Wow! I very happy that everyone seemed to love the story. I present you the 2nd chapter for Chrome Errand Boy: Our life!
Thanks to kaguya9692,DreamSugar, BlackAngel'sWrath, Nadifatheotaku, CloudyDays12, Iaf Aros, deadly-chronicles, Peppermint twertle, SnowxButterfly and Corvino III for reviewing!
I dedicate this to Deadly-Chronicle-chan. Do know that I pray for your success.
I do not own Katekyo Hitman Reborn. If I did, Hibari wouldn't be that stupid. That idiot... Though I approved the whole Varia are a family love! Xanxus pile-up!
Chapter two: My mother.
"O-O-K-Kaa-san?"
Chrome could only blink in shock as Hibari tries to fend away the woman who was ecstatically hugging him.
"My darling Kyou-chan! How tall you look now! Almost like my father used to look like." The woman drew back, pinching Hibari's cheeks in delight. "You're so handsome like Ren-kun!"
Kusakabe, who was going by to give Hibari report on afternoon's patrol can only stood by Chrome, staring as Hibari tried to move the woman's fingers from his now red cheeks. "Dokuro-san, who is that?"
"I think that's Kyou-kun's mother." Chrome whispered back, getting uncomfortable by the minute. She felt as if she was intruding on something personal but yet she felt a bit wistful. Her mother never do that to her.
The woman then realized the two spectators, turned at them, laughing brightly as Hibari rubbed his painful cheeks. "Ah, I didn't realized. Hello, I'm Kyou-chan's mother, Hibari Sara. Nice to meet you!"
"Ehh?"
"I'm Kusakabe Tetsuya, Hibari-san's s-classmate." Kusakabe introduced himself as they went into the house. Hibari stalked off to his room, muttering about annoying, overbearing mothers, leaving Kusakabe and Chrome to entertain his mother.
"I see! You must be Kyou-chan's best friend!" the pompadour haired prefect can only sweatdropped at the sheer airheadness the woman was displaying. He still can't believe the woman in front of him is Hibari Kyouya's mother. She seemed so young and too…different from her son!
"And you are?" Sara suddenly turned to Chrome, who looked surprised and a bit uncomfortable with the attention the woman gave her. "Don't tell me you're Kyou-chan's girlfriend?"
""Ah, um, eto, I'm Chrome Dokuro. N-nice to meet you, Hibari-san." She quickly bowed. Sara couldn't help but smiled. Despite of her odd appearance, she can tell the girl in front of her is a nice, kind girl from a good background. If this girl's Kyouya's girlfriend (and Sara has a feeling that she is) she totally approved of her son's choice.
"Ah, please call me Sara. Calling me Hibari-san makes me sound old." She laughed her bell-like laugh and quickly invited the two for dinner. With the earnest, bright gaze the woman was giving her, they couldn't help but agree.
At the Kitchen
Kusakabe was feeling truly uncomfortable right now. Watching the beautiful woman flitting around the kitchen and smelling the delicious smell coming from the stove, the pompadour-hair prefect could almost believe the house belong to a happy family.
If only Kyo-san stop glaring.
Chrome hovered by the table, watching fretting as the woman danced around her kitchen, as if it belonged to her.
Oh, wait. It is.
"Um, H-Hibari-san, can I help you with anything?" chrome asked at the woman opened the refrigerator, looking for milk.
"Ah, really?" the woman turned, flashing her bright smile at the shy illusionist. "Sankyuu then, Dokuro-chan. And didn't I tell you to call me Sara desho?"
"Ah, then, Sara-san, there's a carton of milk inside the groceries bag."
Hibari couldn't help but smiled (though not in front of Kusakabe, who looked quite ill with himself) at his mother interact well with Chrome. Maybe the night wasn't really that bad after all.
"Kyouya!~"
He take that back. Hearing the dulcet tone, Hibari immediately wanted to bang his head to the nearest wall; Damnit, he can feel his headache coming. "Let have dinner together!~" Dino Cavallone came into the kitchen, quickly followed by Romario, the former smiled brightly as he carried a box of mochi.
"Ara? Another friend of yours, Kyou-chan?" Sara turned, smiling at the blond Italian. "Nice to meet you, I'm Kyou-chan's mother."
"Ah, I'm Dino Cavallone, Kyouya's tutor-slash-friend," Dino bowed over her offered hand and delicately kissed her wrist. Watching from the sideline, Hibari fought the urge to puke and beat up the stupid horse in front of him.
"Such a beautiful woman." Dino sighed, "One can't almost believe you're Kyouya's mother. Why didn't you tell me?" he turned to Hibari, who rolled his eyes in exasperation.
"Why don't you two stay?" Sara asked. "I'll make some cookies and tea for you."
"Oh no, we can't," Dino said. "We can't afford to ruin your family time together!"
"No, it's totally alright! Besides, it's rare for me to get the privilege to meet Kyou-chan's circle of friends. Please, I insist you join us for dinner."
"Well, if you say so..."
"I knew it..." Hibari thought.
"Alright then! Let's go Romario!" Romario can only shake his head at the sheer glee his boss was showing and couldn't help but wonder how badly Hibari going to beat him this time.
"Oya, having a dinner party are we?" everyone suddenly turned to find Mukuro, in his full pineapple-spiked glory, leaning against the doorway. "I'm soo hurt, darling Chrome, for not being invited." He fake-sobbed as Dino patted him in the back.
