MINA! I'M BACK FROM KOREA AND IT WAS… RANDOM BUT ANYWAY…. OMFG! I'M SO SORRY I DIDN'T UPDATE IN MY FICS, MY USB WENT IN MY GRANDMA'S WASHING MACHINE!...

…

Toushiro stared out the window while the teacher tried to explain different types of locks and security systems that the students of the academy would have to face in their futures. He already knew this crap inside and out with Patrick Helens (from ch 1) in his school.

'DAMN IT! That's not the problem though… Mr Hays is here and how much worse can this get?...'

"Mina? HELLO? Ms Mina Kishibe!" The teacher boomed from the front of the classroom, her hands on her hips. The boy snapped out of his thoughts and quickly paid attention to the woman. "Please repeat what I've just said!"

"Ummmaa… security systems…" Hitsugaya desperately tried to remember what the teacher'd said in the last few seconds… or was it minutes?

"Ms Mina, I'm afraid that I'll have to put you in detention and make you do this at lunch time. Detention room, NOW."

The teen slowly got out of his chair and made his way out of the room. He could see Momo looking at him with a sorry look on her face. He just smiled at her and left the room.

'NOT the best way to start a new school… never…'

The boy could just hear what was going on in his classroom due to the echoing hallway.

"Ms Momo! What is the best way to surpass laser alarms when you can't see them?"

"Oh! Uh… g-g… get the laser setup system and shove them up your… what was it?... ummmaa… ass! I think?... Hehehe…"

Nobody laughed at the girl's lame and unstable joke and silence spread filled everyone's ears. However, the ice was broken by a VERY pissed teacher.

"Detention room, NOW! I am utterly disappointed that what you've just said came from an elite student's mouth!"

Hitsugaya couldn't do anything but stand there, eyes wide open in awe and shock at what'd just happened. Hinamori quickly yet clumsily scampered out of the room with a deep red shade in her cheeks. She quickly regained her balance and jogged to the side of her roommate.

"The answer to that was either to use chalk dust or just bust a hole in the ceiling and get to your destination by busting another hole once you're above it."

"I know! This is just revision after all!"

"Then why'd you say that?"

"To go to detention with you…"

"Why would you wanna go to detention with me?"

"I dunno! But I feel like we're sisters!"

"K…"

With that, the two ambled into the detention room where they were forced to stare at the blackboard for the next hour.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"OMG! Yay! Combat classes!" Hinamori sang as she skipped out of the detention room with her friend.

'Geez… finally… combat classes…'

Toushiro and Momo quickly jogged to a giant gymnasium that was sitting near a massive oval next to the senior school dorms and cafeteria. The entered the building to see their class sitting in two straight lines in front of each other with at least twenty metres separating them. Twenty-six pairs of eyes shot from their instructor to the two in the doorway.

"Ah! Girls, come in! Mina, I'm Ms Helensvale and you can be Momo's partner today! Come in and sit down!" The teacher called and the roommates parted ways and sat opposite of each other in the lines. "In fact, Momo and Mina can go first! Get up, you two and you may begin when I blow my whistle!"

Hitsugaya didn't need any explanation as Momo'd already told him about this at breakfast that morning. Partners were to sit opposite of each other in two different lines when waiting for their turn. When their turn came, they had to go into the middle of the twenty metre space and spar when the teacher's whistle blew. Their combat grades were decided on how many times they won or lost in matches by the end of each term.

SSSSSHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!

Before Toushiro knew it, he quickly had to dodge a spin kick that was aimed for his right leg. He did a backflip jump so that he could make some distance between him and the girl. He kept on wondering.

'Is it alright to hit a girl?...'

"Careful Mina, Momo beat me in 2 minutes and 46 seconds last time we fought, didn't you Momo?" Mrs Helensvale warned and Hinamori just nodded before her facial expression changed from the normal, bubbly face to a serious face full of concentration.

'Good… I could analyse her strength…'

Momo swiftly ran towards Hitsugaya, her fists clenched tightly. Toushiro propped his arms in front of him, prepared for a direct attack from the front but the girl just jumped over him and delivered a spin kick to his side. He quickly grabbed his roommate's leg to lessen the damage and used the chance to throw her a few metres away from him.

