Another World, Another Time
A Kateikyoushi Hitman Reborn Fanfiction
by Murasaki KuroNeko Rei/Shiro of KuroShiro no tama
2. A Whole New World... Or Not.
(Still 1st Person PoV)
The moment I had read those words, I'd fainted -the closest I had ever come to fainting was one: in the 3rd grade when I had been sick -and I mean REALLY sick- so sick I couldn't even read the words on the paper in front of me, and two: Sometime after I moved again several months ago, and I suddenly couldn't hear, as my vision whited out (I actually ended up throwing up a little to clear that problem).
Both times I could barely stand straight -but this time...
Well -aside from the fact that I was not standing...- the world quite literally went black for me...
(3RD PoV)
...Imagine the surprise of the world's greatest assassination team -the Varia- when some random girl falls out of nowhere and onto one of their members...?
Well, surprise and laughter, seeing as poor Squalo always got the worst end of the stick...
He had spluttered in rage, as he was knocked onto the floor, and saw that it was just some silly twit of a girl (by now the rest of the Varia was roaring with laughter -except for Xanxus, and a few others who did not normally laugh).
Xanxus muttered something about 'trash' and 'imbeciles', while Lussuria actually looked worried -as for Bel, Levi, and Mammon...
Well, Levi and Bel couldn't help laughing outright, while Mammon had a twitch of a smile on his normally frowning baby face.
So, imagine their surprise -even more so- when the girl just groaned, and sat up, staring at them all, before she gaped.
"N-No way?" she exclaimed, eyes wide, just before she felt shifting beneath her body, and hurriedly scrambled off... Just in time to avoid being flung into a wall as Squalo forced himself up.
"VOOOOOIIIIII! WHO THE HELL DID THAT?" the silver haired shark raged, swinging his sword-hand in an arc, as if to point accusingly at the other members, suspecting foul play...
Not that they trusted any of the other members with not having done that at one time or another...
Teasing the silver-haired swordsman was just too fun!
Meanwhile, the girl had hidden behind the table, squeaking slightly in surprise -but unfortunately...
It just so happened to be behind Xanxus' chair...
Fuck, her life sucked!
Meanwhile, in another world, three females found themselves being pulled into another world... leaving a confused male behind, before he, too, was pulled into what seemed like a vortex (a different one)...
"..." 'Kyo', as she prefered to be called, gulped rather nervously.
The Varia had been staring at her for a little over five minutes now, and none of them had moved, let alone blinked -well, that was after Xanxus had glared at her and told her to get her 'fucking hands off my chair' (throne/seat), and she had squeaked again, and backed up, paling slightly.
Man! Xanxus up close and live was a lot scarier than Xanxus in the manga/anime...
Actually, TYL Xanxus was pretty hot... No! Wait! Bad thoughts! Bad thoughts! she thought, shaking her head, and, in the process, catching the Varia's attention again, as they finally moved.
"VOOOIIIII! WHO THE HELL ARE YOU, BITCH!" exclaimed a certain (guess who! XD) silver-haired male, while the others silently agreed.
"Erhm..." she blinked, wincing slightly at the level of noise (her ears were delicate, damnit!), before she tried to come up with an answer, "Well, I'm your biggest fan...?" she tried.
There was silence as they all stared disbelievingly, several, in fact, raising brows at this.
"..." she laughed rather nervously at the stares, before Mammon spoke up.
"Muu, prove it," the infant illusionist prompted.
"Er..."
"Ushishishi~ She can't prove it, can she~?" Bel grinned, as the onyx haired girl winced slightly.
"Okay, okay!" she exclaimed, deciding that it would be best to say something after all, "I can prove it!" she insisted, before turning to each of them and introducing them herself.
"That's Levi A. Than -and my least favorite member," she added in a mumble, soft enough that they didn't hear...
Or so she thought, "You're Mammon, Belphegor, Lussuria, Squalo, and, of course, the Varia's ring-leader, Xanxus," she finished, pointing or gesturing to each of them in turn as she spoke. She used Bel's full name, though, just in case he found the nickname on the lips of a stranger offending.
