( Frustrations )
" Boys, I am very displeased with your actions. Not only have you been sneaking behind my back to spy on the earthbound family members but your guardians also caused a mess that almost ended up with Tsukuyomi declaring war on the Vongolas." the Vongola ninth said in a stern voice from the monitor. Once he got word of what the twins were doing he immediately contacted them.
Both twins flinched " Sorry grandfather..." Tetsua started.
" But we were just worried about you." Tsurugi added.
Timoteo sighed " I am very capable of handling myself if something happens. I may be old, but I still can defend myself."
" We are sorry." both twins bowed.
The old man couldn't stay angry with them for long " It's fine boys. Just give Tsuna and the other their space." he then turned serious " And I'm afraid I got some bad news. My son, Xanxus, is getting restless and he won't wait for us to return to Italy to start the ring battles. So..." he took a moment to compose himself " I'm sorry to say that the ring battles will take place in the school you have been attending."
" WHAT!!?" both shouted.
" But grandfather! We can't fight on the school, there are people's life to consider!" the brunet said.
" Plus the Earthbound wouldn't like it to have the school they go to being the battle grounds for our business." the blond finished.
The ninth nodded " True. However, the battle will take place at night were no people will get hurt or involved. In addition, I already talk with Tsukuyomi about it and we've come to an agreement that we could do so as long as we cover the damages done to the school." he looked sadden for a moment " I'm sorry boys, but the battles will start tomorrow. Prepare your guardians for the event and I wish you luck." with that he turned the communications off.
Tsurugi growled " That Xanxus always has to ruin everything!"
Tetsua nodded " I really wanted to know who this Tsunayoshi person is, but it'll have to wait. Come on bro, we need to tell everyone to get ready." with that both boys left.
The following day, on another part of Nanimori, Tsuna and Tsukuyomi were in the hidden base training room, or one of them that is. They were the only ones in the room, which made the brunet blush lightly, since the others were training in different room. Ikaru, and Zeo, joined the family and was pleased to be learning to control his flames, he says that his techniques are more effective with them. Back to the two, the raven was worried about Tsuna's safety since he was the only one that didn't have a weapon.
" Tsuna-kun due to events of the freezer on school grounds I decided it's time for you to use..." he said as he pulled out a pair of objects " ...these!!" he grinned happily.
Tsuna blinked with an owlish look " Tsu-kun....those are a pair of mittens."
" Yep!" he said grinning.
" Yeah...how should I put this...ok here it goes." he took a breath " HAVE YOU COMPLETELY LOST YOUR MIND!!!?" he shouted making the raven struggle to remain on his spot.
Tsukuyomi rubbed his ears " True Tsuna, they may not look like much but put them on." he passed the mittens to the brunet who sighed and put them on. The raven grinned " Now, think fast!!" he said as he threw a knife toward the brunet.
Tsuna gasped as he raised his arms to block. The knife hit one of the mittens but was repelled by it. " W-What!?" Tsuna looked at the mittens in astonishment.
" Now go into hyper dying will mode with the mittens on." the read eye boy said with a smirk.
Tsuna did so and soon the sky flames appeared on his forehead. He took a look at the mitten only to see that he had metal gloves on with an X on the back. " Tsu-kun...what are these?" the brunet said with his calm voice but with wide eyes.
" These, Tsuna, are called the X-gloves. They're Vongola type weapons I got from Timoteo as an apology for the events of...you know. They are weapons that closely resembled the one that the Vongola Primo used, so they're very rare. These gloves can also manifest your flames better, and while fighting they become like hot iron when surrounded with your flames." the raven explained.
Tsuna frowned " Vongola...weapons?" he sighed. He really didn't want anything from the Vongolas, but the raven had high expectation of him. Tsuna blushed in his dying will mode thinking on how to impress the raven, well these will have to do. Summoning his flames to surround his hands he definitely notice the heat coming from them. He tested them out by moving around, punching the air, and testing some combos.
" Impressive, Tsuna-kun." he winked making the boy blushed " Ok, now I will teach you to fly with them. Tsuna gather your flames in your hands and then released them by pointing at the ground. Remember, to fly you'll need to gather more flames, lets see what you got."
