There would be a festival in Namimori. It's only one of those event that always attract many people to enjoy them self there. Some will come with friends, some others with their couple or the family. It would be full of fun there.

Tsuna decided to go there as well with two of his best friends. He invited Kyokyo and Ryohei to come together as well and they agreed.

"It's been a long time since my last festival. I'm glad I can go with you guys," he cheerfully say.

Yamamoto smile to him but he know his friends true feeling. I bet you would be happier if you can come together with Hibari, right Tsuna? But what come out from his mouth is, "Me too. We would enjoy this fully until we forget what tomorrow is, ahaha."

"Your comment is as stupid as ever."

"Oh, come on Gokudera. I know you happy about this too. We will be together all day long, isn't it great?" Yamamoto throw his arm on to Gokudera's shoulder. The contact get an instant reaction from the silver haired boy, which is pushing him away and step back as far away from him.

"Stop your stupid comment, you idiot! I'm only happy because Tsuna will go with me. It's not a big deal even if you don't come with us."

"Yamamoto, you really should stop teasing him." Tsuna stare at him a bit serious but Yamamoto shrugged it off. "Come on Gokudera-kun, we should head back to the class." Tsuna dragged his blushing friend with him.

"Aah, they leave me." Yamamoto was about to follow them but his phone ringing delay him. He took it out from his pocket and answer immediately. "What's wrong, Hibari?"

"Skip your next class and come to my office."

For Hibari to ask him to break a school rule is out of character, but there must be a reason to this. Like something really bad happened? "I'll be there in five minutes." Tsuna and Gokudera are no longer in sight, they must have reached the class. Yamamoto turned his direction and slowly walk toward the reception's room.

Just like he promised, he arrived in five minutes. Hibari sat on the couch and signal Yamamoto to sit on the other one across him. He look better than before but still miserable.

"Do you have any plan for this week?" The sudden question surprise Yamamoto.

"Actually, yes. You know about the festival in the city? Me, Tsuna and Gokudera will go there together with Sasagawa Kyoko also her brother. Do you need anything from me?"

"Ah, I see. If everything is going well I'll be there too." Yamamoto raise his eyebrow not believing the prefect's answer. But to think about it again Hibari must be mean he will be there to guard the place, not to enjoy the event. That's what he usually do every single year. "So I can trust you guys to protect Tsunayoshi then."

"Is something wrong?" It sounds serious and Yamamoto doesn't like how Hibari said it.

"No. At least I'll make sure nothing will going wrong. Just promise me you will stay by his side every second and you won't lose a sight of him until I tell you everything is clear."

"Of course, I will. Can you tell me what is really going on? I'll protect him anyway but it will be easier to know what do I have to be careful with."

Hibari pause for some second before he answer the question. "Dino is on the move." That makes Yamamoto turn even more serious. "They will execute the plan around this week. I'm not allowed to join but he will inform me every bit of the progress."

"Are you fine with that?" Knowing Hibari there is no doubt he wants to be there more than anyone and his next answer just proof the theory to be right.

"He said I'm not in my usual self so it's better to just sit back and wait. He said that like I'm a little boy who needed to be protected. He even asked his superior to sign a paper that said I should do what he said. I swear after all of this is done, I'll deal with him myself."

Hibari is pissed and his current condition just make his mood even worse. Yamamoto believe Dino did make the right call. Hibari can't even stand properly, more over be in an important mission as catching a criminal. And there is also a personal relations aspect as well.

"You better sleep, Hibari. You will feel better after some hours rest, trust me." He really is worry. Anyone who see Hibari like this would feel the same too, at least anyone who doesn't hate him.

"I don't want to sleep."

They stare at each other and there is something in Hibari's sharp grey eyes that tells Yamamoto something. "You still have those nightmares, don't you? That's why you couldn't sleep well."

Hibari sigh cause Yamamoto just hit the bull's eye. "Perhaps after all this is done it would gone. That's why I want to be there and make sure this is really over."

"Just do what Dino-san told you, Hibari. At least only this time. You couldn't even swing your tonfa properly. I know your will is strong but your body need to rest."

The prefect lean his head on the couch and close his eyes. "I wish I could. I don't even remember the last time I have a proper rest."

"Do you mind taking some pills? I save some of Tsuna's when he has a problem sleeping. It's from his therapist but I guess it would be okay if you take some."

What went to his mind is the word of Tsuna only. How he miss that person and how he miss the feeling of having him in his arm. Hibari open his eyes and stare on to the ceiling above him. He really need to sleep and perhaps after seeing that he is in a better condition Dino would let him join the mission.

"It's better than nothing."

Yamamoto nod at him and raise from his seat. "Well, I have it in my bag so I have to go back to the class." He head out but Hibari's calling stop him.

"Yamamoto Takeshi."

"Yes?"

"If the teacher try to stop you from coming back, just say it's my order."

Yamamoto smile at the remark. "I got it."

And Hibari was right. When Yamamoto reached the class, the teacher throw him some questions about his disappearance. He only laugh like he always do at first but it got him nowhere. At last, he use his final weapon and the respond is like what he expected. Not only from the teacher but from his classmates as well.

"It can't be help then. You may go."

After get his permission, Yamamoto look at Gokudera and nod at him before leaving the class for the second time. Knowing the look and understanding the message Gokudera nod back. It earned a curious look from Tsuna who sit beside him. He wants to ask but since it concern a certain carnivore, he keep his question to himself.

When Yamamoto back to the reception room with the pills, Hibari is still staring at the ceiling with a deep look on his face. He finally stop staring when he heard Yamamoto's voice.

"Here's your pills," he hand him the bottle and Hibari took it.

"Thanks." Hibari took three of them from the bottle and gulp it in a second. After drink some water he lay himself on the couch and try to sleep. "If I happen to fall asleep, you may go. Ask Tetsuya or anyone to guard the door before you do that."

"Got it."

And that time, Hibari finally get his proper sleep since who knows how long.

A day before the festival Yamamoto found himself sitting in Hibari's office for the second time this week. He was about to walk home with two of his best friends when Hibari called and ask for his presence. He asked Gokudera to take Tsuna home and wait for him there before he dashed toward the reception room.

"Dino just called and he said they already got them under the custody." When he said them meaning that person and the organization.

The news drew a smile on Yamamoto's face, a very big smile. "Really? This is great! I should tell Tsuna about this. Finally, you both can be free." Hibari didn't say anything but his relief face shows more than enough. "That mean we can enjoy tommorow's festival freely, right?"

"Sure, do that. I'll be there as well." Of course with the disciplinary committee to make sure no one's making a commotion in the event.

"I'm happy for you, Hibari. Finally you can be free from those nightmares."

"I hope so."

Let's see about that :D

I didn't mean anything bad. I promise their suffering will end soon, perhaps.
