I do not own KHR
Different Worlds, One Love -4-
When Hibari had walked into the main hall, he was faced with hard stares, especially from the Vongola leader.
"Hibari-san." Tsuna greeted coldly. Hibari then saw that all of the Vongola's friends are here and narrowed his eyes at a certain blonde who is grinning at him.
"Why are you crowding, and in my castle?" Hibari said casually as Tsuna kept glaring at him.
"Where did you take Sora-chan?" Tsuna said, eyes unwavering.
"How should I know, herbivore?"
"You were the only person we could think of, especially after your attack on Sora-chan." Hibari was amused; the usually weak Vongola is now standing before him, eyes blazing with determination, just because of him taking his cousin.
"If you suspect me because of that, wouldn't I kill her already?" Tsuna growled at Hibari who smirked at him.
"You forgot, Hibari. That a few of us here knew what kind of vampire you are, especially when you have taken interest in someone." Reborn said, smirking.
"Now, now Kyoya, it's rude to kidnap someone, especially Tsuna's cousin." Hibari then glared at the still grinning blonde.
"Give it up, Skylark-kun. We got you cornered; do you think I'd let you go easily? Especially after making my dear Chrome so worried?" Mukuro chuckled.
'Well, we're friends now, I guess? That means if I tell you my story, you can tell yours' Her words rang in his mind. How could he let these people take her away from him, even if she doesn't belong in his castle.
"Try me." Hibari said as he growled. Reborn and Dino then shook his head as Mukuro chuckled, Tsuna then kept glaring at him while Yamamoto was holding Gokudera back from pouncing on Hibari. Chrome was glaring at Hibari as Mukuro stood in front of her, knowing how his little Chrome wanted to get angry at Hibari so bad.
"If you don't give Sora-chan back soon, we might have to use force, Hibari-san." Tsuna said.
"And if I don't care?" Tsuna then took out his gloves as Hibari get into his stance before a voice stopped them.
"Stop it!" All of the inhabitants in the room looked towards the stairs and saw a familiar face peeking out from the edge.
"Sora-chan!" Tsuna said in relieve, as he wanted to run towards his cousin before Hibari beat him first and pulled Soraoi into his arms. Hibari then glare towards the rest as he kept Soraoi close to him.
"… Kyoya…?" Soraoi said confusedly as Tsuna's brain dropped dead when his dear cousin called the feared vampire by his first name.
"S-Sora-chan, are you alright? Hibari-san didn't do anything to you, right? You're not hurt?"
"I'm okay Tsu-kun, Kyoya saved me. I'm sorry for disappearing on you… but I was not allowed to go outside…" Soraoi said before she coughed. Tsuna went alert when he saw blood trailing from Soraoi's mouth.
"I'm okay… I guess I'm too tired today…" Soraoi said, smiling apologetically towards the others as she wiped the blood from her mouth before breaking into a coughing fit once more.
"Sora!" Dino said worriedly. Soraoi's widened her eyes when he saw Dino before trying to smile at him while still coughing.
"Dino nii… what are you doing here?" Soraoi said tiredly.
"I'm worried about you of course…" Dino said, smiling at her. Hibari, somehow jealous at how Soraoi seemed too happy to see Dino, then carried her bridal style away from the others.
"Kyoya…?"
"You need to rest…" Hibari said, unable to mask his worry, hands tightening on Soraoi's body. Soraoi then smiled and closed her eyes, resting her head on Hibari's chest.
"Thank you, Kyoya…" Hibari smiled softly at Soraoi as he hurried towards her room, leaving the others who worriedly looking at each other, except for Reborn and Mukuro who are chuckling and Dino who was surprised at how swift and fast Hibari is.
"Is Sora-chan gonna be okay…?" Tsuna asked worriedly.
"Why don't you follow him, Tsuna?" Yamamoto asked.
"But… somehow, Hibari-san seemed to be… attached to Sora-chan…" Tsuna said unsurely. Dino then patted Tsuna's shoulder.
"Sora's a special girl, she is full of surprises. But for now, why don't we follow Kyoya and see how Sora is doing? Standing here worrying isn't going to do us any good." Tsuna then nodded as Reborn looked towards the rest.
"Yamamoto, Gokudera, Ryouhei, all of you should go back. I don't think Hibari will tolerate it if we crowd around Hibari, especially if Soraoi is resting." Gokudera then protested while being held back by Yamamoto and Ryouhei.
"Bianchi and the others are also worried about her, why don't you tell her she's currently here and resting. I don't think she will be able to handle the journey back to the castle. Tell them she's okay." Ryouhei and Yamamoto nodded and dragged the still protesting Gokudera out from the castle.
"Dear Chrome, do you want to get back to Chikusa and Ken?" Chrome shook her head.
"I'm worried about Soraoi-chan… I don't want to leave her alone for too long… I'm worried…" Mukuro smiled and patted Chrome's head.
"Then I'll go back first then, I don't think Skylark-kun will appreciate it when I hand around any longer. He'll probably tolerate you more, since you're close to Vongola-kun's cousin. When you need anything, you know how to call me." Chrome then nodded.
"Well then, I'll be taking my leave, Vongola-kun, Reborn-san, Bronco-san." Mukuro said, leaving the castle.
"Well, we should go then, we might get lost here if we lost Hibari's scent." Reborn said as everyone quickly walked towards the stairs.

Hibari had kicked Soraoi's door open and quickly placed her on the bed, pulling up the blanket as Kusakabe quickly walked over to him. Kusakabe saw Soraoi's shallow breath and blood on her lips and looked and Hibari worriedly.
