The next day he was also a little distracted, his dad said he was acting very strangely, I mean he actually got up in the morning, he was about three steps out of the house when he remembered he left his baseball jacket in his room, quickly running back inside he grabbed it slipping his arms through the sleeves and placing his hands in the pockets, eyes widening he gripped what was inside and pulled it out, looking intently at the black feather, shivering a little he placed it back in the pocket and kept walking pretending he had never seen it in the first place, although he was slightly surprised that he hadn't simply thrown it away, as he was walking however he started seeing things differently people looked… not like people, a woman carrying a bag of shopping was smiling at him but her teeth… her teeth were sharp like a sharks and her eyes were black there was no white in them at all, not even colour no irises, ignoring the sight he kept walking gulping nervously trying to seem as normal as possible, ahead of him he saw a head of silver hair… Gokudera!

Jogging he caught up with the silverette bomber, green irises slid over to him in surprise.

"What the hell happened to you baseball idiot?" Yamamoto was surprised couldn't he see what was going on around him! Was he blind or something… and then realization hit him, the feather! He almost growled in uncharacteristic irritation, quickly containing himself he glanced tentatively at his friend

"Hey Gokudera… um would you do me a favour?" he asked nervously, the bomber looked at him curiously no doubt surprised at his hesitant tone

"What do you want?" he asked sounding irked, Yamamoto let a trickle of uneasiness get to him, should he tell him, should he get Gokudera to hold the feather and maybe see what he sees, he wanted to say no he really did but what else could he do, he needed someone to tell him he wasn't crazy he wasn't insane, but how would Hibari react, would he be mad that his secret was out, but he really wanted to tell someone, he needed confirmation coz he was seriously gonna lose it soon, taking a deep steadying breath he sighed.

"Could you hold this for a bit and tell me what you see?" he clenched the feather between tan fingers, Gokudera looked sparingly at the feather and swiped it from the loosened grip, Yamamoto looked at his face for any signs of distress but the silverette was only staring at the plume with wide eyes, he glanced up at the taller boy.

"What bird did this come from!? It's huge!" he yelled his face full of unease, much to Yamamoto's surprise the emerald irises slid over his shoulder and quickly filled with apprehension

"Hey… Gokudera? What's up?" Yamamoto turned his head, quickly noticing the dark eyes staring at him with… hunger?

"Um can I help you?" he asked uncertainly, the eyes watching him narrowed into a glare the man was wearing a tight half shirt that revealed his toned stomach he was wearing baggy pants and knee high white boots, twisting around his torso was a long fragmented tribal centipede tattoo the tattoo reached under the shirt reappearing on his left cheek the centipedes pincers were around one angry red eye while the other eye was free, the man's hair was a silvery grey and framed his face, atop the man's grey bangs were two large black horns behind him were tattered black bat wings, the man let a wicked smirk take his face sharp shark like teeth grinned menacingly at him what was worse was that no one else was on the street anymore, stepping back feeling highly intimidated he bumped into Gokudera who was still bound to the spot.

Turning he looked at Gokudera, only to reel back in shock at the blank stare directed at him, it looked like his whole reason for living had just been stripped from him whirling back to glare at the man, he watched as the man raised a pale hand and cocked a black claw tipped finger at him, shaking his head back and forth he readied his stance and mentally cursed at himself, I can't believe I forgot Shigure Kintoki! Idiot this guy looks like serious trouble, the dark red eyes seemed to brighten suddenly in amusement, movement to the side caught Yamamoto's amber gaze as Gokudera obediently trudged towards the man, Yamamoto tried reaching for him to pull him back but couldn't, his legs were frozen in place and as much as he willed them to even twitch they wouldn't.

Gokudera was about two meters from the man now, the creature put a hand out and the bomber complied lifting his arm he nearly closed the distance when suddenly the man's smirk grew as a large shadow appeared overhead and a dark figure smashed into the pavement between the two, dust quickly engulfed all three of them, before he saw a human shape come flying from the murky air and smash straight into him, quickly he fell to the ground winded and confused, feeling a weight on him he looked down and saw Gokudera out cold lying on him.

He whipped his head up, the dust had cleared, the grey haired mans outstretched arm was being held tightly at the wrist by a black clawed hand that appeared to have black burn marks on it the burns reached to the elbow and seemed to be trying to spread further but couldn't, following the length of the limb the skin slowly got paler, his eyes stopped when they reached the face of Hibari Kyouya although he can't say he was all that surprised, I mean who else protects the peace in Namimori.

"Leave Drenuero, you know this is my domain" his eyes narrowed and the bi-coloured irises seemed to glow beneath his low hanging bangs, the other mans smirk widened his eyes glinted in amusement as Hibari's tail lashed angrily behind him, leaning forward towards Hibari's furred ear he whispered huskily.

"I knew you would show up eventually, my little birdie" Hibari's eyes flashed as he tightened his grip on the others wrist and snarled, his pointed fangs snapping at the others tattooed face before closing in a tight line, his wings fluttered like a disgruntled pigeon, he opened his mouth slowly

"Kamikorosu" he muttered, and to Yamamoto's surprise he released the wrist in his grip, and to his expectations balled the blackened hand into a fist and swung it directly at Drenuero's head to Yamamoto's further surprise the fist was caught and stopped way too easily

"Now, now cute little birdie don't be stubborn" he steadily tightened his grip on the closed fist, Hibari grit his teeth

"I really want to see your face twist in agony" the man uttered darkly, a loud crunch filled the tense silence, and Yamamoto stared horror stricken as Hibari's face twitched slightly as his now limp bloody hand fell to his side the bones in the appendage jutted out of the already blackened skin and leaked the bright red liquid, Drenuero pouted a little at the nearly nonexistent reaction

"Well that was boring, I guess I really will be going now little birdie, ~ta~ta~" he sing- songed as the shadows behind him lurched upwards and swallowed him whole, then as if nothing had happened at all the shadows returned to their original shape and stayed unmoving like normal.

At Drenuero's disappearance Hibari turned towards the two immobile teens and swiftly made his way to them, he crouched about a foot from Yamamoto and slowly lifted a hand towards Gokudera, who was still thankfully passed out, snapping out of his daze Yamamoto pulled Gokudera closer trying to protect his best friend as best he could, opening his mouth he roared

"Don't touch us! Stay back you monster!" instantly he felt regret for what he said but he couldn't find his words, as the smaller ravenettes mismatched eyes widened, his outstretched hand jerked and slowly pulled back, slight sadness filled his expression before it was swallowed up by resigned indifference, his tail stopped moving completely as he stood back up, he finished his examination with his eyes, satisfied neither was harmed he spoke

"Go home, I'll excuse both of you from school today" and before the baseball player could retort, the prefect shot off his feet and into the sky with one flap of his wings, leaving Yamamoto full of regret.
