Any mistakes or irregularities spotted would be appreciated. Ideas and twists appreciated as well. Also, the prologue can be used by any author out there to create more school rumble fics with different characters.

~Kuro (-_o)

While Hibari wreaked chaos upon the 2nd years, a scene similar to the 2nd year placement boards was taking place. The 1st years huddled in front of the placement boards, scrutinizing the lists, trying to find themselves their respective classes.

While a number of the students here were merely satiating their curiosity, a large number of them were on their knees, praying for the gods to have mercy on their souls.

These students were from Yagami Middle school, the ones who had suffered for three years. Three brutal years of being bitten to death by the shinigami himself.

" Please don't let be be in Hibari's class, please don't let me be in Hibari's cla-"

" If there is a god out there, have mercy on me. I don't think I can take another three years.."

" Kami-sama, I beg of you..."

These were the sensible students, still bound by the survival instinct called common sense that urged for their continued existence. Kami-sama would cut them a break.

Another group of students, albeit, much smaller were on their knees too. Their prayers were headed in another direction.

" Let me be Yakumo's class, let me be in Yakumo's class, let me be in-"

" Allow me to gaze upon Yakumo-chan for another year Kami-sama."

" Give me a chance to capture Yakumo's heart this year Kami..."

This group was sorely lacking in the common sense department and would probably experience early deaths.

Meanwhile, in heaven.

" Ask and you shall receive, consequences be damned you brave bastards..."

Back to Earth...

It was upon this scene that Yakumo arrived after separating from her sister. Seeing the crowd made her nervous. A dislike of crowds that she shared with the lone skylark. She could immediately perceive the thoughts of the boys praying to be in her class.

The thoughts varied from innocent to devious, eliciting a small sigh from the raven beauty.

Clutching her bag a little tighter, she made her way as inconspicuously as she could. She did not need a headache from being swarmed by her admirers this early in the morning. Reaching her destination in front of the boards she proceeded to search out her new class.

As she browsed through the names, a thought went through her head.

' It would be nice to be with Hibari-kun...'

In the midst of browsing through the names, Yakumo had let her guard down. Like a floodgate, her presence flooded the area.

" My Yakumo sense is going off...ah, there she is!"

The crowd, compromising of the old admirers as well as some new recruits proceeded to slowly surround her. By the time she noticed, it was too late. She was assaulted by the combined thoughts of a plethora of boys.

' She looks so cuteeee!"

' I think I just fell in love!"

' What I wouldn't do to make her mine...'

' Give me one night with her body, that's all I need...'

Under the brunt of this assault, Yakumo's mind experienced a sharp pain. She really disliked crowds.

As she struggled to retain her composure, she picked out a couple thoughts that definitely increased her problems.

' I'm going to go for it, I'll ask her out!'

' That monster's not around, this is my chance!'

' I'll declare my love for her here right now!'

As Yakumo began to buckle from the onslaught of foreign thoughts, she struggled to focus on a single image of a certain skylark.

" Kamikorosu herbivores..."

...

" SHIT, ITS HIBARI, EVASIVE MANEUVERS NOW NOW NOW!"

" I KNEW IT WAS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE!"

" What's the big deaahhhhhhhhhhhh-"

The fresh recruits suffered immediate casualties as the more experienced veterans fled as fast as humanly possible.

A swing here, a strike there. Much better. No more crowding.

As this was happening, Yakumo remained oblivious, focusing only on the image of Hibari. His sharp features. His unflinching gaze. His broad back. His heavenly body... Those perfectly shaped abs...

Yakumo exploded in an atomic blush. It was at this moment that she became aware of the lack of thoughts invading her mind and looked back.

Her blush returned with a revengeance as she saw Hibari right behind her.

" Ah...G...G...Good morning H...H...Hibari-k...k..kun..."

" Good morning Yakumo."

Yakumo turned her gaze forwards as her cheeks remained flushed. Hibari made his way to her side and swept the surrounding areas with his sharp gaze.