Tsuna nodded as he gather his flames and both palm were facing the ground. He felt the energy building and suddenly released it. Tsuna suddenly disappeared making the raven look with wide eyes before he heard a scream and a crashing sound and looked up. Tsuna was slammed against the sealing grimacing in pain. " Gah...that will leave a bruise tomorrow." he hissed.
" Hm...we're going to need practice on that" it was all the raven said.
Both worked on Tsuna's flying, developing techniques, and such for hours. Once they both thought it was enough they gather they're belongings and went home. Shin and Sky both went to their apartments for the time being, Misty was at her own place like always, and Ikaru was at his so they had the house all to themselves because Kasumi went to visit one of her relative and wouldn't be back for at least three days.
The two were currently watching a movie on the couch, or one of them anyways. Tsuna was currently stealing glances at the young raven next to him, he couldn't help it. How could he? The boy beside his had a good built, not too much or little, he looked normal. Those captivating red eyes, the lazy smile of those soft lips, that tanned skin, and not to mention how said skin felt even when they were training. The brunet couldn't help but blush and look away to the screen, he had a crush on the raven. He couldn't help it.
'How I wish I could be more than a friend to him.' he thought sadly.
After the movie both boys notice the time and went to Tsuna's room, where Kasumi was nice enough to buy an extra bed for Tsukuyomi since Tsuna's room was so big, so they both fit perfectly. Pretty soon the raven felled into a peaceful slumber but Tsuna stayed awake. He was looking at the sleeping form of the other boy letting a sigh go. He really couldn't help it, he liked his best friend, a lot. But every time he comes close to telling the raven how he felt he always chicken out at the end.
Tears began to fall ' As if he would ever like me.' he thought sadly. ' There are many people who are willing to be by his side, and who am I? Just a stupid coward loser trying to get his attention. He will never be mine. I wish he loved me back. Why can't I be good enough for him!' he thought angrily as he furiously wiped the tears away, but they still came running down his face. He gave up and went into uneasy slumber.
Tsukuyomi usually is a light sleeper, even the drop of a needle could wake him up at any place. But when he is at Tsuna's house he feels at ease and becomes a really heavy sleeper. Usually if he's not waken for school the boys throw cold water to wake him up, he really hated cold water. But there were certain thing that always woke him up no matter what, like Tsuna's whimpering.
The raven heard it again and open his drowsy eyes " Tsuna?" he looked at the other bed and saw the other brunet tossing and turning, tears running down his face. Without thinking the raven stood up from his bed in his black pajamas and sat at the edge of the other bed right next to Tsuna. He laid his hand on the brunet's face and began to caress it slowly. Tsuna whimpering slowly stopped and the tears began to died down as he leaned into the touch, unconsciously wrapping his arms around the raven waist like sighing happily. The raven chuckled " Someday...someday I'll be able to tell you how much you mean to me Tsuna." he chuckled again " Who would've thought that a powerful mafia boss would be afraid to admit his feeling for the ones they most care."
He tried to stand up but Tsuna tighten his hold and began to whimper. The raven boy sighed before he laid next to the brunet, comfortably might one say, and went to sleep as well. Morning came soon and Tsuna was the first to wake up as he notice he was resting on something warm and comfortable. When he fully opened his eyes he notice that his head was resting on the raven chest. He blushed but couldn't hold the scream that came out. " HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!! Tsu-kun!? What are you doing here?" he asked with his mouth wide opened.
The raven yawned, but was able to hear the question " Well Tsuna-kun I woke up at night hearing you tossing and turning while you whimpered. I went to check up on you and you wrapped you arms around me and didn't let go. So I slept here." he explained leaving out the part where he caressed said boy.
Tsuna blush deepened " Oh, sorry. Um...anyways we better get ready for school."
Tsukuyomi nodded and both got ready to school, eat some breakfast, and left. Once they reach their school they were greeted by their friends with the look of worry. " Tsuna-kun, Tsukuyomi-kun there is something weird going on here."
The raven was expecting that " Ah, what happened here?"
" Our spot at the roof top had been closed do to some minor damage." Misty answered.
" Hm, let's go check it out." Tsunayoshi said leading the group behind the school on a spot that was directly below their usual hanging place. Everyone looked around to make sure no one was looking and once they were sure they jumped high into the air and landed on the roof. " Wha...What happened here!?" the brunet shouted looking at the damaged roof.
