It was a normal day at Nami-chuu; the sun was shining brightly; flowers were fully bloomed, showing off their vibrant colors; and the birds were all out dancing with their respective flocks. Students were all mingling around school with their friends and classmate, continuing their mundane life of education.
Yes, just a normal, peaceful day…
Or at least, it was supposed to be, but a loud cry disturbed that peace.
"WHAT?!" Yuuki shouted in her cellphone as she leaped off the reception room's sofa. "Why didn't you call me sooner, Okaa-san (Mother)?!"
Hibari looked up from his desk and regarded the slightly panic-stricken girl with a raised eyebrow, more curious than annoyed by her outburst. Yuuki was not the type of person who normally lose her composure like that and so her outburst was quite a bit of a surprise. It made Hibari wonder what could have caused it.
"Sorry I couldn't tell you sooner, sweetie, but the Clan has been flushed with many requests recently because of the inheritance issues within the Vongola Family. The issuing of the next boss have caused a ripple effect to happen in the underworld. You know how it typically goes: Family allies wanting information about the next boss or low-ranked Families grabbing this opportunity to climb up the power chain," the apologetic tone of Yuuki's mother's voice emitted from the phone.
"No, no, I understand," Yuuki sighed, her shoulders drooping in defeat. "I just wished Fuuta-kun called me before coming here. I would have protected him or at least, send him an escort."
"He must have his reasons, dear."
"Yeah, I know," and truly, Yuuki was aware of this fact. She knew that despite being capable of helping the boy, she may not have the top rankings of qualities needed to be his protector.
Likewise, she has an inkling on where he may have possibly went to for shelter. It was not much of a surprise, but recently, after Tsuna was declared the next Vongola Boss, everything mafia-related seemed to be revolving around him somehow.
As she said, not that surprising since the Vongola family was practically the center-piece of the mafia world.
Yuuki knew that Fuuta would be safe in Tsuna's hands, especially with Reborn being there, but she still can't help but be worried about the young boy. The morning weather channel have announced that it was going to rain today and she hoped that Fuuta was able to find Tsuna in time before he becomes vulnerable to attacks.
"Is everything okay over there?" Yuuki asked, having heard muffled clatters in the background.
"Everything is perfect, sweetie. I just have to go help your father now. It seems like he needs me for something."
"Oh, ok. Love you, ma."
"I love you too. Don't forget to rest now and then."
"Hai," with that Yuuki ended her call.
"What's wrong?" Hibari asked, pausing on his paperwork. Yuuki turned to Hibari with a brooding look on her face. She gave a sigh, slightly biting her lip in worry.
"Someone I know is coming to Namimori and there might be some troublemakers following him – don't worry they will be handled," Yuuki quickly assured, noticing Hibari's look. "This person is a young boy named Fuuta and he's an informant like me. He is known as Ranking Fuuta in the mafia world who specializes in 100% accurate rankings. With his Book of Ranking which holds all of his recorded rankings, a person can rule over the world. Therefore, he tends to get targeted by a lot of people."
Yuuki could see the merits of Fuuta's ability, but what confuses her was the fight over the boy's Book of Ranking. It wasn't like rankings are fixed or anything. Just like with information and intel, the rankings are malleable and can change. That was why you can find Fuuta updating his books quite a bit. Therefore, why go for a book of potentially inaccurate or old information and not Fuuta for his ability?
As she mentioned before, she can see the merit of getting the book over Fuuta, but wouldn't it be better to target the boy instead?
Hibari scoffed, bringing Yuuki back into focus. "Rankings to get to the top, huh?"
Unlike the rest of the world, Hibari didn't seem convinced by the idea. Replying on such information was cowardly and those dependent on such information were weak in Hibari's eyes. His thought process was a bit similar to Yuuki's. Relying on a ranking system for qualities like strength and weaknesses was stupid. Things can change depending on the time or even the context.
