AiYui: Yoh~ and a good day to all~! :)
Ai: Hey, everyone! Do you want to hear a joke about Katekyo Hitman Reborn! ? Well, read the story first then await Ryumi's corner…
In this chapter, Ryumi experiences the boring day of a normal student… but something suddenly shows up, heating up the very plain day!
I wish that you would enjoy reading this chapter even if, as you can notice, Yui's still not here. I think I'm just low on self-confidence that's why I talk like this… No-Good Tsuna Syndrome?
As always, your comments are especially welcome with open arms… Oh yeah, girlpresses asked why Ryumi calls Kyouya a "crow" or a "cursed crow"… I'll tell you later. ^^ *grin*
~ Thank you for giving me your precious time to read this worthless (?) story…
~ Enjoy! :)
.
(Yellow Lies happened after the Varia arc and after the Who is Ryumi: an encounter story… yes, they are simultaneous in the timeline.)
+Chapter Three: Ryumi is at School!!
Ryumi stepped inside with a smile but someone suddenly got hold of her collar and pulled her outside again.
The teacher, together with the whole class, was surprised and curiously looked at to what was happening.
There they saw Hibari Kyouya holding Ryumi's collar (at the back) and glaring at them with dark aura hovering around him.
He closed the door and released his hold from Ryumi's collar then asked, "Have we seen each other before?"
This cursed crow! "Um… no, Iinchou… I don't remember seeing you before. We've just met each other today. Maybe it is déjà vu or you've seen someone that looks like me before…" Ryumi said while forcing herself to smile, even if the situation she's in is not something to smile about at all.
Kyouya's eyes narrowed. I know that I've seen this herbivore before… I can't be mistaken.
Ryumi avoided the sharp glare that Kyouya was giving her. Then he spoke again, sending chills to the "Mikura" that she is.
"I really warn you, herbivore… Go back to your class now." Then he silently walked away, bringing the cold and dangerous ambience with him.
I'm not a herbivore!! I'm an omnivore!!
...
Finally, Ryumi now enters her class without any interference.
"Are you alright? It's the Prefect that you encountered a while ago…" the teacher asked with concern. The students also wore a troubled and surprised expression, thinking about the fact that this girl survived the encounter with the President of the Disciplinary Committee. If only they knew what Ryumi had encountered before… :( (A/N: Read "Who is Ryumi: an encounter" I seriously advice you.)
"I'm alright, Sensei. There's nothing to be worried about…" she assured them with a sweet smile.
"Alright then. Again, class, this is Mikura Giallo, a transfer student from Italy…"
Giallo… I remember that family name before… Can it be?
...
She again smiled at the students looking at her. In the crowd, she saw the 10th Vongola Boss that she met earlier, Sawada Tsunayoshi; the Rain Guardian, Yamamoto Takeshi; the Storm Guardian, Hayato Gokudera… and Ogasu Hiroshi.
"Mikura-san?!" Hiroshi gasped.
"Oh, Hiroshi-san… We're classmates!" I didn't know that he studies here in Namimori Middle School… Tch.
Behold, Ryumi Giallo, who lives in Hiroshi's house, doesn't even know where he studies!
"You know each other, Ms. Giallo?" the teacher asked her.
"Um, yes…very much." she answered politely with a nod.
"Okay, then, Ms. Giallo, please sit at the vacant chair at the back beside the window."
"Yes, Sensei."
She proceeded to going to her seat, and when she passed by Tsuna, she snatched a sweet smile at him.
Tsuna, remembering that he met her a while ago, also smiled at her.
And this was noticed by Hayato.
No one gets close to Juudaime other than his right-hand man!
...
After sometime of participating actively in class, it was already break time!
Finally… Hearing those lessons again make sick… What a drag…, Ryumi thought while looking outside the window.
"Hey, Mikura-san!" Hiroshi suddenly called out to her.
With her head resting on her hand, she looked at him then said, "What is it?"
Hiroshi approached her then asked, "Why didn't you tell me?"
