Author's Note:

Hello:D Here's the update you've all been waiting for! Sorry if it's late, cause I'm suffering from insomnia - or at least I think so. 3 to 4 hours a sleep a day it's taking it's toll on my body, so i hope it doesn't affect my grammar:P.(I could always use auto-correct for spelling XD) And I've decided on the genre I'm going to put in. I'll be making this an adventure story and sorry - not much romance. But, I'll be trying something new and hard. In one perspective, it will be a normal fluff story, the other would be a little romance story:D I'm not sure how I'm going to do that, but I'll try. Took me a long time to think of that to satisfy all readers. I hope it turns out right.

Thank You to all readers, reviewers, favourite-rs and followers! As usual treasure family, Swanfrost15. And the new reviewers nightfayte, Hikaru Einsburg, KHRfan12, Amayachida, Guest and Rumu:D

Most of you don't get the spirit part? Good. Keep guessing. It's supposed to be a secret and I took a long time to think of that. Thanks treasure family for pointing out my mistake - 5 hours at the computer typing is not good for your body guys. DON'T Do It.

I don't want to make this too long so thank you all, once again. I'm happy you guys like the upcoming epic battle and interactions. So hopefully I do a good job making this chapter better:D (And I know most of you are rooting for Hibari;D)

Today, I will satisfy all you Hibari fans making him look really cool! Hopefully. Go!Go!


Chapter 7

Tsuna's first thought? Mukuro + Hibari fight = mansion destroyed = more paperwork Tsuna felt his face pale by the second. HIIIIIIEEEE! Don't pass out. Don't pass out.

The atmosphere was crazily heavy. Everyone was in pure mental shock when Hibari just let out such a huge and wild flame. Heck, he even controlled it in 30 seconds flat. Nobody could believe what they saw. Something that they took so much sweat, blood and time to master could be controlled by an outsider in such a short period of time. Tsuna could sense the tinge of annoyance in Gokudera. But no doubt, everyone had to admit, Hibari had some crazy potential.

Hibari could measure the amount of heat emitting from the flame, it was searing off the tips of the grass on the ground. The impact and the pressure when it first appeared left everyone covering their faces with their arms in defense. But it not hot, but warm. It did not feel foreign, but instead familiar - since he was the one that produced it. Have he felt it before? Maybe. He almost laughed at the shocked faces of the other herbivores. It was payback time.

"I'll bite you to death."

"Kufufu... Don't think because you produced a flame, birdie, means you can defeat me. I bet you can't even control it."

"M-Mukuro has got a point there... Nooo! $10,000!"

"I'm so sorry Juudaime! Hibari bastard, you better win!"

"Ahaha! Then Gokudera, won't you lose your money instead?"

"I'll do anything for Juudaime, you baseball freak!"

Hibari raised is tonfa as the flames grew wilder. The force and pressure that was emitting from the flame ruffled through his hair and flap wildly. He lunged with his right tonfa at his chest to defend and his left loosened up to prepare to strike a blow. Mukuro twirled his trident till all three points were facing Hibari, ready to spear his opponent, and kicked off from his spot on the ground. Right tonfa met trident and Hibari swung with his left but Mukuro managed to block with the hilt of his trident. Hibari threw a kick at Mukuro's stomach and successfully landed a blow. But Mukuro twisted his arms and escaped away from the struggle their trident and tonfas were having, only to swing it at Hibari's face. Hibari quickly jerked his body back and both of them leapt backwards.

Hibari's finger tips wandered to the cut on his cheek that let out a drop of blood. "Hn? You got me."

"Kufufu... Me too. The little birdie actually can fly. Seems like it's a draw." Mukuro said as he wiped away the blood that trickled from his mouth with the edge of his sleeve.

"So far." Hibari stated monotonously while smirking.

"I'll kill you for that kick in my stomach."

"Hn? Isn't that what you've been trying to do?"

"Kufufu... You are weaker than you think. I have seen equal to your level in skill, and every time I've buried them." Mukuro chuckled. "In a place much like hell. Let's continue."

They both leapt at each other again, but this time, Mukuro covered his whole trident in mist flames. Both flames left trails of smaller flames behind them as they both began swinging their weapons at each other once more.

But this time, it was different.

The third time their weapons met, the edges of Hibari's tonfas flew from the original weapon, sliced off. Hibari and Mukuro broke off away from their fight once more. Hibari stared at his newly shaped weapon intently.

"Kufufu... I bet your puny mind is too shocked to register what just happened. I bet you have already guessed, the mist flames originally is softer than the cloud flames. But if I focus them all to the tips of my trident, they can easily melt steel."

"True. There is a lot of things that Hibari-san doesn't know..."

"Mukuro! Cut Kyoya some slack! He just discovered his flame!"

"Kufufu... Bucking Horse, who do you think I am?"

