Okay, here's chapter 2! I really need to study for AP's. Ah I'm doomed.
MMMM~ OOC Hibarii. I love it :P

Disclaimerrr: DON'T OWN SO DON'T SUE PLEASE. Thank you :)
"Hibari…," I said quietly. "Do you know where you're going?" He suddenly stopped and turned around. He looked at the darkish blue spot on my wrist; it had a fading bright red circle around it. He flinched as I grasped my wrist and quickly put it behind my back. I walked up to him. "I think you're walking in the wrong direction," I smiled tightening my wrist. "I think you're getting us lost. Do you need me to lead –" Hibari suddenly grabbed my shoulders. I hissed at the jolt of pain that came from my right shoulder. The twisting from earlier left some kind of sprain. He loosened his grip.
Taking hold of his wrists, I questioned, "Is something wrong?" I looked at him while his eyes were on my bruise spot. "Oh …this? This is nothing, its fine. I – " Before I could retort any longer, he released himself from my grip and carefully took my right hand. He looked at it for a while. He had this apologetic face, trying really hard to find a way to apologize. The blank look in his eyes was so expressive to me in so many ways.
He suddenly took my hand up to his face. He brushed the fingers slowly across his cheeks. His eyes closed slowly while he brushed his thumb across my bruise and lightly kissed it. "Sorry…" he whispered.
I stood there motionless, completely hypnotized by his actions, his words. My face had to be really red. I caught a slight blush on Hibari's face. I figure that he's in the same situation as me.
- DING- -DING- -DING-
Hibari and I snapped back to reality, and Hibari quickly turned to continue walking the wrong direction. "Hurry up, herbivore." I giggled and ran to catch up. I grabbed his hand.
"You're still going the wrong way…" He looked at me with a confused look. I smiled and dragged him the other way, tightly grasping his hand.
The number of people in the hallway began to increase as people transitioned to first period. His cold hand stung my warm skin, sending sparks through my blood vessels and electrocuting my heartbeat. I refused to look behind me, too scared to see if he was uncomfortable with my actions.
We reached room 223 with much delay, avoiding the student body as we walked. I released Hibari's hand and he looked away. I felt disappointed after having such high hopes for only a few minutes.
Hibari opened the door and entered, holding it slightly for me to catch. I followed him into the room. Inside sat six boys and four girls. Reborn was sitting on the teacher's desk. He motioned me over and I saw down on the teacher's chair. I placed my backpack next to the chair. Reborn suddenly climbed onto my lap.
"Oi! Reborn! Who is that?" A boy with beautiful silver hair yelled.
"Shhh! Gokudera! We're in a school. We can't yell!" A boy with spikey brown hair said in a nervous voice. He sat in the center of the room with Gokudera at his right. A boy with short spikey black hair sat behind them. He held a metal baseball bat in his left hand. Close to the front sat a purple haired girl with an eye patch, looking down at the floor and arms between her legs. Her hair reminded me of a pineapple, hair standing at the top near the back and round like the shape of her head. She was surrounded by a girl with a brown ponytail, a girl with short golden hair, and a girl with long thin braids tied back neatly. A boy with thick black locks and one eye closed sat at the other end of the class with a boy with short silver hair and a Band-Aid tape across his nose. Hibari sat at the back of the room.
"This is Isabella." I waved cheerfully. They all looked at me with a curious expression. "Everyone can introduce themselves later. Now about Dattero Di Mare…"
Before he could continue, a tonfa came flying towards Reborn and me. I quickly kicked the chair slightly to the left. The tonfa barely hit my right shoulder and mounted into the wall. I sat completely in shock.
"Hibari-san! You nearly hit her!" The spikey haired boy faced Hibari with a worried face. Is he the young boss?
"Quiet herbivore! I wasn't aiming at her …" Hibari narrowed his eyes at me. "Get of her, Reborn," he scowled. I looked down. Reborn was sitting on my lap smiling at me.
