Chapter Eight: The Gart City

Tsuna was forced to carry an unconscious Gokudera in his arms while dragging Lambo along with him. She had latched herself on his back because of Bianchi's fear. She was very terrified of the said woman and Tsuna couldn't disagree that she wasn't scary. The said woman was following them closely from behind. She was watching Tsuna's every move making him feel very uncomfortable then he already felt.

'Why do I always end up in this kind of situations?' Tsuna inwardly thought as he sighed. He looked back at Lambo who was trying to keep her tears at bay, but wasn't very successful. Then he looked further back to see Bianchi eying her with sharp eyes. She was still suspicious. He had explained to her that this was definitely not Juliet (Whoever that was) and was Lambo. After much convincing she had given up on killing her but she didn't promise not to stare did she?

Tsuna finally arrived at the Red Rose inn and felt relived. The people of the inn were staring at him as if he was an alien. Feeling awkward he quickly dragged himself and Lambo to the girls' room. Yamamoto and Ryoko were there. When Tsuna opened the door they became worried when they saw him carrying Gokudera.

"What happened to Gokudera?" Yamamoto asked being worried. Then she noticed Tsuna's torn clothes. They weren't in very bad shape but they were cut here and there.

"What happened Tsuna?" she asked.

"What is she Extremely doing?" Ryoko asked seeing Lambo clinging on to Tsuna's body. Tsuna just shook his head. He didn't even want to answer it. He went near a bed and put Gokudera's body down gently. She was still unconscious. He didn't know why she just fainted. It was as though she fainted because she saw her older sisters face.

That couldn't be it! Tsuna was just over thinking things! That couldn't possibly be true.

"Take care of her for a while." Tsuna told the two bewildered girls and turned to look at Lambo.

"I'll take care of my sister." Bianchi suddenly said and sat down beside her little sister. She glanced at the people standing there once. Lambo cringed when they had eye contact. Bianchi just narrowed her eyes. Then she proceeded to look back at her sister.

"I don't get it to the Extreme!" Ryoko told Tsuna.

"Me neither." Yamamoto added and looked at Tsuna for an explanation. It was not like he wanted to hide it or anything. But at first he needed to calm the girl down.

"I'll tell you a little later." He said and dragged Lambo with him. He couldn't talk here while Bianchi eyed them suspiciously.

Tsuna and Lambo were standing outside the room. Before coming out Tsuna didn't forget to close the door. The corridor of the second floor was empty. They were the only ones there.

"Um, Lambo you don't need to hold on to me like that." Tsuna told her with a soft tone. He preyed her hands off his.

"But the woman!" Lambo said in a frightened voice.

"Bianchi promised not to attack you anymore. So, it's fine." Tsuna tried to assure her. He wasn't sure if it worked or not. Lambo just nodded. She seemed to have calmed down a bit.

"I see. I hope she holds on to that. I don't want to be struck by her food again." She said with not so concealed disgust. Nobody liked her food.

"No body does."

Lambo then went back to her previous state. She closed her right eye and stared with only her left. She started fixing her hair which had become messy.

"So, does that kind of thing happen often with you? It didn't seem like you were bothered." Lambo had observed.

Tsuna was quiet. He was contemplating what to do. She was one of the holders of the ring set. Eventually she would know. He felt like he could trust this girl. He trusted his instincts.

"Yes, I suppose I am used to these things."

"Really? Those weren't some low leveled ones. They were professionals. I had a hard time dealing with them." Lambo then looked suspiciously at Tsuna, narrowed her eyes. "Who are you really?"

Tsuna gave a half hearted smile. He was the one who used to ask people these questions. And now someone was asking him the same one. How times had changed!

"I have to tell you sooner or later don't I?" He asked her. Lambo was expecting his answer. "I'm Sawada Tsunayoshi, the next in line for the Vongola Kingdom." Tsuna turned his head to a side. "Not that I want to be." He muttered under his breath. Lambo didn't catch that.

She was speechless. She couldn't believe that the young demon king stood before her. She always had the thought that he would be someone imposing and arrogant or some badass type of dude. But the person before her was far from that. He was someone very nice, polite and considerate.

"You can't believe it? That's fine." He didn't think she would be staring as though she was struck by lightning though. Suddenly he remembered. The ring! It had chosen her hadn't it? "I almost forgot." He pulled out the small box containing the rings. He opened it and Lambo was a bit mesmerized by the beautiful rings.

Tsuna cleared his throat by coughing. "You see this ring chose you to be the owner." He picked up the ring with the green jewel and forwarded his hand to her.

"My, my! This is quite fast." Lambo said while she shook her head. Tsuna raised his eyebrows. What was she talking about?

"What?" He asked being confused.

