Ciao, friends! I'm sorry, but the Pokemon event will be moved to the next chapter since I decided to do a birthday special for Hibari. I know, it's a little late for that, but it's because I was quite busy the past few days.

So...a Happy Belated Birthday to Hibari Kyoya!

I do not own Katekyo Hitman Reborn~!

Enjoy!


6th Drink - Happy Birthday, Hibari?

Author's Room~

I happily typed away at my laptop, elated that I had a good idea of what I wanted to do. However, there was one little problem.

Every once in a while, I would steal a glance at the DS lounging tauntingly on the swivel chair I acquired from an internet cafe we used to own. I felt my eye twitch.

Stupid temptation to continue...

I face my laptop once again, and just then did I realize the date and its significance.

May Fifth.

Hibari Kyoya's birthday.

I moved my laptop aside, and started head-desking at the fact that I only realized such a thing just then. And then I realized that I also forgot that the day before was Star Wars Day, and continued to head-desk even more vigorously.

I then decided to go downstairs, grabbed some sake, and went back upstairs.

HOW COULD I FORGET SOMETHING AS SIGNIFICANT AS THE BIRTHDAY OF VONGOLA'S STRONGEST GUARDIAN?!

I proceeded to drink my sorrows away.

Like that ever helps.


Somewhere in Screwed-up Dreamland~

Hibari walked in the darkness warily, on the alert for anything that may jump out at him. After all, he was there for one thing, and one thing only, and considering the person concerning it, any crazy thing could happen to him.

"I see you decided to accept my little invitation." The darkness cracked, and Hibari could slowly make out the figure of yours truly.

"Author herbivore. What did you call me here for?" He demanded. "Aren't you supposed to finish that strange Pokemon event?"

"I'm moving it for the next chapter. Didn't you read the author's note?" I moved a few steps closer to him. "As for why I've called you here, well, I wanted to do something."

I threw some confetti in front of him. "Happy Birthday, Hibari Kyoya!" I declared. His eye twitched the slightest bit.

"Is that all you asked me here for? A greeting?" Hibari scowled at me.

"Ah, heavens no. I've also got a gift for you." The confetti slowly melted. "I know you don't like crowds, so I decided against having a party with everyone in it. Instead, I went for what you want."

The confetti melted into the darkness, and Hibari felt a presence behind him. The darkness was driven away. He spun around, and there stood Tsuna in Hyper Dying Will Mode, the Sky flame flickering proudly on his forehead. I could see Hibari's mouth twitch upwards in a smirk.

"I'll let you battle Tsunayoshi here. If you want to fight the Perverted Pineapple Pedophile Prick (*sneeze*) and that stupid Bucking Bronco (*sneeze*) though, you'll have to win the Pokemon event." A recliner appeared, and I settled down on it. "At any rate, I've always wanted to see this, and I need this kind of violence in my bloodstream." I raised a hand in the air, and brought it down in a swift motion.

"Baturo, kaishi!" I chuckled mentally at the fact that I stole little line from the Cervello.

Tsuna's gloves were lit with his Sky flames, and he lunged at Hibari, who brandished his tonfas with a smirk, his features lined with something akin to happiness.

The aimed swift jabs at each other, blocking and attacking all in a blur, not bothering to stay in one particular area. Soon it seemed like they were engaged in a beautiful yet deadly dance, their bodies twisting, moving hither and to, their footwork seamless and admirable. Any other people who would even try to follow such a dance will surely meet their end.

The two then tried to hit each other with such a great force that the clash caused them to be knocked back, away from each other. Dust was kicked up in the air, and a gust of wind blew upon the field, creating a brief tension.

They lunged at each other again, their movements becoming much more graceful and...creative. The air was heavily laced with blood lust and killing intent, intoxicating it and creating an atmosphere that only the truly sadistic could appreciate.

With a sharp blast of Sky flames, Tsuna flew into the air. Hibari, not wanting to let his prey get away, unleashed Roll, and brought himself in the air as well, the area above the field now filled with the propagated needles of the Cloud's box weapon. Hibari used them as footholds, and was able to continue their little ballad in the air.

At some point, Tsuna's Sky flames were starting to affect Hibari's tonfas. The one held in his left hand turned to stone, and soon crumbled into dust. No problem, Hibari's face seemed to say as he simply replicated another one with his Cloud flames. The process repeated itself as Tsuna would strike hard and Hibari's tonfas would become petrified.

As Hibari jumped back, he let go of his tonfas, and they clattered to the ground. Handcuffs appeared in his hands, and he lunged forth once again. With a quick jerk to the right, he dodged a punch from Tsuna and locked a handcuff on it, which rapidly multiplied. Tsuna narrowed his eyes, and channeled a quick blast of Sky flames to his glove to petrify and remove the cuffs. Tsuna tried for a kick, which was also dodged and subsequently cuffed. A quick blast of Sky flames, and they were destroyed. After quite a bit of this routine, Tsuna was able to kick Hibari back.

The skylark's shoes skid against the floor, and soon he ended up beside his tonfas. He picked them up, and activated his Vongola Gear, the chains hidden in his tonfas released. He spun around, and the chains extended, quickly making Tsuna within range. The brunette was hit, but not out quite yet.

