Okay so I'm hoping that this chapter can really get the story going! I wanted to update soon because I felt like I really needed to get things going so here's chapter 2.

Disclaimer: I own nothing from Reborn!

The school day had been, pretty much, normal for Hibari, and he was just heading outside to have lunch with Chrome, however, he was somewhat displeased at what he found. Chrome was chatting with a blonde boy, unfamiliar to Hibari.

"Oh, Hibari-kun, this is Dino. He's a new student and I invited him to have lunch with us!" Chrome grinned as she introduced Dino.

"Yo!" Dino greeted Hibari as he flashed a wide grin.

Hibari nodded as he sat down next to Chrome.

"Dino's a year older than us, so we don't really have any other classes together aside from lunch and gym," Chrome explained. "Hmm, and I guess that's all..." Chrome pondered for a second, and then resumed her conversation with Dino.

Hibari was quiet for most of lunch, just watching with displeasure as Chrome socialized with this boy. He wasn't really listening, until one certain thing caught his attention.

"Hey, Dino, you should come with us this weekend for our countdown to Christmas!" Chrome exclaimed. "We decided that for the first day of winter, on Sunday, Hibari, Mukuro-nii, and I were going to do something special! You should come!"

Hibari's fist tightened. He wasn't sure why, but the more Chrome talked with this other boy, the more displeasure he seemed to feel. It was odd.

"That sounds cool, but what exactly do you have in mind?" Dino asked curiously.

"Hmmm, well...Oh! I know! Let's all go to fair grounds down town to celebrate!" Chrome suggested, quite enthusiastically.

"Great!" Dino exclaimed.

"Yeah," Hibari mumbled to himself, "Great."

Later, when school was over, Hibari was walking home when a loud voice suddenly called to him.

"Yo! Um, Kyoya!" Dino yelled as he caught up to Hibari.

A vein throbbed, Hibari didn't like to be called Kyoya! In fact, the only person who had enough guts to call him that was that pest Mukuro.

Hibari simply glanced at Dino and continued walking.

"Hmph, well I guess you're not one for talking," Dino mumbled as he continued to catch up to Hibari, while Hibird gave a slightly sympathetic chirp.

"Cool bird," Dino said, trying to start a conversation. "So, anyway, are you alright with me tagging along on Sunday? Cuz you seemed a little stressed."

"It. Is. Fine." Hibari replied in a careless voice as he continued walking.

"Just making sure..." "Chrome is a very pretty girl, don't you think?" Dino asked, changing the subject in a way that caught Hibari a little off guard.

"Hmm?" Hibari asked, trying to figure out what this guy's angle was.

"Well, you two seem close, or at least, she seems close to you...what are you two, exactly? I mean, what is your relationship?" Dino asked curiously.

"Why do you ask?" Hibari questioned in a harshly nonchalant manner.

"I'm just wondering if you two are a couple, cuz she seems to be rather friendly with you. Or maybe, you just have one of those brother-sister relationships because you've known each other for so long," Dino continued.

Hibari's jaw clenched. Something about referring to his relationship with Chrome as a brother-sister relationship just irritated him in a way that he didn't quite understand. But, that was what they were, wasn't it? Now he was confused.

"Or..." Dino continued, oblivious to Hibari's discomfort, "is it an unrequited love? Do you love her and she doesn't know it? Or maybe she has feelings for you? Or are you even friends? You don't seem to respond to her much, so maybe she just latches onto you like some type of admirer...hmmm" Dino continued to think.

"If you don't mind," Hibari finally cut in, "Your constant talking is giving me a migraine, and besides, I believe I'm home," Hibari pointed out as he turned to a rather large house.

Without another word, Hibari left Dino with all of his questions as he entered his home.

"Interesting," Dino said under his breath, as he walked away with a grin on his face.

Hibari didn't sleep well that night. His mind seemed to be stuck on Chrome, and what Dino had been saying to him. What was his relationship with Chrome? Could he really even put a label on it? Hibari was dumbfounded.

He went to bed that night, recalling the day he had first met Chrome Dokuro, and how he made his first friend.

Well there's chapter 2! I hope this moved things along a little better. The next chapter will kick off with a flashback on how little Hibari met Chrome and Mukuro! By the way, Dino is in this story as being a year older than Chrome and Hibari, and I haven't really decided if I want to use him for some D96 or just to move the story along as someone for Hibari to talk to in a D18 friendship sort of thing.
