Kyon (Ryosuke): *Grinning* Lisa-chan does not own KHR, they belong to Amano Akira. But we as OCs...sadly do. *sighs*

Hey what's with the sighning!


Chapter 20: The Tales of Our Concealed Hearts Part 1: Alone/u

Lisa: Omae…*pushing Hibari hard into the wall*

Hibari: Che….

Lisa: Hn~ *sadistic feral smirk* Get ready for some painful punishment, Skylark~

Shin: YAMERO!


Have you ever felt…..alone…in this world….? So…cold and agonizing? Drape in this veils and chains of steel, I lay asleep; Waiting….waiting….for the true person who could revive me in to the light, away from this darkness. I always thought…She was the one who understood me, loved me. Yet….I wonder…if she will forgive me now….?

Shin: …*shaking; looking at his paws* S-S-S-S-S-Sonna?

Ryosuke: *touching her ears* …..A-Aiyah…..

Shin: What is going here…..why….am…I….in SHIN'S BODY!

Reborn: Maa Maa~ you look cute in that body~

Shin: *twitching* That's not the point!

Lisa: *yawns*

Kyon: *checking herself out* Wah….so nice….

Ryosuke: Ryo…..

Kyon: E-Eh? Nande, Kyon?

Lisa: Hora. *leans in towards Shin* It's not like the end of the world, Lisa.

Shin: But I got school! In an hour!

Ryosuke: I agree with Lisa, Reborn give us back our body!

Reborn: I can't.

Lisa/Kyon: …..The five year old Mafioso baby say…..WHAT...?

Reborn: You heard me; there is no reversing spell for the body swapping bullet.

Shin: You have got to be kidding with us…..

Reborn: I would love to, but no.

Ryosuke: *OTL position* We're…doomed….

Shin: D.O.O.M. Doom….

Kyon: K-K-Kyon?

Lisa: Sheesh, drama much.

Shin: Can't you be less sarcastic…?

Lisa: Nope.

Shin: May I remind you….I'm your mistress?

Shin: Oh, I'm so sorry~ *sarcastic smirk* But my mistress IS a human~ and you're well, a box animal.

Shin: *veins popping out* Shin…..

Lisa: *smirks*

Ryosuke: Wow….Dark much….

Reborn: Anyway, until the effects wear off your box animals will take the pleasure of going as you.

Shin/Ryosuke: NO WAY!/ I OBJECT!

Reborn: What's to object about?

Shin: That reptile will ruin everything!

Ryosuke: I'm worried Ryo won't be able to get use to the surroundings and most importantly….

Shin: We're on total opposite in personality.

Kyon: *looking at Ryosuke; teary face* Kyon…..you think that way…I never thought…

Ryosuke: R-Ryo, I was not insulting you or anything! I-I-it was just stating our personality differences, not criticism!

Lisa: Che, like I care what she says. It doesn't make any sense anyway.

Shin: *twitch* don't you know respect!

Lisa: I know respect when I see it, but for now showing respect to a chubby reptilian….Hmm….*cross her legs; smirks* I don't think so~

Shin: May I remind you…YOU'RE IN MY BODY AND I DEMAND THAT YOU AT LEAST TRY TO ACT FEMINIE IN IT!

Lisa: *blank look* …..This is my natural instinct….as a dominant….MALE.

Reborn: He has a point there, Lisa.

Shin: I never asked you!

Kyon: S-Shin….

Ryosuke: Now Now…let's just all calm down and figure this out.

Lisa: Tch, like I want to. *stood up*

Shin: Where are you going!

Lisa: Where else? To the so called "NamiChuu". *Turns to grab her bag*

Shin: Dame! *epic pounce on her; hugging her waist* Give me back my body!

Lisa: ….*sighs; easily picks him up; throws him back on the bed*

Shin: *lands on the bed; frown* At least take me with you!

Lisa: You'll only be a burden. Besides, *tilts her head a little; smirk* Plushies are prohibited in the school grounds, right?

