Target 1: Izuko Imamura

Target 1: Izuko Imamura

There were many things 14-year-old Izuko regretted in life; like taking the extra change from the cashier without telling, stealing her friends yaoi books and not giving them back, but the situation she was in right now she regretted the most. Just two weeks after transferring into her new school, she was already in trouble.

She had made a comment about Hibari Kyoya's capability of being leader of the Discipline Committee, noting he was very violent to the students of the school and didn't seem to care at all about them. …Which he didn't. Though no one told her about how "influential" he was, by influential she meant violent and scary. Satan himself would have a hard time handling Hibari. So for the past 3 hours, she had avoiding going anywhere near the reception room and hid from his lackeys. She was planning to leave school unscathed.

The brown haired girl snuck quietly and quickly through the halls of the school. Not one of Hibari's lackeys in sight. After a few minutes of sneaking around, she stood in front of her English class proud at her notorious escape. This was her last class of the day and after this, she was home free.

She gripped the sliding door but froze when a rather large hand placed itself on her shoulder before spinning her around.

The girl blinked and looked up to see a rather tall and big guy. To her, he looked like a middle school student that worked out too much and stole his father's steroids.

"Are you Imamura Izuko?" He asked roughly.

Well at least his voice matched his body.

She gave a slight nod, afraid to look into his beady black eyes. He gave a grin. "Well than that's good, Hibari-Sama wishes to speak to you."

"N-no wait I didn't mean to say what I said." Izuko spoke rapidly but it was all for naught as the thug grabbed her wrist.

"Well too late now." He said and attempted to drag Izuko off but she gripped the sliding door like her life depended on it, which it did. With one good yank her grasp was broken and she was dragged off to the reception room where her death awaited her.

"Yo Hibari, we got the girl." The thug said knocking on the reception room door.

"Bring her in then." An ice cold voice replied causing Izuko to shiver and shrink back. The thug opened the door and Izuko was shocked to see the owner of the voice. The person was a rather good looking boy but had the unapproachable aura around him; she sure as hell wasn't going to take any risks around this guy. After pushing Izuko into the room, the thug left, leaving her alone with the deranged student.

Hibari, who was leaning against a rather expensive looking couch, stood up straight and walked towards Izuko ominously. Izuko tried to speak but all that came out were stutters. "W-well y-you see I didn't mean-"

Izuko was cut short as something whizzed past her face and smashed the wall behind her. She shut up immediately and didn't dare to move. "Oh god, oh god, oh god, oh god!!" Did that guy just throw a metal tonfa at her!?

"So you're the one who's been talking about me." Hibari gave a cold smile. Izuko eyed the other tonfa gripped in his hands; she tried to come up with something to say but instead looked like a gaping fish. Hibari seemed to notice her lack of response and narrowed his eyes. "You'd better come up with an answer quick." Hibari said, sounding obviously irritated. Suddenly a sound of the door opening caught his attention and Izuko didn't dare turn around to see who it was. Hibari stared as a tall black haired boy stepped into the room, somewhat confused.

"What a nice room." The new occupant smiled, not even noticing the violence that was about to occur. His eyes then turned to Hibari and his smile was gone.

The tonfa user narrowed his eyes. "Who are you?" Hibari asked. Izuko let out a small sigh in relief that Hibari's attention wasn't on her anymore.

Another boy walked in, a lit cigarette in his mouth. He noticed Hibari and glared. "Who the heck is this guy?" He asked with furrowed brows, basically asking the same question as Hibari.

"Gokudera, don't do anything drastic." The black haired boy turned to his friend, warning the Italian. Hibari turned to Gokudera and smirked. "You mind putting that cigarette out in my presence? You just stepped in my territory and I won't allow herbivores like you to leave without repercussion."

"What was that, you-!?" Gokudera cried. He took a step forward and his hands automatically reaching for his dynamites. "Who does this bastard think he is?!"

Hibari acted quickly and whipped his tonfas towards the approaching boy, with one smooth move the light from Gokudera's cigarette went out. Izuko stared in shock at the scene in front of her. "Holy shit, I have to get the hell out of here." The brown haired girl thought and tried to slip past the now arguing boys. Her escape plan however was thrown out the window when Hibari noticed her trying to leave. "Onna." Hibari said simply eyeing her. "If you try to escape, I'll have to bite you to death."

