Chapter 4: The Mist and the Gathering of the Sky Elements
"Kufufufu"
"H-hey who are you?" The stepfather asked. The teen continued to chuckle before his gaze turned sharp. He was truly angry and for a good reason. "Some low life like you has no right to know my name. Both of you are worthless, you two should rather die than her."
"What's this? Is this how you talk to your elders?" The mother questioned, acting strong and furious but the teen knew she was terrified. He walked forward, his red eyes glowing.
They both became trapped in their minds. It was suddenly dark and they were both tied up to a chair. In front of them were two shadowed men with creepy smiles. They were scared out of their minds but soon the only thing they felt was pain. They felt the pain of being cut, burned and tortured in every way imaginable.
In reality they sat on the floor, shivering and shouting from the illusions in there mind. The teen only stood there laughing, enjoying how he tortured them possibly from his own mental illusions. He really wanted them dead but a certain person might get angry if he did such thing, so instead he made them suffer through his demonic illusions.
The teen looked around for a while before leaving the parents to suffer. Maybe marking their mind break would satisfy him. Thinking about the two being sent to a mental hospital felt fabulous. He chuckled as he thought about it but then halted when he came to a certain room.
He opened the door, not bothering to knock but he did make sure not to startle the person who was resting inside. On the side of the door where the nameplate was attach, the name written was 'Nagi'.
He walked inside in silence and closed the door carefully before facing the person who was on the hospital bed. There were many machines attached to a very fragile girl. The girl was weak and breathing heavily.
He couldn't help but give a gentle smile, seeing her truly made him happy. He slowly approached her. He stared at her for a moment before calling her name.
"Nagi" He called softly as he placed his hand to her head. Slowly, her eyes opened.
Her vision was still blurred but she could tell someone whom she didn't know was called her name. She looked to her side, trying to see who was there. She waited, until her vision began to clear, seeing someone who had red eyes with a kanji inside the left, and the same hair as hers in pineapple style. She was a bit shock that someone had come to see her. As far as she remembered, she didn't have any friends and she had never met him. So who was he?
The teen who saw she could finally see him clearly smiled. "How do you feel Nagi?" He questioned gently.
'Who're you?' She had thought. The teen chuckled, which was a little creepy but somehow she felt at ease when she heard it. The teen answered the mental question. "Rokudo Mukuro. We finally meet again… Nagi."
'Eh?'
"Kufufufu… Nagi… Do you remember me?" The teen whose name was Rokudo Mukuro asked. Nagi thought back to if she had truly ever met him, but she was sure she never had. "Are you sure Nagi?" He asked which surprise her. Could he read her mind?
"Hmm… so you really do not remember. Well of course, that Octopus Head gave me a headache at first even that Stupid Cow when I met him." Mukuro said with irritation in his tone. However turning back to her made him smile again. "Maybe you'll remember when you wore this… right Nagi?"
'What is he talking about?' She asked mentally. Mukuro took something out from his pocket. It was an earring but seemed a bit different and unique. The style was almost gothic style and there were the words Vongola X on it.
Mukuro continued to smile until he put the earring to her right ear gently. Nagi can't help but blush on how near he was. Once it was placed, Mukuro waited. Nagi felt the earring in her ears and suddenly, memories were entering her mind with great speed. Mukuro could tell she'd started to remember so he decided to check her body condition before using his illusion to make temporary organs inside her.
After a long time waiting, he saw teardrops in her eyes. He wiped it using his hand and a genuine smile. "Do you remember me… Chrome?"
Nagi smiled and nodded at the use of her true name. "I remember… Mukuro-sama."
"Kufufufu good to know. I used my illusions for your lost organs. For now I think we better get going, our Sky is waiting for us." Mukuro said as he was now slowly taking out the things that were attached the Chrome's body.
Chrome thought for a moment before she realized who he was talking about. How could she forget the one person who gave them a family? Once everything was removed, she smiled and nodded.
"Mukuro-sama… let's go to Bossu's side." She said, excited to see him again. Mukuro nod and carefully carried her bridal style.
"Let's go Chrome."
"Yes."
Both disappeared into mist.
