When Venus Caught a Skylark


#01 - Air

Because a part of Minako has always been trapped. Sometimes by her destiny, sometimes by her leadership duties with the other senshi, and sometimes by the expectations from her mother. It takes a boy who loves his middle school and tonfas too much to help her breathe again.

#02 - Apples

Hibari develops a healthy dislike for apples when Minako beams him in the head with one during a particularly heated argument. He throws out all the apples in her apartment afterwards.

#03 - Beginning

It doesn't start until he watches Minako thrust her sword deep down a monster's throat with a brutality that is second nature to him. It is at that moment he realizes he wouldn't mind having this chaotic girl by his side.

#04 - Bugs

Hibari really doesn't understand how a group of girls who literally wield powers granted by crystals and planets scream and run away at the sight of a giant cockroach. He appreciates the moment when Ami, the only one not to react, disposes of the bug. He does not appreciate the way Minako refuses to crawl off him.

#05 - Coffee

He moves silently through the kitchen as he brews coffee. When she stumbles through the door, dead tired after a night of patrolling, he hands her a cup without a word.

#06 - Dark

Her ivory skin clashes against the pitch black of his hair as she runs her fingers through it. They're relaxing on the roof of his school as he rests his head in her lap during one of his daily naps.

#07 - Despair

He never thought he would feel such a deep emotion because of someone. The moment he feels true despair for the first time is when he is pressing his hand against the gaping wound on her stomach. She strains to keep her eyes open while he runs his voice hoarse with how many times he tells her that she's not allowed to die like a stupid herbivore.

#08 - Doors

Not many doors were open for Minako; her destiny was already set in stone. The door she least expected to be able to go through was the one of love, but then again, she never expected her lover to be permanently attached to his tonfas nor did she expect her competition to be a school.

#09 - Drink

When Minako reveals she and Hibari are sleeping together, he is splattered with coffee and water courtesy of Gokudera's and Tsuna's spit takes. Hibari promptly goes on a killing spree as Minako watches in amusement. The rest of their friends wisely stay quiet, though Yamamoto and Mukuro stuggle to stifle their laughter.

#10 - Duty

Minako always knew she would put duty over love and that she never could love anyone over her princess or her sisters. She just never knew how much it would hurt to turn her back on a too violent pretty boy she was never allowed to love in the first place.

#11 - Earth

Hibari never had any grandiose ideas of saving the Earth. The only reason he's smashing through a horde of weak monsters with the rest of the senshi is because the enemy kidnapped Venus and no one was allowed to touch his property.

#12 - End

It is when he realizes the end is drawing near that he wraps one arm around her shoulders and rests his chin on her head. She tentatively wraps her arms around his waist, realizing what he is trying to convey through a rarely given hug.

#13 - Fall

She feels her heart pounding loudly as he falls to the ground, his blood splattering around her, as he takes the blow meant for her. For the first time ever, she rams her sword through an enemy and feels no remorse for a kill.

#14 - Fire

Minako never really appreciated the brutal efficiency of Mars fire. However, as the purple flames weave around him, highlighting his good looks and the bloodthirsty grin on his face, she can't seem to tear her eyes away.

#15 - Flexible

He never really saw the need for flexibility, preferring brute strength. It is when Minako shows him the wonders of it behind closed doors that he begins to grow an appreciation for it.

#16 - Flying

He vows to never fly with her again after he almost destroys one of Sawada's private jets when she continuously acted like a spoiled five year old and annoyed him to no end. She can't wait to do it again.

#17 - Food

It's when she's taking cooking lessons from Makoto for Hibari just like Usagi did for Mamoru that she realizes there is maybe something more brewing between them.

#18 - Foot

They both discover his feet are ticklish on a quiet Saturday lounging together. She declares he is being a butt and reaches over to poke the nearest body part, only to be rewarded with the sight of the Kyoya Hibari flailing on the couch. It's one of the few secrets she'll take to the grave.

#19 - Grave

He watches silently as she cries tears over the grave of another innocent she was unable to save in time. He says nothing the whole time and she appreciates his silent companionship over any attempts at words.

