I finally finished a new chapter Hahaha! Anyway thanks for the reviews and enjoy.
~.~
"Natsu-kun… are you sure this is fine?" The blond had to stop himself from smiling. He felt happy not that he made her worry but that there was someone to worry about him. The orange haired girl was helping him get on the bus that left to the next town where he could get an airport ticket.
"Yeah I have to go home. I don't live in Germany, I was just visiting my mom." Well he wasn't lying, practically speaking. He was just visiting and he didn't live in Germany, as for that cold apartment wasn't something he could call home. It was just a reminder of something he lost.
"Still you just left the hospital." He knew Kyoko had no idea how he hated hospitals, he suffered more than 7 days sitting put in a bed. It was great feat for someone like him for who being still for more than an hour was an achievement. Sitting seven days idly… he felt as he was slowly going crazy, it was pure torture. Every freacking tick of the clock reminded him of the time he was wasting in the hospital. That of course is not to say that he was in the hospital all the time. He managed to sneak out and steal his knife back. He also took a small trip home and brought some necessities to the hospital.
"I didn't just leave. I checked myself out AMA." Natsu said chiding her playfully which made a tick mark appear on her forehead.
"The doctors said you shouldn't be moving around. What if you tear you stiches?"
"I will be careful."
"Is because of your father isn't it?" The blond smiled bitterly at the girl who looked at the ground in shame. "I'm sorry I saw your face when you spoke with him on the cellphone."
"He and I don't get along... He thinks my mother won't ever wake up." Natsu said looking away. The pain in his eyes spoke for itself. "…but I won't give up. If there is only 1% that she will… I'll keep believing in that 1%." Kyoko looked away. She wanted to apologize but it just didn't feel right. The blond seeing her so distressed flickered her forehead playfully. "Don't look like that. Besides I have something really important to ask of you…"
~.~
"Unc'e Reborn!" The green haired girl shouted happily as she jumped into the man's open arm. The guards scoffed when the hit-man give him gave him a smug smile. He may have been Yuni's personal bodyguard but he was ages away from Reborn's status.
"Reborn you finally here." Aria greeted him with an amused expression. It was actually funny how everyone in the mansion competed for the small girl's affection. She had them all wrapped around her little finger. Gamma was glaring daggers at Reborn who looked at him smugly when Yuni refused the blond's offer to take her from the hit-man's arm.
"Chaos Aria." The man finally greeted her and she had to restrain herself from commenting on the man's nonchalant attitude. It really pissed her off sometime.
"You finally her' Reborn. Let's-"
"He already left." Gamma said with a sweat-drop and stepped away from the enraged female who's eyebrow was twitching furiously.
~.~
Tsuna let out a small whistle as he finally arrived to the location. The mansion wasn't big, it humongous. He raised an eyebrow at the poor security though. It was two o'clock in the morning, dead hour. Easily avoiding the cameras he moved to a blind spot. He was dressed in black overall, only wearing a white jacket because leaving a hotel dressed in all black was too suspicious. He took off his jacked folded it and put in inside his back-bag. He took out his utility belt and fastened it around his waist before attaching it to his leg-straps together with his gun. It was necessary, this way they won't bother him while he was moving around. Lastly he took out a black ski-mask. He was sure he won't get caught on any camera but better be safe. He jumped over the fence easily. Careful of the cameras movement he made his way to the back entrance.
The door was locked, no surprise there. He carefully attached a magnet to both ends of the door, so he won't trip the alarm. He used his lock pick skill and Ta-Da open. He smirked behind his mask and silently made his way inside, closed the door and took away the magnets. It was so easy that it was slightly boring. He bypassed the security cameras, there were only tree guards on each floor laughable really. He moved to the bath, where he climbed into the vent. He easily found the place's Emergency Diagram, in the city hall. Though the construction plans were harder to find, happily the place was renovated not so long ago so he instead got both the original and the renovation plans from the company they used.