For example, a person may be in the top ranking for fear of spiders, but they can overcome that fear. They can overcome that fear permanently and thus changing their ranking. Or they can overcome that fear temporarily and thus not change their ranking since it is most likely situational-based and does not change the fear overall.
Another clear example would be Tsuna. Tsuna is overall weak, but once he is hit with the Dying-will bullet, he temporarily gains a surge of power. This does not change his overall strength which in turn will not change his ranking of being weak.
Don't misunderstand though. Hibari was not doubting the accuracy of information. He was intelligent enough to see the potential in it, especially if the information was apparently 100% accurate, but would he use it?
No, he was not like those herbivores who felt the need to rely on rankings to dictate his decisions. The concepts of rankings was lacking in theory since, not only do you have cross-reference a lot of rankings to get a clear profile of a target, but also that piece of information is only a comparison with others and nothing else.
Hibari would preferred to have more detailed information than simply a ranking. Therefore, he was quite content to have Yuuki as an informant. Her reports were typically detailed with all the information that he requested along with a bit of extra information that was proved to be useful to Hibari.
Yes, having Yuuki by his side was good enough for him.
"Anyway," Yuuki said, packing up her things. "I'm going to leave early to go check up on Fuuta-kun and possibly," Yuuki's eyes glisten with untold promises, "discipline some people as well."
Hibari observed the cross-dressing girl as her body emitted murderous intent while seemingly to be lost in thought. He knew how vicious Yuuki can get when it came to younger children, especially towards those she liked. It was a motherly instinct she seemed to have and it was exciting to see her like this – more carnivorous and less herbivore-like. She was like a female predator getting ready to protect her young.
"I'll keep you posted," Yuuki snapped back to reality as she waved goodbye to Hibari before heading off to Tsuna's house.

Luck doesn't seem to be on her side today for halfway through the journey, it began to rain heavily, causing Yuuki to immediately take shelter. Shuffling in her spot and biting her lip with worry, Yuuki waited for the rain to stop.
She knows that rain were simply drops of water and it would not harm her to bear through the rain, but for one, despite her unnecessary worry, it was not an urgent matter for her to find Fuuta. Additionally, the main reason she was actually avoiding the rain was because she didn't want to get soak and possibly sick from it. She can't afford to get sick, especially not with the state her body was currently in.
So, she stood in her shelter, waiting anxiously for the rain to end. Luckily, it didn't go on for the whole day and it eventually stopped once the sun begin to set.
As soon it was confirmed that the rain have fully stopped, Yuuki immediately resumed her trek over to Tsuna's place. As she headed over, she suddenly heard some ruckus nearby and by the sound of it, it seemed to be caused by a large group. Turning her head to the side, Yuuki saw Gokudera and Yamamoto with a green, rolled-up rug running by on the street beside hers, along with a group of suited men following after them.
With a quick scan of the rolled-up rug, Yuuki immediately knew that the person inside was not Fuuta. There were signs on the rug indicating that the person inside was about 156cm tall – much taller than Fuuta's 123cm.
Frowning, Yuuki knew that she needed to move a bit more quickly in order to find Fuuta. Deciding to take some drastic measure, Yuuki scaled up the side of one of the neighborhood houses and started to parkour along the roofs, pausing now and then to see if she could locate either Tsuna or Fuuta.
Fortunately it didn't take long for her to sight them. They were at a nearby neighborhood playground, in slight trouble as they were currently surrounded by some of their pursuers. Despite being a bit worried, Yuuki was overall calm about the situation because not only did she spotted Tsuna and Fuuta, but she also caught sight of Reborn on a nearby pillar with his handy sniper posed and ready to fire.
True to form, just as Yuuki dropped down from the roof to run in the street, she got a glimpse of Tsuna transforming into his Re-Born state in a nick of time to fight off the mafia men. Feeling a bit more relieved that Fuuta was being protected, Yuuki continued her trip over to the playground.
