Kryptonite - chapter twelve ^^

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*

Their alarm tones rang their annoying tunes once again, abruptly awaking the sleeping girl beneath the mountain of covers. 'Mghh…' She moaned as she sat upright on the mattress. 'Mum?' spoken through mumbled lips as she walked out the room.

After taking several steps she hit something, a wall? But it seemed so warm, so nostalgic. 'Mum?' she smirked as she looked up, reaching to see the face in front of her.

Something rang in her head, screaming at her to get away, and fast. Blurred vision became clear, at first, from what was hazy; Azura found herself staring straight into cobalt orbs, her own violet ones staring back widened as she saw he looked pissed.

A cold feeling arose from her stomach. Chilling sensations took hold of her neck as she felt an iron bar held up to her throat, making it harder and harder for it to breathe.

'Who're you calling "Mum?"' he shoved the cold metal further into ivory skin.

Biting her lip in realization she whispered 'I-I'm sorry' avoiding his razor sharp eyes now, diverting them to the floor. At this he realised his grasp and walked past her into the kitchen, acting as if nothing had happened.

Staring at him for a moment, she was so hypnotised at how surreal he could be. It fascinated her that he could make such an impact on a person and not even realize the implications.

Her eyes where drawn to the clock on the wall, that was when she truly realized how late she truly was. 'Shit' she uttered rushing out of each room and getting ready.

'Hibari!' she shouted, pulling up one sock, with a toothbrush stuck in her mouth, foam starting to drip down the side of her chin, 'Why didn't you wake me up?'

He looked up at her, his deadpanned face excluding all emotion as he sighed and took a sip of tea, 'That's your job, not mine.'

Staring back at him in disbelief and wiping the frothy liquid from her face, she grabbed her bag and ran out the door, to the school gates.

To no surprise Yoji was there like always, however something was different. He wasn't wearing his usual goofy looking grin.

'What's wrong with you?' She asked, slowing down from a slight jog and looking at him more clearly. Concern covered her face as he just turned away from her, giving the 'Bug eye' as he did so.

After moments in silence, Azura got annoyed. Pulling on his shoulder and turning him around, she stared at him blankly. 'What have I done?'

'You!' he wailed, gaining the attention of nearby students walking past, 'You and that guy. Why didn't you tell me?'

She raised a questioning eyebrow as a smirk played upon her lips, letting out a little chuckle. 'Seriously?' now she couldn't stop the laughing that followed, 'Me and Hibari? God no, he's just giving me a place to stay for a little while.'

He looked up at her and grinned a little, 'Really?'

She nodded enthusiastically.

'I-I guess that's okay' he mumbled feeling a little stupid.

The two of them walked through the doors of the building but Azura couldn't help but feel the throbbing feeling in her chest. Its loud thuds sounded like a hammer beating on a wet cloth, making everything sound like desolate throbbing.

Hours passed quickly as though they where minutes. As lunch came sooner than expected, she stood up and started walking to the stairs to the roof.

After taking several steps up the stairs, the beating sensation returned, but now, it hurt. Stopping mid-step, she clutched her head as the hall around her started in an endless whirling.

Fingers clung to the banister, her feet begging for some kind of balance however her brain refused to respond. The viper hold on the bar weakened and she went tumbling back into what seemed like a pit of darkness.

Lavender eyes scanned the world around her as Azura found herself once again in the field of white flowers, the light radiating from them over powered all other senses.

Blinking to regain some sight, she saw the pineapple man standing in front of her. 'Mukuro?' she whispered reaching towards his Cheshire cat grin.

Then, as if like turning to sand, the surroundings disintegrated into dust, being swept along by a numbing wind, including the man himself. 'Mukuro' she repeated, before staring into the darkness that now intoxicated her.

'Mukuro' she groaned semi conscious. Her purple spheres flew open, feeling the cold metal on her neck again.

Hibari had pinned her down, one hand guarding her neck, the other fixing her arms above her head, well away from the pole strapped to her thigh.

'What did you just say?' he shot a stare at her which screamed murderous intent.

'H-Hibari, your hurting me' she stuttered, his face hovering inches above hers.

'What did you just say?' he repeated, only louder afflicting more of a response from the petite girl below him. He dug the cold steel deeper into her neck.

'Stop, p-please, I'm sorry Hibari, I'm sorry, Your hurting me' she uttered, voice trembling as tears threatened her eyes. 'Hibari, your hurting me, get off!' she screamed as tears fell relentlessly down her cheeks.

He snapped back into reality, releasing the young girl that resided underneath him.

She took this chance to run, he tried grabbing her wrist as a failed attempt to pull her back but it was pulled away, sprinting downstairs from the nurse's office into the dead of night.

Truthfully, that was the first time her skylark had hurt her. At that moment, her once warm heart had shattered.

A/N: Alright I know I didn't do any of those last few chapters justice, so I'm moving full steam ahead to the 'Time Travel Arc' as people call it, 1.) because it'll be easier to read, 2.) because it'll be easier to write and 3.) I won't butcher Hibari as much. Although some people need to know that this IS a romance story so he will be a little OCC sometimes.

Anyways, now too many thank you's this week, mainly to my two favourite people here, Aya~Chan and Sayonara Yasashii Akumu. You two are THE best ^^ I cannot tell you how thankful I am for all of your support and how much it means to me that you have stuck though the story to here!='D

And thank you for the criticism the anonymous 'Hi' person, whomever you may be, it really did give me a kick up the ass to realize that he really isn't that romantic, so hopefully that will help a lot too in the future ^^
