Me: Geezus. I've been gone for such a long time that I have almost forgotten about what I have written for this fanfiction. I just missed writing this. Urgh, plus SCHOOL IS FUCKING HARD. OMG. JUNIOR YEAR IS THE WORST. I'M STRESSING SO MUCH BECAUSE OF JUNIOR YEAR.
Gokudera: You'll probably fail.
Me: I BET YOU I WILL...faggot.
Gokudera: People who use such vulgar words are definitely bound to fail. Stupid bitch.
Me: HYPOCRITE.

Chapter Three
Chinese people were irrational, Hibari thought to himself. The prefect could never figure out how Chinese people's mind operated ever since he was young. He leaned back in his ebony rolling chair and watched the white-hair boy. Yue fiddled with his fingers awkwardly and tapped the bottom of his foot on the ground repeatedly. The boy was extremely fidgety. How irritating. Hibari's eye had twitched. "Stop moving. Now," the prefect demanded, folding his arms across his chest.
Yue's movement abruptly came to a halt and a bead of sweat ran down the side of his temple. "S-Sorry Hibari-san...Pleasedon'tkillme!"
"Xin Yue. Shut up." He was such an obnoxious little boy. Always prancing around the school acting so happy and begging random students for food, He used his likable personality to manipulate them into doing his will. By no means was he innocent. Yue was a demon. Yet he acted fearful, squeamish, and weirdly girly around him. Hibari eyed the boy in front of him and furrowed his dark brows together. Why the hell was that little shit sweating so much? The Reception room was cold as the Antarctic.
Hibari moved.
Yue jumped.
The prefect secretly mused over how Yue cracked under pressure too easily for such a manipulative person.
"Errm...Hibari-san, did I do something again? I haven't even violated dress code today."
"You ran into the baseball field completely naked and asked to see the most attractive male so you could take nude pictures of him."
"THAT IS A LIE. Uhh..Hibari-san, I mean..." He coughed stiffly and cleared his throat. "That is definitely a lie."
Hibari pointed to a stack of papers. "The entire baseball team filed a report against you."
"FOR WHAT?"
" According to these files, they also reported you have been taking multiple pictures of the team and yelling for them to take off their clothes. You will be punished for indecent exposure, disrupting practice, and stalking. "
"But Hibari-san, they do need to take off their clothes," Yue tried reasoning, flailing his arms. Of course like his school tests, he failed at that.
"Homosexuality is forbidden in this school."
Yue stood up abruptly. He began the speech he had rehearsed many times before at home in case he let it slip that he was attracted to men, "I'M NOT GAY! I just...I JUST KNOW WHICH GUY LOOKS HOT! And uhh...uhh...AND I LIKE HOT GUYS! BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN I'M GAY!" If the prefect was not amused, he did a god job of showing it because his face was completely void of any emotion. In the end, Yue just sighed and sat back down with a slouch. "Okay okay, maybe I'm a little bisexual."
Hibari snorted.
White eyebrows twitched; Yue swore that if he was in his girl form right now, it probably wouldn't be such a problem to ogle the baseball team. Life was so unfair.
The door slid open, Kusakabe walking into the room with another large stack of papers in his hand. "Hibari-san, the teachers have come to make a complaint about a group of delinquent talking back to them during class." He paused. "Oh. Hello there Xin-san, got in trouble again I see."
"You know it~," Yue hummed, flashing a peace sign at the vice-president of the Disciplinary committee. Ah, how lovely it was to see Hibari's discontent expression whenever his committee and him interacted. It was such a good thing that the committee liked his idiotic personality. Otherwise, he was pretty sure he would have a harder time at school since he tends to disobey almost every rule written in the handbook. Like the dress codes. Why did they even have to wear school uniform to begin with? So what if he looked cool in it and girls liked the way it outlined his figure? If Yue wanted to show up to Namimori-chu in his birthday suit, he should be allowed to. "So how are you, Tetsu-chan?"
A strangled noise left Hibari's throat at the mention of his henchman's nickname.