Meanwhile, as Yuuki made her way towards the two boys, the two were facing their own individual problems. Tsuna was able to fight back against the minions despite the clear difference in strength in the beginning while Fuuta, for the first time ever, has discovered that his rankings were not perfect and they were proven wrong by the show of Tsuna's increased strength.
This so-called-miracle can be explained by Tsuna's strong Dying-Will and the use of the Dying-Will bullet which convert that strong will into strength for Tsuna. Ultimately, because of this, Tsuna was able to defeat the mafia men and thus bringing the conflict to an end.
Seeing how Tsuna managed to thwart the young boy's predictions, Fuuta decided to stay with Tsuna to observed him further while Tsuna, being the type of person he was, was unable to deny the boy's request.
"Fuuta-kun, Tsuna-kun," Yuuki called out, running toward the two boys.
"Eh?! Yuuki-senpai," Tsuna exclaimed, surprised to see her.
"Why didn't you call me?" Yuuki asked Fuuta, once she stopped in front of the two. She started to fuss over the younger boy, checking to see if he was injured or not. Yuuki's behavior astounded Tsuna. This was the first time he saw such a concerned look from Yuuki. Most of the time, when the worry was directed towards the other students, it was less authentic and more cold than anything.
"Wha?! Yuuki-senpai, you know Fuuta?"
"Yuuki-nee ranked 150th in those who loved children and ranked 6th out of 856 informants in the underworld," Fuuta sprouted off. Tsuna was surprised. He didn't know Yuuki like kids.
"A lot of informants tends to know each other, especially between infamous ones," Yuuki explained. "Fuuta-kun even has a small alliance with the Mugen clan. We first met during one of his visits to the compound."
"Wow." It did make sense to Tsuna. The two had the same occupation and so they would at least knew each other.
"Fuuta-kun, why didn't you tell me you were arriving? I could have protected you," Yuuki asked, looking a bit disheartened with the boy.
"I'm sorry, Yuuki-nee," Fuuta guiltily looked down to the ground. "I know your ranking is high when it comes to loyalty and protectiveness towards loved one, but you're also high in busyness as well and I don't want to bother you. Besides," the boy perked up, "Tsuna-nii ranked first in people who can't refuse requests and in bosses who lacked ambition! So, I knew it was ok to look for Tsuna-nii for help!"
Yuuki looked at Fuuta with interest. She didn't know that Tsuna ranked first in those two categories – that was actually quite amazing, being ranked first – but she shouldn't be surprised that she didn't know, it has been a while since she last looked at Fuuta's rankings.
Moreover, Fuuta's explanation did make a good point and so she can't really fault him for going to Tsuna for protection. Even though she said that, she was still a bit jealous that Fuuta went looking for Tsuna and not her. She will just have to enact her revenge indirectly by bringing more misery into Tsuna's already tormented life.
A shiver shot down Tsuna's back as he was suddenly struck with fear for his life. He didn't know where this sense of danger was coming from, but he anticipated that his life has just gotten a lot more painful.

Winter season quickly arrived, bringing along with it layers of snow. With the amount of snow layering every visible surface area, there was a guarantee that at some part of the town there will be a snowball fight. For today, that fortunate place was Nami-chu.
Within the void of the school building, sat one lone figure inside the student council room. This figure was Yuuki who sat on the room's couch bundled in blankets to counter the cold temperature of winter. On the coffee table in front of her was a nice, hot, steaming mug of cocoa to further provide warmth to Yuuki as she looked over some documents.
Minutes passed by as Yuuki took occasional sips of her hot beverage.
Eventually, she placed the beverage and papers down onto the coffee table, deeming it about time for her guests to arrive. Taking out her pocket watch to check the time, her assumption proved to be correct.
Humming in thought, she put away her watch and got off the couch. Heading over to her desk, she to put on her long, black, winter trench coat before stuffing multiples of hot packs in between each layer of clothing.
