Bite Me (Hibari)

Hibari was a formidable man and by far the scariest of the guardians in Haru's book. She had decided to make it her life goal to never be afraid of him... a resolution still in the works.

She knew he had his problems and she understood that he didn't like being around people a lot. She also knew that he wouldn't do anything unnecessary although what seemed necessary to him varied with his mood so often nobody could quite keep up.

That aside, he was the strongest of the Vongola Guardians save for Tsuna and could snap her neck easily if he decided. She hoped he never found that a necessity. So far so good, but even though her resolve was strong, she couldn't help quivering a little at the prospect of meeting him again.

It was her own fault anyway.

She was already so flustered at Gokudera's behaviour the previous night and Yamamoto's forwardness the day before that so she hoped that her barely-held-together-terror would jolt her out of it. She held Hibari's lunch box in her hands hoping that he wasn't asleep. Even if he was, she reminded herself, he wouldn't do anything particularly unnecessary. She wouldn't be afraid of him. She absolutely would not fear him.

She opened the door to the rooftop where he liked to sleep and looked around. She found him on the other side of the stairwell. She watched the slow rise and fall of his chest and took a deep breath. He was asleep, but that could easily change in a matter of moments.

"Hibari-san," she whispered from a safe distance. He didn't stir. Biting her lip, she moved closer still.

"Hibari-san... I have your bento..."

Still nothing. Clearing her throat, she moved closer still, just barely out of his arm's reach.

"Nee, Hibari-san, you forgot your..."

One of his eyes opened and met hers. She stopped cold. He sat up turning away from her and then got up. She swallowed hard. She had heard the horror stories about those who had dared to wake Hibari up. His tonfa gleamed from behind his coat and she wondered what exactly about this man was NOT going to frighten her.

"Herbivore," he said clearly enough for her to hear.

"A... ano... you left your lunch this morning and... and..."

"You know I don't like to be disturbed while I sleep," he said taking one step towards her, a gleam coming to his eye. She willed herself to stand where she was but it seemed that her feet had no interest in listening to her. She retreated as he advanced and somehow ended up pressed against the wall of the stairwell.

"I'm... I'm sorry, I just... I just wanted to give you..."

"I wonder, shall I entertain myself with you instead?"

He took the bento from her hands and she heard it land somewhere to her side.

"Haru is really sorry! Haru will never wake up Hibari-san again. Please don't kill Haru. Haru was just trying to give Hibari-san his bento..."

"Quiet herbivore, you're too noisy."

Haru nodded over-eagerly in compliance.

Hibari smirked and put one hand on her waist. Haru coloured immediately and began to panic. What was she going to do? Fighting Hibari was futile.

His gaze bore into hers. She couldn't look away if she tried. The carnivorous look in his eyes made her wary, wondering what he would do to her if she wasn't watching him the whole time. She did manage to catch the brief glance he took at her lips before he leaned in a lot closer. She shut her eyes and waited for whatever punishment she was going to get for waking him up.

"You're afraid of me," he said rather close to her ear, "clever herbivore." She squeaked in reply when his other hand touched her cheek. It was only to move some hair behind her ear though. Her nerves were all on full alert. Her heart hammered in her chest and she wondered vaguely if he could hear it. Then his head dipped and she felt his warm lips touch her neck.

Her eyes flew open. What on earth was he doing? Was this the punishment he'd had in mind? She had tensed up and he had noticed.

"Don't move," he murmured and held her wrist. She would have sputtered at that and fought him off anyway if his lips hadn't returned to her neck and licked it. Much as her better judgement warned her to fight him off, something deep in her conscience refused to acknowledge it.

He kissed her neck again and again and Haru was only vaguely aware of how bad this looked; how bad it would look if somebody else was there to see...

But there's nobody else here...

It was a wicked thought, she knew, but somehow, the strength to resist had been sapped from her. That and the fact that nobody would really want to fight off Hibari seemed to only add to her reluctance to fight. Then he did something that made her eyes fly open again, also making her realise that they had been shut in the first place.

He bit her.

It wasn't a hard bite. It would probably leave no mark either, but it had certainly startled her. She made a small noise in protest. Then she heard him chuckle and he kissed her neck once more and pulled away to look at her.

"Don't bother me again, herbivore, I won't be so nice next time."

He picked up the almost forgotten bento and walked away with it in his hands. Haru watched him leave and wondered what was happening to her. Her fingers trembled slightly as she touched the place on her neck where he had kissed her; where he had bitten her.

She hadn't hated it so very much...

What was wrong with her? Crazy as it would seem, could Hibari really be the one who had kissed her?

*.*.*.*.*.*.*

Hibari stopped inside the stairwell door. Her skin had been delicate and satin smooth as he had always thought it would be. Perhaps he had been too forward and he may have scared her a little, but he hadn't wanted to stop himself, continuously daring himself to see just how far he could go without her fighting him.

He wasn't the only contender for her affections and even so, he wasn't sure he wanted it known that he was one. The others would just have to bite the cold steel of his tonfa until they got it into their very thick skulls that Hibari Kyoya was not going to share.

At the end of it all, she would have to make the decision herself. It would be rather troublesome if she didn't pick him however, he thought with another smirk.
