Oh um, it seems that I forgot the disclaimer last chapter so I'm making sure to put it in this chapter so I don't get sued...^.^

DISCLAMER: I, Love Muffin Of Doom, do not claim ownership to Katekyo Hitman Reborn whatsoever! If I did I would make Gokudera do a strip tease for every time he yells at Yamamato!~ XD

Also, when text goes like this it means that it is a flashback..kk?

Enjoy~

Mei walked happily down the quiet streets of Namimori clutching a shopping bag with her money inside.

It was about time she got out of the house, Mei decided. She had been cooped up in Hibari's house for three days; it was about time that she had a look around the town that she would be living in from now on. Especially after seeing how attached her husband was to the town it didn't seem like she would be moving towns anytime soon.

Well, Hibari was at work; wherever that was, and she had already done all of the house cleaning. That is what she had been doing for the past three days anyway, and if she had mopped the floor one more time she was pretty sure it was going to sparkle. Hibari liked nothing more than a clean house, she at least knew that, but Mei was also pretty sure that he wouldn't appreciate sparkly floors.

So Mei was heading down to the market. Food was getting low and there was little to no meat left. Even though Mei was exactly what Hibari took to calling her; Herbivore, Hibari was definitely nowhere near being a vegetarian. And his opinion of her had seemed to lower considerably when she told him.

'Well this is awkward.' That was the only legible thought going though Mei's head in this current moment, she had just met her husband and was currently standing outside his door, bags in hand.

'The Man'; Hibari Kyouya was currently looking at the poor girl with something that seemed to closely resemble disdain, however it was hard to tell seeing as a single raised eyebrow was the only thing out of place on Hibari's perfect poker face.

"Herbivore-"

Mei's eyes lit up. "Oh Wow! How'd you know that I'm a vegetarian Hibari-san?" She exclaimed, blurting out the first thing on her mind, excitement and a little curiosity bleeding into her voice. 'Geez,' she thought,slightly disgruntled. 'And I only got a picture when I was told who I was going to be marrying.'

'Yup,' Mei thought to herself, 'that was definitely one of the more awkward moments in my life.'

The crowds started thickening and there was a good deal more shops in the area, so Mei took this to be a sign that she was already in the market district or very near.

A black and white blur suddenly came out of nowhere and slammed right into Mei stomach, winding her slightly and making her stumble backwards. Acting on instinct she clutched at the unidentified object's shoulders and tried to steady both herself and the thing that had crashed into her.

Catching her breath Mei pulled the blur away at arm's length to see exactly what it was. The sight that she was presented with was slightly odd. A child was what had crashed into her. He seemed to be around eight or nine years old. That in itself wasn't odd; children were in great abundance, so there wasn't anything strange about that.

However the small boy seemed to be impersonating a cow. Black curly hair fashioned in an afro had two cow horns sticking out of the side of his head. He was wearing a cow print T-shirt with black jeans that also had cow prints on them, his shoes were fashioned to look like cow hooves and Mei could have sworn that she was a glimpse of a cow tail attached to the back of his pants. The only children she had seen dressed up like animals were either toddlers or going out on Halloween.

Looking down at his face, she felt her heart melt as a pair of lime green eyes blinked up at her with a slight hint a tears glistening in their angelic depths, this kid looked like he could do no wrong.

"WAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" A scream came from the previously 'angelic' cow boy as tears started streaming down his face. "I WANT TAKOYAKI!" He screeched.

Mei decided she like the kid a lot better when he didn't open his mouth.

"Um," Mei felt quite at a loss at what to do, so she just stood in front of the screaming child, feeling quite unintelligent and slightly embarrassed at the large amount of people staring at her and the wailing kid.

Deciding now was a good time to make her exit Mei turned around and tried to walk away from the screaming child. She didn't get very far because the kid had attached himself around her leg, sat down on her foot and was still screaming.

Reaching down she tried to pry the cow boy off of her foot, it didn't work, he just clung tighter to her leg and screamed all the louder.

"Ok, I'll buy you takoyaki, but only if you stop screaming." Mei tried bargaining with the child.

The result was instantaneous, green eyes were immediately cleared of tears and a snotty nose was dry, probably because he had wiped his dripping nose all over her jeans.

Before Mei knew exactly what was happening she had already found herself shelling out her money and receiving seven sticks of takoyaki, before being dragged off to the nearest bench. Once there she watched the seemingly innocent cow child devour six whole six of takoyaki by the time it took her to finish one.

Mei made up her mind to never trust innocent looking children again.

"Um, where's your mum?" She asked the cow boy who was still enthusiastically shoving takoyaki into the gaping hole that was his mouth.

"Lambo doesn't know where Mama or Tsuna is." He replied, spraying chewed-up takoyaki out of his mouth while he spoke.

Grateful to be out of the line of fire, so to speak, Mei decided that she had babysat the cow boy long enough, he was cute, true, but that could prove to be dangerous. He had already made her buy seven sticks of takoyaki and if she took him shopping with her she didn't even want to imagine the stuff she would end up buying for him.

When Lambo had finished his last stick of takoyaki, Mei held her hand out to him. "Come on, we're going to go find your mum."

"Only if you buy me ice-cream!"

Alright, she had officially decided, this kid was dangerous!

So hand in hand Lambo and Mei made their way down the street in search of the elusive Mama, Mei was desperately hoping to find Lambo's mother soon, she had shopping to do, and she had to get home before Hibari did so that she could cook a dinner fit for a carnivore, she also did not want to deal with another of Lambo's fits, they scared her.

