Author's Note:

Another chapter was written. I forgot to mention in the previous chapter that I originally intended to write this story as Hibari Kyouya as the main character and the rest as support only. But I change it so that each of them will be the main cast rotated between them. Sounds fair now I guess. It weird if I title the story as Ackerman Family but write solely on Kyouya. I hope my Kyouya is not to OOC. Just to be certain, Kyouya in this story is named Kyouya Ackerman not Hibari Kyouya. I change it as he was adopted into the Ackerman family and he was not a Head of Discipline Committee but a normal student and library committee. To make them to have some familial traits, I made them to like books. Well, they look like they will love to read book in their free time anyway. I hope you like it. Most of the KHR! cast will make their appearances in this chapter.

Warning: I never thought of putting warning before but a few warning may be good anyway. Foul language, rude behavior and hint of M/M relationship. Hope I list them all. Forgive me if I miss some.

Chapter 2: A day in school like any other day.

'My day has been ruined and my default foul mood had become worsen after what had happened this morning. I really want to bite that stupid grin off from the fucking Haneuma face to death so badly. I'll do that when I meet him later. Tch, now that my tonfas was confiscated, I'll resort to my fist then. No, not fist. I'll break my own knuckle anyway. Maybe I'll fine some temporary replacement'

Flashback

"Hand me your tonfas. I gave them to you so that you could have something to defend yourself with other than trying to break your frail fist each time you want to punch someone. Until we finish with your teacher, I'll hold on them" order Kenny. Reluctantly, Kyouya hand over his tonfas to Kenny.

End of flashback

Kyouya walks to his school with a scowl permanently plastered on his face, not that he ever wore different expression but the dark aura that he releases today was more foul than usual. An Ackerman out to kill someone, it looks like' thought some of people that dodged from Kyouya path. Most from the neighborhood knows to not piss off an Ackerman at any cost if you love your life dearly. No one ever left unscathed if anyone dared to step that boundary. Ackerman's violence knows no boundary and very ruthless. Not that they onion's skin thickness of temper were any help anyway.

"Yo! Good morning…whoa! Hold your horses there, Kyouya. What with the miasma flowing out from you today? Waking up from the wrong side of your bed, again? Wait, you always wake up on the wrong side of your every morning," Kyouya just glared at the said person who dared to greet him so happily in his ruined morning. He eased up as he lays his eyes on the said person. There stood his childhood friend, Sasagawa Ryohei, not that he ever admitted it but they were together since kindergarten and ever since, they always together. He may be the loudest person ever existed and the usual type of person that Kyouya hate without effort, he hate all kind of people anyway but here stood him next to him. Again, Kyouya will never admit it but he like it when Ryohei was nearby, he feel safe and happy next to him and he will kill himself if he ever say that aloud. What he thinks will only be known to him and not for other person to know. Maybe Ryohei knew all this time but he never mentioned it and that's what he like about his friend, he may look stupid but he can be damn sharp sometimes.

"Nothing," his foul mood lessens each minute. One brilliant idea comes to his mind.

"Ne, Ryo?"

"Hm, yeah?"

"Can you punch Haneuma in the face for me?" ask Kyouya innocently. Ryohei's eyes widened at his friend's odd request. They stare at each other in silence.

"Kyo, you know that we can't hit a teacher. What sin does he do that you want to beat him so badly that you go to length of asking me to punch him for you. Don't give me your usual crap that he just pissed you off again. Everyone pissed you off. Why don't you do it yourself? Wait, Kenny confiscated your tonfas isn't it? That's why you ask me to do it. Look, I may be your friend but I won't hit him for you, ever,"

"Tch, not the way he is. Always had that stupid grin plastered on him, charming everyone with his fake smile, and…and, urgh! I know I can smell something rotten on him. I can feel my skin crawl every time he smiles at me and his attempt to try to befriend me. Can't he understand that I don't want to be one of his stupid herbivore friends? It satisfied me when I hit him. I feel like I'm cleansing some evil intention every time my tonfas connected with his face," answered Kyouya.

"You want to hear my opinion?" ask Ryohei uncertain.

"What?"

"It sounds like jealousy to me here, hearing it from you," Kyouya gaped. 'Jealous?! Me, feeling envious to…to that Haneuma?!'

"What in your mind that made you think that?!" snarled Kyouya.

"Well, calm down a bit, 'kay. It just an opinion. It looks like that to me. I know that you never like anyone but the way you hate him is exceptional, even your hate to Rukudo Mukuro is pale in comparison," shrugged Ryohei. Kyouya just grit his teeth. They both walk into their school in silence. Heading to their class, Class 3-A, they meet the much said person of the talk, their homeroom teacher, the Haneuma as Kyouya call him, Dino Chiavarone.

"Kyouya," call him happily.

"And Ryohei," when he noticed Ryohei next. He always noticed Kyouya first thing before everyone else as if he was the only person in his sight.