Several of them frowned.
"Oh my~" Lussuria wiggled a bit, happy to be recognized, before Bel burst their bubble.
"Ushishishi~ But anyone would know who the Varia are," he pointed out, grinning maniacally, "We are (Core members of) the Varia," he said.
Mammon had to agree, and so did the others once they thought about it.
"Try something else," Mammon suggested.
"Oh~ What about weapons? Or fighting styles?" suggest Lussuria, he rather liked the girl -then again, he liked anything that was cute, though he did prefer the male species...
The girl blinked her deep grey -almost a brownish black- eyes, before shrugging slightly.
"Okay... Uhm... Levi uses parasols," she said, causing several of the members to snigger, as she had used the more 'effeminate' version of umbrella, though Levi really couldn't complain, and so, just grumbled.
"Bel uses knives and wires," she continued, causing said Prince to frown -only those of the Varia, and those he had fought (though none ever lived to tell) knew about the wires, and he knew that the Varia would never give away their secrets, seeing as it kept the Varia standard up -after all, Varia Quality was Varia Quality...
"Mammon-chan uses illusions, and his, uh... frog/salamander-thingie, Fantasma," she said, causing Mammon to frown.
"He's not a salamander," he grumbled, though at least she had gotten the lizard's name right, though he was a bit irked at the japanese endearment added to his name.
"Luss-san uses a fighting style called Moai Tie -no, wait, Muay... Thai?" she frowned, tripping over the pronunciation just a little, though she ended up saying it right in the end.
Lussuria squealed, not only liking the nickname, but happy that he actually had a fan!
"And Superbi Squalo, the current Sword Emperor," she continued, looking at the silver haired man, who seemed to preen just a bit at the mention of sword emperor... Wow, Proud much?
"And, last but not least," she said, turning to Xanxus, who continued to look bored, "as said before, the Leader of the Varia's Core Assassination team, Xanxus. Wielder of the famous Rage Flames of the Secundo's time," she said, causing said boss to raise a single brow, before she continued, "And guns that are specifically modified for those flames," she said, causing the boss' neutral expression to become a frown.
"..." There was silence as the female unflinchingly stared into the eyes of the Varia's most feared -and esteemed- leader's blood-red eyes.
At last, there was a nervous twitter, and Lussuria ended the silence rather nervously, "Well! I think she proved her devotion, now hasn't she?" he asked, causing several of them to frown.
It was true, she had been able to name each person as well as identify their weapons/fight-styles quite easily...
Which, really -for the Varia- was not a good thing.
"So... what should we do?" asked Mammon boredly, as the prince holding the baby laughed his every creepy laugh.
"Kill her?" suggested Levi pratically (A/N: And, yet another reason why I 'dislike' Levi so much).
"Ahaha... Let her go?" suggest Lussuria, earning blank 'are you serious?' stares, which made him shrink just a bit, "Or... not?"
"VOOOIIII! IT'S TOO FUCKING DANGEROUS TO LET HER GO NOW!" exclaimed Squalo practically, and Xanxus twitched.
"Trash..." he glared at the silver-haired man who just simply glared right back.
"Uhm...?" the timid feminine voice amongst the dangerous male voices caught their attention, "I could... stay here?" she offered, thinking that maybe this had been a bad idea after all...
I mean, they could very well just kill her and be done with it... right?
"I-I could do work, cook... -Uhm, I'm not very good with cleaning, though," she admitted, thought really, it was just that she had always been a bit too lazy to clean properly, "I could... -I could also... help with plans...? I-I'm a good strategist!" she blurted out -well, she was rather good at her Fire Emblem game (which required good tactical skills), "And I'm not squeamish!" she added, trying to find any reason to stay alive now, "although that's only for blood and that sort of thing..." she added quietly, hoping they didn't hear, as she was okay with the whole 'death and destruction' thing, after she would have to if she was going to live with the Varia... right?
