Chapter 6
Fedora shadowed his eyes and he told the storm guardian in a cold voice "That is not for you to know."
The storm guardian looked like a kicked puppy and the rain guardian tried to cheer him up. Reborn then silently left the sushi restaurant house and headed for another place: Kokuyou Land.
~End of flashback~
The next day for Tsuna and Hibari was definitely more unpleasant than their first day together. On a usual day Tsuna would be sleeping even when the alarm went off. Then Reborn would wake him with a special Leon shifted hammer to his head.
The morning with Hibari had been similar even without his eyesight. Tsuna slept for a good ten minutes even after the alarm went off. Hibari's patience finally ran out when the brunette took hold of his shaking hand and cuddled with it in his sleep hazed mind. Irritation was obvious on the prefect's face and without caring if the brunette was blind a swift tonfa hit the brunette's stomach. It was only Tuesday and Tsuna was barely surviving the morning.
For the first time in his school life, Tsuna was a good ten minutes early for school. The only reason for such a miracle would be the school's disciplinary committee head sending him waves of death glares down his neck without the unspoken promise of pain to come if he did not hurry. Due to Mammon's mist trials of finding their way around Namimori in an illusion Tsuna was able to at least make his way to school even without his sight. Of course that did not necessarily mean that he was not clumsy on the journey. If Hibari had not pulled Tsuna back in time, Tsuna should have been dead by now from several car accidents. The only good thing about having Hibari Kyoya as an escort was the menacing aura that silenced the neighbourhood mongrel which always scared Tsuna on his way to school.
Tsuna let out a sigh when he reached class. It would usually be due to resignation or dread. Today, it had been a sigh of relief. Tsuna was relieved that Hibari was finally gone and no longer torturing him with scary death glares.
His peace and rejoice were short lived when Gokudera came to class while yelling at a Yamamoto. Upon sight of the silverette's beloved boss, the loyal bomber cried out "Juudaime!"
Tsuna mentally sweat dropped while the bomber lectured the baseball player about respect for the Tenth. Then Gokudera stopped abruptly and turned to Tsuna scaring the poor boy out of his mind with the shock of being spoken to. The bomber still never noticed anything.
While the Italian passed the bento from Nana who entrusted Tsuna's lunch with him, the swordsman observed the brunettes' reaction. Tsuna flinched with all the sudden exclamations and jumped with all the loud noises. Gokudera too engrossed in his proclamation to his beloved boss failed to notice any of Tsuna's uneasiness.
Acting as casually and as carefree as normal, Yamamoto dragged the bomber away with an excuse of having to accompany him to buy drinks. While the Italian protested, Tsuna was silently thankful to Yamamoto.
Class started but Gokudera and Yamamoto were still not back. Kyoko was also late which had been a rare case. The teacher had rambled on about some math terms which again Tsuna failed to understand. The class was in the usual state of chaos. Mashido was eating in class, the girls were talking and giggling about some idol's concert coming up while Kento's gang read some new Jump manga. Tsuna could not see them but he heard them and knew what exactly was going on. It had already become a routine in his dame life to space out in class and boredom inspired him to observe the others around him.
Suddenly the door of the classroom flew open. Initially, Tsuna thought it might be Gokudera and Yamamoto but the deafening silence told him otherwise despite not being the brightest bulb in school.
Only when the teacher stuttered the new comer's name did Tsuna visibly pale. Cold shivers ran down his spine and he barely suppressed a pitiful whimper when the cold voice caressed his name.
"Sawada Tsunayoshi," Hibari called and Tsuna's teeth rattled. His voice got caught in his throat.
"Sawada Tsunayoshi, you are hereby dismissed from class until further notice. I have come to fetch you back by orders from the principal. Pack your bag now," Hibari told the young mafia boss to be.
Tsuna was confused but more than that he was afraid. Not one to question authorities especially when said authority dealt with a deadly skylark, Tsuna quickly packed up with the help of Hana. He made his progress to the door where Hibari stood painfully slow and with patience not one of the prefect's best virtue, Hibari went forward to grab Tsuna and hoist him over the shoulders. They departed the class with a loud slam of the door and a distinctive crack which Tsuna swore was the abused door that cracked under pressure of Hibari's deadly glare.
Rendered helpless, Tsuna stopped flailing his arms pathetically. Being blind made him insecure and being held by the prefect did not make things anymore convincing as compared to being on the edge to look out for stones that might trip him while he could not see.
After a long silent walk with Tsuna still hoisted on Hibari's shoulder, Tsuna decided that Hibari was not going hurt him and relaxed a little.
Back at school a fuming bomber stormed his way to the disciplinary room and kicked the door down. The rain guardian followed closely behind with an unreadable expression.
The prefect sat in his office irritated with the intrusion. Gokudera grabbed Hibari's collar and snarled "Bastard, here have you taken the Tenth!" Yamamoto's expression told Hibari it was a serious matter. Keeping calm Hibari demanded to know what the bomber meant.
Before Gokudera could fly into rage and send a flying string of curses, Yamamoto cut him off and calmly explained the "kidnapping scene". Hibari frowned. Someone was playing tricks and had stolen his herbivore from right under his nose. Hibari made a mental note to bite that person to death later. However now, he needed to get his charge back. No one would dare to call Jivaro irresponsible even if the person under his care was kidnapped but for Hibari it would be a great wound to his pride.
Hibari was considering to threaten the town in order to find Tsuna but it seemed like luck was on his side.
"Ciaossu!" an innocent greeting from the mighty baby hit man who happened to conveniently drop by in times of trouble. Hibari half glared at the baby for choosing to drop by at such an inappropriate timing.
Reborn quickly changed his expression to that of a more serious note and said "This came in my mailbox today. You might want to be more careful."
Hibari took the letter held out by the tiny and, opened it and read. He threw the sorry excuse if a letter once he had read it, grabbed his tonfas, draped the jacket over his shoulders, opened the window and jumped off the ledge.
Gokudera and Yamamoto could only gap as they watched him make his grand exit. First to regain his senses, Gokudera snatched the fallen piece of paper and read. He dropped it and Yamamoto took it who also frowned when it was read. Reborn on the other hand had vanished without anyone noticing. The two guardians looked at each other and a strange understanding formed between them.
On the other edge of Namimori, Tsuna finally gathered enough courage to ask Hibari "Etto, Hibari-san... Can you put me down now?"
"No I cannot, Tsunayoshi-kun," came the teasing reply.
Tsuna asked a different question this time "Um... Hibari-san, where are we going?"
"Oya Oya and I thought you would never ask. To Kokuyou land of course!"
Tsuna froze. There was only one person who spoke this way. His brain finally put two and two together and to confirm his fears he asked one last question with a squeak.
"Ah... Hibari-san? Why are we going there?"
This time the person who Tsuna was sure had been Mukuro answered with a feral grin "Why, the better to possess you my dear Tsunayoshi-kun..."
