Tsuna sat perfectly still, his face stuck in a shaky, uneasy smile. For some reason, he felt very cold, which was strange being as that the sun was very bright and shining warm and brilliantly down on the busy board walk. Men and women, all in light clothing with youthful faces, passed by with hesitant glances before hurrying on their way. Tsuna was sure he knew what it was they were evading so earnestly.
"I wan't to go home..."
"Enough of that. You're with me now, Tsunayoshi, you should be having the time of your sad little herbivore life."
And then there was the great mass of dark clouds coming from beside the young physician, all belonging to the stretched out frame of a black haired man with piercing steel blue eyes, his dark clothing scheme seeming out of place among the colorful beach-goers.
"Principal Hibari..." large amber eyes closed pathetically. " All you did was take me from one set of troublesome people to be around you..."
"And what exactly do you have against me, Sawada Tsunayoshi?"
A drop of strawberry cream fell onto Tsuna's leg, his face rather ghost-like as he let the whole cone fall onto the sand scattered cement. Hibari's (pet?) bird, the extremely fluffy, noisy thing, rumpled its feathers as if aggravated that such a treat had been wasted (his tiny dark eyes had been fixated on the ice cream since Hibari had forced it upon Tsuna).
"Nn-Nothing! I'm just... Why are you here?" the brunet inquired timidly, trying very hard not to act too flamboyantly so as to keep the conversation more private. Hibari glanced at the fallen ice cream, dragging his eyes back lazily.
"This is where you are."
It sounded too simple to pacify Tsuna.
"What is that supposed to mean?"
A young gaggle of high school girls giggled and blushed as they walked past, and it unnerved Tsuna the way Hibari barely acknowledged the girls (or anyone else passing by) existed on the same earth at all. The young male nurse couldn't be sure if it was the frightening intensity in the stare he was being crucified under that made him so uncomfortable, or if it was the fact that over the past 45 seconds, his boss was leaning closer to his face, to which he could only lean away. This left them in the very awkward position of Tsuna nearly snapping at his waist as he tried to get father away without actually moving from his seat, and Hibari hovering over him with his arms braced on either side of the bench.
"Ah... um... what are you doing, Hibari-san...?"
"Checking you for signs of infidelity."
"I-Infidelity?"
Somehow, Tsuna managed to escape from under his employer via his leg falling off of the bench and taking the rest of him with it. A few passer-bys stared for a moment and looked like they were going to laugh, but quickly scuttled away when fierce blue eyes gave a sharp warning.
"Damnit..." the tawney haired nurse whined, pushing himself back into a standing position. For a split second Tsuna forgot Hibari was even there, but a sharp 'smack' that came a moment later reinforced his presense.
"WHA-?! What are you doing?!" the younger of the two screeched.
"You had sand on your backside. I merely brushed it off for you."
"Y-you spanked me!!"
"Tomato, tomahto."
As Tsuna made sure his fingers had a firm clamp on his own buttocks (which was most likely now open as a potential target for who knows what else), all while keeping an aghast eye fixated on his undesired companion. Hibari, in all his pride and all his stubbornness, appeared to take very little care to the fact he was sexually harassing his own employee in a public setting, or that he'd turned that very same employee's face a dark sputtering crimson red. In fact he seemed quite pleased with accomplishing the latter.
Tsuna hoped by changing the subject would devoid attention as quickly as possible.
"Hi-Hibari-san, you said before, that you were here because I am... did you know I was here?" he asked meekly, his posture still rigid and on guard, but his tone was more at ease, even if only just a little. Hibari hummed, deep and low in his throat, lifting a slender finger for his small bird to land and ruffle its feathers with irritation.
"Thats right."
"But, how?! Even I didn't know I'd be here!"
There was a long pause, filled only by an audible gulp from the smaller of the two, and the sounds of the other beach goers and far off waves crashing.
"With the technology available in this day and age its very simple to track your movements without your knowledge I even had the means to do so." the dark Principal said simply. If Tsuna still had his ice cream cone, he'd drop it again.
"What?! Y-you've been tracking me?!"
"Of course. You're my employee, it's the Boss's responsibility to know what his underlings are doing."
"That's too extreme!! H-how have you been tracking me?!"
Another agonizing pause.
"If I tell you, you'd just remove the device."
"'Remove the-'!! WHAT DEVICE?! WHERE?!" Tsuna gaped and began frantically tearing at his body and cloths searching for any sign of anything he knew shouldn't be there. Hibari smirked.
