Chapter nine

'' Are you trying to irritate me, Dino-san?'' she said with a frown.

'' -Chuckling- no, so what are you planning to do?'' asked Dino.

'' Nothing in particular, few threats and blackmail would do just fine.'' she said in a calm tone.

''-raise an eyebrow- it is funny how you talk about threats and blackmailing people like you are making a grocery list'' he said.

she chuckled at his comment before she started coughing and groaning in pain. Dino helped to lie down.

'' you need to rest, your injuries are still healing'' he advised.

'' yeah, I am no Hibari'' she mumbled with a smile.

''-laughing- that's right, so don't go around fighting'' he responded.

Act four

*Skylark, Trickster and the mafia

(Hibari's fifteen year old) (The ring battles)

(In the discipline committee room)

Rio was on her way to the discipline committee/ reception room. She was about to deliver the reports for the clubs' meeting that Hibari avoided. it was after school and she was about to go home. she was sipping her orange juice before she heard strange voice from the room.

'' you are Hibari Kyōya, right?'' asked a male voice from inside the room.

''….and you are..?'' asked a familiar perfect's voice.

'' I am like Tsuna's big brother and also an acquaintance of Reborn. I want to talk about the ring with cloud symbol on it'' said the male voice.

Tsuna? ,does he mean Sawada Tsunayoshi?, Dame-Tsuna?, big brother? as far as she knew Sawada had no siblings.

Rio raised an eyebrow at the words of the man said. Reborn? who was that? a student at the school …no she never heard of such name.

Ring with cloud symbol? Is he talking about the same ring she and Kusakabe delivered to Hibari this morning?

a lot of questions raced in the mind of the little trickster and she didn't like leaving them unanswered.

'' oh, the baby's…then you must be strong'' said Hibari.

Rio could hear the smirk and amusement in his voice, which send shiver through her spine. Hibari was pleased and amused and it creped her out. Who the hell is the baby Hibari and the mind talking about. who is the man? More questions popped in her mind and left her more confused.

'' talking about the ring is not of my concern as long as I can bite you to death'' said Hibari with a smirk.

Rio facepalmed herself .Hibari was Hibari and the only thing on his mind is biting anyone to death. Other things are just not as important as beating people to blood pulps.

''a see a problematic kid indeed.'' mumbled the man,

Rio almost laughed. Calling Hibari a problematic kid was the understatement of the year. He was the king of problematic kid to say at least.

''That's fine, this way things will go faster,'' said the man.

Rio almost split her orange juice. She couldn't believe her ears. she used to hearing strange things but what the man just said was just unbelievable stupid. Did he just accept Hibari challenge?

She peeked through the doorway to see Hibari ready to fight and the back of the man talking. the man was in his twenties with blond hair that reached his shoulders. he was wearing a long green coat with black fur on the hood. There was another man behind him in his late thirties or in his forties in black suit.

'' -sigh- another weird one?-chukling- I have no right to talk about strange people when I am working with Hibari.'' she mumbled.

'' Hibari-san ,if you are going to fight go to the rooftop…. don't make a mess in the reception room because I am not cleaning bloodstains ever again'' she said with digested expression as she leaned on the doorframe. cleaning after Hibari was never a pleasant thing.

they seem to notice her presence but they expressed it difference. Hibari give her a death glare and the strange man gave her a small smile.

'' hello.'' he said.

'' hi, no mess please and beside the roof more suited for battle and the mess will be cleaned by the students'' she said.

'' fine. what did you want?'' asked Hibari in irritation.

'' mm it can wait. I don't know what is going on or what are you getting yourself into or how it is related to Sawada ?. just don't make me come to visit you in the hospital…. I hate hospitals.'' she said the last part with a deadly tone. she hated no detested hospitals.

'' you don't need to worry.'' said the man.

'' I am not'' she deadpanned.

the man gave her a confused look and she sighed.

'' Mr.…? you will know what I mean for yourself. Now take it to the roof better yet take outside the school.'' she said.

'' it's Dino'' said the man in a cheerful and nice tone. she was slightly taken back.