With an innocent and indifferent look, she answered, "I never knew that you study here…"
An animé sweat drop appeared on Hiroshi's head. Then he said, "Are you hungry? I'm going to the cafeteria (A/N: If ever there is a cafeteria in Namimori.) because Mother forgot to make my lunch. I can accompany you… together with my friends."
Ryumi shook her hand up and down. "Nah, I'm alright. Go on."
"O-okay…" he said with a bothered look and then went out of the room with his friends.
...
Ryumi crossed her arms, looked outside at the window with her head resting on her hand, crossed her arms again then finally rested on her desk. I'm actually hungry…
Then somebody suddenly asked her in a gentle voice. "You sent Hiroshi-san away even if you were actually hungry, right, Giallo-san?"
Ryumi looked at who it was and then saw that it Sasagawa Kyoko, the younger sister of the Sun Guardian, Sasagawa Ryohei.
She sat up straight and said, "Don't worry, Sasagawa-san… I'm fine."
Then they heard her stomach rumble.
"Is that what you call 'fine'?" Kyoko remarked with a giggle. "Here, have some…" then she showed her bento box and offered Ryumi food.
"You are so kind…" Ryumi said with a smile.
...
After that, classes resumed.
In the last period class…
I'm getting bored…, Ryumi thought while listening to the teacher in front. Slowly, so that the teacher might not notice, she turned her head to the window, and to the school grounds outside.
Then she saw something in the nearby tree all out of a sudden
"AOI!" she gasped while standing up facing the window.
The whole class looked at her, bewildered.
Then the teacher said, "Is there anything wrong, Ms. Giallo?"
"Ah!" she exclaimed. "It's nothing, Sensei. I was just surprised… hehe." she said that with a faked smile.
"And who's this 'Aoi'?" the teacher asked curiously.
What the heck… Why do you have to know?!?!?! "No, Sensei, I was singing when I got surprised. You know that, the song with the lyrics 'aoi aoi ano sora'?" she reasoned out desperately.
"O-okay, you may sit down, Ms. Giallo."
Whew. It's a good thing that I remembered that song…
...
Few minutes after, the class was dismissed.
Ryumi arranged her things in a hurry, as if she was catching up with somebody… or rather, with something.
She took her bag and when she was halfway across the room, Hiroshi blocked her way.
"Going home on your own?" Hiroshi asked her.
"Um, yes, Hiroshi-san… Please, don't block my way, I'm in a hurry…" she said with a worried face.
"If you're going somewhere else, please return home before dark." Hiroshi reminded her.
"Yes." Ryumi affirmed him. Then her tone suddenly became serious, the tone of the "Ryumi" she is. "Please, move."
Hiroshi got surprised. Why is she in a hurry? "O-okay…"
Ryumi walked on, avoiding her classmates that crowd at each other. It is already dismissal, so it isn't new at all.
She passed by Tsuna again. This time, he was with his Guardians.
Ryumi removed first her very serious expression then gave Juudaime another sweet smile. Then she ran away of the room silently.
"That transfer student keep on smiling at you, Tsuna…!" Takeshi remarked with a wide smile.
"Yeah… Maybe because we met each other earlier morning…" Tsuna related.
"That girl went to your house, Juudaime!?" Hayato exclaimed in surprise.
"No, no, Gokudera-san… Lambo fell on her accidentally… And then—" Tsuna started to tell them the story.
...
Outside, in the school grounds, Ryumi was running about with her hand on her skirt.
Where would Aoi go other than in the trees??? , she thought worriedly.
"Oh, Aoi, where the hell would you be??"
Out of a sudden, a bird repeated part of what she said.
"Aoi, Aoi." it chirped.
Ryumi searched for the bird and she saw it hovering above her.
She smiled at the sight of a very tiny yellow bird flying against the bright sun. She held out her hand and on her fingers, the bird perched.
"You are such a cute bird… added to that, you can talk!" then she looked around first to see if someone had seen her talking to a bird. Fortunately, she saw none for everyone is busy going home.
