She was

Genre: Family, Friendship, Drama, Romance

Summary: She was not part of the Vongola famiglia, not one known by Reborn, and certainly not a student council of some sort. So what's so different about her? Maybe, just maybe, it's because of her catchphrase, "I'll bite your head off." Now definitely, that is something.

Chapter 7

...

"Tadaima." Aihara boringly said as she entered the house.

Suddenly, a woman's face popped out from the kitchen door. The woman has long white locks and was smiling enthusiastically to Aihara.

"Okaeri Sa-chan."

Aihara only stared for a brief moment before replying with a short "Un."

Aihara went to change her clothes as the woman went back to the kitchen to resume what it was she was doing. Soon after, Aihara came to the kitchen in one of her komons, her rokushakubo at hand. She sat at the kitchen stool, and stared at the woman - who was cooking - when Kuro purred beneath her. She set aside her weapon before scooping the cat in her arms and stroked its fur.

"Why are you here?" Aihara asked without batting an eye. Her face evoking no emotion as the woman smiled.

"Could you set the table, Sa-chan?" The woman replied, completely ignoring the question.

Then the whole kitchen was enveloped with silence. Aihara looked at the woman with calculating eyes, which only formulated a weird smile to the latter's face. Her eyebrows furrowed as she silently tried to figure out the woman's action. After a couple of minutes, Aihara did what she was told.

After eating dinner, Aihara felt restless. This feeling grew more and more as the time progresses with silence still in the air. She was not one who likes conversations but when it comes to this woman, conversations are big deal. Her silence meant a lot of things and Aihara was irritated by the fact that she can't get what the silence conveyed.

"Care to tell me what those cuts mean?" The woman said, as she rested her chin above her intertwined hands.

Not even flinching when the woman suddenly broke the silence, Aihara went from restless to annoyed. She did not want to remember the events that happened earlier that day.

[Hours before]

"Creature." Aihara said as she pointed her weapon to the sleeping figure in front of her. "I'll bite your head off."

She swung her weapon towards Kyoya's head when it was blocked by a tonfa. Kyoya pushed away Aihara by his tonfas and glared at her darkly as Hibird flew away from the scene to avoid a dangerous situation.

"Herbivore." Kyoya grumbled before dashing towards his opponent. "You dare disturb my sleep "

As the tonfas went towards Aihara's head, she immediately blocked it and gave a kick to Kyoya's shin. It made the latter back away, leaving an opening. Aihara gave a blow towards the prefect's stomach but it was dodged. Kyoya then attacked to the chest of his prey; so fast it almost hit its target. Yes, it ALMOST hit its target. Even though the attack was fast, it wasn't fast enough to surpass Aihara's quickness in dodging. This made Kyoya irritated but at the same time impressed.

They continued their fight, clashing sounds echoed in the rooftop as their weapons kept on colliding. Their skills matched but both are determined to have a win.

"I'll bite you to death, Herbivore." Kyoya hissed before attacking Aihara to her arms which was easily blocked by the latter. It was followed with another blow to Aihara's head but she dodged it effortlessly. Kyoya grew more irritated.

"It is you who will be bitten," Aihara said before delivering a kick at the same time swung her weapon towards Kyoya's head. "Creature."

Kyoya dodged both attacks but received a small cut to his right cheek. Blood trickled from it and he wiped it off with the back of his hand. Without changing her appearance, nobody could really tell whether Aihara was proud to make a hit or not. But Kyoya knew better. From all the fights they had, he knew that her face wouldn't show it openly but it was her eyes which told him otherwise. That she was mocking him. Mocking him that she got to inflict the first wound, and he wasn't happy with this at all.

Impatiently, Kyoya began to give continuous attacks. Attacks that not only gained a huge amount of strength in it but also quickness in evey move. Aihara was surprised to see this sudden improvement in Kyoya's attacks. He wasn't this good in fighting as far as she remembered though it did not change anything, she would still bite his head off and not the other way around. When she found an opening, she immediately went straight to attack but was met with a surprise blow to her face. In particular, her lips. Blood gushed out of her lower lip as it swollen because of the impact. Kyoya smirked with his accomplishment. In return, Aihara narrowed her eyes dangerously towards the prefect.

