Chapter Three: Check out my driving skills!
Recap:
Suddenly, the infamous cloud guardian let out a short chuckle. Tsuna blinked once and twice to make sure if he was awake.
"EH?" Tsuna pushed himself back further into the sofa due to shock. Did Hibari just chuckle? Thank goodness, the sky was still in place.
"You won't tell a single soul of that..." Hibari said quietly; his eyes dangerously staring holes into poor Tsuna. He got up and walked over to the brunet slowly, letting a smirk slip onto his lips.
Tsuna didn't need his hyper intuition to tell him something bad was going to happen to him, but he couldn't move his legs or arms anymore; they were just limp limbs hanging off his body.
Hibari felt like teasing the innocent bunny.
End of Recap
Without a single wink of sleep the previous night, Tsuna grumbled and cursed as he almost smashed into another wall, receiving worried and weird stares from the people working around the mansion.
It was almost nine in the morning, which was the average time most people woke up in the mansion. The grouchy brunet slammed open the doors to the private lounge room and dragged his feet towards the sofa instead of the table, and unfortunately for him, it seemed like he was the last to arrive with the exception of Hibari who never bothered coming near the lounge room. Almost immediately after he laid himself down on a leather, black massaging chair, the guardians greeted him with uneasy expressions.
Well, it was expected after all. It wasn't everyday that the charming brunet with the smile and features of an angel would be grouchy and pissed off first thing in the morning.
Tsuna lifted and arm up and covered his eyes with it, replying with a lousy, "Mornin'".
"I-is everything alright, Juudaime?" Hayato asked, standing from his seat.
Tsuna removed his arm from his face and mumbled a 'nothing', before walking over to join the rest at the table. Without another word, he ate in silence whilst the rest fought and ate as the childish and unruly bunch they were.
Tsuna wasn't exactly pissed off or anything like that, it was just that he couldn't understand his cloud guardian sometimes, and over the years, he began to grow a hatred of being frustrated.
Hibari Kyouya, the cloud that floats in solitude, the aloof cloud, was one of the most unreadable people ever. For the past few days, Hibari would drop by into Tsuna's office and tease the sleep-deprived brunet in his own mysterious way. But when dawn broke, he would disappear without another word, and give him the cold shoulder if they met during the day. Tsuna just wanted to ask Hibari what the hell he was trying to do to him, but he couldn't find the right words to say whenever he had the chance.
Tsuna ruffled his already-messy hair and groaned, ignoring his guardians who were raising a brow at his actions. After finishing his breakfast, they heard a loud crash from the floor above them, reminding the young boss about the Varia who were still residing in their mansion for the during of their mission, which was hopefully going to end today.
Without the need to be informed about a few peoples' waking, Tsuna and the rest covered their ears as four people smashed their way into the room.
"VOOOOOOOOOOI!"
The hinges on the door almost broke off.
Three more people barged in straight after the first. The mother hen twirled into the room with a cheerful and gay voice greeting the people in the room, and a prince and a frog arguing with each other. Tsuna's morning had just gotten a lot crazier.
Scratch that, the hinges did break off and fly somewhere into the room.
"Ushishi~The prince is always first, impolite froggy" the so-called prince said, stabbing a strangely-shaped knife into the ridiculously-large frog hat the other was wearing.
"Sempai, you should stop doing that. You might just kill me like that one day." the green-haired froggy teen replied, pulling the knife out of his hat; thrown like trash in the middle of the hallway behind them.
"The prince can do whatever he pleases."
"No, sempai, you're only a self-proclaimed royalty. You're actually a ru-mmpf!" The teen's mouth was covered by the blond's left hand, the right holding another knife to his throat.
"One more word and the prince will dissect you~"
-THIS IS A PAGE BREAK-
WARNING: Randomness alert!
-THIS IS A PAGE BREAK-
A few minutes later, Tsuna and his guardians were taking refuge underneath the dining table, despite their complaints about the insane bunch above - You can let your imagination run wild and guess what happened.
"Juudaime, Could I have permission to kill the bastards up there?" Hayato asked, holding in his anger.
Tsuna sighed and shook his head, "Unfortunately, no."
He chuckled when he felt Hayato sag his shoulder's down in disappointment.
Tsuna and the rest remained underneath the table, chatting for what seemed like ages whilst the chaos was still happening above them. Around twenty minutes later, the brunet suddenly gasped and checked the time on his wristwatch. He had a meeting to attend to, and he almost bumped his head trying to stand up, forgetting about the table above him.
