I have no excuse for being late except procrastination and laziness. I had it finished, I just never bothered to check it or edit it for mistakes. But now I did. And another favorite character makes their first appearance.

I, personally, love this chapter. IT will be Lee-ful...you have been worn. LOL

I don't own Katekyo Hitman Reborn, only the great Akira Amano.

"This is a violation of my first amendments rights!"

"Punishing you for smashing a metal bucket through the neighbor's windows has nothing to do with your freedom of speech. Either way, that can't even apply here. Were in Japan, Not America, you little brat!"

The mother, daughter duo glared at each other intensively. The little one looked away and huffed. "Jeezzz….your over exaggerating again….no one got hurt you old hag."

The women twitched and made a grab for the child. The child yelped. "HIII!"

Quickly taking action, a teenage boy grabbed hold of the women. A petite and brunette woman, the same age as the mother, stepped in between the child and women. "M-Mara-chan…please…calm down. Remember….it was just an accident and Lee is just a child."

The guy nodded in agreement. "Mama is right Kaa-san…don't let her get to you."

Mara kept struggling for a little bit longer before finally giving up and lying limp in her son's arms. "Hai…your both right."

She looked up to the lady in front of her. "Thank you Nana-chan." She turned back to other child and glared. "That still doesn't mean you're getting away scotch-free young lady. You're grounded indefinitely…aaannnnddd-…."

She grabbed a bottle of water and poured the contents into the buckets the child was holding up in each arms.

The buckets faltered in each hands and the child grunted, her eyes widening. "-You're to remain like that for an extra twenty minutes. "Mara smirked while Nana, her child looked torn between frightened and concerned. Mara's son-Beck looked on in pity towards the child."

The child's cheeks were turning red at the added weight, though she was still able to smirk. "Ha….is that….all you got….your slipping hag…you're slipping. Even Otou-san can do better than this."

The women twitched and put on a sickeningly sweet smile that looked utterly fake. "Is that right now….huh?"

She turned around and left the room. The child stared in confusion along with the other room's occupants until she came back….

….holding four gallons of water in each hands…

The child twitched as the women put two down and uncapped the other. The child blanched.

"K-Kaa-san…..c-come on….I-I was just kidding….K-Kaa-san…?" The women got closer to the child a big smirk on her face.

The child started sweating. "KAA-SAN PLEASE HAVE MERCY…I'M ONLY FIVE!" The child screamed. The women tipped the gallons over the bucket and smiled sweetly.

"Oh….but of course I am Lee." The gallons were tipped a little more. "…I couldn't find the hose anywhere."

A child's scream could be heard from the Sawada residence.

Liro

"D-Daijobu Desu ka…Nii-san….you okay?"

I groaned at the boy as he kept rubbing my sore arms. I looked up at him and tried to get up. It hurt like hell, so I stopped and let Tsuna push me down. I groaned again and he rolled me over till I was face up.

"Ughhh….easy on the merchandise Baka-Tsuna!" I yelled at the boy.

He flinched but smiled amusingly. I tried to grab his face but he pushed my arms down and laughed. "Gomen nii-san….do you want more ice on your arms."

I sighted. "No, but damn that old hag. This is pure child abuse, I tell ya. I'm so gonna call the cops on her! Just you wait…"

Tsuna gave me an odd look before laughing again. I looked at him as if he grew another head (actually…that would be so cool) and growled. "Nani? What's so funny fuzzball?"

He smirked at me (in a very un-Tsuna way that kind of startled me) "Isn't your mommy's daddy a police officer? Doesn't that mean the police will be on her side instead of yours?"

I looked at him and scowled. I groaned. "Dammit Tsuna, I hate it when you're actually right. That damn women is bulletproof." I looked at him with a glare. "We're doomed….forever and ever doomed."

I let my head hit the pillow.

"Nii-san…at least tell me if you're going to sleep." Tsuna pouted. I looked up at him and saw him turn off the light. He sat beside me and helped me get under the cover. I groaned as my bones creaked and he squeaked out a sorry.

After a really long time of horrible pain (stupid Tsuna) I was under the comfy covers looking at the ceiling, engulfed by the light from Tsuna's nightlight.

I turned to Tsuna and huffed. "Tsuna, you are way too old for a nightlight, what are you in kindergarten." Despite the darkness of the cool room, I still saw him pout.

"I am in Kindergarten and I'm five years old…..besides, you're too old for your blankey." I twitched as he smirked. 'How dare he bring Steve into this.'

"You leave Steve out of this bitch."

"Well leave my nightlight alone." I wanted to hit him but the soreness in my arms prevented him, not that he would let me get to him that easily (he's gotten pretty sly these past few days). I smiled.

"You know Tsuna….This side of you…I like it. You should be more assertive Tsu-kun. You'll be surprised to know that acting a lot less like a bitch will stop people from making you their bitch." I smirked at his pout but he started laughing. The he grabbed my arm and pinched it.

I squeaked. "Ow! Bitch!"

He smirked. Then he frowned. "Nii-san, your mommy looked pretty mad. Are you in real trouble this time?"

I looked at him. "I don't know Tsu-kun. That hag is always riding up on me and killing my vibe." I tapped our foreheads together and turned my body towards him. "Why are you asking all this?"

He smiled. "Because you've been causing so much trouble lately. You've gotten in so much trouble this week alone that no matter what you do later on, nothing will be able to compare to this."

