"Good morning, Yamamoto!" Yamamoto grinned as he greeted the students that were entering the school. Morning practices made Yamamoto wake up early and go to school before Tsuna and Gokudera and there were times Yamamoto wanted to skip the practices just to be with his two best friends. But Tsuna would always come by and greet him through the bars, cheering and encouraging him. The look on Tsuna's face was enough to motivate Yamamoto. Even until now, he was waiting for Tsuna's smiling innocent face to greet him.
"Hey. Baseball-freak." Yamamoto looked back and smiled. Rushing towards the bar that separated the baseball team from the scowling Italian transfer student, Gokudera backed away as Yamamoto almost collided with the bars.
"'Morning, Gokudera." Yamamoto happily greeted and Gokudera covered his lips as he felt a blush coming up. Yamamoto blinked and looked around, "Where's Tsuna?"
Gokudera closed his eyes and Yamamoto saw him begin to tremble. Yamamoto looked at Gokudera seriously, "Did something happen to Tsuna?"
"The Tenth is… the Tenth is…" Gokudera clenched his fists and Yamamoto knew something was wrong.
"Is it Mafia related? Gokudera! What happened to Tsuna!?" Yamamoto yelled and his teammates all looked at them. They rarely see Yamamoto during his serious-mode and those times were only when something happened to Dame-Tsuna or to the silver-haired boy in front of them.
"The Tenth has... a fever…"
"He's WHAT!? Ah…" Yamamoto blinked and looked at Gokudera who was currently crying, "Oh."
"Oh?! That's all you can say, you stupid baseball freak?!" Gokudera yelled, rattling the bars that separated him from the said baseball-freak. Yamamoto sighed in relief.
"I thought something serious had happened to Tsuna. He's sick, okay… that's still okay." Yamamoto mumbled and his teammates started to think that Yamamoto was just trying to calm himself down. Gokudera twitched and glared at Yamamoto.
"Oy, baseball-freak. What do you mean it's okay? The Tenth is sick!" Gokudera yelled. Yamamoto grinned and patted Gokudera's head through the bars. Gokudera stiffened and Yamamoto grinned as a cute blush appeared on Gokudera's face.
"It'll be fine, Gokudera. Tsuna's not that weak." Yamamoto said. Gokudera frowned.
"Of course Tenth is not weak! But… but…" Yamamoto looked at Gokudera curiously as Gokudera tried to cover his flaming cheeks, "The Tenth just gets leaner and leaner. His shoulders aren't as broad as ours and he has really dainty fingers and- and-"
"Gokudera…" Yamamoto's eyes softened at Gokudera's concerned voice but a grin appeared on his face as he understood what Gokudera was saying, "Tsuna's looking more and more like a girl, huh?"
Gokudera glared at Yamamoto, "The Tenth does not look like a girl."
"But he is cuter than a real one, right?"
"He's not cuter! He's more beautiful!!" Gokudera shouted, earning them curious stares from every student in the vicinity. Yamamoto grinned and leaned in on the bars, his face inches away from Gokudera's. Gokudera couldn't move, couldn't breathe, as he stared intently at Yamamoto's chocolate eyes, so different from his Tenth's caramel ones.
"Gokudera…" Gokudera gulped and his eyes unconsciously closed. He could feel Yamamoto's warm breathe. He couldn't move and Yamamoto smiled mysteriously, "Gokudera."
Gokudera opened his eyes and saw Yamamoto grinning at him. Feeling embarrassed and opened, Gokudera looked away and kicked the bars. Yamamoto patted Gokudera's shoulder, "Maa, maa… calm down, Gokudera."
Gokudera growled at Yamamoto and Yamamoto scratched his cheek. Grinning like usual, Yamamoto asked, "Can I ask you to tell the teacher I'm leaving early?"
"What? Why w-"
"I'm going to visit Tsuna." Gokudera couldn't stop as something inside him stirred. Grabbing Yamamoto's shirt through the bars, Gokudera glared at him.
"If anyone should be with the Tenth, it should be his right-hand man." Gokudera dangerously hissed. Yamamoto smiled and held the hand that was currently clutching his shirt.