"It's nothing, forget about it." he brushed off. The young brunet gaped ('How can I just forget about that?!"). The young principal picked himself up and stood, giving a wide stretch and yawn, sending the yellow bird into the air. Hibari didn't seem to take any notice when it landed lightly on the crown of his head, ruffled its feathers, and sat to stare eerily at Tsuna.
"Let's go."
"Where?" though Tsuna didn't know yet, he still trailed along after Hibari as they began to weave through the board walk. "I'm actually... someone is coming to pick me up from here... I'm not supposed to move so they'll be able to find me..."
Hibari came to an abrupt halt, nearly sending Tsuna crashing into his broad back. Light blue-grey eyes slid slowly and ominously in time with the dark haired man's neck, till Tsuna was being surveyed most severely.
"Those students...?" he asked in a deadly baritone. A hard lump stuck in the back of the young amber eyed nurses' throat as he clutched his own cell phone in his pocket. There was a voice in the back of his head screaming at him to shut up and just run the hell away, but his feet and his Boss's cold, warning stare had him glued to the sand dusted cement of the walkway. People on either side of the pair were making sure to walk in a wide oval around them, so as not to bring themselves into harm by way of the taller man's fierce aura.
"...St-students? You mean, M-Mukurou-kun and Byakuran-kun? What about them...?" Tsuna stuttered, trying his best not to wither pathetically. Hibari continued his scrutiny.
"Are they who you're waiting to pick you up?" his words were so precise and sharp it made the younger man flinch.
"Wha...? No..." Tsuna whimpered, an uncomfortable churning tightening his stomach into painful knots. He didn't like the way Hibari's bird seemed to have an intensly pleased glint in its eyes when it's living perch gave off a new, stronger wave of irritation.
"Who." once again, Hibari rarely 'asked' questions, but rather demaded an answer as if he had been born entitled to them in the first place. Tsuna felt a trickle of sweat roll down his brow and down his cheek. His pupils were so dilated that he would wonder later if it had damaged his vision at all. His silence was not going over well, and step by measured step, his employer closed the distance between them, those ice-grey eyes never betraying their pitiful target.
"Who is coming to retrieve you Tsunayoshi..."
Tsuna gulped audibly when slender pale fingers touched just around the nape of his neck, a thumb pushing his chin up very slightly to force eye contact Tsuna really, really didn't care to make at that moment.
"Wh-who...? Ah, he's-"
"TSUNAYOSHI-SENSEI!!"
A great weight slammed into Tsuna's ribcage, knocking him to the ground while Hibari's hands were still in the shape of his capture's chin used to be. Once on the ground, yet another weight piled on top of the first, and Tsuna struggled and flailed as much as his position would let him, under layers of two bodies and their many travling hands.
"Mou, Tsu-chan, we were so worried! Never wonder off on us like that again! You could have been hurt or abucted by some pervert and we would have never seen you again!" came the muffled shouting of the ball of white spikes that was pinning the right side of Tsuna's body. The young nurse blanched.
"I've already been abducted by you two perverts today! And don't talk to me like I'm a toddler!"
Without much warning, and yet not unwelcome in the least, both wriggling weights were wrenched from Tsuna's body to be clutched in the talons of one vary annoyed looking Principal. Tsuna gave a few sounds that sounded a bit like whimpers before using a nearby lamp post to pull himself up. Byakuran and Mukurou found him, it seemed, and Tsuna wasn't sure if he liked the combination they made when Hibari was present. Mukurou twisted around, his red eye focusing on just who was gripping his shirt collar.
"Oya oya, it's the Principal..." he sneered, obviously not delighted by the older man's presence. "I'm afraid we're out of your discipline range today, as its Summer and we're not in school, you see."
Tsuna mentally scoffed. Like it being summer ever mattered to Hibari Kyouya when he felt like biting someone to death. And indeed, the man just smirked and said nothing, his little yellow bird flying about chanting 'death to herbivores, death to students!' over and over again (Tsuna wondered why on earth a principal would teach its bird to say 'death to students' of all things). Byakuran had apparently decided to completely ignore who was the extra company, focusing more on the fact he'd found his escaped target once again.
"Tsu-chan, weren't you scared, all by yourself? It's great the signal was strong otherwise we wouldn't have found you!" he sang, somehow tearing himself free from Hibari (literally, the nape of his shirt was hanging in his principal's closed fist) and throwing his arms around Tsuna, taking the smaller -yet older- man into a few spins. Tsuna's head lolled about dizzily when they stopped, his fingers clutching at his Italian captor's arms.