It may seem a bit excessive, the amount of hot packs she uses, but it was either this or wearing multiple layers of winter clothing. Why go far to such extreme measures? Mainly, her health. She briefly mentioned it before but she can't afford being sick.
Once she was satisfied with arrangement of the packets, Yuuki finished her outfit off by tying a white and black scarf around her neck and putting on some white earmuffs with polar bear ears on them.
Ready to go meet up with the others, Yuuki grabbed a bag filled with scarves, her CompC, and a canteen of hot, green tea before heading outside.
If it wasn't obvious already, her guests were Tsuna and his group. Apparently, they were going to be having a snowball fight and Yuuki was invited by Reborn to help him referee the match. Yuuki have also decided to use this opportunity to assess and update the group's profiles in the Mugen's database.
Snow crunched underneath her feet, as she made her way toward the group. By the time she got there, the group were already split into two teams. The first was the East Troop which consisted of Tsuna, Yamamoto, I-pin, and Fuuta while the West Troop had Dino, Gokudera, Ryouhei, and Lambo.
"Courtesy of Yuuki, the East Troop will wear white scarves while the West Troop wear red scarves," a samurai-dressed Reborn announced as Yuuki made her appearance by strolling up from behind him.
"Yuuki-senpai?!"
"Yuuki-sama, ohayou!"
"Sup, Yuuki-kun."
"AWESOME! Yuuki-kun is here to join the fight!"
"Yo, Kaichou, you're here for the snowball fight?"
"Unfortunately not, Yamamoto-kun. I'm actually here to help assist Reborn with the competition," Yuuki started to distribute the scarves to the corresponding teams.
"Hold on, Reborn! Why am I, the right-hand man, not on the boss's team?!" Gokudera complained. "I can't accept this!"
"It's…"
"Please explain!"
"A mystery."
"You stayed up all night to make these teams and they still don't make sense?" Gokudera stressed, looking at Reborn in disbelief. Yuuki simply chuckled, knowing that Reborn was up to his no-good-self again.
"There will be special rules just for today," Reborn said. "The object is to capture Leon."
Leon came out from behind Reborn's shoulders and jumped toward Yuuki. Yuuki started, unprepared for Leon's sudden action. Luckily, with her fast reflexes, she safely caught the green chameleon. Once the chameleon landed on her palms, he turned into a Leon-ball which was basically a green ball with his face on it.
"Oh, how cute," Yuuki gushed, snuggling with the ball.
"Both teams will battle for thirty minutes to capture this Turbo Leon ball. The team in possession of Turbo Leon after the time's up will be the winner."
"That sound fun," Yamamoto said.
"Yeah, sure does," Dino agreed.
"I'm going to win at all costs!" You can probably guess who this was. Ryouhei punched the air, hyped up for the competition.
"I-pin and the East team are guaranteed victory!" I-pin cried.
"Lambo-san won't lose!" Lambo said, after seeing how pumped-up I-pin was. He did not want to lose to I-pin in terms of fighting spirit.
"There's no limit to the number of snowball hits you can take, but if you're knocked out, you're out of the game," Reborn said while Yuuki took out her pocket watch, still holding Leon with her other hand. "Okay, start making snowballs and bunkers. We'll begin in thirty minutes."
"Yeah!" Everyone, but Tsuna cheered, pumped up for the fight.
While everyone went to build their snow fort, Yuuki brought Leon to the middle of the field where she built a snow pedestal for him. After placing the ball down, Yuuki went over to the side where she created a small snow stage for Reborn and her. Once the thirty minutes was up, each team crouched behind their respective fort, waiting or the signal.
"Okay, let's begin!" Yuuki shouted while Reborn blew into a conch shell. Yuuki stood beside Reborn with her CompC – folded into its tablet form along with its own stylus pen – in hand and watched as the match begin.
