"Ryohei?"

He blinked, and he smiled. "Oh, it's extreme Takeshima!"

"N-Nee-san... you know Onii-san?"

"Yea, Tuna. We used to be childhood friends."

"Ehhhh?"

"You didn't know, Sawada?"

"Ah, Onee-chan!"

I blinked, and smiled. "Kyoko!"

"Nee-san... you know Kyoko-chan too?"

I grinned. "Of course I do. I was extreme friends with Ryohei after all!"

Tuna gaped. He looked at me. "Um.. why aren't you still friends now?"

Ryohei and I grinned. "She/He got into extreme sushi making/ boxing!"

Tuna gaped again, and Ryohei looked at me. "Takeshima! Are you in the extreme high school division with us?"

I gave an awkward smile. "Y-You see... I don't really have a middle school diploma..."

"I see! So you're with Kyoko then, right?"

"Onee-chan, you're in our class? That's great!" she said.

I smiled. "Kyoko... you never cease to brighten my day.."

She blushed. "I'm not that great, Onee-chan!"

The girl I knew as Kurokawa Hana frowned at me. "Are you sure you're the same nee-chan from 4 years ago?"

I pouted. "Hana... How could you forget me...?"

She rolled her eyes. "It's you alright."

I grinned.

Tuna was just there, gaping at the sight of us.

"Um... Onee-chan. Onii-chan is acting strange again! He's training for something, and it's worrying me!"

I frowned. "Kyoko..." I looked at Ryohei sternly. "Ryohei! I thought you promised Kyoko not to fight!"

"Nee-san... ano..."

I turned to Tuna. "What's up?"

"She's worried about Onii-san participating in the Ring Battles," he whispered.

I blinked, and turned to Kyoko. I gave her a reassuring smile. "Kyoko, it's just a sumo match!"

She frowned. "Not you too, Onee-chan..."

"No really! It is! Don't you worry about your onii-chan! I'll be there to make sure he doesn't do anything reckless, alright?"

"But-!"

"You trust me, right Kyoko?"

She nodded slowly.

I patted her head, and grinned. "Don't worry about it!"

She then brightened. "You're right, Onee-chan! I trust you!"

I smiled. "Mm!"

"Onee-san!"

I frowned at the familiar voice, and saw none other than Minagawa Yui.

"Yui-chan!"

She blinked, and tilted her head. "What are you doing here, Onee-san?"

"Me? Oh, due to some circumstances, I go here now, aha.."

"N-Nee-san..."

"Hmm Tuna?"

"You know a lot of people here..."

I smiled. "I guess!"


"We have a new student today."

"I'm Takeshima Alice. I am 2 years older than you, so don't think you can play any tricks on me."

"U-Um, Takeshima, can you sit by Sasagawa?"

"Her attitude's going to ruin our Innocent Flower!"

"No, sensei, change to somewhere else!"

My eye twitched, and I sighed.

"Meena, don't be like that! Onee-chan, you can sit by me."

I forced a smile. "Arigato, Kyoko." I sat.

"Kyoko-chan's so nice..."

"She even called her Onee-chan!"

"Maa maa, meena, Nee-chan's a nice person."

I blinked, and saw Takeshi with his hands behind his head, looking out the window.

I sighed. "Takeshi... do you always slack off in class?"

He laughed. "I guess, aha!"

I shook my head at him.

. . .

"She just called Kyoko-chan and Yamamoto by their first names!"

"And so casually!"

I banged my head onto the desk repeatedly.

Can't they learn to keep their thoughts to themselves?


"So if the square root of-"

The door slid open and in came the school's most feared person: Hibari Kyoya.

He glared directly at me.

I crossed my arms and stared back at him. "Is there something you need, Kyoya?"

"Spar. Now."

"I need my education, don't you think?"

"You herbivore," Kyoya said to the sensei.

The sensei was shaking. "H-Hai?"

"She's dismissed out of class."

"H-Hai..."

"Kyoya... you never learn, do you? You can't just get everything you want, y'know?"

He narrowed his eyes at me, and half my classmates paled.

"Omnivore. Now."

I sighed. "Hai hai... geez..."

I got up and looked at him in the eye. "If I win, this uniform I'm wearing changes."

He smirked. "If I win, you have to join the Disciplinary Committee."

. . .

"But I have work after class! You already know that, Kyoya!"

His smirk remained on his face. "And?"

I narrowed my eyes at him. "Fuck you Kyoya. Just... fuck you."

