Chapter 8: A Date with the Skylark.
Nagi shyly peers at the grey-eyed prefect beside her. He was looking ahead, occasionally would be frowning. Unknown by her, Hibari was having a conflict with himself.
Inside Hibari's mind:
'Should I hold her hand? But we're not even dating yet. Am I supposed to make the first move? Argh this is so confusing!'
Noticing the cake house in front of them, Nagi reach out to pull at his jacket, but in the end had grabbed Hibari's hand. "A-Ano, Hibari-san? May we stop by the cake house for a moment?"
Hibari, who thankfully managed to control his blush, could only nod.
Nagi went into the cake house, promising not to be long in there. As Hibari lean against the wall, occasionally glaring at the passerby's, he found himself staring at a certain bucking horse.
"Idiot Cavallone. If you're thinking that this bouquet of chocolate is enough for last night, you thought wrong." The black-haired girl glowered at the blond Italian beside her. "Just let me drive your car tomorrow and we'll call it evens."
"Err, but Yume-chan," Dino whined, "You're a reckless driver. Plus I just got the car back from the shop." he turned to see the grey-eyed prefect leaning against the wall and immediately go over to glomp his friend.
"Kyouya!~" Dino whined when the skylark punched him. "Hey, did you hear? Millefiore gang got suspended last night for trashing the school hall." he said gleefully. "Anyway, what are you doing here, Kyouya?"
"How many time I told you not to call me by my first name, Haneuma?" Kyouya pushed the blond away, "And what I'm doing here is none of your business."
"But…"
"Hibari-san?" the three of them turned to see Nagi staring at them weirdly as she holds a small cake box.
"Ooh. I get it now." Dino wangled his eyebrows slyly. "Kyouya's on a date~" he yelped as Yume wacked him on the head.
"Sorry, Hibari-san, Akesaka-san. Dino's just being silly today." The girl dragged the blond Italian away. "See you guys around." After going around the corner, both of the stopped, Yume peers back to stare at the couple while Dino gleefully dials a certain pineapple senior.
"Hello, Mukuro? Guess who I just saw on a date with your little cousin?"
"Where did you see that damn skylark?" Dino pulls the phone away from his ear, rubbing it as Yume grimaced in sympathy at him.
"Oh, you knew. Umm, judging by the direction, I think they're going to the park."
"Thanks, I owe you one." Mukuro abruptly ends the call, leaving Dino and Yume staring at the phone.
"Umm, why do I have the feeling something bad is going to happen?"
Mukuro puts his phone away, smiling ferociously. In front of him Mammon couldn't help by calculating possible damage caused by the over-protective pineapple-head.
"Alright everyone. Listen up." Standing in front of Mukuro were Mammon, Belphegor and Fran, all them dressed in black. (M.M and Ken were caught by the authorities employed by the school council last night and Chikusa was at the station, trying to bail them out.) "Everyone understand the plan right?"
Mammon raises her hand. Mukuro grimaced. "Yes, Viper, I will pay you guys. Any questions? And no little one, I don't want to listen any of your stupid questions."
Fran tries and failed to look hurt, "But I was going to ask if you have any contingency plan if Tweety catches us, Stupid master."
Mukuro could only shake his head in disbelief as Belphegor whacked the green-haired boy on the head. "If this plan works, we don't need any escape plan, little one. Now, are everyone ready?" everyone nodded.
"Operation: Spy Nagi's date with Stupid Skylark: Commerce!"
"Bel-senpai, should I tell stupid master his naming sense sucks?"
The Park
Strolling through the park, the couple walked passes the GokuderaHaru, KyokoTsuna scene:
("I…It's not what Juudaime/Tsuna-san thinks!"
"Oh...Um...then what are you guys doing, Gokudera-kun, Haru-san?"
"Umm…Swapping saliva, desu?"
"Ah, Haru-chan, isn't that as same as k-kissing?"
"Hahi! So it is desu."
"…Just shut up, Haru.")
"Is here ok Hibari-san?" Nagi points a spot under a group of pine trees. Hibari merely nodded and helps her spreading the picnic blanket. Both of them sat down, staring down the hill, enjoying the sunny morning. Unknown by them, Mukuro and his entourage was hiding behind the prickly gorse bushes, spying on them.
("Stupid Master, do we really have to spy them… oww… from here?"
"Ku fufufu. Shut up little one and just endure it."
"As much this pains me, I agree with froggy, Ushishishi."
"I want extra pay for this, Rokudo Mukuro.")
Shyly sitting down next to Hibari, Nagi self-consciously bites into her riceball as the two enjoys the scenic view from the spot. From a branch on one of the pine trees, Hibird warbled another song.
