Chapter 3: Drunken confession and sneaky kiss

Your pupils extended as if you don't believe in what lie naked in front of your glittering eyes. You release a sound of disbelief. Did Hibari really do that?

Your little heart is thumping in your chest so hard it might beat its way out, a small shiver shimmies down your spine. Your legs are shaking, and your hands grasp towards the bounty before you.

Butterflies fill your stomach.

" You better close your mouth before some flies got in and rot your stomach, pull up your pant, it's sliding down. You idiot herbivore. Hurry up, we have an important meeting." Hibari angrily quipped and rushing toward the door.

He gives you a glare as he walks pass you. The door slammed hard as if it'd break.

That idiot herbivore, the longer i stay with her, the more of heart attacks i will get. Urgh. Luckily I left early . If i stay there longer, i don't know what things i might do to that idiotic girl. Hibari leave out a sigh as he leans and slide down against the door , hiding his face in his palms . Sweats are rolling down his cheek.

On the other side of the door , you're happily stuff yourself with a bunch of the asian food Hibari prepared. That was what make you surprised earlier. Because you never expect a sadistic guy like Hibari know how to do those stuff. Imagining him with the apron, standing in the kitchen with the ladle, enough to make you roll on the floor and laughing your butt off.

Speaking of it, you never see Hibari's family members. This house is deadly silent. It's so spacey, enough to make people feel like they want to leave.

" The food will be leave for dinner so don't..." Hibari stopped as he looked at you in disbelieve

" You...you...freaking ate all that ? " he continued.

" It's yummy though. I was about to ask you to do more of it but you left." you innocently explained

"Grrrr. I never expect a small girl like you can eat that much. Whatever, i'll give you 5 second to be at the door and clean all that mess up." He growled.

FIVE SECOND? ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME? God damn you stupid Hibari cow . I'll someday die from anger because of this kid. You sighed.

" Wait, HOW ABOUT THE PANTS?" you screamed , hoping Hibari will hear it somehow. But it was too late, Hibari already at the door waiting for you.


Students in Namimori curiously stop and stare at you walking behind Hibari, without being beat up or being told to go away. Not even member of Disciplinary Committee allow to stay with him that close. So this event is hooking up people's attention. But they are not stupid enough to make a crowd in front of Hibari. Some of them are just standing far away from him.

The whispering and weird looks given by everyone is getting on your nerves. It's not like you want to stay with him this close. Well, maybe you did. But not anymore. After all the things that happened. You start to be aware of Hibari , and question yourself if you still like him after knowing he isn't the prince charming you always wish him to be. While deep in thought you didnt have time to comprehend the blur of motion and color as something flew towards your face.

Suddenly, you feel your feet are in the air and your wide eyes are starring at the cement. The blood is flushing onto your head making you feel dizzy. You hang off his shoulder like a ragdoll, your head lies on the contour of his back feeling the movement of each step. His arms hold your bare legs keeping them warm from the remains of winter in the spring wind. You hear Hibari breathe in the fresh air and you feel warmth in your cheeks You slightly blush the moment you realize Hibari was carrying you like a pig on his shoulder. The surprising looks given by everyone make you blush even harder. Enough to make you want to hide your face somewhere.

Embarrassment turns into anger. How dare him do this to you in front of everyone, without even asking or consider my thoughts/feelings? You quietly growled

" Hibari, Can you please put me down? This is really awkward. I can walk by myself you know. I don't want to bother you." You excused yourself

" You're wasting my time, herbivore. You're walking too slow. Being a chairman teach me not to be late to any important meeting. Plus, this meeting involve the female students in Namimori and the business you have with me. " Hibari explained. He shows a sign of annoyed.

" But it was your pants' fault!" you yelled

" Wrong! It was your fault for being too skinny. Now shut your mouth of i'm going to shut it for you." Hibari rudely threw you on the commitee floor, without realizing how hard it was

" Ow!" you moaned. A sudden pain approach your back. Your eyelids feel heavy and the darkness starts so consume the last peek of lights. Soon, you found yourself give up to the unconsciousness.

"Hey you, stop pretending." Hibari complained . Hibari's heart tightened once he realized you are unconscious . A tinge of regret hung heavily at his feet. Hibari slowed his pace and let his mind loose with thoughts of what he should have done and what he should not have. Hibari gazes at you, his eyes portrayed a side of gentleness as he started to lean closer. He caresses your cheek and the look in his eyes became softer. Soon, he was close enough, his breath brushed your face. Hibari closes his eyes and gently presses his lips on yours . The warmth of his lips coaxes you into a lullaby. Hibari slowly opens his eyes and watches you dream he drew himself up and turn away.

The noises grow stronger and louder. Enough to knock at you eyelids and make you wake up. But once you sit up straight, a sudden pain hit your head like a thousand needles stab through it. Suddenly, your train of thought got cut the moment you found yourself dress up fancy in a dress and lying on a sofa. Your face turned pale as if there was a vampire suck all the blood away. Cover up your chest in suspicious. Did something "wrong" happen? You remember being rudely threw on the floor by Hibari and now you ..changed? Could it be that Hibari...do this? Did he make you unconscious in purpose to take advantage of you? The tears start filling up in your eyes. You start sobbing.

