Mitobe walked into Hibari's room that day, a little slower than usual, not that anyone would notice, he held the container of food in hand. He should have thought about Nori's request before answering, but the way she looked at him, it was daunting. He didn't want to be rude to her, not after she treated him kindly even though she didn't know him. He leaned his head on the door, hands hovering on the knob before deciding to finally open it. He took a deep breath and put on a smile before walking in and shouted in a happy voice.

"Kyoya~!" Mitobe greeted with false excitement as he walked over to the chair that was never moved and sat down in it with the container of food on his lap.

"How are you? Must be terribly boring alone in this room huh? Hahaha~" Mitobe laughed. "Tone it down a little..." His inner voice commanded irritatingly.

The prefect didn't say anything, despite how loud he was, Hibari have yet to pull his tonfas out and threaten him, maybe it was the food, but he felt like they got along a little better, or hopefully someone took it away from him.

"Here's the steak I promise, I didn't know how to make it, so I asked my teacher for help..." He confessed shyly unwrapping the container and handed Hibari his eating utensils.

"You're talking too much today Herbivore..." Hibari frowned as he sat up from his bed taking the food. He saw the bandages on Mitobe, he didn't care of course, but some of it looked brand new, like the burn on his forearm since the sleeves of his jacket and shirt was rolled up to his elbows. Mitobe noticed and pulled his arms behind him and leaned then against the back of the chair. He didn't say anything further not wanting to disturb Hibari, it made him disgusted with himself to see him being so cautious towards the skylark. It's like himself anymore, but he was fine right now. The small reporter never asked for anything much, just being able to sit this close and in the same room with the one he admired was good enough for him, but he wondered how long until this was no longer able to satisfied him.

Mitobe remembered that he still need to bring up Nori, he needed permission to bring her over and introduce her. He didn't want to bring her up but he did promise and he didn't want to break it. The silence that he once found irritating and annoying was now one of the things that is comforting him at the moment, because the silence meant that Hibari was still his...school mate and he doesn't have to share with Nori yet.

"How is it?" Mitobe asked pushing up his glasses slightly.

"Doable." It was a simple answer, but it meant he didn't hate it.

When Hibari was done Mitobe handed him a bottle of water and a napkin to wash the food down and wipe his mouth.

On that day, Masato Mitobe didn't say much, he tried to act natural, but it was hard to tell when you start to act differently when you can't exactly observe yourself. He took his sweet time to bring up Nori, he wasn't even going to, maybe avoid her until she gave up. At least that was the plan until he felt his phone vibrate from his pocket. He opened his messages and saw Nori's name on is screen. Her message was clearly eager and you could tell she was smiling when she sent it.

Name:Nori
Subject: Have you asked?
Message:

Hey~! Mitobe! I really want to thank you, this means a lot to me. have you asked him yet? What did he say? :D
I'm so nervous~!

Mitobe closed his phone and put it in his pocket again.

"Kyoya, I have this friend...and...um...I guess she wants to meet you, so...Can I bring her over tomorrow?" Mitobe asked quietly hoping he won't be heard, but that's not possible with man who wakes up at the sound of a leaf falling from a tree, he always has his guard up.

"I don't like crowding Herbivore, just having you here is already making me want to bite you to death."
"But you haven't" Mitobe added in is head. A small smile crept onto his face "I won't come then, I think she just really want to talk to you. If it's just you two it'll be okay right?"

Hibari sent him a glare which was ignored. Mitobe took it as a yes since it wasn't as heated, but maybe he's over looking small details. When Hibari finished eating Mitobe wrapped up the container and utensils neatly and placed it on the floor by his feet.

"Soba." the Disciplinary Committee President said calmly as he leaned back on to the wall that his bed was pushed against.

"Pardon?" Mitobe asked a little confused.

"You heard me Herbivore. Bring it tomorrow."

"I...I don't know how to make-"

"Buy it, if you make it you'll ruin it."

Well...that took a heavy blow to his ego. Mitobe wasn't sure if Hibari saw the burn and was concern or because he truly was that bad of a cook. The smaller boy went with the first option for the sake of his selfishness. Mitobe nodded before standing up and straightened his clothes.

"I have training with Reborn. See you later I guess." He faked another smile before leaving and closing the door gently after himself. His heart felt that weird sense again, like someone is poking it. He gave a defeated sigh and went over to the field where he met with reborn yesterday, it made him sad he didn't get to see the other three today, but Hibari took more of his time than he thought. How embarrassing.