Shin: I'm not a plushie! And I-

Lisa: Of course, you aren't~ But I think….you're not my "old" mistress….either… and….when I mean a burden. *narrowed eyes*I mean….a burden.

Shin: ! *shocked*

Lisa: ….Hn, Come on Ryosuke. *walks out*

Kyon: H-Hai! *turns and looks at Kyon and Lisa* Gomen minna. *follows*

Ryosuke: W-Wait!

Shin: Chotto! *jumps down the bed but trips over Ryosuke's tail* Kyah!

Ryosuke: Whoa!

*PAK*

Shin: *on top of Ryosuke*….I hate this….

Ryosuke: *underneath Shin* I agree fully with you on that.

Reborn: *sipping his espresso* Hn.


Near the side roads

Kyon: Shin….

Lisa: …

Kyon: Earth to Shin….Shin!

Lisa: I'm not deaf you know…..

Kyon: Mou, you were spacing out all the time.

Lisa: Which part of me looks like I'm spacing out?

Kyon: The part of you looking at the floor….

Lisa: …..I was just….checking the stability of the….concrete floor that's all.

Kyon: Yeah right.

Lisa: *stop; stares at Kyon for a while* …..

Kyon: What?

Lisa just stood staring at Kyon for a while then suddenly lifted her leg and stomped down on the ground. The impact caused a small earthquake to spread across the area, freaking Kyon out and losing her balance, dropping down to the ground.

Lisa: *chuckle* Yup~ its stable alright~

Kyon: What did I say about using our powers in the town centre!

Lisa: *frown*you never said anything, besides it's not going to hurt anyone.

Kyon: *pout; ears twitch and tail wagging* Demo, using the full power of our flames will result in disastrous effects and also make our mistresses mad!

Lisa: *tail wag* So what? It's not like we killed anyone.

Kyon: But people will get hurt!

Lisa: Then let them take care of it.

Kyon: But-

Lisa: Listen, Ryosuke. We had wanted this chance for ages now. We could run free in a body for once. Don't tell me you're going soft after spending time with those girls?

Kyon: N-No…I..I….it just…..*looks away*

Lisa: ….

Tsuna: *from behind* L-Lisa-san! Kyon-san!

Lisa: Hm? That….

Kyon: Sawada Tsunayoshi….

Tsuna: *panting* O-Ohayo….

Kyon: A-Ah, Ohayo….

Lisa: Tch…..

Tsuna: A-Ano, you girls are early today….

Lisa: At least we're not always late like some Dame student.

Tsuna: E-Eh?

Kyon: *covers Lisa's mouth* N-Nothing, Sawada- I-I mean Tuna-No, Tsuna!

Tsuna: *sweat drop* D-Daijoubu deska, Kyon-san?

Lisa: *pulls Kyon's hand away* What are you so afraid of? He's too dense to notice.

Kyon: Shhh!

Tsuna: E-Eh? *noticed their eye color* L-Lisa-san….did you cry?

Lisa: *glares at him* What makes you think that, idiot?

Tsuna: H-Hiee…..w-well….your eyes are red in color…..

Kyon: What? *looks at Lisa* It is red….

Lisa: So is yours, its purple.

Tsuna: U-Um….Masaka…..

Lisa: *death glaring at him* You got a problem with it, Decimo?

Tsuna: H-H-H-Hieee! I-I-Iieee!

Kyon: S-Sorry! But we got to get going! *pulling Lisa away* See ya at school Tuna!

Tsuna: *sweat drop; thought* What was that about…..? Their eyes….it's not black in color…Masaka…that…

Gokudera: Juudaime!

Yamamoto: Yo, Tsuna~

Tsuna: G-Gokudera-kun, Yamamoto-kun!

Gokudera: Juudaime, why are you standing here in the middle of the road?

Yamamoto: I thought I saw Lisa-chan and Kyon-chan, did he walk ahead already?

