Chapter 6: Arriving Dino!
Today, I was walking home from school when I suddenly got attacked by….Bugs. Not just any bugs, but dragonflies. They are swarming my face, making it hard to see. They were Reborn's messenger dragonflies, I wonder what he wants.
"Hmm….uh huh…yeah….Tsuna's house….okay…I'll be righ-Gawk! Get out of my mouth you stupid bug! Eww dragonfly juice…" Shooing the bugs off my face, I begin to jog toward Tsuna's house.
A few feet away from his house, I could see a figure, make that figures, standing outside of his house. Slowing down, I hide myself around the corner and took a peak. From where I was hiding I could make out around 15-20 men in black suits.
I frown a bit, not liking that so many men were standing out in the open like that. From the way they are dress I guess that they're part of the mafia. That just makes me frown even more. Those men shouldn't be out of the open like that. It could be too dangerous for them. What kind of leaders would let their followers be out like that? It's like they want people to come over and kill them. Better yet, they should just get a big sign saying "We're from the Mafia, come and get us!" and get it over with.
I take my eyes off of them for a moment and scan the area to see if there's any danger. Seeing that the coast is clear, I casually got out of hiding and walk up to the group.
Standing beside one of the nearest one, I tap him on the shoulder. He turns around and looks down at me. "What is it…Sir?" He asked, scanning my body.
"I'm here to see Tsuna and….. Reborn." Before he could say anything, we heard shouts and saw a person with blonde hair jumping out of Tsuna's window. Looking at the person closely, I've found out that it was Dino, Reborn's previous apprentice. My, how he had grown, I wonder if he's still the clumsy person he was before.
I watch as he took out his whip in mid-air and use it to chucks some grenade up into the sky, far enough so that the explosion won't damage anything or anyone. Once he had landed, his followers start praising him and telling him how it was one of his antics again. I smile slightly at their bond they have. That's when I look up to see that Tsuna and Reborn was at his window. "Oi Tsuna!" I hollered. Everyone's attention was now on me.
"Y-Yuki! What are you doing here?"
"Reborn send me a message to come over." Moving my gaze over to the crowd of men in black, I ask, "Can you let me through now?"
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
"So whose is this Reborn?" Dino asked. We were all inside Tsuna's room, talking about things. Dino's men had already left, leaving Dino behind to be taken care of by Tsuna and Reborn.
"Dino, this is Yuki. He too is part of the Mafia." Reborn introduced.
"Really now, what family are you in?"
"None really, I'm just a loner that help Reborn and the Vongola." I replied.
"He's a hitman too Dino. I'm surprise that you haven't heard of him. I thought everyone knows about him in the mafia world." Tsuna said.
"Really? He's that famous? Why haven't I heard of him yet then?"
"That because he goes by a different name," Reborn said while I calmly sip my tea, "He goes by the name Eclipse the Death Angel."
"Oh! Haha, so he goes by the name Eclipse the Dea- WHAT!" Dino shouted fainting on the spot.
"Waa! Dino-san!" Tsuna yelled.
"Hmm, guess the shock had gotten to him."
"What happen to him Reborn?"
"He fainted from shock from finding out that Yuki was the same person who had helped me in training him."
"Yeah, I guess he couldn't believe that I was THE Eclipse, the one that had been helping Reborn in training him. I mean once in a while Reborn would let me train him and I guess my training was that difficult to do or something. I mean falling unconscious every hour is not that bad right?" I said casually while Tsuna sweat drop and laugh nervously. We soon hear a moan and turn to see that Dino was waking up again.
"Urg….I had the strangest dream. I dreamt that Eclipse was here talking to me."
"That because he is."
"AAAHHH!"
"If you faint again, I will kill you." I threatened. Dino gulped nervously before turning his attention back to Reborn. "So Reborn, he's the real thing?"
"Yup and he is actually a she. Eclipse is a girl."
"What!" Dino shouted, fainting again. Guess someone is going to die today.
After 'knocking out' Dino and 'asked nicely' for him to keep my gender a secret, he was invited to stay over for today, while I was invited to stay over for dinner. I couldn't refuse a free dinner, especially when it was Nana's cooking. So I agreed to stay for dinner with them. I had been eating alone at my house most of the time, except the part when Hibari would sometime come over, so it's nice to eat with others from time to time.
"Itadakimasu!" we all said then start digging in. The table we sat at includes Reborn, Dino, Tsuna, I-pin, Lambo and I. I was happily eating my dinner while listening to the conversation.
"So, ask me anything, my cute sworn brother." Dino said to Tsuna.
