Reborn had sent a picture of Tsunayoshi to Iemitsu last night and the man nearly passed out, seeing how identical the mysterious boy was to his "Tuna-Fish" seriously Reborn needed to use his Leon hammer on the idiot. Who the hell gives their child such a stupid nickname anyway? Iemitsu stated that Tsuna had no cousin at all, and the fact that the boy looked similar to him was suspicious enough. Iemitsu told Reborn that he'd be coming over to deal with the boy. Reborn sighed, he was seriously an idiot. Tsuna wouldn't let anything happen to Tsunayoshi and if he ever found out Iemitsu tried doing something to him. The hitman was could sense the brunette's hatred towards Iemitsu, which was to be expected seeing as how the fool never came home to actually check up on his family, he would sometimes use that pathetic excuse about how the Famiglia came first then his family. Pathetic. If he tries using that excuse on his son then he'd have hell to pay from the brunette.
Speaking of said brunette he watched as his student did his daily routine, being woken up, going downstairs, eating breakfast and leaving the house with his two bodyguards, but this time was different because Gokudera was outside waiting for him, "Good morning Tsuna-sama!"
Tsuna smiled, "Good morning Hayato, not that I don't appreciate you waiting for me but why how long have you been out here for?"
"Two hours." Gokudera said simply.
"That's too long!" Yuki exclaimed.
Yoshi sweat-dropped, "I've heard about loyal dogs but this is ridiculous."
Tsuna sighed, "Hayato, you don't have to wait that long for me okay?"
"If that's what Tsuna-sama wants." Gokudera complied.
The four of them walked to school with Reborn sitting on top of the brunette's head observing the interaction with him and Gokudera. The two of them were talking about random things with Yuki and Tsunayoshi in the background commenting from time to time and then fighting with each other, which led to Tsuna whacking them both on the head for it. They soon reached the school the student's staring at the boy surprised that the silver haired teen was hanging out with Creepy-Tsuna, the bomber would threaten everyone around him if they so much as looked at Tsuna making the brunette sigh. The four arrived in the classroom with Yuki, Yoshi, and Gokudera surrounding the brunette's desk.
"That reminds me," Tsuna suddenly said, "Yuki-chan, did you inform the client that we'd be there after school today?"
She nodded, "Yep! The client said it was okay and will be waiting for us!"
Tsunayoshi scoffed, "That's a first, being so understanding all of a sudden. The world might end tomorrow."
"Don't be like that Yoshi," Tsuna chuckled, "People can change their ways if you give them a chance."
"Hmph." Yoshi pouted.
"Tsuna-sama, who is this client you keep talking about?" Gokudera asked.
The brunette turned to him, "Well…let's just say I do job requests from time to time. I usually do them on the weekends, but this one's urgent so I have to do it after school ends today. Yoshi and Yuki come with me on the job requests too."
"Then I'll go with you Tsuna-sama!" Gokudera declared.
Tsuna shook his head, "I appreciate it Hayato I really do, but I would feel more comfortable with you not getting involved. These job requests I take are serious, and I don't want you getting hurt."
Gokudera was touched that his boss was thinking about his well being, "I appreciate you being worried about me, but I want to go with you! I want to be of service anyway I can!"
The brunette looked like he wanted to argue but the look on Gokudera's face made him give in, hopefully this job won't be so bad and the bomber wouldn't have to get himself killed trying to help. Hopefully.
Tsuna sighed, "All right then, but if it get's too bad I want you to step back and let me handle it, okay?"
"Hai Tsuna-sama!" Gokudera smiled.
Yuki and Yoshi looked at each other and nodded to each other.
The door opened and Yamamoto soon walked in his arm in a sling and bandages were wrapped around the arm. His face looked absolutely heartbroken. Tsuna noticed that his so called friends were asking what happened but when he smiled and told them he won't be able to play baseball for awhile they looked uncomfortable and left not even seeing if he was okay. The brunette scoffed, this is why sometimes he couldn't stand being around humans all that much even though he was human himself he was more human than the rest of these clowns. And with that he got up from his seat and grabbed Yamamoto's other arm and dragged him out of the room with Yoshi, Yuki, and Gokudera following right after him.