"Ara, Kyou-chan, another friend? I'm soo happy you have so many friends!" The grey-eyed beauty clapped her hand in delight. Hibari really, really want to bang his head right now.
Nevertheless, it was a merry dinner.(For some that is)
At the dinner table
As Dino passed the salad bowl (Hibari inwardly was thankful the stupid horse didn't drop it on the table, or worse, on himself) finally ask the question that was in his mind ever since he met Hibari's mother.
"Ano, Sara-san," (here Hibari glared at the familiar tone Dino was using with his mother) "You seemed quite familiar for some reasons. I felt as if I met you somewhere before."
Hibari stiffened, cursing the horse. Please mother, don't say it…
"Oh, really?" the woman laughed. "It must be because you've seen some of my movies." Cue for several water-spitting accident all over the table.
"M-movies, Hibari-san?" Kusakabe asked weakly. Hibari sighed in defeat. The secret's out…
"Um! I think most of you are familiar with Chen Sara, the one acted as Shang Xiang in Red Cliff II? That's me!"
"Eh?" everyone, except Chrome, who stared at the woman wild-eyed, "You're Chen Sara, the actress in Magdara da Maria? I'm your number one fan!" Dino said in delight, his eyes sparkling unnaturally as he stared at the woman in front of him. "But, I thought you're Chinese." Beside him, Mukuro was nodding his head furiously. Figures the illusionist would be one of her fans.
"Ah, my real name is Hibari Chen Sara. Kyou-chan's half-Chinese, half-Japanese." Everyone stared at Hibari, who wanted oh-so-badly to go on a kill-rage right now.
After Dinner, at the Living Room
"And then KABOOM! That's how it ended," Sara said.
"Sugoi! I can't believe I got to hear the story plot of the next movie you're doing! Lucky!" Dino exclaimed.
"Yep, if I'm lucky enough, I might be able to get a few tickets for the two of you to see the preview," Sara said with a wink.
"Really, Sara-san? Sankyuu!" Dino cheered in delight while Mukuro was grinning wildly, he had really wanted to watch the movie for so long. Lucky!
"Young Master." Romario reappeared with Kusakabe in tow. "It's getting late and you have a class first period tomorrow morning. And the weather seems a bit ominous, young master."
"Oh, right! Haha, funny how time tends to fly when we're enjoying ourselves. Then, Sara-san," Dino rose from the comfortable couch, to Hibari's chagrin, kissed his mother reverently on both cheeks.
Mukuro, meanwhile, holding in his laughter at Hibari's sour expression, turned to Chrome. "Good night then, my sweet Chrome. I'll see you around."
"Ah!" Sara suddenly turned to Chrome, who standing silently by Hibari, who was glaring at everyone. "Do you need Kyou-chan walk you home, Dokuro-chan? I'm pretty sure Kyou-chan would love to do it, ne?" she tilted her head aside, staring adorably at her son.
Chrome stared confused at the woman, "De-Demo, I l-live here."
Everyone waited for the proverbial pin to drop.
"Eh?" Sara stared at the one-eyed girl in front of her before turning to her son in horror. "You being staying here with my son, alone? Ara!"
Hibari tried to not roll his eyes in exasperation at his mother, "There's nothing between the both of us, O-Kaa-san."
"Oya," Mukuro ignored Chrome warning glance, hell-bent on teasing Hibari, "I don't call sharing the same bed together nothing, Kyouya-kun."
Dino promptly turned to Romario, sobbing hysterically about "Kyouya all grown-up," "ascend to adulthood," "can't believe his student found a girlfriend before him" and so on.
Hibari bite down the urge to rage-kill the two idiots in front of him.
"Sleep...together?" Sara fainted in horror. Thankfully, Kusakabe was quick enough to catch her before she crash onto the floor.
Hibari turned to the two idiots in front of him; his expression was as dark as the thunderclouds outside.
"Kamikorosu."
Thankfully, the three of them managed to tone the screaming/yelling down.
LATER ON
After seeing Sara-san's exaggerated reaction, both of them decided to sleep in separate rooms that night. But yet…
Chrome opened her violet eye to see Hibari standing over her small bed. She smiled before scooting over to make room for the cloud guardian. Lying over the small bed, the boy wrapped his arms around the petite girl, breathing in the soft scent of lavender.
"Miss me, Kyou-kun?" in reply, Hibari pull her into his embrace. Lulled by their soft breath, the both of them fall asleep, holding each other.
Later, Sara, who wanted to check in the little girl who she quickly became fond of, couldn't help but smile as she saw the two sleeping together in the small bed.
"Ara, I wonder what Ren would think about the two of them?"
Done! Sorry for the lack of depth and humor in this chapter. :S
I know everyone would think that Hibari's mother would be a) a delicate woman or b) a scary tiger, but heh, I want to do a different approach on this. Lol. I hope everyone had enjoyed how I portrayed Hibari's mother in this story. And before anyone can say anything, I have a reason for it!
Chapter 3: Dinner at the Sawada's.
In which Hibari realized how long his mother is going to stay, everyone going to find out about his secrets and Reborn's actually his mother's fan? Eh?
Magdara da Maria (Maria Mad Tea Party) is actually a show where most KHR seiyuus, including Kenn (Dino's VA), Fujiwara Yuuki (Bel's VA) and Hidekazu Ichinose (Gokudera's VA) casted in. a worthy show to watch especially if you wanna see a Squalo's VA crossdress. LOL
