Alrighties, to clear up some confusion here, I did a time skip. (Since I was at a bit of a block and I REALLY want for Natsumiko to start making an appearance in this fic.)
Kyouta here is 4 I think?
Shikoushi is 3 years old. If anyone doesn't remember Shikoushi, he is Tsuna and Kyoko's son. Natsumiko is Haru and Hibari's daughter who will be born a year from then.
Sorry if this is too quick of a skip for you, but I didn't know what else to write for. Time for the next stage in life, toddler-dom!
Time Goes Trotting By
"Kyouta? Come here for a second." Haru's voice called out from the kitchen and a little toddler ran into the kitchen upon command.
A little boy of 4 years of age, ran up to his mother looking up at her with a curious look on his face.
His father was standing right next to her as well.
He usually wasn't home in the mornings. Something… was different, but what?
Was he in trouble? He obeyed all the rules though, there's no way he'd be in trouble.
Right?
"Kyouta… your mother and I have something to tell you." Hibari started looking at Haru so she could continue.
"You are going to be an older brother." Haru smiled looking down at her stomach.
Kyouta stared at his mother's stomach nervously.
He looked up at his mother and took two steps away and hid behind the dinner table.
"Y-you ate my baby sister or brother?" He whimpered.
Hibari sighed and shook his head while Haru just laughed at their adorable son.
She shook her head, and knelt down holding out her hands for Kyouta to run into like he always done.
Kyouta slowly ran towards his mother and launched himself into her arms.
"Kaa-chan didn't eat your sister. She is just inside of mommy for now. You will be a big brother one day and you will have to be a good older brother for her, okay?" Haru asked him.
Kyouta smiled at his mother and nodded his head excitedly.
"So, I'm going to have a younger sister? Will see look like Kaa-chan or Tou-san? I would love her more if she looked like Kaa-chan. Well, I'd still love her if she looked like Tou-san, but I'd definitely like her more if she looked like Kaa-chan." Kyouta said.
Yes, you got that right, no matter how many years have passed, Kyouta still harbors a bit of animosity towards his father.
Well, it was a bit better from when he was a baby, and it certainly was better than him trying to attack him in the future as well. So, supposedly Hibari could live with his son to a certain degree.
It still saddened him that his son was still a bit tense around him.
Things never change.
"Now, why is that, Kyouta?" Haru wondered, having thought that Kyouta stopped hating his father.
This was the truth of course, though Hibari somewhat refused to believe this as the truth.
"She would be cuter if she looked like kaa-chan right? If she looked like Tou-san she would look like me and Tou-san. What if she acts the same? I think a happy sister would be cuter than a cranky sister." Kyouta answered honestly.
Hibari just grunted, and grumbled silently to himself.
His son never was the type to hold back from attacking him verbally, was he?
Then again, he himself was no different. Hibari would always go on the offensive whenever he had the chance.
It wasn't so bad when Kyouta was still a baby, only able to say a few words.
He was able to speak a few sentences now.
"Can we get going now?" Kyouta asked looking at the time.
Haru smiled and nodded her head going to get her jacket.
"Alright, well I'll be going to drop Kyouta off at the daycare then. So how to you like it at the Day care Kyouta? You've been there for a week now." Haru smiled.
Kyouta thought about it and a big smile appeared on his face.
"I like it! It's a lot of fun." He smiled.
It was like seeing Hibari Kyouta, drunk, and extremely happy whenever Haru looked at Kyouta's smiling face.
Kyouta was already eligible to go to a daycare if he wanted, but the main factor for him not going to one until now was the fact that Hibari had to be very meticulous about what place to send his son off to and to ensure that everything would be safe.
Nothing was too good for his son after all.
Also, if something were to happen who knows what drastic thing Haru would do this time.
Above all else, like most men, their wives were their priority, however, like most women, their children were their own priority.
So upon finding a safe daycare that would provide a wonderful growing environment for Kyouta was finally decided after a very long time deciding and the two parents were finally able to decide on a daycare to send Kyouta off to:
The Newly established 'Namimory day care,' of course.
Naturally, Hibari would choose this place.
Kyouta was very excited about going to this daycare.
Unfortunately for Shikoushi this meant that Kyouta wouldn't be able to play with him anymore.
The two children surprisingly got along rather well while the fathers themselves had a very rocky relationship.
They perhaps took after their mothers' ability to get along with just about anyone.
So the mother and son pair had embarked on their journey to the daycare not too far away from where they lived.
Once they had made it to their destination, Haru had to check her son in so they had a record of when children came in and out. It was a very effective way to ensure the safety of the children that attended the day care.
Haru and Kyouta were at the front desk waiting for the receptionist to come back and sign them in.
She wasn't anywhere to be found at the moment.
Kyouta was looking around and he tugged on his mother's skirt.
