The first day of any new school is supposed to be nerve racking but that's not how Yakumo Sakura felt. In fact the 11 year old was very excited to show off her new level of confidence. Over the summer she had been more involved in her family business. Kai and Bai made sure to take time to teach her not only how to defend herself but also how to properly fight. They also show her the business aspect of the family business including the properties her family had owned for generations. Then there were the four ports they also owned on the north side of town where their imports of goods came in.
One would think that these ports would be sneaking in illegal goods but you'd be wrong. In fact like most Japanese Yakuza's the Yakumo Yakuza is all about helping out those in need. The goods that were being brought in were all items that were possibly illegal in Japan but legal in other countries. Either way they were all items that people needed and the Yakuza provided.
The other half of the business was real estate. The Yakuza owned a couple of properties in Namimori that includes, one apartment building, two outdoor shopping malls and the Yakumo compound which was a large traditional Japanese home that took up a large city block where all the business happened.
Learning all this totally gave the 14 year old Yakuza Princess more confidence than any normal 14 year old would have. The contrast was clear as day when other first years of Namimori Middle School walked through the front gate. Sakura carried herself tall and confident while her best friend Hinamori Yuna looked beyond scared and nervous. "I don't know how you do it, Sakura," Yuna said, holding on to the arm of her friend. Sakura glanced at her as they entered the school and walked over the announcement boards that shared which classroom each student was assigned. "It's all about how you want others to see you. I want people to notice me and I want them to be aware of my pretense." Sakura commented. Yuna looked at her. "Because of your family business?" Sakura nodded.
The girls walked over to the board where Yuna let go of Sakura and started on one side of the boards. Sakura went to the other and they both looked for their names. Sakura noticed both their names on the second board. They were in the same class which was a relief for both of them. The princess went over to her friend and pulled her out of the crowd. "We are in the same class. Class 1B" Yuna lit up and hugged her friend. "Oh thank goodness" They shared an excited giggle.
Just then a rogue gust of wind blew through the crowd of students. Sakura turned her head to avoid her soft light brown hair flying into her face. Her eyes then met another. A young man dressed in the proper male student uniform with a red band on his right arm. It was like time had slowed down as her breath hitched staring at this young man. His eyes met hers but only for a brief second before he turned his attention back to the other students. It was then she noticed the other male student standing next to the one that was making her heart race. It was the outdated hairstyle that this man was wearing that she noticed about this second one. But the air around the other one that made her face flare up. She couldn't take her eyes off him as she openly stared.
"Sakura come on we'll be late" Yuna pulled her back to reality. "Who is that?" Sakura asked instantly, looking at her friend. Yuna looked over to where her best friend was staring. "That's Hibari Kyoya. He's a second year in charge of the Disciplinary Committee here at Namichu. And the guy standing next to him with the weird haircut is his right hand man, Kusakabe Tetsuya" Yuna explained. Sakura looked back at the young man named Hibari once more. "Hibari Kyoya huh" she muttered with a slight smirk on her face.
The girls made their way into the main building to switch out their shoes. Their classroom was on the second floor as most club rooms were on the first. They made their way up the stairs to find their classroom. They were almost swept away by the crowd of students trying to find their own classrooms when Sakura grabbed Yuna's arm and pulled her into their classroom. A sign above the door said, 1-B, on it. Yuna was thankful that her best friend pulled into the classroom as she continued to watch the first years rush to their classrooms.
"Why is everyone in such a hurry?" she asked no one in particular. A male student in the classroom turned to look at the new girls. "Don't you know Hibari-senpai?" he asked them. Yuna and Sakura looked confused. "Hibari-senpai will beat up anyone at the school who doesn't follow the rules." another male student said. "I heard a rumor that the teachers let him do whatever he wants because his family has power and money" another student spoke up. "Either way" a female student intervened. "You don't want to get on his bad side" she commented, taking a seat. Yuna and Sakura had more questions but the bell for class rang and the rest of the students quickly took their seats. Yuna and Sakura assumed it was in fear of Hibari.