"Hey Reborn! Hope I'm not late..." Mitobe greeted dropping the empty food container on the side line.

"You're 3.2 seconds late, I hope you're ready for your punishment." The infant threatened. Mitobe instead of panicking like use to, smiled and pulled out his switch blade, he needed this distraction. It wasn't math but hell, it was a lot more thrilling.

Reborn began firing as before and Mitobe either dodged, deflected, or cut the substitute bullet.

Training was nothing different until Reborn demanded Mitobe spar with him. As expected, he lost like always, didn't even get a single hit in. What he got was even more scars and bruises, at least he was alive. His body ached and his muscles were screaming for a break, he could feel his knees almost giving out.

"You're improving at least, but you're still weak."

"Everyone is weak to you Reborn."

"Get home, you have thirteen minutes before the last train leave~"

Mitobe stared eyed wide and pulled out his phone, twelfth, he had twelfth minutes. The boy let out a long string of cuss as he ran to get the empty container and ran towards the train station.

"What did he say? You never texted me back..." Nori asked Mitobe during lunch.
He took a sip of his milk trying to stall his answer. It didn't work too well since he ran out of milk.

"He said yes~ I'll take you over today, but we have to stop by a store first..." Mitobe replied artificially.

Nori's eyes lite up and she blushed deeply before hiding her face in her hands. Daiki and Daichi were once again applying bandages to Mitobe, since he was as reckless as ever." Stop moving!" Daichi whined was he tried to get Mitobe to stay still.

"You, seriously that instructor of you must be a demon..." Daiki added as he rubbed alcohol on an open wound.

"Worst, he's the devil." Mitobe joked playfully before wincing as Daiki pressed on a wound while laughing.

"I wish we could come, but Daiki and I are going to a community play."

"Oh, I forgot you guys are into that acting stuff." Nori commented

"It is ART! THEATER ART!'' They replied in unison. Despite his depressed mood, Mitobe laughed at their antics.

"I've taken care of the paper work up until today, but there are some that we need your signature to be approve. Those can be taken care of after you're released though." Kusakabe informed as he sat in the chair next to the bed.

"I'll be out by this week." Hibari told hm plainly.

"But the doctor said you need another week." The vice argued.

"I said I'll be out THIS week." The taller man didn't argue since he value his life dearly. He gave an understanding nod as he stood up, Kusakabe was about to return the chair to it's proper place but Hibari stopped him.

"Just leave it." He commanded looking wistfully out the window.

"What if you trip on it when you go to the bathroom?" The man asked concern for his boss.

"Just leave it." He repeated not moving from his position. Kusakabe didn't argue any further and left the room to go back to the school to attend to business.

"Nori hurry up." Mitobe said in a monotone voice as they walk off school campus after school. Nori was visibly shaking as she stumbled after him, he waited for her with his bag swung over his two got to the train station, got their ticket and boarded. Nori sat next to Mitobe fiddling her thumbs nervously ocassionally sending the boy next to her a few glances.
"I'm really scare Mitobe..." She muttered.

"Masato." He corrected leaning his head on the window.

"Sorry sorry...I'm really scare, can you give me some tips?" She requested.
The glassed boy sighed and thought about it for a minute. "Try not to talk too much, don't stutter, look strong, do not over step your boundaries, don't touch him, he likes his space. If he tells you to do anything do it, he's not going to go easy on you even if you're a girl, but most importantly do not treat him as if he is weaker than you."

Nori nodded quickly and repeated his advice under her breath. "Oh, by the way, I have some friends I want to visit, so we'll need to stop by a store. And Kyoya wants some Soba. Think of it as a sacrifice to the god of Herbivore Hating Carnivores so you can get out of that room alive. Even though it's actually quite useless."

"What" She asked confused.

"He gets hungry..." Mitobe summed it up in a simpler way.

When they got to Namimori, Mitobe walked Nori to a store and bought some food, he bought a tray of Soba that was already made and some small cakes, fruits and some beverages. He paid for them and they headed towards the hospital.

"Namimori is really nice..." Nori thought aloud looking around, not a single gang in sight.

"Then you can thanks Kyoya for that." Mitobe answered her he handed her the bag with the Soba and a bottle of Green Tea, she took it happily and by the time they arrived at the hospital they wasted thirty minutes. Mitobe waled Nori to Hibari's room and asked her to recite the advice he gave before patting her on the shoulder and giving her a mocking thumbs up. He told her good bye and went on his way to visit Tsuna, he was a bit nervous about him hurting her but he's going to give the skylark the benefit of the doubt.

