Don't Jump
Basic topics: very light tsunaxkyouko, no worries, isn't as strong as "Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder" or "The Mist and the Cloud" (can't even compare!), epic-ness (hopefully), takes place in future (ten years?)
DISCLAIMER: katekyo hitman reborn! (or whatever u prefer to call it) does not belong to kyoumen or fumei. happy copyright people?
Background info: Chrome/Mukuro isn't here, they're. . . visiting kokuyo land? (idk, but they aren't here) Neither is hibari. . . (probably watching over Namimori) Neither is Haru (pretend she never made it in the storyline to this point (she exists, but not part of the story)). And I have created a new nemesis (mwahahahaaaa)
oh, and before i forget, this fic is based on a song, Don't Jump by Tokio Hotel (hence the title). Tokio Hotel and the song does NOT belong to kyoumen or fumei either. Heck nothing belongs to us except the idea and the fic itself, none of the other stuff is ours. BTW, the song-based-part doesn't start (hah! a rhyme) till later. If u know the song, you'll know when it begins.
"Gianini, how does it look?"
"Nobody else is in the vicinity, Juudaime."
"Perfect."
Tsuna motioned from his hiding spot, and all seven guardians moved in.
"Oi! Yakyu-baka! Don't be so relaxed! We need to complete this mission for Shimon."
"Ahaha! Calm down, Gokudera. This one's probably the easiest one yet."
"Yare yare. . . Stupidera, Yamamoto's right, this one's going to be a breeze."
"I'm siding with Octopus head on this one, kyokugen. However easy the mission, we still need to be ready, kyokugen, even if just a favor for Enma."
"Minna san," he whispered, "we're almost there."
The guardians narrowed their eyes in turn, alert whenever their leader spoke.
"Sorry for interrupting, Tenth, but now would be best to infiltrate."
"Got it, Gianini-san."
"See ya later!" the rain guardian cheerfully waved back, leaning casually against the wall, looking for outside guards.
"Be careful, yakyu-baka."
"No need to worry, just hurry on in."
"Pfft! Me? Worry? More like your sorry butt getting kicked cause you aren't paying attention."
Inside the Fortress. . .
"Go ahead Lambo," Tsuna whispered into the communication devices shared by them all.
"Going, Tenth," the Lightning Guardian saluted, then snuck off with a couple grenades in his hands.
A couple minutes later, a loud BANG! was heard, followed by the sound of running feet and the scratch of static.
With a quick nod, Gokudera and Ryohei took off as well, with sounds of punching, "KYOKUGEN!", the BOOM! of dynamite, and an "OI! GET OFF URI!". Checking each corridor, Tsuna advanced toward the goal with a half smile. Tsuna approached the glass case in the relatively small safe room. After a quick punch on the failing security pad the ring was revealed.
"Oh? I see you found it, Vongola Tenth."
"Who are you?" Tsuna asked, looking around for the owner of the voice, immediately cautious.
"Oh? Who am I? I am Akumu, and I will cause a nightmare for you, famed Tenth."
Said tenth narrowed his eyes, and swallowed a pill, igniting his flame.
"Whoever you are, you aren't getting in my way."
"Oh? Really?"
Tsuna noticed his opponent's flame poking out from the shadows, a strange, pale blue. He charged forward, about to punch when, WHAM!
"Nani?" Tsuna wondered, his fist having embedded itself into a pillar of snow, the sky flames hissing from the contact with the cold column.
"I forgot to mention. My flame is snow. I apologize, Juudaime," the cloak-clad girl mock-bowed.
Snow? I've never heard of it.
"Not many others have my flame," she sighed, looking at her glowing fist, "but hey, it fits my cold demeanor. Bufera de Neve."
Invisible winds picked up from nowhere, joined by flying snow and bits of ice.
"Geh," Tsuna grunted, igniting "soft" flames in an attempt to melt the storm.
"Oh, that won't work," Akumu stated, "my blizzard works just as well as your Zero Point Breakthrough, harnessing the Snow Attribute of Freezing. It turns your flames to ice and my winds shatter those chunks into shards. You'll only be decreasing your vision, blasting around like that."
"Kuso," he breathed, closing his eyes, "Operation X."
"Oh? Well isn't this my lucky day? I get to see the famed X-Burner. . . and defeat it."
The Vongola Tenth narrowed his eyes, building up the balance of soft flames.
"X-Burner!"
The darker, clearer flames swept the room, filling the space and easily melting the glass case like butter.
"Oh? Pretty impressive, Tenth. Nearly scorched me."
Tsuna's eyes widened. In such a small room and only steaming?
"Oh, and I wouldn't be concerned about me combusting, look at yourself," she pointed a finger at the X-Gloves.
Tsuna looked down, looking at his gloves, now encased in spiky ice and lumps of snow. He then looked around, seeing everything encased in ice, all connected to him, planting him to the ground.
Shit, he thought shivering, it's getting colder.
"O-Oper-ration XX," he muttered.
"Oh? That won't work. But it's not me to decide what you do. Besides, the more the merrier!"
Tsuna gritted his teeth. She's probably right, unfortunatly. But that doesn't stop me from trying.
Outside where Gokudera and Ryohei are. . .
"Shigure Soen Ryu, Third Form, Yazaru no Ame."
Yamamoto kicked his katana, neatly stabbing a random guy straight through the gut, pulling out the bloodied sword as he flew past.
"First Form, Shajiku no Ame," the Rain Guardian landed lightly on his feet. "Oi, Gokudera, what's taking so long?"
"What do you mean, Yakyu-baka? You're supposed to be outside! Rocket Bomb!"
"It's been half an hour. Weren't we planning to be done in ten minutes? Eighth Form, Shinotsuku Ame."
