Kryptonite - chapter sixteen^^
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*
I am so so so so so sorry for the very long wait. Lately I've had many exams therefore I have been doing a lot of revision for them. Luckly it paid off and now I can update as much as possible. So please enjoy this update and there will be one again soon!
She stood in parallel to the tall dark haired man, looking up into his cool cobalt eyes while standing on her toes in order to see them. The substantial height difference between the two made it harder to shout at him, let alone take her seriously.
'What the hell do you mean I can't fight?' she practically shouted in the prefects face. This had been going on for hours now. Just him saying that she isn't allowed to train, her retaliating, then his response, or lack of it, infuriating the young girl further.
Pivoting on one foot, he turned around and walked to the door.
That was something she really didn't need to see right now.
'Where the hell are you going!?' Azura shouted behind him.
'Out.' He replied, not even bothering to turn around. 'I've got work to attend to.'
Staring at the now empty archway, she sat down on the bed with a huff. Swinging her legs off the side and kicking them against the wooden supports of the large bed.
Minutes passed and a knock came from the door, behind it emerged a certain chestnut haired, coffee-eyed boy. Looking up with miserable violet eyes, she nodded to him, indicating to come in.
'Ne Azura, smile a little,' he grinned capturing the juvenile eyes. After gaining a rather unenthusiastic smile, he sat on the bed next to her.
'H-hey Yamamoto, you know a lot about this place right? Who stays in the room down the hall?' Azura asked, keeping a quite voice.
'Well, as far as I know, you and Hibari are the only ones who share this part of the building.' He replied, now stepping off the bed and walking across the large room.
'One last question, where does he go every day? Around this time, he'll usually bugger off somewhere, leaving me behind.' She asked looking up towards the boy. It only just occurred to her how short she really was compared to everyone.
'Around now? Probably patrolling Namimori picking fights with random people who defy him.' His hand slowly reached towards the door. 'And around now is when we all train.'
She stared at him with a black expression. Did she really just hear that? 'This whole time, you guys have been training?' Jumping off the bed, Azura opened the door completely. 'Right, today I'm coming too.'
Following out the door, he led her down the maze of halls before entering a surprisingly large room, with a ceiling as high as the eye can see, the neutral walls accommodating three other figures. 'Hey!' She called out, running over to them.
'H-hey' Tsuna smiled nervously, she really didn't know what she was in for. Gokudera stood there, that usual grumpy look plastered on his face.
'Your late.' Lal interjected, staring Azura straight in the eye. She really didn't look happy to see her. 'Tsuna, Gokudera, your training as usual. You know what to be doing already. Yamamoto, Reborn's downstairs waiting. Azura… Today your with me.'
Looking at the others with wide eyes, Azura was dragged off to one of the far corners of the room.
Stopping and looking at Azura again, she placed her round goggles that hung around her neck, to her eyes. 'You've still got your staff right?' She asked, signalling to Azura's leg.
'Y-yeah.' She replied detaching it from her leg and making it expand with one swift movement. After a moment in silence, she looked around to see where the others where. Of course she could still see Tsuna, but where had-
Pain struck her at the side. A force so strong and powerful, it send her catapulting into the wall, hitting it with a hard crunch, her staff landing with a cluck on the floor. 'Don't take your eyes off the enemy! Right now, your fighting me!' Lal walked over to her, picking the petite body off the floor by the collar. 'Fight back.' She whispered before throwing a roundhouse that might have broken her jaw, had it connected but Azura got her arm up in time. That accounted for the second to worse of her bruises the one now forming on her back, which would be an unlovely yellow colour later.
She twisted to her side, once Lal had released he. Azura now knew that Lal was already her next move. She had to get out before she was really hurt. Grabbing her cold staff off the stone ridden floor, and used it to hoist herself up. Looking at the powerful woman in front of her, lavender eyes pleaded to stop. Her breathing was erratic now. Freshly bruised ribs hummed with pain; for every breath she took, Azura practically wished it would be her last.
She was willing to run now, but wasn't proud of it. 'Stop thinking about the pain and fight.' Lal spoke, kicking the staff from underneath her, making Azura land with a soft thud on he floor. Groaning from the unimaginable pain, Lal's words rang in her mind. All common sense left her as she rolled sideways, avoiding a powerful kick to the stomach. Swinging her staff upwards, she felt it connect with something. Violet eyes opened as a shadow covered Lal's face, a scarlet liquid running down her jaw-line. They stayed in silence for a moment before Lal tossed something at the young girl with her mouth slightly ajar. The shiny metallic object was the ring she had found at school.
'Trainings over for today go back to your room.' Lal bluntly spoke.
Without a second thought, Azura got to her feet and ran to the exit, her body still writhing with pain.
Hours later, Azura laid in bed. The moonlight from the window shone down on her emotionless face. The darkness and silence of the room comforted the severe pain, which she was still in.
Hearing the door click open, she knew who was there, but didn't bother looking up.
'6 o'clock, dinners ready.' He spoke in a sharp voice. The lack of response from the tiny bundle on the bed made his eyes narrow. 'Don't make me repeat-'
'I'm not hungry.' She whispered, the pain slowly increasing with every word.
Hibari walked over to her. He was not best pleased, upon seeing the teenager's face, his hands screwed into tightened fists. The bruise crept along the nape of her neck, ugly colours staining her porcelain skin. Grabbing her arm, he hoisted her upright, making Azura hiss in pain. His hands made their way up to her back, slowly lifting the white tank top up.
'W-what the hell are you doing?' She asked surprised. Although she didn't want to admit it, the feeling of his large hands on her bruised skin was so soothing.
'Who did this?' His voice was so quiet, yet it sounded so loud and blunt in her ears. He was answered with nothing but silence. Hands trailed down her back, pushing slightly to afflict some kind of response. Hissing again from the pain, Hibari took his hand away. 'Stop messing around.' There it was again, that blunt voice again.
'I'm messing around?' Azura said breathlessly, 'what about you? Running off into danger, always leaving me behind. You do nothing but fight. You've got to stop.'
'No.' He replied, still looking at the bruised girl before him.
'I'm not always going to be there when you come back. One day, I'm going to be on the frontline with you.' Her head dropped slowly as Azura pulled her top down.
'I need to keep fighting.' He said, standing up. 'I have a reason to.' He looked straight at Azura, his emotionless eyes baring deep holes within her.
'And even if you do, what kind of life is this? We're all human pin cushions here.' Maybe she went too far, but now, she couldn't stop the verbal diarrhoea. 'If I were still alive I would be so pissed at you right now. Correction, I am. Lying to yourself like this, to me. Your not honouring my memory, your avoiding it.'
He stared at her for a moment before tuning to the door. 'Dinners ready.' He spoke, before walking through it.
Now she really did feel like crap.
