Kumo no Neko

(Cloud Cat)

My first try on a new anime. Katekyo Hitman Reborn. I've been just a recent fan and I can't help but write something for this couple, 1896/ Hibari x Chrome. It needs more fics! So I decided to contribute, though I'm not so sure how it will turn out. Please be nice! I tried my best to put them IC especially Kyoya! Gawd. He's harder than Sasuke! So yeah. This is a threeshot, originally a oneshot (blame random plotbunnies) and I'll be finishing it quickly so I could go back to Bitten. ;D

BTW this fic got inspired from Chocolate and caramel's Black Cat. Just tell me if you think I copied it from her work. :D I think hers is better though. :)

Ciao! Ciao!

Location: Namimori Middle School Hallway

Lambo! Give it back!

No! Lambo-san found it first!

The two hyperactive children ran around the empty school hallways, their noise reverberating on the walls as they chased each other. Little did they know, they were heading fast towards the devil of Namichuu who was currently patrolling the area for any students cutting class or just simply crowding around.

And as the Chairman of the Disciplinary Committee was about to turn, annoyed at the sound of herbivores disrupting the silence inside Namichuu or rather his turf, a huge red cylinder shaped gun was flying towards him in full speed. But everyone knew that Hibari Kyoya is faster than lightning so he swung his tonfa in ease, slapping away the incoming toy in his sight. A soft thud! echoed and a childish whine caught his ears. He looked down to see the baby cow rubbing his head, mumbling words as he restrained a cry.

"What the – Where – "

Before he could even finish his question, he was swallowed in darkness. It seemed the toy slipped out of Lambo's tiny hands when he was hit by Hibari, thus falling directly below the prefect who held his guard down. Puffs of smoke exploded when the Chinese baby arrived. I-pin immediately grabbed the object which looked identical to Lambo's Ten-Year Bazooka except for its color, to avoid any more troubles caused by the baby cow and stared at the pile of clothes lying on the exact place where Hibari once stood.

"Look Lambo!" She glared at the other baby who only stared at the pieces of clothes in amusement.

" Ah la la ~ What are we going to do?" He asked innocently, scratching his head which made I-pin angry.

"We should tell Tsuna-san!" She exclaimed.

At this, Lambo panicked, gasping especially when I-pin vanished before him.

She just disappeared which only meant one thing.

He was dead beef.

RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!

The bell rang and immediately, students began to flood around the halls for their break time. They could be seen walking in groups, heading towards either the school grounds or cafeteria and some just standing by in front of their classrooms, chattering. Footsteps and murmurs continued to fill the entire corridors and Hibari's clothes were still left lying innocently on the tiled floor. That is, until a group of Seniors passed by and circled around the pile of clothes.

"Oi oi, isn't this H-hibari-san's uniform?" One of them asked, pointing at the black gakuran with the tip of his sneaker. They leaned closer and nodded in agreement.

"But why on earth would Hibari leave his uniform in public?" The student knelt down and picked up the clothes, examining them and showed it to his friends. "He even left his armband. That's weird."

"Who knows? Maybe he stripped off and ran around the hallways, sick and tired of hunting down herbivores."

They all snickered at the comment, almost bursting in laughter.

"Or maybe, someone must have stolen his clothes to claim vengeance."

Silence.

"Holy shit! Then he is running around naked."

They didn't hold their laughter any longer, slapping the back of their companion who said the remark in affirmation. Hibari Kyoya, the Devil in flesh of Namichuu, stuck or maybe wandering around in who knows where with nothing on is priceless.

"He'll be screaming 'Kamikorosu' at the top of his lungs then."

Another round of laughs erupted from their throats.

Whoever did that to THE Hibari Kyoya should be deemed as the new Chairman.

He growled at every word pouring of their filthy mouths. How dare they mock him in his presence? Hearing their laughs really clear in his ears, each vibration of their voices increased his wrath to its fullest that being immobile in darkness mocked him too. So he moved to bite their asses to death. Not literally though.

"Hey look! Something's moving!"

The Seniors looked down and were surprised to see something twitch beneath the prefect's clothes. It continued to move around, as though it was lost and it amused them. They watched it intensely until it moved towards the edge of the white long sleeved shirt to reveal…

A small furry creature.

"Eh? N-neko?" They shouted in unison.

