"...finally." Hibari managed to cook some decent gruel after a few tries. Then, he walked into his room and noticed that Kiku kicked away the blankets. ...and to think only little kids would do that... actually, she IS a little kid right now... and I should get something for her to wear... He got one of his school shirts from the closet and sat down onto the futon. "Hmmm...? Kyoya...?" Hibari stared at Kiku. Oh... she's only sleep-talking... A tear slid down her cheek as she slept. "Kyoya... where are you...? where are you... I'm scared... it's lonely here... what if I won't be able to see you again...?" Hibari brushed the tear away gently and whispered into her ear. "Hush now... it's okay... I'm here now... so it's okay..." Kiku seemed to relax after he said that and went back to sleeping peacefully. After a few moments to make sure she really is in deep sleep, Hibari slowly picked her up and put the shirt on her. As he was buttoning her shirt, his attention averted to her neck. He stared at it for a few moments and started to feel this small impulse grow in him. He leaned down closer to her neck and brushed his lips lightly against her skin. Then, the iris of his eyes started to turn red and a fang protruded from his mouth. "...Kyoya...?" The impulse faded away as he heard her voice.
"...what are you doing...?" Suddenly, Hibari sat up and covered his mouth. He felt his cheeks turn red as he realized what he was doing. Kiku, who was unaware of what he was doing, sat up and stared at him drowsily. She yawned and rubbed her eyes. "If you wanted a hug, then I can always give you one..." She got up sleepily and hugged onto Hibari. The hug was longer than expected... "Ku...?" No response. "Ku!?" Hibari pried her off of him and found out that she passed out. He placed his hand on her head and sighed. "...a fever, huh?" He placed her onto the futon and pulled the blankets up to her chin. Then, he got up and went to the living room to continue reading an Agatha Christie book.
-a couple of hours later-
Kiku burst into the living room and jumped up and down in excitement. "Kyoya, look look! I got dressed by myself!" Kiku was wearing his shirt, jacket, and boxers (the pants kept falling off, so she took the "shorts" and wore them instead). All of them were worn... incorrectly. Hibari sighed and gave a small smile. Such a troublesome child... He got up and fixed the clothes for her while she fidgeted in excitement. "You seem to have a lot of energy for someone who has a fever..." "What do you mea-" Kiku collapsed on top of Hibari from sudden dizziness. "Oh... I see what you mean..." "Mhmm..." "...I'm hungry..." "Then eat the gruel I made." Kiku buried her head into the crook of his neck and mumbled. "But I don't wanna eat gruel..." "Then what do you want to eat?"
Kiku gave a mischievous smile. "You know what..." "...alright." Kiku licked his neck as her fangs showed. "Itadakimasu!" She bit onto him as gently as possible and began to suck on his blood. Hibari winced slightly and listened to her drink his blood. As Kiku consumed his blood, it seems as if her body changed a little. Her hair lengthened, she grew a little taller, and her body became slightly more developed. Hibari noticed these changes and pulled away in surprise.
"Hee~ some of my magic returned already! Your blood really is strong, Kyoya!" As she said this, something hit him. Hibari eyed her suspiciously. "You're not using me, are you?" Kiku's eyes began to fill with hurt. "Of course I'm not... I didn't mean it that way..." When she was about to start crying, Hibari placed a hand on her head and sighed. "It's alright, it's alright..."
Hibari pulled her into a hug and hushed her. "Let's just go to sleep now, okay? It's getting late." Kiku's cheeks turned pink. "R-right here... like this...?" Hibari chuckled. "If you want..." "Okay, oyasumi~!" "Oyasumi, Ku..." Kiku buried her face into his shirt and fell asleep at ease.
