Jump into the Real World! Chapter 3
I'm personally disappointed in this chapter. I'm sure you all will be too. I feel as though the KHR characters are OOC in this chapter. Aha, you'll see the potty mouth side of Riza in this [fail] chapter. Right! Should I do a Christmas chapter that takes place in the near future (i.e. when the major players of KHR end up in Riza's world?) or with the character(s) that currently reside in Riza's world?
Disclaimer: Me no own KHR. It belongs to Akira Amano. And for Hetalia, see above. Me does own Riza.
Nathan's reflexes weren't fast enough. He was knocked out cold by the black blur. Hibari looked down at the tall man with a look of disappointment along with his usual frown/scowl. The tall, blonde man was weak, even with a Taser (taser? Tazer? I GIVE UP!). He wasn't a very good bodyguard if he got knocked out that fast.
"Tch. Weak herbivore," Hibari noted dryly. Riza jaw dropped. Hibari, the sexy beast of KHR, just knocked out her bodyguard/second mommy. Under normal circumstances, Riza would've fan girled over Hibari for knocking out her bodyguard. Unfortunately, this wasn't a normal circumstance, and Riza did genuinely care about Nathan. His brute strength was not human!
"D-did you really need to knock him out, Hibari-san?" Riza asked nervously. Hibari directed his attention back to Riza who gulped audibly.
"Only the weak have weak bodyguards," Hibari said. Ouch. He didn't have to be so mean about it. Riza frowned.
"R-right. Anyways, Hibari-san, I can't let you leave. Uh, not to be a creepy rapist or whatever – wait. I'm still a virgin, so I can't be a rapist. Can I? Oh right! You can't really leave. You don't know where you are, and not to mention there are people out there who do read and/or watch the manga and anime. They could kidnap you. Wait, no they can't. You'd probably beat them up. Argh! What I'm trying to say is you're in a different world from what you're used to. People you beat up don't heal within a week. You could actually kill them with your brute strength. Second is that you don't know where you are. You'll end up lost. Heck, even I'M not familiar with where I live. I don't really go out much…" Riza said. Hibari shot her a glare.
"What makes you think I'll listen to you?" he sneered. Riza took a step back. Dealing with him was hard. It didn't matter when she said anything because it wouldn't get through to him. She just sighed, her mind resigned.
"Fine. I can't make you stay. You can leave, if you want. I'm just worried about your mental stability once you leave," she said. Hibari shot her a darker glare. "And anyways, if you do leave, you're welcome to come back here," she offered. She smiled at him. "So I guess this is goodbye, Hibari-san?"
Hibari stared at the weird girl in front of him. Tch-ing, he turned on his heels and walked out the door. The house was large enough to get lost in, but somehow, Hibari managed to find his way out. If this girl was lying, he'd come back just to bite her to death.
Riza just stared at the space where Hibari was. What the heck just happened? She wasn't aware of what she was saying when she said it, but what she said just slipped out. She slumped down from where she was standing, cradling her head with her hands.
"Did I just release the vicious Hibari Kyoya on the world?" she whispered to herself. She stayed like that for a moment, whimpering and tears threatening to spill out. She was used to this kind of behavior, she tried reminding herself. It didn't make another difference if another person didn't like her. She had her mother and Nathan. Hibari was a fictional character. This was stupid. She didn't know why his words and actions made her upset, but she knew she didn't like it. For crying out loud, she still had pride! She sniffled. Once her pity party was over, which was approximately five minutes, Riza got up and walked over to Nathan.
"Hey, Nathan? Are you okay?" Riza asked, poking his chest. Nathan groaned, slowly sitting up.
"Was that who I think it was?" Nathan asked. Riza nodded, a sigh of relief escaping her lips. Nathan winced and stood up.
"He packs a punch, I can give him that," Nathan laughed a little, rubbing his neck. Riza smiled. Nathan turned around, completely serious. "Miss Riza, how'd he get here?" Riza shook her head.
"I don't really know myself. I can guess that wishing that the KHR characters were real had an effect," she shrugged. Nathan looked at her, unsure of what to do.
"Do you know how to get him back to his world?"
"Not a clue." Leave it to Riza to be blunt about this. "But I think I need your help."
(If I had my way, Hibari would be in the city completely spazzing out because it's filled with people crowding and he hates crowding. It won't go that way though.)
Hibari walked down a street filled with people. Looking around, he noticed that the city he was in was less like Namimori and more like Tokyo. Everywhere he went, people stood or walked, chattering up storms. No one looked at him in fear like they did in Namimori. That didn't bother him though.
After a while, he noticed several girls pointing and whispering in his direction.
