A/N: Ah! Finally updated~ sorry it took so long… computer was busted again plus I procrastinate a lot... *nervous sweatdrop* Anyways, here it is~ chapter 2! Enjoy~
Chapter 2
Friend or Foe?
Reborn was about to pull the trigger since his instincts kept telling him that this guy was dangerous and he wouldn't have that, but a slightly ragged voice yelled at him to stop.
"W-wait! Don't shoot! He's a friend!"
Reborn turned to see Tsuna help hoist the white-haired boy up.
"Who are you and what do you want?" Reborn asked quickly, wasting no time at all.
A true hitman indeed.
The other smiled good naturedly before replying, "My name's Allen, Allen Walker," then he gestured to towards the dark man cladded in a suit. "And that's Tyki."
"Wonderful, now what do you want from us?" The hitman interrogated as he scanned the two carefully.
"Reborn! Stop being so rude!" Tsuna scolded, glaring a bit but as usual, it only looked like a mere pout to the other. Even after three years since the Shimon incident, Tsuna has yet to become manlier, in physical terms.
Reborn frowned but said nothing, Tsuna nodded in return for the hitman's rare showcase of cooperation.
"So, Allen-san, right?" Tsuna began.
"Allen is just fine." The boy grinned.
"O-oh Ok, then are you hurt anywhere? You fainted earlier." Tsuna asked, scanning the other for any signs of injuries.
"Ah…that…" The snow-haired boy grinned sheepishly.
"Was why I was looking for him." Tyki interjected.
"Eh?"
The dark-haired man sighed and decided to enlighten the brunette.
"We were all transported into different locations, right? But Allen here got hungry almost immediately the moment we started walking," He explained giving the said person a look. "So I told him to wait there while I look for some food but when I came back, he was gone. Apparently he had wandered off on his own without any protection for the sake of food, with the 80% chance of being killed on the spot." Tyki finished, sighing apathetically at the boy's naivety.
"Hey! I was hungry alright!" Allen defended.
"You fainted cuz you were just hungry!" Tsuna yelled skeptically.
"What? I didn't get to eat breakfast. It was right after a mission and I was starving!" Allen whined childishly.
"I thought you were hurt!" Tsuna yelled.
Reborn tried to stifle an amused chuckle.
"It's not funny Reborn!"
"No, but your reactions are."
"I'm sorry for worrying you…" Allen commented.
"It's alright, I'm not mad," Tsuna sighed. "Just surprised is all."
"So what did ya get?" The white-haired boy asked.
"Just this…" The suit clad man replied bringing out some mushrooms, a couple of berries and fruits.
"Wah~ you found all that?" The boy exclaimed happily suddenly enthusiastic and skipped merrily towards the raven.
Tyki sighed as he watched his partner eagerly nom on the food. He was glad he found him alive and even got a little worried when he felt he wandered off.
"How about we take a little break here?" He stated.
"Umn! Sounds good!" Allen replied still nomming on the food.
"Eh? B-but…" Tsuna mumbled and began fiddling with the hem of his shirt.
"But what?"
"Aren't we enemies?" Reborn finished for him.
The two blinked at them before chuckling lightly.
"If you guys must know, we're enemies!" Allen chimed.
"Hiie! Then why are you two…?"
"So friendly?" Tyki replied.
Tsuna nodded.
"That's because we thought that it would be pointless to fight if the other can't fight back, another is that the prize interests me." Tyki explained.
Allen nodded at his partner's statement.
"I see…so to put it simply, you two decided on a temporary truce till all this is over." Reborn added.
"Yep, it's exactly as you say." Allen grinned. "So there's no need to fight!"
"What makes you say that?" Tsuna asked nervously.
"Hm?" Allen blinked innocently while chomping on some apples. "Well that Yuuko girl never stated in the rules who we choose to fight or that we have to fight immediately. So just consider us as friends~"
"Friends?"
"Yeah! You know, allies! Or a temporary truce if you don't trust us, like me and Tyki." Allen grinned while Tyki nodded.
The other two seemed to take this in before agreeing. It seemed that these two were being honest.
"But this better not be a trick." Reborn glared taking out his gun.
"Reborn!"
"What? I'm just making sure of your safety."
Tsuna huffed, that was Reborn for you, always too cynical, and he really should learn to trust others more.
Although Tyki just smiled at this.
"Believe me, you can trust us." He stated.