"By-Byakuran-kun... what do you mean... 'it's great the si-signal was strong'...?" he asked once his brains had stopped turning into mash. Mukurou (who had been fighting with Hibari's iron grinp in a mad attempt to get his light haired classmate away from his precious school nurse) looked over with a glint in his eyes that never meant anything good for anyone.
"Kufufufufu, Tsunayoshi-sensei, of course there are means to make sure your whereabouts are always known!" he said, deciding to go ahead and sacrifice his shirt for the greater good (that being to be both closer to Tsuna and show the tawney haired man his impressive muscles). Tsuna paled a light milk-color as he picked apart the transfer-student's words.
"Don't tell me... a tracking device?!" he shouted. Both Mukurou and Byakuran nodded (looking quite pleased with themselves, even though Mukurou had just gotten whapped in the face with his own hawaiian shirt).
"Thats right, sensei."
Tsuna flipped out.
"What?! What the hell?! Just how many of those things do I have on me?!! Where are you all even putting them without me noticing?! Are there more?! I mean really, where the hell are you putting them?! Fuck!" he screeched (indeed, 'screeched'). Mukurou and Byakuran looked horrified, muttering ''Sensei just siad 'fuck'! 'Fuck', he said!''. Hibari leaned against a beach fence-barrier, looking generaly miffed, all the while Tsuna was once again tearing at his cloths and body with a renewed fevor.
"Relax, Tsu-chan. You'll be happy to know its in a place you will never ever find it!" Byakuran offered happily.
"HOW CAN I RELAX KNOWING THAT?!"
By this point, nearly the entire boardwalk had decided it was best to avoid this section of the beach entirely, and aside from a few teenage girls brave enough to remain for the sake of taking pictures of good looking men (their camera shutters clicking wildly when Mukurou's shirt had been removed), and a few elderly people who just comments on 'youth'. Tsuna and his three tormentors were quite absorbed, and thusly didn't care to notice the sleek black mercedes puling up a few yards away on the narrow street.
"Na, Tsunayoshi-senesei, shall we go to eat something then, you're going crazy from hunger I think!" Mukurou stated.
"This is a completely different kind of 'crazy', Mukurou-kun!" Tsuna snapped. Two-toned eyes blinked and then narrowed with a sly smirk.
"Oya oya, sensei, how indecent of you, we're in public you know..."
"Not that kind of crazy either!! Jeeze!"
Hibari lazily turned, his hand hiding a bored yawn. "It doesn't matter if Tsunayoshi is hungry or not." he said "He's already called someone to pick him up, apparently."
Two young heads snapped around as though cold water was just doused down their backs. Byakuran's hands came up and clamped over his mouth like some horrified house-wife. Mukurou returned to the state he had been, clutching his dark blue hair and chanting 'the person Sensei depends on..! The person Sensei calls..!' over and over. Tsuna had calmed down to the point he was able to acknowlage what they were even saying while still searching all over his person for any forgine object.
"I'm telling you guys, he's just-"
"Oi, Tsuna."
Four sets of eyes snapped around to the figure of a man who approached them with a lazy grace, his hand held up in greeting. The sun was right behind him, so they were all temporarily blinded by it for a moment, but Tsuna seemed both relieved and surprised at the same time.
"You're..! Ah, thank god!" he sighed, rushing to meet the new arrival halfway. The three young men left glared daggers at this interference, Hibari even more dangerously then the students. The new man smiled with a sly ease, like he knew something the others didn't. He pulled Tsuna to his side, slinging an arm around his shoulder as naturaly as can be, and nodded to the others.
"Ciaossu."
Here is a good time to end this chapter! Very short, I know, but I wanted to end at that point, so I had little choice in the matter
Who is this mystery man?! Hmmm... lol
Next chapter may surprise you! ahahahaha
Oh how I love Tsuna being tortured (and I really love writing Hibird as some demeted canary that kinda follows Hibari around without Hibari actually acknowlaging it). I'm more or less happy with this chapter. I think its funny to think that everyone is keeping tabs on Tsuna by way of tracking devices, like you would a dog or your kid LOL I wonder where they hid them on Tsuna anyway! Those types of things are very easy to make in the shape of buttons and watches nowadays you know!
Please stay tuned for the next chapter, readers! I hope I have entertained you so far! Thank you to reviewers and readers and even if you stumbled apon this story by accident and really hated it in reality, because that still gives me a 'view' count, so I'll take it, bwuahahahahaaaaa!!
thanks guys :]