"As his right-hand man, shouldn't you try and help Tsuna by getting him notes? I mean, studying isn't really my or boss' frontier." Yamamoto reasoned, grinning at Gokudera. Gokudera looked away. As much as he wanted to deny it, the baseball-freak did have a good argument. Who else but the Tenth's right-hand help him with his studies? Yamamoto grinned and gently took Gokudera's hand away from his shirt. Gokudera could feel his face heat up as Yamamoto simply held his hand, grinning like an idiot as usual.
"Fine…" Gokudera glared at Yamamoto, "But if I hear that you made the Tenth sicker, I'll fucking blow you up."
Yamamoto nodded and squeezed Gokudera's hand briefly before releasing it. Gokudera frowned and he tried to stop the blush that was threatening to surface as he inwardly scolded himself for feeling a bit frustrated as Yamamoto let go of Gokudera's hand.
"Oy! Baseball-freak!!" Gokudera yelled as Yamamoto started to run out of the field. Gokudera scowled as Yamamoto didn't seem to hear him and shouted louder, "YAMAMOTO!!"
Yamamoto stopped and looked back at Gokudera. Gokudera looked at the ground as if it was the most interesting thing at the moment. Yamamoto had to strain his ears as Gokudera mumbled the next words, "Take a shower… first…"
Yamamoto looked at Gokudera for a moment before grinning. Yamamoto nodded and happily jogged towards the shower room. Gokudera sighed tiredly and made his way to their classroom. If it would help his precious Tenth, then Gokudera would happily do it. But he could not help but feel something inside him stir… boil… as his mind repeat the thought that the baseball-freak would be with his most precious Tenth. He opened the classroom door and glared at everyone who would look at his direction.
"FUCK!" Gokudera growled and kicked Yamamoto's sit. He couldn't help but be angry at Yamamoto… and jealous of the Tenth.

Irie took a deep breath, trying to calm his trembling hands. He started to walk towards the gate… and went passed it. Irie turned to a corner and sulked. He couldn't help it. Even if he did say that the nightmares have subdued, he still could not face the house that was the cause of Irie's nightmares. Irie's mind told him to run. And for a moment, Irie wondered why he wasn't running away in the first place. A quick glance at his hand reminded him why. Clutching the small paper bag with his trembling hands, Irie took a deep breath once more and walked towards the gates of the Sawada household. He stopped at the gate and tried to calm himself as he looked at the house.
'Sawada-san's room is… by that window…' Irie thought, looking intently at the window near the tree. Gulping, Irie took a trembling step forward.
"Yo!" Irie screamed and jumped three feet off the ground. Yamamoto blinked as Irie cowered to a wall away from him and the house. Grinning like usual, Yamamoto placed his hands on his pockets and asked, "Here to see Tsuna?"
Irie looked at Yamamoto curiously before taking out a notebook from his bag. Fumbling at the pages a bit, Irie finally found the page he had been looking for and mumbled, "Yamamoto Takeshi… baseball player and best friend number 2… Nicer than best friend number 1…"
Yamamoto chuckled, "I don't appreciate being called 'best friend number 2' though. I mean, Gokudera and I are in par when it comes to whose Tsuna's best friend."
Irie warily looked at Yamamoto and shyly shoved the paper bag to Yamamoto's hands. Yamamoto blinked and took the paper bag. Yamamoto looked inside and Irie blushed, "P-p-please give that to Sawada-san… It'll help… with the fever…"
Yamamoto tilted his head and looked at Irie curiously, "Paracetamol? Wouldn't aspirin work fine? I already bought some…"
Irie stared at Yamamoto, as if not believing what the baseball player just said. Yamamoto instinctively backed away as Irie walked towards him, glaring at Yamamoto, "Of course NOT! Sawada-san cannot take aspirin!"
"Eh?" Yamamoto blinked and Irie frowned.
"Are you not supposed to be Sawada-san's best friend number 2?"
"Like I said… I'm neither number 1 nor number 2." Yamamoto said and Irie growled.
"That's beside the point, Yamamoto-san!" Yamamoto flinched as Irie began to stare at him threateningly, "Listen carefully. You must… you MUST NOT give Sawada-san aspirin. No matter what happens, do NOT GIVE Sawada-san aspirin. Do I make myself clear?"
Yamamoto nodded dumbly and Irie, seemingly content with his answer, backed away from the baseball player. Irie sighed and looked at Tsuna's window, a longing look present in his youthful face. Yamamoto observed Irie for a while and grinned, "Would you like to go inside?"