Three days had passed and, Ieyuji had asked Mochida to be his subordinate and he had agreed. He was his first subordinate. Reborn didn't approve of him much but let it go, it's his student's decision and he wouldn't interfere, on the other hand his mind was on Tsunayoshi.
As Reborn observed the twins, Tsunayoshi's Famiglia was funnier and had stronger bonds than Ieyuji and Mochida who were always arguing about Kyoko.
Kyoko on the other hand wasn't interested in the two, she was more curious about how her Onii-san, Sasagawa Ryohei was able to talk to Tsuna with problem. Hana was suspicious but, she couldn't find any answers no matter who she interrogated.
The day came when the twins met Miura Haru on the bridge. The younger twin was arguing with Haru about treating children while the older brother only watch them on the sideline. Ieyuji got so irritated that he glared at his brother who was still watching them.
"Hey Soulless Brother! Do something about this stupid woman will you!?" He shouted in anger.
"I have a name desu! Haru desu! Now stop polluting the babies minds you evil man!" The girl named Haru protested at the same time arguing with him. They were so close that the only thing left to do was push both their head a bit to kiss.
Reborn was watching the scene before facing Tsunayoshi. "What do you plan to do to those two?" Reborn questioned out of curiosity.
Tsunayoshi stared them blankly then glanced at Reborn. The Arcobaleno studied his eyes carefully, knowing he was trying to say something. Worried. Reborn got the message and shift back on the two and so did Tsuna. They continue to argue when suddenly , Ieyuji pushed Haru off the rails below into the river.
Haru screamed as she was falling. She closed her eyes, expecting the impact of the water ... but nothing happened. She slowly opened her eyes and looked up. She was surprise, to see Tsunayoshi had saved her. Even in a small body, he was able to pick her up like nothing and help her sat on the rails.
Haru blushed at her savior but at the same time was confused why she saw no emotions in his eyes, like he was lifeless. Tsuna turned to his brother who was very angry at the fact he saved her.
"Why did you save that bitch Soulless brat? Don't act as if you're a-" Before Ieyuji could complete his words, Reborn kicked his head.
The Sun Arcobaleno pulled down his fedora, hiding the disappointment in his eyes.
"A boss wouldn't act like that or harm any innocent people around him, Baka Yuji." He gave a angry glare and released a aura of killer intent that made Ieyuji tremble in fear.
"For not fitting the boss requirements, I'll give you hell."
Ieyuji can't take it anymore and he ran for his life. Reborn's killer intent disappeared as he shifted his attention to the other two people, Tsuna was staring at him blankly and Haru still staring at her savior with a great red blush on her cheek. She had completely fallen in love with her savior.
Reborn could see it in his eyes, he was also disappointed in yuji like him.
'Maybe this is what Tsuna was talking about... I need to change that brat's attitude or report to Nono about changing his mind.' Reborn thought angrily, he was never this irritated, with his previous student.
At the Namimori town entrance, both Rokudo Mukuro and Chrome Dokuro stood looking down at the town ahead where there Sky and other friends resided. Mukuro was wearing a long indigo coat, with a white Shirt and black pants and shoes while Chrome was wear a indigo blazer and skirt, with black shoes and a eye patch over her right eye.
"We're here dear Chrome." Mukuro said as he glanced at the sign on the side, 'Namimori'. Chrome smiled and nodded, "I can't wait to meet everyone again Mukuro-sama."
"Kufufufu well I'm sure the Octopus Head has already completed his mission." Mukuro commented, remembering a certain Storm Guardian.
Chrome replied, "I'm sure he has Mukuro-sama. He of all people would take something like this seriously."
"Kufufufu correct." Mukuro turn to the road ahead and smirked, "I can't wait to see the Skylark again and fight him."
"Mukuro-sama."
"Do not worry my dear Chrome, I know. For now, I want you to be mentally ready." Mukuro reminded her.
She remembered his warning and it made her feel sad and guilty. Chrome took a deep breath to calm herself before nodding. Mukuro nodded back, taking that as a yes.
"Kufufufu" Mukuro chuckled again as a certain earring came to view from his right ear. It was his Earring of the Mist Version X.
Both Mukuro and Chrome disappeared into a for of mist.
