(Author: fried prawn head? o.O)
Last chapter:
Rumiko growled, "My plans of avoiding him have just been flushed down the toilet thank you very much Mr. Piece of Paper." As bad as she felt for her friend, Tatsuki couldn't help but giggle.

The siren went, a sense of dread immediately took hold of her and she sluggishly got her stuff together and headed for the reception room, her body felt like lead. This isn't right, she thought to herself, is that guy really THIS intimidating? She gathered herself together and almost
marched to the reception room. As she walked she recounted her day, it had gone by quite well with only one single sighting of Hibari, but that was at lunch when he seemed to be asleep on the rooftop. She went back the way she came straight way, and found the right roof were her friends were having fun. Nobody seemed to notice that she was a bit jittery, she was thankful for that.
Finally reaching her destination she half hesitated before pulling the door open. It was deserted.
"Oh so he tells ME to come immediately when HE'S not even here," she grumbled to herself, "Douc bag." Something like a stick hit her hard, pain coursed through her body from her shoulder, the unexpected surprise winded her and she fell to the floor.
"Hmmm I was only going to make you mop up this floor, but thanks to yourself, I think you should do the entire building." A low and smooth voice came from behind her. It was him. Before she could upright herself, she heard his footsteps walk away. She gave a squinty eyes expression (i.e.: =.=), as she came to face his back, he turned around and said in a slightly bored tone:
"If you try to run away, I will hunt you down. And then you can repeat this punishment for a month." Rumiko cringed, cold bastard, she thought. As his footsteps faded away, she spotted a mop in a bucket with cleaning detergents lying against the wall. Sighing to herself she lugged the gear to the top floor and began to work. There were three levels to the building and she guessed it would take about an hour to finish one floor.

Hibari had walked down to the second floor of the building and found a classroom near the stairwell and decided to take a nap. Hibird was snuggled in his hair, also asleep. He heard Rumiko's ringtone echoing through the building, and heard her speak.
"Moshi Moshi," she had started in a loud cheerful tone, and then it turned worried,"Kaito are you ok? Huh? Oh my god, where are you?!" She paused, "Uhhh I'll come right over stay where you are ok?" He had heard the phone click and then a profane word. What a troublesome child, did she really want to do this everyday for a month? Oh well, he thought. He got up and headed for the door, he heard the echoing of her running as they got closer, he opened the door just as she began climbing down the stairs.
"Where do you think you are going?" he enquired coolly. She stared at him for a moment, annoyance crossed her face like a cloud blocking out the sun. Her brows furrowed and her mouth tightened.
"Go away." She replied coldly before jumping down the flight of stairs and racing off out of the school. Hibari followed in pursuit. This girl could run fast, I wonder if she could fight?
She was now at least a whole street in front of him, as she turned a corner she slowed down. He walked the rest of the way.
_ _ _
As Rumiko turned the corner, she saw Kaito pushed up against the wall, his school bag lying a few feet away. He was all crumpled up and dirtied. She then spotted three beefy looking guys, all about two feet taller than her little brother.
"Oi jerk face!" she yelled at none of them in particular, the three turned around and laughed at her.
"Ahahahahahahahhahaha! So this is your great saviour brat? What a joke." One of the thugs said. Not liking to be belittled or having anyone beat up her little brother, Rumiko ran up to the guy who had just spoken and launched a powerful sidekick, aimed straight at the jerk's crotch. With surprising force, the kick made the guy stumble a few meters before rolling onto the floor groaning in agony. Proud with her work she turned around and faced the other two.
"Oh fuck you bitch." One of the now turned duo spat, they both split, one on her right and one on her left. She waited until they were both within range and took up her stance. But the duo acted with surprising speed, from her side one went behind her and grabbed her from behind, the other in front, getting ready to punch. She swore to herself for being too confident and underestimating these guys as boneheads. She closed her eyes as the blow struck her in the stomach, the air was knocked out of her and tears welled in her eyes. She gritted her teeth and used all her strength to get away form her captor, she succeeded and took a few steps back, clutching her stomach. The duo both came in on her at the same time, she hadn't had enough time to recover and could only close her eyes and duck. Whatever she was expecting didn't come. Instead, she heard metal connecting painfully with flesh and then two thuds and howls of agony as two bodies hit the ground. She opened her eyes; still crouching she saw a pair of insanely polished shoes and black pants standing a few meters in front of her. Her attackers were lying a few meters further than that, she then looked up at the person in black pants, a black jacket hung loosely at his shoulders and a red and yellow armband surrounded his right arm. A tuft of black, mop-like hair blew around with the wind. Her surprise didn't last long, as Kaito hurried to her side and helped her up. She looked up and saw a faint purple bruise around his left eye.
"Unless you want to go to school looking like a panda tomorrow, I'm going to have to put makeup on that black eye of yours." She said in a relieved tone. Kaito's expression turned from worry to horror.
"You evil witch!" He screamed, Rumiko patted his hair and replied finishing with a smile:
"This is what your big sister's is for." He snorted and then pouted before looked slyly at Hibari.
"You're so weak, your boyfriend had to save you from those pathetic guys." He teased.
"Oi you're the one who got beaten up by…HE IS NOT MY BOYFRIEND! WHY WOULD YOU SAY SUCH A REDICULOUS AND INSULTING THING?!" she exploded, that made Kaito burst out laughing spasmodically, the girl glared at him like she had never glared at anyone before. She then realised Hibari was only a few meters away and cringed and then blurted out a thank you. Her cheeks were burning with embarrassment. Hibari was staring at her with steely eyes; he still wielded his tonfas in his hands,
_ _ _
Jeez what annoying children, Hibari thought. The girl was doing quite well until she made such a stupid mistake, after the blow to her stomach she didn't seem to be able to put up much of a fight. It annoyed him that he had to intervene, but then again, the girl's herbivorous attackers were creating a mess. It was only right he should clean up their mess. He turned his attention to the two siblings as he heard their bickering. Troublesome, was the only word that crossed his mind. The girl turned to face him, her face flushed pink. How pathetic.
He raised his tonfas and with his arm bashed the girl into the nearest wall, she screamed. So loud he thought to himself.
"Bring your brother and finish off the rest of the building." He ordered and then lowered his weapons before stepping back. Rumiko's brother just stared in disbelief.
"Hey! What did you do that for?!" The little boy demanded. The boy was even shorter than his sister and barely made the height of Hibari's chest. He glared at the boy and that shut him up.
"Leave him alone." Rumiko said in her brother's defence.
"Waow, crowding now are we?" Hibari asked frostily. Rumiko had known about the guy's extreme hatred of crowds but she and Kaito was barely a crowd. What an unreasonable guy.
"Oi, two is company and three is a crowd, Kaito and I were here first, you're the one who's crowding!" She retorted. God this girl was annoying.
"Just go back and finish mopping will you?" He said as he turned away.

Rumiko finished the last floor quickly and returned all the cleaning equipment to the storeroom. She found her brother in a nearby classroom. He had fallen asleep on his homework and a small puddle of drool was forming on his maths questions. She smiled,
"Hey, wake up sleeping beauty, it's going to get dark soon." She said as she shook Kaito awake. He gazed at her through sleepy eyes and nodded. As she walked with her little brother out of the school gates, she as if someone was watching them, instinctively she turned around and looked back at the school. At first it appeared completely deserted, but then she saw movement out of the corner of her eye, a little bird flew down to someone standing on the roof, the sun setting behind the person creating a silhouette. It was like a picture out of a fairy tale she had read a long time ago. Something about a lonely prince came across her mind as she turned away and caught up with Kaito.