"Oi Tsuna! What's wrong?" Yamamoto asked not understanding why the brunette yanked him out of the classroom so suddenly.
Tsuna's face had a scowl on it, "I can't stand watching that pathetic display anymore." They arrived at the infirmary's office the brunette sitting Yamamoto on the bed, "Yoshi, Yuki-chan guard the door outside and make sure no one comes in here, Hayato you can stay here."
Yoshi and Yuki nodded standing outside the door with Yuki closing the door behind her and Gokudera staying inside near the brunette, "What are you going to do, Tsuna-sama?"
Tsuna didn't answer instead he brought two fingers up an orange flame appeared around them. He touched the damaged arm and it started glowing taking Yamamoto and Gokudera by surprise and made them amazed at the same time. The light was so beautiful that they couldn't turn away from it, after a few more minutes the glowing stopped and Tsuna brought his hand back, "Try moving your arm now Yamamoto."
Yamamoto was dumbfounded but found himself moving his damaged arm; only it didn't feel damaged anymore. In fact, he didn't feel any pain at all. He unwrapped the bandages from around his arm and saw there was no broken bone at all or bruises. He was completely healed.
He looked at the brunette in awe, "But…how…?"
Tsuna had cheeky grin on his face, "Magic…" he found himself slumping over until Yamamoto caught him by the shoulders keeping him from falling out of the chair. Good thing he was sitting in front of Yamamoto when he healed his arm.
"You okay Tsuna?!" Yamamoto asked seeing he brunette's tried face.
"Tsuna-sama!" Gokudera went to his side also concerned.
The door opened with Yoshi and Yuki walking into the room closing the door behind them, "I got him Yamamoto." Yoshi told the boy picking Tsuna up and placing him in the infirmary bed next to Yamamoto tucking Tsuna under the covers. Tsuna did look tired but with some rest he should be okay by the time school lets out.
Tsuna looked over at Yoshi and smiled, "I'm alright, I'm just a little tired that's all. I just need to sleep and I'll be better in no time."
Yoshi nodded, "I know. Now get some sleep."
"We'll watch over you in the mean time just like always." Yuki smiled.
Tsuna smiled at them then looked over at Yamamoto and Gokudera, "You two should head back to class…I'll be fine…" and with that he drifted off to sleep.
Yuki giggled, "Sweet dreams, Tsuna."
Yoshi sat on the side of the bed, "Geez, using his healing ability then passing out. Guess he wanted to make sure every bone in Yamamoto's arm was healed, even the bruises are gone."
Yamamoto stared at the brunette then looked at the Yoshi, "Hey Yoshi, just now what did Tsuna do?"
Yoshi smirked, "Didn't you hear him? It was magic."
Gokudera's eyes sparkled, "Amazing! As expected of Tsuna-sama! I didn't know he could use magic!"
Yuki giggled, "He learned it from his master! He also picked up one of his habits but you'll probably see it soon enough!"
"You got that right." Yoshi sighed.
Yamamoto looked at Tsuna with gratitude, standing up from the bed he went over to the sleeping brunette and rubbed his head, "Thanks Tsuna…"
"Ah! Bastard, don't touch Tsuna-sama!" Gokudera yelled.
Yamamoto laughed, "Don't yell Gokudera, Tsuna's sleeping."
Yoshi sighed, "You two can head back to class if you want, we'll watch over Tsuna in the meantime."
Gokudera shook his head, "No, I need to stay here and make sure no one comes in here and disturb Tsuna-sama."
Yamamoto smiled a real genuine smile, "I'll stay here too. I owe it Tsuna!"
Yuki smiled while Yoshi smirked. Looks like Tsuna gained another human friend. Meanwhile Reborn had seen the whole display from far away and saw how his student healed the baseball star's arm using the same flames from before.
"Tsuna…just who are you?"
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Tsuna woke up just before it was time to leave school blinking a few times his vision cleared and he yawned alerting the occupants in the room that he was awake.