At Namimori Middle School, only Tsunayoshi had felt their presence. Even though his eyes were blank, there was happiness within them. Gokudera and Yamamoto noticed his behavior and they knew why.
For Gokudera he felt it in his Buckle while Yamamoto in his Necklace.
At the school hallway, Hibari was patrolling the area when he felt it in his bracelet.
In Ryohei's class, he felt it in his bangle.
Back home where Lambo was staying, he felt it in his helmet.
All in all, everyone felt the sensation of their flames, the time of gathering had arrived.
In the evening, Reborn was tortu-tutoring Yuji when someones knock on the door and made him pause in his tortu-teaching session.
"Come in." Reborn called. The door opened, revealing Tsuna who was session. A plain black shirt, orange jacket and gray pants.
"Huh? What do you want Soulless Tsuna?" Ieyuji asked, not wanting to see his soulless brother right now.
Tsuna stared at them before walking away, leaving the door open. Reborn got the silent message to follow him so he walked out of the room. Ieyuji has no idea what was happening so he followed only out of curiosity.
They went down and saw their mother still cooking. Lambo was also present, waiting for his Tsuna-nii to come and really happy for some reason. Lambo wore his cow clothes as usual.
"Is there something wrong?" Nana questioned, noticing them present. "Dinner is still not ready yet so-"
"Maman" Lambo interrupted, "Me and Tsuna-nii will be out for a while. We might not come home today."
"Ara, and where are the both of you going?" Nana asked, surprised on the sudden announcement.
"We'll be at Takeshi-nii's house for today. Something came up so we're heading there now. It was sudden so sorry about that Maman. Lambo-sama is also explaining it for Tsuna-nii." Lambo glanced up to his brother first then back to her.
She thought for a moment before giving her sign of approval, "Okay you two but be sure to come home early tomorrow."
Lambo smiled while Tsuna felt relief even though it didnt shown. Ieyuji was just happy he wouldn't be around.
The doorbell rang indicating they had visitors. Tsuna opened the door, revealing Gokudera outside the gate. He was wearing a red shirt with a black jacket and jeans.
"I came here for Juudaime." Gokudera said happily, honored to see him again.
Nana peeked out and smiled, "Oh Gokudera-kun, you came to pick him up?" She asked cheerfully.
Gokudera nodded happily, "Yes, Sawada-san, I'm here to protect Juudaime."
"Hahaha, that's so sweet and sorry for all the trouble Gokudera-kun." Nana was very happy that her son met someone like him.
Lambo run to Gokudera, telling him to carry him so he did. Both looked at their boss. Tsuna stared at them first then Reborn. The Sun Arcobaleno noticed it and gazed up, Tsuna sat on the floor to lower his head.
"You want me to come along?" Reborn questioned the gesture, Tsuna nodded as a yes. Reborn smiled and hopped onto his head, while Tsuna stood up. He looked at his mother, just staring but it seemed his mother finally understood what he was trying to say.
"Take care Tsu-kun, Reborn-kun." She smiled at them.
Tsuna nodded then went out with Gokudera and Lambo. Reborn turned back to his idiot student. Ieyuji was happy he could finally do what he likedq but, "Don't relax Baka Yuji, I'll check your homework when I get back. If I see any wrong answers, you know what will happen... don't you?" Reborns threat made him shiver in fear and run back to his room.
Nana chuckled to her Ieyuji they gazed back at the group and waved farewell. The group walked away.
At Hibari's home, he just headed out with his usual disciplinary uniform.
In the Sasagawa home, Ryohei comes out wearing his yellow hoodie and jogging pants.
Both Chrome and Mukuro were walking down the street with there mist surrounding them, making them invisible to anyone they passed.
At TakeSushi, Yamamoto Takeshi was waiting outside with his bat, well his hidden blade to be exact.
Tsuna and Gokudera were walking with Reborn and Lambo. Gokudera looked up at the Arcobaleno and he returned the look.
"Juudaime must have decided to let you know sooner rather than later Reborn-san." Gokudera said with a smile. Reborn smiled back, "I guess he did, beside his hair is more comfortable to ride in than Baka Yuji's."
Gokudera became quiet for awhile before questioning, "I heard what happened to the girl named Haru, is that true?" Reborn nodded. Gokudera's fist clenched, "I'm sorry Reborn-san but he'll pay for that." He said in a tone that promised death in it. He was angry.
