It was early in the morning when the sun was already up in the sky and its ray radiant through the window and on Tsuna's face. His eyes open narrowly, looking at the white wall next to his bed. He was debating wither he should get up or just lay there and let the world do whatever it wants. Closing his eyelids again, his mind went back to what had happened yesterday in the deserted hall. The blood went up to his face as he thought back to what happens between him and Hibari. What are they now? Lovers? No… That's such a strong word for something that just started. But Hibari did claim that he has been holding feeling for Tsuna since a long time ago. So what is their relationship? Tsuna groan as his head hurts for thinking too much. Thinking back about the kiss, he smiled. A hand went up his pinkish lips as he blushed.
"Kyoya tastes like apple and cinnamon…" He whispered to himself and for himself to hear.
"Ora, ora, what is this I'm hearing, Tsunayoshi?" Tsuna jump up from his bed as he stared at the mix-match eyes at the corner of his room.
"M-Mukuro! What are you doing in my room?" Tsuna yelled as he pulls his blanket up to cover his body even though he was fully clothes. He still feels weird around Mukuro, like the man is going to sexually harassed him any seconds. Like what's he's doing right now. Mukuro was on the edge of the bed in a flash, now crawling toward Tsuna on four. The look on Mukuro's face tells him that's he's having fun. He groans when Mukuro's hand reached up to his face and pulls him closer. Tsuna closed his eyes and wish that this was another dream that he's having.
"My Tsunay-o-ow!" Mukuro back away when a small orange fluff of a ball went for his head. Poking its beak at his forehead and pulling on his spikes. Little birdie was mad that Mukuro was disturbing peace.
"Pineapple herbivore!" Another voice came up from his nightstand. Tsuna looked over and saw the yellow fluff ball sitting there. How did he not notice the bird this whole time? He thought that it went back to Hibari's side yesterday after the kis-
Tsuna's face bloom with many shades of red. Sitting up from his spot and moved away from the illusionist. Tsuna hid his blushed under his hand.
"I-I'll just go now… Wait! This is my room! W-What are you still doing here Mukuro! Get out!" Mukuro was still glaring that the yellow fluff ball that had been cruel and calling him names. With a warning growl, both head, excluding Tsuna's Tenpi, turns to looked at the male. Seeing the warning glare that Tsuna was directing to him, Mukuro give his signature laugh then disappear in the mist. Sighing at the wake up call he had, he turn to the closet and grab his uniform. Before turning into his female form, he looked at the mirror to see what meets him. His hair had grown longer; his hair has now passed his elbow now. The weird thing is that his untamable of a mop is still there. The long section of his hair at the base of his head makes it as if he has bunch of layers on top and a tail at the bottom. With another sigh, Tsuna went and turn into his female form, going back to his usual schedule.
Tsuna received a mission from Komui, saying that there is an innocent that was shown on the radar. He said that this might be a dangerous mission since that land surrounding the castle was hunted. There was an old story was told that there were once two kingdom. One was wealthy and strong while the other was weak and helpless. The prince of the strong kingdom fell in love with the princess of the other. They were deeply in love and the two kingdoms were to have a strong bond, but on the day of the wedding, something happened and everything fell apart. The prince went into depression and locked himself up in the highest tower like a damsel in distress. The king went into rage and declared war with the opposing kingdom, making the petite properties that the opposing kingdom own into a battlefield. The princess of the small kingdom flees for her life and leave behind those innocent lives to be slaughter into pieces. The grieves of the young princess had bestow her with death. A peaceful death with a small dagger through her heart. When stories about the princess reach the prince's ear, he beheaded himself in his chamber. The whole kingdom went into chaos with one question in minds, who will be the next heir? Sadly, that year, the kingdom was cursed by a witch with a deadly disease that killed million, leaving bodies behind to rot. After that crisis, no one had dared to take a step into that land, fearing that they might either get cursed or met the hunting ghost of the young princess. Those land where never to be mention or approached ever again, until today.
