Track 4. Where is your God?

Lambo was humming. That itself wouldn't warrant a sentence status if it wasn't weird. Oh, I should mention that Gokudera was giggling at this. And both of them were swinging in circles.

Okay, that makes it seem weird, lets start at the beginning. It had been a raid on the side branch of the Vongola while the two had been on a routine inspection. One hundred men armed to the teeth had rushed out of the early morning German fog and taken the two hostage while killing everyone else they saw.

The duo found themselves in what looked like an abandoned warehouse hanging about three feet off the ground by a hook set in the rope that bound their hands together. Their "interrogator" I use the word loosely, was a portly young man who looked more nervous than the last guys to try to date Tsuna (refer to the previous chapter). It probably didn't help that the two guardians were constantly joking around and generally humiliating him.

Lambo grumbled at their jumpy little captor "Hey! Get over here and undo this rope so I can get some of my candy…"

A thin man walked in and pushed the "interrogator" out and stabbed Hayato in the leg before hitting Lambo with a baseball bat in the stomach hard enough that Lambo puked onto the ground. The thin man laughed and grinned "so, Vongola guardians…what a joke" he spat and hit them again.

Hayato growled "this all ya got? I've been hit harder by a two year old"…there was not need to tell the guy that the two year old in question was Reborn.

After a through beating the new interrogator hissed between pants "So…where is you boss now, where is your god, eh?"

Lambo twirled in a circle "Hmmmm, my god….my god lives in heaven."

Hayato's head shot up "You still believe that junk?"

Lambo defiantly lifted his head "Yes, and I go to mass every Sunday!"

Hayato stared "you're in the Mafia, have killed people and you still go to church every damn week?"

Lambo swung back and forth "just cause my life's dirty doesn't mean I can't try to clean it!"

The Storm shrugged "eh, got a point there" the other men walked out leaving the duo alone.

Lambo managed to stop twirling "Bakadera, you don't believe in god?"

He shook his head "No, I mean c'mon, if he did would we have gone through half the crap we did? The deaths, the lost friends, the loneliness? His silence speaks loud and clear…"

The Lightning groaned "But we're still here and you can't tell me that you haven't been more appreciative of everyone when you got back from those near death experiences!"

Storm shrugged "Got me again…when did you get so smart?"

Lambo snickered "Since you got your ear twisted for blowing up those guys from the boss meeting!"

Then they both growled at the mention of them. Those men who wanted to taint their boss…of course, they knew Tsuna wasn't of that persuasion, but did those idiots listen? Nooooo, they just had to try to seduce him. And that was unforgivable.

After a few more beatings Lambo asked a question "D-do you think they'll find us?" the youngest of the group ached and hurt more than he had in a long while. He just wanted his brother there to make it go away.

Hayato scoffed "of course they will! Who do you think will be the first one in here, eh?"

"…T-Tsuna-nii…"

"alright then, there you have it."

A moment more of silence filled the room before Lambo spoke "Gokudera?" a grunt "You say you don't believe in god…but then what is Tsuna-nii?"

Hayato was silent as he hung there, perhaps it was the fact that he was a prisoner, maybe it was because he had spent so much of his life alone but his answer wasn't what even he himself expected "…I think that Juudaime may be a god…he'd certainly make a great one"

Their captor (the skinny one) walked back in "Guess what boys?" Hayato didn't answer but kicked the idiot in the head. He got up and clenched his bloody nose "You're gonna pay for that boy!" and he punched the attacker in the stomach. The white haired boy coughed as a small trail of blood fell from his lips. The interrogator took a few steps back "Me and my boys here are going to turn you into dog chow! See how you like that!"

A sudden keening sound filled the air and their captors rushed out to meet their opponents. Gunfire rocked the thin walls of the building and as more and more time went by the less and less confident the two guardians became. The gunfire was dying down and yet no one had even called for them. Storm saw how lightning's eyes fell and crumpled before whispering "Just like that alley"

"Yeah, just like that alley" Lambo's tear filled eyes stared at the silverett in horror "You though you were a goner but Juudaime showed up at the last minute and crushed them all!"

The skinny asshole that had beaten them ran in looking scared and held his arm as a bit of blood seeped through his shirt, he cut down the ropes holding the two up and pulled Lambo roughly to his feet and held a gun to the younger's head "If you move I'll blow your brains all over this building, I have another hostage!"

The Vongola men burst into the room and Hayato realized that it was a stand off, Chrome and Yamamoto stared at the man with a group of guards until Chrome spoke "Put him down, and we won't hurt you. We only want the two that you have" she was very calm and steady, a negotiator if there ever was one.

He was about to squeeze the trigger when the ceiling collapsed to reveal Tsuna very angry. He floated down and hugged the duo and took them to the ambulance.

As they sat in the room alone Lambo leaned over "Hayato, I have to agree, if Tsuna was a god he'd be a good one, but first I have to think that he was sent by god"

Hayato 'hmmm'ed the point, maybe the shrimp had something.
