They were standing far from each other. From outside, Hibari looked ready. On the other side, Ira looked bad. She was tall and that helped her but she was still nothing next to Hibari.
"It's been a while. I probably got rusty" She sighed heavily and shook her hands.
Hibari didn't waste any minute. He ran towards her with full speed and used quick hits in vital points. She was blocking them all but she still had to throw him away. He was aiming for her head and she used that in her advantage. She bent and kicked his ankle. He lost his balance for a moment but it was enough for her to jump out of his way. His smirk got wider and glanced at her with an evil glint in his eyes.
Hibari was quick and powerful. He wasn't thinking while fighting. He was feeling every blow and was enjoying himself. She wasn't like that. She was the opposite. She wasn't using her full force from the start because she had high chances to become tired too fast.
She kept blocking his attacks and getting out of his way when it was getting too intense. However, she had to win in order to become the student council president. Moreover, she wanted his respect.
Therefore, she turned around and faced him. He was looking at her wickedly. He started to run towards her, ready to strike. She narrowed her eyes and started to measure the distance and level of power. In 3 seconds, he was going to hit her with the tonfa in the knee and give a final hit in the back. She could see that from his stance.
She blinked and everything came back to normal. She jumped and hit his arm. The tonfa flew out of his hand. He raised an eyebrow but continued his assault. He hit her quickly in the back and sent her flying into a tree. It hurt but not as much as she initially calculated.
"You've been trained, herbivore" She chuckled and got up. Her eyes moved unconsciously to the windows. Most students were in their dorms but some of them were watching the fight. He was right in front of her when she felt him grab her by the collar. "Who trained you?" She stared into his eyes bemusedly.
Somehow, it became very funny. Her teachers were crazy and sadistic. She was trained to kill and seduce. But it's been so long since she last admitted that.
"You wouldn't believe who my teacher was" Hibari found that endearing. His grip tightened. He wasn't going easy on her.
"Try me" She stared at him intensely. He could notice the change in her green eyes. The feelings became nothing. Her eyes became icy and her whole expression changed. She kicked him enough to make him let her go. Afterwards, she caught his hand and slammed him against the tree. She quickly grabbed him by the neck and leaned in.
"I'm winning" He smirked cockily and kicked her in the chin. That definitely hurt like Hell. She took a step back and tried to regain her balance. He punched her in the face so hard that she fell. She scoffed. He wasn't a gentleman.
She had to use power. Thankfully, she had enough for a draw. Ira wiped the blood from her mouth and chuckled. It was going to be so interesting.
This time, she launched at him. Her attacks were sharp and straight. She wasn't missing the spots she wanted to hit him at all. Her hits became strong but they weren't fast enough. He could still block them. She punched him hard and threw him a few feet away. He didn't have his tonfas in his hands so it made everything better for her.
Hibari ran towards her again and kicked her. She caught his leg and threw him. He caught his balance and ran towards her. It wasn't just a fight anymore. She ran towards him and they blocked each other in the middle of the field. The students were speechless.
"You win" She was fast and strong. He didn't expect to meet a delinquent with high fighting abilities. He wanted that and saw potential in her. None won. It was a draw and they were still able to continue the fight. However, Hibari changed his mind.
That was the day when Hibird University got his first student council president.
Later that night, she noticed how silent it got. She was walking around the school when she felt her hands shake. She leaned against a wall and looked at them. She hadn't fought for 4 years. She wanted to be normal. She wanted to hide from that violent world.
She glanced to the side and noticed the tall headmaster. He was staring at her, trying to find answers.
"Who are you, herbivore?" He was so calm and seemed so cold. "Your full name"
"Just read my file. You have my name there" His eyes narrowed slightly. "We have a common acquaintance" He didn't even blink.
"You calculate your opponent. You know where and when to attack but that would be useless without reflexes" She leaned closer to him and whispered into his ear.
"Just because I don't like to fight doesn't mean I don't know how to" His eyes hardened but he got a dazzling desire to fight her again. She patted his arm and left. He was curious just who she was talking about.
In the morning, the students already knew who their new representative was. Most of them made a list with their demands. That was the main reason why there was a big crowd in front of her classroom.
"You won your right in a unique way" Yuu was the first who congratulated Ira. He woke her up early just to tell her that.
"Well, this is a unique school" Yuu raised an eyebrow and glanced at his newest colleague.
"I saw you yesterday with Hibari" She didn't seem to care. "You were fighting. You won" She placed her hands in the pockets of her cardigan and shrugged. No one recognized her, except him. She was too far and she was careful not to show who she was.
"I was really lucky. He probably wasn't in his best form"
"What is that supposed to mean herbivore?" The cold voice of their headmaster sent chills down their spines. Or maybe it was only in Yuu's case. She turned to him with the definition of innocence. She didn't look like the woman he fought against. She looked like a normal student.
"I don't think it was a good day fo-" Yuu covered her mouth with his hand before she could say something stupid. He smiled nervously at his superior and bowed.
"The president has a lot of work. Have a nice day!" He practically dragged her away.
After the fight, Hibari did check her file. Interesting facts surfaced after he read it. She didn't transfer. She finished the university in Osaka before she came to Hibird. She wasn't popular and didn't really do anything to get attention. Her home was in Italy but her name was not Italian. Actually, her name was familiar: Irene Dubois.
When Ira got in front of her class, her eyes widened. She took a step back and got ready to run. Yuu grabbed her hand and forced her to stay.
"You wanted to be the student council president. Here. These are the people you have to listen and take care of" She gulped.
"Hey! Where is the president?" She looked at Yuu with sparkly puppy eyes and asked him silently to save her. He shook his head and laughed.
"Here! The prez is here!" The crowd turned to them and started to talk at the same time. Everyone wanted something. The crowd moved around her and she lost sight of her friend.
Somehow, she made the students get into a line and enter the classroom one by one. She was sure that having Hibari coming to check the lousy situation helped a lot. He stood there for a minute but he did wonders.
"What we need is a representative from each house. That's why I called you here" She smiled innocently. In front of her were Yumi, Yuu and Tomo.
"What if we don't want to?" She glanced at Tomo. He was a laid back guy with no will to fight or change.
"Actually, you don't have a choice. I already wrote your names when I applied so if you want to get out, you have to talk to Hibari" The atmosphere in the classroom changed. Yuu looked at his colleague closer. She was not dumb. She was using their fear against them.
"And what exactly are our chores?" Yumi was far more excited than the guys. She had never been included in something like that in school. She was always so busy with modeling.
"You have to gather their demands and worries and whatever. You tell me everything that happens in the house and if someone breaks the rules" Yuu chuckled and crossed his arms in front of his chest.
"You want us to be your spies" She blinked innocently.
"I do, yes" She was anything but innocent. They could all see it in her eyes. She had the demeanor of a boss, of someone who knew how to give orders but never be ordered around.
Yuu and Tomo glanced at each other knowingly. She was going to make school fun.
