She was
by: ChosenAnika
Genre: Family, Friendship, Drama, Romance
Summary: She was not part of the Vongola famiglia, not one known by Reborn, and certainly not a student council of some sort. So what's so different about her? Maybe, just maybe, it's because of her catchphrase, "I'll bite your head off." Now definitely, that is something.

Chapter 9
...
Aihara's afternoon was everything but the usual. First, there was this certain girl with orange hair who kept on pestering her during break. It was really annoying for Aihara that she had to strain herself not to punch that girl.
Second was her Japanese teacher. That 'sensei' kept on calling her to recite when the truth is she couldn't really read Japanese (despite being Japanese herself). She can only recognize certain characters but not read an entire sentence. The mockery in her sensei's face was what irritates Aihara the most that's why she silently cursed her sensei during class. Aihara excels in all of her subjects like Mathematics, English, Science… except Japanese. Goodness, she would do anything just to get rid of that stupid subject.
Although these things actually ruined her mood, the thing that frustrated her the most was the absence of an opponent because that certain creature found another creature to fight with. That raven-haired prefect was the only one who can satisfy her when it comes to fighting. Her frustrations can only be solved through a fight with that creature but no, a yellow haired creature must be here to ruin everything. Ruin Aihara's day-to-day routine, which includes an encounter with the prefect.
Aihara sighed as let herself fall on the sofa. It was lunch break and her usual spot at the rooftop was occupied by annoying creatures so she just went to where she usually naps in the morning, the reception room also known as the Disciplinary Committee's club room. Today was an unlucky day for her and right now what she really needed was peace to calm her nerves.
"Midori tanabiku namimori no" suddenly a small canary bird came flying through the window while singing its favorite song. "dai naku shou naku name ga ii~"
The canary bird landed at the top of Aihara's head and continued its song, "itsumo kawaranu sukoyaka kenage—"
"aa… tomo ni utaou namimori chuu~" Aihara sang the last part together with the canary bird. She stroked it lightly, feeling herself calm down.
Today's not that bad after all, Aihara thought as she tried to catch up with Hibird's singing.
"And how can a person protect others when he can't even protect himself?" Iemitsu said to Gokudera as the latter almost killed his own self by his own reckless training. It was a good thing that Iemitsu was there to create a hole to avoid bloodshed; Reborn unsurprisingly surprising was also there. "Back to work. See you, Shounen!"
Iemitsu left the area and went to the woods. When he was far enough from the rest, it was then did he acknowledge a certain white haired woman looking intently at him. "So you were watching" he said as he continued on walking, not really bothering to stop and look at the girl since he know that she could catch up with him.
"You intervene with them." The woman said, tone neutral. Iemitsu gave a smirk.
"I only did my part. After all," Iemitsu lowered his gaze, shielding his eyes from sight. "Nothing's going to start without Gokudera, the only mid-range fighter of the bunch."
The woman watched the retrieving back of Iemitsu, the latter heading back home with mind filling with thoughts about how well the training for the chosen guardians were going. Before completely leaving, "I leave the care of Vongola on your hands, Albino Chosen", the blonde hair man said.
"Fate shall decide what I can do for your famiglia." The addressed woman replied before vanishing but Iemitsu smiled nonetheless with the answer.
"If its Fate we're talking, Albino Chosen is the key to make it smile on our side."
"Tadaima." Aihara entered their household and felt silence enveloping her. She sighed, looks like her sister's not around.
"Meow." Kuro was the one who welcomed her.
"Kuro, tadaima." Aihara brought Kuro to her arms and went inside. A note was noticeably lying on top of the dining table, seeming to be from her sister.
Something came up with work so I won't be home till midnight.
There's food at the fridge just heat it with in the oven.
I will meet your friends next time.
Love, Onee-chan.
Aihara did not even bother batting an eye at the note. She expected this to happen anyway. The thing that's weird was her sister using this kind of method when email is more efficient. Though its her weird sister we're talking about so anything weird is normal.