"Really….I never really saw it like that." I looked at his worried face and smirked. "c'mon, don't get all wimpy on me. I'm 'Lee-nii-san' nothing can beat me down, not even the women that gave me life can (I know she tried). So stop worrying baka."

He smiled and my smirk grew. "By the way Tsuna-" I hit his shoulder.

"Hiiii! I-Itai!

I smirked. "Told you I could so throw that bucket fifty feet away."

Other point of view

I'm gonna have a heart attack before the age of twenty-five." Mara groaned her head on the table. Nana Sawada could only smiled as she rubbed her childhood friend's back.

She sat right next to the women and put a cup in front of her friend. "There-there Mara-chan, this stress is what's gonna give you that heart-attack before Lee ever can."

Mara groaned. "Wanna bet…have you seen the bill that man sent over for his window?" She groaned again.

Nana smiled. "You know, they always say Motherhood is the toughest job we could ever ask for. Not even fatherhood can compare, though they have their own problems." She picked up her cup and blew on it.

"A mother is responsible for that life…making sure that they grow up right and healthy and happy…that's a lot of weight to put on someone's shoulder."

She got no response. Nana put her cup down. "It's alright to feel frustrated from time to time Mara. Every mother feels that way when they believe they can't do anything better for their child. All in all, Lee is a good child Mara; hyper, trouble-making, very….very kinesthetic, but a warm and gentle child none the less."

Mara lifted her head and nodded. She grabbed the cup in front of her and guzzled it down. She sighted. "I know. But that brat of mine, sometimes I feel like she got all of my horrible traits. To make it worse I feel like she also got all of my stupid husband's horrible traits. If she wasn't the child I loved and adored I would swear she was the demon incarnate. Just like her parents" She sighted.

"I mean it's like looking at a mirror of my childhood days, of Decker's childhood days.….and you out anyone else in the world should know how that was." Mara plopped her head on her hand.

Nana laughed. "Oh Mara-chan, you worry yourself too much. You don't have such habits, not you or Decker." Mara glared at her and she smiled wearily back.

"Well okay. You can be a little high-strung, temperament even. You have almost no patience, you're cold sometimes, pretty strict, quick to snap, kind of a hypocrite, cynical, pessimistic, irrational, often scary, and pretty much a sociopath or maybe even a demon, but….you're not bad Mara."

Mara stared at her blankly as Nana got lost in though. "Even Decker with his big ego, narcissism, humongous-crippling pride, superiority and daughter complex, smugness, big mouth, Vanity, dramatics and overall lunatic-psychopathic tendencies….he's a good guy."

"Nana….you're not making this any better. If anything, you just made my point even stronger."

Nana could only frown as she tried (and failed) to coax her friend to calm down as she started banging her head on the table. Then someone coughed.

Nana looked over to the door and smiled. "Beck-kun!"

The twelve year old smiled. "Hi Mama…" Then he looked at the women with her head down and sat by her. Nana took the chance to go back to the kitchen to get more drinks.

The young boy- handsomely similar to his older brother only with hazel eyes, golden-brown hair, a sharp face and cold emotionless demeanor- petted the women's back.

"….Kaa-san…if you're that worried about Lee, maybe this will help." The boy slid the paper towards the women. Mara lifted her head and took the flyer.

After a while she looked at the boy "You can't be serious…."

The boy shrugged. "Stranger things have happened Kaa-san…maybe Jii-chan's way is the wrong way to approach this….maybe all Lee needs is someone she can't have wrapped around her finger to teach and discipline her in what's right and wrong."

The women glared. "You…your also her brother….and unfortunately, like your brothers and father and grandfather, are tightly wrapped around her finger. For you to suggest this….knowing your family's background and how she'd react….Why?"

"Don't get me wrong, part of me believes this is a sham and my blood is screaming that doing this is wrong….then again I have mafia-blood flowing through me so who could blame me, But you're worried and I don't like seeing my mother upset, so…I thought this could help."

The women looked surprised. The boy showed a slight smile on that blank face. "Kaa-san, we don't just have an obsession with Lee, we love you too…and, as all Miro men before us, we do anything to please the 'unofficial' Miro women we all adore."

Mara sighted and hugged the boy. "You're all so sweet, crazy…but sweet."

Nana came in and smiled brightly at the scene. She smiled watching her friend and the boy, she could consider another son; get these determined looks on their face. "My you two look determined. What's going on?"

"Preparations…" The two synced. Nana blinked.

"Preparations….preparations for what?"

"For war…."

Liro

"So welcome all, parents and children, to our first meeting."

This is so unfair…..so utterly unfair.

The cold, tall, and lean policeman walked back and forth in front of the audience. He had sharp- almond eyes with a scary aura of superiority…it was very similar to Jii-chan's.

"You are here today to teach, not only yourself, but your children in the way of public safety and community responsibility."

Ughhh…gag me with a spoon.

The Japanese man talked and talked and I couldn't help but groan again. Then there was a sharp pain on my shoulder. I felt the menacing aura behind me; the towering loom of my mother over me.

I straighten my back and grabbed hold of Tsuna's hands tighter. He looked over at me, still partly pouting since I made him come along in the dreadful morning.

Pfft….stupid boy. Did he really think I'd let him stay at home and watch cartoons while I have to go this stupid thing…he's out of his god-damn mind.

