Skylark Dragon

Higashima Kenta is never alone. Not when his father die. Not when he's moving away from his quaint hometowm to strange place. Not even when he's confined to cell or penitence room or whatever isolation room people have. No matter what happened, Kenta is never alone.

Because there's someone else at back of his head.

It start when he was four. Otou-san and Okaa-san brought him to zoo. Kenta loves it. He enjoys watching animal in real life more than he enjoy watching documentaries. Even if there's only so much he can see, the fact he see the real deal was very enjoyable.

And then everything go bad.

A bad man suddenly attack. Villain, he would later heard and associate the term with Superpowered Rule Breakers. The man take over the zoo. He made animal go crazy and attacking people left and right. The grace and power the animal possess suddenly gone. Replaced by endless madness and mania and mindless rage and Kenta hates it.

He hate it more when the man, not the animal, the man personally kill Tou-san. He hate it when the man's hand go through Tou-san's chest and splatter something red and warm all over Kenta's face.

He completely lose it when the man moved to Kaa-san.

That's when Other wake up.

Looking back at it, Kenta would fondly remember when Other took over his body. How Other smoothly, gracefully take solid, steady step to protect Mother. Kenta watch with wide eyes when his body move out of his control. How he attacked the man by punching him in the nuts and stepped on it when the man fall. The pain was enough to made the Bad Man release his control over animal and let the Police and Heroes appeherend him. They scold Kenta (Other) for his carelessness attacking a Villain.

Kenta doesn't like them. They're slow and stupid and useless.

He paid them no attention, focusing on Okaa-san, who is hugging him and crying. Kenta is crying too because Father is cool and awesome and brave and definitely better than those slowspoke so-called Heroes and he's no longer here, but he doesn't sobbing.

He won't sob. He won't show weakness.

He is strong. He will be the strongest. For Okaa-san. For Otou-san. For himself.

No more. He decided. No more cowering. No more weakness. No more helplessness.

No more.

The Zoo Incident was beginning of many times Other awake and took over.

At beginning Kenta was rather cross. Other is not like him and doesn't even bother to pretend to be Kenta. Other would go to class, learn, score perfect score. When he was (they were) older, Other won't drink or smoke. Won't let Kenta. Won't even give pleasure ladies a glance. Would steer away from Fun House. Other has soft spot for bird and hedgehod, which embarass Kenta because he won't admit he likes cute, small animal.

People notice it. They call him names behind his back.

Crazy, they whispered. Bipolar, smarter ones said. Damaged, the snotty one replied.

People know Kenta attacked a Villain Cape whom kill his Tou-san when Kenta was four and think he's gone damaged because of that. The school tried to send him to psychiatrist.

Kenta was very cross and annoyed.

He want to kick Other's ass but... Other is Strong. Very strong. And smart.

Other let Kenta fight. No. He nugged Kenta to challenge people. Head of Disciplinary Committe. The Gangs. Even the Yakuza. He want to Fight and Kenta is all too eager to comply. Other whisper in his ears. Telling him who to attack, who can give him the best fight. Where to train. What to do. How to win.

And if Kenta can't make it? Other will take over. He will mope the floor with weaklings' asses like annoying herbivore they are.

Herbivore. That's what Other call weaklings and idiots are. Kenta like how it sounds. Idiot Herbivore. It rythme. The stong are Carnivore, like Lion, like Tiger. Omnivore isn't weak, but not very strong. They, however, is interesting to keep around. Omnivore has promise. Talent waiting to bloom.

Too bad, keeping interesting people mean forming a gang. An organization. And forming an organization means paperwork. Kenta hates paperpwork. The second he saw forms and files on his designated desk, he has half mind to disband the groups, if not for Other interferre.

Don't. Keep. Other whispered. Group. Strong. Packmates. Potential.

Paperwork, whines Kenta.

Worth it. Stability. Order. Competence.

Kenta was sold at Competence.

If there's one thing he hate the most, it's incompetence.

Tou-san died and Kaa-san almost due because so-called Heroes' incompetence. He refused to be as bad as them. He is not incompetent lazy slobs. He is strong. He is smart. He can and he will protect his men, his territory, his town.

His. His his his his his. His to protect. His to control. His to troll—ahem, Terrorize. HIS.

