It has been a few weeks after the future fight ended, and it has only been days since Ryuuichi finally, finally, not cling onto Yuuichi 24/7. And a few weeks before the beginning of the next Arc, as Ryuuichi had noticed. He was eating with Tsuna, Gokudera and Yamamoto on the roof top, enjoying the fresh air from the stuffy classroom. Yuuichi was dragged away by his teammates, much to his brother's dismay, but Ryuuichi let him eat with his friends, seeing that he had been hogging him for quite a while.

As he munched on his food, made by his beloved brother, while listening to the trio chat, he thought back on everything that had happened. He still couldn't believe that he hold such a position in this world, but he knew that it was very true. (He honestly didn't need anymore stabbing on the side as an attempt to see if he was dreaming, thank you very much.) He then remembered random little things so far. He was like in another world when he ended up in the same class with the others as second years. He was busy with this archery competition his coach had forced him to participate and was away when Nezu tried to expel the others.

He got a little pissed remembering the rat, and quickly diverted his thought elsewhere. He remembered interrogate Hibari about the mysterious fact why the prefect hadn't graduate since he knew his age, but it backfired. In a sense that would left Hibari's fangirls fainting from blood lost. Not literally, though. Ryuuichi pushed back the urge to blush at the memory, and shook his head. Honestly, his hormones are getting to him now that he's back to being the typical hormonal teenager's phase.

"Come to think of it, Ryuuichi has never really get angry, right?" Tsuna suddenly said, snapping Ryuuichi out of his train of thought. Somehow, Yamamoto's face went solemn, which was surprising enough to see on the happy-go-lucky teen when there wasn't any danger lurking around.

"He has" Dread and horror was clearly written on Yamamoto's face, making Gokudera and Tsuna sweated. "What's with that reaction..." Ryuuichi raised an eyebrow at Yamamoto, pouting lightly as he bit onto the sweet egg roll. He did, years ago. He can't exactly remember what triggered it, but he blew his top and no one dared to look at him in the eyes for almost a week. It was something that most wouldn't talk about, but Gokudera and Tsuna was very interested.

"Really?!" "Details!" He sweated as they tried to squeeze information out of Yamamoto. Yamamoto, still had the horrified face, visibly shuddered at the memories and shook his head frantically, not wanting to say it. It was still too much to him. "Takeshi..." He stiffen at the first name usage and robotically turned to Ryuuichi, who was giving him a deadpan stare.

Ryuuichi blinked at the reaction and sighed, barely noting that he got tenser, shrugging. He felt that if he say anything more, Yamamoto might turn into a ghost seeing that the tall teen got paler by seconds. "Nothing" He turned away, suddenly realizing that he had used Yamamoto's first name. It kind of slipped, but he wanted to call him that. "Can I call you Takeshi, by the way?"

Amazingly, that had broke the teen's tension and the usual grin slipped back onto his face. "Sure!" (How he was able to switch mood so fast was beyond them all)

Gokudera gritted his teeth in annoyance and jealousy. He wanted to know about the details to Ryuuichi's anger, and he certainly didn't like it when Yamamoto was the only one who knows about it. He clicked his tongue, thinking of ways to force the teen to speak. Tsuna, on the other hand, had to suppress a shudder when a bad feeling dawned him.

And then Reborn kicked him from the back of his head and landed perfectly in the middle of them. Right. Of course. Reborn. "Let's try and make Ryuuichi angry then, seeing that everyone's so curious about it"

"NO!" "YES!" At this point, Ryuuichi had given up any logical thoughts on why this was happening as he kept his lunch box. "Everyone must participate and finish the task before school ends or.." The underlying threat was as clear as daylight to them, but Yamamoto was still reluctant to do it. But even he's unwilling to be the one greeting the punishment, so he gave in. He would just have to suffer no matter what he choose, would he.

A loud sigh was heard as they saw Ryuuichi standing up. "Well, whatever. However, I must say, annoy or irritate me is easy, but it would take one a thousand tries to anger me." A taunting smirk was seen before he walked out of the roof top. Once the door was close, he snickered and shook his head. He feel he would be laughing more than he would be angered.

