I suppose I'm a little late in updating. Oops.

(D:) If I owned Hitman....um....I'd buy a small island and fill it with Hibari look alikes. Yeah.

Jinxing yourself is not fun. Funny to other people, perhaps, but not to you. So what happens when you're jinxed to the point where someone, somewhere wants to bite you to death?

Neri hit the snooze button for the umpteenth time before realization dawned on her: she was not, in fact, going to candy mountain because that was a dream, and it was after 9 o'clock. Her alarm was set for 6. School started at 7. She was, in fact, late. It probably wasn't a good idea to play her new final fantasy game until 3 in the morning.

She groaned and almost cried. She contemplated just not going at all. If she went now....she cringed. I'll be bitten to death for the 1st time...

But she knew she would have to go. Her mother worked an overnight shift, and so she would be back sometime soon and bust her.

She groaned again and rushed to get ready and ran out the door, jetting it to school. Why did I have to brag to them about never being late?

It took her about 15 minutes to get to school. She sighed in relief when she didn't see Hibari at the front gate waiting for late students to kill. Good, she thought, he's not here. I might still have a chance. She ran to the front door and walked in slowly, putting her things in her locker quietly and heading off to her advanced algebra class. She would have made it, too, if Hibari Kyoya was not in fact coming from the opposite direction. She stopped and slowly turned the other way, hoping maybe he wouldn't notice.

"You," he said, his voice sounding through the almost empty hallway. She cringed and stopped, slowly turning back around, a nervous smile on her face. This could not end well...

He stopped in front of her and glared down at her. Then he tilted his head. "I don't think I've seen you before; I remember everyone I reprehend. Are you new?"

She shook her head. "No...um... I'm in your English class," she said softly.

He stared at her. Why did this girl not look familiar? "Anyway, detention today in the Reception Room. Come late again and I'll bite you to death," he said and continued on his way. He always gave girls a warning instead of biting them to death then and there. They were girls, after all.

Neri stared after him wide eyed. She was off the hook with a little detention! She grinned and did her happy dance before going into her algebra class.

"Where were you 1st period?" Hina asked when Neri sat down in her seat in English class.

"Sleeping..." she said in a whiny voice, laying her head on her desk.

"You serious?" Hina asked, then grinned sadistically. "You were late for school for the 1st time in your life. Nice jinx."

"You're cruel!" she whined again.

She looked up when Hibari Kyoya came in the door. As he was walking over to his desk, he noticed her and stopped for a brief second, staring at her with his brows together, like a confused or questioning stare, before he moved on and went to his desk in the back.

"Ooo what was that about? Did you get in trouble? Did he let you off because he thought you were cute?"

"Detention," she said simply.

"Oh. He always gives girls detention. I only know a few that got bitten to death. But they're badass. Like me," she said and smiled proudly.

"Yeah, 'cause you're so badass, Hina," Neri mumbled.

"Hey!"

"Ok everyone," the teacher, who just came in, said in accented English. "Get your literature books. We're starting a new short story," she continued the rest in Japanese.

They all did what they were told, except Hibari because, well, he was Hibari.

That kid is so badass, Neri thought and smiled.