"Uhm... I-I could also... help with what'll happen in the future...?" she added, faltering slightly when none of them seemed moved at all (except maybe Lussuria, who just had a 'oh, you poor dear' look, as if he expected her to be sent to the gallows as well).
Xanxus and Squalo scoffed/rolled their eyes, before Xanxus sneered at her.
"And just what could scum like you help with?" he sneered. From the first she had seemed like the sheltered type, though it was odd that she would know so much about them, her reactions and almost everything about her screamed 'civilian'.
From her semi-large liquid-dark eyes all the way to her typical teenager clothes (a shirt, cargo-ish long pants, and what looked like a t-shirt underneath -although it was all in black, or a grey-ish black, and her hair reached just below her shoulder-blades). She seemed like a typical (probably american -or japanese, seeing as she kept using those suffixes) adolescent teen.
"Uhm... The Vongola Rings?" she hazarded.
Complete silence.
"What did you just say...?" the throned male asked dangerously, eyes narrowing as he hissed those words.
"Uh... I-I could help you get... the Vongola Rings...?" she offered again, timidly.
"I-I know who Timoteo -I mean, Vongola Nono-san- has chosen for his successor," she said carefully, mentally apologizing to Tsuna and company, "Or rather, who he will choose," she admitted.
His eyes narrowed again.
"Who?" he growled.
She gulped, as even the other members backed up, or shrunk away. But she refused to let herself get daunted...
Oh, who was she kidding? She was terrified! The man was scary all over!
"N-Not until you promise you won't have me k-killed!" she stammered, wincing slightly at how shaky her voice was -even she didn't sound sure of herself.
He glared, "WHO!?" he roared.
She winced a bit, but stood there, eyed shut as if she expected him to strike her down then and there.
"..." He sighed after a while, forcing himself to calm down, much to the surprise of the others, though he still raged inside.
There was no knowing if the chit was right, but if she was, and he killed her, he would end up getting angrier.
"Fine." he spat, much to the Varia -and Kyo's- surprise. "I won't have you killed," he said, before smirking, "But if I find out the information is wrong you can bet that you get the most painful -bloodiest- torture session -And I'll make sure it's done so slowly (horribly) that you'll wish you were dead!" he growled, as they all winced -nevermind. He was the same raging -violent- alcoholic boss as ever...
She shuddered at the thought, "A-Alright," she agreed, paling slightly. Just because she could be rather sadistic at times did not mean she was a masochist!
...Though, maybe she was, just a little, seeing as she happened to like the Varia as much as she liked the soon-to-be tenth generation Vongola...
Elsewhere, in Japan, a brunette by the name of 'dame-Tsuna' sneezed, as the bullies around him laughed.
"Get talked about again Dame-Tsuna?" one of them sneered.
"Yeah! I'm surprised you're not sneezing all the time! Dame-Tsuna!" the second sneered viciously, as the rest laughed.
The poor brunette just shivered, looking scared...
Little did he know, that soon (well, not very soon, but soon -enough-) he would be going through a hell worse than what he already experienced every day...
Or that those hellish days would also be the best days of his life...
Back with the Varia, 'Kyo' as she had told the others they could call her (actually, she had told them that her name was 'Murasaki-Mikami "Hatsuharu" Kyo' for the sake of time -and since the Varia were rarely patient people- and told them that they could just call her Kyo since it was the shorted name -it hadn't been til after that she had realized that the shortening of 'Hatsuharu*' was just much too like a certain maroon-haired girl who would eventually end up becoming a certain brunette's stalker), was telling them -a little- of what she knew.
She had just finished vaguely explaining about how the Nono had chosen a Japanese-origin(ed) boy, though not saying exactly who, as she described the boy, and gave a short-hand name of 'Tuna' or 'Dame-Tsuna' since she didn't want them to kill the poor kid outright before he even got the chance to meet Reborn and train somewhat!
After all, she had only realized that she probably shouldn't have said that just now...
Then, one of the more idiotic Varia members happened to ask why he hadn't chosen Xanxus as the next boss...
