Here is the new chapter of the story. PLease forgive the long wait, I was busy. Please review.
Haruno Orihime didn't know where she was or how she had gotten there, but she knew this had something to do with shooting Hibari with the Sexy Bullet. The last thing she remembered was that she was walking down the streets and then a black veil fell before her eyes. Now here she was; in a dark, damp and ugly place; sitting in a cold and uncomfortable chair with her wrist and ankles tied to the chair; and said chair was bolted tight to the floor.
Haruno tried her best to wriggle out of her restraints, but to no avail. She did her best to peek a look around to see where she was; again to no avail. Damn it! Where was she? Who brought her here? Why was she here? What was going on?
-Hey! Is there anyone here? What's going on? Why am I here? Asked Haruno, completely freaked out.
Her echo was the only answer she received; her mind racing through images and memories of films about people getting chopped in pieces or tortured in places like this. Panic settled in and Haruno started to hyperventilate; she was losing her mind and she needed to breathe better.
-Calm down, Haruno! You won't die… For now. Said a childish voice.
A small baby in a tuxedo outfit jumped before Haruno's eyes. What was going on here? The baby gave her a smile that sent chills down the young woman's spine. Something was up here and it wasn't good for her. She heard footsteps behind her; however she couldn't see them due to the darkness and the restrains. It unnerved her more than anything; hearing but not seeing was more frightening than what she had previously thought.
-Why am I here? What do you want from me? asked Haruno with venom in her voice.
-You are here because of your involvement with the Marcuzio famiglia and the bullet you shot Hibari Kyoya with a few days ago. My employer has asked me to get you here in one piece so we may interrogate you on the whereabouts and the plans of the Marcuzio famiglia. My employer doesn't enjoy the idea of torture and inflicting pain to others; however, seeing as you almost tried to… rape… Hibari Kyoya, a member of our famiglia, he has been having second thoughts about it all. Confessed Reborn with a smile.
-I… I… didn't rape him! I… I… shot him to help him with his illness! He's sick! What other reason would he have to prefer men instead of women! I was helping him! Cried Haruno, half believing her own words.
These words almost made Reborn snap. How dare those that vile little brat spat such hideous words? She clearly was not saying those words in order to save herself; which only made her more pathetic in the hitman's eyes. He took a deep breath and continued on with his part of the plan.
-Do not even try to lie to me! You tried to sleep with Hibari as he was under the influence of a drug! You tried to force yourself upon him and, if it wasn't for his determination to locate his lover, you would have succeeded! Just for that we could have the right to kill according to Mafia Laws; however we could forget the attempt of rape and only charge you for shooting our man. You would only get a few weeks of jail; not much considering that the charge for attempted rape is three years in Mafia prison and if you are having a bad day, Hibari could ask for your life in retaliation. Explained Reborn as he took out papers that proved his words.
-What..? I don't want to go to prison! I… I… I want my lawyer! She cried, angry. I just… What do you want? I don't know much about Marcuzio famiglia!
-First, you will not have a lawyer! This is not a cop T.V. show! Said Reborn angrily, not very far from just shooting this stupid girl (even Tsuna was smarter than her). Second, I already told you what we wanted from you. Third, just tell us what you know! Who approached you; how did they approach you; who gave you the gun and the bullet; why has the bullet malfunctioned; are you still in contact with the Marcuzio famiglia; how do you contact them; etc?
Haruno kept quiet; she was hesitating at telling everything she knew about the Marcuzio famiglia. What would happen if she did tell what she knew? Would she be in trouble with the Marcuzio famiglia? They couldn't be angry against her if she did talk, right? She had been kidnapped and almost tortured; it wasn't her fault. She had to talk; so they couldn't be angry with her.
-I don't know where they are. I don't know why they chose me. All I know is that some guy delivered at my house a brown paper bag with a gun and a bullet and a picture of Hibari Kyoya. The guy said they had wanted to help all the homosexuals get into the right path and the bullet was supposed to help Hibari. They're a group of two girls and four boys; the one I met with was a tall blond man who looked European. I think he was German. He had a scar going from his left temple to the left corner of his lips. Explained Haruno with a smile; hoping to get help her case.
Reborn took note of everything and said nothing. He took out his phone and called a few contacts to see if any Mafiosi had this description or his anyone knew of someone like this. It took a few minutes after his first call for Reborn to finally have some information. As it turned out, the man's name was Ulrich Von Strain; ex-military and vicious sadist. His ancestors had been part of Hitler's gestapo. He was a horrible and very dangerous person. Reborn left the young girl's sight and ignored her cries as he called his student.