"A pineapple herbivore."

"Oya Oya. You do realise that this pineapple herbivore is going to send you to hell." An owl glided down and landed on Mukuro's shoulder. "Meet my box animal, Hibari Kyoya. This is what you call a bird of prey, and not that little yellow fluff ball above your head."

Hibird flapped it's little wings and nested in Hibari's hair. "Hibari! Hibari!" Hibari's faced stayed monotonousness. "Of course. Hibird is not the one that is going to defeat you. Come here, Roll."

The little purple hedgehog crept out of a bush right behind Hibari and Hibari bent down to scoop him up. "Meet Roll. My box animal."

Everyone looked at him quizzically and with hints of astonishment.

"Oya? You just picked up a little animal from the ground and called it a box animal? I take it back, you are an idiot."

Hibari ignored the comment. "As a-" Hibari paused and with great distaste, "Guardian. You should know that there is also life energy flowing in our veins in the form of pulses or Hadou."

"Ahaha! You have to admit, Hibari is really good to know that!"

"And when I lit this ring, it had the same wavelength as Roll gave off when I first met him."

"Tch. That Hibari bastard always trying to look cool."

"And is doing an EXTREMELY good job."

"Kufufu... So what if you know this? What good does it do to you if you don't know how to control it?"

Hibari placed Roll in the middle of his right palm, dangling the grip of his tonfa in the gap between his index finger and thumb. Light. He thought. The purple ring burst into the same amount of flames as the start.

"It won't be enough to defeat him, Hibari." Reborn pointed out. "Mukuro is a top notch illusionist and you expect to defeat him with a little light? It's great to see how the strongest man in Namimori struggle."

"R-Reborn! How much more irritated do you want Hibari to get?"

"The more the better, Tsuna. I have a feeling that that is what lights up Kyoya's flame rather than resolve in this situation." Dino explained.

"B-But that's just a Class C ring! At least let me give a Class A! He definitely won't be able to produce any flame larger than that!"

"Shut up Dame-Tsuna. If he is capable, he will find a way himself. If he can't, just admit it. He's weaker than a pineapple."

"Now, I'm just plain irritated, herbivores." Suddenly, a extra burst of flames coiled around Hibari's fingers on his right hand and cracks appeared on the ring. Irritation? Wao. Interesting. Hibari immediately thought and remembered of all the things that irritated and annoyed him. Crack. Wasn't hard. After all, all he had to do was look at that pineapple in front of him. The coils of flames around his fingers got only bigger and bigger. Crack. The ribbons of waves of flames coiled around Roll, who looked around earnestly at the sudden new surge of colour. Crack. The flames completely ate up Roll as Hibari stared at the ball of flames in his hand. Let's go, Roll.

The ring shattered.

A ball of purple covered in spikes expanded, 3 times the size of his head and hovered by his side. The ball soon started spinning at high speed and pulverised the nearest tree.

"HIIEEE! Hibari-san! Stay away from the mansion!"

"Vongola, if I'm not mistaken, I haven't seen anyone use the ring like that before."

"Lambo's right, Boss.. Normally people would like to keep the ring, but Cloud man just lets it shatter."

"But if he uses it this way, Hibari would be able to bring out the maximum potential of the ring. Other than this way, it shouldn't be possible at all to bring the size of this flame. Interesting man, Hibari Kyoya." Reborn grinned.

"O-Ok H-Hibari-san! Please stop! The trail's over! By the looks of it, you two would destroy the mansion!"

"And who are you to tell me what to do, herbivore?"

"Kufufu... Birdie-chan has got a point. I would like to try out that little spinning top."

"I'll show you spinning top." Hibari growled. With that, the two troublemakers pounced at each other, weapons flailing behind them, bristling with energy. Both of their box animals followed swiftly behind.

"FIGHT TO THE EXTREME"

"HIIEEE! Please don't fight!"

"Listen to Juudaime you damn bastards!"

"If you want them to stop, then go do something about it, Dame-Tsuna." Reborn said as he materialised behind Tsuna and picked him up by the scruff of his collar.

"Eh?"

Reborn lifted him up above his head and with one swing, threw him almost at the speed of light towards the skylark and pineapple who were just about to clash head on.

"HIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEE!"

With deadly accuracy, Tsuna hit Hibari and Mukuro head on - literally, on their heads. All three of them collapsed with a BONK and tumbled onto the ground in a huge cloud of dirt with Tsuna on top of the skylark and pineapple. The box animals calmed down and extinguished their flames while Roll, thankfully, went back to normal size. All three of them groaned in agony and annoyance.

"Get off me you damn herbivore. You're too close, pineapple."

"I could say the same for you, birdie. You're infecting me with your germs. They got 'weak' written all over them."

"I'll show you weak." Hibari growled as he reached for his tonfas.

"Would you two just shut up?"

