"Namimori..." chirped the tiny little yellow bird as it chirped more of the Namimori Middle School anthem. It flew up through the air, beating it's tiny little wings, then landed softly on the shoulder of an ebony haired teen. He glanced over his shoulder at the bird, and then smiled softly, continuing to walk away from his beloved school. As he briskly walked away, he stopped, glancing back to make sure his school was still intact, then turned to continue walking, but stopped, quickly glancing back at the school to confirm what he'd seen from the corner of his eye.
He frowned, confirming that he wasn't seeing things, and then lightly jogged back towards the school, opening the gate and running through the building up to the roof. Once he'd arrived on the roof, he opened the door and peered around, but there was no one in sight. His frown increased, wondering if he had really been imagining things. So he walked around on the roof for a little, double checking, but found nothing, so he began his exit of the school.
"I'm home..." the ebony haired teen called out as he opened the front door, closing it behind him. He admired the beautiful stained glass artwork on the door, and then turned, noticing the little bird had flown off his shoulder and was heading to the kitchen.
"Hibari! Hibari!" called out the little bird, trying to get his attention. He smiled softly to himself, the scent of food filling the house. He trudged down the passage way, entering the kitchen to see a woman with ebony hair, tied in a loose braid at the back, chopping up some vegetables on the kitchen counter. She had her back turned to Hibari, but she knew he was there.
"Welcome home Hibari-kun, Hibird. How was school?" she asked, stopping and turning to look at Hibari, her grey eyes locking onto his identical ones. Hibari smirked down at the ground, and then walked past her to the dining room table.
"Boring... all those damn herbivores..." he replied and she chuckled at him, and then turned to continue chopping vegies. Hibird flew from the woman's shoulder, landing back on Hibari's shoulder, and then chirped quietly into his ear, looking at him curiously as it tilted its head cutely. Hibari smiled softly, raising a hand and gently patting it on the head. His mind kept floating back to what he'd seen on the roof top. Had he imagined it? Maybe he'd have to question that herbivore about it? He usually knew what was going on, and it normally involved him too, especially when it threatened his precious Namimori. He sighed gently, seeing the woman walk in, placing a few plates of food on the table.
"Eat up Hibari-kun!" she urged and Hibari smiled half heartedly, then grabbed some of the food and began eating it.
"Thank you for the food Mother" he stated and continued eating. His mother froze in slight shock, and then beamed a smile. She stood, leaving her son to be by himself, and then exited the house, heading to do some shopping.
"I'd better ask that damn herbivore..." Hibari stated to himself as he stood from the table, exiting the house and locking it up, then turned and began walking to the Sawada residence. Hibird rested on his shoulder, looking around. Eventually he made his way to the Sawada residence, and rang the door bell.
"Coming!" yelled a familiar voice as the door opened and a brunette haired teen stood in front of him. He smiled welcomingly but when he opened his eyes and saw Hibari, his expression went to one of utter horror. He let out a loud shriek of terror, stepping back, preparing for the worst.
"H-Hibari-san! W-What can I do for you?" he asked loudly, stuttering very loudly and still using a lot of polite, formal language when addressing him. Hibari frowned in disapproval.
"I wish to talk to the baby..." he stated and the teen stuttered in shock, and then turned, running inside to find the baby as Hibari casually strolled in.
"Hibari-san is here to see you Reborn!" he heard the teen say as he entered the room to see the teen, the baby Reborn, an ebony haired teen and a silver haired teen sitting in the room. The silver haired teen didn't like his presence in the room one bit.
"Hibari! You bastard! What're you doing at the Tenth's house!" he yelled, however Hibari shrugged him off, ignoring him completely, and turned to look at Reborn.
"G-Gokudera-kun! Please calm down!" pleaded the brown haired teen and the silver haired teen, Gokudera, pouted to himself. The ebony haired teen chuckled to himself.
"You tell him Tsuna!" he cheered and Tsuna looked at him awkwardly at him. Gokudera didn't approve.
"Shut it Yamamoto!" he cursed at him and Yamamoto laughed in response. Hibari watched them from the glare in the corner of his eye, realising he would never understand them.
"Didn't you want to talk to me Hibari?" asked Reborn and Hibari blinked down at him. He smiled a little, liking the baby's intellect.
"Infant... something strange is happening in Namimori, and if anyone is likely to know, it'd be you..." he stated and Reborn frowned. Hibari knew that face well.
"So you don't know? Guess I'll have to find the source and take it out myself, if it's not related to you and strengthening this herbivore up..." stated Hibari as he turned to leave.
"Wait, Hibari!" called out Reborn and he stopped, turning back to look at the infant.
"Give me one night, if I don't report back to you that it's with us, and then you can find it and take it out. It may be someone we know that wants it to be a surprise or it may be involved with us and we just don't know about it..." pleaded Reborn and Hibari nodded softly, seeing Reborn smile, then turned, leaving the house.
"D-Did Hibari-san just leave?" asked Tsuna and Reborn nodded, taking another sip of his tea.
"What did he want Reborn-san?" asked Gokudera and Reborn shrugged his shoulders.
"Who knows..." he muttered, making Tsuna face-plant. As Gokudera and Yamamoto fussed over Tsuna, Reborn looked out the window, frowning as he saw something, then stood, disappearing from inside the house.
"How long do you intent to follow Hibari around?" Reborn asked as a teen with long blonde hair stepped out from the shadows of the street.
"Impressive Reborn, even Hibari is impressive... but I must ask... how do you know I'm not an enemy?" asked the blonde and Reborn smirked.
"I don't sense any hostile intent, you're here for observation, am I correct?" he asked and she chuckled to herself.
"You're quick to catch on Reborn. I've been sent by the Ninth to observe the Tenth's family, so you'll see Namimori's newest transfer student. I look forward to working with you" she stated, then jumped up the wall and disappeared into the shadows while Reborn watched her leave.
"I hope you know what you're in for, Lillian..." he stated, the night turning darker as the moon hid behind the clouds.
