AiYui: Yoh~ and a good day to all~! :)
Yui: I'm BAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!!
Ai: Yeah, yeah, we got it; you don't have to shout loud like Squalo—
Yui: Oh yeah, minna-san, there is sad news we have to tell you about the "Hibari Kyouya and Mukuro Rokudo: Showdown!"… We are sorry in advance.
Any way, going on…
Ai: In this chapter—
Yui: Ryumi and Kyouya will face up in Namimori. Knowing Ryumi who doesn't want to fight in school, but also loves her cat very much, would she finally break out from her rules and fight Kyouya only to retrieve Aoi? If this shall happen, Namimori would surely…
Ai: *nods impatiently* Finished? It's the second time already, Yui…
Yui: Do you want me then to continue interrupting your speech?
Ai: *angry mark appears*
AiYui: Enjoy~! :)

+Chapter Five: Battle! The Nest-head versus The Cursed Crow!
Ryumi turned to Kyouya's direction and said, "He will come back to me without you knowing."
Kyouya stopped. He then said, "You will not get that cat back unless you are done with your punishment."
Then he disappeared into the lonely darkness.
--
Ryumi was left alone in the middle of the street. She was very annoyed and her silent scream indicated that.
Arrgh!! That cursed crow certainly pisses me off! , she thought furiously. She went back home with a dark aura hovering around her.
I will get my cat back… even before we fight again, Hibari Kyouya.
---
The next day, Ryumi woke up in a very bad mood.
She went downstairs wearing a cross face with a dark atmosphere. Her get-up was as decent as usual, as complete as usual, and as ready as usual… except only for her expression.
--
She entered the dining area and sat down with everyone to have breakfast. Actually, Ryumi does not know what she always ate in that house; the only thing she knows is that they are Japanese so they would certainly serve Japanese food… even if, at times, she does not know if what she eats is Japanese anymore.
"Mikura, you will have lunch to be eaten at school today, okay? I prepared a bento for you." Mrs. Ogasu reminded Ryumi.
Ryumi suddenly removed her annoyed face and replaced it with a sweet and gentle face she always used while being "Mikura".
"Yes, okasan." she answered politely.
"Oh yeah Mikura-san, would you be with Yumi and I when going to school?" Hiroshi asked her.
"W-well… Yes, I would be. I think it is far better if we all go to school together, right?"
Hiroshi nodded gladly with a sparkle in his eyes.
-
"Oh yeah, Mi-neesan, where is the cat that you said that you would keep here in our home?" Yumi asked nonchalantly.
With that question, Ryumi's hand holding a chopstick with rice was left in midair. Her calm expression returned to an irritated one, and her serene green eyes flamed in annoyance.
The other family members got startled at the sight, except Mr. Ogasu, who was composed as usual.
"M-maybe I shouldn't have asked, eh?" Yumi muttered silently, wide-eyed.
--
Ryumi and Hiroshi arrived in Namimori Middle School several minutes later, without Yumi. She was left in a certain Grade School before the two arrived in Namimori.
Hiroshi started walking towards their building but he stopped when he noticed something.
"Ei Mikura-san, what's holding you up?" he asked.
Ryumi was standing still not very far from Hiroshi and it seems that she spotted something.
"You go on without me." she said without looking at her companion. "I'll stay here for a while."
Hiroshi nodded. "Just make sure that you get to class on time."
"Un," Ryumi agreed silently.
He looked at Ryumi for a while, as if he knew what was going to happen later, sighed then went on his way towards his room.
-
Aoi… You are here, right?, she thought while still stiff in her place.
"Me-ow…"
"Aoi?!" she said startlingly. She turned to see where the meow came from. She looked around her surroundings but she found naught.
"Homo, didn't I tell you that you wouldn't get your cat back until we fight again?" a familiar voice said not very far from her.
"You cursed crow! Give Aoi back!" she yelled furiously at the sight of Kyouya and her dear Aoi.
The students scattered around the school grounds stepped back and hurriedly went to their respective rooms. It seems that they do not want to be involved in the commencing fight between the newcomer and the Disciplinary Committee President, or less with Kyouya. Well, who would want to get beaten up by him, anyway?
-
Ryumi tossed her bag sideward as Kyouya put Aoi down and in less than a second, he disappeared.