The reporter walked into the room with a bright smile and yelled a greeting. "YOO! WHICH ONE OF YOU LOSERS WANT FOOD?!"

Gokudera flinched by the noise before yelling as loudly. "DON'T CALL THE TENTH A LOSER!"

"Ahaha! Haven't seen you in a while!" Yamamoto welcomed him immediately. Tsuna smiled and wave politely, Reborn was resting on his head like a king to a throne, but for Tsuna's sake we'll think of Reborn as a crown.

"Ahaha~ I've been busy, I'm sure Reborn can tell you of my failing..." Mitobe mused as he took his place in the chair between Tsuna's and Yamamoto's bed. He immediately took out the small cakes and passed it around before peeling the oranges with his nail.

"You don't have to do this you know, it must be a lot of money..." Tsuna nervously said as he took the food anyway.

"It's not a lot, beside, I should spoil you guys more often." Mitobe answered as he gave the peeled orange away.

"Ahahaha! Mitobe, I'm getting released tomorrow, so we can have that one on one!"Yamamoto said as he ate a piece of orange.

"Really?! Shouldn't you fully recover first?" Mitobe asked just to be sure, he didn't want the swordsman to hurt himself.

"I'll be out in two days, you owe me a fight as well Masato! I need to evaluate your skills to make sure you're capable of protecting the Tenth!" Gokudera said with a mouth full of cake. It was rather cute, he had a bit of cream on his cheeks that was puffed out like a chipmunk.

"The more the merrier!" Yamamoto added with a bright grin.

Tsuna sat there dumbstruck on why they were making plans to kill each others. Maybe it was a test of manliness, but he wouldn't know about it.

Nori stood in front of the door taking a deep breath before walking in making sure to look mature and elegant. She had the bag of food in one hand and walked into the room with a confident stride.

"Hello?" She greeted as she entered the room, the Prefect was on the bed looking over some papers that he insisted Kusakabe bring him to complete. He didn't say anything to her but gave her an empty look, Nori walked over to the bed with an even more flustered face. He was gorgeous, black hair framing his face perfectly, sharp, cold, steely eyes looked at her directly. She heard rumors of this beautiful monster but to see him was overwhelming, Nori sat down in the chair and opened the food before talking.

"You must be Hibari right? It's a pleasure to meet you." She said happily handing him his food.

Hibari didn't take it but only glared at her, he haven't spoken a single word to her. "Maybe he's a mute..." She thought.

"It's from Mitobe, he asked me to deliver this. My name is Asayuki Nori, please to meet you!" She introduced herself as she fiddled with a strand of hair in a nervous maiden like manner.

Hibari didn't say anything else but took the food and broke the chopstick in two. "Get out Herbivore, you're crowding."

Nori tilted her head to the side in a clueless manner. "Sorry what?"

"Get out, or I'll bite you to death." The Prefect threatened.

"I'm sorry, I was told you were looking forward to meet me. Masato said so himself." Nori answered meekly, she was a bit afraid, his glare was heated and harsh, something she wasn't use to seeing as an only child who was always praised.

"That Herbivore is a liar." He stated simply, Nori looked around the room nervously.

"Masato wouldn't lie! He spoke go highly of you, he's a honest man!" Nori defended her friend.

"Herbivore, we're in a hospital, shouting is not allowed, if you disobey Namimori's rules then I'll bite you to death."

Nori was about to say something else but remembered Mitobe's advice and left the room. She wasn't sure what to think about Hibari, he was beautiful, that was true but his personality was that of rotten milk, and yet somehow it drew her into him even more. Maybe it was the dangerous air around him, or the fact that he was so highly spoken of, or maybe it was because she felt the need to be with him. Despite all his flaws, Nori was prepared to over look it.

She took out her phone and typed up a message sending it to Mitobe with a virgin expression.

In the middle of one of Gokudera and Yamamoto's fight, Mitobe's phone rang in his pocket as he was calmly chatting to Tsuna about poisonous bugs found in certain continents .The boy was so creep out but Mitobe only laughed at his pain as he pulled out his phone to check for the message.

