Disclaimer : I would like to kindly remind you that I do not own Katekyo Hitman Reborn, nor its characters. I also don't own Jigoku Shoujo, nor its plot. I'm not taking any JS character though I guess, well for the moment, and the original plot will only serve as inspiration and not as the main plot of my fic so yeah. Please kindly don't sue :3 .
Warning : The story contains Yaoi, which means love between two males. So don't be too shocked by it. Maybe not right now but it will come later. Oh and there will also be slight violence & horror throughout the story, so don't blame me for eventual nightmares lmao.
And ugh, I'm not good at writing summaries. So I hope it didn't suck too much and that this chapter won't be as bad as my summary :/
It was one of those school days in Namimori middle school. The sun was shining, the sky was blue, and students were standing here and there, ''crowding'' with their friends for lunch. Anybody would say that it's a normal school day, except that besides the usual setting the students are in at that moment, a strange rumor spread as fast as the speed of light was setting a tensed atmosphere among the students of Namimori-chuu.
A group of three first-years girls were standing in front of a classroom.
"Nee, Yuki-chan, have you heard about that strange rumor?"
"Ettooo… Is that about all of those missing people lately, Misa-chan?"
"Yeah! I heard that it has something to do with a guardian or something like that, but I don't know what it is exactly about … Do you know something, Miho-chan?"
"Well, Izumi-chan told me the story during history class a hour ago but I don't know if it's true or not … It's something about the hell guardian, if you go on that website at twelve at midnight and that you type the name of someone you hate, the hell guardian is going to send that person to hell…"
"Pfft, Miho-chan do you really expect me to believe that?"
"Yuki-chan! It's not funny! Honestly it's quite scary brrr…"
"Herbivores, crowding is not allowed." A deep, male, cold voice interrupted them from their ''crowding session'', which sent shivers down the girls' spine.
"Hi-Hibari-sempai we-we are sorry!" said one of the girls, in panick, before bowing and running away down the corridor, followed by the two other girls.
"Brr, Hibari-sempai is so scary, I wonder how come no one has ever tried to send him to hell…"
"Misa-chan!"
At the other end of the corridor, a raven haired prefect sighed and continued his 'patrol'.
"Hell guardian huh? Tch, herbivores."
Meanwhile on the roof of the school building, a group of second and third years students were sitting, having their lunch happily. However, it seems that the rumor is also part of their discussion.
"Oi, Tsuna, have you heard about that rumor?"
"Wh-Which rumor, Yamamoto?"
"Anoo, if I remember, it's something about the hell guardian …"
"Hiiiieeee! H-H-Hell gu-guardian?!" Tsuna's eyes widened and dropped his chopsticks from his trembling hands as he heard the word ''hell''.
"Oi baseball idiot! Don't scare Jyudaime like that!"
"Ahaha, maa, maa, Gokudera-kun, I was just telling!"
"Hell guardian?! EXTREME!"
"Oi turf top! Stop shouting !"
"What did you say Tako-head?!"
"G-Guys d-don't fight …"
"You are way too noisy, herbivores." The same cold and deep voice that interrupted the three girls a few minutes ago popped out of nowhere, again, making the boys turn their heads towards the 'source' of the voice.
"Hiiiieee! Hi-Hibari-san we-we-we are s-s-sorry!" said Tsuna, trembling, sweat obviously starting to appear on the brunette's forehead.
"Yo, Hibari! That was an extreme way to appear!"
"Yo, Hibari-san!"
"Tch, bastard."
Unlike the three girls before, the boys didn't run away. Indeed, the simple reason was that they were Hibari's 'friends'. Well, not friends, because it wouldn't suit with Hibari at all, but Hibari seems to tolerate their presence around him as long as they don't bother him.
