Woohoo! First (posted) yaoi story.

Summary: AU Nine-year-old Hibari Kyouya meets eighteen-year-old Sawada Tsunayoshi, a carnivore who seems determined to be an everyday herbivore. Too bad his carnivorous companions are just as against this as the little skylark himself. 1827, All27, and more.

Warnings: AU, MalexMale, OOC, Violence, Language, Age Gap

The main pairing will be HibarixTsuna, but that doesn't mean that little Hibari won't have rivals, because everyone's favorite Tuna is just so lovable. Also a special surprise crack pairing will be here. I haven't seen anyone do this one yet, so I'm hoping this fic will start a movement.

Chapter 1: Hibari Kyouya Follows a Stranger Into a Dark Alley

There are many things that could be said of Hibari Kyouya. He is strange. He is strong. He is obsessed with 'biting' people to death. He is just downright terrifying in general. And the self-proclaimed protector of the town of Namimori from just about everything his tonfas could touch. That included the citizens of Namimori much to their dismay.

What most people seem to leave out (or just outright ignore) when they gossip about him is the fact the Hibari Kyouya is only nine years old. Because the thought of this monster child growing up to become even stronger was a nightmare in and of itself.

On a routine patrol around the area surrounding Namimori Elementary, Hibari Kyouya was waiting-somewhat impatiently- for his subordinate/right-hand man/possibly only human friend, Kusakabe Tetsuya to return.

It was just hot enough to feel mildly uncomfortable, even in short sleeves, and so Kusakabe offered to get cold drinks for them from a small family run convenience store. Hibari stayed outside as this warm day had caused several people to crowd within the air conditioned store and it really wasn't worth going inside himself when Tetsu could do just as well. Besides, he needed to keep an eye out as there had been complaints of late about a small gang of troublemakers harassing the locals and any pedestrian that happened to pass through their territory.

How foolish. This was Hibari's territory not theirs. He would have to make sure these disruptive herbivores learned that.

Anyone who knew the dark-haired child standing outside the store, emotionlessly surveying them, gave him a wide berth as they passed by. Some even crossing the street to get away from that unnerving look. They walked away quickly and tried to keep themselves from making any unnecessarily loud noise.

"DO YA KNOW WHO WE ARE? HUH?"

"Uhh-uuhh…"

Except for that particular group of herbivores down the street. Hibari narrowed his eyes. He could hear them all the way from here. Crowding. Disruptive Behavior.

Six men, sloppily dressed in dark leather with copious amounts of metal attached to both their clothes and bodies, were surrounding a small brunet who was backed up against the brick wall of a building.

Tarnishing the good name of Namimori.

"WELL? DO YA FUCKER?"

The brunet cringed and shied away from the punk as much as he could. Whether in actual fear or to get away from the spittle flying out of his harasser's mouth, Hibari wasn't quite sure.

"Umm…n-no. Not-not really. I just moved here not too long ago."

"Hah! Why don't we enlighten you then?" grinned a pockmarked man from his left.

The people around them simply ducked their heads down, no one giving more than a pitying glance in the brunet's direction. The spineless herbivores.

"We're part of the Blue Cobra Gang from the next town over and we're looking to expand see? But we need money for that and unfortunately we have to rely on the generous donations of others." He leered at the young man before him. "You get my drift?"

If he wasn't already certain that these were the troublemakers, those words probably would have cemented it. Hibari was already moving forward but those words spurred him to move faster. How dare these herbivores come to steal from Namimori citizens. If they wanted to extort money from people, they should be doing this in their own town. And what was that nonsense about expanding territories? He would have to make sure to thoroughly bite them to death.

"So pay up!" barked a third man.

The brunet flinched again.

"But I really don't have any money on me. I left my wallet back at my apartment."

"Bullshit!" A large beefy arm seized him by the lapels of his shirt and tugged him close. "There's no wa-"

"Hold up Andou. Put him down."

This must be the leader for the huge man dropped the other with only a mild grumble.

"What's your name?" He was smiling in a not so pleasant way.

"Sa-sasaki Y-yori."

"Well Yori-kun. Did you know that we're also looking to find more patrons? It would help ever so much if you could introduce us to more people. Maybe your neighbors? Family? Friends?"

"I-I-I…" The brunet was glancing around helplessly, but no one would meet his eyes. No one except for a startling pair of silver-blue gems darkened with righteous fury. The brunet's caramel orbs locked on to Hibari's blue steel eyes for just a split second before sliding away, but it was just enough to make the boy pause. Those eyes. Those weren't the eyes of a frightened herbivore. Those were…actually he couldn't make sense of what they were, but it was enough to arrest all movement from the young boy.

Then the brunet's shoulders slumped down in apparent defeat.

"I don't live too far from here…"

"Great!" A hand clapped heavily onto his shoulder. "Why don't we head back to your place then and you can give us your donation there. Sound good?"

"Yeah." His reply was less than enthusiastic as he led the group down a side alley two blocks over.

By that point Hibari was moving again, chasing after them ,and turned the corner just in time to see the last man disappear into the dark alley.

"What are you-AAARRGH"

"Fu-"

"You bast-Gluck!"

Screams, crashes and the familiar sound of flesh impacting flesh rang in the air.

By the time Hibari had made it there, the six men along with their unwilling victim were no longer in sight. He cautiously stepped forth and headed down the path. Rustling was heard nearby and Hibari froze. He looked up at the open dumpster ahead only to see the tip of a shoe poking out. He circled around it and found a tattooed hand resting on the metal edge.

Glancing around, he noticed a fire escape not too far from the dumpster and climbed it to get a better view.

One, two, three, four, five, six herbivores. And none of them were the small brunet herbivore.

No. He couldn't call him an herbivore. Now he knew what was different about those eyes. They weren't the eyes of a carnivore. But they weren't the eyes of an herbivore either. They were something in between. An omnivore. Hibari had never met one in his short life before so he hadn't recognized them. Why else would they have made him stop like that? The few carnivores in his life didn't live here and only occasionally visited the small town. It wouldn't be the same as being in the presence with one of them, but this could still be interesting.

Swinging off the fire escape, he made sure to kick the lid of the open dumpster down. The lid didn't quite close all the way due to the amount of bodies piled atop the garbage, but no matter. Today was trash day and the omnivore had even generously found a convenient way to get rid of these herbivores so that their unsightly bodies did not litter the streets. How thoughtful of him. The omnivore was already shaping up to be a model Namimori citizen.

His mind carefully filtered through the previous conversation as he ignored the muffled groans coming from someone in the dumpster.

"Sasaki Yori. I will find you." A feral grin stole over his face, morphing it into a terrifying visage. It would have made any normal man cry.

Somewhere not too far away, Sawada Tsunayoshi sneezed.

"I hope that boy's okay." It was a shame that the only person who seemed to be coming to his rescue was a young boy who still looked like he was in elementary school, but there was no way that a kid should be getting involved with something like members of an upstart yakuza group…even if his eyes reminded Tsuna of another perpetually angry-and very dangerous-little boy.

Tsuna sneezed again. This time a shudder worked its way down his spine.

"Mou…They must have realized that I'm gone by now. I hope the others will hold them off for a just little while longer."

Tsuna gave them a fake name. Of course that's not going to exactly help Hibari's search for him. Don't worry though Hibari! Tsuna's bad luck will surely come through for you. XD
