Chapter 2

X-X-X-X

On March 29, it was my birthday and while it wasn't a big affair, it was something I really liked since there isn't any training, no school, and complete and utter relaxation. It's also the one time of the year...where I'm taken to my father's workplace while Kyoya is at school and Mother is busy cooking. Since I'm not in school yet, I deal with my father and his bumbling group of underlings...minus one very special assistant and right hand man my father has. Said man is actually watching me since my father is nowhere to be seen.

"Tatsuya-san! I'm bored!" I complained lying on the couch on my stomach.

"I'm sorry..." I stared at the tall man with light brown hair and eyes. "However, Kouta-san is busy in a meeting today." Tatsuya said pulling me up into a sitting position.

"Tatsuya-san, I'm hungry." I said looking up at him.

"Do you want to go out and eat?"

"Un!"

"Alright, let's get going then."

I really like Tatsuya. While he's the same age as my parents, I found him really cool and handsome! If I was a lot older, I would have liked to have marry him. Although, the man only has eyes for my father...or so my mother says. The woman was probably right, but I wouldn't mind. I always played with the man and he was like another member of the family...well that and he spoils me. I get whatever I want out of him with just a smile~!

"Are you going to have dinner with us, Tatsuya-san?" I asked looking up at the man.

"I'm afraid not. This is more of a family affair. As a friend of your parents and your father's employee, I don't want to intrude." Tatsuya said patting my head.

"I like Tatsuya-san! I want you to come!"

"Thank you, but maybe next time?"

"Hmph! Then you have to eat ice cream with me today instead!"

"Alright, I can do that."

"Yay~!"

Tatsuya continued to watch over me until my father came to pick me up...literally. He came in, grabbed me by the back of the dress, said we're going home, then proceeded to walk out the room as if it was normal...well, it was, but still! I gave Tatsuya a hurried wave and he released a small laugh, returning the wave. Yeah...I really don't understand how my parents and Tatsuya were friends...weird, they were seriously weird.

"I'm hoommmmeeee!" I cried as soon as we returned.

"Welcome home, my beautiful night!" Mother squealed picking me up once she saw me.

Dinner was great, all my favorite foods and I was allowed to eat two slices of cake! Once dinner was done, it was time for presents in the living room. I received a photo album from my mother that consists of our family...and some pictures of a chibi father! Apparently, it was originally father's, but mother took control if it and now it's mine after she made copies of everything~!

"Thank you! I love it, mama!" I said giving her a peck on the cheek.

"You're welcome, dear." Mother said kissing my temple.

"Hn" Kyoya handed me a box wrapped up in light purple paper. "I got it earlier..."

"Thank you, I love it!"

"Miyako, you didn't even open it yet."

"I'll always love whatever Nii-san gives to me!"

"You're going to grow up into such a bro-con...maa, it won't be so bad..."

"Shiori."

"Let's see..." I opened the box and I stared at the notebook and pencils...which was all bird themed. "Yay! Thanks, Nii-chan! This'll make blackmailing papa's men easier!"

"Black...Kouta-kun..."

"Miyako."

"Yes, papa?"

"Remember to write in code."

"Yes, papa."

"Hah...Maybe I should buy Miyako-chan a camera too...Now, what about your present?"

"Hn." Father left for a few minutes before coming back with a large box...with holes on the sides. He put it down in front of me and I looked up at him as he placed a hand on my head. "Happy birthday, Miyako."

"What is it?" I pulled on the ribbon and the top of the lid suddenly was pushed up and I stared at a puppy...a German Shepherd with pure black fur and...he's so cute! "CUTE!"

"So, what will you name him?"

"Come on, come out!" I pulled the puppy out of the box, he's as big as me! "Er...ah...Takehiko! Take-chan for short!"

"It's a fine name."

"Thanks, papa!"

"Remember, this one is your responsibility. Miyako, you are now his parent. You will and must train and watch over him. Do you understand?"

"Yes! I know!"

"Ahhhh!" I noticed Takehiko make himself comfortable on my brother's lap after ditching me. "That's not fair!"

"You seem to have a bit of competition, Miyako-chan."

"Take-chan." I stared down at the puppy with a small pout and he tilted his head in confusion. "Nii-san belongs to me."

Takehiko only blinked before yipping at me. He licked my face afterwards and I pulled him away from my brother. Kyoya is mine, no one else's, he is mine! While I can't stay mad at the puppy, he must learn the rules that I set up! I bet father was really happy with my decision for a dog...and I bet he did it for another reason. If mother and brother cannot be there for me...then this little guy will most definably be.

X-X-X-X

I was wearing the same blue coat and yellow hat as the other children...not something I was very pleased about. To think...only a few days ago I was happy due to my birthday...yeah...not so much right now. Mother only released a small laugh at my behavior, soothing the pigtails she put my hair in.

"Come now, Miyako-chan. It won't be so bad." Mother reassured me.

"I don't wanna go to school though..." I muttered staring at the ground.

"It's preschool, not hell." Mother stated rolling her eyes at my attitude.

"Papa would probably beg to differ." He can't tolerate snotty brats after all. I recall one time one of his employees brought their son to work with them...and the brat tore up the shared offices and made a mess everywhere. "These...children...are drooling..." I stated pointing at the drooling child.

"That's completely normal."

"Crying and screaming." I watched as said children tried to cling to their parents, refusing to go. "Loudly. It hurts my ears."

"Very much normal."

"That boy has snot dripping down his nose!"

"Miyako-chan, there will never be any child better behaved and matured as a Hibari child."

