Chapter 4: My Past.
Hibari, after an initial clash with his adorable grandfather, decided to take a breather outside. There were too many herbivores and omnivores crawling all over the place, he can actually feel hives coming out. He shuddered at the slight reminder last time his hives came out.
He then blinked once before pulling out his tonfa, sighing. "Infant, for stalking my mother, I will bite you to death."
Reborn grumbled as he drop out of the tree he was hiding from, complete in his tree branch disguise and his Leon Binoculars and ran away before Hibari made good of his threat.
"Kyou-kun?" Hibari turned and looked up to find Chrome look down from her bedroom window, staring at him weirdly. "You're going to be late for school."
Hibari blinked and quickly look into the living room, staring blankly at the wall clock.
6.55 a.m.
"Damnit!"
Sara blinked as Chrome ran past her, dragging her satchel along. "We're leaving, Sara-san, Fong-san. See you later!"
"Eh? B-but I was going to ask you something." Sara pouted as she watched Chrome chasing her retreating her son.
Later After school, Namimori Chuu.
"Ne, ne. did you see the car outside?" Kusakabe look up from the students he was currently seeing a group of boys hanging around the window.
"Wow! The woman is so beautiful! Maybe she's related to Dino-sensei?"
"Might be. Must be her sister or something."
Kusakabe peeked from another window and almost choked on his spit as he stared at the beautiful woman leaning against the shiny Mercedes outside the school gates.
"Kyo-san!" both Hibari, who was doing another pile of paperwork, and Chrome, who was serving him tea, looked up to find a disheveled-looking Kusakabe hanging by the doorknob.
Pulling out his tonfa, Hibari stood up, "For making loud noises, vice-captain, I will bite you to death."
"C-CH-Chotto! Outside, Kyo-san!"
Hibari Sara was leaning against the car, smiling some of smitten boys surrounded her when they suddenly dispersed. The woman smiled in delight when Hibari stalked down, his expression would have frozen hell all over and back again.
"What are you doing here?" Hibari hissed angrily as he grab Sara's hand and drag her back to the car, Chrome silently followed them from behind.
"Ara, I thought since its after school, I was wondering maybe you two can join me for tea?" Sara smiled brightly as clusters of students were peeking by the gateway, trying to catch a glimpse of the mysterious woman.
"You're making a commotion here." Hibari gritted out as he tried to push his mother into the car, "Go home or I'll bi…no…argh!" Hibari nearly stumbled (emphasizing on the word nearly because Hibari Kyouya is too cool to stumble, lol) when Sara deftly escaped from his clutches.
"Oh, I see." Hibari felt something bad going to happen, especially seeing the weird, sly smile his mother was wearing. "Then Mama get to visit your school instead, ne, Kyou-chan?"
"Fine! I'll go to your herbivorous tea-party." Hibari climbed into the car amidst the loud whispers, a barely detected blush powdered his cheeks.
"Ah, I'm so happy, Kyou-chan!" Sara clapped her hands in delight before turning to the girl, who was uncomfortably playing with her bag strap. "Ah, would Chrome-chan like join us too?"
"Ah…Uh…But…" Chrome protests died as Sara enthusiastically push the girl into the car beside Hibari.
Closing his eyes, enjoying the soft breeze, Hibari almost grumbled when the car stopped. He opened his eyes to find the car stop in front of a well-known boutique in Namimori.
"Why are we here?" The cloud Guardian frowned as Sara ushered them into the shop.
"Ara, I thought your clothes seemed a bit inappropriate so I took you here so the two of you can change into something else." She happily pushed a couple of shirts onto Hibari. The boy pushed back.
"No. this is herbivorously ridiculous. I refuse to be paraded in front of those simpering herbivores you call your acquaintance."
"Oh, I see." Sara then turned to Chrome, smiling again. "Ne, Chrome-chan, do you want to see Kyou-chan's pictures from when he's a little boy? He look so adorable when he's young, almost like a girl!" To Hibari' horror, Sara actually pull out some photos out of her bag.
"Fine, fine! I'll change!" Hibari hurriedly went to the changing room but after managing to snatch the photos off his mother. Both Sara and Chrome can hear the sound of papers being shred into pieces.
