I See You

It was an ordinary day like any other and 16 year-old Hibari Kyouya, Disciplinary Committee Chairman of Namimori Middle School, was walking down the street towards his beloved school. He had just finished patrolling his so called territory and was satisfied when he found no traces of trouble or ruckus around the place. Well, there were only a few delinquents that needed to be bitten to death but all in all, it was a normally peaceful day and the skylark preferred it as it is.

However, fate seemed to have some plans for him when Hibari rounded a corner and he heard little gasp of surprise behind him. His instant reaction was to turn around and inspect the situation before taking action, though he found nothing that needs to be inspected. Only an empty street behind him. Strange, he thought. He was about to turn and continue his walk when some little scuffling was heard somewhere behind him. Again, he turned to where he heard the sound and looked down below.

It was only a little boy looking up at him like he had a chicken sitting on his head. Hibari would have dismissed the situation and be on his way if not for the child staring at him. Only much younger. One would think they are brothers. He raised an eyebrow at this and let the situation settle on his mind. The child looked like someone between 5 or 6 years old. Eyes, nose, ears, mouth and skin are all the same with the older Hibari, though the boy sported an amazed look and the older looked like he does not care at all. Deep inside, the older Hibari was very curious. He had never seen anything like it nor experience this phenomenon. It is probably the baby's fault. Something about time travelling like the last time they did.

"Wao." Hibari uttered with a growing smile. "What do we have here?"

5 year-old Hibari Kyouya, or Kyou, was never this amazed before. He was only going home when out of the corner of his eye, he saw a black fluttering cape that resembled a superhero's. The boy couldn't help looking at the fluttering material until he focused his eyes on the face of the owner, who was now looking down at him with familiar steel grey eyes.

Little Kyouya could not look away at the curious face of the teen as he identified the many details so similar to his. The eyes, the nose, hair, cheeks, jaw…even the ears and skin. He was wearing a back school uniform, probably a middle school student or a high school freshman from the looks of it. The outer uniform which he saw as a cape earlier was draped on his shoulder and a red armband was pinned around a sleeve. On the teenager's right hand, on the middle finger, is a single black ring which the boy dismissed as an ordinary accessory.

Then, Kyou heard the older male speak. the boy was impressive by very familiar 'wao' that came out from the teen's lips. Could it be that the person in front of him is his older self?

"Wao." He mimicked the other, his tone very curious and amazed, and suddenly ran more closer towards the older man to take a better look.

"What are you doing?" Hibari asked, feeling a tiny bit unsettled when the boy suddenly went near him and stared at him intently. Like the child is expecting something. But the reply was something he had not expected.

"I just want to know if I could see myself without a mirror." Kyou answered, interested at the product of the situation which is the teen who looked like him.

The older Hibari blinked at the response and took a full minute for his mind to catch up at the event. Well, since he is still a boy of that age, Hibari guessed that there is magical thinking involved which in reality is not really magic. Knowing him, he knew he is real. And the boy…most probably real. The moment he met the herbivore which is Sawada, the baby, and their little herd, include a certain pineapple too, sometimes things that are only real in the imagination can also be real in reality.

"Hn…" Hibari crouched down before little Kyou and brushed a finger on the boy's slightly chubby cheek in affection. Things are getting interesting with this one-of-a-kind meeting. "What do you think?"

Kyou blinked, not at all startled when the stranger look-alike brushed a finger on his cheek but was tempted to smile when the older smiled at him. "Un!" But the boy smiled otherwise.


Author's note: Hello people! It's been a while since I wrote a fanfic. I know I have a lot to update but I want to make way for this little fic. It is a tribute to two certain role players and their characters. The relationship of their characters gave birth to this fic and I'm proud to dedicate this despite being poorly written. Anyway, please enjoy yourselves and I would appreciate a comment, suggestion or flames.
