Hi everyone! So this story is mainly Hibari's POV, but it will contain other's on occasion. I kinda based this off of a really good story I had read a long time ago, but the publisher never updated again. That was about two or three years ago now. Either way, it gave me good ideas of my own so I decided to make this story because I truly do enjoy writing. So when I'm not updating my other story I'll be sure to update this one. Please enjoy, review, and all that other good stuff~ :)
P.S: I also meant to say a while back that it's alright by me if you want to private message me. In fact, I think I'd really enjoy whatever conversation we have! So don't be shy, and you can be as random as you want! So please feel free to do that whenever, haha.
-Butterfly Daydreams
~Chapter 1~
Hibari knew something was off when he had woken up this morning. He couldn't quite tell what it was, but just knew. It was never often that he has ever really felt that way when waking up in the morning. Fact of the matter was that he never actually let himself fall into the thinking of strange feelings, or vibes. He simply didn't care for those kinds of things. He lived in Namimori, and it was his, so he shall protect it. Pure and simple right? Wrong.
On this particularly cold fall morning, he found that following what your gut tells you to be pretty essential. When he had gone to take a shower, after undressing himself, he took a look at himself in the mirror. And boy was he in for a surprise. He had even splashed water on his face and pinched himself a few times to make sure what he was seeing was real. Overnight he developed a pair of fuzzy feline ears, and a tail. A tail! What in the hell was a tail going to do for him, let alone cat ears? And how would these new additions affect his daily life for that matter? Well he was about to find out with the very first thing he did; shower.
At first when he stepped into the running warm water Hibari relaxed, and relished the feeling of its warmth traveling down his tense body. Frankly, anyone would become stressed when finding feline attributes to what had once been a regular body just like everyone else's'. But when he dipped his head underneath the shower head, he found that it had a pretty harsh consequence. His 'ears' were sensitive. So sensitive to the point that when each water drop hit them, he heard each sound they all made when they landed. Needless to say it sounded like each sound ricocheted themselves around his head, causing what had originally had been a minor headache to turn into an extremely major headache. Wincing with each pound on the inside of his head, Hibari quickly turned off the water and wrapped a towel around his body.
Never in his life did he ever think that he was going to have a problem wrapping a towel around himself. He couldn't even wrap it so that he could make it comfortably tight around himself either. His newly grown 'tail' was in the way. And let's not forget just how sensitive it was either. When Hibari had first tried wrapping the towel around himself, he tried tightening it to the usual tight that he preferred. When doing that, it actually made his tail sit at an awkward angle against his back, and eventually it quivered in pain. When this happened Hibari felt a jolt of pain shoot right up his spine. It had hurt so much that it actually made him black out for at least a whole minute. Needless to say Hibari was irritated. He didn't need these extra appendages, nor did he need anybody to notice them. But how was he going to get rid of them if his actual ears were gone, and his new parts were extremely sensitive? He needed someone's help, but just whose exactly? This was obviously going to be a long day.
Putting on his uniform had once been his most favorite part of the day, aside from putting herbivores back in their place. Keyword had. Putting on both his pants and button down was difficult beyond belief. The tail was in the way! And he didn't quite know how to move it around just yet. After studying it in the mirror for at least a half hour Hibari realized that it moved mainly to his emotions, at least for now. He'd get the hang of it, but he needed it to cooperate now. He had to patrol pretty soon, and he didn't want to run late because of an annoyance. He still had a job to do as the Prefect of Namimori, and he wasn't going to let trivial things get in the way of that. Okay, growing ears and a tail wasn't exactly trivial, but it was still annoying to say the least. He figured that the best way to set the tail correctly would to be if he moved it with just his hands for now. Pulling up his pants, he pulled his tail upwards as gently as possible, and then buttoned his pants to make it so that his tail couldn't push them down again. Then he wrapped it around his torso so that he could put his button down on with no problem, and began to button it down. When he went to look in the mirror to see if he looked ridiculous or not, he noticed a slight bump in the back of his shirt, but it wasn't anything major unless someone were to really look at it long and hard enough. But he was Hibari Kyoya, so that wasn't going to happen. People were scared of him! On top of that, his Gakuran would hide it completely since he didn't wear it through its sleeves.
Now for the last and most difficult part, the ears. They moved with every sound they heard! And the only time he saw them lay flat was when he was actually getting annoyed by them. Did he have to always feel annoyed to hide them? Even though he got angry often, he wasn't the type to be constantly annoyed. He was just a really aloof guy, and that was the extent of it. So while Hibari was pondering as what he should do with the ears, they were sitting straight a tall, as though there wasn't a care in the world. Wait! He had an idea now. He'd look slightly ridiculous, but, as long as it kept the public from seeing his ears, it was alright.
"Hibird!"
Yup, Hibird. He was the best thing that Hibari could possibly think of! And it's not as though he's never been seen with the yellow fluff ball before. Chirping its'normal 'Hibari! Hibari!' chant, Hibird flapped it's tiny little wings until it reached Hibari's index finger facing him directly.
"Hibird, you are to sit on the top of my head until I tell when you're allowed to fly off, understood?"
Preening itself lightly, the bird shook itself and then flapped upwards. Pressing his ears down for Hibird to sit on them, Hibari winced slightly when he felt Hibird's tiny little talons press into his left ear as he settled in. Preparing himself for the long day, Hibari slipped his shoes on, and began his patrol. 'How exactly am I going to fix this, and with that said, who can help me? I'd better think of a way to repay my debt to whoever this person may be too. Suddenly he heard a rustle in the trees above him. He knew there was someone there, but couldn't see who or what it was through the foliage.
"Perhaps I could be of service, due to the fact that we're having the same issue at our home. And if you're wondering what I'm talking about, I'm talking about your new pair of ears and tail. Meet me at the schools' entrance at six, unless you really don't want the help."
And with that, the person was gone. Well then. That was unexpected. Let's just see exactly who this person is and how much they know, shall we..?
