Dino, being the curious cat he is, took in an owl.
Never knowing how how much it could change his life.
Never.
The Cat, the Owl, and the Skylark.
Ch. 1
Two years.
It's been two years since they found eachother.
The cat and the skylark.
They said their Hello's and Goodbye's.
But mostly avoided eachother.
'Is he getting tired of me?' thought the worried skylark.
'No, that can't be right...'
Till oneday,
the owl came along.
Dino saw him stumbling upon the road
and took him in.
When the skylark saw the owl
they were at a life and death situation.
A fight.
Naturally, the owl won
and
the skylark was scolded.
Ch. 2
The skylark fled that night.
Fighting the chilling winds against his wings.
'He won't need me anymore since he has that... that... replacement.'
Thought the skylark.
The skylark didn't know then
but,
the howling winds had hidden Dino's cries of sadness.
The cries of losing a skylark.
Again.
Ch. 3
-Time skip: about Ten Years Later-
"Dino..."
That voice
Dino knew it.
Looking up he saw the owl.
He sighed.
Ten years.
It's been ten years.
Since the skylark ran away.
Dino still couldn't believe that he had survived that long.
To be honest,
Dino was scared.
Everytime he tried to remember the skylark's image,
all he could remember was the owl.
The skylark was fading away
from
his
life.
-Somewhere wherever the skylark is...-
The skylark was losing.
The enemies were coming and going nonstop.
Fast.
So fast, that the skylark didn't even notice his life draining away from his cuts and bruises.
He didn't even notice
the chains wrapping around his body
or
the knife that hit his chest.
"Dino.'
"Yes Tsuna?"
"We found Hiba-"
Dino hung up.
He was going there.
Now.
The skylark lay on the ground.
Bleeding heavily.
Looking at the blood staining his fragile feathers
into a crimson red.
"Kyoya! No!"
Dino was too late.
His little skylark
had stopped singing.