I scowled. Momma told me that if I went to this meeting and was on my best behavior, my grounding would be lessened to a week. Only, and if only I don't act up or cause a scene.

Of course I resisted, but then Beck held me down (Traitor) and momma put me in arm-hold while threatening me to come….or else.

I changed my mind, of course, only on the condition that Tsuna go along with me. Mama happily agreed, much to the boy's dismay and now…. well were here aren't we.

'The public safety committee training camp for youths'…Ughhh…just saying it hurts my badass-ness.

Then the man turned to us and dismissed the parents to their own workshop while he had us. Momma looked at me, sending a terrifying glare that said a thousand words (while scaring everyone around her, beck and mama).

I gulped and nodded back….do everything I'm told and be on my best behavior….got it.

We walked into the back of the white center into the backyard. It was like a training area, with a clear pass to a makeshift street and neighborhood for simulating 'safety guidelines.'

Tsuna looked all around very excitingly and I couldn't help but groan as every kid followed his example. Then, the man from before slammed his hand on the desk, spooking everyone in the process, especially the bigger kids.

I looked at the man uninterested as everyone around stared with a frightful look on their face. I smiled slightly looking back at the man.

To scare such a big crowd, with only a slight sound and look…..impressive….very impressive.

Hibari, Kyota…..what an interesting man.

Maybe this won't be such a pain in the ass after all.

The class took off and Hibari-san (he earned enough respect from me to be called with an honorific) soon split us up into groups with individual leaders to monitor our progress….our leader was 'Ogoku-san'.

A strict looking man that obviously didn't like kids, but would never deny anything to Hibari-san…. The type of person that seems fun to mess around with.

I smiled and Tsuna picked on it. He grabbed my arm and shook his head.

"What?"

"Nii-san remember what your mommy said….b-besides…don't get H-Hibari-san mad….he's, he's scary…"

I slapped his arm away and got him in a neck hold. I noogied him, making him yelp. "Oh shut up Tsuna, I know what I'm doing. Besides-" I let him go and walked towards our assigned area. "If it's too quiet and normal….it'll be to freakin boring."

The boy cringed at my words and came running behind me. "W-wait nii-san….your completely not doing what your mom told you…o-o-oi!"

Tsuna

I looked nervously at the soaking, and burnt man trembling in front of us. Then he stopped short, staring at nii-san (who in return looked back uninterested) with a terrified and confused loo on his face.

"E-explain yourself Oono…..please. The first exercise…all you needed to do….was look both ways before you crossed the street…..you….you caused a collision on an empty highway, performed highway robbery on the drivers and-and made the traffic lights collapse….how-why!?"

"I don't know what you're whining about. I did what was asked. I looked both ways….it's not my fault that car didn't stop when I was walking by. If it flipped over it was his fault. If I smashed his window in and threatened him after wards, demanding compensation in return for scaring my fragile psyche, he had it coming. If I had to make the traffic light fall unto the car when the man refused to pay, I find that perfectly reasonable."

I hit my head hearing Nii-san's 'reasoning'. Ogoku-san looked very upset. He started trembling, he looked really mad, but went on.

"The second exercise…..the one thing you only had to do was learn to never talk to strangers and how to use your emergency button."

"And I did just that."

"Y-you….You started yelling "I NEED AN ADULT" before our 'stranger' spoke to you, spooking and grabbing the attention of non-participant citizens, proceeded to act like you really were in danger (when you really weren't) which made the people call the cops, and got our provided actor beat up by REAL, unknowing policemen. Then you tried to solicit money from said actor so you'd call the policeman off….and when that didn't happen, you beat him, the policemen, and our officers up… and you still TOOK HIS WALLET! "

"…but I did it." Nii-san-san acted very offended. I sighted

The man started trembling even worse. I yelped as all of us watching (all of us kids knew who, and how nii-san was, so it wasn't really surprising that he did what he did.) felt the murderous intent from the adult.

"The last exercise was public pool safety….h-how…HOW DO YOU SET A POOL ON FIRE AND CAUSE A RIOT TO ERUPT FROM SENIOR CITIZENS!"

Nii-san shrugged."…..uhh…the internet." At nii-san's response, Ogoku-san started moving in an exasperated manner, twitching and then finally letting a yell leave his body.

….Nii-san still looked uninterested.

Then Hibari-san came forward from inside the white building. I trembled. Hibari-san was a scary person. Being the head of the police force of Namimori, he was responsible for keeping peace and keeping criminals from doing bad things, and mayhem, chaos and disorder from running amok.

Normally that'd be so cool…but Namimori is criminally free….do you know how incredibly, super-duper amazing that is…..and more importantly scary…..you'd have to be a demon…a monster…..another nii-san….to possibly accomplish something like that.

Hibari-san is scary…real scary.

Which comes across another reason to be afraid of Hibari-san….nii-san….nii-san is the definition of chaos, mayhem, disorder, and criminally insane….I mean look at what happened…..and this was when he wasn't even trying.

The tall man came closer and, despite looking strangely at nii-san, paid no heed of attention to him. I sighted in relief….crisis adverted….for now.

Hibari-san walked to Ogoku-san and immediately the man stopped spazzing and started trembling. Nii-san took this time to sneak away and back to my side.

"H-Hibari-sama-"

"Ogoku…..care to explain to me what happened to my training area...under your watch." Ogoku san trembled at the accusation and started to hastily explain what happened.