"Argh!" Hinamori yelped as she slowly picked herself up off the floor. Guilt started to wash over the boy.

'Am I being too hard on her?...'

"Hmmm… you're good, Mina… no wait, EXCELLENT! I think you'll be capable of fighting Ms Hinamori in full strength!" The teacher chimed, clapping her hands lightly.

'Wha? FULL strength?... then what was the stuff from before?...'

Momo nodded at the teacher then jumped up and down very lightly, shaking her arms and legs to loosen her muscles. The girl then raised her thumb to her mouth and bit the tip hard enough just so that blood would ooze out of the bite. She could feel the adrenaline flowing in her body now. The girl then ran towards the boy with her fists clenched even tighter. Hitsugaya steadied himself and set his fists in front of him, this time keeping an open mind of where the girl would attack him from. Hinamori first jumped up, making Hitsugaya look up for a seconds before he realised that she had slipped through his legs. The girl grabbed his shoulders and flipped over his head, slamming her legs into his stomach.

Toushiro grunted as he went flying a few metres away from Momo. He quickly stood up and dodged the girl jumping at him.

'K… I think I can go hard on her…'

The boy jumped at his opponent and grabbed her shoulders to spin around her body and slammed his leg into her back. Hinamori fell forward but quickly used her arms to push her off the ground, making her land on Toushiro's stomach. She raised her fist to deliver a punch when Hitsugaya brought his knee over and whacked her in the back of the head, making her fall forward and whack his head with hers.

The last thing the prodigy could pick up was the sound of the teacher's whistle blowing before he passed out with his roommate unconscious on him also.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Light poured into Hitsugaya's eyes as he strained to open his eyelids. He was lying in a single bed in a white room. That was all he could tell.

'Urgh… what happened?...'

The boy tried to sit up but a hand quickly shot forward and pushed him back onto the bed. It took a while for Toushiro to fully rid of his pain in his forehead and see who the owner of the hand was. A feminine frame came into view followed by wavy, black hair and…

"Mrs Braun?" (A/N: From chp 5)

"Yes, I'm Mrs Braun and the head mistress wishes to talk to you as soon as possible Ms Mina."

The way Mrs Braun seemed to emphasise the 'Ms' in Hitsugaya's alias made him feel somewhat strange.

"Does she want to see me now?"

"It doesn't have to be now but it can be," the vice principal answered before leaning into Hitsugaya's ear and whispering, "Mr Toushiro Hitsugaya."

Hitsugaya's eyes widened as his breath stopped in his throat and his mouth went dry.

'What? How does she know?... This would also mean that Momo's adoptive mum would know as well… crap… does Momo know?...'

"Do not worry as the headmistress, Mr Hays and I are the only ones to know your secret! So, when would you like to see her?"

"I-I think now would be more… convenient… ma'am…"

"Well, that's great! I could escort you there now!"

The vice principal helped the boy get out of bed and escorted him towards the door.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hinamori laid in the bed next to her roommate but was awake.

'Her knee at my head really hurt…'

The girl then quickly snapped her eyes shut and slowed her breathing when she heard the door open and high heels click on the tile floor. She heard her roommate gasping and shooting up before a grunt as she (A/N: I'm describing Hitsugaya as a girl as this is from Hinamori's point of view) was probably pushed back down onto her bed.

Momo could only hear murmuring and whispering between the two and strained to hear them. She could've bit another one of her fingers to bleed and heard the conversation but she needed permission to do that.

'It's probably confidential anyway…'

Suddenly she heard her roommate stop breathing.

'Is something going on there?... Is something wrong?... No, wait… Mrs Braun wouldn't do anything like that…'

"Do not worry as the headmistress, Mr Hays and I are the only ones to know your secret! So, when would you like to see her?" Mrs Braun chirped.

'Secret?... What secret? My mum has something to do with this?...'

The student then heard her friend and the vice principal walk out of the door before slowly sitting herself up.

'I'm going to follow them!'
