Heli: *half dead* Currently on my seventh attempt at my Dino fic. Three weeks worth of eating, breathing, and dreaming this story. If I finish this thing, I don't think I'll have the courage to post it. I've invested too much of myself and my energy and my life into it.
Rhage: *gasps with last breath of life* But the lemons are so beautiful… *dies*
Heli: *Blinks then starts laughing* Yes, the lemons. Oh my god, Dino is so perfect for lemons. *sighs and dies with a smile*
Leaning against a bookcase, Hibari watched Taka's bent head while she struggled over a math problem, her lunch unopened besides her on the table. Other students moved silently through the library making sure to give him a wide berth as he pushed away from the case to walk across the few feet separating them. She didn't look up until he nudged the table with his foot, her eyes startled. He cut her off when she opened her mouth to speak.
"Gather your things." Taka's face flushed bright red as she hurried to comply then got to her feet. Hibari turned and she followed without a word but as they left the library, Taka could hear the whispers of the students that watched. To them, she was nothing more than a lamb going to slaughter. He led her down the hall towards the principle's office and Taka felt her heart beat faster. She's already been in trouble once for fighting but surely being late wasn't as bad? Hibari walked her past the office door looking over his shoulder at the confusion on her face. Her eyes flicked up to his before narrowing suspiciously.
He ignored her as they continued on through the main building. Stepping aside when they reached the staircase to the roof, Hibari gestured her ahead. Taka gave him a look then took the steps two at a time and pushed past the door. She turned to face him after tossing her bag aside. Hibari closed the door with a click, his gaze steady.
"So I was late," she huffed when his tonfas came out, "Did you really have to drag me away from homework just so you could beat me up?"
"You can defend yourself," he said moving towards her and Taka's hands came up quickly, "But you have no offense."
"What?" She shook her head in confusion.
"You don't know how to fight," Hibari said standing before her, "It's degrading for me to fight a herbivore that anyone with a small amount of skill can defeat so you will learn."
"And if I don't want to?" She demanded being annoying on purpose to see his eyes narrow.
"I will bite you to death." Taka snorted and barely caught his first swipe with her forearm. It stung and she grinned in his face.
"You can't teach me if I refuse to learn, Prefect-chan." He smirked at her taunt then shoved her away.
"Stupid herbivore." He chuckled going for her again. Taka skipped back to avoid him but he kept up until he finally caught her with a hit to the shoulder. She shoved him away with two hands to his chest, her eyes flashing.
"I'm not a herbivore and I'm not a cow so stop calling me that!" She yelled, "I have a name."
"No," Hibari came at her, his tonfas whistling through the air, "Those that are weak and pathetic, they don't get names."
"Shut up!" He saw the spark flare deep in her eyes just before he landed a blow that was hard enough to drop her to her knees. His eyes widened when she grabbed him around the legs, squeezing hard enough, while pushing into him with her shoulder, to topple him. Her fingers dug into his thighs, hips, and sides as she crawled up him with a fierce look in her eyes. Stunned when her thighs straddled his hips, Hibari could only stare up at Taka when she placed her hands on his shoulders, pinning him to the ground. Her dark hair fell around his face when she leaned down.
"It's Taka," She whispered against his cheek, "Remember it."