-Haruno, just shut the hell up! You are making all of our ears bleed! Cried Tsuna as he entered the young girl's vision with a scowl in his face.
-What..? Sawada? What are you doing here? Asked Haruno, confused and irritated that some stupid failure would speak to her, an upper classmate, like this.
-I'm here because YOU tried to rape MY man! YOU shot MY man so that he would be force to have sex with you! I am here to make sure YOU told my friend over there (he points to reborn in the shadows) is the truth. I am here to make you understand that Hibari Kyoya is MY man and that I do not share MY man with anyone… said Tsuna as he angrily approached the girl to the point their faces were merely inches away.
-And how are you going to do that? You gonna hit me? Please! You're so weak you won't even be able to make a bruise on me, let alone hurt me. Teased Haruno with an arrogant smirk.
-That is true, but I have a friend who won't mind hitting the smart-ass out of you! Her name is Rokudo Chrome and she has some minor resentment towards you! Maybe if you hadn't tried to shoot her friends Chikuza and Ken; she wouldn't have been so incline to smack some sense into you…
Chrome walked into the light and sported an expression of disdain on her gentle features. She clearly hated the girl before her; how dared she shoot her friends like this to get some piece of ass. She was going to smack the smug smile off that bitch's lips. Chrome cracked her knuckles and warmed up her muscles.
-My mother raised a gentleman. I would never physically harm a woman; even if they are a stupid and bitchy like you! Said Tsuna as he sat back on a crate.
Chrome raised her hand and back-handed the bounded girl with all the strength she could muster. Haruno's head went spinning and some blood came to her mouth. Chrome had obviously been training; her anger and disdain obviously gave her strength.
Tsuna was not a sadist and never considered violence as the first mean of resolving a situation. However, in this situation, he could make an exception. Hibari had told him about some memories that was coming back to him after a few days; Haruno had tied him down and was speaking to someone on her phone about how they were going to destroy the Vongola famiglia by having their most powerful guardian fall madly in love with one of their own (in this case, Haruno) and have him play a double game with Tsuna to better destroy him. Haruno had reduced the dose of the bullet to make sure he didn't become too addicted to her; however, she messed the dosage up.
The interrogation went on long into the evening; when Haruno failed to answer properly or refused to do so, then Chrome would raise her hand and make sure to give all her strength. Sadly, Tsuna had to leave; Kyoya had called him, worried that he might have been hurt. His duty was to protect Tsuna and now that he was out of Kyoya's sight, the cloud guardian was almost freaking out (almost being the key word).
-I'm alright! I'm with Reborn and Chrome. I was thinking that maybe we could watch a movie together, tonight. I could go take one to a video store. What would you like to see? Asked Tsuna with a sweet smile.
-Oh! Don't worry about that! I'll find a good movie; I have one in mind that I'm sure you will love. How's the interrogation going? Do you need my help? I can be very scary when I want to! Asked Hibari, trying miserably to hide his desire to simply rush in and take over the whole thing.
-Kyoya, darling! Everything's under control! We discussed it; if Haruno sees you and you are not completely crazy about me, she might warn her allies and our advantage would be lost. Said Tsuna with sincere regret in his voice as he knew how much this was killing his boyfriend.
-As you wish, my sweet herbivore! So… Now I'm your darling? How sweet! Whispered Kyoya with a sly tone which promised nothing but sweet and beautiful tortures for his herbivore.
After a few more minutes of sweet talk that only made Tsuna bush even more, the chocolate haired young man hanged up and walked to his tutor. He whispered to his tutor's ear to tell him that he had to leave; if he stayed any longer, Hibari was going to rush to the warehouse and ruin the whole operation. Reborn agreed; Hibari was crazy about Tsuna and the thought of not being able to be here and have Tsuna far from him was a real torture.
Some who knew nothing of the head of the disciplinary comity would think the bullet had been effective; however, those who did know him knew that the young man was simply in love and the possessive type. Hibari didn't share his lover; always made sure that he was protected by someone; made sure that everyone knew that Tsuna was his and his alone; he always made sure to make Tsuna scream in pleasure at night. The young boss was glad his mother and the rest of the family wasn't there to hear him cry out in delight every night; he was sure, however, Reborn had either recorded their sessions or had some kind of blackmail upon him. Tsuna could not care less; he was happy with Hibari and he would never allow anyone make his herbivore unhappy.
