Hello! Here's another random thought about Hibapin! Yay! Thanks to those who reviewed the previous 'random thought', I'm really happy to know I made you, dear readers, happy as well! Hurray for Hibapin! And thank you to the anonymous reviewer, too. You guys made my day!

Hibari Kyoya and I-pin and Katekyo Hitman Reborn! is not mine and I don't own it in any manner.

The Girl Who Cried Wolf

What a normal day meant for I-pin is that she has to go to school and study, no assassin's way of life, no Mafia and just… no Hibari. And this day was one of those, when her day went on like a routine from daybreak 'til sunset and this is because Hibari was summoned to Italy and was out for a month.

She can't imagine not seeing him for month, that'd be like years for her! It's not that she's obsessed with him unlike when she was younger, but it felt different to not have somebody to look up to, or at least somebody to stare at.

She didn't know what goes in her beloved's head, if ever he thinks of her as somebody special, which, according to her, was quite impossible. Yet she always put into her mind what her master told her, "Nothing is impossible." Even if it was false hope, she didn't care because all she wanted was something to believe in, to get herself moving and motivated everyday. Or so she thought. And how she fantasized everyday to hold hands with him while he took her to school every morning; well, things don't go along with your fantasies and she knew that.

I-pin is a realistic and observant girl, and being as she is, she noticed how many boys have been attracted to her. Their number was not too many yet not the least, but the quantity didn't matter; only one did in fact snare her heart ever since she knew what love was. But that someone will never notice her, oh the ironies of life. Or so she thought.

Some of her friends get jealous for the reason that she had a fair amount of suitors, but they weren't aware of what kind of torture she had to endure everyday of her being. This is because some people have tendencies to stalk other people, and let's just say she's got some psychotic suitors trailing her behind.

One traumatic experience in connection to this was when she was cornered by her own stalkers. She was not afraid of getting hurt but she was afraid of hurting them. Remember that I-pin can kill with a simple yet powerful stretch of her arm because of her training as an assassin. This is where Hibari comes in.

He's not the type that would go save somebody and I-pin's not delusional to think that one day he might become her knight in shining armor. However, his name bears so much meaning to those who live in Namimori; his name is like a taboo, the name of the demon or anything that can be attributed to pure evil and mishaps. Nobody who's sane enough muttered his name in public for it only brought shuddering and extreme fright of getting bitten to death. Nevertheless, I-pin used it as a protective charm. How you ask?

A few months back, rumors did spread that I-pin was once an acquaintance of him, and a lot of young 'uns didn't want to get involved with her for quite a while. But things do fade into darkness, and some things are forgotten as time passed by, bringing change along with it. The formerly terrifying envoy of Hibari transformed into a more acceptable and ordinary young woman, who later attracted men to her side.

But some people do not forget, or they can never forget anything that has any connection to that unholy man. One utterance of his name from I-pin, the stalkers will quickly disappear, like how spilled water evaporates on a very hot day.

She never expects Hibari to actually come and help her though, for firstly, she doesn't need help anyway, and secondly, he's not the type of person who helps people in need!

I-pin once thought that she was like the boy who cried wolf because of this, but in her case it was the girl who cried the name of Satan. And this has been very useful to her, until one afternoon.

Her stalkers surrounded her and forced her to enter an unpopulated alley way. She tried to scare them by using her strategy, but it turned out that they had discovered that Hibari was out of town.

'Oh great, nice try.' was what I-pin thought alongside plans of escaping. She could just hit them and then run away and say that it was in defense. Yet there were four of them and only one of her in a quite narrow alley. She planned to use her strategy again and she knew what was at stake. She opened her lips and called his name, slowly backing away and into the dead end. Her voice grew smaller and smaller as she found herself helpless like a little girl.

"K-Kyoya…" and that was her last call. However, her stalkers didn't seem to be afraid of her chanting his name, and this left her no choice at all. "Break their bones and make them suffer" was the last item on her plans list but such an action was only reserved for Hibari's use, making her listen to her conscience.

"That demon will never come!" one of them mocked.

She closed her eyes, voiding her of the sight of her assailants, and nothing was left to do but believe. Loud sounds of bones cracking and groans travelled through the still air. She opened her eyes only to see the boys lying on the ground, clutching their bodies that were in pain. She looked up only to see a familiar shade and she heard a more familiar voice,

"What were you herbivores crowding here for?" he asked. It pained her that Hibari was sometimes so ignorant, even to the point of grouping her with those guys. Nonetheless, she still admired, no, loved that person with her pure heart.

"I didn't know that chanting your name actually worked." She said with watery eyes but was met by Hibari's indifference as he turned to walk out of the alley. She followed suit, careful not to step on the bodies that littered on the ground.

"Welcome back." She was grateful he came.

Nobody ever dared to stalk her again, as a new rumor sprouted out of nowhere: "Stalk I-pin if you dare to face death!" In fact no one has any idea who started the gossip; it came to them by word of mouth. As for I-pin, she's relieved that nobody will ever try that for a while and she would have to thank her savior for that matter. But it still kept her curious,

"Who started that gossip?" she wondered as she walked towards her next class. She was partly irritated sine she was associated with death; it made her a bit fearful for people might discover her dark secret. On the bright side though, it was security.

Oh, and she never got to know what Hibari thought about her. Some things just aren't meant to happen and sometimes there are some things that you aren't supposed to know… Or so she thought.

"Lucky little lamb," Hibari smirked as he sat on his swivel-chair in his office and Hibird's chirping provided him with a little music. He heard someone knock on the door.

"Chairman," one of his men entered his office and then continued his report, "It had spread like wildfire, sir." When he finished, Hibari dismissed him with silence, as he turned to his contemplations.

Every now and then, Hibari thought if he was only repaying her for those chocolates she gave him every Valentines Day, but he wouldn't like to think of it as something herbivore-like. Even so, he can't wait for that next V-Day.

Thanks for reading this random thought, and I hope you enjoyed it! I'm having fun doing this stuff because of your support. Again, I thank you and because of this, I think this fandom will last long… See you next time!
