DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN KATEKYO HITMAN REBORN AND GUILTY CROWN. I DO NOT EVEN OWN ITS CHARACTERS which is such a shame...

A/N: Hello there! So, this is my first crossover and this involves Inori/Kyoya. I really don't know, this just came up in my dream so I decided to continue it consciously. Oh, and maybe this'll contain a little bit of OOC-ness, but I hope you'll like it. I hope you enjoy this~

EDIT: All right, I've corrected Inori's name, oh yeah~

First Encounter

Egoist

It was a really famous internet artist in Japan. Especially, the woman who wrote and sang the beautiful songs is pure and angelic. Her cherry hair, her luscious pink lips, and her red, ruby eyes, everything about her seemed so enchanting. And her voice, it was to die for.

It was dusk, and school was over. Every student from Midori Middle School made their way home. One after another, they went through the gate. No one knew where each of them was headed. Either they'd go straight home or somewhere to enjoy, like shopping or just plain bonding. Many went in groups, and only a few went alone, including Yuzuriha Inori.

She's a very quiet girl, with cherry hair and red, ruby eyes. She seemed to be fine with academics, and though her body looked thin and fragile, she's also good in sports and extra-curricular activities.

=/=

So, making her way home, she found herself stopping at the riverside. She felt the breeze, letting the wind caress her hair tied into two separate pigtails. She then looked up taking a brief look at the orange sky, and spotted a yellow round thing flying. It was coming towards her direction. She stared at it, since she can't figure out what exactly it was.

Suddenly, the yellow round thing seemed to drop slowly. Judging from the direction it was coming from, and the direction of the wind's origin, it would land straight down the riverside. She decided to go after it. She followed it down the riverbank and caught it, letting it rest on her two palms. It seemed to be a bird—a cute little round fluffy yellow bird. Charmed by its cuteness, she watched it with sparkling eyes. She seemed to enjoy it twirling on her palms.

After a while, she realized the bird was hurt. Its right wing wasn't proportional with its left.

That must be it.

She didn't have any bandages, so she just tore a small piece of cloth from her sleeve. Though she's not really sure what to do, she just tried to wrap its right wing with the small piece of cloth she tore. When she was satisfied, she sat down on the ground and moved her hands closer to her face. She examined the bird more carefully, and intently. It pecked on the cloth, but left it alone when it, maybe, realized that it wouldn't come off. It looked back at her and tilted its head. Inori's cheeks got tinted with a shade of red. She thought it was really cute.

Then, after about a minute or two, the bird started singing. She was amazed. The bird can actually speak! She thought. Though she was not familiar with the song it was singing, she listened very carefully. After catching up with some seemingly repeated lyrics, she tried and joined it in singing. They sang together, and her heavenly voice made the deserted place alive.

It was dusk, and school was over. Every student from Namimori Middle School made their way home. One after another, they went through the gate. No one knew where each of them was headed. Either they'd go straight home or somewhere to enjoy, like shopping or just plain bonding. Many went in groups, and only a few went alone.

At the reception room, the place that the Disciplinary Committee are occupying, Hibari Kyoya, the head of the Disciplinary Committee, was doing some paperwork. As usual, the window near his seat is left open for his pet to enter. But to his surprise, Hibird (yes, it's his bird pet) never came. Normally, even before dusk, it would fly through his window and land on his shoulder but today, it didn't come. It was very unusual for it to not see him for one whole day. Although he does let Hibird fly around alone and do as it pleases, he wasn't used to not seeing even a glimpse of it around Nami-chuu.

He hadn't finished his paper work yet but he stood up and left the room. He seemed agitated.

Hurrying, he appeared to have lost his usual calm, and that's unusual.

Everyone who was still at the campus was surprised seeing the demon. He didn't usually come out at that time of the day.

No. Not only surprised but also alarmed. Seeing him in a hurry can only mean one thing: he's out to punish some rule-breaker, or to be precise, he's out to bite someone to death.

Since all students knew their demonic, blood-thirsty head of the Disciplinary Committee, those who came across him stayed out of his way, stepped aside and gave a really wide way for him to walk through. They were undoubtedly dead scared of him.

Hibari Kyoya ignored them though, despite their forced greetings or wimpy shrieks, he just passed them. As soon as he was out of the campus, he halted for a moment. Feeling the breeze, he let the wind caress his soft black hair. He looked up and examined the sky.

Still no sign of it

He then got a move on, and for some odd reasons, he felt like going at the riverside. So there he went bearing his fangs out.

When he reached the riverside, he heard a voice. It was a singing voice, and he was sure it sang his beloved school's theme. He slowly followed the voice, and as he came closer, he recognized another voice.

It was definitely Hibird.

He then slid down the slope. He stared at the bird and also the woman with cherry hair. It seemed she hadn't noticed him yet. But no, his eyes were fixed on Hibird. It was rare for his pet to take a liking to someone else. It was always been him whom it liked and no one else.

Slowly, he approached them and he stopped at a reasonable distance. When the girl noticed his presence, she shifted her look to him. She slowly stopped singing, noticing he had weapons with him. And also, the bird followed. She looked at him and smiled. But the man's sharp eyes remained fixed on her direction expressionless. She grew conscious.

Why is he looking at me like that? Her smile melted, and she looked away. Thinking that she had cut off their "eye contact", she took another glance at him.

He was still looking straight at her direction, for at least a minute already.

She suddenly blushed. She didn't even know the guy, so it was so unnatural for her to feel embarrassed with him. She again looked at him, this time really carefully. Wondering that her fidgeting didn't bother him, she thought she might be wrong. Then, she finally realized the bird she was holding.

Oh, is this his? She then stood up, her eyes glued on the sharp-eyed man. As she stood up, she noticed his eyes followed her. He really seemed like he was looking at her face, but she knew that it was the bird that he was staring at.

Definitely

His eyes were fixed on her hands, not on her face. It just seemed like he did looked at her face since her hands were placed near her face. She slowly approached him, and stretched her arms, reaching to him.

She was handing the bird over.

The bird, which was still facing her, turned around and faced the man. Upon seeing him, the bird seemed to act cheerful or pleased. It then flew over to the man and landed on his left shoulder. As it landed, the man kept his tonfas and stroked its fluffy feathers with his fingers.

He seemed gentle. She thought as she watched them.

Suddenly, he once again looked at her. Accidentally meeting his eyes, her cheeks slightly flamed. The man spoke, "What's your name?"

"Inori..." she muttered. Though her voice was too soft, the man didn't bother asking again. Instead, after hearing her response, he turned around and climbed the slope. As he reached the road, he then went on and left.

=/=

She watched him walk away. Staring blankly at his back with his coat fluttering as the gentle breeze greeted him, she knew she was enthralled by him, but she wasn't hoping for them to meet again. She then went on the opposite direction that the man traversed to go straight home. But unexpectedly, she felt a sudden desire in her chest to look back, but she found the man to have already disappeared.

To be continued...

A/N: Yay! What do you think? So, in this story, I'll be using KHR's world, but at some points in the story, I might make up and add some new places in Namimori. And, there'll be no void genome, virus and GHQ involved. Thank you and I hope you enjoyed this. I'll continue writing this but I can't promise I can update as often as possible. Thanks again~

BTW, the "=/=" thing? It's to separate. I don't know, I just think it's needed, to indicate, uhh, you know, like pauses in a song? x) Anyways, please feel free to suggest anything too! Please lend me a hand.