There was silence, and shock was evident.

I left the class and headed to the roof.


"Kyoya... you are aware of the Ring Conflict, right?"

He narrowed his eyes at me. "I don't care about business that doesn't involve me."

I frowned. "You have a ring."

He closed his eyes and crossed his arms, leaning against the wall on the school roof. "Hn? I could care less about that ring."

My face: WTF

"You couldn't care less? What the shit, Kyoya? Just what have you been doing during your training?"

His eyes stayed closed as he said calmly, "Sparring."

I sighed. "I pity the one who is your tutor. Who is your tutor, by the way?"

His eyes remained closed. "A carnivore."

"Well no shit."

He didn't say more as his eyes opened, him glaring at me. "Omnivore. You're sparring with me, don't get off topic."

I narrowed my eyes at him. "Don't worry, I know, I know. That's the only reason I'm here, aren't I?"

He smirked, amused. "As long as you know."

His tonfas appeared, and he readied his battle stance. "I'll bite you to death."

Because they might confiscate it, I had to strap my knife at my thigh. I took it out, and sighed. "At least I'm not forced to learn things I've already learned."

I looked at Kyoya seriously, and with an amused smirk, I copied his phrase: "I'll cut you to death."


"What... monster... changed you... into a more monstrous monster... than you were before...?" I muttered under my breath.

He glared. "Get up omnivore."

I was holding onto my knees for support. "I'm fucking tired. Cut me some slack. I'm not the sadistic battle-crazy freak you are, I work at a sushi shop every day..."

He narrowed his eyes. "Hn. I win."

I blinked, and got into my battle stance immediately. "Nope. Not happening bitch."

He glared. "You're going to join, Omnivore."

"And I'm going to be able to quit school. We all have our dreams, Kyoya."

"I don't dream about you," he replied bluntly.

"Well no shit, it'd be creepy if you did."

And then we attacked again.


"Does... this mean we... tie?"

He was tired. But I was screwed. I could barely manage to keep my eyes open.

He staggered a bit, but managed to still keep his battle stance. "No Omnivore. I refuse to lose."

I managed a desperate smile. "Tieing isn't the same as losing, doofus."

"Hn."

"Fine... I'll agree to work in your... stupid Disciplinary Committee... but my uniform changes..."

"Hn."

"You sadistic asshole... How do you manage to keep your social skills in tact when you speak like that?"

"I don't need to talk to lowly herbivores."

I grinned. "That means you're able to talk to omnivores, right?"

He frowned at me, and then I noticed something that was very usual these days: a cut on his cheek.

Whenever I sparred with someone, I hated to draw blood. It was only in my "sadistic, Yuki mode" that I didn't mind.

So, the cuts being as often as they are, I realized I entered Yuki mode whenever I started sparring with the other sadistic carnivore, and when I got tired I was back to my normal, smart, self.

Goddamn it Yuki. Why did I have to have a demon side?

Wait, right, I'm a former member of the feared Sanguigno famiglia.

They're literal spawns of demons.

"Goddamn it... Shit, shit, shit..."

He narrowed his eyes at me.

I bowed in apology. "I'm really sorry Kyoya. I can't believe I... Goddamn it!"

"Omnivore."

"I don't really have a band-aid anymore so.. I don't really know what to give to you but-"

"Omnivore."

"I'm sorry for always cutting your cheek!"

"Omnivore."

I looked up, and Kyoya was right in front of me.

I blinked, startled by how close he was.

My face heated immediately.

"K-K-Kyoya..."

He smirked.

Hot damn... why now?! Why do the fucking female hormones have to act now?!

"U-Um... Kyoya?"

He looked at me in the eye. "First job: Make sure the school stays safe."

I blinked.

"Second: Take charge if I'm not here."

"Third: All paperwork must be done by end of each month. That is all."

He turned to leave, but not before saying this: "Reception room, at lunch. If you don't show up, I'll bite you to death, Omnivore."

Then he left with a swish of his Disciplinary blazer.

My face was still red.

What's wrong with me?


I entered class with bandages around my bruises.

There was a large silence, and I realized that it was already English, which meant I completely missed Math.

Which meant my teacher had no clue where I was.

"Young lady, where-?"

I looked at her with narrowed eyes. "Hibari Kyoya."

She shut up, and nodded in understanding.

I sighed in relief, and walked to my seat, aware of the eyes following me.

"Onee-chan, what happened?" Kyoko asked.

I smiled. "Hibari Kyoya."
