Katekyo Hitman Reborn
Secrets
Part I.
As someone who absolutely defends the school without faltering and without mercy, it isn't surprising to see Hibari Kyoya patrolling around the campus with an expressionless yet somehow fierce aura. As a result of this however, students and teachers alike tend to avoid the dangerous student whenever he is seen.
This isn't a problem for him since said student absolutely hated crowds. He hated the inconsequential noise and the skin to skin touches that cannot be helped when in a crowd of weak people. As such, being feared is somewhat a good thing for him.
"Hibari!"
But he forgot one important thing.
"Oi!"
Someone is stupid enough to greet him with such friendliness and familiarity it is making him feel a sort of anger Kyoya only feels when said person is around.
"Oi, Hibari! What's up?" that overly cheerful voice sends his emotions into a swirl of anger so fast he sometimes feels that he isn't the one controlling his own emotions.
He stopped walking and his aura turns even deadlier before he turned around and fixed the annoying idiot with a glare. Behind said idiot are two people he also associated with the herbivore in front of him. He can feel the uneasiness of everyone around him and saw them instantly backing away slowly even when they are in a narrow hallway. Others even went so far as entering their classrooms, yet this idiot who is now in front of him wearing an incredibly annoying and irritating smile with his right hand rubbing the back of his head seemed to be unaffected.
"A-ah, Yamamoto!" a nervous voice said but neither of the two paid it any mind.
Kyoya had to admit that he is reluctantly impressed that the idiot managed to remain unaffected. But that probably has to do with his brains being fried since birth and the only emotion that remained within him is an idiotic yet cheerful smile.
Though it also probably has to do with his training with that baby arcobaleno, Reborn.
"Maa, glaring fiercely like that is not cute Hibari." Without warning, he had already whipped out his tonfas and struck the wall beside him in a fast move that almost everyone only saw a blur. Students and teachers alike froze especially when the wall cracked and the tonfas penetrated within said wall.
"Yamamoto Takeshi." He spoke with a glare. His tone carried a warning that everyone already perceived since earlier. Only, the spoken warning seemed to have carried a deadly intent not there when he was still walking earlier.
Yamamoto's eyes went wide at the display of violence, not because it is unusual. In fact, such violent acts are the usual for Head of the Disciplinary Committee. What made his eyes wide and literally silenced him was that the dangerous weapons Hibari preferred to use were lightly touching his nose and his ears still ringing from the force of Hibari's attack on the wall also beside him. That was how close the attack was on him.
It's so scary that it wasn't even funny.
"I'll bite you to death."
Any other time, he would have laughed as was his personality but somehow, the words that was usually uttered held a certain vehemence to it that the threat made it sound like a promise.
"A-aah, S-sorry, sorry.." he said reflexively and nervously, lightly stepping backwards so he wouldn't feel the weapons of destruction at the tip of his nose. Hibari looked at him for a few seconds longer before he pulled the tonfas out of the wall and securely kept it at his side. He then walked away almost as if he didn't left a hole behind. Everyone heaved a huge sigh of relief before slowly going back to their usual activities.
Yamamoto however didn't notice any of these as he was busy calming his heart rate down. Whew, crisis averted, he patted himself and released a sigh of relief when he felt nothing unusual on himself. Hibari is really scary.
Then someone smacked his head from behind.
"You have a death wish, idiot?!" Gokudera said with an annoyed tone.
"Gokudera-kun!" Tsuna said, getting the attention of the bomb-user and making him reveal an embarrassed expression. Tsuna seemed to have forgiven Gokudera's act of violence though because he then turned to look at him with a worried expression. "Are you okay Yamamoto?"
"Don't worry about it Tsuna, I'm good." He smiled, he ignored Gokudera's snort and looked back in the way Hibari had walked away from.
Something's up with him.
"Something is wrong with Hibari-san." Tsuna unusually perceptive tone said and both him and Gokudera looked at the 10th leader of the Vongola Family in varying expression. Gokudera looked confused and Yamamoto looked apprehensive.
So I was right. Even Tsuna noticed, huh…
"What do you mean 10th? Hibari has always been like that, disrespectful, violent Cloud Guardian." Gokudera muttered the last words in his breath but all three of them heard it. Nonetheless, Tsuna didn't pay it any mind and his expression turned to pensive and worried. It was like he was turning into the calm and cool boss of the Vongola Family without the use of his ring.
"He seemed more violent than usual, deadlier and easily snaps."
"He's always been that way 10th!"
"… Yes, but he seemed… stressed. I get the feeling that he is particularly out of sorts today." Tsuna then had his eyes wide open and immediately turned to look at them with his usual expression. "A-ah! B-but this is Hibari-san right?"
"Yeah…" Gokudera looked at Tsuna like he was slowly working out what he is talking about. Yamamoto's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Right. Hibari-san has always been like that, right? M-maybe I'm just imagining things… ahaha…" Tsuna ended with an awkward laugh. Gokudera's eyes blinked rapidly before exclaiming rather loudly.
"10th isn't imagining things! 10th's hyper-intuition is absolute perfection!"
"Right Tsuna. I think you're not imagining it. He really is different than usual today." Yamamoto stated, his voice going pensive.
"Hm. If that's the case, let's hope his homicidal tendencies curbed within normal next day."
All of them agreed with Gokudera's statement.
