Untouchable

By: Hiki-chan

The silence was deafening.

'Someone just kill me right now.' Was the only thought that went through Tsuna's mind as he clung onto his other self. Blood rushed right up to his head, leaving Tsuna dizzy. He struggled to focus on the situation at hand.

Apparently, someone just shot him with the bullet to separate him from his other self.

'Reborn.' Tsuna thought dryly. After all, who else could mess up his life even more other than his tutor Reborn?

So he was shot and his other self separated from him. Okay, big deal. Although Tsuna was in a daze while his other self 'chatted' with his guardians and Dino, he could pretty much guess what had happened.

His other self had set out to prove a point to the others. 'Oh gosh, oh gosh, oh gosh… Kill me, kill me, kill me…' Tsuna chanted. He knew very well what his other self wanted to prove.

That those bite marks on his neck came from him.

Of course, all this thinking Tsuna was doing was done in a very short period of time while his friends just stared blankly at him. Tsuna's cheeks flushed as he stared back at his guardians and Dino in horror. He didn't need to look at his other self to know that he was smirking triumphantly. That sadistic bastard.

He wondered how long it would take before the truth sets in and all hell breaks lose. Perhaps in a minute or so?

1…10…20...25 seconds…

"Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait just a moment!"

Damn it, it hasn't even been 30 seconds!

Dino took a step forward, ignoring the glare that shot his way from the scarier Tsuna. "Are you trying to tell us, that the bites on Tsuna came from you?!"

The other Tsuna almost rolled his eyes at the sheer stupidity of that question. Was this guy seriously the boss of the Cavallone Family? Had he not made it obvious in his previous actions? He sharpened his gaze on Dino and said in a very slow and clear voice, like as if he was talking to a child. "Precisely."

Gokudera fell back in complete shock only to be caught by Yamamoto. He stumbled once and then brought himself back up. His silvery green eyes widened in disbelief. His mouth dropped open to make a comment but no words came out. Thankfully, he was interrupted by Mukuro.

"That's not possible." Mukuro said carefully. Something flashed across his different colored eyes so fast that Tsuna could not read it.

The other Tsuna's lips curled upwards. "And going back to hell six times is usually possible?" He referred to Mukuro's six paths of reincarnation.

Mukuro frowned but did not reply.

Yamamoto let go of Gokudera once he was sure the other was steady before he turned hard eyes on the other Tsuna. "Did you force it on him?" Tsuna almost flinched. Yamamoto who was usually easy-going and friendly, Yamamoto who was suppose to be the Rain to wash away everything, was now completely different.

The other Tsuna turned his attention to Yamamoto. Their eyes clashed and Tsuna could almost feel the electricity. "And if I did?"

"You BASTARD!" Gokudera launched himself at the other Tsuna. This wasn't the time to take out his dynamites, no. He just wanted to bash that other Tsuna's face in. He needed to feel the bastard get hurt. Especially since he dared to touch the tenth!

He was immediately pulled back by both Dino and Yamamoto. "Let me go! I need to— I need to teach that bastard a lesson!"

Yamamoto gritted his teeth together. As much as he wanted to let Gokudera go and attack this new… person, he couldn't. There was something missing still.

The other Tsuna did not even seem bothered by what was going on and turned away to face Tsuna. Their eyes met for a split second before the other Tsuna reluctantly tore his away when he spotted movement at the corner of his eye. "Hang onto me." He whispered to his lighter half.

Sure enough, a second later, Hibari rushed forward with his tonfas, drawing back only to gather momentum so as to strike the other Tsuna with maximum power. Golden eyes narrowed as he tightened his grip on Tsuna and jumped, using the force of his flames to land behind the guardians and Dino. Tsuna clutched his other self tightly, he eyes widened in shock.

The hyper dying will Tsuna was not happy. How could Hibari come and try to attack him when he still had Tsuna in his arms? Well, not that that wasn't expected of Hibari but it was still so… unforgivable.

"Kyoya!" Dino called out in panic. He wasn't shocked at what his student had done, but he wanted to remind his student that there were other people here who wouldn't hurt to attack him for hurting Tsuna, including himself.

"Oi! You could have hit Juudaime, bastard!" Gokudera snarled, struggling to get free from Dino and Yamamoto.

Yamamoto loosened his grip on Gokudera just a little. "Hibari, don't attack him! You might hurt Tsuna."

"That wasn't really smart." Mukuro commented although he wanted nothing more than to join Hibari and attack the other Tsuna. But no, that wouldn't do for now. He needed to keep his cool first.

Hibari ignored all of them and tried to attack the other Tsunayoshi again. Only this time, he was stopped by a bullet that shot the floor before him.

All eyes turned to the direction the bullet came from.

There on top of the roof, they saw the silhouette of a small figure. The figure jumped and landed on the floor between the guardians, Dino and the two Tsunas. Reborn pulled back his gun and lifted his head. "Ciaossu."

"Baby." Hibari said simply, putting down his tonfas.

Tsuna blinked at his tutor and let go off his other self. He almost regretted it when the warmth of his other self's body left him. But the other Tsuna kept his arm around Tsuna's waist. "Reborn!"

"Reborn-san!" Gokudera breathed a sigh of relieve. Reborn must know what's going on. He could get Tsuna back to normal! Dino and Yamamoto let go off Gokudera at the appearance of Reborn.

Mukuro was not surprised to see Reborn at all. Reborn followed his student like a hawk after all. He always knew what was happening to Tsuna.