"Kaa-chan, the lady is right there. It looks like she's talking to Shiko's mother." Kyouta said pointing over to Kyoko talking to the receptionist in another room.
Haru looked over to see that in fact Kyoko was in the other room talking to the receptionist.
Perhaps she was also going to be putting Shikoushi in the day care as well? She was thinking about waiting another year until putting him in though, wonder what changed her mind?
The door opened and Shikoushi was latched onto his mother's leg with tears rolling down his face.
"Kaa-chan! Why you leaving me! You're throwing me away! WAAHHH I'm telling Tou-chan on you!" Shikoushi wailed.
Kyoko sighed at her son's overactive imagination.
Her eyes made contact with Haru's and she smiled tiredly.
"So, you're dropping Shikoushi at the daycare as well?" Haru asked.
Kyoko nodded her head prying her son off of her leg and pointed to Kyouta who was standing there waving his hand at the crying child.
"Hibari-nii!" He shouted happily running towards Kyouta, lunging towards him at the last second to completely miss as Kyouta side stepped away from him.
"I don't know this Hibari."
"…/sigh/" Haru shook her head.
As a child, and even now, Kyouta hated the mention of the name 'Hibari' as his father is mainly referred to as such.
This son of hers and his peculiarities; if there was one thing he gained from his father other than his looks- it would be how stubborn and picky he was.
"W-wuu… Kyouta-nii?" Shikoushi sniffled tears rolling down his eyes.
Kyouta smiled patting the crying child's fluffy head.
Shikoushi stopped crying and hugged Kyouta happily.
"You see, Shikoushi has been really lonely without Kyouta around and he'd cry every day. So I thought I'd take him to the day care, then he thought we were abandoning him. I'm not sure where he got that idea though." Kyoko sighed once again.
Haru chuckled having an idea where he may have gotten such an outrageous idea.
Bet 'Uncle' Reborn was going to have a lot of explaining to do.
The receptionist made it back behind the desk, and Haru signed Kyouta in, and Kyoko signed Shikoushi in.
"Alright, you two, see you later. Be nice to the daycare ladies." Haru instructed.
Kyouta nodded his head with a wide grin on his face.
Shikoushi stared at his mother's retreating back, "Kaa-chan's a traitor! She's abandoning me!"
Kyouta laughed at Shikoushi.
"Stop crying so much. You'll turn out like your father. A no-good crybaby." Kyouta laughed.
"My dad isn't a no-good cry baby." Shikoushi huffed.
Haru and Kyoko shook their heads and quickly escaped before they were dragged into a bigger mess.
Hibari had constantly drilled some ideas into his son's head:
Tsuna= A no-good cry baby herbivore.
Gokudera= The annoying, stubborn herbivore.
Yamamoto= The herbivore that you must not play with as he will infect your soul and hypnotize you into thinking you are one of him. Apparently Hibari never got over that one babysitting incident.
Ryohei= The loud one.
Lambo= The other crybaby who has violent outburst.
"My father said he was one." Kyouta said.
"Nuh-uh! My daddy is strong! I bet he is stronger than YOUR daddy!" Shikoushi shouted.
Oh, now this struck a nerve with Kyouta.
"My father is really strong! I bet he could beat your daddy any day!"
It was the classic 'my father is cooler than your father' fight that every young male was bound to have.
"O-oh yeah? Well Uncle Reborn said that I'll be the next boss and you'll work for me! My father is also your father's boss! My daddy wins!" Shikoushi shouted trying to have the upper hand.
Kyouta glared at Shikoushi much like Hibari would to Tsuna on a bad day.
"What makes you think that YOU can command ME? Hmmm? Shiko My father only lends your father help. He doesn't do what he doesn't want to." Kyouta huffed and walked away to play with some blocks.
Shikoushi was all alone, playing with some jumbo legos by himself.
"Hey, so your name is Shikoushi?" A 6 year old boy asked.
Shikoushi smiled at the kid and nodded his head excitedly. He always liked making new friends!
"Oi! Oh, Shiko[1] what do you have there?" The kid asked again, snickering a bit with his other friends at the same age as him.
"Jumbo legos!" Shikoushi cheered handing some to the kids and they backed away.
"Gross, I don't want it from someone whose name is 'pee'. Ha ha! Pee-kun pee-kun! HA HA HA!" The bully started to laugh at Shikoushi, who was always really quick to start crying.
"Ha ha your parents named you pee! They must hate you!"
"I bet they put you here and will never come back for you!"
"Bet they hate you! You're useless!"
"I-I'm not useless!" Shikoushi cried. "Yes you are!" "O-okay…" Shikoushi didn't want to fight back against the scary older kids.
Kyouta was still playing with his blocks paying very little attention to the crying toddler on the other side of the room.
It was when the whole room full of kids were teasing him when Kyouta decided to take a stand.
Having a spat over their fathers or not, he was still a friend!
