"Midori tanabiku namimori no..." Kiku woke up to the sound of Hibird singing and found herself alone on the couch. "Kyoya...?" She got up and looked at the clock hanging on the wall. Eight o' clock... Hibird flew onto Kiku's head and gave it a light peck. "Ku! Kiku! Kiku!" "E-eh!?" She picked up Hibird by the tail and stared at it. "W-what in the world are you!? A demon? A fairy? And how did you know my name!?" Hibird blinked at Kiku confusedly. "Hibari! Hibari!" "Ara, you know where Kyoya is?" Hibird shook free from Kiku's hold and flew out the window. "H-hey! Wait up!" Kiku ran out of the house and followed Hibird.

Haru hummed as she walked to school with a bento in hand. It was just like every other ordinary morning (except for the bento I suppose...): she would wake up, dress, brush her teeth, make breakfast, eat, and hum while walking to school. However, little does she know that something different will alter her daily lifestyle, starting... now. "W-wait uuuuup!" CRASH! Haru fell onto the floor as something soft and small hit her. "I-itai!" The little girl rubbed her forehead while she whimpered from the impact. Haru, who was knocked over, sat there dazed for a while. "A-ano... are you okay, miss?" The black-silver-haired girl looked at Haru with apologetic eyes. Finally, Haru realized her surroundings and stared at the girl with widened eyes. "KYAAAAAAAAAAA!" The little girl flinched in surprise. "W-WHAT IS WITH THAT INDECENT OUTFIT!?" Haru put out her hands in front of her to block the horrifying view. "What do you mean?" The girl blinked and tilted her head. "Aren't these clothes normal...?" Haru shook her head rapidly. "Of course it isn't normal! As a girl, you shouldn't be wearing boxers! You're only wearing ONE shirt (and it's too big)! Plus, you shouldn't be running around barefooted!" The girl pondered and took Haru's words into consideration. "Oh... okay, I'll remember that next time. Anyway- OH NO! I lost track of that creature! H-how will I find Kyoya now...?" Haru finally looked at the girl. "Kyoya? As in, Hibari Kyoya?" As Haru said that, the little girl beamed and nodded. "Yeah! Hibari Kyoya! Do you know where he is right now?" "Yes, he's at school right now-" "Which school? Where!?" Haru pointed up the street. "He should be at Nami-" "Great! Arigato!" She quickly bowed and ran up the street at the direction Haru pointed at. Who in the world was that girl...? And why was she looking for Kyoya? Is she a friend? A relative? Haru got up and resumed walking towards Namimori Middle High while the pile of questions kept building in her head.

Hibari looked out the window of the reception room, waiting for the hand to reach 8:20 and hoping there would be a student who is late. As he stared, he wondered if he should have stayed at home and look after Kiku, or at least he should have told her where he was going. After a few moments pass by, he saw something small sprint across the front of the school and through the doors. Black-silver hair... my boxers... my shirt... what!? Kiku found her way to my school!? And in such an outfit, too... Hibari got up abruptly and walked out of the room to search for Kiku. Kusakabe, noticing his distress, looked up from his post. "Kyo-san, is something the matter?" Hibari paused for a moment as he opened the door. "...No. It's nothing important. I just need to look for something." He shut the door behind him and walked down the hallways.

The students of Namimori Middle High whispered and giggled to each other as they saw Kiku. "What is a little girl doing here? Look! She's wearing BOXERS! Is she lost? Hahaha, she looks so weird!" Kiku ignored their comments and walked through the hallways in search for Hibari. Hmmm... I can sense that he's around here somewhere... but this is such a big place to search through! After a while, she started to become tired and frustrated. Deciding that she would look for him after she takes a short rest, she opened a locker and climbed in it. =w= this feels really comfy... She closed it so she wouldn't be disturbed and snuggled into a comfortable position. After a few moments, fatigue took over her and she fell into a deep sleep.

"Oh? What is this?" A tall, long, golden-haired boy with amber eyes and fair skin opened his locker to find a little, black-silver-haired girl curled up and sleeping in his locker. "Wow, I didn't know you were a kidnapper!" His red-haired friend stood beside him and stared at him with a smirk. "Akatsuki! You know I didn't do this and I am not capable of it!" "Hahaha, really?" "Yes, really!" Akatsuki looked at him skeptically. "Hmmm... I don't know, Hikari..." Hikari sighed in exasperation. "Can't you just believe me!?" Akatsuki laughed and slapped his friend on the back. "I was just teasing you! Anyway, what are we going to do with this?"

"Hn, I think I'll confiscate that from you two." Hibari walked up to them with a threatening glare. Akatsuki grinned at him. "Oh, hey Hibari! Are you also interested in this fine young lady we have here?" "No. I am merely confiscating something that does not belong in this locker." "Really? Are you sure you're not just confiscating her?" Hibari kept a cool gaze at Akatsuki while Hikari tightly gripped onto Akatsuki's arm. "Akatsuki, I think it's time we get to class." Akatsuki smiled at Hikari. "Okay, but first, let's hand over the young lady. She can't stay in there forever." Akatsuki leaned down to pick up Kiku, but Hibari beat him to it. "I can take care of this myself. Now leave before I bite you to death." "Eh? Will you really?" Hikari tugged on Akatsuki. "Please don't provoke him. Now let's hurry to class! We are already late!" Akatsuki nodded and gave Hibari one last grin before turning around and walking to class. Hn... what an annoying herbivore... I will definitely bite him to death one day. Hibari turned around in the opposite direction and walked back to the reception room while holding Kiku possessively in his arms.

As Akatsuki and Hikari turned at a corner, Akatsuki stopped walking. "Hm? Akatsuki... is something the matter?" Akatsuki looked at Hikari in the eyes with an amused look. "That girl... about her-" "Yes. I know." Hikari's eyes darkened as he put a finger to his lips. "But let's have some fun first, shall we?" "Sure." Akatsuki gave Hikari a mischievous grin before he started to walk again.
