"Yes Hibari-kun, I'm heading over right now," Yuuki said into her cell phone as she headed to the hospital.
"Hmmm, don't be late."
"Hai, hai," Yuuki hung up, stashing the phone back into her pant pocket.
The last few days were an… interesting experience for Yuuki.
A few days ago, Hibari had caught a cold and stayed over at Yuuki's place so that he could make Yuuki take care of him during his illness. Unfortunately, she wasn't able to completely be there for Hibari because of student council work, informant work, and some of Hibari's duties, since he was sick. Therefore, Hibari decided to admit himself into the hospital where he stayed for the past few days. Despite staying at a hospital filled with certified staffs, Hibari still got Yuuki to come over and nurse him back to health.
While she visited Hibari, Yuuki also planned on visiting Tsuna as well. You see, he has just been recently hospitalized because of injuries caused by Enzio during a training trip in the mountain with Dino. Yuuki wasn't there for the trip because she was too busy with taking care of Hibari to do so. Besides, the training was for Tsuna's Family only and she was just a Family ally.
Walking down the street, Yuuki took the time to enjoy the weather. Since it was the weekend, Yuuki was a bit lazy in her disguise, wearing only a loose, black, buttoned-up shirt and blue jean. By this point she didn't care if her sex was to get revealed. She had gained enough power that a decrease in followers wouldn't affect her. Likewise, who said that she couldn't seduce women as a female? She has the skills for it and her gene from her father made her look androgynous enough for the job. She was sure to succeed if she tries.
On her way to the hospital, Yuuki saw an injured person sitting on the side of the street. Yuuki tilted her head, a bit worried for the stranger. She walked up to the person and noticed that it was a young woman who looked to be around her mid-twenties. She also noticed that one of the woman's ankle was swollen. "Excuse me Miss, are you ok?" Yuuki asked as she helped the person up.
"Oh my, yes. Thank you for the help," the woman winced when she placed pressure on one of her feet. Yuuki slightly shifted, causing the woman to lean on Yuuki and taking off any pressure on her injured foot.
Yuuki frowned at the woman, slightly worried about her. "I may be no doctor, Miss, but it looks like you may have sprained your ankle. Here, let me take you to the hospital. I'm actually heading there myself."
"Oh! Thank you so much!" The woman smiled in thanks as Yuuki half-carried her to the hospital. When they got there, one of the nurse immediately spotted them.
"Ruka-san!" The nurse cried out, rushing towards the two. "What happened to you?"
"I tripped and twisted my ankle," the woman sheepishly admitted as the nurse fussed over her. Yuuki observed the interaction between two. They looked pretty close to one another.
"Do you work here?" Yuuki asked, coming to a conclusion.
"Oh, yes," the woman said as the nurse just realized that Yuuki was also there.
"Ah! Yuuki-san!"
"Huh? 'Yuuki-san'?" The woman looked questionably at the nurse. She was probably a newcomer if she hasn't heard about Yuuki's involvement with the hospital.
"Yuuki-san is one of the two people who helped keep the hospital functioning," the nurse explained.
"HUH!?" The woman gasped in surprised, stunned to find that the young 'boy' who helped her was actually so powerful. Dumbfounded, the woman didn't feel Yuuki passed her off to the nurse. Taking a step back, Yuuki examined the injured woman. She seemed petite for her age and her figure seemed to closely resemble Yuuki's…. An idea slowly brew in Yuuki's mind.
"Say, Ruka-san, was it?"
"Huh? I mean, yeah." The woman shook off her shock.
"Seeing how you will be unavailable today, can I borrow your uniform?"
The woman was taken-back by the request. "U-Uh, I-I mean-," the woman stuttered, confused on Yuuki's intentions for her uniform. Yuuki's intention was simple, in fact. She had wanted to have some fun and tease Hibari, perhaps even Tsuna if she sees him. If she was going to nurse Hibari, might as well go full out with the role.
