Babysitter, New Partners/Powers, and a Visit

After that little incident with Gokudera, Kou couldn't help but feel that he said something to Tsuna. Seeing that he kept glancing at her every now and then didn't help either. It wasn't as if she was trying to avoid them after that situation. She was just a really, really busy person after all. Kyoya had been keeping her busy with the Committee paper work, checking the school surroundings to make sure it wasn't ruined, and if she found people who were breaking the rules or just wouldn't go back to class then she just gave them a good few wedgies from hell as a persuasion.

The girl slumped forward on her desk, sporting a headache. Kou had crammed all the lessons and homework she had missed out on because of the Committee. Not only that, Kyoya had seen her 'punishment' to those who were ditching, which didn't end well on the ditchers or her side. Skylark didn't even bat an eye as he beat the people do death and gave her one hell of a hit to the head. 'Ugh, I swear Kyoya, if I didn't have a good restraint on my anger you'd be six feet under already. But I don't want to go to jail so I'll pass.' She sighed, letting her cheek rest against the cold desk top.

That Nezu bastard of a teacher finally understood not to bother her when she was resting. He was a thick headed person to not realize that she was in the committee, which gave her a valid reason to miss some of the classes and hand in late work. Not only that, it took a while to persuade him for letting her rest, curtsy of her older brother, of course. Pfft, she wasn't that violent to threaten a teacher yet, the best she could warn them when they were on thin ice was just glaring at them, and that did seem to do the trick. After all, who would want someone sleeping during their job?

Slowly closing her eyes to sleep peacefully, her classmates began to whisper. The whispers began to become louder and louder, until they sounded like they were on their break. If it weren't for a familiar wail to a certain fish in the class, she would have stood up from her seat, and yell at them to be quiet. Lazily, she rolled her head to her other cheek to see what was going on. Lo and behold, a wailing Lambo near the door with Tsuna next to him. Kou raised a brow as he mentioned something about peeing…again. 'I'm sure this doesn't happen twice. Is my memory failing me now? That's just fantastic.' Kou scowled at herself from using a sarcastic remark, she's been doing that a lot more now. At least it was fun to use on people, not on herself.

Kou continued to watch the scene before her unfold. She didn't know if she should pity Lambo or Tsuna. The brunette was already embarrassed as their classmates had brought up the first time the 'cow kid' had done this in the exact way. It didn't make either one of them feel better as Lambo cried more, Tsuna blushed from embracement, and took off with the kid. The girl just shook her head into the desk, rolling her eyes at the students actions.

Nezu had tried to calm his students down so they could continue the lesson, only to be ignored by said students and treat it as a free period. There was a slow but surely growing tick mark on Kou's forehead. She would have loved to just leave the room, head to the rooftop, and sleep. But she knew that would set a bad example for the Disciplinary Committee, so she did the next best thing. Kou stood up from her seat, slamming her open hand onto her desk, making all the students jump from the sudden sound. "All of you shut up and continue working or I will personally send you to the Reception Room one. By. One. Got it?" She hissed out, glaring at everyone in the class. "Good." With that, Kou sat down in her seat once again and got comfortable. "Oh, wake me up and I will deal with you. In the end, you'll probably be begging to deal with Kyoya over me any day." Her threat was muffled but everyone heard it. Shivers went down everyone's back as she smiled, finally getting some rest. Oh, if only it could last forever.

Kou had the pleasure of being awoken by someone being a little too close to her face. They should have counted themselves lucky for her not jumping back, kicking the desk up to hit their face, and sending them out the window that was just so innocently open. Yet, Kyoya would get pissed at her if she were to hurt the boy- er… man (?) in front of her that moment. Kusakabe just kept his expression the same, even though he wanted to chuckle at the girl. She had half a glare mix in with a pout going on; obviously upset that she couldn't get more sleep and/or couldn't do anything to the said person who disturbed it. "Kou-San," said girl cringed at the honorific. "Kyoya-San would like to see you." Seeing her not moving, he sighed. "Immediately, Kou-San." Hearing a Hibari like grunt coming for the little one, he left the room, knowing that she was right behind him -slowly then usual since she had just woken up.