#20 - Green

When she returns from a day of paintball with Yamamoto and Makoto, he makes a snide comment about herbivore activities. She merely laughs and dips her fingers in a splotch of green paint before wiping it on his face teasingly.

#21 - Head

He turns up by her bed where she lies injured with the head of the enemy who dared to hurt her princess. He makes an excuse about needing to find a good opponent, though she ends up teasing him about defending her honor anyway. He feels no regret in hitting her head with his tonfa to wipe the infuriating grin off her face.

#22 - Hollow

She begins to feel this way the closer they come to Crystal Tokyo. It's when he pushes her down onto the bed and bites his way down her neck with no restraint that the feeling begins to ebb away a little.

#23 - Honor

Because no matter what else she loses (her memories, her past lover, her life), she will always have her honor as a senshi. If Kunzite wasn't enough to give up her honor for, surely Hibari isn't either. That's what she tells herself those few nights she allows herself to cry.

#24 - Hope

Usagi was supposed to be a symbol of hope for all of mankind and her senshi would follow her to the ends of the Earth. But, through a few secrets revealed from Minako, even Hibari was able to realize the way the princess had inadvertently shackled her senshi.

#25 - Light

When Hibari first learned of the power of the senshi, Sailor Venus' was the one he thought the most stupid. However, as he watched Venus tear through an enemy with her harmless looking light and love powers, he realized she was more dangerous than she looked and that he couldn't wait to fight her.

#26 - Lost

She was able to drag him to the mall by saying she wanted to go the weapons shop he frequented. By the time he realized her ulterior motives, she had disappeared into the crowd. He stood there like some lost child, unsure of what to do and glaring at anyone who got too close. Five minutes later, she returned with five bags on each arm. He promptly tries to bite her to death.

#27 - Metal

Hibari was casually minding his own business before a very familiar chain wrapped around him. He turned his head, only to meet the predatory grin on Minako's face.

#28 - New

When Minako began strutting around him in her new dress, Hibari did not even glance up from his paperwork. His lack of attention was rewarded with a powered down Crescent Beam to the back of the head. They ended up demolishing a few rooms in their fight and her new dress was ruined.

#29 - Old

He initially dismissed her as a shallow and materialistic weakling. He never realized what an old soul she had. The first time he actually listened to her was when she turned weary and tired eyes on him and he realized he didn't really know her at all.

#30 - Peace

Before she meets him, she yearns for peace and a stop to all the fighting. Afterwards, she realizes she'll never have peace if she stays with him and that she's actually pretty ok with his chaotic life.

#31 - Poison

As the poison eats away at Rei's body and Ami frantically works over her, Minkao curls herself into his side instead of Makoto's. Despite every part of him screaming to push her away, he stiffly holds himself still as she trembles next to him.

#32 - Pretty

Most boys and girls admire her as she struts through the streets dressed in her finest with her golden hair flowing behind her. He finds her most beautiful when she's pounding someone's face in.

#33 - Rain

She drags him out into the middle of the storm because of some idiotic wish to make out in the rain. He promptly hits her in the head with a tonfa before stalking away to take a warm shower.

#34 - Regret

He doesn't have very many regrets in life, seeing as he mostly does whatever he wants. His biggest regret, however, is letting her be taken from him by something as flimsy and stupid as destiny.

#35 - Roses

She steals his wallet and buys herself some flowers. When he confronts her, she simply tells him she knows he'll never buy her roses, so she might as well buy herself flowers with his money and pretend it's from him. It only infuriates him more when she dodges his tonfa.

#36 - Secret

Because it's really no secret that they're the most sexually active couple. He takes to sex like he does to fighting and she's basically the Goddess of love.

#37 - Snakes

When she returns to their apartment with a snake wrapped around her shoulders and the brightest grin on her face, he promptly slams the door shut before he has to listen to some inane explanation.

#38 - Snow

She flails around like a hyped up child with too much candy before throwing herself onto the ground to make the perfect snow angel. He declares the whole thing is for herbivores. He stays with her anyway.

