Lies that hurt
The Star of Blessing
Hi guys this is ChocoVamp sensei also known as Undying sensei~
This is a story that I read in a manga so if you read this kind of manga then you will know I got it from that….It's a remake version of it by changing it to khr…..
I don't know if I should say this is a moral fanfic or not but yea if I get a moral idea then well you'll see in the end of this story…..
Let's start the story anyways
This is a country that a star once fell from the sky to this planet called Earth.
It is protected by the sea and by a mountain range, towering as if in defiance to the landscape around it. Unnoticed, it came to be known among people as a mythological place….
People say, "In the farthest end to the west of the world, there is a paradise where the people beloved by God lived"
Even now they say in the castle there is a god that dwells, overseeing the whole country.
"This is the God's Miniature garden"
"It was a starry night when it happened.
There was a broken ship that landed on the land of god's people.
No one was in there except a man….with short messy jet black hair who had steel or metal cuffs on his hand…..He was just there laid down as if it was his fate to die…
No….I'll help him for it must be my destiny…."
One bright morning at the middle of the market there was a festival….
A blonde man yelled, "Go boy win Kora! You can do it!"
A blue haired woman, "Don't scream so loud idiot! If you do it one more time you're asking for a beating"
A green messy, spiky haired man," Fufufu boy if you win one more time it will be you're win for 10 times in a row"
"Wow so much people cheering for me! Thank you-ah!"
SLIP
"HA! Now I got you-!"
As the man tried to strike the boy a black haired boy appeared and took away his sword and hit him with his tonfas…. (We all know who this tonfa wielder is ^w^)
The boy opened his eyes thinking did he lose and widened his eyes in shock
"H-Hibari! Why are you here!" he was shocked but soon he flinched and noticed there was the money for the price that he stole and he gave it to the little flower boy that was next to him exchanging it for flowers…smiling nervously at the skylark.
Others murmured, "Who's that man?" "He's a foreigner that was washed out on the shore some time ago". So he's alive?". "It's true! His eyes are grayish blue and his hair is pitch black darkness"
What everyone said was true…Hibari Kyouya was a boy who drifted to this country four years….Here, where there was no relationship with other countries, his appearance seems so odd and exotic….(It seems black hair is weird while those blond, blue, red, brown, green wasn't)
Hibari was annoyed but didn't say a thing and walked toward the boy.
"Hibari, Your mood quite sour today!" said the boy
No reply….
"Oii! Hey you stupid-"
Before the boy noticed the skylark was in front of him….Hibari looked at the boy and touched his face…
"Herbivore what is this?"
"Eh?"
Hibari touched the little scratch that was on the boys face and glared at the boy's opponent with a killer aura…
The man was shaking in fear while the boy was trying to stop Hibari, assuring him that he did the scratch on his own…
Hibari smirked and pulled the boy and carried him like a sack of rice…. (You know…when you are carried like legs in the front while your dangling behind….) "There's an uproar at the castle because you disappeared so suddenly. If you wanted to see the festival herbivore, then you could have told me"
"WAH! WAIT A-HEY LET ME DOWN THIS IS SEXUAL HARRASMENT!" yelled the boy.
Hibari had an emotionless face asking, "What's sexual harassment?" he really didn't know….
Suddenly the boy French-kissed the skylark connecting together for some time and few seconds later answered with a straight face.
"This is sexual harassment". Soon he freed himself from the man's grip and walked away…Everyone was just staring…
Hibari had an emotionless face again thinking. "This is sexual harassment…..delicious."
He turned around and banged into the wall and had a flustered face…
As soon as he said that he looked away and went back to the scene and wacked away….Suddenly the flower boy ran up to boy and gave the flower and also said, "May the God's blessing be with you, big sis"
The boy smiled but in the inside he thought.
"All that I have is the body and this name"
At Hibari's area the market place with the festival
"…Festival for the creation of the country?" said a man. It took Hibari's attention….The man noticed hibari staring at him with curiosity.
"Boy you don't even know that?" It's a festival held once every 12 years to show our gratitude to the god."…Soon another man spoke up, "Ah! But the chosen one this time is Prince Tsunayoshi, so cute"
Hibari thought….chosen?...cute?
The man continued…"He is cute and so small as if he is a bright star in the sky, when he looks up at the sky there's a rainbow that forms above, and if he smiles other stars seem to blink in shame"
Hibari just stared off to space during that unneeded explanation until he heard shocking news.
"After all, those with a high enough noble birth to be sacrificed to the god are different sort of people. The God should be…immensely happy"
Long ago, there lived a monarch called the "Cielo King".
Tired to death by a long-lasting war, he managed to escape safety to this westernmost end of the world. But it was a land of barren sands, dead, and without even a single drop of rain falling from the sky. He was stricken with grief and despair.
