CHAPTER 2
'I'm here'
"Geez guys… do you really have to make a ruckus on the hospital?" The handsome onii-san Dino ask in disbelief staring at the boys who is sitting on the bench outside Chieko's room
Unfortunately they got kick out, not only by Hibari but also by a grumpy nurse and her companion
There are Yamamoto (who has a big red bruise on his cheeks…. because of Hibari's tonfa)
…Tsuna (Sighing, with a black eye… yes also Hibari)
…Gokudera (who has a bump on his head and bruise on his other cheeks opposite to Yamamoto… yes yes him again)
And Ryohei (has a tonfa mark also on his face between his eyes… man, Hibari is a scary guy)
The guys just stayed silent giving their own unique reaction
"Hahaha Gomen" Yamamoto laugh carefreely
"Stupid Hibari…I'm going to get that bastard next time…How dare he… I won't forgive him on hitting jyuudaime like that" Gokudera scowl
"I'm so glad Dino-san was able to stop Hibari-san's wrath...or he'll definitely bite us to death" Tsuna murmur with anime tears
"Hmm~ I should try asking Hibari to join the boxing team too" Ryohei murmur thinking with a passionate look
Dino sweat drop seeing the teens are not listening to him
"H-hey are you guys listening-" Dino was cut
"You guys should know better than to bust in like that…I told you Chieko is awake but I didn't told you to make a rampage there" Reborn also added on the scolding appearing out of nowhere landing on Dino's shoulder
Dino slightly flinch on Reborn's appearance
"REBORN" Tsuna exclaim as he stood up and walk to Reborn
"How's Chieko?" he ask worriedly as the others paid attention
"She's fine now, she immediately fell asleep after you guys left…." Reborn inform
"Oh~ thank goodness"
"or.. was it, Hibari force her to sleep" Reborn added making them freak out
"HIIIIII NO WAY" Tsuna freak out
"THAT TEME!" Gokudera roar as he about to charge to CHieko's room again but Reborn stop him
"Gokudera stop, you don't have to worry about Chieko.." Gokudera pause on this
"…He's with Hibari after all"
"THAT'S WHAT I'M WORRY ABOUT" Tsuna and Gokudera both chorus with animated reaction
"Don't be.. Hibari could be a cold blooded and fighting maniac guy… but deep inside his a softy anyways" Reborn reason out
Making the guys imagine weird things like:
'Oh hello little birdie?' Hibari smilling helping a bird and hugging it ' you are so cute' he giggle femininely
They all shudder on that thought
'THAT'S SOOO WRONG' Tsuna, Gokudera and Ryouhei shouted on their minds
"Hahaha… You're right, kid" Yamamoto said with a laugh
Making them all look at him with a sweat drop
"And Besides…" Reborn spoke again snapping their thoughts Reborn smirk proudly
"There's no way Hibari can hurt someone who he has a big favor with… right Gokudera?" Reborn ask as he glance on Gokudera
Gokudera who's puzzled a bit on that, remembered how on Kokuyo Land, Hibari help him to go to where Tsuna is, in return of helping him get out of the room and punching him the antidote to cure his Sakura disease from Shamal
"I guess" Gokudera admit making Tsuna puzzled but calm down
"Maa maa lets just leave this to Hibari, guys and lets go" Yamamoto said with a cheerful smile holding both Tsuna and Gokudera's shoulder
Gokudera glare at him as shove his hand away
"You are awfully calm about this baseball nut, what happen to your space out sulking mode?" Gokudera ask with a scowl
Yamamoto just laugh at this
"Lets just say that…I'm very relief that Chieko is now alive... and…" Yamamoto slightly gave a sad smile with hidden meaning
"I kind of understand what Hibari's feeling right now" Yamamoto added that with a low tone but it was loud enough for all of them to hear (a face Chieko's death and her back stab BY HIS katana flash on his mind while they thought about Hibari's shock face when he was protected by Chieko)
They all balled their fist remembering that, they all own Chieko a favor not only Hibari…
There's a silence
"oh~ and… we kind of skip school right now I'm sure Hibari will double kill us if we stay here and look after Chieko hahaha" Yamamoto added while laughing
BAM – the guys fall down anime style on that
"Y-yamamoto" Tsuna sweat drop
Gokudera vein pop on this
"W-why you baseball nut-"
"Well said Yamamoto" Reborn complimented making Gokudera calm down
