Chapter 2
Disclaimer: I own nothing than my OC and changes that may happen in the story. Everything else belongs to Akira Amano.
This chapter will have events of different years, I tried to write like how infants would talk, since I was told that I was a really quiet child, I'm not exactly sure how to write children.
Aldo Adriano was never a religious man, heck he's in the fucking mafia. He killed, kidnapped, hurt people. He'd done many illegal things. He's currently a man with a high standing in a particular famous famiglia. If he was a religious man, he wouldn't be where he was right now.
He was cheerful, acted reckless, someone that wore his emotions on his sleeves. No one ever thought of him as dangerous, especially dangerous enough to be in the mafia.
Those were common mistakes that his victims would make. While he is someone kind, he is extremely loyal. He would do anything for those important to him, and the famiglia is something very important for not only him, but his wife too.
They decided to have a child, things were getting calm. So they did. However, he never imagined his child to turn out like this. He expected his new daughter to be childish, whiny, clumsy. He expected his child to be annoying as most children are, but he would love her anyways.
But his daughter was special. Like most babies, she didn't start talking two-to four- word sentences until around a year. But unlike most children, she picked up words and was already able to speak long sentences in Italian a few weeks after she started talking. He and his wife would often talked in English, in case that she would overhear their conversation and get involved in the dangers of the mafia. Much to his surprise, she understood. This infant, barely three years old, understood his conversation. But what scares him most is the answer she gave when he asked how she understood. "I dunno… I just do." She would say, her gray eyes showing confusion.
That wasn't the only thing, she is also able to do math problems, in fact his wife was curious and gave her math problems that are given to elementary kids. While her handwriting was horrible, as expected for an infant, she actually managed to do it. They tried harder questions, and after she answered it they would gave her harder questions.
It also didn't end with mathematics, she started drawing by the time she was 2. But unlike most children who would draw animals, stick figures of their family, flowers. She drew two girls, it was actually a good drawing, amazing for someone her age. It was a picture of two girls. One had long black hair, and the other had short black hair and glasses. Every time she finished drawing, she would cry.
("She's someone impowtant… I think…" she would say about the girl glasses with glasses. "She… I don't wike hew… I feew angwy wooking at her…" she would say about the other girl")
Not only that, she would draw the long-hair girl on a bed with blood, of two cars crashing into one another, and the times she drew the long-haired girl along, she would scratch out the face, scrawling out words (useless. die. gone.). And the nightmares. The goddamn nightmares. Sometimes she would make up in the middle of the night and start throwing stuff out of anger, and she was always scared looking at a car- crying the moment she was near the damn thing.
But every time he would ask, the answer was always the same.
"I just have this feewing…."
Don't get him wrong. He loves her, when she was born he would thought that she was a miracle, and he would always protect her no matter how weird she is. In fact, when she first showed that she understood English, and was able to do those math problems, he was proud of her. He thought she was a genius.
But if he was honest now, he was scared of her. She was mature, she rarely cries, she rarely complains when they're comes home late, she was understanding, and she was rarely fazed by anything. She was inhuman.
There are times when he would think he was cursed with this child for all the sins he has committed, and he would immediately feel guilty thinking that the moment he sees her. It seemed wrong to be afraid of this infant- to his own child, and that's why he would treat her the same he would treat any child.
Kiyoko Hibari was not exactly what someone nice, in fact most people didn't believe that she even had a child. If she were completely honest, she agreed to have a child because her brother had a son. She would never admit it, but she feels slightly inferior to her brother. He was better at fighting than her, and was a better strategist. So when she heard he had a son, she wanted to prove that she could be better in at least something.
But she never expected her child to be like this. She knew her husband was afraid of their child. And for good reasons too, if she was a normal person she too would feel scared. But she is a Hibari, she's not exactly normal. So to speak, her child is inhuman, her behavior was illogical for a child her age. She was too smart for a two year old, too mature. She understood things that she shouldn't have. But unlike her husband, she was proud of these achievements. Her child was a genius, someone that she couldn't be.
She wanted to show this child to her family, to his brother. That is why, the moment she reaches the right age, she told her husband that she would get her proper training of a Hibari. For she was her child, and Hibari blood flows within her, she would make sure her daughter grows up strong.
Alessandra Adriano knew that she was weird. She's seen the faces of her Papa, and while her Mama was proud of her, she didn't know how to feel. She couldn't remember when it started, but she always understood the things around her. When her parents gave her pencils and crayons to occupy her, it would as if her hands moved on their own.
