Chapter 1

Tsuna, Gokudera, and Yamamoto had begun to eat their lunches on the schools roof as they did everyday. This day was different, Yamamoto's old man had made each of them a custom lunch of sushi rather then they bring their own. The only 'this' was there was one extra, why Yamamoto wasn't sure but it wasn't as though he couldn't find someone to give it to, he just didn't know who he'd want to receive it. It was relatively a quiet yet breezy day.

"Yamamoto this is really delicious" Tsuna said taking a bite of another piece of sushi.

"Haha thanks Tsuna, I'll tell my old man you like it." Yamamoto straightened his legs out as leaded back to look up at the sky. In the corner of his eye he saw something yellow that caught his attention. Being a natural born hitman as Reborn would say he noticed this.

"Isn't that a yellow balloon?"

Gokudera and Tsuna looked up, and then sweat dropped.

"What are you stupid? Does that look like a balloon to you?" Gokudera said seeing what Yamamoto saw. Rather than a balloon it was Hibird flying around. Tsuna gave a weary smile, only Yamamoto would think Hibird was a balloon.

"I wonder what it is doing here." Tsuna asked.

"It's probably looking for Hibari. Che only he could get a bird to sing the Nanimori's school song." Gakudera returned to eating, not paying anymore attention to the bird. Yamamoto on the other hand got up and motioned for the bird to come. Hibird looked down at Yamamoto and landed on his finger.

"Hibari, Hibari"

"Ah so you're looking for Hibari neh Hibird? Do you want a bite first?"

"Idiot, birds don't eat sushi."

Yamamoto reached for a piece of salmon roll and held it close to Hibird. Surprisingly Hibird peaked at a few grains of rice. "Hey look he likes it." Yamamoto grinned. After a few more peaks Hibird stopped and looked at Yamamoto.

"Takeshi, Takeshi"

"Cool, he knows my name. Isn't that awesome Tsuna?"

"Yeah that's great Yamamoto." Tsuna said but wasn't sure if Hibird knowing Yamamoto's name was fully a good thing especially if it had any connection to Hibari. Yamamoto finished off the slightly eaten sushi and was about to leave to help Hibird find Hibari but remembered about the extra bento box and took it along. 'No sense it wasting food, Hibari must get hungry too right'

"I'll see you guys later." Yamamoto waved as he walked into the school, down the stairs, through the halls and into the Disciplinary Committee's room.

"Hibari are you here?" Yamamoto looked around to see Hibari asleep on the couch. Hibird seeing Hibari immediately began to speak.

"Hibari, Hibari."

"Shhh"

Yamamoto held a finger to his lips and shushed Hibird as to not wake up the dangerous sleeping lion…I mean Hibari. Yamamoto watched Hibari for a moment. 'Heh who knew when he's asleep he looks so gentle.'

Careful as to not wake him up, Yamamoto placed the bento box down on the table next to his sleeping form along with Hibird who looked at him.

"Don't wake him up ok, Tsuna told me what happened to him at the hospital when he woke Hibari up by accident and I have baseball practice later." He whispered.

Yamamoto was about to leave when he remembered a cracker he had in his pocket. He took it out, opened it, and crushed it in his hand before placing it down in a pile in front of Hibird. Yamamoto threw the wrapper away in the garbage can and was about to walk quietly out of the room when…

"Yamamoto Takeshi"

Yamamoto stiffened at the sound. 'Shit I woke him up'

The sound of the wrapper hitting the bottom of the garbage actually woke him up. Yamamoto had remembered the time Tsuna was in the hospital and him saying that even the falling of a leaf could wake Hibari up but Yamamoto always thought that was a joke. Especially when Hibari mentioned the 'game' he was going to play with Tsuna.

Yamamoto turned around and put on a smile toward Hibari. "Eh sorry about that Hibari, I was just bringing the little guy here. He was searching for you."

Hibari looked at Hibird which flew up to his head and nestled into his hair. Hibari looked at the bento placed on the table next to him. Hibird chirped "Takeshi, Takeshi"

"Well I've got to go now, Bye Hibari." Yamamoto was just about to leave when Hibari got up. His movement made Yamamoto stop and look back again.

"I hate being in dept."

