Chapter 5 : Bait

Takeshi POV

"Hufff.... Pufff... " the black haired child shivered and shuffling on his blanket, his vision blurry, and his throat felt so dry. his body damp of cold sweats and a violent coughs come up, as he feel snots pour down his nose, his hand that gripping on the tissue wiped it. the wet yellow towel draped on his heating forehead helping to ease his pain for a little bit.

'The hell? how can i get a cold in a freakin summer?!' the young rain flames user cursed, as his own head pounded in ache and dizziness.

But maybe, he did need this sickness to make him rest, after he forced himself to block off Hibari-senpai in daily training spar, with him lost to senpai, and beaten, every. single. time. when he didn't use his rain flames. either that or practice baseball, doing schools homework, and helping his father in his sushi shop.

Talk about flames, it seems Hibari-senpai awaken his cloud flames. it makes him look like a little child first impression on a candy store. though, the sudden throwed flames to takeshi after the hibari managed to make it into a solid burning object was not cute. so not cute.

Takeshi's bedroom door creaking open, waking up takeshi from his musing, as Yamamoto tsuyoshi entered, bringing a tray in his hand. Yamamoto patriarch walking in and sit next to his son's bed, as he pat Takeshi's damp hair in worry.

"Son, eat meal first, i make a porridge. then eat your medicine" Yamamoto Tsuyoshi place the tray with glass of water and the medicine down, and pick up the bowl. his right hand taking the towel on top of his son head and set it aside. "up you go" cheered the black haired man, as takeshi try to sit up.

the elementary school kid grinning at his father, although still flushed because of the fever. "thanks oldman, i'll get better soon. don't put more wrinkle on your face." the child laugh as he accepted the bowl from his father. the warm steamed dish with chicken slices toppings looks quite tasty even for his scratchy throat now.

the sushi chef grinning back, then ruffled his son hair. "good grief, i'll go back take care on the shop. rest well" he said before getting up and leave the room.

The younger yamamoto looking up at his bedroom door. as he started eating his porridge. he feel that his energy that was nearly depleted, steadily increasing.

Riinngg..... Riinnngg.....

The rain flames user looked at his phone that he get from haggling and convincing his oldman with lots of pouts, tears, and proving himself worthy of it. he reach it and flipped the phone open. accepting the call.

"Hibari-senpai, good morning! " takeshi greeted before get in coughing fit. "ah, sorry, hahaha"

the phone is silent, before a static monotonous childish voice sharply can be heard "Little animal..."

"... yes?"

"Assasins you mentioned. if i pick on the fluffy little animal, would they come after him?"

"Surely~! well, not only assassins~ Mafia's and Yakuza's will also run after him. it will like swoosh! and Bam! there they are~" takeshi said cheerfully.

"..."

'Hook....'

"Ah, but his mom is good at making hamburger steak, if they get hurt, that will be a waste, hahaha"

'...Line'

"Hn"

'SINKER'

The young yamamoto snicker quietly at the carnivore behaviour based on the angered sound of hibari on the last part. Whoever said he was unpredictable, it's true... just not in all parts though. *snicker*

"You better do your job soon, or i'll bite you to death" threatened the skylark.

"Of course senpai~ thanks for tell the teachers of my absence, see you in school tomorrow, take care!"

then the call ended. before takeshi started laughing and ended in coughing fit. finishing his meal, and taking his medication.

his brown eyes glinted in amusement.

'Now, that tsuna will get [pick on] under Hibari senpai's wings and radars, he will have a better time surviving under reborn's tor-Tutoring regime, hehehe. aren't i a good and understanding guardian?~' the yamamoto heir smiling broadly, though he doubted hibari will 'teach' anything to a certain sealed sky flame user, bit him to death probably, like what the skylark did to test takeshi's own skills. his amused face then morphed into a frown settle in his face, remembering another upcoming potential troubles .

