Yuuki merrily hummed as she headed over to Tsuna's house while carrying a large, colorfully-wrapped present in her hands. Today was a special, joyful day. A day where Yuuki was looking forward to celebrating. Her parents have regretted on not being there to join her in the celebration, but they were currently too busy with the Mugen to visit. Therefore, Yuuki hoped that her presence would be enough to accommodate for her absent parents.
Stepping up the porch of Tsuna's house, Yuuki shuffled the present onto one arm before pressing the doorbell. A few seconds later, the door opened, revealing Nana on the other side.
"Ah, good morning, Yuuki-kun," Nana greeted, smiling at the 'boy'. "Thank you for stopping by, but are you sure the school is ok with you being here?"
"They're perfectly fine with me being here. There is no need for you to worry, Nana-san," Yuuki replied as she entered the home. Yuuki intentionally left out the part where the school technically have no say in what Yuuki can and cannot do unless they want to suffer under Yuuki's wrath, but Nana did not need to know any of that.
"My, my, Tsu-kun has such reliable friends."
Placing the present aside on a table, Yuuki went to work helping Nana and Bianchi – Lambo was currently messing around as children usually do – with the preparation of a party, more specifically, a birthday party. The lucky person who was getting a party was Reborn since it was his birthday today and everyone was buzzing with excitement for it.
Speaking of birthdays, there was another birthday happening soon – tomorrow even; Tsuna's birthday. With all the hype on Reborn's party, Yuuki wondered if anyone even remembered the younger boy's important day. Better yet, she hoped that Tsuna does not think it was his party everyone was getting eager for. The only reason she knew about his birthday in the first place was because she had to read up on Tsuna during the beginning of her mission and commit the basic information into her mind – this included Tsuna's birthday. What better way to get closer to your target than to please them on their special day?
Near the late afternoon, when school have just about ended and students were heading back to their home, Yamamoto, Gokudera, and Haru eventually made their arrival at Tsuna's house. Unfortunately, once Gokudera stepped through the doors, he saw his sister and immediately gotten sick, rendering him unable to be there to greet the birthday boy.
"Quick! He's coming," Nana yelled, noticing through the window that Reborn was walking down the neighborhood street alongside with Tsuna. She ushered everyone to the door where all of them got into their spots. We waited in silence with our party popper in ready position. When the door opened, we all popped our poppers and shouted, "Happy Birthday!", which startled the young Vongola Boss.
Confetti and ribbons rained and drifted down over a confused Tsuna while Reborn stood beside him, smiling in delight. "Thank you." Reborn said, further surprising Tsuna. Apparently Tsuna was not aware that Reborn was walking beside him the whole way there.
What a great mafia boss he was….
"Eh?!" Tsuna exclaimed. He was confused, having a hard time processing the situation. What was going on?
"I appreciated that you guys gathered here for me today."
"Huh?"
"You're welcome, Reborn," Yuuki beamed in happiness, sneaking a glance at Tsuna. From what she can discern of his facial expressions, it seemed that her assumption and worries were spot-on; Tsuna did think that they were preparing for his birthday.
"I'm one-year-old now." It really was a great accomplishment. Not everyone got the luxury to celebrate their 1st birthday again, especially one where they could remember it.
"Wha-…Eh…? Can it be that… The birthday party was for…" Tsuna stuttered.
"Right. It's mine."
THAT WAS IT!? Tsuna thought.
"I thought it was for me..." Tsuna said, looking quite down after the surprise. "I feel like a fool…"
"Eh! Oh, my!" Nana suddenly realizing what the problem was. "OH NO! Tsuna's birthday is tomorrow! I completely forgot…"
"Really!" Bianchi, Yamamoto and Haru exclaimed in disbelief. Yuuki sort of pity the boy. To have his own mother forget his birthday was quite sad. Her parents never forget her birthday, but they don't celebrate it as much with her since they were always too busy. On the plus side, they did try to do the best they can by calling her or even sending her gifts. That was at least better than what she experienced Before.