Name:Nori
subject:Great news!
Message:
Hey Masato! He's different then what I thought he would be...But I think I like him even more now! He's really good looking too right? Haha! But really, he has a bad personality, but I think I'm falling for him~! Thanks for bringing me, but I'll head home first!

Mitobe's smile fell, as he read the message, an irritated glare made it's way to his face as he answered her.

Name:Masato
Subject:Great News!
Message:
I'm happy for you~! Glad you like him.

SENT!

Tsuna caught his friend's frown and looked at him concerned but kept quiet afraid to say anything.

"Oi! Stalker dog! What wrong with you?" Gokudera, wasn't so scared.

"Huh? Sorry~ Hahaha, just sending my friend a text." Mitobe replied smoothly as the lie slipped perfectly pass his grinning lips.

"You were making a pretty ugly face there." Yamamoto joined in.

"Ah? Was I? My glasses are getting dull, I have to squint to see." Another lie.

"Tch, this is just like the time you moved away dumb ass!" Gokudera was right, all four of them knew that, Reborn too, but he was asleep. None of them knew what happened, Mitobe just brought it up at lunch and announced he was moving away. He wasn't even clear about, just blurted it out like he was commenting on the weather.

"U-umm...We're friends, so you can talk to us...you know." Tsuna offered shyly.

"It's not your problem though." Mitobe argued slyly choosing his words.

"You idiot..." Gokudera began. " You're part of the Vongola Familia! That mean we're a family, no matter how much I might dislike you, it means that a family stick together!"

"Ohana means family, and that means no one get left behind." Yamamoto added.

"What?" Tsuna asked confused

"I saw it on TV." He explained.

Mitobe was touched by their words and he felt like he might actually cry, but he didn't. He smiled and hid his face in his hands.

"You guys...Seriously...Thanks..."

Gokudera was embarrassed by his own words, but he did mean it. He use to be a thug, just roaming the streets of Italy, but ever since he met Tsunayoshi, he made more friends. Friends who didn't care if he looked like a punk, friends who didn't get bother by his coarse language or rude personality. They stood by him even if he insulted them and no matter what mistake he makes, they will always have his back in battle. That's why he's proud to be a member of the Vongola, that's why he's dedicated to Tsuna, and that's why he knows no one should ever be alone, because loneliness is deadly, it leaves you empty and hollow.

"So spit it out Stalker Dog." Gokudera commanded. Mitobe while embarrassed about his nickname felt special that he has one, he was aware that Yamamoto was Baseball Idiot, Tsuna was Tenth, and Lambo was Stupid Cow, his was Stalker Dog, that sounds pretty cool. Like a ninja...Super assassin...Dog thing. That's cool right? Like a code name, Stalker dog...Woof.

"...I'm setting my friend up with someone I like...But He has no idea I like him."

"You like a guy?" Yamamoto asked, not like he was disgusted, but more of surprised.

"Yeah, I do, it's Kyoya by the way."

Tsuna looked petrified "How can you say that so calmly?! It's Hibari!" He asked.

Mitobe looked over like nothing was wrong. "What? It's the truth, I mean...I do like him. I just have to set him up with someone else..."

"That's horrible..." Yamamoto muttered, his usual happy tone gone and replaced by a worried one.

"I handle it..." Mitobe assured.

"Why don't you just not help her then?" Tsuna suggested.

"She's my friend..." Mitobe didn't want to make the situation worse, he didn't want to lose a friend, but Nori isn't someone who would hate him for it.

"Idiot..." Gokudera growled under his breath, he sent a piece of crumbled paper by his nightstand and threw it at Mitobe since dynamite would upset the Tenth.

The paper bounced off his head uselessly.

"If you like someone, you don't help someone else fall in love with them!"

"I know, sorry..."

" Don't apologize! Do something about it!"

"Woah, Hayato, I'm not even sure if I even like him that much!"

"How can you not know?!"

"I'm sorry!Why are you yelling at me?!"

"Stop being an idiot!"

"But I got all A's on my report card!"

"You're still an idiot!"

"I'm sorry!"

"Gokudera...Masato...Please stop yelling..." Tsuna decided to stop their little bickering, amusing as it was he didn't want Hibari to come and beat them up for for it, Reborn got them some foreign medicine that made them heal much faster, and they had Dr. Shamal's help as well, after Reborn dragged him here while he was hammered.

Class already started, but Mitobe was no where in sight, his teacher asked around but no one knew where he was so class started without him. The reporter was on the roof working on his Algebra while sipping on milk. Everyone had their way of relaxing, his was...questionable.

