Chapter 7: Trouble Magnet
Tsuna stared fearfully at the people who stared at him right back. Why didn't I figure out that this was Xanxus and his council members? Curse my idiocy! Tsuna whined in his head, almost crying. Then he remembered something vital; he was supposed to run away! Edging slightly and slowly, Tsuna tried his best to escape unnoticeably, if not for the fact a gun suddenly was in front of him. Hieee! Gokudera-kun! Yamamoto-kun! Help me, please! Tsuna cried in his head when he noticed it was Xanxus that was pointing the gun to his head.
"Don't even try to get away, trash," Xanxus growled, his face was set into a scowl. He had noticed the discreet way the boy was trying to run away, and he didn't like it one bit. His red eyes glared holes into the boy's being as his gun was placed in front of the now trembling boy.
Tsuna squirmed in his place, his being filled with dread and more fear as he thought, You're already frightening, why do you need a gun at that? He scooted back, trying to avoid the gun that didn't waver from its place. Tsuna wondered if the scarred teen was serious about shooting him. Tsuna really didn't want to know.
Tsuna flinched when the bruise on his chin acted up and immediately cradled it, as his other free hand grabbed the ice pack. His intention was to press the ice pack against his chin when he remembered the reason he got the ice pack in the first place. His brown eyes wildly searched for someone and spotted a long haired loud-mouth.
Squalo was cradling his head when an ice pack was handed to him by the small brunet that tended to him earlier. He stared at the ice pack then at the brunet before staring at the ice pack once more. Hesitantly, the long haired Vice-President accepted the ice pack and pressed it on his head slowly. He hissed and flinched slightly at the initial touch of coldness on his throbbing injury but relaxed when his senses accepted the coldness. Once Squalo turned to the small brunet, he noticed a red mark on the boy's chin. Did I do that? Damn, I didn't think the hit was that hard… Squalo thought as he stared at the angry, red injury.
Lussuria and the other Varia members watched the scene before them and Xanxus scowled in disgust. Belphegor suddenly laughed, stating a comment about Squalo, "Ushishishishi… The idiotic shark must be going soft if he's accepting a help from a weakling… Ushishishi…"
Squalo's right eye twitched at the comment from the human version of the Cheshire cat. He abruptly got up on his two feet, growling murderously at the tiara-wearing blond. "Bel, you bastard… VOOIII! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU, YOU BASTARD PRINCESS!"
Belphegor glared at the Vice-President, very pissed off by Squalo's insult. He brought out his knives as they glinted underneath the sun and the blond grinned widely, "The Prince has decided to award your death by killing you himself. You should be crying and bowing at the Prince in joy, you small and insignificant fish."
Both Squalo and Belphegor emitted deadly auras that made Tsuna wanted to run away immediately, but with Xanxus' gun still not moving from its position in front of his forehead, and with the green haired indifferent boy sitting next to him which lead to his only escape route, Tsuna had no choice but to stay put. The brunet wallowed in self-pity and he sighed inaudibly on the outside.
Lussuria crouched down to the brunet's level, sending the boy a smile, as not to make the boy think he was a threat. "Ano… I'm Lussuria, this is Leviathan; but you can just call him Levi, the boy beside you is Fran, this is our teacher Viper or mostly known as Mammon, the two fighting over there is Belphegor; the one with the tiara and the one with the sword is Squalo. And last but not least, Xanxus," Lussuria introduced with a smile as he pointed to the respective people.
Tsuna couldn't make out what was currently happening to him but his intuition told him it wasn't a pleasant meeting with them. He couldn't help but feel the more he meets people like these; he could get into some serious troubles. Tsuna tried to search for his two friends frantically, feeling the fear in his chest rising to an unbearable level.
Xanxus turned to the trembling brunet, noticing that the boy was frantically searching for something, or perhaps someone. While the others watched Squalo's and Belphegor's duel, the red eyed scarred leader crouched down to the same level as Tsuna who looked at him straight in the eye in fear. He had to hand it to the kid; even though he was scared, he still has the guts to look at him in the eyes. "So, exactly what did you do to make those trashes succumb to you?" Xanxus questioned, the gun in his hands did not waver.
Tsuna tilted his head to the side, completely confused, Trash? Who…?
Xanxus noticing how the brunet was confused, sighed inwardly as he growled dangerously on the outside, the gun in his hand dropped, "That Gokudera and Yamamoto trash! How did you get them to succumb to you?"
Tsuna frowned as he reached his pencil and sketchbook and wrote in it. The brunet glared at the scarred Varia President with unwavering hostility.
Those two aren't trash. They're my friends so please do not badmouth them. If you do it again, I will not hesitate on attacking you.
Xanxus blinked before grinning and emitted a bark of laughter that caught his fellow council members' attention as they all turned to their leader. Xanxus grin was feral, showing off his canine teeth as he stood up. "You're an interesting scum, I'll give you that! It'll be fun to destroy you." As the black haired teen stood up with the rest of his members, he saw Tsuna shuddering in fear. In return, the scarred President's grin widened.
Tsuna couldn't help but shudder at the threat as he tried to distance himself from the Varia Council. Xanxus had told him he had wanted to destroy him; that wasn't good for anyone. He watched as the Varia members walked towards the court as the referee called out to them, saying that their match was up. Tsuna trembled when he remembered Xanxus' words; It'll be fun to destroy you.
As Xanxus got on the court, with obvious intention of not playing, he smirked at Gokudera who stood at his side of the court lazily. Xanxus smirk was dangerous and Gokudera didn't like it one bit. The silver haired bomber grew wary when the scarred President opened his mouth to say something.
"Your little friend, Sawada Tsunayoshi is a complete scum. I'll destroy him; it would be something interesting to pass the time," Xanxus said darkly, his smirk widening.
Gokudera's blood boiled and the bomber yelled out, "I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU, YOU BASTARD!"
Mukuro's smile twitched as he stared at the teen in front of him with heterochromatic eyes filled with hostility and hatred. He never liked the person in front of him and he wasn't going to start now. He loathed the person opposite from him as he watched that fox-like smiled appeared on his enemy's face. Byakuran was certainly annoying to a degree where Mukuro wanted to skin the marshmallow-loving President alive and feed his organs to the shark, gauge out those purple eyes, slice out that tongue and give the remnants of Byakuran to some vicious dogs.
Byakuran didn't enjoy Mukuro's presence much and he knew the feeling was mutual. To him, Mukuro was an annoyance that need to disappear permanently; he was just a speck of dust underneath his shoes –not worth his time at all. Though he needed to be cautious of the Kokuyo Council President; Mukuro was not someone that could be disposed of easily. He was cunning, just like Byakuran himself and Mukuro was an excellent illusionist. Handling Mukuro would sometimes feel like he was walking on thin ice; he needed to do things slowly and carefully.
Byakuran smiled slyly as he hit the volleyball to Mukuro's side of the court and asked, "Ne Muku-chan, where were you last night? Kokuyo seemed to have disappeared suddenly."
Mukuro only smirked as he return Byakuran's hit with his own and answered the white haired boy's query, "Our sensei decided to treat us to a very delicious meal last night. Unfortunately, due to the fact we almost drove him to bankruptcy, after this trip is over, the Kokuyo students will have to clean the toilets for three months. Well, except me of course. I'll just make someone else do it in my place."
Byakuran giggled as he watched Kikyo returning Mukuro's attack while saying, "Uwaaa… You're so cruel, Muku-chan. How will you ever get a wife if you keep acting like that?"
Mukuro smirked as he noticed Ken slapping the ball hard to the Millefiore's side of the court, earning a point for their team. "I'll find one either way. No need to worry your petty little head about me," Mukuro responded.
