There it is once again.

Kyoya's oppressing aura.

The whole mansion was turned inside out. No sofa was left uninspected. No cupboard was spared from steel blue eyes. He'll have those wooden floor boards turned over if need be. Tsunayoshi has been missing the whole day.

The.

Whole.

Day.

Kyoya slammed one of his tonfas on a sturdy wall.

Goodbye sturdy wall. Hello renovation team. We need a new wall.

"Kyoya-sama!"

The sharp turn of Kyoya's head had the servants watching bite their nails in worry if their little master had a whiplash.

Thwack.

"Where were you Tsunayoshi?" He tried to be angry. He really tried, he even hit Tsunayoshi (lightly—in Hibari standards) but the dark aura he emanated is slowly subsiding,(replaced by a warm and happy one… Secretly…)

(Who are we kidding?)

Pudgy hands reached out to one glaring Hibari Kyoya…

He tippy-toed…

And patted his head.

What.

"When Kyoya-sama pats my head, I feel really warm and fuzzy… And I'm really happy" Tsunayoshi offered Kyoya the biggest smile he could muster at the moment, despite the difficulties of tippy-toe-ing.

Kyoya was about to pat Tsunayoshi when the younger boy made a sharp shrill cry that sounded like 'hiiieeeeeeee'. Tsuna started rummaging in the pouch of his lion onesie that one of the maids made him.

He found what he was looking for and made a Link-like pose—holding the item up in the air with a big smile on his face.

The item found its way on Kyoya's palms.

Kyoya stared.

Tsuna explained.

"It's a gift I got from Uncle…" Tsuna's eyebrows are knitted once again. Kyoya knew not to interfere.

"Uncle…Ka,"

Everyone leaned in to hear Tsuna.

"Kawa…"

And while they're at it, they were thinking how cute Tsuna's knitted-eyebrow expression was.

"Kawahi…"

Someone take pictures!

"Kawahira!"

And before they knew it, the little bundle of sunshine flashed his one million watt toothy smile.

Everyone in the 5-kilometer radius felt an overwhelming feeling of warmth and happiness, even though they did not see the smile.

And they all lived happily ever after.

Not… Yet.


Alaude sighed for the nth time. By the look in his son's eyes, it had to be something about Tsuna.

"Father,"

"Hm?"

"I want Tsunayoshi to go to school with me,"

An elegant eyebrow was raised.

"Tsunayoshi needs education, father… And I don't want him going around the neighborhood alone. The herbivores can't keep an eye on him. He needs to be somewhere safe while I am at school, disciplining herbivores that pretend to be carnivores,"

The last bit had Kyoya tighten his grip on his tonfa, bloodlust in his eyes.

Alaude nodded in agreement, ignoring that last bit.

"He does. However, it is already a few months late to enroll him to any school in Namimori,"

The look in Kyoya's eyes would have made a normal man faint in fear.

"I have my ways,"

And the door was slammed shut.

Alaude found himself sighing once again.

He patted the sleeping brown fluff on his lap. It really does calm his nerves. No wonder his son won't stop petting.

"It seems you've wormed your way in our hearts now. My son has been worried for your welfare. He has always been cold to others,"

Actually, we have always been cold with others, to the point of coming off as callous.

Sigh. He didn't want to be reminded of their inability in the socializing area.

"Alaude-sama?"

Despite the sleepiness fogging his eyes, the concern is clear. The restless wagging of his tail pronounce the agitation in him. Alaude tried his best to smile. To erase the frown and the knitted eyebrows.

He was rewarded with the widest smile Tsuna could muster and a tight hug.

Tsuna learned that it's better to jump on Alaude-sama than Kyoya-sama.

Because Alaude-sama hugs him back.


A/N: I should probably call this chapter the 'knitted brow chapter'. How many times have I mentioned that phrase? Gah.

Sorry guys, no Byakuran yet. Probably next chapter.

So ummm Tsuna is going to school and Kawahira is mentioned. I have no idea how this will turn out. Orz

Haha. Everyone is as OOC as always.

I tried to write them in character but noooooo.

A lot of people asked what Tsuna is. Tsuna is just Tsuna… With animal ears and tail. That's it.

Review please.
