Ok let's just say that today was not one of the best days of my life. Almost everything had proceeded within the range of my calculations; until that crazy person decided to introduce himself.

While I was able to slip away from it all during the uproar that ensued, it's not really going to be easy going back to school tomorrow.

I sank my head deeper into the bath all the while screaming my heart out but still that lingering fear would not go away. I had smashed the chairwoman's son onto the ground. If I had read the school handbook correctly, that would warrant suspension at least or worse, expulsion. It's only my first day of school and I'm already in deep shit. Great. Just great.

"Kotori-chan is everything all right?" Kobato's concerned voice came from the other side of the door. Maria must have told her about what had happened.

It seems that she pops by more often than Kobato lets on. Seeing that Kobato had set aside some food on the table and scolded Maria when she arrived shortly after for not calling to say she was coming over.

"I fine aunt Kobato" I shouted back. "Just fine…" that last part was muttered to myself.

Morning on my second day of school and I already feel like shit. I don't really want to go back. After what had happened… how am I going to face the whole school? Should I just claim to have flu and take the day off? However, taking sick leave to escape would be beneath me. Also even if I did escape today, how long could I delay my fate? By then the rumors would have spiraled out of control already.

That's it. I've got to do this. I've got to settle this issue as soon as possible for the sake of my rose coloured high school life.

So here I am standing in front of my class door. It seems gossip in this school travels fast cause I'm already getting angry stares from the girls while the boys seem to avoid me in fear jumping out of my way whenever I just glance at them.

I can't take back what I did. So to hell with it. I threw open the door. "Good morning everyone!" I said trying nonchalantly to pull off a smile. I must really look like a fool right now…

Good morning Mikadzuki-san.

Ah, morning Kotori!

Yo Kotori, whats up?

If you actually believed my classmates would say that… Well I've got nothing more to say. Anyway what I got was just as I expected. A single glance and then everybody went back to their own conversations.

Sighing softly, I shrank into my seat minimizing my presence. This is going to be one hell of a high school life (not in a good way).

"Good morning ladies, gents." the door slammed open with a great force.

Things this couldn't get any worse could it…

"Morning Kira."

Good morning Kira-sama."

"AHHH! Its Kira-sama!"

The fangirls of the class rushed up to him tugging for his attention.

What a difference in reaction. Well I guess I can't really compare to myself to the most powerful student could I. All I could do was just avert my eyes from him and hope he forgets about me as soon as possible.

"Girls! Girls! Always a pleasure to see your beautiful faces on this early spring morning. But give me some time to settle matters of my own before I attend to each one of you ladies."

Kira brushed past the wave of girls gracefully and headed in my general direction. At this time all I could do was pray that he was just going to speak to another student who so happened to sit in my general direction.

"Oi Mikadzuki."

So much for that theory. Anyway, it seemed he had lost his flamboyant attitude around me. And of course with the gaze of the whole class homing in on the both of us. I'll take it that this would not be a pleasant experience.

I've been cursing the whole day away already. So please I beg of you. Stop giving me anymore unnecessary attention. I don't really want to set the new world record for the number curses sprouted in a day.

"How may I help you Kashiwazaki-kun?" I replied hiding behind false bravado.

"You shall be by bodyguard."

"Bodyguard? What a joke. Wait. WHAT!"

In one bold statement he tore away whatever cool façade I had conjured up. Here we go again. Seriously I just can't keep up with that guy.

"W-why the hell would anyone do such a thing? Who the heck even decided that!"

"I require someone to protect me from, how should I say this, my more "serious" fans and you seem to fit the bill so I decided to hire you. As for who decided it, I did. There will be no objections. Am I clear Mikadzuki?"

"I shall do no such thing Kashiwazaki! This is absurd! You have no right to force this onto me."

"This is not a negotiation Mikadzuki. You could either go along with this or get expelled. I wonder how your aunt would think about that? Also my mama has already consented to this." Kira said his bright smile belaying the obvious blackmail.

Great. It seems that I'm really going for the world record then.