"But…" Lambo paused and Tsuna felt horrified when he saw a deep blush on her cheeks. He suddenly felt he knew what was coming next. "I wouldn't mind marrying you." She barely knew him but some how she felt like she could trust him.

Tsuna suddenly had an odd urge to hit something, namely his head on the wall. "I didn't ask you to marry me damn it!"

It took Tsuna quite sometime to make her understand how he got the rings and how those rings seemed to choose their own masters. He didn't forget to add that he had no clue what they do. He felt relived when Lambo took the ring and wore it. Finally only one more left. He wished the last one for the ring with the violet stone had not chosen its wielder. Mukuro was the one for the indigo one. He had to give it to her. This meant he had to meet her again. Just the thought was terrifying.

While he was happy to be relived of one of the rings he didn't miss the slight disappointment on Lambo's face. What was wrong with these women? Why did they all assume he was proposing?

"So what am I supposed to do with this ring?" Lambo asked looking at the ring that was now on her ring finger.

"Well I'm not sure but you should keep it. I have to check on Gokudera-san. I'll talk to you later." Tsuna gave a smile and looked to his side. "Maybe you two would like to chat about your currents affairs?"

I-pin was standing there being a bit surprised to be found so quickly. Tsuna didn't say anything. He just left to see Gokudera. The two childhood friends watched as he walked away.

When he was nowhere on sight Lambo looked back to I-pin. "Does he always do that? Lead people on the wrong way?"

I-pin gave a soft chuckle. "He does it unconsciously though. So, what are you going to do Lambo?"

"My, my that's a difficult question to answer."


Tsuna made his way to the girls' room. When he opened the door he was greeted with all his companions. Haru and Kyohei were there as well.

"Hahi! Tsuna-sama are you all right?" Haru asked with a worried tone. "Your clothes are tattered!"

"Tsuna-kun is in bad shape!" Kyohei added.

"Tell us what happened to the Extreme!" Ryoko asked. Everyone was staring at him with an expectant look. Bianchi was still seated beside her sister. She lazily looked at him. She knew him before them because of her love for Reborn as she would pop up from time to time.

Tsuna sighed. "We were attacked by the Phantom assassins again." That made people gasp.

"Why do they attack you? Not many people should know who you are!" Yamamoto asked. She didn't hear anything about him either.

"Well I think they were sent by those people who don't want me to be king. There's nothing much I could do." He answered sheepishly.

"Haru won't let that happen anymore! Haru will protect Tsuna-sama!" Haru said with burning determination.

"Me too!" Kyohei added. Tsuna felt grateful because of them. He never really had friends. Even before Reborn showed up from nowhere. After he did his life became hectic and he couldn't rest even for a day. He was alone. Now, he felt like he finally made some friends.

"Thanks guys. For saying that." He really was very thankful. He gave a grateful smile causing everyone to see sparkles around him. While they were conversing, suddenly there was a commotion coming from down stairs. That caused everyone to divert their attention to that.

"What's going on?" Tsuna asked with confusion. Did another weird person come out of nowhere?

"Let's see what that is to the Extreme!" Ryoko said as she exited the room with enthusiasm.

"Onee-chan!" Kyohei looked apologetically at Tsuna before following his older sister.

"Hahi! Dangerous as always!" Haru muttered and followed them out. Only Bianchi, Yamamoto and Tsuna remained inside the room.

"Can't they see my sister is injured? I have to eliminate them it seems." Bianchi muttered darkly and pulled out some weird looking dishes from who knows where. She them stomped towards the place where the ruckus was happening. Tsuna had quickly moved away for her to leave. He didn't want to be dissolved by the food, thank you very much.

"Ha ha Gokudera's sister makes the most interesting entrances don't you think Tsuna?" Yamamoto asked when Bianchi had left.

"I guess." His answer was a bit strained. He looked back at Gokudera. She stirred a bit. It seemed that she was waking up. He quickly went to her side. Yamamoto did the same.

"Umn…" Gokudera opened her eyes. She was immensely happy when she saw Tsuna's face looming over hers. Suddenly his face was replaced by that of Yamamoto. She got pissed.

"What the hell do you think you're doing sword freak!" She quickly sat up and screamed at Yamamoto.

"Ha ha! I was just worried so I was looking." Yamamoto replied with a grin. Gokudera grumbled. Her beautiful imagination was ruined.

"Gokudera-san are you feeling all right? You just suddenly fainted." Tsuna asked with concern. Actually it wasn't Gokudera's imagination. It was just that Yamamoto decided to check upon her too and that was the moment when she had opened her eyes fully.

"Tenth!" Gokudera perked up and her cat ears popped up on her head. Yamamoto's eyes were wide for a second. Then she burst out laughing.

"Ha ha! Gokudera is so funny!" She was able to in between laughs. While Gokudera glared fiercely towards her direction.

