A Little Jealousy Never Hurt
Summary: Hibari Kyouya was a lot of things but jealous – that was of course before Reborn decided to have a little fun and pair Tsuna with his other guardians. Can the prefect continue to maintain his cool or will he finally snap? TsunaxAll; TsunaxHibari
Pairings: Main is HibarixTsuna and GokuderaxYamamoto. Other pairings are basically TsunaxMukuro, TsunaxGokudera, TsunaxDino, TsunaxA!Reborn etc.
A/N: First KHR fic, so please be kind. There are lots of pairings involved, but in the end this will be a HibarixTsuna. Warnings of OCC-ness. Also, this title is only temporary – can't think of a nicer one at the moment. Lastly, please leave me some reviews; I'd really love to see what you guys think.

CHAPTER 11: Ice Cream Bonanza
…
…
"Judaime, you're getting better at this!" Gokudera smiled as he watched Tsuna solve the problems written on his paper. Today was a Saturday but since their professor had given them a number of assignments the day before, the group then decided to hold a study session in Tsuna's house.
"How about me Gokudera? How am I doing?" Yamamoto grinned.
"Who cares about you, you baseball-freak!"
"Aww come on 'Dera don't be like that!" The swordsman pouted as he placed an arm around the teen's shoulders. "How come Tsuna gets all the praise? I'm really starting to get jealous." He joked as he clung to the teen even more.
"Fine, fine!" The Italian growled as he grabbed the man's paper from the table. "You got numbers 1, 2, 4 and 5 right. Look over your number 3…you got careless with the signs." He uttered while rolling his eyes in obvious dismay. Yamamoto chuckled and was about to comment when Lambo and I-pin suddenly burst into the room.
"Nyahaha! You can't catch me!" The cow howled as he started running around.
"Lambo! Stop!" Ipin exclaimed as she tried to calm her friend down. The Thunder Guardian blatantly ignored her and continued to jump up and down Tsuna's bed. Gokudera felt a nerve twitch.
" Nyayaya! Lambo-chan's the greatest!" He shouted out. "No one can ever compare to Lambo-chan!" He continued while laughing like mad.
"Shut up, you stupid cow! Can't you see we're studying here?" The bomber snapped as he slammed his fists on the table.
"Tch. You're just jealous of Lambo-chan's awesomeness." The baby hitman mocked as he continued on with his rampage. Gokudera growled in annoyance as he suddenly grabbed the baby by the scruff of the neck. "Let go aho'dera!" Lambo cried as he began to struggle from the older teens grasp. "I said let go!"
"Shut up!" The bomber seethed angrily ignoring the small sobs from the guardian.
"M-must calm down…" Lambo murmured while trying to hold back tears. Unfortunately, he wasn't able hold it much longer as he suddenly broke down crying. "Waaa-" He sobbed before rummaging through his afro. Tsuna instantly paled as he watched the Bovino take a dozen mini grenades from his hair and throw it all over the place.
"O-Out the window! Hurry!" Tsuna gasped as Gokudera threw the cow over the bed to help the brunette gather the explosives and hurl them outside the window. A loud boom was heard after a short while followed by a tremor, which shook the entire house. Tsuna heaved a sigh of relief as leaned against the wall for support. Dealing with Lambo was definitely nerve-wracking.
"You fucking cow!" Gokudera suddenly roared. "Didn't Judaime tell you to get rid of those stuff! What if they exploded inside the house! Maybe I should just shave your head so you won't be able to stack anymore dangerous items." He continued, irritably as Lambo began to snivel.
"Such ruckus." A small voice interrupted as Tsuna turned to see his home tutor leaning against the doorway.
"Tch. Blame it on the stupid cow!" Gokudera scoffed. "He started it!"
"D-did not! Liar, Liar Pants on Fire!" The baby retorted as Reborn merely rolled his eyes.
"How about I put you on fire, you little piece of shi—" The bomber seethed before taking out several dynamites. Tsuna paled.
"Hmm…It seems all of you need cool your heads a bit." The arcobaleno began. "How about we all just take a break and have some ice cream."
"I-ice cream?" Lambo drooled, instantly forgetting his feud with Gokudera.
Reborn nodded. "You know the park near Namimori High? I heard an ice-cream vendor comes there every weekend. Haru said it was one of the best." He added before looking at Tsuna who simply nodded in reply.
"Ice cream sounds nice." Yamamoto laughed.