"Hibari, Hibari…" the cute little yellow bird sang. It was behind Kyouya all along but, as if it knew what was going on, went away from the area along with Aoi.
"Ao—" Ryumi was cut off by a sudden attack on her back.
It was anticipated, for Kyouya disappeared out of a sudden, so she managed get away from the attack. But she was hit alright, by the sharp air that surrounds the tonfa for it moves really fast.
Ryumi did a cartwheel so as to get away from stealthy attacks from her back.
"Your tonfa…" she muttered. "It's fabulous. You must be proud of it, eh?"
Kyouya smirked a little then began to assault her again.
He gave her a series of hits by way of alternating moves with his "fabulous" tonfas. It was very fast, but Ryumi luckily coped with the Prefect's speed.
When Kyouya gave her nice series of hits (which are not really nice though, for she dealt with it without a sweat), he finally resolved to slipping his leg to trip Ryumi.
She saw through this again, and clutched her hands on Kyouya's shoulders as she jumped upwards. When she reached midair, she kicked Kyouya from his back and continued on to the opposite side.
Kyouya got hit but as he was falling down for he lost his balanced with that, he turned to face upward and make his hands his support when he must touch the ground.
Ryumi just got her balance from her jump when she was then kicked by the Prefect.
"Gackt~!" she gasped as she fell down.
-
"Do you… desperately want to get the last attack?" she asked while she was still flat on the ground. The only difference was she turned to face up.
"I only want to win." that was the short and stiff statement of the black-haired Prefect.
What happened a while ago was this: when Kyouya's hands touched the ground, he gathered some force, then directed that force to kick Ryumi when his legs were still above the ground.
"What else would I hear from you? You are one eccentric Prefect, I should say." she muttered.
"I don't need your opinion." he stated then tried to kick Ryumi.
She readily countered this by turning to her side [with her arm as support], then slipping her leg first, a second before Kyouya jerked his leg to kick.
Naturally, the Prefect would lose his poise for he did an attack, which means he cannot defend himself.
This thought rang in to Ryumi and used this chance, even before Kyouya would get composed again.
She bent her leg, collected some power, and then thrust her leg to Kyouya's jaw. (A/N: I don't plan to ruin Kyouya's face, Yui might whack me head-on. But that does not mean that I would not make Ryumi attack his face… Gomen ne, fangirls and Yui.)
Kyouya flew backwards, it was not really that hard for Ryumi lacked force, but it was enough to distance Kyouya from her.
-
Ryumi stood up and bent her joints as if in warm-up.
Ah! I know…
She suddenly fell down to her knees, then to the ground.
"I… can't—"
"What do you mean by that, homo?" Kyouya, who mysteriously came faster than I thought, asked. He was kneeling down to match Ryumi's folded form on the ground.
"Can't…" she muttered weakly, "… I can't… go on."
Kyouya's eyes narrowed and his eyebrow rose as if in disbelief. "You are lying." He stated then lifted his tonfa to strike the paling Ryumi before him.
"If you don't believe me…" she said as Kyouya's tonfa was about to hit her covered face. "Then it's your choice… I can't give you a good fight anymore, which is if you keep on hitting me."
Kyouya was convinced with this thought, so he kept his tonfas to wherever it is hidden. He then touched Ryumi's forehead to see if this homo is telling the truth.
He was surprised to feel that Ryumi was really hot—hot above normal body temperature. "You are right…" But even if he agreed with her, he still narrowed his eyes, telling us that he was still in doubt. "Can you walk?"
Ryumi smiled in her thoughts. Finally, crow… you war-freak crow. "I guess…"
"Then stand up already." He stated as he stood up and composed himself.
Ryumi raised her head to face the Prefect. Then she held out her hand…
"What?" Kyouya asked her with an eyebrow raised.
"…help…" she answered weakly while facing sideward.
"What a lame thing to say." he said as he [unwillingly] aided Ryumi in standing up.
She held Kyouya's outstretched hand and stood up frailly. Then she whispered to Kyouya's ear, "I agree."
--
They were both in front of the clinic now. But there seems to be some hold up that is preventing them from entering.
Ryumi held out her arm to reach the knob then turn it to open the door.
But Kyouya stopped her.
"What is it now…?" she asked. I want to finish this already… Come on crow, please cooperate.
"Clean yourself." he ordered.