It helps that Other notice it when people tried to scam him, and take over before ripping those lying herbivores a new ones. Both in speech and very literal beat downs. Try to pull fast one on him, huh? HA! Enjoy your stay in hospital, bastards!

The Polices and Heroes can suck on it. They are jealous Kenta is much better and much much much more competent protector than they ever be. The townspeople are both terrified and adores him.

Those pathetic Herbivore's expression when the granny gave Kenta respectful smile and warm handwave was totally oh so worth it. Kenta has full album, for when he need good laugh.

His men clearly enjoys them too, and start to walking around with camera to record those prissy pantsy herbivores' expression.

And then Yangban strikes.

Five years. Five fucking Years.

That's how long those small-eye bitches keep him bound and on leash like some kind of mad dog. Confining him, trying to destroy his body and his spirit. A pathetic mangy mutt pounce and trying to reasserting dominance over True Alpha.

Had Kenta been anyone else, he would gave in. Either to Yangban or to Madness. But he isn't.

Because he is not alone.

Other is here with him. Other is protecting him.

When the pain become unbearable, when Kenta feeling hunger so bad it's painful, Other will take over and knock Kenta out cold. Other took the worst of beating, the worst of torture. Other would switch so often, giving Kenta time to relax and rest and when Kenta took back his body, he would still feel hurt and hungry, but not as bad as before.

Mental torture? Mastered? Ha! As if!

It may sounds pathetic for him, but Kenta feel assured because of Other.

Because Other made him immune to Mind Control.

Try as they might, they would never success. Other is strong. So damn powerful. He easily rebuffed weak attempt and if they persist? Why, Other will gave them the mental equivalent of All Out Beat Down. More often resulting in those Herbivores gone crazy or terrified the fuck out of their skull. As they should be!

Still... five fucking years.

His organization certainly had fallen without him taking control. Those idiots can't open Flea Market or something as simple as School Festival without Kenta patrols down and make sure things go smoothly.

Idiots.

Yangban was very interested in him. Anti-Master, they call him. They planned to break him, to use his mother against him, so he become their obedient attack dog.

Unforgivable. That was unforgivable. Kenta and Other are seething in anger.

They refuse. They refuse that fate. They REFUSE to become attack dog! They are not attack dog. Never, is not, will never be. They are their own boss. They do what they want and no one can control them. Certainly not crazy vultures or pathetic herbivores. Hell NO. They are Carnivores! Cream of the crop! Strongest of Strong! They refuse to become common mutt!

And so they shatter the shackle.

(A Cloud can never be Chained Down)

Yangban want to see what he is capable of, hm?

Then, allow Kenta to show them exactly what he's made of.

(The Yangban HQ go down in flames. The worst disaster recorded in their history. Hundreds of lives gone. Some delivered quick, short death, others suffer painful death. All in hand of their Prized Capture. Capes? Useless. Against raging young man with Tonfa on hand, their Cape might as well be feeble human.

You do not Fuck with Higashima Kenta and whoever his Other Self is)

Of course things is not that simple. Things never been simple.

(It was Fluffy Ominvore's fault his luck is this bad. Stupid baby Omnivore. Stupid Vongola.)

A woman in Fedora intercept him. (Reborn? No. weak. Cold. Machine. Human robot. Not Reborn. Not sun. Never sun. Impostor. Fake.) She attacks, and Kenta, high from adrenaline and fear, fought bay.

He lost. He lost badly.

The woman move as if she has manual. As if she already know the outcome and simply retrace the steps.

It infuriates Kenta. He was never been so humiliated. Not even that April Fool Prank and Pink Freaky Friday can compare to this humiliation he feel. The feeling as if he isn't worth it. Asif he was weak, worthless, pathetic waste. That he is BORING opponent you can defeat with eyes closed and one hand tied to back.

He hates it. He hates it. Oh how much he hates it.

Let me take over. Other whispered in his ear.

She underestimate us. She's mocking us. She have to pay. Kenta said.

And Pay she will. In BLOOD.

With wicked, bloodthisty grin, Kenta let Other take over his body. His "eyes" are wide open, memorizing all movement and words Other make. He let his mind connected to Other with no filter.

He want to know and he will learn.

Kenta is not dissappointed. Other fought back. He attack. Eyes glowing and hand burn purple fire. Pretty pretty powerful fire.