Tsuna groans. He hated myth and scary story. He was never one to go into a hunted house in the amusement park! I hope the legion is not true… And to add to the joy, I'm stuck with the two most emotionless people in the Order… Indeed Tsuna is stuck with the two, handsomely, emotionless Japanese men. They are now walking toward the dark and deserted castle. The whole walk through the Ark and to the castle was quiet. All you hear is whistling of the chilled wind, whispering to your ear, screaming you to go away. It brings chills down Tsuna's spine and goosebump all over his body. It is always dark around here, said Komui, he also said that it's due to the witch's curse, marking her properties that he cursed. Tsuna wish he could die there but somewhere that's not here. The castle wasn't that big but wasn't small either. It was covered with vines and dead trees. Tsuna can see a human skull sitting there at the entrance, covered in dusk and spider webs. Tsuna grab onto the hem of Hibari's shirt, walking close to the man. This brought the man to raise a brow at him. Tsuna just ignored the man's mock and continue on with being a scared girl. When they entered the main gate, it was covered with vines and seems that the screw needs some oiling. Tsuna pray to whoever that is up there that he doesn't have to continue this quest. Unfortunately for Tsuna, the gate opens itself. Tsuna squeak when the wind gushed and slammed onto their face, knocking them into shock. They stared at the pitch black and they can't see what's in front of them. They can't even see their hands! This is killing Tsuna, he doesn't know how Hibari and Kanda do it but this is killing him to the core.
"Please j-just go a-and get t-this over wi-with.." Tsuns stutters trying to keep calm. He didn't notice that one of them was smirking. Tsuna felt something touching his shoulder. He froze. Breathe in, and then out.
"Guys, this is not funny. Stoping tapping my shoulders." He said without turning around. He heard a 'tsk' from Kanda and he could hear Hibari smirking, again. Walking again down the dark hallway, they approached the ball room. Tsuna guessed it was big since he could hear echoes bouncing around the room when they entered. Tsuna kept walking, leading the group, being mafia boss kind of rubs off him sometime. Walking up further down the ball room, he felt a tap on his shoulders. He growl cause he just knew someone just thinks it's funny to piss the little girl off. He ignored it and kept walking. He notice that it's only his footsteps are to be heard. He stopped when there's another tap. He turned around and growl.
"What the heck do y-y…" The word died down his throat. He was standing in front of a beautiful woman. One with long gorgeous silver hair, pale skin, dark gray eyes, pale lips, transparent body. Tsuna scream on top of his lung like a girl he's suppose to be and fainted right where he was standing, in front of a ghost, who's holding a candle.
"Oh my." The ghost speaks.
When Tsuna woke up, he was laying on an old bed. It was comfy but something about it is off. Sitting up, he rubbing his eyes and tried to remember what happened when he fainted. Remembering him seeing a ghost, his face pale and looked around to comprehend and absorb his surrounding. The room looked old and dusty, cold from the small creak of the windows; the wall had loose its color. What the heck is going on and where's Hibari and Kanda? As if to answer his question, the door opens and entered the to men. How they had not slaughter each other, Tsuna doesn't know. It seems that they went to look around the castle for innocent. Tsuna looked at them for an explanation. Kanda answered for the first time in the whole trip.
"Can't find the location of the innocent, it seem like a fault alarm." He proclaim as he lean against the wall. Hibari seem to be looking around the room, as if finding something.
"I guess we should leave then…" Tsuna said as he got off the now warm bed. He felt a cold wind trying to push him down, Tsuna froze, and he can felt Hibari's and Kanda's eyes on him, no, something in front of him. He looked up and saw the same face he saw before. The perfect frame of the young woman who is a ghost! Tsuna jumped back and scream. The girl flinched back and places a hand over her mouth like a total gentle lady.
Hibari and Kanda was at Tsuna side in a flash, staring at the woman as they both somewhat let out a growl.
I-I apologize for scaring you… The ghost speaks to them. She seem like she's sorry so they calm down, but not their guard. They stared at her and Hibari was brave enough to ask.
"Who are you herbivore?" The woman frowns and took a step back before bow slightly.