He pushed the ski-mask up. The thing was suffocating. He found the electric box easily and didn't even have to climb a ladder, idiots really, the vent stopped right before it. They were asking to get robbed. And who was he to turn them down when they offered on a silver tray? He smiled as the lock opened. He had awesome lock picking skills. His smile fell the moment he opened the box. Should have known this was going too nicely. He really wanted to shout at the man that set it up. Cursing him ten feet underground where he probably was; the mansion was after all build in the 17 century… He sighed as he looked inside the box. The wiring was done in such a messy way, he spend at least half an hour finding and tracing the wires before he finally found the ones he was looking for. He connected his laptop and the whole system was too easy to hack into, really. What kind of fool wrote this firewall? He shook his head as he finished setting up a backdoor to their network. Now he was getting a live-feed on his laptop and now… he had a live feed on his cellphone. This way he could easily keep an eye on the guards movements. Lastly, he smirked as he placed a small device that flashed red when he connected it to the circuit. It was well hidden, between all the wires, he doubted people would even realize that it was there.
Locking the box, he sighed his job was almost done here, he only had to check out his escape routes. Most of the preparations were finished. Well he still had, he looked at clock on his wrist, an hour before the second shift started… this place's security sucked. He looked at his cellphone and hah… looks like one of the guard felt asleep. Pathetic really…
~.~
Reborn hmmed as he sipped his espresso. "Are you even listening to me?" Aria asked a bit annoyed with the hit-man.
"Yes." Came the one word answer again.
"Moh… as I said Xanxus won't take it lying down, Nono has to be careful."
"Well he was already rejected by the ring once." The hit-man replied with a shrug. "The rest of the famiglia won't accept him as their leader. Is the reason the IX generation guardians are training the brats." He explained, it was no secret after all.
"Yes but both Enrico and Massimo is dead. Until now that left Xanxus as the only possible heir…"
"Until Iyemitsu's son appeared that is." Reborn finished her sentence. "You had a vision didn't you?" Aria didn't respond but that was an answer in itself.
"I know that you will play a very important role in his son's life."
"So you think Iyemitsu's son has sky flames… Since the blond idiot is Vongola I descendent, his son is entitled. It would make sense if Nono asked me to tutor the brat… that way he will be safe and hidden from Xanxus reach until at least he is strong enough to protect himself." The hit-man reasoned. Great another brat to tutor… hope this one has more guts than Dino.
~.~
Tsuna sneezed and the guard looked around frantically. The blond quickly ducked to the ground. Troublesome… this was not part of his plans. The man scratched his head and mumbled an "I could swear I just heard something…" before walking away while leaving a sweat-dropping blond behind.
He sat up after the guard was out of sight and looked at his cell. The guard was going to the direction he was heading to. He sighed as he creped in the shadows following the man carefully so he won't get caught on tape. He smirked then opened a door to a small office and used a hidden door to leave, you just got love 17 century mansions if you're a thief. The tunnel opened in the garden, ignoring a fake camera, he jumped the fence. He quickly put away his gear before taking the white jacket and tying it around his waist. He verified the last hiding places he prepared in case he was followed before going back to the small hotel he was staying at.
He smirked as he quickly set up his laptop and let himself fall head in the bed. He glanced at his disguise, which he simply lifted from the dry-cleaning. Tomorrow was going to be an interesting day. He could barely wait.
~Next day~
Reborn sighed as he blended in the shadows. The party was going rather well but he didn't feel like mixing with the crowd tonight. He always disliked this kind of events, they were all for appearances, yet he couldn't say no, not when his cute niece asked him too. Besides… he moved his drink around in his glass… who knows he might meet someone who would be able to take Tsuna out of his mind. My kawaii thief. He shook his head as his mind was going in that direction again. He opened his eyes and closed them again, awesome he was now seeing the blond everywhere… he blinked and did a double take. His smirk turned ferocious. Good news he wasn't going crazy, greater news Blondy looked hot as hell and the greatest news he was right in front of him.
