A/N: In celebration of over 200 follows, here's a collection of scenes and drabbles that didn't make it into the earlier chapters. Hopefully the last one answers why Hibari was angry at Shamal in the last chapter. Hope you all enjoy!


Little Hellion

As a teen, Masahiro hated babysitting his little brother. He learned the hard way that letting Kyoya watch animal documentaries for hours on end was not a good idea. Now Kyoya was calling people herbivores and carnivores. He was also scaring off his classmates, biting them whenever they crowded. Not figuratively, literally. If the residents of Namimori weren't terrified of their parents they'd be buried in lawsuits.

"Kyoya! Get out of that tree!" Masahiro demands, Kyoya glared down at him and bared his teeth. "I'm not crowding with those herbivores." He says stubbornly. "At least stop biting people like a feral animal. You're going to give someone an infection at this rate." Kyoya stubbornly refused to move. Masahiro sighed. "If you stop fighting people, I'll teach you to fight."

He would, yet again, regret his actions when Kyoya attacked the member of a local yakuza gang. Masahiro had to tie Kyoya to a telephone pole as he single handedly took down half a dozen delinquents. After that incident Masahiro just sewed a tracking chip, similar to one used for pets, into Kyoya's arm band. And so the young Hibari was left to wander the streets of Namimori, Masahiro occasionally following to clean up his brother's mess.

A Bad Omen

Tsuna had heard of cups getting cracks in them as a bad omen, but he never heard of lizards losing their tails also being one. Now Leon was shifting through different forms, unable to stay in one shape. "Aw, poor little guy." Shizuka cooed, attempting to pet the lizard. Leon scurried back to Reborn and Shizuka pouted. She might have hated Reborn but she thought Leon was adorable. "What's wrong with Leon?" Tsuna asks. "He's been like this once before, when my former student was in a life-or-death situation."

"I think with the people we're going after that it definitely qualifies as a dangerous situation. But without control over his shapeshifting, won't it be impossible to shoot Tsuna with the deathperation bullets?" Shizuka asks, yelping when Reborn flared his Sun flames at her. "Although Leon is my constant companion, I own normal firearms. I am a professional." Reborn states. "A professional pain in the ass- Would you stop that?!" Shizuka hissed, backing up to the wall to avoid the Arcobalenco's flames.

Drifter

Shamal had been born into the mafia, raised by a mother that spoke of Skies with a wistful tone. It was like a fairytale, akin to falling in love with a prince or princess. It was something that all elements chased after, their own Sky that would give them a place to belong. Unfortunately most Skies were male and those that were female were married off for the sake of their families. Shamal had a hatred of men since his father had abandoned his family when he was young and he refused to be manipulated. For years he would wander, unattached to anyone.

After having his life threatened by Reborn he was forced to treat Tsunayoshi Sawada, the hitman's current student. When he entered Namimori he could feel not one, but two Skies in the area. He had been surprised when one of them also had a hint of Mist flames, warm and welcoming. Shamal shook himself out of his daze, he could investigate this later. Right now he needed to meet with Reborn.

Tsuna was covered in skulls, a textbook example of Skullitius. It was one of the side effects of being shot by Reborn's deathperation bullets constantly. The boy was a Sky but it wasn't the one that was drawing him in earlier. "Reborn, I don't treat males." Shamal says bluntly. "You're just going to let me die?!" Tsuna exclaimed, then one of his skulls spoke. "My sister would be a better boss than me and she's a ghost!" Tsuna blushed, covering his face.

Shamal examined the boy and his flames closely, they were similar to the flames he felt earlier. "You have a sister?" Shamal asks, wincing when Reborn's eyes glinted. The devil was going to exploit his curiosity, Shamal just knew it. "Why yes, a sister that would be furious if her precious twin brother was refused treatment by one of the best doctors in the mafia." It was a well known fact that when a Sky's loved one is threatened that their tempers could rival that of a Cloud. And Shamal did not want to be on the receiving end.

Training, it's not just for Tsuna

Ever since Reborn learned that Shizuka could make herself solid, he had her slowly increase the amount of time that she could stay in that state. It was a very tiring process and often lead to the girl dodging bullets and explosions. "Shouldn't you be training my brother?" She yelped, tripping over a rock and falling face first to the ground. Reborn held a green sniper rifle and smirked. "You won't be able to rely on your ghost tricks forever, especially if Tsuna's dying will mode causes you to turn solid every time." Please let the school day be over already! Shizuka inwardly cried.

Even Meifeng had taken it upon herself to train the girl, the only difference being that Shizuka actually liked this teacher and what was being taught. The woman used a concealed blade and was walking her through the basics of using a shinai. There was a straw dummy in the training room that Shizuka was using for practice. "Aim to disable first. Target the joints." Meifeng barked as Shizuka sweat dropped. The woman was blind, how would she know if she was doing this correctly?

Instinctive

It was a surprise to everyone that Shamal had decided to stay in Namimori, trying to track down an elusive Sky. Shizuka thought it was hilarious and would watch the man from a distance, flaring her flames and disappearing before the man could spot her. This arrangement was still holding after two weeks. It still baffled Reborn how a dying will spirit could attract potential guardians when they were dead. From what he'd observed, Tsuna's twin gained more flames with each guardian she obtained.

Shamal groaned in frustration. Of course the Sky would be playing hard to get. Reborn wasn't making it any easier by withholding information, only telling him the bare minimum. "She's a Sky and a Mist. What did you expect? You'll meet her when she gets tired of this game." The Arcobalenco says with a shrug.

Unfortunately for Shamal, he was a very suspicious looking person and there was a string of attacks in Namimori. Shamal was offering to walk one of the Namimori girls to school as protection, he was a gentleman after all, when a tonfa was slammed into his face. He instinctively let out one of his mosquitoes, carrying a disease that made the carrier unable to stand in the presence of sakura trees. It was one of his less lethal diseases and there was no way that violent boy would see any sakura trees during this time of year. Right?
