Kazuko was pretty sure Kyoko and Hana were at home, had dinner, and even went to bed. The sun was setting and the sky was beautiful orange and yellow. Classes were over three hours ago but Kazuko had to stay and help the other first years with their English lessons. Still, Kazuko made her way to Namimori Middle. She was hoping for whatever reason she would maybe catch up with them.

When Kazuko turned a corner on the empty street, a fifty or so feet away from the gate of the school when she heard voices. They were loud and it sounded like a couple of them. Kazuko came to a stop when she saw three tall boys in a green school uniform emerging from an alley a few feet in front of her. She recognized the uniform, they went to a school not too far from here, they belonged to Kokuyo Junior High.

When the group of boys noticed her they stopped cold in their tracks and smirked at one another. She sighed. Was it one of these days huh?

"Look at what we have here," the middle one said, "a Namimidori girl huh?"

The middle one seemed to be the leader. He had dark shaggy hair and tan skin. There was one on his left that was a bit shorter than him but taller than her. He was muscular, more than the other two. The third one was skinny and looked like he didn't have a clue. He just seemed to be enjoying being with the other two.

"She sure is a beauty," the skinny tall one said. They were in front of her in no time and circling her like vultures. They were whistling, howling, and chuckling. She had already had enough. She went to move past them but was stopped when a large arm was stretched in front of her. It was the leader.

"Where are you going," he asked with a sly voice, "the party just started."

Kazuko glared the boy. A glare that could kill, hoping she wouldn't have to resort to forceful tactics. Kazuko saw a figure suddenly appear behind the group of boys, in front of her. It was another boy, but he was different. As he stood there watching and letting the other boys notice him. They turned quickly, taken aback.

"K-Kyoya Hibari?!"

Kazuko, still irritated, looked the boy up and down. He was around the same age as her, around average height, he had short black hair with a fringe that joins at the center of his face, with narrow gray eyes, that was intimidating the group around her. He wore a white short sleeve buttoned shirt with a red tie, black slacks, black belt, black shoes, and a red armband with gold trim and gold lettering that read Disciplinary Committee.

"Kokuyo Junior High, eh?" the black haired boy said.

The group of boys around her were visibly trembling but still standing there. Kazuko sighed. She had enough. The group of boys were idiots and obviously had an issue with this "Kyoya Hibari" but she was being dragged into it just being next to them.

"You're a nuisance to Namimori Middle," he said. Then it clicked with her. He must have been a part of the Disciplinary Committee at Namimori Middle. He seemed bored with this entire endeavor and so was she. He also seemed to take his duties as part of the Disciplinary Committee too seriously. This would be the last time she tried to meet up with the girls this late again.

"Leave," Kazuko blinked rapidly and to make sure her eyes were seeing what she thought she saw. That's when she noticed the Disciplinary Committee's boy tonfa's, "or I'll bite you to death."

The boy's arms were raised in front of him and in his hands were tonfa's. They were steel. They were actual weapons. Kazuko was a bit worried. This boy seemed to be fighting with these people for real.

"Y-you ca-can't take us all on!" It was the leader again and he didn't seem quite sure himself as he stood there. The other two seemed to want to back down but stayed where they were. These guys were idiots. If they didn't leave he would probably put them in the hospital or worse.

When the boys didn't back down she could see everything going in slow motion. The leader, who was standing in front of her was about to throw a punch. Kazuko couldn't take it. This was a dangerous situation. So she did what made sense in her mind.

Kazuko let her pink bag slip from her shoulder, and drop to the ground. Kazuko grabbed the back of the leader's school uniform, swiftly turned, and tossed him overhead. Kazuko was small and the force of her throw would have brought her down on top of him, but her training had prepared her for that type of problem. Kazuko used the body of the boy who was laying flat on his stomach, winded, and cartwheeled herself over him. Her ballet lessons paid off when it came to her outstanding flexibility and agility.

Kazuko landed flat on her feet and turned to face the other boys. The other two boys were scared, she could almost smell it. They stood, shocked as they stared at that Namimori boy and then back at her. She was hoping that alone would make them turn and run with their tails between their legs. Kazuko was sadly mistaken when the boys reacted and not how she had hoped.

"You-" the clueless one charged for her but was quickly halted. The boy with the tonfa's had landed only a single hit on his back, knocking him out cold. He landed on top of the other one, pinning the tan one underneath him. The very last one was shaking horribly, his knees wobbling. The tonfa boy started to make his way over to him. Without a second to think Kazuko ran in front of the cowering boy.

Kazuko stood in front of him with her arms stretched out and bowed her head.

"They're sorry," Kazuko said softly, "and I think they've had enough."

The boy stood still in front of her and said nothing. Kazuko looked up at him through her bangs. Her olive eyes gleaming under the setting sun. The boy's gray eyes were shimmering as well. His gaze was fierce and intimidating but there was a look in his eyes. A look of intrigue. He looked fascinated with her. Why?

He was silent as he watched her. He had not even blinked as he watched her. Kazuko stood straight up and gave a small awkward smile. He wasn't attacking them or her. She quickly made a move to grab the bag she dropped and bowed once more before she made a slow jog home. Unaware that she was being watched by him and also another pair of eyes.