The truth about future events, the assassination and the spies that try to prying into Namimori's territory seeking the wife and progeny of the famous 'Young Lion' head of CEDEF from Vongola Famiglias are increased was a fact.

Probably from tsuna's dad proudly telling them about his precious 'Tuna-fish'. if those peoples aimed at the life of his would be sky, then...

"Hahaha, They will need to get pass over my dead body first."

After all, this world is where a fledgling band of misfit teenagers were stronger than the older specialized assassins experts. *cough*totally not mocking*cough* Anime logic.

'well, i'll leave the look out job for hibari senpai and his grunts, i'll just deal with it, if they were overwhelmed'

'but first... need to get better and healthy. Rest in Peace tsuna, lol'

the black haired kid then snuggle back to his blanket and dozed off with a smile in his face.

No one POV

A shiver run down on brunette body. it's been a few days, since he think something were off. like someone or few peoples not just looked contempt on him like usually contempt, mocking, analysing or amusement. this time it is like a pure bad intention. no, this was beyond creepy. like those movies with giant sharks and long large anacondas that his kaa-chan likes?!

"HIIIIIEEEEEEEEEE!!!" his intuition blaring as he dodged a pipe swing aimed to his head, the young sawada flinched.

is it his bullies? but, aren't they already strangely diminished these few weeks?

and his bullies never ever uses weapons!

that eight year old brunette scurrying away, letting out shriek all the way, as he frantically avoiding the pipe swing and grabs with tripping in the air few times and somehow rolled away from them.

"Stay in Place, you brat!"

"This Friggin dame is that so called young lion son?! huh! You will make quite good sum of money"

"Hiiiiiiieeeeeee! i don't have money"

the two man that focusing on catching the flopping tsunayoshi didn't recognized another group that arrived in the street.

A pair of tonfa throwed hit on the two suspicious man back in a hard and fast hit, a sound of crack, broken sound can be heard, as the two man that attacking tsunayoshi fall down writhing in pain before lost their conciousness.

A boy that look like older than tsunayoshi then walk to inspect the mens that trying to grab him off from the silent road. the grunts behind the black haired boy then capturing the two unconscious man roughly, lift them up.

"WAO" a smirk appeared on the black haired child. "That kind of fun, fluffy herbivore" the skylark commented as retrieving his tonfas. his silver eyes looked over the little animal that barely avoiding an act of kidnapping? in exotic manner. and how dare those herbivores try to grab one of HIS ward, he really need to teach these ruffians a lesson.

Tsuna gulped in fear, but also intrigued as he looked up, his eyes meet with a pair of silver eyed looking down on him. a glint of interest can be seen through the other boy eyes.

three black lines appeared on tsuna's head as he feel that the older boy talk to him. "what? i am not a fluffy herbivore! "

"heh" the black haired skylark smirk at what the little fluffy animal think out loud . as he remembered the sword loving little animal.

'That fluffy little animal is a little cub you know, he doesn't know how to be a carnivore that he was, when everyone deemed him as the baa baa black sheep'

"Little cub" the hibari nodded in acknowledge as he looked at the wary and cautious tsuna, he did somehow survive on his own, not so herbivore, he will need to test that again later. the black haired kid placed his end of tonfa on the little brunette forehead "you need more trials and challenges, or i'll bit you to death right now"

"NOOOOOOOOO!"

"Humph, don't be too careless about your surroundings" the skylark warn tsuna in reprimanding tone. before walking back to do his usual patrol around the city while his grunts go away first, as they will do what it is necessary to the two man they captured.

"Who are you? why they attack me?" Tsuna managed to called out to the mysterious boy before he completely gone. making the mysterious boy stopping his step, and tilted his face to the brunette.

"Hibari Kyoya, and because you are a bait" the boy reply curtly, before walk away in another way from his group.

"EH? what did he mean?" perplexed at the sudden withdrawal of the violent boy, tsuna's brain try to take the information slowly.
