... Honestly, I don't know what to say much about this chapter........

Dino and Dante... Strange pairing I know, but I find it amusing. So bleh.

Thanks for reviewing, even for the extremely strange chapters! I hope you all continue to do so! :D

"I can't really walk properly anymore," I murmured while taking a step forward. My legs ached once again. My bag was kind of heavy, so it didn't help much.

"Sorry," Dino said.

I said nothing and continued to walk forward, using him for support. It surprised me to see Hibari and the others already there. When we arrived, I felt some strange atmosphere… I pushed that feeling aside for a moment to notice that Tsuna wasn't part of the group. That's strange.

I blinked. Hibari was walking towards us.

"Kyouya!" Dino said with a grin. I just nodded at him. He didn't respond and continued walking. I looked him in the eye for a moment…

"Hibari-san?" I asked.

BAM!

I cried out as I was smacked in the face and knocked backwards in the gut.

"Dante!" Dino exclaimed in surprise.

"Asakura-san!" I heard the others in the group shout.

I gritted my teeth and lifted my head to look at Hibari. He walked over and kicked me, hard. I held my head to protect it from any blows that he'd send. He was finally held back by the others and I lay on the ground trembling. I looked up at him with confused and pained eyes.

"All those men, Sensei, Rokudo Mukuro, now the idiot bronco," Hibari growled. "How many more?"

My eyes widened. Everyone looked at him confused or in shock. He threw the people holding him back off of him and walked over to me. He reached down and grabbed my hair and pulled it up so our faces were close, I winced in pain.

"K-Kyouya!" Dino shouted.

"What the hell does that bastard think he's doing!?" More voices. My mind focused on Hibari, not even on the pain all over my body.

"Hi… Hibari… san…?" I asked. He glared at me, a frown on his lips.

"One after another," He said darkly. "How many do you plan to provoke me with? Tempting, alluring, trapping. I won't be wrapped around your little finger." He looked dead in the eyes, our faces almost touching. I could feel his breath on my face. "You'll be wrapped around mine."

I winced as he bit the bridge of my nose. I was thrown onto the ground.

"Dante!"

I sat up shaking, holding my nose in my hands. Hibari turned around and walked to the Cloud Ground. A lot of people were looking at him uneasily.

"He attacked his family member? How violent," I heard someone say.

"Dante, we should check out those wounds," Dino said, putting a hand on my shoulder. I shook my head.

"I want… To watch this," I told him. He looked at me surprised but granted my request. The entire Cloud Ground was like a battle field, Gatling guns and all. I was hardly pay attention, but there was something about Tsuna not being here and Hibari being the family's Ace, which caused the Varia's boss, (Xanxus was it?) to burst out laughing.

I was move to a supposedly 'safer' location. I was currently seated beside Chrome on the grass.

"Are you sure you're alright?" She asked me. I nodded.

"I really… Want to watch this," I said once again. She looked at me strangely for a moment. She was probably wondering why I'd want to watch a battle so badly. I think she thought I wanted to see Hibari get beat, but it was nothing like that.

"The Cloud ring Gola Mosca vs Hibari Kyouya. Begin the Battle!" One of those women said. I think they're called Cervello…

Just when she said that, the Gola Mosca took off flying straight towards Hibari. My eyes were wide as I watched Hibari take down the Gola Mosca in only one hit.

"Uwah… A- Amazing," I said with my jaw looking as if it were unhinged. My hand rose to my nose and my fingers brushed against the area where Hibari had bit me. I exhaled softly and then continued to watch the battle. Apparently, Hibari had called out Xanxus and the two were now fighting. Gola Mosca exploded. I watched as the two began to fight each other…

It only took me a few seconds to comprehend what was going on. The Gola Mosca was going berserk. I was grabbed and dragged along by Chrome, who was having trouble avoiding the explosions. I was in tow and while still being injured, was more of a burden.

"C-Chrome-san," I managed to say while running. "You should run ahead of me..."

"I can't do that, Dante-sama!" She shouted back me. My mind froze for a moment. SAMA!?

I couldn't respond because we have seemed to have wandered into the field. Shit. I don't think we'll be able to evade an explosion! My doubt was knocked out of me, literally, when I found myself forced onto the ground.

"Chikusa… Ken…!" Chrome exclaimed. Mukuro's companions?

"Geez. Can't your eyes off of her for a second," Ken grumbled. "Even dragging the bitch into danger too. The idiot."

My eyes widened as the Gola Mosca could be seen through the smoke and flames. It aimed it's gun at us four. They forced me to take cover with them, burying our faces into the ground.

Someone come save us! Hibari, Mukuro, Dino, Tsuna, anyone!

It seems like my prayer was answered when Tsuna appeared and blocked the missile. I sat up while he stood before us. It was amazing to watch Tsuna defeat the Gola Mosca. I don't even think he broke a sweat… and here it thought he'd always be no-good Tsuna.

However, to everyone's shock, an old man fell out of the robot.

"The 9th boss!?"

"It likes like the 9th boss was forced to be the Gola Mosca's power source," Reborn said with dark voice. My eyes widened. Whoa. That's like… taking extreme to a whole new level. I watched as the injured man, the 9th, spoke with Tsuna. His last words…? My fingers twitched. Something felt weird… When I look at that man's face… It was like… déjà vu. I saw Chrome look at me from the corner of my eye, but I paid little attention.

I'm not sure what it was, maybe it was reflex or something, but my body reacted by itself when they declared that Tsuna's will was their own… It struck me as déjà vu again. My Kusarigama were flung and spun in the air and then I caught them easily in my hand and was in a ready stance. The Cervello women said that they would be in charge of the battle for the revenge. The sky ring battle? My arms dropped to my side, still gripping my Kusarigama.

I stared at Tsuna standing alone, silently, by himself. I blinked as he was kicked in the back by Reborn. I sighed and looked over to my left.

"Dante," Dino said, walking over. He seemed to frown at my weapons in my hands. "You shouldn't be wielding weapons…"

"It's none of your business," I grunted at him. I put my Kusarigama away in my bag and turned to leave. I only managed to take one step before my wrist was grabbed and I was pulled into an embrace. He was holding me tightly, I somehow felt more secure in his arms than many others I've been held in. Maybe it's just because those men were just after sex. I sighed and inhaled Dino's scent. He smelled nice. I buried my face into the warmth of his coat and he stroked my hair.

"Don't worry, I said I'd help you forget," He murmured, nesting his chin atop of my head. I frowned.

Herbivore.

Somehow… My heart ached when thinking of that. I pushed Dino away and look at him darkly in the eye.

"That was a one night thingy, and one night only. Think of it as a One-Night-Stand or something. I'd rather not make you one of my clients."

Dino frowned at me. A displeased one.

"I never said I was going to be one. I said I'd help you forget, and I plan on doing just that," He said to me, taking hold of me once again. "Don't think of anything except me now. Got it?"

I was pulled up for a deep, passionate kiss. I kept stiff as he pressed his lips against mine. I didn't glance over, but out of the corner of my eye, I saw Hibari watching us. My eyes went downcast as I felt a pang in my chest. I sighed and kissed Dino back.

It's impossible to just think of you when I can't get someone else out of my head.