After his third box of sweetened milk, he felt a little sick. Graphing...groan. The sun was covered by clouds and made a cooling day, it would be a shame to spend it inside, unless he had internet and a computer, but math will have to do for now.

He's been avoiding Nori the best he can, but running away won't help him forever. Yamamoto was getting released today, he probably already left but Mitobe had plans with the twins to go to the arcade again.

Mitobe laid on his back and looked up to the sky using his arm to cover his face. He didn't know what to do about Nori yet, should he tell her? He knows that he had feelings towards the Prefect, he won't deny that, but was it strong enough to where he actually wanted to take the chance?

Miotbe pulled out his phone scrolling down the contact list until he found Hibari's name, his finger hovered above the call button, he could really use some guidance right now. Thinking back to Gokudera's advice the Reporter closed his phone, too much of a coward to do anything.

Mitobe let out a low groan and curled into a ball deciding to go to sleep, he didn't feel like going to class, not with the mood he's in. He'll also skip the News Paper Club meeting. Can't skip on the twins though, wouldn't want them to hurt their feelings, also that and they once hid a tracking radar in his bag because he disagree to come over to their house.

"Sie sind das Essen und wir sind die Jäger!" At the sound of his ringtone, Mitobe woke up and ruggedly sit up and picked up the call.

"What?" He asked in a irritated tone.

"Yo! Where are you? We're about to leave."

"Daiki" Mitobe thought as he gathered his stuff not even bothering to clean up his trash.

"Sorry...I'm on my way, are you by the gate?"

"Yeah, hurry up."

Mitobe put his phone back in his pocket and swung his bag over his shoulders walking down the flight of stairs and out of the building. When he saw the twins they were waving excitedly.

"Where have you been all day?" Daichi asked

"Sleeping, math, milk."

The brothers looked at each other and shrugged as the three began walking to the arcade.

"Hey, Nori went to visit Hibari again." Daiki brought up.

"What of it?" Mitobe asked nonchalantly.

The two brothers looked over to each other with a concern gaze.

"She's going to get hurt by the way his reputation goes." Daichi added. Mitobe didn't look like he really cared as he continue walking.

"If she wants to play with fire then let her. People learn best from experience."

Daiki walked in front of Mitobe blocking his path and pulled the collar of his shirt threateningly. Since he was taller Mitobe had to look up to him.

"Do you know what a massive prick you are being?!" He yelled, Daichi stood from the side line not bothering to stop the fight, people looked over to the source of the commotion but the two in the middle of it ignored them.

"Are you saying you just don't care about her?"

"I'm saying I don't care what she does!"

"How can you say that? You've been avoiding her all day! Us too, since when do you act like a trouble maker and skip class?"

"You're steeping your boundaries Daiki..."

"Like I give a damn shit. You act like you're so hard to read! You're not okay? EVERYONE can tell you're pissed off okay? You're not as mysterious as you think you are Masato Mitobe!"

"What is your point Nagato Daiki!"

"I'm saying that you're being an ass! You're just going to keep ignoring Nori aren't you? Until you're satisfied with yourself?!" Daiki's grip tightened but Mitobe wasn't going to back down.

"I am satisfied with myself!"

"You're a damn idiot!"

"Indulge me on what an idiot I am then!" Mitobe threw the first punch, it hit Daiki in the face sending him to the ground. the crowd gasped but no one tried to stop it.

"You really want me to yell your mistake out to the the world? YOU'RE TOO STUPID TO REALIZE WHEN YOU NEED TO MAKE A DAMN MOVE!'' Daiki stood up and charged at Mitobe sending a punch of his own, it knocked Mitobe's glasses of his face and it skid on the pavement.

"Fuck off and mind your own business!" Mitobe threw another punch to Daiki's stomach, who grabbed it and flipped Mitobe over and kicked him. The shorter boy got up and ran to the younger twin punching him before he had the chance to block. "What's your damn problem!? I have my own!"

"You're being a pompous brat! So what if Nori likes this guy! He's going to hurt her!" Daiki shouted as he got up from the ground. Everyone knows that Nori was like a sister to the twins and no doubt they would protect her if it came down to it.

"WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO ABOUT IT?!" Mitobe punched Daiki again, who caught his fist and punched him in return.

"Get her away from him then! We both know you like Hibari! We both know Nori likes Hibari! If you see her as competition! THEN TAKE HER SERIOUSLY!"

