The next few weeks passed really fast. They were preparing for exams and the year was ending in two months. It was crazy. She didn't come too soon and she didn't know a lot of things. But then again, it wasn't exactly the university that followed normal rules.

Kyoko became a problem again. She started to sneak out at night and she stopped trying to hide it. She was more like walking out without a problem. On the other side, Shou was a good informant. She knew absolutely everything about the students and their families. He sent her a lot of information that she could use for personal reasons too.

"Are you going to do something with Kyoko?" Shou was more than happy to work for her. But that was a problem. He wasn't doing something for the school, as a part of the student council. No, he was doing it for her, as his boss.

"I have to. Hibari's been threatening me about it for weeks. It seems I may not be as suitable for this position as I claim" Shou watched her talk about the headmaster bemusedly. She was the only person who wouldn't tremble in front of him. He heard rumors about her too. Rumors that she would probably want to disappear.

"Hey, I have new news. Like, brand new" Yumi was definitely the one who knew the brand new news. She had a way to find out dirty things about people.

"Is it about someone having sex on the rooftop; again?" Shou blinked in astonishment. "Yes. It happened last week" Yumi chuckled.

"Luckily, you didn't tell the headmaster" Ira scoffed.

"They're lucky they only got detention" Shou glanced between the two girls. They were so entertained by that. He didn't understand why. In his point of view, she should have told the headmaster.

"Anyway, I have a friend in the Red and she told me that Kyoko came back this morning all beaten up" Ira's eyes widened. "I thought she was lying for her classmate but I asked more people and they said the same thing. So-" Ira was gone in a blink. "She's fast" Shou nodded.


Ira didn't know if she should feel mad or feel nothing at all. She did look after trouble and she found it. When she barged in the Red Dorm, a few students stopped everything they were doing and made room for her to walk towards Kyoko's room.

Yuu was there too. He just walked out of his room when he noticed the commotion. One of his friends came over and laughed.

"The prez is here and she seems mad" Yuu raised an eyebrow. He was confused.

When Ira got in front of Kyoko's room, the door was securely locked. She tried once, twice but she couldn't get in.

"Kyoko? Open the door" She heard someone murmur but couldn't understand what she said exactly. "I'm not going to break in, no matter how much I'd like that right now. So just come closer to the room and listen to me" It was silence. She took that as a cue to start talking. "I'm not going to start by saying how cruel life is and how you shouldn't do bad things. But I want you to understand that Yakuza are dangerous. You can pay for something you haven't done and they would let you rot in jail for all they care. Whoever has you wrapped around their finger, tell me and I can help you"

"You can't help me. You don't know how it is" She licked her lips and sighed.

"I know. But I also know that many students are like you. I thought I can change the way you think and make you all equal in some way but that's impossible. People don't change overnight and I came here only two months ago. But that's what Hibari knew and that's why he created this university. He wants to train you to survive the true cruelty of life. That's why he made all those petty and annoying rules. That's why he approved the student council. We can help each other out. So, Kyoko, let me help you"

The whole corridor was silent. She glanced behind her and realized that her speech made the rest think about that too.

She turned her attention back on the door when she heard the knob click. She cracked it open and showed her face. Ira couldn't breathe for a moment. Her face was a disaster. Both her eyes were swollen and her nose was still bleeding. She had a few scratches on her cheeks and her neck looked like someone tried to break in two.

"Who did this to you?" She gulped and looked down at her hands.

"He did. My boyfriend" Ira placed a hand over hers and squeezed them lightly. "He's in a small gang. He's not Yakuza. He said that if I don't go and meet him today, he'll come after me"

"Then let him come" She looked wide eyed at her.

"Here? Hibari will find out and he will-" Ira squeezed her hands again.

"Hibari doesn't need to know. You'll be fine. Now, let's call the doctor to take a look at your wounds and treat you" She nodded and opened the door wider. Ira turned to Yuu and nodded before she entered and closed the door behind her.


"Wow. That was quite the speech, wasn't it? Maybe the rumors are true after all" Yuu put his hands in his pockets and walked with his friend to their room.

"What do you mean? What rumors?" The young boy leaned towards Yuu and grinned.

"They say she fought Hibari just to have the student council approved" Yuu froze. "And they say she was so good at it and she has so much knowledge about the mafia because her family works for it. Just imagine. We could make connections to the European mafia" Yuu puckered his lips and rubbed the back of his neck.

"European mafia, huh?"