And of course, she had been about to blurt out the whole 'not-of-the-Vongola-blood' thing, but before she got too far, she remembered that if she revealed that Xanxus would definately kill her...
Promise or no. After all, they might just kill her after she told them about Tsuna...
Shit.
"Well of course it's be-cause of the whole 'Cradle Affair'!" she rolled her eyes, hoping that it had already happened...
And by the other's various frigid/frozen reactions, she had a feeling she was right on the mark...
No, wait...
Fuck! That was one of the 'iffy' topics too! she remembered, suddenly feeling the urge to bang her head again any hard surface...
"Fu-Ow!" she muttered, oh, wait, she just did, she realized, wincing as she rubbed her poor forehead.
She had actually unconsciously ended up hit her head against one of the tall oaken chairs around the table.
The Varia stared at her oddly -what? They'd never seen someone actually hit their head before...? Oh, wait, yeah, they did, though, probably not voluntarily...
Yeah... Fuck.
Xanxus stared at the mumbling girl as she rubbed her forehead, before he started to laugh outright, startling his 'companions'.
Now they stared at him, but seemed to decide that it was another one of his 'crazy' fits, not that they would ever say it out loud...
Or to his face (probably for fear of the painful/immediate death penalty)...
Well, that was one thing taken care of, 'Kyo' thought absently, as she sweat -Wow...! His 'crazy-laugh' was pretty creepy, she realized -she'd even say it was creepier than Bel's/Mukuro's...!
But before she made the mistake of saying so out loud (thankfully), a bright light flashed and three more unidentifiable figures (at the moment) fell onto the Varia...
This time, on top of Levi...
Sucker.
No one seemed to care about the fallen this time, as they stared blankly at the girls.
Kyo blinked, and peered at the mess of limbs on top of Levi.
"Ah..."
All attention turned back onto her, as the three girls groaned, and sat up, untangling themselves as they did so to sit up on a now unconscious Levi A. Than.
"It's the Witches..." she said, looking relaxed now as she drifted over to the three.
'What the fuck-?' thought the various (still conscious) Core Varia members as the girl greeted the three trespassers. The oddest thing, though, was that they all looked alike except for their long hair and eye colour, as well as the color of their clothes -which were mostly matching.
The most mature looking one was a silver-haired, grey-eyed girl who could rival Squalo in hair length, who seemed to constantly wear a poker-face. Her clothes were also the simplest out of the three, in different shades of grey.
What looked like the second oldest was an obsidian haired girl with crimson eyes that could match Xanxus', who seemed just as bad a tempered, with her clothes in a more gothic-styled black and blood-red; while the last was a platinum-blonde with unnaturally bright aquamarine blue eyes, whose clothes was more lolita-type in style, though more practical.
All of the girls wore semi-long skirts that reached their knees at least, and what looked like ruffled, medival long-sleeved shirts to go with them, as well as differently styled boots that matched their clothes and possible personality-types...
"Rei, Haruka, Hikaru... Glad you could make it!" Kyo grinned, garnering blank stares from all around, before she frowned.
"Oh, right... you don't know who I am, do you...?" she faltered, sweating a bit.
"...You reek of inter-dimensional energy," supplied the silver haired girl, who was apparently the leader.
The Obsidian haired girl wrinkled her nose, while the blonde looked around curiously.
"Ugh, you do stink of it!" the obsidian haired girl muttered rather rudely.
"Where are we...?" wondered the blonde.
Kyo frowned, "That's not nice, Haruka. And we're in Italy, Hikaru -not that you'd know where or what that is," she said, "As for the whole 'inter-dimensional energy' thing... I wouldn't know," she shrugged, "I'm not exactly a mage... or a witch," she told them, as the three looked around -briefly- then back at her.
'Rei', as the silver-haired one could only be, frowned and glanced at the onyx haired girl sharply, "You know who we are," she said simply, "Yet we know naught of you," she said, looking just the slightest bit perplexed.
