Chapter 2: in which Tetsuya is surprised and Kurokawa suspects.
A week had passed since Chrome's move to Namimori Chuu. Since everyone was busy with the upcoming Inheritance ceremony and Tsuna couldn't bear with Chrome living on the streets, she was currently lodging with the Sasagawa. (Although she did protest at first. Kyoko had to use her kicked-puppy-eyed expression on Tsuna, who used I'm-the-boss, obey-me look and tone, and being a shy, wallflower who's loyal to her boss, Chrome relented.)
Kurokawa frowned as she waits for Kyoko, Chrome and Ryohei to get out of their house. A week had passed after the eyed-patched girl moved to Namimori. One week had passed when she moved into the Sasagawa household (No, she does not buy the Chrome's my cousin lie. plus, who in their right mind named their child Chrome? somewhere in France, our beloved, pineapple-headed illusionist sneezed. bless him…or not.)
Her frown deepens as their little group were joined by what she called in her head the three stooges (Tsuna-Gokudera-Yamamoto) and the three of them happily greeted the violet-eyed girl. Ever since she entered Namimori Chuu, the Tsuna's posse (Hana had tried and failed to imagine Tsuna as the head of the gang. it's more of Yamamoto's thing to be honest.) had actually being protective with her. (Note the sarcasm) she had watched, confused, as from day one, how familiar she was with the group. (She even called Tsuna Boss, damnit!) She had watched dumbfounded as Gokudera had actually threaten to blew some boys trying to score a date with the new girl. (This is Gokudera, Mr. I served Dame-Tsuna, girls are stupid and don't deserved to live, damnit!) Yamamoto even gave her one of his exclusive-sought after homemade sushi obentos. The ones he only gave to Tsuna and co. the ones that would make even the richest boy wept/beg for those sushis.
She even got Hibari-fricking-Kyouya wrapped by her fingertips! Oh, don't try to deny it. She has pictures damnit! You know the ones she took when both of them walking home form one of their dates. And he was carrying her groceries! This is Hibari Kyouya we're talking about! This is the guy who bites fangirls to death. Literally! (To be honest, Hana didn't know Hibari got…ah, conned into being Chrome slav…err, I meant, errand boy for a year. and being a good errand boy (albeit very reluctant…very, very reluctant) was helping with carrying the groceries.)
she even seem to be in, whatever the business Tsuna's group was in– a sort of business that Hana is not totally clear about, but just knows (and fears) is dangerous.
It's also she seems to be the only one who is kept in the dark about the activities of Tsuna's circle – activities that Haru Muira (the elite/crazy cosplayer) and Kyoko (sweet, innocence, naïve best friend of hers) have bonded over. She doesn't necessarily hate Haru – but she cannot accept that Haru and Kyoko have developed the sort of friendship wherein an exchanged glance is all it takes to understand each other.
And now Chrome.
She feels bitter about it – more bitter than she would have expected.
Tetsuya Kusakabe was confused. Really he was.
Hibari Kyouya used to be a simple man to understand. (Well, as far as a guy understand the demonic Skylark of Namimori.)
Then Mukuro Rokudou came by and kicked his ass. Literally.
Now the perfect used to be a simple guy with simple life goals, (protect Namimori peace and bite all miscreant to death (or at the very least, land them into hospital.) Now? Bite a certain Pineapple illusionist to death. And his minions. And break his tridents. And gorges his eyes out.
You get the picture.
Then Dino Cavallone enters the picture. A young handsome Italian (hours in the school, and he already had a fanclub rivalling Kyouya's.) who claimed to be Kyouya's home tutor and even kick his ass for the second time. (The skylark vehemently denied the incident ever happened.) Matter of fact, Kyouya made it his life mission to trash his teacher/friend/mentor to death and on the same time, avoid those glomps the Italian mafia don prone to give. (Among other things he prone to be.)
Then there was the future fiasco. Tetsuya was actually surprised (and honoured) to find out in the future he served under Kyouya as his right-hand man protecting Namimori and working under Vongola. He never knew Kyouya can e soo cool! (Queue for mindless adoration for a minute...ehemm)
Then Adelheid Suzuki and her challenge for the Discipline Community. To find out she was also a guardian like Kyouya and tries to kill him, was shocking. (Of course, Kyou-san pwned her!)
But all that seems normal compared to this... whatever this was.
It all started a week ago, when he noticed that Kyou-san was wandering dazed and biting people even for the slightest mistake. Even the other members of the Disciplinary Committee were extra wary of him today. Tsuna had told him something about his (Kyouya) epic rival going off to France to find a frog? But that wasn't the problem.
N, it was something more terrifying.
More terrifying that he, Tetsuya Kusakabe, Hibari Kyouya right-hand man had to hide to do it.
He, the Demonic Skylark of Namimori, the solitary Cloud, the greatest Vongola Decimo Guardian, was an