"Shit..." Izuko stood her ground and mentally kicked herself.

"Looking at you herbivores makes me want to take you down." Hibari noted turning his attention back to the two who looked back in fear. "I was in the middle of something and you just had to interrupt me, how rude." He spoke softly. The two boys turned their attention to Izuko who was visibly shaking now.

"What were doing to her?" Yamamoto inquired as he noticed Izuko squeezing her hands tightly and staring at the floor.

"Don't look at them, don't look at them! If you do, you'll just cry! Hibari will let you have it if he sees that!"

"Punishment." Hibari replied glancing over Izuko who felt his icy stare. "So after I am done finishing you two off, she's next." His voice was as calm as a summer's breeze.

"You're going to beat up a girl?!" Yamamoto stared at him in shock.

"I don't discriminate between genders; if you piss me off...you'll get the same treatment." Hibari answered coldly causing Gokudera to glare at him.

"Stop crowding around." Hibari said, about to strike Gokudera who was getting ready to run towards Hibari. Izuko covered her face with her hands. The girl had seen many mafia and spy movies, but she feared seeing fights in real life. Broken bones and blood made her queasy.

As Gokudera ran towards Hibari, the black haired boy slid quickly to the side and allowed his tonfas to connect with Gokudera's face. The dynamite user stumbled back, hands gripping his face in pain but promptly ignored it by gritting his teen in anger. "You bastard." Gokudera growled blood trickling from his nose and mouth. Izuko peaked behind her hands and felt like if her stomach jumped into her throat. Oh god! Hibari was going to slaughter them all!

Then the reception room door opened and another guest entered, not knowing the danger he just put himself in. Admiring the room, the spiky brown hared boy hadn't notice Gokudera till the last second. "Eeeee, Gokudera!" The boy cried as he saw his bleeding friend, whom was glaring at Hibari.

"Juudaime, leave now!" Gokudera snapped as he tried to stand.

"B-but."

Izuko was about to follow the others example and tell the boy to run but the words were caught in her throat as Hibari took the moment to strike Tsuna, sending the boy sprawling into a wall.

"Damn you!" Gokudera cursed, now he was pissed. He rushed at Hibari, who again dodged his attack and gave him another good smack to his face with the pair of tonfas. It was enough to send Gokudera towards the floor and he didn't get back up after that.

Gokudera was out.

To Izuko, they were all doomed.

Izuko was soon forced to watch as Hibari took down the tall ebony haired boy and the brown haired one. After he was finished, Hibari turned his attention towards Izuko. "I might as well take you down too." Hibari gave out a sneer before rushing towards Izuko who grabbed the nearest blunt object, an English text book, and threw it. She stared after the flying literature wide eyed.

"These delinquents read!?" She thought in shock, momentarily ignoring the situation. However the approaching Hibari was enough to make her yelp and grab more objects from books, to pillows, a cup. Whatever she threw at him were either knocked aside by his tonfa or dodged. Izuko then randomly picked up an item, which was a small statue replica of a pondering man, before throwing it in desperation. Hibari had no trouble deflecting the flying blunt object with his tonfas and stared at it as it smashed into a nearby wall and fell to pieces.

"You're paying for that." He muttered simply as he ran towards Izuko, who squeaked and fell back in fear.

Hibari smirked and rushed forward on the falling Izuko, giving her an uppercut with his right tonfa. Izuko let out a pained yell as she felt the explosion of pain being sent throughout her nerves and it multiplied the moment she was knocked into a coffee table. Izuko groaned and didn't dare move from the floor, her body ached and copper tasting liquid dripped from her mouth. The numb like pain spreading through her tongue told her enough that she may have bitten it when Hibari punched her.

"Such weaklings." Hibari shook his head in disapproval, much more in a mocking manner. Tsuna, who was off on the side, managed to gain consciousness and stared in shock at the three bodies that lay before him.

"…Yamamoto…Gokudera!?" He cried not knowing what just happened and stared in shock when he notice Izuko's motionless body near the couch and the shattered coffee table. Hibari notice his gaze and smirked. "They won't be getting up, I made sure of that." Hibari spoke defiantly. Hibari flipped his tonfas for a bit as the boy stood there frozen. "Take your time I'll call an ambulance for you." Hibari taunted, a smirk resting on his face.

