I'm glad to hear that you all have been enjoying my story! It makes me happy to know that, because it lets me know that I'm doing it right! Woah! Yayos I'm on a role lol. Though, I would appreciate it if someone could review my other story Instability, because I need to know if it's fine the way it is, or if I need to make some changes. Thank you!
To let you all know now, I will be coming up with another story on Saturday. Don't worry, it's not another Hibari fanfic. This one will have to do with the Varia. *insert evil laugh*
So here is chapter 3. Enjoy!
I don't own any of KHR. All rights go to Akira Amano, except for the characters I have created.
Please let me know if you see any spelling and grammatical errors. I will be happy to fix them. Thank you.
[3rd Person Limited: Sora Kuroi]
"Hey, get up. We're going home."
"... Hnnn..." Kuroi grumbled and turned away from the noise.
"Get up," The voice was more stern.
"... Hnnn.. I dun'.. Wan' .. Tuh'... (Sleepy talk for: I don't want to)," She grumbled again.
"Fine."
There was a sound of foot steps that grew louder as they came closer to her.
*BAM*
Kuroi was hit in the head with something metalic.
"Ow! That hurt!" She abruptly sat up and rubbed her head.
She looked around for the culprit and found him standing behind the couch she was laying on.
"You know, you can be a real meaner, Hibari," Kuroi looked up at him with a pouty face.
"A 'meaner'?" He raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah, a meaner. You're a meaner, Meaner," Kuroi chided.
"You are using incorrect grammer," Hibari looked at her, void of emotion.
"... You're in charge of the 'Grammer Police' as well, aren't you? ... Meaner," Kuroi teased.
"... We're going home. Let's go," Hibari went for the Reception Room door.
"'Home'? Your home?" Kuroi asked and crawled toward the armrest closest to Hibari.
"Yes," He left through the door.
She hopped down from the couch and chased after him.
"W-wait! Why am I staying with you? I have a place at the orphanage," Kuroi asked as she caught up to his unusually fast paste walking speed.
"Because the baby said that I have to keep an eye on you at all times, so we've made arrangements," Hibari displayed no emotion, though he seemed to be displeased with the matter.
"Well, what about my stuff?" Kuroi questioned as she jogged along to keep up with him.
"The baby already took care of it."
"Oh..." Kuroi stared at Hibari with a concerned expression. He payed no attention to her, however.
Hibari and Kuroi walked down the street. Hibari remained facing forward, while Kuroi took the time to look around the area and observe her surroundings.
The two arrived at the more opulent side of Namimori. The houses were more traditional instead of modern, however. They had large fences encompassing the home, the front yards were beautifully well kept and contained foliage such as bushes that were neatly trimmed, exotic looking flowers, small ponds, and trees.
"Wow... It's so... Pretty," Kuroi became mesmerized by the gorgeous scenery presented before her.
She was so taken aback by the enchanting, wealthy neighborhood, she didn't pay attention, nor take notice that Hibari stopped in front of one of the magnificent homes. Thus, she collided with Hibari and fell on her rear.
"You should pay attention as to where you're walking, Herbivore," He looked at her through the corners of his eyes.
"I'm sorry... It's just that I've never seen houses like these before. I've never even been to this part of Namimori," She explained.
Hibari opened the gate and stepped through.
Kuroi looked around the gate and found a placard with a name on it.
She read it out loud, "'Hibari Residence'... You live here? Cool!"
Hibari was already at the front door, "Come on. Hurry up."
Kuroi diverted her attention to him and pranced along the sidewalk up to his front door. Hibari held the door the open for her as she passed through. He took off his shoes and looked at her.
Kuroi looked back at him quizzically, "What?"
"You're not wearing shoes," He answered.
"Oh... Yeah..." She looked down at her feet, embarrassed that she didn't have shoes.
"Where are they?"
"Oh! Some of the kids at the orphanage took them, tied them together and flung them on powerlines," She paraphrased nonchalantly as she balanced herself along the edge of the step of the genkan.
"... And you didn't do anything about it?"