Ira left the Red Dorm around dinner time. She told Kyoko to stay in her room and asked her when her boyfriend was going to make his appearance.

"She said he's usually waiting for her exactly when the curfew starts; at 11 pm. He will make a big fuss if he enters the halls so I want to get it over with outside" Yuu and Tomo glanced at each other in curiosty.

"Why are you telling that to us?" Tomo asked curiously.

"And how are you going to take care of him? You're only a girl" Yuu's question was good. She didn't know how she was going to take care of him.

"I guess I'll have to talk to him" She looked like she believed what she said. Yuu scoffed and Tomo shook his head. She was going to come back with a swollen eye too. "And, to respond Tomo's question, I want you to cover for me" She smiled before she left for her class.

Everyone was either worried either excited. She was one of the excited ones. She had a huge urge to kick something and that guy was the best punching bag option. She was going to use it wisely.


It was half past 11 pm when Kyoko called Ira in the hall. Hibari wasn't there, thankfully. He was somewhere outside, doing God knows what. Tomo and Yuu only had to keep everyone inside. She hoped she wasn't going to make much noise, though.

"He's here. He called me ten times and I hung up every time. He's going to come in and kill me" She was scared and she doubted her president. Ira patted her back in a comforting way.

"Well, I'm going. See you soon" She waved and winked before she left.

When Ira opened the front door, she blinked curiously. Her boyfriend came with three other thugs. They were big and muscular but the boyfriend was skinny and breakable.

"Oi! Where's Kyoko?" Ira walked out and shrugged.

"Here, there," The skinny boy glared at her.

"Are ya makin fun of me?" She shrugged. The boy looked like he was going to grab an axe and slay her in pieces. He had that kind of face; the face of a butcher. "Don't play with me, you shitty woman! Do you know who we are? We are Yakuza!" She took a step closer to him and linked her hands behind her.

"I don't know much about Yakuza but Italian mafia treasure women carefully," She took another step towards him. "They keep the women safe and if one man hits his woman, can you imagine what happens then?" She was talking as if she was telling a good story. She was very excited and the thugs were sure she didn't know what she was talking about.

"Grab her!" Two thugs grabbed her hands and pushed her down in front of the boy. He took out a gun that he had hidden in jacket and pointed it at her head.

Surprisingly, she started to laugh.

"This is so funny," She sighed happily and shook her head. "You disappoint me. You are not Yakuza. You're not even part of mafia. You are just a pitiful young boy who got lost on the way home" The boy glared at her.

"Shut up or I'm going to pull the trigger." Her face suddenly became serious.

"Do it." The thugs tensed. "Pull the trigger if you have it in you. Shoot me." The skinny boy gulped. He didn't expect her to be so full of herself. He wasn't even waiting for her.

In one movement, she kicked the thug on her left and punched the one on her right. They were muscular so she had to eb careful not to get hit by them. Instead, she hit one in the neck and the other in the knee before she gave a final kick in the forehead.

She turned to the skinny guy and the other thug. The thug launched at her and used slow but efficient punches. He was a better fighter but she was smaller and faster. She caught his hand over her shoulder and turned it around. While he was in slight pain, she threw a kick in the ribs and pushed him aside. What was different was the power she was using in the kicks. It was strong yet it still looked like she was holding back.

"It's only you and me now. Do you want me to tell you what they do to men who hit their women?" He shook his head furiously and pointed the gun at her.

"Who the heck are you?" She tilted her head to the side innocently. She grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and pulled him closer to her face. Her eyes changed. They were cold and had something yellow going around the orb.

"They torture them." She whispered in his ear. "They cut the hand that hit the woman. They make them wish they didn't do it in the first place. But personally, I would cut off your dick." His eyes widened. She chuckled darkly and pushed him down. "Don't ever come here and look for Kyoko. She is my propriety and you don't want to find out what happens to people who damage my proprieties." He gulped and ran away.


"What's this, herbivore?" Hibari entered the front gate when she was cleaning up.

"I got rid of the problem. Isn't that what you wanted?" He took a last glance at her before he walked inside the building. She followed after a few minutes.

The student council and Kyoko ran and welcomed her.

"What did you do?" She smiled. Yuu shivered. Her smile looked creepy. It looked like she did something very bad and was smiling her way out of the consequences.

"We talked. I told you. We did nothing but talk. He won't come after you ever again" Kyoko sighed in relief. She walked back to her dorm with Yumi and Shou. Tomo walked to his own business.

