Hello, Flowers here. This is my first KHR fanfiction but not my first fanfiction in general. This Story may deter off the course of the original timeline in the Manga/Anime. Also this should be obvious but I do not own KHR. Warning I do not speak Ukrainian, I only speak English, and some novice German. All Ukrainian is from google translate, so if there is a mistake please let me know, thank you! and let me know if you would like the translation at the end or how it is. Thank you and enjoy this first chapter.
Chapter One: Child Prodigy
Today was like none other in the Shimizu household, it was quiet, other than the fact that an eight year old girl was paddling along the house gathering her belongings that were mandatory for school. While there was the clanking of pans in the kitchen. The girl was Shimizu Albina. She had round, pale face adorned with a black eyepatch over her left eye. Her eye color was a deep gold, with flicks of green in the iris. She had snow white hair that reached her shoulders and she had bangs that brushed her short eyebrows, which made her eye color stand out just a smidge more. Albina's apparel consisted of the average middle school uniform. Although she was only eight, Masako was a child prodigy. She seemed to just absorb all the information that came flying towards her. Resulting in Albina to skip several grades.
"Ready to go *Маленький кролик?" Asked a young woman with platinum blonde hair, and ice blue eyes. This woman was the girl's mother.
* Little Rabbit - Pronounced - Malenʹkyy krolyk – This phrase/words will be used quite frequently
"*Так, мамочка!" Albina said happily, while grabbing her white bunny plushie. Her mother smiled at her child. 'Such a young bright child.' Her mother thought in glee.
* Yes, Mommy – Pronounced - Tak mamochka - This phrase/words will be used quite frequently
"Okay, be safe while going to school. Remember-"She's cut off by her daughter.
"*Я знаю, я знаю, не говори з незнайомими людьми. До побачення мамочка!" Albina said rather quickly before skipping out the door. The blonde sighs, but a smile still graces her lips.
* I know, I know, Do not talk to strangers. Goodbye Mommy!
"What am I going to do with that daughter of mine?"
"*Я в Японії ~, я в Японії ~, Урай, Урай!" Albina sung happily over and over again. Currently the young girl was walking straight down Namimori, as for the school was straight down the long neighborhood. Albina was quite happy to be going to Namimori Middle School, although she wasn't going to the best school, she thought Namimori was good enough. Plus hers and mommy's flight to Japan was paid by her last school, so she could improve academically.
* I'm in Japan~, I'm in Japan~, Hooray, Hooray! - Pronounced -Ya v Yaponiyi ~, Ya v Yaponiyi ~, Uray, Uray!
As Albina was skipping she wasn't paying attention to her surroundings, resulting in her to bump into someone else. "*Ой!" She yelled out, and fell backwards landing on her back. She heard someone else, most likely the person she bumped into, yell out a "Hieeeee!" in fright. Albina then, hurriedly pushed herself back up into a bow and spoke in Japanese but with a heavy accent.
* Oh! - Pronounced - Oy/Oi
"Ah! I am sorry mister, I did not mean to run into you." She bowed over in dogeza. This seemed to make the boy freak out even more.
"Ehhh, it's okay! You don't need to bow in Dogeza, it wasn't that bad!" The boy fidgeted in place, then held out his hand to the young girl. Albina looked up and gladly took it. Once pulled up she dusted her skirt, and her bunny off.
"Are you okay Marigold?" Albina directed towards the white bunny, looking for dirt, or any tears. The boy who helped her up looked defeated that the first thing she does right after is talk to her bunny, but he guessed that he shouldn't really complain since he was the same way when he was her age.
"Eto… My name is Sawada Tsunayoshi. It's nice to me you … I guess." Tsunayoshi then finally took the girl's appearance in whole. Surprised by her eyepatch, and her uniform. Tsunayoshi was also glad that Reborn hadn't gone to school with him today.
"Ahh, gomene. I'm Albina Shimizu, ahh I mean Shimizu Albina! Hey, you have the same uniform as me! Do you go to Namimori Middle School?" Albina took in Sawada-san's appearance. He had Spiky brown hair, and bright hazel eyes. He wore the usual Namimori boys' uniform.