"Well... No... You see, for some reason, Nanny, she's in charge of the orphanage, she doesn't exactly like me that much. So, when I tolled her about what they did, she just shrugged it off and tolled me to get them myself. I asked other adults for help, and they got them down for me, but they just kept ending back up there. So, I left them. Now, I don't have shoes," Kuroi was abnormally casual about explaining the incident.
Hibari stared at her for a few seconds and walked off, with Kuroi following shortly behind. He gave her a side-glance.
"Follow me," He commanded.
Obediently, she followed him to a room which was considerably larger than her luxurious corner in the girl's room of the orphanage.
Kuroi was secluded into the corner with an old bunk-bed. The room was split into quadrants. Three of the quadrants were occupied by other girls, resulting in Kuroi having to settle for the bed that was farthest from everyone else.
The room that Hibari showed her to wasn't too dull and lacking in color. The bed was in the middle of the room, up against the right wall. It had a royal blue blanket and sheets while the pillows were white with black trimming. Nightstands acomponied either side of the bed. A vanity was set on the opposite side of the room from the bed. The cushion on the chair of the vanity set matched the bed; it was a royal blue with white trimming. The vanity, itself, seemed to be made out of fine mahogany. The carpet was white and a black rug laid in the center of the room. The closet was on the right side of the room, next to the bed. A window with white curtains was located on the opposite side of the room where the bedroom door was. A mahogany desk was placed under the window.
"... Pretty..." Kuroi was in awe of her new home. She was left breathless.
Kuroi looked at Hibari and pointed to herself, gesturing if the room was her's or not, "Mine?"
"Yes," He simply answered.
She looked back at the room. It took her a few seconds to process what just happened. Her face, then gleamed in a bright smile and she took off and jumped onto the bed, her body in a star shape as she stretched out across it. Kuroi went into a happy frenzy and rolled all over the bed.
When she sat up, Hibari was no longer there. She looked around her room and found her clothes and the rest of her belongings in a few paper bags sitting by the door. She went over, gathered her things, and put them away in the drawers and the closet. The last thing she went to put away, she realized it was stuffed rabbit. She hugged it and held it tightly to her chest.
She looked over the rabbit to see if anything was out of place. It had only one black button eye, the other appeared to be missing, most likely it was torn off. Its ears were as long as its body. One stood straight, but curved a little, while the other was completely bent over. A long scar of stitches circled the left side of the head. Similar stitches were located on the right arm, across the stomach, the left ear and both legs. Its cotton tail remained in tact. The rabbit was supposed to be gray and white in color, but due to aging and dirt, it's more of a brown and grayish-tan color. Despite its mangled and odd appearance, it still somehow displayed an adorable appeal.
After about an hour, Kuroi decided to investigate the house a bit further. She located the bathroom, the living room, and the kitchen.
When she arrived in the kitchen, she decided that since she was already there, she should get a snack before bed. (she wasn't all that hungry for an actual dinner). She peered around the kitchen looking for something small to snack on. When her eyes averted to the refrigerator, she looked to the counter next to it and found a few bananas. She stared them down.
"... Bananas..." She kept her sight fixated on the yellow fruits.
She pointed accusingly at the bananas, "You... Don't bring happiness! You're evil! You make people fall."
Kuroi walked over to the pantry, keeping her gaze locked on the bananas. She opened the pantry door and found a container of muffins. (I know right, 'cause Hibari totally keeps muffins around his house XD) She took a muffin and began eating it. When she was done, she looked back over at the bananas and stared them down again.
"What are you doing?"
Kuroi shot her attention over to Hibari, "Um, I'm just...-Going to bed goodnight."
She rushed over to her room and quietly shut the door. She changed into pajamas and crawled into bed. She held her rabbit in her arms and drifted off to sleep.
Kuroi woke up with a fright at around one in the morning. She sat up in her bed, clutching onto her rabbit, recalling the nightmare she had. Though, the nightmare didn't exactly seem like an actual nightmare. It seemed more like that vision she had earlier in the Music Room.
Kuroi kept seeing images of this one boy. He had blue hair parted in a zigzag down the middle and was put up into a fashion that strangely seemed to resemble a pineapple. His left eye was blue while his right was... Red... With alternating symbols that started from the number one and went all the up to six.
She didn't understand what these visions meant. All she knew was that there was some sort of significance.
