So I received one review on Black Sky and I must say that I am happy I have pleased you. I've read some other fanfic stories where the KHR characters are extremely OOC (out of character), and it bugs me. So I try my best to make characters act the way they are supposed to. So thanks for the nice review!
Just in case your are wondering, third person limited is different from third person omniscient. Limited is when the narrator knows the thoughts of only ONE character, while Omniscient is when the narrator knows the thoughts of ALL characters.
My other story, Instability, is being posted and updated faster because I have already written about five chapters a few weeks ago. But I will try to keep up with both stories don't worry.
So now here is chapter 2!
I do not own anything of KHR. All rights go to Akira Amano, except for characters I have created.
[3rd Person Limited: Sora Kuroi]
*WHAM*
The Reception Room door flung open abruptly, causing Kuroi to awaken with a fright. She was startled enough to the point where she fell off of the couch and onto the floor.
"Kyo-san!"
She turned her head toward the person who spoke. He had black hair that was swirled to the point where it looked like Elvis Presley's hairstyle, just dramatized. He was tall and he wore the same jacket that Hibari wore, except this person had his buttoned up, but not all the way. The top of his white undershirt remained visible.
"There have been more attacks on Namimori students. Few of which were attacks on some of the Disciplinary Committee members!" The new person rushed out his words urgently.
"...Hnnn..." Hibari grumbled. It appeared that Kuroi wasn't the only one who was sleeping.
"Do you know what happens to people who disturb my sleep, Kusakabe Tetsuya?" Hibari got up from the couch and armed himself with his tonfas.
Kusakabe held up his hands in defense, "I-I apologize, Kyo-san, but..."
"... I suppose since this is actually an important matter, I'll let it slide this once. I'll bite you to death some other time," Hibari lowered his tonfas.
Kuroi remained confused and fixated her sight onto Hibari. He only gave her a glare in return and returned his attention back to Kusakabe.
"Um.. Kyo-san, I don't mean to pry or anything-"
"Then don't."
"But- who is this girl? And where are her shoes?" Kusakabe gestured toward Kuroi.
"Eh?" Kuroi perked her head up.
"... A herbivore that is a hindrance," Hibari responded with little or no emotion at all.
Kuroi's expression became sullen. She looked over at Kusakabe and introduced herself, "My name is Sora Kuroi," she said with a smile, "It's a pleasure to meet you."
Kusakabe smiled back at her nervously, still unsure as to why she was there in the first place.
"Aa~ I'm Kusakabe Tetsuya. A pleasure to meet you, as well," He anxiously introduced himself and turned his attention to Hibari, "So, what shall we do, sir? Should we take action?"
"... Hmm..." Hibari remained distant. He was in a state analyzing his options.
"Kyo-san?" Kusakabe pressed on.
"Patrol the school grounds for now. Bite to death anyone who disrupts the peace of Namimori.
"I understand. Ja~ excuse me, then," Kusakabe bowed down to Hibari, and left in a hurry.
There was temporary silence all throughout the Reception Room. Hibari laid back down on the couch. He laid on his back with hands under his head, he used as support and a cushion.
Kuroi looked over at the solitary raven-haired.
"You're not much of a people person, are you?" She asked innocently.
No reply.
She got up and proceeded over to the sleeping demon. She analyzed his features and took note that he wasn't half-bad looking.
"Neh~ Kyoya," She was trying to get his attention.
"Don't speak my name with such informalities," He snapped.
"S-Sorry..."
An hour passed and Kuroi grew extremely bored. She glanced over to Hibari again. He was still soundly asleep on the couch.
Kuroi sighed and fell back on the couch opposite of Hibari.
"If you make anymore noise, I will bite you to death," He threatened.
She averted her attention over to Hibari. He hadn't moved an inch; he was still in the same position he was before.
Kuroi's expression was deadpanned as she observed her surroundings. The Reception Room was completely clean; nothing out of place; everything seemed "polished and perfect". She was amazed at how tidy everything was.
Kuroi got up from the couch and investigated the room further. She went over to the desk that Hibari was at earlier and rubbed her finger over the top of it. No dust. No dirt. Nothing.
She analyzed the contents on the desk. Everything was neatly placed. She looked over some of the papers that were sitting on top. They seemed to be permission forms from clubs that want new things to add or an area for a club to meet.
Kuroi went over to the window behind his desk and gazed through it. There were some students walking around on school grounds; nothing interesting to view.
There was nothing to do. She was completely and utterly bored out of her mind.
She looked over at Hibari, who was still asleep. She wandered over to him and looked at his sleeping face.
"Neh~ Kyo- um.. Hi..bari...?"
No answer.
"Hibari?"
No answer.