'' Yukimuara Rio. Hibari-san if you need me you know how to get me '' she said before turning around and leaving the room.

'' shall we….be..'' before Dino could complete his sentence Hibari charged at him with his tonfas.

On the rooftop.

Rio was having her lunch and watching the fight between Hibari and Dino.

'' on top of the school's roof, how memorable, I like this place, you know'' said Dino as he stretched his weapon of choice a whip.

''Then I'll let you stay here forever'' said Hibari.

'' After I make you grovel '' he continued as he charged at the blonde man.

Hibari aimed for the head but Dino stopped his tonfas with his wipe before it reached his face.

'' for your age, you're pretty good'' said Dino

'' what are you saying? I am going easy on you'' said Hibari as he attacked Dino's head. Dino seemed to be taken back but he dodged it.

'' too bad'' said Dino with amused smile.

'' you are too easy, just die'' said Hibari as he swung his tonfas toward Dino with an attempt to crack his skull.

Hibari looked surpirsed

Rio was too focused on Hibari's violent attacks that she was too late to notice how Dino bended Hibari's right hand with his wipe .

the wipe was wrapped around the emergence stair case and iron pipe then around Hibari's arm.

'' you are still a frog in a well. I don't want you be satisfied only at this level.'' said Dino.

'' what the hell he is taking about?'' mumled Rio as she sipped her orange juice.

Hibari said nothing , he stared at Dino.

'' I will have you become stronger Kyōya'' continued Dino

Rio was speechless but not for long.

'' No'' said Hibari before he used brutal force to land a direct on the blonde man.

'' hey, you'' said Dino after he avoided Hibari's hit.

'' I can't tell what pissed him more. Dino-san referring to him as frog or telling him he will make him stronger or Dino-san calling him Kyōya'' said Rio to herself as she glanced at the man in black next to her.

'' your blonde friend is amazing. He avoided a direct hit from Hibari. he has my respect'' said Rio as shoved another egg roll into her mouth.

'' Hibari-san is quite strong'' stated the man in black.

'' of course he is. if you don't mind me asking who are you?'' she asked.

''Dino-san is my boss. my name is Romario'' he responded.

'' it is nice to meet you Romario-san but could tell me why your boss is fighting Hibari-san'' she questioned

Romario looked at the girl. she did seem to be trust worthy so he told her about the ring battle and how Hibari was chosen as the holder of the cloud ring and the Dino was send as tutor to train him. he left the part about the mafia and the Vongola so she would be safe.

she didn't understand what he meant by ring battle but saying that Dino will be Hibari's tutor was just insane.

All of Hibari's teachers cower in fear in front of him and they try to avoid him as much as they can. She remembered that one accident in which the teacher dared to talk back to Hibari. It wasn't a pretty sight. As far as she knew, the teacher never taught again.

two hours later in the student council room

Rio was signing the last few papers about the sports' festival.

'' I wonder if Hibari-san won. the man didn't look weak'' she mumbled.

'' They are still fighting but outside of the school ground'' said the man named Romario.

'' what ? are you serious. I guess it better if they left the school but why are you telling that'' she said.

'' I only came to inform you so you don't worry about your friend. he is in good hands'' he responded.

''-snickering- I am not the least bit worried about Hibari-san and he isn't my friend. We are simple classmates. On the other hand if Hibari-san grow stronger things would get interesting. Well I think it will take some time but until then I will just have to wait to stir things up'' relied Rio.

'' you don't seem to be shocked about the events happening he stated

''-smile- why should I ? I have been around strange things since the beginning of this year and may be before that. Nothing surprise me anymore.'' she said.

Romario left but questions filled his minds.

''Namimori middle school has some interesting individuals'' he mumbled.

End of act four.

next act will be the final one titled '' The Head perfect and The Chiavarone 's informer''

back to the storyline

'' I can't help to impressed at how you do things ?''stated Dino as he watched Rio skimming through files, searching through her laptop, reading a book, taking notes , texting ,drinking coffee and eating cake in the same time.