"So, little bird…" she started to say. "I know it is very stupid of me to ask you but…have you seen a black cat with unusually blue eyes?"
(So Aoi was just a cat… *sigh*)
The bird flapped its wings and removed its clutch on Ryumi's fingers.
"I knew it was stupid." she stated to herself with a sigh.
She was about to walk away but the bird hovered before her and flew in circles. It said, "Neko, Neko."
"Well, it wasn't too stupid, after all…"
...
She relieved herself with hope first then told the bird, "Let's go then, little bird. Please lead the way."
The bird flew for a moment around her then proceeded to leading the way where Aoi, the cat, was.
They went inside a certain building and proceeded to the staircase. Up and up they went until they reached the rooftop.
There on the rooftop, Ryumi did find Aoi, and that is thanks to the little yellow bird. But she also found someone… Thanks to the little yellow bird, Ryumi found danger.
...
Aoi was sitting comfortably on Kyouya's lap, who was then sat straight up.
Ryumi was astounded. Why the hell Aoi is there on that cursed crow's lap?! To think of it, it's a good thing that he still wasn't bitten to death yet! , she thought shockingly. (A/N: She calls Aoi a "he" even if it is an "it".)
The yellow bird flew towards Kyouya and said, "Hibari, Hibari!" then perched on the Prefect's outstretched finger.
And that scene made Ryumi particularly even more astounded.
Kyouya [finally] noticed the brown-haired girl standing stiff not very far from him. He retracted his hand, which made the bird rest on his head instead. He carried Aoi in his arms and went towards Ryumi.
He was glaring sharply with a very dangerous killing intent at Ryumi but she just avoided this. She doesn't want to fight… not in a school.
Then he asked her in his usual tone, "Is this cat yours?"
"Um… yes, Iinchou…" she answered politely.
Kyouya looked at Aoi first in its eyes. It meowed at him happily, as if thanking him for something good that he had done.
He smirked slightly at Aoi, then returned his facial expression to his usual one and gave the cat to Ryumi.
Ryumi's eyes widened and thought, Aoi, why are you meowing happily at that crow?! But she carried her cat all the same. She bowed then decided to leave the place… fast.
...
"Hey, you…"
Kyouya called out to her… and this means trouble.
What did you do, Aoi??? Or is it me?! She slowly turned around then said, "Y-yes, Iinchou?"
"If I were you, I won't let my cat roam around the school grounds. It may be caught by the principal or the teacher. Or worse, by someone who would like to kill it." he stated.
"How about the feared Prefect, will he punish Aoi?" Ryumi asked indifferently.
Kyouya twitched his eyebrow and narrowed his eyes.
Maybe it was better if I didn't ask at all…, Ryumi thought worriedly.
Kyouya smiled freakily then said, "I will not… because the cat is not the one in fault for roaming around the campus." he held up his tonfas then continued, "It is the owner that should be punished."
Ryumi got surprised by that then immediately sprinted out of the area.
...
Many minutes later, Ryumi was now on her way home. When she was about to turn in a certain intersection, someone suddenly said her name.
"Mikura Giallo… what a funny name."
She turned to see who it was. There she saw, in a corner of a street, a boy leaning on a wall.
It was the Storm Guardian, Hayato Gokudera.

Ai: Did you enjoy it?! Please tell me if you do!.
I sincerely thank those who reviewed (I think it's two… well, what matters most is that they appreciate my fanfic!), they boosted me up… The result is me making a [lame] joke.
To girlpresses: Ryumi calls Kyouya a "crow" or a "cursed crow" because his hair is colored deep black and he is—obviously—intelligent, like a crow. And I read a story before involving the crow, wherein it was colored white and was somewhat cursed…
~Could I tell the story?
It was back in the time of The Great Flood, where God punished the evil people by flooding the world to leave no trace of any human—except the only people that stayed faithful to him, Noah and his family.
