OMG an update lol. Sorry it's been so long in the making but to make up for it...well you'll just have to read xD Anyways I think there's only like two more chapters until I get to the mukuro arc so...yeah. Thanks to all those that reviewed~!
It would be a bald faced lie to say that no one noticed Hibari's attention on the silent girl. No one would say anything of course but all suspicions were greatly aimed to the idea that the two were dating. They didn't know just how wrong they were. Every chance he got to be around the girl, there he was and if he wasn't always cornering her she was with him, on the roof or in the reception room. He would even escort her or have her escorted off school grounds.
Reborn had noticed it as well but all the child would do was smirk when asked his opinion by his student. As far as he was concerned and as far as Tsuna and the others were told, she was a valuable ally and what she did with whom was her own prerogative. Tsuna was the only one that seemed to ponder it any further then a glance.
Charlie was well aware of the gossip and confusion caused between the two of them but she could care less. He wasn't a bad companion when he wasn't trying to spar. And when she got to the roof that afternoon he was in a sparring mood. He'd gotten a bit better at reading her moves but she was always a step ahead of him which pissed him off to no end but made her smile. The bet of him landing a hit still stood and even though he hadn't managed to do so before now it caught them both off guard when he finally managed it. Instead of hitting her with a tonfa like she had assumed he would instead his leg came up and almost connected with her side. She managed to block it in time but it didn't escape him that he caught her off guard. Crossing his arms he gave her a sly smile.
"It wouldn't be fair to say that didn't count so I'll be fair and give you another question Kyouya"
He had gotten used to her calling him by his name over the last two weeks. Although the idea that he wanted to kiss her had been bothersome to say the least She hadn't called him a kid again. Not that his age was any major concern of his. It still didn't explain the attachment he shared with this woman. If he were honest with himself he could say that he didn't mind her company, her laugh haunted his thoughts and her mouth...he shuddered to think of the wonders that 'could' come from those lips. Such vulgar thoughts were unbecoming and over her lips for gods sake. His thoughts were interrupted by the crowd of herbivores that always seemed to plague Charlie's foot steps.
"Geh...H-hibari-san..." Stuttered the weakest of them. The silvered haired one simply scoffed and stuck his hands in his pockets. His fur was still ruffled from their last encounter. Of course he'd beaten them but he was stopped by the baby. The tallest of them simply smiled like the idiot he was scratching at the back of his head.
"H-hi Charlie. I didn't expect to find you here..." with him was unspoken but it hung in the air nonetheless. She smiled faintly at the boy.
"Hello Boss. I hope every thing's well today?"
"E-eh? Y-you don't have to call me boss! It'll make me feel we-"
"Dame-tsuna. You are her boss so of course she'll call you boss. Get used to it."
Charlie laughed as she leaned over to pick up the weakling. Hibari was losing his patience with them already. As much as he wanted to get to his question over with these weaklings were more then enough to drive him away. He gave Charlie an impatient glance before heading toward the door.
Gokudera had the gall to mention the rumors in both of their presence. Tsuna paled considerably as well as Yamamoto who moved away from the brave teen. Hibari had stopped dead in his tracks and Tsuna squeaked. Charlie rolled her eyes and moved Gokudera out of the way in time to take the hit for him. Everyone stopped breathing but Hibari stopped himself with an icy glare. Charlie simply smirked.
"You're overreacting kyoya"
No one knew what was going through their minds as they silently stared at each other save maybe reborn. Charlie searched his face before mouthing something, masking it behind a smile. She turned to the trio of onlookers and when she smiled they seemed to soften a bit.
"I guess the cats out of the bag. Gokudera-kuns right, Hibari and I 'do' have a relationship..."
The look she gave them was almost if not worse then a glare from Hibari. She was smiling...cheerfully. It was unnatural enough to wipe the smile off Yamamoto's face.
"However if you even so much as peep Hibari wont be ale to get to you fast enough to bite you to death. Understood?"
They all nodded shakily watching with dropped jaws as she not only grabbed Hibari's hand but led him through the door.
Yes it felt good to lie to them like that but it ensure that they wouldn't be bothered if they were with one another. She'd even awarded Hibari two more questions just for letting it happen. As the two made their way to the reception room neither bothered to let go of the others hand. People scattered like cockroaches when they came into view. No doubt it would cause more gossip but Charlie could care less as people feared Hibari too much to make a point of it. Once inside the reception room charlie released his hand and sat down on the couch. Hibari stood in front of her after looking over a few papers on his desk.
"Not going to interrogate me?"
"No...not just yet."
She knew full well what he intended to do when he walked over to her. And for playing along with her little ruse she fully intended to let him. It wouldnt hurt anything. He leaned over her, his hands on the back of the couch as his face grew nearer to hers. She smirked but didnt move. Their breath mingled momentarily before his lips brushed hers in the barest of contact. He was playing with her, that much was apparent for as much as she wished she could lie she couldn't deny the fact that she wanted something...more. She grabbed the back of his head as her teeth gently pulled on his bottom lip. So began the battle for dominance.
Their struggle for the upper hand continued blissfully uninterrupted for all of ten minutes. In the short amount of time she had managed to pull him onto the couch and get on his lap. He hadn't bothered to changed their positions, instead he took pleasure in exploring her mouth. When the door opened they seperated and glared at whoever dared interrupt. Poor Kusakabe blushed at the site, stammering an apology before he shut the door. Charlie hadn't bothered to get off of his lap. Hibari's hand still remained on her hip as well.
"As fun as that was, I have work to do...so I'll see you later."
Hibari said nothing as she got off of him and left the room. Kusakabe was still as red as ever when he walked in to report that some of the seniors had been causing trouble. Good. Someone to vent his irritation on.
The rest of the day went by slowly as Charlie replayed the kiss in her head over and over again. It shouldn't have even happened let alone lasted that long. When the bell rang she gathered her things and instead of Kusakabe coming to greet her and escort her Hibari himself had come. She had gotten used to the routine that Hibari began after going to work with her that day. When she announced that she had to be to work he nodded and walked with her to the gate. As far as everyone saw he was protecting her but they were all sadl mistaken. Hibari was simply watching her since he found out a few things about her.
After parting at the gate Charlie went to work, unable to truly focus on anything but having gotten more then used to the procedure her body went into autopilot. Time for her seemed to sail and when she emerged from the red room the sun had gone down. As she walked down the darkened streets toward her home something caught her attention.
She stopped dead in her tracks at the sight of the blond. He and his subordinate stepped closer as he stared at her.
"Ignazio...?"
Damn.
Yeah Hibari's a bit OOC but theres not much to be done about it. Yet another surprise from her past emerges! What is her connection with the clumsy blond? And what else shall happen in the future? Lol Im thinkin of a love triangle but...it'll be a doozy that much is for sure