"Eeeeee!"

Izuko nearby was barely conscious and manage to hear the sound of a gun going off, but she really didn't care. The only thing she wanted was the pain from her lower back to disappear. Izuko shut her eyes tightly trying to ignore the faint sounds of fighting. After what seemed to be hours, she heard a loud explosion that made her ears ring.

...Someone picked her up and everything went black.

¸,ø ¤º°°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°°º¤ ø,¸¸,ø ¤º°°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°°º¤ ø,¸¸,ø ¤º°°º¤¸¸,ø ¤º°°º¤¸¸,ø¤º°°º¤¸¸,ø

Thoughts of a talking tonfa with piercing red eyes snapped Izuko out of her state of unconsciousness. She let out a groan as the setting sun pierced her sensitive blue eyes. …Wait...setting sun!? Izuko quickly sat up only to feel a sharp pain shoot up her sides and back, in reaction she flopped back down onto the bed. "Ouch..." She muttered before her thoughts drifted back to what had transpired a while ago. "I wonder who carried me here..." Izuko muttered aloud as she stared up at the dull white ceiling of the infirmary.

"I did." A rough voice gave her an answer. The brown haired girl flinched and looked over towards the source of the voice. Sitting on the bed across from her was the transfer student...Gokudera.

Izuko scrunched up her face at the lit cigarette in his mouth. "This is an infirmary you know, where sick people go to get better and not to get cancer." Her eyes showed much dislike towards the lit stick in his mouth. But from the looks he was giving her, he didn't appreciate her comment. "No one is in here except you and me. I really don't care about you." He said glaring at Izuko who glared back. "I can't believe that damn Yamamoto made me carry your heavy ass, he could be doing anything to Juudaime right now." Gokudera growled tapping his leg in frustration.

"Did that bastard just call me fat?" Izuko thought gritting her teeth. You never call a girl fat...ever. Man! If only she was well again, she would have karate chop his ass like her dad taught her! However before she could say anything back about his comment, Gokudera quickly stood up.

"I'm going to check on Juudaime." Gokudera said, and quickly left Izuko in the nurse's office.

Izuko watched him go with a glare. "What a jerk! Yeah, go on to your precious Juudaime!" She mocked within her head. She didn't have the guts to say it out loud though...she was injured after all.

Well the day of being a cowardly girl was over, fortunately for Izuko.

The blue eyed-girl slid out of bed, against the protest of her aching back. After locating her school bag which was under the bed, Izuko made her exit out of the nurse's office only to come across the three guys...again.

There in the middle of the hallway, Gokudera and Yamamoto were arguing about something while Tsuna was in the middle trying to calm them down. Izuko turned on her heels and got ready to quietly sneak away but she didn't manage to get far as the young brown haired boy of the group called out to her. "Hey are you alright?" He asked concerned.

Izuko put on her best smile and turned to him. "I'm fine; I guess I just needed some rest."

"Yeah right, you were nearly dead. Didn't do much to help..." Gokudera interjected. Izuko glared, finally having enough of his attitude. "Are you calling me useless?! What the hell did YOU do to help?!" Izuko cried out.

"What was that!?" Gokudera snapped, pulling out a stick of dynamite.

"Gokudera don't!" Yamamoto said, resting a hand on the crazed boy's shoulder. Gokudera brushed him off and glared.

"Don't touch me baseball freak; I'm going to blow her away!" Gokudera growled, to which Tsuna replied with a "yikes" and tried to stop him from doing so.

"Go ahead, I dare ya! My day can't get any worse than this!" Izuko shouted at him, ready to punch the silver haired boy. She knew kung-fu dammit! However to her horror, Gokudera actually threw the dynamites at her. Automatically the brown haired girl shut her eyes and waited for death to claim her.

"It's time for you to die." A tiny voice said.

Izuko heard yet another bang and something pierced her forehead, pain spreading throughout her whole body like she had been hit by a truck and she slowly felt herself falling.

"Why me….? Why do I have to die now of all times…?" The young girl thought, feelings of regret filled her body. "I wish my life wasn't over, I wish I could have..."

The sound of cloths ripping and bright piercing flame was all Izuko could remember.