Fedora was taken back with sudden change. Thrown back several feets. Face black and blue and swollen. Coughing blood. Fedora stood and fight back. But his steps is all wrong. Confused yet arrogant.

She pay for it.

Other cackles. He fought back. Fedora's eyes widened in surprise whenever Other made sudden movement. As if he was actor who act out of script. A player who refuse to play with the rules. A Wild Child no one can control. And Fedora is not expecting that. The moment of surprise and hesitation is all Other need to plummenting her to the ground. Merciless, like how she humiliated Them.

Kenta was so damn proud!

Fedora Bitch leave. Bruised and battered with broken bones and open fractula in one leg.

Just to be safe, Other take control of body until They and Okaa-san safely reach Japan's shores.

"You are not Ken-kun, are you?" Okaa-san asked one evening.

"Hmm." Other replied. "I'm him and I'm not him. We are one and same, we are two and different."

"I see." Okaa-san said. "What should I call you?"

Kenta perked up.

He never once asked Other for name. Other is not talkative, except for isolation mental torture back in Yangban's HQ. And that was to protect Kenta's sanity.

"Kyoya." Other replied. "Call me Hibari Kyoya."

Leviathan attacks.

The Tsunami. Biggest of all he saw. Building brokes down. Debris swept away. People drown. Electricity cut off. Floating and drowned corpse. Destroyed land.

Death.

Crazy Daichi, silent Naoto, loyal Tetsuya, maniac Akashi, fucking heart-bleeding Yuu. Precious Takara. Sassy Mari. Flirty twins Eiko and Shuuichi. Rokuta and Sora and their stupid rivalry. Hana and her crazy obsessions. Baachans.

Leviathan attacks. Leviathan sunk Kyushu. Leviathan sunk THEIR City to the bottom of Ocean. Leviathan kills.

It destroy THEIR home, kills THEIR friend, take what was THEIRS.

It will pay.

It will pay.

It will pay.

It Wiil FUcking pAy.

Blood. For. Blood. Life. For. Life.

Kenta and Kyoya roared. Twin Rages. Double the loss. Double the hurt. Double the VENGEANCE. Two Soul as one. Burning Hatred set ablaze like Sun.

(Clouds are Territorial Creature. Their [Territory] is Sacred. You don't mess with a Cloud's [Territory]. Attacking, or God Forbid, destroying their [Territory] will set them on Cloud Rampage.)

By end of it, They fainted and Leviathan flees. Alive, but not wholefully intact.

The World trembles when they saw the Cloud Rampage.

You do NOT fucking with Cloud

You do NOT takes away a Cloud's Territory

USA. Brockton Bay.

A little harbour city justlikehishometown infested with gangs. A cesspit of despair and gloom and doom and sins.

One side owned by Empire88. Branch of Gesellchaft. Neo Nazi society. Lead by Allfather with successor either Iron Rain or Kaiser. Other side has Merchant's Archer Bridge. Disgusing druggie. One section was fighting back using disminished reputation and power of recenty birdcaged Marquis. Some his fellows Asian Refuuge also form their own gang with their own Cape. Then there's pathetic Protectorate with its precariously few Capes, Wards included.

Exactly what Kenta and Kyoya need to get out of their slump.

Seeing the city they choose randomly turns out to be like this... no. This won't do.

This city has Potential. This City is filled with Herbivores, yes, no avoiding that, but it has Omnivores and Carnivores and Small Animal. They would sooner damn themselves to Hell than let the precious potential to go down before it can grow.

Just like his men before Leviathan

They haven't been here for one week, before they approach PRT.

The second the staff saw WHO are they, he was "politely escorted" to an Isolated Room, just in case he gonna go berserk.

Amusing, Kyoya said.

Hillarious, Kenta agrees.

It wasn't long before he meet with Local Protectorates Member.

Armsmaster, a stiff man with no sense of humor, Miss Militia and her endless list of weaponry, Velocity the Speedster and recently graduates Ward. Only three? Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. The are A-Rank Threat, Potential S-Class Threat, and Protectorate can only afford THREE cape sends to meet him? No wonder this place is such a cesspool. The Protectorate are Overworked. Do they even receive compensations?

"Ryujin." Greeted Armsmaster.

Kenta and Kyoya smirked.