The scary man only looked on uninterested and highly spectacle, which was perfectly normal. Sometimes the things nii-san did were out of this world. If you didn't see it yourself…you'd find it incredible hard to believe anything of what Ogoku-san; especially when the chaos ridden mayhem is blamed on a seemingly, innocent looking child.

The perfect cover for nii-san and, the main reason why no adult ever blames, or suspects, nii-san for all the mayhem he causes or ever see that he's a devil in disguise, and in all, a harbinger of destruction.

If I didn't know nii-san as much as I did….I'd be looking at Ogoku-san the same way Hibari-san is doing; completely crazy and utterly idiotic.

But then….nii-san eludes this menacing and dark aura that's filled with bloodlust and danger. Only someone that's very sharp and perspective and Intuitive could notice…

….so that's why I'd never notice it.

Hibari-san stopped the man from talking and soon proceeded to lift him by the collar and drag him away. He looked back to us and the rest of the participant that had gathered away from us.

Since they saw what nii-san did, they made sure to steer away from him at a safe distance. I sighted. Well….nii-san's tyranny just grew again huh?

"The team that was under Ogoku-san is done with their exercise for today. You can all take a break while I deal-….talk with Ogoku over his 'actions'. When I get back everyone should be finished and I'll hand out your certificates."

He looked at all the proctors. "There will be no more mishaps…am I understood." Every one of them agreed heartedly. Then Hibari-san dragged away a whimpering, and crying Ogoku, who quickly stop making those noises after Hibari-san glared at him.

"Yeesshhh…that guys such a mess" I looked at nii-san. I frowned.

"Nii-san, you made him a mess!"

He shrugged it off and started walking away. I saw that the on lookers, and more specifically the proctors, part away in fear from nii-san. I sighted at the sight.

Nii-san's infamy just grew once again and unfortunately I couldn't stop it. Deep down, I felt like I just let nii-san's mommy down. After all, she trusted me to keep an eye on him when we went separate ways.

I'm more surprise she hadn't come over to check on us after all the commotion nii-san caused. She, Beck-nii-san and Momma must be really into this if they haven't even come once to check on us.

Oh well….I think that's for the best. After all, I didn't keep my promise.

Not that I real feel all that bad about it.

I mean….I feel bad…but I don't regret not doing something from stopping nii-san….because really….nii-san's….he's like a train. A person standing in front of it, especially someone as small as me, will do nothing but be run over ferociously and without mercy.

As much as I wanna help better nii-san….there's no hope for him.

I feel like the sky falling is more probable then that…I believe that without a doubt and I'm only five.

I felt that I kind of gave up…but really…after spending more than a year with nii-san…seeing him rule the neighborhood and our preschool with an iron fist….you just learn to accept these things.

Like for instant…Nii-san is a demon…will always be a demon….and no amount of chocolate-chip cookies will ever change that…no matter how much nii-san begs to differ.

I kept telling him that as I struggled to keep up with him, but he kept mocking me and bluntly denying his wrongdoing…..blaming it on the internet….like always. I sighted letting the conversation drop.

I followed nii-san into the traditional-Japanese housing that was connected to the big white building/ training area we were just in. It was really big and there was no one around.

As amazing as the house was, like I said before, it was empty. And after some experience and long-lasting survival I can safely say that an empty house and nii-san is not a good sign.

….that and weapons…and sharp object…and not-sharp objects….and the occasional squirrels.

I hurried to nii-san's side and grabbed his arm. I saw him look at me kind of annoyed and though it still scared me…I already got pretty used to it.

"Nii-san…"

"Nani baka-Tsuna…Don't be so clingy or I'll smack that stupid look off your stupid face" I twitched.

"Hiiii! C-chotto matte!" Well….maybe not. Nii-san looked satisfied at my yell and turned back to looking around the place.

I let my hands fall to my sides and blinked. "N-nii-san…what are you looking for?"

He looked at me and smirked. Taking his hands out of his jacket pockets he took out many snacks. I gapped and pointed at his 'treasures'. "When did you get all that!"

He smirked his trademark smirk. "Do you remember when that Ogoku-fellow was showing us the inside of the police station and he asked the officers eating to talk about their personal 'safety' experiences?"

I nodded. "Well when they were blabbing about all that stupid stuff, I borrowed them from their tray."

"…nii-san….that's stealing."

"No it's not….it's borrowing."

"Well we both know your gonna eat it all and you are so not gonna return it so it's stolen."

He growled and kicked my shin. I yelped. "Hiiii! What was that for?!"

"For being a smart-ass….that's my job idiot." He started walking away and I could only scowl at his back.

"Well you have to be smart to be a smart ass…." I grumbled out. He stopped talking and I twitched. He looked back at me and gave me a terrifying look. I yelped. My knees started shaking and I felt the cold chill, that only occurs around him and only him, run through my back.

There was danger coming. My gut screamed it, my head was pounding it into my skull, and my body already took it into stride as it started shaking at the malicious smile on nii-san's face.

He took a step towards me. "What did you say Tsuna…?"

I gulped and stuttered. "U-u-uhh…."

There was no return from this, I knew it very well. So instead of trying to make any more useless noise I ran….I ran like heck.

I heard nii-san make a noise behind him. "Get back here Baka-Tsuna!"

I ran for my life.

