"Wait! You want to see Lord Hibari?» The gatekeeper stared at your parents as if they were declaring suicide. Well, it was maybe the case.
Your mother showed you, carefully warped in an embroidered tissue and carried as if you were a precious package. "This baby might be the Landlord's child."
The watchdog glanced suspiciously at you and was about to reject your family's pleadings when Sir Alaude appeared on the fortification above the gate.
"Let them enter, peasant, I shall listen to their story." He turned around and left for his castle, but the truth was he was bored for not having anyone to beat up for so long. The guard was against it, he knew something was fishy, but he let your parents enter neither less.
.｡.:.｡.
"So this child... is mine?"
Your mother—the only one courageous enough, if not the stupidest—nodded. "At first, we didn't even dare to think about it, but when we saw the flame, we knew her father was a Noble."
"So, let me see this fl-"
"Father, what is happening here?"
A tall, slender yet young man entered the room. His smooth dark hair mixed well with his narrowing blue-grey falcon eyes and pure white skin. He was truly a beauty. The newcomer walked directly to you and your parents, his high-booted feet graciously stepping in the hallway, his cape trailing in the air behind him.
"Ah, Hibari. This baby, here..." Answered his blond father, who then pointed his index to the package inside your mother's arms—in other words; you—, smirking "...seems to be of the family."
"Really?" Hibari raised an elegant eyebrow then stalked to your mum.
As you saw him gettingnearer, you could contemplate how hot this man was. You smiled goofily, handing out your hands toward the beautiful man. "PAPA!"
...
An awkward silence filled the courtroom. Your parents were confused. Alaude raised an eyebrow, the exact way his son did it some seconds ago. Hibari opened wide his eyes.
"What?", he smartly blurted out.
You truly didn't know why you called him that. He wasn't your father and you knew it... Ohhhhhh, now that you thought about it, the elder of the villages had mentioned something about this before. For a child, the love of his life was his father. It was something like Oedipus's complex. So no wonder why, when you saw this Hot guy, you intently decided for him to be your father. Instinct was a weird thing.
Regaining composure, said 'father' narrowed his eyes, glaring at both your parents.
"Is this a joke?»
"Not likely. Seems like the child has a flame."
"Father!" Hibari turned to his old man, frowning. "How could I even have a child if I never ever had a wife? Never did I touch a women and I don't intend to do so before marrying."
"What gives me proofs of what you're saying? You never come back at night and always disappear to do shady business every time I don't lay my eyes on you"
Hibari swallowed difficultly. He couldn't retort to that. Neither did he want to tell the true behind those « shady businesses ».
Alaude sighed and stood up from his throne. Under the gaze of your perplexed parents, he stalked to one of the multiples doors of the room and stopped in track under the frame before exiting; "Kyouya will take the child. We will judge if this child truly is of the family, if not, you shall pay the consequences."
Your parents gulped heavily, hopping very much they weren't mistaken. The Land Lords of the Cloud part of the Vongola Kingdom were known to be the most violent and dangerous Nobles.
Without asking for authorisation, Kyouya took you off your mother's arms and carefully held you against his chest. He seemed really displeased, but he still was careful with a baby such as yourself. If you didn't know you weren't his child and what was his true character, you would think he was caring about you like a father would.
Turning on his heels, he began to stalk to one of the other door of the hall, leaving your parents alone in the tremendous room. However, all stress had been washed away, you were in the arm of a beautiful man, healthy and wealthy, and even though it wasn't in a romantic context, you could feel yourself at peace in his arms. Being rocked by his steps, your sleepy eyes were mesmerized by this beautiful face staring straight in front of him, yourself being comfortable in a laying position, couldn't fight but let yourself be lulled into a warm slumber.
.｡.:.｡.
It had been 2 days since you began residing in the Cloud Castle. Everything was really quiet but each time neither of the landlords were present, the maids would always praise your cuteness and play with you. Sir Alaude always was concerned about work and Kyouya searched like a madman for evidence that you weren't his child. It made you wonder if you were more of a burden (for Kyouya) than a welcomed heiress (for Sir Alaude).
Today was the first time your pseudo-father would let you near him since the beginning of your stay. But true was that he was peacefully reading a book in a lounge when you entered the room, half-toddling, half-crawling, and sat near his feet, your bubbly [colour] eyes staring at him.
Today had been a long and harassing day. After patrolling two times around the Cloud part of the kingdom himself, in search of your mother—Yourself, so he couldn't find you anyway—Hibari was drained of all energy. For the day that is. He was now sitting on his favourite sofa, stretching his long legs on the coffee table. What a comfortable position.