The moment he stepped out from the infinite darkness, he was confused to see everything so large. Steely gray eyes scanned every single thing that surrounded him, narrowing at every passing second especially when they landed at the students who were ridiculing him before. When the fuck did they grow so tall? They were staring at him intensely and it made him angrier. No one, as in no one has ever looked at him for more than ten seconds. And it pissed him off. So he glared and glared with all his anger and wrath combined but they didn't even flinch.

What the fuck?

"I've never seen this cat around." One of them finally spoke, reaching out a hand to pet the cat. Even if the onyx furred cat was ferociously glaring at him, quietly saying 'I'll bite your fingers off', he inched his hand closer, trying to tame it. "Come on now, we won't hurt you."

They were treating him like a child. Hibari Kyoya was treated like a freaking child. Not only was he pissed but also confused at the incoming hand that could smash his face due to its size. Or… he was the one who shrunk in size. No. This is an illusion. That Dokuro girl must have done it. She is Mukuro's vessel after all. Bastard can't fight him face-to-face that's why.

"Here now," The stranger continued to cooed, only inches away from the still glaring cat, its fur was already raised in warning.

Just as he was about to slap away the filthy-looking hand, he was surprised to see a paw, a black paw which is supposed to be his hand. Instead of long slender fingers were small sharp claws and pink toe pads. PINK TOE PADS were greeting his face. What kind of illusion did that pineapple jackass put him into? His shock was short-lived when he scratched the invading hand in rage, making sure he tore his skin apart.

"SHIT! He fucking scratched my hand!" He retreat the bloodied hand and glared at the seemingly satisfied cat. "You pussy!"

With a hiss, the cat turned away and dashed in the hallway with the Senior students tailing behind it.

Location: Reception Room

Kusakabe Tetsuya slid the door open hoping to find Hibari inside but instead silence greeted him. He poked his head in and called politely. "Kyo-san?" When he received no response he decided to check him on the rooftop. Those were only the two places he'd be found during break times to avoid crowding students. Reception room and the roof top.

"But Kyo-san should have finished patrolling the east wing and would usually settle here." He sighed and slid the door closed. He was told of two children playing in the area and one was carrying a dangerous toy that could only bring trouble and disruption of peace on the school. And it was his job to inform Kyoya, only to find him nowhere.

Heading towards the patrolling area of Hibari, Tetsuya noticed something lying on the floor a few meters from him. He jogged and examined the clothes, gasping when he confirmed the owner. "This is Kyo-san's!" Even the tonfas were laid carelessly, as if dropped suddenly. He quickly picked up the uniform and tonfas. He scanned if he left his ring too but didn't found the precious metal band. At this Tetsuya knew something is wrong. Hibari might have been attack and was aiming for the ring.

"This is bad. I must tell Sawada-san."

Location: Namimori Middle School, Section 2-A

RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!

"Haaa ~ Finally! Class is over." Sawada Tsunayoshi sighed, dropping his head on the desk. Nothing's more refreshing in hearing the school bell's cry. Home sweet home. Tsuna thought dreamily, a brief daydream of Kyoko hugging him as she welcomed him in their house. Ahh ~ What a promising future –

"Juudaime!" Gokudera boomed.

"Ah? Eh? G-gokudera-kun?" He snapped up, standing upright and stared in shock at Gokudera.

"Let's go Juudaime. Everyone's waiting for you outside." True to what he said, from the door, Yamamoto, and Kyoko waved at him. "Tsuna-kun!" Kyoko called, smiling at Tsuna who blushed and felt his insides melt. Kyoko-chan is so kawaii!

Gokudera accompanied him, slinging his bag over his shoulder and ignored the squeals of their female classmates. But the moment he stepped outside the room, he heard a familiar voice that popped a vein in his temple.

"Stupideraaaaa!"

"Tsuna-san!"

They all looked to the side and saw I-pin being chased by Lambo. But what surprised them was red bazooka I-pin was carrying. Trained by the strongest martial artist, the Chinese girl outran the baby cow and quickly jumped towards Tsuna who caught her. Lambo, in turn was caught by Gokudera, eyeing him in disgust as he thrashed from his hold.

"Let me go Stupidera!"

"What for Ahoshi?" He shook the poor kid and various candies, grenades and lollipops fell from his afro hair.