"You beat the shit out of them, didn't you?" She chuckled but didn't deny it nor approve it. "You're scary."

"Keep that in mind." Yuu raised an eyebrow and watched her leave. She was fun.

"Well, now that Kyoko has been saved, she seems different." Ira and Yumi turned to the front desk.

They were in a classroom after hours ended and Ira didn't know what exactly she wanted to say to her representatives. The secretary adviced her to do some meetings but Ira had no idea how a student council worked.

"She wants to enter the student council. Suspiciously many people applied for it, actually." Yumi flinched and glanced at the president. "It seems there's a rumour going around."

"Really," Ira bit the inside of her cheek and watched the Blue student with judging eyes.

"Yes. And it says I have connections to the European mafia." Yumi turned her head slowly to the opposite side and rubbed her neck.

"How weird," Ira drummed her fingers on the table and leaned her head on her free hand.

"Mhm," Yumi gulped.


Yuu and Tomo were watching the show bemusedly. It was entertaining how much she could intimidate people with doing much.

"Sometimes, she looks like the devil"

"The spawn of Satan." The two boys nodded. Both their characterizations were on point.

"She'd make an amazing mafia boss, wouldn't she?" the two boys turned to Shou. He was doing pretty much what everyone was doing; watching the prez from the shadows.

"She would? She isn't that bad. She doesn't look like someone who would mess with that world/" Yuu and Shou scoffed.

"Hibari approved the student council because she wanted to be the president. If it was anyone else, he wouldn't have agreed/" Yuu nodded. Shou was perfectly right. "That makes her really suspicious. Why would Hibari agree?"

"Because she comes from an influential family?" Tomo was wrong. Shou and Yuu glanced at each other before they turned to the bigger guy with the same glint in their eyes.

"She fights well and has incredible self confidence. She doesn't rush when something bad happens and she is very calculated. She knows exactly what to do or say in urgencies. She seems trained." Tomo glanced at Ira and sighed.

"I'm really curious now/" Yuu chuckled. He turned to Shou and placed a hand on his back.

"Let's do a research and find out more about her/" They nodded eagerly.

"Why don't you ask me then?" The three guys froze.

"W-what to ask?"

"Everything you want to know about me. I'm sure I'm better than a file." Shou gulped. She looked ready to hit them.

"We don't know what you're talking about," Yuu was probably the one who had the most questions about her. But he didn't want to pry in her business so soon. He wanted her to trust him first.

"She fights well and has incredible self confidence. She doesn't rush when something bad happens and she is very calculated. She knows exactly what to do or say in urgencies. She seems trained." Even Yuu was amazed. She repeated everything he said perfectly. Not even a word was different. "I have been trained. You're right. But that's because I was kidnapped when I was 10 years old." The atmosphere in the room changed quickly. "The kidnapper let me go and told me that he will come for me again. I've been preparing for that moment for 12 years." Tomo froze. Something clicked in his mind.

"That makes you 22 now." She nodded. "So you're the same age as Hibari?" She nodded. "You're older than Yuu and he's 21. He got held back a lot," Yuu hit Tomo in the chest and narrowed his eyes at Ira.

"Then why are you here? To hide from that guy?" Yuu asked. She walked in front of Yuu and stared at him blankly.

"From that guy and not only. I came to Japan because I was afraid to face my own responsibilities" She left them with more questions than answers. But Yuu found out something precious. His puzzle was slowly getting pieced together.


When she entered the apartment, Hibari was working at his desk. She leaned against the door and sighed.

"You're too loud" She glanced at him before she went in the kitchen and started to make real noise.

"What about now?" She took a frying pan and a fork. She went behind him and started to hit the pan with the fork. Hibari closed his eyes in annoyance.

"Stop it before I bite you to death." She did stop. She placed the pan and fork on the table in the kitchen and went in her room. She took care to slam the door behind her.

She was annoyed and a little hurt. They were ganging up on her about how trained she was. Well, what about it? She didn't ask them anything about their private lives. As long as she was a good president, her life shouldn't matter.

She felt like calling Colonello since he had been her guardian for four years. She ran out on him and she disappointed the person she looked up at the most. She was scared that he hated her. She was scared of facing him and Reborn. She knew, she could already picture the two pairing up to punish her harshly. She shuddered and hid under the bed sheets. That was something she used to do when she was younger and was acting like a coward.

"I'm sorry," She grabbed a pillow and squeezed it close to her heart. "I didn't change at all." She closed her eyes tightly and forced herself to go to sleep.
