There was a knock at the door. "Come in." Hibari was still staring at Mukuro, musing what the demon's powers could be, when Byakuran and Kusakabe once again entered the room. Their eyes instantly went to the bite mark on Mukuro's neck.
"Seems like you've had your fun while we were out Hibari kun." Hibari turned to look at him. "Did you bring the photo herbivore?" Byakuran's sweet smile turned into a smirk. "Yup. Kim felt it was necessary to take a picture of her and her guardians. Pretty stupid isn't it?" The white haired vampire laughed at the poor woman, even though she was already dead. "Let me see it." Mukuro approached him, his hand reaching towards Byakuran to get the picture. But the vampire had other interests.
He took the demon's hand and pulled him close, their faces only inches apart. Truth to be told, Mukuro didn't see that coming, but what he expected even less was the dark and dangerous growl which was coming from Hibari's direction. He couldn't possibly be jealous, could he? Byakuran looked as though he was going to laugh again. "Now, now Hibari kun, I'm just playing." To prove his point he let go of the other's mate hand and took a step back.
Seeing that the vampire king was still staring angrily at his subordinate, if you could describe Byakuran as such, Mukuro had to suppress a chuckle. It seemed to him that the other was saying the truth. The demon was sure that Byakuran just liked to mess with Hibari. But still, he was a bit surprised at the raven's actions and that the other vampire had known he would react like this.
"Anyway, would you please let me see that picture now?" The man in question fetched something out of his pocket. "You are glad that I even kept it. The only reason I still had it was because I wanted something to remember the others' faces so that I could kill them too if necessary." Mukuro looked him straight into the eyes. "You didn't kill them yet? But does that mean that they know that Kim is dead and you killed her?" Byakuran chuckled a bit. "No, they don't. I wasn't sure if I was going to need them anymore, so I just told them that Kim ran away, probably because of the note she received. They aren't really smart, plus no one liked her as much as they liked me, so they believed what I told them." The demon seemed to be satisfied with that.
When Byakuran was handing the picture to Mukuro, Hibari watched closely. He didn't know why he had reacted like that, hell he didn't even think about it before hand. Of course did he know that Byakuran just wanted to tease him, but he also knew that if Mukuro was willing, the white haired bastard would take him right here and now. All it needed was seeing that white haired prick touch his mate and he got seriously angry. It was bothering. He didn't want to feel like that. He knew having a soul mate would make him weak. The raven silently wished for a damn time machine to appear.
When Mukuro took the picture he avoided to be touched again. Normally he tried to have as less body contact as possible. Now there was of course one exception. Holding the photograph in his hand he took a look at it. Altogether there were five people to see, all of them vampires the demon guessed. In the middle was standing a, quit attractive, woman. She had straight waist long red hair and dark green eyes. Even though she was a red head she had no freckles. Her face looked as if it was made of porcelain. Mukuro could also make out that she was wearing a short and shoulder free black dress with no specific patterns. That was enough. He didn't need to know more about her for now.
Hibari was still looking at Mukuro when he felt a change in the atmosphere around the demon. There was a slight breeze coming out of nowhere. It lifted Mukuro's hair up, revealing his red eye which surprisingly had now the Japanese number one written in it. Suddenly mist engulfed the demon's figure and when it lifted, Mukuro wasn't there anymore.
Instead there was standing a tall woman with long red hair and beautiful green eyes. Hibari felt as though he was about to panic. What the hell happened to Mukuro? Looking at Byakuran and Kusakabe he saw that those two were just as surprised as him.
"Kufufu, not bad, right?" That laugh, it couldn't be, could it? Yes it could, Hibari felt it, felt him. "What are you guys staring at? It's me, Mukuro. Never seen an illusionist before?" Mukuro loved to see the expressions of those three right now. Kusakabe just stared at him in utter shock. Byakuran even looked as though he had just seen a ghost. But Hibari was the best. He had never seen him even slightly panicked before and he loved every second of it. His amusement faded a little when he actually felt his panic and fear. Damn bond. He could also feel it when Hibari got angry, really angry.
"Don't you ever dare to do something like that without any kind of warning again, or I'll bite you to death!" Mukuro lifted a brow. First that guy nearly panics because he thought he was gone and now the same guy was threatening him with death? His mate really did have a weird personality.
"Wow, is that really you Mukuro chan? Incredible! You look just like her!" Byakuran seemed as delighted as a child which had just seen its first magic trick. "Really impressive, indeed. So your demonic power is to create illusions?" Kusakabe was still staring at him, but now with interest instead of shock. Mukuro chuckled. "Truth to be told, it's just one out of six." Byakuran managed to laugh again. "Now wonder Mukuro chan is the leader of demons."
Hibari was just listening to the others. First he got angry because Byakuran touched his mate and now he almost panicked because for a second he didn't know where Mukuro was. He had to suppress the urge not to grind his teeth. This was hilarious! He never really cared for anyone and now he was acting just as stupid as all those herbivores he detested. He seriously had to find a way to undo the bond.
Even though the raven was shocked at first, he had to admit that Mukuro's abilities could come in handy. Normally he didn't like such things, they were like hiding and had nothing to do with strength, but this time they could really use it for good. Plus, somehow he knew that the demon was strong, even if he was an illusionist.