"I don't mind, maybe killing him can make Tsuna become the next boss." Reborn stated, like Ieyuji was nothing at all. Lambo smirked to that idea and so did Gokudera. Tsunayoshi's eyes held disapproval.
Soon they met up with Ryohei who joined them heading to their destination.
Next was Hibari who stared walked with them but kept his distance.
They arrived at Takesushi. Yamamoto was waiting with a smile. From the other side of the street at same time the other two arrived.
"Kufufufu, it's been a while." Mukuro said with a smile.
Hibari narrowed his eyes, his own personal way for returning greetings.
"Are those two…?" Gokudera answered, "Yes Reborn-san. Our Mist Guardians, Rokudo Mukuro and Chrome Dokuro."
Reborn hummed at the information. Chrome who finally saw the boss she had longed to see was shocked at her boss's condition, even Mukuro stop smiling because of what he witnessed. Yes, their Sky had become completely lifeless. Nothing more, nothing less.
Chrome wanted to cry but controlled herself. She forced a smile for him, "We've come back… Bossu."
She receives no reply, they didn't expect one. Silence came over the group for a minute until Yamamoto broke it.
"Come in guys, the dojo is ready for us."
Yamamoto slides the door open, revealing people who were eating sushi and his dad working behind the counter.
"Oh Takeshi, have they arrived?" Takeshi's dad questioned.
He nodded a yes and waved as he let his visitors come in. Hibari was the last and a bit far from them until they arrived in dojo. It was dark and Yamamoto turned the lights on for them. They each found a place to sit, Mukuro and Hibari are far from each other as possible.
"Hey Turf Top, be sure to keep an eye on the two." Gokudera ordered.
"You can count on me EXTREME Octopus Head!" Ryohei shouted irritating Hibari in the process.
"Keep your voice down." Gokudera added.
"Yeah" This time, Ryohei answered at a normal volume which made the Storm Guardian sigh.
Yamamoto sat on the floor with Gokudera and Tsunayoshi. Reborn observed everyone who was present. Lambo went ona wild run towards Chrome who carried him and put him on her lap where she sat on the floor near Mukuro.
'These are Tsunayoshi's Guardians… Gokudera Hayato the Storm, Yamamoto Takeshi the Rain, Sasagawa Ryohei the Sun, Bovino Lambo the Lightning, Hibari Kyoya the Cloudand… Two Mists, Rokudo Mukuro and Chrome Dokuro… what a crazy Famiglia you could have.' Reborn thought in amusement.
Tsuna was staring at Reborn for a moment before gazing to everyone.
This time, a serious atmosphere surrounded them.
"Do you know something about what's happened to Juudaime, Pineapple Head?" Gokudera asked his main concern.
"I'm not actually sure Octopus Head. I tried to investigate while looking for my dear Chrome but nothing came up. Did you try investigating yourself here?" Mukuro questioned as he observed everyone.
"I found nothing on my leads." Hibari stated. They all looked at Hibari, his words surprised them.
"You tried to investigate!?" Yamamoto asked in disbelief. Hibari opened his left eye and closed it with a 'hn'.
"I tried but nothing much either." Gokudera said. They kept quiet for a while and that's when Gokudera remembered something important.
"Hey Pineapple Head, where is that person that gave you your Earring?" They now remembered and gazed back to him.
"I don't know. Now that we have gathered, he's supposed to come to us but…" Mukuro trailed of. His eyes went to the Sun Arcobaleno and smirked, "Oya, we have the Arcobaleno with us, kufufufu..."
Reborn merely stared at him.
"Juudaime wanted him to be here, you of all people should know that no matter what we do, Reborn-san will find out sooner or later." Gokudera said in a matter of fact tone. Lambo continued, "Beside, this is for Tsuna-nii's sake. We need to protect him from any enemies. If the Vongola made a wrong conclusion then you know what they'd do."
"We can't make things complicated. I'm sure Tsuna wouldn't like it either." Yamamoto commented.
They all agree on that.
'They take Tsuna's priority over themselves.' Reborn stated mentally.
"So what should we do?" This time, Chrome asked.