Yamamoto, Gokudera and Tsuna have always been friends since they were in kindergarten. Yamamoto's dad runs the best sushi restaurant in town, and the three boys have that habit to come at least once a week at Yamamoto's to taste the delicious taste of Tsuyoshi's sushis. Gokudera is an Italian transfer student, he moved to Japan when he was three years old. He lives with his older sister Bianchi and her boyfriend Reborn. Gokudera absolutely admired Reborn, but he's got other and unusual manners to show his love to his older sister. Even though he seems to hate her, everybody knows that deep inside of him, he loves Bianchi. Gokudera has always been that type of rebellious child, but Tsuna managed to gain his trust and Yamamoto somehow also managed to approach the Italian along with Tsuna. Gokudera calls Tsuna 'Tenth' because when they were still in kindergarten, Gokudera was about to fall from a tree, but Tsuna saved him. Kind of. Because actually, Tsuna was just passing by when Gokudera fell from the tree, and the silver haired boy landed on the brunette, which saved the Italian from breaking bones. And it was the tenth time that Gokudera saw Tsuna that day so he decided to call him 'tenth' from that day, and promised to protect and serve his beloved tenth until death. Even though Tsuna thinks that it's an odd way to start a friendship, he doesn't really care anymore since they are now childhood best friends – with Yamamoto as well, of course.
And somehow, they have become friends with Ryohei Sasagawa, but they all forgot how. It has something to do with Ryohei wanting them to extremely join the boxing club, and then they became friends. But it was a couple of years back then so it doesn't really matter anymore as long as they were friends.
Hibari's case was actually the oddest one. Hibari has always been the incredible one, except when he got attacked for the first time by a student from Kokuyo, the town next to Namimori. This student was Rokudo Mukuro, and they were both seven years old when it happened. Hibari has just gotten his tonfas for his seventh birthday from his older brother Fon, and he was 'playing' with them in the park, trying to master those fascinating weapons. Unfortunately, they were still too big and heavy for a seven years old boy, even for Hibari Kyoya. Unfortunately, while swinging his heavy tonfas, Hibari accidently tripped and landed on Nagi, a six years old girl who was playing in the park. Even though Nagi said that it was okay, her older brother, Mukuro, didn't really appreciate that and started to attack the raven haired boy with a trident. But suddenly, when Mukuro was about to hit Hibari, a short brunette six years old boy appeared from nowhere and ... hugged Hibari in front of the indigo haired boy, which made the said boy freeze on the spot.
Flash back :
Hibari was now laying on the ground, cursing everything. Cursing the fact that his tonfas were too heavy. Cursing his weak seven years old omnivorous body. Cursing that stupid herbivore girl to be hit by him. Cursing this herbivore pineapple head who was about to hit him … Yes, hit him. The indigo haired boy was standing in front of the raven haired boy, his trident ready to hit the boy laying on the ground.
"Kufufufu, I will never forgive you for hitting my precious Nagi. Now you'll feel real pain."
And everything went extremely fast. Hibari, with his eyes shut, waiting for the blow to come, slowly opened them as he realized that the blow never came, but instead of it, something warm was softly wrapping him. Wait, what? The first thing Hibari saw as he opened his eyes was a mop of brown, silky hair, but he couldn't see the mysterious brunette's face, since it was burried in his shoulder. But he was sure of one thing : the little body was trembling.
"P-Pl-Plea-Please d-don't h-hurt H-H-Hib-b-ari-s-san…"
"Oya oya? Who is that cute little bunny we've got here?"
"P-P-Please don't hu-hurt Hibari-san I-"
"Kufufu, do you know that you are really cute ? What's your name, little bunny?"
"T-T-Tsuna …"
"Herbivore, get off me, I didn't need your help."
"B-But Hibari-san was about to be hurt and …!"
"Jyuudaime!"
"Tsuna!"
"G-Gokudera-kun! Yamamoto-kun!" Tsuna's face brightened a little and his body trembled less as he saw his two friends running towards the trio.
"Jyuudaime! We were worried about you! We were just talking and you suddenly disappeared, I am so sorry to not be able to look after you ! You don't deserve a useless right hand man like me !" Gokudera bowed several times in front of Tsuna before actually noticing the presence of the two other boys. "You bastards! What did you do to Jyuudaime?!" Gokudera raised his fits towards the two older boys while yelling, only to earn a shrug from Hibari.
"Gokudera-kun I-Hibari-san didn't do anything to me, i-i-it's just me when we were walking I saw that he was being attacked and-and- I didn't want Hibari-san to be hurt and-and …"
"Kufufufu, you are all interesting persons. I will see you someday again, kufufu." Said Mukuro, interrupting the younger ones before a mysterious mist appeared from the middle of nowhere and wrapped around Mukuro and his sister, making both of them disappear in a couple of seconds mysteriously.