Tsuna smiled as he served another guest. For obvious reasons mostly women's who were kind enough to leave him with a phone number though he smiled gently at the man who took a drink off his tray , he had now… four male phone numbers to add to his growing collection. He was just about to turn around to get a new tray seeing as he only had one more glass when someone took that glass away.
"Than-" He froze mid-speech.
"So you're working as a waiter now. Wasn't my money suffice to buy yourself a sweet-life?" The hit-man asked grinning slightly as the blond completely froze.
The teen laughed lamely before putting on his poker face. "I'm sorry sir I have no idea what you're talking about."
"Oh really?" Reborn asked with a raised eyebrow. "Then I'm sure you won't mind if I verify and take off your cloths right here, right now. Because I'm sure my kawaii thief had a tattoo, right" Reborn said touching the blond's back and gently move it down. "here." The blond had to stop a shudder ripping through his body. "Still so sensitive…" Reborn whispered into his ear, his deep and husky voice sent shivers down the blond's spine. Tsuna had to stifle a moan in the man's shoulder. The hit-man smirked bringing the blond out of his lust induced phase.
The blond stepped away and looked at the crowd, happily no one paid attention since a piano recite just started, and the lights were dimmed, and how the hell did he miss that. He hit-himself over and over in his head, it would have been the perfect opportunity to steal the broach and he missed it all because of him. He turned his gaze and glared at the man defiantly. "What do you want Reborn." He asked half whispering.
"Hmm that's more like you." The man smirked as he sipped his drink with a cool demander that pissed the blond off even more.
"If you have nothing to say than. Please enjoy your evening sir." Tsuna said with a polite smile before turning around and walking away even though he was sure Reborn was watching his every move it made the blond a bit self-conscious. The hit-man didn't stop him which added to his suspicion. He walked back to the kitchen and glared at the floor before the head chef called him over. He needed to keep his head in the game, damn the annoying, hot hit-man.
Reborn meanwhile smiled to himself. There was only one reason for Tsuna to be here. He glanced at the teenage girl who was most likely targeted and turned back his eyes to the kitchen door. Blondy won't leave until he got what he wanted. The teenager had more guts than that. No the teen will try and finish his job even if the world's number one hitman stood in his way. This again was turning out to be an interesting game. But first he had to talk to Gamma and let him know that he won't be able to watch Yuni.
Tsuna approached the girl wearing the broach and her friends with some drinks just for the hit-man to step in and start talking to them. The blond smiled charmingly while he contemplated other ways to steal the broach. Each method failed thanks to a certain hit-man's interference. The man lived to make his life living hell. He was contemplating spilling an entire tray of drinks on the hit-man… which had less than 30% chances of succeeding, and would attracted to much attention, yet he was getting desperate. The event was approaching its end and he didn't even touch the broach once.
"Take a break Natsu." The chef said seeing the teen so distressed.
"Thank you…" The teen said as he left the kitchen with a cloud of depression hanging over his head. He walked out to the empty garden.
"Rough day at work?" He could practically hear the smirk in that smug voice.
"Not at all, sir." The blond said sarcastically while giving the man a dirty look.
"Hmm… I like it when you call me that" The black-haired male said taking a step toward him which made the blond take one back unwillingly. "…you should try saying master sometime…" Tsuna cursed himself or showing weakness before the hit-man and stopped moving backwards. He glared at the man and stood his ground which made Reborn smile satisfied. "…but still I like it better when you scream my name." He whispered leaning toward the blond with an outstretched hand touching the outer wall gently, successfully capturing the blond between his body and the wall. The hit-man's right hand found the boy's face fast enough. Tilting his head backwards, those crimson eyes captivated him again.
Tsuna hated feeling like he was being trapped, it made him homicidal, there were few things that could do it. But his mind kept flashing images of that night not ten days ago. He let the blade hidden in his sleeve fall into his waiting hands and lashed out just when the man grabbed his face. He pressed the dagger to the hit-man's neck , yet the man ignored as he instead choose to close the distance between their lips.
