White

Second Life

He didn't know what happened, but he ended up in this, white room where nothing else exist except himself. He caught flashes of somethings by the corner of his eyes, but he didn't managed to catch what it really was as it disappeared without a trace. He frowned and looked around him, trying to look for any clue to where he was. 

And he saw a silhouette. He frowned, finding it familiar. He slowly moved closer and closer to the silhouette, noticing the mild indigo gas around it, no, it was a he. "What..." His voice echoed against the empty space as he stood directly in front of the person, floating and unconscious with the indigo gas holding him up. No, not indigo gas.

A oval-like glass container with indigo flames circulating around it almost protectively. 

Ryuuichi slowly raised his hand to touch it, placing it on the glass near the face as he tried to see clearer through the shrouds of mist. When he finally got a clearer look, his eyes widen. 

That person, was a complete carbon copy of Ryuuichi. 

---------------------------------------------------

Hibari didn't knew whether to be exasperated or annoyed, or both as the matter of fact. He rubbed his temple as he went to check if the small animal was in the toilet, which he wasn't. Somehow, when the prefect went out to buy a cup of hot tea (It tasted really bad, but he would have to cope with it, sadly), Ryuuichi had manage to sneak out.

He sighed and placed the cup on the night stand beside the bed, wondering how did someone with torn ligaments managed to walk off without him noticing. He was just, at the other corner by the vending machine. And he was pretty sure that Ryuuichi was still asleep when he went out.

Just as he was about to search for the missing teen outside, he noticed a familiar frame limply trotted into his view from the window. He turned to the window and looked out to see Ryuuichi standing on a pile of white snow, fidgeting like a penguin. It had snowed the previous night, stopping just before the break of dawn. It was pretty piled up since it snowed quite a lot.

He shook his head when Ryuuichi actually sat on the snow with a grimace on his face since he couldn't crouch. He took his coat from the chair and immediately headed towards the small yard where Ryuuichi was. 

"What are you doing?"

Ryuuuichi yelped and turned his head towards Hibari as much as he could from his position, before sighing in relief. He gave him a grinned and returned his attention to the snow. He grabbed a handful of it with his bare hands, packing it tightly into a small, oval ball. He grabbed two leaves he had found and two small pebbles he had dug out from the snow, and placed it on the snow ball. 

"Look!" He showed to the prefect, who crouched down beside him."Snow bunny!" It was really cute, Hibari had to admit, but his main priority at the moment was this idiot. "I can see that. I'm asking what are you doing, sitting on the snow with such thin clothes?"

Ryuuichi was wearing a thin set of pajama the hospital staff provided with only a long cardigan his brother brought over since it was getting colder and colder. He gave him a sheepish smile and shrugged. "I can stand it. Besides, it snowed! Look at this pile of white fluff!" He patted the ground beside him, acting like a five year old child. Then again, his mind did turned back into a teenager of Hibari's age, still in his puberty stage, in a sense anyway. Hibari could only sigh in exasperation.

Ryuuichi pouted at that sigh and gathered the snow again, packing it together tightly and threw it at Hibari. The prefect was caught off guard as Ryuuichi laughed. "S-sorry not sorry!"

Hibari narrowed his eyes at the teen as he dusted the snow from his shoulder. His eyes glinted and he grabbed the teen's hand. Before the other could do anything, he plunged it into the snow and held it there. "Uwa-! W-w-woah wait let go- It's burning!" He didn't let go. Instead, he held tighter, a sadistic smirk on his face. "Give! I give up!"

He finally loosen his grip and pulled the now red hand out from the snow. "Serves you right." He grabbed the other hand, slightly red as well and held both together in his slightly larger hands. He rubbed them together and breathed into it, warming his hands up. "Why did you even play in the snow with your bare hands?"

When he was sure that it returned to it's normal temperature, he looked up to Ryuuichi, face rather close to his. He arched an eyebrow when he noticed how red the younger teen was. Even his ears and neck were red. "Cold?"

Ryuuichi snapped out of his trance and immediately looked away. He tried to pull his hands away from Hibari's to no avail. "N-no! I-I'm not cold!" Rather than cold, he was actually feeling hot. Too hot for his comfort. Especially with Hibari being too near to him. When he tried to lean away, Hibari merely leaned in.

"W-w-w-what?!"