"Eheh... Yeah... about that... you probably wouldn't believe me even if I did tell you, so... I'm not going to bother," she admitted, "So let's just say that 'I know more of you, than you do yourselves' and leave it at that."
She couldn't very well tell the trio that she had -technically- created them, now could she...?
Rei frowned, but nodded slowly, still wary, though her instincts told her to trust this strange girl for all that she was a total stranger... She decided to trust her instincts for now, as they had yet to lead her astray.
The Varia were getting irritable now, but said nothing, as they probably wished to garner more information while the girl seemed to have forgotten about them -rude little thing...
The other two girls seemed to follow the silver-haired one's lead, though they were more suspicious/open than their 'leader' about it.
Haruka opened glared, looking suspicious, while Hikaru just smiled, as if accepting her sister's words as final, and absolute.
"But, uhm... Where's Sei?" Kyo wondered, a bit confused as to why they would not all be together.
At this, the three frowned and looked around more, as Kyo did, as if the man might just suddenly appear.
Rei frowned, "I do not sense him..." she admitted.
"Didn't see him come with us -maybe he died?" she suggest nonchalantly before grimacing -much as she was being airy about this, even she did not relish that thought.
"No!" exclaimed Hikaru, eyes bright with worry, "He can't die!" she cried, eyes filling with tears now.
"Not that I saw him fall in with us!" amended Haruka hastily, shuddering at the 'look' from her sister and the sight of a teary-eyed Hikaru...
A normal and chipper Hikaru was bad enough -but a crying one...? It was even worse than anything she would ever live through, and she would rather not go through that sort of incident again...
"...I-I guess..." Hikaru sniffed, wiping her tears away.
"So... what now?" asked Haruka, just as Rei asked "Who are they?" while studying the various core members of the Varia...
"Oh," Kyo looked startled, looking for all the world as if she had completely forgotten about the Varia, "Uhm... they're natives," she explained, stressing the word 'natives' to show that it was best not to talk of certain... topics... around the group. "Yeah, they're a famous assassi-er... Mafia group called the Varia," she said, not sure how the trio would react if she revealed that they were assassins, though she had a feeling they wouldn't really like it, for all that they really couldn't mess with things in this world that much...
Rei frowned at the cut-off 'asasseh'? What ever could she be speaking of? Though really, she decided, she probably wouldn't want to know anyways, from the slightly guilty look on the girl's face.
"Anyways, the one that you guys knocked out is Levi A. Than -Levi for short," she said, slight disdain coloring her voice, before she went on, "That's Lussuria, Belphegor, Mammon, Squalo, and, last but most certainly not least, the leader of the Varia, Xanxus," she finished, before remembering something.
"Oh! I forgot to introduce myself!" she exclaimed, making 'd'oh!' sort of face when she realized her mistake. "I'm known as Murasaki-Mikami 'Hatsuharu*' Kyo," she said, "Though you can just call me Kyo~" she told them.
"Kyo's short for Kyouya**, by the way," she explained, before looking over at the Varia who were starting to look impatient.
"Uhm... guess it's time to introduce you guys to the Girls, huh?" she laughed nervously, "Uhm..." she glanced at Rei, not quite sure how to start.
Rei seemed to understand, though, and nodded, "I am Rei, and I am the Eldest of our trio," she said, "These are my sisters, Haruka and Hikaru -better known as the twins," she explained.
"Oh~! So that's why you all look so alike!" Lussuria laughed -for some strange reason, he kept thinking that the silver-haired girl and the obsidian-haired girl might have been Xanxus and Squalo's illegitamite children...
Though they looked much too old to be so. Although it would make one wonder, seeing how similar they looked...
Especially when the Obsidian-haired one seemed to be a mix of the two's gene-pools. Xanxus' hair, eyes, and penchant for the negative, and the rest of Squalo's looks -the soft, pale skin; the loudness...
The cussing... (though really, that could've been both)
Perhaps from the future...? he wondered absently, twirling a bit of his brightly-colored mohawk-type hair-do.
