It was morning. Inside the Disciplinary Committee room, two guys were quietly seated, fairly apart from one another. The raven haired one, Hijikata Toushirou, was working with some papers probably something related to their club, while the other guy with sandy like hair, Sougo Okita, was seated beside the window watching everything beneath with a bored expression just like the usual.

Silence filled the air, not until Sougo spoke―

"Ne Hijikata-san."

Feeling obliged to respond, though with a hint of annoyance from his voice Hijikata briefly replied, "What is it?"

Sougo was now facing him.

"Can I kill you now?", then tilted his head, "Pretty please?" he continued; with his attempt to look pitiably cute just like all those moe and loli charas in animes but failed miserably. His ever bored face just gave it away.

"No."

―was Hijikata's abrupt answer. It was nothing unusual after all. He's already used with Sougo, openly stating his 'death threats' towards him. He could just brush it off, and focus with his chores.

But the Prince of Planet Sadists doesn't seem to be satisfied yet.

"Just this once Hijikata-san and it will be over."

And that marked the end of his composure. He finally stood, slammed the table in front of him probably to act his role as the tsukkomi.

"Of course it would be over when I die, you bastard!" he retorted as he pointed Sougo.

"Maa maa, it would only hurt at first then after that, it's gone."

"Hell yeah! I'll be gone from this world!" he shouted once again, his elongated legs now striding towards his sandy haired companion, "Oi Sougo! If you have time to spout nonsense like this then you should just hel―"

But then he passed by Sougo whom he was supposed to be confronting, instead he went to the window and was now observing something beneath. Sougo's stare was following his actions.

"The transfer student is with that China girl again." said he nonchalantly, pointing the said 'couple.'

An annoyed expression was slowly forming in Sougo's face as he heard his statement, " I know."

He didn't even dare to look and confirm the validity of Hijikata's statement.

"You're not going to do something about that?"

"Tch." he clicked his tongue, his face directed at a different place.

Hijikata didn't miss that sudden frustration in his face, "Not that I care about your relationships, but it's troublesome like this. You're just slacking off more than the usual."

He spoke as he returned to his seat and decided to just collect the unfinished papers on the table.

"She's still mine. That never changed."

With Hijikata's back facing him, he started exiting the room leaving a few words behind.

"Then claim her before it's too late, you idio―"

BOOOOOM!

And before he could even step a foot in the exit, a bazooka was launched directly at him. Thanks to his reflexes which he had mastered due to an everyday occurrence of ambushes from Sougo, he had skillfully dodged his attack without any scratches on him.

He immediately sprinted towards the culprit with a very enraged expression.

"TEME! What the hell was that for?! And where the hell did you even get that bazooka?!" said he, as he grabbed his collar.

"Sensei said katanas are not allowed." he replied, averting his gaze from Hijikata.

"OIIII! That didn't answer any of my questions?!"

Then he faced him, "My hand slipped." and continued, "*light tap on the head+tongue out* Te he~"

Yet another vain attempt of his Moe and Loli character imitation, which had only filled the burning rage inside of Hijikata. Now it was on Max Level.

" I'LL KILL YOU SOUGO!"

XXXXXXXXXX

Lunch time...

Sougo, who just bought an anpan with an orange juice (which he just picked randomly), was now headed towards their classroom to eat his lunch (though he was already consuming it as he walked.)

He wore that usual cool and calm facade of him, completely concealing his inner thoughts. He was actually still bothered with the conversation he just had with the nicotine lover mayo freak this morning.

Claim her before it's too late.

That bastard Hijikata. He was only showing off just because he already had his Aneue.

It really pissed him off. He didn't want to hear any love advice from the guy he loathed the most. And with those words that really hit BULL's EYE on him, it really felt disgusting. As if he'd listen to that bastard.

Of course he knew that. It's not like he wanted to share her to some trashes he didn't even know. But if it was that easy, then he wouldn't be this stressed. He wouldn't have been in a bad mood for almost a week that even the littlest things annoy him. Just the mere sight of Hijikata would piss him off, or maybe he was actually relieved that he could vent out his stresses on him, a little bit of torture or curses would lift up his mood.

But what could he do? It's been a week, a freaking whole week since that incident; that confrontation between them, that challenge she gave him, and still, nothing had changed. He was actually a tinee tiny bit worried on how he would face China after that but when they had seen each other in school she was like, ' Oh. It's you Sadist.' and acted like nothing happened, then she was still with that Sashimi being lovey dov― nah. there's no love. China doesn't love him at all. But there were no signs of breaking up between the two of them.