"Ah Tsuna-sama your awake!" Gokudera smiled.
Tsuna sat up and stretched his arms above his head, "That was a good nap," he looked over and saw Gokudera and Yamamoto were still here making him blink in confusion, "You two didn't skip class did you?"
"Hai!" Gokudera said.
"Hahaha, yeah we did. But don't worry Hibari-sempai didn't come in here to bother us so its okay." Yamamoto smiled.
Tsuna looked at him, "Your smile…its real this time."
Yamamoto looked at him, "Eh?"
"Every time I saw you I noticed that your smiles were fake. It was always forced showing no true emotion in them, and the idiots around you didn't even care to ask what was wrong," Tsuna scoffed, "They just used you for their own purpose like winning baseball games, and when they saw you were injured they abandoned you without a second thought. Disgusting."
Gokudera nodded in agreement, he couldn't stand his classmates, well Kyoko Sasagawa and Hana Kurokawa were okay but the rest were garbage.
Yamamoto looked touched that Tsuna was worried has been worried about hi this whole time, and it was genuine concern and not fake. The baseball player hugged the brunette out of nowhere and smiled brightly, "Thank you Tsuna, I mean it really."
"There's no reason to thank me, we are friends after all Yamamoto." Tsuna smiled.
Yamamoto pulled back and smiled, "Call me Takeshi!"
"Then Takeshi."
"Bastard! Don't touch Tsuna-sama!" Gokudera growled.
"Maa maa, what's the harm? We're all friends." Yamamoto grinned happily.
"Like hell!" Gokudera growled.
"Hayato, Takeshi's a good friend," Tsuna scolded, "Get along well with each other okay?"
"If Tsuna-sama says so…" Gokudera resigned.
"Such interesting humans these two are." Yoshi commented.
Yuki giggled, "Their funny too."
Tsuna looked at the clock, "I woke up just in time too! Its time to get to work."
Yoshi, Yuki, and Gokudera nodded while Yamamoto looked confused, "Work?"
Tsuna go up from the bed, "That's right, its an urgent job request so I have to get going."
Yamamoto smiled, "Then I'll go with you!"
"Eh?" Tsuna blinked.
"It'll be a lot faster with more people right? So I'll go with you." Yamamoto grinned.
"We're not going there to play around baseball freak! This job is important to Tsuna-sama!" Gokudera growled but Yamamoto just laughed it off.
Tsuna sighed, "Fine, but I strongly suggest you two bring weapons with you. It could get violent."
"Hai Tsuna-sama!" Gokudera said.
Yamamoto smiled, "I'll bring my bat with me!"
"I said we're not going there to play around!" Gokudera yelled.
"Hayato, believe it or not a bat is considered a legitimate weapon so its actually appropriate," Tsuna interjected, "People just use it for non violent purposes like hitting a ball."
"Oh…I see." Gokudera sweat-dropped.
Yamamoto laughed again.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The five of them left school about five minutes before it was time for everyone to leave the school. The brunette led them all the way to town before going into an alley where there were no people around, "This should be fine."
"Are we meeting the client here Tsuna-sama?" Gokudera asked.
Tsuna smiled, "Nope, besides the client we're meeting doesn't like filthy places like alley ways."
"In other words the client's stuck up." Yoshi stated.
"You better hope the client isn't watching us right now." Yuki sweat-dropped.
Tsuna used his finger to trace something on the wall; it was a kanji symbol that read, 開館 (Open). It glowed red and soon the alleyway wall split open amazing Gokudera and Yamamoto.
The brunette turned to them, "Let's get going then." He walked through the others following right behind him walking through they saw it was a long red hallway with lanterns lighting up every time they walked by. Yamamoto and Gokudera couldn't believe their eyes, their friend and boss was more amazing than they realized. They soon came to a stop when a big red door was in front of them, Tsuna opened the door and sitting there on the couch taking a smoke from a pipe was beautiful woman with long red hair wearing a red kimono with yellow birds on them. Her eyes were dark blue, having red lipstick on her lips. She was had her legs stretched out on the couch her kimono half open exposing her leg having her head hanged back in relaxation. She turned her head to her guests her eyes brightening up when she saw Tsuna, "Tsu-chan! You made it!"