When they entered the Reception Room, Kou was fumbling everywhere, yawing softly and rubbing her eye. "Okay, I'm here. What do you want, Mr. Slave-Driver?" Lazily, she tilted her head to the left, letting the flying tonfa hit the poor door behind her. "Jeez, calm down." Kou pulled the tonfa out of the door, tossing it back to her brother who just grunted with a glare. Taking a deep breath, Kou instantly woke up completely, looking at her brother with a half-hearted glare. "Alright. Down to business, Kyo-Nii. What work do you want me to do today? More paperwork about some damages done on school property? Getting information on someone? Or just look around the school to make sure it hasn't be vandalized?" She knew the way how he worked things. It was what he decided her to do that she never knew.

"Hn." Kyoya leaned forward, his elbows on the table while his hands laced together, letting his chin rest on them. "There is no paperwork for today and I don't need any information on someone yet. Go around the school and make sure nothing is wrong." Kou nodded her head, ready to turn around and leave. "And if I don't see you giving the proper punishment to anyone who dares defile the school then you will be receiving it." The skylark growled at her.

She was close to just popping him the special finger reserved for dickwads. Instead, she turned on her heel, and began to make her way out of the accursed room. When she opened the door, one foot out the door, she looked over at him with a bored expression before it was turned into something close to mischievous. "Don't worry birdie~ I won't let anything happen to your precious nest. And I would be so looking forward to that 'punishment'." She cackled aloud, slamming the door close as she had seen Kyoya getting ready to throw his tonfas at herm missing the complete shocked face on Kusakabe. There was something that sounded like it had hit the door with an all mighty force. Kou looked back over her shoulder to see the ends of both of her brothers' Tonfas sticking out of the poor wooden door. 'Ah, you poor, poor, unfortunate door. I knew thee well.'

On her way on checking the school grounds, she was sure that she had heard Lambo's wails. Which soon was accompanied by a small explosion. Kou was debating on seeing what the hell they were doing but shrugged it off as it began to go silent. It didn't last long as the wail became louder than before. And then there was another voice accompanying it. She raised a brow, now intently on finding out just what was going on to cause so much noise. The moment she walked onto the spot, she had seen adult Lambo getting hit in the head with his own horn. The only people who reacted was Tsuna and Takeshi; mostly Takeshi since he knew he was at fault.

She stepped out from her spot, looking at every one with wide eyes. "I didn't think you guys would pick on someone. How mean." They looked at her with the same wide eyes, only Tsuna was flailing his arms around. "I usually would ask about what was going on, but this time, I just don't want to know." The raven head shook her head and was about to leave until she felt arms being wrapped around her. Looking down, she seen adult Lambo still on his knees, crying away as he held on. Everyone held their breaths, from what they knew, she never seen adult Lambo so it could end up badly. Except, she just blinked, still looking down at the figure. "Lambo-Chan, what are you doing? What exactly did these bullies do this time?" She asked with a little exasperated in her tone.

Said teenager just looked up at her, tears still going down his face, along with snot. She had to resist the urge to push him away then and there. "Kou-Nee! They keep hurting me! I thought young Haru would recognized me but she slapped me and called me a pervert! T-Then Bakadera was bullying me about my necklace!" His wailing became louder each second as he mentioned what the 'bullies' did to him. "A-And then Yamamoto threw my horn at me…AND I'M BLEEDING! WAAAAAHHHHHH!" And cue the full blown wailing/holding onto whatever was close -namely Kou.

Said girl frowned, her wide eyes turned to a full blown glare immediately as she looked over to the group. All of them froze and paled as her glare seem to radiate a deadly aura, the two people who weren't affected by it was Reborn and Lambo. With a sigh, her glare faltered, her hand digging into the jacket pocket. "It's alright, Lambo-Chan. I'm sure that Haru-San didn't mean to do such a thing, she just didn't know who you were at the time, that's all. And Takeshi just get's into his zone when he throws things, remember that next time, okay?" Finding what she need, she patted the teenager's head gently. "As for Gokudera-Kun, well, you two don't get along very well so that was expected." Lambo looked up at her, seemingly ready to wail something out once again but never had the chance to as she plopped a grape lollipop into his mouth. "No more crying, okay, Lambo-Chan?"

Adult Lambo closed his mouth, savoring the taste of his newly acquired lollipop. Letting her go, he smiled even though there was still blood coming from his forehead. "Thanks Kou-Nee, you always know what to do to make me feel better." He said still smiling. Lambo blinked, his smile grew even more. "Oh yeah! I almost forgot, congratulations on finally getting together with your lover." That made Kou freeze in her place. Lover? Just what the hell? "It was about time, everyone was saying that the two of you should have tied the rope sooner but you two were a little stubborn about it."