"I-Ipin wants one too…"
"Then it's settled." Reborn grinned. "Go clean up. I'll wait for all of you downstairs." He uttered as Tsuna and the others nodded their understanding.
…

-o-o-o-o-

The group arrived in the park 15 minutes after they left the house. They then proceeded towards the center where a small ice cream stand was set up. "Lambo wants chocolate, hazelnut, vanilla, strawberry, cookies and cream, rocky-road and pistachio." The baby hitman exclaimed as he scanned through the flavors. The mere sight of the frozen delight was enough to make him drool.
"You can only get two flavors!" Tsuna scolded. "You might not be able to eat dinner later if you eat too much now."
"Ehhh? Now way! That's unfair!"
"Listen to Judaime, you greedy cow!" Gokudera scoffed as he and the others lined up to place their orders.
"Stiiiinnngggy!" The hitman pouted.
"Shut up, stupid cow! It's either that or go home!"
"Enough." Reborn exclaimed before turning to Tsuna. "You and the idiot cow place your orders first. Once you two are done, do us a favor and find us some seats." He continued as the brunette merely nodded his assent.
"Lambo, go place your order…"
"B-but…I want all of them." The baby whimpered when Reborn reached for Leon, who instantly turned into a gun.
"Choose two, ahoushi…or I'll choose for you!" He grinned sadistically as he aimed the green shooter on his forehead. Lambo gulped before hurriedly picking two random flavors from the selection. "That's better. How about you Dame-Tsuna?"
"I'll take French Vanilla." The brunette replied as he handed his payment to the lady in the counter. She smiled as she then passed both Tsuna and Lambo their treats. The baby hitman jumped for joy as Tsuna on the other hand glanced at his friends, uncertainly. "Umm so…Lambo and I are going look for some seats. Come follow us when you guys are done okay?"
"Of course Judaime!" Gokudera exclaimed as Yamamoto dragged him towards the stand while carrying Ipin, who excitedly scanned through the flavors. The bomber glared at the man and eventually started a tirade. He obviously didn't like being man-handled. Reborn grinned as he watched the two argue then at Tsuna's retreating back. They were all so busy doing their own thing that they never noticed the little yellow bird perch down his shoulder.

Hibari sat wordlessly in his chair as he scanned through a couple of documents regarding their school's upcoming festival. As the chairman of the Disciplinary Committee it was his duty to sort out the activities as well as the probable budget for the event. It was a tedious task but he enjoyed every minute of it. "Hibari Hibari!" A small voice cooed, interrupting the prefect from his work. "Hibari!" It reiterated as a little yellow bird suddenly came flying from the open window. The teen smiled as he watched the chick flap its wings and eventually perch on his shoulder. After a few minutes, Hibird jumped down his shoulder and into his desk. He then looked at his owner and lifted his leg, where a small paper was tied. The Cloud Guardian looked at it skeptically before carefully taking the small message, and reading it for himself.
Namimori Park:
A lovers tryst
Is where trouble arise
"A lover's tryst?" The prefect mumbled to no one in particular before crumpling the piece of paper and throwing it in the trash bin. "I could hardly care. I'll let Kusaka—" He stated when Hibird suddenly flapped his wings.
"Herbivore! Herbivore!" He cooed as Hibari raised a brow. Was Hibird trying to tell him something? Come to think of it, who the hell sent him this note anyway? Apparently whoever it was seemed intent on getting him to Namimori Park. In any case a rendezvous or a lover's tryst for that matter wasn't exactly something to be worried about. He didn't care what people did behind his back. As long as they didn't do it in HIS school, then everything was fine. "Herbivore!" The small bird reiterated, as he began to fly around the room in a desperate attempt to get his master's attention. Hibari furrowed his brows in confusion. It was obvious that the bird wanted him to go to the park but he wasn't going to waste his time on something so trivial.
"I'll ask Kusaka—"
"Dame-Herbivore Dame herbivore!" Hibird chirped as the Skylark's eyes widened. Dame-Herbivore? He didn't know where Hibird got those stuff but there was only one Dame-herbivore he knew.
"Kusakabe!" The Skylark called his right hand man through the intercom on his table.
"Yes Kyo-san?" A voice queried from the other line.
"Take over for a while. I need to check on something!" He continued before rising from his chair and storming out the reception room. Kusakabe sighed as the line went dead.