Unable to sleep, Kuroi got up out of bed and and wandered out into the hallway. Unsure of where to go, she headed over to Hibari's room.
Seeing that the door was cracked, she peered inside. She quietly opened the door, closed it, and walked silently over to him.
He was sound asleep on his side. He seem to be wearing long sleeved black pajamas.
Kuroi raised her hand to wake him up, but thought about it for a second, and lowered her hand.
"What are you doing?" Hibari asked groggily.
Kuroi was surprised that she woke him up.
"I.. Um.. Had a bad dream and I couldn't sleep..." She reluctantly admitted.
"... Just go to sleep," He said as he turned over, facing away from her.
Kuroi looked at the door and then back to Hibari. She thought about it for a second and then sat down on the floor next to his bed. She laid down and curled up into a ball and used her rabbit as a pillow.
Hibari opened his eyes, and turned to look at her. With an agitated sigh, he let her be.
[3rd Person Limited: Hibari Kyoya]
Hibari woke up in the morning to find that Kuroi was still sleeping next to his bed. He moved to get out of bed, but instead of his feet reaching the floor, they stepped on Kuroi instead. As soon as his feet hit her, he immediately recoiled and looked down. Somehow, she was not disturbed and she remained asleep. He looked at her with disinterest and irritation.
Hibari moved down the bed and got up where there was a free place to stand. He looked at her again, then turned toward his closet and gathered his school clothes and headed off toward the bathroom to get cleaned up and refreshed.
[3rd Person Limited: Sora Kuroi]
Kuroi woke up a few minutes after Hibari left the room. Kuroi got up and walked down the hallway toward her room, sleepily swaying as she did so, dragging her rabbit along with her.
She went into her room and gathered together some clothes for her to change into. She lazily walked over to the other bathroom that was not in use and proceeded to get cleaned up.
When she was finished, she dressed herself into a large, white, longsleeved, button-up shirt that went down to her knees. The collar stuck up, unkept. She put black, cotton shorts on underneath. Kuroi buttoned the shirt down to the top of her shorts. Because she did not have any shoes, she put black ankle socks on as a substitute.
Kuroi stepped out of the bathroom and ran off to her room to drop off her other clothes. She walked out of her room and headed for the kitchen. Hibari was sitting their eating breakfast. He looked at her.
"What are you wearing, Herbivore?" He questioned.
"Oh, I told you didn't I? Nanny doesn't like me."
"So?"
"So, whenever she handed out new clothes to us, she would give me some random pieces of clothing she found at a thrift shop. That's why I have old clothing that's too big for me. I know, it's not very trendy or cute... But, it's all I have," She explained to him as casual as possible.
Kuroi walked over to the counter and prepared herself a couple of slices of toast with strawberry jam.
Hibari went back to finishing his breakfast.
When both were finished, they left for Namimori~ Chuu.
[3rd Person Omniscient]
Tsuna and Reborn were heading toward the school when they realized that there were Prefects on guard.
"Hey, it's the Prefects! And over there, too..." Tsuna exclaimed, completely baffled.
"Considering that there are so many cases of beatings on Namimori~ Chuu's students, they must be getting anxious, as well," Reborn explained.
"This really is a gang fight or something..." Tsuna concluded.
"You're wrong."
"Nah~ H-Hibari-san!" Tsuna coward in fear.
"Ciaossu," Rebron greeted.
"Hello, baby," Hibari greeted Reborn, though he was not in a good mood.
"I-I was just on my way to school. I wasn't doing anything bad..." Tsuna panicked.
"I've never encountered anything like this," Hibari said, "But of course, these sparks that have ignited must be extinguished."
Hibari shifted his gaze and swung his tonfa around, striking an older man whom of which had dark brown hair, a white suit and a blue dress shirt and tie. The man fell down.
"Dr. Shammal!?" Tsuna stared in disbelief.
"You disturb me, Mr. Perv."
"Sora-chan? When did you get here?"
"Well, if you were observant Dame~ Tsuna, you would have known that she was there the entire time," Reborn sneered.
A girl ran passed them, frightened.
"... Nnngghh..." Shammal whined, rubbing his head, "Now, why'd you do that?"
