Chapter 11

Gokudera got a fever when he was in the first grade in middle school. The fever was not a big deal for him, but Dino made it like he was going to die or something. He even called Tsuna to come like this:
"TSUNA! HURRY UP! THIS IS EMERGENCY!"

15 minutes later Tsuna came to Dino's house while panting and sweating. He quickly went to Gokudera's room. After seeing Gokudera was resting on his bed, he sighed in relieved and approached him. He put his hand on Gokudera's forehead to check his temperature.

"I'm fine" Gokudera said while coughing.

"You're sick"
Hibari came to his room too, he brought a bowl of water and a towel with him. He tried to shooed Tsuna away by kicking his leg. A vein popped out on Tsuna's forehead.

"Give the bowl to me, I'll take care of him"

"Go away, herbivore"

Because of it, they began arguing in Gokudera's room. Gokudera's head felt more dizzy and it was so noisy. Damn you, DINO! It seemed the argue would last long, the dizziness made Gokudera snapped.
"GET THE HELL OUT FROM MY ROOM!"

In the end Hibari must sleep on the couch, and Dino was beaten up by Gokudera. On the other hand, Tsuna, he wanted to accompanied him. Gokudera who had lost all his strength, didn't have any power to forbid him, he let Tsuna did anything he wanted.

Now was a winter break for all of the students in Namimori. They got one week holiday. A lot of them decided to go back to their house to met their parents, including the night class' students. But not for Gokudera and Hibari, since they didn't have anywhere to go, they stayed in Namimori Academy. Tsuna needed to go back to his mansion to control its condition, while the others only go back to met their family.

"Jyuudaime, take care"
"Thank you, Gokudera-kun" Gokudera wanted to see Tsuna's departure so he escorted him until they reached the exit gate. After waving a goodbye to him, Gokudera decided to practice his archery skill so he went to the archery club. While Hibari, he spent his time on his bed.

Mukuro and Chrome reached their house after four hours drive. Their house was really big and there were a small fountain in the front of the house. Their mother was playing the water in the fountain, but when she saw Mukuro and Chrome, she approached them and hugged them.

"Long time no see, mother" Mukuro said politely and he hugged back his mother.

"I'm worried sick about you... Chrome, can you go inside, I want to talk with him"

Chrome nodded and she carried her luggage to the house. His mother was a really beautiful woman, but since he and his father went abroad, it seemed she became skinnier and her face became paler. Mukuro sat together with his mother on the side of the fountain.

"How did he die?"

"Kufufufu, I'm not sure if I must tell you how he died"

"Mukuro, Daemon Spade was your father, I'm his wife, I have the right to know"

"Then, don't be shock, mother"

Mukuro smiled and he caressed his mother cheek. He closed his eyes, but when he opened his eyes again, one of his eye that had previously shown number six in kanji, changed to a spade sign.

"I killed myself, my love"

"Shit" Gokudera cursing himself. He was in the place to practice archery. He was trying to hit the target, however he always missed it. It seemed because it had been a long time since his last practice and his mind filled with another thoughts. He lied his body to the wood floor because he really tired after practicing about two straight hours. Not long afterwards, Hibari came with a bottle of water in his hand. Gokudera raised up from his position to sitting position and turned to face him. Hibari threw the bottle onto Gokudera's hand.

"Thanks, I thought you were sleeping?"

Hibari said nothing and sat beside him, crossing his legs.. Hibari was not a talkative person, he spent most of the day with being quiet. However, he always listened to what Gokudera had to say.

"Ne, Hibari..."
"What"

"How do you feel to be a vampire?"

"Troublesome"

Gokudera sighed at Hibari's answer, such a straightforward person...

"Why did you ask?"

"I was wondering, how he's feeling too..."

"Tsk, I've told you, don't mention him in front of me"

Gokudera scratched his head and he sighed again but this time he buried his head to his knee.

"What's wrong with you" Hibari asked him.

"If I became a vampire, will I... will my heart become stronger too, Hibari?"

"..."
"I always see you guys are awesome, you even could live after your parents death. But me, I just lost my memories but it's already hard for me"

Hibari looked up to him, he moved closer and patted Gokudera's head.
"Do not think to change like me, or that herbivore"
"?"

"I can live because you're always by my side, Gokudera"

Hibari stopped patting his head and looked into his eyes for a while. He stood up and walked away from the practice room. But before he got outside, he said one more thing to Gokudera.
"If you decided to turn into vampire, I won't let it, even if I have to sacrifice myself"

He disappeared from the room, and Gokudera lowered his head. He never understand, how did those vampires think, nor Hibari or Tsuna, they both really complicated.
