Author's Note: As this is my first attempt at a fanfic, I apologize in advance if Hibari is OOC.

Yubi's POV

As the last day of classes finally passed, I pushed through the crowd of joyful students and arrived back at my room. Thanks to Kyoko, everything we needed had been packed last night and now currently stood lined up next to the door. When I entered, I flopped onto my bed in earnest for some last minute sleep.

Just when I was slipping farther and farther away from reality, I heard a sound that I most certainly did not want to hear at the moment: my cell phone going off like it was going to die if I didn't pick up right away. Let me tell you, above anything else, I need SLEEP. Don't care if there is someone that needs my help, bother my sleep and you are going to end up in the infirmary. Growling like a beast at the guilty offender, my eyes flashed death rays at the screen and instantly softened as I glanced at the caller id.

"Hello, Haru-chan. Did you need something? I thought you weren't going to pick us up until an hour later."

"Ah, something came up. I might have to…..ummm….pick you up a bit earlier than planned. Is that okay with you?"

"Of course! How much earlier do you need to pick us up?"

Waving hi to Kyoko as she came in the door, I mouthed to her that Haru was on the other end of the line. She raised a questioning eyebrow, but decided to wait a little and picked up a novel, cuddling on the sofa with a pillow.

"About that, ummm…my friend and I will be there in around 10 minutes."

Aaaaaand cue the shock dropping in. Glancing around, my gaze shifted to Kyoko still reading her book. I quickly grabbed a piece of paper, wrote down what Haru had told me, folded the paper into a plane, threw it, and watched Kyoko's reaction.

"Sorry! Apparently, her boss asked her to fill in for someone."

"….."

"Hello? Yubi-chan, are you still there?"

"Uh huh. We'll start getting ready now. See you guys in a couple of minutes."

Being the highly efficient person she was, Kyoko had already risen and gathered everything up, waiting only for Haru's knock, which came about a minute later. I opened the door to her happy, yet apologetic face and proceeded to drag our things all the way downstairs to the waiting car. When we arrived at the airport after a relatively uneventful 45 minute ride, we immediately headed to check in and drop our luggage off.

13 Hours Later

Yubi's POV

"I can't believe we're finally going to get to see everyone again Haru-chan!"

"That's right, Kyoko-chan. Are you excited too, Yubi-chan?"

"What?! Of course I like food! Who told you otherwise?" I questioned, eyes wide like a doe.

"Haha! That's not what we were talking about, Yubi-chan."

"Oh…I knew that."

Haru's POV

It was pretty obvious to both of us that Yubi-chan was still really sleepy. When she was sleeping on the plane, Kyoko-chan and I walked around a bit to stretch our legs. Just a couple minutes before we returned to our seats, this really persistent man kept flirting with Kyoko-chan. It took several pictures of Tsuna posing with Kyoko-chan to convince him that she was already taken. Some guys just never learn.

Kyoko's POV

As we went chatting along, we grabbed our mountain of luggage and tried to make our way to the spot where Tsuna said everyone would meet up with us. Lucky for us, Tsuna and all of the Guardians, including Hibari-san, were where they said they would be. Tsuna walked over to us and greeted everyone else as well when suddenly; I noticed that Yubi-chan wasn't with us.

Looking back, I saw her being approached by this fairly attractive man around our age. Unconsciously, my feet started moving faster and faster in order to reach her side quickly. Unfortunately, Yubi-chan isn't exactly the smartest person when it comes to men trying to pick her up. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see everyone following along, Hibari-san in the front with a possessive gleam in his eyes. Reborn-chan, please hold him back a little.

Yubi's POV

"Excuse me, miss. I was sitting in the aisle behind you. Could I ask a question of you?"

"Of course!" I smiled at him.

"Is this, by any chance, your bracelet?"

Huh? A bracelet? "No, I'm sorry. Unfortunately, that bracelet isn't mine."

"Oh, my apologies. I just assumed that such beautiful bracelet had a beautiful owner as well."

A bit lost, I thanked him for the compliment. A few seconds later, I felt an arm slide my waist into an embrace. Now completely lost, I looked up to find Hibari smirking at the man who had just complimented me, albeit in a slightly roundabout way.

"Flirt with my omnivore again, and I'll bite you to death so you can't see the light of tomorrow."

Careful not to disturb him, I slowly and cautiously tugged on his suit sleeve. When he glanced at me and silently told me to voice whatever I had on my mind, I proceeded.

"First of all, that was flirting?"

Looking around, I noticed that everyone looked dumbfounded.

"What? Anyways, I thought I was an herbivore, Kyoya." I blinked in confusion.

"Oh, is that so?"

Staring at him like he was slightly crazy, I nodded furiously.

"Good news, then. You've upgraded." He smirked, then lifted me up completely.

"Kyoya, put me down!"

"No."