Pardon my rudeness for not introducing myself, I am Albeit De Aichulonion, Pprincess of Demilion Kingdom. Pleasure of meet you all. The princess gave a glowing smile like a flower, if she was alive that is. Tsuna tried to calm down his heart when the princess was introducing herself. It's not everyday you see a ghost. A ghost… The hunted ghost! Tsuna grab the closest hand and cling onto it.
"Y-you're the princess that hunted the battle field?" Tsuna asked as the same question ran to Hibari's and Kanda's mind.
Yes and no… I am the not hunting this place and not hunting the battle field, there was none to start with... Say, I heard you were in searching for something important. I may have what you need.
Tsuna stared at the woman. So she claims that she had the innocent and that part of the legion was a lie? Is that possible?
"We want the innocent and you will hand it to us." Kanda, the impatience one. Kanda moved away from his spot next to Tsuna and he notice that he was holding the other's hand. Ooops, nice job Tsuna.
Kanda stalks over to the ghost; man got balls, and glared at her. She disperses into mist and was gone. Kanda cursed and stared around for the woman. Hibari and Tsuna looked around too, and then suddenly, the princess was in front of Tsuna, holding something close to her chest. Tsuna gasp and then cursed under his breath, he hate it when someone just appear out of no where like that.
I-I do have the thing that you desire and I'll give it to you in one condition. The princess said as she looked at Tsuna. Tsuna nodded slightly then she smiled.
I want you to listen to the real story that happened here. The real legion that take place here hundreds of years ago… You don't have to tell anyone; just the three of you is enough for me to rest in peace. And who can denied a those puppy eyes that a gorgeous princess was displaying. Feeling hypnotized, Tsuna nodded. The princess beam and then direct Tsuna to sit on one of the couch next to the fireplace and the princess sat across from him.
This won't take long so please listen carefully… Tsuna nodded and did not notice when the two Japanese went and sat on the couch next to him. He brought his womanly leg up to his feminine chest while his girly arm wrapped around his leg. The princess smile and one flick of a finger, the fireplace was lit with, well, fire.
It was long ago, when I was just 15 years old, my father came to my chamber. He told me that I was to marry a young prince of the neighboring kingdom. At first, I hated the idea, I rue the day that I was born in a royal family, to have to go through the humiliation to marry a Prince of all thing. I wanted to find love and live with the person I love. I hated my parent for that, so I ran away a few days before I had to meet the prince. I did not want to fight with my parents; it's in my name to have peace, so I ran away from my family matters, away from the battle field with my mother and father.
The princess sighs as she looked deep into the fire, recollecting the good memories of her past.
Then I met him. A young boy who's as clueless about people as I. At first I thought that he's a traveler from a different country or something. He and I spent our time playing and laughing. For my whole 15 years of living, I've never laugh as much as I did before. Sometime I had to run away or avoid the guard that's patrolling around the towns; I stayed at my kingdom because I met him there. He asked me why I'm running away and I always say, they're after me for my money. He doesn't seem to believe that but didn't ask farther, he also offer to pay my debt if I wanted. Of course I said no, I didn't want to be a burden on him.
"Get on with it princess…" Kanda intrude and Tsuna slap him on his arm, yes, very girly.
S-sorry… Well, I asked him what he is doing here in a poor country. He said that he had something to do here for his parent. He also said that he has to pick up a flower that was to be trade with gold and protection. I didn't get what he means but didn't ask. He also asked me why I'm doing here. I said that I'm ran from my home because my parent force me into marriage. He said, 'Oh, I understand what you mean, but it's not nice to leave them alone. I love my parent because they raise me up to be who I am. I can't really blame them if they want me to marry, I mean, that will be the last thing they wanted from me, to marry and had children. Carry the family line or something like that. But you should go home with your parent.' After he said that, tears were falling down from my face and I knew that I had to leave him for my parent. I bid him goodbye and I ran back home. My parent was glad that I've come to the decision to marry the prince that I was to be with for the rest of my life for the kingdom's sake. I felt dead but I didn't complain, because I knew that the boy in the street will be proud of me if I do so. So I bite my tongue and went to meet the prince. I was supposed to meet the prince the next afternoon but the prince was late. I was in my best gown, hair neat, make up on my face, and with a mask on. I was to marry this man and I have to bear it for my parent, for this kingdom. So when I met the prince, I couldn't help but to have tears rolling down my cheek. The young lad, the young lad from the street was the prince. Our marriage went on after that. The prince hadn't known anything about this; he mentions that my kingdom was fascinating with interesting people. He also said that he met this one person in the street that he had so much fun with. He looked so nice and happy. I had no objection to this marriage, not that I had to power to do so. He fell in love with me and so did I. Our marriage was taken place in this beautiful church, full of flowers and birds. The prince was being so honest to me and I was keeping from him that the person in the street was me. So on our wedding day, I told him.