"Yeah I do, why do you ask Shimizu-chan?" He replied.
"Do you think I could walk with you? I'm a new transfer student, for class 1-A, and I want to make sure I don't get lost." Albina smiled brightly up at Sawada-san, hugging her bunny, Marigold, closer to her.
"Oh yeah I don't mind. So you're a transfer student huh, I guess that explains the accent. You're also in my class by the way." He smiled back down at the girl as they walk. Albina hummed in response as she walked by him.
"Hey, Shimizu-chan?"
"Hai, Sawada- san?" Albina starts to hop one foot to the other in a rhythm to the song she hummed earlier, humming again.
"How old are you?" Tsunayoshi asked, chuckling a bit at the girl's antics.
"Eight." Albina resumed humming.
"Ah okay." The comfortable silence returned between them, before it dawned upon Tsuna.
'WAIT WHAT!?' Tsuna paused physically looking at the young girl hoping ahead of him, he caught back up before she could get too far. Tsuna knew she was probably a bit younger but he didn't think she was that young. Tsuna though she might've been ten or twelve at most since girls could be short but still a bit older. But apparently the girl right next to him was actually tall for her age, and apparently very smart.
"Sawada-san?"
"Hai … Shimizu-chan?" Tsunayoshi looked down at the girl.
"Are you a stranger?" Albina squinted her eye at him, as if trying to tell if he was going to lie or not.
"Well no I guess not since we know each other's names, and we go to the same school and class." He replied looking away from the girl's hard gaze.
"Оh."
"Why do you ask Shimizu-chan?" Tsunayoshi asked in response.
"Well, my Мамочка says I shouldn't talk to strangers, but since you're not one it's okay." Albina said with a big grin at the mention of her mother.
"Your Maaa- moo- ka?" Tsuna didn't know what that word meant, as he sounded it out.
"Ma-mo-ch-ka. It means Mommy." Albina said back with some bite in voice since Sawada-san pronounced the word wrong. Tsunayoshi seemed to notice her tone and only nodded in response. As a result the two made their way to school in silence while the only noise came from Albina's humming.
Albina, and Tsuna arrived at the school. Albina was hopping and jumping, excited to be at this new school, while Tsuna was in fact dreading going inside the building. Not being able to wait any longer Albina shouted a see you later Sawada-san, then she ran up into the building to go look for the Dean. Tsuna sighed 'So much for not wanting to get lost.' Tsuna then looked back at the building and sighed not wanting to be seen by anyone especially after he confessed to Kyoko-chan yesterday.
Albina stopped in the middle of a hall way. She looked around at all the tall teenagers in their respective cliques, talking and chattering about, not paying any attention to the eight year old in the hall. Albina grew worried because for fact now she was lost.
"*Ебать." Albina cursed under her breath.
* Fuck – Pronounced – Ebat'
Albina then hugged her bunny closer to her as anxiety crept upon her shoulders. You'd think for a prodigy that she'd know where she was going but she had a bad sense of direction.
"Herbivores stop crowding, Leave now before I bite you all to death!" barked out a boy with black hair. Everyone that was in groups quickly dispelled and ran off to class whispering, and gossiping about the boy presumably named Hibari Kyoya, the Perfect.
"Oi. Kid what are you doing in Namimori Middle School, you're trespassing. "Albina looked up in response clutching onto her bunny even tighter.
"Ah, um, Hello mister, I'm Shimizu Albina, I'm a new transfer student for class 1-A, and I got lost after I left the Principal's office. Can you please take me to my classroom?" Albina then bowed lowly after she asked her question. Hibari looked down at the girl. Taking in her rustled white hair, and her small form as she was holding onto her bunny like a lifeline. She was acting like a frightened small animal. More specifically a bunny. Hibari scoffed at her.
"Fine, Herbivore but only this once. Follow me unless you want to be bitten to death." Albina then looked up the older boy and smiled gratefully. Hibari started walking away, and before he got ahead she ran up to him and grabbed onto his hand. This surprised Hibari as he tried to jerk his hand away from her, but she wouldn't let go so he just 'hn'ned at her and let it slide just this once. For he was a Carnivore helping a weak helpless Herbivore, it was a Commensalism type of relationship but just this once Hibari told himself.
