Please enjoy to the extreme!

Will He Bite Me To Death?

Chapter 1: Vandals

Was it just me or did it feel as if someone or something were watching me?

I scanned the empty streets ahead of me, pressing my book bag a little more closer to my chest. For a week now, I've had to deal with this constant fear and anxiety, too afraid to walk a slow and steady pace like I usually did, in fear that a shadow would come up and jump me from behind. Sure, Gokudera had eagerly offered to assist me home during the past few days, but I had hastily declined. I didn't want Gokudera worrying over me too much, it sometimes felt a bit odd when he went into that "Protect-the-Juudaime" mode. Plus, I didn't want him getting hurt trying to protect me, like he usually did. Just thinking about the injuries he had sustained way back during the Ring Battles was enough to reassure me that he would practically do anything to protect the 10th, me.

"Arghhh! This is starting to really scare me!" I cried out, ruffling my fingers through my spiky brown hair. Since obtaining the rings, Reborn had warned me that danger was sure to follow my every move. I was the 10th Vongola Boss, with Guardian Rings to boot. How could that not spell out danger?

"Mm," I mumbled, pressing my body to the grainy surface of a nearby wall. I hadn't even bothered to tell Reborn that everyday I was walking home scared stiff. It's not that I didn't want to, it's just that I kept on forgetting to tell him, and whenever I did remember, he was always sleeping.

I edged along the concrete wall, wincing as the stone chafed against my back- it was better than standing in the middle of the street though, at least with the wall I could somehow shelter myself from any surprise attacks.

"Stupid rings, stupid mafia," I cursed under my breath. I had already told Reborn so many times that I didn't even want to become the 10th Vongola Mafia boss, but he never listened to me, actually, it seems that no one ever listens to me anymore- and I'm their boss! So lost in my musings, I was completely thrown back when something yellow and fluffy whizzed right across my face.

"Hiii!!" I gasped, dropping my book bag and smacking my back alongside the wall. I looked up in fright and let out a sigh of relief as soon as I saw the fluffy thing.

"Hibird?" I called up to it, furrowing an eyebrow. What was Hibird doing here, shouldn't he be with Hibari?

"Hibari-san, Hibari-san!" It squeaked in a high pitched voice, flapping it's little wings up and down. I brought my hand to my head and began rubbing at my hair, too jostled to do anything else. People would laugh if they knew that I nearly died of fright because of a darn bird. I sighed and bent down to pick up my bag, all the while feeling embarrassed and glad at the same time for the streets being empty.

"I'm…going to go now," I said rather awkwardly, giving a chaste smile to the fluffy bird still flapping its wings amidst the air. Slapping my bag to my chest, I speed-walked it right out of there, eager to get home and prevent myself from getting scared by cute things, like Hibird for example. I hung my head in shame, a tear escaping the corner of my left eye. How embarrassing.

"Bye Mom…Bianchi, Lambo, I-Pin, Fuuta, Reborn!" I shouted quickly, slapping my book-bag to my side and catching a stealthy run as I made my way out the gate. In no time at all, a ferocious shout from behind me caused me to halt in my tracks as I waited inevitably for a flurry of greetings that was sure to come.

"Juudaime!" Gokudera yelled with all his might, his voice ragged and breathless. I turned around and gave him a nervous stare, my body tense and prepared to handle anything unorthodox that always seemed to follow the ever pumped Storm Guardian.

Green eyes wide and joyful, Gokudera halted a foot in front of me, his silver hair askew and his clothes all sketchy and misplaced.

"Juudaime! Good morning!" he chirped, ruffling a hand through his messy white hair.

"Ah…good morning, Gokudera-kun," I said through a smile, my nerves still on edge. Was it just me or did the atmosphere all of sudden turn dark and menacing? I pried my eyes away from Gokudera, scanning the streets ahead of me. No, it wasn't just me, something sure didn't feel right.

Gokudera must have been silently watching me, for he immediately asked in a worried voice, "Juudaime, is something wrong? What did Yamamoto do?"

I snapped my head back to reality and turned to look at him, giving him a weary smile. There was no doubt that he would go blaming Yamamoto for every little thing that seemed to upset me in someway or form. I furrowed my brow and bit my lip- I could still feel that prickling aura swirling in the air, the one that always seemed to follow me home from school.

"I don't mean to be offensive, but since yesterday, you seemed to be a little…off," Gokudera said shakily, his brow furrowing.

'You just barely noticed yesterday?' I thought aghast. "Um, no, it's alright Gokudera-kun, nothing's wrong. Let's just hurry and get to school, okay?"

