Chapter 3: Namimori Disciplinary Committee…Where are the student councils?
"I'm late! I'm late! I'm late!" Hi-chan ran down the lightly busy street of Namimori. She ignore the strange look of fears on the faces of passbyers, the cute little kitten in a take-me-home box by the sidewalk (although she really wish to stop and cuddle it), even the fact that she had ran passed Tsuna didn't stopped her from heading to her school.
No! There is nothing that will stop her from reaching her goal, Midori All-Girls Middle School!
"Hold it!" Someone pulled the back of her uniform, successfully stopping her from her wild charge onto campus ground.
Looking up, she saw that it was Suzuki Mai, one of the four guardians that protect Midori Middle.
"Suzuki-sempai?"
"Who are you calling sempai, pervert?" The red hair girl growled at Hi-chan as she pulled back in confusion.
"Pervert?" Oh! That was right! She's a boy and boys aren't allows on Midori's campus. But she needs to see Haru-chan!
"For trying to trespass on Midori's sacred land, I, Suzuki Mai will pass judgment upon you, pervert!" She pulled out a bamboo sword and begun whacking him.
Hi-chan cowered under her arms, trying to prevent her highly respected sempai from killing her. How can this be? She had heard rumors, both good and bad about Midori's Four Guardians and now she knew why.
Although, Suzuki-sempai had good reasons for trying to chase off boys from their campus, the girl didn't even allow Hi-chan the chance to explain her reason for trying to trespass. No wonder some of her schoolmates got dumped by their boyfriend so soon after getting one! All of the boys must have been chased off when they were trying to pick up their girlfriends!
"STOP!" Hi-chan cried growing tired of being repeatedly hit. It hurt and the girl wasn't even that good with the sword.
Suzuki had stopped for a moment but after rethinking it, she didn't think that she should care what a boy had to say and so the hitting continues.
"Ano, Hibari-san?" A familiar voice called out, saving Hi-chan from a critical hit as both Suzuki and Hi-chan turns to see who had called.
"Haru-chan!" Hi-chan shout of happiness at seeing her best friend made all the pains seem like nothing as she charge toward the brunette.
The hug Hi-chan gave Haru got her another beating from Suzuki when Haru let out a surprise scream of fright.
"How dare you tried to attack one of Midori's girl in front of me?" Suzuki screamed as she charged once more into attack.
"Save me Haru-chan!" Hi-chan hid behind the shorter girl as Haru decided to calm her sempai.
"Are you sure?" Suzuki asked sending death-glare at the cowering Hi-chan.
"Yeah. It's fine, desu. Haru know him." Haru then send a signal for Hi-chan to follow after her away from the glaring guard of Midori's entrance gate.
Once alone, the brunette girl turns to face Hibari with a confused look wondering what he was doing at her school. Then a thought entered her.
"Did Tsuna-san send you here?" Haru's eyes sparked with excitement at the proposal that Tsuna might want to see her.
"You know where Tsuna-sn is?" Hi-chan cried happily when she realized that her friend does indeed know the location of the one she is searching for.
"Huh? Is Tsuna-san missing?" Haru asked the smile on her face dropped into confusion. "Didn't he head for school this morning? He didn't seem to have headed for anywhere else this morning when Haru greeted him…"
"Which school?" Hi-chan asked before Haru could continue.
"The same school you go to? Namimori Middle, right?" She was slightly freaked out by Hibari strange behaviors. This didn't seem like Tsuna's normal cloud guardian. The Hibari she knows was scary but cool and calm, not like some crazy fansgirl searching for her future husband.
OH MY GOD! It can't be! Haru stared at the empty spot where Hi-chan had disappeared from. That guy is going to steal Tsuna-san from Haru!
Tsuna was at Namimori Middle. Hi-chan was going to Namimori Middle. She goes to the same school as Tsuna! Hi-chan was happily dashing toward her new favorite school. She even jumped over a fence into the yard of a very surprise couple who were just about to kiss each other good-bye for the day.
She didn't stop to apologize. Neither did she stop to wait for the light to change from red to green as she maneuver her ways around the 'honking' cars nor the little boy crying for 'grape candies'.
She even bypassed Tsuna once again and ignored the happy greeting from Yamamoto as well as the harsh cursing of Gokudera for 'scaring Juudaime'.
As Hi-chan slide her way onto Namimori Middle School's campus, she let out a victory shout.
"I've made it! I'm not late!" Wait, who care if she was late! She was on a search for love not to keep a perfect attendant! And why was there a tall man coming toward her? He looks like a delinquent. Oh no, kama-sama couldn't be that cruel as to make her a victim of bullying, could he?
"Chairman!" the delinquent's shout made her jumped as she turn to see who he might be calling. It must be the bancho of the school, if the guy was calling for his 'chairman'.