Mist engulfed Mukuro once again, and when it was gone, so was the illusion. "Byakuran, I need you to tell me every little thing you know about Kim, because if we're really going to do this I have to act exactly like she did." A smug grin appeared on Byakuran's face. "And if I told you she acted like a whore, flirting with everyone in sight and jumping into bed with everyone who was interested?" Hibari tensed a little. "Well, then I just have to act like the whore she was."
For a second the vampire king thought that he didn't hear well, that he must have misunderstood. Byakuran's grin just got wider. "Really? I'd honestly like to see that." Mukuro chuckled without any sign of discomfort. "As long as it's just an illusion and not my real body I don't care. If my illusion is strong enough and my enemy doesn't try to kill me I won't feel anything through it if I don't want to."
It was true what he said. When he wore one of his illusion he didn't care if he was touched because he didn't have to feel it and it wasn't his body that was touched. Truth to be told, even while wearing an illusion, he had never gone to bed with anyone, but beside that he did almost everything. He had a really deceiving nature so the demon had no problem with it at all. Actually, it could be really fun.
"Fufufu, that's good, because I didn't lie about her character one bit. She really was a men eating woman." The demon had thought so. "That's not going to happen." Byakuran and Mukuro both turned around. At first they just saw a very nervous Kusakabe, but beside him was Hibari, a furious Hibari.
The raven was pissed, god was he pissed. Talking about something like that so nonchalantly in front of him. What the hell? Thanks to the damn bond he couldn't even take it if Byakuran was touching his mate and now he should act like whore? That was just plain ridiculous.
"Even if I don't like it, as long as you are my mate I won't allow you to flirt, touch or do anything else with anyone else than me! And if you still do it I may be not capable of killing you, but I swear, I'll definitely hurt you a lot! You got that in your stupid little herbivore brain of yours?" By the end of his speech Hibari was growling so deep and dangerous that he really did sound like a wild animal.
Byakuran was stunned. Kusakabe was a little more than just stunned. Rokudo Mukuro was actually shocked. It did take a lot to leave him speechless with his mouth slightly opened. Was he for real? Did THE Hibari Kyoya really just say that? Normally he wasn't that slow to comprehend something, he was actually quit smart, but well, he had been really shocked.
At first Mukuro thought about how cute the other's jealousy was, then he replayed in his head what exactly the vampire had said, getting slightly annoyed at the insults at the end and then he got angry himself when he realized the whole content of Hibari's speech.
"You won't allow me? Who the hell do you think you are to tell me what I'm allowed to do and what not? I didn't say anything up until now about you threatening me, but why would you think I'd keep up with that? I'm the fucking leader of the damn demons so you can't tell me off!"
Byakuran and Kusakabe actually took cover before the immense power the two mates were emitting now. Hibari and Mukuro were standing in front of each other, each trying to glare the other down. The air around them seemed to be charged. Kusakabe even feared they were about to attack one another. Damn, he even started to shake. It had always been hard on him only to take Hibari's anger but now the demon's one too? He just hoped he wouldn't collapse.
"Now, now, you mates are supposed to be good to each other, you shouldn't be fighting like that." Byakuran had made a brave step forward, intending to get their attention and bring back peace. If they really wanted to get Lugh they had no time for this.
It worked, but not as he wanted it to. They were now glaring at him, directing their killing intent at him. Even a man like Byakuran didn't like that.
"Who the hell asked you?" the raven's growl was more animal like that ever. Byakuran didn't waver, his pride didn't allow it. "Come on now you two, we have no time for that. You can spit, growl, scratch or even fuck each other's brain out for all that I care, but only after we dealt with Lugh." This time Byakuran didn't smile or even smirk. He was dead serious.
"Che, fine, but as I just said, I will not approve of such a stupid plan." Byakuran knew that the plan was perfect but he wasn't going to tell him that. He liked messing with the king, but there was a thin line he tried not to cross.
"The plan wasn't stupid! What's stupid is you!" Byakuran didn't say that, honestly. Mukuro was standing beside the raven; his arms folded in front of his chest and looked rather annoyed. The white haired vampire didn't think that this man could be so childish. The angelic smile appeared again. It amused him to no end.
Before Hibari could even think about what to counter Kusakabe reacted. "If we all calm down now a bit I'm sure that we'll be able to find a solution everybody is fine with." Hibari snorted, while Mukuro was looking as though he was going to pout.
Byakuran was swiftly connecting to where Kusakabe ended. "I think we should mainly stick to the old plan, BUT we'll pretend that Kim fell head over heels in love with someone and therefore isn't flirting around anymore. Could you two go with that?"
Mukuro looked at him skeptical. "That would be a pretty huge change in character, but then again it's said that love can cause so many things. I'd say it's a play with the fire." Byakuran looked over to Hibari, anticipating his answer. "I think I can live with that." Kusakabe sighed in relieve.
"Well then the only thing left is that I tell Mukuro chan everything I know." When the two mates nodded and went to take a seat, the other two exchanged a look that said it all. They were just glad that they had made it somehow through the last few minutes.
