A Confession

Hikari walked around the school. She was honestly very surprised to see everything looking like before. The mafia people really fixed the school perfectly. It was like all the fights were not real at all. Then she looked down at the ring on her hand. It was still there.

"But the ring could be more beautiful though…." Hikari quietly muttered.

"Hikari!" She heard her friends call out to her. She turned around and saw Rica and Kiki standing together with a weird look.

"What's wrong?" Hikari was confused by their expressions.

"We should be the one asking you." Rica said.

"Yeah, like what are you doing by latching on the walls? What's so interesting about that?" Kiki said. Then she shrugged. "Hikari what goes…" she stopped saying as she saw someone interesting walking towards their direction.

Hikari seemed to have not noticed it. "I was just a bit curious." The corner of her mouth moved a bit upward to show her amusement. "I suppose they did a good job of fixing the school."

"Ha ha…" Rica gave a strained smile. Hikari arched one of her eyebrows. What were they looking at? She turned around and saw Kyoya-san walking towards their direction.

"Kyoya-san." Hikari greeted. She noted that she wasn't feeling embarrassed or anything like that. But there was this strange sensation when she saw him. Hibari stopped and gave a look towards her direction. "Are you inspecting the school? They fixed everything apparently."

He didn't say anything for a minute. "They better have or I would have bitten them to death. Including the herbivore."

Hibari didn't have to elaborate who he was talking about. "I don't think beating Tsunayoshi-kun would have done anything good though."

Hibari then started walking away. Hikari breathed in relief. No she was fine. Nothing was wrong with her. But Hikari felt a bit bad that he was gone. Wait…why did she feel that way?

"Whoa! That was super scary!" Kiki exclaimed when she was sure he was not here anymore.

"I know. You are able to talk to him just like that Hikari. You really are pretty amazing." Rica said while nodding.

"Not really." Hikari said as she tried shake the odd feeling. She turned around and started to head for the cafeteria. "Lately though I just feel so weird when I talk to him…"

Kiki looked at Rica. She gave a wink. Hikari didn't notice the small exchange. She was going to her left when Rica quickly pulled her towards the right.

"That's the way to the cafeteria."

The cafeteria was buzzing and not many dishes were left. Hikari came here to eat something sweet. She looked over her friends. The two girls were already beside their boyfriends. She sighed. She will feel like she intruded once again. She shook her head as she took the sweetened bun and turn around.

"Wow I haven't seen you for a while. Where'd you go?"

Hikari looked over the boy who was standing before her. He looked familiar. What was his name again? Dai-something…

"Sorry but I don't recall being this friendly with you." Hikari said with a blank face. "And it's none of your business to know where I go."

She was about to walk pass him when he grabbed her hand. "I was worried Hikari-chan. I thought you were in danger or something."

Hikari just looked at the boy. "I see. Sorry that you had to worry needlessly." She tried to remember the boy's name but failed once again.

"Daisuke."

"Huh?"

The boy gave a cocky grin. "That's my name. You can't remember names well right?"

"True. But sometimes I just don't want to remember the name Daisuke-kun." She said while yanking her hand away from his hand. "Please don't bother me. There is just something disturbing about you."

Hikari opened the packet holding the bun. She then took a bite out of it. 'He wants something from me.' She thought.

"Really? I thought I was pretty normal." Daisuke said as he followed behind her. Hikari gave a side glance at his direction.

"No one is normal. Anyone who is called normal is someone who must be extraordinary because there is no one in this world who has nothing interesting." Hikari said with a thoughtful expression.

"But don't you dislike average people?" He asked.

Hikari looked at him. He was still following her. She was going back to her class and it didn't seem like he'd stop following her anytime soon.

"Not really. They just go about their own lives. I like people who aren't like that." Hikari looked at him. "But I will admit you don't seem average. Since I know all the faces of the students in my class I can say for sure that they are what you call normal."

She fully turned around and looked at him. They were outside their class. The students were a bit curious. Hikari was known for being blunt. She was talking to someone from the other class. Since she rarely talked with people the students were watching curiously.