"it is the best for you guys to go home right now, Chieko is still resting and I don't think she'll have an energy to accompany a couple of rampaging guys" Reborn explain
'RAMPAGING GUYS?' Tsuna react on his thought
"and… I don't think you guys will be able to walk in Chieko's room …alive~" Reborn added with a smirk as Dino step back glancing as well at Chieko's room
"ACK" Gokudera left eyes twitch as Tsuna stare at this jaw drop in disbelief while Yamamoto and Ryohei were awed
"Wow~" Yamamoto praise as they saw a lot of disciplinary committee members falling in line guarding Chieko's room, scaring out every person passing by
"Extreme" Ryohei react as Tsuna sweat drop
"Scary" Tsuna murmur shivering on the disciplinary glare
"Hahaha Hibari is going all out on taking care of Chieko… hahaha we better prepare to pay back the favor to Chieko too" Yamamoto said smiling at Tsuna
Tsuna who already snap out on this nodded
"Well then kid, we'll head out now… we'll visit later after school" Yamamoto said
"No" Reborn bluntly said making the guys pause
"Visit tomorrow… there's something I needed to discuss with Chieko" Reborn said giving them a odd pause
The guys who were puzzled at this just shrug it off
"Okay then… we're heading back Reborn, Dino-san" Tsuna said bidding farewell nodding at Dino
Dino also wave goodbye as they all head off back to school
Dino sigh at this
"Teenager" He slightly slump his shoulder in exhaustion
Mean while with Chieko and Hibari:
Chieko blink as she sweat drop when Hibari kick out every one, AS IN everyone out with his tonfa (yes even the nurse who is helping on the ruckus)
And called the disciplinary council member to guard the door
"uhh" Chieko look at Hibari who is now sitting on the comfy sofa, his eyes were close and he is neatly sitting on the sofa with his arms cross
"Is that… even necessary?" Chieko ask still with an anime sweat drop on Hibari's action as Hibari slowly open his eyes and look on to Chieko
"They are annoying me" Chieko sweat drop more on that answer as she just drop that subject off
Watching Hibari stood up and walk to her bed
"Shouldn't you worried about yourself more than those people… rest" he ordered as he grab the blanket and drop it off CHieko's head… hiding her whole face
Chieko blink herself under the covers and pull it down
"I'm fine now Hibari and I got enough rest a well" Chieko explain giving a small smile
"Are you disobeying me" Chieko gave a nervous smile pulling two hands up as surrender on Hibari's glare
"No no, its just that its weird that I have to sleep again after a whole month of coma"
Hibari raise his eyebrows up
"you got comatose after operation?"He ask while Chieko nodded as reply
"Yeah, I didn't actually notice but Dino-san said that I didn't wake up for a whole month" CHieko explain as Hibari surprisingly sat on the edge of the bed and grab Chieko's hand
Chieko blink at that watching Hibari inspecting her arm then her other arm, then her face and legs
Chieko cock her head on the side
"Uhh~, what are you doing?" Chieko ask puzzled
But then
THUMB
"O-OWWW~" Chieko whine as she hold on to her soaring head who got hit by the metal tonfa
"w-what was that for?" Chieko whine with a little bit of tears on the end of her eyes
"I just want to make one thing clear, I didn't told you to do that" Hibari straight forwardly said
Chieko blink still holding her head in irritation
"Do what?" she ask
"I could have take care of myself on that katana" Chieko eyes slightly widen on the realization as she slowly pull her hand down on her head
"oh~, that" she murmur as she look at Hibari's sharp eyes
"I know that…I just can't afford to see you guys get hurt…and I was the reason you got involve anyway so…I kind of deserve this" Chieko reason out with a guilty smile
Then
FLICK
"Ahh~ ITAI" Chieko whine holding on to her red forehead who's been flick by Hibari's finger.. hard
Chieko bravely growl at Hibari
"Am I NOT a sick person here" she whine as Hibari just ignore her
"Stop being so plain weak" Hibari said coldly making Chieko gritted her teeth in frustration
'C-cocky anime guys' Chieko whine on her head
"For now on you'll be my full responsibility" Hibari simply said on full authority making Chieko confuse
"Full Responsibility?"
