Running Scared

Disclaimer: I do not own Katekyo Hitman Reborn, I only borrowed the characters and added a little of my own plot.

This is unbeta-ed and criticism is welcome.

Note: In this story Hibari was never a part of the guardians and grew up to become a loan shark and owns a very large loan company. Tsuna went through all the normal events but with only five guardians. This story is set nine years in the future making Tsuna 23 and I have made Hibari 25. The Vongola Hunt occurred when Tsuna was 20. Hope you enjoy my new story!

Tsuna's P.O.V

My heart was racing and my lungs ached from overexertion. But I couldn't stop. They were going to catch me. He was going to catch me. He always caught me. His purple eyes and sickly sweet smile filled my mind. Fear drove my tired legs further. I was no longer aware of where I was or my destination, I just knew I had to get away. The pouring rain pelted against my body as I continued to run blindly. My pace started to slow as the ground beneath my paws changed from dirt to concrete. I must be in a city my exhausted mind registered. My damp brown fur was weighing me down as I entered an alley. I had been running for so long, my worn body couldn't take anymore. I lay down with an unceremonious thump. I'll just rest for a bit… And my amber eyes slowly shut as I fell into black.

Hibari's P.O.V

The sun had just set and a calming silence had enveloped the town. The bombarding rain that had poured all day had finally dwindled to a sprinkle. Hibari inwardly sighed as he walked to his apartment, today had been another long day at work. He had been in Italy for a month on business and was glad that in a few days he would be back in his Namimori. He walked passed an alley when he spotted a fairly large lump. He was about to walk away when he saw the lump move and whine. Curious he approached the mysterious lump. As he got closer he realized it was a brown wolf. Why would a wolf be in the city? Its fur was soaked and it looked exhausted. Hibari reached down to see if it was breathing and as soon as he touched it its eyes snapped open. The wolf jumped away from Hibari and growled menacingly. Hibari was unfazed as he closely inspected the animal. He was surprised by the color of its eyes, which were a clear amber color. Most wolves had dark brown or black eyes. Interesting. Its limbs were trembling from the supporting its own weight and its eyes were glazed over. Like a cornered animal it bares its fangs Hibari smirked to himself. He took a step towards the growling animal and gently put his hand on its head. Its eyes widened in fear as it attempted to move away but failed when its legs gave out. Its pleading eyes looked up into Hibari's steely purple eyes before closing as if asking for mercy. Then the animal did something Hibari never expected, it turned into a young human boy. The boy was unconscious and naked. Vivid scars adorned his pale skin and his thin physique made the boy look sickly. He had a head full of messy brown hair and on top of his head were brown wolf ears. Hibari looked down on the boy and sighed, "Well this is troublesome." The dark haired man picked up the boy and walked toward his apartment. Upon entering the apartment he placed the boy on a leather couch and threw a blanket on him. Exhausted himself, Hibari thought it best to get a little rest before the boy woke up.

Tsuna's P.O.V

Tsuna's bleary eyes cracked open. His mind was foggy and he couldn't remember much. He remembered running away from Byakuran, rain...then… there was a man! Tsuna gasped to himself. Was he one of Byakuran's men?! Where am I?! Tsuna's eyes shot fully open as he looked around on full alert. He spotted a yawning man who just entered the room. He had ebony black hair and cold deep purple eyes that were closer to black. His was adorned in a casual suit with a purple tie. The man looked to Tsuna with a bored expression and observed, "Oh, you finally woke up." Tsuna scrambled away from the man only to find himself tangled in a blanket on the floor. Just my luck! Tsuna thought exasperatedly. The man approached him and crouched down to his level and looked him over before speaking, "Mind telling me what you are?" Tsuna was shocked by the question. Is this guy insane? Why is he trying to communicate with my wolf form…wait…I'm in my human form!?!? When did this happen? He quickly looked over himself to realize that he was in fact in his human form and also that he was stark naked. He quickly covered himself further with the blanket before he looked to the man to see his cold eyes shaded in confusion. Wait… if this man doesn't know what I am…then he probably doesn't know Byakuran.

"Who are you?! Do you work for Byakuran?! Where am I?!" blurted Tsuna before quickly covering his mouth.

The other mans brow furrowed in clear annoyance before simply stating, "So noisy."

Tsuna was deadpanned. What is wrong with this man?

After a long silence the other man stated "My name is Hibari Kyouya and I found you in an alley. So I brought you to my apartment…. And I don't know who this Byakuran person you are talking about is. Now who are YOU, you annoying herbivore?"

Tsuna gulped and stammered, "Umm…..I'm Sawada Tsunayoushi, but people call me Tsuna."

Hibari's glare deepened, "Well Tsunayoushi, answer me this. WHAT are you?"

Tsuna trembled. Oh no…if he finds out he'll do terrible things. He looks really scary…but he hasn't hurt me yet and I have no where else to go. So...

"Umm…I was human …once… but I got caught up in some bad things so now I'm half wolf. I ran away from some bad people…that's why I was in the alley. And now I have no where to go."Tsuna stuttered out quickly, his ears drooped down.

Hibari eyes had widened slightly in shock but quickly turned back to normal as he stared at the boy. He seemed to be deliberating something, "So you're saying that you have no where to go now because you ran away fro your home?"

Tsuna shuttered at the thought of his old "home" before nodding vigorously.

"Well then you can be my pet." Hibari stated.

Tsuna was shocked, "P-p-pet!?"

"Yes. I will give you a home, in return you will be my pet."

Tsuna thought about it. I don't want to be a pet again but I have no where else to go. And no one would hire a freak with ears. And my family….

Screams echoed around him. "Boss we need backup the Millfiore are invading! They have already broken through the first and second defense. Oh no they broke through the third defen-"

Blood surrounded him as all those he held dear lie on the ground, dead. He was shivering as he looked up to meet the cruel eyes of the smiling leader of the Millifiore. The leader smiled as he ordered his subordinates to capture him. After his capture the pain was unbearable. His soul cried for his family as his body broke under the experiments and training. He still remembers the cold purple eyes that would stare at him before Byakuran would purr through his jester like smile,

"Hey Tsu-chan… Isn't it fun being my pet."

Tsuna shook the memories from his mind. They were too horrible. He couldn't go back. He didn't want to go back ever. It hurt too much. He would much rather be Hibari-san's pet then go back to Byakuran. He would do anything if it meant never going back to the Millifiore.

Tsuna looked at Hibari, his amber eyes hardened with new found resolve, "Hibari-san I will be your pet."