At first no one moved, the wind blowing through the empty field, emphasizing the tension that was there. It looked to be some sort of stalemate, but then Ryouhei suddenly sprang out of his team's fort and charged forward, surprising everyone including his teammates.
"There will be no victory without an extreme attack," he yelled as he went for Leon. Yamamoto took the first counterattack by throwing a snowball using his famous pitch. Unfortunately, it was no match for Ryouhei who simply punched the snowball, obliterating it. This both surprised and amazed everyone. Yuuki hummed, writing down the display on her CompC. Occasionally, she would pause in her writing and take quick photos or videos of the occurrence for future preference and evidence.
Back to the battle, Yamamoto did not give up with his assault as he sent out even more snowballs projectiles. Furiously, Ryouhei attacked the snowballs, destroying each and every one of them. "Yamamoto's speed is going up with each throw," Reborn remarked as he used an advanced speed radar gun. Yuuki looked over Reborn's shoulders and took note of each increase of speed. "And Ryouhei's counters are impressive too."
Tsuna and Fuuta attempted to help Yamamoto out by throwing their own snowballs, but it seemed to have little effects on Ryouhei. Seeing how her team was in trouble, I-pin charged forward while Ryouhei was occupied with the snowballs. Dino attempted to stopped her by throwing a snowball, but his aim was completely off. Instead it hit Gokudera who was crouching beside him.
Still a klutz when his subordinates are not here, Yuuki wrote into her makeshift tablet.
Despite being angry with Dino, it was Gokudera's turn to help out his teammates. Throwing multiple snowballs like he does with his dynamites, they all headed toward I-pin. The snowballs all collided around I-pin and the area exploded into a large cloud of snow particles. Everyone was worried for I-pin, but then the snow cleared showing that I-pin was fine because she has used her Gyoza Kempo to deflect the snow.
At first, everything seemed fine for the East team, but then the Gyoza Kempo' essence started to move downwind to the East team and causing them to suffer from the smell. Ryouhei decided to take this opportunity to charge forward, along with I-pin.
The two of them jumped, arms reached-out for Leon. Before any of them could get it though, dynamites were thrown at the snow pedestal, blasting I-pin and Ryouhei away. Ryouhei managed to land ok, but the explosion has destroyed the pedestal and blew away the gyoza essence scent.
Where did the explosion come from? It seems that Gokudera has changed sides, declaring that his spy work was finished. This immediately brought on a reaction from Yuuki. Her head snapped to side as she coughed, trying to prevent the bubbling laughter from escaping. His great devotion to Tsuna seemed to cause Gokudera to react in such comical ways.
"Then we will too!" Three voices rang out as three men sprang out of the snow-layered ground. The three men were Dino's subordinates. "We will… protect our boss!"
"It might be just a game, but our boss mustn't lose!" Romario said, as he and the other men shivered.
"Man, I'm freezing."
"How long were you guys under there?" Dino exclaimed, sweat-dropping.
"Maaa, everything's all mixed up now!" Tsuna gripped his hair as he stood up from his team's fort.
"I'm back, Juudaime!" Gokudera cheerfully greeted, slightly shoving Yamamoto aside.
"Are you going to allow this, ref?" Tsuna asked as Gokudera got rid of his red scarf and changed it to a white one.
"Yep. It's as I predicted," Reborn said while Yuuki was off to the side, slouched and turned away from the others. She was gripping her CompC to her chest in one hand while the other was clamped over her mouth to prevent away sounds from escaping. Her whole body trembled with laughter. It has been a while she had this much fun.
"You're toying with us again, aren't you," Tsuna sweat-dropped in defeat, sending Yuuki a quick glance of concern.
"So, it's the Chiavarone against the Vongola, huh," Gokudera smirked, taking out his dynamites. "That makes this simple. Die!"
Gokudera threw his bomb at Dino. Tsuna could only watch in disbelief, "This has gone from a snowball fight into a Mafia war!"