The cold blade pressed into his skin warningly, yet he felt like he was bewitched. His body moved on his own, a second later a hairline cut appear on his neck. He could care less of the blood dripping from the blade. He had his prize. Those soft pink lips were frozen, yet the moment he touched them the boy melted into his embrace. The hit-man shoved the blond against the wall. The boy casually let the silver blade fall to the ground as his lips were once again captured by the raven. The feverish kisses continued their trail down making the boy squirm.
The teen's pale skin seemed to shine in the dark. Reborn just couldn't seem to get enough, his taste, smell was maddening. The hit-man grabbed the teen's legs and hoisted them up. The teen getting the message wrapped them around the older male while his arms automatically wrapped themselves around the hit-man's neck. The friction made Reborn let out an uncharacteristic sigh. Tsuna seeing the man distracted begun to leave butterfly kisses while unbuttoning the man's dress shirt, before licking the small trail of blood on the man's neck. Reborn grasped before tilting the teens face with his free hand and kissing him messily.
The long kiss left both of them breathing heavily. Reborn grinded against the teen making the blond let out a soft moan. It was that moan what broke the spell. Tsuna's eye widened as he realized just what they were about to do, and in the garden nevertheless. Anyone who wanted to take a small breath could have easily cached them in action.
"Stop…" he said softly but firmly enough to make the hit-man acknowledge his request. "We can't… not here…" The hit-man fixed him an annoyed stare but put the blond down.
"You are not getting out of it." The hit-man whispered before biting the boy's ear. Tsuna's face turned into an interesting shade of pink as he tried to bat the man away. Reborn only grinned mischievously before leaving a blushing blond behind. The teen fixed his cloth and put his hidden blade away before he walked back to the party. He still had a broach to steal after all. The head chef smiled knowingly before giving him a task.
Looking at the crowd of people he could easily tell that most people were either too bored or just tired. One of the reason he hated this kind of parties. He only had one more chance before the people would start to leave. It looked like he had no choice but to use that. He moved close to the girl that was wearing the broach and pressed the button on his cellphone. The entire hall got engulfed in darkness, first came the complete silence. Some people thought it was part of the show, well they changed their mind when the electric box let out some sparks. Panic and darkness. It worked so well together. He slipped away from the crowd with a big grin. Careful so he won't get caught on the cameras he walked to the office. While the screaming and panic induced guests blocked the front and the back entrances he walked out the mansion with a small smirk playing across his features. He jumped over the fence and landed gracefully.
"So you did manage to steal it."
Damn the man. "How did you know I will come through here?" Tsuna asked curiously.
"Occupational hazard I guess. The moment I saw the Evacuation Plan's and I deduced that there must have been a hidden trap door somewhere." The man said with a simple shrug.
"Gotta love 17 century architects." The hit-man find himself smiling amused as they began walking.
"Now what?"
"Well… here is the moment I should silence you. But since I doubt I'm capable of that… I'll be satisfied with getting away before the police arrives."
"How about a ride?" The man asked politely. It was all a faced the blond knew of course he won't get away from the hit-man that easily this time.
"Didn't you come here with someone?"
"They left."
"Aha…" The blond teenaged looked at the man skeptically. "Well if it means anything I'm sorry I ruined your date." Tsuna added sincerely witch made the hit-man raise an eyebrow before making him smile deviously.
"Since you said that much…"
"R-reborn?" Tsuna asked a bit scared of the male.
"I guess you will have to repay me. You're sorry after all." Reborn said smiling innocently which made the blond sigh in defeat. He knew he should just give up… there was no way he could get away from the hit-man this time. Yet it didn't stop him from making a break for it; of course the raven haired male only grabbed him by the end of his collar and dragged his pouting ass to his car, which was parked quite close. It made the blond raise an eyebrow or two… since when did the ravennet know he would try and escape through the hidden door? Reborn practically throw the still sulking blond inside the car before climbing in himself and driving away, god knows where.