"What is it that you really want?" Hikari stopped. She noticed people watching this. "And don't lie that you wanted to be friends with me. I watched you. You have friends who aren't smiling a lie. A bit like Takeshi-kun. So there must be something you want. What is it?"

Daisuke smiled. She was sharp. "I'm glad that I was interesting enough for you to notice me."

"What do you mean?"

"I noticed you too. You're the one who planted the flowers in the school backyard aren't you?" Daisuke pushed his bangs away from his face.

"That is irrelevant."

Daisuke smiled. Hikari instinctively flinched. She didn't know why but something was off. She never saw anyone give that expression to her before. Maybe she did. Xezbeth looked at her like that sometimes.

"Is it?" He came a little closer. Hikari was feeling weird. "You know I actually really lik…"

"Why are you crowding in front of the classroom?"

The two were standing close to each other but when they heard Hibari's Hikari quickly moved away from him. She looked at Hibari who seemed very irritated. Then she noticed. All the students of the hallway were staring at them. It seemed they had created quite a crowd.

"Whoa! Sorry." Daisuke looked apologetically at Hibari before walking towards his own class. He stopped a bit further away. "Hikari-chan see you later then!" He waved at her before going to his class.

Hikari was a bit startled. He was an odd ball and he wouldn't leave her alone. She looked back at Hibari as a dangerous cloud of irritation was slowly forming around him. The other students were already very scared and they had gone back to their classes.

"Sorry for that." Hikari said completely ignoring him. She quickly went to her own seat. She could feel her embarrassment.

0000

'Why did I do that?' She asked herself as she walked down the hallway absentmindedly. Classes had ended and Hikari was on her way home. Her two friends were going home with their boyfriends. 'I don't understand. Why didn't I want to be seen like that by Kyoya-san?' she just couldn't understand. But she stopped her thoughts as she felt someone's presence.

"Hello Reborn." Hikari said as she looked at Reborn who was standing on the window.

"Ciaossu Hikari." Reborn tilted his fedora down. He had watched that little exchange earlier. It seemed she was still confused.

"Is something wrong?" She asked him. "Do you want to ask me something?"

"Dame-Tsuna and friends are going to the graveyard for a taste of courage. Will you go too?"

Hikari would have gone along with them but she had other things to do. "I would like to but no. Sorry." She bowed her head and started walking away. Then she remembered something. "Reborn tell Tsunayoshi-kun not to bother the spirits too much. No one should anger the spirits."

"I see."

0000

"Like I've said before, it's so confusing." Hikari said. She was wearing her Shaman clothes again. Since she learned to use her abilities it had become her responsibility to help the spirits. Before Mr. Gibbs was the one doing it.

The spirit of the young girl looked at her with emotionless eyes. She was not answering, not that she could. She had died long ago.

Hikari gave a soft smile. "I'm sorry. I just needed to tell someone. It used to be me but now I tell you guys." Hikari pulled out her weapon. It was silver and giving off a soft orange glow. "May you rest in peace."

"It was a job well done Hikari-sama." Hikari turned around and saw Mr. Gibbs standing there. "It is effective to use your weapon to make a circle to help them cross in this state but it won't work on powerful spirits."

Hikari sighed. "I know. I would have to guide them to the door." She said as she concealed her weapon once again. She looked towards the graveyard.

"Are you worried about something?" he asked.

"Well there is something that worries me." Hikari said as she felt strong spiritual activities coming from the graveyard. She sighed. "It seems they didn't listen."

"Then I will be going back." He said as he disappeared in mist. Hikari stared at the place he was for some time. "The illusionists always do that trick." She said that and headed for the graveyard.

When Hikari reached the place she could feel a powerful spirit seemed to have awakened. She closed her eyes and concentrated. She could feel everyone's energy. And not surprisingly the spirit was next to Tsunayoshi-kun.

"That boy just keeps getting into trouble."

Hikari slowly walked towards his direction. The spirits were mostly weak. They were dancing around her. She smiled at them as she advanced towards his direction. When she arrived at Tsuna's direction she was mildly surprised to see two Lambo's. Then she remembered something about Bianchi's ex-boyfriend.