"Go ahead, Hurricane Bomb," Dino jumped over his fort and whipped out his bullwhip. Now that his men were there, he was able to use his whip proficiently. With his whip, he hurled snowballs at I-pin, stopping her in her tracks, and then he extinguished the fuse on the air-borne dynamites.
When Dino was about to capture Leon, he was stopped by the appearance of Bianchi. She was upset that the group was having fun without her. Alongside her were I-pin and Lambo who both seemed to be hypnotized by her poison cooking. With the three of them, they became the Poison Beef Fried Rice Gang.
"Ciaossu," Reborn welcomed.
"Hello," Yuuki waved.
"Hi Reborn, Yuuki," Bianchi greeted back. She was slightly sulking for not being invited for the snowball fight. It was then revealed that I-pin and Lambo were not joining Bianchi because of her poison cooking, they were simply threatened by the lady to join or die.
Yuuki coughed in amusement while Yamamoto laughed, "That's hilarious."
He didn't seem all too scared by the situation. Gokudera on the other hand seemed to be doing fine despite his sister being there. So Gokudera-kun is fine as long as Bianchi's face is covered, huh, Yuuki thought, writing down that piece of information into her CompC.
"Since we have three teams now, we'll have to change the rule," Reborn said, appearing before Tsuna in a different outfit. He has changed his outfit into a caveman. Was he not cold? Nevermind, it was Reborn they were talking about here.
While Reborn talked, Yuuki went over to retrieve Leon. "We'll start by adjusting the teams. We'll put both Dino's Chiavarone Team and Tsuna's Vongola Team against the Poison Beef fried Rice Gang. You'll still be fighting for Turbo Leon, but you'll win the moment you catch him. This time, however, Turbo Leon will be on the move."
With that, Yuuki stood beside Reborn with Leon in hands as the chameleon turned into a mini race car. This form of his was also adorable. Yuuki smiled, internally gushing at the chameleon's cuteness. "All right then, let's begin round two!"
Yuuki placed the car onto the ground where it immediately zoomed off, its little exhaust pipes flaming. This jumpstart the teams into action. While Dino's group ran, one of his men was suddenly hit by a purple snowball. When that man turned around to see who it was, he was knocked out by another one.
"Ivan!" Dino cried out. He took a step forward to confront the attacker.
"No, boss!" One of the other men shouted as he blocked Dino from taking another step further. "You must focus on Turbo Leon. Don't let Ivan's sacrifice be in vain!"
"Ivan..." Dino closed his eyes, pained by the difficult decision he had to make. "Let's go! Bono! Romario!"
"Yeah!" The three of them left, abandoning the unconscious Ivan in the snow. Yuuki knew it was supposed to be a touching moment, but all she could do was snicker, finding the scene to be more humorous than anything.
Bianchi's team threw poison snowballs at Dino's team, causing them to stop and retaliate. Tsuna's group took this opportunity to try and capture Leon. Sadly, they were noticed by the other groups, causing them to redirect their attacks onto Tsuna's team.
Fortunately for the team, the attacks were blocked by Fuuta who suddenly went into his ranking state. He couldn't stop his urge to do everyone's rankings, especially when everyone was already present. With Fuuta's help, they devised a plan for Fuuta's shield and Gokudera's firepower to hold the enemies back while Yamamoto, who was the fastest of the group, chase after Leon.
Following the plan, Gokudera threw his 'double bomb' to the team, knocking out Lambo and the rest of Dino's men. The motor car Leon zoomed towards the school and up one of the outdoor stairways. Yamamoto went to get it, but he was not the only one. Dino chased after him and eventually took the lead.
The two raced up the stairs, but since Dino's men weren't around, Dino slipped up, causing him to trip and roll down the stairs. Somehow his fall caused snow to surround him and quickly transformed him into a giant snowball which gain mass as it rolled down the stairs. Yamamoto tried to escape, but got caught in the end. Since they were both immobilized, they were out of the game.