"Why—"
"You will soil the bed sheet of the clinic; I don't want that to happen." he responded authoritatively.
"W—"
"It is because…" Then he gave the next sentence an emphasis. "This is Namimori."
Alright, got it with your devotion… "O-okay…" then she wiped to cleanse her clothes briskly… but a little faintly.
--
"Her temperature is 37.6°Celsius. She needs to rest here in the clinic for a while." the attending nurse recommended.
Ryumi was reclining on the bed comfortably. She was staring at the people in front of her and in her thoughts, a wide grin is displayed. I finally got away from this war-freak crow… and later, I would finally get Aoi back. Heh…
"Are you sure that your thermometer is accurate? Or rather, are you telling the truth?" Kyouya snapped.
"Y-yes, Hibari-san… This thermometer is accurate and I am telling the truth." the nurse said in a faltering tone. "How about you Hibari-san, do you want to get those scratches treated?"
Kyouya darted a menacing glare at her then walked away to leave the room.
--
"Are you fine, Giallo-san? You seem to have had a fight with the Prefect! Good thing you only got scratches…" the nurse said caringly.
"I-I'm fine, Mrs. Hiragawa…" she assured the worried nurse. "They are nothing, actually."
"That's a good thing to hear." she said. "Students who get rushed to the clinic because of Kyouya-san often have large bruises; some cases reported minor injuries."
"Oh really? Then I should be thankful that I only got scratches…" Ryumi said faintly.
To think that Giallo-san is a girl…, Mrs. Hiragawa, the nurse, thought. "Oh, I think I should leave you now. Rest, okay?"
"…Hai…" she agreed. She reached for her bag (which is on the desk beside the bed), got it, placed it between her arms, then drifted to sleep.
---
Something about her is certainly not right. She is like those herbivores, but slightly different. She shows power that can catch up with mine… What is behind her strength?
Kyouya opened a certain classroom's door. The students inside were bewildered to see the Prefect, along with the teacher. They saw him very ruined; his clothes have dirt all over and some parts have cuts and tears. A drip of blood that dried up was seen in his left jaw.
"W-what is it, Hibari-san?" the teacher asked nervously.
"This is Giallo's room, right?" he asked, not even answering the teacher's question.
- "Don't tell me that Mikura-san did something to anger Hibari-san!!" Tsuna muttered frighteningly.
- "Well, that is what it seems to me, Tsuna!" Takeshi blurted out indifferently.
- Tch, that Giallo…, Hayato thought. She is making Juudaime worried.
"Um… Ye-yes… Why? Did something happen with her? She is still not he—"
"I beat her up." Kyouya stated flatly.
"WHAAAAAT?!?!?" all of them exclaimed.
- Mikura-san… you really did fight with the Prefect. I can't believe my hunch; it really did happen. , Hiroshi thought with a drop of sweat trailing down on his cheek.
Kyouya glared at them threateningly, which made them shut their mouths immediately. "She is now in the clinic. I guess that makes her excused for today and until she gets back to normal, right?"
"Um, ye-yes, Hibari-san…!" the teacher answered fretfully.
Kyouya looked at Tsuna for a while then he thought, Could it be the baby? But that herbivore is not as strong as she. Her family?... Maybe...
Tsuna jolted in response to Kyouya scary look at him. Did I do something wrong?!
Kyouya narrowed his eyes then closed the door with a "bam!" then went away.
-
But why does it seem that Hibari-san was also beaten up? , Tsuna thought a while later after seeing Kyouya out. Is Ryumi-san that strong of a Mafia?
---
In the clinic hours later…
Ryumi woke up refreshed and replenished with energy. But she did something to make herself hot with fever again. She sat up and looked around. Surprised, she saw Kyouya taking a nap on a chair not very far from her bed.
What the hell is he doing here?!?!?
Kyouya's eyes slowly opened and he directed his look at Ryumi.
"You woke me up."
"I-I didn't, Iinchou!" she said palely while shaking her head.
He narrowed his eyes then said, "Have I already told you what happens to people who wake me up?"
Ryumi's eyes widened. "N-no… you haven't…!"
"Then let me tell you…" he said as if to threaten her.
Doesn't this crow have any mercy?! Even to a sick person, is he still going to beat me up?!
"After you get well." he continued… and that relieved Ryumi.
"Um…" Ryumi muttered quietly. "Why are you here?"