He spared you only one glance before returning to his reading. It wasn't your fault for being here, everything was the couple-who-brought-you's doing. Babies didn't have any mind to begin with. Therefore, you were innocent and a victim too. Plus, you were only a defenceless and harmless little thing.
However, Hibari was about to learn how dangerous a baby herbivore could get.
Resting on your loose-fitting nappy, you decided to climb the sofa. How wonderful would it be to be able to read on the laps of your Papa—Oops, sorry—this hotty. Putting a little hand on his knee, you earned a blue-greyish glare before your hand was put somewhere else. Putting your hand on his laps this time, you didn't wait long before he slapped it away. Deciding to change tactics, you hoisted one of your legs on the sofa, then pushed with your hands to climb. Hibari raised a hand, about to help you not fall off and hurt yourself, but you successfully complied this task… However, you landed in an unladylike manner; doing twice a 180° roll until your back reached the backrest, letting your legs res high above your head in the air, your head in the cushion of the sofa and your dress falling to reveal the round checks of your but covered by a baby blue diaper. A smirked appeared on your pseudo-father's face as you blushed. If you were the teenager from some days ago, you would yell at this hateable rich guy, but because you were now seeing him as a 'father', you didn't do so. As you sat properly on the sofa, Hibari returned to his reading, peacefully relaxing his mind again. Nevertheless, it wasn't with help from your part. As he was finishing a line, a mop of [colour] hair blocked his vision, soon followed by the sensation of a weight on his laps and stomach. Your bubbly [coloured] eyes landed on the paper. Well, you maybe weren't able to talk, but you could still read. Hibari sighed. Really now, he had to discipline this little herbivore. Closing the book, he raised it above your head in a firm grip. Confused as to why he stopped his reading, you followed the book with your eyes until realisation hit you. He was about to use the book to hurt you!
And that was Hibari's principal error; letting you see his attack. Why? Because you had a waayyy more powerful secret weapon.
And there it goes :
"Huuu.. Hooooouuuuuuuuuuuu.... ouuUUUAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
This powerful and vicious attack slashed Hibari straight in the face.
All the servant of the house thought it was an alert of some sort. However, Sir Alaude knew better. Yes, he was used to it, long ago. How? His brat of a son was a real cry-baby as a snotty kid.
Getting ahead of all servants in the run to the far east lounge, something questionable in hand, Sir Alaude dashed by the door, pushing all the curious maids to see his son Kyouya with a puzzled look searching how to shut up your 2 years old self. Hibari glanced at his father and his cold gray eyes asked—no—pleaded for help. If this wasn't a major crisis situation, Alaude would have laughed at this.
He rushed to both of you and grabbed your face while you were in Hibari's arm, putting something shady inside your yelling mouth and gave you back to his son, waiting pleasantly.
"..."
Suddenly, as honey delicately flowed on your tongue, silence filled the whole castle. In the tearoom, the occupants could even hear the frogs outside who were awesomely failing at singing.
Everyone could have the time to breathe themselves out of the beginning of a war when Hibari's steel glare landed on your hands. He made you sit in his arm to have a better view of yourself. There you were, twiddling your tongue in search of what caused the taste. But what amazed him wasn't the enormous quantity of drool you were loosing on his suit, but the small flames that appeared at the tip of your small fingers, not injuring your mouth.
His eyes opened wide. This wasn't the colour he had.
"This isn't my flame."
.｡.:.｡.
The rest of the day was spent more peacefully as you learned your lesson and didn't even try to act selfish again.
As for Hibari, he was now in a better mood, knowing you weren't of the family. But still, he never saw a flame such as yours... he thought that maybe you should travel around the other kingdom to find your real family.
Raising his strong glare from you to a bunch of servants, the young Noble seemed to find the person he wanted after a moment.
"Shamal."
A beardy old man came toward both of you. He smiled cheerily at the Land Lord. However, his smirk got washed away as he got a deathly glare from his superior. As Hibari gave you to this old man, you suddenly didn't feel comfortable any-more. Will Kyouya really make you go away? You opened your mouth to cry again and tell your papa you didn't want to, but the old doctor took you into the air, playing « upsy-daisy ».
Wrong move.
Since you were born, 15 or 16 years from now, you always had been afraid of heights. Then you began to cry loudly under the panicked eyes of the old man. Your pseudo-father began be distress again but your pseudo-grand father—Alaude—hurriedly put another honey sugar in your mouth, lowered you to push your little self against the doctor's chest and glared coldly at him, sending shiver down his spine.
"You will take care of this child and take her to the next estate."
"But, Lord, I only take care of fully developed wome-"
"Hurry and go to the pineapple."
"O-okay..."
Oh great, your new family was now going to get rid of you.
Really, now, who was this pineapple thing? A pineapple breeder? A spicy character?
