Hibari found himself walking through the winding narrow streets of Namimori. As he continuously checked the address Dino had written in his address book; thinking back he vaguely remembered Dino looking for a lawyer in Japan years ago. He stopped in front of the correct door and stepped inside to be immediately greeted by the pretty secretary sitting at the desk in the middle of the room.

"I'm looking for a Mr. Suzuki,"

"Do you have an appointment?" She said typing on her keyboard.

"No,"

"Then I'm sorry, he is unavailable today. Would you like to make an appointment for next week?"

"No. I want to see him now. Tell him…." Hibari hesitated. He didn't want to risk whoever was watching Dino to find out he came here but he didn't want to draw unwanted attention through his usual methods… He decided to chance it. "Tell him Cavallone sent me."

The secretary paused before picking up the phone on her desk. There was a brief conversation before a door in the back opened and an older Japanese gentleman stepped out.

"Hello, my name is Suzuki. Please come into my office," He was tall and well dressed in the typical black suit uniform of the Japanese business man; although, there was something about him that reminded Hibari of a large bear.

Hibari walked past the secretary and into Mr. Suzuki's large office. He sat down in one of the two plush chairs facing the desk.

"So…. You must be Mr. Kyouya Hibari?" He said sitting down at his desk and facing him. Hibari only nodded in response. "I'll have to see some form of identification." Hibari reached into his jacket. His fingers moved past the hidden pocket concealing his tonfa and retrieved his passport and handed it across the desk to Mr. Suzuki, who studied it intently. He retrieved a black light pen from his desk drawer to check for authenticity.

"Mr. Cavallone insisted I verify identification through some security questions… You can never be too careful." Hibari raised an eyebrow at him as Mr. Suzuki brought out a sealed envelope and opened it. He read over it briefly. A light blush spread across his cheeks and he glanced up and quickly back down at the paper. He cleared his throat uncomfortably.

"Um… There are ten questions you must answer… and… um…" He cleared his throat again. "The first question is: what is your favorite weapon?"

Hibari eyed him warily he did not like the lawyer's reaction to the list. "tonfas"

"Where do you keep them on your person?"

Hibari didn't answer but opened his jacket and showed him the hidden pockets where he kept them. He couldn't help but smirk slightly at the look of alarm on the man's face. Hibari sat back these questions weren't as bad as he had initially thought.

Mr. Suzuki cleared his throat. "What was your first love?"

Hibari narrowed his eyes. "Pass."

Mr. Suzuki nodded making a tick mark on the page. "Who took your virginity?"

Hibari stared blankly at him fighting against the heat rising in his face. He always thought of Dino as his first; having never counted what Mukuro had done to him as anything close to sexual, and he had never told anyone about it especially Dino. In any case he was not about to discuss such a personal matter with the likes of the lawyer in front of him. "Tch. Next question."

Mr. Suzuki made another tick mark. "Which sexual position is your favorite?"

A flash of a memory of Dino forcing him onto his stomach and cuffing him to the bed raced across his mind. Hibari grimaced. "This is ridiculous." He stood up.

Mr. Suzuki made a note. "Mr. Hibari, if you wish to continue this …"

"Just give me the papers so I can go." Hibari said menacingly. "Or I'll bite you to death."

Mr. Suzuki nodded. "It looks like you have answered all the questions correctly…. Mr. Cavallone made a note saying that you would refuse to answer any more questions after the fourth and would summarily threaten my person."

Hibari blinked. "…. "

"Please sit down. I have the paperwork ready. All you have to do is sign and you will be the trustee overseeing the funds that Mr. Cavallone has set up for his children as well as their guardian in the event of his death and the death of Mr. Romario…This will essentially make you his heir until his children come of age."

Squalo sat next to Xanxus at one of the round tables scattered around the banquet room. He looked over at his date and watched him smell the bouquet of his wine and swirl it in the glass before taking a long drink. The expression on his face looked almost like… contentment.

"You look happy…. Why do you look happy? You hate these things…." Squalo leaned forward examining his face.

Xanxus glared at hm. "Get out of my face trash."

Squalo leaned back. "…."

Xanxus almost smirked. "I've as good as won. I heard the brat's cum slut saying they hadn't found the assassin that killed their leak."

Squalo frowned. "So? It's not like Dino's not going to do anything about it."

Xanxus sipped his wine. "He doesn't know."

"They didn't tell him? Why?"

Xanxus shrugged.

Squalo cursed fluently under his breath.

Xanxus swirled his wine thoughtfully. "Your ass is going to be sore for months when I'm done with you."

Hibari sat by himself in his living room. He had made himself a cup of tea and was staring thoughtfully into the dregs at the bottom of the cup. He was now the Cavallone heir… It felt impossible. He swirled his cup watching the remnants of the leaves dance. As much as he didn't want to admit it, he was in turmoil. So much had happened in a very short period of time. Had everything that had happened in Italy been a farce? He hated himself for the feelings of hope returning. He forcibly pushed them back trying to stamp them out. There was no way he would ever be able to be with Dino again. Cavallone was expecting to die soon, so he decided to thwart whoever it was he thought was going to kill him by making Hibari his heir. He was using him; there was no affection in this….. But… He tried to ignore that traitorous thought and refilled his cup. He took out his phone to check the time and remembered he had forgotten to check the message Kusakabe had left him during his flight. He flipped open his phone and dialed into his voice mail.

"Hello, Kyouya? This is Tetsuya… I'm at Cavallone's party…" Kusakabe's voice was hushed over the phone and noises from the party could be heard in the background, it sounded like someone may have been giving a speech. "I was wondering where you are…" There was the crack of a single gun shot and sounds of screaming and panic erupted. "Dino! Oh my god!" A second shot. "Romario! NO!" Kusakabe must have dropped the phone at this point, because Hibari heard it hit the floor and the sounds of people running and screaming, before finally there was a crunch and the line went dead.

Hibari sat there, frozen. He had the message repeat. He wasn't sure how many times he listened to it.

Dino was…... dead.

Hibari couldn't believe that….. He felt like his body was numb. He had no idea what to do now. He looked down at his phone. He had his little carnivores to take care of now… He couldn't imagine the pain Carlotta and the others must be going through right now. He had to get back to Italy.