And Hibari bit the bridge of his nose. Ryuuichi squeaked loudly and backed away, finally managed to get his hands out of Hibari''s grasp and covered his nose. He grew even more red at that, and he was sure that there were smoke coming out of his ears. The prefect actually had the nerve to smirk at him after what he had done. Ryuuichi wanted to punch Hibari right there, right then, but he just couldn't cool his heating face down.

Hibari chuckled. Ryuuichi looked like an offended kitten, much to his amusement. He reached over and pulled his coat over Ryuuichi's shoulder. "Let's get back inside. It's cold."

"O-okay." Before the other managed to push himself up, Hibari already had one arm under his legs and the other supporting his back, and he was lifted up with general ease. Ryuuichi squeaked even louder and protested, wanting Hibari to immediately put him down.  

"No. Mind if I remind you that you have torn ligaments that are still healing." Without paying any heed to the protests, he merely held the teen tighter and walked into the building. 

---------------------------------------------------

Amemori had saw all their exchange from where he was in Ryuuichi's room. He had a dark look on his face as he clenched his hands tightly, knuckles turning white. His eyes glinted in red, flashing.

---------------------------------------------------

Forget about cooling down. Ryuuichi was absolutely heating up. He moaaned in despair and tried to cover his face with his hands as they passed by a few nurses, doctors and patients even, all staring at them. 'This is too much! Is Hibari this shameless?!'

When they finally reached the room, Hibari narrowed his eyes at Amemori. Amemori ree of his own as they glared at each other, more of rage from Amemori. The glare immediately disappear as Amemori walked over to Ryuuichi from the window, smiling brightly. 

Ryuuichi didn't noticed the exchange as he was too busy pushing everything down, grinned back at Amemori. "Good morning, Hibiki."

"Good morning to you as well, Ryuuichi, Hibari-san." He did, however, noticed how the prefect's name was slightly gritted out. He said nothing about it. 

Amemori cupped his face, surprising Ryuuichi. "Why did you even went out and play while wearing that? What if you catch a cold?" Ryuuichi laughed nervously and scratched his cheek. "Well, I can't help it. It was snowing after all!"

"Yes, but you should wear something warmer next time." He pouted and deflated. "Okay..." He looked like a dejected kitten in both Amemori and Hibari's eyes, adorable. He opened again, and in flash, he grabbed the hand on his other cheek and bit into it hard.

"Ouch! R-Ryuuichi! Let go!" He increased the pressure for a moment before letting go. Amemori immediately retracted his hand from him and backed away from Ryuuichi's reach, cradling his poor hand. Ryuuichi merely gave Amemori a feral grin when he asked why. "Just feel like it~"

(Hibari noted that Ryuuichi could really bite, given how red Amemori's hand was. He noted with pride, mind you.)

A familiar shiver ran down Ryuuichi's spine. His grin dropped as he tried to figure out what it was, to see Rokudo Mukuro standing by the door, smirking. 'Are. You. Kidding. Me.'

"Oya oya, how lively all of you are in the morning." Hibari, who was standing beside Ryuuichi disappeared into a blur and reappeared in front of Mukuro, his tonfa out and pushing against the trident. 

"What are you doing here, herbivore."

"Can't I visit someone, Hibari Kyouya?" The said prefect was pushed back, jumping away from the bluenette and snarled. He was about to rush forward and attack Mukuro again, only to have a pillow thrown in between them.

They both turned to Ryuuichi. He was glaring at the both of them, a stern look on his face. "No fighting. This is a hospital." He kept the glare up until they, with great reluctant, kept their weapons away. He turned to Mukuro and dropped the glare, smiling slightly. "Good morning, Mukuro."

Mukuro looked a bit surprised at that. He hadn't expect such a calm demeanor from the other even after losing his memories. Granted, he probably knew and remembered a lot of things about Mukuro now that he could only remember his sixteen years of living, but the last thing Mukuro expected is this. Again, the same eyes yet different ones, gazed at him. There was nothing but kindness and happiness, and heaven forbid, acceptance. There was no understanding in them, however. Mukuro didn't need them, as how Ryuuichi knew that as well. He didn't need all that from Ryuuichi. Ryuuichi is, and will forever be, no one to him. 

And yet, it made him smile. 

He quickly covered the smile up into a smirk and walked nearer to Ryuuichi. "Good morning, sleeping beauty." He grabbed Ryuuichi's hand and pulled it near his lips, giving it a small peck. His heterochromatic eyes were on Ryuuichi all the time, watching how his face turned red from that in amusement. 

