Here is the next chapter! Please, do not hate me for Hibari's crazy mind; its for the good of the story! I actually like him! As for Lussuria, I truly believe his crazy personality and his sunglasses are there to hide a deep pain that happened earlier in his life. We know nothing of his past; even Levi had some explanations to his obsession with Xanxus! Anyway, agree or disagree! Here is the next chapter; Tsuna's friends will be appearing in the next few chapters as well as a figure of Hibari's and Tsuna's past... Enjoy!

Chapter 9

Newly appointed captain Hibari Alaude was rather surprised to see Xanxus standing in his office; his secretary never told him anything about the writer. Repressing a frown of disapproval, the Captain stayed calm and stoic as he made his way to his desk; Xanxus sat in the chair before the desk with an equally stoic face. An angry and dark gazing competition started up between the two men; neither of them was going to bow down to the other one!

However, time was an issue for a writer and he had no time to waste with pity rivalries and past grudges; not when Tsuna was stalked and manipulated by some crazy psycho who had trouble with moving on!

-Look, Alaude… started Xanxus, ending the gazing contest.

-It's Captain Hibari, now! Said arrogantly the policeman; he was clearly enjoying this.

-Captain. Hibari. I need to speak to you about Tsuna's safety; he is being stalked by one of your men! My driver saw him outside of Tsuna's apartment the day you came to visit me in my penthouse, about two weeks ago; sitting at a coffee shop and peeking at the apartment complex every few minutes. His car was spotted a few times in front of my apartment building by the concierges and the doormen; as well as in front of a friend of mine's pastry shop a few times! And last weekend, he was spotted at the spa that Tsuna and I had been staying at! Tsuna is terrified; he doesn't want to leave my apartment without me accompanying him! Said Xanxus as he handed a file with the testimonies from the witnesses, pictures of the car and a digital key with videos on it.

To say that Captain Hibari was surprised would be an understatement; this was not some jealous and possessive boyfriend trying to keep his lover's friends and family out of Tsuna's life as Kyoya had told him. There was hard-core evidence that someone was stalking the young man; evident by the photos of the same car appearing at different locations and the videos of said car staying at one places for long periods of time, only to leave once Tsuna was leaving said building or area. Upon closer inspection, Alaude noticed that someone was in the car; someone he who looked strangely like his younger brother! However, he needed to be sure before doing anything; he could ruin his only brother's reputation and carrier if he was wrong!

-How do you know this is one of my men? It could be anyone else! Or someone that resembles one of my men! Said the captain, sceptical.

-Upon discovering that Tsuna was being followed; one of my security guards went to knock on the window of the car in order to get a good look at him and some answers. The man told him to leave him alone and that he was on the lookout for a criminal; he showed his badge and shooed him away. The badge number is in the testimony of the man! Counter-attacked Xanxus with a stern look.

Upon looking at the badge number, Alaude could no longer deny the evidence; all the descriptions matched that of Kyoya and his badge number as well. However, this was not like him; being so sloppy as to use the same car every time he followed his target, as to get spotted so easily, as to show his badge and his face like this! Kyoya was his best element; he was to become his right-hand man and soon, captain of his own division! This was not like him at all! As hard as it was to admit it, Kyoya was using police resources to stalk Tsuna and by the looks of it, he was becoming bolder at an alarming rate; if the recurrent sightings where any indications.

-I'll call in the man you suspect to be the stalker and I'll question him myself! In the meantime, all I can recommend is to keep records of all appearances as you did before, any correspondence Tsuna may receive, make sure to cut all the ties with the stalker! You did everything you should have; however, if it something new happens, contact us immediately! Do not handle this on your own! Warned Alaude, worried beyond hell for his brother and for Tsuna.

-What do you mean by «something new»? asked Xanxus, wondering what more could be done by the stalker.

-If the stalker starts to have contacts with Tsuna; for example, if instead of simply watching Tsuna, he starts to enter Tsuna's work place or starts to get aggressive verbally or physically towards him. Do not go and confront him; you are the one who will be charge if you end up in a fight for assaulting a police officer! Besides, confrontations by current lovers or friend and family always angers the stalker and make him either unpredictable and only more determine to stalk his «prey»! Call us and once we have him in custody; you can file a proper restraining order! Explained Alaude as he gave him his private phone number.