Tsuna: A-Ah, Hai. W-We better hurry too. *thoughts* Those two…


(Epic time skip~)

The bell rung in NamiChuu signaling the end of the day classes and time for recess, Tsuna was chatting normally with his three friends but his mind was focus elsewhere as he smiled accordingly to the subject being said by the chatty Yamamoto. He took a glance at Kyon, who was perfectly sat at her table, flipping through a book. Tsuna's eyes widened slightly. Kyon––reading. He could not believe his eyes, Kyon was usually seen head on table, while taking a nap after a long lesson. And unbelievable is the book in her hand, it was History! The subject she had shouted loud and clear to Lisa and him that she hated the most. While he was preoccupied with the "new" Kyon's behavior, Tsuna's mind suddenly flashed and started looking around for a certain long black hair female.

Gokudera: Are you alright, Juudaime?

Yamamoto: You seem to be very occupied with something, Tsuna. What's up?

Tsuna: Well….*points at Kyon*

Gokudera: That woman?

Yamamoto: Wow, Kyon-chan is reading. *grin* She must have gotten friendly with the books after all~

Gokudera: It's not that, Yakyu Baka!

Tsuna: A-Ano, Don't you feel it's strange? Kyon-san has been a little…too…polite and tends to call me by the wrong name.

Yamamoto: Isn't Tuna a good name~?

Gokudera: Stop insulting the Tenth you damn baseball idiot!

Tsuna: N-No, it's alright, Gokudera-kun!

Yamamoto: Ahaha~But its funny~

Gokudera: I'll blow you to pieces, you bastard!

Tsuna: G-Gokudera-kun!

Kyon: What are you guys doing?

Tsuna: ! K-K-Kyon-san!

Gokudera: *glaring at her while grabbing not Yamamoto's collar*

Yamamoto: Yo, Kyon-chan~

Kyon: *smile happily* Looks like fun. What you guys are doing~

Gokudera: Hn, did a crater hit your head, woman?

Kyon: Not that it hit your head first, Hayato.

Gokudera: Oi! Don't call me by my first name!

Kyon: Hn, fine. Goku.

Gokudera: It's Gokudera!

Kyon: *sighs* Okay, Okay….

Yamamoto: Are you feeling okay, Kyon-chan? You look a little….

Kyon: pale? Nah, I'm fine~ Anyway, did you boys seen S-*gives a light slap on her face then smiles back at them* I mean Lisa?

Tsuna: I-I-Is there something you need from her?

Kyon: Ah that…

Student I: O-Oi!

Student 2: I-I'm sorry okay! Sorry!

Gokudera: What the?

Kyon: Oh no…..

The gang walked out to find, very shockingly Lisa pinning a male student, looking more like a bully to the wall, smirking evilly at him. Tsuna and Gokudera practically jaw dropped at the sight while Yamamoto just blinked and stared.

Student 2: H-H-Hey! I-I-I-I was just kidding with the girlfriend thing!

Lisa: *fake bright smile* Oh~ is it now~? But I heard very clearly you say I was that "bi***h" who was the Skylark's honey?

Student 2: N-N-No, I-I-I-I didn't mean it!

Tsuna: *pale face; thought* L-Lisa-san wa…kowaii!

Gokudera: Did that woman drop into a nuclear reactor or something?

Yamamoto: Ahaha~ seems like Lisa-chan is playing yakuza~

Kyon: *looks at Yamamoto in disbelief; thought* I never thought the rain guardian was THIScarefree.

Lisa: Ho~ really? But too bad, this "bi***h" is not so weak and just like the Skylark. I beat the crap out of anyone who gets in my way, including some idiots like you~

Student 1: What's up with this girl!

Kyon: *pats Lisa's shoulder*

Lisa: Hm?

Kyon: I think…..that should be enough….?

Lisa: …Tch…*lets the boy go* you're no fun. *walks off*

Kyon: …..*watching Lisa walk off* Maa…..

Tsuna: K-Kyon-san….u-um-

Kyon: *smile* It's nothing, don't worry too much. She's just in a….bad mood~

Tsuna: S-Soka….