------------------------------------------------------------

"Ryuu? Of course he gets angered before. He's not a robot" Tsuna winced a little at the nonchalant tone of the said teen's brother as Yuuichi wiped his sweat, leaning against a wall. They were having P.E at the moment, and they had to run tracks. Yuuichi and Tsuna, and a few others students ran first before Ryuuichi, Gokudera and Yamamoto along with the rest ran. Yuuichi was staring at his brother, who was talking to Yamamoto and Gokudera as they ran. He raised an eyebrow when he noticed Ryuuichi looked a little bit too amused. "Well, yeah.. But do you know what triggered it?" At that, he stiffly turned to the brunette, hand with his towel paused on his neck.

"You... Want to anger Ryuu?" If anything, Yuuichi looked more terrified than Yamamoto. It took every ounce of the brunette's guts not to back out of this. He rather not suffer Reborn's spartan punishment, which probably involved explosion and shooting. "U-umm.. I'm just interested...." He felt as though he had taken the wrong decision at Yuuichi's next reaction.

"NO! NONONO! Don't! Don't ever, ever, try to anger Ryuuichi without any good excuse!" Yuuichi had all but shouted, gaining some of their classmates' attention.

"B-but.." "Just, no, Okay?!" Okay he's hyperventilating a bit. Was that really necessary? "The hell are you guys talking about?" One very curious Ryuuichi with sweat on his forehead approached them. Tsuna jumped a little when the teen appeared, with a dejected Gokudera and a still pale Yamamoto tailing.

"O-o-oh! Ryuu! You done?! That's fast!" Ryuuichi raised his eyebrow at that, and looked at Tsuna, then looked back at Yuuichi. He put two and two together and 'Oh'. Ryuuichi smirked internally, but kept a confused face. He almost burst out in laughter, though. Fortunately he didn't. He walked to his water bottle and finished it in one go. He was feeling quite thirsty. After all, he did talked and ran at the same time with Gokudera and Yamamoto.

Both of them were beginning their attempt to anger him, with Gokudera threatening him to beat the living hell out of him, and Yamamoto threatening to steal Yuuichi away. Yamamoto had the luck to trigger him a little, but not much so he with a very, very, sweet smile told Yamamoto that he would 'bite him to death' if he did. (Yes, he used Hibari's term because yes, he would be literally biting Yamamoto to death if he did. Well, not actually to death because he knew that Yamamoto wouldn't dare to do anything to his brother, let alone hurt him) That, had the teen stumble and frozen for a millisecond. Even Gokudera paled a little. (Ryuuichi, was mildly aware that Reborn was filming everything somewhere)

Little do they know, Ryuuichi was actually laughing like a mad man internally.

Deciding that he would have a little more fun, he kept up the act. "So, mind telling me? I'm curious" Ryuuichi tilted his head to give a little more effect, to which Yuuichi stuttered and stumbled with his words. "U-u-um! We're just talking about- about... Hibari! Yeah! We're talking about Hibari!"

"Huh. What about Hibari?"

"Y-you see.. That is.. E-ehh.. Hibari seems to be quite merciful these days, n-no?" Ryuuichi hummed, nodding slightly. True, the prefect had been quite kind these days. Perhaps it was because they had came back to his beloved, peaceful Namimori? Well, Ryuuichi didn't know. He did know, however, that Hibari would stare at him for who-knows-what-bloody-reason whenever he stumbled across the prefect. It unnerved him.

"Is that so..." Yuuichi nodded frantically, quickly pushed himself away from the wall and walked away, pulling Ryuuichi along. "L-let's go! We'll be late for the next class if we don't change now!" Tsuna and Gokudera exchanged looks while Yamamoto, remained pale.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Okay, Ryuuichi would like to take back whatever his thoughts about this would be amusing. It's hilarious to see them try, yes, but not when Hibari was dragged in. Ryohei was to participate too. Damn Reborn had told them to join, with a secret prize if they managed to anger him. Ryuuichi had no desire to know what the secret prize is, for he had a very bad feeling about what Reborn had planned.