"Gokudera-san!" Tsuna screeched out in fright. He really didn't want to see these two start fighting. "Yamamoto was worried too! Don't start a fight!"

"If you say so tenth." Gokudera grumpily replied. Her ears vanished. Tsuna was tempted, mind you very little to touch those soft ears but restrained himself from doing so.

"Are you injured somewhere?" Tsuna asked. He wasn't sure why she fainted. He didn't even smell too much blood from her body that was hers on her. So, he couldn't fathom why she fainted like that.

"Oh!" Gokudera was a bit embarrassed. How could she explain it nicely? Yamamoto was also interested. Tsuna was waiting for her answer. She couldn't disappoint the tenth could she?

"You see tenth, in our home I had to play the piano. I guess I wasn't too bad in it. Sister would make those weird types of cookies with purple smoke coming out of them. I was forced to eat them and play. Everyone thought that was art and made her make more of those for me. After a while when I saw those cookies I started to vomit and somehow now when I see my sister I faint. It's an after effect of the cookies!" (People! Cookies are bad….)

Tsuna and Yamamoto became quiet. They didn't know what to say. Before they could say anything Haru burst the door open causing the occupants of the room to be very startled.

"It's Terrible Tsuna-sama! Haru doesn't know what to do!" He was very upset. Tsuna could say so hearing the tremble of his voice.

"What happened? Did Bianchi do something?" Tsuna inquired. But his intuition told him that wasn't what happened. His intuition told him trouble was already here. Haru just shook his head.

"Tsuna-sama should see for himself." He replied. Tsuna nodded his head and turned to look at the other two.

"Stay here. Yamamoto-san watch over Gokudera-san. I'll see what's going on." Without wasting any more seconds he rushed out of the room followed by Haru. Yamamoto and Gokudera watched as his figure disappeared from their view.

Tsuna was very surprised to see a crowd of people gathered around a certain table. He was coming down the stairs and looked through the crowd to see his friends gathered at a certain area while he heard some woman's voice that he concluded was Ryoko. He saw Bianchi sitting at another side. She apparently had lost interest.

"What's going on?" Tsuna asked his friends when he was close enough to them.

"Young Vongola, it seems like something happened to the Gart city." Lambo said with her bored expression. She stood with Haru, Kyohei and I-pin.

"What?" Tsuna was bewildered. Then he noticed. Why was she calling him Young Vongola?

"Tsuna-sama! We can't get close." I-pin told him. "But if you order it Tsuna-sama I could use the needles that I hide in my sleeves to knock them out. Maybe they'll wake up after two or three days." He added with a whisper.

Tsuna was horrified. How could he say that with a completely serious face! "No! I'll do something!" He quickly went near the crowd. If he didn't do anything he was sure I-pin would help him!

"Sawada!" Ryoko called out from the crowd when she saw him. Tsuna pushed the people aside and somehow was able to see what the whole fuss was about. There was a person sitting beside the table. On the table there were different and very delicious looking dishes sprawled out. He was eating non stop.

"Excuse me but I heard something happened to the Gart City? I was going to go through there. I need to get to Namimori city you see?" Tsuna asked. He felt like he just stepped on something bad. The man became gloomy. He looked down causing his bangs to shadow his eyes.

"I don't think you can do that anymore." He replied.

"Eh? Why?" Tsuna was surprised. The man's tone was filled with sadness. He could just feel his grief. Suddenly he knew what was wrong.

"Because The Gart City has been taken over."


The woman clad in black attire walked through the forest without making the slightest bit of noise. She was very close to the Gart City. She was at first surprised to see a different defense force than the usual. But they were no different. A bunch of useless herbivores.

There was a rustling noise. She did not even look at that side. She did a swipe and something fell limp on the ground. On her hands there was a pair of steel tonfa's with spikes. They were coated in blood. Blood was dripping on the ground. The woman took no notice of it. She just walked ahead. There were more coming towards her.

"You herbivores are irritating. I have no time for you." She positioned herself. She licked the blood tickling from her hand. Making her blue eyes become red once more.

"I'll bite you to death."


"What do you mean?" Tsuna was a bit surprised. Everyone seemed to have had the same reaction.

"The Kokuyo Gang led by the notorious criminal Mukuro suddenly attacked and took control. She made everyone her slave. I was barely able to survive. Now I'm not sure if our city will be back to normal or not." The man sadly said. "You have to look for another route."

Tsuna couldn't reply. So, Mukuro finally started her assault. But he couldn't understand why she attacked the Gart city. Could it be because she wanted to have a proper match with him? She should know that he would be going through this route. He had to take care of this himself.

After the talk everyone was busy with their work again. They could only sympathize with the man. Nothing more. They could do nothing to help. Tsuna and his friends were now facing a problem. What were they going to do now?