The two arrived at their destination, almost right away Hibari ripped his hand away from the small girl. Albina smiled and bowed to him, muttering a 'thank you' to him as he walked away. Albina then knocked, and entered the room. The teacher looked up to the girl, as he ushered her to come in.
"Class, this is our new foreign exchange student from Russia or something," Albina stared at the man, she was not from Russia, "please give her a warm welcome, and ask her any questions you want."
Albina sighed before looking up at the class. "Hello, I am Shimizu Albina, I am from Ukraine, not Russia or something. I am eight years old, and this is my Bunny Marigold." Albina held up her bunny to the class smiling brighter than the sun. The class started to murmur to themselves before several hands shot up.
"Shimizu-chan, why do you have an eyepatch?"
"Because I need it."
"Shimizu-chan, aren't you supposed to be in elementary school?"
"No. I am a Prodigy, *Дурна голова."
*Stupid Head - Pronounced - Durna holova
"Awww, you sound so cute when you speak Russian."
"*Це не російський ідіот, це українець."
*This is not Russian idiot, it's Ukrainian
"Her accent is so cute too! And isn't it adorable how she carries her bunny around!"
"*Так, поклоніться мені."
*Yes, Worship me.
"Alright, Alright, we speak only Japanese in this class, and English when it's appropriate. Now Shimizu-san, go sit in your seat behind Sawada-san." The teacher cut in.
"Hai." Albina responded in a very heavy Ukrainian accent on purpose to retaliate. Albina then quickly skipped down to her seat, waved hello to Sawada-san and sat in her seat. One problem. She couldn't see past Tsuna's hair.
"*Сука-Sensei! I can't see the front of the classroom!" Said teacher sighed and moved her seat to the front muttering about how she can't even pronounce his name right, well jokes on him. What did he expect an eight year old to somehow see past a whole row of thirteen/fourteen year olds?
*Bitch – Pronounced – Suka
Soon enough lunch period began, and Albina was in a predicament. She could either eat her lunch or follow Sawada-san while he's being dragged off by two other boys. Instead she chose to combine the two, follow Sawada-san then eat lunch. In which she did. She ended up following then to Kendo club. Sawada-san was currently being confronted by another boy she did not know. But Albina didn't really mind as she ate her lunch standing at the front of the crowd.
"Since you're a novice at Kendo, If you can land on ippon on me then you win," The smug boy grinned deviously, "the prize of course is … SASAGAWA KYOKO!" He then pointed at Kyoko with the stick in his hand? Albina couldn't remember what it was called. The girls in the crowd then started murmuring about how he was being a dick and a jerk.
The boy who Albina came to learn to be Mochida-senpai, was now thinking to himself as Sawada-san went running off to the bathroom. Albina took in note that the armor and Shinai he was supposed to use looked very heavy.
"EHHHH? Where'd Dame-Tsuna go?" Mochida-senpai asked in shock
"He ran off to the bathroom, probably to go escape like he usually does." A random Kendo member pipes up. Mochida-senpai then jumps in the air yelling stuff about how it's a forfeit win and that Kyoko-chan is all his now. Albina heard a gunshot then a loud BAM outside. Then suddenly Sawada-san was running into the club room screaming battle in his underwear, completely disregarding the armor.
Mochida laughed at Sawada-san
"Only fool would run in naked," He said tears of laughter in his eyes, "eat this you peon!" who still calls people peon as an insult? Oh yeah Mochida does. Mochida-senpai the slams his Shinai to Sawada-san's head but it breaks upon impact as Sawada-san pushes Mochida-senpai to the ground.
Suddenly Sawada-san yells out 'Hyaku-pon' ripping out Mochida's hair, and keeps ripping it out until he gets Zembu-pon, making Mochida completely bald. The crowd is yelling out Hoorays and yays, and smart Tsuna as he has won the match against the kendo captain. Then abruptly the crowd runs in crowding Tsuna telling him he did an amazing job. While Albina stood back wishing not to be stampeded. Albina then took one more glance before turning around to leave, and leaving one question in her head.
'Why was Sawada-san on fire, and nobody else noticed?'