"Of course, you can," the nurse interrupted her friend, saving her from any more blunder.
"Good," Yuuki cheerfully clapped her hands together. "I hope you get better soon."
With that, Yuuki walked away, leaving behind two dazed nurses. As she walked down the halls to the staff room, many of the staffs took note of her, but then nervously disregarded her when they saw who she was.
Arriving at her destination, Yuuki took out a key card that she has swiped from the injured lady during the trip to the hospital. She made a quick mental note to return the card after she finished using it. Unlocking the door, she entered the room where she headed over to Ruka's locker. Taking out Ruka's locker keys this time, Yuuki unlocked the metal lock on the door. Reaching inside, she took out the nurse uniform and got changed.
Once done, she walked to the floor-length mirror where she twisted and turned to make sure that nothing was out of place. There were some tight spots, but overall the uniform fits Yuuki quite nicely. The uniform was the typical pink dress that reaches the knees and a pink nurse hat. Satisfied that everything was in place, Yuuki headed to Hibari's room.
As she walked by both patients and doctors, some of them turned their heads and leered at the fake nurse. Yuuki ignored them, used to the attention. She had to wear worst outfits before and this was not the first time she was lecherously leered at. A sudden thought popped into Yuuki's head, causing her to suddenly smirk in amusement. Besides, most of them probably didn't realize that they were leering at Yuuki, not recognizing her because of her womanly figure. If they ever found out, she can only imagine what their reactions would be like. It was quite a humorous thought.
"Hey Hibari-kun, I've arrived. I hope you weren't too bored during your stay here," she said as she entered his room. She stopped by the door, taking in the pile of unconscious bodies lying in the corner of the room. Yuuki switched her gaze to Hibari who sat on his hospital bed, wearing his usual black pyjama and reading a book. He was looking a lot better than before. His complexion was more pink than pale and his eyes seemed to be less cloudy from sickness.
Hibari scoffed, not looking up from his book. "You were late and so I got bored. I decided to play a game with my roommates, but they were all so weak and so they were penalized."
"Is that so," Yuuki eyed the bodies. Well, at least they were already at the hospital. They wouldn't need to go far to get some medical help. Hibari took this moment to look up from his book, immediately zooming in on Yuuki's appearance.
"Whatare youwearing?" Hibari snarled when he saw the uniform.
"What?" Yuuki innocently blinked. She held out her arms out and gave a little twirl. "Do you not like it? Since I am your unofficial nurse I thought I need to at least dress like one."
There was a moment of silence as Hibari examined Yuuki, who stood calmly by the door. "You walked here in that?"
"Well, just down the halls from the staff room. Why? What's wrong?" Yuuki tilted her head. She could tell that something was bothering Hibari; his eyebrows were furrowed and his mouth was pulled into a frown. Yuuki may be aware that Hibari was upset, but she was oblivious to the surge of possessiveness Hibari felt when he realized that other people have seen her in such an outfit, especially ones that hugs her curvature figure. HE should be the only one to see her like this and the thought of some weak herbivores trying to take what was his made him feel murderous.
"Come here," Hibari beckoned to Yuuki.
Warily, Yuuki crept to Hibari. He was acting a bit strange. Sure, she did notice how Hibari was staring at her, but that was simply all, right? It couldn't be that he was ogling at her, was it? How would that be possible? Hibari barely took any notice of the opposite sex that she sometimes wondered if he was aiming for the other party.
Once Yuuki got within arms-length of Hibari, she was suddenly dragged onto the hospital bed. With precise maneuvering – making Yuuki slightly wonder if Hibari have done this before – Hibari pinned Yuuki's arms above her head and saddle her waist. At first Yuuki struggled, trying to get out of Hibari's grip, but then stopped when she heard Hibari growled at her in warning. His sharp gaze stared down at her from above. The intensity of his gaze caused her body to flush with heat, goosebumps forming on the exposed areas of her skin.