"Hardly," Byakuran giggled out. Suddenly, he and the rest stopped playing when they heard Gokudera yelled. All of them, including the Kokuyo students turned to the Varia vs. Namimori court and saw Gokudera unleashing a deadly aura as he glared viciously at Xanxus.
"I wonder what Xanxus-san had done wrong this time," Chikusa muttered as he fixed the position of his glasses indifferently. Ken nodded slowly in agreement as he watched the prissy bomber yelling out all the known profanities in every language the bomber knew to the scarred Varia President.
"Kufufufu, that mutt has become a prissy cat once more. Perhaps their fight concerns that Sawada Tsunayoshi the lapdog respects so much," Mukuro guessed and the name got Byakuran's attention immediately.
"Ne Muku-chan, you missed something grand last night," Byakuran giddily said as he neared the blue haired boy. He couldn't wait to tell Mukuro about the newfound information on Tsunayoshi-kun.
"Oya? You seem excited. What is it?" Mukuro asked as he turned to Byakuran. Byakuran hardly showed any genuine interest but once he did, it was certainly amusing.
"The Head cook told us Millefiore council members that Sawada Tsunayoshi-kun could be a perfect housewife. What do you think about that?" Byakuran smiled his fox-like smile. He wanted to see Mukuro's reaction eagerly.
Mukuro's eyes widened slightly but it reverted to its previous state as fast as it appeared. "Kufufufu… Interesting; I must see him for myself," Mukuro said softly as he walked away from Byakuran, ignoring the white haired boy's displeased pout.
Byakuran sighed as he thought, I really wanted to see Muku-chan's hilarious reaction to my news… I thought he would be so shocked about it. Oh, no matter. I still have to see Tsunayoshi-kun as my subject of interest.
Once he spotted the Head chef not far away, he ushered Bluebell to follow him and the two of them demanded some cakes, while Shoichi reprimanded them for eating too many sweets.
Tsuna was still shaken up by Xanxus' words but was brought out of his train of thoughts when a familiar man neared him. His eyes widened in shock at the sight of him.
"Ciaossu," Reborn greeted deeply, clad in his suit and orange dress shirt as well as a fedora and black loafers. Even on the beach, Reborn did not cease to wear his suit even though the temperature was boiling hot. "What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be playing with them?" Reborn inquired with an amused smirk.
Tsuna glared at him and Reborn tried his best to hold his laughter and asked, "What are you doing?"
Tsuna's eyes widened in bewilderment as he then quickly scribbled in his sketchbook and shoved it to the Mathematics teacher. He couldn't believe the man would ask that type of question; wasn't it obvious?
Reborn looked down at the sketchbook and read the written words and soon enough, he was having a hard time containing his laughter. How could the kid be so dense? Reborn thought.
I'm glaring. Can you not see it, sensei?
Your glare looks more like a pout, Reborn said inwardly to himself as he handed the sketchbook back to the brunet. He smirked when the brunet refused to look at him as the boy pouted even more. "You've got guts, talking back to me yesterday," Reborn brought up nonchalantly, turning his head to the match in front of him while discreetly glancing at Tsuna from the corner of his eye.
Tsuna froze at the reminder and felt his breath becoming heavy. He remembered! Hiee! What should I do? What should I do? Tsuna panicked inwardly, wildly trying to find an excuse to escape the sadistic teacher's gaze.
Reborn smirked when he saw the obvious terror and panic that were shining in the boy's brown orbs. "Well? What do you have to say for yourself, Dame-Tsuna?" Reborn asked with a voice that had a tint of amusement. He didn't know what would happen if he called the boy by his infamous nickname but Reborn was anxious to find out.
Tsuna once again froze, but this time he had done the action due to a very familiar yet unwelcomed nickname uttered by the man besides him. Tsuna's eyes darkened before he turned his head away from the older men, not wanting to look at Reborn no longer. Even though Tsuna was supposed to hate Reborn for calling him in such a traumatic nickname, he felt that the man didn't actually insult him. Moreover, it felt like the man was calling him by that name in a sarcastic, teasing way; he really didn't mean it.
Reborn sighed when he saw the boy turned away but took notice the sketchbook the boy pushed through the sand and towards him. He looked down and felt himself smirk in amusement once again.
Sorry for talking back to you, sensei.
Reborn smirked lightly before his expression changed in mere seconds. He had one thing on his mind; how did Sawada Tsunayoshi gained Yamamoto and Gokudera's friendship? Turning to the boy, Reborn decided to voice out his question, "So, how did you get Gokudera and Yamamoto to be your friends?" Reborn watched as the brunet blinked slowly before he wrote on his sketchbook.
Tsuna couldn't make out the question that was given to him by Reborn and could only blink before he answered by writing the short story down on his sketchbook. He sighed inwardly; what a waste of quality art paper. He gave the book to the black haired teacher who accepted silently and Tsuna watched Reborn from the corner of his eye, awaiting the Spartan teacher's reaction.
I convinced Yamamoto-kun to not commit suicide and I helped Gokudera-kun when he was almost stabbed by a man. It's nothing, really; it can't even be considered as a heroic deed. I merely helped because I wanted to –I never asked for their friendship. They just declared it themselves but I'm not complaining. In fact, I'm grateful to have befriended them.
Reborn mulled over the words that were written neatly. Considering the fact that the boy was the lowest boy in their school, it was a surprise that he could write so neatly. Well, it's not that surprising, considering the fact he communicated with people by writing his answer and questions, Reborn thought logically. Couldn't be considered as a heroic deed? The kid was certainly amusing as Reborn handed back the sketchbook.
"Dame-Tsuna, you're going to run on the beach fifty times and run into the water and back again a hundred times; consider it as your punishment for your backtalk, my idiotic student," Reborn grinned sadistically when he noticed Tsuna's face lost all colors. "Well? What are you waiting for? Get to it, Dame-Tsuna or I'll shoot you," Reborn said and to prove his point, he pulled out a gun from his holster on his belt.
Shooting a bullet that passed beside Tsuna by a mere centimeter, the taller male smirked in satisfaction when he saw the boy gathered up his things and ran away frantically. "Don't think you can get away! Once I'll find you, your punishment will be tripled!" Reborn yelled out at the running brunet before muttering an afterthought, "… Or perhaps I should multiply it by fifty and add some traps along with swinging axes, poisonous arrows, bombs and protruding swords…" The fedora wearing teacher smirked, "Yes, that could work perfectly for Dame-Tsuna."
Once Tsuna had heard Reborn's punishment for him, he ran away as quick as he can, wanting so badly to escape the sadistic teacher. He had a feeling Reborn wouldn't let him go this easily; he had heard the man muttering to himself about multiplying his punishment by fifty times with additional dangerous courses. Gokudera-kun wasn't kidding when he said Reborn is a Spartan sadist, Tsuna thought to himself, clutching his book and stationeries to his chest tightly. He swore his heart almost stopped beating when the man almost shot him; damn that sadistic fedora wearing man!
He stopped under a coconut tree to catch his breath then looked up when he heard someone calling out his name. He came across Furiko-san who had pleaded for his help in the kitchen. "Byakuran-san from the Millefiore council requested a dozen cakes but unfortunately, all of the employees are quite busy today. Could you be a dear and help us?" Furiko asked Tsuna gently.
Tsuna was truly tired and didn't want to do anything at all, but one look at the elderly woman, Tsuna couldn't help but surrender. Besides, his mother taught him to never refuse a lady when she needed help. The brunet nodded with a small, exasperated smile as he let himself being led to the kitchen by Furiko who thanked him.
"I swear, young girls these days should really look up to you. You could be a role model for them," Furiko joked as she walked with Tsuna, side by side.
Tsuna huffed in exasperated amusement, keeping quiet and decided not to make a comeback to the elderly woman.