"Why don't we celebrate both birthdays then?" Yuuki suggested.
"Yeah," Yamamoto agreed.
"That's a great idea," Haru said.
"Good thing you mentioned it, Tsuna," Nana said.
Tsuna didn't look too happy by the suggestion. "I'm like a loser who's demanding his own birthday party…"
After that, the group all departed to Tsuna's bedroom where they ate some sushi that Yamamoto's dad had made for them. "I want the salmon!" Yuuki exclaimed, practically bouncing in her seat.
If you haven't noticed by now, Yuuki absolutely love sushi and as a selfish sushi-lover, Yuuki was not too ashamed to take advantage of her friendship with Yamamoto to get discount on her meals at his family restaurant. She quickly became a regular there and developed a good relationship with Mr. Yamamoto. Additionally, with her constant presence at the restaurant, the property became quite known to those in the underworld as being under the Mugen's heiress' protection and thus, there was less incidents happening around the surrounding area. This, in turn, made the area a safer place to be in and drew in more customers for the restaurant.
"Wait," Tsuna spoke up, looking around the room. Despite the excited chatters from his friends, the mood in the room just didn't seem right, something was missing. "How come the atmosphere is different even though everyone's here…?"
That was then he noticed Gokudera alone in the corner of the room, sick from being within distance from his sister. The boy managed to reveal that he did remember Tsuna's birthday before losing conscious. It wasn't a surprise that Gokudera of all people remembered Tsuna's birthday, seeing how obses-loyal he was with the young Vongola boss and Tsuna should feel fortunate that not everyone forgotten his birthday, but he was too concern about Gokudera's well-being to really care. Tsuna just couldn't understand why his friend was pushing himself to be there at the party despite his sister being there.
"This is not just any ordinary birthday party, Tsuna-kun," Yuuki disclosed, popping a salmon nigari into her mouth. She mentally moaned as she savored the delicacy. Hey, if no one was eating then she was going to help herself to the food.
"Huh? What do you mean by that, senpai?"
"It's a disadvantage not to participate in a Vongolian Birthday Party," Reborn answered instead, as Yuuki was too occupied with stuffing her face with sushi to reply. From there, Reborn revealed to Tsuna on the true nature of the Vongolian legendary birthday party and how it only happens on every odd year birthdays in the Vongola family. What happens during these parties was that the birthday boy or girl gets to give points for the guests' presents or performances. The one with the highest point will win an elegant prize while the one with the lowest will die.
When Tsuna heard of the consequence for anyone who gets the lowest score, he loudly opposed like usual. "NO WAY! What's up with that!? Why come to celebrate and be killed!?"
"Those are the rules," Reborn casually stated.
"I can't agree to that!"
"Everyone secretly prepared just for this day."
"That's why they've been acting weird…" Tsuna said, remembering the strange behaviours his friends exhibited throughout the week.
"Come on, Tsuna," Yamamoto urged, nudging Tsuna's shoulder with his elbow. "It's only child's play. Let's go along with it."
"Yamamoto… not again…," Tsuna groaned, tired of Yamamoto's antics.
"Since Yamamoto brought the sushi, he receives 80 points," Reborn explained. "The scores will be posted on the Vongola Judge Board."
Still munching on her food, Yuuki went over to the towering scoreboard – that was swiftly set up by Yuuki while everyone was distracted by Reborn – and placed a sticker of Yamamoto's face beside the 80 mark. "Where did this come from…?" Tsuna softly uttered, gawking at the seemingly sudden appearance of the board.
"80 points aren't bad," Yamamoto grinned, happy with what he got.
"But what's with this kind of situation?" Tsuna continued to gap in disbelief.
"Cheer up, Tsuna-san," Haru blushed. "In order to become the wife of a mafia boss, Haru will get used to this kind of an event. Okay?"
"What are you saying!? Don't just say 'okay'!" Tsuna shouted.
"Hahi," she exclaimed in embarrassment before digging through her bag. "Haru made a present. Since Reborn-chan's suit has always been black, I made a white suit!"