Unable to answer, they began thinking until they felt someone's presence. They pulled out their respective weapon: Hibari's Tonfas, Mukuro's Trident, Ryohei's fist, Yamamoto's sword, and Gokudera's dynamite.
Chrome just hugged Lambo tighter but kept herself guard. Reborn transformed Leon into his favorite gun and point at the presence. Someone came out from the entrance. He was floating, wearing white clothes, and his eyes were close but he was smiling at them.
"Yo, it's been a while everyone." He greeted everyone happily.
"Y-you're…!" Gokudera was shocked as he said his name, "Bya-Byakuran!?"
"Hi!" He waved his hand now confirmed to be Byakuran.
"You know him?" Reborn asked, making sure he's wasn't an enemy.
"Yup." Yamamoto smiled brightly as everyone putting down their weapon knowing it was someone they knew. "But why are you here Byakuran?"
"Simple, to tell you the second step!" Byakuran announced.
Mukuro came to a conclusion very fast "Oya oya, don't tell me the person who gave me my Earrings was-"
"Me." Byakuran pointed at himself like he was extremely proud. Byakuran opened his eyes, revealing his purple irises to show he was serious. "Which is why I'm here to do my job Mukuro-kun."
"So how do you know about us?" Ryohei was serious as he asked. It was rare for him to be serious.
Byakuran closed his eyes as he smile brightly again. Byakuran pulled out a bag of marshmallow out of nowhere and began to eat as he began explaining.
"The thing is, I'm the one who sent you to this world, I mean my parallel self in your world. For all of you to come here and help us with our problem. The first step is to make you all gather at the same time, return your memories. The second step is about your boss, Tsunayoshi-kun."
They were serious as they listened to Byakuran, not wanting to ask first. When he mentioned Tsuna's name, they turn to Tsuna who was staring Byakuran blankly. Byakuran continued.
"As you see he is sealed in this world, unable to communicate, even move as much as he truly wishs or show any emotions at all. Finding a key to break it is the second step. The problem is I too have no idea what it is, sorry."
They all sweat drop, except Tsuna of course.
"Then why are we here?" Hibari asked.
"I'm sure ourselves here could have solved the problem of yours with no issues." Mukuro stated.
"About that Kyoya-kun, Mukuro-kun." Byakuran said making Hibari narrow his eyes, speaking his first name without permission. Byakuran continued, "All of you in this world died."
This raised Reborn's curiosity, "What do you mean?"
"Just as I said, Arcobaleno Reborn, they died in this world. You know in Tsunayoshi's past, he died when someone tried to kill him. A robbery? I think that was it." Byakuran said shocking everyone, except Tsuna and Reborn.
Byakuran look to everyone, "Not just him, Hayato-kun, I'm sure you remember that you died because of your sister's poison cooking."
That felt growl pain in his stomach, "Nee-san." Gokudera still hated his sister.
"Takeshi-kun you fell of a cliff by accident on your school trip." Byakuran said and that actually hit Yamamoto hard.
"Ryohei-kun died from internal bleeding after taking care of the thugs who wanted your little sister." Ryohei felt his grip tighten due to that memory.
"Lambo-kun was killed by his own father." Lambo's eye darken as he remembered
that.
"Kyoya-kun you made a wrong move when you attacked the Yakuza alone when you were young." Kyoya narrowed his eyes with hatefulness.
"Mukuro-kun failed in the experiment and died." Mukuro gripped his trident when he heard the word 'experiment'.
"And Chrome-chan died in the car accident." Chrome hugged Lambo even tighter when she remembered that.
"All in all, those are the memories of you in this world. But then how are you here? Simple, by sending your souls here, you can occupy their empty bodies now." End of explanation, for Byakuran.
"So it's like you wanted for them to die? So we could be here!?" Gokudera exclaimed as his grip on his dynamite tightened even more.
"Oh no, I didn't plan on this. To tell you the truth, I didn't expect them to die here in our world. We needed their help but they died and so we had no choice but to ask for help from another world which is your real world. That's why you all came here when you died in your world. Beside you all met again, isn't that good enough?" Byakuran defended.
They became quiet as they processed his words.
