When you read the scene later, imagine Yachiru from Bleach latching onto Ikkaku's head to get an idea of what she did to Vil.

Warning: EXTREME LAUGHTER AHEAD

Hotaru was not in a good mood. Crowley had, for whatever reason, agreed to let the Song and Dance team for Night Raven stay at her dorm to help improve their teamwork and coordination.

She didn't know who put that idea in his head, but she was reaping the consequences.

For the most part, it wasn't too bad. Ace, Deuce, Kalim and Jamil were all rather respectful of her home and outside of the minor confusion due to Jamil helping her make breakfast and lunch, they got along fine. Epel was a wild card, but was otherwise pretty good about minding her boundaries. It didn't hurt he was an early riser like Deuce and Jamil.

She really didn't mind having some company during her early morning stretches, and this meant she could go with Epel when she went to do her weekly sparring with Lilia.

It was Vil who was the main problem in the dorm. Rook she learned to tolerate, especially his stalker tendencies since most of that was aimed at Vil.

Vil was a goddamn pain in her ass that she couldn't wait to kick to the curb the first chance she had.

The man was a nightmare, and she hated that he was the leader of the team. He kept intruding on her boundaries, criticizing her food choices, and being visibly irritated by her baggy clothing and unkempt appearance. Almost like the very sight of it offended him in some way.

Something had to give.

Hotaru went to her fridge and had to frown. The noise was getting worse despite her efforts to keep it from being so loud.

She was peripherally aware of the fact that Vil had cursed the junk food Ace and Deuce had brought, and Kalim had gifted the few things he brought Vil didn't approve of to his dorm mates (and Cater).

Opening the freezer to take out her tub of ice cream, Hotaru froze. Every instinct she had warned her not to eat any of it.

A quick diagnostic spell taught to her by Jamil had her seething.

She had assumed Vil had simply cursed the junk food brought in by Ace and Deuce.

She never thought Vil had cursed the entire fridge itself, including it's contents!

Swearing under her breath, she went to look for the chocolates Kalim had given her after that fireworks festival. It was a specialty chocolate and he had mostly given it to her after her relatively minor complaint about not having anything to tide her over during that time of the month.

Her gaze filled with shock, then absolute feminine rage when she found the unopened bag, since she wanted to savor the chocolate properly.

"That. Absolute. Bastard," she snarled, almost incoherent with rage.

As if sensing her anger (or more likely his well honed self preservation instincts), Jamil came into the kitchen.

"What's going on?"

"Vil cursed my ice cream and the special chocolates Kalim gave me," she replied, her tone full of incandescent fury.

Jamil blinked, did a quick mental calculation, and then visibly flinched.

"Is something the problem?" asked Rook.

"Jamil, confiscate Rook and Epel's phones. I don't want to give that bastard any head start from his overdue demise," she growled.

Rook was so startled by her tone that he didn't have a chance to react. Epel merely handed his over.

"What's going on?" asked Ace.

Hotaru was too busy texting Idia to respond, and her face steeled itself into dark resolve after getting a text back almost immediately.

In Ignihyde, Idia took one look at the text and sent out a dorm wide alert warning them of the impending apocalypse. It said volumes that the rest of his dorm began barricading for a rampaging she-demon, just to be safe.

Jamil looked at the gathering group and winced.

"Vil cursed Hotaru's ice cream and chocolate. I'm not sure if he did it when he got the foods you brought or just cast a blanket curse on the entire fridge."

"He cursed the fridge itself, since it was nearly empty," said Rook absently.

"Did...did he not question why we left the ice cream and bag alone, despite the fact we've opened up the cabinet it was in?" said Ace. He looked downright terrified, and for good reason! Even Deuce was freaking out by now.

Hotaru had already stormed off in the direction of the school.

"This...is going to end badly," said Deuce.

"I'll give them about two hours," said Jamil. It wasn't his problem Vil had essentially dug his own grave. "In the meantime help me find some measuring tape."

"What for?" asked Epel.

"That fridge is nearly dead anyway," said Jamil matter of factly. "I know she was planning to force the headmage into buying a new one soon."

"Makes sense...wait. She?" said Rook.

"Uh yeah. Didn't you know Hotaru was a girl?" asked Ace.

"Where did Crow go off to anyway?" asked Epel.

"My guess? To bite Vil's head off, literally," said Ace. He rubbed at a particularly odd scar on his head.

"...Am I to assume she bit you?" asked Rook slowly.

"Hotaru has a weird habit of latching onto people's head with her teeth when she's very pissed off," said Deuce.

"Yeah, you never want to get between her and her sweets during that time of the month," said Ace with a wince. He had found that out the hard way, much to the amusement of his dorm.

It had only taken two months for every dorm in regular contact with her to learn that particular schedule, which said volumes of how much she terrified them. It seems Pomefiore was the only one that didn't get that particular memo.

In the school

Most people took one look at the deathly calm Hotaru...and ran the other direction. The only ones that didn't came from the Pomefiore dorm, but they were smart enough to follow the lead of the others.

Malleus happened to spot her on the way there, and approached her calmly.

"Is something the matter?" he asked.

"Vil put a curse on my ice cream and the special chocolates Kalim gave me."

Malleus went stock still for several moments. Then he took out the gift she had given him for his birthday, to record the gargoyles he came across for future enjoyment. Lilia had been more than happy to help him set it up and show him how to transfer the files so he had plenty of material.

He calmly clipped his Go Pro onto the usual spot, then lead her straight to the room the housewardens used for their meetings. While he usually forgot about the dates, he did know where it was located.

"Give me five minutes to set up," he asked. She nodded.

"Malleus? What are you doing here?" asked Riddle confused.

Malleus had a solemn look on his face as he looked directly at Vil and said "Apologies, I do not know what flowers you prefer."

