Chapter 3.
Which twin are you rooting for? XD
The entire week was full of stupidity and randomness. Sora couldn't exactly find any better words to describe it. It was near the end of the week and all Hibari asked Sora to do was help around the committee and from time to time, spar. Sora knew that Hibari was angry with him because of the lack of enthusiasm while fighting. To be honest, Sora, never in his life, had used all of his strength and power to fight anyone. It was never necessary.
"Hibari-san's so nice!~" Kimiko had told him earlier that week. It was ever since he made that deal with the prefect that his sister had been complimenting him. Sora's eye twitched. "Nee, Sora-kun, what's the best advice you'd give me for capturing a guy's heart?"
Sora nearly choked on his dinner. He didn't exactly make it evident, to Kimiko, it simply looked like he was thirsty. Sora forced a smile.
"Kimiko-sama, where'd that question come from?"
"I'm just curious on how to win over Hibari-kun!" Kimiko said with a large smile. She was blushing. Sora grimaced. His attempts to keep the prefect away from his sister just made them closer. Well, he assumed, well, hoped, it was unrequited love (he didn't mean this in any offensive way to Kimiko).
"I'm sure any smart man would fall in love with you, Kimiko-sama," Sora said, taking a drink of his water again. "Do you suppose it's wise to be asking me this?"
"I'm not so sure… Also, you've been quite close to him lately," Kimiko said. Sora's eye twitched subtly. "I was hoping you'd have pointers. Oh well."
Sora simply smiled.
He now had a reason to fight Hibari enthusiastically.

"Good morning, Hibari-senpai," Sora said with a smile. It was a monday morning, Sora was in a bad mood, and the whole cause happened to be Hibari. Hibari turned around in his leather, spinning chair and rested his left elbow on the desk.
"Tsukiyomi Sora," Hibari said with acknowledgement. He was staring intently at the younger male. Sora did not falter under his gaze. Hibari stood up and walked over to Sora, who was stood patiently in the middle of the disciplinary room. He wasn't surprised when he felt the cold metal of the tonfa against his throat. However, his smile did not waver. "Fight me."
"Of course," Sora said with a smile that had DANGER written all over it. Hibari smirked and lead Sora to the fields. If there was anybody occupying them, he'd kick them out.
--
A mildly tired Sora stood over a panting Hibari.
"Do you wish to stop, senpai?" Sora taunted. Hibari scowled and raised his tonfas once again. Sora easily dodged.
"Fight me seriously," Hibari growled. Sora had a playful smile on his lips.
Ah, that's right, my dear imouto has fallen in love with this brute… Sora thought. He irked and then a dark aura surrounded.
"Ok, I'll do as you wish, Hibari-senpai."
--
"I think I overdid it," Sora murmured as Hibari's arm was around his shoulders and he was helping the prefect back to the disciplinary room. Hibari didn't respond, he was still angry. "Nee, senpai." Hibari looked over at him. "Are you an M?"
Sora started laughing when he felt a tonfa against his cheek.
"Ah! Sora-kun! Hibari-kun!" Kimiko called from down the hall. Sora raised an eyebrow. Had she been waiting for them outside the room in the hallways the entire time? Sora was sorry he took so long now. He had a brilliant smile on his face.
"Kimiko-sama," He called back. Hibari grimaced. The three of them entered the disciplinary committee room and sat down on the couches. "Senpai, I'll tend to your wounds." Before he did that, he placed a cup of tea before Kimiko, one in front of Hibari and one for himself. He found a first-aid kit and started dabbing at Hibari's wounds. The older boy did nothing to stop him, most likely he was just tired or knew when to give it a rest.
"So, what were you two doing?" Kimiko asked.
"Sparring," Sora said with a laugh. Hibari frowned. He hated that sound. "Kimiko-sama, is there a reason why you were waiting for us?"
"Ah! It's just that I haven't really seen Sora-kun around in school lately because you two are always together!" Kimiko whinned.
"But you see me at home every day," Sora said, raising an eyebrow. Kimiko pouted and looked the other way. She's probably just getting this time to ogle senpai. He sighed softly, Kimiko didn't catch it, but Hibari did. Hibari looked down at his tea while Sora was bandaging his arm. It was the last day he could have Sora serve under him without force. Truth be told, he getting fond of the young boy. Maybe too fond. It had also come to his attention that the younger twin, Tsukiyomi Kimiko, was getting clingy to him as well.
Sora had finished up bandaging his senpai and put the first-aid kit away, sitting back down beside Hibari. He took a sip of the hot tea.
"Mmn," Sora licked up lips. Hibari looked away. "Kimiko-sama, is the tea too bitter?" Kimiko blushed. Did Sora notice her gagging a little? Of course he had.
"N-no, it's fine," Kimiko said with a sheepish smile.
"Well, we should be going," Sora said, standing up. He looked at Hibari. "Senpai, today is the last day, isn't it?"
Hibari frowned.
"The last day?" Kimiko asked.
"My volunteering," Sora said. He placed his cup down on the table and walked back Hibari, who was still seated. Kimiko stood up to follow after him, fidgeting a little. Hibari glanced at them as they left and then back at his cup of tea when the door closed. He reached over and picked up a cup. It wasn't his, his lay untouched on the table. He brought the cup to his face; he looked as if he were examining it. He brought the cup to his lips and drank.
It was lukewarm, but it somehow felt addicting, so he finished the entire cup. Even when he had finished the contents, his lips remained on the cup's edge and his eyes closed. He irked when he realized what he was doing. He had just put his lips to a used cup in the exact same place where someone else had. He sighed and placed the cup back. It had been the one beside his, not the one across.

Sora stepped out of the bathroom, drying his hair with a towel while in his pajamas. He walked over to his sister's room to find that she was already asleep. He walked back to his room and glanced at the clock. It was 11:30pm. He blinked as the phone was ringing. He recognized the number immediately.
"Hello, father," He spoke into the receiver calmly. A frown was on his lips. "Ah, forming an alliance?" Sora's expression didn't change when he was talking to his father. "Very well, father." He set the phone back down and glanced outside his window. It was a full moon. He sighed.
--
"EH!?" The entire class was shocked.
"Sorry, both of us will be returning back to Italy," Sora said. Kimiko had a depressed expression on her face. "We have family matters to attend to."
"So today's your last day?" A girl asked. Sora nodded. "But that's so sudden!"
"It can't be helped," The teacher said and started the morning lessons.
--
Sora sat beside Kimiko as they flew first class in an airplane. She was fidgeting and he placed a soothing hand on her shoulders.
"We'll return back to Japan," Sora said. Most likely. "We just have to attend a family alliance dinner."
"Yeah…," Kimiko said. "But it was so sudden… Senpai didn't say anything to me when I confessed to him." Sora blinked.
"You… confessed to senpai?"
"Yeah! He looked as if he was in a daze and kept watching the guys play baseball in the afternoon!" Sora raised an eyebrow suspiciously. Baseball in the afternoon? Wasn't that their class?
"Really now?" Sora asked, leaning back in his seat. "He was just probably distracted. He does have to keep the discipline in the school after all."
"I wish he had just said yes," Kimiko said, fuming. Sora looked out the window with a frown on his lips.
