Chapter Four

Tsuna was beginning to get really nervous. It had been two days since Hibari disappeared and no one even knew where. He was injured and then he vanished, and Tsuna's intuition already told him that Reborn had something to do with this.

"Reborn…" murmured Tsuna, frowning, "Don't do anything stupid… and definitely don't let Hibari-san get hurt…"

Ryo was watching from the shadows, examining Tsuna and all of the other guardians carefully and stealthily, so much so none of them even noticed he was there, not even the Arcobaleno and the very sharp senses.

After watching them for a little while, Ryo decided to go check up on his son. He had watched the Infant get Hibari out of the Vongola hospital through the middle of the night and then head for the mountains, where obviously his sons training was going to take place.

Peering over from a nearby tree, he watched the skylark's moves carefully, memorizing them in his head.

"No matter what, I won't let anyone beat me… not even my own son…" thought Ryo, watching Hibari getting knocked to the ground and skidding until he hit a wall.

"You're not trying, Hibari." Said Reborn seriously, "You really want to defeat your father with that kind of attitude?"

"Shut up Infant…" growled Hibari, getting back to his feet as quickly as he could before rubbing the dust off his face. It was viciously scraped and covered in cuts, but Hibari paid it no attention. He then charged towards the sun Arcobaleno, his Tonfa's getting deflected easily but this time he was then able to dodge.

"His speed is increasing…" noted Ryo, frowning, "He's already faster than I anticipated, but… if he can go faster than he could originally… it could lead to problems…"

With that Ryo sneaked off once more, sprinting down the mountain without stopping once for a breather. He was, after all, once in the famous Vongola Assassination Group, Varia.

"Maa Maa." Said Yamamoto as cheerful as he could, although the air around him was full of tension. He slung his arm round Gokudera's shoulders, who didn't even notice as he just stared at Tsuna worriedly. "I'm sure Hibari's just gone out somewhere, or-"

"But that's the thing Yamamoto…" said Tsuna, his head bowed so his bangs covered his face, "If Hibari went outside, the chance of his Father finding him is too high, and since we haven't managed to find him for over two days I think it's safe to assume something has happened. Even Reborn has gone off somewhere so he can't help us."

"Judaime, I think you're looking too into it-!" Gokudera was stopped as Colonello leapt onto his shoulder and the shot Tsuna a glare.

"Have faith in your guardian, Kora!" said Colonello, his voice steeled, "this is Hibari we're talking about, Kora!"

Of course, he and both Lal and Fong knew where Hibari was, they just weren't allowed to say anything on his whereabouts.

"Besides, you have to let the boy have some room to himself…" said Fong, calmly and quietly.

"This is why I hate people who are soft!" spat Lal, glaring at Tsuna, "Get your act back together! If you want to help your cloud guardian then start training!"

Tsuna looked up at Lal, his honey caramel eyes looking at her as if to say 'I know you know where he is'. Colonello looked towards Fong who nodded in agreement. It seems the Vongola Decimo wasn't as naïve as some people make him out to be.

"In any case…" said Yamamoto after a moment of thought, we better move before we get in trouble by sensei."

True enough, they were now in the school, hoping Hibari had returned here but he had not. They were meant to be in maths class right now so if any of the teachers caught them here…

The thought of it just made them shiver, especially if there were the strangest of strange teachers there.

Nami looked around and smiled lightly at the lazy attitude of the Cavallone family. She could tell they were mostly suffering from jetlag and that soon enough they would be back up to speed. Out of politeness, she had tidied up and cleaned around the mansion, even though Romario had told her numerous times that she really didn't need to, she couldn't help it.

Dino was lying on a sofa, his eyes drooped. He appeared to be exhausted.

"Dino-san?" she questioned hesitantly, a duster in her hand. He looked over and raised an eyebrow.

"Didn't Romario tell you not to clean up…?"

"H-Hai…" said Nami uncertainly, "But I'm used to tidying up so for me not to tidy up is just… well, strange for me."

Dino nodded and closed his eyes fully, sighing. Lunch would be in an hour or so… so he could get around an hours rest. Nami let out a smile and then continued her dusting until she came across a photo that made her smile. In it was the Infant that brought her here, Dino, the brunette boy known as Tsunayoshi-kun and of course, her son, Kyoya.

"That photo wasn't taken long ago…" murmured Dino sleepily, his eyes still closed, "around two months ago at most…"

Nami beamed at him. Her son socialized more than she had thought, it made her quite happy actually. She wiped the small coating of dust on it before carrying on, and then she came across one with a lot of people in it, Hibari standing right at the back stroking Hibird quite happily. Tsuna was at the front toppled over as a silvernette had a panicked expression on his face as he tried to pick him up. There was a girl with purple hair and then another boy who stood behind her, eyes closed in a mid chuckle. Then there was Reborn, who sat perched on a boy's shoulder as he practised swinging a bat and then there was Dino, who was in a war with Romario over taking the whip away when taking a photo.

Such a simple photo full of life. It was one of those rare photos that were hard to find.

"Dino-san?" said Nami, looking towards him while holding the photo.

"Hm…?" mumbled Dino, half stirred from his nap.

"Can I have this photo?" questioned Nami. Dino wasn't even paying attention and just nodded as Nami beamed at him before taking the photo out of its frame and pocketing it.

Ryo treaded carefully on the grounds, but it doesn't seem to be that he was noticed. Walking along the Cavallone's Japanese estate, he peered through a window and smirked as he saw his wife eat with the renowned Mafia family, completely oblivious to his presence. As he watched her, he watched her smile, beam and laugh joyfully, something she never really done around him and if she ever did, it was totally forced.

Still watching, she saw the woman get to her feet and bow before exiting the room, skipping. Watching through the windows, he saw her walk up the stairs and turn right. Stupid mafia family's building had too many windows in it.

Jumping onto the roof, he then peered through another window and then saw Nami sit down on a bed, looking at a photo quite happily. Slipping through, Nami still remained oblivious to Ryo's presence until she felt a hand clamp over her mouth.

"Nami's being a bad girl, hmm….?" Questioned Ryo, sneering slightly. Nami made a muffled sound as she dropped the photo, which Ryo looked at immediately. His attention was drawn to his son, who was standing with a hidden happy expression on his face as he petted that god damn bird. Speaking of the bird-

Ryo looked up and the saw Hibird perched on a shelf in the room, a camera and recorder attached to it's leg.

"Ah… so you already know I'm here, Kyoya…"

Hibari was sprinting, faster than Reborn had anticipated when he noticed the sudden change. The Arcobaleno had noticed the small earpiece in his ear, but never actually asked what it was for, but now he new it was obviously something important, considering how fast the skylark was sprinting.

Jumping and landing on Hibari's shoulder, Reborn frowned as he paid no heed to it. That was a sure sign that something was wrong.

"Damn that bastard Herbivore…" growled Hibari lowly in his head, "I should have known he would have done something like this…"