"Hn," he muttered. Some people passed by him, saying, "Nice cosplay!" He paid no attention to them, and continued to walk.
Tsuna couldn't explain the nagging feeling at the back of his head. It was like an itch, constantly tickling the recesses of his brain twenty-four seven. He knew that something was off, but he couldn't really place it. There was something that was supposed to happen, but didn't. He sighed. A flying kick to the cheek sent him out of his thoughts.
"Ciaossu!" the squeaky voice said. Tsuna looked at Reborn, clutching his cheek. This act of affectionate violence really brought back memories, even if it had only been "three days" (try several months in the future) since he'd been gone.
"R-Reborn! What was that kick for?" he yelled. The infant smirked.
"You've noticed something out of place, right?" he asked, tilting his fedora. Tsuna nodded uneasily. "Hm. Care to spill?" he asked, the green Leon gun pointed at his head. Were things finally back to normal?
"HIIIIEEEE! Don't shoot! Don't shoot!" Tsuna shrieked. "I don't know anything! I just have a hunch!"
Reborn frowned. There really was something off, especially since they've got home from the future…
"So what you're saying is that you need to bring Hibari back before he wreaks havoc on the city?" Nathan clarified. Riza nodded. "But you have no way of doing so without irritating Hibari, right?" Riza nodded again, paling slightly. "And you want to lure him back and gain his trust somehow?" She paced her room.
"I can think of ways to irritate him, but I don't know how I'll gain his trust. And this city is big, so we might not know where he's gone," Riza added. "If he gets into a fight, he'll win. No doubt about that," she said.
"I can think of one way to get him back," Nathan began. Riza stopped pacing, turning her full attention to him.
"Really? Say it! We're losing time!" she nearly shouted. Nathan laughed.
"He's a really good fighter, yeah? We need a strong person to fight him." Riza paled to the max. Her sanity was slipping. She could feel it.
"Where the heck am I supposed to find a strong fighter?" Riza yelled. "He knocked you out in a flash and I can't fight to save my life!"
"Simple. We wait for another character to appear," Nathan said. Riza glared at him.
"No way. I am not risking what's left of my sanity to wait for another character to appear. And what if another character doesn't appear? Or worse, what if Mukuro appears? Hibari'll never trust me again! And Mukuro's a difficult character too! Why's my life so screwed?" Riza wailed, flailing her arms.
"Please get your thoughts back together, Miss Riza." Riza shot him a glare that said, 'Do you seriously expect me to calm down and collect my thoughts like a sane person?' She flopped onto her bed, her screams muffled by her mattress. The door closed silently, footsteps echoing. Silence. She closed her eyes and eventually, her breathing became even. She never did feel more alone until now.
"E-excuse me," a childish voice interrupted. Riza groggily opened her eyes. "W-where am I?" Her eyes flew wide open, a squeal erupting from her lips.
"I-Pin!" she grabbed the young girl into a hug, tears streaming down her face.
"Why are you crying?" I-Pin asked. Riza continued to sob, clutching onto the younger girl as though she was a single strand of thread that kept her alive.
"Because, you're my guardian angel, I-Pin," Riza said, comical tears still running down her face. I-pin was very confused, but allowed the older girl to hug her.
It took Riza time to finally calm down. She let poor I-Pin down, remembering her manners.
"I'm so sorry about that! I know you're really confused right now and I'll try to make this simple. My name is Riza Renata," Riza smiled at I-Pin. The younger girl looked at her and nodded. "You're not in Namimori anymore." I-Pin looked at her in confusion, and Riza caught it. "Right! So what I'm trying to say is that you're in a different world." I-Pin made a small 'o' shape with her mouth. "You'll have to stay with me for a while until I figure out how to get you back to Mama." Apparently, that was the wrong thing to say, for I-Pin burst into tears.
"I won't get to see Mama or Lambo?" she asked, crying. Riza blanched, internally face palming herself.
'Shit! What the hell is wrong with me? First, I piss Hibari off and now I make I-Pin cry! I shouldn't have brought up Tsuna's mom! Or Lambo! FUCK MY LIFE!' Riza yelled in her mind.
"I-Pin-chan! Please don't cry! I promise I'll get you back! I just need you to trust me, and I promise I'll protect you in any way I can!" Riza vowed. I-Pin stopped crying, looked at her, and then nodded. "Thank you so much, I-Pin," Riza said, breathing a sigh of relief. Finally, something was going right. "Now that you're here, do you have your Master Fong doll?" I-Pin nodded. "Thank goodness! Could I please see it?" Riza asked. I-Pin nodded, pulling out the plushie. Riza took it, grasping it gently. On the inside, she was squealing over the fact that she was holding the Fong doll that kind of-not-really resembled the storm Arcobaleno infant.
