiko.. You may call me whatever you'd like."
"You're Tsukiko?" He looked surprised. I blinked in confusion. "Yes..?"
"Ah.. Kyo-san kept ordering me to bring up background information of you today." He said.
"Pfft.. STALKER much?" I muttered. He chuckled with me.
"I think he just wanted to get more information on you, though with the way I say it, it really does sound like he's stalking you."
"I should just call him Stalker from now on." I laughed.
"I don't think he would like that, Tsukiko." He said, trying not to laugh.
"Is he always that busy?" I asked. "He was just about to take a nap, too. I fell kind of bad for him, even though he chose to be like this.. He does get enough sleep right? He seems so busy and whatnot."
"Yes, he is fine. He sleeps a lot, actually."
"I see.. Oh! I'm sorry, I'm doing some paperwork for him, so I'll talk to you later, Kusakabe."
"My apologies.. I guess I'll go see how he's doing and if he needs help or anything. Good luck with the paperwork." We said goodbye to each other as he walked out the door, shutting me into a quiet and peaceful room. I sighed as I started working.
Moments later, I heard a soft tapping on the window near me. I looked behind to see a small fluffy yellow bird flapping its wings outside, most likely seeking entrance. I opened the window, letting it flutter in and land on the desk I was working on just seconds ago.
"Aww. Aren't you se adorablee~~" I rubbed its head.
"Hibari! Hibari!" It chirped.
"Hibari?" I tilted my head. "Ah.. Stalker has a pet like you? I wonder if he has a soft spot for little animals~." I giggled to myself as it took flight again, flying to the top of my head and resting.
"So cuute~~~" I smiled as I felt it settle. "Well, time to get back to work." I yawned. I was almost done with both piles. I looked at my watch.
Where is he? I wondered. It was a whole period ago when he left. He's probably sleeping..
Hibari's POV
Ding Dong~~ Ding Dong~~~
I opened my eyes to see a clear blue sky. My eyes widened as I sat up abruptly. I took a look around to see no fluffy bird waking him up. He was supposed to wake me up forty minutes ago, as I trained him. I thought. I shook my head in anger. He's just a bird, don't get too mad at him. I walked up, back to the reception room biting some herbivore to death on the way there. One more tally.. Gokudera Hayato.. The usual. He grit his teeth in annoyance as he entered the reception room.
Creak...
Third POV
Across the room, Hibari was staring at a sleeping girl who had a bird on her head and a pen in her hand. He walked over silently to see that the pile made up a few sheets left. He took a look at the paper and twitched. She was drawing? He thought. He pulled his hair back angrily, went behind the desk and picked her up. Luckily, she was a deep sleeper, unlike her so called Stalker. He then set her down and covered her with his jacket, leaving her there as he finished up his work. He looked at the drawing she drew, which seemed like an unfinished picture of some boy who he could not recognize because of his faceless face. (If that makes sense) Putting it to the side, he finished through the last of it. He read through the list of needs and students. It seems she was useful after all. Though she needs to work on her signature. Hibari thought as he looked at the scribbles on the lines that could barely pass as any kind of human or extraterrestrial language. Maybe I should get her a stamp.. Hibari looked back at her, still sleeping. He looked at the paper, which had the drawing and looked through the rest of her notebook. There were other notebooks near it. One was labeled 'Tsukiko' and the other 'Liberta'. Deciding to figure out what it meant later, he continued with the notebook he first picked up. He was surprised at how she could draw. Most drawings were some kind of figure and others, just some doodles of little pictures. There were a few pages of nonsense. Some had little comics on them while others had completely different kinds of drawings. He flipped another page when a few pictures came out. He looked at them and saw they were old pictures of them when they were children and when he was still an Herbivore. There were many in the bundle and he took one, putting it in his jacket pocket. Then he saw another one, with others following it. They were pictures of her with another boy, most likely around the same age as her with spiky black hair. His eyes were a deep red and he had a huge grin on his face. The two looked the same, with black hair and red eyes. They almost looked like twins, except Tsukiko's hair was long and straight while the other's short and messy.
Tsukiko's POV
I woke up as I heard papers ruffle and move. Slowly I opened my eyes to see that Hibari was looking through a little bundle of papers. I was about to close my eyes again until I saw a flash from them. Shiny paper? Curious, I woke up. "Kyoya?" I called out. He looked up to me.
"Were you adopted?"
"What?"
"You don't look anything like your brother."
"N-no.. I'm not adopted. I've asked my mother and father already. Unless they've lied to me. So, there really isn't proof of Tsuna being my brother. Why?"
He faced a picture towards me. Since my eyes were still cloudy from waking up, I had to get up to see the picture clearly. Squinting, I made out the photo to be one in my journal. My journal? No.. "Were you looking through my journal?" I asked. He nodded in reply. "Your pictures are actually quite good."
"Why were you looking through my stuff? You have no right." I glared at him.
"What? Don't tell me you've become one of those girls. The kind who won't let anyone touch their stuff."
"That is not true, and this is personal. Put those pictures back and give it to me." I extended my hand towards him, impatient. Seconds passed and we held our positions staring at each other.