"You late. Well, almost late. Come, hurry up. The bell already rings long ago. I will not put you two as late," say Dino while putting his billion watt smile. Kyouya grimaced at him and hurriedly walk to his seat without spare glance at Dino. He never outright rude to his teachers , even if he dislike to a few of them, he never act rude to them as boldly as he act to Dino. Ryohei follow after him and muttered "Sorry, he wakes up in the wrong side of his bed this morning. He's been like that when I meet him this morning" in whisper so that only Dino can hear it. Dino nod his head at that and winked at him.

Ryohei sat at his seat next to Kyouya and Kyouya stubbornly look out of the window. Dino notices how boldly Kyouya was acting rude to him day after day but today, he notices that Kyouya was acting bolder than he used to. 'I know he mad at me but this is a whole new level of his usual hatred' thought Dino.

'Maybe I should ask him later. With my bullwhip of course. Kyouya will never let me having a civil talk with him without his tonfas. Well, his short temper of his what make him cute after all. I wonder how he will react if I told him that. It always fun to poke at his temper here and there. Kyouya is too predictable for his own good and so easy to read. I wonder why people say that he was so hard to read his emotion. His emotion flows so easily from his eyes. I can see it as clear as crystal'

Kyouya shuddered suddenly. It feels like someone is talking about him. Slowly, he takes a peek at Dino. Dino, notices Kyouya looking at him smiles brightly at him. A vein ticked at Kyouya forehead. Without a second thought, he abruptly stands up and walks out of the classroom. He slams the door so hard that it rattled loudly and echo in the silence classroom. Dino just blinks in shock before able to register what had happens.

"Umm, sorry class. Self-study for now and please be quite. I don't want to hear any complain from other teacher about you guys 'kay," he excuses himself and went out to find Kyouya. There are only a few places that the said student will go; the rooftop, library and infirmary. His first guess will be the rooftop, the infirmary; Dr. Shamal will probably will not Kyouya in if he was not injured. The library; this is still class hour, Kyouya can't get into 'till lunch time anyway so that left rooftop.

Opening the door to the rooftop, there lays Kyouya stand by the fence, looking out from the school. Perched in his hand is a yellow bird singing their school anthem in high pitched chirping. Dino raised an eyebrow at the sight. He never takes Kyouya as someone who nice to animal much like small one that singing in annoying pitch. 'You learned new things about your peculiar student every day' Dino smile at the thought. Maybe that's why he was intrigued by Kyouya. Kyouya is never the person that people thought he is. Always contradicting with what of people expect him to be.

Feeling that he was not alone, Kyouya turns to look at Dino. It was brief but Dino notices a small smile on Kyouya that quickly change to frown when he registers that Dino is there. 'How pity. It was a beautiful smile. I hope he smile more often. I wonder who did he expecting earlier to have him smile' The thought of it make him feel angry. As fast as the feeling come, it fades. Instantly he wore his signature smile that melted many people before except Kyouya.

"People may say that I'm ignorant and oblivious but I'm far more observant that people credit me for, Kyouya. Now, may I have my answer? Why did you bolt out from my class without as much of an excuse?" ask Dino. One hand already touched his bullwhip that strapped at his belt. Why teachers have an access in weaponry? Well, in Namimori Middle School, every teacher was allowed in access in weapon, not firearm but some sort of weapon to deal with student especially delinquent. The headmaster permitted it and encourage a teacher to carry one so here it he.

Kyouya just stand there, his bird perching on his fingers, tilting his small head at Dino in silence. Dino was sweating already. Kyouya never acts like this before and he doesn't readying his tonfas to face him yet. Usually, his tonfas will be far too eager to connect with his face. Dino can feel the heavy intensity of Kyouya hatred from where he stands but Kyouya makes no move to attack and it worried him. Are Kyouya sick or something?

"Are you okay, Kyouya? You usually strike at me by now," ask Dino uncertain. He heard small reply coming from Kyouya but it was so low, that he barely heard it.

"I'm sorry Kyouya. At this distance, I can't hear anything you say," He can see that Kyouya gritted his teeth and talk again in restrained voice.

"I said, my father took my tonfas so I can't bite you to death now, you lucky Haneuma," growled Kyouya through gritted teeth. Dino raised one eyebrow at the statement. 'Okay, he has no tonfas with him but that doesn't mean that he can't punch me or anything'

"Ok, you don't have your tonfas with you. But I still don't understand as to why you cannot fight me the usual way you do. I never know you were so dependent of it. I disappointed in you, Kyouya," before he realized what happens, he felt a punch on his right cheek. He smirks at the aching feeling. He knows how effortless it is to provoke Kyouya. His student has such short fuse of temper. Quickly readying his owns weapon to strike back.

Before he's able to do anything, Dino was stunned by what displayed before him. Kyouya cradle his left hand close to his chest as if hurt. Slowly, Kyouya lift his head and Dino swear that he sees Kyouya eyes glassy in tears. His looks back at Kyouya hand and he thought that he sees Kyouya right fingers were in awkward positions as if his knuckle was break. Confused, Dino thought, 'Shit, what happens? Did I mess up? I barely do anything and he was hurting already?'