Kou couldn't breathe properly. "L-Lambo-Chan?" Her voice was shaky, she knew that, but who's wouldn't after hearing that? "E-Exactly…who is my l-lover…?" She squeaked out, looking at the teen in hope to reveal such things so she knew exactly who to stay away from. Kou had a secret fear of getting so close to someone that could hurt her in a way that could not be healed easily.

The teenager just raised a brow, tilting his head in confusion. "What do you mean, Kou-Nee? You don't know? You two have been together for seven years now. It's you and-" POOF. There, in place where the older Lambo was standing at, was now their Lambo. With the a larger grape lollipop in his hands. "Gyupahaha! This is mine and no one else can have it!" He stuffed the candy in his mouth. Once he realized his surroundings, he looked up to the person who was still standing next to him. Lambo's grinned, climbing up from her leg to shoulder within seconds. "Kou-Nee! Kou-Nee! Thanks for the candy! You can be Lambo-Sama's Right Hand-lady!" Well that was very considerate of him, since Kou knew for sure that he would usually say something about being a 'slave' instead.

"I didn't expect this to be my turn out when my curiosity got the better of me." She muttered, warily looking at the cow like child, sitting on her shoulder, far too happy for it to be normal. 'Huh, must be the sugar in the lollipop. I just hope he doesn't start throwing grenades thinking it would be fun.'Kou looked at the group once again. Gokudera had long lost his cigarette, staring at her in disbelief, Takeshi was smiling but seemed strained, Tsuna was blushing but looking at her with freakishly wide eyes, and Haru seemed… jealous? With a sigh, she gave them a deadpan expression. "Alright, what did I do now?" She asked, putting her hands on her hips.

"Congratulations Kou, you were the only one to calm down the idiot." Said a squeaky voice not far from where everyone was standing. Reborn was playing with one of his curling sideburns, looking at her with a gleam in his eye. "The challenge was to get him to stop crying, who ever was able to would become Tsuna's Right Hand-Man." Gokudera spluttered, as his face turned into very interesting color as he disgusted the information. "But, since you weren't here for the beginning and wasn't personally called for on this match, you cannot become his Right Hand-Man. Try again next time." He finished, now petting Leon.

Gokudera sighed in relief, then looked smug at the girl. Kou just blinked in a bored way before plucking Lambo off her shoulder and handing him over to Tsuna. "Yeah, that's great and stuff. Now, I have to go and make sure no one messes with the school or else I'll get to spend time with my brother on the rooftop for the next five hours." Patting Lambo's afro down she waved at them absently, turning on her heels to head down another path.

It would have been a great exit if it weren't for the fact that her face almost collided with someone. Looking up, she seen Kusakabe there, looking as if he ran everywhere. "K-Kou-San." She pouted at it but raised a brow for him to continue. "K-Kyoya-San wants you up on the rooftop this instant. He said that since you were not doing your job correctly, you'll have to spar with him for five to seven hours, following up with paper work on some new rules, and giving him a report about anything he wishes." Ah, that would explain why he looked so damn tired. He was searching for her in a full out sprint.

'Oh, so Kyoya wants me to do fight him, do paper work, and a following up report.' She thought not really paying attention. A second passed until she realized what was said and thought. "Wait- WHAT?" Now, normally, she was always the calm, collected type, and wouldn't do something so brash without a thought. So it was a surprise to everyone as she face palmed with both her hands, which rubbed on her face in obvious angered fashion. Kou was also swearing a wonderful double rainbow, switching from language to language. First it was Japanese, then English, then Italian, followed by French, and last but not least Chinese. Even Reborn let out a low whistle at her language range. Taking a huff of air, she switched back to Japanese, shaking her fists into the air. "AH! SCREW IT ALL! IF HE WANTS THE SCHOOL DAMAGED THEN HE'LL GET IT RIGHT IN THE DAMN ASS!" This little proclaim left everyone stumped as she stomped away.

Well, Gokudera had already first handedly already saw this side of her when he had tackled her to the ground. Also, when she was cursing in Italian and English, he had to giver her props. Not even he could come up with such vulgar words that she had been so pleased to give out. A loud 'Ahem' broke them out of their stupor as they looked back at Kusakabe. "I suggest that you leave the school premises if you know what is good for you. When the two of them have their spars, it could get out of hand." They didn't need to be told twice as they all but ran out of there. From the far distance, they can still hear Kou screaming at her brother as she, once again, switched off into different languages.