"I felt an evil intent," Hibari glared holes through him, but turned around and walk off, "Though it could have just been my imagination."
Kuroi looked at Shammal and turned to follow Hibari.
"That may be, but that doesn't mean you should strike a fellow. What a fearsome guy," Shammal complained as he stood up.
Hibari stopped momentarily, however, to feel his neck, but continued moments later. Kuroi just looked at him in curiosity.
"It was out of instinct," Shammal conveyed to Reborn, "Sakura don't bloom in this time of the season, so he should be alright."
"Yeah," Reborn agreed.
"What are you doing here, anyway?" Tsuna questioned.
"I heard that there was trouble in the area, so I came to protect the ladies," Shammal stated with a smirk planted on his face.
"What a horrible doctor..."
Before anything else could be said, the Namimori anthem went off.
It appeared that the source that the anthem originated from was Hibari's cellphone.
'That's Hibari-san's ringtone...?' Tsuna thought in disbelief.
"Yes. That's right," Hibari turned to Tsuna who, then, coward in terror, "He's an acquaintance of your's, isn't he...? Sasagawa Ryohei was attacked."
"What!?"
[3rd Person Limited: Sora Kuroi]
Kuroi didn't understand what attacks everyone was referring to. However, that didn't stop her from worrying.
Hibari lead Kuroi over to the Reception Room. They both entered and Kuroi sat down on the couch.
"Do I have to stay in here? Can't I go to the music room?" She whined.
"No, stay here," Hibari commanded her as if she were a dog, then turned and proceeded to exit the room.
"Wait! Where are you going?" Kuroi called out to him.
"I have an annoyance of sparks that need to be extinguished." He went out of her sight.
"Now, how does that make sense...?" She asked herself and cocked her head to the side.
Kuroi slumped down in the couch and pouted. After a few moments, a smile crept onto her face.
She jumped off the couch and cautiously peeked her head out the doorway. No sign of Hibari.
Seeing that the premises was vacant of Hibari, she barreled down the hallway toward the music room. As she passed numerous classrooms, she noticed that most of them were nearly empty.
She slowed her pace and went into deep thought. She wondered why there were hardly any people at school and if the attacks were linked to it.
Kuroi looked up and saw Gokudera walking out of his classroom. She took this as an opportunity to be a ninja.
Kuroi quietly ran up to Gokudera from behind. When she was close enough, she lunged for him and jumped onto his back.
"What the Hell are you doing!?" Gokudera almost fell to the ground, but he kept his balance.
"I just have mad ninja skills," She taunted.
"Oi, kora! Get off me!"
Kuroi leapt down and smiled at him, "I'm sorry."
"Cheh, whatever," He stormed off.
"Hey, wait! Where is everyone?"
"Don't know. They probably all stayed home because of the constant attacks breaking out."
"So, where are you going?"
"Well, Juudaime isn't here, so there's no point of me staying in that room with that baseball-idiot."
"Oh... Well, bye, Hayato!" Kuroi waved at him.
Gokudera flinched and mumbled under his breathe, though Kuroi couldn't here what he said.
Kuroi turned away and headed down to the Music Room. When she got there, she glanced inside and noticed it was empty. Kuroi ran straight over to the piano and gently sat down on the bench. She lifted up the cover that shielded the keys and hovered her small fingers over them.
She tried to think of a melody to play. She recalled one song she learned from a piano teacher she used to have.
Moonlight Fall
Thinking of the melody in her head, Kuroi began to play wonderous music.
Time passed on as she continued to play. She was having fun. It was considerably better being in the Music Room than in the Reception Room. Everything was perfect for her.
Then, Kuroi froze again. It was the same thing that happened before; images of the one boy filled her mind. Except they were a little different this time. This time, there was another person, another male. He had black hair and a black coat. He looked disheveled and injured. The boy with the red eye seemed to be beating the other, mercilessly, torturously.
Kuroi tried to examine the black-haired male. He seemed familiar in a way. She was able to get a closer view of the victim. That's when she knew...
"Hibari!"

Oh. My. Cheezits! Hibari!? What happened to him? And what's with these visions? It seems that this story is getting more intense.