Daiki punched Mitobe once more time, by now the both of them were bruised and bloody, but this was nothing compared to what he experienced with Reborn and Hibari.

"YOU KNOW WHAT?! NEITHER OF US HAVE A CHANCE!''

"WHY THE FUCK NOT?!"

"BECAUSE KYOYA ISN'T INTERESTED IN HERBIVORES...!"

Daiki looked at him waiting for an explanation, blood dripping from his nose, head and mouth. Mitobe wasn't in much better shape, Daiki can pack a punch...

"He...He doesn't like weak people, they're a waste of his time."

Daichi chose this time to enter the scene, he picked up Mitobe's glasses and pocketed it. Walking over to the two he grabbed their hands and lead them away from the scene, the crowd moved away after seeing his deadly glare. The two bleeding boys after him were still glaring at each other but did not say anything. Part of them felt bad for their fight, they wanted to apologized but their pride was too big to let either do so.

Daichi dragged the to a small clinic and sat them down, no one was talking, not even the people in the clinic waiting to be checked on and treated.

The silence grew uncomfortable and Mitobe had a hard time seeing without his glasses. A few nurse came by and took the three boys into a room and treated the two that was bleeding. No one talked, the nurse mumbled a few commands but other than that, there was no talking.

"Are you happy now?" Daichi asked as they sat in a fast food restaurant.

The two had a similar pout and turned away from each other, as the eldest of the three Daichi felt responsible, so he's treating them to burgers and shakes.

"Well? Was it worth it?" No reply.

"Honestly, Daiki, both of us are worried about Nori, but picking a fight isn't the answer. Masato, you are being stupid though. Avoiding your problems is not an option, so man up and face it. At least talk to Nori about it okay?"

No answer from either of them. Daichi sighed.

"If Hibari doesn't like Herbivores, then you'll have to be stronger then won't you Masato?"

"That's not it...Love makes people weak, hormones releases chemicals that cause you to loose focus of your surroundings, it's a bother..." Mitobe said as he drank a bit of his shake.

"Have you asked him?" Daiki muttered.

"I know the type of person he is."Mitobe answered. Even if their conversation was in snippets and small sentences at least they were talking again.

"You can never fully understand someone." Daiki argued. Mitobe didn't say anything more.

"How did you know I liked him anyway?" Mitobe asked.

"Like I said. You're like an open book...An open book written in secret code. But we figured it out. You're just a normal guy with normal feelings. That doesn't make you weaker." Daiki explained.

Mitobe didn't say anything because he knew fully well the twins were telling the truth.

"It's fine you know. Nothing is wrong with liking a man." Daichi assured as he ate his sandwich.

"So are you homosexual? Because that would be okay." Daiki smiled as if forgetting their earlier fight, if it wasn't for the blood and bandages, it would be like it never happened.

"No."

"What?" The two said in unison.

"Well...It's kind of like...I like him, but I do not find other people as attractive as he his. Not that I'm not interested in girls, you know I love girls...Girls with small boobs...small boobs are cute-"

"You're getting off track..." Daichi interrupted bringing Mitobe out of his thoughts.

"I feel like...I know I like him but I don't feel I only like him because he's him. Other males don't attract my attention."

"It's a gayception!" Daiki shouted with a teasing smile.

His brother gave him a look, one what kind of yelled "Why are we related?"

Mitobe asked him to explain better since he couldn't...understand.

"Well...It's like an exception! Right?! Where's they're the only one, it's kind of romantic~" Daiki shuddered.

"I'm going to throw out trashes away." Daichi announced standing up from his chair. He took the tray of wrappers and left over condiment packages and left. There was an awkward silence between Daiki and Mitobe.

"I um...Sorry I punched you." Mitobe decided to apologized for his action.

"Sorry I yelled at you..." Daiki admitted shamefully.

"So...Friends?"

"Sure. But if you punch me one more fucking time I'm going to carve your face in."

"Is that a threat?"

"Why don't you tell me shorty?"

There was a silence as the boys stared at each other from across the table.

"I'm sorry, that was uncalled for." Daiki begged for forgiveness, he knew how the Reporter felt about his height and he took it literally, all he ever even eat at lunch is milk, and that's just drinking.

Daichi came back not too long after and sat himself down.

"How are we going to explain this to mom?" He asked referring to the injuries.

"My parents think I have self defense class." Mitobe informed.