Liro

That little bastard can run.

I guess he actually does have something in him….I need to crush that.

I felt the smile on my face grow as his shrieks filled the garden while I chased him. He almost escaped me…..almost.

Seeing that he was too far away to catch up, I skidded like a baseball player and tripped the boy into the air.

"HIIIIIIIIIII!"

He glided in the air and fell flat on his back. Then the boy proceeded to roll around whimpering in pain, sobbing out words that I'm pretty sure were 'nii-san is a monster'.

I dubbed over laughing, but before I could go and discipline the boy of how he talked of his master, I stopped and dodged the projectile aimed for me. It whizzed by me and cracked on impact on the walls of the house.

I looked down at the acorn thrown and glared. I turned to the direction it came from and smirked.

The perpetrator that dared 'try' to hit me just stared back. A look of annoyance plastered on his face, with more acorns in his palms. He swung his legs from the tree branch but stayed still.

Then without thought threw another acorn at an amazing speed. I smirked and grabbed the fast projectile. I crushed it in my palms and let it fall to the ground.

So…..he's as stuck up as his father. I guess those gossiping cops that I stole my snacks were right after all.

I smirked. "Interesting."

Hibari, Kyoya…..very interesting indeed.

Hibari

I do not see the point of father's Safety lessons.

I understand the need for order and discipline, but bringing so many of 'them', so close to our house…..disgusting.

Why would father even enjoy being in a crowd, being at the dinner table is enough of a hassle for him. Mother than, always has to take his meal to his office.

I leaned into the tree and enjoyed the tranquility of the garden. Well….it's of no matter. As long as the crowd is far away from me and quiet, then it's of no importance.

That is…..until the explosions began. It rumbled the tree I was on and scared away the small squirrels and birds resting in my hair and lap.

I looked over the fence, separating the training ground and the garden and blinked. It went on for a while, followed by screams and yells.

This was strange very strange. There was disorder at the training ground. His father was at the training ground. That made absolutely no sense.

Then everything stopped. Everything was quiet and unsettling. The small animals still didn't come back.

The only time he's seen this type of commotion is when his father was establishing order. The poor fools….but the question comes back.

Why would there be disorder in a safety meeting; a meeting hosted by his father.

Something…..something is up.

Then the garden door opened. Having no care in the world, the two walked in into my abode. My abode.

One was a shivering mess but oddly enough looked content walking next to the other….boy- I believe-, despite the fact that I'm pretty sure he's the reason for the shivering.

The boy walked with an air of arrogance and dignified royalty. It was haughty, proud and filled with ego.

It was very similar to his father….no scratch that. While his father was a very proud man, it was mostly because of his position and the pride he had in Namimori. This boy's pride was even worse.

Even his own pride faltered at the boy, and even his father has stated that my worse fault was just that.

The boy eluded chaos. He had overheard the conversation between the two boys and found out that his assumptions were right.

If the shivering mess of a boy was right, the blond was responsible for the commotion from before; and apparently all the mayhem that has been happening more constantly these past months.

The one that has caused his father grieve for turning calm and peaceful Namimori upside down.

….But that's not important.

They were being loud.

Annoyingly loud.

In his house.

Utter foolishness.

This idiot boy and his, more or less, wimpy friend are out of their mind.

This was his house, his rule and his quietness. Even is the blond was responsible for some commotions, that did nothing to faze him.

More than the aura of danger, he eluded….stupidity practically emitted from the boy.

And stupidity was something that he absolutely would not tolerate. He would not have it.

That boy will learn to behave…or else.

I reached for some of the nuts left by his small companions, and with all my force aimed them at the maniacally laughing boy.

It was aimed perfectly to hit the blond, but then the blond went rigid. Losing the stupid aura, he stopped in his tracks and dodged the acorn by doing nothing. His face went cold and the dangerous aura increased around him.

I stopped leaning on the tree at the killing intent. I glared as the boy quickly spotted my location and smirked.

I felt a cold chill pass through my body. Only one person has terrified him, had stilled him with only one look…..and that….that place was only reserved for someone worth it: his father.

Despite the spike of terror inside himself, he steeled his resolve and once again took another projectile and flung it towards the blond's direction.

The blond instead of dodging it, intercepted it in his hand. The acorn was crushed in the boys hand and a large smirk covered the boy's face.

The boy's voice trembled with excitement, a look of discovery on his face. "…Interesting…"

A new chill raced through my spine. This one was filled with new brought fear and….most of all…excitement.

I jumped off the tree branch and walked towards the blond. The blond leaned back on the porch and motioned for the other boy to come to his side.

I stopped barely five feet away from the boy and scowled.

"HIIIIII!" The boy beside the blond yelled.

The blond grunted and pushed his face away, never breaking eye contact with me. I grunted watching the brown head boy hide behind the blonde's legs.

The blond crossed his arms and petted the boys head. He smirked at me and whistled. "..Oi boy…now look what you have done. You've scared my pet-….my friend shitless."

The boy on the floor stared blankly at the blond and started crying over the blond finally admitting their master-slave relationship.

Pathetic, I looked back at the blond, who was bluntly ignoring the boy. He kept talking. "Then again everything does so I guess I can forgive you for that. But-"

He lifted his hand up, showing another acorn. "How dare you throw something at my beautiful face?"