#39 - Solid

After living in an apartment together and finally sleeping in the same bed, Hibari has awoken a few times with Minako curled behind him and holding tightly onto him. When he questions her about it, she hesitantly explains that she likes to hold something solid. He doesn't ask why she has such a strange desire but it does explain the heap of stuffed animals shoved in the corner.

#40 - Spring

The only reason Hibari begins to prefer Spring over any other season is because Minako starts wearing these short frilly dresses that show off her shapely legs. When he sees the smirk on her face after she catches him looking at said legs, he realizes she's done it on purpose.

#41 - Stable

Because nothing about them is stable in any terms. But he prefers her to show up with red, swollen eyes in the middle of night rather than run off and do something stupid. At least this way she can fight out her frustrations and he gets a good sparring partner.

#42 - Strange

Their friends find their relationship to be the strangest thing to ever happen. Gokudera bets they won't even be able to last a month. They prove him wrong by lasting a lifetime, if only because Hibari refused to let the moronic herbivore be right.

#43 - Summer

Summer marks the season of solitude for him. It's when he not only gets respite from the onslaught of students, but when the peace in Namimori is rarely disrupted. This summer though, marks the time of nonstop visits from Minako. He tolerates it only because she lets him have his way with her on his desk.

#44 - Taboo

Their relationship wasn't taboo in this lifetime; if anything, Usagi encouraged Minako to pursue Hibari. But, as Minako walked the halls of Crystal Tokyo, she wishes it would have been forbidden to see him, just so she wouldn't know how much it hurt to be apart from him and his crazy ways.

#45 - Ugly

The wound that stretches across her back smears her spotless skin. Though he knows the senshi's advanced healing will clear any scar that would appear, he can't help the frown that forms everytime he sees it. He forces her to fight him for a week like his older self did with Sawada in a future that will never be just so he doesn't have to see someone mark his property again.

#46 - War

When the superficial blonde declares war on Hibari, he doesn't even dignify her with a response and just walks away. He later learns that she is not to be taken lightly when she ambushes him with water balloons, somehow leaves hair dye in his shampoo, and steals all of his tea. He puts her at the top of his bite to death list.

#47 - Water

What had started as a simple water balloon fight evolved into a deadly all out fight when Minako dragged Hibari into it. Afterwards, when the backyard of the mansion was decimated and Kyoko tried to console a despairing Tsuna, Minako and Chrome had to drag Hibari and Mukuro away from each other.

#48 - Welcome

Hibari is used to people whispering when he walks by them through the school halls on his patrols. He is not used to them giggling and smirking behind their hands. When he returns to his office, he finds some gaudy colored welcome mat before the door and nearly puts a hole through the wall. When he walks inside, he finds her perched on his desk with the biggest shit-eating grin he has ever seen. She has to jump out of the window to escape his wrath.

#49 - Winter

As the snow drifts to the ground outside of the window, Hibari sits sipping a warm cup of tea. Minako settles next to him with a cup of hot chocolate, quiet for once. They spend the rest of the day in peaceful silence.

#50 - Wood

She's a romantic at heart and thus carved their initials into a tree in some random park despite his uncaring attitude. He can't explain why he stands before this tree staring at the misshapen heart around their initials like some lovesick fool, especially since she is no longer his.


Author's Notes: So I know most people don't do 50 sentences prompts for crossover couples, but I really wanted to do one and decided to do the KHR couples from my fic "To Befriend a Fire Goddess and Co." IT WAS SO MUCH HARDER THAN I THOUGHT AND I MESSED UP HIBARI SO BAD. I'm pretty good at writing Minako and any senshi, but I suck at writing Hibari. I hope you enjoy anyway. Read and review!

Next up will probably be TsunaXKyoko, then YamamotoXMakoto, UsagiXMamoru, RebornXSetsuna (but that one might be more friendship based. Not sure if they're gonna be a couple, cuz LuceXReborn, but Reborn and Setsuna go way back), and finally GokuderaXHaru. Ami and Rei will come later since I haven't revealed their pairing, but their segments will be added later.

*EDIT* Decided to take out TsunaXKyoko, GokuderaXHaru, and UsagiXMamoru because they aren't crossover ships and I'm lazy trash