"You have a good reflex, Isabella." Reborn's ignorance towards Hibari was angering Hibari. He was about to throw his other tonfa when the brown haired boy from earlier abruptly ran towards us. He tripped a few times on the way here, but it did stall Hibari from throwing another metal deathtrap at me.
"Reborn, I think you should come with me…" I looked at him closely. His brown hair covered his pretty light brown eyes. He caught me staring and smiled. His smile was like a cute child's.
"My name is Tsuna." He said while trying to get Reborn.
"Nice to meet you," I smiled. Hibari came over and whacked Tsuna on the head on the way over here.
"Ow! Hibari-san! What was that for?" Tsuna rubbed his head while Hibari walked over to behind the desk. He grabbed the tonfa stuck in the wall and with a weak yank, pulled the tonfa out without trying.
"It's because you blushed, stupid Tsuna." Reborn said apathetically. He smirked happily. It could be seen in his eyes that he was enjoying every second of this. What a devious child.
"WHAT?" The girl in the brown ponytail stood up with a scary expression. She scared the girls around her.
"Haru-chan, please calm down." The fluffy golden haired girl said grabbing onto Haru's shirt.
"But Kyoko-chan! Tsuna blushed at an unknown girl," Haru exclaimed.
"Please Haru-chan," Tsuna said to her nervously, "She's new. Don't make her feel alienated. "He smiled at me. I looked over at Haru.
"I'm sorry for the insecurity, Haru-chan," I said in an uncomfortable voice, but I smiled to hide it. Tsuna looked at me worryingly.
Reborn jumped off my lap onto the desk and flicked Tsuna on the head. "All of you sit back down." Tsuna returned back to his seat and Haru and Kyoko sat back down. Hibari stood behind me, looking uninterested.
Reborn jumped down and began giving some of the members a picture. The group of girls shared one. "Now study the picture I gave you and read the description on the back. You guys are to be friends with them and somehow win over their cooperation to agree to be our allies." He said while giving one to Gokudera. He ran over to give one to Hibari but Hibari refused to take it by ignoring him. He then turned to me, handing me an entire stack of photos plus the one that Hibari should've taken. "Isabella, your job is to befriend all of them. I do believe you can do that." He looked at me with the creepiest smile yet.
I looked at Reborn with the most confused face I can make. "So I'm like… backup?"
"Yes. I'll explain why to you later," he smiled.
"Oh okay." I shuffled the pictures, majority of the people were boys. Just like this group. But I reached the picture of the one and only girl. She looked familiar. I flipped through the pictures once again. Every single one of these people I knew, they were all at least in one of my classes.
I noticed at the corner of every picture there were either the words cloud, mist, lightning, sun, rain storm, or sky.
"Hey, where are these words written here?" I asked out loud. Everyone looked at me like I was stupid. I pouted a little as I shrank into my chair.
"Each mafia has a different guardian to a boss," Reborn began. "The cloud, mist, lightning, sun, rain and storm guardians all protect their boss, the sky." He jumped onto Tsuna's desk. "This here is our boss, the sky."
"Hehe… sorry for not telling you before…" Tsuna said while rubbing the back of his head. Reborn pointed at Gokudera.
"Gokudera here is the boss' right hand man. He is the storm guardian."
"I still don't trust you…" Gokudera said while looking away, avoiding eye contact. Reborn moved his fingers toward the boy with short black hair.
"The one with the baseball bat, Yamamoto, is the rain guardian," Reborn explained.
"Hey there! Nice to meet you!" He exclaimed with the most upbeat aura. I laughed and waved back.
"The two over there in the corner are Ryohei and Lambo." Reborn said while pointing at the boy with short silver hair and the boy with thick black locks. "Ryohei is the sun guardian and Lambo is the thunder guardian." Ryohei suddenly jumped up.
"THIS IS EXCITING TO THE EXTREME!" I jolted in my seat from surprise. Everyone began to laugh. Lambo rose up slower and much quieter than Ryohei.