"So they all came from another parallel world, not their body but their souls." Reborn explained in one sentence. Byakuran nodded in agreement.
"Parallel world and the future. Tsunayoshi was their Decimo and he was an only child."
Reborn hum at that. 'I see, that explains it.'
"So we got both our memories and our memories here… I see." Chrome stated, and they all agree.
They remembered the message that flashed in their minds when their memories came back after wearing their Vongola Gears. The message was:
Your life has come to an end but this is a new beginning.
A new and a continuation of life.
You who will be taking their place,
help save this world.
Byakuran was happy they remember, "Now our problem is how to break the seal on Tsunayoshi-kun!"
They all began to think.
"Now that I think about it, why is he EXTREMELY different from us?" Ryohei asked.
"Oh, that's because his flames indicate Harmony. He is a Sky flame user… at least I think so." Byakuran said, so it seemed they wouldn't get a clear answer.
"So no other parallel world knows the cure?" Gokudera asked. Byakuran ate another marshmallow and shook his head, telling him he didn't know anything.
Reborn frowned at this. 'Looks like they'll have a hard time figuring things out.'
"Yare yare, now tell us why you wanted us here?" Lambo asked which got everyone's attention and they looked at again Byakuran again.
Byakuran answered, "Until you all cure Tsunayoshi-kun, I cannot say. That is actually the third step, which come later in the future."
Everyone couldn't help but glare at Byakuran except the the Brunette and the Arcobaleno.
"His Vongola Gear! Like us who remember because of our gear, what about that?" Yamamoto suggested.
"About that… I have it here with me." Byakuran said taking out the orange box with a 'X' on it.
Yamamoto stood up and took it then came back with the box. Gokudera opened it, revealing the Ring of the Sky Version X. Gokudera took it and went to his Juudaime.
"Juudaime" Gokudera called as he took Tsuna's right hand which made him stare at the item blankly. Gokudera helped him wear the Ring and let go of his hand, waiting for something to happen but nothing.
"Nothing happen." Chrome stated in disappointment.
Gokudera growled as he turn around to face Byakuran, "Why didn't it work!? Is the Ring real!?"
"Of course it's real Hayato-kun." Byakuran said and opened his eyes to show them he was serious, "But I think that's not the key to cure him, unlike all of you."
The guardians felt frustrated, including Reborn Hibari and Mukuro but mentally because they refused to show any emotions.
Reborn began thinking about another possible cure when he sense someone was staring at him intensely. It was Tsunayoshi, and he looked like he was trying to convey something. Reborn tried to read his eyes again, trying to understand what he was saying within those blank eyes.
"Vongola Ring" All attention turned to Reborn who elaborated. "The first time Tsuna talked to me, he mentioned the Vongola Ring."
"Vongola Ring?" Chrome questioned.
Byakuran seemed to understand, "That might work. If we obtain the Vongola Ring here in this world it may unseal Tsunayoshi's emotions! Great idea Reborn-kun!" he said overjoied
"So we'll steal the Ring from Italy?" Lambo asked, eyes shining in excitement.
"No you STUPID COW! We'll just have to use that opportunity to take it" Gokudera reasoned.
"What do you mean Gokudera?" Yamamoto asked, not understanding what he was talking about.
"Heh, remember the Ring Conflict?" Gokudera reminded.
"Kufufufu great thinking, all we have to do is participate… but the question is if we can." Mukuro pointed out.
"What do you mean to the EXTREME?" Ryohei asked with a shout in the end.
"Remember, it's not Tsunayoshi-kun who is the candidate for Decimo in this world." Mukuro reminded them.
Yamamoto frowned, "Oh, you mean in this world it's Tsuna's Twin, Ieyuji, right?"
Lambo shrugged "We'll just kill him."
"Lambo, bossu doesn't want us to kill, especially not his Twin." Chrome reminded him.
"Chrome is right about that." Yamamoto said as he looked at Tsuna who remained blank throughout the whole conversation.
"Hmm, is that so," Byakuran said with a 'hmm' "Then why don't I kill him? That way, all our problems are solved."
"I don't mind at all." Surprisingly, it was Reborn who approved.
Byakuran laughed, "Hahaha, then its-" He was interrupted when someone shot him with flames that almost hit him "Eh?"