Xanxus swallowed his pride and thanked the policeman; it was hard for him to delegate. Especially to someone who was his greatest rival; Xanxus was a prideful man and was used to dealing with dangerous situation on his own or with the help of his adoptive father's contacts. However, these were special circumstances; his enemy was a policeman and someone of high profiled. If Hibari turned up dead with two bullets in his head; questions will have to be answered and Tsuna could risk finding out about his father less than legal activities! This was unacceptable! Who was to say that Tsuna would accept it and stay with by his side if it was discovered?

Tsuna clearly loved him and never believed that Xanxus had cheated on him when everything proved it; he stayed by his side and Tsuna was a forgiving person! However, Xanxus could not take the bet of Tsuna founding out about this; it was too much of a gamble for him. So, he took the high road and asked for help from his rival; what wouldn't he do for his caramel haired lover?

At Dino's shop…

-Squalo, would you be so kind as to make sure that the car isn't there? Tsuna's shift ended and he needs to leave; I don't want him to feel bad here! He's been so jumpy and nervous ever since the spa week-end! This Hibari guy really scares him; I've made sure to up the security and drive him back and forth from Xanxus's apartment… It does calms him; however, I can tell it's not enough… said Dino, worried for his new friend.

-Of course… answered Squalo before looking out the window. Tell Xanxus to come and pick up Tsuna; the car is still there! Tell him to come by the back; I am not letting out of here with that sicko! He could very well hurt you to get to Tsuna; he seems less incline to confront Tsuna if Xanxus is there!

Dino didn't need to be told twice! He called the writer and told him to come by the back of the shop; the policeman was still there and it was too dangerous for Tsuna to leave on his own. In record time, Xanxus was there with his newly re-enforced car and his gun-carrying driver; he didn't want to take any chances as Hibari had become more and more determine to contact Tsuna.

It had started shortly after Xanxus's meeting with Alaude; the captain had held his word and had interrogated his brother on the multiple lies he had told his superiors and his abuse of police resources. Clearly, Kyoya was letting his bitter resentment and anger cloud his judgement as he told off his captain and accused him of siding with Xanxus to keep Tsuna away from him; he went so far as to accuse him of taking bribes from the writer! It had been too much; Alaude, as much as it pained him, had no choice but to suspend Kyoya for insubordination, launch an investigation against his brother as a certain Byakuran held claims that Kyoya was taking bribes from the white haired man and serve him a restraining order against him, signed by the judge. It had fueled the rage and resentment of the Albatross!

Hibari Kyoya no longer enjoyed staying in his car and watching his prey; he was now entering the shop to speak with Tsuna and even touch him. When Dino or anyone tried to stop Hibari or if Tsuna refused or asked him to leave; Kyoya would insist or reply sharply against the third party! One time, he grabbed Tsuna's wrist forcefully and pulled him close to him; he demanded for Tsuna to leave with him at this moment! After this, Hibari Kyoya was banned from the shop and was almost arrested for disobeying his restraining order; and, now Xanxus or someone else accompanied Tsuna everywhere he went! It was hard on Tsuna, but there was no other choice.

-Dino! I just locked the front door and I lowered the gates! Come sit down with me; let's cuddle! It'll make you feel better… proposed Squalo, noting his lover's nervous state; he never was this nervous, even when his business was failing!

The clumsy blond sat next to his lover, but was unable to fully relax; his thoughts always led back to the young man that he now considered his little brother! Noticing that the blonde's attention wasn't on him, Squalo started to run his hands all over the shoulders and arms of his boyfriend; but, still Dino shifted and turned his back to him, lost in his own worries. Far from being offended by this behavior, Squalo started to massage his lover's shoulders and neck; knowing full well how much the blonde loved it!