"Wow," Yamamoto uttered, impressed that Haru actually made a suit for Reborn.
"It's even target-patterned!" Haru brought out a small target-pattern suit that would fit an infant. It was expertly tailored and was of fine quality.
"That's a nice suit, Haru-chan," Yuuki commented, now sipping some green tea. With the rim of the cup resting on her lips, Yuuki made a mental note to send a photo over to her parents of Reborn wearing the suit.
"He'll be targeted too easily!" Tsuna shouted, doubting the present was any good.
"HAHI… N-Now you mention it…." Haru stuttered.
"No need to worry, Haru-chan," Yuuki assured the girl as she took the present and handed it over to Reborn. "Reborn like these sort of thrilling clothes, don't you Reborn?"
"That is correct. 85 points." Yuuki placed Hana's sticker a bit above Yamamoto's as instructed.
"Yay! I did it!"
"Aren't you being too easy?" Tsuna asked Reborn.
"You think?"
"I'm next," Bianchi declared, standing up. "I'm going to celebrate Reborn's birthday with genuine Italian pizza tossing."
Bianchi tossed the dough into the air. It twirled and landed on her hand, continuing to spin. It grew bigger and bigger. Everything was fine at first and everyone was amazed by her performance, but then the enjoyment quickly ended when the dough started to cut things up. Fearing for their lives, everyone, excluding Yuuki and Reborn, fled to avoid getting sliced by the dangerous dough. Reborn and Yuuki calmly watched the performance in a safe area outside of the dough's range, unconcerned by the destruction around them. While watching the act, Yuuki had a sudden craving for popcorn to munch on.
"That's my new technique," Bianchi finally finished, holding a massive size pizza dough in her hands.
"It was pretty good. 90 points," Reborn praised. Yuuki stepped around the debris to add another sticker to the board.
"Yes!" Bianchi cheered, clenching her fist in victory.
"Bianchi-san, you're great," Hana congratulated, the previous danger swiftly forgotten from her mind.
"Tough competition," Yamamoto noted, going back to his normal, carefree self.
"I'm going to cook this now," Bianchi announced leaving the room. Hmm, maybe this time Yuuki will get to try out Bianchi's cooking and test her immune-to-all-poison theory.
"My turn," Yuuki declared, bringing out the present she was carrying this morning. She placed the box onto the table in front of Reborn. "This is something from my parents and I. Mom is sorry for not being able to be here to celebrate your birthday, Reborn, but she sends you her wishes."
"No worries. Tell your mom that it's fine," Reborn said opening his present. Standing on the table was an impressive-looking, silver-colored espresso machine.
"It's a specialized espresso machine created with Mugen's own technology," Yuuki explained. "It fast, powerful, lightweight, and have multiple features like numerous compartments where you can store things: weapons, poisons, bullets, or even your cups."
"Wow," Yamamoto gawked.
"That's so impressive!" Haru mused, admiring the shining machine.
"Thank you. I have been meaning to get a new one – 95 points."
Yuuki smiled, not caring about the points. She was simply happy that Reborn had liked their gift. Next up was Tsuna who didn't have any present or performance planned because he didn't know about the party until this afternoon. He even started to say that he had no time to plan anything like Lambo, but Lambo surprised him by saying that he had prepared a gift for Reborn. It was a Lambo stick made from his hair and a chopstick. This instantly earned him 1 point from Reborn.
Yuuki wasn't too surprised by his scoring. She too would have given the same score, not liking the gift at all. She wouldn't mind a really messy drawing or something, but that stick of his was uncreative and pretty much disgusting. Soon it was Tsuna's turn to present a gift to Reborn. He would have to come up with something fast or he would get shot in the head by Reborn for forfeiting with 0 points. Luckily, with Bianchi out of the picture, Gokudera became well enough to help him. Gokudera decided to pair up with Tsuna and do a magic trick for Reborn.