Hibari was filled with triumph and pride at having such a marvelous creature trapped underneath his frame. Her hair was slightly tousled, but it only added to her allure. The sensual flush of her body and the movement of her expanding chest teased his already short patience. He leaned forward with a certain intent in mind while Yuuki's breath hitched in anticipation.
They were so close now. Their forehead touched in a sort of tender embrace and their breaths mingled, swirling in an invisible dance. They can feel each other's heat emitting from their bodies, flushing their bodies even further. Their eyes stayed locked to one another, diving into the other's soul.
Unfortunately – "Pardon me," – an oblivious teen interrupted the moment, disbursing the previous tension, and preventing whatever action from happening. While leaning heavily on his crutches, a bandaged Tsuna froze by the doorway, in shock by the scene he protruded upon. Hibari and Yuuki turned their heads to the side, still fixed in their positions. The tension was gone and all that was left was the strange feeling of awkwardness and hilarity from the situation.
"Oh! Hello, Tsuna-kun," Yuuki cheerfully greeted, acting as though she wasn't being pinned down by Hibari. If she had her hands free, she would have waved at the boy for further comical effect. Tsuna could only stuttered, flabbergasted. He could not express the storm of emotions he was currently feeling.
Hibari turned his head away and clicked his tongue in disappointment. Huffing, Hibari finally got off of Yuuki and sat on the edge of his bed. Hibari sat with his arms crossed while Yuuki got up and stretched. If she didn't know any better, she would have thought that the skylark was pouting from the interruption.
Finally getting control of his tongue, Tsuna stuttered, "Y-Yuuki-senpai!? H-Hibari-san!? N-No way! Why are you here?!"
Tsuna also wanted to know why they were in such a position when he arrived, but felt that his life would be in peril if he questioned them. He was already injured enough, he did not want to make it any worst. That was when Tsuna took notice of Yuuki's outfit and blushed. This was the first time the boy saw the president in such feminine clothing.
Seeing Tsuna's blush, Yuuki secretly smirked and scooted to the edge of the bed. From there, she alluringly crossed her legs, teasing the poor boy further. Noting the exchange, Hibari frowned and narrowed his eyes in a glare.
"I caught a little cold," he stated, drawing Tsuna's attention away from the woman beside him. "I've almost recovered, but I wanted to play it safe."
"I'm his unofficial nurse, hence the outfit," Yuuki gestured to her clothing.
"I-I see…" Tsuna said, feeling a bit stressed by the situation he was in. All he wanted was to rest and get better from his injuries, but all he got were visits from troublesome people in his life. Despite the trouble his friends have caused, he wouldn't trade it for the world. Compared to his old life, he would much rather be where he was now.
"Huh?" Something caught his attention. He turned his head to see the pile of unconscious patients. "Ah! What happened to them?!"
"Oh, that?" Hibari had forgotten about them. "I was playing a game to kill time, but they were too weak. It's a game I make anyone who rooms with me play. The rules are simple. If you make the slightest noise while I'm sleeping..." He wiped out his tonfa. "Kamikorosu (I'll bite you to death/I'll tear you apart)."
The tonfa glint dangerous in the sun's rays and Tsuna could only gawked in shock by the absurdity of the rules.
"How is this even a hospital?" Tsuna shouted. Unperturbed by Hibari's answer, Yuuki hopped off the bed and smoothed out the wrinkles of her dress. Walking to the other side of the bed, Yuuki carried over a cushioned chair and set it beside Hibari's bed. The comfortable chair was brought into the room some time after the staffs have found out about Yuuki's regular visits to Hibari's room.
Plopping down while being mindful of the dress, she mused to herself, "As fun as it is to tease others, I can't wait to get out of this uniform. I rather strike fear in people than have them leer at me. Such perverts."