"Ah, Kyou-chan is so cute when he's all flustered up." Sara giggled. "Don't worry, Chrome-chan. I have several more copies of the pictures if you want to see it. Now," Sara pushed a bunch of clothes to Chrome, "Let's get you all beauty up, ok?"
As much as he hated to say it, his mother do have good taste in clothes. Hibari tugged the purple shirt he was wearing with the black slacks, wondering where Chrome got to.
"Umm, ano…" shyly, Chrome stepped from behind the curtains, blushing. Hibari couldn't help but stare, Sara smiled satisfied at her makeover.
Chrome was wearing a knee-length black dress. Her pineapple spike were down and teased into simple wavy curls and she wore a coral choker and her Mist Earrings as her accessories.
"Ah, you look so pretty!" Sara exclaimed in delight. "Even Kyou-chan agrees!" both of them looked at the prefect, who looked away in embarrassment. "Now, what's left is to do something about that eye-patch of yours."
Chrome shied away, her hands half-raised to stop Sara while Hibari stop in front of the purplenette, blocking his mother's hand.
"Don't." judging from awkward tension and how clearly uncomfortable Chrome was, Sara decided to drop the matter but wrote a mental note to find out more about the issue.
Adjusting his Cloud Bracelet, Hibari and Chrome followed Sara into a chic café that overlook Namimori lake." Then, who is this herbivore you're having tea with? I don't tolerate crowding, o-kaa-san."
"She's just another acquaintance of mine. We currently acted together in a new movie and since I was in town, I thought maybe I could have tea with her."
"Umm, if you don't mind me asking," Chrome step up to ask Sara as the three of them moved toward the balcony where Sara had apparently booked that afternoon, "why did you invite me and Kyouya-san?"
"I just want to spend some time with my son and his beautiful girlfriend, so why not kill two birds with one stone?" Sara smiled as Hibird flew out into the balcony and perched on the railing. The woman sipping tea on the only table in the balcony looked up, smiling. Noticing the girl standing beside Sara, her violet eyes wide in shock.
"N-Nagi?"
"O-kaa-san?" Chrome stared horrified at the woman in front of her. Frozen in shock, Chrome couldn't stop the memories that threaten to overwhelm her. Hibari, who was standing behind her, can see how badly the woman in front of them affecting Chrome.
"I-Impossible! You…You supposed to be dead!" Tears ran down her violet eye as memories of her final moments as Nagi reverberated in her mind.
"You got to be kidding! Chop my own body for a child's sake? Ever since she was little, that child never made any friends. Nor can anyone figure out what she is thinking. It is not only me. No one wished for that child to continue living!"
Chrome pushed Hibari aside as she ran out of the café. Sparing a glance at the woman, as if to memorize her face, Hibari quickly ran out, chasing the crying girl.
Chrome was crying.
Walking into the park, Hibari wasn't surprised to find Chrome sitting near the lake, crying her eye out. Nudging Hibird, Hibari walked toward the girl as he watched his pet canary flew and perched on her head.
"Aren't you going to stop that meaningless activity?" Chrome looked in shock when a handkerchief was thrust into her hands. Looking up, she could see through her teary eye the boy was leaning against the tree. Hibird was chirping at her, lightly pecking her ears.
"A-Arigatou Kyou-kun." Chrome wiped her tears and helplessly wangled the handkerchief.
"So that's your mother?" chrome was surprised to find Hibari actually starting the conversation. She could only nod.
"Huh, she looked like a useless, wimpy herbivore." He sniffed, "You're better than the old hag."
Is…is this his way to cheer someone up? yet Chrome couldn't help but smiled, albeit a bit watery, weak smile.
"If you're done, herbivore," Hibari stood up, dusting his jacket (even Sara couldn't pry the jacket off him), "I'll treat you to something."
Standing up, she tentatively tug his shirt, "Can we get ice-cream, Kyou-kun?"
"if you make me my bento tomorrow and help me with my paperworks."
"Ok."
Bleagh. Sorry for the poor work. I think I botched this chapter. *sigh* I wouldn't be updating more until next week. I'm spending my weekend getting buried under my assignments.