That was when a "God" appeared.
The Cielo King didn't want to believe it was true but he was desperate and told the God…
"Please save my people!"
The god replied, "I will grant that wish of yours….but in return….
A sacrifice every 12 years…..
Hibari ran to the place where the boy always goes to…
He saw the boy at the grave with red flowers….The boy turned around to the skylark and smiled and told him the story above…
"The first sacrifice was the Cielo King himself. Next were his daughters. Then his son. Once every twelve years, one of the king's descendants is sacrificed. For the last 700 years, Enemy countries never penetrated here and we've enjoyed continuous plenty and peace. This is a stone monument for those who gave up their lives for the sake of the country. At the twelve years ago, my big brother was sacrificed….." Then Hibari continued for him….
"And now…..your name will be in the next engraved on that monument, will it? Prince Tsunayoshi."
Tsunayoshi just stared at Hibari with eyes that looked like it had no life in it….emotionless unlike the faces he show to his people….the people don't even know that the boy who was fighting 10 people was their prince…. Soon Tsuna started to talk again…
"Well…I suppose so." He leaned down on the grave once more…..
"My little brothers are less than 10 years old and in the royal generalogy tree, I'm the furthest from the throne….Actually, and it was my name that should have been engraved here 12 years ago. But they probably thought that I was too young…..and too unworthy, back then…"
"My brother had the same silver hair and eyes as the Cielo King. He was called his "comeback". Everyone thought that he would become the monarch to guide this country one day….But he became my replacement."
"In the end, it's still my turn, so he died in vain." He closed his eyes and sighed…"You make sure to come and put flowers on my grave at least from time to time-"
Suddenly Hibari spoke out, "Do you think….I'll let you die before me Herbivore?"
"Hibari, you….wouldn't happen to be secretly a prince from one of the great countries on the continent or something, would you?"
"Huh? Secretly?"
"Long ago my brother said….
"A treasure will drift ashore after a storm at sea.
His eyes, even his speech are different from ours…..and he came from a country without a god"
"If the land over that sea is so rich, then one day I want to see the country where you were born, Hibari."
There was a moment of silence and then in grimace Hibari answered.
"Impossible"
Those word angered Tsuna…"Sheesh I know I know.."
"There's no ship that would stand the storm-waves of the open sea. If you try going over the mountain, they are frozen for eternity in deep ice…although tanks to that, the enemy countries can't invade that way"
"So you say that even if we get out of the castle, were still trapped in a birdcage eh-!"
Suddenly some people in sacred robes appeared…..
"Your highness" said the one who looked like he was the eldest also the leader of it….
"Ah….The chief priest is here himself to take me." Snickered Tsuna…. "Don't worry I just came to say my final farewells to my brother…."
Hibari was shocked…"Herbivore-!"
THUD!
Hibari couldn't find strength to put himself up….He looked down panting…Tsuna looked at the skylark and then looked away and walked toward the elders….
"It can't be helped. This country knows of no other way to exist but to depend on the "God's" blessing."
(Hibari's thoughts)
A sweet aroma….is numbing my senses…
Was it the kiss that he did to me….was there something?
(Outside of Hibari's thoughts now)
"HERBIVORE!"
Tsuna didn't stop walking but did turn around and said…..
After all….
If I told you…I wanted you to take me and run away with me….
You'd find a way to make that possible….
Wouldn't you?
In a dark confined room…
One of the elder said, "Tsunayoshi-sama, we will come for you later"…
Thud….the door closed….
Tsuna thought about his memories…..
That was the first time I escaped the castle ever since I was born…..
There was you…Hibari…lying on the sand of the shore with chain cuffs…..
I looked at you who looked dead…..took out my sword and….
STAB!
The chains broke….
I told you "Now you are free like a skylark"
And you said…"Hibari?"
I smiled and told you, "You are free to go wherever you please, do whatever you like.
Just do what you want to do….."
Tsuna chuckled at his memories…..
Outside….
"What do you plan to do about that man?"
"I wonder why his Majesty appointed that man as Prince Tsunayoshi's guardian."
"He can't let him roam free in the city…but the truth is I regret getting rid of him."
"CHIEF PRIEST? It is exactly because you say such half-hearted things that problems occur! We cannot let outsiders dirty the royal blood-line anymore…."
"So? Are you saying that only the king's blood is good enough?"
"What?"
"If only she had given birth before the ritual, we wouldn't have to worry about the next sacrifice-! WHAT ITS YOU-UGH!"
THUD….
At Tsuna's area….
"Damn this is too heavy…"
"Shall I assist you"
!
THUD!