Immediately, as if a whole new person had been reborn, Gokudera shook that worried look off his face and replaced it with a bright and cheerful smile.

"Of course, Juudaime! We should hurry, or else you'll be late!" he exclaimed, slapping a hefty hand to the curve of my back. I choked on my spit and nearly fell to the concrete floor, but I sucked it up and pulled off a smile anyway.

"To school!"

"Hm, it seems like we weren't going to be late after all, Juudaime!"

I stared at Gokudera as if he had just grown a second head (I wouldn't be surprised, considering that mass of hair currently growing atop his cranium). We had practically sprinted like hell trying to get to school on time, and here he is, telling me that we have at least 20 minutes until the bell rang.

"That's nice to know Gokudera-kun," I said feebly, closing my eyes in exasperation.

"Ah, Juudaime, I almost forgot! Do you mind if I go on ahead? I have to look at my test score from that exam we took two days ago, is that alright with you, Juudaime?" Gokudera asked, a worried look to his eyes.

'Why do you have to ask me?' I thought, shaking my head. "Of course, Gokudera-kun, I'll meet you in class." With one final wave, Gokudera took off in a flurry, book-bag flapping behind him. Trust him to give into his nerdy antics, he was ingeniously smart after all.

I sighed and ran a hand through my spiky hair, fingernails scratching into the scalp. What was I supposed to do now, what with 20 minutes of free time on my hands? I guess I could spend my time haplessly wandering the school grounds until the bell rang, at least it was something to do. I scanned the expanse of school, eyes searching for that familiar tall and carefree person who also happened to be apart of my Vongola Famgilia and my Rain Guardian. I sure wished Yamamoto was here with me right now, at least then I wouldn't be alone to roam about the school like an idiot. But he usually didn't arrive to school so early, did he?

Walking at an easy and slow pace, I took the time to actually survey the things around me…and settle my eyes upon some vandalization.

Ahead of me, a boy was leaning forward towards one of the school walls, a silver spray can in his hand. A spray of red shot forth from the spray can, permanently blotching the surface of Namimori's school walls. As I neared him, I debated on whether or not I should just turn around and high tail it out of there, but as usual to my fussing, I couldn't make my mind up in time.

Barely a few feet from him, I heard him whisper, "Serves him right for beating up my guys." Tweaking an eye and piquing my head, I stared up at the offensive mural that he was currently completing. Etched into the wall, in bold, red letters, read,

HIBARI SUCKS.

"Hiii!" I screamed, my arms flailing in the air. At this, the boy spun around and ogled me with wide eyes. However, that momentum of shock quickly vanished from off his face, only to be replaced by an irritated glare.

"You're gonna' get me caught, idiot!" he hissed, pointing the spray can at me. I backed away, shaking my head and holding my arms out in front of me. He then muttered a few curse words from under his breath and took a few steps towards me.

"Your problem now," he spat, and shoved the spray can into my awaiting arms. I gripped the metallic spray can within the palm of my hand, my fingers clenching around it. What? What was I supposed to do with this?!

"Ah! No, what?!" I sputtered to myself, my head looking from the spray can in my hand to the offensive words on the wall. And then the impossible happened, actually, the most dreaded- something that made my body stiffen with fear and trepidation.

That aura.

It swiveled about the air like a cloud of suffocation, rendering my muscles inactive and causing the insides of my stomach to grumble and churn as if I were about to vomit. I opened my mouth in a silent scream. Had my vocal chords also been rendered silent?

"Herbivore, what are you doing just standing there?"

"Ack!" I screamed, the spray can nearly slipping past my now sweating fingers. Why was I still holding it anyway?

"Up here."

With hesitation, I slowly looked up, nearly gasping to death.

"Hibari-san!"

The Cloud Guardian was sitting leisurely in the rickety limbs of a nearby tree, his legs dangling carelessly about in the air. Hibird was chirping from its place nestled atop Hibari's head, fluttering its yellow wings. I gulped from where I stood, staring up at him with a mix of mortification and awe.

'Why's he in a tree?!' I screamed within my mind which was currently working on hyper-mode. In the next instant, he gracefully lunged from the tree, landing elegantly on the grass before me. The uniform jacket around his shoulders was swaying in the now noticeable breeze, the fabric flapping madly against the wind. His polished black hair was in its usual place surrounding his chiseled face, a few stray strands dropping down over his eyes. His eyes were as slanted as ever, seemingly staring at me with a permanent glare. I shivered at the look he was giving me, it never seemed to fail.

"Sawada Tsunayoshi, you're contaminating the school grounds by just standing there in the same spot, please move or you will be forced," Hibari said all this in such a cool and icy demeanor, that I actually jumped back. With that movement, his eyes seemed to zero in on the spray can grasped firmly within my hand. His eyes looked from the spray can to my face in a questioning manner, slanting even more as suspicion clouded his eyes.

