"Herbivore," Hibari acknowledged the girl standing in the doorway without looking up from the papers on his desk.
"Really?" her voice went up in pitch as she repeated her question. "What are you even doing here? Shouldn't you be on Summer Vacation right now?"
He ignored her questions as he arranged the papers in a neat stack, scanning the first page. Her name was Soto Reina – though it didn't matter because he would never use it – and it said that she was actually younger than he was – that didn't matter either, he would still bite her to death – the paper also said that she had been homeschooled and scored extraordinarily high on the entrance exam to many universities, but had accepted none of their offers. He frowned at the last bit of information, why had those herbivorous administrators hired someone that hadn't even attended a college course? He would have to bite them to death for that…
"What do you want?" she asked, cutting through his plotting. "Surely you didn't call me here to watch you read..."
Hibari's permanent glare slid from the paper up to the herbivore, and he noted with a smidgen of pride that she flinched a bit under his metallic gaze. His pride was eclipsed by anger when the defiant light in her eyes flared dangerously. He would have to teach her the rules if she was to stay.
"Herbivore," he started coolly as he rose from his seat, setting the papers aside for now, "for violating the dress code you will be bitten to death."
"What?" she deadpanned, crossing her arms over her chest, "What dress code? It's summer, in case you're too dense to notice…"
"All teachers must wear the proper attire while working," he explained as he drew his tonfas from his sleeve. He didn't actually know if that was a rule, but he didn't need much of a reason to put this herbivore back in her place.
"Well, then its good thing I'm not a teacher," she said as her eyes narrowed at his weapons. He could see the debate in her eyes whether or not she should draw her own.
"Hn, regardless," he grunted as he raised one tonfa, ready to attack, "kamikorosu."
Reina seriously regretted leaving her collapsible staff at home right now. She could almost hear it taunting her from the pile of dirty clothes she had left it under. If only she had known that there was a freaking sociopath that was going to want to fight her…
She calmly kicked the door shut behind her, no need for any innocent students passing by to see this. The sound of the door slamming closed acted as a starting bell, sending both of them into action. The prefect swung for her head, which she dodged by rolling to the side. She quickly scanned the room in search of something she could use as a weapon, but her search was cut short when a metal tonfa was rammed into her stomach.
The air rushed from her lungs and for a moment it seemed like she was going to fall to the ground gasping for breath. That moment ended abruptly when she wrapped her hands around the weapon still buried in her abdomen and wrenched it from the boy's hands. She quickly retreated to the other side of a black leather couch, it was clear that she wasn't going to be leaving this room if she didn't beat this boy, again.
She gripped her newly acquired weapon in her right hand and swung it a few times to get a feel for its heft before catching the advancing prefect in the chin with a swift uppercut, stunning him for a moment. Apparently he didn't expect her to be able to use his weapon to any great extent. Silly boy…
Hibari stumbled back a bit, he had not expected the herbivore to attack him with his own weapon, and he had definitely not expected it to hurt quite this much… He smirked at the throbbing in his jaw as he absently rubbed the spot where she had hit, surely this was one of the most worthy opponents he had every faced. It would be so fulfilling put her down.
He came back at full force, backing her into a corner with constant attack that she barely blocked. It was clear who the master tonfa wielder was between the two of them. He could see her wearing down bit by bit as the ring of metal hitting metal bounced off of the walls around them. He could see panic light in her eyes when her back hit one of the bookshelves lining the wall and she tried to head-butt him in a desperate attempt to escape. He easily sidestepped the attack and allowed her to stumble past him before starting his assault anew. Clearly this herbivore was nothing without her weapon.
Reina's arm was beginning to ache from blocking all of the prefect's attacks, and she couldn't switch the tonfa to her left hand. She had to disarm her opponent quickly if she wanted a chance at winning this duel. Why did she even care if she won? Her stupid pride just wouldn't let her lose…
She turned quickly and swung blindly at the boy and she heard the familiar clang of metal against metal followed by something clattering against the floor not far away. She looked wildly over towards the sound and saw a metal tonfa glistening in the sunlight spilling through the windows. She glanced at her right hand and saw her knuckles turning white from how tightly she was holding her weapon. A half-crazed grin broke out across her face as she tossed her tonfa aside and faced the prefect head on. She could definitely take him in hand to hand; the trick would be not killing him on accident.
Hibari chastised himself for not holding onto his weapon tighter. That was one of the first lessons he had been taught! But that didn't matter; he would still bite this herbivore to death. He was mildly surprised when she tossed his other tonfa to the floor and assumed a martial arts position. So the herbivore wanted to fight hand to hand? She was definitely a fool for thinking that she could beat him without a weapon.