"Che….Damn Verde and Shamal…..They said such a dose would put to sleep even a buffalo for a day!"
"Your admirable behavior was too suspicious so I couldn't help but be on my guard."
"OII WHAT DOES THAT SUPPOSE TO MEAN!"
Moment of silence…
Tsuna sighed…"Anyways good job finding me here."
"His Majesty told me to take you wherever you want to go."
"My father?"
(Tsuna's thought…)
Huh? He's hurt…..The only one that can hurt Hibari is…..Don't tell me…..he did this to himself to free from the sleep?
(Outside the thought now)
Hibari just smirked and whispered into Tsuna's ears…
We can run away you know
Tsuna was lost in his thoughts… until he got his senses back together….
"Who are you TALKING TO YOU SUPER MASOCHIST?" as Tsuna said that he squeezed the injury that hibari had which caused hibari to be in pain wondering wtf is a masochist…
"If a person who stabs himself isn't a super masochist then who is?" Tsuna yelled and nagged and suddenly a serious face appeared on the boy and asked Hibari
"Why are you going this far for me?"
As they went down the staircase Tsuna's thoughts (which are in italics) and outside talk was mixed up….
If I run away, father will be the next here. Next will be one of my younger brothers or their children….over and over again…Just like my big brother Giotto…
I don't want anyone to replace me anymore…..
"Because of father's order? Because you are my guardian or is it because I picked you up that time?" said Tsuna….But suddenly Hibari replied….
"You said it….You told me to do what I wanted to do….That day when you saved me….and gave me a name…I earned my freedom….(LOL when Tsuna said you are free like a skylark he thought Hibari which is Japanese of hibari was his new name given to him….)…" Then lastly what made Tsuna's heart tighten was…. When hibari said,
"Do I need a reason to protect you?"
Tsuna gripped his shirt and replied….
"That's why…I hated it. This country was my everything. But when you appeared, the world expanded…."
"You are free"…..those words I told you….
I realized after that I was not free…
I was trapped..
I was convinced that there was only one road open before me.
What I have now…
"I will break with my own hands….all of these stupid illusions that cannot be seen to me….I shall make a road open before me" said Tsuna proudly and Hibari smirked at the boy's confidence but wondered and asked…
"How will you do that herbivore?"
"I'm gonna give that "god a knuckle sandwich!"
Hibari ever since he came here he really didn't know any figurative language….
"Knuckle sandwich? Like a Tuna sandwich?" but Tsuna interrupted the skylark's thoughts and answered.." No not like a tuna sandwich hibari!"
Tsuna sighed as he walked to the chamber and said, "Hibari it's either kill or be killed. That's the only kind of self defense that history recognizes." Hibari then said to Tsuna. "You'll get cursed.
Tsuna stopped and looked at Hibari, "How can you be afraid of curses when you don't believe in the god?"
"I'm not afraid herbivore, but it's not that I don't believe. It's just that I wonder why the god requires a sacrifice."
Tsuna smiled and answered straightforwardly, "For a snack of course"
Hibari wondered and thought of a dragon munching humans down….and I as an author is thinking why the hell is it a dragon?
There reached the end where it was a small room that had a magic circle…..Hibari looked and asked, "It's a dead end and in that case is that really a god?" while staring at the magic circle….
"It's below. The priests confessed that to get to the god, you need a key." Said Tsuna and Hibari's eyes widened and looked at Tsuna. "Confessed?" " Yea I used a bit of force and he confessed….why is there a problem with that?" "No"
Then Tsuna took out his sword and said, "Since the god told Cielo King that in return for my blessing the king must give him a sacrifice….The key is the royal blood." He scratched is skin and blood dripped out as he winced in pain for about a sec."
Hibari then thought.
If that is what the God wishes then….
Is that really a god?...
Suddenly around them was a light from below which caught both off guard….
"Herbivore we're here open your eyes already"
When Tsuna opened his eyes he was in shock he was hugging Hibari…He jumped off and panicked when that happened…..
Tsuna then came back to his sense and looked around in amazement….It was a huge room with such a narrow road to a huge birdcage and in front of the birdcage was a person….no….a god with his face covered….Tsuna and Hibari was confused well…Hibari the most because his god imagination was a dragon for no freakin reason….
"Tsuna narrowed his eyes into one serious emotionless eyes and asked, "Are you the God"
The person whose face was covered replied, "That's how the humans call me"
As soon as the god told the reply Tsuna dashed forward in lightning speed and stabbed the side of the chair where the gods face was…. And answered straightforwardly,
"Sorry but I have no intention of becoming your sacrifice.. Thank you for the good job these last 700 years. Now you can go back to heaven now…..Do it or else…"
"Are you going to kill me…a god?"
