Hey everyone! The newest chapter is finally up! So, I wanted to wish everyone or those that celebrate Christmas a happy and a healthy, and I sincerely hope that you all enjoy it. Lately I've been reading up on some of my older manga series that I used to read as a child and I've come to realize that Naruto could be ending in a matter of weeks. (Any Naruto fans out there?) I guess this may sound weird, and I'm slightly hoping that at least ONE person agrees with me on this, but after a long time of reading/watching a manga develop into what it is today, you somewhat make an emotional bond with both the story and characters. For me, I started reading and watching it when I first saw it on a Saturday night on Toonami, back when I was 6. So I feel as though and technically did grow up with it. Ah, either way that's how things go! Enough of my sentimental rambling now, yes? Please read, review and favorite my story everyone! I truly appreciate it. :)

Happy Holidays,

-Chapter 8-

"Wait, what now? I need you to repeat that again." Colonello was tilting his head for what had to have been the fifth time within that twenty minute conversation.

Hibari sighed in exasperation. Was he truly that much of a numbskull? He'd have thought that he was at least smarter than the way he was acting right now. The prefect couldn't seem to find any other way to explain his situation better than the last three times that he just had. This was more than a really bad idea, he shouldn't have even thought of it. He then put two and two together. 'He trains with Ryohei Sasagawa because he's just as much as a idiot as he is. Ah, it all makes sense now. Perhaps I should find help from someone else.' And with that thought, Hibari got up from where he was seated in the boxing club room and started to walk towards the exit.

Colonello had watched the teen get up and begin walking towards the exit as he was thinking to himself what the boy meant. 'I need your assistance in the ways of mating. What the hell? How does any normal person expect you to understand what they want when that's not something someone asks everyday?' Obviously Hibari's conversational skills could use some work..Then he finally realized what Hibari had wanted. 'Whoa, even someone like him could feel attraction to someone?' This brought a whole new light in Colonello's head. 'That means someone like Verde can love too! Or even Xanxus! I never ever thought for a second that was possible until looking a this kid. Huh, that's really unexpected.'

"Hibari, wait!" The boy had already had his hand around the doorknob when Colonello had finally realized what he meant.

Turning his head, Hibari silently hoped in his head that Colonello had finally knew what he was talking about. He needed somebody useful to him, not someone that would slow down his plans. He had seen before how that woman acted with her fellow peer. She was always blushing, and acting indignant. From what Hibari had gathered from the rare few times he actually watched television that meant that she was attracted to him, although trying to hide it. Lal was clearly doing a horrible job at it though. She obviously wanted to mate with him. Anyways, back to the topic. Did Colonello truly get what he meant?

"So, what you're trying to tell me is that you are actually attracted to someone, but you just don't know how to go about it?" Ring ding ding! He finally got it, thankfully. Hibari could only sigh in relief. Now he didn't have to search the ends of the planet in search of romantic help.

"I guess you could put it that way, I guess. But I don't want to be the one that confesses. I want to make that person fall for me first." Boy, Hibari is a slave-driver, isn't he? What made it have its' traces of Hibari was fact that he said it both blatantly and with a straight face. He wasn't kidding, he was oh so very serious.

Colonello could only stare at him for a while, mulling over how ambitious Hibari was. 'So he wants the person to fall for him first. And confess to them on top of all of that!' Colonello then began shaking his head. 'Ah, teenage love. He's making me think back to my own middle school days.' Finally, after taking his own little journey into the past, he made his decision.

Snapping his head up, Colonello enthusiastically yelled, "Hibari, as of today, I shall be your love tutor!"

Looking at Colonello's overly enthusiastic face, Hibari began to feel a shadow of doubt creep up on him. But it'd be best just for him to nod his head in agreement for now. Colonello wasn't the brightest tack in the box. Or at least, in Hibari's opinion, hadn't shown his intelligence skill on display in front of him just yet. So maybe Hibari was jumping the gun when he felt that Colonello would be of no help to him at all. But he just couldn't help it. Once you start even remotely associating yourself with Sawada Tsunayoshi's family members, you slowly begin to realize that they have extreme issues. It'd probably be for the best to just allow it to gradually take its' time without Colonello's help.

Speaking of 'extreme', Hibari had completely forgot the fact that Ryohei was in fact in the room with them still. But he hadn't said a single word during the two's conversation. He had just crossed his arms, tilted his head down and closed his eyes. Perhaps he is in deep thought? Hibari didn't know, and was slightly intrigued to know if he actually was thinking. 'Who am I kidding? He's probably thinking about who he should recruit for his boxing club. That or training.' Remembering that he had a couple of more things to say to the acrobaleno, Hibari turned to him and regarded him with his usual gruff voice.

"I need you to keep what I said to you confidential, because I in truth would not like to deal with the rest of the Vongola family approaching me about it, making it more of a hassle than it really is. That and I don't appreciate everyone poking their noses into my business." Glancing over at Ryohei, he said "The same goes to you, do not speak a word of this outside of this room."

Ryohei only silently looked up at him and nodded, seemingly still in his own thought. And with that Hibari turned towards the door and left without any other mentioning on the topic. Now, he'd sit and wait until Colonello finally comes to teach him the ways of mating. Perhaps now would be a good time to study just what exactly his soon to be mate was about. As he walked down the hallway Hibari slowly began to grin as he thought of the way his plans were going. Not noticing the students giving him a more than usual amount of space, nor the facial expressions, he continued to walk down the hallway grinning what only looked like a predatory grin to most while in actuality he was giddy.

'Things are finally starting to look up. Sawada Tsunayoshi, you will be mine.'