"Tch." I scoffed and starting gathering everything of mine. After I was done, I slung my bag over my shoulder and walked towards the door.
"Day's almost over. You might as well stay here and wait until the end."
I turned my head until I saw him in the corner of my eye. "I'm not staying here with you." I growled and left.
Outside, I checked my watch. There were ten minutes left until afternoon announcements and dismissal. I walked around the classes I had to gather up homework and letters I needed from teachers until I got back to my homeroom. I sat down, exhausted. Five minutes left. Seconds later, a group of boys walked in. The nudged each other and nodded towards an area somewhere behind me. After they passed, I turned as saw they were signaling towards Tsuna. They started talking to him and laughed. I sighed in relief as I turned back to the clock. Soon, I heard Gokudera shouting something that sounded like, "Bastards! Don't make fun of the tenth! I'll blow your sorry asses away!" Wowww.. Hibari was right. I thought. I got up and walked towards them.
"Tsuna is there something wrong?" I asked. I glared at the group of unknown boys. They sneered at me in return.
"Tch. There's nothing some girl can do about it." Some guy said.
"Tsk.. You're kidding, right?" I grinned and turned to them.
"Yeah. Especially not Dame-Tsuna's sister. I bet stupidity runs in the family." They laughed.
"Haha.. There's also strength that runs in the family. Strength that can beat the filthy shit out of you."
"Are you suggesting that you or Tsuna will 'beat the filthy shit out of me?'" He laughed loudly again. "Don't even joke about that!"
"O-" I was cut off short by the announcements. "Hn.. Meet me at the soccer field, right after. Even if there are people there." I turned back and got my belongings.
Announcements... blah blah blah blah blah...
The hallways were flooded as I walked down them.
"Tsukiko! Wa- Sorry! Wait!" I turned to see Tsuna being engulfed by a sea of boys and girls running him over. I grabbed his hand and kept walking outside until we were away from a mob.
"What did you need?"
"You should just go home.. Leave the fight! Please!" He begged. "I don't want you to get hurt."
"Tsuna.. You realize that this is probably why you get picked on a lot, right?"
"Eh?"
"I picked the fight, and I'm continuing it until the end. Like I would run away now." Minutes passed. I started tapping my foot. "Annnyyy day now.. This is the soccer field right?"
"..Yes.." Tsuna replied.
"Do you see them?"
"No..? Let's go home now! Please?" He clung onto my shirt and looked up at me.
"N-no! And get off!" I shook him off.
"Oh? Even your sister hates you, DAME-Tsuna. Not exactly that surprising, actually."
"Tsuna.. You can leave. Now. I'll deal with them."
"B-But.."
"Go. I don't want you to see." I grinned at him and dug through my bag.
"What are you looking for?" Tsuna asked.
"Nn... Ah. There it is." I took out a pocketknife.
"Th- Put that away, Tsukiko!"
"Naahh..."
"Wow. So you've got a weapon? Like that's fair." The boy said.
"Hm? Wasn't I just 'some girl'? If I was, then I'd need protection against guys like you, right? But, since you three seem so weak, You can have it." I threw the pocketknife towards the leader, as I would've guessed.
"You'll regret that, girl." He lunged at me with incredibly SLOW speed, giving me more than enough time to sidestep out of his way and drill my knee into his guts. He fell to his knees coughing and holding his stomach.
"Already? You're kidding, right? You're acting all high and mighty, but you're just all mouth. You can't beat a girl, and that's pathetic. To you, I'm just a mere girl who you thought couldn't fight, but in reality, you stood no chance. If you want to bully someone correctly, learn how to fight a little." I stepped onto his head, pushing him down onto the floor face first.
"Y-you bitch!" One of his lackeys came after me, bare handed. I evaded his attack, but he managed to plant a weaker attack onto my right arm.
"Wow. You're smarter than your leader. I've underestimated you. Just you, at least. That guy," I pointed to the leader, "is not worth all of your troubles. But.. Do you still stand a chance?" I bent down and picked up the pocketknife and threw it at him. "You can use it, if you'd like."
"As if I'd use a weapon! I'll beat you like a man!"
"You're 15. You still have about six or seven years until you're an actual man. Right now, you're a teenager, despite what you think."
"HIIEE!" I heard Tsuna scream.
"Tsuna! I thought you alr- nngh." I grunted in pain as I saw a tonfa joining with my stomach. "K-Kyoya." I winced.
"What do you think you herbivores are doing?"
"Keh." I grit my teeth. "What do you think?" I pointed towards the leader's limp and unconscious body.
"You're just trouble, aren't you, Tsuki."
"I could say the same for you, Kyoya. All you do is beat students up."
"You're in no position to be saying that to me after you just beat up a student. And, I am disciplining them, not for my own amusement."
"Not for your own amusement? By now, I would know that you are just a sadist."
Hibari narrowed his eyes. "You are coming with me."
"Wh-"
"Now." Hibari demanded.
"No." I grit my teeth. "Let's go, Tsuna." I grabbed his hand and walked back home.