She would always draw the same two girls.
(She would always hate the girl with the long hair. She feels angry every time she sees it. She hates seeing her so much, she starts crying when she looked at the two girls.)
Sometimes, she would always have these weird dreams. (Cars, blood, girl on a bed.) And she would hate the girl even more.
When she saw the numbers on that paper, she would somehow know how what to write.
15 x 5…75.
17 x 4… 68
13 x 9…117
"How did you know?" her Papa would ask. If she were honest, she doesn't know herself. Her Mama ended up giving her more papers, and she would write instinctively.
5281 + 4128…9409
232… 529
Her parents would always give each other looks that she can't understand.
She was scared of herself, she doesn't get it. Was it not normal? What was normal anyways?
"What should we do about the Arma Famiglia? They've been causing problems around here." She would hear her Papa say, she knew it wasn't the words they would normally say.
But she still understood what they were saying.
"I told the Ninth, for now we will have to continue to monitor them. Continue following them during the day, I will make contact the Ninth on what to do"
More often than not, they would be gone the entire day and arrive late at night, and she would be left with these weird people wearing suits.
"Make sure you keep her safe."
"Yes Boss!"
But she does know that they're in something dangerous.
The visions got worst. Before it would be of the same things, two cars, blood, the girl on a bed. Back then she would only have these dreams, these visions when she was asleep or when she was near a car. But it was different now.
She was almost four years old when she met her cousin. Her mom told her that he just turned six, and was around a year and a half older than her. He has short black hair, with a fringe that joins at the center of his face, similar to how her curly blonde hair has a fringe that also joins at the center. They also have the same gray eyes, though his are narrow like her mom. He held himself high, glaring at her. Though for some reason she's not scared of it, in fact she took it as a challenge.
His name is Hibari Kyoya.
Wait…
Why do I know that?
"Alessandra, this is your cousin. His name is Kyoya Hibari-"
At that her eyes widened, she was right, his name is Hibari Kyoya. How did she know?
"- he'll be staying here for a while to get proper training along with you." Her mother explained and left the room for the two children to get along better.
She took the time to look at him, while he continue glaring at her. He was wearing a white t-shirt, along with black pants. On his arms are two metal things, with a black handle that he gripped.
They're tonfas. They are his weapon.
She chose to ignore the thought, and beamed at glaring boy in front of her. "Hi Kyoya! My name's Alessandra, but its annoyingly long, so call me Alex!"
Kyoya glared and pointed the tonfas at her. "Herbivore, don't address me so casually."
His Italian had an accent, his voice filled with authority, and the glare intensify. Though, surprisingly even with the weapon in front of her she wasn't scared or nervous. She was actually enjoying it.
"Aw, but Kyoya," She said with a pout, the boy pressed the tonfa closer."If I call you Hibari, it'll be like me calling Mama."
The boy glared at her harder and pressed the tonfa to her throat.
(The long hair girl looked in awe as she turned a page in the book she's holding. There was a drawing of a boy that looked eerily like the older version of the kid in front of her. The girl turned the page, the boy destroyed an army of what seemed like ice puppets. He had a bird with a weird hair style. The girl liked the boy, she was in awe, she smiles when she sees him. "Oh wow, Hibari is amazing!")
Ignoring the sudden pain in her head, she kept beaming at the boy in front of her. Taking the arm that had the tonfa near her neck, she dragged the boy to her room. "C'mon Kyoya! You need to see our room!" The girl ran, and ignored the cringe coming from the boy.
Her teacher is a baby. She just stared at the baby in front of her and her cousin. The baby looks so much like her cousin, in fact he looks like if her cousin was a baby. Of course, if said cousin doesn't keep glaring at her and had a pacifier.
It's been two days since she met Kyoya, and ever since he found out that they shared a room, he kept glaring at her and would stay away. (Hibari hates crowding, he would attack people. Not for the first time, Alessandra ignored the voice. )
The baby (He's not a baby, he's one of the rainbow. Hibari is one of the clam. Her head would supply) looked like a calmer version of her cousin, but had a long braid. He was dressed in what seemed to be a red Chinese clothing.
"Hello, my name is Fon. I will be teaching the both of you for the next couple of months."
He's even more polite than them both!
Then again… Alessandra glanced at her cousin that kept a neutral expression. Anyone can be more polite than him if they tried…
The baby- Fon, glanced at Kyoya. "Ah, I see you have a weapon already."
