Ryu- Hello readers, heres another update from me.

Black Dragon- You're not going to tell them about the science fair?

Ryu- It's been moved to the 30th .

HikariNoTenshi-San – You are really close. As a reward, I'll give you a hint as to what will happen in the end. Think "Spring". Hehe, hopefully you'll figure it out.

Tsuki no Akebono – I'm glad it entertains thou.

yuki-nekolin – You can just type "Wolf rankings", or something similar to that, and no, I did not pour water on my keyboard, though it would have given me a great excuse to get a new one. This keyboard is older than my computer.

Anna – I know that, but in that chapter, it was in Tsuna's pack's point of view. Before, they didn't know what weapons Hibari had. So I made it realistic, instead of just saying "tonfas".

-Shiroix3 – Yeah, I thought it would just wash away, but anyway, yes, I did try to get it as close as possible, but there were some problems, ie Gola Mosca.

wind-master-redmoon – Apparently, he is named that because the roman numeral for 10 is X.


The Winner

Xanxus had just a few moments to think when he was tackled. Before he could recover, Tsuna had bitten down on his leg, but since Tsuna was bigger now, he couldn't shake him off. So in this part of the battle, Tsuna seemed to have an advantage. So the battle wore on, and as it did, a voice spoke in Tsuna's head.

His spirit is tiring.

Then Tsuna remembered something that he had learned from Dragon. 'The flames are spirits of animals, and animals need to be cared for, but it looks like he's just abusing his spirit.' Tsuna thought.

So when Tsuna looked closer at the flames on Xanxus' head, he noticed that it was flickering violently, like it was in pain.

As Tsuna began attacking, it dawned on him how Xanxus was using his flame.

'You can get a animal to do what you want by either being nice to it, or being mean to it.'

So Tsuna began forming up a plan as the two battled. It was then Tsuna remembered another thing. One from the textbook he had read.

'Some people are heavily influenced by their instincts, but those who can control them are able to fully morph, but judging by how this person is using his flame, I doubt he has any control at all. So I can do what I planned. Hopefully, this can't be counted as a kiss, or Hibari will be very angry' Tsuna thought.

So when Xanxus was in the right position, Tsuna went up to him and licked Xanxus across the face. At first, nothing happened, but then Xanxus went back to his human form.

Tsuna then saw a man around his late twenties with marks on his face.

"W-what t-the heck was that f-for?!" Xanxus shouted. Tsuna could clearly see he was blushing.

Tsuna merely watched as Xanxus tried to get his wolf from back, but failed. So Tsuna deemed it safe as he swiveled his his ears in the general direction of his pack members. It sounded like they were almost done.

But Tsuna had to focus back on his battle as Xanxus suddenly charged. Though, Tsuna was able to easily dodge. So Xanxus stumbled and when he was on the ground, Tsuna merely sat on him.

"Hey, get off me you runt!" Xanxus yelled. It seemed his shout caught the attention of everyone as the fighting had stopped.

"Ushishishi. It seems like you got the bottom, end of the stick." The mink said. "Shut up and fight!" Xanxus yelled.

Though as Xanxus' pack was distracted, everyone took the chance to land the final blow, knocking all of them out.

"You don't really have an organized pack." Tsuna said. "Shut up!" Xanxus yelled as he struggled. Then Dragon suddenly appeared.

"Well Mr. X, you've lost you challenge, so now you have to join your pack with Tsuna's." Black Dragon said. "Like Hell I would!" Xanxus yelled. "It doesn't matter, your pack, actually, Timoteo's pack was eventually going to be merged with Tsuna's pack." Reborn said as he suddenly appeared.

"What, I didn't hear anything from the old man!" Xanxus shouted. "Maybe because you're not a very good listener." White Dragon said as she began poking Xanxus.

"Hey, quit it!" Xanxus shouted. Thinking it was safe to let Xanxus go, Tsuna got of of him. Though when Xanxus got free, he immediately went for Tsuna, though he was stopped by one word.

"Sit." Tsuna said. "You think I would li-" Xanxus said before he found himself listening to the command.

"The pack leader is able to control others' flames, meaning, he can tell your animal side what to do if you can't control your instincts. You wouldn't have made a very good pack leader if you can't even control your own instincts." Black Dragon said.

So now that it was truly safe, Tsuna mentally let go of the wolf in his mind and changed back into his human form.

"By the way, that lick is equivalent to that of a kiss." White Dragon said. "What! Well, at least Hibari-san didn't see it." Tsuna said.

"I may not have seen it, but I heard." Hibari said. "Uh, it was the only way." Tsuna said. "Hmph, I'm not going to bite you to death, I'll bite him." Hibari said as he charged.

"Ah, Hibari-san stop!" Tsuna shouted, but Hibari did not listen. "Because Hibari is in control of his instincts, you can't control his animal." Black Dragon said. "Then do something." Tsuna said. "They are your pack members, you do something." Reborn said.

So Tsuna began to think. What would be enough to stop Hibari when he is biting someone to death. It's not a kiss, that's what Hibari is angry about, so.

"Kyoya, please stop." Tsuna said. This got immediate results. Hibari stopped and turned around.

"I guess I'll let it slide." Hibari said as he walked to Tsuna and picked him up bridal style.

"He's mine." Hibari said to Xanxus, and then left with Tsuna.

"Tch. Like I care." Xanxus said. "You're blushing" White Dragon said in a teasing voice.

"Grr, I'll kill you!" Xanxus said as he charged. Dragon just stood there until Xanxus got close enough. Then she poked, er, punched Xanxus in the neck. Which left him unconscious one the ground.

"I guess I'll clean things up a bit." Black Dragon said as she walked away.

-TBC-


Ryu- Well, I hoped you enjoyed this chapter.

White Dragon- It had many reminders in it.

Ryu- Yes, that's to make things easier to understand. Before, since not that information was given in the beginning, many were confused.

White Dragon- Any way, now that, that's done, the important part of the plot will now start.

Ryu- Guesses are allowed.
