Sorry I didn't update lately! Ahaha… Yeah… I made a promise to someone that I would update last week but… that didn't happen. I forgot. I FORGOT! Noooooooooo!

~Because FF doesn't want to function today~

"Mou… I'm bored..." Tsuna mumbled as he layed down on the bed. Why couldn't Hibari-san let me see Mama? Tsuna blinked, before remembering. Oh, yeah… He said something about "weak" and "busy"... But then he started using big words, so I didn't get it. Where did he learn those big words? It was confusing…

Tsuna's head started to hurt from all the thinking, so he turned his head away from the room that reminded him of Hibari and looked out the doorway that led outside.

"Ah, it's so peaceful..." Tsuna said as he peered out the doorway. The scenery was simply breath-taking. There was a pond that had lily pads scattered all over with lotus flowers adorning the green leaves. Rough stones bordered the pond and green grass brushed everything on the ground. A sakura tree rained small, soft petals, which landed on the thin, ticklish grass and on the smooth, clear water. The blue sky had white, seemingly glowing, clouds joining together in the bright blue mass. Faraway, there was a brick wall that consisted of a solid shade of dark cream in color.

"Ah, it's so pretty~!" he squealed, smiling brightly. "I wish I could go outside..."

"Then go out," a familiar voice stated in a bored voice. Tsuna whirled around in shock. "A-ah, Hibari-san?"

"Yes, it's me." He deadpanned.

"O-oh.. So I can go out?" Tsuna timidly asked.

Hibari gave him a blank look. Then he sighed. "As long as you don't hurt yourself..." He paused. "It would be troublesome to heal you again."

Tsuna smiled brightly. "Uwah, really? Thank you, Hibari-san!" And skipped out to the outside world.

It really made Tsuna happy, since it felt so peaceful. And it felt really warm, for some reason.

Much more warmer than it felt like initially. It was like he took a warm bath, and dried himself under a kotatsu.

"Mmh, it seems a lot more warmer..." Tsuna mumbled. Then he brightened up again. "Oh, well!"

~0~

Just like he saw before, the tiny herbivore caught on fire.

What is up with this herbivore and fire? He better not be doing this on purpose… or else I'll bite him to death.

But he shouldn't assume. After all, the herbivore doesn't seem to mind that there's orange flames on his back.

Again… the fire doesn't not seem to affect him and the fire is spread out into the air… He looks like a flaming angel, Hibari thought. Then he blinked. A flaming angel?

He peered at the curious child who was looking at the clear water with a panicked expression.

Why ishe so panicked?

"M-my back is on fire! Hiieee!"

Oh. So he's not doing it on purpose. Huh. That answers one of my questions, the nine year old thought. He watched the child flail around and trip.

"Calm down," Hibari ordered.

"H-how? I-it's on fire!" Tsuna yelped.

"Haven't you noticed that it doesn't hurt you?" Hibari deadpanned.

"Oh..." he stopped.

There was silence.

Tsuna shuffled around uncomfortably. "It's very warm," Tsuna commented.

"Yes, I know. I felt it before," Hibari replied.

"Huh? When?"
"Are you commanding me to tell you?"

"N-no! I just wanted to know..." Tsuna slumped in his spot with wide eyes.

Hibari sighed. "When you fell asleep the night before."

"Huh?"

"Your flames."

"Oh…" he mumbled. "Why is my back like this?"

"Does it look like I know?"

Tsuna stared at him.

"No, I don't know," Hibari said, exasperated.

Silence...

"Why were you with those scientists?" Hibari asked.

"The… scientists…?"

"Yes, the men in white."

"Oh, they said that they were going to play with me!" he chirped. But then he looked at the grass sadly. "But that never happened..."

"Didn't your mother said that you shouldn't go to strangers?"

"She said that I shouldn't go to strangers that ask if I want candy."

"... you shouldn't go to strangers in general."

"In general?"

"You need to work on your vocabulary..."

"Vokhabulerry?"

Hibari sighed. He needed to teach the herbivore vocabulary and what happens when you go to strangers.

He paused.

On second thought, maybe he shouldn't tell him what happens when you go with strangers...

~0~

"Nana! Nana!" Iemitsu yelled, slamming the front door open. The said woman turned around from the kitchen, revealing her tear-stained cheeks.

"I-Iemi-itsu… I miss Tsuna so much!" she wailed. "What if he's hurt? What if he's not even in Japan anymore?"

"N-Nana... " Iemitsu said, reaching out for her to comfort her, even though he's as worried as her in the inside.

"Nana, it's okay… I'm going to go look for him and if I don't find him then I'll..." he trailed off. What would he do? He couldn't use his men—

Nana looked at him with hopeful eyes.

… Could he?

"I'll… contact my boss if we can get more help," he finished.

"Th-thank you..." Nana whispered weakly and cried into his suit.

