White clouds glittered across the evening sky and the moon spilled it's last drops of light, giving the right time for the moon to make it appear. Two persons kept arguing for some time now. A petite boy with long hair, feminine characteristics, and very stylish clothes. (That should be no one other than Kira.) And a harsh, blond somehow Hoodlum Boy. (That was the leader of the Hoodlum Squad.)

"Give it back!?" Kira whooped as she bounces to catch her iPhone.

Though, Cobra took pleasure in watching her reactions. After what he went through these three days, it was the first time this "punk" was fearful. The strange part was that Cobra wasn't that kind of person. He had his fun moments with the guys when things weren't serious. He never picked on girls. He found it immature. Yet there he was nudging Kira, for some time now.

"I don't want too. I'll keep it. I need to find your parents' contact information." he said and scrolled up and down her contact list.

Kira's cheeks became red. She stopped jumping as she was out of air. She always could read people. Though at that time she wasn't sure 'was he messing with her, or what.' She noticed that they were still outside her work. She was dressed as a boy, jumping like a teen. "What am I doing?" she mumbled.

Cobra lowered his arm (the one that was holding her iPhone) and looked at her. Then he simply returns on his bike, climbed over and started the engine.

Kira tilted her head, spotting him on his bike ready to go. "No, no wait. I work tomorrow I need the phone." she almost begged him as Cobra had already driven away (or at least a few yards further). She pouted "I really need the phone at work tomorrow"

Suddenly, a loud sound of a bike cut the silence that was surrounding the area. Cobra turned the bike and went back. He looked at her, standing a few steps away "Oi!" he called her clearly getting her attention.

Kira stretched her body and walked over. Looking at Cobra trying to see where her phone was. Cobra turned his head and pointed at the seat behind him. "Get on! Or are you planning to show your 'yankee' self to your work too." he added.

She was puzzled by his reaction. But leaving her work, was a wise thing to do. She climbed onto the bike. Wrapped her hands around him. Cobra drove back at Sannoh district. He was going back home. If it was someone else they would surely ask Kira were she lived. And they would bring her home. Or at least leave her in a spot where she could take a taxi or the bus to go home. But Cobra was not one of those people. He reached the Hino Gas station and simply parked his bike. Then went inside his room. Kira followed. She wanted to make sure her secret was safe. She climbed off the bike and walked into his room.

Cobra rolled his eyes. "What now?" he asked her as he sat down.

Kira looked at him "You have my phone. I need it. Can I have it back!" she asked him serious with a sweet voice.

Cobra searched his jacket and found the phone. He threw it to Kira. "Here take it and leave!" he ordered her as he leaned his back and sat cozier. Kira grabbed her phone and put it inside her pocket. But he remained standing at the entrance door. "Why are you still here?" Cobra asked her.

Kira stepped closer and sat next to him "Neh, will you please not tell anyone about this?"

Cobra sighed, he scanned her from top to toe. He should just throw her out of his room. He had enough those three days. "Why should I?" he caught himself asking.

"Because It's not really affecting you. I mean you have nothing to gain, by telling my secret." Kira explained.

"Not, affecting me. Are you serious? You are a trouble bomb. I don't want you near me." Cobra added as he kept gazing at her. Even for a boy he was too well dressed. Why had he not notice that earlier?

"I will keep myself away from you. Plus if there is anything I can do?" Kira replied she really didn't want to lose her pass to neverland. And that point Cobra was holding that key.

"You will only bring bigger problems..." Cobra told her serious as the door opened. Yamato, Dan, and Tettsu appeared. They closed the door and sat with them. Dan went to look for beers in the fridge. And their chat was cut off.

"Cobra-san you have no beer?" Dan asked Cobra "I will call Chiharu to bring some."

Cobra that thought about it for a second told him "Don't call Chiharu." Then he gazed at Kira "So you will do anything?" he asked. Kira nodded and the boys just blinked confused.

"Alright, Then go and buy some beer. Can you? Or are you underage?" he mocked her.

"I can do that. Of course, I can. I am 23!" Kira said and left. Normally she would never have someone ordering her around. But now she needed to keep her secret safe.

The boys made fun of Cobra. Seeing Cobra in a good mood. And even a teasing mood it was rare. Wait! not rare they never really seen him teasing anyone. A few minutes passed and Kira was back with beers and other snacks. They spend the night at Cobra's room drinking and having fun like they were old buddies. Only Cobra didn't really like having Kira around. She was bad news.