After all, there was such thing as the Ten-Year Bazooka that the Bovino family own...
Maybe they had other weapons in the future that could transport one backwards in time...? he wondered.
"Oh my! It seemed Levi still isn't awake~ Perhaps I'd best take him to his room~" said Lussuria nervously, when he saw the narrowed eyes of his boss trained on him...
It seemed that he had a guess as to what the flamboyant male was thinking... And he. Did. Not. Like it... At. All.
Lussuria laughed nervously as he went over and quite easily lifted the largest -and probably heaviest (I mean, all that metal on him must count for something... right?)- member of the Varia and walked out.
"It was nice meeting you, girls~ Arrivederci~!" he called, before practically adding a muttered "I hope..."
Eventually, the Varia (or at least, those present) and Kyo (and the girls) sorted things out, and it was decided that the girls would all stay in the empty Core Varia room (partly so that the Varia could 'keep an eye on them' so that they didn't try to escape -which, by the way was the Varia being much nicer than they should be treating 'prisoners'. Especially since that was the supposed Cloud Guardian's room, though they were still missing said Guardian -Xanxus had yet to find a replacement for the last sucker who had dared to talk back to him) for the night.
Lussuria would show them to their individual rooms the next day, seeing as said male was busy at the moment (more prison, yay)...
And it was with that, that Xanxus kicked them all out of the 'throne'/dining room, and forced Squalo to lead them to their temporary quarters...
After several threats and a game of throw-the-glass-at-Squalo's-head-and-see-how-loud-Xanxus-can-make-him-yell! ensued the original command, and a repeat of said command, before said Shark grumbled and finally agreed, seeing as none of the others would bother bailing him out of it.
He ignored the stares the girls (except Kyo) gave him as glass fell out of -and off- his silky hair as he lead them to their chambers for the night -at least it had been an empty glass, Squalo had thought, though it still annoyed him that he would have to clean his hair out today -again.
He had actually gotten a full shot-glass of Xanxus' alcohol earlier that morning, as well...
Fuck, he hated his life -no, wait, not really. He just hated being Xanxus' bitch. The whole kick-ass Core Varia member and Sword-Emperor thing was pretty cool.
Needless to say, Squalo was a really rather very vain swordsman -and human altogether. He was pretty proud, arrogant, and loud, yes, although when it did come down to it, he would probably lay his life down for the bastard that was his boss...
So all in all, no matter how much the Shark denied it, he was actually a pretty good person...
Once you got past the cussing, the vanity, the pride, arrogance, loudness, killing/assassination... etc., etc.
Eventually, they reached their destination (with much swearing on the Shark's part, and practical silence on the girls'), and Squalo opened the door to reveal a rather plain room that had the same bare-minimum as the other Core members.
A King-sized bed (Queen in the case of Bel, Mammon, Lussuria, and Squalo -Levi actually needed the King size- though Bel continuously insisted that it was a Prince-sized bed, which, needless to say, confused those who did not know him -which was pretty much anyone and everyone who didn't really know the Varia -including the poor mattress-sellers that were continuously being killed off when they couldn't quite understand what the psychotic teen was talking about); Dressers; a rather large Wardrobe; as well as several other decorations that were a mix of medieval and modern that somehow worked together -no electronics (except for maybe the lights or the clocks and such basic things), though.
Which, really, was a good thing, seeing as the 'triplets' were technically from a rather... medieval... time, since there was no such thing as electricity, though there was magic and fire and those simple things...
And it wasn't really like Kyo would get bored any time soon... Or if she did, she had her phone... right?
Well, at least until it died... Hmn... She wondered if she could get a charger or a laptop of some sort around here that was compatible with her phone, or that could at least reach the internet...
Her own laptop would be nice, but...
Wait... She could get her own laptop! All she needed to do was get the girls to cast a summoning spell for her! Duh! She thought, still standing in the middle of the room, as the other three looked around.
Well, at least she had her earbuds, so she wouldn't haven't to explain about everything until later. She knew she'd have to explain things at some point, but...