Ken was currently dragging both Chikusa and Chrome towards the kitchen to steal some food. Their match with Byakuran's team was over, with the two of them tied. They had overheard Bluebell and Byakuran asking the head chef to make them a dozen cakes, so Ken, being the mischievous sweet loving teen he is, decided to steal some of them. He had dragged Kaki-pi with him along with the girl that clings to Mukuro-san. Ken disliked the girl because the girl was always with Mukuro-san everywhere the Kokuyo President go but he couldn't go against her and he now viewed the girl as if she was a younger sister to him. Though he would never express those thoughts aloud and it would forever remain in his head.
"Plan: Steal Some Cake is commenced, pyon!" Ken howled as he ran towards the kitchen with Chrome and Chikusa behind him.
"This is so troublesome," Chikusa muttered underneath his breath, as he followed slowly and silently behind the running Ken. He was tempted to put a leash on the dog-boy for doing this type of things. If only Ken wasn't so animalistic, that would be easy, Chikusa thought with an inaudible sigh.
Chrome was very worried; worried about getting caught, worried that they would trouble Mukuro-sama, worried that they would be punished, about everything. What if they were kicked out of this onsen along with the other Kokuyo students? The thought didn't bode well for the first year female so she decided to try and keep Ken under control for Mukuro-sama.
Once the three of them arrived at the kitchen, Ken silently opened the door and sneakily entered the room, pulling along Chikusa, who in turn, pulled Chrome as well. They all walked silently, not making a sound, eyes wildly surveying the unusually quiet and empty kitchen, all with different intentions; Ken was searching for cakes, Chikusa was searching for anything suspicious and openings to escape, Chrome wanted to make sure that no one could catch them stealing things in the kitchen.
Ken barked in delight when he saw another room inside the kitchen labeled 'Pastry Room'. "Over here! Hurry up, pyon!" Ken giddily sneaked towards the room and entered it slowly, once he surveyed the room to make sure no one was in there. "There it is, pyon!" Ken whispered happily as his eyes shone in mischief and happiness when he saw the delicious cakes on the table.
The three Kokuyo students sneaked in, careful not to make any sound. Ken neared the cakes and tried to reach for one of them, Chrome stopped him.
"Ken, we shouldn't be doing this! Mukuro-sama would be enraged! Please stop," Chrome reprimanded the blond boy softly as she watched the older boy by two years ignored her.
"Hmph! Why should I listen to you, pyon? Just leave me alone so I could steal these cakes," Ken responded angrily before continue to reach the cake yet again but this time, he was stopped by Chikusa.
Chikusa sighed almost inaudibly, and said, "Ken, stop this nonsense. We need to go already. Forget about the cakes." But his words didn't budge Ken from the wild boy's initial mission.
"Don't want to, pyon!" Ken defied before making a third attempt for the cakes. The sound of a door being opened froze all three of them, making them turn their heads to the source of the sound.
There, standing in the doorway was a small brunet, holding a mixing bowl and a whisk. The whisk was covered with, what it looked like, vanilla frosting. At one side of the bowl, the frosting was flowing down from the rim of the bowl. The boy blinked at them before nearing the three, tilting his head in question.
When Tsuna tilted his head, he had meant to ask that why there were three Kokuyo students in the Pastry room and why was one of them tried was trying to grab for the cake he had set on the table. He had finished ten batches of cake and was going to frost his eleventh until he caught the three in action when he came back from gaining more frosting. When the brunet noticed the three of them looking equally confused as he was, he sighed inwardly. Spotting a bottle of chocolate syrup, he grabbed it and began to write on the three layered cake he was planning to frost.
Why are you doing here and who are you?
Chikusa immediately answered, "We're students from Kokuyo. I'm Kakimoto Chikusa. This girl is Chrome Dokuro and this mutt is Joshima Ken. As for your first question, Ken decided to steal some cakes and dragged both Chrome and I with him."
Chrome immediately panicked; she didn't want them to get in trouble. What if the boy in front of them reports them to their teacher? "W-We were just leaving! W-We didn't want to st-steal any of your c-cakes!" Chrome cried out, waving her hands at the brunet. Her eyes were teary as she hoped for the best.
Tsuna blinked twice, not knowing what to do. In any other circumstances, he would've report this to Furiko-san and the woman would immediately tell on the Kokuyo's teacher. Tsuna silently frosted the cake, still feeling that the three hadn't left yet. They're waiting to get their punishment… Maybe I should just… Tsuna trailed off as he finished frosting the cake. Turning to the three, Tsuna waved them off with a small smile and watched in humor when the three blinked.
He's… letting us go so easily? Why? Chikusa thought in confusion as he watched the brunet continue to place sliced strawberries and cherries on the cake. The boy then grabbed an icing bag and began making decorations on the cake. Chikusa shuffled slowly before turning fully to the door, silently grateful for the boy for releasing them. "Chrome, Ken, let's go. Mukuro-san is probably waiting," Chikusa said softly before walking towards the door they had entered from.
Chrome bit her bottom lip as she looked back at the busy brunet. Bowing lowly, the girl muttered, "Thank you," softly before dragging Ken away with her. Before the three could fully exit the room with a loud Ken complaining, "Mou! Let me just steal one cake, pyon! That's all, pyon," a sudden tug at Chrome's sleeve made the girl stopped. Chikusa, having to notice his fellow council member suddenly halt, stopped as well as he turned to see the source which made Chrome paused.
A delectable looking cake was presented to them, with the words, 'Itadakimasu' written on the center of the cake, surrounded with berries of all kinds. Tsuna smiled at them, motioning them to take the cake. He saw Ken's pouting face and pitied the boy immensely.
"Y-You're letting us have this?" Chrome stuttered out, surprised at the brunet's kindness. She had never met anyone like the boy in front of her; her life wasn't all that good. Having a parent and a step-parent that could care less about you was painful especially during a life-or-death situation. The two parents would always fight in front of her ward and Chrome would always frown at it. Before she met Mukuro-sama, Chrome was simply known as Nagi; a sick little girl that didn't have any intestines due to an accident. Though thanks to a meeting with Mukuro, she finally had someone to call 'family' but never has she met a stranger being so nice and polite to complete strangers like her and her friends, even after they told him that their friend was trying to steal. She was thankful to Kami-sama, for sending down this angel that seemed to have unlimited kindness in him.
Tsuna nodded as he placed the cake on Chrome's accepting hands, before taking a step back and motioning them to go. He didn't feel any regret and when he saw Ken's excited face, he couldn't help but smile brightly at the three Kokuyo students. He didn't notice how the three Kokuyo students froze in awe at his smile.
Ken could almost pounce on the brunet in front of him for giving them the cake. It looked so delicious! The blond then scowled after he howled in pain after Kaki-pi hit him on the head. He turned to his indifferent friend with a frown, "What the hell, Kaki-pi? Why did you do that, pyon?"
Chikusa merely pushed his glasses further up the bridge of his nose as he stared at Ken blankly before saying, "Ken, don't you think you should be saying something to this boy?"
Ken pouted before shyly turning to Tsuna and stuttered out embarrassingly, "T-Thanks, pyon…"
Tsuna only smiled as ushered them out, not wanting them to get caught by one of the employees. As he accompanied them out of the kitchen, he was slightly shocked when Chikusa turned to him and asked boldly, "What's your name and which school do you go? You're far too young to be one of the employees here."
Tsuna blinked at Chikusa's sudden question. This boy is very smart, Tsuna thought as he surveyed the room for something to write on. When he spotted a tray of unused chocolate sauce not far away, he grabbed the tray and wrote on it, scraping off the melted chocolate with his finger before showing it to Chikusa.
Sawada Tsunayoshi. Namimori High School, first year student of class 1-A.