Tsuna sighed at this, relieved that the 'main issue' was gone. Now, he had to stop the one-sided argument that Hibari and Gokudera were having: Gokudera yelling at Hibari and Hibari only responding with shrugs now and then, with a bored look on his face. Besides, Yamamoto was just standing besides the silver-haired boy, trying to calm him down with innocent laughter.
"Go-Gokudera-kun! I- Like I said, Hibari-san didn't do anything bad to me, I was just the one who came towards him and …"
"Herbivore, I hate having something to owe to anyone. Consider yourself as lucky." And Hibari disappeared in a blink behind the bushes. This left the trio speechless, with a dumb look on their face. Gokudera was the first one to interrupt that moment though.
"This Bastard! How dare he insult Jyuudaime like that?!"
"Go-Gokudera-kun it's okay… let's go …"
And the days after that, at the primary school, Hibari was strangely 'following' them, well not really because he refused to crowd with them in a radius of at least 1,5 meters, but he seemed to tolerate their presence around him and seemed to 'bite' them to death less than the other normal herbivores. The boys grew up together until the present day as best friends, each attracting the other ones in their own way. Later, Tsuna understood how Hibari 'functions' and understood that what he said when they were younger in the park actually meant 'thank you' and wasn't meant as being an insult towards the brunette.
End of flashback
"Oi, Hibari! Have you heard about that extreme rumor too ?!" Hibari only shrugged.
"Well I guess everybody knows about that rumor now! It's so scary, brr!"
"Except me, Yamamoto-kun!" shouted Tsuna, with a slight blush on his face, his eyes shut due to the embarrassment. Everybody laughed at Tsuna's reactions, well, except Hibari though who only 'hm'-ed at the scenery.
"Hahaha, sorry Tsuna!"
"Jyuudaime ! Let me explain it to you!"
"Herbivores …"
"Extreme, Sawada! I don't know about it either!"
"See, Yamamoto-kun! Onii-san doesn't know about it either!"
"Hahahaha, I said sorry Tsuna! Let me explain it to you …" laughed Yamamoto, rubbing the back of his head.
"Yagyuu-baka! I said that I was the one to tell the story to Jyuudaime!"
"Herbivores …"
"Maa maa, Gokudera! I was the one who mentioned the topic, so I can be the one to tell the story~"
As their one-sided argument continued, with Ryohei shouting 'extreme' now and then in the middle of the argument, Tsuna felt the murderous aura that Hibari was actually releasing, probably due to the argument which is considered as more than annoying for the prefect. Tsuna 'HIEEEEEE'-ed at this to only catch the prefect's attention. Surprisingly, the said prefect grabbed Tsuna's forehand and dragged him out of the roof, leaving the three arguing all alone without really noticing the two teens going away from the roof.
Tsuna noticed as they walked through the corridors that Hibari was dragging him towards the reception room. Tsuna sighed as he mentally concluded that Hibari got pissed off of the loudness of the three other guardians, and deeply inside of him, Tsuna understood Hibari's reaction. As they have arrived in the reception room, Hibari loosened his grip on Tsuna and sat down behind his desk before ordering the younger one to sit on the couches in front of the prefect's desk. Tsuna obeyed and rushed towards the couch before sitting down, knee to knee, his fists forming a ball, resting on his knees. Tsuna titled his head towards the prefect as he heard the sound of scribbling, and saw the older teen doing paper work, with his usual bored look on his face, his chin resting on his left hand's palm and his left elbow resting on the desk. Quickly, an awkward silence was set in the room among the two and made quickly as well the brunette feel uncomfortable to the situation.
"A-Ano …"
"Have you ever wondered how hell looks like, Tsunayoshi ?"
"A-Ah ? I've never really thought about that but …" Why was Hibari asking him that question? It was such a surprising question, especially coming from Hibari.
"Do you really believe in those herbivorous sayings?"
"Well, honestly I don't know what's that saying is all about so…" said Tsuna, rubbing his head while smiling sheepishly to the older teen.
