Chapter One

On October 14th, at exactly 00:00, a shooting star shot across the sky and hit the ground, right outside Hibari Kyoya's home. Coincidently, he was home alone, so he jumped out the window, landing with a graceful tap on the ground before he walked. He was curious as to what a star would look like, and since his house was the only one near here, he was positive that only he would find the star embedded in the ground.

What he didn't expect to come across was a shivering, brunette teen laying in the crater, curled up in a ball with his eyes closed. Nor did he expect said boy to have beautiful glittery skin and to have an odd glow about him either. In fact, he was just surprised really. When you think of a star, you think of a rock, not a beautiful looking human- if it was human.

Hibari stood for a few moments before he jumped into the crater, landing next to the seemingly sleeping boy before picking him up and looking round, hearing voices as he frowned and then got back out before running back to his house, not willing for anyone to know who the boy was, nor what had fallen from the sky. He found it first.

Trying not to think on how possessive sounding he was being over the boy he had found, he went back in his house and locked the door behind him, taking a few moments to wonder what he should to before he went to his bedroom, laying the boy down and covering him with a blanket as he went to his bedroom and had a look about before he came across an overly large shirt. Going back to his bed, he carefully slipped the shirt over the boys head and then lay him back down, not uttering a single word as he knelt next to the bed and tilted his head to the side.

This was something he never expected to see. It made him curious as to where such a boy could live up in space. Was he protected by a gas ball? Or did he live on one of the planets? Was he a super-human? Hibari couldn't tell, but he was fascinated.


Slowly, the eyes on the brunette opened slowly, before blinking as his body rocked forwards, looking around wildly as the soft skin glowed brightly due to fright.

"W-Where...?"

"I picked you up from outside, or you would have frozen to death," the brunette looked over at Hibari, who had been awake the whole time, blinking softly before he calmed down. "So tell me, who are you?"

"M-My name... is Tsuna... Tsunayoshi Sawada..." the boy then clasped his hands together and looked round himself nervously. "Ano... I don't know how I got here... I was just sleeping..."

"Sleeping," Hibari looked disbelieving as he sighed and then extended his hand out in greeting. "Hibari Kyoya."

The boy, now known as Tsuna, blinked softly and then reached out and shook his hand for the sake of being polite, nibbling his lower lip as he looked around himself. The room didn't have much in it, a bed, closet, drawers, TV and a few books. It was quite odd for a sixteen year old teenagers room really. Tsuna blinked softly and then looked down at himself, staring at the huge white shirt hanging on his small frame before looking at Hibari.

"If you don't want it, then walk around naked all you want," Hibari got to his feet. "But I wouldn't recommend it herbivore."

"H-Herbivore...? But I'm not an animal..."

"Then what are you?"

"A star?" Hibari just stared at him before he folded his arms.

"Prove it," Tsuna blinked and then tilted his head to the side in thought, thinking on how to prove he wasn't a human, nor an animal. "If you prove it, then I'll stop calling you a herbivore and then I'll call you by whatever you want."

"Umm..." quite randomly, Tsuna started started crying, causing Hibari to frown but then paused as he watched the tears drip down and then land in Tsuna's hand, showing a blue crystal resting in his hand, followed by another and another as he continued to cry. "W-Well... usually you give these as gifts, but, um... it's the only way I can think to show that I'm not an animal..."

Hibari took one of the crystals in his hand and then stared at it, watching it glitter in the dim light as Tsuna then wiped at his eyes, causing a long crystal to form on the back of his hand.

"Mother told me not to cry in front of humans, since they would use me... but you saved me s-so..."

"She has a point," Tsuna blinked in confusion at the statement. "These crystals are very expensive in this country, and can be sold for hundreds, perhaps thousands, when put in jewellery."

Tsuna looked confused as he tilted his head to the side, nibbling his lower lip as he looked at the crystals in his hand.

"Are they not common in this world...?"

"They can no longer find such a crystal in the world any more," Hibari closed his eyes in thought. "There used to be a myth that this kind of crystal could give you some form of power. Due to humans being frightened of it, they destroyed the majority of them, and the only ones left mostly belong to rich families or have been stolen by the Yakuza and Mafia."

Tsuna blinked softly, before he tilted his head, still cupping the crystals in his hands.

"But they were never meant to be for that... they're gifts... you give them to people your close to... giving them makes them happy..." Hibari frowned. Tsuna didn't seem to understand that here, they could be used for bargaining deals and possibly weapons if they had the power he thought they had.

"... Just don't cry in front of anyone," Tsuna nodded, and then smiled, before he hugged Hibari gently, causing him to pause.

"Thanks for helping me, Kyoya-san!"

That night, Hibari Kyoya found a star, yet not a star that he was thinking about. It was a beautiful, yet naïve being that could trust anyone. He had to figure out where and how Tsuna ended up here, quickly.