"Herbivore, why are you...?"

I nearly screamed in sheer terror as his eyes ghosted over the offensive words painted on the wall behind me. For a moment, I thought maybe he wouldn't have noticed, but what a stupid thought that was. I watched as his eyebrows knitted together in utter fury, his eyes slanting to the extreme. How far could they go?

He snapped his head immediately towards me, a feral aura engulfing him. Out of fear, I dropped the spray can, where it thumped harshly on the grass underneath my feet.

'Oh no, he's angry!' I thought hurriedly, panic starting to overwhelm me. He would hear me out, right? He wouldn't jump to conclusions so fast, right? If he didn't, then surely I was a goner.

"Hibari-san, please, hear me out!" I cried in a high pitched voice, my hands shaking as I held them out in front of me. "Please, I didn't do this, Hibari-sa--!!"

"Silence!" he hissed, the aura around him crackling. In a flash of silver, his tonfas were already out in front of him, his fingers grasped firmly around their steel handles. "Defiling my walls and slandering my name, Sawada, as Namimori Disciplinary Committee Chairman, I cannot forgive this. Prepare to be bitten to death!"

"Hiiii!!" I cried out in absolute terror, my body wracking in fear. This wasn't how I wanted it to end, not by the hands of one of my own Famgilia, especially Hibari's. How long would it take him to kill me? In a matter of seconds no doubt. I closed my eyes, awaiting the sting of death that Hibari was surely to give. A million things were floating about through my mind, questions, answers, regrets, anything that I could possibly think of as I stood in front of my murderer, who had yet to kill me?

I courageously opened one eye, biting my lip in apprehension.

"Eeek!" I squeaked. I was staring at the dead end of one of his tonfas, the steel coating flashing brightly against the sun. For a moment, it blinded me, but I quickly blinked my eyes to get rid of the blinding black spots.

Hibari was glaring at me, a glare so murderous that I could feel myself tearing apart under its lethal gaze. Why wouldn't he just hurry up and off me already, it would suit me better than having to wait and fear a slow and agonizing death.

"Ack!" I screamed as the cool surface of the tonfas pressed itself into the underside of my chin, lifting my head up in the process. Hibari's face leered before me, the close proximity causing me to flush in nervousness.

"Sawada Tsunayoshi, we will continue this later. I will not have a herbivore's blood coat the precious grounds of Namimori," he whispered venomously, pressing his tonfas deeper into the soft flesh of my throat. "If we continued any further, it would disrupt the peace."

"Ah, but, Hibari-san, please. I didn't do it!" I tried to explain, swallowing a wad of spit to will the words out smoothly. "I really didn't, you have to believe me! Hibari-san-- argh!"

This time, the tonfas nearly punctured the skin of my neck, sending me coughing and sputtering like a madman right in front of him. At this, Hibari drew back his tonfas and stepped away from me, resting his hands by his sides. Meanwhile, I was left to choke and sputter on the ground, body kneeled forward as I desperately tried to control myself again.

My face was flushed in embarrassment at the thought of having Hibari watch me as I nearly choked to death. Finally, once I regained my bearings, I stood up, wiping a trail of spit that had slobbered down the corner of my chin. I blushed and quickly wiped the saliva off on the side of my pants.

"When the final bell rings at the end of the day, be prepared to repent for your wicked deeds," Hibari growled, shifting his weight. Just then, Hibird came swooping in from somewhere unknown, perching itself atop Hibari's head. It chirped once or twice before Hibari silenced it, making sure not to graze the little bird with his tonfas.

"You will receive the ultimate biting," he concluded, and with that, he spun around and walked off towards the main entrance of the school. As I watched him round the corner and then all together disappear from sight, a great sigh of relief escaped my trembling lips. My whole body was shaking as I tried to keep my knees from buckling in.

'That was so scary!' I screamed within my mind, my fingers clutching at my hair until it hurt. 'Oh no! What am I going to do? I'll be bitten to death!'

I stalked my way over to a nearby wall, pressing my back against it as I tried to gather my wits. Hibari had almost killed me back there and I was still wondering why he hadn't gone through with it. Should I tell Gokudera or Yamamoto about my impending doom? Would they be able to help me fend off Hibari's attacks?

"No!!" I screamed, slamming my head into the wall. I didn't know what I was going to do when that final bell reared its ugly head at the end of the day, but I sure as hell won't stay around to find out.

"Why me?!"

Tsuna will be bitten to death next chapter, what to do?!