"I-I- What?" It was quite cute of him to stutter like that. Did reverting back to his teenage mind made him more cuter and endearing? Mukuro didn't know. 

He was pulled back, a tonfa on his neck as Hibari growled lowly. He smirked at the prefect, turning his gaze sharply to Amemori who was scowling. 'How interesting.'

"Good morning Ryuu-kun-" They stopped when Sakura, Kei and Yuuichi walked into the room. Sakura blinked in surprise at the three standing teen, took in Ryuuichi's red face and flailing hands, and squealed. "Oh my~! So many suitors!"

"M-mother!"

"I'll support your decision on whoever it is, my dear!" "Mother!!"

Ryuuichi groaned into his hands, wondering what was with his life. Yuuichi then came into view, and in a rather deadpanned manner, "They'll have to get through me first."

"You're not helping, Yuu!"

He noticed how Hibari and Mukuro perked up at that, and glared at them. "Don't you guys dare. I'll skin you both alive."

They deflated.

Kei immediately interfered as he pushed his wife and youngest son into the room and closed the door. "Guess what, Ryuu. You can be discharged today!" He smiled when the said teen brighten up at the good news. He knew that he wanted to get out of the hospital for awhile. The hospital is really stuffy and stiff after all. "The doctor said that you're healing very fast, so you're free to go." Albeit too fast for someone who got hit by a truck. It surprised the doctor when he saw how well Ryuuichi was healing, and that he was already able to walk, quite a miracle for him. 

Too bad for the doctor, he didn't knew that there was something call Sun Flames. (Reborn. It was Reborn. Kei noticed the small amount of Sun flames in the air whenever Reborn was there. That, and the hitman kept sitting on Ryuuichi's lap whenever he visited.)

Amemori suddenly ruffled Ryuuichi's hair, smiling happily at him. "Isn't that great?"

"Yep!" Hibari glared at Amemori, tonfa long kept away when Kei gave Ryuuichi the news. Mukuro looked absolutely amused, smirking so badly. 

Sakura noticed all of it, watching how everything centered on Ryuuichi and giggled to herself.

'How adorable, these kids.'

"Sakura?" She turned to Kei with a happy smile, flowers popping out of nowhere. "Nothing~" (Kei shuddered. That wasn't a 'nothing' at all.)

---------------------------------------------------

Ryuuichi looked in awe as he explored his home, limply walked around as he took in everything. It looked normal, but he still felt amazed by it. His parents chuckled as Yuuichi pulled him upstair slowly. "Come on. Your room is this way." As he stepped into his room, the first thing he noticed was, it was spacious. Really spacious.

The two wooden shelves by the wall were 80 percent filled, most filled with novels, a few dictionaries, manga, and a whole lot more. The wardrobe was next to the shelves, had a body length mirror. The L-shaped computer desk slash study table against the corner of the room, was quite messy, but it was acceptable, the black computer chair pushed in. His bed, mind him, was a bloody queen-sized bed. Why would he need a queen-sized bed when he clearly sleeps alone was beyond his knowledge.  

He, honest to god, didn't knew why he needed that mirror, or that queen-sized bed, or that large drawer under the table beside a, storage box? (He would rummage everything out and wonder later.)

However bizarre it was to Ryuuichi, the familiarity had him loosen up and relax. He walked up to the bed and sat on it. That was when he noticed the large Hibird plushy on his bed. His eyes widen and pulled it closer. ".... Hibari?"

Yuuichi laughed. "Yes. Hibari."

Ryuuichi nodded and squeezed it. He released the pressure and the Hibird plushie bounced back to it's normal shape. 'It's so fluffy!!' (Yuuichi rubbed his eyes. He must be hallucinating because he thought that he saw flowers bouncing out from Ryuuichi. Oh wait. He wasn't.) He placed the Hibird plushy back to it's place.

"I wonder where did he find this..." He murmured before standing up and faced Yuuichi. His eyes were practically shiny and sparkling. "Show me the other rooms."

----------------------------------------------------

Ryuuichi had fell asleep in the midst of rummaging his stuff on the floor, leaning against the side of his bed. Yuuichi sighed fondly. knelt down beside his brother and shook his shoulder. "Ryuu, wake up. You'll catch a cold if you sleep here." He shook harder when his brother groaned, mumbling something under his breathe.

"Ryuu."