"We are at the Red Rose inn. If we want to go to the Namimori city then we have take the route of the Koen city. As in we have to go around the Lisac Hills again. It will take days." I-pin said while watching the map. Everyone was inside the boys' room. They were discussing what to do next. Oddly Tsuna was quiet. He just watched.

Bianchi had left saying that she wouldn't forgive Tsuna if he hurt her little sister. She also said that they would meet again. Apparently she was on a mission for revenge. Tsuna decided that it would be better not knowing.

"We should rest for today." Tsuna suddenly said startling everyone. They all looked at him. He seemed to be lost in thought.

"If Tsuna-sama says so!" Haru suddenly said. Everyone chatted and went to rest. Kyohei glanced at Tsuna for some time. He knew that Tsuna was thinking about something deeply. But decided not to ask any questions. He was worried about his boss.

"Gokudera-san, can we talk for a bit?" Tsuna asked. Gokudera was startled by his unusual request. But she was kind of happy that they were going to have a private talk. Tsuna led her to a side of the corridor that no one visited straying from everyone else. Yamamoto had a good idea about what they were going to talk about. She looked at the ring on her hand and sighed.

"Tenth is something wrong?" Gokudera felt very nervous. She didn't know why.

"Uh, nothing like that." Tsuna said and gave a smile. Then he pulled out the box he kept with him and opened it. Gokudera's eyes were wide. This couldn't be what she thought it was could it? Tsuna took out the ring with the red jewel and forwarded it to her.

"This red ring glowed when you used your powers. I think this has chosen you." Gokudera was speechless. She couldn't reply. Tsuna shook his head and slowly raised her hand. Then he put the ring on her palm. "You don't want it?"

"No!" Gokudera quickly clutched the ring tightly. "I am just too happy tenth!" She said and gave a very beautiful smile.

Tsuna was startled and he felt blood rushing to his face. He quickly looked away to calm himself and make the blush go away. It was just Gokudera-san!

"Is something wrong tenth?" She enquired.

"I... I'm fine…" He was able to answer.


It was total darkness outside. Nothing could be seen. No human could see even their bare hands. In this darkness a figure was walking. The figure quietly exited the room leaving the sleeping companions. The figure walked down the stairs and slowly approached the door. The figure pushed it open and suddenly became stiff. There were two more figures standing outside. One was male and the other female.

"What are you two doing?" Tsuna asked with hushed voice and disbelief. Before him were standing I-pin and Lambo.

"I can't let Tsuna-sama go alone in enemy territory! What kind of secret service member let's their King go alone?" I-pin asked. Tsuna just felt like that wasn't what he intended for him to be. He sighed.

He shook his and then looked beside him. "Why are you here Lambo?"

"My, my I'm just here to repay the Young Vongola. When I saw I-pin sneaking out I followed. And besides what kind of girl would I be if I can't even make one guy like me back?" Lambo said while she stroked her hair.

"Huh?" Tsuna wasn't sure how this was related to anything. Then he shook his head. "I can't take you two with me."

"And why not?" I-pin asked.

"Because…" before Tsuna could answer Lambo interrupted.

"Young Vongola if you refuse then I'll just make an explosion of power. That will wake up the others and that's not something you want to see ne?" Lambo said with a bored tone. But Tsuna could clearly see that was a threat. What was he going to do now? If Lambo really does that then that would be a really big problem.

"Okay. I understand. Let's go as quickly and…" Tsuna didn't finish his sentence. He turned his head to see Kyohei standing right behind him.

"I'm coming too Tsuna-kun." He declared. Tsuna did a face palm. He was really in trouble now. So much for stealth.


Dawn was approaching. The darkness of the sky was being evaporated by the blinding sunlight. The highest point of the Gart city was the Theatre. There sitting was Mukuro. She was very bored. The room was empty with only one furniture to sit on which she was occupying. The decoration of the room was rather gloomy (But if you love your life then don't say that) with torn curtains and dark colors.

Mukuro yawned. This was getting boring. Suddenly the door was opened and three boys came in. One of them was Chrome.

"Mukuro-sama!" Chrome called out to her.

"What is it?" she asked with piqued interest. Her three loyal followers don't show up out of nowhere unless it was important.

"It appears we have an intruder into the city from the northern side." One of them said. His voice was calm without any emotion. He seemed bored as well.

"It seems like there is another group of intruders from the southern side byon!" the other boy said. He licked his lips with his long tongue.

"Really?"

"They are strong Mukuro-sama." Chrome added.

"Ku fu fu fu…. The game just became interesting again!" Mukuro said with a smirk. "Chrome, Chikusa and Ken, prepare their welcome party."

"Yes, Mukuro-sama." The three boys replied.