Both of the turned to look at the brunette who was wiping dirt of his face and getting up. His shadow was looming over them, suddenly seemed much more intimidating. At the same time, the weather seemed to drop by a massive 10 degrees. Hibari and Mukuro looked up (in fear?) to see the Devil himself towering over them and cracking his knuckles. Everyone, except Hibari and Reborn paled, with one thought in their head:

We're seriously f*cked!

"You guys are plain obnoxious and always cause trouble. Do you even know how much paperwork I have to do?!" Tsuna grumbled and he took a deep breath and sighed. "Hibari," he said in a low voice. "We're done with our session with the rings today. Let's continue in the mansion."

Please say yes, please say yes.

"...No."

Shit.

"Ok Ok! That's enough!" Dino intercepted quickly before anything else could happen. He laughed nervously and cupped Hibari's mouth from behind."Tsuna, why don't you go in first and calm down?" He quickly glanced at Gokudera and Yamamoto, hoping they would get the other meaning he was trying to imply.

"J-Juudaime! Let's go in first!" As Gokudera and Yamamoto quickly pushed him into the mansion as Chrome conjured up a bucket of ice water and doused Mukuro in it.

"Mukuro-sama... Would you please try not to start another World War?" She reprimanded him.

Mukuro spat out a stream of water. "Kufufufu... Fine, dear Nagi. But he started it."

"Just shut it Mukuro-sama."

"I'm glad I taught Chrome to be like this." Reborn smirked and tilted his fedora upwards to look at the duo. "She's the only one other than Dame-Tsuna that can shut you up."

Mukuro threw him a How-can-you-do-this-to-Nagi-and-especially-ME look.

"I agreed to it Mukuro-sama. You shouldn't throw a tantrum. Let's go to where boss is." Chrome said as she grabbed Mukuro by the back of his collar and dragged him towards Tsuna. Everyone outside ignored Mukuro's puppy dog look and the flashing words of 'SAVE ME' made of illusions above his head.

Once they were out of sight, Hibari swiped Dino's hand away from his mouth and glared menacingly at him.

"S-Sorry?"

"You owe me, herbivore. Are you strong?"

"Maybe?"

"Hn." Hibari turned back on his heels and walked back into the mansion as Hibird nestled back in his hair and Roll scurried after him. The remaining of the guardians hurried to their boss, in hopes of him not causing anymore trouble.

Dino turned to Reborn. "He's such a troublesome kid, isn't he?"

Reborn looked at Hibari staying quite a far distance from the rest. "Yup. But he is essential. If not, the Vongola would be crippled in the mafia world. The problem now is whether he will say 'yes' to his position."

"And how are you planning to do that?"

Reborn looked at him.

Dino sighed. "This is probably going to be worse than paperwork."


Hibari stood at the other side of the grand living room. Far away from the other guardians doing their best to calm their boss down. Really far. They were making too much noise for his liking and his migraine wasn't helping at all. The guardians were rushing about trying to calm him down with:

Gokudera - shouting at the others to shut up at the top of his lungs.

Yamamoto - just laughing at the top of his lungs.

Ryohei - offering a boxing match to reduce stress and screaming EXTREME at the top of his lungs.

Mukuro - KufuFWA-ing at the top of his lungs.

Lambo and Chrome - fanning their boss with paper fans and offering him sweets - Thank God, not at the top of their lungs.

Hibari ignored them for a moment of 13 seconds exactly before he could not take it anymore. He walked up to Tsuna and grabbed the flower vase and dumped the contents all over him. Water, flowers and pebbles. The whole room went silent and stared at Hibari and their boss.

"Cleared your mind, herbivore?"

Tsuna shook his head violently causing all the water to splatter everywhere - much to Hibari's annoyance - and his gravity-defying hair magically stood up again with assorted flowers and pebbles lodged in between the strands.

"HIBARI YOU BAS-"

"Actually yes. Thank you, Hibari-san." Tsuna looked up to him and smiled.

"Hn."

"Nice hair, Dame-Tsuna."

"Where have I heard that before..." Tsuna sighed. "Back to business. Hibari-san, now that you realise that you possess the Cloud flame, we have a proposition for you."

"And why should I listen to that?"

"Don't you dare defy Juudaime! Juudaime is offering you something and how dare you reject it!"

"Haha! Gokudera, he hasn't rejected it yet."

"Well, he was about to!"

"EXTREME FIGHTI-"

Everyone that was shouting was cut short by pots, pans and flower pots falling from nowhere and knocking on their heads.

"Thank you, Chrome. As I was saying, before I was cut short," Tsuna glared at them and took a deep breath. "Hibari Kyoya,"

Hibari snapped to attention, stifled a yawn and hid the signs that he was about to fall asleep.

"Would you like to join the Vongola Famiglia as the 10th Cloud Guardian?"
