Chapter 6: Pineapples, Carnivores, and Girls

Tsuna that night when Hibari fell asleep on the sofa, Tsuna called the driver that had dropped the two off earlier in the day, leaving Hibari in his recording studio.

Even if Tsuna had been exhausted because of yesterday, Tsuna still woke up early that Monday morning, to go to work. Tsuna, unlike yesterday morning, was in a foul mood. Tsuna did not even thank his mother for the meal, or listen to her when she asked him to help wash the dishes. Tsuna's mother was a little upset that her son was having a hard time at work, but a bit glad that Tsuna was acting normally. Sure, it was nice having an obedient son, but she wouldn't be a good mother if she had one. Disciplining a difficult child is a harder task than disciplining a good child.

" Goodbye Tsuna!" his mother called to Tsuna from the kitchen, as he was about to leave the house. Nana, was responded by a tired mumble. Nana giggled, Tsuna had been working hard and not getting enough sleep. Tsuna cared so much about his looks, but he was wearing his jacket backwards and there were black rings at the bottom of his eyes. My poor son, Nana thought as she finished cleaning the dishes.

Tsuna was once again picked up by the man from yesterday, who Tsuna discovered was named Aaron. Tsuna flipped through the stations. Most of the Japanese stations were playing Hibari's songs as usual. Tsuna was surprised to see that his own music was still being played, even if he quit his job. Tsuna still though, had many loyal fans, even if he stopped singing.

I'm so ready! Tsuna thought eagerly as Aaron drove closer and closer towards Hibari's house. Tsuna, would make sure Hibari would not hurt him as badly as he did yesterday. Tsuna also, bought a pair of converses which were easier to run in than his high heels he had wore yesterday.

Aaron stopped his convertible in front of Hibari's Japanese styled house. Tsuna cautiously and slowly, walked out of the convertible. Hibari sat on the front porch like yesterday drinking tea, except today, he was dressed in his normal clothes instead of his kimono and was wearing his shoes. Is he...actually listening to me? Tsuna thought in utter shock. Hibari looked up from his tea cup ( Déjà vu ) and smirked at Tsuna.

" Hey, herbivore."

" Shortie...you...listened to me?"

Hibari's smirk, turned into an annoyed scowl. Hibari's eye brows narrowed, he glared at Tsuna.

" No. I just wanted to see your stupid surprised look, herbivore."

Tsuna grinned in satisfaction. Even Tsuna could actually tame the stupid carnivore shortie.

" Well, fine you saw it. Let's just go already."

" Fine," Hibari said, following Tsuna back into the convertible. This was...not right. Hibari listened to Tsuna, without complaining or fighting back. Tsuna and Aaron, were equally surprised. Hibari...was obviously not acting right.

The car ride to Hibari's recording studio, was a quiet one. Tsuna didn't turn on the radio, but instead stole quick glances at Hibari. Last time he drove with Aaron and Tsuna, Hibari kept complaining about wanting to go to Namimori, and how he would bite Aaron and Tsuna to death. Today though, Hibari barely spoke a word. Tsuna knew something was wrong, and he was going to understand what was wrong, whether Hibari liked it or not. After driving in an awkward silence, the car finally stopped. It parked in front of the large building.

Tsuna thanked Aaron, and even Hibari thanked Aaron. Tsuna had a bad urge to ask Hibari if he had been abducted by aliens, or if he was a clone or android, Tsuna though, fought the childish urge since Hibari would most likely bite him to death if he said anything as stupid as that.

After walking through the long hallways of Hibari's record studio,the two both climbed the stairs up to the third floor in silence. Tsuna stared at Hibari the whole time, as if his life depended on it. Tsuna, being as paranoid ( or plain stupid) as ever, felt Hibari was tricking him into some, fake comfort, and stab his back if Tsuna wasn't prepared for an attack.

" Is something wrong?" Hibari asked, far calmer than he was yesterday. Hell, he did not even include, Herbivore, at the end of his sentence.