" Ummmm... H...Have you found your class H...Hibari-kun?"

Hibari brought his gaze to rest on her and answered lazily.

" It is unnecessary. I may join where I wish..."

Yakumo looked down and hid her disappointed expression from Hibari.

" I...is that so..."

Hibari merely dismissed his observation of her melancholy and got straight to the point. Talk about blunt.

" I will be needing your assistance this year as well Yakumo...Very well, I shall take my leave now..."

Hibari missed the smile that was aimed his way as he went to find Tetsu...( That's Kusakabe, they're brothers due to being reborn and share the name Hibari, though Kusakabe prefers to be called Tetsu by Kyoya.)

As Yakumo watched the disappearing figure of one Hibari Kyoya, she couldn't help but remember their first meeting fondly...

Flash back...

Yakumo was 12 and she was miserable. Children were supposed to be innocent bundles of joy that were incapable of harm. But the harsh truth was that children could be unimaginably cruel and ruthless.

Her first day of middle school and she was the main target of the bullies. Being different meant being alone. Her beauty was prominent from this early on in her life and it was doing the opposite of earning her admiration.

The girls were jealous. They made their cliques and ostracized her. They refused to play with her. To sit near her. To acknowledge her. The called her a " Weirdo" and kept their distance.

The boys, experiencing attraction for the first time were unable to interact with her. How were you supposed to talk with a girl you liked. What were you supposed to do? Unable to come up with a proper approach, they followed the girls and scorned her.

Yakumo was 12 and she was miserable. And she was alone. So very alone.

She found herself surrounded by the boys at the end of the first day of middle school. They had her bag and were calling her names. Oh how she wanted to disappear right now. To just be at home with her sister.

She attempted to grab her bag back. Without it, she couldn't go home. Oh how she wanted to be home right now.

" P...p...please g...give me my bag b..back..."

" Whaaaaaaaaat? I'm sorry, I don't speak weirdo. Hey guys, any of you speak weirdo?"

As the boys laughed at their jokes, tears threatened to fall from Yakumo's eyes.

" Tell you what, if you give us all a kiss each, we'll give you your bag..."

As the boys minds slowly turned towards a darker direction, Yakumo began to hear their thoughts.

' She may me a weirdo but she's still pretty..."

Yakumo earnestly began to cry as the situation slowly took on a slightly darker turn.

Why were they doing this?... She hadn't done anything to them. She hadn't done anything to the girls. So why were they being mean to her.

Yakumo slowly felt herself sinking into despair.

...

" Kamikorosu..."

Who was that? Who would he bite to death? Was it her again...Figures...

Thwack!

" Ahhhhhh, tha...that hurts...wahhhhhhh-"

" I'm going to tell the teacher you hit Makaba.!"

Thwack!

" Kamikorosu...herbivores..."

" We'll tell our parents Baka!"

...

Yakumo opened her previously shut eyes and looked at her savior.

He was a slightly tall 12 year old boy with sharp features. In his hands were two steel tonfas. Pinned to his shoulder was a red and gold arm band.

" Th...th...thank you..."

" It is of no concern. Weak herbivores gang up on other herbivores because they have no strength..."

Yakumo awkwardly stared at the boy for a few seconds before speaking.

" I'm so...sorry for the trouble. I'm Y...Yakumo."

Hibari scrutinized her up and down before answering.

" Hibari Kyoya...small herbivore..."

Small herbivore?

Hibari stared for a bit and then said as he looked away.

" Small herbivore, you can come help me... I am in need of an aide currently..."

Yakumo's eyes widened as she heard his request ( command ). Was he offering to protect her?

Looking more closely at this boy, Yakumo blushed a little and looked away.

" O...of course Hi...Hibari-kun..."

From that moment onwards, Yakumo had followed Hibari around. She had started by helping with class duties as well as chores. When she had gained enough courage, she had made a bento and some tea for him. He had politely accepted and had returned the courtesy.