Lambo, on the other hand, was having great fun with his unknown lady, she was very nice, in his opinion, and had just bought him more takoyaki then Tsuna ever had. He decided he liked this lady, and seeing as she was going to buy him ice-cream he was more then happy to go wherever she was going!

Noticing that the two of them were rapidly approaching an ice-cream stall, Mei's eyes widened to almost comic proportions, there was no way that she was going to be able to get Lambo past the shop without him noticing, and who knows how many ice-creams he is going to end up eating! She hated this ice-cream shop! Why did there have to be an ice-cream shop here? She cursed the existence of the stupid, stinky ice-cream shop! Nothing short of divine intervention was going to be able to save her wallet now, or-

"LAMBO!"

Or, apparently, a very short, high-strung, young man.

A male, who appeared to be around the same age as Mei, came stumbling up to the pair, a flustered expression across his face and a worried look in his amber colored eyes.

"BLEH!" The cow boy stuck his tongue out at the guy with the spiky brown hair. "Stupid Tsuna! I don't want to go with you! I'm going with this nice lady who bought me Takoyaki and she said she would buy me ice-cream!"

Mei shrugged at Tsuna, she didn't exactly want to buy Lambo ice-cream, but she didn't want to make Tsuna feel like it was a pain to have babysat his brother, or at least she was guessing that Tsuna was Lambo's big brother, they didn't look anything alike though.

"Hehe, um, I'm Sawada Tsunayoshi, but most people just call me Tsuna. Thanks for taking care of Lambo, I hope he wasn't too much trouble." He bowed in thanks and Mei realized that Tsuna and her were just about the same height.

"Nice to meet you Tsuna," Mei bowed in turn. "I'm Aizawa Mei, but please just call me Mei." She didn't think it was such a good idea to tell everyone that she was Hibari's wife, plus she was just barely getting used to the idea herself.

Both of there attention was immediately stolen by the cow boy, who did not like being ignored for very long and took to whining in order to get the two older peoples' attention, much to Tsuna's apparent distress.

"Come on Lambo." Tsuna very nearly pleaded with the kid. "We need to go home now."

"NO!" The rather spoiled cow boy screamed. "ONLY IF I GET MY ICE-CREAM! THE LADY PROMISED TO GET ME ICE-CREAM!"

Mei blinked, rather at a loss for words, she had met with some very strong willed children in her life sure, but this little kid took the prize for 'Most Demanding Child' without any competition.

"Fine." Tsuna complied, "we'll get you your ice-cream, but then we have to go straight home."

"NOOOOOOO! I WANT THE LADY TO COME WITH ME AND GET ME ICE-CREAM!" The cow boy then began to throw yet another fit.

Tsuna's and Mei's eyes met, both green and brown eyes sharing a similar panicked look.

Mei quickly glanced at her necklace-watch, Hibari wouldn't get home until later, and sometimes he wasn't home for dinner at all. She still had time before the shops closed and she felt sorry for this guy who would have to deal with the tantrum-throwing Lambo.

"It's fine Lambo." Mei decided to give in for now, she couldn't deal with crying children very well. "I'll go with you and Tsuna to get ice-cream."

Lambo immediately stopped crying, and Mei realized that this kid had her practically wrapped around his little finger, and this realization was a frightening one.

"Thank you so much Mei-san, I'm really sorry about this, I bet you have much better things to do right now, you don't really have to come with us. I'm more than used to this."

"Its fine Tsuna-san I don't really mind." It was the truth, the only reason she didn't want to take Lambo to eat ice-cream was just because she didn't want Lambo's mum to be worried about him.

With that the trio consisting of Lambo, Tsuna and Mei set off towards the ice-cream shop, neither one of the eighteen year old hostages of Lambo wanting to think about how to inform said boy that Mei wasn't going to be coming for a sleepover and that Lambo was going to be going home with Tsuna after ice-cream. Although the both of them did hope that Mama would show up before Lambo threw the inevitable fit.

A/N: Um, well I hope you guys liked this new chapter, it's a little longer than the last one, I hope you guys think that's a good thing ^.^~ And I'M SOO SORRY! NO HIBARI IN THIS CHAPTER!~ I'm sorry! I confess, I am procrastinating, I'm so nervous about actually putting Hibari in context, I'm just a little scared that I wont get his character right! But I do promise you that he will come in next chapter! If you guys are still interested in this story... =/ Oh, and please, please tell me if you think any of the characters aren't acting properly, or if you think Mei is getting Mary-Sueish, Thank you!

Also I hope this chapter wasn't confusing for anyone, but just in case it was I'll try to clear anything up here:

Ok so, I didn't start this chapter off exactly where I left off last chapter, and I probably won't do that ever in this story series (I hope that's ok, if not I can try and change it) unless I leave you guys at a real big cliffy, then of course the next chapter will pick up exactly where I left off. I do so hope I'm making sense here! But just to tell you in case you didn't happen to get it (which is still totally understandable) basically; Mei went to Hibari's house seeing as they are married (I'll reveal as to why they are married in a later chapter) and she is living with him now. Things are kind of awkward between the two of them and no one knows the two of them are married, but we shall have some Hibari x Mei time next chapter, promise! But I'm sorry to say I can't promise any actual romance until later in the series, hope that is Ok! XD

And if you didn't figure out their ages; Mei, Tsuna and most of the rest of the 'gang' (I will put them in later promise ^.^) are eighteen, Hibari and Mukuro are twenty, Lambo is nine, and Royhei is nineteen. Just hope that make this story easier to read!And I'm sorry for this long author note.

Everyone loves reviews~
