Kryptonite - chapter 11 ^^
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*
Only hours after falling asleep, Azura awoke only to find a baby staring at her, his marble eyes meeting violet orbs. Being startled like this wasn't the wakeup call she had in mind so her only reaction was to scream and get away. Sadly that didn't go according to plan as sadly the bed ended 2ft from where she originally had been, landing with a soft thud on the floor.
Reborn eyed her over the edge, shaking his head disapprovingly and sighing 'Looks like your reactions haven't improved.'
If only looks could kill. She slowly slid back into bed curling up into the warmth of the night before.
He sighed again. 'Get up' he said, walking over to her giving a small kick in the face, 'Get dressed, we're going to Kokuyo… Oh and be prepared.'
After getting changed and heading out the door, she met everyone, well excluding Hibari. Questions rolled over and over in her mind about him, why hadn't he called and where was he now, above all, why couldn't she stop thinking about him? Unknown to her she would find out soon enough.
After reaching the gates, everyone decided to break and discuss a plan. Azura being the least experienced would go on ahead and look for Hibari.
Hours passed after leaving the group, she found herself well and truly lost. 'Shit' she muttered under her breath, climbing through the surrounding reeds and covered her way.
Then it hit her… literally. A sharp pain surrounded her throat, stumbling against a nearby tree, her petite fingers wrapped around something that had become imbedded in her neck. The metal dart sent a chill down her arm as she pulled it out, earning a blood curdling groan from the girl. Blood trickled down ivory skin, staining it a sweet scarlet.
Her vision fell into a hazy blur, clinging onto a tree trunk for dear life was of no prevail as she started falling on to the ground, being welcomed by slumbers darkness.
Violet eyes fluttered open. Her vision was still blurry however she could see cobalt orbs staring down on her. She reached towards the ashen skin that was before, smiling for the first time in what felt like weeks as she felt herself encased in the arms of someone familiar.
'Hibari' she breathed, the smirk on her lips never failing to falter as her icy fingers made contact with the warm skin.
'So you're finally awake?' he replied. Why was his tone so serious even though this was the first time they had seen each other in days.
His face crept closer to hers, looking straight into her eyes, their faces inching closer and closer towards each other. A pink aura surrounded Azura's cheeks; all doubts in her mind of him not missing her had been erased.
Suddenly he lost momentum. His face which was creeping closer stopped and all that remained was a deadly look in his eyes. 'Get off me,' and with a quick shove she was on the floor landing with a dull thump.
'What the hell was that for?' she shouted at him, 'after all this time I find you sitting around here? Why didn't you call?'
He stared at her as if she was an idiot, and she was for the best part of it.
'Baka' he spat sitting back down on the floor.
Moments of awkward silence passed until it finally occurred to her how bruised he was. She didn't want to make it look like she cared; he obviously didn't care about her. 'Erm, you've you blood on you.' She mumbled, turning her head away.
There it was again, that 'You're an idiot' death glare, but he did something neither she, nor anyone would expect of him.
'No shit' he replied turning to get a better look at her. She did too, bruises created distorting patterns up her legs. He grabbed her shoulder forcefully, making her look at him. 'You, you where hurt.' He spat angrily. He did care!
Looking down, Azura realized the state she was in. 'Oh this?' she pointed to the scarlet stained shirt and bruises. 'This was from when I was lost in the woods after trying to save you. I got shot by a dart or something and well… here I am now' she smiled happily at him.
His face remained expressionless apart from the 'You're an idiot' look remained on his face and the eyebrow that had a life of its own and began to twitch. How could she remain so upbeat in a situation-
Everything was silenced by an explosion through the wall in front of them, as Gokudera came bursting though the rubble and smoke.
Soon after realizing the situation, he whispered something to Hibari, giving him a quick nod and helped him to his feet, followed by Azura using the wall so pull herself up.
She tried to follow after but she was abruptly stopped by Hibari and a metal tonfa being held close to her stomach. 'You're staying here.' He said in a cold tone.
'What? Why?' she asked moving forward slightly, pressing a hand against the metal rod blocking her way.
'You're not getting hurt again. I won't allow it.' He mumbled quietly, walking, or rather being carried out of the room.
Azura stood there in silence, her eyes growing large from that statement…
Ohhh yeah, he defiantly cared.