"Help!" Tsuna screamed.

"His grip is too strong!" older Lambo said.

The two of them were being dragged to the other world by the spirit. It had opened the door. Hikari slowly walked to them.

"What are you doing?" She asked. The spirit seemed surprised at first then he looked frightened.

"Hikari-senpai!" Tsuna seemed a bit relieved. Then he noticed the clothes she was wearing.

"Princess! Save us!" Lambo was unfazed by her appearance.

The frightened spirit suddenly seemed to have regained confidence. "You won't be able to do anything Shaman! I'm taking these two to the other world!"

Hikari was unfazed. She looked a bit annoyed. Then the pupils of her eyes become slit and she waved her hand. It seemed a great force slammed towards the spirit and It was thrown inside the door and it closed instantly.

"Thank goodne…" Lambo was saying when the rustling of leaves could he heard.

"Get out of my way Tsuna!" Bianchi said as she slammed a poison cake on Lambo's face. It seemed his five minutes were over and he turned into a kid. "I feel relieved."

"Hiii!" Tsuna exclaimed as he was frightened. Then he gulped and looked at Hikari. "Senpai! I thought you didn't come!"

"I didn't but since there was so much spiritual disturbance here I thought I'd investigate. Now that it's done I'll be going." Hikari said and started walking away. But then she remembered something. "You should leave the place before more spirits gather around."

With that ominous declaration Hikari went back home. Ear piercing screams of everyone coming from the graveyard was heard but she slept peacefully.

0000

Hikari yawned. She was going to the convenience store to get some snacks. Honestly she was low on them. She needed to buy a dozen of them. She had given them away to Tsunayoshi far too often and now she had none for herself.

"Where should I go?" Hikari asked herself. She then remembered the store where Chrome bought things from. She could go there. Deciding that she went towards that direction. Hikari could see the building standing right ahead. She was about to enter when she heard a familiar voice.

"Hikari-chan!" Daisuke was waving at her. She knew it was the boy who seemed to be following her around lately.

"Yes?" Hikari tried to remember what his name was but came up empty. He was wearing casual clothes. It was a bit strange seeing that most of the time she had met him he was wearing school uniform he looked better in them… did she have a uniform fetish like Hibari and Mukuro? She quickly shook her head. That couldn't be true.

"I'm Daisuke." He seemed to have understood the fact that she forgot his name. "It's fine if you don't remember."

"What are you doing here?" Hikari asked as she resumed walking towards the store. She could feel him following her.

"I was just walking around when I spotted you Hikari-chan." He said with a smile. He quickened his pace so that he was walking next to her. "I'd say it's my lucky day."

"What does luck have to do with anything?" Hikari raised her eyebrow. "It's just a coincidence that you and I met in this place. And don't call me Hikari-chan."

"Then I'll call you Hikari. I'm okay with a coincidence too." He said. "What did you come here to buy?"

"Chocolate and sweets." Hikari said as the two of them entered the store. She was over the chocolate section in a flash. She filled her basket with varieties of chocolate and went to the cashier.

"Wow! If you eat that much junk food wouldn't you be fat?" Daisuke asked.

"I don't care. I exercise everyday anyway." She said as she handed the money to the cashier. "But why are you actually following me?"

"I feel like doing it." Daisuke said as he followed her out of the store.

Hikari turned around and stared at him. "Tell me honestly. Why are you bugging me? What do you want from me?" She had her suspicions but she had to know.

Daisuke combed his hair with his hands. "Want to go to the movies with me Hikari?"

Hikari stared incredulously at him. "No. Why would you want to take me anywhere? You and I aren't friends."

"Because I like you." Hikari's eyes went wide. What was he saying? "I want you to be my girlfriend. That's why I want to go to places with you."

Hikari was speechless. Why would he say that? "Why? I don't understand." She looked away. Honestly she was shocked that someone actually told her that they liked her. She never thought that would happen. She felt a bit embarrassed. This was happening in the middle of the street.

"I guess it's because your just you. You don't pretend to be someone else." Daisuke seemed like he was thinking. "At first I thought you were someone who is just plain weird. But after we bumped into each other that day I was a bit surprised. I immediately thought you're just some Ice princess but you're actually pretty cute."