Kusakabe set the stack of papers down on Hibari's desk, before responding casually, "I could have better days. More importantly, what did you do this time?"
"Uhh...I was harassing the baseball team."
"Again?" Hibari resisted rolling his eyes at Kusakabe's question.
Clearly, this was not the first time the idiotic foreigner had done this.
Yue nodded, laughing tediously. "Pretty much."
"Good luck," the vice-president commented. He exited the room.
There was an awkward silence between Hibari and Yue. Finally the white-haired boy coughed, "Are you going to bite me to death again?"
"Not this time."
Yue became slack-jawed. "What?"
"Biting you to death has clearly become futile for a brainless piece of trash like you." Hibari continued signing away at the paperwork on his desk, not once looking up for the conversation. He threw away the papers he deemed idiotic into the trashcan. Pausing, he glanced up for a few seconds and stated, "I have decided to suspend you from school instead."
The Chinese boy jumped off the couch, shocked. "WHAT?"
"I do not repeat myself."
"I CAN'T BE SUSPENDED. YOU CAN'T SUSPEND ME FOR BEING fabulous."
"Keep your voice down. Or do you wish to be thrown out the window?" Hibari doesn't really ask questions to be honest. It was more like a threat that he was happily willing to carry out.
"But...but..." He sighed, frustrated with the prefect. "Fine. How long?"
"One week."
"That's too long! I can't be away from the baseball team for that amount of time! The club needs me! We haven't even gotten to the swimming club yet!"
Hibari's gaze remained on Yue, boring into her sternly and suspiciously. His grey-blue eyes narrowed into slits. "What club?"
"Uhh..." Yue gulped. "It's uhh...a photography club!"
"Do not lie to me."
Yue really should have known better than to lie to him. He's been in so much trouble that the prefect could figure out whenever he was lying just from the first syllable being mumbled. It was always worth a shot though—even if it was the one-hundred and sixth-fourth shot. "Fine. It's a yaoi fanclub. I'm the president."
How that managed to happen, it was a wonder. Although at that very moment, Hibari had wanted to smash Yue's head against the wall (maybe even a toilet). It suddenly clicked. Now he had figured out why there seemed to be many girls around the school campus, carrying professional cameras in their school bags. The girls had been hiding in the corners of the school or bushes in a creepy like manner too. The prefect leaned back in his comfortably rolling chair. "This club has never been approved by the principal."
Yue felt uneasy in the presence of the prefect currently. If it was even possible, the atmosphere in the room had become even chillier. Goosebumps broke out on his skin, and his body began trembling. "I'm sorry?" he said hesitantly, wondering if he was going to get pummeled to the ground. Hibari's face was still blank, which Yue was grateful for. Whenever Hibari looked pissed, it scared the shit out of him. "You're not going to kill me, are you?"
"The club better be disbanded by the end of the day." Hibari threw another large amount of paper in the trashcan before moving on. "That will also be another week of suspension."
Yue gaped. "BUT I'LL MISS THE EXAM WEEK!"
"It is your fault for disobeying the rules, not mines," Hibari replied idly.
"Come on Hibari-san! I beg of you to just suspend me for just one week! I can't afford to fail this year!"
"No."
"Please!"
"Do not make me repeat myself."
Yue bit the bottom of his lip, trying not to yell at the prefect. If he continued with his obnoxious plead, he was going to end up in the hospital like the last time he managed to set Hibari off. Yue still hated the fact that the Japanese boy could intimidate him with just simple threats. It frightened him though. Literally. He could feel his body turn cold and quiver because Hibari's threats were never empty—it was always carried out with no remorse. It was silly to fear the prefect, but Yue didn't know how to act around him. Sure, the Chinese boy could be playful around him a bit, but there were certain boundaries he tried not to cross. With a bitter tone, he tersely replied, "Yes Hibari-san."
Hibari nodded in satisfaction. "Now get out."
Glaring at the prefect, Yue picked up his school bag and exited the room quietly. The prefect was surprised he didn't cause a bigger commotion.
He snorted, "Good riddance."