"Meaning, I don't tolerate you to do stupid things like that again" Hibari glare making Chieko coward on her bed
Being a smart girl CHieko is, she just immediately nodded, she knows better to argue with an annoyed skylark
"G-got it" she shutter as she thought
'Is that really a big deal?... oh wait, this is Hibari were talking about, according on internet he totally hates owning anyone a favor… he felt humiliated being save by anyone… then that means, he feel irritated being save by me?..oh great~' Chieko slightly went pale on that thought
"And also…I'm not allowing you to get yourself stupidly hurt by simple things and dying so easily" Hibari added, Chieko slightly sweat drop on Hibari's emphasis on dying word as she just let him be
"Roger that" She silently reply
She actually doesn't know if Hibari's is worried about her or just plain annoyed that he owns a favor on a weak girl like her
"Then Rest" Hibari harden his glare of annoyance
Chieko went pale slightly wincing in fear
'Its better to sleep than deal with this guy' She thought
"Hai"
Chieko nodded immediately grabbing the blanket and hid under the covers from Hibari's wrath
There's a silence as Chieko felt the bed slightly move, she peak on the blanket seeing Hibari went back to the sofa to read a book with his legs cross
Chieko watch Hibari but she then wince when she saw Hibari's grayish pupil averted to her direction
She slightly jump on that and pull up the cover to hide inside again
"U-Uh. H-Hibari" Chieko shutter a bit still under the cover
Hibari who's eyes on his books listen
"Thank you" Hibari ignore that weak gesture
As Chieko slowly close her eyes under the covers to sleep
'Midori~ ' Hibird swiftly fly inside singing the Nami-chu anthem
Landing on Hibari's shoulder in silence
The bird cock its head to Chieko who's sleeping under the covers
Hibari glance his shoulder on the bird… then to Chieko's
Sleeping figure
-#-
After being force to sleep again, that night
I found myself waking up on about six o clock in the evening
"Wow… I fell asleep longer than I thought" I murmur as I stare at the clock on the wall then I glance on the sofa suspecting Hibari to be there but found Reborn
I can't help but to feel relief a little because I wouldn't be greeted by a scary glare
I smile on Reborn who just sip on his espresso
And smile at me back with his child like face
"Ciaossu, Chieko"
"Hi Reborn" I smile as the Arcobaleno who jump down swiftly down on the sofa and stand on the bed beside me. I look down on him
"I must say I'm really glad to see alive than 12 feet under" he said with a mature like words but child like voice
I nodded at him as agreement
"yeah~ me too…I thought, I was going to die in there for sure" I saw Reborn's two small eye brow collide a bit
"what happen there anyway?" he ask
"I honestly don't know Reborn" I look down in confusion as I clutch my fist trying to remember the burry image
"I can't seem to see it clearly… but one thing I'm sure of, I am sure…I destroy the machine and…" I can feel my face harden on the memory
Flash (BAMMM! A image of a gun, pointed out on my heart rang to my head, the sound the pain were all real)
"killed myself" I slowly finish staring at Reborn's big round eyes
Reborn nodded at this in understanding
"But… what I cannot understand Reborn is…I first died here right?" I ask to Reborn
"Yes… your heart stop on the blood lost"
"Then…why am I alive just like Marishka said, if I died here then I'll go back to my world, after dying on my world the machine will permanently destroyed, killing myself with it… then why?"
