Yamamoto lay flat on his back the ground uncomfortably hard and cold on his back, Gokudera having woken a while ago and was now devoid of most emotion sitting with his legs stretched out in front of him, his mouth tightly closed eyes staring unblinking at the sky.
"Did you know?" the bomber asked quietly, Yamamoto perked slightly at the question and turned his head mouth open but silent before muttering
"No I… I just needed to know it wasn't just me seeing things" Gokudera looked surprised and then opened his mouth again
"What was that thing?" he asked bitterly, no doubt still sour about being controlled.
"I don't know" Yamamoto answered monotonously
"What about that bastard Hibari?" he growled, Yamamoto shrugged one shoulder before sitting up
"I don't know that either" he stated feeling a twinge of guilt when he remembered his words earlier, Gokudera grumbled incoherently and then smirked
"Well then at least we know who to get answers from" the silverette stood up and stretched turning to the taller boy
"Well come on we need to get some answers" he growled, Yamamoto grinned stupidly and nodded hopping up off the ground and brushing the dirt off his pants, the two looked at each other and then took off down the street towards the one place set in both their minds Namimori Middle.
When they reached the school they kept quiet and out of the way, not wanting to attract attention especially as the both of them had been excused from school, they walked decisively towards the Reception Room that the prefect had made his own. Luckily none of the Disciplinary Committee members were at the door meaning either Hibari wasn't there or he didn't want to be bothered by anyone at all, the two of them slid quietly inside and froze in shock.
There lying on his desk head on his arms sprawled forward snoring lightly, his… other features were still there, but they weren't nearly as worrying as they were before, his furred ears were flat on his head though the left ear flopped slightly, his tail swayed behind him like a satisfied cat the horns on his head hardly looked dangerous at all, one of his hands Yamamoto noted was black and had minute cracks in it as well as the broken bones still jutting from the broken skin that were leaking bright red blood in a little puddle underneath the slumbering carnivores head he was breathing heavily his cheeks flushed and a small wince escaped him as he slept.
Suddenly a loud hiss escaped him and his tail lashed out and swung violently his wings tightened on his back his ears perked as Gokudera gasped almost silently, then ever so slowly the ravenette lifted his head from his arm and blinked sleepy heterochromatic eyes at the two intruders, what was surprising to the two though was how… disorientated the skylark was.
Stepping forward Gokudera pointed a stick of dynamite at the tired ravenette and snarled
"What the hell are you!?" this seemed to snap Hibari out of his daze as his eyes focused on the two and he pushed himself from his desk, wincing when he put weight on his injured hand, he lifted the wounded appendage to his eye level and after a quick evaluation glanced back at the defensive silverette
"What do you want?" he sighed quietly, now that Yamamoto looked he could see dark circles under the prefects eyes the pale complexion and light rasp in his voice
"Don't play with me Hibari I'm not in the mood for this crap, what the hell are you?" Gokudera growled, Hibari looked unimpressed and turned his attention to Yamamoto
"You Yamamoto Takeshi what do you want?" he tried again, sounding almost bitter, Yamamoto turned in shock staring at the prefect who was unemotional as ever
"We want answers? Please, can you tell us what you are? And what's going on?" he pleaded, sending an imploring look at the skylark, who only scoffed a light smirk on his face his eyes glittered in amusement, before he barked
"Do you think you can handle it?... what I am that is" his face shown with dark amusement, but Yamamoto could see the different emotions hidden in those eyes; anger, fear, pain they were hidden well but Yamamoto could feel them as if they were his own emotions, squaring his shoulders and standing tall he stated
"I… don't know?" Hibari's eyes widened and his mouth opened and closed like a fishes, Gokudera snapped his head in the taller boys' direction shock written clearly on his face, Hibari slowly schooled his features, his bangs casting his eyes in shadows and stated quietly
"Fine, I'll tell you… but I doubt that you could handle it… not even he could" he whispered the last part and sat back down at his desk, a puzzled expression clear on his features
"Well first things first, the creatures that have been attacking you lately are demons" he stated matter of factly, Yamamoto took a seat at the couch and Gokudera sat on the prefects desk, ever the rebel, he seemed like he was trying not to laugh
"A demon, seriously Hibari is that what you call that, he seemed more like a homicidal cosplayer" the silverette barked, Hibari still retained his deadpan expression as his tail curled upwards and flicked along the ground his eyes seemed solemn and resigned, almost like he knew this would be the answer, but Gokudera was still talking
"I mean, at the most he was just another illusionist like that damn Mukuro" the tail that was previously swishing stopped and twitched, the ears atop the skylarks head swivelled and then flattened threateningly like an angry cat, he hissed
"Do not mention that things name here herbivore" he glared at Gokudera who only glared back twice as hard.
