"Tsunayoshi…."
Hmm who's there…?
"Tsuna…"
Shut up, I'm trying to sleep god damn it!
"TSUNA!"
I open my eyes abruptly; I was sleeping on my favorite sakura tree well second favorite that is. Slowly my eyes open and in my view, I see blond locks of hair and red fox ears… No it can't be!
The figure looming on top of me had its tail on my nose; I slowly looked up to see a man with a smiling goofily at me "GIOTTO!" I coughed loudly trying to wave his tail away from my face. What is Giotto doing here in the human world and not the spirit world?!
"You've always been a deep sleeper" he chuckled heartily. I cover my nose, and glare at my annoying older brother. It's been years and I mean years… He knew what I've done and about my curse but his still too forgiving and never stopped caring for his murderer of a little brother. That's what makes him so stupid.
"Giotto what are you doing here?" I snarled in a hush tone, I don't want Hibari or Alaude knowing that my brother is here. He smiled and sat on the tree branch next to me.
"What I can't visit my cute little brother?"
I rolled my eyes at him "It's been 50 years Giotto why would you suddenly show up like this?"
"Plus Reborn told you not to be with me, I'm dangerous why you can't understand that!" His too kind for his own good it'll get him in trouble.
"Well you haven't been killing anyone for a year" He grinned and pulled in me in a hug.
"S-stop that Giotto and just because I've restrained myself for a year doesn't make me safe." I pushed against his shoulder it's too awkward I haven't seen him in a long time and his already this affectionate. He ignored me and looked around, seeing the beautiful flowers and plants that surround the sakura tree.
"Woah you live here!" he gasped. I stared at his expression his light orange eyes glowed in childish excitement, sigh I know where this is going…
"Giotto… don't tell me…"
He faces me with a gleam in his eyes, years of knowing this man I know that he came here to see me and drag me around like he always does. "Tsuna lets explore the human world!"
"You mean you explore the human world" I frowned at him. I turn into my standard form and wind envelops me, to match his blue yukata in contrast to my kimono and hakama. "Your form looks amazing as always" he commented. I ignored him and grabbed his sleeve to pull him away.
"Tsunayoshi?"
"Shut up; let's get out of here before the owners of this mansion wakes up" I said stoically.
"Ehhh why? I want to meet them!"
I shot him a look "Keep quiet Giotto, those two are dangerous" At that his eyes narrow sharply and stops in his tracks.
"Tsuna, for you to say that… they didn't do anything to you did they"
I froze in the spot, I hate to admit it but Giotto is way stronger than me. Despite his happy and caring nature if something happens to me he'll definitely turn around and slaughter them. I have to think of something, not even Alaude or Hibari could survive against my brother.
"Giotto, why don't we go to the park?" I wanted to hide myself in a ditch, but knowing my brother he'll fall for it. And… yep his face lights up once again "Yes let's go Tsuna!" Giotto changes to his human form wearing casual clothes a black V-neck shirt and blue jeans. I follow suit also wearing casual clothes but with a blue hoodie and black pants.I looked at Giotto's expression when we walked in silence on the side walk, he was looking around everywhere. He was gasping and being in absolute awe at anything he encountered when it's something he never seen before. Geez I have an immature older brother… I look up at the sky; Giotto was always the one that cleaned up the bloody mess I make and frequently tried to convince Reborn not to kill me for going on a killing spree in the spirit world.
"Hey Giotto… why are you here really?"
He turned to look at me with a confused expression plastered on his face. "I told you before to see you and explore the human world!"
I glare at him suspiciously and continued "I doubt that. Something must've happened… your place is in the spirit world not here."
He sighed "Tsuna why can't you just believe what I say?" I kept my glare at him which made him look down. A few minutes later he held his arms in the arm indicating that he gives up.
"Tsuna… the Vindice…." My eyes widen at that.
"W-What about Vindice?" I stuttered but tried to keep my calm, Vindice are a dangerous group of individuals that uphold the law and order in the spirit world. I've had many running's with them and Giotto was always there to bail me out.
