Long time no update my dear readers! I'm very sorry about the late update. I was a bit busy with my family and some personal problems. (/TДT)/ I am very sorry! *cries* And I forgot to tell you guys that the "(1) girl"in chapter 1 is Matako not Kagura.

…

…

His glare was intense for he knew his rival very well. But as he looked through her azure eyes, he could see a hint of unknowingness which made him scowl.

He gritted his teeth and asked even though he already knew the answer. "You don't remember me, don't you?" Kagura looked at him, wearing a confused expression before she shook her head.

This reply made him face palm. The girl was glaring at him like she remembered but actually did not. The others were also giving him confused looks. Of course, Gin and Katsura did not know her because they just met Sougo during their first year in high school. Sougo and Kagura met when they were still kids. It was a long time ago during their elementary days.

Flashback

The sky was blue and the morning was cold. It was 6:30 in the morning when Sougo arrived in Gakuen Furi. He only saw few students inside the school as usual. Nothing new happened so far.

He made his way towards the library to have his peaceful sleep.

Sougo Okita, also known as "Prince", is the most excellent student in Gakuen Furi. His academic grades are wonderful and are most of the time perfect. His skills in Physical Education are the best! He is the hot topic among all the females in the academy. None of the lasses ever thought of him as nothing. Even the teachers treat him so special!

The school bell rang (means 5 minutes before classes start). He removed his eye mask and started walking towards the classroom. As expected, girls squealed the moment he entered the room while males called out for him, "Okita, come join us!"

He shook his head. "Na, I'll be on my usual seat." He sat on the seat located at the corner on the last row. He looked outside the window, wearing his poker face. Outside he saw Hijikata, talking his teacher.

"Man, Hijikata is in trouble? Don't see that every morning."

Hijikata is an enemy of his but a friend deep inside. He is the only male whose popularity equalizes his, though he is in the higher level.

The teacher finally entered, placing his books on the table in front. It was their homeroom period. Mr. Kiseki appeared to be in a pretty good mood especially after he saw his favorite student: Okita.

"Everyone, please settle down. You guys have a new classmate so please take care of her."

Once he had said his lines, a petite girl with an orange hair tied in two buns, and sparkling sapphire eyes came inside the classroom. Her snow-white skin glowed under the light. She looked so innocent and cute!

Sougo furrowed his brows and stared at the girl. It was not love at first sight unlike his other male classmates. He was rather captivated by her unique features. It's not like everyday he sees a person with a very pale and unblemished complexion, especially with orange hair like hers.

She shyly looked up at the whole class and introduced herself, "I'm Kagura Yato, please take care of me." She bowed her head slightly.

"Yato-san, take the empty seat beside Mikoto-chan. Mikoto-chan, kindly raise your hand."

She sat at the given spot which was in front of the sadist and remained silent during the whole period.

It's been a month since Kagura transferred. She was very distant to people and hasn't made any friends since she never allowed a conversation to take too long if it was not needed.

Despite her lack in socializing, her grades were very high. She and Sougo even had the same all in all score, making both of them the top 1.

The only subject that gave her difficulty was Physical Education (P.E.), but she used Arts for a payback while Sougo was the other way around.

Kagura never participated during P.E. because of her body condition. The only reason she gave the teacher was that she was allergic to sunlight, and the subject always took place under the sun (outside the school campus).

. . .

One rainy day, class was suspended. Students started heading home and Sougo was waiting for his sister, Mitsuba, to pick him up.

"That damn Hijikata… he took my umbrella." He ran a hand on his hair then wandered around the place. That was until he saw the little Yato standing alone in the rain unprotected by her umbrella. She was gazing at the sky, letting the raindrops caress her bare skin.

He went closer to her and stood by her side.

"Hey, do you want to get sick. If you want to then you should have just tell me. I might have given you my Tabasco Special." His ruby eyes met her sapphire ones that went wide after hearing him mock.

"Stupid." She muttered but Sougo heard it clearly. He looked at her with dead fish eyes. "Watch your words."

Kagura gave him a cocky smile and replied, "You should watch your words too, Sadist."

"You want a fight, China? I will not show you mercy even if you're weak."