He crouched back down and clutched his head, cursing under his breath.
"Ow..." he rubbed the sore spot, saying he was alright when everyone asked if he was okay.
"But, I have a meeting to attend to, and I think it's about time I stopped the mess those four are making." Tsuna said, with determined eyes. He took a deep breath and crawled out from under the table, receiving 'Good lucks' from his 'comrades' as if he was going out to the battlefield.
As the brunet emerged from underneath the table, an apple flew and smashed onto the floor in front of him; making him flinch just a bit. He looked above him and saw all sorts of food and familiar weapons being thrown across the room, accompanied by some rather colourful profanities.
Tsuna scanned the room with disbelieved eyes.
Breath in. Breath out. Breath in...
"WHAT ON FUCKING EARTH HAVE YOU DONE TO MY PRECIOUS LOUNGE ROOM YOU...YOU-YOU ANIMALS!"
Oh man.
Everyone underneath the table flinched at Tsuna's rage, which was also very amusing at the same time, seeing as he never found it in himself to cuss or raise his voice at anyone. The varia on the other hand, immediately stopped to look at the fuming brunet, who glared (cutely, to them) at the four.
Tsuna raged at them and told them get the hell out of his lounge room and get on with their mission, which they surprisingly obeyed, and ordered everyone to come out from underneath the dining table.
"Whoa Tsuna, haven't seen that side of you for quite a while!" Takeshi laughed, slapping the man on his back. Tsuna sighed and smiled weakly at the taller man, telling a passing officer to get the mess cleaned up and get things replaced.
Of course they hadn't seen that side of him for a while - the last time he raged that hard was almost a year ago when his guardians did the unthinkable to the mansion...He didn't want to remember that anymore. He shuddered at his own temper. Tsuna walked over and almost broke the door when he pulled it open, but it wasn't really his fault since the door was already in shambles before. He mumbled incoherent curses and made everyone move out of the way like they did with Hibari when they felt Tsuna's 'demonic aura'.
"Oh the joy. Now I gotta cough up more frigging paperwork and money. Who the fuck sent these wild animals outta their cages?...Right, Xanxus's regime will never be accepted at the frigging zoo." Tsuna continued to mumble something along the lines of paperwork, animals, money, paperwork, more paperwork...Oh goodie.
Pushing aside the horrible things that clouded his mind, Tsuna went to the luxury of his peaceful room and took another quick shower before changing into another clean suit (they got dirtied when he came out from the table). He smiled at himself in the mirror and walked out of the room, only bump into Lambo on the way.
"S-sorry, Tsuna-nii!" the wavy-haired lightning guardian apologised,
"Ah, Lambo! What are you doing he- No wait, good timing, come with me!" Tsuna dragged the poor boy along, not caring where he was heading before.
-PAGE BREAK です!-
On the way to where ever Tsuna was taking Lambo, he told the boy that he was unfortunate enough to be there when Tsuna was looking for any guardian to drag along to the long and boring meeting. Two to be precise.
The two stepped out of the elevator, and Lambo gaped at the sight before his eyes. It was every man's dream.
It was a huge underground car park, with rows and rows of expensive, luxurious cars, limo's and more cars. Tsuna spoke briefly to a security officer at the 'box', and received a pair of silver keys.
Tsuna scanned the room for a certain car he was looking for, not noticing Lambo gaping in awe at all the cars. Well, it was the boys' first time down here. After minutes of searching, he held Lambo's hand and dragged him over to one of his favourite car's. Once again, Lambo couldn't help but gape.
"Tsuna-nii...Are all these cars yours?"
"Yup! But I share them with Hayato-kun and the rest."
"...And this one is also yours?"
-stare-
"Yup!"
"...Isn't this a Maserati?"
"Yup! hurry up and get in!" Tsuna exclaimed happily, opening the door for Lambo.
Lambo stared at the interior of the car for a second or two, but was interrupted when Tsuna literally pushed him into his seat. Tsuna walked over to the other side and hopped in, gripping the steering wheel for a moment.
"It's been a while since I've driven."
Lambo shuddered. What if Tsuna was a reckless and horrible driver?
...
Nah, not possible. Tsuna was too sensible and responsible to be that kind of person. Though, he changed his mind a second later.
