When Sakura made it to class she was but a minute away from being late. When she opened the door all of the children froze. They had thought Kyoya was going to tell them to be quiet because they were disturbing other classes. But once they saw pink they sneered, except for Tsuna and Yamamoto. Sakura paid to mind to them as she went to her seat in the far corner of the room next to the window. After a few seconds the other students started talking again until the door opened once again. This time it was Kyoya. When he said, "Be quiet, your disturbing the other classes." all of the students stopped talking and went to their seats. After he said that Kyoya skimmed the heads of the students until he saw pink hair. "Sakura-chan?" Kyoya asked after seeing the pink head. Everyone looked at Sakura actually pitting her and wondering why he was calling her '-chan'.

Sakura's head turned towards the doorway seeing Kyoya. "Hm, Kyoya-kun?" Sakura questioned in return. The students noted that Sakura called Kyoya 'Kyoya-kun' and Kyoya called Sakura 'Sakura-chan'. They also noted that Sakura had no fear of Kyoya at all. They looked at each other for a few moments until the teacher came in. When he came in Kyoya went back to his normal mood and said, "As a teacher it is unacceptable to be late." The teacher nodded and went straight to his desk. After Kyoya left the room the teacher sighed and started teaching class.

At lunch Sakura went to a Sakura Tree and sat under it and started to eat her lunch. After a few minutes Tsuna came over and sat beside her and started to eat as well. Soon after they had started eating Tsuna asked the question that everyone had been wondering. "Sakura-chan, how come you and Hibari-san seem so close?" Tsuna asked. "Well, while I was running this morning I ran into Kyoya-kun. I said my apologies and then he told me that I should be heading to class. I nodded and started to head to class when he called my name and after I turned around he told me that I could call him Kyoya." Sakura replied. "You ran into Hibari-san in the halls? Are you okay?" Tsuna asked looking for injuries on Sakura. "No, why? And what are you doing Tsuna-kun?" Sakura asked questionably. "Haven't you heard the rumors and seen how tough he is?" Tsuna replied worriedly while sitting back down and looking at her. Sakura pondered for a moments and answered, "Nope." Tsuna sighed with a sweat drop and decided to tell her another day.

After they finished eating they started heading to class when Sakura remembered that she needed to get something from her locker. She told Tsuna to go on without her and that she'd catch up with him. While on her way to her locker a group of girls came up to her and asked why she was so formal with Kyoya. But before she could even answer they pushed her to the ground and started kicking her. Sakura started crying and started asking them to stop.

Kyoya was walking through the halls being sure that everyone was in class or at least heading to class since it was almost time for class. While he was walking he heard the muffled cries of a girl and so he started running to where the sound was coming from. When he got there he saw a group of five girls surrounding a figure on the ground and kicking it. He tried to see who the student was while he was running but when he saw a flash of pink, he instantly knew who it was, even if he didn't want to admit it. 'Please, please don't let that be Sakura-chan!' Kyoya thought as his fears were confirmed.

Once he finally got close enough he tackled the girls away from Sakura and then ran to her side asking if she was okay. Once he got a small nod he looked at the girls who were frozen in place and asked, "Why were you beating her?" Kyoya's voice was laced with ice as he asked that. The girls, being as stupid as they were, tried lying. "Sh-She a-attacked u-us f-first." They all said in unision. "I find that very unlikely." Kyoya said his voice still ice cold and he was now glaring at the girls while cradling Sakura in his arms. He eventually got them to tell him what had actually happened and once they did he had them follow him while he headed to the office, where they would be suspended.
