Me: I'm working on part three and it's going awesome so far! So read, read, read, read, review- oops. Read, read, and review! xD

I made it in time! Actually, Akasaki-sensei claimed he had forgotten and kindly said that I take a seat now if I wished to get it over and done with.

And having no other choice since I figured this would probably be the only chance I would be able to do this ungodly test, so I settled down in an empty seat near the front, completely unprepared and still a little frazzled by my sudden rush to the classroom.

"You have 45 minutes Sakurai-san." He gave a professional smile which was my cue as he glanced at his wrist watch before taking his usual seat behind his desk.

My pencil wandered from here to there, and the first thing I thought was… I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE ANSWERS ARE!

I panicked a little which made my heart pick up, now I knew how Tsuna felt.

"Are you alright, Sakurai-san?" Crap. I cursed in my head, feeling like a total idiot as he was probably peering down at me through his glasses.

I looked up through my lashes, a little taken aback when I saw what looked to be worry in his face. I felt my heart skip a beat, oh God how cheesy…

But his eyes were such a magnificent chocolate brown I felt it would compete greatly to those of Yamamoto's, not like I didn't like his eyes In the first place.

"F-fine, just fine." I strained a smile and quickly buried my attention right back at the test, I wasn't fine at all. But I couldn't tell him that, he was worried dammit! Worried that my intelligence didn't match those of who he respected, and man did I want some of that.

I can't help it, it's in my blood.

I didn't want to look stupid in-front of him. Period.

Oh the irony… I sulked in my seat on the couch, looking over the list again in-case I had misread the text and probably needed to get my eyes checked. But no, it was there and it was correct.

My name was listed in the notice sheet for history class as having one of the lowest scores in the entire class. Normally I would've just barely passed seeing as my knowledge only went so far, but this… This was probably enough for Kyo- Oh crap.

"What's that?" He peered at me and it was just then did I notice his presence in the room, the door had been left just barely open and I could see that recognizable glint of his suspicion. But before I could even emit any sound at all the paper was already snatched out of my hand leaving a sting of a shallow paper cut along the expanse of my index finger.

"Ow!" He merely glanced at me, ignoring the scowl I sent his way as I pressed my lips to my wounded finger.

"…" A deafening silence followed except for my occasional hiss of pain, jeez he could've just asked. Oh wait, he did.

"… You're an idiot." Well what would you expect from Hibari Kyoya? In-fact I didn't expect anything so this may be a plus.

Putting jokes aside he deftly flicked the sheet of paper to land at my lap before swiftly setting himself behind his desk once again for the day. I couldn't help but let the frown linger a little bit longer, yet his eyes were still put aside for some work still placed on his desk.

For a moment I felt a light weight being placed on my head but I waved it off knowing it was Hibird, chirping happily and shifting his little feet against my scalp.

I could never figure out what that boy is thinking, always, always his eyes would hide from me. I was pretty good at that you see analyzing people from certain looks they gave me with their eyes.

Others found it weird of me since I was able to manipulate people that way, but then that isn't the thing. Their eyes is what always gets my attention first, the very first thing I notice in everyone is their eyes.

That way I can tell what their first impression might be like or it would give me an idea anyway.

Maybe if I was just a little closer to him, maybe I could finally see what he feels or what he thinks about nowadays. Not even in the future was I able to take notes of this mysterious man that is Hibari Kyoya.

"Ne, Kyoya-senpai?" For one fleeting moment he looked up at me with minus more of that glare of his.

Yet it wrinkled at his brow again when he saw me smiling a little too obviously his way.

"What is it, herbivore?"

My smile drifted into something safer, for me anyway. "Uh, since I failed most of my exams… and you technically graduated…"

I unconsciously reached back to rub the back of my head, causing the little bird to flutter up and land on her masters head.

He arched a brow and I could see now that he clearly did not like to waste time.

"Could you tutor me for the next couple of weeks?"

The request was simple and a little risky in my opinion but then the way he looked at me suddenly changed and I found myself a little mystified by his dark eyes.

Wow, I thought. I never really noticed how pretty his eyes really were.

"What makes you think I would do that, herbivore?" Scratch that. The stupid bastard… Why is he so cold?

"B-but Kyoya-" I found myself whining a little childishly forcing some look of cuteness in my eyes as I enlarged them almost extremely and peered up through my lashes, pulling out my bottom lip as I tried to give him my best puppy dog eyed look.

I didn't know if it worked but next thing I knew I was outside of the reception room, books In hand as well as my bag.

With a deep scowl I whipped around and kicked the door hard, thus resulting into a shock wave of unwanted pain to run up my leg.

I cursed loudly, not really caring if I was heard or not by the other busy classrooms.

Oh man, what period is it now? Second I'm guessing?

I shrugged it off and proceeded to make my way down the empty hallways, passing open classrooms and taking a small hint of their lessons.

Math, English, Histo- Oh… I stopped in my tracks noting that said classroom was just about another meter away from where I stood beside a corner.

I halted just then, suddenly remembering that same look my History teacher had given me just a night ago, it resembled something that I had seen in a lot of faces back in that crazy adventure in the future.

And being the stupid little girl that I was I always found those looks being pointed my way, mostly because of the fact that apparently in that time I was some sort of strong kick-ass lady.

My relations with Hibari Kyoya were still a little unknown to me but the future Kusakabe occasionally gave me looks that could have hinted at something.

Now I suddenly remembered the future Hibari, the way he always looked so calm during everything else that happened. In battle, meetings, our conversations, heck even when a particular someone was picking a fight with him.

Great, now I really didn't get him. If I couldn't understand older Hibari Kyoya then how in the hell am I going to understand him at this age!?

~Bonus: Welcome to the future.

I gaped, for some reason my chest contracted a little too harshly and I found my breathing hard.

Since when did Hibari look this good? Man was I an idiot for not even considering him as my primary mate. I chuckled mentally before Tsuna's surprised cry woke me up in a startle, I couldn't find myself to turn away though.

The years were certainly kind to this man, was what kept flitting into my mind.

"Ayame-chan!" Now I had to turn away, unaware of the look that was thrown my way from the man before me.

"Tsuna-kun! Lal!" The pair sprinted towards me and I clumsily picked myself off from the ground, only receive a firm grip on my upper arm as if to steady me but the look in Tsuna's eyes betrayed ay sort of kindness.

"Hibari-san!" I whipped my head around to see the older man looking quite intently in my own eyes, and for this moment I suddenly found my evaluations quite muddled up as a a distinct heat filled m cheeks.

He was so close all of a sudden.

"U-uh, Ts-Tsuna-kun? Lal?" I forced myself to speak though unable to tear m eyes away. "G-Gokudera-kun and Takeshi-kun…"

No more could be said as cries were heard and Tsuna's occasional shout for his injured comrades, Lal following in close beside him.

And here I still stood, locked in a deep gaze with the bo- man I had last argued with back home, truth be told I was a little scared of this version. Maybe he hated me in this time? Maybe the both of us were no longer friends or companions at the moment.

But when he uttered out his first words to me I suddenly thought that maybe were a little more closer than I had expected.

"Ayame… Sakurai."

Up to this day I still couldn't figure out what that look in his eyes meant.

Me: I've changed some bits but I doubt it made any big difference.
Thanks for reading! ^o^