"Cute?"

"You are. You're really protective of people you care about and you don't judge anyone. I really like that about you. So will you go out with me?"

Hikari was at a loss for words. What could she say? This was the first time someone declared their love for her like this. The logical thing would be to say okay since she wanted to be more human like. A relationship would be good but…

"I'm sorry. I…" Hikari was saying when an image of gokuran wearing male came to her head. She was stunned. Where did that come from?

"Why?" He was hurt.

"Because I…" Before she could finish what she started a hand blocked her view and she was pushed to a body.

"Ku fu fu…she can't because she has other places to be." Hikari could feel Mukuro put his head on her left shoulder and pulling her a bit closer than comfortable. He slowly moved his hand away from her eyes. She was a bit surprised to see him like this.

"Mukuro-kun…" She exclaimed. "What are you doing here?"

Daisuke was shocked. He knew that Hikari usually didn't let anyone be that close to her. But she seemed at ease with the boy. He looked about their age and wore a different uniform from them. He must be from Kokuyo Jr. High school. The boy looked at him and their eyes met. He smirked in triumph.

Mukuro let go of Hikari as she was trying to get out of his hold. Honestly she was so weak that no matter how hard she tried she'd never be able to free herself. "Let's go Hikari." He said as he joined their hands.

"What?" Hikari was confused. Mukuro pulled her away. She looked back at the shocked boy for a second before turning her head back towards Mukuro. "Wait, where are we going?"

Mukuro didn't reply and just dragged her away. When he was sure they were at a distance from that boy he turned around. Hikari was looking confused as ever. He still hadn't let go of her hand.

"Mukuro-kun? Where did you come from?" Hikari asked. Then she looked at their joined hands. "Can you let go of my hand?"

"Why should I?"

"Why should you keep holding my hand?" Hikari said as she tried to slip her hand from his hold but he was stronger than her. Mukuro watched with amusement as she tried to free her hand from his. He watched for a few moments before letting go.

"What is wrong with you people? Do you enjoy poking fun at the fact that I don't have much physical strength? Kyoya-san also did the same."

Mukuro's eyes narrowed at the mention of his name. Hikari didn't notice. "Ku fu fu Hikari what were you doing in the middle of the road?"

Hikari suddenly blushed as she remembered but quickly regained her composure. "He asked me to be his girlfriend. I never thought that this day would come." She laughed a bit and then looked at him. "What are you doing Mukuro-kun? Should you be using Chrome-chan's body for no reason?"

"Oya oya are you worried that your boyfriend misunderstood?" Mukuro asked with a bit of mischief.

Hikari looked at him with annoyance. "No. he isn't my boyfriend. I was just surprised. And you seemed to have saved me there." She looked at a side absentmindedly. "I don't hate him so I should have said yes but I couldn't. I don't understand."

Mukuro could see that she was thinking deeply. Honestly he took over Chrome's body when he saw the boy tagging along with her. Hikari wanted to learn human emotions which would mean that she would agree to be someone's girlfriend if they asked since she had nothing better to do. He didn't want that to happen.

"Ku fu fu… is that so?" He knew that if he asked she wouldn't believe it. But he'll just make her fall in love with him.

"Hmn. Should you be using your powers like that?" Hikari asked being worried.

"It's fine." Mukuro said with a soft smile. Not his usual smirk. Hikari was startled. Then she too gave a smile in return.

"You're just wasting your energy." Hikari shrugged and started walking away.

"You're just going to leave me here? You're cruel." Mukuro said as he followed her.

"You want to come along then? I'm going to the pastry shop." Hikari said as she glanced at his direction.

"Ku fu fu…"

0000

Hikari yawned as she walked towards the school. It seemed like it would be another boring day again. But last night wasn't so bad. She and Mukuro went to many types of pastry shops and ate different kinds of things. It was actually fun. She smiled.

She was near the school gate. But strangely she could feel people staring at her. Especially the third years. They did look at her once in a while but never like this. It unnerved her. It was especially bad when she went to her classroom.

