Chapter 17
Kyouya hadn't slept the whole night and now it was already afternoon. He was much paler than normal and there were dark shadows beneath his eyes. He also had refused to eat anything. His whole life had just shattered into pieces by the doing of a single man. He was sure that Mukuro hadn't been able to come back after the equipment and the machines had been turned off.
It was simply impossible. He was laying on his bed, starring to the ceiling above while his thoughts went crazy. He never had had feelings like this. He felt sorrow, regret and solitude. He hadn't even shed a tear, but he didn't feel like crying he rather felt like dying. And yet he was the last one who would have committed suicide. Something like this was just plainly stupid, but still life didn't matter for him anymore.
His father would be free to do anything he wanted to do to him, he didn't care. And he thought that everything he had experienced by now had just been a dream. Now he had to wake up to reality and reality seemed to be ugly. Probably everything had just been an illusion that wouldn't be a surprise after all. Illusions were normally used to shatter someone's mind and Kyouya found his crumbled into pieces.
The boy closed his eyes trying to finally go to sleep to get some salvation when he suddenly heard something knocking on his window. It was a soft noise, but he could still hear it. Slowly he got up and went over to the window, noticing that his dearest fellow, the small yellow bird, was sitting outside pecking the window with his beak.
"Hibari!" It chirped in total happiness, jumping up and down. The boy opened the window and the little bird flew inside. It landed on Kyouya's bed still jumping up and down.
"Hibari. Hibari." Kyouya couldn't resist, but giving the bird a small smile.
"You came here to see me?" He asked and gently stroked the yellow bird with one finger.
"Idiot!" Hibird suddenly chanted cheerfully sitting on Kyouya's finger.
"Kufufu!" The raven's face froze.
"Wait, since when are you making that noise?" "Kufufu!" Hibird repeated, happy to show his master what he was capable of doing.
"Stop this!" The boy shouted at the poor little bird that flapped its wings in fear, starting to fly circles inside of the room.
"Kufufu!" It said once more, driving Kyouya seriously crazy.
"He is dead! Stop making this noise or I'll throw you out the window! I never want to hear this again!" The Skylark hesitated actually being surprisingly scared by his own reaction. "Hibird, I'm sorry." He apologized to the little yellow bird that now landed on his desk.
"Kufufu. Idiot." It cheerfully sang, flapping its wings. Kyouya watched it silently, when suddenly a loud bang could be heard from within the house. Kyouya winced in surprise and turned towards the door.
"Kufufu." Hibird said again and slowly Kyouya started to realize.
"Hibird…are you trying to tell me…" "Idiot. Kufufu!" The boy quickly took the little bird into the palm of his hand and rushed out of the room while Hibird kept repeating the remarkable laugh of the blue haired illusionist.
Kyouya went down the floor to the huge hallway of the house from where he suspected the loud bang had come from. He hadn't even arrived there when he suddenly had to stop. His legs started to tremble and gave in. He fell on his knees while his heartbeat just missed to go on for a second.
There he stood in the doorway, wearing these awfully narrow white pants, this annoying camouflage colored T-Shirt and this unfortunately sexy army styled leather jacket. The mismatched eyes examined the boy on the floor in front of him whereas the lips gave him an actually sweet smile.
"Mukuro." The raven said with a shaky voice while some tears dropped from his grey eyes.
"Kyouya, I'm back as promised."