"Fuck. Fuck. Fuck me. Exams are in two weeks and I won't be able to take it because that stupid faggotron suspended me!" Yue felt his heart drop and he fell in his bed, curling into a balled up position and hugging his knees close to his chest. "I told my parents I would at least pass school." Okay, so he didn't particularly do well in the Japanese school, but he definitely wasn't the worst student. Despite having no brains, he never placed last in the ranking or failed any of the tests. He barely passed each test with a D though. Yue heaved a loud depressed sigh.
"Ciaossu~."
Yue groaned deeply and pulled the covers over his face. "Go away Reborn." The covers were immediately tugged off of his body, and warm water was thrown on him. She didn't flinch as the hot water soaked into her body. She only curled up into a ball even more so. "What do you need this time?"
"I need you to go back to school to watch over Dame-Tsuna and his famiglia."
"I can't."
"Yes you can."
She whipped her head towards the baby, snapping irately, "No, I really can't! I got suspended by Hibari-san for being the president of the yaoi club."
"That's your pathetic excuse?" Reborn had tsk-ed and hopped up to her bed. Yue looked like she had been put through hell. Her face was scrunched up, golden eyes were bloodshot brimmed with tears, and snot was dripping out her nose. There was dried up cookie crumbs on her cheeks. She looked terrible. He sniffed. She smelled terrible too. "Get up and stop being useless."
"YOU STOP BEING USELESS."
Reborn narrowed his eyes. "Is that supposed to be a challenge?"
Yue gulped, feeling the tension rise. She knew if she didn't apologize or say something stupid, Reborn was going to beat the living hell out of her. Or worse, not feed her anymore. That would have been dreadful. Tsuna's mother was a wonderful cook. Slowly, she dawdled out, "Err...no sir. I was just…umm…yeah. Ignore me. I'm stupid." He nodded in approvement. Sitting up, Yue looked around her room and sighed. It was a mess, no surprise there, but the messes were mainly composed of books and old test for her to study for the upcoming exams. A part of her was screaming, "MAN, FUCK THE PYTHAGOREAM THEOREM AND TRIGNOMOTRY. LET'S BECOME CHICKEN STRIPPERS." The other was saying, "If you do well on the exams, you're one step closer to being an electrical engineer." They both made such valid arguments.
"Go apologize to Hibari."
She snapped out of her daydream. "What?"
"Apologize to Hibari so you can go back to school," Reborn repeated, emphasizing on the first word. She was such a twat.
"Reborn-san, even if I do apologize to him, he would never forgive me. In fact, he would deem me even more useless and pathetic and try to kill me! OR INCREASE MY SUSPENSION TO THREE WEEKS." Yue grimaced, jumping out of bed and walking back and forth furiously. "Can't I find another way to watch over them without being so close and personal? Like bird watching! I can watch them from afar and protect them!"
Leon shape-shifted into a hammer, and the object had come crashing down upon Yue's head. Yue shrieked. "Our deal was that you stayed close the famiglia and watched," Reborn reasoned, clicking his tongue. "Why are you so prideful to apologize to the prefect?"
"It's not out of pride! It's out of fear!" Yue rubbed her head and glared at the tiny baby. She jumped back on her bed and laid her bruised head on her pillow. "You don't understand Reborn. Hibari-san's scary. Whenever he gets mad or irritated at me, he hits me really hard and it hurts. I came home with a dislocated shoulder quite a few times. It doesn't help that I go to school as a boy."
It wasn't a surprise that Yue and Hibari didn't have a good relationship since the former was a well-established troublemaker at school. The clocks in the arcobaleno's head kept ticking before it stopped. He had the perfect plan to unite the two, to make them stop hating each other and be able to cooperate. What good would a famiglia be if there was always inner turmoil going on between the members?
"Umm…Reborn. I have a question. Where did you get a container of gasoline, and why are you dousing it all over my room?"
"Simple. I am going to burn your house."
She blinked, wondering if she heard him correctly. "You're going to what?"
"I am going to burn your house down."
"But…why?"