The blond never felt more grateful for seatbelts in his whole life. That was saying something since he had the pleasure to participate in some car-chases before. He would have screamed if only he wasn't so fucking scared that Reborn would crash the car, like he would dare distract him. It probably wasn't more than 10 minutes but it felt like an eternity the hit-man finally asked him.
"Where are you staying?"
"Why?"
"We need to get your things."
"Again why?"
"You're staying with for the time being, of course."
"I don't think so." The blond said with a huff, which made the hit-man chuckle darkly.
"Cute…you actually think that was a suggestion?" The man asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Like hell."
"Suit yourself. I'm sure they will good care of your things." Reborn said indifferently while the blond gaped.
"T-turn around…" the teen said realizing that he was fighting a losing battle. Reborn won't let him go before he gave the man back his money… which he didn't felt like doing. The man was practically kidnapping him he should call the authorities… actually on second thought stolen broche with diamonds, stolen bank account… yeah probably not a good idea. Reborn smiled amused as the teen pouted again. He quickly parked the car, the blond sighed.
"Let's go."
"Must you come?"
"Yes."
"Of course you do." Tsuna said as he sneaked into his own hotel room, which made the hit-man raise an eyebrow.
"Why are we sneaking around?" he finally asked.
"I planned to change my cloths before I come here. Thanks to a certain someone I couldn't do that." The blond said as they climbed the stairs. "The first place the police usually searches for criminals ...places where criminals usually hide." Yeah the run down hotel Blondy was staying at was such a place. That raised another question through. Why did the blond stay in such a place? He could have easily afford something better. His money aside, the teen just stole Queens Mary Broche, he was obviously not a small player… yet he stayed in such a run-down hotel. Why? The teen was a mystery, the more he unfold the more he got wrapped up in it. The blond seemed hesitant before opening the door. It made Reborn raise an eyebrow. "I thought you were in a hurry."
"You know you me and bed not such a great combination when we are in a hurry."
"Aha and dragging things out is? Besides the bed is unnecessary… against the wall, door, furniture, in the car or tub. I'm good either way." Tsuna gapped.
"Not picky are you…" He muttered half broken as he finally disabled the trap behind his door. Letting the hit-man in first he closed the door quietly. Reborn observed the room carefully. Blondy's travelling bag was hidden under the bed. The blond moved past him and quickly found himself a change of cloths. "Don't just stare. Help me pack." The blond said annoyed as he realized Reborn was watching him undress.
"You know." The man smirked as the teen's breath hitched. His steps were just too silent. "All you had to do is ask." The man whispered in his ear, his deep voice sending shivers down his spine.
"W-what are you doing?" The teen asked with a small throbbing vein on his forehead.
"What does it look like? I'm helping you undress." Reborn replied like it was the most obvious thing in the world. And it probably was.
"And who asked you to?"
"You."
"When?!"
"You just said help me."
"I said help me pack away not help me undress. What the hell is with your self-serving and selective hearing?" The blond wanted to shout or cry but couldn't decide which urge was stronger.
"Hm talking back to m-"Reborn couldn't finish the sentence as the blond kneeled over grasping his mid-section he successfully cached him before he hit the ground."Oi…" The blond was barely conscious, as he laid the blond down and took his wet hand back, he easily realized just what was the problem. Blondy's white shirt was soaked with blood.
Anyway this is a take, and I won't say who the mysterious man is.
Now an another note I forgot to mention this in the first chapter. You all know that this is AU obviously. Here the Arcobaleno curse was already undid by Timoteo and Dino mostly. I said mostly because the Sky Arcobaleno curse didn't disappear entirely. This will make more sense in the future I hope. As for IX he is still Vongola's sky guardian and boss although a bit younger than in cannon. Enrico and Massimo are dead so that would have left Xanxus the only possible heir until Tsuna appeared of course. Xanxus was rejected by the ring once so the IX generation took it upon themselves to find successors they all did one exception Timoteo. So yup the rest of X gen Vongola are already involved in mafia. Of course that doesn't mean that they will all accept Tsuna that easily, but that's for the future chapters.
Well anyway Bye-bye! Till next time!