He watched how his brother's eyebrows scrunched together into a frown before he opened his eyes. Those hazy dark brown eyes looked at him, before he groggily looked around his room. 'He must be really tired.' Yuuichi mused. He slung one of Ryuuichi's arm over his shoulder, and slowly pulled him up. 

"Come on, sleep on your bed." When he was about to sat Ryuuichi down on the mattress, he was pulled down and the twins ended flopped on the bed with a thud. "Wha- Ryuu--" He tried to pull Ryuuichi's arms away from him, but his brother held on tightly. "Yuu.." Ryuuichi mumbled, eyes slowly closing. ".. It's too bad it wasn't a White Christmas..."

Yuuichi's eyes widen at that and looked at Ryuuichi again, only to see his brother asleep again. 'Was he dreaming, or did he remembered..?' Yuuichi tangled his fingers with Ryuuichi's hair, gently scraping his scalp. A small, exasperated smile was on. "Yeah.. It's too bad..."

A satisfied smile appeared on Ryuuichi's face as he unconsciously pulled Yuuichi closer.

(An hour later, when Kei and Sakura went up to see what they were doing, squealed and quickly took pictures. The twin was holding each other tightly, sleeping.)

----------------------------------------------------

Dino was actually doing his work in the guest room he was temporarily staying in the Shiroki household. He, after all, did rush over to Japan and left all his work behind. It was unbefitting of him, so said his ex-tutor. He knew that, of course, which was why he had brought along his laptop.

Currently, he was going through a few proposals, emails and such when Ryuuichi came in. His eyes widen at the familiar yellow bird in a form of a plush toy clutched tightly in Ryuuichi's arms as the younger trotted over to where he was on the bed and sat down beside him. "What are you doing?"

He frowned at the slightly slurred words. He then realized that Ryuuichi hair was tussled, disheveled. His shirt was cruppled as well, eyelids half opened. 'He's half asleep, isn't he?'

He pulled Ryuuichi closer since it was quite cold. That, and the single bed was quite small since Dino was such a giant, being 183 centimeter tall. He didn't want Ryuuichi to fall down. He hummed. "Work. Is there anything you need?"

He chuckled at how Ryuuichi squinted his eyes at the screen, reading the mail from a possible ally Famiglia. "... Decline..."

"Oh?" He raised an eyebrow. The whole mail was in Italian and despite that he knew Ryuuichi understood Italian, it should be hard for him to understand the whole thing. "It's really a good proposal, so why should I decline it?" Deciding to test the younger, he asked. (He originally had wanted to decline it and was still debating on it, so opinion from someone else would be really good.) 

Ryuuichi sluggishly pointed at a paragraph. "... Loopholes in the proposal. Can possibly lead to drug dealings on turf. And," He moved to another. "Supplying weapons without any reason is bad. Can lead to possible war." He then moved to the last paragraph.

"... Why does this dude need 6 million if this proposal is accepted? This is a proposal?" 

Dino nodded, impressed. He ruffled Ryuuichi's already messy hair, managed to squeeze out a whine from the teen. "Good job."

He stopped ruffling as Ryuuichi held his hand on his head. The teen sleepily grinned at him. '... Did he really see all that in this kind of condition?' Dino sweated a little. He decided, when Ryuuichi regained his memories, he would ambush the teen when he was half asleep to see his condition and test again. This is too intriguing.

"..."

"Wait why are you so hot?" He frowned and pulled Ryuuichi's head closer to his, placing his forehead against Ryuuichi's. His eyes widen.

"You're burning up!" Loud, hasty footsteps was heard across the hallway and Yuuichi bragged in with medicine in hand just as Dino placed his laptop aside. "Ryuuichi! I told you to stay put!"

Ryuuichi merely giggled to himself and fell asleep on Dino's chest.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A/N= Welll, that was fun. 

I won't say anything about the first part. The only thing is, Ryuuichi was dreaming, and he was in some kind of dream scape, you know. Yeah. And his saw himself. I won't say anything else here. Although, yes, Mukuro has something to do with this.

At first I was like, why not make it a White Christmas! And then when I wrote it all out, I realized it was really messy and, a bit fast. I was like, ??!? So we ended up with this.

And then the part with Hibari. I grinned so much that my cheeks hurt. 

I've no idea what I wrote on Mukuro's part so, *wave hand aside*

Fun Fact= Occasionally, Ryuuichi would end up as a drunkard like person when he catch a cold. Though, most of the time he would be more the normal, cranky kind but there'll still be these kind of time. A drunk, I tell you. A drunk.