Ikaru inspected the place " It seems there was a struggle. I can tell there were more people involved but only two were fighting."
The raven sighed " I guess it started then." The others gave him a confuse look.
" What are you saying Tsukuyomi-kun? You know what happened here?" Sky asked.
Tsukuyomi nodded " You see our school have become the battle grounds for the Vongolas ring battle. See, Xanxus has become impatient and couldn't wait to take the Vongola rings and become the new Vongola tenth. It was either this or a full out battle involving people. The ninth talk with me about this a few days ago and I agreed to let them do so if it took place at night where innocent people wouldn't be involved and they payed for the damages."
" Looks like the scarred man couldn't wait for competing for the title, which is a little suspicious." Shin said in thought.
The raven nodded " I agree. There is something behind that man's intentions than what he is letting them to believe. Tonight we go and see one of their match."
Everyone nodded and left the roof top before anyone could spot them. For them school went as well as it could have gone, there was no trace of the twins anywhere giving them a break which aloud them the breath at ease. Soon nightfall came and the group arrived at school grounds. They were approaching the gates when two women with long pink hair jumped in front of them blocking their way.
" Halt! No ones aloud to pass." one of them said.
" Please turn around and leave before we take extreme measures." the other one finished.
The raven stood in front of them with his group behind him, his eyes were closed " Sorry, but we are going in and you won't do a thing about it." the two women two a step back in preparation " In fact..." he opened his eyes revealing black pinwheels designs on them around the red pupil, his eyes were glowing eerily " ...you won't remember even seeing us."
The two women looked dazed and nodded slowly before walking away. " What did you do?" Ikaru asked in awe.
The raven closed his eyes and they returned to their normal form " Oh. I just trapped them in an illusion. Don't worry by morning they'll snap out of it and remember nothing of us being here. Now come on."
The group continue to a certain part of the roof were lightning rods were ticking out in plain sight. " I'll handle this." Misty said as her hands began to be surrounded by violet flames. She knelled to the ground and touched it. Seconds later a tree with violet colored leafs grew from the spot she touched and reach the hight perfectly.
The group took different branches but all of them could see fine and no one suspected anything. The raven turned to the model " Great job Misty, your abilities has sky rocket through the roof."
Misty smiled " Ah, it was easy."
They started watching and it appeared to be a battle with the lightning guardians. There was one who was using umbrellas to shoot lightning with an afro and a black uniform. He was struggling against the other one who had a long brown coat and a pair of horns on his head and he was winning the fight. However, the was a poof of pink smoke and the man was replaced with a small infant in a cow suit with a giant afro.
" W-What happened there!" Shin asked in astonishment.
The raven kept on watching and spotted a bazooka not to far away from the infant " So, the rumors were true." he said as everyone turned to him " They say that there is a family which created a weapon called the 10 year bazooka. If a person is hit with said weapon that person will be send ten years into the future while the older version of that person is sent into the present time in order to avoid meeting with his path self and vice-versa. But it also has a timer, and it looks like the poor kid's time had run out."
" Hey look the twins interfered with the match!" Sky said.
The group heard the pink hair woman declaring an instant disqualification for interfering with the match, so not only the infant, who's name was reveal to be Lambo, lost the match and his ring, but the twins also lost their halve leaving it in possession of Xanxus. The man laughed victoriously as the group heard the man said " Killed them all!" At that order the present members of the Varia attacked the surprised looking Vongolas, but none of them made two their targets as they were all hit backed.
In front of the Vongolas stood Tsuna in his dying will mode hovering in the air, eying the Varia group with a glare. The Vongolas looked stunned at seeing someone in hyper dying will mode for only the twins could do that. Xanxus growled at the site of him " What the hell are you doing here!? This is a private affair between the brats and us!!" he then smirk " Outside interference will cost them the match, which means we win."
Tsuna grunted as he crossed his arms " Could have fooled me. However, you yourself broke a major rule Xanxus. By deciding to kill the opposing team before the competition is over cost you the match as well." he smirked " It's in the rules." he turned toward one of the women in the area.
The cervelo nodded " It is correct. Both teams will be disqualified and the rings will be taken away from both parties."
