Extra 2: With Hibari Kyouya and Reborn
Slender arms that promised strength rested on the metal railing, his back arching slightly forward in an attempt to gain a comfortable stance. The wind brushed off his black locks and his black gakuran danced along with the breeze. His patience was vastly diminishing already. If it wasn't him who asked to meet him, he wouldn't had have a second thought of biting him to death. Not that he had ever given anyone a second thought.
Immediately sensing a person's presence, Hibari whirled around, annoyed at the thought of someone making him wait. "You're late," he growled.
"Did you wait long, sweetheart?" cooed the other, making gestures of a flying kiss.
Hibari's hands itched to get his tonfas and bite this person to death, but he suppressed the urge, and instead scowled. "Just get on with it."
"Is that a way to treat a dear friend?" asked the newcomer, smirking.
"Since when did I acquire a dear friend?" he spat the last words. Hibari turned around and leant again on the railing.
Reborn walked over beside the prefect – though a few feet still distanced them – and leaned against the metal. The green chameleon resting on his fedora slowly descended from its place and was now positioned on the railing. He casually stroked the reptile and said, "You've taken a liking to him, haven't you?" When Hibari's response was only a questioning look, he added, "Sawada Tsunayoshi."
Hibari raised an eyebrow. "What gave you that absurd idea?"
"Maybe the fact that you agreed to go out with him despite being of the same sex?" replied Reborn sarcastically. "Have you forgotten the reason we made Vongola was for you to—"
"I don't believe you called me out here to preach," intervened the prefect, getting irritated.
"Just saying," Reborn shrugged off his tone, "although I'm not completely surprised. He is...let's say...unique. You don't see that kind of innocence and honesty around these days. A perfect match for you, who is so sweet and loving."
"I might as well leave if you're only going to spout nonsensical things." Hibari looked down; from his perspective, he had a perfect view of Namimori High's ground. He spotted a group of students who were smoking and desired to discipline them. Kusakabe, along with a few from the Disciplinary Committee, arrived and gave them a good beating. Satisfied, he drew his attention back to the other carnivore. "You're wasting my time, Reborn."
"Still as impatient as ever." Hibari watched as Reborn continued to stroke his pet, serving to vex him more. "Well, I can empathise, so I'll get directly to the point. You're interested in Sawada Tsunayoshi."
Hibari stayed silent, redirecting his gaze back to the ground. The baseball club appeared to be practicing. According to the school's calendar of activities, there was supposed to be a competition in the near future. Hibari didn't really care as long as they didn't break any rules. Finally, he answered, "Your previous answer doesn't quite satisfy my question. Vongola is supposed to accept any gender."
"Stop being such a smartass. I'm sure you're aware that you're an exception."
If the person talking to him wasn't Reborn, he'd long have bitten him to death. "Your ability to infuriate me is uncanny." Hibari scowled.
"So is your ability to amuse me." The other smirked.
"He is rather different, I suppose," he conceded. In fact, in his mind, Hibari was debating whether his lover was either foolish or brave. He decided on the former. Admittedly, he was slightly taken aback when the boy stopped him from beating the aggravating pineapple herbivore. Normally, people would run away at the sight of him, which he was definitely pleased because it meant no crowding.
"Indeed, he is," said Reborn.
Silence reigned. Hibari was faintly surprised at seeing the small brunet just exiting the building. Grey eyes followed the petite teen as he walked over to the silver-haired herbivore. The sky was already orange. He didn't recall his lover informing him of any late activity. Annoyed at the thought of Tsuna not telling him anything, he unconsciously clenched his hands.
"So the prey's still here." Reborn observed. "Well, you're fortunate Gokudera's object of affection is Yamamoto."
"I couldn't care less about those herbivores." Gokudera was now grabbing the brunet's collar. Hibari reminded himself to punish Gokudera the next time he sees him. Reason? The herbivore irked him, that's all. "Or Sawada Tsunayoshi," he added.
"Really now," Reborn's lips once more formed a smirk. "So I take it that it's alright for me to take him?"
"I never said that," said Hibari coolly. Sawada Tsunayoshi was his current prey. "I haven't forgotten what happened earlier," he growled, remembering the incident.
"So possessive already," said Reborn, amused. He raised his hand to his fedora, allowing the chameleon to return to its original place. He turned to leave after saying, "You still have two days left. I'll make my move then. Quite the predicament, though, we do always get what we want, but that's what makes it more exciting." With those words, he left the prefect.
All this time, Hibari never left his gaze on the brunet. Reborn was right. As much as Hibari loathed to admit it, that man was a carnivore, someone who he had acknowledged, and carnivores always get what they desire, no matter what, no matter who. And what the other carnivore had stated earlier was clearly a declaration of war. Yes, Hibari had accepted that Sawada Tsunayoshi was somewhat different, but he was still full of herbivorous qualities. Carnivores craved for strength which the brunet clearly has not even an ounce of.
Hibari noticed that the two on the ground already stood up. The baseball club seemed to be finished with practicing. He observed as the two herbivores parted ways. Hibari looked up, noting that the sky was darkening already. He frowned at the sky.
Didn't I tell him to go home before dark?