She took a step closer to him and slowly reached out her hand toward his face. Out of boredom, she began poking him in the face several times, "Hibari. *poke* Hibari. *poke* Hibari. *poke* Hibari. *poke*-"
He grabbed her hand and halted her, "Enough. Do you wish to aggrivate me?"
This time when he spoke to her, he actually looked at her. Though it was more of an icy glare. However, because Kuroi has no sense of fear, she was unfased by Hibari's words and expression.
"Neh~ Hibariiiii," she innocently pleaded, "Will you play with me?"
"No."
"Please."
"No."
"But, there's nothing to do."
"Go find those other herbivores, then."
"But... They're in class."
"Then, go find Kusakabe Tetsuya and play with him," He said as he returned back to his original position, "If you disturb my sleep again, I will bit you to death, Herbivore."
Kuroi was a little disheartened that he didn't want to play with her.
She walked away slowly and opened the door. She peered around outside the room before leaving, making sure that the hallways weren't crowded. She hesitantly stepped into the hallway and cautiously shut the Reception Room door behind her. She wandered around the second floor, searching for the person known as Kusakabe.
After several minutes of searching, she gave up and began wandering idly around the school.
She stopped at one room on the first floor, and looked up at the sign.
"Music Room"
Kuroi walked in with curiosity soaring through her mind. She observed her surroundings: serval chairs were placed in rows across the floor, facing a podeum, percussion instruments were placed in the back left corner, Brass and Wind instruments were lined up against the wall or next to seats. Everything looked interesting to Kuroi, but what really caught her eye, was a beautiful, black grand piano sitting in the back right corner next to a window.
Immediately, she strode over to the beautiful musical instrument. She looked over it in amazement. Kuroi sat down gently on the bench and lifted the cover that was placed over the keys. She traced her fingers on it and began to play.
The song she played, she was too familiar with:
Raindrops.
It was a beautiful song that her mother would play. It had a happy and soothing feeling to it. It was too great of a feeling to forget.
Kuroi remembered it clearly: some nights, her mother would play the song for her to get her to go to sleep. Kuroi would have her old, disheveled, stuffed rabbit with her, and she would sit on the floor next to the fireplace and listen to her mother's soothing piano music. As soon as she would fall asleep, her mother would stop playing, and would carry Kuroi to her room.
The melody was inscribed in her mind; it was impossible to forget.
Kuroi forgot about the time and continued to play the same song, continuously getting lost in its transe.
*DING DONG DING DONG*
She was so raptured by the music, she didn't notice the bell going off.
People began to line up against the Music Room door, listening to her play.
Nothing was going to stop her, she could hear nothing but the melody she played.
[3rd Person Limited: Hibari Kyoya]
About ten minutes after Kuroi left, Hibari decided to patrol the school again. When he reached the first floor the bell went off and people started filing in the hallways, but they avoided him at all costs.
For some reason, people began rushing past him. It looked like they were heading over toward the music room. He decided to investigate. After all, he did not like it when people crowded around school, so he might have some fun biting people to death.
The whole time he was walking, he heard many comments about piano music.
"Hey, did you guys hear that pretty piano music?"
"No."
"Well, you're missing out. C'mon, I'll show you."
When he got to the Music Room, there were several people crowding around the door trying to listen in on the music. Everyone so was enchanted by the wonderful piano music, no one noticed Hibari standing there agitated.
"Wow, that music is amazing."
"It really is..."
"Ssshhhh! We're trying to listen."
However, he, too, became entranced in the music, as well. Because it was such perfect piano playing, he decided to let it last a few more minutes and then take action.
After about a minute or so, the music stopped. That was Hibari's queue.
"Why are all of you herbivores crowding around? Dispearse or I'll bite you to death," Hibari walked toward the crowd, holding up his tonfas, an icy, menacing expression plastered on his face.
Everyone was startled by his arrival and immediately ran down the hallways, avoiding his tonfas.
When everyone disappeared, he looked over at the Music Room door. Because the person inside was the culprit for forming a crowd in the hallway, he decided to bite that person to death.
Hibari opened the door and glared in the direction of the piano. Because of the piano cover's placement, he could not see who the meister was behind the piano.
He swiftly walked over to the unknown meister. When he rounded the piano, he blinked at what he saw: Kuroi... She was frozen, her hands were hovering over the keys, her eyes were wide, though they didn't seem to express fear, but confusion and shock.
"... Who .. Is..." she trailed off.
Kuroi seemed to be in a sort of daze.
"Herbivore," He called to her.
No response.
"Herbivore," He said again with more frustration emanating from his voice.
No response.
"I don't like being ignored. If you don't answer me, I will bite you to death," He raised his arm showing a tonfa.
Still, no response. She remained in the state he found her in.
Hibari examined her and reluctantly rose his hand and placed it on her shoulder. She flinched and looked at him.
"Hi, Hibari," She greeted cheerfully.