Hibari once again made went into the air and continued to dance with the young Mafia boss. The chains flicked about gracefully, inexistent light glinting off of it. Tsuna unleashed his Leon di Cielo, and with a roar, the chains turned into stone and crumbled. The tonfas were able to survive, as one of the propagated spheres was able to sever the connection before the flames could pass along it. The area was now rid of the propagated needles entirely, as the Sky Lion's roar had petrified them all. Luckily, Roll was able to retreat before it could be affected as well. Tsuna and Hibari stood at opposite sides of the arena.

Hibari smirked, and his tonfas were engulfed in massive Cloud flames. Both teens disappeared in a flash. They started to clash at high speeds, all that can be seen of them sparks of purple and orange. The sparks started to get higher, and soon, streaks of Cloud and Sky flames could be seen high up, the battlers silhouettes barely noticeable. The attacks became a little slower, but much more powerful.

One great clash, and all the dust was blown away, cracks forming in the ground beneath them. Sparks were flying, wisps of their flames coloring the air. They fought just as they had in the beginning before both jumping back and lunging into the air, at each other. They brought back their weapons, and prepared to hit each other.

There was a great noise, and massive amounts of pressure waves were unleashed. The two landed on opposites sides of the field once again, all the sings of their dangerous dance clearly evident, and both looked rather worse for wear, backs to each other.

Hibari smirked, somewhat satisfied with the fight. He was about to continue, but saw that Tsuna had disappeared. He turned to me.

"You may fight him once again if you win the Pokemon battle next chapter," I interrupted him before he could say anything. I smirked at him. "Happy birthday, Hibari Kyoya."

The skylark just murmured a little 'hn', which I took as a 'thank you', and walked away.


During the battle, from Illusion's point of view~

I quickly slipped on my headphones as the battle about to start, and it automatically played just as Tsuna lunged at Hibari.

Look, listen to my voice
If you're making the choice
Tell me all the girls and the boys
Either scream or rejoice
Let's make that noise
Either move or we will all be destroyed

Move and show me what you can do
When you step into the circle and shake like we do
Move when you just can't take it
And move if you just feel like breaking it

Can you hear me? Stop, look, listen to my voice,
It was never my choice to feel all alone
This is my home
Back up, you don't know if you've never been here,
You've never been to the place inside, I face my fears
It takes everything I am

Move and show me what you can do
When you step into the circle and shake like we do
Move when you just can't take it
And move if you just feel like breaking it

Move and show me what you can do
When you step into the circle and shake like we do
Move when you just can't take it
And move if you just feel like breaking it

If you come near me, stop, look, listen to my voice
If you're making the choice tell all the girls and the boys
Either scream or rejoice
Let's make that noise
Either move or we will all be destroyed
Back up and let go if you've never been here,
You've never been to the place inside, I face my fears,
It takes everything I am

So just move and show me what you can do
When you step into the circle and shake like we do
Move when you just can't take it
And move if you just feel like breaking it

Move and show me what you can do
When you step into the circle and shake like we do
Move when you just can't take it
And move if you just feel like breaking it

I come crashing to the floor
And I know there must be more like me
I've seen this all before, I can't carry this anymore, break free
So breath, and leave until the storm is over
'Cause underneath, there's a diamond passing over
So breath, let's leave until the storm is over,
Because I want to take you away

Move and show me what you can do
When you step into the circle and shake like we do
Move when you just can't take it
And move if you just feel like breaking it

Move and show me what you can do
When you step into the circle and shake like we do
Move when you just can't take it
And move if you just feel like breaking it

Move and show me what you can do
When you step into the circle and shake like we do
Move when you just can't take it
And move if you just feel like breaking it

Move and show me what you can do
When you step into the circle and shake like we do
Move when you just can't take it
And move if you just feel like breaking it

I smiled as the movements were perfectly synchronized with the song's beat and progression. Immediately after the song stopped, I hid them away just before Hibari faced me.

I love epic battles.


Alright, that should be it for now! Sorry if it isn't funny, but I hope you enjoyed reading the fight!

As for the song at the end, which I was listening to, it's called 'Move' by Thousand Foot Crutch. They're a really neat band, but if you're not a fan of rock, I guess you wouldn't agree.

I do not own them, by the way.

If you want to try visualizing the fight as an AMV, you can listen to the song and visualize the scenes for each paragraph.

The quick attacking is for first stanza, the second for the great clash. Third stanza for the dodging and attacking, fourth/chorus for when Tsuna lunges himself into the sky. Fifth for when Hibari has to replace his tonfas, and at 'let go', it's when Hibari switches to handcuffs. Sixth stanza for when Hibari's fighting with the cuffs.

At the seventh [If you come near me...], Hibari uses the chains. Moving on to the eighth, the chains and Cloud spheres are destroyed and they descend to the ground. The sparks start at ninth [I come crashing to the floor...]

And I guess you can figure out the rest.

If you're actually going to listen to it, I recommend watching the AMV 'Yamamoto of the Rain'. It's used there, and is pretty epic, if I do say so myself. Again, I do not own.

Thanks for reading, and please review!