'' yeah, multitasking is both a curse and a bless '' she mumbled in uninterested tone.

'' -chuckling- it looks more like an extreme version of multitasking.'' he stated as she nodded in his direction then started dialing a number on her cell phone.

'' good afternoon Isamu listen … I don't want to talk about it not now … … later.. ….I don't give a damn about your opinion…...I will come to visit on the holidays. …no I can't…. I am busy this weekend…. I don't care if you have a date…excuse me what do you mean I don't have a life. just because my life isn't like yours doesn't mean I don't have one…..leave Kyōya-san out of it…. I have known him for more than a decade. it is normal to use his first name….. don't get delusional Isamu…damn you this is business call not a social call….. just zip it scum….. what do you mean I should watch my language… enough already….I just wanted to knew about the recent disturbance… you should knew you are the head of the god damn police department…yes -nodding- next to abandoned warehouse… a Yukuza group?...-writing in the notepad- yes ….okay… I have no interest in talking with you about my love life…. what? how is my boss related to this… Dino-san has nothing to do it. …sorry but you should get that head yours checked. …I have no love interest and if I did I wouldn't be telling you…and I don't care about your girlfriend … sometimes you make me regret not letting Kyōya-san bite you to death … yeah bye get some therapy '' she said on the phone before slamming it shut in irritation.

'' Isamu, isn't that your friend from middle school'' asked Dino.

'' more or less. he was the student council president in both middle school and high school. I was his vice. he is joined the police force after graduating from Tokyo university and now…he is head of the police department… he comes in handy sometimes'' she responded.

'' he knows about your connection to the mafia?'' he stated/asked.

''-frown- unfortunately he does.'' she said as she continued searching on her laptop.

'' but he is a police officer.'' said Dino.

'' oh, it is partly my fault for telling him but don't worry he is too much of coward to say anything after all he has a reputation to mention'' said Rio in irritated and quit depressing voice.

Dino never saw her like that before she always smile or grin at the thought of threatening or blackmailing someone but she didn't seem pleased.

'' were you two close?'' asked Dino.

''-spitting her coffee- HOT….HOT'' she shouted as she tried to clean the mess the hot drink made.

'' Are you okay?'' asked Dino in worry.

'' yeah I am fine. it was spilled on the bed cover not me.'' she replied as she throw the bed cover a way.

'' I need to change. '' she stated and Dino left her to change her cloth and sort her things.

A few minutes later she came wearing a long purple night gown and a light brown jacket. She went to the kitchen then come back to Dino who sitting in the living room.

'' here'' she said as she gave him a cup of tea ,plate biscuits and short cakes.

'' you shouldn't have.'' said Dino as he helped her to the couch.

'' you are my guest. I consider myself a good host so don't sweat it. it is a matter of pride.'' she said as tried to comfortable on the couch.

'' well thank you'' said Dino with a smile.

'' my pleasure. '' she responded.

'' so you haven't answered my question'' said Dino with a grin. he was curious.

'' mah, wouldn't you drop it. I could give a very detailed answer about my relationship with Isamu but I will make it short he is my ex'' she answered.

'' ex… ex what ? Ex-boyfriend'' he questioned.

'' mm not quite right. more like my ex-husband'' replied Rio with uninterested tone.

''- spit his tea in shock- you were married?'' stated Dino in surprise.

He stood up and spilled all the tea on the floor. His clumsiness was taking the best of him. he almost knocked the plate of biscuits and short cakes but he caught just in time .

''Yeah, should I get you another cup of tea?'' she asked in a calm manner.

'' don't change the subject Rio. when ? how come I didn't know?. I have known you since you were in middle school and joined us in high school.'' he said in shocked and surprised voice.

'' I wonder if Kus-san and Kyōya-san will be surprised as well. Kus-san may be . Kyōya-san will just act indifference and why I was wasting his time or I made a terrible choice in a husband.'' she mumbled to herself.

'' Could at least my questions?'' he asked as he reseated himself on the sofa.

'' How should I start?'' she wondered as she tapped the table with her fingers.