Dino unintentionally moaned as all of his tension points were pressed and massaged; Squalo smirked as he saw his boyfriend melt under his expert hands. As gently as he could, Squalo placed butterfly kisses all over his lover's neck; making him moan and snuggle into his man's arms. It didn't take long before Squalo snaked his hands under his lover's shirt; it took even less time for the two of them to make out passionately; and it took no time at all for Squalo to push his lover into the couch and tenderly make love to him…

At Fran's and Belphegor's place…

-Bel-sempai! Why are you running your hands into my pants? Asked the stoic, green haired young man.

-It's fun, froggy! Answered the grinning prince before nibbling on his lover's earlobe with obvious pleasure.

Fran moaned and sighed in pleasure; not being one to be selfish, Fran began to run his hands on his lover's legs. Belphegor purred as his lover arched his back into his chest and through his head back at the sound escaping the blonde's throat! He just knew this was going to be a wild night; and God did Fran and Belphegor needed it! After their last encounter with this Hibari Kyoya guy; Fran needed to feel good.

Fran never had any problem with psychos; he was dating one after all! However, earlier that day, they had to confront the man as he was caught trying to break into Tsuna's apartment! They had been assigned to protect the apartment, in case the stalking policeman would try and wait for Tsuna at his home; they were not deployed for nothing. Hibari had picked the lock and try to enter the apartment; to say he was surprised by the two would be an understatement! Belphegor had told him to leave before he would be forced to call the police force; Hibari smirked at this and tried to walk pass by the blonde by shoving him aside. At this Fran placed himself before the man and took his nightstick; the threat had been clear: leave or prepare to get your ass kicked! The young man barely had time to block the raven-head's kick; his reflexes had kept him from having the bones in his arm shattered in pieces. Hibari was getting more dangerous by the day! The only incentive that convinced the disgraced policeman to leave was when two colleagues appeared and came to arrest him; meaning them were going to release him a few blocks further away!

The memory of the crazed and furious gaze of the mad-man had send shivers down Fran's spine! Clearly, Hibari was losing his mind and his combat skills made him one of the most dangerous man the green haired young man had ever encounter; he could still feel the vibrations from Hibari's kick in his arm.

-Relax, froggy! You have nothing to worry now; I'm here! Whispered the blonde as he gently kissed his lover.

Fran turned around and locked lips with his lover before melting into his arms; Belphegor took his froggy in his arms and led him to their bedroom; dead set on changing his lover's mind.

At Lussuria and Levi's home…

-Lussuria, darling! Do you need anything else? A glass of wine, perhaps? Asked Levi as he hands a plate of fine cheese and crackers.

-Oh! Levi-honey! Come here and sit with me! You've been so thoughtful lately; I just want you to sit down and I want to relax in your arms. Please! plead Lussuria as he patted the spot next to him.

Far from Levi to deny such a lovely request from his fiancé; especially when it was done with such an adorable pout. Therefore, he sat next to his lover and took him in his arms; he started nibbling right under Lussuria's ear; his weak spot! The punk moaned and tugged against his lover's belt; after all the nice things his boyfriend had done for him for the past three days… He was going to make sweet love to him!

After their encounter with the policeman, Levi deserved to be treated like a king! Three days ago, while Lussuria and Tsuna had been shopping gifts for their special someone for up-coming St-Valentine's day; they both wanted some sexy lingerie for their men. Fran and Dino had agreed to meet them later on; they had businesses to attend to!

Walking down the streets, Tsuna failed to notice the raven-head follow them; but, Lussuria had noticed him from the beginning! He had insisted for Tsuna to enter some store to see the specials; he was going to get them some smoothies. The punk blocked the policeman as he tried to enter the same store as Tsuna; he didn't move when Hibari tried to shove him aside or flinched when he received the second darkest glare in his life. The policeman back up a bit and sized up his opponent; Hibari had made sure to find out everything about Xanxus's bodyguards. Out of all of them, Lussuria was the only one after Xanxus who could actually take him on; his martial arts prowess was a force to be reckoned with! So, the policeman used another tactic; get in the man's head. It was sneaky and underhanded, but if he could avoid a confrontation that would put him in the hospital for the next two weeks…

-I see your fiancé finally grew a pair and asked you to marry him! Noted Hibari as he eyed the ring on his opponent's finger.

Lussuria didn't say anything; Hibari was unstable and talking wasn't his strong-suit! Something was up!