The princess chuckled.
You know what I did? I showed him. I did this.
The princess stood up and stared at Tsuna. With a smile on her face, her hand reached up to her hair and pulled it down. When the wig was off, her gown seems to change as well, she ends up wearing a button down shirt and pants like long ago. The princess was a prince! The three stared in shock, well Hibari and Kanda hid it but they were in shock.
I told him that I was the young boy who spent time with him in the street. The young boy who had his heart stolen by him, who he was to marry the next day. Of course he was in shocked. He stared at me as if everything would go back to the way it is when he stared hard enough. Heheh, well, that didn't happened so he fainted. Somehow I knew that our marriage was to end there, it was a risk I had to take to be honest with him. I lost the chance to be with him for life. So I left him there and went to my chamber. Crying my eyes out until dawn. That day of the marriage, I wore my wedding gown and stood at the top step of the alter, waiting for him. I knew that he won't come but I still waited. To show my people that I had failed them, that he will soon finds out that I'm a male anyway. That we're doomed. I prayed that this will be over soon and God answer my pray. The church door opens and a man came in. He was standing there and staring at me. I bit my bottom lip and looked at him. 'What is he doing here? Did he come back for me?' I kept asking myself. He walked up to the alter and grabbed both of my gloved hand. He said his part of the marriage speech and kissed my hand. He said he was sorry that he was late. Tears was on the verge of spilling out as I stared at him and spoken my speech of the day. I wanted him but I question if he remembers what happened the day before. When Father announce us and bound us together, he kissed me with all the passion he had and I knew by that kissed, that he truly love me for who I am. Not my gender or if I can bear him a child. He said he doesn't care as long as he had me by his side. That was the best day of my life and I want someone to know the truth of the story. And I thank you for listening.
The three exorcists stared at the now prince. Looking at him as if he's joking. Tsuna was the first to snapped out of his daze.
"W-Wait, so there's no war and disease?"
There was, that's how it killed all my people… But there's no witch though. The disease came from the rats.
Tsuna tried to swallow all of the information that was given to him. So there's no princess, but a prince. No war, but a wedding. The unwanted disease and there is a disease. Tsuna stared at Hibari and he looks like he doesn't care while Kanda looked bored. Tsuna stared back at the prince and gasp.
Heheh, well then. I guess I should give you what you came here for in the first place. The prince threw the innocent at Kanda with such manly manners. The other grunt as if accepting the prince. Why isn't the other two surprised?
You know, Tsunayoshi, you should just go and show them the truth. The ghost smiled at him. He stared at the prince as if he's crazy. Kanda raise a brow and looked at Tsuna. Hibari just smirked.
"W-What are you talking about?" Tsuna fidgets. He doesn't want to know what the prince is talking about.
You know what I'm talking about… And so is that short hair, lack of emotion, Asian guy.
The prince pointed at Hibari with a smirk, Hibari was going to smirk back but instead he said, "I'll bite you to death ghost." The prince chuckled at that but then walks over to Tsuna.
We're the same.
As he said that, the prince went and broke the illusion earring on Tsuna's left ear, breaking the female illusion right in front of the other two. Tsuna's felt his body ache. When the illusion was destroyed, his body grew back to its natural size, male size. His shoulders were broader, his chest is flat, his curve is gone, and his neck grews, his hip smaller, his arms grew, and his feet grew. He yelps in pain, Hibari went forward and unbutton his shirt and threw off his boot. Kanda stood there and watched. What the heck is going on?
