Recap:

"I don't like 'new'..." Kimiko grumbled, walking towards the entrance of the building

Aiyako frowned, understanding exactly how she felt. "Nobody really does, but it's something we're going to have to get used to..."

"Whatever, let's go."

-

"Hey...Killua-sama, can I speak with you for a moment?" A female voice spoke up from behind them, making the hair on the back of Killua's neck stand

"No, don't have time." Killua waved the person away but they were stuck to the spot

She crossed into his pesonal space and wrapped her fingers over his arm "I'm sure you could make some time for me."

"Miyabi..."

"We would love if you spend more time with us, but I'm sure the other girls would understand if I took a little of you for myself."

The girl, known as Miyabi, practically backed him into a corner as she barraged him with touching and flirting, finally he had enough.

"Get off of me..." Killua yanks his arm from the girl's grasp, his aura morphing into some what more threatening feel.

"Your little 'hard-to-get' act isn't going to work on me...I'm serious about you."

"Yeah, like everyone else is apparenty..." Killua inched his way out of the corner bit by bit 'This girl is so stubborn...the only thing left to do is...' "RUN!"

Killua took off, through the door and out into the hall. He thought he was home free, until something hit him, hard. He looked up to see a pained teen, much shorter than him, and her tall friend with a worried look. "What are you guys staring at?" He snarled.

"You really think running down hallways is safe, don't you?" The short one hissed at him as Gon handed her a handkerchief. Attempting to wipe off the hot beverage from her uniform, she uttered one last thing, "Ouch..."

"Kimi, are you alright?" Aiyako just stood there with a stoic expression but, genuine concern in her voice, not making any move to help her

"Ha, well, it's the best way to avoid such sweet young girls such as yourself." He teased in sarcasm, amused by her reaction

"Killua, be nice." Gon frowned

Killua, slightly offended, just huffed in reply.

"Yeah, sorry. That little flirtatious act you got going on there isn't going to work on me mister, I demand an apology!" Kimiko hissed, akin to a territorial feline

"Why?" He question, earning an elbow in the ribs from his best friend. "Oh, wow. Okay, fine, I'm sorry."

"Say it like you mean it." Gon furrowed his eyes at the albino in frustration

"Fine! I'm sorry...Beautiful." Killua winked, showing the player side of him as usual, as he stuffed his left hand in his pocket

"So...tell me, why did you come bolting out of the cafeteria like a bullet?" Aiyako stepped in, genuinely curious

"Killua-sama, who are these girls...?" A tall girl, slightly taller than Killua, came out of nowhere and slipped her arm in his "Are you cheating on me~?" She pouted

"How can I cheat if we're not-"

An evil shine showed in Kimiko's eyes as she waved to them "Sorry, don't want to be late for our first day!" She grabbed Aiyako's hand and quickly marched her way to the classroom

"You do realize we just got here, correct?"

"Correcto!"

"You do realize it was just lunch, right?"

"Right again!"

"And you do realize lunch isn't over, yeah?"

"Yep!"

"I thought you said you were hungry." Aiyako mumbled, slight surprise in her voice as her face remained stoic

Once she got there, her eyes landed on a certain blonde sitting in the teacher's chair reading a book. "Are you the..." She was at a loss for words as she approached. Isn't he, you know...a little young to be teaching a whole class of rowdy teens?

"Teacher? No." He closed his book and looked up "I do not hold any type of authority on this floor, I was merely watching the classroom while Wing-san was out, that's all."

Intrigued with the odd boy, Kimiko quickly held out her hand "The name's Kimiko, may I ask yours?"

"I don't see why not..." He took her hand hesitantly, giving it a quick shake before dropping his arm back by his side "It's Kurapika."

"Alright, this is Aiya-" Kimiko looked behind her, surprised to see her best friend no where to be found "A-Ah...well, that was Aiyako. She's really shy." She explained nervously

The blonde just nodded, giving a faint smile "Well, I really must be going, it appears class will be starting shortly." He quickly bowed and exited

"Alright! See ya 'round!" She waved, spinning around to find Aiyako sitting on her desk. Silence dawned in the room as Kimiko walked closer to her, with a deadpanned expression. "What was up with that?"

"W-What was what?"

"Don't play coy with me, you made me look like a fool." She pouted

Aiyako only blinked, tilting her head. "Since when do you care what you look like?"

"Since a cute guy was involved!" Kimiko barked

"Ah..." Finally understanding, Aiyako nodded. "Well, I apologize. But, in my defense, I never actually left the room..."

Kimiko sweatdropped. "O-Oh..."

Before Kimiko could utter anything else, the bell rang and students came shuffling in. Muttering a small 'Bye', Aiyako slipped passed the crowd and walked to her assigned class on the 3rd floor.

Rowdy voices filled the air as shouts and insults started spitting at each other, along with laughter and...spitballs. Groaning, Kimiko leaned against the wall by the front of the class in order to stay out of the way of oncoming wads.

"Alright! Quiet everyone!" In came the teacher, motioning everyone to take their seats.

And everyone obeyed. Immediately. And nothing but a thick silence enveloped everyone in the room.

"Everyone..." Wing quickly closed the door and hurried over to his desk "As I'm sure you're aware of, we have a new student. She showed up rather late, so we couldn't do introductions this morning. So let's get that out of the way now so we don't have to worry about it tomorrow." He spoke with familiarity, showing a calm and casual side to the class, unlike Kimiko who seemed extremely tense and disappointed "Class, this is Kimiko Ikeda, your new classmate. And I expect a high level of respect for your new comrade." Before anybody could question him, he quickly continued. "That basically means: Make her feel welcome." And they all nodded in understanding.

"Hey, everyone~" Kimiko waved, no longer leaning against the wall

Wing looked at everyone with an expecting look and they all quickly mumbled in a monotone, "Hello.."

"Close enough." Wing sighed, motioning to the seat in the back

Knowing what he meant, Kimiko quickly rushed to the back, coincidentally being seated next to her sworn enemy. "Ugh..." She groaned and looked the other way

"Nice to see you, too." He rolled his eyes, doing the same

"You don't mean that, do you?" She scoffed

He smiled at that, finding it slightly amusing. "No, ma'am, I do not."
