A/N: Every time I stared at the screen for this chapter I drew a blank. Geez, Hibari, you really don't want a chapter or something? (Must be the fact he doesn't want to be included with the other herbivores even if he starting to tolerate them.)
Disclaimer: I will never own KHR else Hibari will bite me to death for lying.
Chapter 5
Crowding the Cloud
Kusakabe pulled back his shoulders and took a deep breath. It has been years since the Yakuza war was barely avoided at the cost of couple of officers and previous Police Chief. Now he knows he needs all the help he can get and help his father who is the current Police Chief.
Just few days ago he caught a glimpse of a boy similar to his age beating up older men with what he suspects to be the previous Chief's tonfas. He knows the boy is strong and will need his help to bring up the police department strength up once more.
Now he knocks at the Hibari home. The bell rang for five minutes, but he will not leave until he gets an answer. Fortunately for him, a slight, but no means weak child opened the door. For a second they stood staring at each other. Kusakabe shook his head and began, "I need your help-"
Hibari shut the door.
I cant give up! Kusakabe thought. So Kusakabe visited the lonely Hibari mansion all summer long trying only to have his responds cut off. Tetsuya doesn't give up since just yesterday he was responded with; "Hn."
Now school begins and he realizes Hibari is in his class. So he ignores people muttering "crazy" and "demon" around him as he walked up to the isolated corner of the room. This time Hibari glared at him for the interruption of his nap.
Bowing down in a dogeza, "I seek your strength and wish for your help to train my father's men."
There was a long tense silence. Hibari looked up and gave out a strong killer intent that had everyone, even the teacher, running for their lives (or some pass out). Not Tetsuya. By sheer will he hold on and didn't falter from his position.
"Hn, so there are rule-breakers in Namimori?" a monotone voice responded, not relenting his power.
"Yes," Tetsuya barely responded, but it seemed to satisfy Hibari.
"Come along, we have herbivores to bite to death." The killer intent lowered enough for Tetsuya to look up with awed at Hibari. He gave off such power just as the day he rescued him from the leftover Momokyokai yakuza.
It was no longer for his father, but that is the day he chose to follow faithfully Hibari. He marvels how no one can compare to him.
He didn't really care training the new police recruits. Hibari just practically dropped them off with one of worst offenders of rule-breakers and let them learn to defend themselves.
Such herbivores, Hibari thought disgusted by the low standards of the police force. Why he bother, he doesn't know (then remembers of an older carnivore more stronger than his father or protected him until he could grow his own carnivore fangs).
Some of them complained, but Hibari just glared, "If you cannot bite this rule-breaker, then you better get a new job!"
Some of the others still persevere. He can tell Kusakabe wanted to say something, but the loyal herbivore knows better than to question him. He careless if those fools survive or not. His father left him to be the best carnivore and died protecting Namimori. So he will protect Namimori. Nothing will stop him.
His phone went off with his School anthem ring tone that with slight amusement when he watched everyone in the vicinity take a large couple of yards away from him, and answered. It appears there is a flaming herbivore running around in his underwear. Hibari growled at such indecency. He will beat the herbivore so he will see sense.
Sadly it was just the beginning.
Hibari came out of the hospital after that insane ordeal with crazy carnivore baby who grew. He still couldn't get over the fact how well he fought when he was partner up with that pineapple! He will never live it down. The bright side was watching the omnivore's potential grow even stronger almost at carnivore level, he shivered in excitement. Shaking off this thoughts he went to beat up a rule-breaker for skipping class.
"Hibari! Hibari! Carnivore wannabe! Carnivore wannabe!" Hibird chirped out his report. He nodded and follow the yellow puffball of doom.
There were a lot of yakuza making trouble near the edge of Namimori. Hn, they must have heard I was hurt and thought they can hurt my town, Hibari frowned.
That is when he notice the two different groups of people working together rather seamlessly; his Disciplinary committee and trained police force. He saw how both fought for the peace of town.
His vice-president came to stand next to him, "Glad you're alright, Boss," Kusakabe played with his toothpick on his mouth as they stared almost proudly at their work.
"Hn," maybe it will be worth hanging out with those herbivore pack and the possibilities of facing more worthier opponents came into mind.
He smirked.
Hibari feels uneasy. He doesn't like that. He can't even fight the omnivore for a month something about recovering from overusing his flames in levels that could have killed him. So in order for him to vent out, Hibari will either destroy something or beat up an unlucky herbivore. Unfortunately he knows himself enough that the latter will leave the herbivore beat up within an inch of their lives and still not be enough. So the former it is.
Which is no surprise he now stands midst of his broken office somewhat satisfied. Then someone knocks. Hibari strides to the door and stares at the sheepishly smiling omnivore. He doesn't have patience to deal with the weird omnivore, right now.
"Leave," Hibari commanded.
Surprisingly (or not) the omnivore only huffed and looked behind Hibari at the mess of destruction. He looked worried, but didn't voice it, "Okaa-san loves to cook and decided to make lunch for you. You have to eat up homemade meals once in a while, you know" the younger boy shrugged, "You might need the strength to deal whatever problem is bothering you."
"I don't recall asking for help," Hibari glared harder remembering how the young man took care of him when he was younger (to think Cloak-san/Yoshi-sama was his boss).
Tsunayoshi smiled that broken smile again, Kyoya just glared harder. Now he remembers what has been bothering him. The stupid omnivore caring about others and not realizing he, Tsunayoshi himself is breaking inside. And everyone knows this. Why he is like that? As far as he knows, nothing can be wrong, is there? (and since when did he start to worry about the strange omnivore?)
"Here and enjoy your meal Kyoya-san!" The omnivore quickly turned around and ran toward the roof knowing the Tsunayoshi will meet up with the slightly stronger herbivores.
"Thank you, Tsunayoshi-san," Kyoya nonchalantly responded and went on to hunt some rule-breakers he saw through the window.
And if Kyoya smirked when he sense the Tsunayoshi freeze behind him, well no one ever will know.
A/N: More than half-way there. Thanks everyone for reading and upcoming next is the other mist! Until next week.
