Chapter 1: Hibari Kyoya

We all know how most OC stories in the KHR fandom start, right? European/American/mixed-origin girl with ties to the mafia transfers to Namimori and miraculously manages to hit it off with one of the guys? Yeah, those kind of stories.

This isn't one of those stories.

Lisa, an Italian girl, has recently moved to Namimori. Sounds generic so far, right? This is where similarities end.

Our view-point character may look the part of a pre-teen, but in reality she's a proud 25-year-old woman. Honestly, what kind of illusionist would she be if she couldn't even change her appearance? Though, if we're being technical, she isn't much of an illusionist; having the Mist Flame and basic knowledge of how to use it was simply convenient for her job."

Said job?

Field Psychologist.

You see, reader, Lisa's work isn't all that different from the average therapist. She just happens to add stalking her subjects to the job description.

A little while ago, she'd scored this wonderfully well-paying job; analyzing the future Vongola Decimo and those he associates with in order to find ways to help them grow as people.

And so the stalking began. If only she knew beforehand what a dysfunctional bunch these kids were…

Why exactly did she decide it was a good idea to start with the Cloud Guardian, again?

Watching him go about his daily routine certainly wasn't boring, she'll give him that, but it was most definitely infuriating.

For someone so keen on 'keeping the peace', he sure broke a lot of rules. Why is he the only one allowed to carry a weapon on school grounds? Why are he and his goons allowed to beat people up? Why does he dislike people 'crowding'? Does he not realize how flawed his system is or does he simply not care?

After a lot of thinking (and stalking), Lisa may finally have an answer:

Social anxiety. Or at least a severe, very violent case of it, anyway.

'He likes being alone' and 'he's scary' are the two most prominent ways for the students to describe Hibari Kyoya. Lisa could see why they'd get that impression, and though she agreed with the later, she couldn't help but flinch when the former was said. You see, reader, our dear little protagonist considers 'liking being alone' as impossible as witchcraft.

Humans are social creatures. We need company to stay sane. In fact, it's been scientifically proven that people who have friends live several years longer than people who don't.

And so Lisa's come to the conclusion that even though a person wants to be alone every once in a while, it's not something we want on a regular basis.

Mr. Hibari's loathing of 'crowding' just strengthens her suspicions. Even if he did like being alone, why would he be so against others getting into groups?

He's jealous. Simple as that.

The root of the problem, Lisa guessed, was a traumatic experience with bullies. They most likely picked on a friend of his, he beat them up, they lied to a teacher and made it look like his fault, his friend was afraid of his strength and didn't defend him. It also explains why he's so violent and cares so little for other people. It's cliché, but it checks out.

What a sad individual.

It was a Saturday evening when it happened.

Lisa was in the Sawada's kitchen, waiting for Reborn so she could hand him her report on Hibari Kyoya, when the future Vongola Decimo walked through the front door.

That isn't a strange occurrence in the least, of course. It's the person he was giving a piggyback ride to that didn't make sense.

Peeking her head through the door to the living room, the psychologist was greeted by an unusual sight.

The first thing she noticed was the incapacitated boy on the couch. His face was an unhealthy shade of pink-ish red (or red-ish pink; she couldn't really tell) and his coughing sounded choked. He looked pale and was shivering violently.

The next thing that caught her eye was Decimo, who was explaining to Mrs. Sawada that he found the other guy collapsed on the side of the road.

Lisa decided to wait a few more days before handing in her report.

After a quick call to Shamal and some threatening from Reborn, Mr. Hibari's fever was under control. That wasn't the interesting part, though. What Lisa was interested in was the aftermath.

That night, Decimo stayed by his Cloud Guardian's side. Reborn would've most likely made him if he didn't decide to on his own, but the point is he did.

It was around 2:00am when Mr. Hibari finally woke up.

The conversation that followed was as you'd expect; Decimo freaked out a little, Mr. Hibari asked what happened, Decimo explained (leaving out how he watched over the other boy, even though it was completely obvious that he did), Mr. Hibari looked to the ceiling thoughtfully.

Lisa'd be lying if she said she didn't let an amused smile slip when she noticed his flush deepen.

The next week, Reborn was sitting at the kitchen table, breezing through Lisa's report on the future Vongola Cloud Guardian.

Sipping his coffee, he couldn't help but smirk at her notes on Mr. Hibari's slight change of behavior lately.

Yes, his student was most definitely going to make a wonderful Mafioso.