Just when he thought that there would be some exciting development between him and China, but they were actually back to square one. She didn't move and so did he.

He was almost reaching the door of their classroom. It was closed.

Maybe he should take the initiative and do it the Prince of Planet Sadist's way, like putting a leash on her neck while walking her around like a dog with its master or having a label on her saying, ' BEWARE: Sougo Okita's property' or maybe―

As he reached the classroom's entrance, he slid the door, while he scan around finding a nice place to eat his lunch.

―he could forcefully turn this fanfic into Rated M even with the incapability and unwillingness of the author to make explicit and complete lemon scenes.

But what came into view was a carroty like haired China girl, who, for some reason, maybe just to go along with this fanfic and make things easier, is all alone in the classroom during lunch time, sleeping soundly like a log and because everyone is busy eating somewhere, no one would be able to disturb them.

Maybe the third option wouldn't be so bad.

He was now moving gradually towards her," Maa, author-san. I trust your PERVERTED thoughts." with a slight curve beginning to form at the side of his lips as he closed the door.

Now the author is flailing and panicking for the main character's sudden disobedience.

He dragged a chair with him, placed beside hers and took a seat as he watched her sleeping profile while having that perverted half smirk.

But it's not like he could go against the author so he was forced to just continue with the real scene.

"TCH." he clicked his tongue with a damn-I-was-so-close expression in his face.

He leaned his head on his crisscrossed arms resting on the same desk as hers, taking up the tiny space left. Their faces were almost at a breath's width, with just their elbows separating them. She was the same as before, sleeping like an old man without a care in the world even with the pool of saliva trickling down from her mouth. It has been so long since he had watched her sleep at this distance. And seriously, even with the lack of feminity in her gestures, she still looked angelic. Too angelic that her serenity was more than enough to tame a demon.

He tilted his head on the right, resting on his right elbow as he reached out to her hair using his free hand. He held them dearly, adoring every strand of her hair. Hell. It was still as soft and as smooth as before. And the faint scent of her shampoo was completely intoxicating him. Now his field of vision was directed on her lips, her slightly open inviting lips. Damn. He was too irritated with the fact that even with little gestures like this, she could unconsciously seduce him with the littlest effort from her end..or maybe none at all. Seriously, this is too unfair for him.

She is sound asleep, and he is well aware of the fact that this girl, won't be awaken even with an occurence of explosion near her. Such perfect timing he thought.

He slightly raised his body. His right hand clasping into the edge of the desk, while the other one was carressing her chin and supporting her face reach his.

Self control? Shame? He had completely banished these words from his vocabulary at this moment. He's had enough of his self control. It was hella hard to suppress your desires when it's freely presented in front of you. He just had to grab the opportunity.

And it's not like he was sexually harrassing her in her sleep. It was her fault for being defenseless, and he was only taking advantag― Yeah. Excuses.

He didn't bother himself with his stupid thoughts. With his eyes closed he continued, until they were just a breath away. Just one more push and he'd be successful with this missio―

"Pervert."

When he opened his eyes, a pair of azure orbs came into view. She was awake and was obviously annoyed.

But he won't lose that easily.

"China. It's normal with adolescent boys like me." he spoke, not changing his stance at all.

"I am well aware of that, Sadist. I had experienced your perverted nature in the past, after all." she retaliated.

Her response elicited an amused smirk on his face, "Hehh. Very well said." he paused then followed his sentence with, "Then let's just continue―"

Just as he had predicted, she responded with a tightly balled fist aiming directly at his neck. He caught it right away. Then she struggled within his grasp until she was able to break free from him, almost hitting his chin with her head. Good thing he had skillfully dodged it.

She stood in front of him, both hands on her waist, " HAH! I told you Sadist! I won't surrender these lips *points* to you that easily!"

That's when it him. She just rejected his kiss...again. And she even had the guts to frankly point it out on him. Once is enough, two is too much. Nah. Two is DANGEROUS. He could see his pride lying on the floor, slowly crumbling into pieces. NO. As if he'd ever let that happen.

He was drowned in his thoughts but she still continued with her speech.

" HAHAHAHA! Take that you...you sexually frustrated pervert!" she boastfully stated, as she pointed him.

Too bad for this China girl. He had long been abandoned by his self control. He won't let her go away that easily.

Implementing his evil thoughts, he wasted no time. He came towards her as he extended his arm to hold her and would kiss her on the spot, until―

"Ah! Here you are, Kagura-chan."