Irie blushed and looked at Yamamoto, "I-I-I don't want to impose…"
"What're you talking about?" Irie couldn't help his surprise as Yamamoto hook his arm on Irie's shoulder. Yamamoto gave him a grin, "You seem to really care for Tsuna. There's no reason for you to think you'll be imposing."
Irie shyly smiled and looked at Yamamoto, "Y-you think so?"
Yamamoto's grin widened and he nodded. Irie smiled gratefully and was about to enter the house when they heard a sweet voice call Yamamoto, "Yamamoto-san?"
Yamamoto and Irie looked back and Yamamoto grinned as he saw Chrome, Ken and Chigusa walking towards them, "Hey, Chrome."
Chrome bowed at Yamamoto in greeting and blinked as she noticed Irie. Yamamoto grinned at Ken and Chigusa, "You guys here to visit Tsuna?"
"W-w-why would we want to visit Bunny-chan?!" Ken stuttered and covered his mouth as he had instinctively used his secret pet name to Tsuna.
"Oh! Actually, I wanted to give Boss this." Chrome said, handing Yamamoto a paper bag. Yamamoto blinked as he looked inside.
"Umm… Chrome… why do you have our uniform?" Yamamoto couldn't help but ask. Yamamoto was surprised to see Chrome actually grinning.
"I thought Boss might need it so I borrowed it from Kyoko-chan." Chrome said. Yamamoto was even more surprised to see Chrome pouting, "Hibari-san must be disappointed…"
Yamamoto scratched the back of his head. Speaking of which, did Hibari even know that Tsuna was sick? Even if he did, he'll still be at school because… well… it is Hibari. Chrome looked back at Irie and frowned. Where have she seen him before? Silence enveloped them as Yamamoto couldn't think of anything to say to Chrome, Chrome was staring intently at Irie, Ken was still cowering in the corner, embarrassed at what he said, and Irie was trying his best not to look at Chrome at the moment. Chigusa sighed and handed a basket of fruits to Yamamoto.
"We just wanted to drop this for Vongola." Chigusa emotionlessly said. Yamamoto blinked and took the basket from Chigusa.
"That's nice… but you usually give this to someone in a hospital…" Yamamoto commented. Ken growled and glared at Yamamoto.
"Shut up and just accept it, damn it!" Ken ordered. Yamamoto grinned and nodded.
"I'll tell Tsuna." Yamamoto said, earning a blush from Ken. Chigusa merely nodded and began to walk away. Ken was about to follow but looked back as he realized that Chrome has yet to move, staring intently at Irie.
Ken narrowed his eyes and shouted, "What the hell are you waiting for, stupid woman?!"
Chrome blinked and looked at Ken and then back to Irie. Irie looked away as Chrome narrowed her eye, leaning in. It took a while before Chrome finally remembered. Chrome pointed at Irie, "Ah! Photograph-san!"
All the boys blinked and looked at Irie. Irie began to blush and looked away. Chrome smiled and gratefully bowed, "Thank you for those pictures the other day."
"Pictures?" Yamamoto asked. Irie blushed and backed away.
"T-t-tha-that's-!" All of them blinked as Chrome was suddenly replaced by a smirking Mukuro. Irie tilted his head; where did the girl go to? Irie gasped as Mukuro pulled him into a friendly hug. All of them looked at Mukuro with a slacked jaw.
"Can you print me those pictures as well?" Mukuro whispered. Irie blushed and pushed Mukuro away. Irie blushed and glared at Mukuro.
"N-N-No!!" Irie shouted, suddenly grabbing something in his pocket. Mukuro frowned.
"Why not? You gave my Chrome a copy." Mukuro whined. Irie glared at Mukuro.
"You're one of those people!" Irie shook his head, "I won't give Sawada-san's pictures to someone like YOU!!"
Mukuro stared at Irie for a minute before smiling like usual, "Well then…"
"I'll just take everything." Irie's eyes widened as Mukuro took out his trident. Irie knew that he was in trouble. Backing away, Irie stared at Mukuro.
"AHHHHH!!" All of them blinked as Irie screamed, running away from the pineapple-headed Kokuyo student. They actually thought Irie would try and fight Mukuro.
"Wait, Camera-kun!!" Mukuro yelled, chasing after Irie.
"I HAVE A NAME!!" Irie shouted back as he dashed to the corner.