"You'll pay for this, Creature." She hissed.

"I'd like to see you try, Herbivore." Kyoya said as a faint glint was found in his eyes. He was enjoying this. 'I think I should bite this herbivore more often'

"Aihara-san." Aihara looked at where the voice came from and it was from none other than, Kusakabe Tetsuya - Kyoya's most trusted prefect. "Ugh... a-about Sasagawa."

Aihara only raised her eyebrow. She did not know who this creature was nor the creature he was talking about. Insignificant creatures are not worth remembering anyway.

Kusakabe swallowed with fear. He observed that the girl was a bit disheveled with cuts all over her body. Looks like another fight had occurred but this time it was worse.

"Did you do that to him? Y-you know its against the rules of Nami-"

"Creature."

"Huh?"

"Do you want me to bite your head off?" Aihara threatened but her face unchanging. She sighed, she did not want to deal with annoying creatures now after her fight with the prefect. If this creature continues to bother her then she would have to bite him.

"A-ano..." Kusakabe was speechless because of shock and fear. He knew what the girl was capable of because of the damage she causes to the devil prefect, Kyoya Hibari.

Suddenly, a voice interrupted their conversation. A certain Kyoya came out of nowhere, smirking.

"You shouldn't go biting my underlings whenever you want, Herbivore."

Something must have snapped inside Aihara that she suddenly glared at Kyoya, openly. But this only lasted for a second before she went back to her usual apathetic facade.

"I would do whatever I want, Creature." She replied before turning her back to them and walked away.

"Hibari-san"

"Leave her be." Kyoya ordered before walking back to Nami Middle, "or I'll bite you to death."

Kusakabe was dumbfounded by what had happened. Both were in a messed up state and it was no denying that they fought with each other once again. But what surprised him is that, Hibari did not engage a fight the moment he saw her and Aihara's calm demeanor was for a second, broken by the very presence of Hibari only. Something changed. And when it comes to change with this two, hoping that it would be something good is as futile as hoping for a miracle.

Kusakabe sighed before heading back to the infirmary room where Sasagawa Ryohei was sleeping. He had lots of cuts and wounds all around his body but it wasn't something serious. He remembered very clear what Aihara said when she handed him Ryohei.

'Take this creature to the infirmary.' Aihara said before tossing an unconscious Ryohei to Kusakabe.

'wait, wha-'

'I do not like repeating myself, creature.' She ushered before turning to leave. After a couple of steps, she paused, 'and tell him that I won't join the boxing club'

Then Kusakabe remembered the time when Ryohei kept on bothering him and Kyoya to join the boxing club. He sweat dropped as if understanding what had occurred between the boxing club president and the raven haired girl.

"Guess its Sasagawa-san's fault after all."

Aihara only stared at the woman without answering her question. The latter only laughed that made Aihara glare.

"I knew that would be your reaction." The woman said, smiling teasingly. "Someone got through your defenses, huh?" She continued to tease.

"Why are you here?" Aihara asked her previous question once again.

"You meanie." The woman pouted, "I also live here you know. As your onee-chan I have the right to come here."

Aihara sighed, annoyed by her sister's antics. "Your work?"

Aihara's sister smiled thoughtfully as she tap her finger to her lips. She then looked at Aihara, green orbs shinning dangerously. "I'm working."

"Here?"

"Yup. My new job's located here in Namimori." She said and then smiled. "I have news."

"I don't want to hear it." Aihara said, standing from her chair. Kuro was sleeping on her left shoulder while her weapon was on her right hand. She was already at the door frame when her sister spoke.

"She wanted to see you again. Our Imouto that is." She said while staring at Aihara's back as if waiting for a certain reaction. "Do you remember her? Green locks, small figure."

Aihara stopped that made the woman smile. She turned and looked back to her sister.

"Our imouto, the thirteenth."

Suddenly, a young girl with green locks came to Aihara's mind as she remembered moments with that girl. She replied with a short "Un."

"But that's not all." Her sister said before standing from her own seat and walked towards Aihara's side. She whispered, "He's on the loose once again."

Aihara tensed. She has a guess who her sister was talking about but she doesn't want to confirm it. Too bad her sister already did.

"Kyo's coming back."