First, in class, they were having free period since the teachers were having a sudden meeting, so Gokudera and Tsuna tried again. They tried throwing things at him, shouting at him for no particular reason, threaten to gouge his eyeballs out, and tried to carry him bridal-style. Well, Gokudera did. (He had no idea how would carrying him like that would make him angry. Seriously, what was going on in Gokudera's mind) Tsuna had tried pushing him out of his chair, and kicked him. Yamamoto, timidly if he might add, tried to pull him into a headlock, choking him outright, only to stop when Ryuuichi did nothing to push him away.

He amusedly watched them silently, but made no move to stop them. They were, surprisingly, tensed just by a simple look. It was his normal poker face, and he had no idea why they would flinch from it. Probably because those things they did would usually annoys people, but he had showed no reaction. When Tsuna tried his last attempt, by pulling him up by his collar and shouting like a gangster, he had pulled the brunette down to his lap, causing him straddling him. (Honestly, Tsuna's gangster facade looked more like a kitten who ate lemon by accident)

"Heh~ So you want to kill me?" He smirked, one hand tilting Tsuna's chin up, looking into his eyes while the other rubbed the brunette's lower back. Tsuna looked absolutely like a tomato, as he tried to push him away. He kept his arms around the brunette, careful not to let go of him just in case he fell down onto the ground. "How about I kiss you first?" He asked lowly, leaning in.

"H-hieeee!!!" And he pecked the brunette's forehead. He backed away, took a good look at Tsuna's burning face before turning away, body shaking of laughter. He tried to keep it in, but ended up bursting out loud, letting go of Tsuna. Tsuna immediately scrambled out of his lap and hid behind both Gokudera and Yamamoto. The latter two were sporting red faces too. In fact, most of his classmate were. Especially the girls. Yuuichi was looking at him as though he had grew another head, but even his face were red.

He stifled his laughter to a stop, breathing loudly to get oxygen back into his lungs. "Well, that was fun" He chuckled again.

(The whole time, his classmates were looking at him and the trio, as they kept rilling Ryuuichi up for no particular reason. Those who had seen him riled up, had long ran away while the rest watched with curiosity. They've absolutely no idea what happened, because all of them had blinked and in split second, Tsuna was on Ryuuichi's lap, with the latter somehow.. seducing him? God, they didn't knew Ryuuichi was this, seductive.)

Suddenly, the doors were slammed open. Yes. Doors. The front door, stood a certain prefect. The back, stood a panting boxer. They scanned the silent as grave yard classroom, and two pairs of eyes landed on Ryuuichi. The teen blinked in surprise when they stomped to him and stood up.

"Senpa-" He was just about to greet them when Ryohei suddenly yelled. "EXTREME GREETINGS, RYUUICHI!" And a right hook was given to Ryuuichi. He barely have time to dodge it when an incoming tonfa came right to his face. Fortunately, he managed to dodge both of it in the nick of time. "DON'T DODGE, RYUUICHI!" "Stay still"

"AS IF I WOULDN'T AND NO!" He managed to slip through the gap between Hibari and Ryohei and dashed off, out of the classroom. He was mildly aware that they were both hots on his tail as he cursed Reborn for this.

(When they disappeared, the rest in the classroom blinked, wondering what had just happened. Even Yuuichi)

------------------------------------------------------------

If one would say that Ryuuichi looked angered, no. They're plain blind. Ryuuichi was definitely not angered. He was damn irritated. He had to run away from a hot headed senpai and another blood thirsty one for almost an hour. Damn, they were sure stubborn. He could feel his leg giving up on the stairs up to the roof top, with two others still chasing after him. He briefly wondered why there weren't any teacher stopping them, but he had guessed it was because of Hibari. Damn that prefect.

Muttering a curse as he, he slammed open the door and close it loudly, immediately jumping over the fence and down. A rush of adrenaline and strings of rainbow words in many languages he knew slipped out. He had forgotten fear in turn to escape Ryohei and Hibari. He seriously didn't want to fight them. He took a quick glance around, making sure that there weren't anyone around and used his Sky flames to soften his landing. Similar to how Tsuna usually did, he thrust his hands down, ring glinted once and soft, transparent, orange flame burst out from his palm as he slowly descended on the ground. He stumbled a little on the landing and whistled in amazement. He didn't knew that he could do that. 'Well, that was new..'

