Necklace, a KHR FanFic 6

She was in his arms. The sun already set. He waited. She gently opened her eyes. He was relieved that she was okay.

He helped her stand up and guided her to the bench. They sat. He offered his lap and she laid her head on them.

"Are you okay, Hikari?" Hayato sounded worried.

Hikari nodded and smiled at him. "I'm fine. Thank you."

"You fainted. Why is that?"

"Haha. I forgot to tell you. Since I'm new with it, I can still barely control it. It makes my body weak. You can't blame me. It's my first time, and I'm a girl. It took all my energy, especially the last one."

"The last one, the Sky. You're not the boss yet you can use the Sky. No. You can use them all, all of the Sky Attributes. That's good news! Why don't we tell the others, Hikari?"

"You addressed me by my first name again."

"Why? You and me, we're friends now. And we're very close, literally close."

Hikari blushed. She tried to sit up to stop Hayato from teasing her but Hayato didn't let him to.

"See? We're really close. Why don't you call me by first name, too?"

"Will that be fine? I mean, we just met."

"Of course it's fine. I don't see anything wrong with it."

Hikari felt uncomfortable. "H-Ha-Hayato-k-kun…"

Hayato laughed a little then smiled. "As I said a while ago, why don't we tell the others?"

"No."

"Why?"

"I'll collapse."

"Oh," Hayato remembered that he just caught Hikari when she fainted after showing him her true powers.

"Don't worry. We'll find the right time to tell them," Hikari smiled.

Hayato smiled back. "Okay."

They were staring at each other, glittered by each other's smile. They didn't notice that it was dark already and the lamp posts were already turned on. Hayato held Hikari's hand. He was subconsciously leaning nearer towards Hikari in a slow pace. Hikari, on the other hand, was blushing; she didn't know what to do.

"You're too close," that was all she can say.

"I told you we're close," Hayato teased.

"Ah! So here's where you're gone to," a tensed voice said.

Hayato and Hikari, still in position where she was laying down on his lap, he was holding her hand, and his face very near to hers, looked at where the voice came from. The one who spoke was Tsuna. He was with Reborn, Takeshi and Kyoya.

Tsuna screeched. "Hiiiii! Excuse us for disturbing you!"

"Oh," Reborn said awed and sarcastically. "So you really like her, Gokudera?"

Hayato and Hikari quickly stood up and walked together towards the others. Hayato tried to help her like he was saying, You can still barely stand. But Hikari looked at her with scared eyes like she knows that something bad will happen. Her eyes tells Hayato, I'm fine. J-Just… leave me for a moment.

Kyoya walked towards Hikari and grasped her away from Hayato. She again looked at Hayato with eyes saying, I knew this would happen. Just take care.

Kyoya faced Hayato. "What are you doing to her?"

Hayato glared.

"Don't, Kyoya-niisan," Hikari said. "Hayato-kun didn't do anything to me."

"Hayato?" Takeshi said. "That's strange. Only Bianchi-san calls him that."

"Now this is nice," Reborn teased.

"Why are you here, anyway?" Hikari asked to remove the tension from everyone.

"Oh, good thing you reminded us, Serizawa," Reborn said and jumped from Tsuna's shoulder. "We were finding you two because you're the only ones who don't know the latest news yet.

"Tsuna and I went to Ryohei's unit to tell him the news. Then we went to Mukuro and told him, too. We went to Yamamoto's unit and told him, and then he tagged along. We went to your room, Hayato, but Bianchi said that you're not there. We looked for you in your room, Serizawa, but we just saw Hibari there. He looked at the time and he became worried that is was dark already yet you're not home yet. So we all went to find you. It's surprising that you're together."

"What are you going to tell us anyway?" Hikari asked to drop off the hot issue.

"We heard from Shoichi, who is currently at Namimori, that Shimon Family has finally made their move," Reborn said. "Irie is going here to Higurashi tomorrow morning and will stay at Spanner's place."

"Made their move?" Hikari asked. "What do you mean by that?"

"Their rings will be fully awakened very soon," Reborn answered. "They are currently finding the Vongola Guardians. Good thing Irie is on surveillance that can make us move more advance than them."

"But we can't hide forever, can we?" Hayato said.

"That's right," Reborn said. "That's why we will train. Tomorrow morning, we need to skip school to train."

"Skip school!?" Hikari exclaimed. "We will skip school just for training?!"

Tsuna went near to Hikari to calm her down. "Uh, Serizawa-san, we're used to it. Hibari-san didn't tell you?"

Hikari shook her head. "You're used to it?"

Reborn laughed. "Yes. They have intense training everyday so they skip school."

"But you said that we're going to train after school?" Hikari defended.

"Shimon Family will soon find out that we moved," Reborn said. "So we need to train earlier than expected."

Hikari spoke no more.

Kyoya patted her shoulder and smiled at her. He faced Reborn. "Where will we train and what time?"

"We'll start at 8:00 AM, and we'll see each other at Higurashi Shrine," Reborn announced.

"Why were you with that guy, Hikari?" Kyoya asked as soon as they reached their room. "Don't you know that he's a delinquent?"