Gokudera stopped in his tracks. We were. . .
"Oi, yakyu-baka! Stay here! There aren't as many guards now. Same to you turf-head!"
"KYOKUGEN!"
"When you guys are done, bring Ahoushi and head for the safe!" he called over his shoulder.
Juudaime, please be safe. . .
Back in the safe room. . .
Kuso, Tsuna thought, now I know how Xanxus felt. And he was right, almost. The Tenth's body was covered in thick ice, up to his neck. He glared at Akumu, with her long black hair, purple eyes. . . and her unnerving otaku smile.
"Oh? Juudaime's getting mad? Well, shall I try this ring for size?"
She lifted the sparkling ring, with it's rainbow gem, slipping it on her middle finger and igniting her pale snow flame.
"Oh and what do you know? It works for snow! Happy days."
Outside the safe room a couple minutes later. . .
Gokudera forced the sliding doors open, and what he saw astounded him. He couldn't even enter, being confronted by a wall of ice. Scratched into this, was a note.
Dear Gokudera-san,
Oh? Looks like you found your precious Juudaime. Have fun getting him out! This whole rooms an ice-block see? Oh, and it'll take a good plenty of fiamma volts to take him out. Oh? Are you getting mad? Don't worry about me, or somebody will never live to see the outside world again.
Akumu
"OI!" he screamed into his mic, "TURF HEAD, YAKYU-BAKA, AHOUSHI! GET TO THE SAFE NOW!"
"What is it, octopus-head?" Ryohei asked, calmly walking in with the others. All four guardians stared at the ice entrance ahead.
"We need to blast Juudaime out. NOW."
As if all were on the same thought, they started blasting pure flames at the entrance, easily breaking down the rest of the walls.
"No shit. . ." Yamamoto breathed.
Without the walls covering the safe, they could see the ring was gone, and Tsuna, looking like he was blasting downwards, frozen stiff in the sparkling ice.
A quick trip to the past. . .
"Tsuna-san. What are you doing here?" Kyouko asked, suprised at seeing Tsuna at her door.
"K-Kyoko-chan? I-I love you! Please be with me! I will make sure nothing ever happens to you, you will never be in danger! I promise I will never hurt you." He'd looked down, fists trembling at his sides. "W-Will you. . . be with me?"
She looked at him, taken aback at the sudden confession and wondering, What danger?
"Umm. . . Tsuna-san? Can you give me a day to. . . think about it?"
"O-Of course! Kyoko-chan. . ."
He'd waited for an answer that night, unable to sleep, worried about what she might say.
"Oi, Dame-Tsuna!" Reborn greeted with a harsh kick to his head.
"I-Ittai! What now, Reborn?"
"Don't worry about it, my bugs tell me she'll reply tomorrow."
Smiling painfully, Tsuna replied with a "Yeah. . .", then turned to try and fall asleep.
"Moshi moshi?" Tsuna had a hard time talking into the phone, what with Lambo demanding him to play.
"Tsuna-san," Kyoko said, somewhat timid, "I. . . I say yes."
The Tenth stopped struggling with Lambo, who had sat down, arms crossed with a frown on his face. He could hear the genuine smile in her voice, so warm, so. . . cute.
"Just promise me this, Tsuna-san, don't get too hurt in your sumo competitions. I got so worried for you and Onii-chan when we were stuck in the future."
"D-Done! I promise!"
In reality. . .
"Juudaime! Hang in there!"
What? Gokudera? Where am I? Oh yeah. . . the fight. Shit. . . I broke my promise, again. Kyoko-chan. . . I'm really sorry. . .
Everything went black after that
Timeskip to when he wakes up. . .
Tsuna felt an aching throb in his head. He slowly cracked open his eyes, blinking in the bright light of the medical room.
"K-Kyoko. . . chan"
"Tsuna-kun. . . you. . . broke your promise," she sobbed, "That's the twenty-seventh time. . . in a year."
"Kyoko-chan. . . don't cry. . . I'm fine," he reached for her face, stopping when she backed away.
"You promised. . . you wouldn't get hurt. . . The other. . . times were. . . a couple days. . . a week or two. . . at most. . . But this time. . . you were out. . . for two months!" Tsuna froze. Two months?
"Tsuna-kun. . . I don't think I can live with not knowing what's going on. . . I don't think I can be with you anymore."
"Wh-What are you saying?" Tsuna laughed nervously, "There was some really tough competition this time in the sumo-"
"It's not sumo wrestling!" His eyes widened with suprise at being cut-off.
"Wh-When you came back, I read the medical report. You. . . were covered in ice. . . something about flames and the Shimon family and the Tifone family, and, and. . ."
"Kyoko-chan. . . I can explain! Pl-Please don't leave. I don't think I can live if you're gone!"
"I'm. . . sorry Tsuna-san. I can't." She shook her head, as if trying to convince herself.
He watched her leave, running down the hall, unable to move and run after her.
A couple minutes later. . .
"Ju-Juudaime! I'm so happy you're okay!" Gokudera burst in, followed by Yamamoto and Lambo.
"Where's Ryohei?" the Tenth asked, his mind feeling numb.
"Oh. That lawn head went to watch some boxing match in Italy or something. Are you ok? Juudaime, you look kind of pale."
"Nothing. . ." Tsuna sighed, hearing Akumu's words playing again and again in his head, "And I will cause a nightmare for you. . ."
Falling into the pillows, Tsuna closed hi eyes, "Just need some rest."
A/N (Kyoumen): Was that epic? How was the character development? Drop a review and let me know. I'll fix it, kyokugen (page breaks weren't working (). Next part will start the song based most definately. Sorry if u were expecting it to be in this one! I originally planned everything to be in one chapter (Q.Q), but it's probably going to turn into a two chapter story. . .