" So your only choice is to call of your attack, hand over the half of your ring, and play fair and square. Or loose your ambition right here, right now." Tsuna's smirked
Xanxus growled in hatred before he separated his ring and threw the half to the twins, who quickly caught it. Xanxus then smirked " You know Sawada Tsunayoshi, I am almost disappointed you are not the one I'll have to fight. Maybe on another occasion."
Tsuna nodded " Sure." he said as the scarred man and his team left the area.
Tsuna turned to the rest of the Vongolas. The twins were still surprise to see their target right in front of them in hyper dying will mode. Orange eyes stared at orange eyes. Tsurugi was the one to break the silence, looking shy " Um...thanks for that."
" Even thou you nearly cost us the competition." Tesua said while he glared at the brunet. Tsurugi glared at his brother, clearly not getting the situation. He always was the most hotheaded of the two.
" Don't thank me Vongolas. I was doing this for the school, the damage of said fight would've destroyed the place." his eyes harden but Tsurugi could tell he was lying " Make no mistake, I don't like your family at all, but I won't let irrational feelings cloud my judgment." he then took into the air, hovering above the group " Try not to make such a mess for the Ninth to clean up...and beware of Xanxus. That man is clearly hiding something."
" Wait!! How the hell can you use hyper dying will mode!!?" Tetsua shouted, only silence answered him. He growled " Answer or I'll..."he started to threaten but was cut off.
" Brother, that's enough!!" the blond shouted at his brother making the other to stared him with wide eyes. He then turned to Tsuna " Ok, we'll keep an eye on things." Tsuna gave them a little smile before he disappeared from view.
Tetsua turned to his brother with anger in his expression " What the hell Tsurugi!!? Why did you just let him get away!!?" he shouted.
Tsurugi turned to his brother and glared " Don't you go shouting at me! We clearly would've been in a mess if he hadn't intervene. We let our self believe that the Varia would follow the rules and look what happened. We nearly got ambushed by them. He save us, whether he admits it or not, plus he gave us a warning." he then stared at where the older brunet used to be " There is more to this battle than what Xanxus is letting us to believe. Let just go home and prepare ourself for tomorrow night."
The brunet huffed but nodded in agreement and the entire group left. Tsuna made it back to their hideout, the tree, and got surrounded by his friends praising him. The raven smirked at the brunet " I can't believe you went out and saved your brothers. Not to mention you hid it well and threaten Xanxus of loosing his right to be Vongola tenth. You definitely will be a great boss for our mafia! Good job Tsuna!!" he said while he put his arms around the brunet shoulders making him blush from the gesture.
" Sure thing Tsu-kun. But we better get out of here before the Cervelos find us, since they already saw me." the brunet said.
The raven nodded before he turned to the model " Misty."
" Already on it." she said as a huge rose engulfed the entire group and burying itself underground.
( Italy )
" Reborn...are you absolutely sure about this information?" Timoteo asked within the monitor.
The little mafioso nodded " Ah, I just confirm with both Nana and Iemitsu. They have confess that they had a son before the twins and his name is Sawada Tsunayoshi. Because of the illness he had they abandon him thinking that he wouldn't live for long and wouldn't be able to be part of the family. According to them, they regretted their decision and returned to the hospital to get him back, but it was too late. Tsunayoshi was place in an unknown orphanage. They tried to find him but after a while they thought they lost him, two years later they had the twins. As you can see Ninth, Tsunayoshi is a part of our family, he is a Vongola."
The old man sighed " I can't believe this happened under our watch. No wonder they were trying so hard to hide his past. I could also feel a little anger toward us from said boy, this explains why."
" What are your orders ninth? Our rules say is that we never leave a family member behind, but seeing the circumstances..."
The ninth nodded " I will discuss this with the other higher ups and come with a decision on what to do with my other grandson. Reborn..." the alcobareno paid close attention " If worse is to come and we may end up having a war with the Earthbound...I want you to take measure just in case."
The mafioso nodded " Of course."
" Good. Return to japan immediately, the twins are in need of your assistance once more. Take care Reborn." with that the monitor became back.
Reborn stood there looking trouble " I hope...I did the right thing." he left the room and prepare for his trip.
You know the drill review if you like it but this story will go on until the very end! See ya in a week, or less...maybe.