They never once picked a Cape name. Or mask. It was so silly and childish. They let the world pick it up for them. Only bother giving their input if they feel it was too crazy, childish, or plain terrible. Ryujin is popular choice due Their wrath and the fact he's Japanese.

Dragon God. A fitting name. Their Wrath is legendary and Dragon are possessive bastard, no?

"What do we owe this... visit?"

They smirked.

"We will Join." Said Kenta. "You had it bad. Resource mismanagement, grossly understaffed, too many immigrant but not enough job, too tied in Status Quo. Coward. We have plan to fix the city and YOU ALL will help Us, like it or not."

Their smirk scretched wider when the Capes twitched.

"And why," gritted Armsmaster, "we should listen to you?"

"Cause We have plan and if you don't, fine. We can create a Gang." Kenta tilted his head. A nostalgic expression crossed his face. "We still remember back before that Beast hit. Surely Our management skill haven't deteoriate much."

"And if we just throw you to birdcage?"

They give sharp toothy smirk. "You will let Us do Our thing. That Monster took Our Home, Our Territory, and this city is acceptable Replacement. And if you dare to take it away from Us?"

His smirk suddenly become thousand times more menacing.

"Wanna see how We send that Beast running?"

Shit, was the Protectorate's thought, pale faced. They can read the lines. Either they let Ryujin in or he form a gang, and if they press-ganged him, Ryujin will demonstrate his Rage on them.

No one want to piss off the "cape" who gogues two of Leviathan's eyes with his own bare hand.

"Then we'd like to welcome you." Miss Militia take over the conversation. "You said Us, who's the other one."

They jumped when Kenta's eyes suddenly turned purple. There's subtle shift in his posture, but it is here and they can feel it.

"Me." Kyoya answered. "Got problem, Omnivores?"

"Omni—who are you?" Velocity was ready to press M/S call button. "A Master?!"

Ryujin was Mastered?!

Kyoya snorted. He looks like about to laugh.

"Don't compare me to those two-bit hack, Cheetah-Omnivore." Velocity... has no idea what to responds. On one hand, it Cheetah is Carnivore but why he was called Cheetah-Omnivore, on other hand, Cheetah are fast, yes? Fastest animal. "Have you heard of Multiple Personality Disorder?"

It took them a moment to proceeds the sentence.

"Y... you... you were having Split Personality?!"

Kyouya and Kenta cackles at their horrified look.

Ahh... glorious trolling. How you are Missed.

And that's how Cauldron lose control over Brockton Bay. Because the residen Dragon refuseto be controlled in any shape or form, and Kyoya give middle finger on any hero pretense and any commands that "Unreasonably Stupid".

Armsmaster both hated him (Kyoya/Kenta took over his position with little work and yield better result and he's jealous of freedom They had) and admire him (BEST. Sparring. Partner. Ever.)

~Fin~

A/N: In Which Hibari Kyoya not-quite reincarnated into Kenta and he blames one Sawada Tsunayoshi for his predicatement. That Omnivore-sometimes-Carnivore's Crazy Luck rubbing off on him. Blasted Vongola Luck.

Kenta NEVER Trigger into Lung. Oh, He HAS Escalation Shard, had gone through three Trigger-worthy conflict. Yangban, Contessa, Leviathan. But he did not trigger. The reason? Kyoya.

At Yangban, Kyoya and Kenta switched control every so often that torture fell short. Coupled with Kyoya hate Mist and Master might as well be Mist, Kenta can't, would never, broke under their hand. At most he was increasedly pissed off.

In Canon, Contessa defeat Kenta. Here, once Kyoya take reigns, he beat Contessa. Why Contessa lost? Because Path to Victory didn't predict "Kenta" will stood up again, or gained Superpower without Trigger Event. The Second Wind baffles even PtV that it throw whatever Plan it can grasp. Too bad Kyoya had experience with Hyper Dying Will Mode! Tsuna and Byakuran with his Paralel World Knowledge.

Leviathan is where Kenta is VERY close to triggering. He lost His home, His friends, His people. His Territory. He was hair width away from Triggering, except that he was not the only one who grieved. Kyoya is grieving over his Second Loss of Territory and enrages, which flamed Kenta's Rage and resulting in Double Cloud Rampage.

The poor world is never same again.
