Two Hearts {Hibari x Oc/ Dino x Oc}

Chapter 2

The sun was shining bright, signaling the beginning of her day. The warm summer breeze cured her drowsiness. Kazuko yawned a bit as she walked toward her destination. She was on her way to her school but not before she met with her cousin and friend who tagged along before they all went separate ways. It was the beginning of a new school year and so far she was quite the loner. She had no real friends there. The only friends she had were her upperclassmen sister who she saw only during their first two classes, her cousin Hana Kurokawa, and her friend Kyoko Sasagawa, but those two went to a completely different school than her. They walked to and from school together because their schools weren't that far from each other and it was the only time they could spend any time together besides weekends.

"Kazuko!"

Kazuko turned to the sound of her name being called and gave a slight wave to the girl running up to her side. It was Kyoko.

"Good morning." Kazuko was introduced to Hana's friend during the summer and to be honest at first she was a bit jealous. Kazuko had only one other friend beside her sister and she felt as if this new girl was going to take Hana away from her. However, she grew to like Kyoko. She was always smiling. Kyoko was a bit shorter than her with golden brown short hair and golden eyes. She had an innocence and naivety about her that was refreshing.

"Hana's late," Kazuko said glancing at her watch on her wrist as the two continued making their way to school.

"She'll be out soon," Kyoko said with a giggle, "Say, Kazuko, what should we do to celebrate the new school year?"

"Celebrate?" Kazuko muttered, she hadn't really thought about celebrating the start of a new school year. There had been so many before, this one and it didn't seem any more important than the last or the next one.

"I don't think that's really necessary."

"Whaaat," Kyoko's voice filled with astonishment, "but wouldn't a little party together be fun?"

Kazuko wasn't one to celebrate every achievement she made. After the one-hundredth celebration of a milestone, it became stale. Kazuko saw the slight disappointment on her friend's face and sighed.

"Let's see what Hana thinks?"

Kyoko immediately perked up then suddenly a lazy voice was heard from behind and the girls turned their heads to look behind them.

"Morning," Hana said as if she was on cue. She appeared from around the corner of another street, stretching her arms and yawning.

"Good Morning Hana," Kyoko said brightly. Hana sighed heavily, she seemed more tired than she normally did in the mornings.

"Any longer and you would have missed us," Kazuko said dryly.

"Yeah, yeah," Hana replied casually, " You don't get a lot of rest around here lately..." A scowl dawned on Kazuko's face and Kyoko tilted her head.

"What do you mean?" Kazuko asked.

"Don't you get woken up in the middle of the night by fireworks?" Hana asked as she peered over her shoulders while squinting. She looked as if she were making sure she wasn't being watched.

"What are you looking for?" Kyoko asked. Even she began to peer over her shoulders to see if she could find whatever Hana was looking for.

"It's right around this time in the morning when we see something strange," Hana said, "and it usually has something to do with that no-good Tsuna."

"Tsuna?" Kazuko was sure her cousin was losing it more and more everytime she saw her.

"He's a student at our school! He's a little rambunctious though." Kyoko said with a giggle. Kazuko shrugged, them talking about another student didn't interest her in the slightest, until half a second later.

"AGGGGH! THAT'S A SHORTCUT!"

The girls ceased all movements. Kazuko wouldn't have believed it if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes. A boy. A boy wearing nothing but red boxers, glowing skin, and what appeared to be a flame on his forehead ran past them at impossible speed. He was yelling, hopping onto fences, and running on rooves. Kazuko felt her left eye twitch involuntarily.

"There he goes again..." Hana sighed as she covered her face with her hand and Kyoko smiled widely.

Again. As in this has happened before?

"T-This is...This is an everyday thing?" Kazuko asked frantically.

"Yeah," Hana said, clearly annoyed, "And that's our cue. Let's hurry Kyoko or we're gonna be late."

Hana and Kyoko waved and made a slow jog toward their school. Kazuko, however, was left filled with more questions than answers.

Kazuko shook her head and made her way to her school. It was at that moment she felt a pair of eyes piercing through her and turned around. There was no one but a lonely gust of wind and a single leaf caught in its flow. Kazuko frowned deeply as she made her way to school, she felt as if this was the last normal day she'd ever have.