Hibari twitched, hearing her comments. It looked like he got some disciplining to do once he discharged from the hospital. Each person in the room was lost in their own personal thoughts. Tsuna's were filled with internal turmoil laced with fear – he was mentally panicking. He needed to get out of here. How could a hospital let this sort of thing happen? He rather stay at home where he was safe than here at the hospital.
"H-hey, I feel better now. I don't need to be hospitalized anymore." Tsuna tried to reason, attempting to leave, but a tall, bulky man blocked his way.
"That is not possible. You need the doctor's permission." The man barged into the room and carelessly bulldozed Tsuna to the ground.
"Ah, Director-san!" Yuuki waved in greeting.
"Hey, Director," Hibari nonchalantly greeted.
"Eh? D-Director!?"
"How's it going?"
"Is everything alright?" Yuuki asked. The director doesn't typically visit them unless he needed help with something.
"Yes! Everything's fine! It's thanks to Hibari-kun and Yuuki-kun that we're able to operate our hospital without worry." The man gave a deep bow in appreciation. Tsuna could only look at Hibari and Yuuki in shock. Not only did they got control of the school and the police force, they also have the hospital under their command! What else?! The country?! The world?! "While you're here, please let us know if there's anything you need. We'll take care of it right away."
"For now, I think I'll sleep," Hibari announced before yawning. The yawn seemed to be infectious as the young informant too gave a deep yawn. Feeling drowsy from the yawn, Yuuki rubbed her eyes while Hibari laid down onto his bed.
"I'll be going then," the director bowed before leaving the room.
"Me too!" Tsuna cried, snapping out of his shock as he crawled after the director. The door slammed shut in his face. The heavy sound affirming his death sentence.
"Just to warn you, the sound of a leaf falling is enough to wake me up," Hibari warned, his eyes already shut. Yuuki followed suit, snuggling into the cushioned chair. Assuming that she was playing as well, she might as well sleep since it would cause the least amount of noise than being awake and moving around.
What?! No way! The game started already? What should I do?! Terrified, Tsuna moved with great caution, struggling to not make a single sound. Carefully he headed over to one of the unoccupied beds. I guess I'll just stay quiet… He almost knocked over a vase during his journey, but managed to save it in time. That was close… I've got to be more careful. What should I do?
Then the door of the room silently slid open. Who's there? Scared, Tsuna turned to the door where he saw I-pin peaking inside. I-pin?! B-Be a good girl and leave. He tried to shoo the girl away, but only managing a weird dance because of his bandaged arms and leg. Then Lambo peaked in, giving Tsuna a mischievous grin. The obnoxious kid's here! Tsuna mentally screamed in worry. Shh! Don't make a sound! Tsuna mimed to the kids. He's scary if you wake him up! Go play quietly somewhere else!
Yuuki peaked open an eye, watching Tsuna move in slight confusion. What was he doing….? Mentally shrugging off Tsuna's weird behavior, Yuuki closed her eye to go back to sleep.
Lambo stared at Tsuna before nodding, indicating that he understood his message. Great, he understood. Tsuna closed his eyes and silently sighed in relief. Unknowingly to Tsuna, Lambo reached into his afro and took out a pink hand grenade. Hearing the movement, Tsuna opened his eyes to see Lambo pointing to the grenade in his hand.
"Boom?" Lambo whispered as he pulled out the safety pin with a cheeky smile.
Horrified, Tsuna charged forward, mentally screaming, Nooooooooooo! Tackling the child, Tsuna belly-slide across the floor and out into the hallway. Grabbing the grenade, Tsuna rushed to the nearest window where he threw away the bomb, just in time for it to explode. Tsuna panted in exhaustion before turning to scold the boy. "Lambo, how could you?! If we make noise in that room, something terrifying will happen!"
"Why?" Lambo innocently asked.
"There's a scary guy in there." Before he could continue his scolding, Tsuna noticed I-pin standing outside of Hibari's room. "I-pin, why are you just standing there?"