I scowled at his words. "…You were disturbing the peace blond. You and your pet. This is a place of order and regulation….a crowding mentally challenged boy and his quivering mess of a friend that will no doubt disrupt that needs to leave….or else."

The blond smirked and took a step forward. He walked till we were face to face and it was only until he was there that I noticed that he was taller. He was unkempt and full of energy; appearing to have a difficult time just staying still. His dark eyes were filled with a mischievous look.

He growled as he tilted his head and I swallowed the urge to hit the satisfaction off of his face.

"…Or else what?" The blond questioned, full of confidence.

I smirked. It's been a while since anyone else but, father that had awaked this feeling in me.

Excitement….true, fearful, excitement that only a person worthy of fighting can achieve in creating.

Like the blond had said before…this was truly interesting.

"…..Kamikorosu."

Liro

'I'll bite you death' I stared at the boy, a mirror image of his father.

I smirked at his proposition and, before he had an opportunity to react I swung my leg with force. He reacted, raising his arm to block it, but it was messy and he skidded away.

I felt Tsuna's arm grip the back of my sweater and looked at him. I smirked and petted his head. "Sorry Tsuna, any other day I'd understand and try not to fight someone but-"

I looked at Hibari and smirked. "No can do….Have you noticed….he's the first to actually be standing despite the fact I kicked him away."

Tsuna looked up at me surprised and got up. I looked at Hibari and smirked. "So Tsuna, you better let go, back up, and stay away….even I won't be able to keep your mug in place if you don't do otherwise."

He looked at me for a while, contemplated my words and soon let go. He shrieked and disappeared to a safe distance away, inside the house, but still within watching distance.

I almost laughed but felt the presence of an incoming target. I dodged the boys punch, but could only raise my leg to defend from his kick.

The force pushed me back and I had to somersault backwards to keep my beautiful face intact from his incoming punch.

I skid to a stop and before he had an opportunity, I slammed my leg into his side. He hissed and grunted, but managed to elbow my shin before he tumbled backwards. I groaned at the pain but managed to twirl around at the momentum. I roundhouse kicked the back of the boy.

He growled and, despite the kick connecting on his back, he stood up really fast and head dived into to my gut

I grunted at the pain, but forced myself to stop skidding backwards. I held back the boy but, felt my arms give in. We tumbled backwards and soon rolled away. I frowned standing up.

I rubbed my belly seeing the other boy stand, glaring daggers at me. I smirked and he smirked back. Then he started walking towards me and I followed. The walk turned into a run and soon we were face to face dodging each other's punches and kicks.

I grimaced as he was able to scratch my face. I grabbed his arm, and before he could react I punched him in his stomach. He grunted, and letting his hand go, flew into the tree he was previously on.

I felt out of breath, and I vaguely recognized Tsuna's yelling from the back. I stared at the boy near the base of the tree and started walking towards him.

Then a throbbing pain came from my cheek and realized that he had managed to land a hit before he was blown away.

Interesting…..very interesting.

The boy looked up at me and scowled. He tried to stand up but winced and fell down the side of the tree.

I smirked, wiping the blood from my cheek. I got to him and I could only dodge the punch he threw at me before I pinned his neck with my foot to the tree.

"You don't know when to stop do you? I wonder what's keeping you fighting for so long." He glared at me and punched my leg. I winced and punched him in his ribs. He grunted and kicked my leg.

I scowled and pushed my foot harder into his neck. He winced and I stared at him. "You know…you'll never beat me boya."

He twitched in my grip and looked up at me. Despite the various bruises, scratches, and bloody nose, he managed to give a very ferocious glare.

I bet if it was anyone but me, it'd scare them shitless. Unfortunately for birdy here….he only had me in his vicinity.

"…"

I saw him stare at me, willing me to say anything remotely to that 'lie' I had said. I frowned. "Nani….do you really think I'm lying…I'll say it again; you'll never beat me Tori-chan."

He scowled, and scowled worse as my nickname for him left my mouth. Using all his strength he pushed my foot away from his neck and tackled me. We rolled on the ground and I managed to kick him away.

I jumped on him and held his arm and legs down. I looked down at him and smirked. "See…I told you so Tori-chan…..you'll never beat me."

He frowned. "….Anyone….who disturbs the peace….will be punished."

I smirked. "Big word for a guy pinned down. Regardless of what you say….you'll never stop me….wanna know why?"

"…"

I laughed "You're a quiet one aren't you…oh well…it doesn't matter. I'll tell you. Cause you're a herbivore and I'm a carnivore."

He twitched and looked up at me. "….Ridiculous…"

I smirked and pulled on his arm harder. He winced but didn't break eye contact. "Is it really? You know I'm right herbivore. Look at how weak you are, how easy it was to pin you down. You're nothing but a weak animal like your little companions."

He twitched at my words and his struggle to free himself got stronger. I smirked, sitting on his back. His looked furious and didn't relent in his struggle to escape.

"…I am no herbivore."

"Well you're certainly not a carnivore Tori-chan. Since when does order and peace exist in the world of a carnivore? Chaos and disorder is what makes a carnivore, not what you stand for. Besides-" I smirked at the boy.

"-You're only following the words and principles of your father. If you were really passionate in keeping the order of Namimori, you'd actually be a carnivore, like your dad is." He twitched and gave me a horrible glare. I jumped off of him and dodged his barrage of hits and punches.

