Author's note: Hi, everyone! This is the first JR fanfic I wrote, and I finally post it in English. If you can read Spanish you can find the "original" in my profile (although the original is this… but I posted the other one years ago lol). Anyways I hope you enjoy it and please review.

Big thanks to Contes De Fees who beta'ed this, thanks :)

Disclaimer: Nor JR or Hybrid Child belong to me… it's kinda obvious …

It was just another day in the life of Takahashi Misaki, an Economics student in Mitsuhashi University. The 18-year-old was returning home, following the same path of every day.
It was a Friday night and the teenager had turned down every invitation his friends had made to go to a pub or a karaoke.
His older brother, Takahiro, had just gotten married two weeks ago and he was getting used to live by himself. It was not that he hated it, but he had lived with his brother (the two of them) since the day their parents died in a car accident when he was just 8 years old… so yes maybe Misaki was feeling a little lonely… a little sad. The auburn haired boy shook his head the moment those thoughts invaded him.

"What am I thinking about?" He told himself. He was happy for his brother! If Takahiro was happy then he was happy too! "There's no reason to feel sad" He told himself. Anyway, it's not that I'm alone; my brother calls me anytime he can and even Manami calls once in a while. Besides, I have my friends and neighbors who are always nice to me.

"But your neighbors and your friends are not your brother…" Said a little voice inside his head. Misaki shook his head again.

"Just shut up!" The young man of green eyes shouted.

"Shut…up?" A childish voice asked

"Yes, shut…uh?" Misaki stopped and looked around. He saw a small child sitting down in the garbage. The child smiled at him.
Misaki thought of how cute that child was. He had short grey hair with rare but beautiful lilac eyes. His pale white skin only highlighted his fine features. The boy's smile was beautiful, but there was a hint of loneliness hidden behind it that made the teenager get worried.
Wait a minute!The boy was in the garbage!What was he doing there?

"Ermm…"Misaki couldn't find a way to start. The boy looked at Misaki with curiosity.

"What are you doing in the garbage? Where are your parents? Are you lost!" the teenager said all of that so quickly that the words almost got tangled.
The child laughed at that.

"Hey don't you laugh, I'm older than you!... I mean…"

"'They' left me here" The boy said simply; Misaki couldn't help but notice the sadness in those words. "Left you? 'They'? You mean your parents?" Misaki couldn't believe that was true. The grey haired boy shook his head.

"Who left you here?" Misaki asked again, this time calmer.

"'They'." Said the boy. They? Misaki was almost sure that that 'they' referred to the boy's parents, but that was… he just couldn't believe that.

"Hmm… aren't you cold here? It's always cold at night…" The boy said nothing. "I think you are hungry, don't you want to eat something?" Misaki offered. And after he eats I can take him to the police so they can find his parents, thought the young man.

"Do you want to go to my house and eat something?" He asked again. Misaki thought that maybe that had sounded like something a pervert would say to take the child home. But I'm not a pervert! I just don't want to leave this child alone in the street! he said to himself.

And that was how five minutes later Misaki walked home followed closely by the child of gray hair. It didn't pass long until the silence started bothering the oldest. Misaki started thinking that maybe the child was too shy for someone who was lost.
Perhaps he's shy, he told himself. And the moment that thought crossed the young man's mind, he could feel a warm hand touching his and holding it tightly… a warm and small hand. The child smiled at Misaki. Ok… perhaps he was wrong.

"Oh, right!" Misaki just realized that he didn't know the child's name. "What's your name?" He asked.

"Usagi," The child quickly.

Eh? Rabbit?

"So you like rabbits, that's good, but what's your name?"

"Usagi." The child said again.

Well, perhaps there was something weird with this child indeed.

"Oh, I see… well nice to meet you Usagi-chan, I'm Misaki." The teenager said.

"Misaki." said Usagi.

"Yes, Misaki." They both stopped when they reached at last Misaki's apartment.

"You can come inside" Misaki said to the child. After opening the door, Usagi let go of Misaki's hand and slowly entered the place.

"I think it would be better if you take a shower" Misaki suggested. The child refused. Perhaps he is scared. I think I sounded a little perverted again…

"I don't take shower's" Said the child.

Eh?

"It's alright, you don't have to do it if you don't want to."

I think I really scared the child, Misaki thought. "Hmm… let me cook you something to eat then." He said as he walked towards the kitchen. Little Usagi followed him.

"Err… Usagi-chan…" The child was hugging him tightly.

"Don't leave me" Usagi said. Misaki felt very sad for the child's words.

"I'm not going to leave you." He said as he tenderly ruffled Usagi's hair. Usagi smiled, then suddenly he lost consciousness and let go of Misaki.

'Usa… Usagi!' Misaki shouted and quickly caught the child between his arms preventing him to fall in the floor. The child didn't react. This is bad, what do I do? Misaki carried Usagi taking him to the living room and leaving him on the sofa. And now what do I do? I have to call a doctor… He was about to do it when he noticed something in little Usagi that he hadn't seen before. Ah? I think I'm hallucinating, he thought. He could almost swear he had seen a number on the child's neck. Jaja… that was impossible… But then he saw it again when he got closer to Usagi.
There was a number on his neck indeed. It was 0397. What? Misaki noticed that there were also very small words above it. What did they say? Misaki began reading them.
'Model number…' Eh? Model? 0397? What?
Wait a minute. This child has a number engraved on his neck. This is not normal!
'What' was Usagi?' And suddenly, understanding came to Misaki. The answer was so evident that he couldn't believe he hadn't thought about it.

A Hybrid Child.

Usagi-chan wasn't human… He was a Hybrid Child. One of those popular "dolls" that were on fashion those days among rich people. Misaki had seen them in some stores and TV. commercials and they were extremely expensive…

A Hybrid Child…

But why he hadn't thought of that? That could explain why the child didn't say anything about his parents and just called them "they".
Now Misaki understood. "They" must have been his old owners. And now "they" had abandoned him. Misaki felt very sad for Usagi-chan.

"Misaki" Usagi-chan called him when he finally opened his eyes.

"I'm here" The teen of green eyes said looking at the beautiful Hybrid Child.

Usagi-chan smiled at him and did something Misaki wouldn't have expected from a child. He slowly leaned over and as he got closer to him, he kissed him. Misaki broke the kiss as quickly as he could.

"What? Who…? Why did you do that?" He said, a blush adorning his cheeks.

"I like Misaki." Usagi-chan answered smiling at him.

"I also like Usagi-chan, but I don't go kissing everyone I like!"

Ahhhh... there were so many things I have to teach this child, Misaki thought, so many things…
And that was how Takahashi Misaki, an 18-year-old, decided to adopt the sweet and still innocent Usagi-chan, without imagining everything his decision was going to lead to in the future.

~~~~~~~~A couple of years later~~~~~~~

"I'm home!" Misaki announced as he opened the door and got inside the apartment. He heard the sound of some quick footsteps and it didn't take him long to see a not-so-small Usagi-chan approaching.

"Usagi-chan, tonight we are going to have dinner at home. So what would you like?"

"Misaki." Said the boy.

"Eh?" I don't think he understood me, "I meant to say, what do you want for dinner?"

"Misaki." The grey haired boy said again. "Usagi wants Misaki" And after that he hugged him tightly.

Takahashi Misaki still didn't realize everything the adoption of Usagi-chan would lead to.

Well... he would, sooner or later.