"Meow." Aihara stroked Kuro's fur and the latter purred contentedly.
"Midnight." Aihara muttered as a thought came into her mind before heading to her room to change.
After eating dinner, Aihara lulled Kuro to sleep then placed the cat to her bed. She stroked its fur for a couple of minutes before heading out. It was already dark; no one was wandering around the streets. Aihara began walking towards her destination, her light source being the moon. She has he weapons in tact behind her. She will train herself tonight, as if that's the last thing she'll do. She must get stronger.
After a few more strides, she was already in front her destination.
"Namimori Middle."
Hibari Kyoya, unlike everyone else, stayed at Namimori Middle. He was doing some paper duties he did not get to attend with because of his fight with a yellow haired Italian, Dino. Yes, paper duties, he may not seem like the type of guy but Kyoya is very responsible with his duty even if it does not involve fighting. The prefect was fine at staying in school since through this he can guide the school even at night. After a couple of hours signing and checking school papers, Kyoya suddenly felt a small chill in the air.
Something's not right, he muttered in his thoughts. Kyoya stood up from his chair and went to inspect each classroom. His tonfas ready to bite any herbivore who dare went to the school during at night. As he passes through each empty room, he heard a faint sound coming from the rooftop. Immediately, Kyoya dashed towards the rooftop. By opening the door revealed a sight of a girl.
The moon illuminated the mysterious girl; she was wearing a short, dark blue kimono with a white crescent moon design at the left side. Her arms are covered with dark blue forearm sleeves matching the color of her kimono. Her dark black hair was tied in a topknot. Dark crimson eyes staring dangerously at Kyoya behind those Okami mask.
Above everything about the girl's appearance there was something that piqued Kyoya's interest. The girl was handling a twin bladed tonfas on both hands. Kyoya smirked, only he can handle the use of tonfas. Without another thought, Kyoya dashed towards the mysterious girl and made an attack. The girl replied with a blow of her own as she dodged the prefect's attack.
"Herbivore, no one is allowed to come here during night." Kyoya said between attacks. The girl remained silent as it continued to throw attacks herself.
In the battle, it was noticeable that the girl was gaining the upper hand. Kyoya was receiving more cuts than from his previous fights with other opponents. On the other hand, the girl did not even break a sweat from everything and how she handled her weapon was perfect. This only made the prefect irritated.
For a moment, the clouds covered the moon; making the night darker. The surroundings enveloped by darkness, though Kyoya was not bothered by this it was not the same as for the girl. The girl suddenly stood still, her eyes dilated with emotions Kyoya could not put a finger on.
The very moment the moon came into view once again, the girl was already gone; leaving Kyoya with the feelings of irritation. He does not want to end their fight like this; he wanted to bite that herbivore.
"I will bite that herbivore to death."
The girl with a Okami mask was walking when she was stopped by a very familiar voice.
"Afraid of the dark?" a white haired woman with the same crimson eyes came into view. The girl at question ignored the woman and went back walking. "You know you can never rely on the moon, Aoi."
The girl with Okami mask, 'Aoi', faced the white haired woman. "The moon will always there, Chosen."
Chosen smiled mysteriously and answered, "Okami Aoi, as long as the moon is there I can rely on you." The assassin Chosen suddenly vanished leaving the mysterious girl with her thoughts. Aoi looked up and stared at the moon with her dark crimson eyes.
"As long as the moon is there indeed."
"Tadaima."
Aihara was surprised to see a frowning sister in front of her.
"Where were you, Sa-chan? Its already past midnight." Her sister scolded while Aihara only shrugged. She walked past her sister and was ready to hit the hay when she heard her sister whisper.
"Aren't you afraid of the dark?" Her sister asked that made her stop on her tracks. "What were you doing out in the night?"
"The moon was there," Aihara answered "I was not afraid."
Her sister nodded in understanding and so Aihara went to her room to sleep. "Well then, good night Sa-chan."
"Un."