To make it short, it was in around the 40th day [of the Flood] when Noah sent out a crow to see if the earth was already dry. (But in my Bible, it was a raven.) The crow didn't return after quite a time, so Noah sent out a dove instead. It was said that the crow and the dove met in a certain place, and the dove was surprised to see what the crow was fussing about.
The crow was feasting on the carcasses of the dead animals floating on the waters. I don't remember most of it but I think that they conversed for a while then the dove returned to Noah. The dove told Noah what he found out and that angered Noah very much.
And so, if I remember correctly, the crow was cursed and that explains why it was colored demonic black up to this day. (What an adjective…)
The Bible tells what the crow (raven) actually did to delay him from returning to Noah. It was said that it flew to and fro until the waters receded and dried up.
~ Remember that what I related was a legend and at the same time a very amusing story, so please don't damn me… I'm faithful to my religion!
Now let's return to the real fanfic…
I'm sorry if there are any out of character scenes and instances involving the original characters of KHR!... and if some information are wrong…
It seems to me that Ryumi's full personality has been shown in these past chapters… and that means that Yellow Lies is about to—
Ryumi: Ai-chan, what is this rumor that I'm going to host worthless peculiarities of yours about this animé?
Ai: Not my idea! *trying to look innocent*
Ryumi: *raises an eyebrow* Alright then, let's get to it; I have a lot of things to do…
----------------------------------------Ryumi's Peculiarity Corner--------------------------------
Ryumi: Why is it named like that?!?!
Ai: (Just go on with it!)
Ryumi: Alright, alright… First, all I do here is to read the audience's letters regarding on the strange things they notice in the animé. Remember: I'm here just to read and not to answer these foolish questions… *holds out a large placard*
"Disclaimer: Katekyo Hitman Reborn! nor its characters does not belong to us."
Ryumi: First letter, "Why is Mukuro's hairdo styled like a pineapple? From: --"
~silence~
*the stage dims and smoke abounds the whole area*
~: Kufufu…
Ryumi: Oh, it's Mukuro! *grin*
Mukuro: Kufufu… She knows who I am? Um, may I know who sent that letter, hostess?
Ryumi: There's no name but I believe it's from K--… Um, I mean I don't know.
Mukuro: Okay, I suppose I'll find him myself…
~Kufufu~
*the place returns to normal*
Ryumi: Second letter… It says that this is a joke… *reads*…*raises eyebrow* Who sent this dumb joke?!
Kyoko: (from the audience) Please read it, Ryumi-san… *smile*
Ryumi: O-okay… It says, "Do you remember that in Roman numerals, X means 10 and I means 1? Then hear this: If Juudaime has X-Burner, then what does the Primo have?!
I-Burner! You got that?! 'Eye' burner! From: --"
~silence~
~silence~
~silence~
Takeshi: Haha! Was that a joke? It sure was funny! *wide grin*
Hayato: *takes out his dynamites* And what's funny in that "joke" you dumb baseball freak!
Ryumi: Anyway, it was such a LAME and DUMB joke! Who the hell would dare send that here?!
Tsuna: But it wasn't that lame and dumb, Ryumi-san.
Ryumi: *feeling ashamed* It wasn't? … My impression in front of the Boss is ruined again!
Hayato: It wasn't, Juudaime? I'm a failure as the right-hand man of Juudaime!
Ryumi: *pissed off* This program is now on its end, goodbye, everyone.
And please await the next episode, "Hibari Kyouya and Mukuro Rokudo: Showdown!"
--------------------the viewing's cut off--------------------
Ai: Okay… Next time on Yellow Lies:
Hayato Gokudera interrogates Ryumi Giallo… Where would this discussion end to? And, await Kyouya and Ryumi's battle part two! Oh yeah, is Ryumi an animé freak, knowing the song Blue Bird by Ikimonogakari from a certain long-running animé?
Ryumi: Am I an animé freak?
Ai: Don't ask me! You are Ryumi… you should know.
Ryumi: Now that you say it, I think—
AiYui: OKAY! GOODBYE EVERYONE!!! SEE YA NEXT TIME!!! O~O
Ryumi: Don't you think, Ai-chan?