"So what's your world like?" Allen began.
The sun had begun to set and the four sat around the campfire made from one of the forest's trees.
"Our world…? Well I don't know how to describe it….normal? Except that there are a lot of weird things that happen to you there if you're living my life…" Tsuna muttered tiredly upon remembering all those unlucky things that have happened to him so far.
"Weird things? Like what?" Tyki asked, suddenly getting interested.
"Mafia related." Reborn replied, shining his gun.
It was supposed to look intimidating but it had the opposite effect on Allen.
"Oooh! That is so cool!"
Reborn gave him a quizzical look before shrugging and returned to cleaning his gun, while Tsuna just sweatdropped. "Y-yeah…how about your world, Allen?"
"Hmm…well there are a lot of monsters called Akuma and I work in an organization to help exterminate them, protect people from them among a lot of other things."
"Really? That's so cool!" It was Tsuna's turn to be impressed. Now why couldn't he live a life like that? Saving people instead of going against the law…
"Well it is a lot of fun if you have friends like Lenalee and Lavi, and Bakanda."
"Bakanda? Who's that?"
"Oh just someone who annoys the hell outta me by insulting me all the time, his real name is Kanda but I prefer to call him idiot Kanda."
"How does he annoy you?"
"He calls me Chibi or any other insult referring to my height." Allen huffed with crossed arms.
Tsuna stifled a giggle that dared to come out.
"Oi, what's so funny?"
"Hee-hee sorry Allen! Haha! But it's kinda true!" Then Tsuna burst out laughing followed by amused chuckles from Reborn and Tyki who had been silent but was listening in.
"Hey! You're shorter than me you know!" Allen yelled grabbing both of Tsuna's cheeks and pulling them apart.
"Hiiie! Ouch! Ouch! Stop! Ok ok! I won't laugh anymore!" Tsuna squealed when the boy didn't let up and started ruffling his hair making it more into a tangled mess.
""Mou! Allen-san! Don't mess up my hair!"
The two were laughing and teasing so much that they didn't notice the sudden looks of possessiveness on their partner's faces. Reborn and Tyki did not like how those two got along so well, like bread and butter, and that annoyed them greatly.
"But Allen, what about Tyki-san?" Tsuna began, startling the aforementioned man.
"Eh? You want me to hug Tyki like this? Allen blinked.
Tsuna blushed slightly before pushing the other off, suddenly realizing their position and Reborn's unamused stare.
"N-no! I meant in your world, what does he do? Um…I don't mean to pry…I'm just a little curious."
"Oh…well he—"
"I am part of the Noah Clan, a group who collects innocence for a specific purpose." Tyki interrupted.
"Innocence? As in virgins?"
"Haha no, innocence are what helps us fight against the Akuma, it's kinda hard to explain." Allen stated.
"For what purpose then?"
"It's a secret~" Tyki winked.
Tsuna blushed softly while Allen seemed unfazed.
"He wouldn't tell me either…" He pouted dejectedly.
"Anyways," Reborn suddenly interjected. "It's getting late, we should get some rest.
"Yeah."
"But what if an enemy attacks?" Tsuna piped in.
"Don't worry we'll keep watch." Allen grinned. "We got each other's backs right?"
Tsuna stared at his new friend before beaming a cute smile of his own.
"Umn!"

"Mistress!"
"Mistress!"
"What is it Maru and Moro?"
"There have been reports of an intruder trespassing in the garden!" Maru explained.
"Oh, really now?" Yuuko watched as the twins ran up to her.
"Yes, it seems that he was also transported during the teleportation of the players." Moro continued.
"I see, from which world?"
"He's from Reborn-san and Tsunayoshi-san's world, from a town called Namimori." Maru reported.
"What should we do, Mistress?" Moro asked.
"Let him be, let's just observe for now~ he might make things interesting later on."
The twins nodded and left.
Yuuko smiled coyly from her chair.
She already knew about the intruder, and she knew it wasn't an accident, he purposely followed the, once he saw the beam of light, so she made sure to teleport him elsewhere while she explained the rules.
Also, He should somewhere around the forest too. She decided not to tell them that another player was with them…
Not yet anyways…
It seemed that he decided to watch for now as well, and has his eye set on a particular brunette.
Yuuko stared at the cup of wine in her hand, watching the clear liquid reflect her deep red eyes.
Things should get more interesting now~

"Bo-chan, are you alright?"
"Yes." A young boy with an eye-patch replied before pushing the other off.
After being teleported, they landed on a tree branch, well his butler did, and him on top of him.
"Bo-chan, don't struggle so much, you might fall."
"No I won't. Now get me down, Sebastian." The boy ordered.
The demon butler took hold of his Master's small frame, carried him bridal style much to the boy's annoyance before jumping down the tree.
Naturally, he landed gracefully on his feet, much like a cat.
He took a look at his master, whose eye seem to have closed during the process and the grip on his vest tightened. He smiled at the sight for his master rarely showed any weakness and if he did, he'd deny it.
"We're already down, Bo-chan."
The boy's eye opened, revealing it's beautiful hue of deep aquamarine once more.
"We're you scared, Bo-chan?" The butler decided to tease.
As expected the boy glared at him, "Of course not! Who do you think I am?" He defended. The butler inwardly shrugged, why doesn't he jus admit that he is scared of heights? They both know damn well that he is.
"I am Ciel Phantomhive! Something as silly as that…" He trailed off once he saw the knowing stare his butler gave him, and then he noticed the grip he had on his vest before blushing slightly and struggled against his butler's hold.
"Put me down this instant!" he commanded and the butler did so.
The boy huffed a bit before looking at his surroundings. They appeared to be near a lake surrounded by the forest.
"Where are we?"
"We are in Eden, Bo-chan."
"Yes, obviously, but which part?"
"I'd say around the eastern part of the garden." The butler commented, checking the environment as well for any unwanted enemies.
"Let's get a move on, as much as I want to stay, its best if we keep moving, to get any enemy of our trail." Ciel stated as he began walking, his butler following suit.
Ciel knew Sebastian could easily defeat those enemies in a cinch, but it was best to avoid fights for now, they should find food first; to replenish any lost energy so that they can use it when a really tough opponent comes around. So for the meantime he could just let them finish themselves off. Yes, this was a common tactic but highly effective in survival games.
Ciel may only be 12 but he was not stupid, this was just a game like all the others he played on people to get what he wanted and that was his specialty. He wouldn't be beaten in his own game by some lady, witch of dimensions or not.
He would win.
And that prize was his.
Suddenly both of them stops as they heard rustling in the bushes, Ciel nodded to Sebastian before saying, "Sebastian, this is an order, defeat him." He commanded, pointing to whoever would come out of those bushes.
The butler's blood red eyes seem to glow eerily and he smiled sinisterly.
"Yes, my lord."
