Hey everybody, sorry for the long wait. I've been busying with testing :P. Here's chapter three. It's a little random but the good parts of the story come soon :)

Don't own, don't sueee


We went to go visit my first period English teacher. I handed her my note and she gave me some papers. She hesitantly looked at Hibari who had an apathetic look. I thanked her and quickly ran out the door with Hibari slowly following me.

Hibari immediately sat in the empty back corner. He wanted me to site in front of him, but I already had an assigned seat on the opposite side of the classroom.

As class began to fill, Hibari was unrelenting to talk to the teacher, but she seemed like she was ignoring him at the same time.

I walked over to my desk and threw my backpack on the ground. I knew I had nothing in there that was really important. I sat down and cheerfully talked to my friend, Vivian, who sat behind me. We complained about homework and immediately laughed really loudly. I looked over at Hibari, who fell asleep with no worries. I walked over and petted his head. His head was propped against his right arm. I knelt down next to his desk and stared at him, waiting for those beautiful eyes to open. I watched him sleep until a certain persons at down in front of Hibari. The long wavy brown pony tail flowed onto Hibari's desk in front as the person slid down his seat, resting his head against the back of the chair.

Long, wavy, brown hair….

I quickly stood up and walked back to my seat. I rummaged through my backpack, thinking I earlier had carelessly thrown the pictures Reborn gave me into it. Oh yeah! They were in my back pocket. I took them out and spread them across my desk, increasing my chances of finding the picture.

The one with wavy brown hair stuck out easily. His name was Sorin and he was the cloud guardian. He had hazel color eyes and in the picture he wore a loose T-shirt with headphones around his neck with his hair flying everywhere.

I looked over at Sorin. He had his headphones on and his eyes were closed. I must've never noticed him before because he was always so quiet, listening to music everyday during class.

I began to gather all my pictures. When suddenly, the boy in front of me sat down and looked straight at me. I tried to ignore him, quickly collecting the photos. I pretended to ignore his uncomfortable stare, but his stare was drilling into my forehead. I looked at the first picture in the stack and looked back up. The boy in the picture and the boy in front of me were the same. His deep brown eyes caught mine.

"Heeeey Isabella." He put on a devious smile with a bit of innocence.

"You know my name?"

"Yeah, you sat behind for a whole semester. It would kind of sad if I didn't. Do you know mine?"

"Yeah, Alex right? The boss of Dattero Di Mare, I said in my head.

"You're very cute…" I stared at him in surprise. I hoped I wasn't blushing.

"Um… thanks." I quickly looked down at the photos. I turned to put them in my backpack, feeling a little uneasy. Compliments aren't really my thing.

"Class, let's begin today's lesson…" The teacher began. AS the teacher sped through the power point, I was jotting down occasional notes, unable to keep up, so I spent most of the time doodling on my paper here and there. A note suddenly flew onto my desk from over Alex's shoulder. It was folded into tiny squares. I slowly opened it.

Wanna hang out soon?

I stared for a moment. Is he asking me to be closer to him? It's like he's trying to make my job easier. But Alex isn't really the person I should be getting close to, Tsuna is. I wrote down:

Um… but I barely know you…

I took the note and threw it back over his shoulder. He took some time to scribble something down. I took this time to look at Hibari. I expected him to be sleeping still. But instead he was glaring straight over here. Is he suspicious of Alex's actions? I couldn't' tell if his eyes were on me or at Alex. Either way… he was pissed. The note came fluttering back on my desk. I reopened it.

Yes I know. So let's take this opportunity to get to know each other. I'll bring my friends and you can bring yours.

I thought about it for a moment. Yes, this could be a chance to bring everyone together. But what if the Vongola members get mad? Especially Hibari… I shook my head at that thought. I'll talk to them first, if I ever get the chance. I quickly scribbled down:

I'll ask permission first from my mom and my friends if they want to go.

I returned the note, placing it on his shoulder. He grabbed the note, lightly touching my fingers. He suddenly shivered. I retracted my hand. I felt that shiver travel my body while he looked from side to side and then at me. I gave him a blank, clueless look. He shrugged his shoulder and turned to reply the note.

"And that is how acids and bases work…" Oops, I missed today's entire lecture. Eh, but that won't be a problem, I'll copy someone's notes later.

-DING- -DING- -DING-

Hibari walked over and stood next to me as I collected my belongings. I zipped up my backpack and threw it over my shoulder. Just as I was about to walk away, Hibari handed me the note.

"Oh, thank you," I said. I took the note.

"No problem," he smiled. He walked towards the door, almost in a skipping manner all the way there. Hibari and I just stared at him as he did, our eyes following him as if we just saw a naked boy walk down the hall. You can imagine our expressions. "I'll see you in fourth period!" he yelled before disappearing from sight. I had fourth period with him?

A pencil was suddenly sent flying at the door at full speed nearly hitting Alex. I looked over at Hibari who was holding another perfectly sharpened pencil. I took the pencil away from him and laughed.
"That was a good throw," I took his arm in mines. "But no more for now, we're in school. Let's go, ok?" We strolled out the door with Hibari glaring at passing people. It was completely silent between us.

"He touched you didn't he?" Hibari suddenly sneered in a quiet voice. I looked up at him.

"Huh?"

"He touched you didn't he?" He grabbed my right hand and pushed me into the wall. People passing by were either ignoring the situation or staring with great interest.