At first, he had gone to Yamamoto for help, but the baseball-loving boy turned the proposal down. Seeing this as an opportunity to not get killed by Reborn, Tsuna readily agreed. Thus, Gokudera had Tsuna go inside one of those magician box and locked him inside. After showing everyone that the box has not been tampered with, Gokudera got ready to stick very sharp swords into Tsuna while wishing him luck in dodging them.
Hearing this, Tsuna realized how dangerous the 'trick' was and why Yamamoto had denied Gokudera's request. He started to freak out and saying that he will surely die from this trick. This prompted Reborn to shot Tsuna with the Dying-Will bullet. In his Dying-Will mode, Tsuna started stabbing himself with the swords. Due from the damage of the swords, the door broke open to reveal Tsuna's body all tangled up like a human pretzel. He has successfully done the trick and everyone was amazed – he even gotten 100 points from Reborn.
Likewise, when Tsuna soon went back to normal, he was not able to maintain his flexibility and injured himself. So, he was quickly sent to the hospital where he stayed for his birthday. Yuuki did made sure to visit him and give him his birthday gift though – a magnificent birthday cake, so it can't be all that bad.

It was Saturday and Yuuki was spending her peaceful time reading a fictional novel on her couch. It was about two modern-day sisters getting transported back in time where they get to demonstrate some girl-power. There was also some romance too, but not too much that it becomes those disgusting romance novels (A/N: More information will be provided below; I also do not own the book).
Anyway, it was one of those rare days where she had little to no work to do; her student council work was all caught up; Reborn didn't need her for the day; and despite her growing network, no clients were yet aware of her station in Namimori and so there was no clients for her to take.
Although, the peace eventually came to an end. As Yuuki flipped the page of her book, an alarm suddenly blared through the house. Snapping into action, Yuuki jumped over the couch while simultaneously pulling out a long katana from between the cushions. Once on her feet, Yuuki silently ran to her miniature library. The room had bookshelves along the walls, a cushy, brown armchair and a side table – basically, a Victorian-like or European-like design.
Yuuki crossed the room to get to one section of the bookshelf. From there she immediately reached out and tugged on a generic-looking book. A familiar 'click' was heard before all the walls flipped revealing a large computer and shelves upon shelves of weaponry. In the dim-lit room, Yuuki headed towards the computer where she started to pull up images from her security cameras. Using the cameras, she scanned the property, looking for the intruder.
Everything looked fine, nothing seemed to be out of place or broken. It wasn't until she got to her front gate that she saw the damage. Different sections of the ground and walls were opened to revealed damaged guns, flamethrowers, saws, tasers, and other parts of the security system. It looked like someone have managed to breech her security system which was an amazing feat in of itself.
The security system was not just some regular, weak security systems that anyone can get through with enough skills. They were specially created by the Mugen's technology and so it would take a while for someone to try to get in, leaving the members of the household enough time to come out and take care of the intruders themselves.
A bit worried by who this person may be, Yuuki quickly check the other cameras in hopes to see the trespasser. Once she did, however, she felt relieved and a bit apprehensive. There, walking up the paths to her front door was Hibari. It seemed that instead of taking the front door like a regular person he tried to climb over the walls which triggered the security system. The smashed technology was simply the result of him defending himself – not that he came out of it unscratched.
Sighing, Yuuki walked out of the room, the walls behind her flipping back to their regular state. Carrying her katana with her, she walked to the front door where she heard Hibari angrily knocking on it. She knew that Hibari would most likely bust her door down if she doesn't open it soon. Unlocking the door, she tugged it open, revealing her guest.
Hibari stood glowering at Yuuki. His uniform was in disarray with slits, holes, burned patches, and missing pieces. He was fortunately uninjured, but was instead dirty from dust and debris while being slightly charred from the flames. Hibari glared at the girl, silently blaming her for the state of his uniform. His fingers twitched, sorely tempted to take out his tonfas and bite the insolent girl to death.