Yamamoto smiled.

"What are you talking about?" Yamamoto always wanted a chance to use this line against Hibari, he remembered the time during the fight for the rings when he asked if Hibari was alright after losing balance against the school's wall and replying the same line.

Hibari looked at him knowing where the line came from and smirked. "If you're late for class, I'll bite you to death."

Ten Years Later Era

Yamamoto looked up at saw Hibird soaring over the trees probably in search of Hibari. The bird still looked the same from ten years ago which surprised Yamamoto. He knew certain birds could live for years but Hibird literally looked the same after so long. Well at least from comparison to him. He had grown taller and gotten older. Even after ten years of perfecting his sword and even looking older and manlier, he always kept that obliviousness that made him Yamamoto.

Yamamoto whistled to catch Hibird's attention. Times such as this, it was too dangerous to call out the bird's name. Yamamoto was always careful as to not attract attention from the enemy; he would rather not fight if he could avoid it.

Hibird descended onto Yamamoto's finger. "Takeshi, Takeshi."

"Are you looking for Hibari?"

"No, No"

"You know where he is?"

"Takeshi. Follow." Hibird flew up into the air and started to fly away. Yamamoto followed him as he headed toward an traditional Japanese house. Inside Hibari was sitting on a mat with his eyes closed. He wore his suit with his purple inner button down shirt and a black tie. Hibird flew in closer and landed in his hair.

"Ah there you are, Hibird found me and brought me here." Yamamoto said walking closer to Hibari and sitting in front of him. It had actually been a while since Yamamoto saw Hibari since he was busy investigating more about the rings and boxes. The last time Yamamoto saw Hibari in person was probably two or three weeks ago. This was when Hibird had gotten stuck in stormy weather then was stumbled across by Yamamoto.

"Do you have any idea why?" Yamamoto looked at Hibari before looking at Hibird who watch him back in content.

"No"

Yamamoto out reached his hand toward Hibird who jumped out of Hibari's hair to land on his finger. Hibari opened his eyes to see Yamamoto's hand close, he usually could tell when people where getting to close to him but Yamamoto was always hard to detect. Even back then during the fight for the rings when Yamamoto had stood in front of Hibari to try and calm him down, his movements to avoid being struck by Hibari's tonfa surprised him. Annoyed him too but he was surprised.

"Heh look Hibari, he actually came over to me." Yamamoto smiled, Hibird had always had affection toward Hibari and usually would stay by Hibari's side only unless it was to make fun of Gokudera or go on a mission.

"Maybe he likes me more" Yamamoto said it jokingly but knew that if Hibari didn't also find it as a joke he'd be in trouble.

Hibari just stared at him and Hibird, something inside of him stirred but he couldn't put a finger on why. It wasn't a bad feeling either.

"Did you forget already?" Yamamoto looked puzzled.

"Herbivores like you can't be trusted." Hibari said, his voice showed annoyance, but more of his being pissed off. Yamamoto then realized what today was.

"Oh ah heh heh sorry Hibari, it just slipped my mind." Yamamoto looked at his watch. "I'm only half an hour late, it's not that bad right?"

"Yamamoto Takeshi, you are late." Hibari stood up and pulled out his tonfas "I'll bite you to death."

'Oh no I messed up this one' Yamamoto stood up quickly and dodged a hit and swiftly dodged the second attack as well. Another two attacks were dodged and the patter continued until Hibari unleashed the secret compartment inside of his tonfa's which had his chain. He swung the chain which caught hold of Yamamoto's arm. Hibari pulled and Yamamoto went flying toward him landing on the floor of Hibari's feet. His back hitting the ground rather roughly

Hibari bent down and looked at Yamamoto. He was flat on the ground and stared right back. Yamamoto grinned.

"Ok ok you win I give up." Yamamoto laughed. Hibari frowned and stood up straight, turned around and started walking away. Hibird flew toward him and landed in his hair comfortably. Hibari stood outside at looked up at the clear sky. Yamamoto had pushed himself off the floor and followed. He moved closer and wrapped his arms around Hibari's chest holding him close. He placed his head on Hibar's shoulder and closed his eyes.

"Sorry I forgot, Happy Birthday."