" You woke up? Herbivore" Hibari asked

" What the hell did you do? How the hell did i get change and why?" you cried

" What make you think I would do it? Hurry up. The school dance start." Hibari explained

" What school dance?" you questioned.

" Hmph! You have a business with me. Remember? You offered that you'll help capturing the culprit of the female students gone missing case. After investigating, we narrow down the culprit is within the school ground. That's why there's a school dance here. " Hibari mumbled.

"Oh yah" you smiled stupidly .

Hibari narrowed his eyes and walk away without leaving a word.

You step warily in the school party, your eyes skimming the crowd in search of someone suspicious. People stare at you in disbelieve, some of them whistling at you, trying to capture your attention. You glance into a mirror as you past and give yourself a similar awe'd stare. You smile back at the whistlers, realizing why and deciding it was the best way to lure out the culprit. It's your job to spot who he is, so you make your way though the crowd, toward the waiting tabels. After getting a fizzy pink drink, you wander out to the patios after nothing happened inside. Sucking in a deep breath, your oddly grogy eyes dont notice the shadow that dances over top of yours, making it grow.

Cold, long fingers grip you shoulder surely. Your heart jumps into your throat, and on a split second reaction you whirl around in surprise. Now your eyes are bright with adrenaline as you stare into dark beady eyes. Your heart is pumping so loud, you are sure that he could hear it!

"May i refil your drink, m'lady?" He whispers placing his hand around your, which is gripping your shaking glass. Fighting to steady your hand, and not wrench it away from the classmans grip, you stutter;

"Y-Yes thank you," You need some more anyway. Still holding your hand, he pulls you over the a nearby tabel, and pours you a glass of a diferent fizzy, this time orange, punch. Finally he lets go of your hand, but still watches you intently. You fidget nervously under his stare, unsure of what to do next, so you take a long pull out of your cup.

Unsure of the bitter edge the cocktail contains, you take another sip.. and then another, but still the flavour remains. But now most of your drink does not. You start to feel a bit dizzy and darkness eats your mind. You feel everything is spinning and your head is heavy as if carrying a 100kg bag of rice. The guy smirks, but you dont really care what about.

"C-can I sit down, or must i stand while you stare?" you mutter suddenly peeved by the random guys presence. Without a word the guy grabs your hand once more and leads you a small distance away to a small door behind a grape vine fence. You protest as he tries to push you into the dark, but his hand has turned into a vice, and you struggle to escape your capture. Suddenly everything clicked. The drink, with its bitter aftertaste, the dizzyness and the guy on her wrist. You struggle harder through your drunken haze, not wanting to fail Hibari and become another victum.

A man's arm suddenly shot out and hit your attacker with a steel-silver blur.

"Get off of her!" A familar voice shout, distorted with rage. You stumble to your feet, as you had been pulled down with the culprit. "Stay down!" Hibari shouts, his voice only slightly gentler when he yells at you. And then the surrounding shubbery burst to life as what seemed like 20 other commitee member burst from the trees. Half of the group ran down the steps withing the door, the others staying behind to assist Hibari and you.

"Chairman. What shall we do with.. him?" One of them questioned Hibari, who was walking to wards you, now that the Suspect was laying unconcious on the grass.

"Lock him up," Hibari growled, sparring a glance at the unconsious body, "i'll deal with him later."

With that hibari scooped you up, your head resting against his broad chest, and turned to the rest of the commitee. "I'll be taking her home.. she seems.. traumatized." He stated, a smile teasing his lips as he assessed your current state. You squim and try to get out, but his strong arms hold your securly in place.

"I-im not... " you start to protest but your inturupted by a wide yawn that stretches your mouth. Suddenly very tired you snuggle into your prince's arms.

You wake up not long after, still in his arms, bouncing lightly. Confused your eyes flutter open and try to look around. You recognize the street as Hibari's and wonder how he'd gotten there so fast. The booze still coursing through your system, a sudden spark of courage lights in your head. Your hand reaches up and brushes through his soft, smooth hair.

"waoo... its so soft!" you murmer suprised it was not stiff with wax. Again the flame burns higher and you suck in a deep breathe. "Hib- Hibari-kun?" You inwardly curse yourself for the stupid "kun" you tacked on, blushing you continue. " I-I... I l-"

"I love you?" He whispers, His dark eyes dancing as he finishes for you. Your blushes gets so bright you could light a christmas tree!


The light turns your lids red as the morning sun lies on your face. But that isnt the reason you feel so warm. You cuddle in closer to the heat source, And his arm hug you tighter. Your movement woke him and he clutches at you so tight it reminds you of the image of a young boy huggin his teddy. Now annoyed, you squirm and wiggle attempting to be free of the tight grip.

"Hey. You owe me," Hibari yawns widely, not releasing you, "I think I've decided my punishment... you will stay with me forever. Until i grow bored and turn you lose." Your heart grows warm, and instead of fighting you let yourself be hugged, sure you can put up with THAT punishment.