"Lambo, tighten your seat belt, and don't tell me I didn't warn you!" Tsuna smiled oh-so-ever innocently, stepping down on the acceleration pedal suddenly, making the car zoom forward without warning.
"Tsuna-nii, don't tell me your a ba-WHOA!" the force of the car suddenly moving forward pushed him back into the seat.
"This baby goes from 0 to 100kmph in 4 seconds!"
"...please...slow...down..!"
Lambo almost cried. Even after all these years, he still got pathetically scared all the time.
-Time skip: 10 minutes later-
The young lightning guardian felt like he was gonna hurl any minute. The moment the car came to a halt, he slammed the door open and almost fainted in the middle of the street, but was caught by Tsuna just in time.
"Who the hell gives a license to someone who drives like that?" Lambo thought, regaining his composure. He smiled wearily at Tsuna, only to receive a mischievous chuckle in return.
"Scratch that, it was probably his status and charm..."
Tsuna smiled innocently at the younger teen.
"Yeah, that's definitely the reason."
"Let's go, we're ten minutes late." the brunet mumbled, yawning as he walked side to side with Lambo into the building where a very long meeting was held.
...
What seemed like a century later, Tsuna and Lambo stumbled out of the building and leaned against the car, rubbing their sore asses from sitting for too long.
"Man that was boring!" Lambo complained, letting out a deep sigh.
"And I have to go through that more than once almost everyday!" Tsuna replied, pouting slightly.
"Alright, let's go back!"
Lambo flinched. Oh dear god, someone bring him a miracle!
...
"C'mon Lambo, hurry up and get in!"
"..."
"Lambo, what are you do-"
"JUUDAIME!"
Tsuna looked outside his window, only to see his loyal right-hand man stepping out of a long, black limo, followed by a black Lamborghini murcielago lp640. Lambo on the other hand, was almost on his knees thanking god over and over again.
"Hayato-kun, what are you doing here?"
"Ah, we were all heading to a restaurant for lunch, but we saw you and the stupid cow!" Hayato said happily, reminding Tsuna about the poor condition their lounge/dining room was left in after the four members of the Varia had completely destroyed it with-in a matter of minutes.
He sighed, "Right. Gotta fix that immediately."
"Juudaime, would you also like to join us?" Hayato was staring at Tsuna with his sparkly and pleading eyes. He laughed.
"Of course!"
"Would you like me to drive for you?"
"Oh, it's okay." Tsuna smiled.
Lambo immediately clung onto Hayato's arm.
"Get off me, you stupid cow!"
"Please let me ride in the limo instead!" Lambo begged god once again,
"Alright, Alright, Just get off me!"
His eyes widened in happiness. Yay, he didn't have to go through Tsuna's driving again. "Thanks, stupidera!"
Hayato excused himself and stormed off after the teen, causing a chaos inside the limo. Tsuna was about to step back into the car until he heard a familiar voice, one he was absolutely yearning for.
"I'm driving, herbivore."
"Kyouya-kun!" Tsuna's face lightened up again. The brunet obeyed and walked over to the other side and hopped into the passenger seat, smiling at Hibari who buckled himself up in the drivers' seat.
"It's rare to see you with everyone else." Tsuna said, breaking the awkwardness between the two as they drove in front of the limo.
"I came in a different car with Kusakabe."
"Oh."
The conversation died after that. Hibari drove in silence, whilst Tsuna yawned every minute as he watched the scenery pass by his window. Even though it was awkward, it was somewhat peaceful and relaxing. Their destination was almost near. They just had to turn a corner then enter the main street highway and park somewhere alongside the road.
However, as Hibari turned the car, he heard the sound of glass cracking and Tsuna jumping in his seat out of surprise.
"What was that?" the raven-haired guardian asked, nonchalantly.
"...A bullet...cracked the side mirror." Tsuna squeaked, coughing twice as he saw the glass from the side mirror falling off onto the road.
Tsuna turned his body around and saw the limo following behind them smoothly. For a second or two, the brunet and raven-haired driver wondered what had just happened, but their eight years of experience in the mafia wasn't for nothing.
Hibari glanced at his side mirror, and spotted something shiny heading for the head of the brunet's seat. In a split second, he spotted a long, dark alley way, wide enough for two cars to go in at once, but there were barricades of crate boxes and huge recycle bins.
Without warning, he made a sharp turn into the alleyway and maneuvered through the barriers, hoping to get an oblivious Tsuna out of harms' way.
