RECAP:"Are you really that desperate? If you think that acquiring my friendship would make me tell my reasons of leaving then---" this time it was his time to stop mid sentence. There was a short sound of poof as Riza was covered with a pink smoke. It may not look like it but Hibari stared in horror as he seemed to know what's to come next. He forced to clear the smoke away, fanning it with his bare hands.
As the smoke cleared, Hibari stared into big, wide cyan eyes. He felt a gush of warm blood into his face as he realized that the person sitting so closely in front of him is Riza…10 years ago.
"Eh? Hibari-san…What are you doing here?"
Hibari was left speechless as the young and innocent girl stared at him with her big cyan eyes, she was young once again, yet he had never expected for things to turn out like this. Why was she here, here in his base, here in front of him? There must be some kind of mistake; Riza's past self was there but why? These thoughts were racing in his mind, why now? Now of all the time she could appear, why now? How…Hibari couldn't figure it out.
What in the world could've happened?
YEARS BACK TO THE PAST… (RIZA)
"Oooh…I'm so tired…Running errands are so not cool." Riza sighed as she lazily walked down the empty streets of Namimori. She had just come back from Hibari's 'errand' to the next town to do unspeakable things , in payment of his services, or perhaps just being his slave for the whole week.
"Hibari should just go and die in a ditch where no one would find him as he rots to his bloody death and gets eaten by bloody maggots!!!!…ugh I'm exhausted." Perhaps her exhaustion has decreased her ability to think making her say things she never means. "…Bloody bastard!" Or maybe not…
And so Riza continues her ramblings on how Hibari's cruelness and evilness were slowly getting into her, taking over the warm feelings she has for him. And even though he knows about it, he continues to tease and turn her life into a living hell. Due to exhaustion she aimlessly walked her way back to the school where she tries to call home, though Hibari would always be there, she would desperately ignore his rude attitude and sarcasm…sometimes she wonders what she saw in him.
As she turns the corner towards the school, she had hit something or someone, letting out a pretty good scream…though it wasn't hers. She went to look at what she had hit and to her surprise it was the familiar red-headed male she had met a couple days ago.
"Eh...? Shoichi-kun!" she looked at him then at the small cargo he was carrying with him that now lay on the ground.
"R-Riza-chan...What are you doing here?"
"I could ask you the same thing!" Riza chuckled. Shoichi could only scratch the back of his head in embarrassment as he tries to make a small excuse.
"W…Well, I was just about to go back home…" Shoichi muttered; Riza smiled at him.
"And that?" she pointed at the cylinder shaped object, wrapped around with a white cloth. Shoichi couldn't help but let out a weird noise as he struggled to get back to his feet, scrambling to pick up the object next to him.
"Eh? What's the matter Shoichi-kun?" Riza asked as she followed Irie's movement with her eyes. His actions didn't make any sense; it was like he was hiding something that he didn't want her to know, what's there to know? To Riza, it was something she shouldn't be meddling with, but her curiosity was getting into her. Perhaps a small knowledge wouldn't hurt too much.
"Ne…Shoichi-kun…Can you please tell me what that is?" Riza asked sincerely, maybe to trick Irie to spill the beans. Irie once again scratched the back of his head, probably preparing to give her an excuse, a lie. Riza tilted her head, realizing that he probably wouldn't say anything, not yet anyway.
"….Well…" he started to say something.
"Mah! It's ok if you don't want to tell me right now…I wouldn't want you to tell me an awful lie just to keep your intentions from me…" she said as she smiled cheerfully, Irie chuckled awkwardly.
"Sorry Riza-chan…I can't tell you." He explained.
"I told you, it's ok…" Riza was just about to say goodbye, but Irie took off without even saying anything.
AT IRIE'S PLACE…
Irie opened the entrance to his house, just one of the area sides of the apartment complex his family was living in. The place seemed quiet and empty, it didn't surprise Irie that much, he assumed that his sister was still in school and his mother is probably at the store. He sighed; it was probably be better if nobody is home; peace and quiet he thought.
"I'm home! Mom…sis?" he called out, just in case that they're probably home. "Well…I guess nobody is home…" He went to kitchen, maybe his mom was there or at least his sister; it's not that he wasn't happy being left home alone, in fact he was so happy he would sing and dance. (LOL) Tired and anxious, he dragged his weary body to his room where he could finally get some rest and perhaps take a nice hot bath.
He entered his room, his only sanctuary, away from the crazy things that started happening after his encounter with that baby with cow-printed clothes…then there was Riza, who was one of them dangerous and crazy people.
"Riza…I wonder how you got involve with them…and Lambo-kun…" he thought out loud. Then he heard a loud rustling sound at his window, at first he thought it was just the wind from outside so he didn't think much of it and went to put the object he was carrying away in his closet. Then there was another rustling sound from the window again, but this time it was louder as if something or someone was forcing it open. He froze on the spot, due to being afraid he was unable to move to get some help or at least get away from there.
