Chapter 10

The reply from the bathroom was quick. "Touch anything and die Sawada Tsunayoshi!"Tsuna gulped and obediently sat on the floor waiting.~End of flashback~


It had been an extremely rushed morning for Hibari with an extra clumsy brunet who was unable to see. With twice the clumsiness in his house, breakfast soon becomes a disaster zone and Hibari was quick to learn.

The brunet was a walking natural disaster zone. Everywhere he went and everything he touched seemed to be affected by his natural clumsiness. The zone around Tsuna was naturally unlucky for anyone and everyone. Bad things always happened to the boy and if there were an award for the most unlucky Namimori Middle School student, Hibari was sure to nominate him.

Orange juice in a normal person's care no matter how blind would still remain in the glass. Orange juice prepared fir Tsuna would end up a pile of glass shards and a perfectly artistic mess on the table dripping to the floor and not to mention over the brunet's head. The prefect had also unwillingly been dragged into the danger zone and gotten his gakuran drenched.

Due to this incident it resulted in a new chain of unfortunate happenings. While Hibari was fussing about the spilt drink he had forgotten about the toast which resulted in a mini fire in his ever spotless kitchen.

To make matters worse it was not the end of Hibari's unlucky morning. Tsuna decided to help out and tripped over the table which sent him crashing into the cabinet of crockery and the entire shelf of porcelain plates fell to the ground as waste.

Hibari had been furious and wanted to bite the boy to death. However on seeing that Tsuna was bleeding badly, he forgot all about it and called for Kusakabe to come immediately.

Kusakabe rushed to the scene and panicked at the sight of the boy who was soaked in his own blood. What surprised the man even more was how Hibari had looked panicked and hastily dressed the boy's wounds. Not one to question, Kusakabe rushed the boy with Hibari in tow to the hospital where Hibari often patronised.

After an entire morning of drama, the ordeal was finally over. Hibari sat by the side of the sleeping brunet's bed in the private ward in the hospital and sighed. He watched the peaceful face of the brunet sleeping like an angel. An urge to stroke the sleeping boy's hair rose within the disciplinary committee chairman and he quickly bit it to death.

A few more minutes passed and Hibari found himself stroking the boy's hair gently and playing with the gravity defying ends which never failed to intrigue him. His hand made its way up to Tsuna's cheek and he mused at how perfectly it fit in his hand. He marvelled at how innocent the boy looked. "It should be illegal!" he thought and then blushed so faintly that only the sharpest eyes would be able to pick out.

After biting his herbivorous mind to death Hibari decided to leave but not before planting a gentle kiss on the sleeping boy's lips.

Hibari left quickly and no one questioned him when he spaced off in the car. Kusakabe was worried for him but did not dare voice out his thoughts for dear of being bitten to death.

Hibari arrived home and that peaceful aura surrounding him when he left the hospital was quick in disappearing. Kusakabe shivered at the intense killing aura coming from the kitchen.

"Tetsuya," the clipped cold voice drifted from the kitchen and Kusakabe flinched involuntarily.

Hibari gritted his teeth and forced himself to remain cool despite the raging wrath boiling beneath the stoic exterior. His order was simple but it was absolute. "Get rid of the mess and replace everything. I'm going to patrol."

Kusakabe nodded and Hibari left without another word. Once Hibari was out of sight Kusakabe started calling for the housekeeper.

In the meantime, Tsuna was up in his bed fully awake. He was about to drift to sleep when he felt something soft against his forehead and then before he could register anything that person was gone. Tsuna had not the time to identify the person when the person vanished quickly. Being blind had its advantages. At least Tsuna knew how the person's hands felt like and how that person smelled like. Tsuna disliked the smell of steel on that person but the comforting smell of apples and something else made the scent of steel tolerable. The hands were rough but soft and the touch was tender to the extent it seemed loving. He felt safe with that person although he had no idea who it was.

Tsuna blushed at the idea of having someone like that stranger as a lover. "Could it be a secret admirer?" he thought.

Something that Tsuna realised made him pale significantly. The person had certainly been a make if not a man. Tsuna liked him and it made him notice that it was not the same feeling as what he had towards Kyoko.

"No way..." Tsuna whimpered. What would Reborn say or do if he found out that Tsuna was gay? Depressed, Tsuna pulled the cover over his head and slept.

"What?"

"You heard me Xanxus. I want you to go to Japan with Squalo to teach and guide Tsunayoshi-kun about love between two male."

"Stop fucking with me old man! Why would I do that?"

Vongola Nono stopped and pretended to think very hard before breaking into an impossibly wide smile while saying "I could get you engaged to the daughter of another family..."

"Shit! I'll remember this old man..." Xanxus cursed and yelled at his boyfriend to get a damn plane to Japan.

Vongola Nono smiled and sent a text to Reborn.

Reborn received a message in his mailbox and chucked darkly. Jumping off the roof with a Leon shifted glider, he headed for Kokuyou Land once more.

Mukuro sat at the long table expecting the infant's arrival. "I have news from my beloved belle. What would I be expected to so this time?"

Reborn smirked. "I guess Basil heard from Iemitsu. Anyway, I require you to keep an eye on Xanxus for me. I need to ensure he does not meet Tsuna before Hibari confesses to Tsuna."

Mukuro laughed and told him "I won't do it for free."

Reborn smirked. "Of course. You can expect a transfer to Italy with your real body once this mission is complete. You can get to see Basil all you like."

Mukuro smirked. "As expected from the Vongola."

The day passed very slowly and Hibari dreaded school for once. His mind kept on flickering to Sawada Tsunayoshi. It kept him from concentrating on his work. Usually it would take the predict less than two hours to complete going through the daily records but today it had been four hours and yet Hibari was nowhere near halfway done. Kusakabe had finished the task entrusted to him and was surprised to find Hibari still in the reception room.

A few more hours passed before Kusakabe entered the reception room again. "Kyo-san," he called out loud enough to be heard. Hibari glared at him from the pile of papers. Kusakabe gulped and managed to force the words out of his mouth to inform his chairman about the time.

Hibari threw the pen down with a defeated sigh as he got up. He took his tonfas and was searching for his gakuran when he remembered he left it at the hospital with Tsunayoshi in his haste. He mumbled a soft curse and told Kusakabe to go home while he makes a trip down to the hospital.

Back in Tsuna's room Reborn was plotting something. Three other arcobalenoes gathered in the room. "Thank you all for coming this evening. I have called you here for important matters concerning the Vongola Decimo. As you all know, it is a Vongola tradition that the boss must pick a mate before succession. I have called you all here for that very purpose of selecting the Decimo's mate. As we all know the Decimo himself is a little dense Vongola Nono has ordered me to select a few people for this mission appropriately to play matchmaker. Yes Viper, it will be paid by the Vongola. Verde can help to show us your progress on breaking the curse. As for you, I will have you help me as the main star..." Reborn smirked at the storm arcobaleno.

"It would be my pleasure," the Storm arcobaleno smiled.


*belle – means beautiful in Italian

Author's Note: Hey, sorry for the inconsistent updates... School has been demanding of me and I only managed this in the train or the bus on my way to school and such.Lately I've been having migraine and it's a bother. Please do review for the chapter and tell me if I have any room for improvement here. I always welcome Reviews that would help me make the story more satisfying.

Also I have no idea why so many of you think Nono's mate is Reborn. I didn't write anything of that sort right? :/

Last but not least thank you for all the people supporting me ^_^