At lunch time students were allowed to eat in the classroom or go eat in the cafeteria. Yuna and Sakura opted to go to the cafeteria to grab food but eat in the classroom. The walk to the cafeteria was uneventful but inside the cafeteria, that was bustling with students, Yuna struggled to decide what to eat.
"Should I get Curry bread or Yakisoba bread?" Yuna asked Sakura. Sakura glanced at the bread available for purchase. "Why not both?" she asked, shrugging. Yuna looked at her and frowned. Sakura sighed and rolled her eyes as they got to the front of the line. "Two Curry breads and two Yakisoba bread" she ordered. The man reached into the cased and handed the girl the bread. Sakura handed the bread to Yuna then pulled out her wallet. "9,600" He told her. She easily pulled out a 10,000 yen bill and handed it to the man. He handed her four one hundred yen coins back and the girls moved out of the line. "Thank you Sakura," Yuna said both grateful and ashamed. Sakura thought nothing of it.
The girls were walking back to the classroom when Sakura noticed something outside the second floor window. Yuna noticed her friend distracted and looked out the window as well. "Eh?! Isn't that Hibari-senpai that our classmates told us about?" she asked, seeing one man beating another student right there in the courtyard and everyone ignoring it. Sakura was staring at him. "I think so yeah" she commented smiling as she watched him. Yuna looked over at her. "Sakura?" But Sakura didn't hear her. She was focused on this young man and the way he was fighting. She was watching and studying his moves.
"Sakura?" Yuna called for her again but Sakura was still distracted by this unruly hair prefect. Her eyes full of admiration. Her body itching to fight with him as well and experience his strength. "Sakura-chan?!" Yuna raised her voice forcing her best friend to look at her. There was a smug look on Yuna's face. "You like him," she said, smirking. "What?" Sakura asked, still coming out of her admiration trance. "You. Like. Hibari-senpai." Yuna said it slowly and deliberately. The Yakuza Princess felt her ears burning. "I do not," she retorted. Yuna started giggling as she headed back to the classroom. Sakura followed behind her trying to calm her fast beating heart.
After school Yuna was switching out her shoes while Sakura stood next to her locker. "Does Kai-san mind giving me a ride home today?" she asked her friend. "Do you need a ride home or do you want to sleep over?" Sakura asked. Yuna shook her head. "Just a ride home. Mom is working today but she'll be home for dinner" Sakura nodded. "Yeah we can give you a ride no problem" she assured her friend as they made their way towards Sakura's locker so she could switch her shoes as well.
Together they left the school and headed towards Kai who had the car around the corner. "Good afternoon Sakura-sama, Yuna-san" he greeted them both. "Thanks for the ride Kai-san." Yuna said, smiling as she got in the car. Sakura got in after her. Kai got in the driver's seat. "Sakura-sama and I never mind giving you rides anywhere, Yuna-san. Please continue to relax." he told her as he started the car. They took off towards Yuna's house.
The drive started quiet before Kai noticed his princess distracted. "How was school?" He asked them trying to see what had the princess distracted. "Sakura has a crush" Yuna right away teased her best friend. Sakura's eyes widened and her face flushed. "Yuna!" she yelled in a very high pitched girly voice. Yuna started laughing. Kai noticed the blush on her face. "It sounds like you two had a good first day" he concluded out loud as the girls jokingly fought in the back seat.
They dropped off Yuna who told Sakura she would see her in the morning at school. Kai asked if she would need a ride in the morning but Yuna said her mom would drop her off which pleased Kai. "Please remind your parents if they need anything to ask" he told her. She nodded and waved before she entered the front gate of her yard that would lead to the front door.