"Hey! KORA! Stop messing on Shiko! He's my friend got that!" Kyouta threw a block at the bully.
The block hit his head and he turned to look at Kyouta, picking him up angrily.
"Hey, did you just throw that at me?" He asked.
The whole room got dead quiet other than Shikoushi's constant crying.
Kyouta glared at the bully, not scared of him.
He wasn't scared of no bully, he got his courage from his father.
Kyouta also knew it anything were to happen, his parents wouldn't take it sitting down.
His mother was really nice. Probably the nicest mommy ever! When she was angry? She was really scary.
His father was also strong! So if anything were to happen they would surely avenge him.
So, no matter what he will win.
"Yeah, I threw the block at you. BA-KA. I'll throw it again too. Put me down you bully! I'm not afraid to fight you!" Kyouta shouted kicking him in the stomach, making him drop Kyouta to the ground harshly and the bully started to cry.
Heh, children bullies were so easy to tame.
"Hey, don't cry. Didn't mean to kick you that hard. You were being mean to my friend. You were also hurting me. Only self-defense." Kyouta huffed.
The kids started to whisper to themselves.
"Come on, play with the blocks." Kyouta pushed the older kid to the blocks so he'd start playing with them and stop crying.
Shikoushi ran over to Kyouta and tackled him down crying.
"I'm sorry! Our daddy's are both strong! You are the best nii-chan ever!" He cried.
Kyouta laughed, patting Shikoushi on the head gently.
He had his mother's compassion and his father's intimidating, persuasive nature.
None of the other kids wanted to mess with Shikoushi for fear they'd have to bother with Kyouta.
No one was going to have the guts to go against Kyouta either.
"Hey, I'm not going to hurt anyone. Let's all be friends! Until you mess with Shikoushi, then we have a problem." Kyouta said.
He looked around and he saw a big ball and he pushed it towards Shikoushi. "Pass it to someone else." Kyouta ordered.
"A-alright Kyouta-nii." Shikoushi looked around and he pushed the ball over to one of the bullies that were teasing him earlier.
The boy nervously watched as the ball rolled over to him.
"Play with us Nii-san, let's all play ball." Kyouta smiled at the older kid.
The kid just pushed the ball back to Shikoushi, the less scary of the two.
Shikoushi looked around and threw it to Kyouta not knowing who else to throw to, a bit too shy to throw it to the other kids.
Kyouta saw a little boy looking at the ball curiously and pushed it over to him gently.
The kid's eyes lit up with joy and tossed it to his little friend, who tossed it to her friend.
Soon, the whole room was playing ball, erupting the room full of laughter.
Everyone was getting along just great; at first the kids were scared of Kyouta, but in time grew accustomed to him and weren't so scared of him anymore.
What he did was very valiant and noble indeed for a friend.
They all seemed to look up to him now, just like Shikoushi did.
.:Later:.
Haru and Kyoko walked to the daycare together and they came to see an interesting site.
Kyouta was sitting in a big chair and it seemed as though a lot of children were coming to him for 'orders'?
It looked like Kyouya and his henchmen almost.
Oh, lord no.
"…Somehow… it seems as though Kyouta has become the ruler of the daycare." Haru gathered as the kids were all around him doing everything as he said.
Kyoko laughed nervously. "Ah… it seems as though… he really is like his father. A future delinquent in the making." Kyoko said.
Haru gasped. "Never! Kyouta will NEVER turn out like Hibari." Haru huffed. "Kyouta~ Let's go home now! We have to have a nice talk at home with your father!" Haru called out.
Kyouta turned to look at his mother and smiled.
He ran towards his mother and held his hand out for her so they could hold hands and walk home together.
"Bye Kyouta-nii! See you tomorrow!" Shikoushi waved at the two leaving Hibari's and ran over to his mom. "You came back!"
"I told you that you weren't being abandoned sweety." She sighed.
"Still telling Tou-chan." Shikoushi sniffled.
Sorry if it's not good. I tried. :/
I'm a bit tired right now with school and what not. I had my wisdom tooth pulled out a while ago, so I was full of medication so I was constantly sleeping during the last few days of my break, thus me not having updated anything during that time.
I had some free time now, and less medication in my system so I decided to take the time to write something out now.
[1]Shiko= It sounds like 'oshikko' which means 'to pee' so the kids made a small little pun on his name.
BA HA HA, Kyouta, will not turn out like his father. A bit similar but still quite different. Shikoushi is adorable. A mini over-reactive Tsuna. So very cute, right?
By the way, thank you to all of those who favored and have this story on alert. I didn't think that too many people would be interested in a non-cannon child of a non-cannon pairing. I was proven wrong.
Hopefully you can all continue to enjoy this project of ours.
Hopefully we continue to have fun with this Mi-chan! Fight-o!
Well, until next time!