She could tell them about everything later... Or not, she thought, when she saw that they were all watching her rather expectantly now that Squalo was gone, and they had finished looking around, though at one point they had wondered about the electrical clock, though they figured it was similar to the 'electronics' of some other worlds they had once seen...
Which Kyo would probably not remember about til later, seeing as she had created them, and so knew almost everything about them.
"I think we've waited long enough for an explanation of this world," said Rei quietly, as Hikaru nodded, and Haruka scowled, tapping her foot rather impatiently.
She knew that Kyo knew what she meant -something that was further confirmed as said female sighed, and sat down on the edge of the bed.
"I guess it would be better if we sat down to talk -the explanation might take a while..." she sighed, looking just a bit weary...
Damn, the very explanation she had wanted to hold until later, she thought, as Rei nodded, and the other two settled down on the bed, as Rei cast a silencing spell so that no one could eavesdrop on them, and then settled in herself, before turning her attention to Kyo.
She raised a single slender brow as if to say 'well? we're waiting,' as they all turned their attention towards the girl...
Kyo sighed, "Right... I guess I should start with where we are, before I get to how we got here..." she said, and from the patient nods (and a scowl) she got form the girls, she knew that they agreed...

A/N Shiro: Whoot! Finished Chapter Two! (XD) I completely changed everything except for maybe the first few paragraphs~ And it's sooo much longer than the original! (XD) *sniffs* I'm so happy! (X3) 5,396 words! (at least, before Beta/second Edit) Not quite as long as if I had condensed the original chapter two and three, but after editting it, I found that I didn't like it anymore, and so! I re-typed it completely after school today! Of course, it was after I read through it.
I still like the beginning, though, so I left most of that, and though it's about 900 words shorter, I think this version is much better! ^^
I hope those readers that have read this before like it better as well! (=D)
Well, those readers from my (Murasaki KuroNeko Rei) private account. (=P) Of course, for those loyal readers willing to make the switch to this -thanks so much! ^^ I do hope you like this newer version of things!
Cuz, originally, I was going to just condense and edit the original chapter 2 and 3 into one for this (and I did), but then, like I said, I didn't like it -and I didn't think it would be fair to those that have read the original to have to read -basically- the same thing twice.
So I toootally rewrote it! And I got it done in the same day! *cheers!* Now I just need Kuro-chan (Tsuri-Born) to read through and beta it for me, and I can put it up! I'm sure I can get this up on friday, so hopefully I can start/re-start chapter 3! ^^
Anyways, just so you all know, the beginning will be pretty much similar with a few minor/major changes -such as in this chapter- so that I can make the beginning around 5 chapters, cuz I want to really start the story by then! ^^
Lol. You probably wouldn't get what I'm saying right now, since that would mean you know what's going to happen, but in about five or so chapters, I can promise that there. will. be. romance! (XD)
So like I said -or if not, like I'm saying now- there will be mild drama, a few mature themes within the first few chapter, though not really (I'm not exactly 18 yet, so I won't write much past possible lemons at most. But stick around and I may have changed my mind, seeing as this is a shared account with Tsuri-kun, and she's got nuthin against lemons! (XD)
Okay, I seeeeriously need to stop rambling/ranting so I shall end this note here so that Kuro-chan can beta this! Then I can read through and fix whatever needs changing, and I can -finally- put this up for you to read! ^^
Kuro's Corner: Another wonderful chapter on Shiro's part. Though there where some random "1's" here and there. Shiro-tan, I personally liked it when you fainted every ten seconds in the original version... It was funny. Keep up with the awe-inspiring chapters. And Readers! REVIEW!
Shiro's Segment: What! Meanie! *pouts* Btw, the "1"s were because Fanfiction -for some dreadfully inane reason- does not let you use the '?' and the '!' together... -_-"
So... yeah... Besides, the original version is still posted in my seperate account if you prefer those two chapters (2-3)...
But anyways, thanks for beta-ing, darling~ :heart: I shall post this nao! (XD)
