"No," Tsunayoshi gaped at Hibiki's bold proclamation with an incredulous expression.
"B-But Hibiki-kun, at least try! Onegaishimatsu!" She twitched as he pleaded, cutting him off by bowing in an exact ninety degree angle," My apologies Tsunayoshi-kumishou, I did not mean for you to go so low as for me to try to calm the child."
She walked over to the bawling Lambo and picked him up, hands in between his arms. Hibiki brought him up to her eye level, making him looked confusedly at the girl, tears slowing down. Lambo, being Lambo, suddenly screeched as the girl's eyes pierced into him and scared him to peeing his pants, struggling force her to drop him.
Lambo fell to the ground and cried even harder. A high-pitched voice shouted out," What do you think you all are doing!?"
The four musketeers looked over to see Haru looking at them apprehensive look. Tsuna jumped," H-Haru, what are you doing here!?"
Gokudera glared at her," Are you transferring?"
Haru 'hmph'ed, crossing her arms against her chest," Of course not! Haru came here for the inter-school gymnastics competition! I went around looking for Tsuna-san and when I finally do, I see him bullying poor Lambo-chan!" Her eyes glared at him accusingly, but all he could think of was how on Earth that clumsy girl was in the gymnastics club.
She walked over to Lambo," Lambo-chan, are you okay?" Haru picked up the cow onesie-wearing child and glared daggers at Tsuna ("HIEE!")," How dare you make such an innocent child cry."
Yamamoto, who was close to her, rose his hand up," Actually… it was me and Hibiki who made him cry."
The girl ignored him and blatantly accused once more," Haru won't forgive even you Tsuna-san for bullying Lambo-chan!" She cradled Lambo in her arms and turned, hitting what felt like a wall, making her fall backwards onto her ass. Haru looked up to see Hibiki looking down at her with a soul-shattering expression, making her scream in fear. The tall European only looked at her blankly.
"H-Hibiki! I-You're scaring her!" Hibiki looked up at Tsunayoshi before looking back at Haru for a moment, "Sorry."
She then walked over to stand next to Gokudera who blanched at what Reborn and Tsunayoshi had just agreed on," Then she's going to be Juudaime's right-hand man!?"
Hibiki and Yamamoto looked on, the latter with a carefree grin on his face while the former looked as if she was about to fall asleep.
Lambo then suddenly brought out his ten-year bazooka from his afro, shooting himself with it and scaring Haru out of her mind as the TYL Lambo appeared in her arms.
She quickly dropped him in shock, fear, surprise, and the sudden increase in weight," Hahi, who are you!?"
Lambo turned around to greet her, but was slapped as she saw his bare chest," Kyaa! Pervert! What are you doing! BUtton up your shirt or I'm going to call the police!"
She turned around covering her eyes as Lambo stood there in stupefaction, eyes wide, "This is a fashion trend."
Tsuna looked on at the scene in horror and disbelief, Gokudera appearing next to Haru and agreeing with her. The said boy started to bully and harass the poor boy as he walked off, wishing to get back to his time just about then. Yamamoto laughed on at the scene when he saw a horn on the floor, "Ah," He picked it up," You dropped your horn."
He glumly thanked him, "Please toss it over."
Yamamoto went into a stance and Hibiki felt her lip twitch upwards just slightly. He threw it towards Lambo's forehead, making him topple over and cry in a fetal position on the floor," To-Toler...ate."
Tsunayoshi blanched," This is what always happens. Poor Lambo."
Reborn looked over the scene," Well I guess Tsuna is the one most fit to babysit Lambo after all."
He looked over towards in with an accusing expression and yelled at him with a matching voice," You planned this in the first place didn't you!"
It wasn't a question, but a statement that made Reborn look at him with an 'innocent' expression," How could you accuse me of such a thing Dame-Tsuna."
Let's just say Tsunayoshi lost it.
...
Hibiki walked around in the Namimori Shopping District glancing at the windows of shops once in a while. She wore a white cotton long sleeved loose shirt with a thin black stripe on the top left shoulder going downwards to the hem in the front and a pair of jeans, hands in her pocket.