Rumors had gone around about her and Hibari being a couple.

" Kamikorosu..."

Well that was solved rather ruthlessly.

During this time, Yakumo had begun to hear the thoughts of more and more people. She had managed to ascertain that she could hear the thoughts of people who liked her. But no matter what, she couldn't hear a single thought from Hibari.

This intrigued her and made him her only companion. Yakumo had also begun to question her feelings regarding Hibari.

Did she like him? He was certainly handsome but what mattered to Yakumo was what was on the inside. And she had managed to unravel the mystery of Hibari Kyoya just a little.

He was gentle. The small animals they had encountered on their patrols had shown that. He would gently call out to them and would treat them as well, if not better, as any loving pet owner. His small Disciplinary Committee HQ was filled with cats, chipmunks, squirrels, hamsters, hedgehogs, sparrows and various other animals. Yakumo loved to come here and play with them.

He was righteous. Most of his actions were influenced by the strict rules he had imposed for the school and himself. He would rarely break them and would not cause trouble with the power he wielded.

But the thing Yakumo liked most about Hibari was his love for the city. The reason he was so ruthless was so that he could maintain order and peace within the city he now called his own. All he actually did was protect.

Regardless of all this, Yakumo's love came into fruition during their last year in middle school. Hibari and her had been patrolling the school boundaries when a street gang had come searching them out.

" So it's true, there really is a princess being guarded by a dragon huh...Hahahaha. That's cute."

" Herbivores...for trespassing on school property...Kamikorosu..."

Yakumo had attempted to move to the side so as not to cause trouble when a lanky thug had dashed up to her and had attempted to slash her with a wicked looking knife.

Keyword, attempted.

Hibari had managed to dispatch most of the gang in that short moment but had let one slip through his guard.

Curse this pubescent young body.

He had dived in front of Yakumo at the last moment and had taken the slash for her.

Yakumo had fallen on her back and just managed to see Hibari dispatch the last thug. She felt the usual sense of relief after every fight.

Until he turned around. There, across his chest was a deep gash. Even now it was bleeding his white shirt red.

" HIBARI-KUUUNNNN!"

Hibari merely spared his wound a glance before speaking.

" I will be all right Yakumo..."

Yakumo by now had tears running down her face as she ran up to him and began pounding on his chest where the wound was.

" WHY!WHY! WHY DID YOU SAVE ME! I'M NOT WORTH GETTING HURT OVER!"

Hibari merely stared into her eyes as he calmly replied.

" Because you are mine..."

For Yakumo,the world stopped. With tears marring her usually stoic face, she stared into Hibari's eyes. It was at this moment that Yakumo truly and irrevocably fell deeply in love with one Hibari Kyoya.

Flash back end...

Yakumo stared at the fading figure of her crush with a blush before the weariness of having her ability and the earlier attack to her psyche caught up to her and she went to find a place to sit.

Hibari merely continued on his way to the new Disciplinary Committee HQ as Kusakabe fell into step beside him.

" Tetsu... Issue the challenge..."

" Hai Kyo-San."

Though Hibari had already set up the Disciplinary Committee here, there were a few who dared to oppose his authority. He would gain complete obedience and nothing else. It was easier to maintain the peace when people followed the rules.

Also, Hibari would get to go all out for once and bite more people to death..

Hibari merely smiled.

" Kamikorosu...herbivores..."

OMAKE...( Two of them actually...)

1. Hanai was making his way towards the placement boards in quite the uncharacteristic hurry. He was never late. He made it his goal to do everything to his utmost best. How was he supposed to beat that Kusakabe for the role of class representative if he couldn't even be punctual.

He would have made it too, if it wasn't for Cupid, or in this case an idiot, choosing this exact moment to strike.

In heaven...

" Watch this Kara-chan, I never miss!"

" Kami-sama... I don't think you should touch Cupid-sama's things..."

" Ahhhh don't be a spoilsport Kara-chan, I just want to show you my awesomeness!"

