Hello everyone, I hope you like this story. It's something that's been on my mind for a loooonnggg time, and it's driving me crazy so since I had time to write it, here it is. And just so you guys know it isn't a slash fanfic but it is filled with family and friendship fluff.
Enjoy.
Disclaimer: I own nothing except for Takahashi Kichi, her made up friends and family.
Normal P.O.V:
A tall, beautiful, young girl walked down the streets of Florence, Italy. As she walked by she was oblivious to all the heads she turned as she made her way down the long sidewalk. This girls name is Takahashi Kichi and she's 16 years old, with long caramel colored hair that goes to her mid back, and gorgeous green emerald eyes that would put the stone itself to shame.
Kichi was half Japanese and half Italian. Her mother was Japanese and met her father back in Japan when he was on vacation there. Julio Vertolli, Kichi's father was a doctor and Takahashi Ai was her mother who was a Kung Fu master and instructor. They have moved here a year ago when her father got a job offer that was too good to pass up.
Anyways Kichi was just touring around the city with no destination in mind as she already done the favor her mother ask her to do, it was the beginning of summer, both her parents were working, her friends had plans or she already hang out with most of them this week, and had plans to do so again tomorrow. Those were the reasons she had neither destination nor plans in mind right now.
Kichi stopped by a clothing store window which displayed mannequins with the new outfits for the summer season. She was staring at the outfits when she felt some teenagers run passed her. She turned around and saw what looked like a bunch of beat up 15 or so year olds, running desperately as if the devil himself was chasing them.
In fact what they were doing couldn't even be considered as running; it was more like jogging slowly, while limping, trying to run but obviously not succeeding.
She just stood there staring confusedly at them until they took a corner and disappeared out of sight. Kichi wondered what or who on earth can beat someone up so much to leave them in such state in which they can't barely walk correctly, but have so much fear that they physically push themselves to their limit to try to get away.
Kichi kept walking towards the direction she was earlier before she saw the teenagers which coincidently was the same direction those guys came from, but Kichi wasn't scared. She was a brave, independent, young girl and she wasn't going to bother going the other direction just because of what she saw. Besides it wasn't as if she was looking for trouble or anything. She's actually a very kind, collected, calm person who doesn't like fights or arguments. And she can get very lazy at times and the direction she was going had a short cut that will come up in a 10 minute walk that can cut the time to get to her house in half.
She was deep in thought when she started to get close to a corner that she was going to take that leads up to the next street when she heard the voices.
"Herbivore, for disruption of peace I will bite you to death." Said a monotonous but childlike voice.
'Huh?' Was all that Kichi thought as she heard the unknown person say such a strange sentence .She rounded the corner and looked up ahead. The sight that greeted her was weird to say the least.
Standing there was a boy around 8 years of age with raven hair, piercing grey eyes, wearing a white button up shirt, black dress pants and black expensive looking dress shoes as well. But what was actually surprising was the scowl invaded in his little face.
Oh and the fact that he was holding up two metal tonfas in an offensive position at an older boy who looked like he was about to shit he's pants.
The scared 9 year old (at most) was holding a cell phone that was playing a song at its maximum capacity; a song that was made by the very popular band called the Arcobalenos.
A band which Kichi loved.
The raven haired boy attacked the other, but before his tonfas could make contact with the other boys face and do some serious damage, it was stopped when Kichi jumped in and stopped them with her hands.
The raven boy glared at her fiercely, but Kichi didn't back down or let go.
"What do you think you're doing, herbivore? For meddling in to others business I will bite you to death." Said the boy (after getting over his shock of someone, other than his father, being able to stop him with their hands so easily) who now looked extremely irritated. The boy then pushed on with his tonfas.
Kichi was actually surprised at the strength the boy presented when she grabbed the tonfas but now she was actually shocked that he still had even more strength as he pushed her.
"Wow, calmed down. You don't have to beat him his just listening to some music in public. That's nothing punishment worthy." Kichi said trying to defend the boy behind her that was grateful for her help, but was even more scared out of his mind when he saw the others aura darkening.
"That herbivore was disrupting peace by playing that sound so loudly and annoying others with it. He deserves to be punished as do you." Was all the other said before he pulled away the weapons from Kichi's hands and attacked again.
