Chapter : Overly Loyal Puppy

As soon as the lunch time bell ringing, Tsuna stood from his seat and looking toward his rain guardian who also walking up to him with his usual grin plastered in his face.

"Hayato is not coming to school again today," Tsuna voice out his worry towards his right hand man's absence.

Yamamoto's grin faded out a bit as he also looked worry, "Yeah, it's been 4 days already. Wonder where he have gone to?"

"And his phone out of reach too. Even Haru started worrying over him more than usual," Tsuna say as they started walking towards their usual lunch spot in the rooftop.

"What Hibari-san says? You have ask him to try and find him right?"

Tsuna sighing heavily as he answer, "Kyoya only said that he's doing something Herbivorous and refuse to even tell me where the heck he is!"

"Hahahaha! Well at least that means he's fine right?" The cloud Guardian will definitely say something if Gokudera's in danger or something.

Tsuna trying to think about it, "Well, that is true. But I still wondering what Hayato is doing though. He didn't even tell me where he's going. And that's so not like him."

"Hm? Are you sure about that? When is the last time you see him?"

Tsuna furrowing, trying to recall his last meeting with the silver haired boy. "I think it was when he came to my house last sunday. We talk for a while, and somehow I fell asleep because of the new paperworks Reborn sending me makes me lack of sleep. And when I woke up an hour later he already gone, and he didn't appear in school the next day."

Yamamoto's release a small 'hmm' at him while he trying to think himself. But it's not like he have a good deduction skill outside of battlefield after all.

"But it was such a nice sleep! I even dreamed about sleeping in a pillow made of penguin's feather!" Tsuna say with a big smile on his face.

Yamamoto chuckling at his story, "Hahahaha, that sounds fun! But does penguin even have feathers?"

Tsuna blinked as he think about it too, "They do...aren't they?"

"Well, not like it matters anyway!" Yamamoto grinning as he open the door to the rooftop.

Tsuna was about to step out to the open space to follow him when his phone vibrating with unknown number calling him. Tsuna furrows for a moment before he cautiously picking it up. Usually he would ignore such calls, but his instinct tell him he should pick this up.

"Hello?"

"Jyuudaime! I'm really sorry that I didn't contact you for a few days! My phone didn't get any signal here!"

Tsuna blinked and then staring at the wall with widen eyes, while Yamamoto staring at him oddly from the door.

"Hayato?! Is that you?! Where are you right now?!"

Tsuna heard a noisy wind sound in the phone's background before he heard Gokudera answer. "I'm really sorry Jyuudaime! Currently I'm in South Pole!"

Tsuna blinked again, this time with his jaw opened wide when hearing the new information.

"South Pole?! What are you even doing there?!"

"I'm collecting Penguins feather to make a pillow for you! But it looks like it will took much time than I planned! So please expect me home by monday! Sorry, can't talk to you much longer Jyuudaime! Those penguins gonna migrate elsewhere soon! See you on Monday!"

"Eh?! Wait! What?! Hayato!"

and the phone was cut off.

Yamamoto just looking at his boss with curious as the said person stood still with his phone still glued to his ears. "Did I hear something about south pole just now?"

Finally recover from the shock, Tsuna staring at his phone with disbelief and then shocking his rain guardian by his sudden shout, "I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT HE WENT TO DAMN SOUTH POLE TO HUNT PENGUINS JUST BECAUSE I TALK IN MY SLEEP!"

A/N : This is supposed to be about Gokudera, but he didnt' even appear physically here :P Thanks to bukalay for giving me ideas for this chapter! And if you read manga QED, I think you might know where I get the penguins feather idea from :P
