Chapter 12
Since Dino's house was located inside Namimori Academy's ground, it was easy for Gokudera and Hibari to reach their school without being late. When Gokudera, Tsuna and Hibari still in middle school, Dino hadn't decided to split the class into the night class and day class, Dino was still in planning to do it, thus the vampires mingled with the humans in the school. One day, Gokudera woke up too early, let alone Dino who usually woke up first hadn't shown any sign in the house. He decided to go to school and do some cleaning in the class.
Gokudera reached his class, and as expected he was the first one there. He put the bag on his desk and went to the bathroom to take a rag mop. When he was in a way to the bathroom, he heard strange voice. It was likeā¦a moan? Gokudera face redden, but it seemed his curiosity was killing him. He walked towards the source of the sounds. It turned out that the voices came from below the stairs. He peeked from the side of the wall and saw a very shocking scene.
It was Tsuna and Kyoko, Tsuna's mouth was located on Kyoko's collarbone, and Gokudera didn't have to guess it, Tsuna was sucking Kyoko's blood. The moment he saw this scene, Gokudera suddenly forgot his own main objective. He began walking backwards, but sadly he stumbled his own foot. Awwwww! Dammit! Gokudera cried inwardly because of the pain, he forced himself to stood up and ran from there.
When the school had finished, Gokudera froze in his class while the other students had gone away from class. The memory about them still stuck in his brain. He shook his head a couple times before raised from his seat and he heading out from the class. Ooh,... great! Gokudera cursed himself, just when he didn't want to see him, Tsuna was waiting for him outside the class.
"Want to go together?"
"U-Uh, I-I... I think, I w-want to..."
"Gokudera-kun?"
"...eeh... I-I was..." Arrrgh! I hope I could-
"What are you afraid of? Because you saw me and Kyoko?"
That statement made his heart jumped out from his chest. He didn't dare to look into the eyes of the person in front of him, he hoped he would just disappear from there. Gokudera's brain tried to formed a proper sentence before running away from him, luckily, Hibari was passing through the school corridor.
"H-Hibari! I've been waiting for you, let's go!"
"What herbivore, I-" Gokudera ran to him and pushed Hibari's shoulder with both his hands. When Gokudera and Hibari had gone together, Tsuna sighed and leaning his body to the wall, jealousy and guilty jumbled in his emotions.

Tsuna had arrived in his mansion not long time ago, his servants had been waiting for him in front of the gate. They quickly helped him with his luggage and greeted him.
"Welcome back, Sawada-sama"
"Good to be back" He replied them, after that he walked inside the mansion straight to the backyard. The backyard was so luxuriant, a lot of trees and flowers were growing up on the soil. In the middle on the backyard there were three graves. Tsuna approached the graves and he kneeled in front of it. But something was off, one of the graves seemed a bit untidy.
"Did something happen when I was gone?"
"Sawada-sama, if it's about this grave, one of the maids know about it"
"Bring her to me"
Minutes later, the servant brought one maid with him, the maid looked really pale and she was shaking. Tsuna stood up from his position and walked toward her.
"What happened"
"I-I...I'm so sorry, Sawada-sama. F-five days ago, i-it was late n-night... I-I was w-walking around o-outside the mansion, u-until I caught someone was d-digging this grave"
"How many people dug this?"
"J-Just one, t-the person immediately closed t-the grave again,...but that p-person had taken t-the corpse that b-buried there"
"..."
"W-when I was peeking the person, I-I was caught and I-I'm really sorry... T-that person k-knocked me unconscious before I c-could call any help"
Tsuna didn't replied her, instead he turned his head to saw the untidy grave with the corner of his eye.
"He already make a move, doesn't he..." He mumbled to himself.

The academy seemed really quiet, moreover only a few students stay in the dorms. It was like a dead place. Meanwhile Hibari and Gokudera as usual were staying at Dino's house, but Dino was away, he said he wanted to took some fresh air for a moment. Gokudera was reading in his room, until his stomach began to grumbled. He went to the kitchen and thought what he should made for lunch. When he was cooking, Hibari seemed hungry too, he came to the kitchen with bored eyes.
"Where have you been?" Gokudera asked him, but he didn't bothered to moved his sight from the stove. His hair was tied onto ponytail in a messy way, since he afraid his hair would be on his way.
"Garden, I was sleepy"
"Sleepy head"
Hibari sat on the chair and rested his chin on the palm of his hand. He stared at Gokudera's back who was cooking and... exposing his neck. What hungry meant to Hibari was, he needed blood, he even didn't expect to met his prey in this kitchen. At first he wanted to took a supplement, he wished he could suppressed the need of Gokudera's blood a bit. Since the incident in Varia's party, he always had a hard time to talked or met with Gokudera, but he tried to hide it and acted strong. Too bad, Gokudera's neck was provoking his desire now. He raised up from his seat and walked toward Gokudera's back.
"Fuuh, I'm done, do y-"
Hibari hugged him from behind, he placed his lips on his prey's neck. Gokudera shocked and threw angry words to him, even he didn't realized his face became redden.
"What the hell, IDIOT! LET M-... Eh?"
Gokudera almost forgot that Hibari was a vampire, because Hibari seemed rarely drank blood. Gokudera used his hands to freed him from Hibari's hug, and turned around to him. He looked into his eyes after took a long breath.
"Herbivore..."
"..." Gokudera kept looking into his eyes, he didn't have to use any words, he already knew what Hibari wanted.
"You need it?" Gokudera asked him while taking a knife beside him beside the stove. A guilt face appeared after Gokudera said it, he didn't want to hurt his friend. His vampire instinct was overpowered him, nonetheless Hibari tried his best to suppressed it.
"I'm sorry..."
Gokudera nodded a little, but something unexpected happened. A warm was covering his body immediately when Hibari hugged him again. Because of the shock, he dropped the knife at looked at Hibari with his widened eyes. W-hat...?
"You see, I have already told you, it is thanks to you"
"?"
"You're too kind, do not make others take advantage of you"
"I..."
"I don't want it, if you hurt yourself it only make me more guilty"
Hibari retreated from him and turned around, even though he knew his body became weaker. He went to the kitchen drawer and planned to took some supplements from it. He was about to leave the kitchen when Gokudera's voice stopped him.
"Then, how about bite me?"
Hibari turned his faced, he thought he would see Gokudera trembling after saying those words. But he was wrong, Gokudera didn't show any fear, in fact it seemed his eyes showed a strong resolution. Hibari of course, he wanted to bite human at least once, he wanted to drank as many as he could. Yet if that human was Gokudera Hayato, he would never ever bite him.
"Forget it"
"Wha-"
"What do you want. To become a vampire? Even if you turned into a vampire it won't change your personality"
"... I don't mind..."
"Listen, to me. I have said I will never let you to turn into a vampire. I'll help you if you want to know about your past, but don't change into a vampire. Tell me if you need my help"
After said that, Hibari left the kitchen, leaving a confused Gokudera alone. Gokudera sighed and he squating while ruffling his hair.
"My past, huh?"