Chikusa nodded, a bit surprised by the recognizable name. Wasn't this boy the one who 'tamed' Gokudera Hayato and Yamamoto Takeshi? It was amusing to see this boy so frail and weak, though the Kokuyo student might know the reason as to why the two famous first year duo respected the boy. It wasn't everyday that you see a kind-hearted soul in this cruel world that they all lived in.
The three Kokuyo students took their leave right after Chrome thanked Tsuna for the cake. Ken was ecstatic as he jumped happily at the 'treasure' they had gotten. The blond barked, "I can't wait to show Mukuro-san about this, pyon!"
Tsuna laughed inwardly at Ken's obvious excitement before entering back into the kitchen, needing to make the cakes for the Millefiore council. How many cakes does a council need anyway? They could get diabetes at this rate, Tsuna thought tiredly, as he whipped up another batch and poured some batter into a cake pan.
Gokudera panted as he glared fiercely at Xanxus who hasn't even broken a sweat. This somehow made Gokudera even more pissed off than before. A ball went his way and the silver haired teen punched it to the other side, aiming at Xanxus. The bomber then cursed when Levi managed to return the hit by getting in between Xanxus and the ball.
"Oi, bastard! Don't get in the fucking way!" Gokudera growled at Levi who merely sent him a haughty smirk before tending to his President. Gokudera's eye twitched in annoyance before he unleashed an ominous aura that had half of the students who watched their match run for their lives. "I'm going to fucking kill you…" Gokudera said darkly, pulling out his bombs from the pockets of his swimming trunks.
Dino began to panic as he neared to furious bomber and tried to stop Gokudera from trying to kill all of them. "Gokudera, I don't know what Xanxus did to you to make you so pissed off but don't you think you're overreacting?" Dino said with a strained smile as the blond tried to snatch the explosives from Gokudera's hands as the silver haired delinquent tried to push the blond away.
"Get the fuck away from me, Bronco! I'm going to blow that bastard to pieces for planning to destroy Juudaime!" Gokudera snarled out as he tried to throw his still unlit explosives at the scarred Varia President.
Xanxus merely smirked and this fueled Gokudera's anger even more. The Varia President enjoyed the fight that was presented to him by the clumsy Bronco and the temperamental trash. It was amusing to see the two arguing with one another. He wasn't joking when he said he wanted to destroy the boy, but there was that undeniable fact that Sawada Tsunayoshi was a very cute individual. When he held that gun to the boy's forehead, he had thought briefly; Could I shoot him? Xanxus realized he couldn't pull the trigger and it bothered him deeply.
The scarred Varia President was brought out of his train of thoughts when Gokudera once more tried to throw a stick of dynamite but was stopped by both Dino and Yamamoto. Xanxus smirked, "Is that all you can do, scum?"
A vein mark appeared on Gokudera's forehead before the delinquent broke through his human restraints and once more tried to destroy Xanxus. Gokudera growled, "I'm going to fucking kill you, you fucking bastard!"
Dino turned to Xanxus with pleading eyes and thought, Don't encourage him, Xanxus!
Xanxus grinned as he responded, "I like to see you try, scum."
Dino banged his forehead on an imaginary tree in his mind, Damn you, Xanxus!
Lambo and Fuuta sat under a coconut tree with Lambo holding up a pair of binoculars to his eyes and surveyed the beach. "I don't see him anywhere, Fuuta," Lambo said lazily, tired of searching for the 'onii-san' he had crashed into yesterday.
"Well, keep looking Lambo-kun. We need to find him," Fuuta said as he surveyed the beach as well.
The activities set between Vongola University and Namimori Middle School had just ended and Fuuta had dragged Lambo with him to search for Sawada Tsunayoshi. Lambo at first tried his best not to join Fuuta and escape but at the sheer reminder of a deadly Gokudera feared him that Lambo had ultimately agreed to his friend's idea.
So, both of them decided to stay under the coconut tree to rest underneath the shade that the tree offered as they searched for the teen they wanted to apologize to. They had been doing so for about fifteen minutes until Lambo's older brother, Lampo walked towards them in lazy steps.
"What are you both doing?" the green haired Bovino heir asked his brother and his friend. It was odd for him to see Lambo work hard for something; the younger Bovino was as lazy as his big brother anyways. So, what had drove Lambo to search for something or someone on the beach?
"Yare, yare, we're trying to find Sawada Tsunayoshi; the person I bumped into yesterday," Lambo said lazily as he dropped his hand the held his binoculars to turn to his older brother.
Lampo hummed before plopping down next to his brother with the intention of trying to fall asleep. He was tired fighting with G all the time and was also tired of handling Daemon as well.
"What are you doing?" Lambo asked his older brother as he envied the green haired young man.
"Trying to sleep," Lampo answered as he tried to get comfortable on the sand though it was slightly difficult to do so because of the grains of sand underneath him.
Lambo sulked at this; how come his brother could sleep while he can't? Sending a glance at Fuuta who was busy searching for Tsunayoshi, Lambo then decided to take a break and rested beside his brother.
Fuuta turned to tell Lambo that their search was fruitless but at the sight of his black haired friend sleeping, got Fuuta a bit upset. "Mou, Lambo-kun! We're supposed to search for Tsunayoshi-nii! Don't fall asleep now!" Fuuta whined as he tried to wake up his friend by shaking the youngest Bovino.
Lambo only groaned as he let himself being handled roughly by his best friend. "Stop that, Fuuta," Lambo whined pathetically, swinging his arm around to stop his friend. He wanted to rest so badly; why can't Fuuta understand that?
Giotto, G, Yuni and I-Pin neared the three and looked down on them with arched eyebrows. "What's going on here?" Giotto asked, a bit curious as to why Fuuta was trying to wake Lambo up. They didn't have anything to do much after this.
"Ah, Lambo-kun and I was trying to search for Tsunayoshi-nii to apologize to him for yesterday's incident. But Lambo-kun's being lazy again," Fuuta responded before continuing to shake his friend to wake the black haired boy up.
I-Pin, not accepting this as well, helped Fuuta wake up the already sleeping Lambo. "Lambo-kun, wake up! You need to apologize to Tsunayoshi-nii! Hurry up!" the Chinese girl exclaimed, slightly angered by her friend's refusal.
Lambo just whined underneath his breath while Lampo twitched at the noises as he shifted his position in his sleep. "Can't I just get a tiny bit of rest?" Lambo asked childishly, cracking a green eye open.
"No!" Fuuta and I-Pin said simultaneously before continuing to get Lambo on his feet. Both of them worked hard but their lazy friend wouldn't budge at all from his position on the sand. Whines escaped Lambo's throat as he was pulled forcefully by his two friends.
"That kid… he's just the same as his damn brother," G said gruffly, turning to Lampo who was still asleep on the sand, snoring slightly. G oddly got pissed off at this and decided to grab Lampo by the collar of the green haired Bovino's shirt. "Oi, Lampo you stupid brat, wake up! We don't need you to laze around, brat!" G growled as he shook his friend roughly, not amused with Lampo's head lolling around lifelessly as if the young man's head was a doll's head.
Giotto merely laughed lightly at the sight in front of him, amused by all of it. Yuni stood quietly beside him, unperturbed by the familiar sight of her friends trying their best to get Lambo to wake up; it was a daily basis to see them do so. Giotto turned to Yuni, and asked, "Yuni, where's your mother and grandmother?"
Yuni blinked her eyes before looking up to the tall blond university student, "They're with their friends right now. They said that they'll be back to check on us."
Giotto nodded understandingly before laughing once more when G decided to slap their green haired friend in order to wake up the sleeping Lampo. "G, I don't think that's a good idea; you know that Lampo hates it when someone disturbs his nap," Giotto said with a sheepish smile, trying to separate his red haired temperamental friend from their lazy Bovino friend. No wonder Gokudera and Lambo act like this all the time; they got it from these two, Giotto thought exasperatedly as he ruffled his golden locks.
