Author's Note:

The idea for this 1896 fanfic is based on Nami Middle's New Addition by the author Waloli-san. (Sorry, I don't know how to link on this site.)

I'll do everything in my power to not rip-off that story, but inevitably, there will be some similarities. While this is my own story, the original idea is all Waloli-san.

With that out of the way, I hope for this fanfic to be successful and interesting.

Anyone reading this: Constructive criticism is welcome. Ideas are welcome.

Thank you. Enjoy!

"Hmph."

Sitting back in his chair, Hibari gazed about him...Sitting in the Disciplinary Committee's office made him feel...Content, as it were. Every great beast has its den - This room was the den of Kyoya Hibari. Namimori Middle School's hammer of order. However, Hibari could tell that he had company...Over at the door, he could see the shadows of two feet through the space between the door. He tried to ignore them, but had no such luck.

Taking a closer look, Hibari noted the small size, and rather dainty looking shape...Likely a female. He also observed that they were shifting around quite a bit - Likely an uncomfortable owner. Hibari closed his eyes, sighing quietly...I don't want this inquisitive creature in the hall all day...She could cause a disruption. Opening his eyes - Though they still remained quite narrow - Hibari spoke up so that he could be heard.

"You may enter." The apparent girl outside seemed to jump, and it sounded like she bumped against the door - The Head of the Disciplinary Committee gave a sigh, as Hibird fluttered to land atop of the lamp sitting on his master's desk. Finally, the door to the office was opened, and the girl stepped inside cautiously. Eyes narrowing further, Hibari breathed out dangerously, "What do you want here?"

Flinching, Chrome folded her hands in front of herself...Bowing, she said, "I apologize, Cloud Person. I...I was instructed to enroll here for...A short time." The eyepatch-wearing girl kept her head down. Looking her up and down, Hibari could see the validity in Chrome's statement - Though he hadn't noticed it at first, she was, indeed, wearing a Namimori uniform. Inwardly fuming a bit, Hibari decided not to hold in his opinions on this new addition to his beloved school.

He said coldly, "Listen and listen closely, Mist Puppet." His eyes narrowed slightly at her flinch. "I do not approve in the least of your supposed enrollment in Namimori Middle School." Standing, Hibari walked around to the front of his desk...His teeth set themselves unconsciously; Chrome quite visibly cowered under his irate gaze. This made him feel somewhat...Uneasy.

"I will not allow the ilk," - He said that word with heavy venom - "Of that illusion-raising bastard to disturb my school. What is there to have stopped you from stealing a uniform from some poor, unsuspecting student of my school?" Hibari's teeth almost began to grit themselves as Chrome shivered visibly beneath his anger. "You are as presumptuous as you are spineless and weak if you believe for a moment that - " He froze as he heard a sound...It was the Namimori Middle School Anthem, emanating from the left drawer of his desk.

Glaring at Chrome, Hibari walked back around his desk. Opening the drawer, he swiftly took out his cellphone and raised it to his ear - "Who is it, and what do you want? You should know better than to pester the Head of Namimori Middle's Disciplinary Committee at this time." He glanced back at Chrome; her head was still bowed, although her shivering had almost stopped...Hibari's irritation rose again at the voice on the other end of the line.

Ciaossu, Kyoya-san.

"...Reborn. What do you want now of all times, infant?"

I just wanted to make sure that Namimori's latest student got a warm welcome.

"..." Hibari glanced at Chrome. "...So, this is your contrived arrangement."

Yup. I just thought it would be best to get you all as close together as possible.

"And what, praytell, put that idea in your soft head...?" His irritation was swiftly rising.

Well, six of the seven Vongola Guardians were already gathered so closely...

"Yes, perhaps so."

...But Dokuro-san was left completely out of the loop, being far away as she was.

"I don't see why the Puppet's distance from the Vongola Famiglia is a problem." Hibari looked away from Chrome after saying that - Though, he had no idea as to why.

I'll ask that you not be difficult about this; I get a feeling you're not looking at things with reason.

"That's my line, toddler." His tone became a bit more venomous.

Anywho, it's not like it'll be permanent. She's only staying there for two weeks or so.

"...Is that just some half-truth, half-lie intended to appease me?"

Exactly so, Kyoya-san. If you really must know, if things work out for everyone after two weeks, Dokuro-san'll be there for the rest of the year; maybe more. You just need to watch out for her for these two weeks: Show her around, teach her to truly love Namimori.

"... ... ..."

Problem, Kyoya-san? If you're not up to it, I can easily -

"Very well. The girl shall be babysat per your request, infant. However, any attempts to disrupt Namimori's peace from the Mist Puppet or that man," he said, the ire in his voice immensely caustic, "Shall be met with swift retribution." Without giving enough time for a reply, Hibari ended the call by snapping his phone shut, placing it on his desk.

Turning, he walked past Chrome - Eyes narrowing as he saw, out of his peripheral, the girl shrink away from him in fear. Hibari said coldly, "Follow me, Mist Puppet. It seems you will be allowed a short time at Namimori after all." He headed for the door without even checking to see if Chrome followed.

"...Yes, Cloud Person," she said quietly. Chrome followed Hibari out of the room, head bowed as she kept pace with him. The Disciplinary Committee office grew quiet...

...Until Hibird gave a chirp.