It was Tsuna who was in his Hyper Dying Will Mode, although, his eyes were still blank with white and he wasn't wearing his X gloves. This surprised everyone except Hibari who smirked.
Tsuna continued to shoot at him using his Dying Will Flames while Byakuran continue to dodge them.
"Okay Okay Tsunayoshi-kun, I won't hurt him or kill him! Please stop!" Byakuran begged and finally Tsuna stopped.
Tsuna let go of his Hyper Dying Will Mode and reverted back to normal.
"That was AMAZING JUUDAIME!" Gokudera shouted in amazement.
Yamamoto laugh, Ryohei was now shouting EXTREME and Lambo was just shouting in amazement. Hibari who would usually in this situation threaten to bite them to death actually let them be.
Reborn pulled down his fedora and smirked in amazement at what he had witnessed. 'Looks like Baka Yuji has no chance against him.'
"Kufufufu, looks like he only agrees on participating in the Ring Conflict. We'll just force ourselves into the conflict, weather the Vongola like it or not." Mukuro said while smirking, liking the situation they were heading into.
Chrome just smiled and nodded as her response.
"Hey, wait an EXTREME minute," They turn to Ryohei who shouted. The Sun Guardian questioned the Sun Arcobaleno, "Reborn-san, what do you mean by when Sawada first talked to you? I mean he can't… can he?"
They all turned to Reborn who was holding the tip of his fedora, waiting for his answer. The silence however was broken when they all head Tsuna's pained voice. His head was shaking in pain. Gokudera and Yamamoto immediately went to his side, followed by Chrome, Lambo and Ryohei. Both Hibari and Mukuro on the other hand observed from a far.
Both hands of Tsuna were clenching his head so much that he pushed his head to the floor. They were panicking for their Sky. Reborn didn't take long to figure out what he was trying to do while Byakuran opened his eyes, observing what he knew wasn't a normal headache.
"E-Everyone" They heard their precious Sky's voice which shocked them all, except Reborn who had heard before.
"Dont… cheat… we'll face them… in a fare battle…" Tsuna tried to lift his head, and what they saw surprised the occupants of the whole room. The eyes of their boss, were brown like honey, just as they remembered.
"Juudaime"
"Tsuna"
"Tsuna-nii"
"Bossu"
"Sawada"
Tsuna glanced at Reborn who was observing him and smiled before he lost consciousness.
"Tsuna-nii!" Lambo shouted in worried. Ryohei checked his pulse and other parts and confirm his health, "Nothing's wrong, he's just exhausted."
"It's the same as what happened when he tried to communicate. His brain hurts that if he ever tries to talk for to long, he'll break." Reborn stated to everyone.
"Juudaime" Gokudera stated in silent worry before turning to their Rain, "Yamamoto can you get a blanket for Juudaime?" It was said as a favor. He only used there names when it was necessary or sincere.
Yamamoto smiled and nodded. He got up and left the room.
"Now, we should decide what we are going to do. Just remember what Tsunayoshi said, we can't cheat and if we join we'll fight them fare and square." Mukuro chuckle, "This will be really interesting."
Yamamoto came back with a blanket and pillow.
"Here's a pillow, so he can be more comfortable." Yamamoto offered. Gokudera nodded as thanks and put it under Tsuna's head and wrap him with the blanket. Lambo stayed at Tsuna's side with Chrome.
Gokudera stood up and looked at everyone first then asked, "So who's in?"
Yamamoto faced Gokudera and smiled.
Ryohei bump both his fists together, saying he was ready for a fight anytime.
Chrome faced the Storm Guardian and firmly nodded.
Lambo faced Hayato-nii and smiled as he punched his right fist into his hand proudly.
Mukuro smirked.
Hibari just 'hn'.
Gokudera nodded in acceptance.
Byakuran was interested as to what would happen in the near future, 'Maybe I'll come and watch the battles, The Battle of the Vongola heir's Candidates.'
Reborn smirked. He could feel things would get even more interesting soon. He was glad to come along for the ride.
'I wonder what will you do Baka Yuji? From what I can see, no one can stop these people.'
I do not own Katekyo Hitman Reborn and this story belongs to seventhassaain