" No, it's nothing shortie." Tsuna was going to prove if Hibari was really an alien or not. Hibari always yelled at Tsuna whenever he called him shortie. If Hibari did not at least get angry, Tsuna would be ready to attack the alien that abducted the singer he was working for.

" Don't call me that," Hibari said in a firm voice. The tone though, wasn't a yell, hell, he didn't even sound angry. It was a calm voice, like a parent
would tell his five year old son, because he didn't know any better. Tsuna had finally made a decision. He was going to attack the fucking alien.

" What the hell did you do with Hibari?" Within an instant, Hibari's forehead, had once again, met Tsuna's plastic brush. Ouch. This was going to hurt like hell. Hibari stumbled from the impact, hitting the wall, and nearly falling off the stairs. Hibari growled in annoyance, holding his now aching forehead. Tsuna held his brush firmly, huffing loudly.

" You heard me alien! You murderer, what did you do to Hibari? Experimented on him? Cut him open, huh alien? Did you RAPE him?" Tsuna accused the apparent " alien" like the mentally unstable person he was.

Hibari pushed the hair off his eyes, and touched the new bump on his forehead, where the other one had been just a day ago. He growled in pain, as he touched the stinging bump. He glared at Tsuna, with eyes filled with hatred.

" First you call me a shortie...and now you're calling me a fucking alien? I REALLY need to bite you to death, you stupid herbivore."

Hibari held his metal tonfa, running towards Tsuna. Tsuna shrieked, but in a way he was relieved. At least Hibari was acting the same again.

" Ohio," Tsuna said, clinging on to Hibari shoulder. It was an odd sight, until SixDeaths and Lancia saw the state the two teenagers were in. They once again tried to kill one another, and couldn't walk if they didn't have something to support themselves. Hibari and Tsuna had been in a worse state than they were yesterday, but since they had absolutely none of the songs rehearsed, they both decided to go to rehearsal. Hibari was bleeding, but not nearly as much as Tsuna was though. I mean, it was a pretty unfair fight since Hibari had two metal tonfas while Tsuna had a small plastic brush, which seemed to be broken in half. Lancia, and the other members of SixDeaths, remembered not to piss off the teenagers again.

The only one who wasn't scared of the two teenagers, was Mukuro, who walked towards Tsuna.

" Kufufu, I'm going to have fun working with you Tsunayoshi-kun," Mukuro said. He grabbed Tsuna right hand ( the only one that was not covered in blood or bruises) and kissed it. Tsuna literally shivered. Since his brush, was now broken, he really didn't have a weapon to hit the pineapple with. Besides, Lancia would probably be angry if Tsuna hurt Mukuro, the main singer of SixDeaths.

Hibari for some, reason, could feel his anger level rise. He didn't now why really, it wasn't like he liked Tsuna or anything... He remembered this feeling though with Dino. He didn't let anyone else hurt Dino since: If anyone hurt Dino more than Hibari did, if Hibari hurt Dino anymore he would die and he wouldn't be able to beat him up the next day. Basically what Hibari was feeling was: No one touched his managers since they were his property. He was the only one who could beat them up, or touch them in general.

Mukuro, if he wasn't as fast as he was, was about to be hit by Hibari metal tonfa. " Don't touch my property," Hibari retorted. Tsuna ears twitched hearing himself being referred as property. Tsuna walked further away from the teenagers. His hands were on his hips, wearing his usual scowl.

" Don't you dare call me your property. If you even dare, you're dead," Tsuna said.

" Oh, what was that herbivore?"

" Oh, you heard me shortie."

Do these two enjoy hurting each other? Lancia thought tiredly, rubbing his temples in frustration. Lancia didn't usually like to yell, often, but Tsuna and Hibari crossed the last line. It's only been the second day of working with the two, but Lancia was already getting annoyed by the two and their constant fighting.

" BOTH OF YOU!" Lancia yelled suddenly, in his loud, deep, and intimidating voice. Tsuna and Hibari, both stop arguing and stared at Lancia, who looked in a way like a criminal rather than a businessman. " You two have been arguing nonstop." He paused for a moment, and then looked at Tsuna. " You're supposed to be his manager right? Start acting like an adult and help me instead of causing more trouble."