Tsuna smiled, "Of course, I would never turn down a request from a friend."
She giggled, "Your such a sweetheart as always," she spotted Yuki and Tsunayoshi, "Ara, Yuki-chan it's been awhile. How are your sister's doing?"
Yuki scoffed, "Hone-chan's fine, I could care less about ugly rain."
The woman giggled, "You three are always so entertaining, hello there Yoshi-chan. I so do appreciate your comment about me being stuck up, your sharp tongue has gotten better it seems."
He looked away, "Hmph."
Tsuna chuckled and sat on one of the cushions near the table in front of her with Gokudera and Yamamoto sitting on each side of him, with Yuki sitting next to Gokudera and Tsunayoshi sitting next to Yamamoto.
"Oh my! You have human friends!" she chirped happily, "And their so handsome too!"
Yamamoto laughed, "Thanks for the compliment ma'am."
Gokudera blushed and bowed, "Th-thank you as well."
Yoshi rolled his eyes, "Stop flirting with them, it's unbecoming of you."
She pouted, "Mou, your no fun~"
Gokudera whispered in Tsuna's ear, "Um Juudaime, who is this woman?"
"This is Amanozako-san," Tsuna explained, "She's a monstrous goddess originating from Susanoo. In ancient texts it's stated that she has a ferocious temper and is beast like which couldn't be farther from the truth."
Gokudera looked at the woman with sparkles in his eyes, "She's a…UMA!"
Amanozako giggled, "Your quite the interesting one aren't you, but sorry to say that I am no UMA. I'm an actual goddess my dears. Everything you've heard about or read about in your books about yokai, gods, and oni are true."
"Seriously?!" Yamamoto smiled, "That's amazing!"
"Tsuna-sama knows an actual goddess!" Gokudera smiled.
She turned to the brunette, "These two are really interesting."
Tsuna nodded, "They are, now then lets discuss the job you requested Amanozako-san."
She suddenly turned serious; "Yes…I'm sorry to say that is something I was unable to handle on my own, that's why I requested your help."
Yuki and Yoshi's eyes widened, "N-no way! Something Amanozako-sama is unable to handle is unheard of!" Yuki exclaimed.
Yoshi nodded, "This one must be more dangerous and corrupted than we originally thought."
The woman nodded sitting up on the couch puffing out some smoke from her lips, "Unfortunately yes, I may be a goddess but I can easily be corrupted myself should I get too close let alone touch it. The malic its accumulated is overwhelming, if it continues on like this then I'm afraid it will start attacking innocent humans soon."
"That sounds bad." Yamamoto commented.
Tsuna nodded, "It is, once it starts attacking people then things will get more complicated," he sighed, "Do you know its location?"
She smoked from her pipe before answering, "Namimori Park, and I'm sure you don't need me to tell you this but don't let its form deceive you."
Tsuna stood up, "I won't." and with that he walked away with Yuki, Yoshi, Gokudera, and Yamamoto following right behind him.
Amanozako watched them leave with a smile, "Your finally interacting with humans again after such a long time, don't forget that your bond is stronger the more connections you make with those around you. Never forget that…Tsuna."
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Tsuna and the gang were currently at Namimori Park at night waiting for something to happen.
Yamamoto had his bat out while Gokudera was prepared to take out his dynamite. Yuki and Yoshi were looking around trying to see if they could sense anything but so far nothing happened.
"Don't let your guards down everyone," Tsuna warned them, "It could show up at any moment."
Gokudera nodded, "Hai Juudaime!"
Yamamoto laughed, "This is kinda fun!"
"Baseball freak this isn't fun at al-" a loud piercing roar interrupted him making everyone tense. Looking around they saw it was a doll that was moving its head in a circular motion before its eyes glowed red growing in size its form becoming disfigured and ugly. It arms and legs grew longer hunched over in position to attack.