That voice, that oh-so-gay voice that could effortlessly annoy him by just hearing it. He knew it well.

She peeked at the door, which was now opened, "Ohh! Sashimi-kun!" she exclaimed.

She then walked pass Sougo then spoke, "Bye stupid Sadist." and walked away like that, together with Hisashi.

And he just had to barge in, at a damn 'right' time, interrupting his supposed-to-be 'fun' time, and had even taken away HIS China with him.

The Prince of Planet Sadist has now made a mental note on this.

To be killed list:

1. Hisashi Hongo

2. Hijikata Toushirou

To think someone had actually placed Hijikata into second priority to be killed, he should feel honored.

XXXXXXXXXX

The next day...

Lunch time and he decided to just eat outside the classroom. Yesterday's events were still fresh to his mind, and he didn't want to get more irritated than he is.

Sougo was standing by the stair case, leaning his back on some nearby wall. This time he randomly picked donuts for his lunch, then tea for his drinks. He was busy consuming the confectionery in his hand that he didn't pay heed on those people passing by the corridor. Before he knew it, someone had already stolen his half bitten donut.

He finally noticed the girl in front of him, carefreely chomping down his snack as though she didn't commit any crime. Then he began examining the courageous girl who actually ate something she stole right before its rightful owner. Long dark azure locks almost reaching her waist, and a blank face having the same color of the eyes as him.

No doubt about it, it only described a certain donut freak from his classroom.

"Nobume-san. That's mine." he proclaimed, pointing the donut in her hand.

She faced him as soon as she finished her food. They really had the same expression, he thought.

She was staring keenly at him and he couldn't decipher her thoughts at all. Then without any notice, she grabbed both his wrists, gripping tightly on them, totally unabling him to stop her sudden actions.

Both were locked in each other's gaze, but not even a tad of romance could be felt around them.

"Marry me." she spoke with clarity and seriousness.

This was actually their first ever conversation and she had already said those intimate words to him.

He just grinned with this amusing scene, "If you're willing to be my lifetime slave then I may think about it."

A sudden halt of foot steps was then heard by him.

He must be imagining things that in his peripheral vision, with a distance where their conversation can be audible to the listener, a girl with vermillion hair tied up with a pair of buns came into view.

Nobume and him were now facing the third person who interrupted them.

A sudden thought came to his mind. Maybe he could take advantage of this situation? The thought of China tsundere-ly saying, 'So you were into big breast girls, huh? JUST DIE PERVERT SADIST!' or something along those lines, with a haughty attitude just to conceal her burning jealousy. Just little payback for what she's done to him in the past.

Nobume, completely oblivious of his thoughts, carefreely released his wrists after having a good look at the girl in front of her. She then faced him once again and spoke,

" Nah. I still prefer that braided guy." and left the scene immediately, as though her recent absurd action was already forgotten.

Sougo watched as she walked away.

Atleast China saw her intimately holding me. he thought, as he directed his gaze on the girl.

"Y-"

But she didn't give him a chance to talk or react, Kagura had already walked passed him like he was just an air.

Right at that moment, the strong impulse of grabbing her hand almost took over him. He wanted to explain himself. Wait. Explain? Is there even a point in explaining? Does he even have the right to explain? or more like, Does she even care about his explanation? He would probably get a 'So what?' reply from her. Wouldn't it only mean defeat? This is getting more stupid. He was actually thinking of doing something as degrading as that.

She was not affected at all. Her expression didn't change even with the sight of him flirting with another girl. No traces of jealousy or anger or annoyance, just the usual dumb look in her face. She didn't even try to speak even just one word to him. He was ignored no...disregarded, just like some stranger.

He felt like a fool getting his hopes up. He finally realized where her actions lead up to, why she gave that challenge to him, why she said those suggestive words, why she deliberately avoid his kisses despite knowing his ulterior motives. Everything, was to win against him. With all confidence, she would brag to him, 'HAHAHA! I win Sadist!'

She only wanted to compete with him. Hell. Did she ever see him as a man? An opposite gender? A possible love interest? Or all throughout this stupidity―

He is and will forever be, a rival to her.

XXXXXXXXXX

"F*ck this world." he spoke to himself as he stared at the sky with lifeless eyes.

Sougo Okita was sitting on some bench near the cafeteria. Both hands hanging freely on the back of it as he was still slurping the almost empty chuubert in his mouth.