"You're finally here…what are you wearing?" the relief statement of Kusakabe Tetsuya turned into a confused question as the Vice-leader of the Disciplinary Committee look at his leader dressed in the standard spring uniform instead of the usual black disciplinary coat.
When Hi-chan begins to move away from the man, she became surprise when Kusakabe started following her. Slightly irritated when the man begin spouting nonsense about a her uniform, Hi-chan stopped to faced him.
"What's it to you how I dress?" Her question came out deep and angry even though she was just slightly tired from the mad dash from Midori Middle to Namimori Middle.
Kusakabe flinched backward a step, wondering what landmine he was stepping on and how badly it was going to blow. Was it because he question Hibari's change of fashion? Will the phrase, 'I'll bite you to death' appear at his door step? He surely hopes not as he pulled himself back a step from the shorter boy.
"Ch-chairman…"
"Chairman?" Hibari growled at him and he gulped. It was like Hibari was saying: "That's right. I'm the chairman. I'll dressed as I like, whenever I want." He was soooo going to die today!
"Heeeiii! Hibari-san!" The scream of Tsuna's voice made Hi-chan turns toward the entrance to school. Tsuna was walking onto campus with Yamamoto and Gokudera, both also seem to be rushing toward her pulling Tsuna along.
"G-good morning! We're heading to class now!" Tsuna screamed while Hi-chan became too stun from having finally found the person she had been searching for all morning long. Tsuna even greeted her! She could die happy.
"You look nice in the uniform, Hibari! See you later." Yamamoto greeted as the three boys walked passed her.
Before she could turns and followed, she was pulled back by Kusakabe.
"Chairman, we really need to hurry to the office! You got some really important documents to sign before homeroom end!" Kusakabe yelled. A part of him still screaming that he was going to die, but if that was going to be the case, he might as well get his greatly admired leader to finish all his jobs before getting kills.
He was determined to have Hibari finish all those paperwork by today. He was going to dead by the end of the day after all, might as well get all the work done before dying.
Hi-chan didn't know what had happened. One moment she was about to follow after Tsuna and his friends. The next she was inside a very nice and airy office with sack of paper dropping down before her.
"Why am I doing this again?" Hi-chan asked as she signed another piece of paper without really looking at the contents.
"It's your job." Was the simple short answer she got from the only other person in the room. A student, supposedly the same age as her by the name of Kusakabe Tetsuya. The guy was supposedly her vice-chairman.
Hi-chan looked one of the sheets over. The one's with the least amount of writing only to realize that it was a petition asking for chocolate puddings for Friday's lunch.
"Aren't these the works of the student counsels?" She asked growing tried from all the signing she had done within the last fifteen minutes since she got locked inside this room. Okay so she was being melodramatic since the door wasn't exactly locked and she could escape if she really wanted to. But she didn't know what class she was supposed to go to. Is she perhaps in the same class as Tsuna?
"You destroyed the student council during your first year, remember."
No. No she doesn't remember because this was not her life. This was the life of her crazy counter-part! Why did he destroy the student council?
"Those fools thought they could prevent you from bring tonfas to school…" Hi-chan was slightly surprised that Kusakabe had continued. Her first impression of him was of a scary delinquent, her second was of a scared beat-up bear, right now, she admires his courage despite his 'I'm going to get kill by my boss' attitude; the boss being her. "…and so you created the Disciplinary Committee to destroy them."
Hi-chan looked at the taller teen in disbelieve at the last part of his sentence. Did she heard him right? She destroy…no, it should be he, the Kyouya of this world…had destroy the student council because of 'tonfas'?
That was the reason? No way right? She wouldn't do that…no maybe she would when she remember all the cool gadgets that were being build inside those tonfas. Yeah, she would totally do it for the tonfas! And bring stuffed animals to school!
"But…don't I still need to be in class?" she asked when her original intention of finding out which class she's in came back to her.
"What are you talking about Chairman? You've already finished all the studies offered by Nami-Chuu since your first years."
"Huh? Really? Then why am I even here? If what you said is true, then with my grades, aren't I able to enter high school already?"
Kusakabe Tetsuya turned into a stone statue that day. Inside his mind the phrases: 'Hibari want to go to high school' and 'Hibari want to abandon Nami-chuu' continued to ring within his head like a badly looped recording. 'Hibari want to go to high school.' 'Hibari want to abandon Nami-chuu.' "The world had ended…"
"What?" Hi-chan's scream didn't even penetrate Kusakabe's brain. Instead she jumped out her chair and looked toward the sky outside the office's window. "Is the sky falling?"
AN: LOL! Sorry about the last line! I originally wanted to write 'the meteors are falling', but the cheesy phase from 'Chicken Little" hit me like a ton of brick when I remember that Tsuna is the sky. Get it? 'The sky falling' equal to 'Tsuna is falling!' Stupid idea. I know, but I couldn't help myself.
Anyway thank you all for your support!
