It was lunch time and they were on a roof that should have been crowded with other students like the other one was, but it was very surprisingly empty. They sat down in the middle and took out there lunches as Tsumeka seems better today really to the two.

"How come there aren't any other students up here?"

"Because people keep track of Hibari-sempai's habits and this is the roof he tends to use during the lunch hour if he's not out doing his patrolling. This is generally one of the time periods when he naps like a cat. If we stay quiet, he might not come after us for eating lunch here if he is currently napping."

"People certainly seem to fear this Hibari person a lot." Hayato grumbled.

"I think the polite way of calling it is saying they have a 'healthy respect' for Hibari-sempai. He's the only reason I even come to school before now." Hayato grinned.

"Sounds to me like you have a crush on my nephew." A voice said as Tsumeka's face went bright red.

"Don't be absurd!" She said embarrassed. A crush on Hibari-sempai? She wasn't that daring! Unseen by the trio, Kyouya was listening in ever since Fon showed up. He was not pleased the carnivore was anywhere near him. Fon knew he was there though. He rolled his eyes when he heard the word "crush" and "Hibari" in the same question.

"So if you don't have a crush on Hibari, then why did you say he was the only reason you came to school?" Hayato asked getting in on the light teasing.

"I admire him, nothing more. I'm nowhere near brave enough to dare have something as silly as a crush on one of the top ten hottest boys in school." Tsumeka said while hiding her face.

"And no, I didn't come up with that list... It's hard not to hear the other girls rate the boys... You're currently in the number four spot." Hayato rolled his eyes. Like he cared what a bunch of whiny civilian girls thought of him. He only cared about Tsumeka's opinion.

"And if it wasn't for Hibari-sempai, the bullying I deal with would be ten times worse. At least with him patrolling the school and biting the worst offenders to the point they either move or get arrested, the most I have to deal with is people mocking me or minor physical harassment now.

I've never been hurt to the point I had to stay in the hospital for more than a broken arm because of him... I know the school is safe," Tsumeka said making them to all frown at her.

"'Minor physical harassment'?" Hayato repeated dangerously.

"A bit of shoving me out of the way, making me trip or dumping random liquids like water, milk, soda or tea on my head." She admitted.

"Like I said, it could have been worse if Hibari-sempai didn't drive out the more dangerous delinquents and didn't patrol most of the grounds so regularly with his committee."

"And you put up with this?" Fon said with eyes narrowing.

"It's not like anyone ever bothered to stand up for me. Hibari, Hayato, Takashi and onii-chan is quite literally the only friends I have in the school. Not that I ever did before and to say nothing of what my other genetic donor told me when I asked him for help." Tsumeka said bitterly.

"I'm almost afraid to ask, for fear that I may remove his ability to procreate further." Fon said dryly.

"He told me to 'be a man, and take the punches', before dismissing the fact I was being extensively bullied to the point I gave up on trying in school entirely." Tsumeka said sourly.

"I've long come to terms with the fact that I'm nothing more than an afterthought in his mind really, especially if my mother is around. It's like he only had me to shut someone else up about continuing his line." Fon had no words.

He knew Iemitsu was an idiot (Lal Mirch's bitching on the matter said volumes of how much she had to deal with on a regular basis), but this was a new low he hadn't expected.

"So what do you think of my nephew?" Fon asked in a light joking manner.

"He scares me." Tsumeka said.

"He scares you?" Hayato said.

"What about him scares you?" Fon asked while knowing perfectly well Kyouya was listening to every word.

"He's strong, passionate about his protection of the school and is always so quick to jump into a fight if he thinks it will be interesting. That's what scares me." Tsumeka said without thinking.

"So you're afraid of violence?" Hayato asked while he was slightly disappointed, but she shook her head.

"No, what terrifies me is that I'm worried one day he'll leave the relatively small pond of Namimori only to end up biting off more than he can chew, only to end up eaten by a much bigger fish or caged like an attack dog for someone who won't care about him as a person, only as a weapon.

Can you imagine the damage the Triads would do to someone as independent as Hibari-sempai? They'd either kill him or turn him into a slave!" Tsumeka said shuddering at that image really.

"He's so used to the relatively small time dangers of Namimori that he might not be able to judge a real threat from outside it and get badly hurt." Fon's eyes lit up with understanding.

"You're not scared of Kyouya. You're scared for him." He said.

"I know he's strong and he's a very good fighter, but his pride won't let him back down easily from a fight that looks remotely like it would be challenging and fun. And guns are so readily available outside Japan..." Tsumeka said with worry.

She completely missed the fact said prefect was right behind her until she felt the light rap of his tonfa on her head. Her eyes were wide with shock and disbelief when she registered who had hit her.

"Hmph. Small animals shouldn't worry about carnivores like me," He said with annoyance. Only Fon caught the fact Kyouya was lightly blushing. Not only had his Sky openly praised him for all the points he took great pride in.

Like his ability to protect his territory, the fact he was the strongest person in it and the fact she openly trusted him to keep it safe for small animals like her, but she admitted she was more terrified of him being hurt or caged than she was about the fact he was a very violent, antisocial person.

Fon hid a smile as his nephew was lucky to find someone who fully understood him so well. Tsumeka was just about to kill herself again when she Reborn shot at her feet making her to jump into Kyouya's arms.

"This is not going to be continuing. If I have to start killing children since I'm against it... I'll blow up the whole school and pay Kyouya the money for it and fix it to have four extra floors with a club house to allow him to nap with some nose cancelling headphones." Kyouya smirks at him.

"Woa." Kyouya was impressed as Reborn is one carnivore he doesn't want to mess with really. Fon smirks as Reborn doesn't know how much it's going to cost really and he'll be in shock once he does really.