It was a long time since anyone's ever spoke to Tsuna like that. Not even his mother was allowed to lecture Tsuna. The only person that only did that was, his old manager Reborn. Tsuna, was a bit scared, since he hadn't been used to it.

Tsuna walked towards Lancia, and bowed his head. " You're right. I'll stop causing trouble," Tsuna said. It's as if he changed personalities in a matter of seconds. Just a while ago had Tsuna been a total brat, but here he was now, wearing the cutest smile he could muster, and being an obedient child.

Hibari glared at Lancia. If Hibari got Tsuna to be that obedient, his life might have been far easier.

" So Lancia-san what should we start with first?" Tsuna asked.

Lancia nodded. He brought out his brown clipboard, which was neatly organized. He flipped through it until he reached the third page, which had the list of songs being played at the concerts.

" Well, I want the opening act to be Sakura Addiction. It's going to be a duet with only Mukuro and Hibari."

" No," Mukuro and Hibari answered in unison. Just when Lancia thought his problems were over, Mukuro and Hibari and now not cooperating.

Tsuna though, who was actually willing to cooperate came to Lancia's aid. " Fine, then will have have Chrome and Hibari sing Setsuna no Kioku," Tsuna said. Hibari had no real problem with Chrome, she surely wasn't as bad as Mukuro, and she seemed quiet and kind. Still, Mukuro had something to complain about.

" Chrome and me always sing that," Mukuro said.

" Fine, then they'll sing Namida no Odo," Tsuna responded.

" But Chrome and I-" Mukuro said, only to be interrupted by Tsuna.

" That's an ORDER. Alright? It's either Setsuna no Kioku, which I personally prefer the two to sing more, or Namida no Odo, which I rather have you and her sing."

" Kufufu, Sawada, you're ruining our routine. Chrome and I always sing together. Besides she's far to shy to sing with anyone else besides me."

" Mukuro-sama, I want to sing with Tsuna-kun," Chrome said, as the door creaked. She bashfully came in, wearing casual clothes. She got Tsuna
off guard, if Chrome wasn't covering herself up with long sleeved clothes at every concert Tsuna's been at for SixDeaths, she was wearing Gothic lolita. He wasn't used to seeing Chrome looking so cute like a normal teenage girl. She wore a black slouchy shirt that revealed some of her left shoulder. It was a Glamour Kills shirt, which had a pink pig with white angel wings. She wore denim shorts and dark blue wedges. In her hair, were small pink hair clips that were shaped like hearts. Tsuna blushed slightly. It's been a long while since he's seen a girl as cute as Chrome.

Unfortunately, Tsuna realized how much he dressed like a girl. He looked down to see his outfit. It was pretty much Chrome's except his shirt was pink and said 'love' in silver letters, and his shoes were converse. Yes, he did buy boy clothes, but most of the clothes he bought were in the wash at the moment.

" You want to sing with me?" Tsuna asked, trying badly not to smile. Still no matter what he did, the corners of his lips kept rising in excitement. He wouldn't mind singing with Chrome, one bit.

" Yeah, I think I would be more comfortable singing with a girl."

Tsuna was shot through the heart...yet...he was extremely used to people mistaking him as a girl. Tsuna had remembered when he was still Dame-Tsuna and when Kyoko Sasagawa broke his heart. Something about Tsuna looking cuter than Kyoko or something like that. Kyoko wasn't the only one who mistook Tsuna as a girl, even some of his fans on his blog debated Tsuna's real gender.

Well excuse me Kyoko, for looking cuter than you could ever be. Now my mom and me are living in a three story mansion, bitch! Tsuna had told himself, a year ago when he had been thinking of Kyoko.

As long as Tsuna thought about that, he would be okay, and would suck up being called a girl.

" Chrome-chan, first of all...I'm a boy. Second of all, um, I recently quit, so I don't sing anymore."

Chrome nodded her head, " I know you're a boy."

" Then why did you call me a girl?"

Chrome paused, and didn't answer for while, still thinking about how to answer possibly. Finally Chrome figured out how to answer. " I'm sorry, I thought you were gay."

