Anyway, my next chapter might be a little late...Might be...depends if I can get a hold of a wifi connection. Shouldn't be hard, there's wifi every where nowadays. (Did I spell wifi right?) Oh well, review plz. :)

Hibird and Tsuna had caught up to Hibari, who was still only walking calmly. There was no reaction on his part to Hibird clutching the back of his sleeve and following closely. They traveled in silence.

Tsuna was looking at the back of Hibari's hair, watching the loose strands bounce and wiggle with every step. Knowing Hibari, Tsuna figured he had some questions about the situation, but he wasn't about to tell them. What was the point of asking when they couldn't communicate properly?

Hibari stopped and turned to Hibird and Tsuna. Maybe he doesn't want us following him? Tsuna was wrong, and caught off guard.

It surprised him when Hibari reached out to hold him in his palm, taking him from his entangled position in Hibirds' hair. Tsuna knew that Hibari had some very strong and dominating hands, but at his current size they looked down right earth shattering. Is this how Hibird sees his master? If so, then it was no wonder he felt the need to express his feelings. Looking up at Hibari, and being carried so carefully, this new perspective made him shutter in want and desire himself. Hibari seemed to be so much more…exhilarating(not quite the word I was looking for). All Tsuna knew at that moment, was he didn't want Hibari to let go, he wished to be embraced by this dangerous and dominant master. He felt sorry for the faithful Hibird, who was watching this familiar scene from his new angle as well, and it almost hurt that he couldn't actually touch him.

Feeling deprived of much need warmth, Tsuna began to feel dazed in desire. "Do you know where the infant might be?" This question snapped Tsuna back to what was in front of him; a very manly and intoxicating demon.

Hibari waited seriously for some kind of reaction, knowing full well that Tsuna couldn't talk back. He could however,, tell that Tsuna was thinking.

Tsuna continued to ponder. Normally, Reborn would randomly pop out of his own accord. There was no real way to find him that Tsuna could think of.

"Fly up and keep a birds' eye view."

Tsuna was reluctant to leave Hibari's hand. Though he was understanding of Hibirds' feelings, he still didn't want to leave them alone.

He leaned to the side to get a better view of Hibird, who had perked up and was listening intently. Tsuna did not want to take the chance.

However, he knew he had no choice. Hibari hadn't asked him to fly up, but told him to. If he hesitated to long Hibari would probably throw him. So Tsuna did as he was told, and reached a high place for a good view; felling the loss of Hibari's warm touch with every inch closer to the sky. It was no use. As long as neither he nor Hibird could explain anything, this could only get worse.

Down on the ground, Hibird had quickly taken advantage of the absents of the third-wheel. He clung to his masters' arm while simultaneously sticking a tongue out at the flying Tsuna above them. Hibird then proceeded to wink and bury his face into Hibari's jacket; with no response from the demon whatsoever. They continued to walk that way, while up above them fumed a little yellow bird.

Hibari watched Hibird from the corner of his eye. Believe it or not, he believed this behavior to be some sort of admiration as a master. The bird was loyal, and it didn't really bother him(poor Hibird). What did bother him was the lingering presence that had been following them since they left school grounds.

So far, whoever was there wasn't crowding them, so Hibari didn't act immediately; but he was very impatient, and whatever patients he had was quickly deteriorating.

From above, Tsuna had also noticed that someone was following from behind, slinking towards Hibari and Hibird. He couldn't quite tell who it was due to the stalkers' sneaky behavior.

Tsuna bowed one side of his wings to an angle, allowing his to glide on the wind and lower himself toward the potential threat, only to find it was someone he knew. Gokudera?

Hibari suddenly lost it and turned quickly, revealing his tonfa in a seconds' time. "Whoever is there will reveal themselves so I can bite you death."

Tsuna was in shock, knowing exactly what was about to happen.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH JUUDAIME? AND WHAT WAS WITH THAT CLINGY CRAP EARLIER?"

"You're one of those herbivores…you better know how to fix Sawada."

Tsuna paused, Oh no! He's gonna tell Gokudera!

Gokudera became explosive, not really knowing the situation. All he saw was the enemy, getting too close to his beloved boss. "THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH JUUDAIME! HE IS THE ULTIMATE BOSS!" He bowed towards his boss, holding both Hibird's hands in his. Tsuna could only watch in sarcastic embarrassment.

Hibird stared blankly at the puppy eyed Gokudera, who was starting to squeeze his hands a little tighter. Then with absolutely no regards for the others' feelings, Hibird slapped Gokudera's hands away in a swift and cold action.

Gokudera fell to the ground with tears pouring from his eyes; the puppy had been rejected. "Juudaime….whats' wrong…..? Have you chosen this bastard as you're new right hand man….?" Gokudera whimpered.

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO JUUDAIME! GET READY TO DIE!" Gokudera, rose fast and attempted to land a punch on the prefect.

With little effort, Hibari moved past Gokudera's attack and violently shoved his tonfa into the smoking bomber's stomach; a single strike to take him down.

Gokudera stumbled a bit before catching himself on his knees, tears streaming down his face.

"DON'T THINK YOU'VE BEATEN ME!"

Tsuna flew around Gokudera, worried about his condition. Hibari had done quite a bit of damage in that one shot.

Gokudera stayed still, and let Tsuna land on his shoulder and lightly peck at his ear. Gokudera was just to hurt to care.

Hibari saw Tsuna's attempt to console his herbivore friend, and concluded that he didn't know a thing about this incident. He didn't care enough aid in preserving the herbivore bomber's soul, or didn't care at all really, but would at least tell him what he knew.

"This is not Sawada."
