Chapter 3! Well, the votes have been tallied and as far as Hibari vs Mukuro saving Chrome, Hibari won...however, even more people either said they were okay with either one or they wanted both to play a part in it somehow. I hope my choice of plot will satisfy! Enjoy!
Dislcaimer: I don't own anything from Reborn!
Chrome just continued to struggle until the other two boys tightened their grips and everything faded to black as the white haired boy's hand moved towards her.
"Mukuro-sama..." Chrome mumbled as she fell fully unconcious.
Suddenly, footsteps were heard approaching. "What is trash like you doing in the halls of Namimori during after school hours?"
"H-Hibari Kyoya!" the white haired boy uttered as he backed up and his eyes narrowed. "What do you want, prefect?"
Hibari glanced over at Chrome who was still being held by the other two boys. "That girl...is a student here now. Therefore, if you are to spill her blood in these halls, it will only be troublesome for Namimori. As head of the disciplinary committee, I will not allow that," Hibari said, pulling his tonfas out.
"G-Gin, let's just get out of here...we don't need more trouble with the disciplinary committee," one of the other two boys said addressing the white haired boy, apparently named Gin.
"Shut up!" Gin yelled angrily. "If you're scared, then leave! Just stay out of my way!" he said, walking towards Hibari.
The other two boys didn't hesitate to flee after the death glare they received from Hibari.
"Why do you have to ruin everything, damn prefect!" the boy grumbled angrily.
"He," Hibari's mouth curved upward in its usual sadistic manner, "I simply won't allow anyone who disturbs Namimori's peace to go unpunished."
"Really?" Gin asked annoyed. "Or maybe..." he said walking over to Chrome, "maybe you just wanted to protect this girl!" he yelled, grabbing Chrome by her hair and pulling her up so his knife was pressed to her throat.
Hibari's eyes narrowed slightly as he raised his tonfas.
"Will you really still try and hit me with those when I have this girl?" Gin asked grinning. "You know I'll do it. I'll cut her if you even try to make a move at me!"
"And what makes you think that the girl was my concern in the first place?" Hibari asked apathetically. "Like I said, my only worry is Namimori's peace. Now drop the herbivore...or I'll bite you to death."
Gin looked unconvinced. "I still don't believe you'll attack. Just to be sure though..." Gin lightly pressed the blade to the side of her neck, just enough to draw a visible amount of blood.
Hibari's knuckles turned white as he tightened his grip on his tonfas, but his facial expression remained unchanged.
"You're pretty sick to just stand there like that, Kyoya. I mean, for me it would be expected. But you, well, I don't think it would make Nami Middle look too good if a student got all cut up because one of its prefects was too proud to drop his weapons."
Hibari's eyes narrowed visibly.
"Haha! See! That got you, didn't it!" Gin yelled in triumph. "Now then, just let me get back to my unfinished business with this girl, and no one has to know you were even involved. "I can even take care of her off school grounds if it means you'll leave me alone."
"Negative," Hibari replied coolly.
"What?" Gin shouted furiously.
"At this point, letting you go will be the same as defeat. It'd be no different from me giving in to one of your threats, which I refuse to do."
Hibari looked over at Chrome, "However," he began, "it seems that I won't have to do much more here, anyway."
Out of no where, mist began to shroud around Chrome's body as Gin dropped his grip on her and backed away. A few seconds later, Mukuro emerged from the midst of everything.
He reached around his neck where Chrome's blood was spilled. "My, my...who are you that's bothering my precious Chrome?" Mukuro asked venomously.
"Wh-Who the hell are you, pineapple hair?" Gin shouted in confusion.
A vein in Mukuro's head popped. "Pineapple hair, eh?"
He pointed his trident at the boy's throat, "I'm going to teach you, why you should never insult a person on their hair!"
Purple flames were emitted from Mukuro's rather 'pissed off' aura, and in only a couple of seconds, Gin was running away, Mukuro not even bothering to chase him.