Twitch. Tsuna sighed, trying to release all the frustration he had at the moment. " I'm going out for a little. Chrome, Hibari, please start singing. Ken, Chikusa, MM start playing. Mukuro. Stay in place like a good boy okay?" Tsuna said as he walked out the room. He didn't want to be in there for a while, besides his stomach was growling loudly. Tsuna walked down the hallway and to the vending machine, where he planned to go get a small snack. Tsuna scowled, looking at the crumbled dollar in his pocket. After a few attempts of straightening the goddamn dollar bill, Tsuna put it in the vending machine, only for it to be spit back at him. Tsuna was far too angry to deal with this stupid vending machine. It was going to give him a bag of cookies whether it liked it or not. Tsuna kicked the vending machine, quickly shrieking afterward now feeling the stinging pain in his foot.

" Stupid ass Chrome, stupid Hibari for breaking my nose for the second time, stupid ass gay fag Mukuro...Stupid record company...Tsuna ass Reborn for not fighting back with my idiotic record company..." Tsuna's bottled up frustration was coming all out at that moment. He took his wrath out on the vending machine, " Stupid fucking vending machine who won't give me fucking cookies!" Tsuna shouted, kicking the thing as hard as he could. Tsuna had been lucky today, he hit it hard enough that the cookie actually fell off the rack it was on. Tsuna got the cookie bag and ate it triumphantly. That didn't last very long though.

" SHIT!" he could hear Ken shout all the way where he was from. Tsuna startled by the sudden scream, dropped the cookie bag on the floor. Tsuna blinked twice, trying to compute what just happened. Tsuna blinked finally realizing what was going on. Tsuna screamed the same thing, " SHIT!"

" Fucking..fuckers...are all going to fucking hell..." Tsuna mumbled, cursing out of frustration. Mukuro and Hibari had got into a fight since Chrome tripped and fell and landed on Hibari. Apparently Hibari was going to hurt or rape Chrome ( something only Mukuro would do) and hit Hibari. Hibari and him got into a fight, earth opened up, shooting out lava( God only knows what Mukuro can do) because of an apparent illusion, at least that was what Mukuro said, ( total bullshit) and they blew up the whole fucking room. Apparently the explosion was so bad it reached the hallways. That's how the teenage singers and SixDeaths's manager ended up in the infirmary, Chrome apologizing over and over until it got annoying, Hibari and Mukuro STILL fighting, and Tsuna literally crying.

" Someone shoot me!" Tsuna cried.

Chrome, in the infirmary bed, looked sadly at Tsuna.

" Tsuna-san, are you okay?" she asked.

Tsuna looked at Chrome with tears in the corners of his eyes, he sighed tiredly. " I'm sorry Chrome...but I can't handle this anymore. This is only mysecond day working with Hibari and I've already been hurt severely twice. Not only that...we can't get a single song sang without killing each other."

" Don't worry Tsunayoshi, we can do the rehearsal in the infirmary!" Chrome said, trying to reassure Tsuna.

" How?"

" Watch." Chrome, probably the only few there that could actually stand, stood in front of Tsuna's infirmary bed, and began to sing.

"Hitomi wo tojite toikaketemita itsumademo kienai yume no IKISATSU," Chrome sang the first line of Setsuna no Kioku in her high pitched and innocent voice. It was beautiful really, and perfect, it didn't miss a single beat. Hibari, from his infirmary bed stared at Tsuna, his eyes glowing with more hope. Hibari had to admit though, Tsuna was far cuter when he was crying...but for some reason Hibari didn't want Tsuna to cry anymore than he already did. Hibari figured it was because he was loud and annoying when he cried. At least, that's what Hibari convinced himself to believe.

"Kagami ni utsuru maboroshi wa tada shizuka ni kanaderu MERODII," Hibari sang the next part of the song, in his smooth and mature, voice. It was equally perfect, even if Hibari didn't even know the song that well. Hibari, luckily had a good memory.