Kyon: *flashes another smile; looks back and thoughts* Bad mood, huh….you're so easily jealous yet… never admit it…..


*Near the hallways*

Lisa: Che….Nande…..We got what we wanted and that fox is acting all soft on them. *grit teeth* Damn it! *kicks a can*

Mayura: *walking down the hallway; barely dodges the can* Eep!

Lisa: Huh? Wait…isn't that….

Takashi: *inside the mirror* Are you alright, Mayura!

Mayura: H-Hai. *looks up; noticed Lisa* Lisa-san….

Lisa: …..*thoughts* Mata, che, might as well, listen to that naggy mistress and cowardly fox for once. *flashes a very tiny smile* Yo.

Mayura: Is Lisa-san out for recess already?

Lisa: Yeah, going to the roof. I need some…fresh air…

Mayura: I-I see…..

Takashi: ….*telepathic* Mayura, can you sense it?

Mayura: Huh? *nods*

Lisa: *narrowed her eyes* who are you nodding to?

Mayura: *shook up*N-Nandemonai…..

Takashi: *inside the mirror* Why that little- Mayura, let me out!

Mayura: *shook her head* Now is not the right time, Takashi-nii.

Takashi: But she-

Lisa: *looking at Mayura blankly* Ah, then I'll be off. *walks past her*

Mayura: A-Ano, Lisa-san!

Lisa: *sigh; turns* Yes?

Mayura: Um, well…about your….personality…um….

Lisa: …..I'm afraid I cannot answer your question directly, Fujisawa.

Mayura: E-Eh, Demo-

Lisa: And I have limited time, so is to my recess. So if you excuse me then. *walks off*

Mayura: Lisa-san…

Takashi: Must be that baby's doing again….

Mayura: Reborn-sensei?

Takashi: *sighs*


While the two box animals were enjoying their new body, some owners were not very cheerful. Back at the Sawada Household, two unfortunate owners were cracking their brains to dig out some ideas to allow them into NamiChuu. But practically every plan they thought of seems futile and has a high chance of backfiring.

Ryosuke: *throws another paper into the bin* Gyah! It's useless!

Shin: We still have to try!

Ryosuke: But for how long? All the plans we draw out are more or less useless.

Shin: Then…*rummaging through the plans* What about this?

Ryosuke: Unless you want to fly to the moon with that catapult….

Shin: Okay, fine. *rummage again* This?

Ryosuke: You still remember the last time that "nice" old lady found a bug in her bag?

Shin: Apart from saying Ew and running….she just threw her bag on the ground while stomping on going "DIE! DIE! DIE! YOU FOUL CRETURE OF THE UNDERWORLD! "

Ryosuke: Mmhmm… And the plan on asking TYL Lambo to bring us will only cause a rampage of a certain poison scorpion.

Shin: *sighs* I get it. We're doom.

Ryosuke: *looks at one of the plans* Ne, Lisa.

Shin: Yeah…..?

Ryosuke: Did you ever think….our box animals are pretending…..

Shin: What are you talking about…?

Ryosuke: Pretending to be happy….to obey us…when….

Shin: …


*Flashback*
Lisa: Come on, Shin~ Come on~ Fly over to me~!

Shin: ….

Lisa: Its okay….*pets his head* You can do it, but maybe we can try when you're really into it, ne~?

Shin: …..*tiny smile*…


*Another flashback*

Shin: *tugging on Lisa's skirt for attention*

Lisa: Shin, I'm really busy right now….

Shin: *growl*

Lisa: Shin, I'll be back later, okay~?

Shin: …..


Shin: No…

Ryosuke: ….Huh?

Shin: I think….we're the ones who done wrong….we neglected them, we left our attention to the ones and things we loved better, we treated them like weapons instead of something else.

Ryosuke: Lisa…..?

Shin: *hugging his chubby legs* Shin….he was once always….smiling…..yes, he could be very hard to comprehend and tolerate for once. Yet….