I kicked his arms away and kicked him in his chest. He grunted and skidded back. He collapsed, gasping for air unto his knees.

"Don't be so mad boya. I'm just telling it how it is."

"You…are making me mad blond….you are wrong and you will take back what you've said."

I smiled. "Wow…that's the most I've heard you talk. Tell me…have I finally gotten your attention herbivore."

He grunted and, despite the obvious pain he's feeling, came at me and started attacking. I dodged the majority of his barrage of attacks but, he was able to land a hit on my beautiful face.

That bitch.

That shit really hurt...and more importantly blew my beanie away.

I grunted at the pain, but stood my ground and punched him back. He glared at me and grunted. Then, losing his balance collapsed back.

I sighted, limping back. I got my hat, dusting it off. Putting it back on, I turned to look at Tsuna who only looked back with a crossed look. It was full of fear, worry, and amazement.

I smirked.

I wonder what amazed the boy more: the fact that the boy in front of me managed to stand his ground without running away, or the fact that he managed to land a hit.

Maybe it's the opposite.

Did he really think that much of that guy? Did he think I'd lose.

Ridiculous.

A guy who fights for a second hand honor is weak. Thought I will admit, if he'd only focus on fighting for the sake of fighting, that guy might just be something to look out for.

That blood lust in him...if he ever notices it and embraces it, he'll probably catch up to me one day.

Like Tsuna.

Even though it doesn't seem like it, he may one day be like that Jii-chan or papa and daddy...

Scary...

But…. something that I'd really like to see.

Both from Tsuna and Tori-chan here.

I looked back at Hibari. The boy was already struggling to get up…..very impressive.

I raced towards him and landed on him with my knees. He gasped and struggled, but I pinned him down.

He glared at me; despite his battered face "...get off me. NOW."

I smirked and pressed closer to him "Giving orders now huh? Well….make me herbivore...oh….. Right you can't"

I smirked.

His eyes widened and then he scowled. His struggling worsened and I actually felt him start to break my hold. Without hesitation I tilted my head back, and smashed it into his face.

A cracking noise was heard and a slight wince of pain followed. The struggling stopped and I saw some blood fall from his nose. His nose broke apparently.

The boy went limp. "Nii-san!"

I saw Tsuna come at me. By my side, he looked down at the boy under me and paled considerably. "…I-i-is he…"

"Of course not idio-….."I widened my eyes at his word and looked back at the raven-haired. I grabbed him by his collar shirt and shook him. "O-oi…"

I got no response. I let him go from my grip and paled. I looked back at Tsuna who started crying.

"This is not good Tsuna….Not good at all. All right…no need to cry over spilled milk...we need to get our stories straight."

Tsuna stopped crying and looked at me with a shocked face. "WHAT!"

"We were never here…..we can ditch the body in the river downtown. Then we'll get fake id's, shave our heads and grow mustaches, move to Mexico, build a house near the seaside and start a new life selling churros and sale-able commemorative bobble head to tourist."

Tsuna looked shocked and grabbed his head. "….t-that sounds rehearsed….WHY DOES THAT SOUNDS REHEARSED!"

I didn't get to reply because soon, there was a sharp pain in my cheek. I pushed Tsuna away and managed to land on my back instead of my head. Soon there was a weight on me and I saw fists coming at me.

I grabbed them before it made contact with my face. I looked up at the boy who still had some fight in him.

I growled. "Dammit….there goes Acapulco."

He grunted and put more force on his fist. I redirected into the side, sacrificing my chin and shoulder, and he fell over.

I sat up and looked back at the boy. His eyes held a gleam of excitement, then his usual annoyance.

I smirked recognizing the feeling. After all, I felt it almost every day.

Blood lust...Gained from the thrill of battle, or a strong opponent.

So….I was right.

He was interesting after all.

I rubbed my throbbing chin. "Oi Tori-chan….I probably dislocated your shoulder, broke your nose and gave you a serious concussion. I bruised your stomach and more than likely twisted your ankle, wrist and several fingers….yet….your still moving….you…are a beast my friend."

He looked at me, making no indication of responding or moving. Tsuna came to my side and with his help, lifted me up. Hibari never took his eyes of me.

"…take it back."

"Take what back….calling you a herbivore….or calling you Tori-chan?" Tsuna twitched and looked sideways at me, pleading me to stop poking the bear.

"…I am no herbivore."

"…maybe….but you're still no carnivore….a carnivore would be far more ballistic, blood lustful, someone itching to fight for any minuscule goal or task. Don't get me wrong, just look at what happened just now, when I pushed you down to your lowest level….you unleashed the beast!"

He looked on. I continued. "That's a carnivore….will maybe that's giving you too much credit…you'd still be an omnivore at best….why…BECAUSE I'M THE ONLY CARNIVORE!"

Tsuna twitched at my side and Hibari growled. He came at me, but I kicked him in the head. Gosh that's smart. I guess Hibari's not the only one with twisted and bruised joints. The momentum almost pushed me and Tsuna back but, surprisingly he held his ground.

I looked back at Hibari. "Hey Tori-chan…..how about this….when your able to stand up and not have a tattered face….and for some miracle your able to outsmart, outwit and beat me in a fight….then I'll be willing to share my title with you."

He sat up and growled. Tsuna yelped at that but kept still.

"Hey….be lucky I'm actually acknowledging the fact that you might beat me…MIGHT. Beside I might be wrong….like your 'order and epic love for Namimori' will actually beat me."