Kou let herself fall onto her bed, not even half her body was on it as she groaned. The two siblings had a practical all out war between each other. Kyoya wouldn't be coming home anytime soon since he had to deal with the damages himself since Kou had all but booked it home the moment she had a chance. There was no way she was going to deal with more paperwork. She had her own homework do deal with and didn't want to have to bother with wondering if her hands were going to fall off. It was a good thing she was an ambidexterity. If one hand felt like it was just dead weight, she would switch off to the next. 'So much of a glory when it comes to something so handy.' Kou snorted at her thought. Ah, her humor still hasn't changed, it was still dull and lame.

For ten minutes, she didn't move. Kou was just staring at things with blank eyes, nothing was on her mind as she had continued to stare at nothing. After what felt like forever, she sighed, letting the top part of her body slump off her bed and onto the floor. Her grey eyes looked at the box that was under her bed, contemplating about the ring inside. From the day she had gotten it, she had never really used it, let alone wear the ring around her neck. She had a feeling that what ever was inside the ring, felt lonely. Then again, Kou couldn't help but snort dryly at that, who wouldn't feel lonely being placed under a bed for days with no contact?

Reaching out to it, her hand gently clutched onto the box and pulled it out. She cradled it to her chest as if it were a living baby, a small frown was placed on her face as her index finger followed the edges of the box. "Sorry for leaving you there." Kou opened the box in a way that would seem as if a mother was trying to sooth their baby. Her eyes were glued onto the ring as it shined momentarily before returning it back to normal. Gently taking the ring out, she placed it on her middle finger on her right hand, never taking it away from her sight. "How about we start over? I'll make sure you don't stay alone anymore, you'll always be by my side. If not that, then always by my heart." Again, there was a shine, yet it stayed, as if it was waiting for something. Kou let out a kind smile, "My name is Hibari Kou, it a pleasure to meet you." That was when the shine became brighter.

The girl had to cover her eyes as it was to bright for her own eyes to handle. As it slowly died out, Kou couldn't help but keep smiling. The light- no, she was certain they were flames- were happy and accepted her. Kou let out a gasp, her cheeks flared into a brilliant pink color as her eyes sparkled in glee. There, right before her eyes, were two marvelous looking felines. A baby black panther stretched, as if it were relieved to be out. Midnight Flames were coming out of it's ears and hind legs, what made her taken back was that the roman number 'one' was on it's back. Two white rings were on it's tail, one in the middle while the other near the end of it's tip.

The other feline was obviously a lioness cub. It's white fur was blessed with Orange flames coming from it's front legs and around it's neck to chest -much like a scarf but better. Right between the feline's eyes was another thing that made Kou's eyes ridiculously large, it was the eye that was hiding behind the number one in the ring. The slightly open eye was the same in every way; including the odd line going through it. The cub let out a yawn before sitting correctly.

All of them stared at each other for a short of two minutes before Kou broke out into the whole small girly part she still had. "Holy Swiss fucking cheese, you two are absolutely adorable!" She cooed over them, scratching behind their ears, under their chin, and petting down their fur. The two felines purred aloud, grateful that Kou knew exactly where to pet them. Her smile grew as they looked at her with eyes that matched their flames. "Oh, so your names are Kuro and Sora, huh? Well, nice to meet you two!" She giggled for a few seconds before flailing her arms around like a maniac. "WHAT THE- I can understand you two! Holy- is there some kind of telepathy or something going on here? …Oh, there is? Well this is flippin' AWESOME!" Again, Kou giggled, which turned to laughter, then resulted in a full blown cackle.

The two felines shared a look, wondering if their new found master was alright in the head. Seeing her calm down, they waited until it was high time to show her something that her mind was slowly forgetting. "Excuse me, Kou?" Said a soft girl like-voice, making said girl freeze and look around warily. Kou was sure that no one came into the house. "Kou, down here." The voice let out a sigh as the girl followed it's instructions. Instead of coming face to face with a person, Kou was stuck looking down at her lioness cub. "Listen to what I have to say; currently, your past memories are fading, which is why you might have problems facing the events in the near future. There will be a turn in events that you were not aware of but, don't worry, we'll help you." The cub -Sora- let out a soft meow mixed in with a roar, giving her a weird smile.

"Yeah, exactly what Sora says." Perked up the baby panther -Kuro- to his feet. "But right now, we got bigger fish to fry. Since you finally got us to come out and emotionally connect with us, we can go visit someone!" Kuro bounced up in a hyperactive movement, looking at Kou excitedly. "So, is there something you wanna say before we get going?"