"I-Pin, don't cry. This girl will take care of you. You can trust her," Riza said, lowering her voice to try and match the real Fong. I-Pin laughed.
"Master! I-Pin will do her best!" the girl shouted. Riza laughed and hugged I-Pin.
"Thank you so much, I-Pin. Are you hungry?" Riza asked. She nodded. Riza smiled and held I-Pin. "Let's go see if Nathan made dinner yet."
Hibari's stomach growled. He hadn't had anything to eat since he left the herbivore's house. Oh well. He could always beat some guy up and take his money to buy food. Strangely enough, he found himself walking in the direction of that herbivore's house…
"Ne, ne, Mama! Have you seen I-Pin?" Lambo whined. Nana Sawada leaned down and patted Lambo's dark 'fro.
"I haven't seen her since lunch, Lambo," she said. She stood up again, a thoughtful look on her face. "Try asking Tsu-kun. I'm going to make dinner now. What would you like to eat?"
"Hamburger steak!" the cow child promptly replied. "Thanks, Mama!" He ran up to Tsuna's room.
"Ne ne, Tsuna! Have you seen I-Pin?" he asked. The young Vongola boss looked at him. "And give me candy!" he shouted.
"Lambo, don't just demand candy from people," Tsuna sighed. "No, I haven't seen I-Pin. Go ask Bianchi," he added. The little cow child ran off. Tsuna thought about what he just said. Wait. I-Pin was missing? She was there for lunch. Was she kidnapped? No. She could fight well for her age, so she should've been fine. And they would've heard her yell, too. What was going on here?
"Xie xie! (A/N – Please tell me if I got the phonetic spelling right or wrong. I couldn't access Google Translate, so yeah…)" I-Pin cheered. Riza couldn't help but smile at her enthusiastic personality. I-Pin really was her lifesaver. If anyone else other than I-Pin, Tsuna, Yuni, Chrome, or any other sane character came, Riza would've lost it.
"Thanks for the dinner, Nathan!" Nathan slightly nodded and cleared the table.
"Miss Riza, have you figured out how to get them back to their world?" he asked. I-Pin slightly frowned which Riza noticed.
"Nathan. Not to be rude, but this subject will be taboo from now on," she declared. She motioned to him and whispered in his ear, "We'll talk about this later." Riza turned the the Chinese girl sitting across from her. "Would you like to sleep in my room, I-Pin?" I-Pin nodded, smiling. Riza squealed. I-Pin was just too cute! Just like the little sister she dreamed of having. "We can talk about anything you want! You can tell me any secret. I promise I'll keep it hidden!" I-Pin giggled. Riza smiled. Thank goodness for I-Pin. At that moment, a solid knock echoed on the door. She got up and walked to the reception room to open the door. The chestnut door swung open and a skylark stood before her. (A/N – Here I should mention the layout of Riza's house in minor detail. The front door opens the reception room. From the reception room, there's stairs that lead to the various bedrooms/bathrooms/rec rooms. From the reception room is a hallway that leads to two rooms: the kitchen and the dining room, both doors are doorways, not doors. The kitchen and the dining room are connected with doorways, too.)
"H-Hibari-san?" Riza stood frozen. Shock was firm on her face, forcing her jaw to drop. Hibari simply walked past her, refusing to acknowledge her existence. Recovering from her shock, Riza ran past Hibari. "Hold up, you! I want answers!" she mustered up her best serious face. Heh. We all know she's shaking like a leaf on the inside.
"I came back for dinner," was his simple reply. Her jaw dropped for the third (?) time that day. What a freeloader!
"F-fine. Nathan! Could you prepare another meal?" she called out. Nathan walked into the hallway, and shock also took residence on his face.
"Of course…" he simply stared at Hibari. Riza sighed and snapped her fingers in front of his face, bringing him back to planet Earth. He went back to the kitchen, leaving Riza and Hibari alone.
"Just follow me," Riza sighed. Hibari made no comment and followed her down the hallway into the dining room. She should have given that a second thought.
"H-Hibari-san," I-Pin mumbled. The little Chinese hitman drooled, hearts replacing her eyes. Riza face palmed herself then quickly ran to the wall to bang her head against it.
'And I decided to forget the little crush I-Pin had on Hibari. Fuck my life. Fuck my life. Fuck my life. Fuck my life. Fuck my – Wait. OH MAI SHIT! PINZU TIME BOMB! PINZU TIME BOMB! PINZU TIME BOMB! I NEED TO CHUCK I-PIN INTO THE SKY!' Riza spazzed in her mind. Hibari stood there, making no attempt to throw the Chinese girl outside. I-Pin attached herself onto Riza's leg, holding onto the older girl's leg with a vice grip.