Lisa: But I think….you're not my "old" mistress….either… and….when I mean a burden. I mean….a burden.

Shin: …This feeling….of guilt….*muffles her head into her knees* Why do I feel like this….?

Ryosuke: ….*looks at Shin for a while then walks to the window; flashback*


~Flashback~

Ryosuke: *growling sadly*

Kyon: I'm sorry, Ryo. But I got to go with Tsuna on this, he is depending on me.
Ryosuke: *lightly tugging her skirt*

Kyon: *pets his head* I'll be home before you know it~

Ryosuke: …*force out a strain smile*


Ryosuke: *a shadow cast over his eyes*

Shin: They're weapons….yet in the same way…they are our partners…..in the darkness they lied all this years without the warmth of light, now…..we…..*squinting her eyes*

Ryosuke: …..Lisa…..

Shin: ….Hn…..*looks down* Now I understand…how he feels…..being left out…I'm a horrible mistress….*sigh*

Ryosuke: …*noticed a blue print on the ground; pick it up as a smile slowly creeps up her face*Ne, I think we should go give our box animal a good lesson on those feelings, shall we~?

Shin: Huh? What are you-

Ryosuke: *puts the blueprint on the table* let's execute it~

Shin: E….xecute it….?

Ryosuke: *grin* Let me present to you, Kyon's work of art~ *drum roll please*Delivery Delta Nami~!

*Awkward silence*

Shin: …

Ryosuke: *still in an epic pose* …Oh come on, give me some clapping or something. I'm being epic here!

Shin: Epic? Yes. Cute? Yes, very cute. But logical plan plus title, I think not.

Ryosuke: Hey, that's the only plan I got and actually works. I hope. And the title is all I could think of right now! Unless you want Delivery Code-Blue Pineapple.

Shin: ….I'll go with Nami.

Ryosuke: So, what do you say~?

Shin: …..I say….I would wrangle your neck right here right now for this….but…*smile* Let's do it~

Ryosuke: KA-CHING~! Then let's get it all ready~ I'll get the box~

Shin: I'll get the stamp and you sure it's going to work?

Ryosuke: Cross my heart and hope to- um….faint…?

Shin: *sighs* Wakatta….

Reborn: *standing near the door* Looks like those two finally understand something~ I wonder how are those box animal doing, ne Leon?

Leon: *nods*


Back at the rooftop of Nami Chuu, Lisa was leisurely lying on the ground, staring up at the clear blue skies. Her mind wondered across the wide scenery above her as she slowly stretches out her hand as to touch the fluffy clouds hanging suspended in mid-air. Her eyes watched mirthless at the movements of her flexing fingers.

Shin: *frown* What's wrong with me? I'm supposed to be happy….I got this body and I got freedom, I don't need that girl….I don't care…. *squints her eye*

Lisa: I'm not going to be controlled by some demon who thinks it knows me!

Shin: ! *covers her face* What the…..?

"Lisa: *smile*Come here, you little reptile~"

Shin: Shut up…

"Lisa: Gomen….I won't ever do this again….gomen….Shin…"

Lisa: Baka! I was the one who is suppose to-*realized the situation; grit teeth*Che!

?: Oya~ Oya~ are you getting soft like that fox already?

Lisa: ! That voice!

?: Yo~ It's been a while since we see each other~

Lisa: *stood back up; narrowed eye*

?: Aww, is this how you treat your old companion?

Lisa: You're not my companion, you're nothing.

?: Hn, now that's rude~ after all….*a strange blurry dark figure appeared behind her*

Lisa: !

?: You're still the lowest in the food chain, Denaro~ *pushes Lisa to the wall*

Lisa: Aah!

?: *smirk*So, you got a new name huh? From that pathetic mistress and quite an interesting body you have there.

Lisa: *growl* Don't you touch me!

?: Oh come on, we're best friends~ and our goals are pretty much the same~

Lisa: Sorry, but I don't cooperate with shapeless cloud and besides you're mentally
disable.

