Author's note: I was kind of worried about adding some more extra, unnamed characters, but I think that they're an important part of who Hisoka is and how she thinks. If you don't like this chapter, well…too bad. It's my story, so I can do what I want. Muhaha. Seriously though, these characters won't be appearing that much more. I'll have maybe one more chapter where they appear, and that'll probably be it for the near future. Like with my other stories, I'll just do some weird irregular updating. I know I usually post on the same day of the week, but I'll just keep writing and posting for now. Okay, this turned out like a giant rant. Sorry. Enjoy the chapter.

As I wash the dishes from tonight's dinner, I look over to Hibari. "Oh Hibari-san, you have to head to the school for a match today, right?" I ask as I tilt my head to the side a little. He nods. "I can't come tonight. There's something I have to take care of," I explain briefly. I probably shouldn't let him know that I'm contacting someone because Onii-chan told me to. He might get upset.

"Where are you going?" he asks.

"Mm…" I start. Maybe I should tell him…? No, that might be a bad idea. I feel kinda bad though. "It's a secret," I reply. He frowns. "It's nothing to be worried about. I just have to find a way to contact someone," I explain. "I'll be alright." I pull on my grey pea coat and walk towards the front. "Good luck!" I say to Hibari before I pull on my shoes and run off on my own. I think if I stayed in there any longer, he would have made me stay at home.

"Come on…" I whine, "Please?" I pout. "Come on, you're the only person I can count on for this!" When I hear the okay, I smile. "Yay! You're the best!" I say. "You're sure you remember what to do right?" I ask.

"Yes, yes," the voice on the other end replies.

I smile happily. "Thanks again, Auntie!" I say happily.

"You're so pushy. Geez, Hiso-chan," Auntie says on the other end.

I pout. "I am not pushy, I reply. "I just need this to be done because Onii-chan asked me to."

"Okay, I get it. I'll have it done just for you, alright?"

"Thanks, Auntie!" I reply happily. "Next time I come back, I'll be sure to help out at your bakery a ton!"

She laughs heartily. "Sounds like a deal, Hiso-chan. You take care now."

"Yeah! You too, Auntie!" I say before I hang up. I dial the next number and I smile. "Senpai!" I greet happily.

"What are you doing still calling me, Senpai?" the male voice on the other end asks. "We're not in the same school anymore."

I reply, "Know, but you're still my senpai, Senpai."

He laughs. "Don't take it too seriously, Kohai."

"Okay! Oh, but anyways, can I ask you for a favor, Senpai?" I ask.

"Depends. What is it?" he asks.

"It's really simple, and it won't take up much time. Don't worry!" I start. He sounds wary about this. I'll get him to do what I want though.

In the end, I was successful in asking for help from other people and the task was completed fairly easily. "Yay! Thanks for making sure that it worked out, Senpai!" I exclaim happily. "I promise I'll make it up to you one day."

"Why don't you do some advertising for me then? I have a new clothing line that came out," he replies.

"Okay!" I reply.

"Alright, the clothes are headed your way then, Kohai. I'm counting on you."

"You can leave it to me, Senpai," I say. "Well, it's getting late over here so I'm gonna head back home. Talk to you some other time!"

"Sleep well," he says. Then he hangs up. I let out a sigh of relief. It's done. I'm sure the Snake will be heading this way soon. I smile a little before I go towards the school. I wonder if the situation is alright over there. I hope they're all okay.

I glance at Dino and his men as they go around the school. It looks like something serious happened. I do my best to keep my smile on as I survey the aftermath of the battle. Just what happened…? I walk over to Hibari and smile. "I'm back," I say.

Yamamoto comes over. "Hisoka? When did you get here?" he asks. Hibari glares at Yamamoto. Is it because he addressed me so casually? "Oh! Are you alright, Hibari?" he asks, not seeming to notice Hibari's glare.

"You were surprisingly well behaved," Gokudera comments.

"If these incidents are drawing out that herbivore's power, then I can't intervene yet," Hibari explains. I tilt my head to the side in confusion. I look over in Tsuna's direction. He looks serious, but then suddenly, Reborn jumps up and kicks Tsuna. Reborn's lightening the mood in his own way, I guess.

"We're going home!" Reborn declares. Tsuna looks up at Reborn from the ground as Reborn continues to stand on him. "We're going home."

"Eh?" Tsuna asks.

"You need to recharge for tomorrow's match," Reborn explains.

Tsuna exclaims angrily, "Why do you always kick me?!"

"I felt irritated."

"W-What kind of reason is that?!" Tsuna exclaims.

I start to giggle as Reborn kicks Tsuna repeatedly. I turn to Hibari. "Can we go home now?" I ask. He nods. Maybe I was worried about this without much reason. They always find a way to bounce back somehow.