It was a peaceful day.
Until a group of Shimon International Academy delinquents found them.
"Look what we have here guys." One of them leered. "If it isn't Vongola Decimo Cloud and Mist." The group quickly surrounds the couple. "Because of you guy, we got suspended." He snarled as others pulls out their weapon of choice. "We want payback!"
Snarling, Hibari pulls out his tonfas and began to bite them all, whilst trying to keep Nagi behind him.
Meanwhile, behind the clump of gorse bushes:
("Umm, Stupid Master?"
"Yes, little one?"
"Aren't we going to help?"
"No little one. I want to see how far would the stupid skylark would protect little Nagi. Plus Nagi know how to protect herself."
"Good, the prince doesn't fight with drudges. And Viper-chan won't do it unless you pay up, Ushishishi."
"How many time do I have tell you don't call me Viper-chan? Pay me first if you want to call me that."
"so cold, Viper-chan. Ushishishi.")
Busy with two of the delinquents he was biting, Hibari failed to notice the man sneaking behind him with a metal pipe. But Nagi noticed.
"Hey! Stay away from him!" Hibari turned just in time to stare in disbelief as gentle Nagi swung the basket with all her might onto the man's head, rendering useless. Between the two of them, the group was quickly reduced into a pile of gibbering piece of trash.
Nagi looked mournfully at the trampled cake box. "That was my favorite chocolate cake." She said sadly. Beside her, Hibari was trying to control twitches of laughter that was threatening to come out.
"Herbivore. Last night and now this. I never knew you could fight like that." Was that admiration in his voice?
"Well, I can't just let them hurt Hibari-san, right?" Nagi flashed a quick smile before looking back mournfully at the cake-box.
"You're weird, Nagi." Nagi looks up in surprise, that was the first time she heard him calling her by her first name. "But, for some reason, I like that." Hibari spins the girl around and pulls the purplenette closer. "Who," his mouth twitches upward, "could have thought the little herbivore in front of me turns out to be an omnivore?"
Hibari smiled, his lips hovering over Nagi's lip. Nagi found herself leaning closer, their eyes locked together as the both of them moved closer and closer…
"Oya! You foul, grease-ball of a skylark! Stay away from my cousin!" Mukuro jumped out of the bush, looking lividly at the couple. Behind him, Fran, Bel and Mammon smacked their head in disbelief, quickly yet silently edges away from the impending explosion.
"Oh?" Hibari straightened up, his hands was still on Nagi's shoulders as the prefect turned to face the deranged pineapple. "What are you going to do?" he said amused. "Stop me? You and what army?"
Mukuro snarled angrily, "The four of us are enough to beat you." He turned, and stared in disbelief when Fran waved at him vigorously from the other end of the park.
"Sorry, stupid master. But all of us are too young to die." Fran suddenly pushed Bel forward, "But I think fake prince can help you!" he said brightly. Bel gulped when Hibari turned his deathly glare at him. The blond prince immediately turned and drags Fran and Mammon out of the park. As amusing it was, even Bel was sane enough to know the outcome if he fights with the demonic lark.
A quick trip to the nearest hospital bed.
Mukuro twitches in disbelief before he turned back at Hibari. "Oya, it seems I better take my leave. Ku fufu. See you around, Kyouya!" he ran.
"Stupid pineapple, come back here!" Hibari chased the pineapple. He stopped and turned back, swiftly pull Nagi for a kiss, a quick yet gentle kiss, his lips momentarily lingered before he pull away, brandishing his tonfas.
"Rokudo Mukuro, I will bite you to death!"
Done! Now, poll time! Should I go on or stop after one more chapter and possibly write a sequel? You guys decide.
Now I want reviews from everyone! Every reviewer gets a virtual blue chocolate cookie!
Now off to write chapter 3 for Kiri to Kumo. Guys who want to read a romance/tragic 1896 story should read this. It's a what it story where instead of Mukuro, Hibari was the one who met Nagi. He was admitted into the hospital the same day Nagi had her accident and needed a heart transplant. Nagi's mom wrote her off so the doctors decided to use Nagi's heart since they're both are compatible and have the same blood-type. When Hibari woke up from his operation, he found himself haunted by a purple haired shy ghost.
Hopefully I'll be to post it tonight before I go off to bed.
Chapter 9: Daily days.
Who is driving Dino's Ferrari? Why is Nagi sitting behind Hibari's bike? Why is the Vongola Decimo gang playing Katekyo Ondo? And why on earth is Byakuran managed to hack that website?