Tsuna got into position, "Get ready to attack!"
"Hai!" They all yelled.
The monster tried to send one of its claws at Yuki but it proved useless when she froze the whole thing shattering it to pieces.
Yuki smiled, "Too bad for you, I'm an expert when it comes to the cold."
Yoshi started transforming making Gokudera and Yamamoto to look at him. Yoshi had transformed into…a giant black fox with nine tails surrounded by blue fire!
"Whoa! Amazing!" Yamamoto stared in awe.
"Yoshi-san's a UMA?!" Gokudera looked in awe as well.
Yoshi gave them a side glance, "Not quite, for you see I am," he pounced on the monster pinning it to the ground biting its neck making it cry out in pain then stopped biting it, "A Shikigami created by Tsuna."
The two boys looked at Tsuna in amazement, if he could create Yoshi then what else could he do?
"Takeshi, Hayato hold your weapons out!" Tsuna told them.
"Hai Tsuna-sama!" Gokudera took out three sticks of dynamite.
"Got it!" Yamamoto held his bat out.
Tsuna stretched his hands out towards both weapons, "Show us your true forms and lend us your strength! 目覚め (Awaken)!" Both weapons glowed blue and red, when the light died down Yamamoto and Gokudera saw their weapons had changed forms. Yamamoto's bat transformed into a blue katana, even the blade was blue with the kanji symbol for "rain" on the blade. Gokudera's dynamite became red glowing arrows but you could see the kanji symbol for "storm" on there.
Yamamoto stared at his weapon, it feeling just right, "Amazing…"
Gokudera smiled, "To think that Tsuna-sama would give me such an amazing weapon! I'm eternally grateful!"
Tsuna smiled, "I need you two to make sure you don't get yourselves hurt out there okay? I need you to help Yuki and Yoshi distract it while I prepare to cleanse it, can you do that?"
"You can count on me Tsuna!" Yamamoto smiled.
"I won't fail you Tsuna-sama!" Gokudera said with determination.
The two boys charged at the monster with Yuki giving them a hand sending ice pillars at the monster piercing its skin, Yoshi saw them coming and decided to let them handle it.
Gokudera attacked first jumping in the air with support from Yoshi he threw the arrows at the monster the red flames burning its other arm off. Yamamoto took that chance to charge at it with quick speed and went for the legs cutting them cleanly off with the blue flame making them no more. The monster fell down unable to use its limbs anymore and was completely helpless for what came next.
"All of you get out of the way!" Tsuna yelled.
They nodded and jumped out of the way and no sooner than that Tsuna's body glowed orange his hands were together almost like he was praying, "Wash away the darkness before me," he chanted, "清める (Cleanse)!" The kanji symbol appeared before him then hurled itself at the monster hitting its mark the monster cried out in pain feeling its whole body being engulfed in orange and blue like fire rendering it no more. In its place the doll from before landed on the ground no longer possessed by the evil spirit possessing it.
Yuki sighed out in relief, "Whew, that went better than I thought it would."
Yoshi changed back, "Indeed, looks like I was worried for nothing but the evil surrounding it was thick. I can see why Amanozako had a harm time dealing with it herself, we were lucky."
Yamamoto stared at the weapon seeing it didn't go back to being his normal bat. This sword, Tsuna went out of his way to make him a weapon that probably saved him from getting killed. He smiled softly at the blade his mind made up, knowing what he was going to.
Gokudera took out the rest of his dynamite and saw they all changed into red arrows that weren't glowing this time. Tsuna-sama created him a new weapon and he felt warm inside. Never before had anyone done this for him and worried about his safety, but he did and Gokudera was grateful for it.
"Tsuna!" Both boys snapped out of their thoughts and heard Yuki yell out Tsuna's name turning to their direction they saw Tsuna was unconscious in Tsunayoshi's arms.
"Tsuna-sama/Tsuna!" they ran over to them and the unconscious brunette unknown to them someone was watching the whole thing and couldn't believe what he saw. It was Reborn.
"Tsuna…what the hell have you gotten yourself into?" Reborn said.