?: Ho~ *pushes him deeper into the wall* Am I~?

Lisa: *gritting her teeth; smirk* Yup, this proves it.

?: Hn, well aren't you the wise one. But….*leans onto the wall; whisper into Lisa's
ear* You're still as naïve as ever, little Dero~

Lisa: Get away from me, you prevented bird-brain!

?: Eh? *lift her chin up* But you look so interesting in this form, Shin~

Lisa: *death glares at him* Don't call me by that name. You have no rights to say my name.
?: And that little mistress of yours ethical to address you as that?

Lisa: ….

?: *chuckle* As always, Denaro. And I thought you were once better than this, where had your cold-blooded, animalistic nature that I had once admire gone too?

Lisa: ….I threw it down the drain along with everything else I did.

?: Deterred by fear and guilt….so childish and foolish of you~

Lisa: Hn, say all you want but you're going home- *frees her legs and does a swift kick* Empty handed!

?: *dodges but got some of his hair sliced; jumps back* As swift and accurate as ever.
Lisa: Tch, Leave!

?: Nuuhuh~ I'm here for a job you know? And my master isn't the very patient type~

Lisa: Then get your blue-headed bastard master out here and let me crack his head open!

?: On the contrary, I'll be the one here in place of my master….*smirked watching*
while watching you crack someone's head~

Lisa: Huh!


Before Lisa could react, she felt her whole body stinging as a screeching melody pierce through her skull. She could only slump down helpless in pain as she shut her eyes and ears tight to try to block out the sounds that were breaking her down bit by bit.

Lisa: T-This….hymn….

?: *Smirk; walks to her* Now….let it flow, dear Drago~

Lisa: *still blocking her ears and eyes*

?: *pulls her hand away* Let it enter you, let all this pain and sorrow fill your well being.

Lisa: *eyes start to glow; a black-rose faintly seen blooming inside her left eye*

?: *chuckling evilly* Welcome back to the world of Darkness. Dark Dragon Alato, Denaro ~
Lisa: *slumps down; struggling in vain to control* …..Tch…Go…menasai…Li…
sa…..*black out*

Kyon: *somewhere* !

Tsuna: Kyon-san?

Kyon: *shaking violently* Dame Da….he's back….

Tsuna: W-Who's back….?

Kyon: *clutching her head; closing her eyes; thoughts* Not good….how could you lose to yourself….Shin…


*In a moving delivery van*

Ryosuke: *inside the parcel* Oi, don't move. It's too cramped in here!

Shin: *also inside the parcel; veins popping out *Then what! I told you before, get a bigger box!

Ryosuke: I tried! But this is all I can harvest inside Mama's cupboard!

Shin: You grabbed a shoe box!

Ryosuke: And it fits, doesn't it!

Shin: Uugh! Let's just hope our trip isn't too-


"Lisa….run…"


Shin: Huh?

Ryosuke: What's wrong?

Shin: I….I just thought….I heard someone calling out to me…..

Ryosuke: Must be your imagination or we're just starting to hallucinate due to lack of oxygen.

Shin: Oh, don't give me that again! *thoughts* That voice…it sounds so familiar….I wonder…..Shin…


A dark threat had made its way to the heart of a Guardian beast's heart.

What dangers may lie ahead, waiting for the two body swap heroines and the others?

Will they get their body back and save the day from the disaster that is about to unfold?
And who is that shadow that addresses Shin as "Denaro"?

Next chapter, The Tales of Our Conceal Hearts Part 2: Resentment

Stay tuned to Glitch, Welcome to the KHR World~


There we go~ A chapter as a tribute for the box animals...Happy?

Box animals: *looks at the stories; silence*

Oh come on! I did my best! And there will be more as Shin and Hibari has the same-

Lisa (Shin): Don't you...

Hibari: Put me together...

Lisa(Shin)/Hibari: *death glaring*With that bastard/Herbivore.

Yeesh! Scary much!
