Warning: Use of foul language?

"Hey, just a little bit up…and left…there!"

"Help me with these will you?"

The school is busy preparing for their own theme for the inter-class competition. Hanging up banners of their signboards, setting up stalls, getting the appropriate equipment, checking that everything is in order…

Killua's class was not to be excluded of course. They booked the biology laboratory as all the human skeleton and model organs are already there—perfect prop for scaring people. They were pasting temporary black wallpapers and decorating their 'Haunted House' bloody signboard. And just in one corner were Killua and some of his classmates.

"Okay, we have already decided to have this group to be the ones scaring away the customers that come in. Let's divide the roles." The vice-chairman, Hinatsu, announced.

"…Pika, you will be the vampire. And Killua…the gothic creepy girl." Hinatsu finished the roles finally.

Killua was there nodding his head when his brain finally catch up to what Hinatsu said. He grabbed Hinatsu by her arm before she scurried away with the scattered group and exclaimed, "What the hell! Why I am the only guy that have to dress up like a girl! An emo gothic girl in addition!"

Hinatsu brushed away his arm easily and flung her shoulder length hair as she sneered viciously, "Well, you have no choice. I doubt there's anybody who will want to exchange their roles with you. Just suck it up like a man, top student."

Killua could only eat dust as he watched the stuck up bitch swinging her hair and stalked off. He balled his fists in rage, the sense of déjà vu coming back and slapping him to his senses.

How long has that been…Since someone hates me because of my results? If I'm not wrong, she was the one who always competed with me in academics, but never succeed in beating me…Che. What a sore loser. I guess I have no choice but to suck it up like a man eh? But I won't let her off that easily…Just so you watch, Hinatsu Amaki.

"Luffy~Aren't I cute~?" Rin twirled around in her cute little pink maid dress full of laces, topped with a pink laced headband on top of her strawberry blonde hair. Her legs were mostly covered with the long white tights and a pair of classic black shoes.

The guys in the class whistled indecently, ogling over Rin's petite figure. Luffy just glanced and nodded, "Yeah, it's nice."

Rin puffed up her cheeks in disappointment. She actually had expected Luffy to give this kind of answer, but to listen it in person…

She stuck out her tongue and insulted, "Luffy you big idiot!"

Luffy watched her whirled around and stomping off in another direction with some of the guys waggling their tails and following her. He tilted his head in puzzlement and asked no one in particular:

"What's wrong with her?"

The remaining girls were seen banging their heads against the wall after they heard Luffy.

Rin wandered around the classrooms in her outfit, ignoring the pick-up lines made by the loser guys in her class. Out of the blue came squeals and confused voices. She listened to the voices and traced back to the source.

The classroom door was opened and Rin could see a crowd of jumpy girls and blushing guys in the centre of the classroom. Just among the commotion, Rin could pick up a few lines:

"Oh my, he's so pretty!"

"Is he really the guy from just now?"

"I absolutely can't believe it!"

Rin pouted again in frustration. Someone prettier than me? I have to go and take a look!

She managed to squeeze through the crowd by using the dumb guys that followed her, and the sight in front of her was enough shocking to make her gape with amazement.

"H-How…Why?"

In front of her stood a beautiful girl, giving off an aura of elegance and mystery. Her long silky lavender hair cascaded down her shoulders, swishing around as she moved. A mini-sized tall black hat tied with dark blue ribbons was attached to one side of her head. She was dressed in a knee-length black dress, her long sleeves widening to her wrists. There was little lace to touch up on the dress—simple but appropriate in the right places. Her legs was also covered with black tights, the shoes almost the same as Rin's. Her azure eyes clearly expressed her uncomfort, a little tint of pink coloring her cheeks. Her lips were moistened with a thin layer of saliva, attracting the opposite gender. (Search 'anime goth' in google images, the hat is similar as the first picture.)

The breathtaking female then saw Rin, her lips breaking into a small smile as she acknowledged her existence.

"Rin?"

Her voice, I mean his voice startled Rin. She did not know she was trembling with anticipation as she reconfirmed her suspicions. "Ki-Killua?"

The said lady, I mean the said guy who was dressed in a female outfit, then nodded shyly, her—his cheeks blushing even more furiously.

Rin opened and closed her mouth like a fish, but no words came out. She stumbled as she backed away, an inch by an inch, her accusatory finger pointing at Killua while her mouth was still agape. She finally backed away from the crowd and screamed in disbelief as the information finally settled into her brain.

"No way! No no no! It just cannot be! A person prettier than me! Absolutely impossible! I can't believe this is true, my eyes are playing a prank on me…It must be…"

Rin then started to mumble to herself as she forced herself to deny the scene in front of her. She began rubbing her eyes, wishing that it was just a hallucination, but the sight in front of her did not disppear. She then pinched herself, wishing it was a dream, but the girl was still standing in front of her.

Killua slowly stepped forward as he asked, genuinely concerned about her current mental state. "A-Are you okay Rin?"

"You! You! You… Wahhhhhh~~~~ " Rin couldn't even finish her sentence as she ran out of the classroom in tears.

"What's wrong with her? Depression or something?"

"Must be too much stress."

Murmuring started among Killua's classmates as they witnessed the scene, debating the true reason to her deranged behavior.

Killua could only sigh helplessly.

Okay too much drama for this chapter. I must be possessed when I was typing this chapter. My fingers just flowed across the keyboard as I typed out, and I wonder how I even made this chapter too dramatic for my tastes. Anyways, review. Until the next chapter, adieu~
