"There you are!"

Unable to contain his surprise, Hisoka jumped a little and looked at his companion, who seemed completely unfazed. The speaker (or more accurately - the shouter) was the orange haired kid he saw earlier in class. Assuming that the words weren't directed at him, the empath looked questionably at his purple eyed tour guide, who said in a cold tone:

"I see you decided to come back. And to think i got all my hopes up. Thought that maybe you found yourself some nice and cozy cave to live in..."

"Don't talk to me like that, girly-boy! You wanna fight, do it with you're fists!"

"I am not going to fight with you."

"What? The rat's afraid?"

"When was i ever afraid of you, stupid cat? I simply don't think that by spilling you're blood in front of the new student i'll show our school in a positive light."

Completely occupied by their bickering, the two students didn't notice the green eyed boy standing next to them, his head moving left and right as if he was watching a tennis game.

"Who are those people... What are they? Why... What is..."

As much as he tried, Hisoka just couldn't recollect his thoughts. The only thing he got for sure from the dark auras surrounding them was hatred. No, again, it was deeper than the obvious anger and frustration he could feel on the surface. It came from some place deep within them, something primal, almost on the instinct level.

Shaking his head to gain a little composure, he decided to brake the odd fight before things get more physical.

"Umm... Souma kun, don't you think we should go on before brake is over?"

"Of course, -- the gray haired youth now turned his head to him, -- please forgive the interruption. Kyo over there is known for showing up when he is less needed."

"Heh... And who's the other girly boy, rat? You'r new boyf..."

A moment later, the orange haired kid named Kyo was lying motionless on the floor. Hisoka looked at Yuki with astonishment. He didn't look strong at all, and yet it took nothing for him to beat the crap out of this Kyo guy in one single blow.

"Very impressive, Souma kun. -- Said a quiet, amused voice behind them, making the two boys freeze in their places. --However, i am sure you don't want to leave your cousin bleeding on the floor. You and your friend can bring him into my office."

Hisoka's face, pale as it is from the stressful day, was now as white as the wall behind him. Slowly, he turned around to face a man in a white robe standing in front a door marked "school doctor".

"Ah, Kurosaki kun, long time no seen. You change schools quite frequently, i've noticed."

"Muraki..!"

XxXxXx

Ahhh! the tension! hmm... Yuki hit Kyo right in front of the doctor's office.. how considerateof him..