An

Errand boy.

Enter the loud, stifle laughter, the angrier-then-ever perfect, a pair of flashy tonfas, OMG, not the handcuffs! Not the handcuffs damnit! (The author runs frantically from the trigger-happy skylark as his right-hand man, for, once, was spared from the horrifying punishment.)
Ehemm. Back to the story.
How did he, Tetsuya Kusakabe found out this horrifying secret? No, the author did NOT tell him. She was slaving over yet another presentation when he found out. So basically she was not to be blamed...this time.
Lets see...
5 days ago...
Tetsuya winced along with Tsuna as Hibari um, for the lack of a better word, bite a few miscreants to death. (Au contraire, he (Tsuna) had nothing to do with it. He was there to give some papers Reborn asked him to past along to the prefect.)
Chrome Dokuro, the new girl, had accidentally stumbled upon the massacre while trying to find the main office. Apparently, with Dame-Tsuna not being in class, Chrome, as the new girl, had to deliver a bunch (more like a huge stack!) of papers, books and assignments to the teacher staff room. (And drop the class attendance sheet at the office right after that.)
Hibari had just been about to strike the final attack at his opponent when he had noticed her presence and been distracted. He frowned. She blushed. He glared. She squeaked in embarrassment.
"Well?" chrome flinched and couldn't help but stuttered.
"Um, ano...I...uh...That...is..."
"On with it, herbivore." Hibari sighed, putting away his tonfas. That's right. You read that right. Hibari Kyouya puts away his precious tonfas.
Chrome muttered something about lost and teacher staffroom. Hibari sighed again (is it just me or he being doing a lot of that?)
"Tetsuya." Tetsuya blinks in shock as Hibari grabs the paper stack and turns Chrome with his spare hand, "Deal with the trash." And walks away, still holding chrome's arm, albeit to her protests and complain. Tetsuya gaped in shock before turning to Tsuna, who was staring anywhere than the receding couple with a sheepish smile. After a long, confusing explanation from Tsuna, Tetsuya first reaction was laugh.
His second reaction was to duck and hide. Apparently, Hibari was standing behind him while he was laughing out loud.
One week had passed. Tetsuya found himself getting interested in entire Hibari-Dokuro interaction (he wasn't the only one! Reborn even got a cabinet full of blackmail, err, I mean videos of Hibari getting pwned, err, I mean helping Chrome.) Anyone who knows Hibari would be shocked. Lingering stares, the lack of nickname, gentle, almost-there-but not-there smiles...
One would say Hibari was in love but that would be saying the sky was a lavishing colour of gorgeous green and the grass was bright, aqua-like alluring blue.
And Hibari Kyouya doesn't bite and Chrome Dokuro likes pineapple.
Now you can see why Tetsuya Kusakabe was confused.
Ok, basically, this chapter is hat other people sees from outside the sphere that surrounds Hibari and Chrome weird-but-in-Vongola-normal relationship.
Next chapter! Back to our favourite Skylark and pineapple vessel!
p.s: I might update depending whether the Moon goddess would grace her beauty tomorrow night and the god-suffering-doddering-fools declares Raya or not. If yes, I might update a short one. If not, a extra long one that waxed poetry. (jk!jk!)
review and make this girl happy!
Please!
Pretty please?
