四 Truth Gets Out

     Gokudera hadn’t thought about [Name] for the past couple of months. Mainly because he immersed himself in his work, tenfold, and studied even more than usual. He didn’t want to feel the inevitable guilt that was bound to come his way. So, when he asked the tenth for extra missions, Tsuna didn’t think anything of it and obliged the silver-haired bomber.

            However, Tsuna’s hyper intuition, or maybe him just being good friends with Gokudera, told him that something was wrong with the bomber. So, going on this, he started questioning his mafia family. He decided not to ask Gokudera himself, cause that would more than likely just result in Gokudera evading the question and telling him that he needn’t worry about it.

            Tsuna had asked most of the Vongola, until he came to Ryohei and started getting some answers. Some shocking answers.

            “Gokudera and [Name] broke up…”

            “Gokudera’s trying his best not to think about it, to the EXTREME!”

            Ryohei then leaned over the desk and whispered in a not-so-quiet Ryohei way, “Don’t say anything, Hibari would kill me, but Gokudera got [Name] pregnant. Kusakabe told me… secretly. Gokudera doesn’t know about it. Hibari has been taking care of her.”

            Tsuna’s eyes widened and he abruptly stood up from his chair, slamming the palms of his hands on his desk, “What?! …Are you sure?”

            They didn’t know that a certain silver-haired bomber had, unintentionally, heard their conversation, and his fuse was about to explode.

Gokudera wasted no time and getting over to his and [Name]’s old place. But, once he arrived he couldn’t bring himself to knock on the door. It was true, his anger and jealousy had brought him here. But, his guilt was eating at him so much that he couldn’t bring himself to move passed the mailbox. He stood there, rigid and unmoving, just staring.

            ‘Why the hell would Hibari of all people be helping [Name]?!’ His thoughts started going in wild directions, and before he could remember the haunting night he left, he stormed forward and hurriedly knocked on the door.

            He knocked, and knocked, and knocked.

            “What the hell?! [Name] open up the damn door!”

            [Name] stayed shocked still on the couch, she stopped breathing and her hand went to protectively cover her abdomen. She wasn’t going to open up the door for Gokudera, but she was terrified. Her hand shook as she reached for her cellphone, and when Hibari finally picked up on the other end, in a gruff voice, her voice stuttered and her words were wobbly as she tried her best to talk.

            “K-kyoya... Hayato is a-at my d-door… He sounds pissed and I…” Her voice broke off and a small sob slipped passed her lips.

            Kyoya didn’t speak; he simply clenched his teeth, smoothed his anger a bit, and replied, “I’ll be right there. Don’t worry.”

            And he was, a few minutes later. He had ran as fast as he could there. Sweat dripped from his brow as his sharp eyes looked around for Gokudera Hayato. And with his hands in his pockets he stalked forward and stopped behind the silver-haired man, who was still pounding heatedly on [Name]’s door.

            Hibari walked forward, without saying a word, and his hand reached out to grab Gokudera’s shoulder, to stop him.

            Gokudera jerked and when he noticed it was Hibari he swatted Hibari’s hand away. Hibari’s eyes narrowed and he clenched his fist as he watched Gokudera. Gokudera bound forward, eyes aflame with seething anger, and both of his fists clenched at his sides.

            [Name] had slid down against the wall and leaned herself against it as she listened to their exchange with bated breath and a pounding heart.

            “Are you going to tell me why you’re here?!” Gokudera yelled, he was like a wild cat that wanted to pounce, but Hibari was silent as stared him down. Which made Gokudera even more pissed off.

            “I heard that [Name] was pregnant and that it was mine!”

            Hibari crossed his arms over his chest; he wasn’t sure what to say to him or how to react. He had never been close to Gokudera and he had recently become close to [Name], but he did know one thing. He did not want Gokudera hurting her, she had been through enough.

            Hibari’s silence finally got to Gokudera; he stepped forward and grabbed Hibari by the collar of his shirt.

            “Why the hell won’t you say anything?!” Gokudera was fuming, but the Cloud Guardian’s words made it all the worse.

            “I want you to leave her alone.”

            Gokudera scoffed and his grip on Hibari’s collar tightened. He growled as he pushed at Hibari’s chest. Hibari was trying to control his tendencies to bite people to death, especially on this Herbivore, but he didn’t want to do something that would cause [Name] worry in any way. Hibari’s eyebrows furrowed in confusion as he pushed those unknown thoughts away.

            “She doesn’t want you here, Herbivore.”

            Gokudera’s expression changed in an instant, like he had finally realized something. “It’s not my baby is it? It’s yours! You’ve been screwing around with the whore, haven’t you?!”

            Hibari’s eyes glared and narrowed at Gokudera like daggers. “Shut up. Stupid. She’s not a whore, and if you don’t get off her property this instant you won’t like the consequences.”

            Gokudera became even more furious; he growled and stepped forward, aiming for Hibari. But, when Hibari’s stance changed and he pulled out his tonfa, Gokudera took a step back.

            “Get lost, Herbivore. Don’t come back here.”

            Gokudera glared at Hibari, “This isn’t over! I’ll be back here…” He whispered the last of his words and started walking off.

            Hibari, however, turned around to face the door of [Name]’s house. He was just about to knock and tell her to let him in, but he didn’t have to. In a matter of seconds, [Name] jerked the door open and threw herself in Hibari’s arms. Hot tears slipped quickly out her eyes and stained his shirt. His arms hesitantly reached out and wrapped around her. He muttered a simple, “He’s gone.” Before he walked them back inside.

            [Name]’s grip around him was so tight that he didn’t get as far as the couch before he sat down and let her cry herself to sleep. All the while he was thinking that he had to do something for her, and the baby of course. He knew she had her reasons why she didn’t want Gokudera to have anything to do with her or the baby. He understood.

            Hibari’s gaze went to [Name], her face was buried in his chest and she was sleeping soundly from all the crying she had done. He hadn’t seen her act this weak in while. He sighed and his fingers fished around in his coat pocket until he found his cellphone and dialed a number.

            “Tetsuya, I need you to do something for me.”