"Erm…" Tsuna said not knowing what to say, but he had a small blush on his face. He might have liked that Dino had taking a liking to Tsuna, but I think he's still against joining the mafia. Oh well, we just have to convince him or otherwise we will have to force him, but that will be our last resort. Too bad, I like the forcing part.
"Oh yeah," Dino said suddenly remembering something, "do you have a family yet, Tsuna?"
"Right now, there are Gokudera, Yamamoto and Yuki." Reborn replied for Tsuna, "Also a few candidates: Hibari Kyoya, Sasagawa Ryouhei, and….."
"They are just my friends and seniors!" Tsuna interrupted, "But why did you come to a person like me, Reborn? You seemed to be doing just fine with Dino-san."
"Vongola is the center of our allied families." Dino replied, "That's why it gets priority above all others in every aspect."
"EEH!? The Vongola is that influential!?"
"That's right." Reborn said while I nod my head in agreement.
"Oh Dino-kun," Nana said as she walks up to us, "My, my you spilled your food…" I look over to see that she was telling the truth. His food was spilled everywhere.
"Without his men, Dino only functions half as well." I explained while sighing. Guess he is still the clumsy person I know.
"Huh?!" Tsuna said. Reborn start explaining it more for Tsuna while I silently nibble on my food.
"Saying stuff like that again, Reborn…. You really want Tsuna to believe that?" Dino said, "It's just because I usually use forks and knives so I can't use chopsticks very well."
"I-I see," Tsuna said, "That must be it!"
"No Tsuna, don't listen to him. He really can't function well without his men. Only when he's with his men were when he can function well." I stated bluntly, not liking that he was not believing what Reborn had told him. I mean, Reborn knows a lot about the mafia, so his words should not be taken lightly.
"I'll prepare the bath for you." Nana said while leaving.
"Thanks." Dino said.
"Geez, don't tell lies." Tsuna told Reborn.
"It's not a lie." Reborn said while I scowl at Tsuna. How could he even think that Reborn was lying? Now I am more irritated at Tsuna than before at that moment.
"Kyaaaah!" A voice screamed.
"It's Nana!" I said standing up.
"Mom!" Tsuna shouted.
"What happened!?" Dino yelled while he too stood up, but trip and face planted to the ground.
"Are you okay?" Tsuna asked.
"I stepped on my own foot…" Dino said.
"Huh?"
"You see, he's really a klutz." Reborn said.
"Told you so." I muttered.
"In the tub, in the tuuuuub!" Nana yelled as she runs in. I immediately ran to the bathroom with Tsuna behind me. Opening the door, I found a larger version of Enzio eating the tub.
"U-unbelievable…" Tsuna yelled.
"That's Enzio, when did he escape?" Dino questioned.
"This is the turtle from before!" Tsuna shouted. Reborn starts explaining things to him about how Enzio is a sponge turtle and how he will grow when he touches water. While I stand to the side, not wanting to get involve. I-pin got into position and tries to defeat the turtle by using her gyozaken, but it got deflected.
"Gyozaken isn't working!?" cried Tsuna.
"Turtles can hold their breath for a long time." Reborn explained.
"Stay back," Dino said stepping in front of us and getting out his whip, "Nobody interfere. It will be a disgrace for the Cavallone Famiglia if their 10th boss can't even take care of his own pet."
"Dino-san!"
"Don't," I whispered, "you'll just make it worse."
"Calm down Enzio!" Dino yelled while attacking, but it didn't get even near his target. The whip hit Tsuna instead.
"Sorry! I slipped!" Dino apologized.
"Do you understand now?" I asked crossing my arms and arching my eyebrow.
"He's not fully himself when his men aren't around." Reborn finished. Enzio, seeing that we are doing nothing, start chowing down on the bath tub.
"Hiiieee! The bathtub…!" cried Tsuna.
"Stop it, Enzio." yelled Dino, as he attempted to stop Enzio again, but instead of hitting Enzio, he hit Tsuna, Lambo, and I-pin.
"Sorry! Are you alright?" Dino said.
Seeing how nothing is getting done, I got annoyed at them. So I snatch Leon from Reborn and said, "I'm sorry Reborn, but I'm going to borrow Leon for a bit."
Reborn nod while I throw Leon onto Tsuna's face making him shape shift into one of Dino's men.
Dino saw this and shout, "You're here, Romario!? I thought you went back with the others!" Poor Tsuna was confused in all of this.
"Idiot! Stay back and leave this to me!" Dino yelled then start attacking. The whip, whipped around the ceiling lamp and then around the turtle's neck. With a tug on his whip, Dino pull Enzio out of the water.
Searching around the cupboard, I found a hair blower and start to dry Enzio so that he could get back to his normal size. After that, I scold Dino a bit, scaring him slightly, before I said goodbye and walk home.