"Will you guys stop bothering us?" Lambo and Lampo whined simultaneously, not particularly delighted by the rough treatment that their friends were administering on them.
Tsuna sighed tiredly as he held the boxes filled with cakes for the Millefiore Council. Tsuna deduced that most of their members were actually sadists out to torture anyone and everyone. He couldn't help but wobbled slightly as he walked; trying to make sure the stacked boxes in his hands didn't fall off. He was deathly afraid of what would happen if the cakes would've been destroyed. It means more work for me, Tsuna grumbled inwardly as he wobbled towards the Millefiore Council's room.
He managed to slide the door open with difficulty due to the stacks of boxes he was holding. He couldn't look around properly, so he deduced that the room was empty due to the fact it was silent. Though it was empty, the room oddly smelt like green tea; having to live with a mother who had a fixation on tea left Tsuna to easily recognize the many different types of tea only by its smell. He, himself was a tea-lover as well.
Tsuna set down the boxes filled with the cakes he had baked carefully onto the long dining table in the middle of the room and made sure to examine all of it, making sure that none were damaged. He huffed in satisfaction, ultimately proud of his job well done.
"Hello," someone greeted casually and Tsuna jumped with a small squeak before turning around to see a blond male with green, almost teal, eyes. The male had an odd hairstyle as parts of his bangs were curled off to the side and a lollipop stick was hanging out from the corner of the blond's mouth.
Tsuna blinked slowly before bringing up his small hand to wave at the blond. Tsuna then dropped his hands and grabbed his sketchbook and pencil that was on top of one of the boxes he had brought in. He wrote on one of the pages of his book slowly before letting the blond read the contents.
Who are you?
The blond read the words slowly before answering the written question, "Spanner." He then sipped his green tea before pouring another cup and gave it to the brunet in front of him. "You?" Spanner asked curtly, blinking once as he sipped his green tea once more as he watched the boy accepted the green tea that was given to him.
Tsuna accepted the cup of tea that Spanner had given him and sat down in front of the blond. He wrote his answer on his sketchbook before showing it to the blond as Tsuna sipped his tea slowly, mindful of its hotness. He didn't want to burn his tongue, after all.
Sawada Tsunayoshi. I'm pleased to meet you.
"Ditto…" Spanner muttered curtly, once again sipping his green tea silently.
Tsuna was slightly uncomfortable by the stare from Spanner but was relatively okay by the silence that surrounded them. Tsuna slowly sipped his own cup of tea, after blowing a gust of air to cool the beverage. He blinked slowly before writing on his sketchbook. Pushing the sketchbook towards the blond in front of him, Tsuna let Spanner read his handwriting before pulling the book back into his arms.
Are you one of the members of the Millefiore Council?
Spanner only nodded in answer and Tsuna figured that the older male was not much of a talker. Both of them settled in a comfortable silence before Spanner voiced out, "Are you the one who made Byakuran's cake? Which school are you from?"
Tsuna stared at the blond before nodding slowly, quite surprised by the question directed to him. He wrote the answer to Spanner's second question on his book.
I'm from Namimori High School.
He watched Spanner nodded slightly. He then noticed that Spanner had been eyeing his sketchbook and tilted his head to the side in curiosity; no one has ever taken interest in his sketchbook since they presumed he only used it for communicating with others.
Spanner reached out for the book after asking, "Can I see this?" Once Tsuna nodded, the blond mechanic gripped the book and flipped from page to page, only seeing written question and answers on each page. He was quite surprised by the contents; doesn't this kid get tired writing everyday?
He then flipped to a page that contained a drawing of the beach they were on. It was a beautiful drawing and Spanner couldn't help but felt captivated by it. The details were so realistic; it looked as if someone took a picture of the beach instead of drawing it. "This is beautiful," Spanner complimented as he ran his fingers across the page, feeling the texture of the pencil underneath the pads of his fingers.
Tsuna smiled as he mouthed a 'Thank you' at the blond with a smile. It wasn't the first time that someone had complimented his drawings but it still felt wonderful when someone did and Spanner's was no different.
Spanner then looked up to stare at the boy before asking, "Don't you get tired by writing everything you need to say every day?" The Millefiore student handed back the brunet's book and watched as Tsuna wrote his answer on the book.
It does sometimes. But I'm most worried about the fact that my papers get wasted.
Spanner mulled over Tsuna's answer before his eyes widened in remembrance. He stood up and turned to Tsuna as he ordered, "Stay." He then walked into one of the rooms and closed the door behind him, leaving Tsuna all alone in the large room.
Why did I feel like a dog when Spanner-senpai ordered me to stay? Tsuna asked himself, feeling a bit disturbed by the thought before pushing it to the back of his mind as he waited patiently for Spanner.
Suddenly, the door behind him was slid open roughly, a slamming sound echoed throughout the Japanese styled room. Tsuna turned to see a red haired boy with green eyes. A pair of turquoise rimmed glasses was perched on the bridge of the red haired boy's nose.
Shoichi ran from the beach towards the Millefiore room and once the teen reached the room, he was already panting uncontrollably. He had slid the door open loudly and called out breathlessly, "Spanner-san!"
He blinked when he spotted an unfamiliar brunet in the room. The both of them stared at one another before Shoichi bowed repeatedly as he apologized, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry for bothering you! I thought this was my room!"
Tsuna tried to deny the red headed teen's exclamations, but could not utter a word as he shook his head in denial as he waved his hands around.
"What's going on?" Spanner asked as he came out from the room he had entered earlier, noticing Shoichi at the door. "Ah," Spanner voiced out in recognition before sitting down near Tsuna.
"Ah, Spanner-san… If you're here, that means… Oh, thank goodness. I thought I barged into the wrong room," Shoichi sighed in relief as he entered the room lazily, sliding the door close behind him. He was truly scared when he had really thought he entered the wrong room; oh how embarrassing that would be.
Spanner only smirked in amusement, effectively stifling his chuckle. He poured a cup of tea for Shoichi as well and handed it to the Secretary who accepted it gratefully. Spanner frowned a little, noticing how his beverage had gone a bit cold but still drank it as not to waste the green colored liquid.
"Spanner-san, who is he? He doesn't seem to be a Millefiore student," Shoichi asked after sipping his tea to restore some of his energy and rid the soreness of his throat due to his exhaustion. He had noticed how the boy never uttered anything, even when he had asked Spanner about the brunet instead of asking for the boy's identity himself. He was quite shocked to see the boy not bothered by the notion as he sipped his tea slowly.
"That's because he's not. He's the one who made the cakes Byakuran requested. He's also a Namimori High student," Spanner explained after he drank his tea and finished it. He watched Shoichi absorbed the new information as he poured himself another cup of tea.
"… I see," Shoichi said, a bit surprised by the fact that the brunet wasn't a Middle school student. Truly, the sentence 'Looks can be deceiving' fits the boy perfectly. He was far too small and far too slender to be a High school student and the boy's looks could ultimately pass him as a girl if one didn't observe carefully. Shoichi turned to the boy, "I'm Irie Shoichi. What's your name?"
Tsuna wrote his name onto his sketchbook and showed it to the red haired boy.
I'm Sawada Tsunayoshi. You can call me Tsuna.
Shoichi was quite shocked at the familiar name, having to hear it a couple of times and having to control his President when the exuberant white haired teen hopped all around, giddy at the newfound information of the brunet last night. He was equally shocked when the boy wrote his answer instead of saying it. He didn't voice out his surprise, however. And he was unsure if he should mention this meeting to the marshmallow-lover that was also the Millefiore Council President.
Tsuna then turned to Spanner who was sipping his green tea quite happily. Tilting his head, Tsuna wrote down his question and let Spanner read his query.