Back on earth...

" Hey isn't that the rumored freshman..."

" Wahhhhhhh! So pretty...she looks like a spring goddess!"

" I bet we would look like we were dozing off if we were sleeping...it's so unfair!"

There, sleeping on the bench was Yakumo. Dozing away her mental fatigue.

Her head tilted just a little to the left, her lips parted just a little. With the sakura petals falling around her, she was indeed a spring goddess.

As Hanai stood rooted, riveted by this scene of radiant beauty, an ethereal and pink arrow struck him straight in the heart.

" Nani? What Is this feeling. This feeling that overflows from the depths of my heart? Surely such wondrous feelings can only be one thing..."

Hanai made for quite the strange sight as he stood there slowly shivering with fists clenched.

" I, HANAI HAVE FALLEN IN LOVE ON THIS BEAUTIFUL SPRING DAY WITH A GODDESS!"

" What's wrong with him?"

Yakumo slept inert, oblivious of the events about to unfold.

" But why is she asleep?...Ah, a kiss. She must be waiting for her prince to awaken her from her slumber. How romantic. That must be it."

Hanai blushed a little as he strode over to Yakumo and leant a little closer.

' This is fate my beautiful goddess!'

Hanai scrunched up his lips and slowly leaned in, eager to light the fires of the love that was sure to ignite vigorously...

Thump!

Only to find himself staring at the clear blue sky as his back protested vehemently in pain.

" Nani?"

" Whoa, she's got amazing reflexes to react as fast as that from just being woken up!"

" No...look at that, she's still sleeping!"

Yakumo continued to sleep blissfully unaware as Students passed by wondering at the strange scene.

In heaven...

" WAHHHHHHH! SAVE ME KARA-CHAN, CU-CHAN IS TRYING TO SHOOT ME!"

...

" I'm beginning to regret this..."

2. Yakumo's eyes were still a little red from her earlier outburst. There was a blush present on her cheeks as she led the skylark towards the infirmary. She couldn't get his previous words out her head.

' You are mine...'

Her blush grew.

Behind her was a slightly perplexed Hibari. He had never seen his aide react like that. The girl he had seen as tolerable companionship had completely been unlike her usual stoic and composed self. Even now she would not meet his gaze.

Was she upset about his earlier statement regarding her position as his aide. Maybe she did not appreciate being under him. He might have to release her from her functions if she was not satisfied.

With the girl misinterpreting the boys words, an awkward silence had befallen the two. Finally reaching the infirmary, Hibari handed Yakumo his master key and proceeded inside.

There was no nurse present and Yakumo took it upon herself to treat the wound she had inadvertently caused.

" H...H..Hibari-kun...your shirt..."

Hibari complied and discarded his shirt. Yakumo proceeded to clean his chest of all the blood and flinched at the sight of the gash. It was deep, cutting diagonally from his left shoulder to the center of his chest.

As she continued to clean him, she slowly began to become conscious of his hard and toned body.

' H...H...H...Hi..bari-kuns ch...ch...ch...chest!'

Yakumo began to blush neon red as her fingers unconsciously began to roam from his chest to his stomach. Her face took on an even redder hue.

" What is it...Yakumo?"

" No...no...nothing Hi...Hibari-kun!"

" ...hnn..."

Yakumo couldn't take her eyes off his body. She was shocked at her own audacious behavior as she unknowingly committed his image into her heart.

' So toned...'

Nudge...

Huh, why was she being shaken? And by whom?

" I will not allow my aide to skip classes...wake up Yakumo..."

Yakumo jumped to her feet as she was awoken from her pleasant dream and turned to face the skylark that had woken her.

" Ah...Gomen Hi...Hibari-kun, I will leave immediately."

Yakumo blushed yet again as memories of her dream began to come back to her.

' Is he still that toned? ARGHHH WHAT AM I THINKING! I SHOULDNT BE THINKING ABOUT STUFF LIKE THAT! Even if it's pleasant...'