"MUKURO-SAN!!" Ken yelled as well, chasing after Mukuro like a dog. Chigusa and Yamamoto stared as the three boys turned to a corner, leaving the premises of the Sawada household. Yamamoto chuckled softly and grinned at Chigusa.
"What's up with them?" Yamamoto asked Chigusa. Chigusa shrugged and began walking towards the direction the three boys dashed to. Chigusa stopped and bowed slightly to Yamamoto before turning to a corner. Yamamoto blinked and grinned, scratching his cheek. Shrugging, Yamamoto rang the doorbell.
"Yes…" the front door opened and Yamamoto smiled as Tsuna's mother, Nana, greeted him with a smile, "Ara, Take-kun!"
Yamamoto bowed and grinned at Nana, "I heard that Tsuna got sick so…"
Nana's smile grew and she grinned at Yamamoto, "Well then, don't just stand there. Come in."
Yamamoto nodded and went inside. He took off his shoes and Nana continued to smile at him sweetly, "I'm so sorry you have to come here when you have school. I mean, just for Tsu-kun… you-"
Nana couldn't finish her sentence as Yamamoto smiled softly. Yamamoto shook his head and told Nana, "There are more important things than school."
Nana blinked for a while before smiling sweetly at the boy, "I see."
Yamamoto glanced on his hands and remembered. Smiling at Nana, he presented the offering he received a minute ago, "It's a bag of fruits and some medicine. I was told that it would help Tsuna."
Nana opened the bag and smiled, nodding gratefully, "Yes it would. Tsu-kun can't take the side effects of aspirin that's why we give him Ace."
"Ace?" Yamamoto blinked his eyes. Nana giggled.
"Acetaminophen." Nana clarified, "It's nicer just to say 'Ace' so we called it 'Ace'. Did Tsu-kun tell you that he can't take aspirin?"
Yamamoto shook his head, "A boy with glasses told me. And isn't that called paracetamol?"
"Ara! You mean Irie-kun?" Nana said, not even minding the other comment Yamamoto made. Yamamoto's eyes widened at the name.
"Irie? Irie Shouichi!!" Yamamoto shouted. Nana blinked and nodded. Yamamoto clenched his fists. He had met with the man responsible for the death of Tsuna ten years from now?
Nana smiled and said, "I've been seeing him lately. He seemed to want to talk to Tsu-kun but is just too shy to say anything."
"Oh…" Yamamoto looked away. Were they going to the same direction as that of the future that they saw?
'No. I won't let him die. I won't let Tsuna die.'
"We were out of Ace so I asked Bianchi to buy some since I have to also take care of the kids." Nana continued telling Yamamoto. Yamamoto shook his head briefly. He'll have to talk to Reborn as well.
Yamamoto nodded and grinned at Nana once more, "Nana-san really cares about Tsuna."
Nana placed her hands on her waist, "Mama… Call me mama, Take-kun."
Yamamoto blushed and scratched the back of his head. With an embarrassed smile, Yamamoto said, "M… mama…"
Nana seemed pleased and nodded, ushering Yamamoto to go upstairs, "Well then. Why don't you stay with Tsu-kun while I prepare some soup so that he can take his medicine?"
"Okay… but… is the kid around?" Yamamoto asked, looking at Nana. Nana blinked.
"You mean Reborn-kun?" Nana asked, earning a nod from Yamamoto. Nana smiled softly, "I'm so sorry, Take-kun. Reborn-kun just boarded a flight yesterday for Italy. He said he needed to talk to that kind old man."
"The N-Ninth?" Yamamoto whispered. Yamamoto's face grew serious. Something was definitely up. Noticing that change of character, Nana smiled at Yamamoto and urged him once more.
"Now, now... you shouldn't keep Tsuna waiting." Nana said, smiling at Yamamoto. Yamamoto smiled and nodded, going up the stairs. Yamamoto opened the door and saw Tsuna lying on the bed, breathing evenly. Yamamoto cautiously sat on the pillow that was near Tsuna's bed and gently caressed Tsuna's forehead. Tsuna's eyes opened weakly and Yamamoto grinned sheepishly.
"Did I wake you up?" Yamamoto asked. Tsuna smiled weakly.
"You should be at school..." Tsuna softly scolded, earning a real grin from Yamamoto.
"Well... you should be sleeping." Yamamoto replied. Tsuna frowned and weakly grabbed the hand that was still on his forehead.