Do you like green tea, Spanner-senpai?
Spanner blinked before slowly answering, "I love everything Japanese." He smiled lightly when Shoichi only groan in agreement, having to spend time with the Millefiore's treasurer often.
Tsuna blinked and wrote down another question.
Why?
Spanner paused for a moment to think of his answer before smiling lightly in remembrance, "I could think of a lot of reasons as to why but what really attracted me to Japan was its advanced robotic technology. I've always been amazed by robots and technology in general. It's my dream to be a mechanic and no one would surely belittle me because of it."
Tsuna stared at him for a moment before asking the next question by writing it onto his book.
Where are you from? You seem to be a foreigner.
Spanner's eyes clouded as he spoke forlornly, "A place where money and power controls all… Greed and lust runs through their every being..." The blond teen then muttered softly, mostly to himself, "Maybe that's why I like Japan so much…"
Tsuna noticed Spanner's changed of mood and decided not to question the Japan-lover. He then turned to Shoichi who had an odd expression on his face; curiosity mixed with fear and embarrassment as well as a tint of apprehension.
Shoichi was biting his lip as his brows furrowed. He wanted to ask the boy about it but was afraid to voice it out. He eventually asked the lingering thought hesitantly, "I'm sorry to ask but… are you perhaps, mute?"
Tsuna smiled before shaking his head. To further elaborate his answer, Tsuna continued to write on his book before letting both Spanner and Shoichi read its content.
I don't talk much. I stopped talking when I was seven.
Shoichi was quite shocked at this before frantically caught Tsuna's sketchbook that was thrown to him by Spanner after the blond snatched it from the younger male and aimed it at Shoichi with a curt, "Catch." He frowned at Spanner's sudden actions but watched curiously as Spanner handed a PDA to Tsuna.
"Here, take this. It's a PDA; it can help you communicate with others without wasting your papers," Spanner explained as he watched the brunet stare at the device with curious eyes.
Tsuna instantly looked up and shook his head as he gave back the PDA to Spanner. He didn't want to bother Spanner and the PDA looked new; he didn't like to receive things from someone; he didn't deserve them after all. As he refused Spanner's gift to him, he didn't notice that Shoichi was going through his sketchbook and the red haired teen had stopped at the page where he had drawn the beach.
Shoichi was awed by the drawing, much like Spanner had. He was surprised that the boy had this talent and began to become more apprehensive as to the possible worst case scenario once his superior got hold of the information he had gained on Sawada Tsunayoshi. Shoichi decided; he would keep quite of this and would not utter any word of this meeting. Though, he didn't think he could do that long enough, since his President was a sly one and could easily detect odd behavior among his underlings.
Spanner frowned before shoving the technology back into Tsuna's hands. "I'm giving it to you because you need it. I don't use it anymore; I only brought it along to upgrade it," Spanner explained, his eyes showing that he was determined to hand it to Tsuna despite the younger one's vehement refusal.
Tsuna merely sighed in return before nodding slowly. He then glanced up at the blond and made a confused expression. Spanner didn't seem to understand him but Shoichi somehow could.
"Ah, Spanner-san, I think he doesn't know how to use a PDA," Shoichi concluded, placing his finished cup of tea to the side and watched as the brunet nodded in agreement.
"Oh," Spanner voiced out before he began teaching Tsuna about the PDA he had given to the boy. Tsuna listened carefully and paid close attention to Spanner. Shoichi also offered some tips as well, since both boys aimed to be mechanics in the near future.
He turned to Spanner and showed the blond what he had typed in his PDA earlier.
Thank you for this, Spanner-senpai… but if I may ask; why did you give me this? It's yours, is it not?
Spanner merely chuckled and said, "Somehow, I think you need it more than I do. Besides, as I've said before; I don't use it anymore…" Spanner then mumbled softly yet it was still audible, "… And I wanted to see more of your drawings, so you can't waste your papers."
Shoichi sighed a little but nevertheless, he nodded in agreement to Spanner's words as the red haired boy sent a small smile towards their new friend.
Tsuna smiled lightly, grateful that he met the two upperclassmen, even though they were from Millefiore. He decided; maybe there were some members of the Millefiore Council that aren't completely sadists.
"Oi, Tsuna!" Yamamoto called out as he and Gokudera searched for their small friend. They had gone on a hunt when they noticed that their friend had disappeared from the beach completely. Right after their match which ended with both teams tied, both he and Gokudera decided to get their friend since lunch time was getting close only to see their cute friend no longer on the beach. Gokudera had thrown a fit earlier, blaming Xanxus and Dino because of his Juudaime's disappearance, and then blaming himself for his insolence for not being able to take care of his precious Juudaime.
"Juudaime, please come out!" Gokudera yelled out as he searched everywhere for his savior, even if he had to lift a piece of paper and search underneath them. He had gone into rooms, demanded answers from every single person they met as they searched but to no avail; it seemed as if their friend had vanished from the face of the Earth. "It's my fault that Juudaime is missing," Gokudera said pathetically, as he sat miserably in a corner with an aura of depression.
Yamamoto laughed nervously as he sweat-dropped at his friend's immediate sadness. Thinking of a way to cheer up the silver haired boy, Yamamoto then cupped his fist in his other hand when an idea popped into his mind. Smiling lightly, he crouched down next to Gokudera and whispered, "Ne Gokudera, what would happen if Tsuna's been catched by some guys who want to hurt him? We need to find him quick!"
As if breaking from a trance, the miserable look in Gokudera's emerald eyes dissipate as determination and anger became evident in those green orbs. "I will never let anyone hurt Juudaime… Don't worry Juudaime –I'll find you!" Gokudera growled out before running at an insane speed, leaving Yamamoto to catch up to him as the baseball player laughed lightly.
As they both ran to continue their search, they completely missed Tsuna by mere seconds when the boy walked out of the Millefiore Council's room as the brunet slid the door shut behind him. Tsuna smiled as he looked down at the PDA Spanner had kindly give to him.
That was really kind of Spanner-senpai… Tsuna thought as he walked towards his room, noticing that it was almost lunch time. He laughed inwardly to himself, Time sure flies by when you're having fun, eh? He had thanked his new friends –if he could call them that, and left immediately after bidding a 'Goodbye'. They weren't bad at all; in fact, they were very hospitable people.
As Tsuna walked towards his destination, he looked up from his PDA when he heard a familiar voice and felt his blood ran cold when he finally recognized it; Reikoku. Tsuna had frozen when Reikoku and his friends came into view and heard his breath hitch when Reikoku finally spotted him.
Reikoku looked ahead from talking to his friend and saw a very familiar person standing in his way. A feral smirk made its way onto his face when he recognized Sawada Tsunayoshi immediately; the boy was standing like a deer caught in the headlights at the sight of him. His smirk widened when the boy turned to run; he did love a good hunt.
Tsuna immediately turned to run when he saw Reikoku's smirk but when he only got twenty feet away from Reikoku, he was already caught by the delinquent. He tried to struggle when the delinquent locked his arms behind his back but his actions were fruitless since Reikoku's grip was tight.
"Well, well, what do we have here?" Reikoku snickered, letting his breath ghost upon the captured male's ear. The delinquent was determined to make the boy his even though he was severely beaten by Hibari last time. He let out a chuckled when the boy struggled again and bit the boy's earlobe, earning a flinch of pain from the smaller brunet.
Tsuna had flinched in pain when Reikoku suddenly bit his earlobe and the boy ceased his struggles as he hissed in pain. He felt a shiver go down his spine when Reikoku let out another chuckle, yet this one was more ominous than the first. Reikoku was planning something; that was for sure. Tsuna looked warily at the delinquent as he turned his head, noticing that the Varia student's friends came up to them. This isn't good at all! Somebody, help! Tsuna cried out inwardly, struggling once more, albeit more roughly this time.