"Are you just gonna stand there? Help me out here!" Riza snapped, trying to pry I-Pin off her. Hibari only smirked and sat on a dining room chair. 'Jerk. Wait. OMAIGOSH! I-PIN'S TIMER 'S GONNA GO BOOM!'
3…2…1…*BA-BANG (a gong noise)* *BOOM*
"Nathan?" Riza moaned. Her man mommy/bodyguard rushed to her side. Hibari excused himself to dinner.
"Yes Miss Riza?"
"When I die, please bury me with my Vongola guardians pillow," she mumbled. Nathan raised an eyebrow.
"You won't die."
"Yes, I will."
"No, you won't."
"Yes, I will."
"Not."
"…I'm dead."
"Go shower, Miss Riza. You stink."
"…I love you too, Nathan. Wait. GYAAAAAAAH! I SMELL HORRIBLE! WHAT THE FUCK? IS THIS WHY I'M STILL ALIVE? 'CUZ INSTEAD OF BEING BLOWN UP INTO SMITHEREENS, I'LL STINK? EFF MY LIFE!" Riza screeched. Hibari looked up from his spaghetti Neapolitan.
"Shut up, herbivore. You smell like trash," he said. Riza snapped, a solid and satisfying crackle echoing in her mind.
"SHUT UP YOU! AND I HAVE A NAME! IT'S NOT HERBIVORE. IT'S RIZA. RIZA FIA MARIE RENATA! REMEMBER IT, OR DIE! I DON'T GO AROUND CALLING YOU TRASH OR HERBIVORE OR WHATEVER THE HELL YOU SAY! HELL, I CALL YOU BY YOUR PROPER NAME FROM JAPAN! AND WHAT THE HECK? HOW IS IT THAT YOU CAN UNDERSTAND ME WHEN I'M SPEAKING ENGLISH AND YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO KNOW ONLY JAPANESE? GAH!" Hibari didn't make a comment, and continued to eat. Riza panted, her rant draining her energy. It felt surprisingly good. A load off her flat chest, if you will.
"Hn. Herbivore," he said. Riza glared at him. No effect.
"Oh! I just realized!" she said. "How is it that you can understand me?" Cue face palm.
"Miss Riza, I think it has to do with the fact that we're in a fan fiction created by an idiot monkey," Nathan said, appearing magically.
"The fuck? Don't go breaking the fourth wall, you," she said. I-Pin tugged at the bottom of her pants. "Yes, I-Pin?" she smiled sweetly at the younger girl.
"Can we go to bed now? I'm tired," she said.
"Of course, I-Pin! Just let me take a bath!" Riza chirped. Hibari raised an eyebrow. What a weird woman. He wasn't going to let her go unpunished. After all, talking back to the esteemed president of the Disciplinary Committee could be considered for punishment.
"Hey, herbivore," Hibari called out. Riza scowled but turned to him.
"Yes, Your Highness?" she seethed, sarcasm dripping venomously off her words.
"I'll bite you to death later." Hibari smirked. Riza rolled her eyes, waving a hand lazily in front of him.
"Yeah, yeah. Do it later. I smell," she said. She turned her attention back to I-Pin. "Do you want to take a bath with me, I-Pin? We have a huge bathroom!" she said. She made a show of expanding her arms to exaggerate the huge bathtub.
"Hai! Xie xie!" the younger girl sing-songed.
"Nathan, show Hibari to his room. I-Pin, let'sa goooooooo!" Riza laughed, grabbing the younger girl and running off. Giggling could be heard. What a strange main character. Nathan sighed.
"You heard the young miss. Would you like me to lead you to your room, Hibari-san?" Nathan asked. Hibari slightly nodded, trailing behind him when Nathan began to walk. Hibari would bite that herbivore to death. Watch your back Riza Fia blah blah blah blah.
"Ahhhh! I don't smell funny anymore~," Riza sighed. I-Pin frowned.
"Gomenasai," she said. Riza raised an eyebrow at the Chinese girl and broke out into a grin.
"Don't worry about it! It's not your fault that Hibari is pretty hot. Any girl who didn't know of his personality would totally have a crush on him!" she gushed, hugging the girl. I-Pin smiled. "Now let's go to bed."
Lambo swore he was going to cry if he didn't see I-Pin. She was the only one who ever actually played with him. Not like that stupid loser Reborn.
"Would you like a bullet to the head, cow?" Reborn asked sweetly, holding the Leon gun to his head.
