1 is on top!

The birds twittered as they flew trough the orange sky.

*clang*

The school almost empty, as most of the students already went home.

*clang*

Yamamoto Takeshi stood alone in the middle of Namichuu's sport ground.

*clang*

After particle, he decided to stay behind for some more training. At fist some of his teammates joined him, but as they continued, they all left one by one, all to tired to keep up with their ace.

*clang*

Yamamoto reached for another ball, but as he rummaged in the basket by his side, he couldn't seem to find one. "…?"

Taking more time than he expected, he looked into the basket and as he feared, found none left.

He turned around and looked at the ground full of balls and the raised his eyes to the sky, an orange-reddish sky that signaled the end of the day.

He sighed as he lifted his hat and wiped off his sweat. "Guess that's it for today."

Yamamoto jogged to the bench where he left his bag. After rummaging in it for a bit, he triumphantly took out his water bottle.

When he bought the bottle to his mouth and squeezed, only a few drops of water fell, barely wetting his lips.

Yamamoto sighed in discomfort upon finding his bottle empty.

"Well it can't be helped, I'll just wrap up quickly and go drink at the standpipe."

As he turned around, something was at his feet. "!"

He lowered his eyes and recognized the small figure, "Lambo?"

The child was standing at his feet, staring up to him with lost eyes and an almost dumb face while he rested his index on his chin and droll fell down from his mouth.

"What's wrong? Why are you still here?" asked the boy as he bent down to pat the child's hair.

"Ah-!" as if he had just woken up, his eyes regained life "You know- That stupid Dame-Tsuna forgot his book at school! And the very kind Lambo-san decided to come too!" he puffed his chest out in pride.

"Oh wasn't that great of you." he ruffled the child's hair as he praised him.

"Gyahahaha!"

When Yamamoto let go, Lambo was still giggling, amused.

"Say say, you thirsty?" asked the child after he saw Yamamoto wiping away his sweat from his forehead.

"Hm? Yeah, I'm thirsty. But I finished my bottle earlier so I'll go drink when I finishing here."

"Hmph!" Lambo put both of his hands on his head, and started to rummage trough his afro-head.

Yamamoto stared at him for a few minutes, unsure of what the child was plotting. But he waited patiently for the child to find whatever he was looking for, nonetheless.

"Here!" Lambo held a bottle of some sort "Since Lambo-san is so kind, Lambo-san will give this to you!"

Yamamoto looked at the bottle with suspicious eyes, after all he knew that nothing good came out of the child's hair, but still, he took it.

He examined its color and smelled it. "It seems…water?"

"Yep! Now drink! Lambo-san is going home. Bye!" as soon as he announced so, he run off.

"Hey! Will you be fine on your own?" shouted Yamamoto after the small figure that was running away.

After the child turned around and waved at him, Yamamoto decided to let him be.

He looked once more at the bottle. It was water, no matter what or how you looked at it, however, Yamamoto couldn't stop that funny sensation in his guts that told him that something was off.

"Well, whatever." after all is throat was too dry for him to ponder any longer about it.

He took one last look at the seemly harmless liquid before gulping it all down, emptying the bottle.

"Puha! That felt good! I better thank Lambo next time I see him."

After throwing the bottle in his bag, Yamamoto grabbed the basket and ran towards the balls he hit earlier, in order to pick them all up and finally go home.

"I'd better hurry, otherwise Hibari'll bite me to death and kick me out!"

He dashed forward with a wide smile on his face, still not knowing what awaited him.

Thank you very much for reading.
I'll update one chapter each day till Hibari's birthday.