"Nice to meet you…You're a really interesting girl." He had a pretty boy smile on. I just smiled back and quickly turn towards Reborn. He was with the girls, sitting on Kyoko's lap. This kid has a pattern on what he does.
"Chrome here is the mist guardian. She has another side that you should know about but we'll talk about it later…" The girl with the purple hair nodded at me and looked away. Her face was bright red. She seems like a really cute girl. "Kyoko ,Haru, and I-pin are girls who were accidentally caught in this situation." Oh, so they're kind of like me.
"Oh no, Reborn… We joined this at our own will." Kyoko admitted. She smiled and looked at me, "Nice to meet you, I'm Kyoko."
"Kyoko, you're really cute." I said bluntly. Everyone looked at me in shock, especially Tsuna. His face was as red as Kyoko's.
"What about me?" Haru was obviously jealous.
"You're definitely prettier than me." I said with the utmost truth. She giggled and came over to give me a hug. I petted her head. She was just a little shorter than me. I-pin began to speak Chinese. I could understand everything, Chinese being my native language. I replied back and she looked at me with a hug smile. Everyone looked at me with a surprised look.
"So she's Chinese, huh…" Yamamoto commented.
"Taiwanese actually" I laughed. "There's a difference."
"Oh, really?" Yamamoto laughed with me. "I didn't know that."
I looked over to Reborn and asked, "So who's the cloud guardian?" A hand suddenly came and slapped the top of my head. "Oh right Hibari; I forgot you were in this too." I smiled at him calmly. I felt him lightly pet me before turning away.
- DING- -DING- -DING-
It was the bell for the end of first period. "IT'S THE END OF FIRST PERIOD?" I yelled. "Oh god, I'm going to be counted absent."
"Oh don't worry about that," Reborn said while hopping desks. "Hibari can fix that for you. He can make it seem like an excused absence." I looked at with a completely incoherent face. "That's what Hibari is for. That is why he is so important," Reborn explained. Hibari handed me an excused absence note. "And don't wonder how. That's what makes it fun." Reborn said before walking over to Tsuna. "Let's go Tsuna and bring everyone. You guys are to come to school tomorrow. Only Hibari is to be here today."
"Oh ok, hey everyone, let's go." Tsuna said with little confidence. Is he going to be ok as a mafia boss, I wondered.
We all began to leave the classroom. Each said a quiet farewell as everyone began to split ways, holding a new schedule and a photo. Reborn was the last to disappear into the crowd of students, leaving Hibari and me together in the hallway.
Hibari stared at me for a few seconds before looking away. I stared back at him with complete silence smiling broadly, hiding the note behind my back. I wasn't sure if the bruise was still making him paranoid, so I hid it just in case. He slowly turned his head back at me, eyes first. And for the first time ever I saw a smile. Not a forced one or an uncomfortable one, but one that expressed more emotion.
"You know, I think you were lying." He said to me.
"Huh?"
"You're definitely more beautiful…" I looked away and blushed uncontrollably. It was so random and sudden.
I looked back at him. He looked at me with a stoic expression, one that captured my eyes. I couldn't help but lift my left hand up to his face, fingers brushing across the cheek and the thumb trailing the area under his eyes. I mimicked his exact action from before, but without him leading. He had dark circles indicating sleeplessness. Judging from the way they called each other earlier, they most likely came from Japan even though a few didn't look Japanese. How long has he been awake? Hibari's half lidded eyes were focused at me. He took hold of my hand tightly and brought it down to his side, not loosening it one bit. I looked down at our hands and back up to his beautiful eyes. It was my most favorite part about him.
He leaned down close to my ears, slightly leaning his chin on my shoulder. He whispered, "Will you take me to your next class?" I couldn't help but laugh a little.
"I'd love to."
He tightened his grip as we walked. As we walked, I keep thinking to myself.
When can I make you mine…? Will you be willing to? Because I feel that you do…