"Hn."
"You don't seem to have a weapon?" He said when he finally took a look at her.
"You don't have it too," She replied, her brows knitted in confusion, as she pointed her slightly chubby fingers at him. The baby in front of her didn't have a weapon, so is it really important?
Fon chuckled, "I suppose you are right. Very well, since this is our first meeting, I will gauge both of your strength. Come, both of you attack me." He finished with a smile.
Much to her surprise, her cousin immediately sprung into action and attacked.
Fon looked at both of the children in front of her. One just turned six years old, while the other was four. Though he could clearly see the potential of the boy- those weapons were not just for show if what his father said was true- he was actually more interested on the girl.
He heard the stories from her mother, a child– an infant that was able to understand English, even though she never learned the language. A child that showed knowledge she shouldn't have, such as answering problems that she shouldn't even understand, a child that express emotions differently than most children her age.
He was intrigued when he heard about it, so he visited her when she was playing in a park.
A child playing alone, nearby a Mafioso looking at her. The kids called her weird, they were talking about a TV show and she said it was stupid. However, she didn't look sad. Playing near the swings, he saw her climbing the swing sets. In fact, she seemed happier now that the kids were away from her Fon noted. She would fall a couple of times, but she kept doing it anyways. Once she was bored, she begins to walk around and talk to adults nearby.
What Fon could clearly see is the fact that she would stay clear of cars. Not any other vehicles, just cars.
He wanted to see if she also had a weird affinity to fighting as she does with everything else. So he told them both to attack him, to gauge both of their current strength.
"-Come, both of you attack me." He said, and the boy immediately jumped to attack him.
So he knows how to use those tonfas. He thought as he sidestepped, and the boy followed up with using his free hand to launch an attack, which he blocked with his right hand, his left hand bent and placed behind the right hand as support. He's stronger than most children his age.
He glanced around the room and saw the girl next to him, in a form that he was familiar with –kickboxing- and she gave a low kick at his left waist, which he purposely left unguarded.
He let her hit him, and he was pushed a couple of inches back.
So it seems she knows kickboxing. How surprising, since her mother mentioned she never has any prior experience in fighting… He smiled.
She was caught off guard, but was able to recover quickly. She also deliberately stayed behind, waiting for me to leave a spot unguarded before attacking. Though, he glanced at his waist that received the blow her attack isn't as strong as Kyoya, but for a normal child it is still quite impressive.
A boy that doesn't doubt himself, has a strong attack and seems to be a natural born fighter. As well as a girl that is cautious, and knows the right time and place to attack. Both are clearly very impressive for their age, how terrifying…
But he didn't expect what happened next.
"Ow! Kyoya! What was that for?" Alessandra whined as she held her waist- it seemed Kyoya had hit her.
"Herbivore, don't get in my fight."
"Oh c'mon, it's not as if you're strong enough to actually defeat him."
Apparently she didn't mean to said that as her face immediately turn into one of shock. Meanwhile, the boy scowled, glaring even fiercer than ever before- which made the girl flinch. He lifted his tonfa at her and dashed in. The girl started running from the boy, running around the boy, which made the boy miss his attacks and landed them on the nearby table and walls.
"W-Wait Kyoya! I didn't mean it really! It just slipped out. But it's not exactly wrong you know?"
That was the wrong thing to say, both Fon and Alessandra thought as the atmosphere around the boy grew heavier, and he dashed at the girl even faster than before.
"Waah, wait, I give! I give! Ow! Stop hitting me! Ow! Kyoya, I'm sorry 'kay!"
Fon chuckled, though they were clearly talented, they still had ways to go before they could fight properly. He slowly moved towards them to break up the fight, where Alessandra had begin to fight back, kicking Kyoya's stomach and biting his hands.
A ferocious boy with great talent, and a mysterious girl with experiences she shouldn't have. This will be an interesting time for sure…
Alessandra is born on November 1, She is a year and a half younger than Hibari (Whose birthday is May 5). Currently the date of when Hibari first met Alessandra is May 10.
So the ages would be (If we're talking from the start of the series where Tsuna is 13):
Lambo: 5 (May 28th)
Tsuna: 13 (October 14th) – turns 14
Chrome: 13 (December 5th)
Gokudera: 14 (September 14th)
Yamamoto: 14 (April 24th)
Ryohei: 14 (August 26th) – turns 15
Mukuro: 15 (June 9th)
Hibari: 16 (May 5th)
Alessandra: 14 (November 1st) – turns 15
I don't remember Hibari's age ever being specified, but in the CD Drama, apparently he was already attending Nanimori Middle School when Ryohei first came there, so I think he may be older than the other characters, that's why he is 16. Alessandra is a year and a half younger, so by the time he turns 16, she's still 14.