-I wonder… You didn't tell your lovely parents about your engagement, am I right? Deviously asked Hibari as he enjoyed the subtle shift in the punk. It's probably a good thing! Who knows how they're going to react to such a new? Especially, since last time you talk to them, your mother threw a beer bottle at your head and your father beat you within an inch of your life! All of this because they were homophobic alcoholics who passed down their anger upon you… So sad, really! But, I see you've come a long way from the whorehouse they sold you to after you're coming out. It's nice to see all the fruits of your efforts and hardships come to floriation!

If Lussuria didn't have years of training in the art of hiding his emotions through a mask, he would have cried his entire supply of tears. Only Levi knew of his past; he was the only one to whom he had told the whole truth. All his pain, all his anger, all his resentment towards those who were supposed to love him unconditionally and protect him from the harsh world, all his injuries… They were secrets that he only shared with his beloved; even if Squalo and Xanxus had been told the outline of his life, only Leviathan knew the sordid details.

Anger flared up into the punk; if that cheap bastard though that bringing up past nightmares was going to force him to lower his guard… then, he seriously underestimated the flamboyant punk!

Lussuria launched at the policeman; not even thinking about the consequences of his actions! Before either of them knew it; Levi had appeared between the two and had stopped Lussuria's fist mere inches away from the raven-head's face. Holding his lover in his arms, Leviathan spoke to the disgraced police officer that was facing his back to leave or he would let Lussuria go and would not stop him until Hibari was dead…

Hibari had his pride; he was in an unstable set of mind; but, even he knew when he was facing an opponent far more powerful than him! He had underestimated the punk and the rest of the group for the last time. Hibari left and promised himself that he would kill the punk; the one person that actually made him flinched!

Unknown to the couple, Tsuna had heard the entire exchange; it had broken the brunet's heart to hear his new friend's past. Tsuna's intuition told him not to let it known to the couple that he had heard the argument; Lussuria was a kind person who clearly would open up about his past once he would heal his old wounds. It now made sense when Levi had said that no one was going to hurt him again when they were congratulating them on their engagement.

Back to the present, Levi smiled into the kiss as he slowly took off his clothes and laid his lover onto the couch; he pressed a few buttons on the remote to show a firewood! He wanted this to be special; to erase the horrors of hated and intolerance Lussuria had endured all his life with love and tenderness. He knew it wouldn't change much, but it couldn't hurt to try…

At Xanxus's penthouse…

The couple entered the penthouse; spent by a day of stress and worries. They had been so tired that they hadn't had sex in almost two weeks; and Xanxus was dangerously close to simply raping Tsuna… If he wasn't so tired all the damn time! For the millionth time, Xanxus cursed that Hibari-trash; both brothers were a pain in his ass!

As Xanxus let himself fall into the couch, Tsuna went on to make him a snack; even off work, Tsuna was catering to people! The writer adamantly refused for his lover to do anything else than cuddle with him; he needed some love tonight and eating one of Tsuna's delicious snack would put him to sleep faster than a lecture from his high school history teacher! Man, could the man be boring!

-You be happy to know I went to Alaude this morning! Kyoya is officially being under investigation for abuse of police resources, breaking and entering, illegal back-ground search, assault on you and Fran… I'm surprised that even with all the evidence we gave to the police, they still haven't stop the guy! Growled Xanxus, impatient and frustrated by the whole situation.

-Kyoya is Alaude's brother; first of his class at the academy and someone of high profile! They have to thread carefully. Many people in high places are under Hibari's thumb; either they're afraid of him or he has dirt on them! Xanxus... I'm so sorry for putting everyone through all of this! said Tsuna, truly feeling bad about the whole situation.

-Tsuna... You don't have to apologize for anything! It's that trash's fault; not yours! He's the one with issues; you didn't asked for anything! Come here, darling! Let me make you feel better... whispered Xanxus as he started to undo his shirt before his blushing lover's hungry eyes.

The rest of the night was filled with kisses and moans; it was a night for lovers to make their significant other happy and make them feel loved. It was how they relieved the stress of the day and helped them see a britgher tomorrow, because, who knows what the psycho-cop had in store for them?