My hands….my voice…they're shaking….
The god once again said, "Blood really is thicker than water, eh?...12 years ago, I stabbed the God just like this, too….I was telling myself that I will finish with my own hands…this abominable tradition…"
"But in the end nothing changed"
"I was a fool beyond saving-" The god was cut off when Tsuna who had his eyes widened by those words ripped the paper that was on the god's face and yelled, "SHUT UP!"…after his eyes widened to the fullest….in unbearable shock.
Silver hair….and jasper eyes…unchanged after 12 years…
"G-Giotto Aniki…..
Tsuna was backing away until Hibari flinched and noticed and yelled, "Herbivore!" Tsuna noticed he was on the edge of the road and slipped….He fell but Hibari jumped down holding him in his arms….as if he knew this would happen…
When Tsuna opened his eyes he was in the water but holding onto a circular land and noticed Hibari who dropped….blood was falling from the skylarks head….
Ah…..that's right Hibari protected me when we fell….
He sensed someone behind him and got into battle stance…It was the God who was floating on top of the water…..
"Ah! It's no use trying to trick me by assuming my brother's face!"
Suddenly a magic circle appeared at where Hibari's hand full of blood was at…..
"Ah! What!" Tsuna was shocked and confused…
The God answered….."It seems that this foreigner's blood has become the key. The gate to the outside of this country is open….
Go….
Tsuna was caught off guard by those words…."Eh?..."
The god looked at him and answered, "You have what it takes to get out of this cage of a country." Suddenly the hand of the god darkened as if darkness was crawling over him….
Tsuna thought… "Don't tell me this person is…"
The god again said in a husky…monstrous voice…
"Hurry.. Before the god….makes you his sacrifice…"
Suddenly the darkened hand grabbed Tsuna by the neck and raised him up..Choking the boy…. "Che….You'll eat me right?"
"The god cannot break the contract."
The "God's" face was now getting covered by the darkness that was crawling over his body…..
Tsuna used his strength and answered.."I-It's not….as I-if the contract w-was made with m-me…"
"In order to keep protecting this country, He needs a sacrifice"
Tsuna then thought…
Twelve years ago….nobody gave me a second look….
I was written off just as another sacrifice that has to die for its country and people…..
I only had those gentle hands…..
Then Tsuna got his resolve….
That's why….. I must….
"NEVER GIVE UP ON THIS LIFE!"
Tsuna tried up his eyes closed and suddenly…
SLASH!
It was Hibari…..He sliced off the god's arms with Tsuna's sword and took Tsuna back into his hands….
"If I cut off your arm, blood flows….."
While having the unconscious boy in his hands stood up and asked, "Then where do I have to cut to extinguish this "God's Life?""
The god does not die. If you kill me, you will receive your due punishment-
Like you did?
The god's eyes widened by the man's answer….
"When I met you I finally understood. Even if it was for your little sister's sake, it seemed completely illogical that you, the heir of the throne, would become her replacement…..It's true blood really is thicker than water, and she resembles you so much…..
Even if she may kill the "god" she should not be allowed to kill her own FATHER!
(OMG BROTHER= FATHER?)
The god then said, Tsuna's mother had the eyes and hair same color as you….
A storm brought her. My treasure….
I wanted to run away with her…..
Away from this beautiful miniature garden…..
"I've never prayed to any god ever since then, but….
God, please bless my son…
STAB…..The sword went through the god and the god vanished…..
Few minutes later as Hibari walked in the darkness with Tsuna hanging over his shoulder awake….
"So why do you have to carry me exactly this way?" asked Tsuna who was extremely frustrated….
Hibari smirked, "Oh? Are you conscious? We're almost out. I see light….
"Out? Are we really going to another country?"
"Judging from the distance, this passage should be connected to the outside world. From the exit, we can go even lower"
"Well….I guess now…we can't go back to my country anyways…..Btw"
"Brother Giotto didn't suffer…..did he?"
"Tsunayoshi did you know in my country there's a star called Tsunayoshi (Wtf I know it's weird..).."
"A star?"
"It shines in the eastern sky and guides travelers on their way…."
"It's a star of blessing….."
"Wahhh!...T-that's just a coincidence Hibari-" then Hibari spoke out interrupting the boy…
"Maybe but for me,….
You are a blessing from heaven
There was a moment of silence until Tsuna said…..
"You said….You wouldn't let me die before you…..
Don't break that promise…
THE END…
How was the remake? Good? Bad? Also I think I will maybe say the moral of this story is that
Do not give up on hope and keep walking forward and you'll reach happiness…"
Tsuna and Hibari after live happily ever after at Japan Namimori together~
They have adopted children 2 of them
One is Alaude and the other is Giotto isn't it sweet~
