"Where'd you get that from?" Tsuna choked out, pointing at the silver tonfas. "I-I thought I put them away?"

"Selfish herbivore," Hibari only said, glaring daggers at Anzu. Mukuro cracked a smile.

"What's going on?" Tsuna turned to Giotto, who seemed to be in deep concentration.

"Did you…" Giotto spoke slowly, directing his question at Anzu. "Contact the company…and get another…" he trailed off, but by then Tsuna already knew what he was meaning to say.

And he was furious about it. "Why?" he said in a deadly calm. "If you bought replacements, then why would you go to such lengths to get -"

"Thieving children like you need to learn that-" Anzu shrieked, interrupting Tsuna.

"I DID NOT STEAL THEM!" Tsuna blurted, cutting her off with a gasp. He panted, unused to raising his voice against someone.

"Do you want that one back or not?" Hibari interjected, waving a tonfa in Mukuro's direction. He was clearly losing patience, and because the two never really got along, it was unlikely he wanted Mukuro back that much either.

"Of course he does," Giotto answered for Tsuna, stepping in front of him.

"WATERFALL!"

"Yes, Master Anzu?" Mukuro said, pained from both the shriek and the name.

"YOU ARE TO RESIST THAT BOY AND THOSE TRAITOR DOLLS AND GET PARAKEET BACK FOR ME!"

"Parakeet..?" Giotto mumbled.

"NOW, MUKURO!"

"Yes," Mukuro nodded once and took a slow step forward.

"Hibari, work with-"

But Hibari had already charged forward, tonfas raised and ready to strike. Tsuna felt himself grimace before Hibari had even hit Mukuro, like he had so many times before, but he was shocked when he saw Mukuro reach up and wrap his fingers around the ends of Hibari's tonfas.

With a small smile at a stunned Hibari, he jumped up and flipped over his head with the aid of the tonfas, then dropped to the ground in a crouching position with the tonfas in his possession.

"Kufufu-"

BAM.

Hibari lowered his leg, which had just connected with Mukuro's chin. He bent over and picked up his tonfas again.

"WATER-"

"I'M FINE, SHUT UP, SHUT UP!"

There was a rather long and awkward silence following Mukuro's outburst. Said person stood up and brushed himself off with a huff, clearly pissed off.

Tsuna couldn't resist his cough.

"You…dare…" Anzu murmured dangerously, but before she could continue, was cut off.

"Yes I dare," Mukuro said, but was grimacing as he said it. "I-"

But Anzu wouldn't have it, she turned on the heel of her foot and stormed right up towards Tsuna, but soon Hibari and Giotto were in her way. She tried to make it past them, but they'd just manoeuvre around and get in front of her again.

She gave up and instead tried glaring at Tsuna over their shoulders the best she could.

"You did this to them! First Raven then Waterfall! Are you possessed by some crazy charisma to not only-"

"It's not charisma, Anzu," Hibari cut in. Giotto nodded in agreement. "He treats us as equals, he cares, and most importantly-"

"HE GIVES US GOOD NAMES," Mukuro finished for him with a loud huff.

"That too…" Hibari's eye twitched at being interrupted.

"Am I that terrible?" Anzu asked, taking a step back with her eyes wide and saddened. Tears welled up in her brown eyes. It was a rather sudden change, had Hibari's words affected her so much?

"No," Tsuna was about to say.

"YES!" was what answered her question instead, special thanks to the three dolls.

"Herbivores, don't copy me."

"Listen," Giotto said. "You may as well return Mukuro because we're going to get him back anyway, and besides, you have replacements!"

"But-"

"NO BUTS!"

"I'm sorry…" Anzu mumbled, looking down at the carpet. "It's just that my parents were very busy when I was young and I wasn't very good looking, so I was quite lonely and all I wanted was to have some company…"

No one asked for a life story, but she just kept droning on and on, till she finally finished and looked up with a small, grim smile.

"Sorry," she repeated to the droop-eyed people in front of her.

"It's okay," Tsuna replied, smiling, forgiving her. At least she could return Mukuro to him, but he was really only concerned with the replacement dolls.

"Did you get the same versions of the dolls here?" he asked, referring to the three around him. Anzu shook her head slyly.

"Only Hibari," she answered. "I wanted the new dolls as a replacement for the other two."

"Oh? And who may they be?" Mukuro asked, curious as well.

"I don't know, it's a surprise," Anzu said.

"I see," Hibari said, though it was plain on his face that he didn't give a crap. "Now, give him back."

Anzu hesitated and looked at Mukuro. Tsuna tensed, could she be deciding against giving them back?

"I never agreed."

Tsuna's heart sank. That was true, she never did. He just turned to Hibari when Anzu pulled Mukuro to her.

"But I'll give him back anyway," she said, grabbing Mukuro's wrist. Tsuna frowned, but then saw that Anzu had placed many bobby pins and a hair tie in his hand.

"Go back to being Pine-pine with him then," she said. Mukuro wrapped his hand around the items before leaning forward, and pecking her on the cheek.

"Thank you," he chuckled half-heartedly before turning and returning to Tsuna. "If you want me back, kiss me."

"Huh?" Tsuna was taken aback. "Can't you just be reset?" he wasn't really prepared to be initiating kissing… not yet, and especially not in front of such an audience.

"Do you not read manuals?" Anzu spoke up, sighing. "Kissing is temporary ownership, making love is permanent till the owner resets them, but if one is temporarily in one's ownership, resetting them is just as good as making them defective."

"HUH?" Tsuna repeated and stared at her before his eyes darted in Mukuro's direction.

"True," Mukuro said smugly before closing his eyes. "Come on now," he said teasingly.

"Do it Tsuna, or I might intervene," Hibari said, crossing his arms with a glare.

"Um…" Tsuna desperately looked for another way out of this. His eyes temporarily met with Giotto's, pleading for help, but the other simply winked and before he knew it, he felt hands push him on the back.

He stumbled, and then landed on Mukuro, Mukuro's lips, to be exact. His eyes were wide open and staring at Mukuro's flawless face, he was about to pull back when Mukuro sunk into the kiss, uttering a slight sob.

Tsuna found that he couldn't pull back. His eyes were still open though, admiring Mukuro's long lashes and the other detailed features on his face. He was incredibly human like, and if he didn't know better, he would have though he was human.

Then his eyes flew even further open when – TONGUE ALERT, TONGUE, TONGUE.

"Stop that!" Tsuna was pulled back by the shoulders; he saw that it was Hibari out of the corner of his eye.

Mukuro only stood up, but his eyes remained closed. But his smile was forever on his face.

"Tsuna's tongue is rather soft," he commented, clearly provoking Hibari. Tsuna's face flushed a brilliant red.

"Enough is enough!" a small shout came from where a forgotten Anzu remained standing with her hands on her hips. "Go make love elsewhere; I've got my own dolls to attend to!"

"Poor dolls," Giotto commented but Anzu didn't hear.

"SHOO!" and the four were ushered out of her apartment.

"Sorry about the door," Tsuna had to say when they only remained standing on the other side of the fallen door.

"That's my fault," Giotto said.

"Just leave!" Anzu said, annoyed that she didn't have a door to slam. "You better hope one of my new dolls can fix this!"

Tsuna cast an unsure glance before hurrying a little down the stairs, his companions following. They paused, out of sight, to hear the sounds of boxes being torn open.

A/N: A whole lot of dialogue, that was. Oh well. Yeah... I hope you enjoyed that. This isn't the last chapter, the next one will be the last. Please review. :)