"You'll find out soon."
Yue seemed a bit hesitant before agreeing with him, "Okay. Can I at least help you?"
"Fine. Don't get too messy. It has to look like an accident."
"Huzzah!"
Thus Yue assisted Reborn in burning down her house.
"Sir, I don't know what happened!" Yue exclaimed. Tears were running down her face as the small house slowly crumbled to the ground. The fire fighters were extinguishing it with water, steam being released up into the dry air. She was rocking Reborn, who was wearing childish clothes, back and forth while pretending to cry. "I was playing with my…err…" Reborn discreetly pinched her, and she yelped, "CHILD. I was playing with my child, and all of a sudden I smelled smoke!"
The officer nodded, taking down notes. "You look quite young for a mother. Do you think you have any relatives to live with until we can get this problem settled?"
"Umm…I don't know," Reborn tugged her hair and she screeched, "YES! YES, I DO! I HAVE SOMEONE TO STAY WITH!" One day, Yue was going to break down and punch him. Deep down inside, she knew that she would most likely be the one to get hurt in the end.
"Alright ma'am. Can I get your name and phone number?"
"Xin Yue, 696-969-6969."
He wrote down some more notes and closed his clipboard. "I will call you when we settle some issues. Until now, try to find a place to stay at. And ma'am, please be safe next time. Use a condom because that is one ugly baby you have."
Reborn shot the officer between the face with a fake bullet.
"Okay…" At a snail's pace, she began walking away from the burnt house. She got to the shopping district before tossing Reborn out of her hand. His baby clothes seemed to morph back into a tuxedo while being thrown and he landed on the ground perfectly. She cursed herself for not hurling him at the wall. She might have been able to watch his brains splatter across the perfectly white barrier. "So where are we going again?"
"Hibari Kyoya's place."
Her face turned deathly pale. "IS THAT WHY YOU WANTED TO BURN MY HOUSE?" People were stopping, giving her strange looks. She paid no attention to them.
"Obviously. I need Hibari to take you in so he'll be forced to let you come back to school. The only way he will do that is if you have no place to live." Before she could retort, Reborn cut her off, "He owes me a favor so he will not refuse my request. Furthermore, he doesn't trust you well enough to leave you at his house alone for two entire weeks. Therefore, you'll be able to go to school and watch over the famiglia." He was such a genius.
"W-What about Tsuna's place?"
"It's too crowded."
Yue dropped to her knees, and cried out. "REBORN, HAVE SOME MERCY ON ME. I'M NOT READY TO BE THROWN INTO THE REAL WORLD." Reborn rolled his eyes and simply pulled out a bucket of cold water and splashed it on Yue. Instead of a girl crying on the streets, it was a boy who had a weepy voice howling. The situation itself made pedestrians feel uncomfortable.
"Let's go."
"I don't wanna," he sniffled, the whites of his eyes turning red because of the tears he was producing. If only Reborn understood that Hibari scared him so badly that he almost crapped his pants. Multiple times. Yue sighed and begrudgingly got up and followed the baby around, dragging his feet against the concrete. "I wish I went to school as a girl."
Reborn made a contemplative sound before smirking. "You can always fight back against Hibari."
"I can't. I'm not at school to cause a commotion. I have to try to blend in with the students and make myself appear normal," he muttered. Reborn sent a look of ridicule his way. Yue puffed up his cheeks in embarrassment and corrected himself, "SOMEWHAT NORMAL."
"President of the yaoi club who has white hair and constantly stalks the baseball club is not considered normal."
"Your mom isn't normal."
"Don't insult my mother again or I'll rip you to pieces," Reborn said nonchalantly. Yue gulped and nodded, making a face. Finally the both stopped walking and stood in front of a traditional Japanese mansion. "This is house. You'll be living here from now on."
Yue's jaw dropped, shocked. "NO WAY. NO ONE TOLD ME HE WAS RICH. Wow, I should try to get in his pants now so he can shower me in money."
"I highly doubt you'll ever be able to seduce him."