It was already midnight. The boys were talking about random stuff. Kira drifted asleep. And Cobra just left them to take a shower. The guys were too noisy for him. He even forgot that Kira was there.

Cobra turned the hot water on. He went into the shower. It was exactly what he needed. He grabbed his sakura shower gel. He looked at the label. But really he didn't care if his skin would be smooth. He just needed some soap to clean his skin. Then he walked off the shower. Turned the water off. He wrapped the towel around his hips. He felt much better. He placed his hand against the bathroom handle and was ready to open the door...

Meanwhile, at the other room, Kira woke up. She looked at the guys, but they weren't making any sense. She stretched her head and buffed she stood up. She had few beers again. And she really needed to go to the toilet. She got up and walked over to the bathroom. She was still sleepy. She just opened the door, at the same time with Cobra.

Cobra opened the door and took a step forward. The same did Kira. Suddenly Kira's face crushed into Cobra's chest. Her lips touched his wet skin, and she almost it. Cobra gazed at her almost frozen. He was not sure what had just happened. He pushed Kira away. Kira lifted her big puppy eyes up and looked at him. She moved her lips, as she had just ice-cream. It crept Cobra out.

"hmm.. tastes like strawberry.. no, no cherry.." she mumbled looking at him in a sleepy and innocent way.

Cobra was out of words. His eyes were wide open. He had no idea how to react to that. 'she is more like walking trouble' he thought. He grabbed her from her arm and dragged her outside. "Go home!" he only said and locked his door. He looked at his chest and then of the closed door. 'What was that' his mind spaced out as he ignored everyone and went to bed.

And Kira still confused and sleepy, took a taxi and went home. (After she went and change back to her girly clothes.) For one more time, she would not remember what she did this night.

The next morning everything seemed to be back to normal. Kira was already at work, dressed as a girl. She had to work more hours to cover for yesterday's absence. There were also few changes happen at her work. A new manager was hired. The girls were talking about him all over the place. The guys seemed to envy him. Kira although didn't even notice. Her problem was how to dissuade Cobra from revealing her secret. Although he didn't yesterday would he keep his word?

Meanwhile, Cobra was dealing with serious issues. It seemed that last night was one more attack. But this time it was around Oya High.

"I met Todoroki* early this morning. Here look at the video." Chiharu said and showed Cobra and Yamato the video with a kid from Oya High being bitten.

Cobra crashed his fist against the table. "We can no more ignore them," he said seriously.

"What do you want us to do Cobra-san?" Tettsu asked him.

"I have to meet the other four leaders. We have to look into," he informed them.

After what had happened with Kuryu all five leaders (of SWORD) had agreed never to leave any issue unsolved. They should try to find the answer before things would get serious.

Today was one of those times. Cobra messaged all of them. They were supposed to meet later the same day. One more problem was rising again. But that wasn't a major one. There was a bigger threat raising, but no one could see it. It was taking it's time to grow. And when it was ready it would take down everything.

5 years ago...

Sawatari Goro now worked at Ado High School as a vice principal. Once more he had changed schools. He, as well as Yamaguchi, couldn't remain in the same school for more than two or three years. Although the head director of the school board specifically orders him to handle the problematic class 3-D, the students are just too much for him. So Sawatari ( as always) asked Yamaguchi for help. Only this time, class 3-D caused more problems than any other class. Yankumi accepted the offer, only to find that her class (again) is full of punks and one evil leader, Yamata Ryusuke*.

Yamata is the kind of leader that seemed evil. He came from a rich family. He was a great student. But as bad news. He could easily hit a teacher even if the teacher was a woman. He almost hit Kumiko too. But, thankfully the cute pen that she found on the floor saved her. The same day Ryusuke was accused to hit a female student. Yankumi trusted him and helped him win his innocent back. But Ryusuke's heart was still not touched. After many weeks and a lot of effort, he managed Yankumi to crack his heart.

He also had found out about her family's secret. But he didn't tell anyone. After that, he was always visiting the Oedo family. He had also become friends with Yusuke and Kira. Shin, had noticed that Ryusuke was in love with Kira. He said Ryusuke, he should tell Kira. Keeping feelings like that hidden could bring a lot of problems. Shin knew that better than everyone. He had kept his love for Kumiko as a secret for many years. He didn't want to see one more person to do the same mistake.

They haven't seen Ryusuke since he went to college. All those years, although he had never seen Kira, he still was in love with her. And he needed to see her soon...