"Calm down, Gokudera. He's just a kid." Yamamoto intervened, patting the silver-haired bomber on the shoulder only to be glared at.

"What is it, I-pin? And what are you holding?" Tsuna asked, with Kyoko peering over his shoulder.

"Lambo stole bazooka from Irie-san!" I-pin replied, glancing at her friend who was currently tormented by Gokudera.

"EHHHHHH?"

"And Hibari-san got hit." She added, handing the dangerous toy at Tsuna who almost fainted the moment he heard the devil's name.

"Hi-hibari-san?" Tsuna squeaked.

"It wasn't Lambo-san's fault! He hit me first!" The cow defended, still being shook by Gokudera.

By now, Tsuna was staring up at the ceiling hoping it would crack open and the heavens would claim his soul right at this moment. What did he do now to receive such dreadful fate? What's worse he doesn't know what kind of screwed up result the bazooka offered them. He prayed that the ten years later Hibari won't pop out of nowhere and stay for more than five terrorizing minutes.

"Neh Tsuna-kun, why is there a paw imprinted?" Kyoko asked, pointing at the pink paw sticker pasted near the nozzle of the bazooka.

"Should we test it?" Yamamoto suggested too cheerfully. Tsuna cringed.

"Baka! This isn't an ordinary toy!" He glared at Lambo. "And you," Lambo gulped nervously. "What the fuck are you thinking? Putting Juudaime in trouble rather than protecting him. What kind of guardian are you?" Gokudera swore his free hand was inching towards his pocket of dynamites.

"Yamete Gokudera-kun! We should – "

"Sawada-san!"

Everyone looked at the incoming figure.

Shit.

"HIEEEEEEEEEE! It's T-tetsuya-san!" The brunette shrieked. Instantly, Yamamoto and Gokudera shielded him and prepared for any assault.

"We got you covered Juudaime!" Assured Gokudera, dropping Lambo who quickly latched himself on Tsuna's leg.

But when Tetsuya reached them, they were surprised to see a familiar uniform and weapon.

"What do you want?" Gokudera asked, dynamites sticking out from his fingers.

"I found these on the hallway. Someone must have attacked Kyo-san." He replied, lifting up the said objects. "And I can't find him anywhere on the campus."

"Didn't Hibari get hit with that bazooka?" Yamamoto inquired, everyone now staring at the innocent red cylinder gun.

"Oi Lambo!" Tsuna shook his leg where the Bovino Mafioso attached himself. "Where is Hibari-san?"

He only stared at him with glistening jade orbs and mumbled in a trembling voice. "L-lambo-san d-doesn't know."

"THAT'S IT! YOU STUPID – "

If it weren't for Yamamoto and Tetsuya restraining the short-tempered bomber man, Gokudera had definitely killed Lambo with his bare hands. The child only stuck his tongue out and jumped into Kyoko's arms and buried his face on her chest.

Tsuna sighed audibly. His life is definitely screwed up ever since Reborn introduced the Mafia in his life.

"Alright everyone, we should consult first Shouchi-kun about the bazooka then find Hibari-san."

They all nodded and left the place.

Unbeknownst to them, someone had been listening to their conversation the whole time.

Location: Namimori Middle School, Faculty Hallway

Chrome Dokuro rushed towards the Faculty room, hoping to find their English teacher still there and pass her late essay. She was too preoccupied at the thought of staying at Kyoko's home after Mukuro told her to leave Kokuyo Land that she couldn't come up with any sentences at all. She was glad that Kyoko whole-heartedly accepted her, wondering what she could give her in return as gratitude. Knocking gently at the door, she waited patiently; praying that her Sensei hasn't left yet.

The door opened to reveal her sensei, smiling down at her. Dino Chiavarone.

"Ah Chrome! What brings you here?" Dino greeted, flashing the girl a smile that makes girls swoon over him. His fake eyeglasses were pushed up to his blonde locks which only heightened his appeal.

She blushed in pink shade realizing she'd been gazing at him a bit too intensely and hesitantly handed her work. "Uhm… Can I still pass this, sensei?" She mumbled shyly in embarrassment. "S-sorry for passing it late." She added softly, bowing her head.

"Eh? Don't worry Chrome, it's alright." He took the paper from her hand and gave her a soft pat on the head. Ah, how cute and innocent she looked Dino thought as he observed her. No he wasn't checking her out. He was just observing her. The way she blushes automatically and naturally was beyond cuteness, he wanted to cup her cheeks. Gah. Damn hormones.