"If I don't wish to interact with these children?"

"...I think you are spending way too much time with your father, young lady."

"Mama...!"

"Please, Miyako-chan, for me?"

"...Fine..."

"Thank you." Mother knelt down to my level, kissing my temple. "Don't worry, I'll take care of Take-chan for you. The three of us can even go to the park once you're out of school as a reward."

"Thank you..."

"Good, now then." Mother gave me a fake stern look. "Behave?"

"I'm always well-behaved."

"Miyako-chan, you know what I mean."

Mother left me in the care of a Suzuki-sensei. The woman was really nice and it was very clear she loved children from her attitude. I was in the Moon Class, which showed in the little badge I wore on my chest with my name on it. I was herded into a classroom with many other children and I began tugging on my hair, already bored. If I was at home, I would be doing the worksheets father gave to me or I would be training with the man when he was home. Suzuki-sensei gathered all our attention and told us to introduce ourselves and state something we like along with something we dislike. One by one, the children went through until it came to my turn. I sat up, dusting off my skirt.

"Eto...I'm Hibari Miyako...desu..." I was unsure what else to say. "Ah...I ah...I really like my puppy Take-chan, my Nii-san, and my mama and papa. I don't like carrots...and...I don't like getting dirty."

"Waahh! Miyako-chan is super cute!"

"Miyako-chan, you're really pretty!"

"T-Thank you..."

I'm not too sure how I should handle being called by cute or pretty by those blushing as they stared at me. It was weird when it doesn't come out of an adult. As soon as recess comes around, I found myself surrounded by the other children, all of which I politely refused. I did say I didn't like to get dirty, unless it was for training or fighting, I don't want to play. I went somewhere quiet in order to read a book, but I wasn't going to read it. I instead opted to observe everything going on and they were already deciding their social circles...yeah, not going to deal with it.

"Children are weird...reminds me of something I saw on TV. Something about herbivores gathering together..."

This also reminds me that my brother really took to that. He's calling those weak herbivores and the strong carnivores. There was nothing in between. Well, this does remind me of something...how I do refer to normal people as fangless or clawless. It was true, without fangs or claws, how do you expect to fight? You're pretty much useless against a strong opponent. My attention was drawn away when I heard...crying? Who could possibly be cry...oh, right, I'm beneath a tree near some bushes. I bet someone is hiding in there and crying, but who?

"Hello...?"

I shut my book, tossing it on the ground beside me. I went through the bushes to look for the person crying and I found him...crouched down with his hands covering his face. Wow, that's some really spiky brown hair. I took a look at his pin, he's from the Star Class. His name is...Tsunayoshi, huh? I got closer and I stared into wide brown eyes. Cute...! This boy...this child is really cute!

"W-Who are you...?"

"Smile for me?"

"E-Eh...?"

"I want you to smile." I knelt down in front of him, my hands on his cheeks attempting to get him to smile. "Will you or will you not?"

"E-Eeehhh...?"

The boy did his best to smile despite not knowing why. My eyes slowly widening, as if...a part of me recognized that smile. He was the one I've been searching for...he's similar to the person in my dreams! I wrapped my arms around his neck, resting my head on his. This boy...I want him. While I know it is wrong to own a person, I think...I will most definably be making the exception for him.

"E-Eto...wh-who are you?"

"You can call me Miyako-chan. No matter what, I'll be sure to protect you." I kissed his tears away and he turned bright red. "Okay?"

"B-But...why...?"

"Your name is Tsunayoshi-kun, right?"

"U-Un, Tsu-kun is Tsu-kun."

"Well, Tsunayoshi-kun, from now on...no matter what, I shall be by your side. I promise."

"M-Miyako-chan...promises to protect Tsu-kun...?"

"That's right. I want to stay by Tsunayoshi-kun's side to make him happy."

The two of us smiled at the other. Mine out of content...and his due to making his first friend even if it was a girl. Father and Kyoya...yeah, the two of us might end up killing him if they find out about him, best to protect him from harm and hide the fact he's there. Father might find out eventually, but won't do anything until he does something really bad. Kyoya...yeah, Kyoya won't care and will hunt him down.

"So, did anything good happen at preschool?" Mother asked watching me play fetch with Takehiko.

"Yup!" I said throwing the ball as far as possible.

"Are you going to tell me?"

"Nope!"

"A potential husband?"

"Nope!"

"Okay, so a new friend?"

"Yup!"

"How cute?"

"Ah...as cute as a kitten who finally opened his eyes, kind of cute. Maybe it is a kitten who is about to cry?"

"That's very cute~!"

"Okay, we played enough, right?" I wasn't speaking to my mother, I was ignoring her right now. "Let's go home, Take-chan."

"Ah, Miyako-chan! Please don't leave your mother behind!"

"Don't be so nosy then~! Also, if I'm going to marry anyone, it will be Nii-san! I will most definably marry him!"

"That'll be cute..."

I seriously think she would be happy if I could marry Kyoya and wouldn't care about whoever it is I would marry. Like stated before, my brother and father are the ones I have to seriously look out for. Best not to tell this blabbermouth anything. Also...I should make sure she knows I could go back and forth by myself.

Chapter 2 Ends

With Hibari being the way he is in the series, I seriously cannot see him acting like a normal kid. I can see him acting like a miniature terror while threatening anyone and everyone. Miyako would be more polite, but I can see her mentally threatening someone if they anger her enough. She's not stupid enough to act out her anger, but she is still a Hibari so she is bound to snap at some point and when that happens...yeah, there's going to more than a few people in the hospital.