~0~

Tsuna hummed curiously. "My fire is weird!" Tsuna exclaimed.

"Your fire?" Hibari asked through narrowed eyes. So can he control it? But he seemed surprised when he saw the flames...

Tsuna was completely oblivious to the glare. "Well, it's on my back so..." Tsuna trailed off.

Hibari grunted.

Tsuna blinked. Then he looked at his back. "How do I make these go away?"

"I don't know," Hibari mumbled. Tsuna pouted as he poked the flames.

"Ne, ne, Fire-san, can you go away?" Tsuna asked. After he asked, the flames began to diminish. "Wah, Fire-san's nice!"

Hibari frowned. So can he control the flames? And what kind of name is "Fire-san"? Those look like wings, so...

"I wonder..." Hibari mumbled.

"What?" Tsuna asked.

Hibari glared. "Are you ordering me to tell you?"

Tsuna squeaked. "No, no! I just wanted to know so..." Tsuna mumbled. He looked down.

Hibari's eyebrow twitched. Why is this herbivore… cute?

He took a deep breath in and then exhaled. Then he said, "Since the flames on your back look like wings, I wondered if you could fly."

Tsuna blinked. "Oh. They look like wings?" He peered at his back, mumbling a curious hum. Then he squeezed his eyes shut.

Hibari looked at him with a curious gaze. What is he doing?

Suddenly, the flames appeared, flaring up with life, causing Hibari jerked back in surprise.

"Oh, you're right!" Tsuna exclaimed, eyes shining with excitement. He began poking his flame wings and moving his shoulder.

Hibari composed himself, then narrowed his eyes and growled, "Herbivore..." Hibari stood up threateningly.

Tsuna stiffened. "A-ah, sorry, I-I, uh..." The flame wings on his back stiffened and covered Tsuna.

Hibari's eyes widened. What—?

"W-what is—?" Tsuna stuttered. The flame wings uncovered him and drooped, as if apologizing.

"F-Fire-san?" Tsuna murmured, a confused expression plastered on his face.

… Does the fire have a mind of its own? It certainly acts like it… Hibari thought.

Tsuna resumed to poking his flaming wings, trying to move them but to no avail. He tried moving his shoulders, but that only shifted the wings. Hibari watched with an interested gaze, taking mental notes of how the wings reacted. So far, nothing happened.

Tsuna pouted. "Ne, ne, Fire-san, can you flap?" The wings twitched.

Hibari narrowed his eyes. What will happen? Do the wings only react to verbal commands?

Hibari received his answer moments later.

The wings shifted up and then started to smoothly move in graceful arcs.

"My wings are pretty!" Tsuna exclaimed, mesmerized by the arcs of the wings.

The wings picked up the pace and slowly, Tsuna was lifted off the floor and into the air. Tsuna blinked rapidly and started to panic.

"A-ah, Hibari-san..! Should I keep on flying?" Tsuna stammered, not knowing what to do in the air.

Hibari himself did not know what to do. But… those are made of fire! He shook his head. Fire shouldn't even be wing-shaped or inflict no pain.

"Herbivore, try moving around," Hibari ordered. Tsuna simply tilted his head, not understanding what he should do.

Hibari sighed in exasperation and said, "Try flying towards the couch."

Tsuna looked around and spotted the couch. He flailed his arms around in what looked like a breaststroke (a clumsy one since he doesn't know how to swim) before he gave up after a few seconds and struck a thinking pose in midair. Hibari started to wonder what was going on in the herbivore's mind.

"Hm..." Tsuna hummed. Then suddenly he exclaimed, "Aha!" Tsuna closed his eyes in concentration and thought, Fire-san, can you flap towards the couch?

He continued to fly in the same spot, making the children wonder if Tsuna was going to move or not. Soon after, he began to flap to the couch. He was gently lowered to the couch's soft seats and Hibari blinked.

"Aha, that was fun!" Tsuna chirped. "And scary!"

"Hah..."

"Ne, ne, Hibari-san, have you been in the air before?"

Hibari simply stared at Tsuna, thinking that the answer was obvious.

Tsuna stared back, confused.

They stared for a couple of minutes.

"No, herbivore, I haven't. Unlike you, I don't have wings."

Tsuna blinked. "Oh." Then he brightened up again. "Well, it's fun! And scary! And weird!"

Weird? Hibari thought.

~0~

"Boss..." Iemitsu bit his lip. "Can I use my men to find my son?"

"Iemitsu..." came Nono's warning voice.

"But… He's my son! I gave up time for my family to serve Vongola and to keep them safe!"

"I… I just… don't know, Iemitsu. Don't you think it would be suspicious to see people dressed in black in a relatively peaceful town?"

"I… I promise that they won't be seen. I bet on my life!"

"Iemitsu!"

"I bet on my life! So please! I need help…!"

