Tada! New chapter!

I do not own KHR!


Different Worlds, One Love -2-

The usual bright and noisy castle seemed to have died down. In a room, all the inhabitants were there, looking towards the still unmoving young woman who had collapsed. The young leader of the Vongola family was there holding his cousin's hand. After the seizure, Soraoi hadn't been moving or opening her eyes, worrying everyone, especially after what Reborn and Bianchi had told them.

"It seemed that her mixed bloods are rejecting each other, I don't exactly know how it happened. But like most case, she has to choose. Either becoming a human or a vampire, she has to choose. If not, she cannot be saved." Bianchi said.

"She will die if she doesn't choose soon." Reborn added.

"B-But how? She never had any problems before! Sora-chan has always been energetic! This never did happen! Maybe she's just sick!" Reborn gave Tsuna a punch in the face as Gokudera fusses over the groaning Vongola.

"Listen Tsuna, do you think Bianchi and I would joke about this? We can't just joke about someone's blood rejecting each other resulting deaths. You have heard of this case before haven't you? This is already a common case, but in Soraoi's condition, her trauma would probably made it hard to choose." Reborn said.

"But Sora-chan is…"

"She'll manage Tsuna, Sora's not as weak as you thought. She just need someone with her, right Gokudera?"

"We'll take good care of her tenth!"

"That's right, Sawada! We'll take care of her to the extreme!" Ryouhei said, punching the air. Tsuna looked at his friends and sighed, before looking towards Reborn.

"… And why is Hibari-san here again?" Tsuna said, looking cautiously at the silent vampire.

"Just let him be, he has his own reason." Reborn smirked at the irked Tsuna.

"You know something I don't… do you?"

"Haven't I always, dame-Tsuna?" Reborn smirked as Tsuna huffed and sat on Soraoi's bed.

"Sora-chan…"

"Let's leave her alone, she needs her rest. I'll inform you quickly when she awakes." Bianchi said as Tsuna reluctantly left the room, being dragged by the others. Bianchi then glared at the unmoving Hibari.

"That means you too, boy." Hibari glared at Bianchi before jumping out from the windown.

'Interesting, just like what Reborn said' she thought before watching the still unconscious girl.

"Someone… please… help me…

"I don't want to hurt anymore…"

"Someone… please… Tsu-kun…"

"Anyone… save me… it hurts…"

"Soraoi! What's wrong? Soraoi!" Soraoi squinted her eyes open and saw Bianchi looking worriedly at her.

"Bianchi… san…"

"Thank goodness you're awake! You have been turning and mumbling in your sleep… you were calling for Tsuna, should I call him for you?"

"No, it's okay… I felt better, thank you for waking me up…"

"I know you should rest… but perhaps you need to stay up for a while so you wouldn't get anymore nightmares… I'll make you some food, okay?"

"Thank you… Bianchi-san."

"Now relax, little one." Soraoi nodded before Bianchi closed the door. Soraoi then looked warily around the big room; suddenly she felt so small inside and tears starting building up in her eyes.

"… I felt so small now…" Suddenly Soraoi felt someone from the window and held her blanket tight.

"W-Who's there?" Hibari then jumped back in from the window and stayed in the corner, staring at Soraoi.

"H-hello, Hibari-san… how is your day?"

"…" Hibari kept staring at Soraoi who smiled at him.

"Who are you?" Hibari asked, surprising Soraoi.

"I am Tsu-kun's cousin. I'm really sorry for collapsing earlier, Hibari-san."

"That is not what I meant, what are you?" Hibari saw Soraoi's eyes widening and her shoulder somehow relaxed as she smiled sadly and began fumbling with her blanket.

"I'm a bit different half vampire and half human, my mother and father's family have been enemies for generation. My parents didn't think they would fell in love and they finally had me. Tsu-kun and his family approve of me, but my parents wanted me to live a normal life, so they took me away from here. My parents died recently so I was sent back here back to the Vongola castle. People said it was an accident, but I don't it was mere accident at all… I'm afraid someone murdered them, since my parents were a disgrace to the family, they said. They accepted Tsu-kun because nonno (grandfather) had chosen him as the leader, I just hope people would think of me differently. If they don't, at least respect Tsu-kun for the kind person he is, not respecting him because he is the tenth." Soraoi said, her shoulders trembling.

"Do you realize what your body is doing to you?" Hibari said coldly.

"Yes, my bloods seemed to reject one another. I know this for a while already, but I guess it finally took its toll on me. I have been thinking… I don't want to choose either. I just wanted to die peacefully, I want to die, at least somewhere I felt safe… I'm happy now, seeing Tsu-kun finally being a well-respected person and I don't need anything else. All I wished for… is that this world to be peaceful and for everyone to get along…" Soraoi said, smiling sweetly at Hibari who scowled. How could this girl still be so bright and positive after what she had experience and how people treated her?