I saw his face form a scowl. I nudge Tsuna. He ripped his terrified face from Hibari towards mine. "…Tsuna….now would be a good time to run…."

He paled and then a crash vibrated in front of me. Hibari was up.

"….TSUNA RUN…...but do it epically, because I won this fight."

"HIIIIIIIIIIIIII!"

Tsuna

We…we got away.

I leaned back on the wall of the training office. Nii-san groaned as I let him fall unto the wall. I looked at him.

He was battered and bruised and beyond bloody. This was the first time I actually saw him like this. Beaten up.

It was weird….usually…nii-san leaves people like this…not the other way around. I looked back in the direction we came from.

That Hibari guy….he was scary….like almost nii-san scary.

I looked back to nii-san and sighted. Now that we were, with what I hope is good distance between that boy and us, I slid down beside nii-san.

He looked at me and smiled tiredly. "…Tsuna….I'm tired."

I frowned at him and, to my best ability, glared at him. He looked surprised and frowned. "W-what's with that face baka-"

"Nii-san you're really hurt. You went too far this time. How could you be smiling after that?" I almost yelled. His smiles disappeared and his eyes widened. He said nothing, apparently being taken aback by my words.

And to that…. I say amen…because I'm surprised at myself too.

Sure, there was still that inner fear of him hitting me for my indolence deep down inside me. He was hurt, not crippled for crying out loud.

But….seeing him hurt…and bleeding and still being able to smile like it was nothing, like he actually enjoyed it….It made me….mad…furious actually.

Or something like that...

But maybe it's that something that's keeping me grounded as I stare down at nii-san. His face went back to normal and he just stared back.

"..Tsuna."

Surprisingly enough…instead of doing like I had though he would do, he started shifting uncomfortably.

Then I felt a pain in my arm. "Hiiii!"

I cradled my arm, staring back at the person responsible for it. "Nii-san!"

"What? Y-you were acting weird. Like really weird."

"That's no excuse to hit me!"

I extended my hand towards him and frowned. He looked up at me surprised. "N-nani….are you gonna hit me in my delicate state."

I scoffed. "Like you could be anything like that nii-san. Beside…even in a 'delicate' state you'd probably find a way to dodge and punch me back."

He smirked and I took his hand. He hissed and grabbed his ankle. I looked at him. "Daijobu?"

He frowned. "I think I sprained it when Hibari dead-possum me."

"Dead possum?"

He glared at me. "What….it works…?"

I smiled and lifted him up. Then I crouched down with my back to him. He seemed surprised. "What are you doing Tsuna?"

"Well…your hurt….and I might be scrawny….but I think I'm strong enough that I can give you a piggyback ride."

He looked surprised for a moment before he climbed unto my back. "…I'm too tired to argue you with you…now…lift me up slave and walk."

'So basically you actually really like the idea but you're too stubborn to admit it.' I smiled at that and got up. I staggered and look back at nii-san.

"Nii-san…you need to cut down on the cookie cake."

He twitched. "Are you calling me fat Tsuna?"

"No….just that you're extremely heavy."

A hard smack resounded through the alleyway.

"Hiiiiii!"

Other point of view

"P-please have mercy Kaa-chan! It's not like I purposely wanted it to end up like this!"

"Hiiii!"

"I ask you to behave for one day….one day…and you….YOU DESTROY THE TRAINING CENTER, BEAT UP THE CHIEF INSPECTORS SON TO A PULP AND YOUR STILL DENYING IT…YOUR OUT OF YOUR GODDAMN MIND!"

There was a loud crash.

"M-MARA-CHAN Y-YOU HAVE TO CALM DOWN, YOU HAVE TO CAL- PUT DOWN THE COFFEE TABLE!"

"AHHHHH!"

"H-H-Hiiiiii!"

"GET BACK HERE YOU LITTLE BRAT. DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG IT'LL TAKE TO PAY THIS OFF!? WE'LL BE IN DEBT FOR LIFE! UGHH….WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU-"

"I'M SORRY!"

Beck could only stare back at his 'family'. He bowed once more to the questioning authorities and Hibari-san (Who oddly enough, he looked more surprised and satisfied staring at Lee then actually being mad, like any normal parent would. Especially after talking to his hospitalized son.).

He followed his family out of the hospital and just stared once more as his mother chased his sister- all bruised and bandaged, Tsuna- who poorly got dragged into it, and Nana and some hospital employees chasing after them as they tried to stop the older women from throwing miscellaneous large objects (hospital property) on young children.

The boy sighted once more. "In the end….were back to square one aren't we."

"TASKUETTE!"

"YOU BETTER PRAY THAT SOMEONE DOES BRAT!"

"H-HIIIIIII, TASKUETTE MAMA!"

"MARA-CHAN PLEASE STOP! TSUNA, LEE, RUN!"

"PUT THE TABLE DOWN MA'A- HURRY AND CALL SECURITY!"

"CALL BACK THE POLICE!" "GET THE TASER!"

"I'M SORRY WAHHH!"

"….I guess that answers that."

Well we all knew this was more or less how Hibari and Lee would've met.

Poor Tsuna, hasn't anybody told him that calling a girl fat will not end good...then again he thinks Lee is a boy so it's okay.

I'm almost finished typing the next one, and this time I mean it. Please leave any reviews.