Tsuna was now gasping for air as he lean against Hibari for supports; he now wished he had pants. The skirt is uncomfortable. He felt like he's forgetting something. He looked up at the prince as he prince looked at something behind Tsuna and Hibari. Oh holy hell. Kanda! He turned around as quick as possible and seeing a wide eyes and pale Kanda. He was gripping on his Mugen as if his life depends on it. He could see fire in the other's eyes.
"K-Kanda please listens!" The man growl and storm out of the room. Tsuna wanted to follow the man but was stop the strips of clothes he had on. What can he do? He can't turn back into a girl anymore and now he had no clothes what so ever. Can it get any worst than this? The prince walks over to his closet and took out some old clothes that hadn't been used. It looks new but Tsuna doesn't care. Kanda is now on a rampage and he's the one at fault! He grabs the clothes and thanks the man even though he's the one that blow his secret. Oh, he forgot that Hibari was staring at him too… He bow at the ghost and ran after the samurai. Hibari ran after Tsuna after glaring at the prince.
Tsuna found Kanda outside of the castle, calling for the Ark to open. His face was red from anger and if looks could kill. Tsuna approached the man, walking slowly so he doesn't trigger any bomb. But it seems that the bomb was self-destructs. Kanda swirl around and faced Tsuna, he gave Tsuna a punch on the face. He deserves that.
"You're a freaking guy and you didn't tell me? What do you think I am? A freaking thing to play with?" He grab Tsuna's collar and shook him a few times.
"You just freaking lie to everyone! Even the evil bean sprout! I hate you, I hate you, I hate you!" And with that, Tsuna was out of Kanda's grip.
"Stop strangling him or he'll die barnacle." Hibari held a distress Tsuna against his chest. Holding the other cold body against his.
" He's a guy, so what? There's nothing wrong with him being a guy. He has his reason for cross dressing." Hibari glared at the barnacle. Said barnacle glared back.
"Oh? And what's the stupid reason?" He knew that it's not his business to ask but he did anyway.
"It's not my story to tell you, you have to wait for him to tell you." My, isn't Hibari talkative. Kanda glared at the boy against Hibari's chest.
"This better be good." Kanda glares at Tsuna and Tsuna glance up at Kanda, then he fainted.
"Say, you did a good job Mikuno." Said a quiet, high pitch voice.
"I did my best as I can. It's not everyday that I got a mission from you. So how you think he's doing?" Mikuno asked as he looked out of the window. Staring at the trio who's going through the Ark, one is unconscious. The other sip his tea and grin.
"He'll be fine. He's my student after all." An evil chuckle was emitted.
"Oii, Reborn, isn't that a little too harsh?" Mikuno asked. The infant shook his head.
"No, it's not. As I told you, He's my student after all. I'm not letting his having all the fun." Reborn smirks as he pet Leon on the head. A chills went down Mikuno's spine. Thank the lord he's not stuck with Reborn as a tutor.
"Anyway, your illusion was perfect. I think Hibari figure it out but didn't say anything. I think he's enjoying this as well." Reborn chuckled. Mikuno just grinned nervously.
"So... You made up the story? Of the ghost prince and everything? You got this place set up pretty well." He looked at the little infant. Reborn looked up emotionless.
"What are you talking about? This is a real castle and the story I told you to tell Baka-Tsuna is true. There's no lie in this." Blood was drain from Mikuno's face as he stared at the infant. When he felt something chilly next to him, he turn slowly, very slowly and met a smiling couple. Transparent and everything. They were holding hand and grinning at him. He shorter male looked at him and grinned.
You sure got my personality right, didn't he love? The younger male looked at the taller male. The taller male smile and nodded.
Right down to the bone, you could posses him if he looked like you, love. With that, Mikuno fainted at the spot. The couple chuckled and looked at Reborn with thankful looks.
We thank you for doing our last wishes, Reborn. Now we can rest in peace. The couple turn into dusk but their spirit was still lingering around.
Oh, and I hope that young boy will figure out his answer. The voice said before it finally depart from this world. Reborn smirk and pet Leon again.
"Of course, he will. He is Baka-Tsuna after all." Reborn chuckled as he sip his tea.