Believing that they were going to win, Bianchi's team chased after Leon. However, they soon stopped when they saw Enzio peeping out of the snow. With quick thinking, I-pin threw the turtle away, but Enzio boomeranged back into the snow and grew gigantic. The turtle roared as he stood on his hind legs.
Worried for her little brother's safety, Bianchi darted to Gokudera, yelling at him to move. During her ran, she lifted up her googles to see better. Unfortunately, this caused Gokudera's illness to resurrect, rendering him unconscious and out of the game.
Since Enzio was supposed to be hibernated during the season, the turtle stood asleep on his feet. He didn't stay that way for long though and he soon toppled over the rest of the team, causing Tsuna to be the only one left in the game.
Seeing Leon zooming passed him, Tsuna chased after the chameleon, unsure whether he should be the one to catch the lizard. It felt a bit unfair that he – the single person who basically did nothing during the battle – was the one to essentially gain glory of bringing victory to his team. Before he could catch Leon though, he tripped.
"Oh!" Yuuki perked up as she saw someone enter the field.
"Huh?" Tsuna muttered as he got up. He looked up to see Hibari-san with Leon in his hand. "H-Hibari?"
"What is this?" Hibari asked. Yuuki walked over to the two while placing her CompC away. Since it looked like the game was over, she doesn't need it anymore. Hibari turned to the side as he noticed Enzio. "And what is that giant turtle?"
"This is Turbo Leon. Isn't he cute," Yuuki grinned, pointing to the chameleon in his hand. "That," she pointed to Enzio, "is Enzio, a specie of sponge turtle. Like its name, the turtle will grow if you add water and shrink if you dry it."
"Oh?" Hibari said as he looked at Yuuki. She seemed much more happy than usual. Did something good happen?
"Ano, why are you here on a Sunday?" Tsuna asked Hibari.
The skylark glanced over at Tsuna. "We had a splendid snowfall. I've been itching for a snowball fight."
This surprised Tsuna, "You too, Hibari-san?!" He did not think Hibari was the type of person to be into these sorts of things.
"I figured I'd pound anyone who happened to be here." Ah, that made more sense.
Why doesn't the cops arrest this guy?! Tsuna thought before remembering, Oh, because Yuuki has control over them and would probably bail Hibari-san out like how she did with me.
Poor Leon was sweating buckets, terrified of Hibari. With only a look from Hibari, the chameleon swiftly turned into his ball form. "There must be a reason we met here. I'll make you my target today."
"Huh?! N-No way!" Tsuna waved his hands in surrender. "You're going to throw Leon at me?!"
Hibari walked closer to Tsuna, the snow crunching with each step. Tsuna cowered in fear, his knees growing weak until it couldn't support him any longer. Tsuna sat on the ground, too terrified to move.
Hibari smirked, revving up to throw. Tsuna instinctively turned slightly to the side, in preparation to protect himself. Hibari swung his arm and Tsuna shielded himself with a random object. Lucky for Tsuna, Hibari didn't actually throw Leon. He was faking it.
"That was the plan," Hibari said, "but I have Disciplinary Committee work to take care of."
"Oh, you haven't finished yet, Hibari-kun?" Yuuki asked, tilting her head.
Hibari paused, examining Yuuki. "No," He slowly answered, tossing Leon to the ground, "later."
As he walked passed Yuuki towards the school, his arm reached out and seized Yuuki forcefully by the arm, dragging her with him. "W-What?! H-Hibari-kun!" Yuuki stuttered as she stumbled after Hibari.
Reborn watched the two go, ignoring the sudden explosion in the background as he smirked. He was sure Reina would be ecstatic by this development. It has been a while since they last talked to one another. Perhaps he should give her a call.
That reminds him, Namimori will be welcoming some visitors soon and he was looking forward to the possible entertainment they may bring with them.