"Yes," I replied calmly. "But it was barely anything. Don't worry about it. It wasn't even actual contact." I took my free hand and brushed it across his cheeks. He closed his eyes, resting his forehead against the wall above me. I took this chance to pinch his nose. He immediately opened his eyes and whacked me in the head with his fist.

"Ow~…." I rubbed my head; tears gathering at the corner of my eyes. Hibari took his sleeve of his jacket and wiped my eyes with a little force. From his immediate action, it must have been a reflex to hit people after they touch him.

"You're too carefree," he said in a stern voice. He huffed and pinched both of my cheeks.

"I know."

"You should be more careful, Herbivore." He petted my head. He began walking ahead, just like this morning. As I watched his threatening figure walk down the hall, I just stood there and thought about how much I like him. I do like him… a lot.

He suddenly turned around and looked at me, captivating me with his eyes. "You coming?" he said softly. I was so into my realization I didn't notice that he was already many feet away. I wanted to test him. I crossed my arms and looked away, pouting. I wanted him to come towards me. I was trying to see if he would react in some way. Sadly, he didn't. He just stood there and looked at me like I was stupid. He was waiting for me to run there myself. I decided to let him win this one. I ran over nearly tackling him as retaliation to his fists from earlier. Luckily his weight held him down and saved him from toppling over. I wrapped my arms around him and looked up at his face. He gave me a small weak smile and brushed my bangs out of my face.

"Finally herbivore, let's go." I released my grasp on his hand and took his hand.

"Okay." And we slowly followed the crowd to my next class. Right about then I felt that he's just taking care of me as part of his job and nothing more.


Throughout the day, I was able to identify most of the guardians in my classes. Mist, the short, beautiful, blond mist guardian was in my PE class. She had the most beautiful figure for a girl who was five foot two. She had the shape of an hour glass and breasts perfect for her size. Her body seemed really fit, for she participated 100% in PE everyday. Her dark blue, almost turquoise, eyes complimented her short blond hair. She had an average size mole under her left eye, which was actually really noticeable to the naked eye. I never really paid attention to her, before she was just another classmate on your team in sports.

Daisuke, the rain guardian, was in my chemistry class, who I accidentally missed and never noticed. Just like Sorin, he wasn't really noticeable. He had shaggy light blue hair and was one among few who do. His eyes were a mixture of a purple and blank shade, sometimes hiding his pupil. He wore a necklace which hung three small crystals. Sometimes when he stands up from his seat, they shine a bright light blue sparkle. What I noticed about him was he always carries around a bag of milk candies in his backpack. I remember earlier in the year, he offered me one before our teacher handed us our tests. His personality seemed as sweet as those milk candies.

The loud mouth thunder guardian, Zero, was in my computer science class, arguing away with the teacher everyday. He wasn't too hard to recognize. His spiky black hair stood up naturally, probably with some help from gel. Both ears were pierced with golden studs, two on each ear to be precise. Never had he won an argument against a teacher, but was reasonable when it came to debates. His dark brown eyes always glared at people, just like Hibari's. But to me, I think his eyes were hiding something.

The playful Django in my world history class was the bright sun guardian. I have never seen him NOT smile. His positive spirit always made the class laugh and smile. His spiky orange-brown hair was messy and kind of long for a boy, just long enough for it to droop down.

Finally, Nick the storm guardian in my algebra two class always seemed to be so alert. He sat in the corner of the room. He always held an orange pencil, which matched the tips of his hair. The roots of his hair were a dark expressive blue, and from far away looked kind of black.

Sorin and his quiet self was actually in three of my classes. His headphones were always on but the teachers never bothered to take up his music player. Maybe he had some kind of influence on the teachers too?

Alex had the most classes shared with me, aside from Hibari. Alex had an upbeat personality but a girly aura. Girly auras must not be judged wrong. He had two strands of long hair extensions which looked pretty real if you ask me. The rest of his light blond-brown hair was shorter than Mist's but a little longer than Django's.

Every single one of the guardians in Dattero di Mare was in my Spanish class. Hopefully tomorrow when the Vongola members arrive, they won't have this class together.


Hibari led me through the crowds, dragging me towards the back door of the school.

"Hibari, where are we going this way?" I asked.

"I didn't ride the bus here." He replied in a low voice.

"Wait, what?" He didn't reply afterwards. He just dragged me through the parking lot without a word.

I was expecting him to bring me to a car, a brand new sedan of some sort. But to my surprise, we reached to the end of the large parking lot and stood in front of a motorcycle, complete brand new. He took out two helmets and handed me one.

"You expect me to ride that?"

"Do you want to ride the bus home?"

"… No…"

"Then hurry and get on herbivore." I sighed and slipped on the helmet.

"Fine," I pouted. Hibari got on and kicked up the stand. He started the motorcycle as I got on. I hung onto him tightly with my own backpack hugging me for dear life.

Hibari quickly sped out the parking lot, nearly running over a few people. We left school property unnoticed by the school police and immediately entered the highway.

I pointed the directions for my house to Hibari, clinging onto his waist with my other arm and mentally screaming with adrenaline filled joy. I couldn't tell if my heart was pumping fast because of the speed of the wind through my hair, scaring the hell out of me, or the heat of Hibari's back transferring through my arms. I wondered if his heart could beat fast because of me. I couldn't tell due to my helmet. But I wish I could test it. Maybe soon…

Has my love reached you yet?