"No one is allowed to lay a finger of him." Reborn cocked his gun before pointing it at the other Tsuna, smirking when the other Tsuna didn't even bat an eye. "At least not yet."

The other Tsuna almost rolled his eyes at Reborn's words but held himself back. Could these so-called 'protectors' of Tsuna really harm him? He didn't think so.

"Reborn," Dino finally said as memories of earlier that day flashed through his head, "You know what's going on don't you." It wasn't a question.

Gokudera spared a glance at Dino before he turned to Reborn, "Reborn-san! Is there a way to get Juudaime back to normal?!"

"Ano… Gokudera-kun," Tsuna said softly, slowly. "I am normal right now."

Reborn smirked.

"Tsuna?" Yamamoto spoke, concerned. "Are you alright?"

Dino glanced at Tsuna worriedly, "Tsuna, maybe the shock is too much for you to realize but—"

"Juudaime! That guy forced himself onto you!" Gokudera exclaimed, pointing a finger at the other Tsuna dramatically.

The other Tsuna simply scoffed, putting a finger in his ear and pretended to dig his ear to show he couldn't be bothered.

"Uh, well…" Tsuna muttered, a blush covering his cheeks. His other self did force himself on Tsuna at first… but he was willing after that.

"Calm down all of you." Reborn finally said and all was silent because he had that power. Clearing his throat, Reborn walked right in front of the two Tsuna's and stopped. "You see, this is Tsuna's hyper dying will self. I'm sure you all could recognize him when he appeared." Reborn tapped the other Tsuna on his left leg, "Oi, introduce yourself."

This time the other Tsuna did not hide the roll of his eyes but he resisted the urge to kick Reborn. Instead, he adjusted his grip on Tsuna who fidgeted nervously and smirked. "I, am Tsuna's other self. As Reborn said, I'm Tsuna's hyper dying will self. I guess I am known as Tsunayoshi to a few," Here, he shot Tsuna a wink, delighting in the stutters that that brought up from his light self. "but you can call me, 'Your Majesty'."

Then there was utter silence.

Tsuna gently nudged his other self with his elbow, appalled at his other's behavior. "Tsunayoshi…" He muttered lowly, warningly. But his other self, now known as Tsunayoshi, was not fooled. He could see the laughter dancing in Tsuna's eyes.

His friends seemed too shocked to even speak. Reborn just smiled.

"Feh. Fine, call me whatever you want. I couldn't care less." Tsunayoshi said with a wave of his hand.

"Yo-Y-You!" Gokudera couldn't believe this person's attitude. How dare he make fun of the tenth like that?! "How dare you?!" Gokudera wanted to… he wanted to hurt Tsunayoshi so bad. He wanted to throw his dynamites, get rid of him and save everyone the trouble of wondering who this person was. But Gokudera couldn't because 1: Reborn was here and he specifically told them not to hurt him and 2: Gokudera was unsure if destroying Tsunayoshi would affect Tsuna.

Yamamoto didn't know how to respond to that. This was the first time experiencing such a... behavior. He just couldn't figure this new person out. How could he be Tsuna's other self and yet act like someone entirely different?

This time, Mukuro's trident appeared and he clenched his fingers around it. They were all being played with. He hated that.

"Reborn, can't you do something about this?" Dino finally said, ignoring what Tsunayoshi said. As a boss, he couldn't let himself get affected by the words of the teenage boy. He couldn't! He spared a worried glance at Hibari's direction. Hibari wouldn't attack that… other Tsuna by the name of Tsunayoshi if Reborn was here, but Dino was still just as worried.

Dino almost shuddered at the expression on Hibari's face. If looks could kill, Tsunayoshi would have been the first to get slaughtered by Hibari.

Reborn just continued to smile and pretended to wonder, "About what?"

"About Tsunayoshi." Mukuro seethed, his words sending chills down Tsuna's spine.

Reborn tilted his head a little downwards to hide his smirk. He ignored answering their question. "Come everyone. I'll explain everything back home. It's uncomfortable here."

Mukuro frowned. He looked like he wanted to make a comment before he shrugged. He closed his eyes and in a few short seconds, a purple mist covered his body.

"Chrome…" Tsuna said softly when he realized what Mukuro was doing.

The mist cleared and the girl answered, "Yes, boss."

"He disappeared." Reborn pointed out, "Is Mukuro still there, Chrome?"

"Yes…" She replied softly, "Mukuro-sama doesn't want to be caught dead walking with mafia."

"Why that bastard." Gokudera spat, temporarily forgetting about his hatred for Tsunayoshi.

Hibari's eyes went from Chrome to Tsuna and Tsunayoshi before ending at Reborn. His frown deepened before he turned around and took long strides away from the group, his disciplinary jacket fluttering with the brisk walking.

"Kyoya?" Dino called his student.

"I'm leaving."

"But—"

Tsunayoshi sighed loudly, bringing Dino's attention to him. "Ignore him."

Dino glared at Tsunayoshi, daring him to make another comment.

Tsunayoshi did not disappoint and continued. "He's just jealous."

Hibari jerked back and spun around sharply, his tonfas ready. "Why would I be jealous?"

Tsunayoshi chuckled before turning to Hibari and flashed him a smug smirk. "See Kyoya, you never bit Tsuna to death." Making sure he had full attention of all the guardians and Dino, Tsunayoshi licked his lips once before baring his teeth. "I did."
