A/N
I'm sorry for updating later than I usually do~ My chapters are getting really inconsistent right now. So once again, because of some changes I made to the draft of the last chapter, I had to re-write this one many times, and only got through half of it in a week (and a bit). So both this update and the next are going to be very short, sorry ^.^" Oh and I realised that today is exactly one month since I posted this ff~
Anyhow, thanks a bunch to those people who reviewed/favourited/followed my work~ *hands out... ummm...marshmallows* to those who don't like marshmallows, you can have chocolate instead :)
Chapter 5- Mission, what do you first think of when I say the word "cycle"?
"Eh... About that Reborn, I have ummm... a very important ummm... class meeting today..." I lied. It's obvious Reborn would see through that, especially when I'm such a bad liar.
"Miyuki, you will start off with ten laps around Namimori." Reborn continued, paying no attention whatsoever to my 'explanations'.
"But..."
"No buts, or else." The acrobaleno cut in firmly, setting his finger under Leon for the chameleon to climb onto his hand. The small animal soon moulded into a small, green hand gun, which was positioned to point right in front of my head. "Okay, I get it." I gave in, not willing to take the risk to compete who's faster. Me or a bullet barely a metre away.
I slumped onto the school building tiredly, panting for breath. Hitman or not, running laps around the whole town is not in the slightest amusing, or easy for that fact too. I only managed six before giving up, I mean Reborn wouldn't mind if I tuned out a bit for a break... right? Fortunately, I was just in time when the recess bell rang so blending in with the crowd that started to pour out of the classrooms wasn't that hard of a thing to do.
Slowly, I made my way into the building, sneaking looks at every corner as I go, in case Reborn decided to suddenly pop out from one of his "secret bases" within the school. Just as I was a corridor from the classroom, I turned a corner and bumped into something that made a noise that sounded suspiciously like a low grunt. Massaging my head slightly, I looked at where I bumped to and my vision met a raven haired prefect. I have great luck don't I?
"Oh. It's you again..." I muttered dryly, stepping away while eyeing his jacket carefully, just in case those tonfas pop out of nowhere again. He didn't seem to be especially thrilled to see me neither, "What are you doing outside of class during school hours, herbivore? I'll bite you to death."
"What do you call people lower than an herbivore then? A plant or something? I need to ask your science teacher what you have been learning these days." I tested Hibari's mood. A sign of annoyance appeared in his eyes for a fraction of a millisecond before retaining its narrowed steel like qualities that showed a dangerous glint. One where you would see when a predator is about to attack its prey, proving that it was not the best day to mess with him. However, as usual, Reborn seem to have great timing doesn't he?
"Ciaossu. How are you doing Miyuki? I can see you haven't finished your ten laps yet." A catch in the ceiling opened and a potable room slid out with Reborn resting cosily in there, again with his Espresso. "Maybe you need a little push like no-good Tsuna always do."
"What does it look like? I'm obviously doing great." I said sarcastically. It normally won't be like me to use sarcasm but I really don't have time for a chit chat with Reborn right now.
Horrified, I suddenly figured out what Reborn meant behind "a little push" and my eyes snapped straight back to where Reborn was. Almost unbelievingly, I noticed that Reborn held out a lighted match beside the fire sprinkler located directly above Hibari's head. But all was too late.
Stunned, I watched as a spray of water broke down around Hibari and splattered onto my uniform, wetting the section of the hallway. After the liquid finally stopped flying everywhere, a drenched skylark stood in front of me, looking more pissed than ever and dripping wet. Uh...I think Reborn just added a tank of fuel to the fire with that. The water flattened his black hair against his head as his clean white shirt began to stick to his body, soaked with water. A skylark in the "rain" was a rare sight. I felt a small tingling feeling in my skin as I began to move forward, wanting to brush away the stray strand of hair that landed in his eye, wanting to get closer. I hesitated midway as I noticed how the water dripped down his face, making him look so sad. Right now, I only wanted to apologise. I was suddenly brought to reality from my short daze by a stainless steel tonfa which collided right onto my cheeks. Hibari was skylark, but he was also a carnivore.
"Hey, hey... Calm down...take a deep breathe and let it out. Now get a change of clothes." I spluttered before he could snap, backing away even further. However, that clearly didn't work. Before another slopping wet tonfa could be connected to my face, I turned around and made a run for it. Not around the school, but around the whole town. Reborn must have realized that this would work magically well, because now I'm running at twice the speed I was before. I think I get what life is a cycle means now.
I just felt like adding that in... poor Hibari... D: *apologizes to Hibari while being bitten to death*
Change: Oh, and I did add the description in since my friend thinks that it needs more... moments... after reading it. She gave me a paragraph of description to work on so that credit goes to her~ :D Maybe it did go a little further than I would have liked but a bit of push is fine right?
And to answer some thought you guys might have in your mind right now, yes, Hibari might be sick in the next chap but Miyuki is NOT going to take care of him, that is just a bit too cliche for my liking~
Any reviews peoples would like to donate?
