Hello, again! Thanks for reading Chapter 2 of "The 11th Sky".
I realized that I totally forgot the disclaimer for the last chapter, and when I found out, it was already published. Crap! So I just put it in the summary. Don't sue me.
After my brother read the first chapter, he pointed out a whole lot of mistakes to me, so most of them will be fixed in this chapter!
Disclaimer: I do not own Katekyo Hitman Reborn! If I did, Kyoko and Haru and Lambo wouldn't be so lame in the Future Arc. (No offense)
-ha-ji-ma-ru-
"Hah!" *smack*
"Point!"
..."Kya, Takashi-kun!"
"How cool..."
"As expected of the ace!"
"..." *rustle*
"Good job, Takashi," a girl murmured, her long black ponytail flying in the breeze. She watched from outside the dojo as a boy took off his kendo headgear and shook his fluffy black hair. He grinned, earning some girly squeals from the crowd (90% girl) and, upon noticing the girl standing outside, his face broke into a wide smile and waved enthusiastically. The crowd turned around in surprise, and all the girls glared at the target of the boy's affection.
The long haired girl sweatdropped and waved back before quickly leaving.
"...such a peaceful day..."
"Kintokita Takashi. Part Of the kendo club." Reborn looked up from his binoculars and smirked. "His strength and enthusiasm are essential for Enro's family."
-leon says hi-
Enro sighed as he walked back to his classroom. "I still don't like the idea of a baby tutoring me...he's even really Spartan."
Quick footsteps echoed down the hall.
"Besides, what's with the whole 'Family' thing? I don't NEED another family, thank you very much."
*huff* *huff*
Enro's rambling was cut off as he slammed into another person. They both fell back onto the floor, Enro holding his nose in pain.
"Oh man, sorry about that! I wasn't looking at where I was going...you ok?"
The blonde looked up in confusion. First he saw a hand, then looked past the hand to see a boy with fluffy black hair and blue eyes. He looked faintly familiar, but Enro couldn't quite put his finger on it. "No, it's ok. I wasn't exactly looking, either," the blonde said, taking the offered hand.
"Hey you're Niizuma Enro, right? I remember you came to school in your boxers once!" The black haired boy exclaimed. "Y-yeah...um, sorry but who are you again?" Enro blushed. "I'm Kintokita Takashi. I'm in your class," Takashi replied. "... ... ... I'm sorry, but I don't take in my surroundings very well..."
Takashi laughed. "That's ok! Hey, have you eaten lunch yet?"
At Enro's shake of the head, he beamed and said, "Then let's eat together! It'll be AWESOME!"
Taken aback by the black-haired boy's sudden outburst, the blonde gave a timid nod. "Um, if that's ok with you, then sure..."
Takashi grinned, grabbed Enro's arm, and half ran, half dragged the poor boy back to the classroom.
Arriving, Takashi released Enro's arm and looked around. "Hey!" he called to a nearby boy. "Where'd Taiyou go?"
"Shiromane? Oh she was called by the Disciplinary Committee president. She also wanted her homework back," was the reply. "Oh...well, we can just eat without her," Takashi shrugged.
-dame-tsuna-
"...you wanna explain why you called me? I was JUST about to go get my homework back from that idiot," a feminine voice complained.
"Haha, sorry about that. But we need to discuss the graffiti issue..." another deeper, masculine voice chuckled.
"Hmph. Let's just go with catching them in the act. Maybe some blackmail. It's not that hard, Kato-nii. (1)"
"Haha, maybe, but how do you plan on doing that? We don't even know if they're gonna do it again or not," the other pointed out.
"..."
"G-good afternoon, Hasume-san, Shiromane-san!" A few voices chorused.
"Hm? Oh, good afternoon," the pair replied in unison.
*murmur*murmur* "Wow, those two look great as usual!"
"They look so good together!"
"Yeah, but aren't they related?"
"So? Even if they aren't dating, they still look good together!"
The two reached a room with a sign that read "Reception Room" over it. Hasume Kato slid that door open. "After you."
Shiromane Taiyou looked at him. "Age before beauty," she smirked.
Hasume frowned and sighed before stepping into the room, while Taiyou closed the door after them.
