Mukkura: So, I do hope you guys read I-pin's and Ryohei's side, first chapter. That way you can know what happens before this, but it's not really important. Anyways...we updated pretty fast this time huh? :D all my readers should know how slow I can be, well, having a partner asking when we're going to work on the fanfic, really helps. I would write my other ones faster if people actually told me they wanted to read it...though...you guys do and sometimes I simply forget;; Sorry! I'll be sure to work on my other ones now, but please tell us what you think of this chapter, we really don't know what the plot is so we're kinda just going along with whatever comes to mind? I'll think of a story line, we have one, just very vague...
"I-pin! I need help!" Fuuta runs into I-pin's classroom during lunch time, catching her before she had left, tears were in his eyes.
"Fuuta! What's wrong?" I-pin's concern for her friend was clear.
"It's terrible I-pin! What am I going to do? I'm scared..."
"What's wrong?" I-pin puts her hands on her shaking friend and holds him still, "Tell me what's wrong? Is someone threatening you again? Do you need me to beat someone up for you? You need to calm down and tell me what's wrong...alright?" Fuuta nods and starts to calm down, "Alright...now tell me...what's wrong? Why are you scared?"
"I..."Fuuta pulls out a folded piece of paper and holds it out for his Chinese friend.
I-pin takes it and unfolds it, "...Fuuta..."
"Y...yes?"
"WHY ARE YOU FAILING MATH?" I-pin throws the paper down onto her table, "Didn't you learn ANYTHING from our study group last week?"
"I'm sorry I-pin!" Fuuta instinctively covers his head. He shakes, I-pin's gotten a lot more violent since him...I just wanted help. Fuuta twitches when he felt something soft hit his head and peeks from behind his arms to see that I-pin had rolled up his paper and hit him with it.
"What am I going to do with you?" I-pin sighs, "We were going to pass college together remember?"
"I know." Fuuta whimpers, "But Calculus is too hard for me."
Ryohei peeks into the room slowly, eyes wide. "Everything okay in here?" He waves hello to I-pin and Fuuta, walking up to them. Looking back and forth between them, he's unsure of what to make of I-pin's concerned frown or Fuuta cowering from her. "Is... everything okay?"
"Ryohei-nii!" Fuuta barely hesitates to run and hide behind the large male, "I-pin's mad at me for not passing Calculus, can't you tell her how hard it is?" Fuuta whimpers.
"What are you talking abotu Fuuta? It's easy!" I-pin sighs, obviously frustrated.
Ryohei looks around, too many things to say coming to him all at once. "Uhh... you didn't pass? I guess it is sorta difficult..." Ryohei confusedly tries to get Fuuta from behind him and settle I-pin down at the same time, afraid of making things worse on either front.
"But...it's only easy cause you're so smart." Fuuta whimpers, pouting at her.
"W-what? I am not!" I-pin blushes, "If you just took the time to actually study..."
"I try! It's not easy!" Fuuta's eyes start to tear up again, "Can't you just help me?"
I-pin twitches slightly staring at her childhood friend who was giving her the puppy dog eyes before finally
sighing, giving into her friend, "Fine...I'll help you again. Ryohei, could you get me an extra book from the math class? Maybe you should study with us."
Ryohei nods and runs off, coming back not long after with the book in hand. "Got it," he says as he pulls a desk up to them.
"Alright," I-pin opens the book, "What don't you get?" Fuuta flips through the page and points to one of them, "Okay, so first what you have to do is-" The door opens suddenly, "Ah..." I-pin stands up quickly, "H..Hibari..." Fuuta turns around only to look up to the tall male standing over him, "Kyoya...w..what are you doing here?" Hibari grabs her arm and starts to drag her out of the room, "W...wait...I have to help Fuuta! Hi...Hibari!" He doesn't seem to hear her as he continues dragging her, "HIBARI! Stop it!" His grip only tightens around her thin arm, making her flinch and attempt to pull away from him again, "Ow..." Hibari hears her now and lets go of her arm.
"I..I-pin-chan..."Fuuta runs up to the door to see I-pin holding her arm, "I-pin-chan, are you okay?" Fuuta steps forward, but stops when he realizes that Hibari was giving him the death glare.
Ryohei, now standing, doesn't move from the desk. His grip tightens around the sides of the table, his face red with anger. "One punch. One punch and I'd knock half of your teeth out. Hell, I'd punch you a hundred times." He flinches, almost letting himself move forward, but restrains himself, knowing a fight would only make things worse. Keeping as calm as one in rage can be, he walks to the door and waits for the right time to speak, wishing he could bring I-pin into the room away from that monster.
Hibari twitches slightly when I-pin looks up at him with hurt filled eyes. He opens his mouth to say something but clenches his fists and instead of saying what he felt he mumbles, "Get up...we're going to my room..." He turns slightly, looking at her and waiting until she gets up.
"I-pin-chan..." Fuuta whimpers softly, his voice filled with worry.
I-pin turns to Fuuta, a sad smile on her face, "Sorry Fuuta...I'll help you another time alright?" She gets up, dusts herself off quickly before bowing apologetically at Fuuta and quickly following the leader of the disciplinary committee down the hallway.
Fuuta smiles sadly at her while he watches her walk away. He waits until he couldn't see her anymore before sighing, "I wonder what made Hibari-san do that...he's usually gentle when it comes to I-pin-chan...I hope she can get him out of that bad mood..."
Ryohei looks at Fuuta, unsure of how to respond. Is this my fault? Did he do that because I was here? Why didn't I stop her? Why didn't I stop HIM? "Fuuta, I..." the words came, quiet and full of sadness. He shook his head, not sure how to comfort him. I want to go there right now and take her away. The three of us just wanted to study... God, I...
Fuuta takes out his cell phone, looks up a contact and calls it, holding it up to his ear, "...R..Reborn? Hibari's in a foul mood again...he has I-pin...what should we do? …...are you sure?...but..."Fuuta sighs, "Alright...but can you at least get Fon or something to come? ….because...last time...I know...but...please? …..thanks Reborn...I'll see you later then..." Fuuta hangs up and puts his phone away, looking at Ryohei, "Sorry about this Sawagawa-kun...I-pin will be fine, I'm sure Hibari-san won't do anything harmful to I-pin, she's the only one he's ever cared about..." Fuuta walks over to I-pin's desk and sits down, staring at the Calculus book before him. He sighs, gives up and lays his head on the desk.
Mukkura: I have to say that I'm sorry that I made Hibari such a bad guy ;~; I love the guy, really. I can relate to him in more ways then I would like; If this makes you hate Hibari, don't feel too bad, Arano here started hating him halfway through it cause of...well, you know. I'll explain why Hibari does that in I-pin's side of the story. Once again, I had fun writing this and I can't wait till next time. I hope you readers like it as well :]
Arano: Gahhh, Hibari is one of my favorite characters, but writing this from Ryohei's perspective, I can't help but think he's a jerk for this. Let's see where it goes though.