But it was already too late, by the time he managed to move his legs, the window slammed open, but what he saw left him dumbfounded.
Climbing into his room was a girl, but not just any girl; it was the girl he met. Riza Tanakuse. His jaws hanged open as he watch in horror as Riza cheerily waved at him and sat on his bed, feeling at home.
"Ri…Riza-chan! What are you doing in my room?!" Irie snapped back.
"Isn't it obvious, Shoichi-kun? I came here to take that 'thing' you were carrying around!" she smiled and said it with a straight face.
"EH? Why would you do something like that?!" Irie cried out. Riza only replied with a childish giggle. She jumped in front of him with her unfazed smile.
"Just kidding! Though if you told me what it was you're carrying I wouldn't come in here…" she made yet another 'childish' pout.
And so now, her curiosity had brought her to Irie's house, his room, in the room with her red-headed friend she had met just a couple days ago. The room itself, wasn't all too bad, it was small but was well maintained and cleaned. It didn't surprise her; Irie would seem like the person to keep his belonging well kept. Though, despite its cleanliness, there was a box that caught her eyes sitting on top of a shelf.
"Ne, Shoichi-kun…What's that box?" she pointed at the box, Irie followed her finger with his eyes.
"Uh…that's nothing really, some kid left it here…" he explained.
"Is that so?" she stared at it; the box has a certain insignia that she recognized but couldn't remember where she had seen it. It was just probably her imagination so she decided that it'd be best to just shrug it off.
"So…Are you going to tell me what that thing you were carrying?" she paused and took a quick glance at the clock. "I have to get back home soon…" Irie nodded.
"Well…If you really want to know what this is…promise me you won't tell anyone…"
"Sure! I promise I won't tell a single soul!"
Irie let out a sigh; he was convinced enough that she will keep her promise and won't tell anyone. He approaches his bed where the wrapped object lay, as he faces Riza, he unwrap the object revealing a canon of some sort, the kind she immediately recognized.
"Are…? Isn't that Lambo-chan's 10 year bazooka?"
"10 year bazooka?...Lambo's?" Irie muttered. Riza reached for it but Irie backed away to prevent her from taking it.
"Sorry Riza-chan…" Riza shook her head and turned away, as Irie started to relaxed she jumped in front of him and snatched the canon away.
"Haha! I wonder how you got a hold of this?" she lifted the canon up analyzing every details. Irie let out a whining sound and jumped towards her to get the canon back. Riza jumped back to avoid him. But just as she avoided him, she didn't noticed the pen laying on the floor making her step on it and stumbled down on the floor; as Irie saw this opportunity, he pounces on her taking the canon, as klutzy as he is, he tripped on his own foot, landing on Riza.
"AH! I'm so sorry Riza-chan!" he scrambled to his feet, grabbing the canon." But all the klutzy scene that just occurred were all witnessed by one certain person, sitting on Irie's window who happens to just follow and KNOW Riza.
"Wow…what a touching scene…maybe you two would be able to make a good relationship in the future…and you make very good couple." It was the fierce and violent prefect of Nami middle, Hibari Kyoya.
"Ah! Hibari-kun…what are you doing here?" Riza casually asked. While in the other room, Irie cowers in Hibari's presence.
"Tanakuse Riza…." Hibari muttered.
"Yes?"
"I'll bite you to death!" Hibari jumped of the sill and dashed towards Riza with his tonfas in hand. Irie saw this and he didn't want a fight to occur, especially not in a small space like his room.
"Wait! Please don't!" he was about to jump in front of them when again…he tripped on his own foot, his grip on the canon loosened making it fly towards Riza, when *POOF!*
Riza was immediately covered with a pink smoke and disappeared.
"Oh no…" Irie muttered.
"What did you do…?" Hibari muttered as he stared at the spot where Riza was just standing not too long ago.
10 years into the future…
"Well…that's what happened!" Riza smiled staring up the older Hibari who was listening intently at her story, though underneath he felt a deep hatred towards Irie Shoichi, who was undeniably clumsy.
"How about you Hibari-kun…how did you get so…uh…older?" she crawled towards him her hands reaching for his face. He wanted to protest but it was already to late, she was already close to him, her soft hands caressing his face.
"Get off me…I'll bite you to death." He muttered.
"You know for some reason…you say that, but your eyes said something completely different." Riza mindlessly answered back. Hibari grabbed her shoulders and was about to push her away when the shoji door slammed open. It was the bucking horse Dino.
"Kyoya! Is my darling sis--" he stopped mid-sentence to see Hibari with a younger Riza. This had made him explode like a volcano, triggering his ultimate brotherly complex.
"Kyoya you pedophile!"