"What about baseball? Don't you have an afternoon practice?" Tsuna asked. Yamamoto's grin changed to a soft smile and he softly grabbed Yamamoto's hand.
"I can skip once in a while." Yamamoto said. Tsuna frowned and shook his head.
"No. You shouldn't." Tsuna scolded, earning a raised eyebrow from Yamamoto. Tsuna squeezed Yamamoto's hand.
"It's your dream isn't it? To be able to play in the Puro Yakyu?"
"you mean NPB?" Tsuna weakly nodded, his eyes watering.
"I'm sorry... I got you mixed up in all of these." Tsuna apologized. Yamamoto's eyes softened and he firmly grasped Tsuna's weak hand. Tsuna closed his eyes, "Being in the mafia, being the rain guardian, having to fight and risk your life... I'm sorry. If you haven't met me I-"
"Tsuna." Tsuna opened his eyes and was surprised to see Yamamoto looking at him seriously. Yamamoto took Tsuna's hand and placed it by his cheek. Tsuna blushed and Yamamoto only smiled softly.
"I never regretted it. I never regretted meeting you... or Gokudera. I... I... I can't imagine my life without you guys." Yamamoto admitted, closing his eyes as he leaned on Tsuna's hand. Tsuna's eyes softened.
"Yamamoto..." Tsuna closed his eyes and a tear fell from his right eye, "I'm sorry. I'm just being a burden to you guys."
Yamamoto shook his head and rubbed his cheek against Tsuna's hand. Using his other hand, Yamamoto gently touched Tsuna's cheek, wiping the tears that dared fall from Tsuna's eyes, "You're not a burden, Tsuna. You're my sky."
Tsuna blinked at Yamamoto's words and Yamamoto grinned as Tsuna's sad eyes was replaced by confusion. Yamamoto ruffled Tsuna's hair playfully, "Tsuna... I'm suppose to be your rain guardian remember?"
Tsuna nodded and Yamamoto smiled softly, "Whenever you feel down, or you have a problem you just can't seem to find the answer to, just see me. Just talk to me. I'll gently wash it all away."
"But if your problem is about school, then we'll have to take it to Gokudera." Yamamoto added, grinning once more. Tsuna blinked before grinning weakly. There was a knock on the door and Nana opened it, smiling at the two boys.
"Tsu-kun, eat some soup and take the medicine Take-kun brought for you." Nana said, placing the tray on Tsuna's bed. Tsuna tiredly sat and blinked as he saw her mother briskly walked by the door once more, "I'll leave you two alone then. Oh, and please take care of my son, Take-kun."
"Huh? Um... okay..." Tsuna blushed as he realized what his mother meant by those words. Shaking his head and flailing his arms with all the strength he could gather, Tsuna yelled at his mother.
"Mom! We're not like that!! We're just friends!!" Tsuna yelled and covered his red face, "And if Hibari-san was to hear that..."
Yamamoto blinked and the mention of Hibari's name made him understand what Tsuna meant. Yamamoto looked back at Nana and grinned, "Tsuna and I do not have that kind of relationship. We're more like... brothers, right?"
Tsuna nodded furiously. Yamamoto continued to grin at Nana and said, "I do care about Tsuna and I would do all that I can to make sure that he will be alright but we're nothing like that. Tsuna already has Hibari anyway.'
Nana looked at Yamamoto and then back at Tsuna, "Hibari? Who's Hibari?"
Yamamoto's eyes widened and he looked at Tsuna, "You haven't told her?"
Tsuna shook his head and began to eat the soup before it would cool down. Nana skipped at Tsuna's bed, "Ne, ne, Tsu-kun, who's Hibari? Is it a girl in your class? Or maybe-"
Tsuna drank the soup in one gulp and winced as he burned his tongue slightly. He ate a pill and drank the water on his tray. Pushing the tray to Nana's hands, "Thank you for the food. It was delicious."
Nana smiled and took the tray, "Then you should rest, Tsu-kun."
Tsuna nodded and laid on the bed once more. Nana walked towards the door and looked back, "Tsu-kun, once you get better, you'll have to tell everything about your mystery girl."
Tsuna blushed and pulled his covers up. Nana closed the door and Yamamoto couldn't contain it anymore. Tsuna frowned as Yamamoto began to laugh, "Yamamoto..."