"Prefer for what?" said Vil, confused beyond belief.

"For your funerary arrangements."

That got everyone's attention, and Kalim noticed his phone had been giving a light pinging indicating a message.

"Did you run into the Crow on the way here?" commented Idia. Malleus nodded. "We've already fully barricaded the dorm."

Azul looked to Idia with some alarm.

"Barricaded the dorm? What the hell did Vil do?"

Kalim looked beyond pale from sheer horror.

"You cursed Hotaru's sweets?" he said in a near shriek.

"Yes, I did. When I said the team was going to do a cleanse, I meant everyone. I wasn't going to let him skip out just because they're the manager," said Vil crossing his arms.

"Oh dear Seven," whimpered Azul.

Vil was beyond baffled as everyone else in the room damn near bolted as far away from him as humanely possible without leaving the room. Malleus simply found a chair and sat down, his camera aimed at the model. It was rather telling that even the headmage looked ready to run like hell in the opposite direction of what was coming.

The door slowly opened, revealing an enraged Hotaru. Vil felt a twinge of fear hearing the whimpers of the other males in the room.

"Vil Schoenhiet," she snarled.

That was all the warning he got before her teeth latched on to his head. It took him far too many seconds before he tried to unlatch her mouth from his head.

On the other side of the room, Azul looked to the others seriously.

"Should we start preparing the eulogy now or later?"

"Don't be ridiculous," commented Idia.

"He's right...with Vil's popularity there's no way you could handle catering," said Riddle.

"Good point," said Azul.

Let it be said that not a single person (including Kalim) was going near the model to even remotely assist him. If anything, Leona was wheezing from how hard he was laughing at Vil's predicament and calling out advice to Hotaru on how to inflict more damage.

Honestly, it said a lot that rather than help, the others were half-joking about the funerary arrangements. Hell, even Crowley was getting into it, complaining about how he'd have to call Vil's father to explain how he had screwed the pooch so royally that not even the headmage could have saved him.

It was then that Riddle had an epiphany. Something Vil had said about a cleanse.

"Wait...has Vil had any interaction with Hotaru before this point?" he asked.

Idia paused.

"I don't think so. He's never been to any of the movie nights, and I don't think he'd ever spoken even three words to her before this point."

"Why do you ask?" said Azul, pushing up his glasses.

"Vil called Hotaru 'him'," said Riddle simply.

"Wait...that stupid prima donna thought the Crow was a boy?"

"Considering he has Epel in his dorm?" Azul pointed out.

Leona laughed harder.

"WHY ARE NONE OF YOU HELPING ME?!" shouted Vil.

"You're the dumbass who got between Hotaru and her sweets!" said Leona snidely. "Even Ruggie wouldn't go near her chocolate during the second week of the month!"

Hotaru was still firmly latched onto Vil's head, but she had managed to nail him in the eye with her elbow. Every attempt he made to dislodge her resulted in a new bruise.

Azul then noticed the Go Pro.

"Are you actually recording this?" he asked.

"She was kind enough to wait for me to get a proper view of the show," said Malleus amused.

"...I will pay you for that recording," said Leona, already reaching for his wallet. Azul wasn't far behind.

"Oh thank the Seven," said Kalim. Everyone looked at him. "Jamil said he's replacing the entire fridge and it's contents, and he's sent Ace and Deuce on a supply run. They also brought Cater with them."

"She did complain about running low on her monthly supplies last night," said Idia.

"So she's operating without her usual medication to deal with cramps on top of not having any sweets to help her? I'm surprised he's not dead yet," said Azul.

"...I'm having Ortho intercept the meds. Malleus-shi, could you take Hotaru for the night until they kick in?" asked Idia seriously.

"Of course," said Malleus, amused.

Leona looked only slightly disappointed, but it was clear Hotaru had won the very one-sided fight against Vil. Most of her frustrations were bled out anyway. He calmly walked over to the twitching form of Vil and Hotaru, and with a bit of pressure managed to unlatch her from Vil's head. The bite marks were going to take a week or two to fade, if they ever did.

She was still growling, until Leona dumped her unceremoniously onto Malleus' lap.

There was a knock at the door, revealing Ortho with cat ears and fake paws.

In his hands were some Midol, a small bag of supplies, and a large chocolate bar.

Hotaru nearly bit his hand trying to attack the chocolate.

Leona still snickered as he walked over Vil's prone form in the office. He had brought her wrath on himself.

Some time later...

Vil was nursing his poor abused head. He had nearly fainted a second time upon discovering the liberal amount of drool on his hair.

"So let me get this straight... the oddball Prefect of Ramshackle is actually a female, and the chocolate in the dorm belonged to her?"

"How did you justify the cost of the new fridge and expedited shipping?" asked Cater, honestly curious.

"If Kalim's family asks, I'll honestly tell them it was a necessary expense to avoid being murdered in our sleep from a rampaging she-demon," said Jamil deadpan.

Vil found it very telling that Ace and Deuce were nodding to this comment, rather than snickering.

"Did you honestly not know Hotaru was a girl?" asked Kalim, baffled.

"Of course not! I thought she was like Epel!" said Vil irate.

"Hey!" said Epel annoyed. He shut up at Vil's annoyed glare.

"It makes sense. She's always wearing those baggy clothes and hides her face a lot."

"I asked her about it one time actually," said Cater absently. "She said that if you take a super model's general bitchiness and ramp it up times a thousand, you have a teenage girl. Especially when they have a victim that they know damn well the teachers and their parents aren't going to bother defending."

Hotaru wore the baggy clothes and long hair as a shield to protect herself. If she didn't react, the bullies tended to move onto new victims until they found a way to make her crack. Dropping out in favor of online classes was a major blessing, honestly.