"Kyo-san."
"Look after her, make sure she rests properly. And make sure no one comes in here." Hibari said before walking out from the room. Kusakabe then sighed and looked towards Soraoi's face.
"Soraoi-san… I know you have made your mind about it, but if you change your mind, I'm sure Kyo-san will be very glad…" Kusakabe said, sighing as he watched Hibird chirping and landed on the bed sheet.
"Please be quiet, Soraoi-san is sleeping." Kusakabe said to the yellow bird. The bird then tilted its head and rested itself on the pillow next to Soraoi's head.
"Kyo-san changed a lot because of you, Soraoi-san. He seemed a bit more peaceful now… I hope you would find it in your heart to forgive him if he's done anything wrong…" Kusakabe said before a knock was heard on the door. Kusakabe was suspicious, there is no way Hibari would knock on the door and he slowly opened the door to see the Vongola in front of him.
"Ah, Vongola-san. Can I help you with something?"
"Can I come in, Kusakabe-san? Is Sora-chan alright?"
"Kyo-san had told me not to let anyone in, I'm afraid, Vongola-san. But Soraoi-san is currently resting."
"I'll take full responsibility if Kyoya sees us inside, we're very worried about Sora." Dino said.
"I'm afraid I can't, Bronco-san… Soraoi-san might be disturbed."
"Kusakabe, if you don't let us in, we won't leave. And if Hibari saw us in here, we'll take full responsibility, we only wanted to make sure Soraoi is safe." Reborn said. Kusakabe then sighed and moved out from the way.
"Please be quiet, Soraoi-san is resting. She needs to rest as often as possible." Kusakabe said as Reborn, Chrome, Tsuna and Dino walked into the room. Chrome quickly knelt beside Soraoi's bed and held her hand.
"Soraoi-chan… please be okay soon, we're all worried… and please, please change your mind… I don't want to lose my closest friend…" Kusakabe's eyes softened, seeing Chrome's pleas and turned towards Reborn and Dino.
"What is her condition when she was brought here?"
"It seemed that her heart is starting to have difficulty… her time is short. I don't think she will last until the end of the week… but Soraoi-san is determined not to choose her blood…"
"I might be crazy, but I wish Kyoya could change her mind… seeing that they seem to get closer just in one day." Dino sighed.
"I don't think you should call it a crazy wish, but perhaps Hibari is the one who held the key on changing Soraoi's mind… Soraoi doesn't realize it that we actually wanted her to keep on trying…" Reborn said.
"Well… time will tell, right?" Dino asked Reborn who shrugged.
"Is Sora-chan going to be okay…?"
"Let's just hope she'll change her mind soon, Tsuna… Let's just hope…" Dino said, patting Tsuna's slumped shoulder.
"Let's go Chrome. We can visit her tomorrow." Reborn said as Chrome reluctantly let go of Soraoi's hand.
"Get better soon, Soraoi-chan…" Chrome whispered before leaving the room with the others.

Hibari watched from his window when Tsuna, Reborn, Dino and Chrome had walked out and sighed. Hibari admit it that having Soraoi in his castle seemed to have change his mood, he felt as if his burden was lifted. He actually never had any friends, and Soraoi was the first one who bluntly said that they're friends and could share stories with each other. Hibari was interested when Soraoi had told him about her family, a nice, warm and welcoming family. Hibari had never really felt how a family was like, he only knew that he should be stronger and be the strongest.
Hibari could now finally feel welcomed when Soraoi would listen to his past and would always smile at him. It eases his mind, but as he remember Soraoi's almost ending life, he wondered how he could possibly change her mind. He knew she would be angry with him if he forced her to change her mind and he didn't want to lose her just because of a small thing. Soraoi is a unique person, he had never met any person like her, especially a woman. Hibari might had others swooning at his feet, but he never actually like being with others. Soraoi is different, just like what Reborn had said to him for the first time. Hibari then rubbed his temples and stood up from his chair, his feet taking him into a familiar room.
Hibari opened the door and saw Kusakabe quickly stood straight in front of him and bowed.
"Kyo-san."
"… I will tolerate you this once for letting those herbivores in. Now leave." Kusakabe bowed and quickly left the room. Hibari walked closer to the bed and sat beside the still resting Soraoi. Hibari noticed Hibird opening its little eyes and chirped. Hibari moved his hand to signal the bird to be quiet and the bird then flew and perched itself on Hibari's head. Hibari then watched closely at Soraoi's steady breath and her peaceful face. Hibari smiled a small smile before running his hand on Soraoi's brown hair.
"No…" Hibari was a bit surprised at Soraoi's sudden movement and saw tears trailing down Soraoi's eyes and she kept turning around.
"No… please… don't kill them… please…" It seemed she was having a nightmare when her parents died. Hibari's eyes softened, remembering what Soraoi had told him about her family. Soraoi really treasures her family, a family he had never had experienced in his life. Hibari then wiped Soraoi's tears, not knowing what to do calm her down.
"Tsu-kun… Dino nii…" Hibari felt something tightening inside of him when he heard Soraoi calling the Vongola and the Bronco's name. Hibari then felt anger inside of him and took Soraoi into his arms, holding her close.
"Kyoya… is something wrong…?" Soraoi said, half-opening her eyes.
"… go back to sleep." Soraoi shook her head and relaxed herself in Hibari's arms.
"Kyoya… thank you… and I'm sorry…" Soraoi whispers, not knowing that Hibari could hear her loud and clear with his keen hearing.
"You're going to live." Soraoi widened his eyes at Hibari's words and smiled.
"… thank you, for being my friend."