"H-H-Hibari is a... mystery girl!!" Yamamoto laughed out loud. Tsuna threw a pillow at Yamamoto and Yamamoto caught it, grinning at Tsuna, "Why didn't you tell her about Hibari?"
Tsuna blushed and looked at Yamamoto shyly, "Be... cause... I can't. Not until I know what sort of relationship we have..."
Yamamoto scratched his cheek, "But aren't you guys... you know..."
Tsuna looked at Yamamoto, obviously not sure what the baseball player meant. Yamamoto grinned and went closer to Tsuna, "Aren't you guys... doing it?"
Tsuna's face went from feverish-red to got-dumped-by-red-paint-red. Covering his face, Tsuna shook his head furiously. Yamamoto blinked and tilted his head, "Really? I thought... well, knowing Hibari's personality..."
Tsuna continued to shook his head and Yamamoto grinned, ruffling Tsuna's hair, "Sorry... My bad."
Tsuna pouted at Yamamoto and Yamamoto rubbed his head, "I just assumed 'cause Chrome wanted to give you this."
Tsuna's eyes widened as Yamamoto showed him a Namimori Girl uniform. Tsuna covered his face once more and shook his head furiously again. Yamamoto chuckled and he put the paper bag by the bed. Yamamoto's eyes grew serious as he remembered the boy that was most probably still being chased by the Kokuyo gang.
"Tsuna... I met Irie Shouichi." Yamamoto said. Tsuna looked up and his eyes softened as he noticed the look Yamamoto had on his face.
"Yamamoto... please don't hate Irie-kun." Tsuna pleaded softly, taking Yamamoto's hand once more. Yamamoto gently squeezed Tsuna's hand and looked away.
"But... he was the whole reason why you're de-"
"Yamamoto." Tsuna whispered. Yamamoto looked back at Tsuna and Tsuna smiled, "That future is gone, remember? The Irie-kun that I met on my second visit to the future is... nicer."
Yamamoto sighed and turned his back from Tsuna. He continued to hold Tsuna's hand as he leaned on the bed, "If you say so... boss."
Tsuna pouted as Yamamoto grinned at Tsuna, "Mou, Yamamoto..."
Yamamoto leaned his cheek on Tsuna's hand, "You should go to sleep, Tsuna."
Tsuna nodded and closed his eyes, "When I wake up, will you still be here?"
Yamamoto grinned, "As long as you want me to. Everything you tell me, I'll do it."
Tsuna smiled softly, "Then... can Yamamoto make his dream come true."
Yamamoto smiled softly as well, "Can I tell you my real dream, Tsuna?"
"Mmm." Tsuna mumbled, weakly nodding his head as sleep tempted him to slumber. Yamamoto smiled and squeezed Tsuna's hand softly.
"I dream... of a future where I can be with you and Gokudera." Yamamoto whispered. A moment of silence passed and Yamamoto looked back at Tsuna, "Tsuna?"
Yamamoto smiled as Tsuna was soundly asleep. Yamamoto smiled and kissed Tsuna's hand before turning his head by the window, "Can I stay like this for a while, Hibari?"
Hibari appeared from the tree and jumped stealthily inside Tsuna's room. With narrowed eyes, he stared at Yamamoto, "Yamamoto Takeshi..."
"No?" Hibari sighed and walked towards Tsuna's bed, sitting on it. Yamamoto grinned and leaned in, "I'll take it that it's okay."
Hibari caressed Tsuna's cheek and Tsuna erupted into a smile, leaning towards Hibari, "Hibari-san..."
Yamamoto observed them in silence before erupting into a grin, "You know, Hibari... you remind me of your future self."
Hibari frowned and looked back at Yamamoto, "Of course I would, Yamamoto Takeshi. I am him."
Yamamoto shook his head, "That's not what I meant, Hibari. I just meant... you're aura seemed to have changed. It reminds me of the Hibari I met in the future."
"And what aura am I projecting, Yamamoto Takeshi." Hibari inquired, his hand continuing to soothe Tsuna.
"How can I say it... It seems like your aura is lonelier now. Like you lost something..." Yamamoto tried to explain. Hibari looked at Yamamoto with a surprised look before smiling softly, turning his attention at Tsuna.
"I see you are not naïve as they make you, Yamamoto Takeshi." Hibari said. Yamamoto grinned and leaned back on the bed. Hibari's eyes grew serious and he mumbled soft enough that Yamamoto did not hear it, "I won't lose you... again..."