And then he remembered why he had jumped down. He looked up and saw Hibari and Ryohei looking down at him, Ryohei was in awe. He knew the prefect would jump down, so he quickly ran away, disappearing through the corner of the school building. He quickly took refugee in the small janitor closet, locking the door from inside. He took out his phone and silent it, sighing inaudibly. Looks like he would have to hide until those two give up.

Too bad they don't have the word 'give up' in their dictionary.

------------------------------------------------------------

Tsuna sighed, wondering what he had gotten himself into. He, Gokudera, Yamamoto and Yuuichi had decided to find Ryuuichi and his chaser when Ryuuichi hadn't appear after one and a half period. Fortunately, their teacher allowed. (Actually, Yuuichi was glaring at said teacher, daring him to say otherwise) So they split up. Gokudera, Yamamoto and Yuuichi took the school building, gymnasium and the laboratory, and many other places Ryuuichi would go, while he took the courtyard and the back of the school.

Bad mistake.

He shouldn't have waltzed into the bully and gangster port, which was the accursed, back of the sacred school of Hibari Kyouya. They were betting and skipping class. Worst. Smoking. He had saw it. Those guys had saw him saw them breaking the rules Hibari Kyouya had placed. He mentally shrieked and hurriedly turned around, wanting to run away before they catch him.

"Oh? Isn't that Dame-Tsuna?" Move! Leg! Moveee!

Two of the five bullies walked up to him, pulling him to who he presumed, the leader of the gang. He was sweating bullets as he dug his heels onto the ground in futile attempt to stop getting dragged towards the ugly dude. 'Nooo!'

And he was pushed down to kneeling position in front of the leader. He tried to look anywhere but the one in front of him, but a hand jerked his chin upwards. The foul smell of tobacco filled him. It wasn't like the one he frequently smelt when he was with Gokudera. Gokudera's more, acceptable, despite that the smoke created by that burning, cancer stick could potentially kill someone. (Mental note to Tsuna, coax the bomber to slowly quite smoking) This one was seriously disgusting. He felt like puking his guts out.

"Hmm... Since you have seen us, what should we do to you?" The leader asked almost gleefully, grinning like a mad man. His underlings started giving suggestions like beating Tsuna up into a bloody mess, make him an errant boy (Quite merciful, bless this one) and one even said to do that to him! (Curse this one to the seventh hell! He definitely do not need the birds and bees lesson!) By the time the leader silent his underlings for what seems to be a mock consideration, he was very pale, as though he had just saw Nure Onna passing by.

"Dame-Tsuna sure looks like a girl, no? How bout we make you into our slave? Hm?" By the time the leader finished his sentence he had shrieked out loud in a volume that he hadn't thought he would achieve. They laughed in glee at the brunette's supposed fear, not knowing that Tsuna was actually thinking of ways to escape without accidentally kill them. (Nope. Tsuna wasn't afraid. He, after all, could overpower a powerful maniac who wanted to be worshiped as a devil King. Nope. This was nothing but a small situation for him)

A loud slam metal door opening was heard.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Ryuuichi had being hiding in the crammed closet, which shouldn't even be considered as a janitor closet as there weren't a single thing in it except for a broken broom, for quite a long time that his legs felt numb. He hadn't take note how long, but he had almost fallen asleep, only to be awaken by thundering footsteps and stupid sounding laughter passing by. 'The gangsters of our school.. huh' He had somehow guessed they were skipping classes, and breaking the rules. He made a mental note to tell Hibari once he had done hiding.

Not much time later, he heard a familiar name from one of the rule breakers. He tensed up and listened to their conversations through the metal closet. A hand slipped to his phone, just in case he needed to phone Hibari immediately, rather than later while the other gripped on the handle of the door, lock undone. When he heard the shriek, he slammed the door open hands already dialed Hibari's number. It was taken at the second ring.

