DISCLAIMER! In no way do I own Katekyo Hitman Reborn, because if I did... Lambo would be the main character... and it would be called ADORABLE BOMBER CALF LAMBO... and wouldn't have a plot...So meh.

Trying not to make chars too OoC, but it is a fanfic, so it's bound to happen!

Tsuna could hear the joyous well wishing cheers from inside the shady looking establishments as he passed by. Why in the world did he have to look for the stupid cow anyway? And by himself for that matter! Shivering slightly, the young Vongola Decimo pulled his sweater tightly around his arms. Reborn would hear it this time for sure! But it's all for the sake of the family... I am the sky, so naturally I would be the one to find the missing guardian... He smiled gently to himself, forgetting the cold and becoming lost in his thoughts. They had just returned from the future, successfully driving back the Millefiore and ensuring his, and his family's, future for at least a little while longer.

Tsuna didn't know when he started to accept his role as Vongola Decimo, or as Gokudera lovingly put it, his Juudaime. Perhaps he had accepted it all along, and didn't realize it? Or maybe it was in the ever elusive Cloud Guardian's ball of needles, being confronted by all his predecessors and being given the most ultimate gift, the Vongola X gloves. It could also be his sheer undying will to let his family be let down and vulnerable by his death... or by Reborn's. He winced at the thought of the fate that had found the Arcoboleno. Lal Mirch's sadness at Colonello's loss. He has yet to meet a woman with more determination and strive than Lal, it amazed him, even after his constant presence with Kyoko and Haru. No matter the time frame he was ready, in mind, to become the leader of the most powerful Mafioso family in the world, Vongola.

Bzzt Bzzt Bzzt. Tsuna's cell phone vibrated obnoxiously in his pocket, tearing him prematurely from his train of thought. This had best be good, maybe they found Lambo...

"Ano, Sawada speaking..."

"Oi, Juudaime, we found the stupid renegade cow! He was in Mama's room, complaining that the thirds he had at dinner weren't quite enough and he wanted Takoyaki."

"Ahaha, what a relief, I'll make my return then, thank you, Gokudera-kun."

Tsuna hung up the phone with a smile and redirected his route back home, to his friends... no his family. What happened next could only be a sign from God, condemning him for being involved with murderers and hitmen. What happened next could only happen to Sawada Tsunayoshi. What happened next was a completely accidental bump... into the one and only Namimori Middle's Discipline Committee prefect, Hibari Kyoya.

Tsuna's hands flew into the air as a sign of early defeat. "Ano! Hibari-san! I'm s-so sorry! It was an accident!" he screamed out towards the staggering older boy. This is it. I'm dead. I'm going to get bitten to death! The prefect stared down at him, a murderous aura radiating from his whole being. Tsuna stared up into dark grey eyes. Eyes so grey, they were basically blue. After the hours and hours he had spent training with the older Hibari, he could now see the true murderous intent in those orbs, and it should have shocked him to the bone. Should have mind you. Tsuna could sense something else in the boy that normally wasn't there, a kind of warmth mixed with his death aura. Not exactly comforting, but not uneasy for the most part. It was then that he realized, that when he had bumped into Hibari, he had stumbled slightly, a rarity for someone so light on their feet like Hibari was.

Hibari stared Tsuna down for what felt like an eternity before finally speaking. "Sawada Tsunayoshi..." he muttered as he slowly leaned down to the boy, his face merely inches from Tsuna's. "Aren't you out past Namimori curfew, it is a school night, if I am not mistaken... do you wish to get bitten to death, little herbivore?" Hibari's cool and calm voice was somehow different this evening, almost if it were even more layed back than usual, and less malevolent, if Hibari could manage anything but said malevolence. "U-uhm, yes, Hibari-san, you see Lambo was missing, a-and Reborn sent me looking for him, since I am Boss and what not, and... well I couldn't find him, but Gokudera called and told me he was in Mam- I mean, my mother's room, pestering her for Takoyaki, or something like that. So really I was on my way home right now! Sorry, Hibari-san, it won't happen again!" Tsuna squealed out in one meek breath, breathing heavily, as if he had forgotten how for a moment or two. "You're right, it won't happen again, Sawada Tsunayoshi, but just in case you need reenforcement..." Hibari breathed into his face heavily as he reached for his tonfa's, and that's when Tsuna figured it out, why Hibari had a warmth coming from him, why he stumbled, and why he was so close.

