Yamamoto was discharged early from the hospital due to his "remarkable recovery" as stated by the physician. Although he still had three months of recovery and an awkward cast wrapped around his right arm. Squalo had left as soon as he'd been banned from visitor hours by the hospital; with a letter to his little brother.
"If you pussy out again, I'll kill you!"
The letter had made Yamamoto chuckle, and he mentally thanked his brother for the encouragement.
Sitting at home though, the temporarily downed baseball star soon found that he wasn't meant for idling. Usually he could be found out on the field, practicing with his teammates, or at the very least he'd be playing a video game with his friend Tsuna.
But with his one arm handicap, and a doctor's order not to over exert himself, Yamamoto Takeshi was stuck in his lonely three story mansion with a tv remote and a bowl of popcorn.
His cellphone rang suddenly, and Yamamoto stretched out to reach the sleek black device on the coffee table. Clicking the green button, he answered.
"Yo!"
"Hey, Yamamoto!" Tsuna's concerned voice greeted him. "I heard about your accident! I'm sorry I couldn't visit you in the hospital, I was in Milan dealing with some...business...Are you doing okay?"
Yamamoto grinned, he was always happy to hear from his closest friend. "Naw, it's fine, Tuna fish! What's going on? I'm bored out of my mind over here!"
"H-hey, don't call me that! Anyways...Do you think you could come over right now? I've got something interesting to show you!"
"Well sure, I'd love to! But...I can't drive." He looked at his clumsy arm with mock contempt.
"Haha, yeah I know, I'll send over a limo. See you soon!" The line clicked to inform Yamamoto that Tsuna had hung up.
"Yamamoto!" Tsuna's warm honey brown eyes sparkled when he saw him. He leaped forth and wrapped his arms around the taller man, and smiled. "I'm so glad you're okay. You look good..." The brown haired man leaned back to examine the other.
"Hehe...you too Tuna! What was it you wanted to show me?" Tsuna's smile widened. "Come on, over here! He's so cute, you'll love him!" The brunette took Yamamoto by the hand and led him into a large room. Almost instantly Yamamoto's vision was filled with a flash of black, and something solid was shoved against his chest.
"Whoa!" The man overbalanced and sprawled onto the floor. He grabbed a nearby lamp pole and prepared to swing it at the attacker, only to freeze in his tracks.
A tall, lean man with jet black hair pinned Tsuna to the carpet by his wrists. At any different time, Yamamoto would have knocked the man clean off of his friend, except for one...small...nagging detail.
A long black feather duster sprouted from the raven haired man's rear end, and it wagged uncontrollably from side to side. Wait...it looked surprisingly like...a tail?
Now that he took a good look, the man wasn't assaulting Tsuna- but eagerly licking his face and neck.
"H-hey stop that! Hehe!" Tsuna was beaming and giggling like a child.
"Stupid- Master- If I wasn't so- Excited to- See you- I'd Bite you- To death!" The man said in between licks. His gray eyes danced with excitement, and a set of limp black ears flopped around on top of his head.
Yamamoto dropped the lamp in shock. Clunk. The sound of the lamp hitting the floor reminded Tsuna that there was another man in the room.
"O-oh...right. Yamamoto, this is Kyoya. Kyoya, my friend Yamamoto." Kyoya's eyes narrowed at the other man, and he pulled back his lips in a forced smile, revealing pointy canines.
"It's nice to meet you. If you hurt my master, I'll bite you to death." Yamamoto felt a chill run down his spine, but he cracked a smile nonetheless.
"Don't say stuff like that Kyoya!" Tsuna picked himself off the ground, and brushed off his jacket. He turned to Yamamoto. "Sorry, I still haven't trained him yet..."
Yamamoto grinned. "Haha, what the heck?"
"Yeah...I think I've got some explaining to do." Boy, do you ever.
A/N: During this part, Hibari's KIIINDDD of in character, but because he's still a dog, he can't control himself...^^; More explanation in the next chapter!