Yuuki sighed, knowing the reason for his sour mood. "Come on in," she invited, stepping to the side. "I'll make sure to compensate you for your uniform and get you a new one. For now, though, I have some clothes you can temporarily use."
Hibari entered the house, taking his time to admire the home. Yuuki closed the door, staring at Hibari as he moved around the perimeter. "I would suggest that you use the front door next time to avoid any more incidents."
Hibari shot a defiant glare at Yuuki, showing her exactly what he thought of her suggestion. Shaking her head at Hibari's typical behavior, Yuuki went to get him some clothes to change into. Hibari took this time to explore the house. The house was like any other typical Japanese-styled house.
Along some of the walls were pictures. Some portrayed Yuuki with a green-colored, long-haired man and a shoulder-length, brown-haired woman. Others had her with a group of boys. There were even some with different men in black suits. What really got Hibari attention were pictures of her younger self with an older man who looked quite familiar to Hibari, he just can't remember who. When he tried to find more photos of the two, specifically with an older version of Yuuki, he couldn't find any. The only ones he can find where photos of her older self with the people before and Reborn. It was puzzling. Why was there no more photos of the two? Was the man gone? Did he die?
As Hibari pondered, Yuuki appeared from down the hall with a bundle of clothes in her hands. She handed the bundle to Hibari. "Here you go, I hope they fits. The bathroom is down the hall to the left."
Taking the bundle, Hibari headed off to change his clothes. Yuuki watched him go until he disappeared from her sight. Heading back to the living, she sat onto her couch and went back to her reading.
Eventually she stopped her reading when she noticed Hibari entering the room wearing a white t-shirt and gray sweat pants. So, absorbed in her reading that she seemed to lose her sense of time. Taking a look at the clock mounted to the wall, she noticed that roughly two hours have passed. After finished changing, Hibari probably took his time to scope out her home. Yuuki didn't particularly care what he does. All important information or secrets were securely tucked away from public view. One example was her library.
"Now that you're done with your snooping, can I ask for the reason of your visit?" Yuuki asked, looking over her shoulder at Hibari. After surveying the room, Hibari walked around the couch with Yuuki's eyes on him. He plopped down onto the couch. Reaching into his pocket, he took out an envelope.
Yuuki took the envelope and raised an eyebrow, questionably at him. "It's from the baby." He replied, looking at Yuuki from the corner of his eyes.
With furrowed eyebrows, Yuuki opened the envelope and read the letter inside. It took Yuuki a few seconds to finish reading the content. "Interesting," Yuuki muttered before ripping the letter into shreds, ignoring the questioning look Hibari shot at her.
"Are you staying for dinner?" She asked, getting up from the couch.
"You owe me," Hibari reminded her, giving her a look.
"I already said that I would get you a new uniform." Yuuki rolled her eyes, but went to the kitchen to make dinner anyway. Grabbing the ingredients from the fridge, Yuuki decided on making hamburger steak and some side dishes. Since she knew that hamburger steak was Hibari's favorite food, she hoped it will help to appease him from his previous irritation with her.
As Yuuki cooked, she could hear the sounds of footsteps as Hibari entered the kitchen. She couldn't see what he was doing, but she could feel his eyes watching her form as she cooked. Reaching for one of her spices, she peaked through the corner of her eyes to see Hibari leaning against the door frame, just watching her. She continued her cooking, her relaxed form concealed the fact that his stares were making her nervous.
While Yuuki cooked, Hibari examined this mysterious being called, 'Yuuki'. Ever since he met Yuuki, he always found her to be interesting yet perplexing to an extent. She was different from any herbivore he had ever seen. She was not afraid to fight Hibari, to stand up to him, and she was strong enough to spare with him. At this day and age, it was rare to find a strong female like her. Furthermore, she was also willing to submit to Hibari, especially with some of his demands. Not all the time though, mostly depending on Hibari's mood and the nature of those requests. The female was fierce and strong yet soft and emotional, it reminds him of his idiot-of-a-father in a way. At first, he respected her. Then he found himself trusting her to have his back. Now though, it was a whole new level of feelings.