"Um... Hibari-san?" Tsuna questioned while staring at the silver weapons in his face. "Have you been... drinking?" Hibari looked at his victim with a quizzical emotion that Tsuna couldn't figure out. "And if I have, little Sawada Tsunayoshi? Who are you to question me?" Hibari threateningly raised the weapons closer to Tsuna's neck while walking closer, causing Tsuna to hit his back against a nearby building's wall. Now cornered, the smaller mafioso had no idea what to do, or where to turn. Surely he couldn't escape from Hibari's grasp, though depending on his intoxication level, he may be able to outrun him, but would the consequences if he couldn't be worth it? He'd get twice the beating at least. Hibari put his tonfas down, as a relief to Tsuna, but quickly replaced the threat by putting one of his hands next to each side of Tsuna's head, pinning him to the wall in a hold Tsuna would never dare break, in fear of his life.

Hibari started to tilt forward towards Tsuna, and he braced himself for the blow that was sure to come. Hibari didn't break his neck, or bite him to death, no... instead he got a tired look on his face, and lightly leaned his forehead against Tsuna's, gently closing his eyes and letting out an exasperated sigh. AHH!! He must be really drunk! He must have no idea what he's doing! What IS he doing?! Tsuna thought franticly at himself, listening to Hibari's breathing slow and noticing that his normally tense body went a little slack. Tsuna couldn't believe it any better if it were happening to anyone else but him and he had witnessed it. Hibari Kyoya, the scariest man in existence, passed out on Tsuna's forehead. Tsuna needed to get out of there, he needed to get home, out of the danger of this boy. Knowing full well how light a sleeper Hibari is, and what he'd do if he were to be awoken. Tsuna had no choice but to stand there, barely breathing.

Looking straight at the boy's face, Tsuna assumed he wasn't as scary looking as he once thought, not after seeing his capabilities in ten years. Compared to that Hibari Kyoya, this one was just a middle school punk. His eyes closed so lightly, upturned at the sharp angle that always had him guessing his origins, his cheeks relaxed and pink from the liquor he consumed, his lips parted ever so slightly, almost seductively, with light breath escaping them... he couldn't help but think that the boy was even... beauti-what am I thinking?! This is THE Hibari Kyoya. The Hibari that has senselessly beat my fellow peers, including myself... well... senseless! Tsuna blushed heavily when he realized where his thoughts were leading him. He had always found Hibari intriguing in a way, but definitely not THAT way. He likes girls! He loves Kyoko! He threw his reassurances around in his mind, but couldn't help but stare at Hibari's lips. They were slightly rose in colour now, not at all like when he usually sees him, which is devoid of all colour except black and white, the light shade of his pale skin, the dark grey/blue of his eyes, and the yellow and gold of the discipline patch on his arm. Well, attracted to men or not, Tsuna could not disagree that Hibari was, he would guess, an attractive male, up close at least. And he seemed to be getting even closer. Wait, why is he getting closer? Tsuna looked to his left and right and realized that in his sleep, Hibari was starting to lose his hold on the wall, and was inevitably going to crash into Tsuna.

In fear of moving and waking the boy, all Tsuna could do is stand and wait for the fall. He clenched his eyes shut tight, ready for the beating that would ensue upon Hibari's awakening. What he felt was not the feeling of a heavy body landing upon his, or even one sliding down the wall. No, what Sawada Tsunayoshi felt was light lips brush against his, and soft eyelashes dance across his cheeks before he felt a surge of tension in the other boy. Hibari Kyoya has never had a look of anger and confusion display in his eyes so strong in his entire life. "Sawada Tsunayoshi..." was the last thing he can remember hearing when he woke up that next morning, in his bed, with at least three broken ribs.

Pyopi- Tsunayoshi has horrible luck, ALWAYS :3 Glad you liked it, new chapter is in progress!

Cielo-Negro- Tsuna deserved it (in Hibari's mind) and Hibari drinking will be explained in later chapters, possibly next, me thinks.

Lunara-Dono- See previous review response! :3