Kou's mouth had dropped for a second but snapped back up. "You know, it's going to take a while for me to get used to hearing you speak. I mean, it's awesome and everything but it's kind of freaking me out at the same time. Hmm… Maybe I'll get used to it eventually? Yeah, I hope I can." She said more to herself, then nodded her head, looking at the felines in front of her. "So, will others be able to understand you as well? What do you mean my past memories are fading? And who are we going to visit, exactly?" Her hands found their way to her head, gripping onto her raven locks.

"It is exactly as I said, Kou." Sora got up from her sitting position, looking straight up into Kou's eyes. "As we speak, you are beginning to lose your old memories. Tell me, what did you do for your seventh birthday in your previous life?" Kou opened her mouth, ready to say something that was the most obvious thing in the world, but halted. Nothing was coming to mind, it was a complete blank. Seeing that she couldn't come up with an answer, she wisely shut her mouth. "That rests my case." Sora nodded to herself, having already expecting that reaction.

"As for people understanding us, then you don't have to worry about that! All they'll be able to hear us will be our meowing/roar like answers. It'll make it seem like you can understand animals!" Kuro said happily, running around Kou like a hyper active child. "Oh! And it's a surprise! When we go inside, you'll be seeing some of the future outcome, or what's going to happen soon. I'm sure you still have memories of what's going to happen but it's missing a lot of things right? It's because of your old memories fading that you're missing a great deal of information!" Well that would explain why her mind was trying to find answer to which were leaving her confused. Her memories were missing chunks of parts of what was meant to happen here.

So now she was going to be visiting someone she didn't even know, or was she? Kou took in a deep breath, relaxing herself before looking at her new feline partners. "Alright, let me take a shower and change into something better and then we'll go. Is that alright with you two?" Seeing them giver the raven head girl a nod, Kou went into her closet, absently mindedly reaching a white dress shirt, a black skirt, and a black bow. Her mind was racing back and forth to be actually paying attention to what her body was doing. It was on automatic as she rushed in and out of the shower, putting on a few bandages since she had received some from Kyoya in their fight earlier. Once she was back into her room, Kou started to put on her black boots, glad that they went up to her thighs. She wasn't a huge fan of having her legs show too much. "Okay, I'm ready. Let's go see this person you want me to visit."


An old man was signing papers left and right, going through documents that held information for making new alliances and news that would accompany his new heir. He halted in his action as he felt the room become colder. His eyes darted every where into the room, looking for something that would give itself off. It didn't take long for a flame like portal to appear right in front of his desk.

The only people he knew of this flame was that of the Vindice. The old man stayed in his place, waiting for one of them to come out. Instead, a soft giggle came from the portal, following up by a young looking girl. Her raven hair swayed behind her as she came out of the portal, her white skin complemented her grey eyes and gentle smile. "It's a pleasure to finally meet you, Vongola Nono. My name is Hibari Kou, the Over-Seer." Two felines landed on her shoulders, leaving the Vongola Boss in awe. Never, in his life, has he seen such creatures. "I have seen what is to happen, and it is in your best interest to know of such things."

Timoteo seen the look in her eyes as she made the portal disappear, waiting for him to say something. He closed his eyes, already looking far over his age had stated. "Very well." When he opened them, he was no longer a grandfather figure, but a boss. "Take a seat, Over-Seer. Tell me what you have seen." It was going to be a long after noon for him, as he caught the grim expression on the young girls face.


A groan erupted from the girls mouth. She huffed, trying to get her breathing back to normal but failed as her body felt to hot. "Tch. Stay still, Omnivore." Kyoya said, looking down at his sister with a half-hearted glare. Kou tried to give back the glare but flinched when the light came into her eyes, using her arm to shield it away. Kyoya growled, preying her arm away from her face as she let out another groan. "I'll bite you to death if you don't shut up." Instantly, her groans became soft whimpers.

The skylark had placed her arm back to her side, studying her once again. He had came home late -early morning really- ready to chew his sister to pieces. Honestly, Kyoya was expecting her to be up still, ready to continue what they had started from earlier the other day. It came to a surprise that she wasn't even giving off the familiar death like aura he came to feel after their spars. When he had reached to her room, he had half expected her to be studying or listening to music to drown out the world. What he saw nearly sent him into a panic attack. Kou was laying on the ground, sweat rolling down her face, cheeks flushed with red and skin more pale then usual.

