Chapter 12: My Trip to Kokuyo Land

"She looks like she came back from hell, that Izanami-sama." "I'd say! It makes her look even scarier… hey, what if she's the one behind all the Disciplinary Committee members in the hospital?" "She's been gone for so long, Izanami-sama has probably been at her house doing some crazy voodoo shit or something!" "Can you even believe she knows Takeshi-kun?! She probably manipulated him to befriend her with some black magic or something!"

Creak!

I slid open the door to my classroom, aware of the dark circles under my eyes. Seeming as I had interrupted their gossiping session, they all went quiet as I went to sit down in my own seat. I put on earphones and stared at the window.

"Ryohei has been sent to the hospital," Reborn had confirmed earlier this morning. "He had six teeth missing... the assailant is attacking in order of the strongest members in Namimori. You're to return to school and protect Tsuna - the assailant is definitely trying to target him, like you said. Go tell Hibari that he's from Kokuyo Middle School."

I have to tell Hibari, huh?

What's to say he hasn't left already?

Knowing him he's probably already assessed the situation and -

Dodge, dumbass! my instincts screamed. I jumped in time to hear the familiar fwip of a particular weapon, and I met the familiar steel-gray eyes of Hibari Kyoya, who I hadn't seen in weeks. His eyes were amused. "So you've finally come, carnivore."

I noticed the commotion we had caused, with the spectacle being Hibari Kyoya trying to attack "Izanami-sama" and the fact that in my attempt to dodge I had knocked over a few chairs. Whoops, sorry not sorry.

I smiled lightly. "I did miss that, surprisingly... Long time no see, Hibari." I noted the bag in his grip. "I take it that I can finally become a formal member of the Disciplinary Committee now?"

"Come with me," he ordered, simply tossing it at me. He then began to leave.

Peering into the bag, I spotted my very own Disciplinary Committee uniform. I had been expecting to receive my own for quite awhile now, so actually receiving it was a bit monumental for me. I stared at the uniform with a bit of pride, and switched out my school uniform blazer for the Disciplinary Committee one. Feeling an odd sense of duty, I wordlessly followed after Hibari.

Hibari had already known that the assailant behind the attacks was from Kokuyo Middle School. To my surprise, he had wanted me to come with him to their base, which he had also known already, Kokuyo Land. The entire trip there was just filled with me asking questions as to why he brought me and him answering with either silence or his stupid 'Hn.'

Antisocial bastard.

…Not that I was any better based on my image at school, hahaha-

Eventually we reached the entrance, and we stood there for a while before Hibari turned to face me for the first time the entire journey. "You wait here."

...Is he serious? That's why I came here? To play the waiting game?

I frowned. "No."

He narrowed his eyes. "Carnivore."

I didn't budge. "If you acknowledge my stupid strength so much, which I still don't get by the way, then I'm going with you. I don't care how stupidly strong you are, that bastard is in there and I don't trust his eye - "

Hibari shut his eyes, sighing. "If I'm not out in five, you're in charge."

I frowned. "Hibari, five minutes?! I'm going with you after all-!"

Hibari suddenly gripped my head and leaned his forehead against mine.

…Huh?

The gesture immediately made me freeze up, my brain not processing what had just happened and Hibari took advantage of my silence, staring down at me with an annoyed frown. "Stay put," he ordered lowly.

When I realized Hibari had essentially headbutted me, my senses returned and I glared at him despite the fact that my face was starting to burn red from how close his face was to me. "Damn you, Hibari! What was the damn point of bringing me along if all you're going to make me do is fricking wait for you-?!"

"Izanami." I could feel some kind of animalistic-like dominance emerge from the long stare he returned. "I order you to stay put. Do you understand?"

I tightened my fists, and had a long staring contest with him before I averted my eyes with a sigh of defeat. "…Yes sir."

"Good." He smiled, causing my heart strings to pull just a little, and he let go, marching into the stupid run-down building alone.

I watched him disappear from sight and rubbed the spot where his head had been, feeling anxious.

…He'll be fine, right?

Before the five minute mark hit though, I dodged a blur of yellow and green.

I had no idea what to do.

"Lucky!~ Good thing Mukuro-san noticed that ugly duck was the one who protected you last time~ I was able to use my Wolf Channel to smell you nearby!"

My eyes widened. "Duck…? Don't tell me, you bastards already got Hibari-!"

The spiky haired blonde rolled his eyes at me. "Stop yapping, you dumb bitch, Mukuro-san ordered me to go target you when he spotted him. Don't worry, though~ Mukuro-san will take care of that boyfriend of yours very soon!~"

Rather than allowing myself to be affected by his comments, I simply took the time he was talking to observe his appearance. He had a jagged scar across his cheek and wild blonde hair, his eyes animalistic and aggressive. Like that bastard, Mukuro I identified in my head, he wore the Kokuyo Middle School uniform, a vomit green color. I found myself frowning. "Ah, I really do feel bad for you."

His eyes narrowed. "Hah?!"

I shook my head. "I'm not much of an expert on fashion, but even I would know to never put on that disgusting shade of green."

He glowered, very aggravated. "What did you say, bitch?!"

"Hmm…" I tilted my head with a smile. "I'm your target based on that dumb ranking list, aren't I? So I'm sure you know my name. Let's quit the name-calling, else you want me to start calling you a bitch myself."

"You…! You're dying today, Kamiya Izanami!" His following glare was murderous, and he grabbed a cartridge and put it in his mouth, a cute little wolf appearing on his cheek as he dashed towards me with his mouth transformed into jagged teeth. I dodged, jumping backwards to create distance from him and I revealed my main weapon, a knife.

He smirked, his tongue sticking out. "So you finally reveal your weapon, huh? Too bad that you're too slow to use it~" He then frowned, sensing something was wrong, when his eyes widened and he yelped in pain, five precise cuts forming at his sides and arms. He glared. "When did you-?!"

I smiled, lightning crackling at my knife. "Elettrico Palla, one of the Sanguigno famiglia's main techniques. It allows me to attack you five times in a single moment."

His eyes widened. "You're a…"

"Too slow, you said?~" My smile disappeared as my vision flooded with red. "You're going to regret underestimating me, you son of a bitch."

yello~

I joined the hype about Demon Slayer, or Kimetsu no Yaiba, not too long ago and I absolutely loved it! the cinemetography, the beautiful beautiful animation, the sOUNDTRACK of MEHWOTO CHITE and TSUYOKU NARERU RYUUWOSHITA and mY BOI KAMABOKO MOFO GONPACHIRO AND NEZUKO-CHAAANNNNN-!

ahem. sorry.

anyway, point is, I just wanted to let you guys know that most of Izanami's attacks are going to be based on one of the Breath Styles in Demon Slayer, just in case you were curious where I got the idea.

yes, I'm unoriginal lolol.

but did y'all notice? no? I mean, it doesn't really matter if you did or didn't, hehe~

just wanted to give credit to where it's due.

I'll stop fangirling now.

thanks for reading yet another chapter,