"I don't have to seduce him then. I'll seduce his credit cards," Yue stated, chuckling evilly. He began formulating a plan in his head, grinning like a Cheshire cat. Reborn slapped him. "RIGHT. Right! I have to focus on more important stuff…But his credit card is pretty important too."
"Shut up and don't talk," Reborn demanded. "I'll be back in a couple of minutes. You need to stay here. When I get back, you better not have moved."
"What if I need to pee?"
"Hold it." With a final tone, he left Yue in front of the mansion and disappeared for a long time. Yue grumbled curses in Chinese before sitting down, irritated. He knew he should have just joined the circus under the nickname "Supah Hot Fiyah". A yellow bird flew itself around Yue. He gasped in delight, hands slapping against his cheeks as he cooed over it. "OH EM GEE! You're the cutest thing I've seen in my life! Haha, I'm going to eat you."
"Hibari! Hibari!" It chirped.
"Noo! My name isn't that stupid prefect's name! I'm Yue! Say it, Yue! Yue!"
"Hibari!"
"Yue!"
The little bird was adamant. "Hibari!"
"IT'S YUE YOU PIECE OF SHIT!"
"You."
Yue blinked, hearing a deep male voice before cocking his head upwards. His heart immediately dropped when he saw Hibari, arms folded and glaring at him. "Errr…hey Hibari-san. Nice to umm…see you." Yue gawked when the little yellow bird flew over to Hibari and planted itself on his shoulders. "You traitor," he silently mouthed.
Hibari did not seem happy. "The feeling is not mutual. Now get off the floor." Yue obeyed automatically and jumped up, frightened by the dangerous look in his eyes. "Follow me. I will show you where your room is."
"Wait, does that mean Reborn told you what happened?"
"Obviously," Hibari remarked, frowning. "Reborn told me he had urgent business to take care of and couldn't see you off."
"Psh. He probably had to take a poop."
As they began walking towards the mansion inside of the mansion, Hibari commented with a jeer, "It's no surprise an idiot like you managed to burn down the house while cooking." Was that the white lie Reborn told the prefect? It was a terrible lie but more importantly, how come Hibari believed him? Did Hibari really consider the Chinese to be that idiotic? They stopped at a dark room. "You will sleep here."
"Umm...are you actually going to make me sleep in a basement?"
Hibari raised his eyebrows. "Do you have a problem with it?"
"No sir! Just don't hit me! " Yue squeaked, jumping away.
The prefect clicked his tongue before he started to break down the rules. "Breakfast is at six in the morning, and dinner will be at seven. Get a job to buy your own lunch because that is the only thing I will not provide. I'll give you a week to borrow my spare clothes. After that, you need to get your own or I'll bite you to death. I expect you to be in your room by eight thirty. Curfew is at nine. Any question?"
"Where's the restroom?"
"When you enter the house, go to the left hall on the second floor. The second room on the right side will be the restroom. Do not dirty it up."
Yue raised his hand.
"What, herbivore?"
He put his hand down. "Why is the house so big?"
"I have servants who live here and guests from prestigious family come to visit my parents when they're in town," he said blankly.
Yue raised his hand again.
"I do not have time for your ridiculous questions."
"Actually, I was going to tell you that when you were talking, I opened the door to the basement. A lot of spiders are crawling all over your floor right now. Can I sleep somewhere else?"
Hibari looked down. Indeed, there were heaps of arachnids scurrying across his clean floor. The prefect checked his time.
"I'll give you an hour to eradicate all of them and have this area spotless. And no, you will still sleep in the basement."
He gaped. "THAT'S JUST RUDE."
"One hour," Hibari emphasized with a smirk. He took his leave and left the Chinese boy on his own.
"HIBARI-SAN YOU DEMON!"
Me: WOW. One year of not updating this story! Haha. :D I don't expect people to review, but I truly apologize for being gone for so long. I will definitely try to finish this fanfiction along with Nothing Different. Thank you for those who are reading this and still stick by my side. I appreciate it.
Gokudera: This plot seems way too overused.

Gokudera: BITCH.