Kyoya had tried everything he could to take her out of the house and to the hospital. It was more of a challenge then he had originally thought. The girl kept on grabbing onto something, not wanting to leave the comfort of her own room. She had never liked the hospital for reasons that didn't make sense to him at all. The older brother had only left her room for a few seconds to retrieve a small bowl of cold water and a towel, only to find his sister barely lifting herself onto her bed. Kou had whimpered; which made him feel even more odd. He had never heard her whimper before -besides when he had hit her on the head- and couldn't help but grab his cell-phone to call a doctor over.

He would have to tell Kusakabe to get her homework and have a few Committee members to watch over her until she got better. Not that he liked the idea of having people around her while he was off doing the duties he knew he had to do. "Tch. This will be the only time I'm doing this." Kyoya marched out of the room, already dialing numbers on his phone. After letting a the other side ring, he growled out. "Herbivore, get you group over to my house. There is something you need to do." Skylark hung up the phone, not letting them have a chance say anything.

Kou's breathing was the same, it was far too hot, and when she removed the blankets, she would feeling like she was freezing. It was either deal with the inferno like tempter or the mount Fuji's winds and neither of the two sounded pleasant to her at the moment. 'Damn. I knew they said that I wouldn't be feeling so great after using both of their powers to see what was to happen but they never said I would break out into one hell of a fever!' Her thoughts felt as if they were lethargic, if she were to think, it would feel hazed and heavy. 'Well, at least it'll be quiet.' Kou shivered, feeling as if she had jinxed herself.

"What do you mean we have to take care of her? What if Juudaime get's her fever, huh?" Said a muffled but load voice from beyond her door.

"Haha. Aw, come on Gokudera, don't be like that." Another voice said. Kou couldn't help but feel like smiling at it. If it weren't for the loud yelling that came afterwards, she would have kept smiling.

Except, that wasn't the case. Kou had erupted into a coughing fit, making it harder for her to breath. Her mind hadn't even registered that people had all but busted into her room. Cold hands were placed under her back, lifting her to sit up slight. "Hiee! K-Kou-Chan doesn't look so well! Maybe w-we should take her to the hospital!" The voice said. Kou had tried to open her eyes again but everything was blurry and the light hurt her head so much that she shut them closed tightly once again.

"Tch. It's not like she's really that sick." Footsteps reached her ears. The next thing she felt was a hand being placed onto her forehead before retracting it quickly. "Ow! What the hell!" It hissed out. In her mind, she could imagine a certain bomber scowling, blowing on his hand. The thought made her want to giggle but made her cough once again. "The woman's on fire you idiot! Why the hell isn't she in the hospital!" Was that…worry in that voice? Ah, she couldn't tell from the mix of anger in it.

A growl erupted from whom she knew was her brother. "I've already tried to take her. The omnivore is being stubborn since she hates hospitals." She could just feel the glare her brother was giving her without even looking.

"Exactly how did she end up like this? Do you know, Hibari?" The squeaky voice obviously connected to Reborn. Who else would have that kind of voice anyways. There was a sound of fabric moving, followed by a humming noise. "From the looks of it, she might not last. The fever doesn't seem normal and is too high for someone to handle. We have to…" Kou couldn't hear anymore as her subconscious faded away.

All she knew was that the person's grip on her tighten as she had went limp, enjoying the peace and quiet that came with her sleep. 'Ah, finally. Some freakin' sleep…' She thought to herself, not even realizing the panic she had created between her brother and the so called care takers.

When she was finally able to see, she was greeted with Kyoya sitting on her side of the bed. Tsuna, Takeshi, and Gokudera were sitting on the floor on the opposite side sporting a few bruises that she was sure that Kyoya gave them. A rather looking dead perverted Dr. Shamal crumpled on the floor. Her body no longer felt sore or heavy as led. In fact, she felt as light as a feather.

Kou looked at everyone, a mischievous grin was painted on her face. Taking in a deep breath, she readied herself for the moment that was going to come. "YOU GUYS HAD BETTER NOT GAINED UP ON ME WHEN I WASN'T FEELING WELL!" This outburst caused the three boys to stand up quickly, hitting each other's heads and feel back on the ground. Kyoya woke up calmly but gave her a death glare. Dr. Shamal shot up from his spot and tackled her onto her bed. Both the Hibari siblings punched him once again, sending the poor doctor out the window. Kou looked over to the group, Gokudera and Tsuna looking shocked while Takeshi smiled and laughed. "So, what's going on guys?"

Kyoya had hit her head, efficiently knocking her out and sent the boys away. The love/hate relationship between the two will never make sense to others.


And that's a wrap for this chapter.

O u O;

So, how do you guys like it?