She barely had enough time to pull out her own Bo staff and get in to a defensive position to block the boys fierce attacks.
The kid was ruthless, and Kichi was getting fed up so she decided to switch from defensive to offensive. She started counterattacking, but not with all her strength because she didn't want to injure the other even though the boy looked like he would enjoy injuring her.
To the ravens surprise she push him back. They separated and Kichi took a step back, still blocking the kid that the raven was threatening before.
Hibari was even more shocked that she defended and attacked him the way he did. What's more she didn't even look tired or was out of breath even though they were both using a considerable amount of strength for a few minutes.
"What you're doing is wrong. You shouldn't punish others for enjoying music out loud. I heard the song and it wasn't even that loud, and even if it had been its no excuse to send him to a hospital." She lectured him.
Hibari was speechless at her words but then he got angry at her words. She was telling him what he can and can't do, and she's criticizing the way he runs his city.
His glare intensified if possible.
"You dare tell me what I'm allowed to do and how to run my city, herbivore?" He made it a question but it sounded more like he was trying to confirm what he thought she said.
"What? No, I didn't mean it that way. And your city? Since when are eight year olds owners of cities? You are eight, right?" She asked.
"That's none of your concern." He snarled.
"Alright, calm down. I was just curious and I wasn't trying to boss you around. I was just doing what I thought was the right thing, which is defending an innocent, defenseless kid from another short-tempered kid." She said truthfully.
This seemed to aggravate the other.
"Now your insulting me, herbivore?" He stated more than asked.
"No, I'm simply being honest. And by the way you're being totally unfair to him. And another thing, what's with the 'herbivore' titles?" She added as she pointed to the kid that was about to faint behind her.
"I'm not being unfair. He was disrupting peace and for such herbivore acts he deserves a beating. And I call you what you are. An herbivore, a weak, plant eating creature." He said simply, as if that was such a normal thing to say.
"Oh yeah, and what does that make you?" Kichi asked in reply.
"I'm a carnivore. A strong, meat eater. And this conversation is over." He stated as he pounced again.
"Kid, you better get out of here." Kichi said to the other behind her as she watched the other run at her.
The kid nodded, said thank you for saving him and left running in pure fear.
The two fought for a few more minutes, neither backing down.
But Kichi was getting tired of this merry go round and knew this would go on forever if she didn't stop him, give up or beat him. She went with the first option since she didn't like fighting or hurting people especially if there kids even though this particular kid had the strength of a freaking grown man how lifts weights every day.
It was just fucking ridiculous.
Anyways, she decided to end this now. Kichi blocked another assault, and with her bo staff she pushed his tonfas upwards hard. While his arms where going up she used her right hand to catch his right wrist, and turned him around to bend his arm backwards. This angered the raven hair boy even more and he started to struggle to get free so she tightened her grip.
The boy reached back with his left arm, and tried to hit her leg hard enough so she would let go but she blocked it with her bo staff that she held now in her left hand.
"Calm down and I'll release you. I don't want to fight." She stated calmly.
"Too bad because I do. And if you didn't want to fight then why are you here doing precisely that?" He spit back.
"You already know why. I was defending that kid. Now calm down." She replied.
"Don't tell me what to do, herbivore." He said. He kept struggling to get away so he could keep fighting.
The truth is that Kichi has peaked the boys interest and he wanted to keep fighting, and beat her but he also wanted to see what kind of power she possessed because he can sense that she's holding back. And he can tell she was no ordinary herbivore.
She was strong and more than that she was brave to stand up to him. And this boy has faced many strong opponents (and beaten them to a bloody pulp) who were also brave, but she was different. She was acting brave and going against him for another person that she didn't even know. The raven had never been in a situation like that before when it involved him and it intrigued him. She intrigued him.
Kichi saw this going nowhere so she decided to try another tactic.
"Is it worth it to fight someone who isn't going to fight back when they can? Because I already told you I only did it to protect the kid but since he's gone now I have no reason to, and what's more I'm not going to. And you can attack me all you want but that just leaves you with an unsatisfactory fight and not to mention a bad reputation." She said.
