They sounded insane… yeah that's about what summed up Yamamoto's thought process right at that moment, he nodded at another hasty sentence from Gokudera, only for Tsuna's look of disbelief (and awe) to deepen
"So, you're telling me, that not only do demons exist, but Hibari Kyoya my Cloud Guardian-" he stressed the 'Cloud Guardian' part and Yamamoto took note of the large sweat drop at the back of his silver haired companions head
"-is also a demon, and has not only been in several fights with other demons, but has also formed a contract with the two of you, that allows him to gain strength from either of you two's blood, as well as allow you to summon him at will with jewellery?" the Tenth finished rather lamely with a somewhat pinched look on his face, almost as if he had just licked a lemon.
Sighing Yamamoto sat back and nodded looking over to the double doors in anticipation, his eyes tracing a couple strange floating creatures, one a pale yellow rabbit with a halo and strange golden patterns that he couldn't make out at this distance, it floated without wings on an orange cloud, the other a dark purple ferret wearing what looked like a lizards skeleton as if it were armour two spindly bone wings stretched from its back however it was missing the thin membrane that bats had, instead it had nothing though it still hovered over the shiny linoleum, shaking his head he took his attention away from the curious critters and let his mind wander.
His gaze quickly stalled on a solemn looking Tsuna (no doubt mulling over the new information, as well as worrying about his injured Cloud), by his side sat Gokudera who was uncharacteristically quiet (rather than trying to cheer his boss up), the silence was getting awkward and all he wanted to do was speak if only to break the suffocating atmosphere, almost immediately after this thought another voice filled the choking silence
"Well Dame-Tsuna, what do you say?" chuckled a rather amused looking fedora wearing baby, Tsuna gave a half hearted glare to the well dressed infant and snorted before looking at the two before him once again
"For one I am certain neither of you are lying, though it is a rather hard pill to swallow" Tsuna seemed to think to himself again before he returned both of their eager gazes
"Do you have a way for me to… see these demons as well" the Rain and the Storms stares met in a quick attempt at brainstorming before Gokudera's green eyes lit up and a smile split his face
"The feather!..." he exclaimed (quite loudly, a passing nurse hushed him before disappearing behind white doors) bowing his head in embarrassment quickly afterwards and coughing into a closed fist, his eyes flashed up to Yamamoto's almost begging him to understand, and just like that Yamamoto's hand trailed to his pocket and pulled out a ruffled looking black feather, silver lining the edges and catching the bright luminescent lights on the ceiling, he ran a hand up its length trying to smooth down the ragged edges
"What type of feather is that?... it's got silver on it" blank doe brown eyes stared at the ebony feather in confusion, a tsk of annoyances and a loud yelp followed as Reborn supposedly kicked Tsuna in the head, another few seconds passed where Tsuna merely lay on the ground face down, before his embarrassment spiked and he leapt to his feet with a red face, sending confused looks in Reborns general direction
"Stupid student, I think from your subordinates' clear explanations that this isn't some common birds feather" Reborn sounded annoyed, though his face stayed almost the same, if it wasn't for the slight change in his eyes, they gained almost a look of concern (for what Yamamoto would never know), after that slight glitch in conversation, they again went over everything in the utmost detail (Yamamoto at that time realized that they still hadn't given Tsuna the feather), his thoughts were quickly destroyed by the crash quickly followed by deafening howls that broke conversation and echoed down the halls.

Hibari P.O.V:
Flashback
This wasn't right, he felt cold, he couldn't breathe, but it felt almost as if he didn't need to, as if he never needed to breathe in the first place, he could feel eyes on him and his ears perked at muffled conversation, they were talking about him he could feel their eyes slithering along his skin, it felt akin to a snake coiling around its prey ready for the kill- it stopped? The voices were slightly louder now, they sounded… excited?
That's when he noticed, his eyes, they had slipped open during his thoughts, and then all the pieces fell into place, he was cold because he was underwater that also explained the 'couldn't breathe' question, curiously he could see exceptionally well underwater. His gaze wandered around himself he was curled up in a foetal position his knees to his chest and arms holding them rather lazily, his tail curved under him positioned comfortably below his knees, and lastly his wings were tucked tight to his back, he also noticed belatedly that he was nearly naked the only thing covering him was a pair of black skin tight shorts but that didn't really bother him much, neither did the unknown number of nodes sticking to various places of uncovered skin though they accumulated the most over his forehead, however what did irk him was the blank slate when he looked back into his mind, searching blindly for anything, only to find nothing, no memories, no name, nothing.
He glanced back upwards and met the soft eyes of a spectacled man in a white coat, who had taken slow steps to the edge of the tank he had shaggy dark brown hair and hazel coloured eyes, that screamed trust and like a leech to blood he instantly attached himself to him in need of some kind of comfort, the man's face was split into a huge triumphant grin, and as if he could read his thoughts he answered
"Hibari, finally you have awakened, and your telepathy seems to be fully intact"
Hibari… Is that me, and telepathy speaking with my mind? How, since when could I do that? He tilted his head a little and the strange white coat seemed to understand his confusion, though rather than answer his smile widened ever more and it had a sort of… malicious feeling
"Would you like to come out now?" the man asked, he nodded without hesitation his tail wagging slowly, from the movements of his head and tail small air bubbles shot towards the top of his tank and gathered into a larger shimmering capsule of air. The man chuckled quietly but stopped completely when Hibari glanced back down at him his face turning stony, the shaggy man ignored his questioning gaze and turned back to more white coats, shouting some brisk orders at them.
Almost immediately he felt a drop in his stomach as the water? (after opening his mouth, he wasn't so sure about it being water anymore) he was slowly lowered to the bottom of the tank and the moment his feet touched it he collapsed his head now above the liquid his lungs filled with oxygen and he choked and gasped, hands shooting straight to his chest, clawing at the pale skin, it felt like something was moving in there, he could feel them, quickened beats as if a drum was being played inside him. Before he could do any damage however scolding hands wrapped around his wrists prying them away from reddened skin, and the next thing he knew was black

When he next awoke, he went from near black to near blind, he blinked quickly trying in vain to adjust to the too bright light above his head, when he moved his hands to rub at his eyes he quickly discerned that he couldn't move them and after a fleeting look he realised he was strapped down to a silver table, his wings were pulled taut both secured to metal beams that were grafted into the flooring, another few minutes passed in silence with him testing his bonds (he was strapped down by the ankles, thighs, waist, neck, elbows, wrists, wings and even his tail was circled by a short chain that was attached to the stainless steel table), another ten passed by as he stared listlessly upwards, ignoring the glare from the luminescent bulb and concentrating on counting each individual square that made up the too clean ceiling.
All too soon his brooding was broken by large double doors opening and closing, closing his eyes and feigning sleep he relied solely on hearing, he could make out the clicking as trolley wheels hit a small gap between the flooring tiles, and the ever present whirring as they continued in their way ignorantly, the annoying noise finally stopped when it reached directly beside him and he felt piercing eyes on his face and struggled to fake sleep any longer, the beating in his chest regained tempo when he perceived another pair of footsteps making their way over to the other side of the bed.
He cursed in his head when his left ear perked at the clanging of metal against metal, and quickly he opened his eyes and stared in horror at a pair of once soft hazel eyes, in one hand a pair of forceps, in the other a scalpel, on its reflective surface he could make out his own wide terrified eyes, he watched in silent terror as the blade was lowered towards his bare stomach and pushed on slightly crimson burst around the silver blade, instantly he screamed.
End of flashback
His eyes snapped open, only to meet a pair of curious red and blue orbs.