"N-no, stupid Reborn," Lambo stuttered. "Gyahahaha! I'm the better hitman!" Reborn sipped his expresso calmly, even though it was already night.
"Whatever helps you sleep at night, stupid. Now get out of my face!" With that, he threw a swift kick to Lambo's head. He sailed out the window.
"Hold…it…in…" Lambo whimpered. He was close to crying, but it wasn't because of Reborn's kick (though it did hurt). 'Where are you Tail-Head?' he wondered.
"Hiiiiiii-aaaaah!" Riza clutched her chest. She had run into Hibari when she was walking to her room. Hibari stood before her, smirking. "Ahaha…what's with that smirk?" she asked, slowly backing away.
"I'm pretty hot? Hn." He smirked. Bastard. He probably heard her earlier statement. "Whatever. I'm still going to bite you to death."
"P-please tell me that you mean that in a sexual way?" she pleaded. Oh how desperate she sounded.
"Prepare to be bitten to death, herbivore," he growled. He pulled his metal tonfas from the mysterious Namimori jacket that held stuff but showed no evidence of it.
"OWWWWW! QUIT IT! NOT THE HEAD! GAH!"
And that was how Riza ended up with many bruises, a black eye, and her pride shattered beyond repair.
*whistles* Wao. 14 reviews makes a person really happy! So here's the Freakin' Thanks Corner!
Lightning587 – Haha, I know I was PMing you earlier, but thanks again for the review! Eh? Gassing Hibari…Probably wouldn't work…And if it did, I think we'd have a KO'd Hibari. XD
TheParadoxicalOtaku – Erm, he has a taser (Taser? Tazer? Gah!) Because he's a bodyguard? I thought it was better having a taser (I give up. Tch.) instead of a gun…Haha! Agreed! I think I babble when it comes to talking to guys. No, I just giggle. And smile. A lot. And it irks me. *eye twitch* Just cuz it doesn't seem like me. *shrugs* Ah, rest assured, he'll live as you just saw in the chapter. Thanks for the review!
Fye Chroix – AGREED! Although, I'd rather have Alaude, or maybe Adult Fong, or TYL Hibari, or Giotto, or maybe TYL Tsuna…Gah! So many bishies~ Aha, while writing it, I thought it would be better having her ramble than keep a straight face. I know for SURE that I'd ramble when talking to him. That or have a massive nosebleed. Thanks for the review!
Bishi-bishi – What a long review…I LUBS CHUU. I WAS ABLE TO UNDERSTAND IT ALL. YAHOOO~! Is it weird to be jealous of my own OC? Hurr hurr…If it were me, I'd probably keep the girls in my kitchen. Make me a sammich! :D ('cept Chrome cuz she's just that awesome). Yeah, I've noticed that. And a lot of transporting the cast back to the past to meet the first generation Vongola. I like stories like that though, but I saw a lack of transporting the charas to the real world. Makes total sense! Haha! Nice! I should've, especially the scene where he fights Adelheid…*bangs head against wall* And Tsuna? Hmm, that wouldn't really work, at least not yet. Everyone'd cause a real commotion if Tsuna went missing, so not him yet (but me wants to~). Eh, nah. I'm gonna make the readers squirm by bringing a new chara in every 5 chapters…Just kidding! I'll have to get Hibari comfortable with Riza (but not like that), and then bring in the next chara. This chapter was pretty long, and all for the purpose of bringing in the next character~. It sucks though. Haha! It's fine! I love long reviews, but I've probably pissed off a lot of people. Now that I think about it, my foot's getting kind of numb too…
Amethystgirl1943 – Thanks! Mm, no. Cliffies are too fun. And I don't really think the last chapter had a cliffy…I could've made worse, I guess…Thanks for the review!
Blueberryxn – Thank you very much! And to answer your question, yes they will…eventually. :D
Pineapple the Fourth – First, I wanna say this: You have a freakin' awesome pen name. And second, regarding the Hetalia thingy (which I don't own, copyrighted by Hidekaz Himaruya), I'll go back and put a disclaimer. I don't think he ate all the food…he might have? I don't really know myself, haha… And yaoi? Urrmm…I don't really have plans on it, but I might if other readers demand it…Yeah, I probably won't.
And thanks to Serika Ootori, elleraine08, Pineapple the Fourth, AliceofDeath, and moonlight phonex101 for the alerts! Gosh, what a long response…
Gyah! Finally done! I finished the manga and the anime and HOT DAYUM! Hibari is so freakin' HAWT! Ah, but this chapter was absolute crap~. So I'd like to know if you guys want a Christmas chapter that takes place in the near future, or a chapter with the characters that have already appeared (Hibari and I-Pin). Ciao~!