From there Kai began to drive the Yakuza Princess home. "So a crush Sakura-hime?" he asked her. Sakura felt her ears burning. "It's nothing" she quickly said trying to calm the burning sensation of her cheeks. Kai smiled to see her acting like a normal 14 year old instead of young Yakuza leader. "What's his name hime?" A small fond smile appeared on her face. "His name is Hibari Kyoya. He's a second year and the leader of the Disciplinary Committee. I saw him fighting today Kai and...He looked so cool. And strong. I want to fight him" she said smiling as she looked up at the rear view mirror. Kai smiled. "I will find out all the information I can about him," he told her. She nodded her head. "Thank you." Kai glanced back at her. "If he's part of the Disciplinary Committee then he must be very strict with the rules of the school" he commented to her. "Yeah... I think I want to challenge him so he'll notice me. But I'll need you to back me up in case I get in trouble" she told him. "Leave everything to me Hime" he told her. She nodded her head as a small smirk tugged her lips. "Middle school is going to be fun"
"You're out of your mind!" Yuna said, staring at her friend. Sakura and Yuna were about a block away from the main gates of Namichu. "He's going to kill you dressed like that. It's only the second day of school and you're really going to upset the Disciplinary Committee leader?" Yuna questioned, staring at her best friend. Sakura had her hair tied up in a high ponytail so the ends of her hair were brushing her shoulders. Her uniform shirt had the first two buttons undone showing a bit of cleavage and the bottom three buttons showing off her bellybutton. The uniform skirt was rolled up so high that it barely covered her ass. She had no socks on and was rocking a pair of pink three inch high heels.
"He's going to kill you the moment he sees you." Yuna said, shaking her head. Sakura was smirking, "That's the goal" she commented as they started walking towards the main gate. "So you're dressed like this to purposely get him to notice you?" Yuna asked. Sakura nodded her head. "Don't worry Yuna. You won't get in trouble; this will be for my own amusement." she said smiling.
One could say it was almost instant. As if Hibari himself felt something off in the universe that surrounded his school. He could sense the troublemaker entering the campus ground like a rabid bear looking for its next meal. And when he noticed all the male eyes staring at this first year girl disrespecting the Namimori Middle School Uniform, he nearly imploded. His tonfa's were drawn as he stalked over to this disrespecting herbivore. But this first year was a trained fighter and she could sense his hostile spirit instantly. "Yuna leave." Sakura used a tone of voice that Yuna hadn't heard since the day her and Sakura became friends. Yuna quickly stepped away from her friend but didn't want to leave her alone completely.
Hibari was so much quicker than Sakura expected. She nearly didn't dodge that first strike. Her eyes were wide as she landed her first flip, but Hibari was faster and went to strike again. The princess was aware of his speed and was ever so gracefully able to dodge his second attack by throwing her weight over him and landing on the opposite side of him. Hibari felt her hands use him as a launching pad to land her flip. He turned to look at her; his piercing gray eyes glaring at her. "1st year, Class 1-B Yakumo Sakura" he stated her name. Sakura could not help the smile that appeared on her face. "So you know of me Hibari-senpai," she said smiling. "I know every student at Namichu" Well... that made the smile on the girl's face disappear. "How Disappointing." She commented, pouting a little.
"Your uniform does not meet the dress code. Fix. It." he spat at her. "No." Sakura calmly challenged him. His piercing gray eyes met her soft brown eyes. Hibari's eyebrow twitched as he took a stance to fight the girl again when the main bell for class to begin rang. "Welp this was fun Hibari but I don't want to be late" she told him smiling before she could at top speed rushed to switch her shoes out. "Wait..." he yelled at her but she was long gone. He would normally chase after her but he didn't want to damage his precious school. He wasn't sure this herbivore would feel the same way either.
"I can't believe you." Yuna muttered to Sakura as they entered the classroom. Sakura had not changed her uniform at all. "It was worth it." she said smiling. Yuna shook her head. "He's going to kill you the moment you leave school grounds." she pointed out. "That's what I'm hoping for." The cherry blossom said with a huge smile on her face. Yuna leaned closer to her friend. "Sakura do you really like Hibari-senpai?" she asked her in a hushed voice. Sakura looked away, her ears burning, and face flushed. "Yes. I guess you could say it is love at first sight." she commented, smiling a little to herself.
