Disclaimer- I don't own anything I just enjoy playing with other's toys.

Author Notes- Thank you all so much for the reviews. I would explain somethings I should have explained in the first chapter. The scene from the tree comes from this really cute fanart I found in photobucket (Haru is clinging to a tree and Hibari is standing down watching her!)and the intreview part comes directly from Haru's intreview of Hibari in the manga. I think that's it! Just for the record I suck at updating chapters SORRY! But I'm already half way writng chapter 4!


Chapter 2: Small Talk

It was the end of the sport festival. People were cleaning everything ready to enjoy the weekend away from school.

Hibari stood under the shadow of the tree were he had caught her. Surprisingly he still couldn't forget the brunet. She was interesting but he still felt annoy about the embarrassing incident that happened under the tree.

This year the Festival sport had been mildly interesting. He didn't believe for a second that, that herbivore was able to take down the teams' captains. It was easy to tell that the baby was the one behind it but, the baby had disappeared before he could ask him to fight him.

Like the past years people tended to forget that they were at school and ended up disturbing the discipline. Hibari of course helped them remember that they were still on school grounds, and any form of disciplinary disturbance was punished. But after a while of beating weaklings he found himself bored.

Just like last time he came to check the baby bird but, this time the nest was empty. The baby bird (no more a baby) had learned to fly and left the nest. The mother bird also left since there was no reason to stay.

"Hibari-san!"

"Hmm?" He turning his head lazily to the right and found the brown haired girl he couldn't forget, running excited towards him. 'What was her name?' he thought trying to remember.

"Was Hibari-san taking a nap while standing up?" Haru asked him noticing how sleepy he looked. As she stood in front of him, she noticed under what tree they were standing. She could feel herself blush remembering the embarrassing incident.

"What are you doing here?" Hibari asked noticing her light blush, but didn't think anything about it. He finally remembered her name and also that she was from another school. Last time he let it pass because of the baby, but students from other schools were not allowed on Namimori grounds.

She caught the threat in his voice. "I came to check how was the baby bird doing" Haru explained, not wanting to make him angry. She remembered that he had called her loud, so to keep the peace she controlled more her voice. "But seems that he is gone."

Haru looked up at the empty nest, thinking back to when she had helped the little bird. She didn't regret helping the little bird and falling from the tree was her fault for not been careful.
Looking back at him she thought how stupid she had acted. Hibari had saved her and all she did was run away and say a lousy thanks.

One of his eyebrows rose up slightly when she smiled softly at him. "Mm?" Nobody smiled at him. People screamed, begged and cursed at him but never smile.

"I haven't really say thank you for saving me" Haru explained, "the other time doesn't count since I was still embarrass." He tensed remembering the embarrassing incident but, kept silent and waited for her to finish.

"Thank you for catching me when I fell."

This time a light blush adorned his face. It was the first time anybody truly thanked him. He felt something stir. Hibari ignored the feeling and just starred at her. What was he suppose to say now? He could deal with insults and death threats but a thanks?

Noticing his discomfort Haru started talking again. "Hibari-san doesn't have to say anything."

He let his body relax now that he knew he didn't have to say anything. They fell into a comfortable silence before he got curious again about what was she doing on his school. "You are not from this school. What are you doing here?" Hibari asked this time his voice simply curious but still sharp.

"Haru came to watch the sport festival and to cheer for Tsuna-san!" she said going back to her more bubbly self. She then noticed how empty the school seemed to be. She looked down at her wrist watch and saw how late it was.

"Hahi! It's so late!" she said panicked, "Haru was supposed to meet Tsuna-san and the others 20 minutes ago!" She turned around and started running towards the school entrance. "It was nice talking to Hibari-san! Lets talk again soon!" she shouted not looking back and waving a hand in the air.

Hibari watched her run until he couldn't see her anymore. He wouldn't mind talking to her again. Well more like he wouldn't mind heard her talk again since he barely spoke.

'Interesting' Hibari thought walking away from the tree.
