As I told you guys, this scene would be very interesting. And it is. Very, very entertaining. :D
Of course, when it comes to Gokudera 'babysitting' Lambo, it's always entertaining.
Thanks to leeland88, lara gin, and meki for reviewing! And for those aside from meki that are wondering when Hibari had confessed. Well, it was when he hugged Kaia. Of course, Kaia had never hugged a boy anywhere that close to her own age.
Well, Happy Reading, everyone, and please review~! xD

"Tako-tako-tako-tako-head!!" cried an obnoxious voice. Gokudera twitched in annoyance. First of all, Kaia disappears. He had a feeling she was going to get into some trouble, and now she was lost. And now here comes the stupid cow, coming to cry to him for some bizarre reason. And then the leech latched onto its prey.
"K-K-Kaia…" Lambo took a big sniff and continued, "T-There was something s-s-scary, and L-Lambo-san ran off, b-b-b-but K-Kaia's still there and-" Anything else he said after that was incoherent, as he was bawling his eyes out. Gokudera knew for sure that Kaia was in some type of trouble now – he had to find her.
"Where exactly was Kaia when you ran off, stupid cow?!" demanded Gokudera, shaking the poor toddler off of his foot and raising him to eye level by the scruff.
"T-T-The-The p-p-p-p-paa-park…" stuttered the poor boy, and Gokudera just made Lambo cling onto him like a monkey before running in the direction of the Namimori park. He raced past the crowd and around a corner, down a few more paths, then he came to the front of the park.
"Well?! Stupid cow, exactly where were you guys?!" Gokudera growled to the bawling Lambo. He was already getting Gokudera's shirt wet, for goodness's sake…
"T-T-There…" pointed Lambo. "I want candy!! I want Kaia a-and candy!!"
"This isn't the time for candy, stupid cow!!" snapped Gokudera, rapidly approaching the bench where Kaia had been sitting at. Now, there wasn't anyone at all on the bench. The ice cream Gokudera had bought her was overturned, melted ice cream splattered across the grass. He stopped, and Lambo slid to the ground, now calm enough to not cry. But he was silent.
Gokudera cursed to himself again and again and again, non-stop in his head. She wasn't here – it was evident something happened while Lambo was running away.
"Stupid cow, you coward! You should at least protect her or something – be a man!!" Gokudera aimed a kick at Lambo again. The toddler cried out and dodged away. The Storm Guardian sighed in exasperation. This was going nowhere. He should at least tell Juudaime- no, he's not going to make Juudaime worry! He was definitely not going to make Juudaime worry about anything. Then who should he tell? He should tell Reborn then, right? He knows that Reborn has something to do with it, without a doubt. But the problem is that if he finds Reborn, he'd bump into Juudaime. Gokudera dragged Lambo off of his leg again – the toddler was bawling on him again. Gokudera thought it was weird – by now, wouldn't Lambo have shot himself with that-
And right at that moment, Lambo pulled out a grenade from his afro.
"Die, tako-head!!" he sniffed, and he chucked the heavy object in the direction of Gokudera's face, but it fell back down – on Lambo's face. Lambo cried out in pain.
"Tol-er-ate…WAHHHHH!!" Lambo burst out crying, and now he pulled out something else out of his afro – the Ten-Year Bazooka. Before Gokudera could stop him, Lambo aimed it at his head and pulled the trigger. There was a poof of pink smoke, and out of the pink haze emerged the fifteen-year-old version of Lambo.
"Ya-re, ya-re, what's it now?" yawned Lambo. He looked at Gokudera. "Eh? Gokudera-shi, what- did you upset my younger self again?" Lambo sighed. Gokudera gritted his teeth.
"Not this time. He was freaking out because Kaia's- Kaia's gone somewhere, and the younger Lambo said there was someone scary that came…" He glared at the older Lambo. "You know anything about this?" Lambo looked up and blinked.
"Didn't Kaia tell me that you've liked her for- ahh, so that was what she meant…" mumbled Lambo, nodding to himself. He sobered up a bit. Lambo frowned and looked up at Gokudera, as he was sitting down. "Kaia of…this time?"
"What else, stupid cow?!" snarled Gokudera. Lambo laughed.
"Fine, fine. I'll tell you what freaked really me out when I was little – killer intents. That's all I remember, but I hope it helps."
