I can't believe this turned out so long, pretty much just for Shamal! D To all your Shamal-lovers/likers/fans eat it up! Hopefully I'll cram more stuff into the next chapter


"HIII!"

All the bodies of those present in the area turned to hear a gush of wind, and see the distraught face of Sawada Tsunayoshi, his gaze snapping from the Varia members and the figures of those he had not yet met. Reborn! Why did you make me come here? Tsuna thought to himself, radically being propelled forwards abruptly by an unknown force. His face met the street and he slid forward slightly. "Huuuh?" Tsuna asked loudly, looking up to see Shamal looming over him, a drunken grin plastered on his face. "D-Doctor Shamal? What are you doing here?" Tsuna asked, sitting up slowly. The fight ahead forgotten for the moment. Then came a few more people, hopping off a bus that had parked itself on a corner at the end of the street. The figures of Yamamoto and Gokudera formed, as they headed towards the duo.

"Tenth are you okay?" Gokudera asked, his impulse to help Tsuna overriding him as he noticed the scratches on his palms and cheeks. Rushing up to Tsuna he leaned down, Yamamoto tailing behind him.

"Eh? What're you two doing here?" Tsuna questioned, his voice only rising in shock, his eyes widening as he rubbed some pebbles off his cheeks. Gokudera glared at Shamal, growling at him briefly before returning his attention to Tsuna.

"Tenth-" Gokudera's rant of worry was quickly cut off by Yamamoto.

"The kid had forced us on the bus behind you. So, we pretty much had to come! But this place seems interesting" He said rubbing the back of his head. Tsuna sighed in reply, nodding.

"Then where are Hibari and Lambo. . ? If it was Reborn, he must have made more people come here" Tsuna said, his voice trailing off as his gaze wandered, trying to pin point those who were missing.

"Hibari was right behind-" Yamamoto started and looked behind him, seeing that Hibari had disappeared. "-Guess he went off somewhere"

Gokudera helped Tsuna up and the four guys surveyed the battle occurring, seeing as it hadn't missed a beat since they had arrived. They only truly recognized Belphegor from the battle, or "Prince the Ripper" whom had fought Gokudera. The one who he was fighting was unfamiliar to them.

"Well then" Shamal slurred, his body lurching forwards slightly. "I-" he started a frown turning his lips downwards. He peered into the distance and caught sight of Anri. Her body placed protectively behind Mikaido, who still stood still as a board on the side of the street. The drunken grin returned to Shamal's lips as he quickly rushed forwards, wrapping an arm around the girl and grabbing her large breast delicately. "Hello there~" Shamal cooed in her ear, all the muscles in Anri's body tensing, goose flesh spreading across her neck.

"Eh?" Mikaido yelled, Anri blushing deeply, but her eyes only flickering into a very rich color of crimson red as she stared at the stranger.

"Get off" Anri said in a hushed tone, as Shamal leaned forwards, attempting to hear her better. But he only grinned wider, and grabbed her harder, leaning further to kiss her.

"Give me a kiss" he said, and Tsuna yelled at Shamal farther away to stop it immediately. Just as he was about to kiss Anri, and just as Anri was about to slice Shamal into pieces with the sword slowly inching out of her skin, a voice rose up.

"Hey old man! Get off Anri pervert!" Kida yelled, a harsh expression on his face, quite cold and unwelcoming as he hurried to Anri's side. Exchanging a glance with Mikaido who was too shocked, and confused to do a thing to help her. "I think you should try to go find another cute girl elsewhere" Kida said, scowling in Shamal's face. Sparks flew between the two as Mikaido reached out, and pinched Shamal's fingers, forcing him to let go of Anri. Anri rushed back to Mikaido's side blinking and calming down.

Shamal simply stumbled off, grumbling to himself about inconsiderate kids and cute girls being too protective. "What're we going to do?" Tsuna asked, his voice cracking in his fear of the situation.

"USHISHISHI! Blood! Blood!" Belphegor called, wrapping an arm around his waist and arching his back. Shooting a few move of his special knives in Izaya's direction. He hadn't dodged well enough for a second time, and his right cheek got slashed once more, a tiny drop of blood slowly rolling down his cheek. He chuckled, and brushed the blood away, hopping backwards to avoid being cut any deeper by the blond.

"Let's head out. I heard there's a new shop opening down town. We should check it out" Kida advised randomly, trying to create a better situation for the uncomfortable and still-blushing Anri. Mikaido and Anri nodded, and the trio headed off and away from the fighting. It was one less thing to worry about.