"I need to watch over you—"
What did he just say?!?!
"—to make sure that you wouldn't run away from me. Remember that our fight is still not finished; this is a precautionary measure." he said without blinking.
So I still cannot get away from him…eh?
"If you run away, you'll get twice the punishment and I'll certainly bite you to death." he continued. "I don't know what kind of trick you have in your sleeve but I'm certain that you are not actually sick. You are just pretending, a pretend that became true."
A pretend that became true… What an idea, cursed crow. "You do not believe me, right, Iinchou?"
"Who would believe someone like you? And…"
What now?!
"I'll give you another nickname… Something that differentiates you from your kind…"
"My kind"?!
"Nest-head… From now on, you are nest-head."
That statement made Ryumi look at her hair.
Brown=Nest
What kind of imagination do you have, crow?!
"Again, nest-head, I'll bite you to death."

AiYui: Chapter Five: Mission accomplished!!!
Ai: Did you enjoy it, minna-san?!
Yui: Please tell us if you do! Remember that you can always review this chapter and your reviews are always appreciated, negative or positive.
Ai: Oh yeah dear readers… about the sad news… the "Hibari Kyouya and Mukuro Rokudo: Showdown!" will not be held here in this fic. (All thanks to Lazy Yui)
Yui: (Shut up) Well, let's give Ryumi the floor to explain everything fully.
-----------------------------------------Ryumi's Peculiarity Corner----------------------------------------
Ryumi: Good day, everyone!!
- Can you remember our "joke" from chapter three? Please tell us if you liked it or not! It is because I didn't like it at all and Ai-chan wants to know if anyone liked it… if there's someone.
- Anyway, about the news…
- The Showdown will be placed in another fic, or rather; it will be made into a separate story.
- But don't worry; the Showdown will be one of our Christmas presents so it would surely be worth the wait.
- Today, in this corner, we will hold a Press Conference for the two character's Showdown.
Second episode presents:
"Hibari Kyouya and Mukuro Rokudo: Showdown!: Press Conference"
Ryumi: Let us welcome our beloved guests, Mr. Mukuro Rokudo and Mr. Hibari Kyouya!
~ the both of them walks towards the stage separately and sits down on their seats quietly.~
Ryumi: Good day to the both of you!
Mukuro: Kufufu… Good day too, Giallo-san.
Kyouya: *no comment*
Ryumi: So, straight to our topic, what would happen here in this "special"?
Mukuro: I really don't have any idea too, Giallo-san…
Kyouya: Even though I don't have any interest here, they told me that anything goes there. Well, that's what it should be; I don't want my actions to be dictated by some other person.
Ryumi: I see! So it's like "slightly scripted to not-scripted-at-all"?
Mukuro: Kufufu… Kind of.
Kyouya: …
Ryumi: What kind of "Showdown" do you think this would be?
Mukuro: *smiles*
Kyouya: *glares*
Ryumi: O-okay… I guess I should not ask further, ne?
Mukuro: Yes, Giallo-san…
Kyouya: You should just pay for the ticket and watch, nest-head.
Mukuro: I think it is improper to treat a host just like that, Kyouya.
Kyouya: I don't need your opinion.
~both of them stands up ~
*Mukuro holds his trident while Kyouya grasps his tonfas ready*
Mukuro: Kufufu…
Kyouya: Kamikorosu.
Ryumi: I guess we should end the viewing right now…
So goodbye and wait for the "Hibari Kyouya and Mukuro Rokudo: Showdown!" fic anytime this month before or after Christmas '09. (Our author's willingness to type is very unpredictable. *sigh*)
See ya next time!
(I really like pineapples better than cursed crows…)
--
Ai: Next—
Yui: Next time on Yellow Lies:
Ryumi mysteriously vanished after the incident in Namimori. She did not return home later afternoon and that made the whole Ogasu household became worried to death. But, a letter was sent and its contents explained everything. (And it included a small note that she will not show up the next day.)
- The day after, Ryumi attended school covered with bruises and scratches and all types of injuries but no broken bones. What happened the day before?
- This day also promises more entries in her little blue notebook… But what does it exactly contain?
Ai: *raises an eyebrow*
Yui: *smiles*
Ai: *smiles back* Hope you will wait for Chapter Six!
AiYui: Ja ne, minna-san! :)
See ya next time! :)