"Whoa there," Reikoku smirked as he pulled the boy's arms back, trying to tame the smaller male and smirked when the boy hissed once more. Oddly enough, Reikoku had thought the hiss that came from the boy's mouth sounded erotic. This kid… I swear, if it wasn't for the fact he's afraid of me and tries to run away, I would've thought he's seducing me, Reikoku thought as he brought up the kid's back to his torso. He liked it when his prey struggles; it adds excitement to the chase. "You shouldn't struggle so much, you know. I could easily take you, right here and now," Reikoku whispered into the boy's ear, enjoying the sight of the delectable boy shudder visibly.
"Reikoku, what are you going to do with him?" a long haired blond with ear piercings asked as he near his brown haired friend, eyeing Tsuna predatorily. He noticed how delectable and sweet the boy looked, especially when frightened. "Ne, can I have a go with this kid?" he asked with a lecherous grin, stroking Tsuna's chin gingerly with his fingers that had its nails painted black. A tongue appeared and swiped across the blond's upper lip and Tsuna briefly saw a tongue piercing glint.
Tsuna shuddered once more when he saw that the people Reikoku was with was not the goons that had tried to chase after Kyoko and Haru the other day. These were different people and looked even more dangerous than the guys from yesterday. He tried to struggle once more but it was futile as Reikoku's hold on him didn't slacken one bit.
"Oi, oi Nao, I'm taking him first," Reikoku growled out as he pulled the boy's arm until there was no space existed between him and the boy. He was the one who had his eyes on the boy first so he was going to take the boy first.
The blond, Nao only chuckled as he raised his hand in a mock surrender pose, "Hai, hai. You can have him first then." The blond then turned when one of his friends let out an unsatisfied groan.
"Oi, both of you should stop playing and start moving. We need to get a move on before the sensei sees us," a black haired boy hissed, a scowl set on his face as he glared at both of his friends. He then sent an unreadable expression to the now trembling Tsuna. The black haired boy had his hair in a mess as ear piercings and a single mouth piercing, right underneath his lower lip were evident of his pale face. Icy blue eyes glared down at the rest since he was a couple of centimeters taller than the rest.
"I have to agree with Yui. We need to move now or someone will catch us here," a red haired boy said tiredly, ruffling his already messy hair as amber eyes stared lazily at the rest.
"Oh, come on you two! Can't you guys have a little fun?" Nao laughed out, cerulean blue eyes stared at the rest of his friends in exasperation. He always wondered how he could get along with his boring friends sometimes.
Tsuna looked around, trying to find an escape. He then finally thought up of a way to make a quick escape before jolting in surprise when a hand with red painted nails averted his gaze elsewhere. He found himself looking at the red haired teen as the male traced his bottom lip. "He's not half bad," Tsuna heard the red headed male mused loudly.
"Oi, hands off, Takahiro" Reikoku growled possessively as a hand circled around Tsuna's waist. He was the possessive type, that's for sure and Reikoku didn't want anyone touching what was his before he had his fill of them.
"We should really get going–!" Yui was cut off when Tsuna suddenly stomped on Reikoku's foot, making the brown haired delinquent groan in pain. Once Reikoku's hold on him slacked, he broke out of his human restraint and started running away. The black haired man tut in disappointment before he and Reikoku chased after the running brunet while Nao and Takahiro followed them lazily.
Tsuna didn't get far and knew he couldn't call out for help and decided to play an alarm that was labeled 'Save' in the PDA he had gotten from Spanner earlier. He hoped that someone could hear the alarm he played which Tsuna found amusing since it sounded like someone screamed 'Help! Help!'. Spanner-senpai thought of everything, didn't he? Tsuna thought as he shut off the alarm when he heard heavy footsteps behind him.
Tsuna accidentally dropped his belongings when large hands grasped his forearms and yanked him back to a chiseled chest. Tsuna whimpered inaudibly as he looked up to see the menacing black haired male that was glaring down at him.
"You have a lot of guts taking off like that," Yui growled, clutching the thin arms tighter, emitting a hiss of pain from the Namimori student as tears pooled at the corner of Tsuna's brown eyes. Yui couldn't help but feel attracted to the small and petite male, wanting to devour Tsuna immediately. He ran a hand across the boy's slender chest, and Tsuna noticed, just like the rest of Yui's friends with the exception of Takahiro, the teen had painted his nails black.
Smirking, Yui tilted the boy's head with his hand, not minding the fact that Reikoku and the others finally arrived and glared at him. "I can see why Reikoku has a thing for you…" Yui purred as he stroked the boy's chin and bottom lip before sliding his hand towards the boy's crotch.
Tsuna felt dread surging through his being when he felt a warm, large hand moved towards the lower part of his body. Struggling in the delinquent's hold, Tsuna then let out a whimper, "Please… let me go…"
Reikoku ears perked up at the soft voice before smirking as he leaned down to face Tsuna, "Oh? What's this? Can you speak up, prey?" Reikoku was having a wonderful time, as he stroked Tsuna's lips, taking in the marvelous beauty in front of him. He had heard the boy speak when rumors say the boy couldn't.
Tsuna cringed and refused to say another word but judging by the fact that Reikoku's hand suddenly trailed down to his throat dangerously, Tsuna decided to repeat the words he had just said, only louder, "Please, let me go…"
Nao gritted his teeth at the sound of the boy's voice; seriously, was the boy trying to seduce them? "Damn… That voice…" he managed to say as he felt slightly turned on by the soft voice.
Reikoku grunted in agreement and leaned in to capture Tsuna's lips. He thought it would be his chance to finally get a taste of those lips.
"What are you boys doing?" a voice rang throughout the hallway as all four of them turned to see Namimori's Martial Arts teacher, Fon glaring at them with hostility. "Let that boy go this instance!" Fon commanded, his voice rose as he walked towards them with graceful yet dangerous steps. The glare that the Chinese man was sending them was inexplicably frightening.
Reikoku cursed before motioning Yui to let go of Tsuna. He wasn't happy that he was stopped yet again from claiming the brown haired boy as his. First was Hibari and now Fon; did Namimori have a thing against him?
Once he was released, Tsuna collected his things from the floor and ran towards Fon who hid the boy; who he recognized as Sawada Tsunayoshi, behind him. Tsuna leaned against Fon's back as the fear in his being hasn't dissipated. He thanked Kami-sama for sending Fon-sensei to help him.
"You boys should take this time to escape or I will report this to your teacher and have you suspended. Your actions will not be accepted nor will it be overlooked, especially to a Namimori student. Is it not clear that there will be no harassment among students during this trip even though they are from different schools? You boys, of all people should know that as it seems all of you are third years, if I'm not mistaken. If I hear you repeat this type of stunt again, I will see to it that all of you are to be expelled. Do I make myself clear?" Fon demanded and once he received begrudging nods, he shooed them off, watching as they went away but with a lingering stare directed at his student.
Fon then turned to the trembling brunet, calming the boy down as he hugged the boy tightly. The boy didn't deserve to be harassed sexually by those Varia students and to be almost violated by them was probably the most frightening thing the boy had to face. Fon made a mental note to speak to Viper about this agenda and see to it that those boys got their punishments. "Follow me, okay? I'll make you some hot tea to calm yourself," Fon said softly with a smile, stroking the silky hair; the Chinese man was quite surprised by its softness.
Tsuna nodded meekly, before he followed Fon, clutching the man's red shirt. Fon pulled the boy's hand from his shirt and gripped the smaller hand in his large ones, chuckling at the brunet's flushed cheeks. How cute, Fon mused inwardly.
As the two of them headed towards their destination, they had met the Chinese girl Tsuna had seen yesterday. "Ah, I-Pin," Fon greeted his Martial Arts student who bowed at him respectfully.