The whole classroom was whispering to each other. Hikari felt annoyance like no other. She grumbled to herself and sat down on her seat.

"Hikari what did I just hear!" Kiki exclaimed. Hikari looked at her with disinterest.

"What?"

"I heard you have a boyfriend who goes to Kokuyo Jr." Rica said coming from behind her.

Hikari raised her eyebrow. What in the world? "Where did you hear that from?"

"I heard Hiwatari from next class confessed to you but before you could answer a really good-looking guy wearing Kokuyo Jr. school uniform dragged you away!" Kiki exclaimed in one breath.

"Oh… he does go to that school. I think. But Mukuro-kun's not my boyfriend." Hikari said. "Besides he's not the one I like." She quietly said. "Not like that at least."

Kiki seemed to be disappointed. "Aw! I thought you finally fell in love!"

Rica smiled knowing. "That's a relief. I guess I wasn't wrong."

"What do you mean?" Hikari said and looked outside the window. She could see Hibari patrolling. Her eyes went wide and she quickly stood up. "I have to go." Saying it Hikari quickly ran out of the classroom.

Kiki put her hand on her waist. "What was that all about?"

Rica looked outside the window and saw Hikari walking to Hibari and smiled. "Interesting."

"Kyoya-san!" Hikari called out. Hibari seemed annoyed but glanced at her direction. "There is something I have to say to you."

Hibari turned around to look at her and Hikari seemed embarrassed.

Omake: Interview

"Excuse me Amamiya Hikari-san!"

Hikari turned around. "What?"

"For this story I would like to interview you."

"No. I don't have any interest in it. Find someone else."

"If you do this then you can have this all you can eat coupon of the famous pastry shop!"

Hikari stopped walking away and turned around. "If you think that you can bribe me with something like that…."

The interviewer gulped. "Then you're absolutely right. What do you want to know?" Hikari gave a smile.

'That was easy. Thank you Reborn-san!' The interviewer thought. Somewhere Reborn smirked and Tsuna shivered thinking what he did this time.

"Then we have a… no questions for you. Can you tell us your birthday? Star constellation, blood type, height (cm), and weight? Any favourite colour? What do you do in your free time? What is your average test scores (0-100)? What do you think of Tsuna, Reborn, Hibari, Chrome, and Mukuro? Do you like school with in the same class as Ryohei? When is the time you feel most calm and happy?" (Amakawa Azusa-san)

"Wow that's a lot of questions." Hikari thought for a bit. "My birthday is on 1st November which means my start constellation is Scorpio. My blood type is AB negative. Height is 157.5 cm and weight 44kg."

"Eh? Your 44kg?"

"I guess I'm getting fat for eating too much cake. Whatever."

"You haven't answered the rest of the questions yet!"

"I was going to! I don't care for colours. I watch TV and read books on my free time. And why do you want to know about my average? Anyway I guess its 45 or something. Sometimes it becomes 63 I guess. I think Tsunayoshi-kun is cute and royal like a lion, Kyoya-san is respectable but too proud, Chrome-chan is adorable but too easily afraid and Mukuro-kun is passionate about stupid things. I don't care but would have appreciated if Ryohei-san would shut up once in a while. About being calm... I like it when I'm in my own dreamscape where I met Xezbeth-san. In real world I like to be high above the ground."

"That's not what I'd expected to hear from you Hikari-san. Anyway on to the next question! Hmn it says… Hikari have you ever had strange dreams where the prefect Hibari appeared? Was Mukuro there to see it?" (novella12nite-san)

Hikari looked astonished. "What kind of question is that? Why would I ever! Look I don't dream okay? When I go to sleep it's always blank. I fall asleep and wake up. It feels like I closed my eyes only for a second. The only time I do, it's a memory or when I deliberately go to other people's minds."

"But that's not the answer…"

"Fine. I never did. And even if I dreamed why would I see Kyoya-san of all people! And why would this concern Mukuro-kun?"

"Don't you have feelings for them? You even started calling Hibari by his first name!"

"Wha!" Hikari became flustered and couldn't find anything to say.

"Well to be continued…I guess."