"Little one, if you have nightmares after that, don't blame me."
"I-I won't!" and to prove that, Tsuna gave Hibari one of those determined looks, eyebrows furrowing, just to show how much determination he has to hear the story. Hibari put his pen down and moved towards a counter against the wall, with a sink besides it.
"Do you believe in hell, Tsunayoshi?" Hibari opened the counter and scanned what was avalaible in front of him with the finest concentration.
"Well, I do …"
"It does exist…" While Hibari continued his own business, Tsuna titled his head to the side. This was the oddest thing the prefect has ever said to him, and this was definitely a conversation Tsuna would have never thought having with Hibari. With anyone. Is Hibari-san religious? Why does he say things odd like that? Tsuna's thoughts were immediately interrupted as he noticed a pale hand putting a cup of tea in front of him, on the table. Oh, that was what Hibari was doing. Tea. Tea means sitting down. Tea means relaxing. Tea means spending time together. Tea means … talking. Hibari-san is going to talk? Well obviously, the older teen can talk. He's not a one-year old anymore. But the point is, is Hibari really the one going to start a conversation? Well this was definitely odd, and Tsuna thinks that it'd be everybody's point of view if they were in the same situation as Tsuna is in at that moment.
Tsuna looked up to see the prefect sitting down on the couch in front of him before sipping some green tea in his own cup. Hibari was still wearing that flawless bored expression on his face.
A sigh slipped between the skylark's lips and Hibari put his cup of tea on the table. Tsuna gave Hibari one of those questioning looks with his wide caramel orbs, only to earn a glare from the older one, meaning that he won't answer to any questions. Too bad, Tsuna wanted to know more why Hibari suddenly talked about hell's existence. But he felt that it'd be pointless if he started to ask the prefect, he would never answer him. So the brunette just sighed back and leaned in the couch, admitting his 'defeat'.
"That herbivorous rumor …" Now that re-caught Tsuna's attention. "… states that there is a herbivorous website where herbivores can only access in midnight. And if a weak herbivore types the name of an other herbivore on the website, a herbivorous 'hell guardian' is going to appear in front of the weak herbivore." Tsuna gulped at this while Hibari took an other sip of his green tea. "… the herbivore hell guardian would give a sort of herbivorous doll made of straw with a red string around its neck to the weak herbivore, and if the said weak herbivore pulls the string from the doll's neck, the herbivore owner of the name the weak one typed on the website will be immediately sent by the hell guardian to hell." . Tsuna's jaw dropped at this statement.
"S-S-Sent t-to he-hell?" Tsuna laughed nervously, holding his cup with trembling hands, with a grimace on his face which obviously was amusing the prefect.
"Tsunayoshi, I told you that I don't want to be blamed by anyone if you get to have herbivorous nightmares tonight." Besides, how many times did Hibari-san mentioned the term 'herbivore' ?! Tsuna made a mental note to 'help' the older teen to expand his vocabulary, because it was a bit too awkward.
"B-B-But do-do you believe in th-that, Hibari-san?" Hibari only coolly shrugged at Tsuna's question and sipped some of his tea again, with his eyes shut, revealing Hibari's gorgeous traits that Tsuna has always admired. Hibari-san is way too cool, it should be illegal!
"Of course I don't, it's a herbivorous thing." Oh. "Now that you know about the rumor, what are you going to do, Sawada Tsunayoshi?" In Hibari's language, Tsuna already knows that this means that he's dismissed. Right, lunch time is almost over.
"I guess I will go back to class, Hibari-san, I will see you later."
"Dismissed." Tsuna slightly smiled and waved at the prefect before leaving the reception room, and Hibari only nodded in acknowledgement.
In the middle of an endless red lycoris field stood a traditional Japanese house. A sunset was decorating the red and orange sky, and a light wind made the atmosphere more soothing that it already was. At the edge of the wooden terrace, a man wearing a black yukata was sitting with crossed legs and crossed arms, contemplating the endless field that was surrounding the house.
A light breeze slipped through the man's hair, eventually carrying with the wind a red petal coming from one of the thousands of lycrois flowers. The man took the petal from his hair graciously with his long and pale finger and released it as an other breeze came, leading the petal flying towards the pond that was a few meters from the house.