"We could say that.'' Daiki piped in.

"Can't they'd ask to meet the instructor. Let's just tell them we got jump." Daichi argued.

"But you're not messed up."

"I could run away to get authorities."

"That's useless, the police here do shit."

"Just tell them you got in a fight." Mitobe cut in.

"With whom?" Daichi asked as he leaned his cheek on his hand.

"Err...Random gang..." Mitobe shrugged.

Mitobe got home on time, thankfully Malissa didn't notice him come in as she was too busy cooking. Mitobe took a shower and cleansed himself before putting on more medication, ointments and bandages. His so call "parents" have grown use to seeing him with injuries, though they know it's not life threatening, they never really asked, which he was slightly grateful for, but in return he didn't get as much attention and Mitobe loved to be spoiled.

He sat in his room drying his hair with a towel, he took out his phone and noticed there are twenty-three new messages...All of them from Nori, though half of them are asking where he was, what he's doing and then the rest were Kyoya related.

Name:Nori
Subject:Kyoya~!
Message:
Hey! I haven't seen you around today so I went to see Kyoya by myself, he wouldn't eat any of the food I bought and kicked me out of his room.

Would you like to visit Hibari with me today? I'm a bit nervous, should I give it more time before telling him I love him?

Mitbe threw his phone gently onto the futon and leaned his hip against his desk as he continue to dry his hair, it amazed him what a little crush did to Nori, she was usually mature and calm, reserve, but one little bite on the love sickness turned her into a giggly mess. He wonder if it affected him yet, not that he could tell, though his thoughts are being constantly clouded by the Prefect, he was still able to focused on other things like training, manga, anime, and how to avoid getting caught by gang members. He was called to dinner, and as expected, the two didn't care much for his wounds, saved him the breath at least, he dismissed himself and returned to his room. He didn't miss the small murmurs that were passed after he left, comments about how his dad wanted him to get serious about studying, no doubt they got a call form school informing them he skipped class. He went back to his desk to finish his homework but his phone rang. He reached over feeling too lazy to actually get off the chair first, puling himself up he check the messages surprised it wasn't from Nori his time.

Hey~! How have you been? I'm not updating at mid night anymore! YAY! I hope you liked this chapter, as you can see, Mitobe is deadly afraid of falling in love and changing, he's such a girl.

I want to focus on the small details, like how Hibari left the chair for Mitobe, how he managed to put up with Nori and not killing her on sight because she knows Mitobe, how he refuse food from Nori since he didn't trust her, small things that can be expanded, because I think those small things are cuter. I'm going to leave the burn on Mitobe's arm up to you though~ Do he care? or did the food really taste that bad? ;)

I'm using the timeline from the Manga and the Anime, so it might get a little messed up, I am really excited for the Varia Arc, it's still not too late to vote by the way~!

Should Mitobe have a flame? if so which one?

Should he end up with Hibari? Or would you like a twist to this?

AND NOW! FOR REVIEWS!

Redthorn13: I'm glad you seem to like him, I want him to end up with Hibari too, but I really want to see if someone want this to turn all angst and go "NO!" and they go separate ways~ XD But they'll most likely end up together. I think giving him a Sky flame might be too dominate, I hope you don't mind, Cloud is seen in a lot of other Ocs when they are paired with Hibari, and Cloud flames actually get along very well with Sun and Rain. I hope you aren't too upset by my decisions.

Hibari Mayumi: He most likely will end up with Hibari since a lot of people are routing for him, you seem to like him, I'm glad! And wow! YES~! That would be hilarious! Mitobe topping and Hibari not knowing how to react just kind of goes all stiff, I can see Mitobe being a dirty talker for some reason...Kinky...Jk jk~ Or am I?

Xejis: I spent like five minutes fangirling over your review because it was so long~ I love hearing from my audience so don't feel bad about it being long, the longer the happier I am! I'm glad you are enjoying the story, I really am, do you the nick name Gokudera gave him? Fits doesn't it? Ahahaha~ I was working on his character sheet, and he was suppose to be a Mist flame user since I have plans for him. I love how you went into details makes me very happy that you paid attention to it. Hibari actually have Mist flames, weaker than his cloud flames, but he did use it in the future arc. I hope you continue to tune in~! I'll update as much as possible.

NOTE!

Alright~! I've been thinking about the future Arc, I was thinking of killing Mitobe off in the future, maybe just for angst.

And remember to review~!