Tsuna listened to the two sing in unison, the two voices fitting each other very well. It was a beautiful song, that at first sounded sad, but then became more hopeful. The song ended.

" Kufu, you did a wonderful job," Mukuro complimented Chrome, clapping afterward. Tsuna clapped, afterward the whole band ended up clapping (
well everyone except Ken and MM who were as stubborn as ever).

" Mukuro, can we do a duet?" MM asked, which was more like a flirt than it was a question. Mukuro chuckled.

" Of course not. Tsunayoshi and me are doing a duet right now."

" But-" Lancia had his worries, but Mukuro was too stubborn to hear any of them out.

" The next act is ' Kufufu no Fu', right? Besides it's just rehearsal. Not a big deal."

Lancia sighed. Mukuro did have a point. " Go ahead."

Tsuna honestly didn't want to sing with Mukuro, but was forced to. Mukuro sang the first two lines first, " Masaka boku ga kono te de kimi ni fureru nante ne kimi wa sono amasayue boku ni nottorareru," his voice was as deep as Hibari, but Tsuna couldn't find the right words the describe it. The song was fun, and easy to sing. His voice was, Tsuna supposed, playful, and smooth. Tsuna sang the next part of the song, in his high pitched voice, that hadn't hit puberty quite yet.

" Goran boku no ODDO AI obietaka wo mutsusuyo Aete ureshii desuyo nante betasugi desu," Tsuna sang.

Tsuna after listening carefully to the words that they were playing, realized how disturbing the words sung were. The song was about...possessing someone's body, and torturing them, at least that's what Tsuna got. Still people loved this kind of shit.

The rehearsal, unlike yesterday and the beginning of the day, ran smoothly. If they kept this up, this concert Tsuna had planned, might become a reality!

The rehearsal ended at five o'clock. SixDeaths left first. Ken was complaining about food, MM was complaining about how she got blood all over her clothes, while Mukuro was being a kufufu pineapple ( I could find no better words to describe him).

Tsuna and Hibari waited in the infirmary for Aaron who was supposed to pick them up at 6:30.

" You did good Hibari-kun."

Hibari was shocked to hear the words. First, Tsuna for once had not called him shortie, and actually listened to Hibari and called him Hibari instead of Kyoya. Second of all Tsuna just complimented him. The bitchiest manager Hibari's ever had to deal with, who has drove him off the edge, within two days.

" What's up with the sudden personality change?" Hibari asked.

" If you keep abusing a puppy, soon he'll bite back. You can abuse a dog all you want, but once in a while if he doesn't feel love, he'll attack."

Doesn't feel loved? Hibari thought, repeating Tsuna's words. He didn't understand them much, but they sounded kind.

" Now I'm being referred as a dog?"

Tsuna chuckled, " Yes, maybe, SHORTIE."

" I thought you just said dogs will bite back if they don't feel loved."

" Yes, but I just complimented you. Tell you what, I'll give you a monthly compliment."

" Monthly? Isn't that a long period of time?"

" What are you stupid? I'm not here to spoil you." Tsuna stared at his clock. It was already 6:00. Tsuna sighed, slowly getting up from his infirmary bed. Hibari was amazed he could still move after that explosion. Hibari watched as Tsuna, walked out of the room. His caramel colored hair moved slightly as he walked. Hibari had never seen this before... Why did his bitchy manager look so cute today?

For some reason...Hibari wanted the next month to happen already...

A/N: Okay guys, I know it took me a while to upload, but...I REALLY wanted to make sure this was perfect. Okay, I don't have a beta profile ( I really should get around to it) so people can't edit my work. I was embarrassed to have my stupid sister, IzzyPuff pointing out ALL my mistakes! I wanted to make sure this chapter was absolutely mistake-free. I'll be sure to go back and grammar check all my other chapters, bare with me and my bad grammar my dear readers! Dear lord is this freaking long! Okay, maybe not as long as other people's chapters, but still accomplishment! I WANT A COOKIE! Oh one more thing, before I like finally end this chapter, after chapter seven, the concert will finally come along, and I will move along to my next arc. Still debating which characters I'll introduced, but just wait, you'll see!