'A worse reputation that is.' She added in her head. If he was always like this, and she had a feeling he was, then he already has a bad reputation.
He froze at her words. The raven boy didn't move and Kichi knew it was because of the fighting part not the reputation part because he didn't seem like the type to care for such things.
She let him go and the boy relaxed his body and turned to face her. His irritated look was replaced with an emotionless expression now .He put away his tonfas and Kichi followed suit with her bo staff knowing she wouldn't need it anymore.
"Herbivore, what's your name?" He demanded while squinting his eyes.
Kichi didn't see the harm in telling her name to an eight year old even though he wasn't normal but still, what can he possibly do?
"Takahashi Kichi. What's your name?"
'Takahashi Kichi, I'll remember that.' The boy tried the name in his head.
He then thought if he should give his name to this Takahashi person.
"Hibari Kyoya." He answered after thinking about it.
"Hibari Kyoya. That's a nice name." Kichi replied now smiling at him.
The boy, now known as Hibari, couldn't help but think that of what a strange herbivore this was. Kind but good fighter, strong but choses to help that pathetically weak herbivore and she acts like a regular herbivore as well.
Hibari just stared at her.
He then made a decision.
"Follow me, Takahashi Kichi." He ordered, and then turned around and started walking away.
"What? Where are we going?" She asked.
"Just be quiet and follow me." He replied in a monotonous tone an eight year old shouldn't be using.
"Hm, ok." Kichi replied unsurely. She then followed him.
They walked for ten minutes in total silence. There was only theirs and other people's foot step and the occasional cars passing by as sounds apart from the small chatter of the people passing the duo.
"Hibari-san, would you mind telling me where we are going?" She asked.
"You'll see when we get there." Was all Hibari said.
They kept on walking for another two minutes before Hibari entered a huge building made out glassed windows and at the top it said in big letters Vongola Records.
'Vongola Records why would Hibari take me to Italy's number one record label company?' Kichi wondered as they stepped inside, walked through the grand lobby that belong in a five star hotel and into an elevator.
It was true that Vongola Records was the number one record label company in Italy and it was growing in different countries in Europe as well. They were actually Arcobaleno's record company and that band was internationally popular. They had huge tours all around the globe since they all know a lot of languages. And they also have signed to them The Varia, another famous band. But this one wasn't world known nor was it very popular anymore because the band mates have and attitude and anger problem. And not to mention there tendency to break things… and peoples arms.
Kichi and Hibari arrived at the floor Hibari chose which was the 13th and made their way through the hall which was filled with offices and people walking around and working.
Every time someone saw Hibari coming in their direction they would hastily scurried out of his way.
"Um, Hibari why you bring me here?" Kichi asked not being able to hold in the question any longer as well as the curiosity.
But unfortunately for her Hibari was a boy of few words, and he talked a lot (for him anyways) earlier so he didn't answer her question.
Kichi just sighed and kept on following him while trying to ignore the looks she was receiving by walking near Hibari.
The pair neared what looked to be a big conference room in which he didn't knock and just left himself in so Kichi guessed he wanted her to follow because if he didn't he would have said so.
Inside there was seven very handsome, grown men which all looked up at their entrance.
"Kyoya, you came back early. Who's this?" Asked the blond at the head of the table, while he turned to Kichi. Kichi took his silence as her signal to introduce herself.
To her this man looked familiar, but she couldn't quite place him.
"I'm Takahashi Kichi. Sorry for the interruption." She said as she bowed low and apologized for their unprecedented entry.
"I brought her here to fill the role of babysitter for the other herbivores since you're currently looking for people to fill the vacant position. She has all the necessary requirements and she should be the one in the position." Hibari said with finality in his voice.
'Say what?' Kichi yelled in her head as she turned to look at Hibari in shock.
And she wasn't the only one. Everyone froze in shock at his words.
The room went completely silent.
To be continued…
There, the first chapter. Well I hoped you liked it.
One question, can anyone tell me Alaude's catchphrase? I know it's similar to Hibari's but I can't remember how it is. If you could tell me I would appreciate it immensely and I'm sorry if there were any typos in the story.
Please review.
Until next time,
Girl in Blue
