Kryptonite - chapter 6 ^^

Disclaimer: I don't own Katekyo Hitman Reborn. If I did, there would be a lot more coupling amongst the characters! I'm just borrowing Amano Akira's characters for the sake of this story because I love it! *shot*

Azura stood there motionless. Hundreds of thoughts raced through her mind. 'You're joking right? Yoji, if this is payback or something for the height comments earlier, its going a step too far.'

'Azura' Hibari whispered under his breath 'We're not joking'

'N-no' She fell to her knees, hands crumpled against her face.

'Azura' The head master started. 'I've arranged a car to pick you up and drive you down to the hos-'

'No!' she screamed at the top of her lungs. 'No, your lying, Hibari, you saw her Saturday right? You told me she was fine!'

She was looking straight at the skylark, but he remained silent, his head turned away and out the window from her accusing gaze.

The next few hours seemed like years; the car to the hospital was shrouded by an eerie silence. All she seemed capable of was meaningless mumbles and staring blankly out of the window, trapped in her own world. She didn't flinch when Hibari grasped her cold face and uttered in a commanding voice, 'Your staying with me.' Her expression never changed from the impassive mask she now wore. She reminded him of himself as she looked out the window, lights dancing about her glistening cheeks.

Walking into the hospital wasn't much different. Her pace mated the nurses exactly as she walked down the long corridors. Grey walls dissolved into nothing as they reached the door. She gripped the prefect's hand lightly making him finally face her.

'You know Hibari' she said in a small, almost whispering tone 'this is the second time I've had to do this. Please, don't make me do this again.

And with that she entered the white room out of his grasp; out of his embrace. Only soft sobs could be heard behind closed doors.

When they finally reached Hibari's home, which would now be their home, she simply drifted like a ghost to the bathroom, turned on the shower and sat underneath.

Water mercilessly pelted down on her as she held her knees into her chest and sobbed uncontrollably into them.

It didn't matter that her school uniform (which now clung to her every fibre) was soaking; she wouldn't be using it for a while anyway. She just wanted the smell of that place which clung to the back of her throat, which weaved itself through her hair to be gone.

In the end, she didn't notice the door click open and Hibari standing there in the arch. Not even when he sat next to her, allowing the water to shower the embracing couple. She didn't care; she wanted it all to go away.

After an hour or so of pure silence, a drenched Hibari spoke, 'I've been informed that the funerals this Saturday. This means your not going to go to school' Uttered in hushed tones.

Her head shook in his arms. 'No' she mumbled, changing her mind. 'I'll go'

The rest of the week was quiet. No one dared speak to her 'encase you provoked something' the prefect would say to her classmates.

Finally Saturday arrived and Hibari accompanied her to the funeral.

'Hibari' she mumbled, her eyes where swollen red with large dark rings underneath. Why didn't he notice this sooner?

'Would you mind giving me some time with mum?' she asked looking at the slab of marble. Without a second thought he turned away from he petite girl.

The heavens opened. Grey clouds turned to black as tears fell from the sky, almost as if mourning for her mother them self.

Hours sped by. Her lifeless body splayed across the mud. Rain beat down forming patterns on her closed eyes as thunder roared throughout the sky.

A tall dark figure appeared behind her. 'Azura?' he asked before rushing to her side, holding her limp body in his arms.

'Azura?' He repeated, shaking her gently, a rushed and hurried tone in his voice.

Rain clung to her hair, making it stick and suffocate her face. Softly he brushed it out the way, revealing a pale face.

'Hibari?' she said in a mouse like tone, her eyes still closed.

He breathed a sigh of relief. 'Idiot' he said in an effortless tone. The calmness of his own voice surprised even him. Never the less, a small smirk crept against his lips as his face now rested on her, quietly rocking the two.