"K-Killer intents?! That's it?!" gaped the Storm Guardian. He raised an eyebrow in question. "You sure?" Lambo stood up.
"Yup. That's what I'm sure of," nodded the teenager. He looked Gokudera in the eye and laughed. "It feels weird to look at Gokudera-shi like this… Usually he-" Lambo stopped and paled. He knew that if he said any more, he'd probably get in trouble.
"Usually I what, stupid cow?!" yelled Gokudera, on the brink of pulling out his dynamite on Lambo. The older Lambo backed away, holding his hands out as if in surrender.
"Eheheheh, it's fine, y-you really don't have to pull those out…" chuckled Lambo. Gokudera gave him a wary look, and looked away.
"Okay, back to the subject. How the hell does being scared of killer intent help me find Kaia?!"
Lambo remained silent. Gokudera glared at him. Lambo sighed.
"I thought you were supposed to be smart…?" blinked the fifteen-year-old. He got another death-glare from Gokudera, and a chill ran down his spine. It seems that fear hadn't really gone away, and Lambo sensed that it probably wasn't a good thing.
"In case you haven't noticed, it takes time to think," said the Storm Guardian. He looked down to his feet. The ice cream was still melting in the grass. He picked it up, and showed Lambo.
"This remind you of something?" he asked. "It's not like you don't remember absolutely nothing when you were…smaller and more annoying." Lambo blinked.
"It's ice cream, Gokudera-shi. Hmm…mint ice cream…fudge…nuts…park…Namimori…five years old. Hmm…ah. I know now," smirked Lambo. "It was the first time Kaia took me out for ice cream." He beamed. "Kaia's really kind to me, like Tsuna." Gokudera's expression lit up.
"Then you really remember? Can you tell me what happened?"
"I-I really don't think I should tell you…But I do know that- wait…I'm not sure if it's the right one. Can I get more details?" sighed Lambo. "I was young that time; it's not like I remember every single detail." Lambo glanced at Gokudera.
"Well…I bought that ice cream."
"Really?" Lambo raised an eyebrow. "Then that makes it easier. Are you guys dating yet?"
"WHAT?!" burst Gokudera, beginning to get red in the face. Lambo wasn't sure if it was out of rage or out of embarrassment, but Gokudera was getting really red in the face. "What do you mean dating?! W-What kind of a question is that?!" Lambo blinked.
"Ohh. Oops, wait. Hmm, so it was after that, then. I think the Ring Battles are over, right? Yeah, I think so, if it's now…" mumbled Lambo. "Hmm. Anything weird about Kaia, right now? Anything particular about the events around her?" Gokudera glared at him.
"You aren't helping."
"Well, if five minutes are up, then you wouldn't know a thing. So I'd rather listen, okay?" smiled Lambo. He enjoyed being the boss of Gokudera, who was always bossing him around in Lambo's own time. "Again, anything particular to mention? No, that's not the thing to ask. Rather, is there anyone with a killer intent that you can easily name?"
Gokudera paused and face-palmed himself.
"Don't tell me…not again…" groaned the Storm Guardian. "Is it Hibari?"
"Well…" began Lambo. But then there was a burst of pink smoke, and he was gone. In his place was the young Lambo again, but he was not bawling. Rather, he was bubbling with happiness.
"NYAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAH!! Lambo-san conquered the world with his trusty sidekick, Neko-san!!" the toddler quickly shut his mouth when Gokudera gave him a cold stare.
"What do you mean, neko-san?!" growled Gokudera. "Come on." He grabbed Lambo by scruff again, and set off to find Reborn and Juudaime.
O0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o
*smiles*
Heh, well I liked the dating part. :D
I bet Gokudera's probably feeling a little better to hear that not only Kaia survived, but also that Gokudera actually got to date her. Heh, it'll get interesting after the Millifore Arc. Very, very, interesting. But not only after the Millifore Arc – more about the extent of Kaia's power is revealed in the Millifore Arc! As well as stuff about Kaia, etc. But that's coming up later. Not now. Sorry, to those who are impatient, but I'll get there. Eventually.
Well, thanks for reading, everyone, and please review!
Have an awesome summer break everyone!! [as well as everyone who don't have summer breaks~]