However, footsteps could be heard, signaling the man that his moment of peace was going to be disturbed.
"Alaude-sama, you have a request." Said a voice, probably coming from the owner of the footsteps from earlier.
"Asari … I want tea ." replied an other voice, much deeper, much cooler, with a sharper tone.
"But …"
"I have a feeling that something bad is going to happen …" . At this, the previously sitted man graciously stood up and walked towards a closed rice papered sliding door before stopping and saying : "Go and prepare the usual, Asari. And please, I need some tea." And as the man said these words, he slided the door to the side and stepped in the house with slow, lazy steps. The other man only nodded in respect and replied "Yes, Alaude-sama." before going insde the house as well.
Summary : In Namimori Chuu, a strange rumor is being spread among the students, stating about a mysterious website that can only be accessed in midnight. If you type the name of someone in the website, the 'hell guardian' will send this person to hell. And it seems that even Tsuna, Yamamoto, Gokudera, Ryohei and Hibari seem to know about this. However, Tsuna just knew it a little bit later as Hibari explained to him about the story during lunch break.
If a person goes to that mysterious website that can only be accessed in midnight, the person can type the name of an other person in this website, and the hell guardian will immediately come to him to give him a straw doll with a red string attached to its neck. The owner of the straw doll can decide whenever he wants to to pull that string, and once the string is pulled, the owner of the name that has previously been typed on the website will be immediately sent to hell.
Besides, in some other unknown place, in the middle of an endless red lycoris field, we will learn about the existence of a certain 'Asari' and a certain 'Alaude-sama'. And apparently, the said Alaude-sama has got a request, according to what Asari told his 'master'.
A.N. : YAY! I've finally started it. So yeah, as some of you can probably notice, I'm inspiring a lot from the story of an other manga called 'Jigoku Shoujo', go read it, well I prefer the anime though, it's really good. However, in the real Jigoku Shoujo, it's not exactly a 'hell guardian' but more a female hell guardian as known as the 'hell girl', or jigoku shoujo in Japanese!
And yes, as some of you can notice, I also have an other fic going on, but I felt the urge of typing the beginning of this project. I think it's going to be a pretty big project since I have a whole plot in my head, in contrary to my other fic 'Aut Viam Inveniam Aut Faciam' where I just write down what I have in mind x) . But don't worry, I will finish the other fic, so yeah. And oh, I also have an 'ask' tumblr, please visit it if you have time : ask – tyl present 1827 . tumblr . com , just get rid of the spaces :D And I am a beginner in using photoshop so don't be shocked in the changes of drawing style that occur , I'm still experimenting T.T .
AND WHAT'S WITH HIBARI'S STRANGE BEHAVIOR ? Hibari is a religious ?! Lmao just imagine him with a bishop's costume. LMAO jk, no but you will discover why later throughout the following chapters. AND Who's Alaude (in this story -_-) ? Who's Asari? Where are they? What's up with Alaude's strange behavior? you will see in the following chapters HARHARHAR.
And for that thing with Hibari repeating 9328948902383x the word herbivore while telling Tsuna the story, I was just feeling like putting Hibari being 'oh-I'm-so-carnivorous-and-you-all-are-so-herbivorous-thus-you-suck' . Sorry if all of the herbivores confused you lol. And for the girls at the beginning of the story, they are invented. I won't make them appear anymore I guess, or maybe once or twice but really for an extremely minor role. So you don't really need to remember their names haha.
So yay, please R&R, I really want to know if I should continue this fic or not :) any review will be kindly accepted.
I would also like to kindly remind you that I do not own Katekyo Hitman Reborn, nor its characters. I also don't own Jigoku Shoujo, nor its plot. I'm not taking any JS character though I guess, well for the moment, and the original plot will only serve as inspiration and not as the main plot of my fic so yeah. Please kindly don't sue :3 .
Ciaossu~
NB : Lycoris is a type of flower, it does appear on the Jigoku Shoujo story. Look on google images to have a look, it's a beautiful flower.
And it won't be a cross over. As I stated before, I won't make any Jigoku Shoujo characters appear. I will just take the plot. So I won't list this fic as a cross over. Thank you.
