York Shin High School…

Today is bright and sunny day to start school. Gon and Killua were walking towards the gate of York Shin High.

"Killua, where's Nee-chan Mitara? Will she go to school today?" Gon asked his best friend.

"Yeah. She said she will just go here afterwards. Ne, where's your brother?"

"He went out earlier. He said he'll just visit someone first before going here in school."

Before Killua could answer, they heard someone shouting and screaming.

"Here! Here's my homework! Please don't hurt me!" The guy immediately handed his notebook to Ubogin and Phinx that were standing in front of him. Pakunoda and Hisouka were at their back.

Killua just shook his head. "As always…" he muttered.

Gon stopped and glared at the commotion.

"Gon, just let them be. Don't even try to help. Aren't you used to it?" Killua asked his best friend.

"It's not that…"

"Come on, you don't want to be late, don't you? Our first teacher is Ms. Mito. She's so strict on our attendance in her class."

"Uhm…Okay."

The two proceeded to their classroom.

Meanwhile in Room 3-1…

The classroom is almost filled with the third year students. Some are just chatting in groups, others have their own businesses.

In the corner of the room, there's Shizuku, reading her Physics book. Two seats apart diagonally from her, there's Feitan, chatting with Shalnark who is sitting next to his back. In the other corner of the room, there's Kurapika, as usual, reading his favorite History book.

Five minutes before the classes starts. Where's that red-hair now? Kurapika thought to himself.

After a couple of minutes, Mitara entered the room. The 18 year old girl with red, long, shiny hair walks straight towards her seat at the back of Kurapika's seat.

"Ohayou, Mitara. How are you feeling?" the blond boy asks his best friend, turning to face her.

Mitara let out a small smile. "I'm okay, Kurapika."

"I thought you'll be late."

"Did I ever come into this class late, hmm?" Mitara raised her eyebrow, though she's not mad.

Kurapika chuckled. "Gomen."

Their teacher entered the room. Mr. Nobunaga, their History teacher, started the class.

Lunch break…

Mitara and Kurapika were sitting on their usual table at the middle of the canteen. They are waiting for Gon and Killua so they can have lunch all together.

The Ryodan Gang entered the room, lead by the leader himself, Kuroro Lucifer. Other students make way for them as they went to their usual table at the far side of the canteen. Everybody is scared and aloof at them because they were the notorious gang in York Shin High School. Students from first year to fourth year wishes not to cross their paths.

Kurapika and Mitara just ignore them. If there's someone who's not afraid of them, that's the four of them.

Hisouka, Pakunoda, Ubogin, Phinx, Shalnark, Feitan, and Shizuku went on their usual table. Kuroro left his comrades for a while and went to Mitara's table.

"Hi there!" Kuroro charmingly greeted Mitara. He paid no heed at the existing blonde boy beside her.

The red-haired girl glanced at Kuroro. He's really handsome and charming, in fact, he's the campus heartthrob. All girls can't resist his charms and ended up swooning on him. But, not Mitara.

"Yo," she greeted back.

"Why aren't you eating? Are you waiting for me?"

Mitara try hard to stop her eyebrows to rise. "No. We're waiting for Killua and Gon."

"I see. Uhm, Mitara-chan, when will you accept my invitation? It's been a year and you weren't accepting it." Kuroro sat beside her.

"What invitation?"

"To have lunch with us on our table. Or if you don't want, we can have lunch together outside. Just the two of us."

"Gomen, Kuroro. I'm busy and I just can't."

"I can still wait." Kuroro said. Besides, she still doesn't have a boyfriend. My chance is still high.

Then, Gon and Killua arrived.

"Hi, Nii-chan, Nee-chan Mitara," Gon greeted them. "Oh, hi, Kuroro-san." He said when he saw the other man.

"I guess, I should go back to our table. Nice talking to you, Mitara-chan." Kuroro didn't even bother to look at the others that existing on the table as he walks away.

Killua's eyebrows twitched. "The nerve!" he muttered.

Kurapika rolled his eyes in irritation. Mitara just shrugged.

"Let's get some food, I'm hungry." Gon lively said to the other three.

They all get their food in the counter and eat merrily on their table.

Note: How's that? Kuroro here is sort of a charming bad guy. Uhm, not that bad, I mean, just like an annoying suitor of Mitara. (WOW! Kuroro? Annoying? Tsk! I just have my story for Illumi here. But I'll have one that Kuroro is the lead man. =D ) Please read and review. Thx!