He is currently ditching class but he could care less. It's not like he's cowering in China's presence; he just wanted some time alone just to cool down. He would just sleep through the lessons after all or piss China off, but he was not in the mood for these right. He just had to prepare for his Aneue's lecture if she knew this, courtesy of the mayo freak, the more reason he would kill him, but maybe he could think of the consenquences later.

His day had been so terrible and it just had to become worse. And why wouldn't it? He just had a conversation with the guy he hated the most (at the moment), Hisashi Hongo. His words were still lingering on him, which just added up to his irritation.

Flashback...

After that scene with Nobume, Sougo wandered aimlessly just to cool off his head, complete unaware of his surroundings that he had bumped into someone.

And that someone was no other than Hisashi Hongo.

Dammit. If only he knew it was him, he could've drawn out his katana (just where the hell does he hide his weapons?!), then stab him on the spot blaming the 'slippery' floor that he had 'accidentally' took out his katana and it 'accidentally' hit him, or just pass the blame to some random student within the vicinity.

"H-hi there, Okita-san." he stuttered, must be scared of the consequences because he had bumped on him.

He was alone, no China girl accompanying him. Well, she was not with him either when he saw a while ago.

"The China girl's not with you? Hehhh. How rare." he spoke.

"Ahaha...It's not like we necessarily need to be together always." he spoke timidly as he lightly scratched his head, then continued, "If you'll excuse me." he bowed his head,as politely as he could, then began walking pass him.

"Eh? You're breaking up Sashimi-kun?" he spoke with mockery, just to tease him.

Hisashi then stopped his movements to face him, a surprised expression apparent to his face. It even took him a couple of seconds before he had digested Sougo's question and reply to him.

He tilted his head, "Do you want us to?"

He must have given up on his life to have said that dangerously provoking statement to the Prince of Planet Sadists.

This brat. He was getting cocky of himself, just because he is her 'boyfriend' which was just a mere label, and meant nothing to her. It sounded like a challenge to him, like he was underestimating him and he just won't back down from him.

"Maa, it would happen eventually. She's the type who gets bored easily, after all." he replied.

Well he had come this far, might as well see it through the end, he didn't try killing him, so with enough courage to still face Sougo properly, he spoke, "You really know her well, Okita-san."

"Hell yeah. She's my rival after all. I must defeat her at everything."

He just let out a sigh, "You're really the same, you and Kagura." then suddenly changed the topic as he continued, "Uhhh...uhmmmmm...I-if Kagura-chan and I broke up, would you try getting her back?"

"And why would I?"

"E-eh? Because you still l-l-lo-lov-"

"Just mind your own business. "he replied coldly, "as he began walking out from the scene.

"Anone Okita-san." he spoke, succeeding to stop Sougo from completing leaving.

He looked back at Hisashi, "What is it now?"

"I may not be able to give her genuine happiness, but at the very least...my real feelings for her had reached her, that's enough for me. So...uhhh...Okita-san, don't take things for granted, and be honest with your feelings because she had always misunderstood your words&ac...tions?"

He faced him but there was no one there, "O-okita-san? Uhh...Okita-san?"

And there he was, lining up in the cafeteria, now threatening the poor guy whose only fault was to be in front of him with his bazooka, to change positions with him. His sadistic aura spreading throughout the place.

Hisashi just sighed and decided to retreat from there, but he knew that Sougo had heard it all.

End of flashback

"Ahh ahh...if only Hijikata-san would die, then everyone would be happy." he spoke out of nowhere, maybe just to calm himself.

First, it was Hijikata, then it was this Sashimi. Seriously, why does it have to be the 2 persons he wanted to kill the most who had burned their words in his mind. He just couldn't shake it off, especially when it had hit him double BULL's EYE.

Falling in love may not be meant for him. How could even a sadist, more so the Prince of Planet Sadists, have that emotion in him when he only saw girls as either pigs, bitches or slaves. But hell, he did, with that China girl. Why did it even have to be her? There were lots of girls after him, he could just randomly pick from them, put a leash on her and enslave her for a lifetime. That was her dream wife after all.

But it was solely because she is China. If she was like other girls, it would be boring, there won't be any challenge at all. An unorthodox love story was better for him than those typical fluffy and corny shoujo mangas.

He took his sleeping mask and placed it over his eyes. Maybe a peaceful nap is all he need. He decided to just sleep until dismissal and no one must disturb him.

He must really be cursed, cursed with the saying, ' First love never dies.'