"Arigatou, sensei." She replied, biting her lower lip before she turned to leave.

"Neh Chrome," Dino wanted to whip himself for letting his mouth slip.

The girl stared back at him in query. "Yes sensei?"

"Want me to give – " His question never finished when…

"Get back here pussy!"

Both their attention were set at the group of students who were running towards them. Ahead was a black neko who dashed rapidly trying to escape its captors. The idiots won't just give up until they beat him into a pulp after painfully clawing his hand. Hibari never ran from his enemies but in this kind of situation, where you're too vulnerable to fight, he had to. Aside from simply scratching and hissing, there were no other attacks he could do that will send them straight to the Intensive Care Unit. Once he turned back to his real self, back to his human form, he will do more than biting. He will kill them and bury their bodies in the school garden as fertilizers.

Before him stood the bucking horse disguised as an English teacher and Chrome Dokuro. His eyes instantly narrowed at her. Mukuro's infamous Kufufu rang in his ears as if to tease which sent him leaping towards her in fury.

Chrome watched the cat intently as it sprung towards her, paws outstretched before her. Instinctively, she held out her arms and caught the furry creature in ease. She had adored cats ever since she was a child and through her experience, she learned how to tame them. Maybe including this one?

He was surprised that the girl readily caught him but that won't stop him from scratching her to death. He raised his paw, extracting the sharp claws that hid beneath and began to tear away her skin frantically – that is if he did managed to do that. Because instead of thrashing in her hold and act out his plans, he found himself purring, purring in delight in the arms of his nemesis' vessel. He can feel his throat vibrate in utter bliss as her fingers massaged him behind his cat ears.

Dino was positive the cat had a malicious killing aura when it saw Chrome. But as he watched the girl tame the fur ball in ease, he felt his jaw drop for a moment. Then he turned to his side and found the Seniors panting. He raised a delicate eyebrow, pondering why these students are not in their respective classes. Plus, Hibari should've taken care of them even before they could reach this area. Now that was weird.

"Shouldn't you be back in your classrooms?" He asked them in a voice full of authority.

They all gulped nervously and hurriedly bolted out of his sight. Tch. Idiots.

"You okay, Chrome?" Dino asked her, still suspicious of the cat that was currently enjoying the bliss her fingers offered.

"Hai Sensei." She replied with a small smile and a blush. She stared down at the feline in her arms and smiled even wider when it nestled further, eyes closed and creating mewls of satisfaction. Chrome wondered how a cat entered the school premises. "Are cats allowed in school, Sensei?"

"I don't think so, Chrome. I've never seen any kind of animal enter this school except Hibird." He leaned down to the level of her arms and examined the cat. Its fur was coal black and was the size of an average grown cat. Its eye opened when he poked its nose and was surprised when it gave him a nasty glare. Steel gray eyes narrowed dangerously at the blond. Dino knows that look.

Mreow!

His paw, adorned with claws instantly shot to land a bruise on his so called handsome face but he was too damn fast, the neko prefect missed.

How dare that fucking horse poke him!

"Whoa whoa! That's one rude feline you got there. It totally resembles Kyoya." He scratched his head and sweat dropped when it started to make snarling noises, trying to pry off Chrome. It definitely acts like the stubborn prefect.

"Kumo-san?" She restrained the neko and stared questioningly at Dino.

He nodded, teasing the cat by poking it further on its head. It hissed murderously.

Hibari cursed at Chrome. She was restraining him and he doesn't like it.

Not.

At.

All.

And no matter how hard he tried to squirm away from her tight hold on his small body, her arms won't budge.

"Does it have a tag?"

Chrome tilted its head and shook her head. Dino grinned. "Then it's officially yours. You should call it Kyoya." He suggested slyly.

The girl lifted the cat and eyed it with twinkling purple eyes, smiling at the creature that looked back with a frown. He'll let this event slip; after all, they did save him from the herbivores but the pokes of Dino won't be forgiven. Not one bit.

"Kyoya-kun it is." She affirmed, giggling quietly to herself and hugged the neko.

Review? :3

Fail? Or Epic fail? Kidding!

I just hope I didn't lose my writing skills yet. Too lazy to edit right now if there are any errors.

Please do tell! XD
