Alone

Hibari Kyoya felt…alone. Rukia had been absent that day, having caught a cold. So that meant that Kyoya was left by himself, lonely. Other than Rukia, there was never anyone else that he communicated with; or rather, no one else that he bothered to talk to.

Without his veggie-loving best friend (although he'd never admit those last two words), Hibari Kyoya felt incomplete. He didn't even feel like biting anyone to death.

So that's why, as the school day neared its end, he immediately set out to visit Rukia.

Despite what you all may think, Hibari Kyoya despised being alone.

Exactly 100 words. This one is definitely different from the usual fluffy, childish drabbles. I just felt like I had to explore an aspect of Hibari a bit more. I'm getting back into KHR! now, since I've joined a KHR! RP group on Tumblr. (I'm RP'ing as Tsuna, username is: vongola-tuna). My personal Tumblr is yoruxruki.

My brother had disconnected the internet for no apparent reason, so I decided to try and write some fanfiction. And I was pondering what to do for this drabble… and "alone" came up. I remembered when I saw these 2 certain pictures that were reblogged on Tumblr. One had different versions (5 years old, 10, 15, and 25 years old; about, since his real age has never been published yet, I don't think.) of Hibari flashing in and out. The caption was about how he grew up, always alone.

And another had diff versions of him as he grows up also, and he sits on towering stacks of "packages". The stacks gradually grew as he grew older. And those packages represented the negative feelings (I don't remember what the feeling was exactly, since it's been a while since I reblogged that pic.) that he tucked away… it was quite sad.

I'm glad that I had created my OC, Nakano Rukia, as Hibari's childhood friend. Being who she is, she accompanies Hibari closely throughout his life, and makes me hope and think, "Ah. Maybe this way, he won't feel so lonely anymore." Although you guys may think that's foolish that I'm thinking like this when Hibari is a fictional character. But through RP-ing, I think I'm starting to have more of an emotional attachment to KHR! characters, especially my favorites. Call me dumb, but I'll never regret that.