"You caused a crowding in the hallway after minutes ago. For that, I will bite you to death," He held up his tonfas, annoyance playing throughout his expression.
"I did?" Kuroi cocked her head to the side, trying to be innocent.
He took a step toward her, which made Kuroi get off the bench, though she didn't appear to be in a state of panic when doing so. She smiled to herself.
"Well, in order to do that..." she trailed off as she started walking around the other side of the piano with Hibari's gaze fixated on her as she did so.
She idly walked over toward the exit slowly, and then stopped so that she was halfway to reaching the door.
"... You're gonna have catch me, first!" She shouted playfully and took off in a full sprint toward the exit and down the hallway.
[3rd Person Limited: Sora Kuroi]
Kuroi took off down the hallway, laughing as she ran. Some students were outside their classrooms and watched her run by. They were confused until they saw the Head Prefect chasing after her.
Kuroi looked back and saw Hibari in a fit of rage chasing her down the hallway. He did not look happy at all.
Kuroi ran to the second floor, up to the third, and then back down to the first floor. The whole time she was being pursued by a demonic, tonfa wielding prefect.
She stopped by Tsuna's classroom to say hello to them.
"Sora-chan? Why.. Why are here?" Tsuna asked.
"Tch, it's that stupid girl..." Gokudera announced disappointed.
"Oh, I'm playing 'Chase' with Hibari!" Kuroi explained.
"Eh!? What did you do to get him to chase you!?" Tsuna became worried.
"I don't know. He said something about crowds."
"That's bad! Hibari-san hates crowds!"
"Ma~ ma. I'm sure she'll be fine. Hibari wouldn't really hurt a little girl, would he?" Yamamoto tried to reassure.
Kuroi looked over to her right and saw Hibari barreling down the hallway after her.
"Well, I gotta go, bye-bye!" She said as she started running down the hallway.
[3rd Person Omniscient]
"Huh, I guess he does beat up little kids..." Yamamoto concluded.
"That bastard!" Gokudera exclaimed.
"Yeah, beating up children is wrong," Yamamoto said.
"Not that!" Gokudera snapped, "That!"
Gokudera pointed over at Tsuna who was freaking out, "He made Juudaime upset. That bastard, Hibari, will pay!"
"What do we do!? Hibari-san is going to bite Sora-chan to death!" Tsuna went into a state of panic.
"Calm down, Dame~ Tsuna. He won't bite her to death."
A piece of the wall slid down as if it were a door and revealed Reborn sitting on a chair.
"R-Reborn!? What do you mean he won't bite her to death. He obviously will!"
"Just wait and see," Reborn said with a smirk planted on his face.
"Huh?"
[3rd Person Limited: Sora Kuroi]
Kuroi was still running down the halls, avoiding Hibari at all costs and having fun doing so.
Thinking that she finally lost him, she started walking around the halls, keeping a close eye out for him. When she rounded a corner, none other than Hibari Kyoya was standing there, waiting for her.
Kuroi gasped and turned around to run. However, she didn't go anywhere because he already had her by the arm.
Kuroi looked at Hibari and started laughing. There was no sign of amusement on Hibari's face, however.
[3rd Person Limited: Hibari Kyoya]
Hibari raised his tonfa to strike her, but her constant laughing was puzzling him. He looked at her in frustration as she laughed.
He finally got fed up and demanded, "Why are you laughing? Answer me."
"B-Because- haha... I finally got you to play with me," Kuroi looked at him straight in the eye as she said it so cheerfully.
He blinked at her words and his eyes widened by a fraction. Her response surprised him a little. He's never heard of someone thinking that him biting people to death, is playing a game with them.
This girl was exceedingly peculiar in every way possible. He didn't understand her at all. Why was it that she has no sense of fear? Why was it that she makes everything seem so... Happy?
Hibari seemed to have gone into a daze, because Kuroi was snapping her fingers at him. He looked at her and grabbed the hand she was snapping with.
"Stop that," He glared at her.
"Fine, fine."
Hibari and Kuroi returned to the Reception Room. Because of all the running they did, Hibari stretched himself out on the couch and went to sleep, while Kuroi just laid down on the other couch daydreamed.
[3rd Person Limited: Sora Kuroi]
Kuroi remained on the couch looking up at the ceiling, recalling all the fun things she did today: Meeting new people, messing around with Hibari, patrolling the school, messing around with Hibari, playing the piano, messing around with Hibari and, her favorite; being chased by Hibari.
She replayed everything in her head. Then, she recalled what happened in the Music Room... The thought of what happened in the Music Room made Kuroi confused and distraught. Was it a vision she had? If so, why was she having visions and who was that teenaged boy in her vision? Who was... Mukuro...?
[END]
Okay! It seems Mukuro is here now (sort of). Can't wait to see what their connection is XD