-chaos shot!-
"Oi, Enro."
"AHH! Reborn! Don't scare me like that, dammit!" The blonde screamed. "Huh, you average wimp. I see you made a new friend," the baby smirked. "Huh? Who, Kintokita? I-I guess..." 'I'm not sure I would call him a friend,' Enro thought uncertainly, sweatdropping as he thought back to the events of that afternoon.
Earlier that day...
"Yo, Enro! Let's be partners for the project!" Takashi said, grinning.
"H-huh? But I thought we were supposed to have three people in each group..."
"Oh, we do! The third person just isn't in class today. But she'll be in our group, don't worry! This will be AWESOME!" the blue-eyed boy exclaimed, putting a foot on a chair and sticking an arm out.
End flashback
"I swore I could see sparkles..." the blonde muttered as he stood in front of Reborn. Enro didn't know why, but the blue-eyed boy suddenly was all friendly with him. For a guy who didn't have a lot of friends before, (actually, none) this got him a bit curious.
"Hm, who's this, Enro? Your brother?"
Enro jumped. He had almost forgotten that the taller boy was there. "N-no...he's not my brother."
"Ciaossu," Reborn greeted Takashi. "Haha, yo! I'm Kintokita Takashi, what's your name? Why are you wearing a suit?"
"I'm Reborn. I'm wearing a suit because I'm in the mafia. Do you want to be in Enro's family?" the baby asked innocently.
'Again with the mafia?' Enro thought frantically.
"Haha, that's awesome! Sure, I'd love to! Enro's the boss, right?"
Takashi's sentence froze Enro up. "H-hey, Kintokita-kun...Y-you're not serious, right? I mean, the mafia's really bad, you know! People get killed, you know!"
"Hm? Oh, I know. But that's what it's all about, right? It's just like a survival game!" The blue-eyed boy laughed. 'Except it's not a game...!' The blonde sweatdropped.
"Oh, that's good. I was beginning to think that Enro would never get anyone, and that he would stay Average-Enro forever," Reborn smirked, his eyes shadowed by his fedora. "Now, to be in Enro's family, you have to pass a test."
"A test?" Takashi inquired, tilting his head to the side.
"Yeah. We'll do it right here."
"In the middle of the street?" Enro exclaimed. "Tch. Fine, you loser. Let's go over here," Reborn said, leading them over to the grassy riverbank.
"I'll explain the rules," he continued. "Just make it back to this spot alive." The baby jumped up and kicked Takashi off the riverbank.
"?" The blue-eyed boy looked down in shock as he was pushed off solid ground.
Enro and Reborn waited for a splash. 10 seconds...30 seconds...it never came. "R-Reborn! Why isn't anything happening?" Enro said frantically. "Oh, the river right there is an illusion. The edge here is actually the edge of a cliff," The baby said, nonchalantly. "W-WHAT THE HECK? WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SO EARLIER?" Enro yelled frantically.
"THIS ISN'T AWESOME AT ALL!" A yell came from below.
"K-Kintokita-kun!" Enro cried, rushing to the edge of the cliff. (The illusion vanished) Takashi was hanging by his hands a few feet below where Enro stood. "Reborn! We have to help him!" The blonde said, pulling his hair out.
"I'M not helping him. YOU are," the baby informed Enro, and pointed a green gun at the boy's head.
Enro fell off the cliff as at the bullet entered his forehead.
Takashi stared down in horror as the shorter boy plunged past him to his death and without a second thought, let go and fell headfirst after him. Up in the cliff, Reborn held his smoking gun and smirked as a faint yell came from below. "I'LL SAVE KINTOKITA-KUN WITH MY DYING WILL!"
-su-zu-ku-
AHHH! It's done!
Wow. I actually never planned for this chapter to be split up into two parts, but after I saw the word count for this chapter, I was like, "Oh, I can do that."
So, the next part to this will be up soon! (Hopefully).
By the way...I was gonna wait until the next part to ask this, but it looks like I can't wait.
Which Guardian do you think Kintokita Takashi is? There may be a prize if you guess it correctly...I'm still deciding on that.
Aaaaannd...as always, review please! Thanks so much!