"What a worthless brat," Mukuro muttered under his breath. "A total waste of my possession skills."
"Rokudo Mukuro..." Hibari stated, stepping forward.
Mukuro turned his head.
"Ahh, Hibari Kyoya," Mukuro began, "or...should I say, the boy who allowed my cute Chrome to get this cut on her lovely neck."
Hibari's expression changed just a little. He certainly wasn't expecting this sort of thing.
"Listen, boy," Mukuro said as a malicious grin formed on his lips, "as long as my dearest Chrome is attending this school, I expect you to protect her not only for your duty as a prefect, but for the sake of your own life. I definitely won't hesitate to send you to hell if you allow more harm to my dear vessel."
Hibari couldn't help but notice the way he referred to her as a 'vessel' that time.
"Now then, Chrome is tired. I expect you'll see her to somewhere that she can rest. Until next time..."
The mist faded once again, and Chrome fell unconciously into Hibari's arms.
"Nngh." Chrome grumbled under her breath as she slowly came to. "Where am I?" she asked herself as she stared up at a not so familiar ceiling.
"Herbivore, you're awake." Hibari stated.
"Cl-Cloud person?" Chrome said as she sat up on the leather couch she'd been laying on.
"This is the disciplinary committees special lounge.
"I see..." she mumbled looking around. The room was fairly plain with a leather couch, 2 leather chairs, a desk, and a table with a coffee maker and some mugs on it.
Suddenly, Chrome's eyes shot wide open and she reached to put her hands over her eye patch feeling that it was still there. "What happened to those other boys?"
"They were disturbing Namimori's peace."
"Disturbing the peace. Wait! Did you save me, Cloud person?"
Hibari just glared down at those innocent eyes of hers he hated so much. "That illusionist saved you. I simply transported your body here, seeing as how I didn't need you dirtying up Namimori's halls."
"I see...then, thank you anyway, Cloud person!" Chrome said with a small smile. Then she realized something. "Wait, Mukuro-sama saved me?"
Hibari just stared at her with no reply.
"Um, I didn't mean it like that. It's just...oh, that's where this wound must have come from," she said feeling her neck, "you must have tried to bite Mukuro-sama to death!"
Hibari inwardly cringed at this girl's stupidity.
"I did not bite that filthy illusionist. Never would I dirty my teeth with such..." Hibari shuttered.
"But, you're always saying-"
Hibari gave Chrome a stern glare before she could say anymore.
After a couple minutes of silent had passed, Chrome finally spoke up again, "Um, Cloud person, what time is it?"
"9 p.m." Hibari replied without looking up from the papers he had sat down to work on. "You were unconcious for about 4 and a half hours."
Chrome blushed and bowed her head apologetically. "S-Sorry!"
Hibari glanced up from his work for just a moment before lowering his head again and gave a sigh at her guilty expression, "Don't worry about it, herbivore."
Chrome lifted her head in surprise to his gentle tone while looking over at Hibari's form hard at work. Perhaps, she thought, he was a much more caring person than he let on.
"Thank you, Hibari-san," Chrome said quietly, as she gave him a kind smile.
Hibari gave her a slightly surprised look along with a blush so faint that it was gone before she could even notice.
That was the first time she'd used his name.
Yay, so Chrome finally called Hibari by his name! I really wanted her to call him Kyoya, but it just didn't sound as right in this part of the story. I hope this chapter wasn't too bad! I think I used it more as a filler to help build up to what more there might be to come for 1896 and maybe even some 189669 if I stick with that! I plan to work hard on sculpting this into a strong story, so until then, please read and give many reviews! I read over all reviews that are submitted, so if anyone has any ideas that they would like to give for the story I'm very open to listening! Thank you very much for bearing with me through this, ciao!
P.S. Does anyone have ideas on how I should work Dino into the story? I really love Dino and Hibari's "friendship?" if that's what you could consider it, and I think it'd be fun to have him in later chapters just to piss Hibari off and maybe play him into the role of a matchmaker?