There was a sigh on the other side of the phone. "Fine..."

~0~

It was nighttime and Tsuna was really sleepy. After hours of flying with his fiery wings, he began to tire out.

And Hibari had to carry him to his room.

"Thank you, Hibari-san..." Tsuna mumbled.

"Just go to sleep."

"Hai..."

"... Hn."

Hibari peered over his shoulder and saw Tsuna burying his head into his neck. Th-that's… too cute for a herbivore…

Hibari sighed and opened the door to Tsuna's temporary room, careful not to drop Tsuna. He walked over to the futon and laid Tsuna on top, draping the thick covers over him. Just as he was going to leave, Tsuna's tiny hands caught his sleeve.

"D...don't leave… Hibari-san..."

Hibari paused, unsure if he should wake him up and make him unhand him, or stay.

Hibari gritted his teeth, feeling like a herbivore, and cursed Tsuna for being cute. He then slipped under the covers with Tsuna, marvelling how warm Tsuna was and how herbivorous (cute) Tsuna was as he buried his head into Hibari's neck.

"Too… cute..." Hibari whispered, blushing.

~0~

Inside of Tsuna's mind, he was dreaming. It was warm! dark, but warm, nonetheless.

"Ah~ It's so warm~!" Tsuna sang. His wings popped into existence from the sheer happiness and joy Tsuna was experiencing.

"Ah! Fire-san!" Tsuna exclaimed, startled.

"Tsunayoshi-kun…" a voice echoed.

"H-hah?!" Tsuna gasped.

"Do not fear me, Tsunayoshi-kun..."

"F-Fire-san?" Tsuna looked at his back with curiosity.

There was a chuckle and then, "Yes, Tsunayoshi-kun, I am who you call 'Fire-san'." Fire-san flapped a few times, then folded.

There was a mutter of, "Still not used to this form..." But Tsuna heard it.

"Form?" Tsuna questioned.

"Ah! My apologies, Tsunayoshi-kun!" Fire-san exclaimed, twitching. "You do not need to make yourself worry about it!"

"But… don't you need help?" Tsuna asked. The pair of wings shifted, confused.

"Help?"

"Yeah, help!" Tsuna chirped.

"And may I ask what I need help in?" Fire-san questioned.

"Hibari-san said that form is like..." Tsuna scrunched up his face cutely, trying to remember his lesson with Hibari earlier that day. "Uh… shape?"

"Yes, shape is close enough."

"So, you're not used to your wing-shape!" Tsuna said.

"... Yes, I am not. Then again, I wasn't used to that stone-shape, either. It's been hundreds of years and I'm not used to any of this!" the pair of wings exclaimed, suddenly unfolding and flapping a few times.

This startled Tsuna of course, yelping as it did.

"Ah, my apologies, Tsunayoshi-kun! I did not mean to startle you!"

"I-it's okay. Also, why are you so… polite? Yeah, polite!" Tsuna paused. "Not that I'm saying that it's not good to be polite!"

Fire-san chuckled as Tsuna was getting more flustered by the second.

"Tsunayoshi-kun," Fire-san called out. "I am polite because… I am simply used to being polite."

"Oh..." Tsuna blinked. Then fell silent. It was an awkward silence, really, until Tsuna broke by remembering something.

"Oh, yeah! Fire-san!"

Fire-san perked up. "Yes?"

"Call me Tsuna! Anything besides Tsunayoshi!" he exclaimed.

This surprised Fire-san, but he complied. "Alright, Tsuna...kun. You may call me Giotto, then."

Tsuna smiled brightly. "Hai!"

~0~

Tsuna woke up, still very warm, and comfortable. "Mmh..." Tsuna mumbled. He snuggled in deeper within the covers and… What was he hugging?

He blearily opened one of his eyes and saw pale skin. "Mmh…?"

"I see you're awake now, herbivore."

Tsuna woke up all the way, his eyes opening wide in shock. "H-Hibari-san?"

"Yes, herbivore, it is me," Hibari replied easily.

Tsuna blinked many times. "Where are you, Hibari-san?" He sat up. Moments later, there was a rustling sound.

"I am right next to you."

"HIIIIIEE!"

~0~

"G-gomen, Hibari-san..." Tsuna apologized, embarrassed by his girlish screaming.

Hibari didn't reply, still tending his ears.

Minutes later, Tsuna broke the silence. "Ne, Hibari-san..."

"... Hn?"

"Have you ever had a dream where you talked to someone like you would in real life?" Tsuna asked, large brown eyes brimming with curiosity.

Hibari's eyes narrowed. "What do you mean?"

"I talked to Fire-san in my dream!" Tsuna chirped.

"... What did you talk about?"

"We talked about forms! And names!"

"... Names?"

"Un! He said that his real name was Giotto!"

Hibari's eyes widened. Giotto? My ancestor's boss?

~0~