This view of her doing something domestic as cooking only strengthen those feelings. It was quite different to the image he has of her being a vicious predator and instead of it being irritating for Hibari, a sense of warmth pooled in his gut. He knew what was happening, of what was building up the past few weeks and he didn't care too much about it. He always knew what he wanted, and this was no exception.
As Yuuki started to finish up her cooking, she noticed some movement. Turning, she saw Hibari looking around her kitchen. Opening one of the cupboards, he took out the plates and started to set up the table. Yuuki paused, slightly surprised by his actions, before going back to her cooking. Her heart fluttered from the caring action Hibari displayed. He didn't need to do it and yet he did.
Watching from the corner of his eyes, Hibari took notice of the slightly blush on Yuuki's face and felt pleased by it. He knew that doing this would make the woman happy – his father had done it and it always made his mother happy. With a soft smile of appreciation, Yuuki brought their food to the table where Hibari sat, waiting. Taking a seat, the two got ready to eat. "Itadakimasu," they both said softly before digging into their meal.
Once they finished eating and the dishes washed and put away, Yuuki took note of the time. It was quite late and Yuuki wondered if it was ok to let Hibari go home at this hour. It probably was, since he can take care of himself, but Yuuki decided to let him stay anyway.
"Hey Hibari-kun, why don't you-," she paused when she saw that Hibari have found one of her guest rooms and was already settling in, "-stay over for the night…?"
Shrugging, Yuuki left him alone and went back to her own bedroom to get ready for bed.
Since that night, Hibari seemed to take the invitation as permission to come over to Yuuki's house and stay whenever he wants. This meant constant visits from the skylark and the multiple destruction of newly-replaced security systems. Eventually Yuuki got tired of having to replace her security system each time Hibari visited. Therefore, she instead just gave Hibari a spare house key so that he wouldn't have to keep on climbing over her walls and triggering her security systems which would resulted in them getting destroyed.
After that, things settled with Hibari slowly becoming a permanent resident at Yuuki's household which resulted in less incidences with destroyed security systems.

Disciplinary Committee Room
Yuuki was sitting in the reception room, holding the fort down for Hibari while he went on a patrol around the school. Hibari's right hand man, Tetsuya Kusakabe, couldn't do it because he was off on some sort of errand for Hibari. Thus, Yuuki offered her help since she was free. While there, she also helped with some of Hibari's paperwork; sorting them and leaving important documents asides for Hibari to look over and sign.
As Yuuki worked, the reception room's door slid open. Hibari entered, a bit of dust littered on his uniform. "How was the patrol?" Yuuki asked not looking up from the mountain of papers before her.
"I had to discipline some herbivore. Call the usual crew to clean up the mess."
"Alright then," Yuuki read the content of the paper in one hand while she reached over for her phone. Hibari sat on the sofa while Yuuki made the call.
"Hello, this is Suzuki's Cleaning Services. How may I help you?"
"Ah, Suzuki-san, this is Yuuki calling."
"Oh my, Yuuki-kun! What a pleasant surprise! What will it be this time?" The woman asked, voice raising in volume with each suggestion given, "Corpses? Body parts? Torture room? A room bathed in blood? The elimination of unwanted pest?!"
Yuuki could hear the woman puffing from exertion as she waited for Suzuki to catch her breath. "No, just the usual injured students and possibly destroyed landscapes."
"Boo~," Yuuki could hear the pout in Suzuki's voice. "Ever since you got into that stupid school, there nothing interesting for me to clean up."
Yuuki sighed. The Suzuki's Cleaning Service was one of many cleaning crews that worked for the Mugen and who was in alliance with them. Suzuki may be a bit bizarre with her strange hobbies of guts, gore and destruction, but her company at least get their job done properly. "Just send a crew over, Suzuki-san."
"Fine," Suzuki pouted, immaturely hanging up on Yuuki. Hearing the dial tone, Yuuki could only shake her head at the woman's childishness. Placing her cellphone away after the call, she went back to her work.