He stepped out of it, a cold, emotionless face plastered as he ignored the fact that his legs were still numb. A scowl ebbed on his face when two of those hormonal shits were in position, ready to strip the brunette. The leader returned a scowl of his own to him as he stood up, glaring him.

"Who the hell are you?" Behind the leader, a smarter underling of his trembled when he recognized Ryuuichi. Ryuuichi, on the other hand, spared not even a second glance at him and stalked towards Tsuna. He narrowed his eyes at the two behind Tsuna and was about to grab him, when they pulled Tsuna back and push him, taunting him.

"Oi. Who said you could take our prey?" The leader then suddenly smirked, as though Christmas had came early. "I remember now. You're the top student. Shiroki Ryuuichi was it?" He arrogantly walked nearer towards the said teen, leaning near his face. Although Ryuuichi was disgusted, he showed no emotion.

"You have a twin, don't 'cha? How 'bout the both of you become our bitches together with Dame-Tsuna here? You guys sure look cute" Ryuuichi did twitched at that. He slipped his phone back into his pocket and glared icily at the leader.

"Back off, would you? You smell like shit" He tilted his head down slightly, releasing a dark aura that screamed 'cross and die'. Unfortunately, the leader and his underlings (save for the one frozen on his spot) hadn't get the message behind it whilst his underlings laughed as though he was joking, while the one in front of him looked as though he was popping a vein. Oh wait, he was.

"Looks like our friend here wants a punishment. Shall we give him one, boys?" The leader backed away, smirking once again as his underlings moved towards him, even the one grabbing Tsuna so that he wouldn't escape. "After you, we'll go grab your brother to join you, eh? So wait tightly and enjoy~" Okay, Ryuuichi snapped.

His eyes were shaded by his bangs, the temperature around them dropped a few degrees as he lowly spoke. "Tsuna, stand further away" The said brunette shuddered at the murderous intent slipping out of the teen's voice and quickly did as he told. He suddenly was very well aware that they had not just managed to anger Ryuuichi. No. Ryuuichi wasn't just angered. Ryuuichi was downright furious.

"Hoh? Confident, aren't ya?" Underling One taunted as Underling Two moved to grab his collar. But before Underling Two managed to touch even a hair from him, he grabbed the offending wrist tightly and turned around, bending down low and kicked Underling Two, throwing him onto the ground with a loud thud. He made sure he had almost crush the wrist before letting go. Underling One and Three were surprised by the sudden move. They snapped out of it when Underling Two groaned loudly in pain, and with a roar, they rushed forward fists raised to punch Ryuuichi.

Ryuuichi glanced at the incoming attacks through the edge of his eyes, ducked low enough to dodge Underling One's fist and bend up in split seconds to avoid Underling Three's. His punched Underling One's stomach with a strength rivaling Ryohei's punch, causing him to cough out. He elbowed the other one right on his throat, choking him. He then immediately went down low and swept them off their feet.

The leader was beyond shocked at that but he wouldn't back down from the obvious challenge Ryuuichi had showed him. He threw his cigarette down to the ground, crushing it once and attacked Ryuuichi. Ryuuichi dodge the incoming punch, face still void of emotion other than the obvious fact that he was furious. The leader was much better than his underlings, clearly had learned self defense before seeing how the leader's body moved with strict and sharp motions.

Too bad that despite Ryuuichi himself learned self defenses as well, he doesn't really stick to any one and just go with the flow, which meant he could switch techniques faster. He step sideways, dodging each punch with ease as he watched the leader with bored eyes.

Of course, the leader knew he would probably lose, so he dug out a penknife and tried to stab Ryuuichi. Ryuuichi frowned at the clicking sound of the blade being pushed out. He jumped back a step, another leg bring up fast and kicked the leader at his chest. The leader were thrown back by the kick, dropping on his back side.

His underlings were persistent as they stood back up and attacked him. He clicked his tongue, annoyed by the fact and quickly finish them. Each and one of them dropped down in a heap of bruised bodies. None of them could stand up again. The leader used his one last chance to get away, and was also the stupidest idea of all. He grabbed Tsuna and held his penknife near the brunette throat.

