"I don't think tact is in the b*tch's dictionary really. She was about a sentence away from me shoving my fist down her throat." She took another drag, and another wisp of irritance met with Haruka's face. "So....she's like what? Your second or your third? Or maybe your first? I dunno. I don't really keep up with that kinda stuff." A bit of a snide remark, with only a more snarky attitude to boot, just casually smoking in front of who Tohru considered one of the most strict and straight-laced students at Lilium, however....she didn't seem so straight-lace at all after that encounter.

Haruka frowned at Tohru's language about Kira but her ex-lover didnt need her defending her honour or anything so she let it pass and instead sighed at the rest of it. Really the slut shaming at this school was so inherent in the culture that Haruka had had to defend herself from vicious attacks multiple times. It was sad really, she felt more sorry for others who weren't as strong or calm in themselves, girls had killed themselves before now. 

"She's just a brash character, but a good friend. You'd like her once you got to know her. And if what you mean by 'first or second or third' is girlfriend then she's my second technically, though my first was a more confused affair- and could you be more considerate with your smoking habits Honada-san? I'm used to it but Mira-chan might not be."

She glared at the cigarrette, not particularly having a problem with smoking students (if they wanted to kill themselves then let them) just when they did it around others. Suddenly she heard the commotion behind her and her eyes narrowed angrily. It was good that Tohru and Mira went to take care of the victim because Haruka only had eyes for the perpetrators, striding over to them and grabbing them before they could leave. "You think thats funny? Huh? Second year Miyamoto-kouhai?" She said the words with the clear meaning that she was the elder and she was definately someone they should not ignore. The group went pale and Miyamoto flinched at Haruka's tough grip before she let go. "You better go and apologise to that girl, dont you dare disagree. I bet you even know what you said was wrong, you just thought the foreigner was a good target? I suggest you rethink your position." She gestured angrily to the american girl and the group of bullies cowered before stumbling over to her and bowing in a trembling manner, muttering hasty sorrys before running very far away.

Haruka came over, her brow pinched and annoyed as she watched them go before turning to the new girl. "Miss... Haru-san? Are you alright? I can get you some more clothes if you need them. Feel free to come to me if you have anymore problems like this, I'm quite adept at solving them." She smiled in a surprisingly gentle manner, noticing Mira offering her handkerchief and Tohru offering her friendship and company and finding their kind actions warmed her heart. Tohru might have taken a sudden dislike to her but she seemed to have a good heart for everyone else, so she gave them both a very affectionate smile.