…
…
-o-o-o-o-
…
…
As soon as Hibari arrived in the park, the first thing he noticed was the crowds of people. He growled at the sight of them but decided to go through his initial plan and search for the herbivore. "Hibari Hibari!" Hibird chirped as he flew towards the clearing. The dark haired teen frowned as he followed the little bird who led him behind the bushes where he immediately caught site of Tsuna sitting alongside the annoying cow. Although from the looks of it, nothing seemed amiss. The herbivore himself seemed well-behaved as he simply sat there eating his ice cream. Come to think of it – he seemed innocent enough as he continued to eat his treat without a care in the world. It was obvious to him or anyone for that matter, that the boy was immensely enjoying his treat. He was in bliss as he slowly and ever so tantalizingly licked the cold delight as if he were savoring it. Hibari watched as the young Decimo's tongue took the creamy substance into his mouth, while licking his lips in the process. He also noticed the frozen treat slowly begin to melt and trickle down the boy's slender digits.
"Nyahaha Tsuna's a slob!" Lambo laughed.
"You're one to talk!" The brunette retorted as he frantically searched for a napkin to wipe the cream of. When he found none, he decided to the next best thing which was to lick it up. Hibari's eyes widened as he watched the boy's tongue follow the random trails up until he reached the top of the cone. Once that was over, the boy then started to lick his fingers one after the other, lapping the creamy substance.
"Ne, Ne Tsuna! I want more!" Lambo suddenly exclaimed.
"No! I told you, you can only have two flavors!" The brunette scolded. "You might not get to eat dinner later – you'll be too full!"
"No I wooon't!" The cow cried. "Get me! Get me! I want more!"
"No!"
"B-but…"
"No is a no! You already had your share!"
"T-Tsuna is m-mean…mu-must not cry…must stay calm!" The cow sniffed when he suddenly burst into tears. Tsuna gaped when he suddenly took out the Juunen Bazooka from his hair and shot. Fortunately for him, the people around the area had either left or were too busy minding their own business to take notice. A loud boom was heard as the area was suddenly shrouded with pink smoke. When it finally cleared Tsuna found himself face to face with that an older version of his Thunder Guardian.
"La-Lambo!" Tsuna gaped.
"Vongola…" The hitman sighed as he looked around his surroundings. "I take it my past self used the bazooka again?" He queried as the brunette merely nodded his head. "Sorry for the trouble…"
"I-its no problem at all." Tsuna smiled as Lambo looked at him before looking around the area. He frowned.
"It's weird seeing you alone…where's Yamamoto and aho'de…I mean Gokudera?"
"Oh umm…well…they're probably back in the stall. Although, now that I think of it, they should have been here a long time ago. Maybe they found some vacant seats or something."
"I see how about Kyo...erm…your lover…?"
"M-my lover?" Tsuna gaped as Lambo looked at him questioningly before realization hit him.
"Oh…I forgot…this is 10 years in the past…"
"W-wait you mean I get to have a lover in the future?" Tsuna exclaimed as Lambo merely shrugged. The brunette grinned from ear to ear. Lambo had said something about Kyo – no way! Kyo – as in Kyoko? So he and Kyoko were going to be together in the future. The thought in itself was bliss as Tsuna practically swooned.
"Vongola quit day dreaming!" Lambo suddenly cut him off as he glanced at the brunette.
"S-Sorry! I was just taken a back…" He grinned sheepishly as the hitman rolled his eyes in reply. "B-but y-you said…I have a lover? I-is that true? "
"Indeed…a very jealous lover." Lambo grinned. It was a slip of the tongue in his part but then again it wasn't like such a trivial matter would change the future anyway. In any case, the young Vongola seemed ecstatic about the thought of having a precious someone.
"J-jealous?"
"Yup…your lover has quite the mean streak…" Lambo shuddered as Tsuna looked at him questioningly. Kyoko has a mean streak? That was highly unlikely. Then again – he never thought that he and Kyoko would eventually end up together. "Anyway …" The hitman uttered, bringing the brunette back to reality. "Can't you try to eat a little more neatly…?" He murmured before leaning towards Tsuna, who instantly blushed at the proximity. "You have something right here…" He added as he brushed his thumb against the brunette's lip to wipe the cream off. Tsuna blushed as he watched Lambo suddenly lick the substance off his finger. From his hiding place, Hibari felt a nerve twitch. He couldn't hear what the duo was talking about but the sight of them acting so cozy with one another made his blood boil.
"H-Hieee…" Tsuna gaped. "W-What did you do that for!"
"Hmm…what do you mean why…you had ice cream all over your face." The cow retorted, nonchalantly. "Actually you have another smudge here…" He continued as he reached for the Decimo's face for the second time. Hibari growled as he unconsciously walked towards the duo. He was going to bite them for making a scene.