"They've changed their mind haven't they and decided to get rid of me right?"
"N-No… that's not it… there just thinking about the case with…."
"Reiya…" My eyes widen in shock at this, the name shake my whole being. Giotto noticed it and looked down, his blond bangs covering his face.
"What… about her?" I managed to say.
"There investigating her connection with you" he answered. My eyes narrow…
"S-sorry I know how important she was to you"
"It's been 60 years from now it doesn't matter."
"That doesn't mean you'll forget, I mean she's the reason yo-"
"SHUT IT GIOTTO!" I snapped, he flinched back and became silent. I calmed myself down and breathed in and out. Whenever it comes to that woman…I… He looks up and with a worried frown, completely understanding my reaction.
"Tsuna… sorry, I won't mention it…"
"But I'll tell you why I'm really here, someone's after you Tsunayoshi whether it be a victim of your wrongdoings they want you dead" He said seriously, we were sitting on the park bench, the sky was cloudy and grey no one was around at this time.
"Hmph that's to be expected" I said bluntly. Giotto eye's twitch his happy atmosphere is nowhere to be found.
"Can't you see that this is serious?"
"I never said it wasn't"
"You may not think that people won't care if you're gone but I do!" He finally snapped. I look at him in the corner my eyes quite familiar with his sudden outburst and lecture.
"I'm here because I don't want you to die"
"We hardly see each other what does it matter?"
"Tsunayoshi you're not alone…."
"I know I have Yui… that's why I haven't killed anyone yet. If I hadn't met her you'll see me in Vendicare prison a year ago" I said facing straight ahead.
"I see… I would like to meet her"
"But I'm staying… so give me a place to lounge in!" He said suddenly. Which shocked me to the bone, I don't Giotto to stay here it's too much trouble.
"No Giotto go back to the spirit world, I can protect myself" I frowned at my brother's stubbornness about protecting me.
"I'm not changing my mind!" He shouted.
I look at him for a while and began walking back to the mansion. His eyes followed me and gasp "Where are you going Tsunayoshi?!" I stop in my tracks, my back facing him "You're looking for a place to stay right?" Giotto's face beams and ran to my side. Walking back to mansion it was just Giotto chattering away and me silently listening.
Finally we arrive back 'home', he immediately ran to the sakura tree "You can use this tree I guess but only for a while." I said bluntly. I don't like my brother being in the human world but I can't refuse him, I seem to have a weak spot for my older brother, the years we haven't seen each other which only felt like weeks since we exist forever.
"Tsunayoshi. " I hear a blunt and deep voice behind me; I turn around and see it was Alaude. Just the person I wanted to see…
"Alaude this is my brother Giotto" I introduced, Alaude observed Giotto and immediately Giotto reacted, blushing red. I stare at my brother with wide eyes… no… he can't be falling for Alaude, sure he is handsome but then again Giotto is known for falling in love easily. All these years he'll have over 150 lovers probably that's all I know, there should be more. I elbow my brother and he flinched, I shake my head in disapproval. It's his first time seeing a human that means his really curious.
"Ahh… hello" he said awkwardly, Alaude just smirked and turned his attention on me.
"Hn. Why is he here?"
"It's because of me apparently…. And he needs a place to stay"
"So you think I'll let your brother stay here?"
"Well care for another bodyguard?" I asked.
"Hmph is he strong?"
"Stronger than me actually" I looked at Giotto and he was looking down embarrassed. I smirked at that, finally I can tease my older brother. But I stopped and think 'If my brother married Alaude that would mean that Hibari would be my nephew…. Errr…' I thought uncomfortably.
"I see. Then he can stay with you" he simply said and walked away leaving an uncomfortably brunette still imagining things and a blushing blond.
"His… a hot human…" he mumbled. I snap to look at him, uhhh no first Yui and now Giotto… I shifted awkwardly I don't want hear this especially about Alaude. I bet if I told Giotto that Alaude blackmailed me he'll forget his feelings and try to kill him. That's one way to stop his brother who's prone to loving anything that moves.
