Kingdom Hearts: Reborn!
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters; I'm just…playing with them for a bit.
Tsunayoshi Sawada groaned and rolled onto his side, only to shoot up when water was tossed over his head, "I knew I'd find you slacking, lazy."
"H-Haru…I wasn't slacking!" Tsuna insisted as he flicked his hair out of his eyes, "I was…um…"
"…Being Lazy? Yes, I know." Haru said, before sighing and placing her hands on her hips, "You were supposed to be helping Mukuro gather stuff for the raft. Or did you forget?"
"Er…I was just taking a break." Tsuna said sheepishly.
Haru raised a single brow, and sighed, "Sure, you were."
Tsuna laughed weakly, "What was I supposed to be looking for again?"
She groaned and buried her face in her hands, "Tsunayoshi Sawada! How could you forget? I wrote it down for you!"
"Erm…I lost it…?"
"I give up," Haru moaned, sitting in the sand next to him, "Why couldn't I have normal friends?"
"Cause you'd be bored out of your mind playing dolls and dress-up with the other girls," Tsuna said with a laugh as he laid back in the sand, "Besides, we have time. It's not like all of those other worlds are just gonna vanish if we don't finish the raft today."
Haru laughed, "You are a horrible influence, and Mukuro is going to wonder why we aren't working."
"Mukuro already knows that the two of you are being lazy," He walked over with a cloth tucked under one arm, "So…am I the only one working today?"
"He started it," Haru countered, pointing at the boy sunning himself next to her.
"Uh-huh," Mukuro tossed Haru the makeshift sail and sat on the other side of Tsuna, "I can't help but notice that you are being just as lazy as he is."
"Haru wanted to know why she didn't have normal friends," Tsuna offered, without opening his eyes.
Mukuro grinned at his only female friend, "That, my dear, is because the last time you tried to spend time with Selphie you ended up breaking her nose when you punched her."
Haru coughed and blushed, "I…do not recall any such occurrence." She jumped to her feet, "We need to work on the raft!"
"Changing the subject much, Little Miss Violent?" Tsuna murmured.
Haru twitched and kicked him in the side, "What was that, Tsu-na?"
He groaned in pain, "Gods, you're violent."
"Easy Haru," Mukuro said with a laugh, "She's right, we do need to get back to work." He smirked at Tsuna, "Race you."
"What? Are you serious? She just kicked me!" Tsuna sputtered.
"Excuses, excuses;" Mukuro replied with a widening grin, "I mean, even if she hadn't of kicked you, you'd still lose, but…"
Tsuna jumped to his feet, nursing his side. "Wrong! Haru do the count!"
She shook her head, "Ready…set…GO!" And, on her mark, they both took off towards the raft, with Haru walking behind them with the makeshift sail resting in her arms.
Disney Castle
"Good Morning, Sire!" Hayato Gokudera, Mage-In-Training under Donald Duck, said as he walked into the throne room where the King and his most loyal advisors would, normally, be waiting.
Except not this morning; this morning the Throne Room was empty, with the exception of Pluto, who was sitting in front of King Mickey's throne, whining.
"Where's the king, boy?" Hayato asked, as Pluto lay on the ground and whimpered. "What's this?" lying on the throne was a letter addressed to him.
Dear Hayato,
Please forgive me for leaving so suddenly, but trouble is brewing and there is no time to lose. I'm not sure why, but the stars have been blinking out…one by one.
I hate to leave you so suddenly, but I need to look into this. And, because the situation may become dangerous, I took Donald and Goofy with me. I apologize that this has cut into your, and Takeshi's, training…but it had to be done.
As King, I have a favor to ask of you and Takeshi.
There is someone out there with a key – the key to our survival, I need you and Takeshi to find him and stick with him! Got it?
So go to Traverse Town and find Leon, he'll point you in the right direction.
Signed,
King Mickey, Mage Donald Duck, and Knight Goofy
PS – will you apologize to Minnie and Daisy for us? Thanks.
Hayato blinked, twice, turned on his heel and calmly, very, very calmly, walked out of the throne room to find his friend. If he knew Takeshi, the idiot would be either sleeping, or practicing with his sword…
…he was sleeping.
Hayato stared at the sleeping boy, sighed, and shouted, "WAKE UP IDIOT!"
Takeshi yawned and sat up, "What's wrong, Hayato?"
"We have an emergency, but you can't tell anyone!"
Takeshi blinked, "Queen Minnie and Lady Daisy?"
"I said, you can't tell ANYONE!" Hayato hissed.
Takeshi grinned, "Good Morning," He offered to the two women who were standing behind the silver-haired boy. Hayato blanched and turned to look at the unamused women.
"Tell us what, Hayato?" Queen Minnie asked softly.
"Ah…"
Vongola Islands
"So…we're almost done." Tsuna said as he stood to admire the boat that they were almost done making.
"We should stop for now," Haru said, "It's getting late, and we can get the supplies tomorrow."
Mukuro nodded, "It's not like the other worlds are going anywhere, right?"
"What do you suppose they're like?" Tsuna asked, "The other worlds?"
"Who knows?" Haru replied, "I bet they're great though! We'll learn so much, see so much!"
"Be able to go on real adventures," Mukuro continued, "Not be bored out of our minds all of the time…This is going to be great."
Tsuna laughed, "I can't wait. Can we finish tonight?"
"No," Mukuro said, "There's no point, we'll go home, and get some rest, and come back tomorrow to finish."
Haru laughed, "Come on," She said as she headed towards the docks, "We came here together, remember?" She beamed at them, "We'll come back tomorrow, and then we'll be ready."
Mukuro grinned and nudged Tsuna, "Come on, Lazy. I'll race you both to the docks. Winner gets to be captain of the raft."
"Oh, you're on!" Tsuna grinned.
"You won't win!" Haru yelped.
And, laughing, the three young teens raced across the beach to get to their boat first.