"Hello, Fon-sensei," I-Pin responded before noticing Tsunayoshi who waved sheepishly at her. "Tsunayoshi-nii! Finally, I have found you!" I-Pin said excitedly, walking towards the older student with a smile, "We've been searching for you all day; Lambo wants to apologize for yesterday's incident."
Tsuna blinked and nodded slowly, remembering the black haired boy he had crashed into the other day. He typed in his PDA and showed it to the Chinese girl who read the typed question.
Fon-sensei and I are heading towards his room where he shares with the rest of the teachers. Where's Lambo-kun at?
I-Pin's face broke into a much bigger smile, "Ah, what a coincidence! I was heading there as well and Lambo-kun and the others are already there!"
Fon chuckled at the two, "Well then, let's go. We don't want to hold up Lambo-kun's apology to Tsunayoshi-kun." Fon looked down when Tsuna tugged on his arm and read the text that the brunet had typed on his PDA with a small smile.
Tsuna is fine, Fon-sensei.
Nodding, the Chinese man let out a small sigh of content, "Tsuna-kun it is then."
The three arrived at the room with Fon releasing Tsuna's hand in order to get the boy a cup of tea. Tsuna was quite surprised to see some teachers that were not from Namimori, for example Viper-sensei that was sitting next to Skull-sensei, sipping a mug of coffee. He spotted a green haired man wearing a lab coat and two blue haired women that looked the same only one had short hair and the other one possessed long hair. He then noticed Lambo and his friends sitting near the blue haired ladies.
"Ah, Tsunayoshi-nii!" Fuuta said excitedly before seeing the PDA shown to him. The boy blinked twice at the text before smiling once more, "I have to call you Tsuna-nii from now on, huh?"
Tsuna nodded lightly before his eyes landed on Lambo who looked bashful. Tilting his head to the side, he watched as Lambo tried to mutter out something nervously.
Taking a deep breath, Lambo then stared at Tsuna before muttering out nervously, "I'm sorry… for crashing into you yesterday…" He was shocked to see the brunet smile and waved his hand before typing on his PDA slowly as if the brunet was newly accustomed to the technology. He then read the sentence the brunet showed to him and smiled a bit.
It is okay, I'm not angry at all and your apology is accepted, Lambo-kun.
"Fon, why did you bring him here?" Viper asked after sipping his hot coffee. He had stared at the boy ever since the first year Namimori High student had entered the room. He was curious; Fon never brought students into their room so why did he make the boy an exception?
Fon was reluctant to answer the question; he didn't want to bring up Tsuna's unpleasant memories of the delinquents he had scolded earlier. Fon sent Tsuna a look to question the boy whether or not it was okay to answer Viper's question. Once he saw Tsuna nodded, albeit a bit hesitant, he indulged Viper by answering the Varia teacher's question, "Some third year students from your school… harassed Tsunayoshi-kun in a very unwelcomed way."
"'Harassed'? As in?" Viper demanded for an elaboration, a frown made its way on his face. He had received complaints from Hibari Kyoya about some third year students harassing three Namimori students yesterday and one of them being Sawada Tsunayoshi.
"He wasn't bullied… This harassment could be categorized underneath 'Attempted Violation', so to speak," Fon explained uncomfortably as he handed Tsuna a cup of oolong tea. He ruffled the brunet's hair when Tsuna smiled at him; a gesture to say 'Thank you' to him.
"So, who are those brats?" Viper asked as he sighed when his coffee was finished.
Fon sighed through his nose, before looking up at the hooded teacher, "Reikoku and his friends; those boys should seriously stop harassing my students. Reports of them have been circulating in Namimori." Fon then took a sip of his tea to calm himself down.
"Oh dear, is the boy okay?" Luce asked as she neared Tsuna, checking the boy for injuries or something close to them. She sighed in relief when she spotted none until her eyes narrowed to the boy's right earlobe. A bite mark was present though it was feint; Luce knew it was given to the boy recently. "Those kids should be expelled," Luce said darkly, stroking Tsuna's hair in a motherly fashion.
Tsuna didn't mind that one of the blue haired women stroked his hair in a motherly way; he was used to it, due to the fact his mother often did the same thing. He looked up at the woman and saw her smile as she introduced herself and the other occupants in the room, pointing to the respective people, "Hi, I'm Luce and that's my daughter Aria, my granddaughter Yuni-chan, Fuuta-kun, you seem to already know I-Pin-chan and Lambo-kun. That man is Verde-kun and that's Viper-kun or best known as Mammon-kun. I'm sure you've already known Fon-kun and Skull-kun since they're teachers from your school."
Tsuna nodded a bit but gestured that he already knew Viper. He then sent a sweet smile to the woman before sipping his oolong tea and his shoulder slump at the delectable taste that hit his taste buds. He couldn't halp but let out a satisfied sigh in which Fon took notice immediately.
"Do you like it? Oolong is one of my favorites; it's nice to know that someone appreciates tea as much as I do," Fon laughed lightly, pouring himself another cup before refilling Tsuna's empty one. "Not even one of my friends likes tea as much as I do. It gets very boring often when you have no one to share delicious tea with," Fon sniffed in a mock sadness which earned a small amused smile by Tsuna.
"Well, I'm sorry if we're boring to you, kora," a deep voice was heard as the door slid open. By the sound of their footsteps, three people stepped in. A large hand made itself known as it sunk into Tsuna's mass of brown locks.
"Well, well, if it isn't Dame-Tsuna. What a surprise to see you again!"
Tsuna swore his face was drained from all colors when he heard the familiar voice. Turning his head to see if his guess was right, he froze the second he saw the person that placed their hand into his hair.
"Ciaossu, oh idiotic student of mine," Reborn greeted to the brunet with a lazy wave. An amused smirk made its way on Reborn's face when the sadistic teacher saw fear evident in Tsuna's eyes.
Hiieee! Why's Reborn-sensei here at this time? Tsuna couldn't help but wail inwardly.
And... there you have it! ... My writing sucks! (cries) I'm not a good author at all! (cries) I hope you can all forgive me for being so... pathetic! (wails) Anyways, back to the matter at hand; I have a LOT of plotbunnies going through my mind and I really want your opinions on it.
First, it's a crossover between KHR and Kuroko no Basuke (my current obsession other than KHR). Tsuna ran away after he just got dumped by his recent boyfriend and got into a car accident which he was saved by Kuroko; his childhood friend. Now, as Tsuna and Kuroko spend their time in Seirin, Tsuna's ex-lovers search for him. In this fic, Tsuna can play basketball, okay? And the pairings are All(KHR characters only) x 27 and All(KnB characters only) x Kuroko with Kuroko and Tsuna fluffiness. If you don't understand this, don't be afraid to ask.
Second, it's about Tsuna living in a new Era of Namimori which is controlled by the Vongola Government. Tsuna's a poor boy who has to work to support his made-up family while Vongola is on a hunt for new recruits in their officers department. Every boy in every family is taken in order for the Vongola to have more officers and soldiers. Tsuna gets taken and wounds up making his fellow higher-ups fall for him.
The third and fourth are short stories which contain 4-10 chapters. One is about a school Camping trip and all of the Characters attend Namimori and Tsuna, being the cute boy he is, makes other boys attack him. The other one is about a school festival where Tsuna is involved in a play and has to be the princess in the play and he has to be a maid for his class' Maid Cafe. Like the camping trip story, all of the characters attend Namimori. In both stories, our semes have already known Tsuna and are infatuated by him.
So, what do you guys think of it? Let me know if you want to see any of them! And... I'm sorry for not being a good author! (Cries again) I'm so pathetic... Oh, and if you guys have any ideas you want to see in the story, then tell me about it. I'll try to include them in the plot but I'm not making any promises. Bye-bi!