"I think he's not, Kyoya-niisan," Hikari answered. "He's really nice."

Kyoya didn't debate on that anymore. "Why are you with him, lying down on him like that, more importantly?"

Hikari remembered flashbacks. She remembered vividly Hayato's face near hers. But Kyoya broke her imaginations.

"Hikari, I'm asking you," Kyoya said, now in a martinet voice.

Hikari was scared. "I-I fainted a while ago…"

"What's the reason?"

Hikari was unable to speak a word and was avoiding Kyoya's eyes.

Kyoya went near Hikari who was sitting in a sofa and he knelt down in front of her. He held her chin and titled her head up for them to have an eye-to-eye contact. Hikari looked away.

"You're hiding something from me, aren't you?" Kyoya demanded.

Hikari pushed away Kyoya's hand from her. "It's my first time I hid something from you."

Kyoya stood up and sat beside Hikari. He waited for her next words.

"I hid it because…" Hikari sighed. "I don't know how to tell you."

Kyoya laughed a little, and then held Hikari's hand. "Just tell me. Just speak yourself up."

Then Hikari started speaking. She told him that she discovered her power just recently and can barely control it. He asked what power is that. She answered that the ring an let her use the seven Sky Attributes that corresponds to what she will say.

"Corresponds to what you would say?" Kyoya asked.

Hikari sighed. She just raised her right hand, where her ring is, up. "Ame."

As soon as she said that, flames formed on her forehead and hands. Her eyes turned blue.

"Kumo," she said. Then the flames and her eyes turned violet.

Hikari closed her eyes and sighed. She nearly fainted again. "I told you I fainted a while ago. I demonstrated the seven Sky Attributes in front of Hayato."

"Why didn't you tell me first?" Kyoya asked.

"I told you I don't know how to tell you."

"So you mean, you've got Seven Energy Waves in your body?"

"Probably. But I don't know what this ring is. I think it's the one responsible why I can use them all."

Kyoya nodded. He turned to Hikari. "You rest for a while. Training will start tomorrow."

He was about to leave when Hikari called him. "Kyoya-niisan."

"Hmm?"

"Please don't tell the others yet."

"Okay," Kyoya smiled then left.

"You're too close," she said when he stopped leaning in.

"I told you we're close," he teased. "And you can run away whenever you like to."

His hand gripped her hand tighter and he leaned towards her again. His eyes showed eagerness and says that his lips wanted to touch hers.

She closed her eyes. She opened them again but his face wasn't there anymore. What she saw was the ceiling of her room. A dream?

She sat up and shook her head to wake herself up. Why are you dreaming about him? And why on that scene?! Idiot!

"Ohayou gozaimasu~" Hikari said.

"Ohayou," Kyoya answered. He was preparing breakfast for both of them.

Hikari hurried to the kitchen and helped Kyoya. "G-Gomen, Kyoya-niisan. I woke up late and wasn't able to prepare breakfast."

Kyoya grinned. "That's okay. Just sit there on the dining table. I'll be the one to prepare today. You've been preparing for too long."

"But---"

"And why are you in your school uniform?"

"Isn't it Monday?"

"We'll train, remember?"

Hikari was surprised. Yeah. I almost forgot about that.

"What's the 'attire' for training?" Hikari asked.

Kyoya laughed. "Anything you want to wear but be sure that it will make you comfortable, that you won't be conscious whatever move you'll make."

"But…" Hikari hesitated to speak. "Does that mean that training is hard? Something with kicking and flying and combat and all?"

"Somehow…"

"But… my most comfortable clothes are the clothes I don't want anyone to see."

"Okay. Then choose: clothes that are okay for us to see but you can't move or those clothes that you've been hiding but you can freely move with it?"

Hikari wasn't able to answer.

"There are perverts in the Mafia, too, Hikari."

Hikari blushed then sighed. "Okay! Drop the 'attire' issue! I've decided!"

"Come on," Kyoya smiled. "Let's eat our breakfast and go to Higurashi Shrine."

They were all staring at Hikari as soon as they assembled at the said meeting place.

Hikari was self-conscious. "W-What…?"

"S-Serizawa," Tsuna mumbled. "Are you going on a gig? Or… is that cosplay…?"

Hikari was now feeling uneasy. "I-I thought I should wear comfortable clothes b-because it's training…"

Hayato studied Hikari. She was wearing a while polo blouse and a black tank top on it. She had a red tie. She wears a red skirt, a pair of black and white stripe socks and red doll shoes. No matter how you look at it, she looks Goth. He blushed a little when he saw her brown hair down again. "It looks great on you, Hikari."

Hikari blushed. "Thank you, Hayato-kun."

"Are you going out already?" Takeshi asked frankly. "You've been calling each other by your first names, I noticed."

Hayato and Hikari blushed.

"No," Hikari answered. "We're just close friends that's why we address each other with our first name."

"Really?" Reborn smirked.

"Never mind that," Hayato exclaimed. "Let's just start training."

"Be patient, Gokudera," Reborn said. "We'll wait for my friends who'll help me in training you."
