Title: Witchy Decimo
Summary: It all really started when the bird flew away again. That was when Mama made the call, her face shocked as she watched the bird that had been mauled by a cat fly away.
Notes/Warnings: Cannibalism in later chapters, casual murder, death, Addams Family Au with more murder. Look, this story is me going: How twisted can I be? It is supposed to be creepy and freaky. It is supposed to be gruesome. Please do not read if you are uncomfortable with this.
CANNIBALISM IS HERE.
Sasagawa Ryohei had always felt… hungry. He wasn't sure why, but he always was.
He ate a lot because of it, but he was just… hungry. Nothing filled him, nothing felt good.
Kyoko tried to help, she was such an extremely cute sister! But… nothing helped.
So he focuses on boxing, on fighting. He likes it, it helps, distracts him from the gnawing hunger in his stomach at times. When he fights, his soul feels like it's on fire and things are okay. He doesn't feel like his stoamch is moaning, he doesn't feel like his skin is crawling, he feels okay. He feels fine.
When he isn't fighting though, that's when the hunger gets worse.
Some days are the worst though, like today as he jogs around town, feeling his skin crawl and his stomach growl.
He wishes Hibari was back. He was fun to fight! But he mostly hung around these two young kids all the time. It was extremely hard to deal with!
Laughter reigns from an alley, voices mocking something.
"Without your big brother, whatcha gonna do!"
"Leave me alone!" a feminine voice cries out. Ryohei freezes. He knows that voice.
He knows that…
"KYOKO!" he screams, running into the alley, finding a bunch of high school boys tormenting her. They turn and laugh, seeing him.
"Look, it's the boxing freak-" they begin, but he throws himself at them, his heart pounding in his ears and his hunger burning in his stomach. He smashes into them, a snarl on his face and a growl in his throat.
It's when he bites down on an arm when one of the boys get a hold of him it all changes.
He bites down and the taste of the blood, of the flesh, floods him mouth and it's so good. It tastes so good, better then any cooking, better then anything he'd ever tasted and...
He's hungry.
"What the-" he hears the boys scream as he rips apart the boy holding him. He dimly hears his sister calling for him.
But he's hungry and this, this is what he needs. He barely realizes someone is trying to rip him off, lashing out and using a powerful punch to crush a chest as he brings down the teenager holding him, biting into his neck and ripping up.
"No, don't!" another voice joins in as he rips apart the teenager he bit, hearing him scream as he cracks his ribs open and reveals his organ, ripping them out and biting down, the taste making him groan, his soul singing.
"He's my onii-san!"
"And he's eating now. He might not be able to tell!"
"Are you like…"
"Kinda. Me and Takeshi. We'll help him. But… humans don't…"
"He's my onii-san."
Ryohei keeps eating though, helped by someone- who doesn't… doesn't make him hungry- slicing up the boys trying to run.
After he eats the boys, the blood on his face and his hands, bones cracked and the marrow sucked from them, he realizes a fluffy haired boy, a boy with a sword, Hibari and his sister are watching.
"…That was… Extremely good." He says honestly. Fluffy smiles.
"Come on, we'll talk with my mama."

A ghoul, Nana thinks upon hearing the story and letting the boy wash off. A ghoul who hasn't eaten his human family yet.
How… how strange.
She wonders is Kurayami has ever known something like this.
"What is a ghoul?" the little human girl asks, as her brother excitedly yells about having 'extreme friends' upon learning of Tsuna and Takeshi, the demon planning with the boxer hunts to go on, the boy having a small taste for flesh himself.
"Ano… a ghoul usually is an Other brought back to life by a necromancer wrong." Nana tells the girl, cheerfully. "But they can have kids and pass down the gene. They eat humans mostly." Kyoko blinks and bites her lip.
She knows it's wrong to hurt people but her brother needs it! He needs to eat like this, Nana-san said, or he'd get really sick! And momma always says that not eating is bad, so how hurt is her brother after years of not eating proper?!
"Nana-san, how can I help?" Kyoko asks, firm and with eyes flickering just slightly. Nana grins in answer.
Looks like her Tsu-kun got two Healing Souls for the price of one.

Interval
Akuma (Nana) was born to a Necromancer and a Human. She was born Other.
Her mother was horrified. All children are precious to Creatures, but… Akuma was Other, not really worth anything. Others weren't strong, weren't good enough. Her mother didn't believe she would amount to much.
(A witch child is born from Nana, and bitter pride resides in Nana's heart.
"Am I still worthless mother?")
Akuma barely remembers her father. He had been Human, and hadn't taken it well his eldest, Kurayami, was a girl, and not a boy like the lie the body told. Their elder siblings killed him.
Their mother blamed them, and left when Akuma was eight, and Kurayami was ten.
Kurayami is the best sister Akuma could have. No matter what, Kurayami has been there for her.
Even when anger resided between them.
(Nana will never forgive herself. Kurayami had lost her Leader, her Ruler, as well as her son, and Nana had been angry Kurayami had wanted to find her child, instead of going to a Human wedding.)
Akuma remembers wanting to be Human, fifty-five years old and silly, as she's courted by a handsome Human.
(It's after her sister loses her Ruler, her Leader. It's after her sister is broken, and she doesn't want that pain, she doesn't want to face it. She calls herself Nana now, and hides away from herself.)
Nana remembers faking the responses and locking up her reactions to everything.
Nana is Other, after all, she never had much power.
(Lie.)
Nana was sixty when she began to See things in the mirror Kurayami had sent as a birthday gift. She saw pieces of a future that could be, as well as others.
She's seen her son dead, seen him two hundred and alive, seventy and Human.
She's seen a man she barely recognizes hugging her sister, and then one where her sister is sobbing over a grave.
Nana knows things, she see's possibilities and potentials.
She hid the mirror and didn't want to touch it. She didn't want to see.
(Human, human, human. Her husband is human, her son… her son…)
When Tsuna raises the dead, she picks up the phone. And she accepts.
She isn't human. She has to stop lying.
It feels like coming home as she takes out the mirror, and looks.
Nana is Other. Nana is powerful.
She will never be surprised again.
And here is Ryhoei! He took forever for me to figure out what I wanted for him. I wanted something different then what we've seen. And then I read a crossover with Tokyo Ghoul.
Whelp, here we are. And Little Kyoko... I have plans for her!
Given the shortness, I added the interval to the bottom to give more info on Nana, as her background is a bit important for plot points. Hope you guys liked this!