Reborn amusingly look at the girl
"It sounds to me, you are not happy to be alive again?" he ask amusingly smiling at me
I blink at that question, realizing my words
Then I smile
"Ahaha no, I am perfectly happy I'm alive…. So happy that I-" I can feel my eyes slowly went blurry and wet…realizing tears are threatening to fall I immediately brush those tears away but it was no valid, it won't stop
"I-I want (hiccup) c-cry haha (sniff)" I laugh and cry on the same time trying to brush away those tears furiously
Reborn can't help but to soften his stare on the girl
'Still trying to be strong huh' he thought as he remember everything the girl did
'For an ordinary girl… she's really is something'
I smile on Reborn seeing tears still rolled, but I force myself to smile
"S-sorry I cried…it just that…I was so ready to face my death.. my Fate…" Reborn can't help but pause on the word Fate as he stare at the girl
"s-so I was so happy that I…Live"
Reborn close his eyes with a smile hiding his eyes on the fedora hat
"You are a lucky child Chieko, so... cherish your life for now on.. you wouldn't get another second life like this" I smile and nodded at this
"Yeah~.. this is a rare simplest wish after all" I murmur only loud enough for me to hear
My eyes then wonder to the room once again after that pause
But then I remember Hibari
"W-wait a minute Reborn… w-where's Hibari?" I ask glancing on Reborn now drinking his coffee sitting on the edge of the bed
"Oh~ he's on the school now… I told him that I needed a time to discuss with you, he'll be back later" I blink at Reborn in disbelief
"And you made him leave, how?" I ask
"You've watch us everyday.. .you know how bribe him" he said with a sly smirk
'If only he knew.. that in the episode its also a mystery… or a promise of battle' I thought
Anyway shrugging those thought off I ask
"So, what do you want to discuss with me Reborn" I ask fixing my sit on a comfortable manner
Reborn took at another sip on his coffee then he look up to me
" Nothing really… I was just curious of the other world, after seeing those images that 'scientist as crazy as Verde' shows…I can't help but to wonder..Tsuna and the others were also bother by it too but I told them to slide it off" listening to him I adopt those thoughts and look back to Reborn
"I see…well… its really hard to explain but… our world is almost the same as this … only its more realistic…and mysteriously… you guys are just watch and seen on tv, manga, products and everything… on our world you guys are animes" I confess rather carefully, not wanting to burst it all out, afraid to freak out Reborn
But surprisingly it he took it lightly
"I see… " he just reply then I look at him
"But I assure you Reborn, you guys are real and alive… so you don't need to get confuse of all this things at all" I said honestly what's on my mind
Seeing my honest face Reborn smile at me and nodded
"Don't worry I know, though…I also suggest that if the other people like Gokudera… ask you about this again… just tell them 'its better if you don't know" Reborn instructed as I nodded in understanding
"I'm not going to ask you further about this too" Reborn said with a trusting smile
Making me relief a bit
"but… I'm curious, if you have watch us there… then you would have known, what happen to our life? And lot of things on our past…. How much do you know?" he once again gave a wonderful/ hard question
"I know a lot of things Reborn, like the mafia thing you guys doing…Tsuna being the Vongola next 10th boss… and you having the having the Arcobaleno curse" I enumerate hesitantly as Reborn nodded
"I see… you know that much…how about the future?" he ask
On that question, I bite my lower lip
"Reborn… I don't think its a great idea…" I honestly said afraid to mix up everything
"Don't worry, I won't ask you to enumerate it, I know well enough about the effect in it… so rest assure Chieko" Reborn said maturely
Making me smile on his dependable as I nodded as yes
"Yes, I know what will happen… I know how will it happen… though… I don't know how much will it change…." I pause for a while giving a serious look on Reborn
"…now that I'm here"
To be continued…
so how was it?
Stay tune and review please
Note: I don't know if I'm starting a poll or what but since I'm still deciding on the pairings… any suggestion of people you want Chieko to be partner up with will be welcomed