I'm trying to make a timeline of the events, and to be honest it's kinda annoying since I can't exactly find calendars in Tsuna's room that would tell me of the dates…
So, I'm pretty sure Vongola was set up around 170 years before the start of the series (around 1830s), since Italy was unified around the year 1860s, which would explain Asari's presence as a guardian and explain how a foreigner like Giotto could have moved to Japan.
There was that chapter where they celebrate Tsuna's birthday along with Reborn's (Chapter 22), during the Daily Life Arc. Since it's already chapter 22 of the manga, I assume it has already been a few months since Reborn arrives to Tsuna's house.
I assume that the start of the manga would probably be a month or two after the beginning of the school year (Japanese school starts on April). Let's say that since Tsuna's mom got a call saying that Tsuna went home in the middle of the day 'again' (Chapter 1), that it's been 2 months. Because I doubt Tsuna would skip school in the first month of school because Japanese school tend to be strict about the number of absence. (My brother's school in Japan counts the number of absences using the hours of school and not the days, so I'm not sure how Nanimori Middle School calculate it.)
So let's assume that it's late June, meaning that Gokudera would appear a few days after that, let's say that Reborn came during 15th June, that means Gokudera must've come around the 20-25th of June, Yamamoto's and Lambo's introduction happened a few days after that so I assumed it's around late June to early July.
There is a New Years chapter (Chapter 31) so Dino's introduction is late into the year, probably late November to early December. Chapter 36 is the Valentine's Day (which mean it's February), and chapter 43 shows that they're looking at Sakura flowers (so it's around April), chapter 44 shows the beginning of Tsuna's second year, and then chapter 58 had the Summer Festival, meaning it's probably around June/July. So I think that the Kokuyo Arc starts around August or September. Meaning that Tsuna's birthday is probably around the Varia Arc, which starts at probably the middle of October and ends near the end. The Future arc starts a few days after that.
If my timeline's correct, that means that Tsuna's already 15 years old by the time of the Varia Arc, so the other's should've had their birthdays too.
And I'll end my timeline analysis there, I still haven't figure everything out, but that's pretty much the outline of the timeline. Sorry to ramble on and on ^^"…
As for the reason as to why I made Hibari related to Alessandra, is because Hibari is my second favorite character (The first is Enma), and I want to write Alessandra being close to him. However, I don't want her to be a love interest to anyone, and I can't see Hibari being close to anyone unless they've known him for a long time, or unless they're related in some ways. (Of course, he could also be interested strength-wise, but as you can see Alessandra is not exactly the strongest). I also made Fon related to Hibari (and to an extent Alessandra) is because: 1. They look too similar to not be related; 2. In Haru Haru interview 28 (Volume 31), when asked whether they are related or not, Fon answered that Hibari would be mad if he were to reveal their relationship. But he never denied the accusation; 3. And finally, during the Arcobaleno arc, I thought Hibari spoke to Fon with some sort of respect (The dialogue "Hey… a word, if I may").
Anyways, I wasn't expecting to get any reviews, so getting 3 reviews was the highlight of the day for me. I also didn't expect people to favorite and follow this story, so I feel really happy.
Thanks for those that Followed: Hyacinth97, KnightAngelSupreme, Madam3Mayh3m, MinatoLover1, and SkullMuffinGirl.
Thanks for those that Favorite: Al890, CrowsMelody, Hyacinth97, PyroKitsune, Samsara Amaranth, SkullMuffinGirl, and kanna-yamamoto.
For those that reviewed:
Hyacinth97: Thanks for reading! I'm trying to make her adjust to the world a little differently than most fics, so I hope you enjoy this chapter ^-^
Madam3Mayh3m: I'll try to make a schedule for this fic! Thanks for reading!
SkullMuffinGirl: Thanks! I'll try to show just how much difference she could make, and I'm glad you found the interactions entertaining!
I already wrote around half of the third chapter, I'll try to post it once I'm done with it. However, after that I'll make a schedule on when I will update, because school will start and I won't have as much time. I'm thinking maybe once a week (maybe during weekends). I'll try to make the chapters longer. Enough of this long Author's Note (oh wow, almost a thousand words), hope you enjoy the fic!