"Why?"

"… eh?"

"Why aren't you avenging your parents? Why do you just sit and smile?" Soraoi looked at Hibari's eyes as he scowled more at Soraoi's smile.

"Everyone has a reason, Hibari-san… and I know, my parents wouldn't want me to waste my time avenging them, they would probably want me to stay safe… but now, I just wanted to be gone… gone from this world, I wanted to join my parents…"

"… how pathetic." Hibari spat.

"Then, if you think I am not worthy, why bother asking me questions, Hibari-san?"

"…"

"But thank you, I can finally tell this to someone… I can finally have my burden lifted." Suddenly Soraoi felt her neck being grabbed and saw Hibari looking at her with hatred and rage in his eyes. Soraoi felt her air getting cut as Hibari lifted her up by her neck.

"Why? Why don't you feel any hatret? Why do you just sit here like a broken doll?" Hibari growled in anger. Soraoi then lift her trembling hands and placed it on Hibari's arm that was holding her up.

"… Because I don't feel any wrong… people are afraid of others, human feared the vampires and werewolves since they are stronger and more powerful. Fellow vampires and fellow werewolves can hate each other. People have a taste of fear in themselves, whether they feel it or not. It is something everyone has in their heart, they would only appear in specific time…"

"Then why don't you feel fear and hatred?"

"Because I don't like it… hatred makes my heart feel uneasy and fear make me seem useless… at least I don't want to be a burden until I finally left this world." Hibari then growled louder and threw Soraoi towards the wall, making a trail of blood escape her mouth.

"Then why don't you fear me? Stop smiling! What is the use of smiles when they don't do anything?" Soraoi kept smiling after she had wiped her blood with her sleeve.

"I smile… because I want to smile for those who cannot. I smile for my parents, I smile for Tsu-kun, I tried my best to smile for everyone. And I wanted to smile for you, Hibari-san." Soraoi said, making Hibari feel like gagging.

"I don't need your pity."

"You seemed lonely, Hibari-san. I just wanted to smile for you so you know I wanted to make you feel better." Hibari's eyes widened as fast as he regain his composure. Suddenly the door slammed open and Bianchi stood there with blazing eyes.

"You! What do you think you are doing to Soraoi? Are you trying to kill her?" Bianchi yelled.

"I don't have any interest in weak herbivores." Hibari said simply. Bianchi was about to jump on him before Soraoi grabbed her hand.

"It's okay Bianchi-san, we were just talking. There's nothing wrong with me."

"Nothing wrong? Why are you defending him, Soraoi? He threw you to the wall for goodness sake! And look at you! There's blood on you!" Soraoi smiled at Bianchi who now lowered her hand who were pointing towards Hibari.

"It's okay, Bianchi-san. He didn't do anything wrong, it was me who made him feel so disgusted, so it's not wrong of him to do that." Bianchi was about to retord before Soraoi lifted her hand at her.

"Let's talk… some other time, Hibari-san." Hibari scoffed and jumped out from the window. When Hibari landed on the ground, he heard Bianchi started scolding Soraoi and growled. How dare that woman interrupt him? And why is that wretched woman dare raise her voice to his… wait. His? Hibari then smirked.

'She's more interesting than I thought, perhaps another time' he thought before disappearing into the darkness.

"Are you alright Sora-chan?" Tsuna said worriedly when Bianchi had given him the whole story.

"It's okay, I'm not hurt anywhere." Soraoi said, smiling. Tsuna sighed and looked at the dented wall.

"Hibari-san shouldn't have been this way…"

"It seemed that I disgusted him, it's okay."

"No! It's not okay! He doesn't understand why you're like this, Sora-chan! He doesn't know anything about you and he doesn't have the right to treat you like this!"

"Thank you, Tsu-kun. For caring about me."

"Of course I'd care for you, Sora-chan! We're family!" a tear trailed down from Soraoi's eyes as she kept smiling towards the other brunette.

"Thank you."

"But Soraoi, are you sure about your choice…?" Reborn said darkly.

"For now, I am sure… I'm just waiting until death took me. I am very sorry, Tsu-kun, everyone."

"Why, Sora-chan? You know you still have us here…" Tsuna said as everyone in the room nodded.

"I know, I love you guys a lot… but I'm just… tired. I couldn't held my smiles anymore, it started to hurt to smile…" Tsuna felt tears in his eyes as he hugged Soraoi.

"Sora-chan… please re-think about it… please, I don't want to lose you too…"

"I don't know, Tsu-kun… I just don't know… I am sorry…"

"But please… at least be yourself once more for me, before you go… please be yourself…"

"I'll try, Tsu-kun… thank you."
