Another Me

Chapter 4

Guns and Bullets Ablaze

"Bloody Rabbit? I think I've heard that name somewhere before..." Hayato's opened his mouth in shock but no word came out. For once he was speechless in awe.

All Chains more often than not were human sized fairies with different types of wings or no wings at all. That is until they have a contract between themselves and a human. Once that had happened certain changes would affect the Chain. Seals upon seals would be placed on the Chain. This was to prevent the contractor from not being able to use the Chain's power without synchronised more with their Chain.

The Abyss was where the Chains lived, aimlessly wandering and forever fighting each other. In their world, they had a status system.

Within each rank there was three tiers, low, median and high.

Civil were the most peaceful Chains. They were the weakest in terms of power but the greatest in number and therefore the most common. If they had a contractor the very best they could do was boost their contractor's ability.

Soldier were the most 'active' Chains. They were stronger than the Civil, slightly less in number than the Civil. They could also boost the contractor's ability, however, the Soldier and above Chains could can their forms. Imitating an animal that reflected them. At this level, the Chain would have some techniques that would kill the enermy.

Knight was more harder to find than Soldier. The control over their power is what makes this Rank a large leap and so much harder to find.

Master, this Rank was no different from Knight, only that they are more better in every sense.

The ranking for the Elite was a little different from the other sections; the tier difference in strength and power were huge. This rank was so rare, only 16 were ever recorded.

Despite these ranking, they are only an outline of how strong a Chain really was when they were first created in the abyss. With a contractor, it was possible for a Chain to become more powerful. Most of the time, the Chains became less stronger until they were finally at the Civil level.

Another strange thing about chains were that if one was strong enough or the other let another see, in every chain there was a coloured lock. There were 7 different attributes with a colour to indicate which kind they were.

Bloody Rabbit had 'orange' which was the rarest and most dangerous if trained. Orange's most noticeable characteristic was harmony.

Hayato felt and extremely cold breeze glaze his exposed skin. Bloody Rabbit. Natsu was a high ranking chain in middle section. He was known for his over confident attitude and mischievous behavior on the female masters - Old or young, it didn't matter and they were all charmed. Although all of this, the Bloody Rabbit would only run away from his predictors and recruiters and trouble. No one is sure of the reasons why but no had ever bothered to ask.

"I'm tired from working, so I'm going to return to my world and recharge. Take care of my master." Natsu purred sheepishly and laid back down onto the bed. "Ciao."

As soon as Tsuna's head landed onto the pillow his featured turned a soft peaceful expression; like a sleeping baby but ridged like the dead. A few seconds later Tsuna stirred and wearily opened his brown eyes and groggily tired to sit up but failed. Tsuna felt pain burn his nerves in his shoulder; he fell back down onto the bed roughly. He bit on his lips hard and restored to gritting his teeth when he tasted the thick bitter substance run from his punctured wound.

Hayato came into Tsuna's fading vision.

"Go-gokudera..." Tsuna shuttered out with a relieved quite tone.

Tsuna closed his eyes and passed out from exhaustion. Hayato sighed to himself and pulled back the curtain to see that there was no blood on the floor and no screwed up carcass. The only evidence of any violence was the dried blood stained curtain, melted remains of large scissor and a broken window with it's glass shards on the floor, but they were also melted and cooling into small blobs.

"What the...?" Something clicked in Hayato's head and mumbled to himself. "Natsu, the bloody rabbit. So that's what he meant by work."

Hayato understood that being summoned from the abyss for the first time was tiring and very out of place. He was excited and wondered nervously, that meant that Tsuna's chain was extremely powerful; Natsu was able to force his way out of the abyss by his own power, take over Tsuna and heal his master's wound and burn away the evidence with such control.

One thing confused him to no end, from what he knew of Tsuna was that he was caring, 'no-good' and... possibility gay... And a chain normally reflected the contractor's heart no matter how powerful they were. Tsuna was not over confident nor very social and a giant perverted flirt. However, there was two thing they had in common. They ran away from their problems and cared deeply.

Hayato glanced at Tsuna and sighed. The siren echoed throughout the school, the scuffle of chairs and tables were distant. The infirmary door smashed open and there stood G in all his smock hazed glory. G stared at Gokudera questionably with a raised eye brow. Giotto followed in after his best friend and mirrored G's expression. The others were not present. Giotto shut the door behind him and sharply analyse the scene.

"The hell-"

G shoved Giotto to the side; a hole the size of a pocket size Vaseline container was where Giotto's head was mere seconds, before a very powerful gun and small bullet embedding itself into the reinforced floor.

A tall man with black hair appeared suddenly and crouched on the ledge of the windowsill. His black hat was tilted down slightly; it created a dark shadow over his eyes, but it could not mask the intensity of the light that gleamed off the narrow vault black eyes.

He smirked and landed onto the floor with feline grace. The long black and green sniper riffle in his hand morphed into a green chameleon and rested comfortably onto the black hat. The man spoke with a deep and alluring voice.

"How... annoying."