"Weak? Stop defining yourself." She slammed her umbrella on his abdomen, unexpectedly throwing him 20 meters away from her. He would have fly farther if he did not regain his feet on the ground.

His eyes widened in astonishment as she ran towards him, blowing a punch which he dodged right away.

That was the start of their rivalry. They had contests every class hours, comparing their grades and strengths. Both of them became troublemakers who always fought in class. Their principal was even surprised when he saw the two in his office because of the teachers' complains about their behavior.

After a few months, Kagura suddenly stopped attending school. This pissed Sougo so much that he tried to kill Hijikata six times a day (three times a day is the normal count for Hijikata). Nobody knew exactly why but they assumed that her family cannot afford the tuition fee any longer.

End of flashback

. . .

"Ooh… Nice flashback…" Katusra commented, "But why is the color black and white like an old movie?"

"Well, it's because it was a long time ago and I wanted that effect." Sougo deadpanned, his eyes never left the vermillion head.

Takasugi looked at Kagura's direction and asked if she remembers him. She shook her head in reply. "Taichi, I think it's best not to fight them. We don't have much time to enjoy the battle." A goofy grin replaced her frown as she scratched the back of her head.

"Taichi?" Hijikata asked, "I thought he's Takasugi?"

"He is Taichi, you fool! You weren't listening properly." Gin rammed his elbow on his head, receiving a glare after the process.

Takasugi ignored the two and began walking away. "Let's go." He called out to the other members of Blood Hunter, waving a hand to Gin and the others. "Kamui, Bansai, take Natsume and the others back in our main base."

"Hai." Both said in unison.

Kagura eyed Sougo before she turned around and left, together with Matako and Takasugi. Kamui and Bansai followed after they had picked up the battered men on the ground.

Inside the dormitory building…

Room 146…

Takasugi sat beside the window gazing at the sky, ignoring his roommates who were making a ruckus. Kijima was cooking dinner for her friends and a special dish for her crush when Kamui suddenly raided the kitchen, tasting the special dish she made for Takasugi. They started arguing until the female gave up, not wanting the food she was cooking to burn too much.

After Kijima returned her attention to the stove, oven and rice cooker, Kamui made his way to the bathroom (more like barged in) where his shocked little sister was taking a bath. His smile never left his face like always.

"Kamui-nii, get out of here!"

"Aaaw~ Imouto-chan is shy."

"THE HELL!"

"Don't be shy to your big brother. I want to join you."

"Get away from me!"

Kamui won in the end, joining his frustrated sister in the bathtub. Bansai can't help but chuckle at the bickering of the two. The group was not lively before until the siblings came, even Takasugi liked their presence though he can't admit it. But the allies/low ranked members preferred Kagura since they knew her brother's more sadistic side.

"Kagura," Kamui looked over his shoulder to see his younger sister, "scrub harder."

"You want me to scrub your back until your skin is gone?" She gave him a light punch on the back, "No really, what is it? I know you want to tell me something."

"Wow, you know me very well."

"Hello? I grew up with you ever since I was in mami's womb. That is like 14 years, baka-nii."

He laughed at her statement realizing how pathetic his last sentence was. Silence conquered the place until she heard his voice once again.

"I still don't like that boy."

"… I can see he still doesn't like you too."

"Don't hang around with him, okay?"

"…"

"And I think you already know what will happen when you disobey me."

Room 108…

"Katsura, have you seen my wallet?" Hijikata rummaged his bag and drawers, searching the small thing.

Katsura blinked twice before answering, "Nope."

Hijikata let out a groan from frustration. "Who was the last one who went out of our room?"

"I don't really know. When I left, Gin and Sougo were still here inside."

Gin suddenly spoke, his face covered with the latest jump he borrowed from Yamazaki, one of their comrades. He only said a word and that was enough to make the mayo freak shout in rage.

"SOUGO!"

Sorry if it is a bit too short but please review and read my next updates! The war for the title will begin at the next chapter. New characters will be introduced and some secrets will be revealed. This fanfic is short. The chapters may only take 8 or 10, but since my hands are full (most of the time), the update will be a bit slow. Thank you for reading and please review!