"Shut up Giotto I don't want to hear it"
"Hey have you um… fell in love?" he asked suddenly.
I frowned and stared at my stupid brother "hmph you think I would fall in love with these lowly humans, how insulting" I growled angrily.
"Come on Tsuna… you fell in love with someone who was in the human world" my eyes narrowed dangerously at Giotto. His mentioned that woman once again; doesn't he have a filter or something? Her name wasn't taboo to me but I didn't like to think of the reason behind my curse.
"Did you think I'll fall in love with someone else then Reiya?" Giotto was taken back of what I said. He was sure that I won't be able to say her name but he could never read what I was thinking. I was a mystery in the spirit world; out of the two us I was the one who turned out to be the one more twisted. I'll hold my own territory and any spirit who walks in will get killed by me even if they plead and cried for mercy.
"No-not at all Tsuna" he said in a low voice.
"Giotto remember one thing I don't regret what I've done… none of it so if I were to disappear from the face of earth I deserve it" I said calmly. He looked up and hugged me, in the corner of my eye I see Hibari walking towards us with a slight annoyed look. Damn why now?
"Herbivores what you doing?"
"Tsuna who's this he looks just like that Alaude human!" Giotto gasps at the resemblance.
"His Alaude's son Hibari Kyouya" I answered him. I watch his eyes widen… I smirked at his expression, his probably hurt to the fact that Alaude was married.
"Kyouya this is my older brother Giotto" Hibari nodded and but still glared at the blond. He didn't care about being stared at he looked at me with a shocked expression as if his saying 'You are on first name terms?!'
"Herbivore I'm going to work." He informed, he walked all the way here just to tell me that?
"I see. Giotto why don't you explore on your own I have to do my job"
"Ehhh can I come?"
"No." Hibari said bluntly.
Giotto pouted in response but Hibari paid no heed. "But I have to protect my little brother!" he whined, Hibari's eye brow raised in confusion.
"Why does a bodyguard need to be protected?"
"It's because people want him de-"before he could saying anything I cover his mouth. Muffled sounds came from the fox spirit.
"That's enough Giotto do what I say…. Or go annoy Alaude" I smirked at him; he flinched and blushed once again. Hibari noticed that and his expression immediately turned sour."Herbivore you…" I quickly changed into a suit and grabbed Hibari to move on. I can hear Giotto yelling for me but I ignored him and kept walking. Once we get into the car it was the sweet silence that I loved and only Hibari, or Alaude can provide I mean they aren't social at all. I felt Hibari's stare on me though, I turn to look at him
"What is it Kyouya?"
He remained silent for a few second before saying "What was that herbivore talking about"
"What?"
"People want you…"
"Dead" I finished for him and his kept his stoic expression but his eyes widen a little.
"Who the spirits?" he asked.
"Yeah spirits but they'll probably send humans making it difficult for me to fight back" I frowned, I'm not afraid of dying but I'm not ready to leave this earth without being with Yui when it's her time to go.
"Hmph they are cowards I'll bite them to death" I lightly chuckled at his words which made him blush. Reminded me of how Giotto looked when his in love… wait what?!
I stare at Hibari and that made him uncomfortable "What are you looking at?" he growled softly. I looked away and face down, I found myself somehow blushing. I'm not that much of a dense person I've noticing him blushing a lot lately and dare I say it might be because of me…?
"Kyouya do you like anyone?" I suddenly find myself asking. His eyes widen and started turning even redder. Oh no….
"What are you talking about Tsuna?" His face remained emotionless but he was still red in the cheeks. Which looked funny to me "I'm asking if you have fallen in love with someone?" He remained silent and but instead of blushing any further he leaned in and kissed my lips. I froze at the sudden action, and my eyes glanced at the rear view mirror to see the driver with his jaw dropped to the floor.
Oh my God…
'K-Kyouya!?" I stuttered before pulling back and cover my lips in shock, blushing deep red. He smirked at me, liking my reaction. The driver coughed awkwardly tried to focus on the road but he felt his world falling a part 'Did Hibari sama just kissed his personal bodyguard?'