Tsuna was watching in awe when he was suddenly pulled back and a cold metal slid near his throat. He didn't even dare to swallow as he watched Ryuuichi emitting more and more murderous aura. Hibari, Yuuichi, Gokudera and Yamamoto, even Ryohei, suddenly appeared behind the teen. Gokudera and Ryohei was about to shout bloody murder at the leader but was choked by the suffocating aura. Hibari had his tonfa out, ready to attack but he stopped short upon seeing Ryuuichi. Yuuichi and Yamamoto, on the other hand, turned pale, once again.

"D-don't come closer or I'll kill him!" Wait an idiot.

Ryuuichi sauntered forward, daring him to do it. "B-back off! I'll really do it!" But he didn't. When Ryuuichi was near enough, he pulled away the hand that held the penknife away from Tsuna's throat with a force that would pull the arm out of it's socket. He grabbed Tsuna, however with care, and pushed him towards the others gently. His vice grip tighten on the wrist, cutting the blood stream. (Oh he was very well aware of the other's presences. He was well aware that the leader was in great pain too, he couldn't help and enjoy his suffering)

The leader cried out, hand losing grip on the penknife as it dropped onto the ground. He tried to pried the hands off to no avail. Ryuuichi mocked a sigh as he spoke coldly.

"Honestly, I've nothing against your minions," He finally let go, and punch the leader. The leader, once again, dropped onto the ground. He was about to push himself up again but a foot stomped on his chest. He coughed, feeling suffocated. "But you." He trembled in fear at the voice.

"Us? Bitches? Why don't you assholes go sell yourself instead?" Hibari growled lowly at the word. Ryuuichi paid no heed to that and stepped harder. He leaned down, glaring right into the leader's eyes. "On a second thought, how about I punish you instead? Hmm?" And the leader was out. Ryuuichi wasn't exactly impressed at the fainted guy, and stood straight up. When he did, he finally noticed the cowering Underling. The one that hadn't done anything at all.

He tilted his head. "Change your ways before I change your genders" Then he smile. "Alright?" The poor guy almost peed himself as he frantically nodded. Ryuuichi nodded back once, before turning around. He passed them, showing an index finger to Yuuichi. "I'll leave the rest to you, Hibari" He walked out of their sight, facing the wall, and punched it.

God, he was still angry about that. He had all but want to just castrate them. But of course, he wouldn't do that kind of stuff. He breathed in and out, counting down from ten. When he finally calmed down. He sighed. When he turned once again, he saw a terrified Yamamoto, Gokudera and Tsuna, and a concern yet pale Yuuichi.

One thing ran in the their mind was, 'Ryuuichi scorn fury like no hell does'.

(Self note to all of them. Never ever anger Ryuuichi up.

Reborn was smirking as he filmed everything down the whole time. Oh how much fun he had)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A/N= Ahem... I've no idea what happened there lol

Next chapter will be the first of Inheritance Ceremony/ Shimon Arc!

I apologize in advance for the slight cursing there. And the innuendos. *sweat drop*

Nure Onna- A Japanese spirit that has a body of a snake and a head of a woman.

Fun Fact= Ryuuichi was called Demon not just because of the incident with Yuuichi, but there's one time when this tyrant teacher had the accused him for cheating when he had gotten the highest score for this subject and had the audacity to drag his parents in. Said teacher forever traumatized simply just by verbal retorts and insults. Sarcasms included.

Hibari staring = Hibari observing.

For the secret prize, no one won since the one angered Ryuuichi wasn't one of them. Even if Tsuna did it indirectly. (Reborn was simply trying to make everything difficult for him)

This chapter is so random I've no idea what should I do lol.

The thrusting flame down thingy Ryuuichi did was a one time thing. I don't think it will appear again.

Ryuuichi and Yuuichi ended up in 2-A along with Tsuna and the others. I hadn't mention about it because it had somehow slipped and that the time skips in between arcs were.. Quite big.  

There might be missing words here and there because. Well. Shits happened.

[I apologize for any grammar, spelling, etc.etc. mistakes]
