It had worked well, Ryuutaro fit right in. the girl's had taken a shine to Ryuutaro, they found he was adorable and sweet... and what girl wouldn't squeal over a fortune-teller? Tsuna had meekly tried to make Ryuutaro feel more welcome, but ended up somehow getting weirded out or intimidated by Ryuutaro and just backed away and watched from the sidelines. Yamamoto was in the hospital, and had yet to meet him... and Lambo... well... Lambo was Lambo. He pissed off Gokudera which resulted in people having to hold the teen back to keep him from playing a game of 'kick the baby'. Hibari, of course, made himself scarce, and Bianchi would look out for the two boys... while occasionally trolling Gokudera with her face.

Hayato smiled brightly... but at the same time he also looked a bit worried.

"I haven't seen the blackberries at all... and I've been here for three weeks now... Ryuutaro... I think that this time... that maybe... we're here together."

And he reaches out to hold one of Ryuutaro's hands in both of his. He was happy... but afraid how Ryuutaro would handle not being able to go to his own home world again. He knew how important beyblading was to Ryuutaro... and being stuck in a world he didn't understand. Not to mention they had been stuck in the underground fortress... if they went above ground then they would be hunted down. Though Hayato had a plan to get Ryuutaro 'outside' for a little while.