To her left Haru who had dressed up nicely, going into shops and coming out of them whilst unconsciously dragging Hibiki around once in a while when they saw something that caught their eye.
The duo had come out to buy a present for Reborn's birthday tomorrow and Tsunayoshi's the next day after, although it seemed the eccentric girl didn't know of Tsunayoshi's special day, only being informed of the hitman's. Hibiki didn't see the need to tell her. She would figure out on her own.
So far Haru had bought a white suit with red targets all over them and was just tagging along with Hibiki.
They went into a miscellaneous shop with all sorts of trinkets and jewelry, but nothing caught Hibiki's eye while Haru looked around excitedly. Then, something shined in the corner of her eye and walked over to see a thin leather bracelet in a small metal box that looked like it would fit Reborn's small wrist.
"Nice taste you have there sir," She looked up to see who was most likely the store owner, a middle aged female with a brown bob-cut and mischievous lighter honey eyes. She wore an eccentric orange t-shirt with a small dog and cat cartoon on it and black and white shorts with the left leg obviously manually cut shorter than the other.
Hibiki wasn't fazed and said nothing before looking down at the bracelet, "Can you engrave something inside the leather after I buy it?"
The woman blinked in surprise before grinning," Yeah, but it'll cost ya 2,000 yen extra."
Hibiki nodded and they went to the cash register," What did you want to engrave inside ikeman-kun*?"
Hibiki ignored her move and answered, "In unum protego quisnam est divum**."
The lady nodded and went into the back room and Hibiki looked around to see Haru still looking around and went into the statute section. Hibiki slowly walked around, looking closely at the statutes see a small figure in the back. She moved the statutes in front of it delicately out of the way and picked up the small thing to see have a glass chameleon that looked nearly the same as Leon and around the same size, though albeit larger than the actual lizard.
Hibiki walked over to the desk and placed the glass figure on the front desk and saw the woman come out just about then.
The strange woman rung up the price to show 12,000 yen on the cash register, a strange smile on her face directed at the teen in front of her. Hibiki ignored it and instead placed the exact amount and picked the two objects into three plastic bags (like a russian doll), calling for Haru before leaving.
They hung out with Haru trying to get her to talk more, eating cake (Hibiki drank a mocha latte instead) at a café before Hibiki walked Haru home and went home herself.
The next few days were calm, Hibiki walking to Tsunayoshi's house to pick him up with Yamamoto and Gokudera, the said European being dragged to the rooftop to eat with her underclassmen (AKA boss and co-hitmen), her going to Tsunayoshi's home in between the two days, and placing the two presents into boxes, one tied with an orange bow as the other one was tied with a black one. Hibiki also switched clubs from the basketball club to the soccer club.
It was October 13 and Hibiki didn't want to deal with Reborn that day, so she sent out Rune with the the present to the Sawada household. Hibiki was lying around when Rune came back with a note on his leg. She got up to open it, twitching when she read what was written on there, '0 points. You die.'
Reborn was a strange hitman.
...
Hibiki blinked as she saw Kyoko and Haru run in their underwear with flames… on their foreheads... in a matching yellow color, Tsuna and Reborn following after them into a cake shop Haru had dragged her into before, entirely missing her presence.
Although she did see the Reborn smirk at her. Hibiki shivered mentally. Never will she let Reborn shoot her with that chameleon shape-shifter.
...She swore the next day she saw an explosion that looked and smelled like I-Pin's Pinzu Time Bomb the next day... Nah, she's in China with 'master'. Ehehe... Hibiki slammed her face into the wall behind her as she got home, ignoring Rune's squawk of shock.

Forgetful Insanity: Yeah, that is definitely one of, if not, the best story of Haikyuu I've read so far. Have you read Magi? The manga was great although the fanfictions I've seen aren't really that up to par. I was wondering what exactly do you like about this fanfiction as for my question. And what parts would you like more of. Did you want to see more humor, angst (Spoiler: there will be), etc. Also, no problem. Well, about the volleyball ftw thing, I think maybe basketball would be a close second. Thank you for your endless support and I hope to read more of your opinions of this fanfiction soon along with the rest. ^^