"She's being bothersome again," Hibari asked, seeing the look on Yuuki's face. He leaned back in the sofa, feeling content.
"Yeah. She's upset that there was nothing interesting to clean up."
"I'll just make sure to cause more bleeding next time, then," Hibari smirked. Yuuki smiled in amusement as she detected the slight teasing tone in his voice.
BOOOM!
The sudden explosion, rocked the school and causing Hibari to tense up. He growled, narrowing his eyes at the window where he could see smoke coming from the rooftop at the other wing of the school building. "Everything's fine, Hibari-kun," Yuuki said, unperturbed by the explosion.
"Why's that?" Hibari asked, turning his attention to her.
"It's simply one of Reborn's antics. I already have the report ready on what happened and on the new visitor, I-pin." Yuuki held out a pile of papers towards Hibari. Getting up from the sofa, Hibari went over and took the pile from Yuuki. Leaning against the desk, Hibari read over the report.
"The baby, huh," Hibari muttered as he read. The school-no, the whole town should be grateful that Yuuki was there. She can't control him, because no one can control Hibari, but she was at least able to appease Hibari to a certain extent. Likewise, why would she control Hibari anyway? That wild side of Hibari was what attracted Yuuki in the first place.
-`ღ´-
"Hello? This is Kimura Yuuki speaking," Yuuki said answering her cellphone. She was currently at the Disciplinary Committee room doing some student council work. It sometime gets lonely in the student council room without any members and since Hibari was at the school, she decided on having him as a company while she work.
"Ciaossu," Reborn replied.
"Hello Reborn, do you need anything?"
"I need you to get Tsuna out of jail."
Yuuki raised an eyebrow, wondering if this was caused by one of Reborn's antics again. "Why is Tsuna-kun in jail?"
"He chased after some pick-pocket thieves who was targeting Nana."
Yuuki knew there was more to the story than that, but she can fill in the blanks later. "Alright, I'll head over there right away."
Yuuki hung up and turned to inform Hibari about her errand. "Hibari-kun, I need to go do a favor for Reborn. I will be back soon for my work."
"All right, don't take too long," Hibari muttered, signing a document. "I will be expecting a report afterwards."
"Hai, hai," Yuuki waved as she exited the room.
It didn't take too long for Yuuki to arrive at the police station. Entering the building, she walked passed the front desk and to the holding facility. No one paid her too much attention, having recognize her from her reputation and constant visit to the station.
When she entered the area, she came upon a policeman glaring at Tsuna who stood handcuffed inside the holding cell in only his boxer. "Hello Sakamaki-san," Yuuki called out, gaining the two's attention.
"Yuuki-senpai!" Tsuna cried, happy to see her.
"Yuuki-san, what are you doing here?" The policeman questioned, confused.
"I'm here to bail him out," Yuuki tiled her head towards Tsuna. "Do me a favor and uncuff him, please."
"B-But…" The policeman was reluctant to release the obscene pervert.
"The police owe me," Yuuki stressed, sending him an stern look.
The man frown and narrowed his eyes at Tsuna, but let him go in the end. While wearing Yuuki's blazer that engulfed his small frame, Tsuna and Yuuki exited the police station.
"Thank you for bailing me out, Yuuki-senpai," Tsuna thanked, simply happy to be out.
"No need to thank me. It was simply a favor from Reborn."
"How come the police know you, anyway? What did you mean when you said that the police owe you?" Tsuna curiously asked.
"The police forces are sometime clients of mine. I helped provide them with information about some of their cases and in return they owe me favors." Yuuki shrugged as though it was no big deal. It really wasn't when you consider her other high-powered clients.
Tsuna stared at Yuuki in both awe and slight fear. He never knew how powerful an informant can be. After dropping Tsuna off at his house, Yuuki went back to school where Hibari was waiting for her.
The book series I was talking about is the River of Time series by Lisa Tawn Bergren, one of my favourite book series.