"K-kyouya-kun, where are you going?" a slightly panicked brunet asked.
Hibari sighed inwardly and decided to ignore the stupid question, which was answered a second later by a loud bang, and the sound of the rear-view mirror cracking.
Situation clear...They were being chased.
Then, all of a sudden, Tsuna's mobile phone rang.
-Inside the limo with Hayato and the others-
Inside the limo, there were ten people causing a loud ruckus, completely oblivious to the sounds going on outside.
Hayato and Lambo were calling each other names and arguing, Ryohei and Takeshi were talking about extreme sports, Mukuro and Chrome were talking quietly, Bianchi was hugging a napping Reborn (who was absolutely amazing for being able to sleep through such noise), and Fuuta and I-pin were creating a light conversation. Suddenly, the phone beside Hayato rang.
"Gokudera-san, Juudaime's car just turned into an alleyway." the driver on the other side of the phone said,
"WHAT?" Hayato overreacted.
"Should I follow Juudaime's car or proceed towards the destination?"
"Of course you should fol-...wait." Hayato stopped when he heard his phone ringing. He dropped the phone when he saw the caller's ID.
Incoming call: Juudaime
"Hello, Juudaime?" Hayato almost shouted through his phone, earning the attention of everyone in the car including Reborn who woke up and told him to put it on loud speaker.
"Hayato-kun, is everyone safe?"
"Of course, but that aside, are you okay, Juudaime? You suddenly turned into an alleyway!"
"Listen carefully, DO NOT follow my car. Just proceed towards the restaurant, or where ever!"
Hayato obeyed and told the driver to keep on driving towards the restaurant.
"Tsuna, what's going on?" Takeshi asked, leaning towards Hayato's phone which laid on the table in the middle.
"Ta-Takeshi-kun. Actually, we're being ch-...KYOUYA-KUN, BARRIER, BARRIER!"
The sound of the car screeching and crate boxes smashing was heard on the other end, before a voice replied.
"Shut up herbivore, you're distracting me."
"Ah, sorry...Um, Takeshi-kun, are you still there?"
"You're being what?" Takeshi asked,
"We're being chased."
Some people gasped, and the others remained silent.
"Ah, a-anyway...I think I shou-"
Bang - smash
"MY CAR!"
A few people laughed, and the rest either rolled their eyes or sighed. Over the years, Tsuna had become obsessed with his cars.
"Sawada Tsunayoshi, Shut up before I bite you to death myself." Hibari snapped, managing to speak in a cool and calm tone.
"That bastard..." Hayato mumbled, earning a laugh from the former baseball-lover.
"Tsuna, get to the restaurant by six, or else I'll obliterate you and your cars."
"Re-Reborn...? O-okay, Just don't hurt my cars!"
Beep-Beep-Beep...
Hibari just managed to steer their car away from a barricade of crates, as a bullet threatened to crack the glass at the back window. Tsuna flinched in his seat once again after he hung up, when a bullet made a dent in a huge recycle bin that passed by his car.
"Herbivore, take the wheel."
Tsuna stared for a second or two, but then shook his head furiously and pouted.
"No, you keep driving. I'll deal with these people."
Hibari glared at the brunet who was pouting cutely, and gave in, focusing on the exit of the alleyway that neared.
"...Make it quick."
Without another word, Tsuna opened the window and with a swift boost, he pushed himself onto the car roof. He pulled out his gloves and glared at the black car on their tail, spotting a hand holding a silver gun, sticking out of the window.
"Oh no you don't." Tsuna growled, closing his eyes as a bright orange flame flickered on his forehead.
The brunet shuffled his body to the side and dodged another bullet, as he bent down, attempting to jump off the car. But suddenly, just as he was ready to jump off and get rid of the easy targets, his face paled and his head spun, creating an image of more than one car.
"Shit, this isn't good..." he cursed, clenching his teeth in pain.
To be continued...
Next chapter: The climax of car chasing.
A/N: Yeah, I originally didn't plan to add anything to do with cars in this chapter, but I forgot my original idea (Yes, I have a horrible memory). Please excuse any grammar, punctuation or spelling mistakes, because It's late here and I can't be bothered checking this chapter over again. Yeah, I'm a lazy bum, haha.
It would be nice to 'read' your support, but it's up to you. Thanks for reading so far, even though it's only been three boring chapters.