"The only thing I see here is you Hibari, look at yourself goddammit, you're a fucking monster" he growled back, Hibari stopped the same way he had when Yamamoto called him that earlier, and the taller ravenette couldn't help the wince of guilt that escaped him, he watched with bated breath as the ravens lips curved into a hostile smirk
"That's right I'm a monster, but I'm the only form of help you'll ever get, like it or not Gokudera Hayato but your no longer in your carefree world anymore, so wake the hell up and smell the smoke coz you're in the fire now" his smile curved higher as he added in a sneer
"If you don't you're going to get seriously burnt" Gokudera's eyes burned with hate and Yamamoto decided that he'd had enough drama for one afternoon, and could really do with some answers
"Okay now that that's over, what do you suggest we do Hibari?" the ears on the prefects head flicked curiously and his wings flexed a little before settling
"Normally I would suggest simply erasing your memories of the events-" Gokudera opened his mouth to respond but Hibari was quicker
"However I can't seeing as you both have already made quite a ruckus in the Spirit World, especially because Drenuero also knows of your existence, you are both under quite a bit of danger, therefore I suggest a contract?" he stated raising an arm, again Gokudera yelled
"A contract!? With you, y-you just told us you're a demon! And besides I thought you hated crowding an-and being tied down and s-stuff" Hibari looked a little surprised but then bowed his head a little
"Absolutely correct, I hate crowding and being tied down, however I inadvertently got both of you caught up in this, therefore I must clean up after my own mess, there is no one else to blame but myself" he bowed his head slightly, as much as an apology you'd get from Hibari ever, he stared imploringly at the two teens
"I… understand that this is sudden… however… if you don't form a contract with me… I can't keep protecting you like I have been… the whole town is in trouble… and I'm in no condition to keep fighting like I have been…" he stared balefully at his cracked arm, Yamamoto felt another swarm of guilt.
"That was my fault wasn't it?" he asked bitterly, he knew it was true that it was his fault, Hibari put his arm in that puddle thing and it burnt him, if only he wasn't there, none of this would be happening
"There is no fault but mine Yamamoto Takeshi, admittedly if you hadn't of been there then my arm would not be in this shape-" Yamamoto grit his teeth about to say something, but Hibari continued completely ignoring him
"-however I have been under no obligation to help either of you in any way, I could have left you to die but I chose not to, I knew the consequences of touching that creature" both normal teens snapped their heads up eyes widening in surprise, Hibari was taking the blame for something, Gokudera snapped out of it first
"Why in the hell are you being so… un-Hibari like?" he asked muttering the last part, Hibaris ears perked up and he tilted his head to the side a little hair fell on his face covering his inhuman eye, he looked… confused like he'd just been told that children in India are all obese.
"Define Hibari like?" he answered back, his facial features straightening out, Gokudera spluttered
"You know being all, 'I'll bite you to death' and beating people and then getting all temperamental n'stuff" Hibari frowned slightly and Yamamoto let his default smile widen a little with his nervousness, until Hibari stated matter-of-factly.
"I'm not always like that" it looked kinda like he was pouting but that's just silly, Hibari does not pout, a small flush dusted his cheeks but that was likely just his fever playing up, Hibari wobbled a little and then took a seat on the opposite couch breathing heavily, he lifted his non injured hand and rubbed circles into his temples, and then snapped his eyes open and he twisted so he could glare out the window
"I'll be back shortly… I have to deal with something" he stood and before another word was spoken he threw himself out of the open window taking to the air in the direction of the shopping district.
