"You! You fiend! Violating little girls on rooftops! How hideously inappropriate for a man your age!" she hollered at the man before her.

Hibari looked down condescendingly at his new assaulter before pushing her out of his way and continuing his walk to the disciplinary room.

The OC fell backwards, stumbling over a step and descending the stairs without actually touching the ground. She seethed with rage as she clung on to the railing. That imbecile! He deserved to be obliterated by a thousand little munchkins and sent riding over a rainbow!

His future, it must be destroyed!

So the first thing that came to her mind was – assault him back. It was only logical. Praying that the nice boy who brought her here would not get in the way, she bounced back up the stairs, and proceeded to further impede Hibari's journey down the stairs.

Kusakabe face-palmed. It was going to be a long day.

It was a brawl. A very silent one. One that involved both parties eyeballing each other.

The edges of the hallway tinged green, light bulbs crackled, the silence was unearthly.

Ahh. The OC smiled. How like The Motherland.

"And you know, I moved all the way here to find you!" like a pricked bubble, the tense atmosphere was shattered by a girl appearing from the rooftop, seemingly talking to herself, a yellow fluffball in her hands.

The OC looked more closely. WAIT. Correction, the girl was not talking to herself, but to the yellow fluffball.

Mary S. Tan walked down the corridor, heedless of the gawping expressions of the people who lined it. She walked on, straight until she came between that bird-napper and the girl who was trying to stomp on his foot. Then she stopped.

"You!" she glared shrilly at Hibari, one hand clasped around the yellow bird protectively, and the other, index finger outstretched and pointing accusingly at him.

A vein in Hibari's temple seemed to twitch in irritation. He was late.

"Your name is Hibari, right?" she jabbed his chest.

"…" Hibari felt like breaking the finger that was smearing dust over his pristine, white shirt, however, being sandwiched between two raving crazy girls and trying to avoid being bashed in the head by one of them wasn't exactly very easy.

"Change it!" the girl demanded shrilly.

The OC watched as this strange newcomer proceeded to jab the man. This suited her just fine. Taking her chance as her victim was being distracted, she proceeded to try and kick him once more. It seemed as if his legs would never stop moving, though.

"Just wait a minute!" Kusakabe butted in, his hands flailing and face paling. "Why should Kyouya-san have to change his name?"

Mary S. Tan gave a loud 'humph' as she swiveled around to face Kusakabe. "Isn't it obvious? Hibari's totally adorable, sweet, amusing, and much, much, more! Hibari's like the sun, the only source of energy for our Earth, this ecosystem! That which gives plants light energy for photosynthesis, so the energy can be spread to the rest of the living organisms on our planet! The very core of our survival! But that –" she whipped her hand around to point at Hibari, narrowly missing his nose. "– that thing over there! He violates the pinnacle of science, logic, and all things good and sweet! He is terrible! Horrendous! Should such a wondrous name like 'Hibari' belong to him as well…my Hibari…my Hibari will be forever sullied!"

As if to parry her dramatic speech, the school bell chimed cheerily, resounding across the hallway. This marked the end of their break.

Rule 17a), section ii part d) of the Namimori High school rule book: No loitering around the corridors after the bell for break has chimed.

Ever vigilant in his duties as head of the disciplinary committee, Hibari's gaze swept across the corridors, seemingly ignorant of the fact that he was being cornered by two little twerps.

As one, the onlookers seemed to squeak and the hall cleared in a matter of seconds. 2.5721348 seconds – The OC mused, before returning to her attempts of defenestrating the cad in front of her.

The fact that he was late for the disciplinary meeting and that he would soon be violating rule 17a), section ii part d), made Hibari's brain whirr like clockworks as his muscles moved involuntarily. There was no way that he would be caught breaking a rule. With new found speed and dexterity, he escaped the little circle The OC and Mary S. Tan had created, and vanished down the hallway in a matter of 0.134288 seconds, as The OC duly recorded.

"You coward! Do all you earthlings violate little girls on a regular basis and leave as if nothing has happened? Come back here!" The OC hollered after the man, making haste to follow him.

"Oh dear," was all the dumbfounded Kusakabe could mutter before he followed suit towards the direction of the Disciplinary Room. There would be many bitings and deaths before the day was over…

A bewildered and indignant Mary S. Tan was left in the corridor, leaving the undeterred Ryohei with the air of a big brother to guide her back to her class.

"Mary-chan, where did you go? Lessons are almost starting!" a girl told Mary S. Tan reproachfully as the latter entered the classroom.

"I'm sorry Kayu-san, I had some…matters to settle," Mary S. Tan told her distractedly, trying to force a hyperactive, yellow bird to settle down in her pocket.

"It's Kiryuu…" the girl looked appropriately hurt.

"Oh, I'm sorry," Mary S. Tan muttered, now trying to discreetly dump a handful of what looked like biscuit crumbs into her pocket. "It's kind of hard, you know? Some names are just…hard to remember…"