"Herbivore…" He snapped, catching the two's attention. He grinned to himself as both teens instantly paled and jumped to their feet.
"Hi-Hibari-san what are you doing here?" Tsuna gasped as Lambo suddenly hid behind him.
"You never learn, do you herbivore…?"
"Wha-? Wait w-we didn't do anything!" He stammered as he slowly backed away. "L-lambo do something!" He cried.
"Y-you do something. H-he's your lov—" The cow exclaimed when another explosion was heard. The place was engulfed with smoke for the second time that day. Tsuna gaped as a 5 year old Lambo emerged from the smolder a few seconds later.
"Eh? Where am I?" The cow muttered as he looked around the place. It was then that he remembered his earlier quarrel with the young Decimo and without warning started to hit the brunette. "Tsuna! Buy me! Buy me! Buuuuy me!" He howled. "I want ice creaaaam!"
"L-Lambo please keep quiet!" Tsuna hushed, noticing the prefect still looking at them. Aside from him, he also caught sight of several passersby' looking their way.
"NO! I want Ice cream!"
"Lambo!"
"Baka! Baka! Dame-Tsuna!" The cow shouted.
"Lambo!"
"Enough!" Hibari suddenly exclaimed as he took his tonfas. "I'll shut you both up!" He growled as he slowly advanced towards the two. Both Tsuna and Lambo paled as they tried to run for their lives, only to have Hibari bite them to death twice as hard. Tsuna sighed. True he was bitten, but nothing can dampen his mood as he tried to remember what Adult Lambo had told him. He had a lover in the future – someone who'd stay by his side no matter what.
"Kyo…Kyo…Kyoko-chan…" He grinned as he laid on the ground with an unconscious Lambo by his side. Nothing - Nothing can dampen his mood.
…
Hibari walked towards the school building feeling satisfied. He didn't know why but meeting with the herbivore did wonders to his mood. The prefect grinned to himself as he casually made his way towards the reception room.
"Ah Kyo-san…welcome back."
…

After getting their treat, Reborn caught sight of an empty seat a group had just vacated. He then urged Gokudera and the others to seat down and finish their treat. The bomber as usual had put up a fight and attempted to look for Tsuna but the arcobaleno kept him at bay and sent Ipin to look for the brunette instead. After all, having the bomber cause a ruckus and shout 'Judaime' all over the place wasn't exactly ideal.
"Ne 'Dera what does yours taste like?" Yamamoto cooed as he pointed towards Gokudera's ice cream.
"Its tastes normal…nothing special…" The man rolled his eyes as he proceeded to lick his treat. The swordsman blushed as he watched his friend gradually lap the cold substance with his tongue.
"Ne, let me taste!" He cooed.
"Are you nuts…you have your own!" The bomber retorted as greedily faced to his side. The swordsman pouted. "Come on, just a lick! I'll let you taste mine if you do…"
"No!"
"Its chocolate fudge."
"No!"
"Come on 'Dera just one little lick!"
"I said no!" The bomber growled as the older teen continued to pester him relentlessly. Reborn watched in amusement.
"Please 'Dera?" Yamamoto pleaded, giving Gokudera the best puppy dog face he could muster. The Italian growled irritably.
"FINE! Just a lick!" He seethed as he passed his treat towards the taller teen. Yamamoto grinned sheepishly as he accepted the offer. He grinned. "Sugoooiii…it tastes great! This is the first time I've tasted this flavor."
"Idiot!" Gokudera growled as he grabbed the cone back. Yamamoto smirked before pushing his own treat towards the teen's face.
"Taste."
"Why should—" The bomber began only to be cut short by Yamamoto's stupid grin. He sighed before taking the sorbet and finally giving it a tentative lick. "I-It's not bad…I guess…" He mumbled. "Mine's still better though." He added as an afterthought when Rebron suddenly chuckled. Both teens turned to look at him, curiously.
"Something wrong?" Yamamoto queried.
"Nothing…I was just thinking that…" Reborn began, a sadistic grin forming in his face. "That the two of you have become real CLOSE…I mean sharing an ice cream is somewhat akin to an indirect kiss is it not?" He stated, blatantly. Yamamoto laughed out loud.
"Really? I never heard of that." He grinned "Did you hear that Goku—" He queried as he turned to glance at his friend, who literally froze from shock, his ice cream falling down the ground with an audible flop.
Reborn snickered.