Then he saw the images on I-pin's forehead. "That's the countdown for the Mahjong Mega Bomb! No way! Why? There's nothing to make her embarrassed…"
"I-pin's heart pounding. Heart rate rising," I-pin drooled, blushing. Her eyes have turned hearts as she gazed at the sleeping Hibari.
"Oh, right! I-pin has a crush on Hibari-san!" Tsuna realized.
Oh no! Tsuna hastily hopped over and snatched up I-pin. Similar to the hand grenade, Tsuna quickly hopped over to the window and threw I-pin away where she exploded. The loud explosion surprised those in the area, but luckily it didn't wake up Hibari. Unfortunately, as Tsuna checked to see if Hibari was awake, he saw a rose petal broke off from the flower and fell onto the desk. Instantly Hibari's eyes snapped open and flickered to the side. Sliding out of his bed, Hibari got up and took out his tonfa. With a dark, grumpy look on his face, went to deliver the penalty for losing the game.
Flicking an eye open, Yuuki watched for a bit before curling back into ball and going back to sleep. She felt a bit responsible for Tsuna's failure. It wasn't his fault that the flowers she bought for Hibari have finally decided to start wilting. Perhaps she should send him a fruit basket as an apology.

New York, America
The moon shone bright on this partial cloudy night. Patches of cloud shielded the moon, casting large shadows across the American soil and basking the land into darkness. In the countryside, the night brought peace and soft whispers of night's melodies while the cities became bursting with activities. Bright, artificial lights lit up the area, casting away the majestic view of the stars. People bustled around their man-made domain, oblivious to the wonders of nature and the hidden predators that watched their every movements.
Up high on the rooftop of one of the many skyscrapers, stood four figures. The features of these figures were concealed by dark, black capes that blend into the limited moonlit night. They stood tall and proud, gazing over the crowd of humans, mingling together on the streets.
Humans are faulty creatures, mostly following the obscure rules of society and rarely thinking outside of the box. All they see are what is ahead of them, never stopping to take in the moment and to look around. Maybe if they did take the time to look up, they would have seen the shadowy figures on top of the building, but regrettably, they didn't. Thus, leaving the existence of the four figures hidden from the population's awareness.
The group was silent, enjoying the small, cool breeze that blew exclusively in the high altitude. That silence was soon broken though by the tallest figure of the group.
"Is everything prepared?" A masculine voice emitted from within the depth of the cape.
One of the remaining figures stepped forward to address the taller person. "Yes, everything is set and ready. We can leave at any time. " The figure paused. Its voice was also masculine, but held a more soft, intellectual tone than the first.
Sensing the uncertain pause, the first voice asked, "Well? What is it?"
The figure spoke slowly and clearly so that everyone could comprehend this important message. "I also got some intel on Yuuki. I know where she is."
"What?! Where is she?!" The first voice sound surprised as the figure whipped around to face the others.
"Namimori, Japan."
"Japan!"
"We should have known," a third voice entered the conversation. "I'm assuming there's a reason for her stay? Was it to stay closer to the clan?"
"No, she has another reason to move to Japan," the second voice said. The cape fluttered from movement before the figure took out a picture. With the unconcealed parts of the moon as a light source, the others examined the photograph.
A particularly strong breeze blew, blowing away the clouds and illuminating the night with strong rays of moonlight. For a quick second, the light hit the group at a certain angle, revealing the lower face of the tallest figure. On the figure's face was a predatory smirk. "Finally, we found her. It's about time we go join her, yes?"
The rest nodded their head while the figure gave a low chuckle in sheer happiness. They have long waited for this moment. They were all so lonely during the past months, missing her everlasting presence. Now, it was time; time to go back to where they belong – by her side.
A cloud blocked the moon for a quick second, blanketing the roof into darkness. When the roof was illuminated again, the four figures were gone. The only trace that they were ever there was the slip of paper lying on the roof forgotten by the four figures. The paper was a photo of a boy with spiked-up, brown hair and on the boy's shoulder was a nicely-dressed infant.
