C H A P T E R T E N - Game -
"Ugh…"
Looking at his reflection in the mirror, Tsuna groaned in disgust. His complexion was horrible, but it was better than yesterday.
After Enma had left, the Vongola had locked himself inside of his own room, not wanting others to see his pathetic state. His eyes were still slightly red, and his eyelids were clearly swollen.
"This ice is not doing its job."
Staring at the ice pack in hand, Tsuna frowned. Can't go out looking like this. However, he had work that needed to be finished so he was forced to leave his room to retrieve the documents.
A distressed sigh escaped his dry lips. With the desire to hide his face, Tsuna wore his sweatshirt, leaving the hood on his head to slightly cover the top of his face.
I'll just quickly go and then come back.
Popping his head out from the small opening of his door, the brunette looked left and right, checking for any presence that may be nearby. All seemed clear and he swiftly left his room, speeding down to his office.
Tsuna made it safely there without being noticed. Slowly opening the door, he slipped inside the room and sighed in relief.
"Safe…"
"Or not." An unfamiliar voice crept up from behind.
What? Before Tsuna could turn around to see the intruder or even retaliate, he felt a force from behind, knocking the air out of him.
Fainting, Tsuna lost control of his body and slowly, his small frame collapsed to the ground.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Knocking on the door, Hibari patiently waited for an answer. Though, none came. A little bit irritated, he knocked again, this time, louder. Still, nothing. Angered, he roughly opened the door and invited himself in.
The guardian had been away for a few days, having a lot of work to do and hadn't had the time to report back to the Vongola.
"Sawada Tsunayoshi," Hibari called out in a firm and annoyed tone.
He was met with emptiness. Oddly, the young boss was not in his office. Strange. Usually, he would be in here, hurriedly trying to rush through his work that he had been procrastinating on.
Nonchalantly, Hibari left the room and strode down the hall in search of Tsuna's room. When he arrived upon the place he tended to secretly visit at odd times, rather than knocking, he allowed himself in.
Again, the person he was looking for wasn't there. The bed was clearly made so he had been there this morning.
Sighing, Hibari closed the door and proceeded to hunt down his prey. "For making me search, I'll bite you to death when I find you."
If Tsuna wasn't in his room or the office, then he would most likely be in the dining room. Though the mansion was big, the brunette only occupied a few places.
Finally arriving at his destination, he growled in irritation at what he had found. The guardians were present excluding the Mists and the boss.
Yamamoto took notice of Hibari standing at the entrance and called out to the man. "Hibari!"
"Che," Gokudera scoffed as he glanced at Hibari before turning his attention away.
"OH! You're here!" Ryohei said with his loud and energetic voice.
That only caused the guardian to growl, annoyed. Taking a few steps forward, he closed the gap between them.
"Where is Sawada Tsunayoshi?"
The three tilted their head in confusion. "Tsuna?" Yamamoto questioned. "He should be in the office."
"He's not there."
Upon that answer, the guardians seated at the table exchanged glances with each other. It was strange for Tsuna to not be in the office. He spent most of his time there.
"His room?" Yamamoto asked.
"No."
"What?" Gokudera yelled and pounded his fists against the desk. "Are you saying the Tenth is missing?"
"I simply asked for his location." Hibari said, not wanting to add more.
"Eh? Sawada is not around? Did any of you see him?" Ryohei asked.
"Hm…" Yamamoto pondered, digging through his memory of today.
The room became quiet for a minute as they all tried to remember the last time they had seen Tsuna.
"I saw him yesterday but I didn't see him at all today," said Yamamoto.
"Same here," Gokudera added.
"Me too," Ryohei commented.
Hibari sighed in frustration. If his three closest guardians had no idea where he was, then, something was wrong.
"Useless," the annoyed man scoffed softly under his breath.
"WHAT? I heard that you bastard!" Gokudera jolted up in his chair and was ready to land a punch in Hibari's face.
"Hey! Gokudera! Calm down!" Yamamoto raised his voice at the silver haired. His hand grasped the hot-head's wrist and stopped him from moving any further towards Hibari who was already exiting the room.
Hibari stormed towards the office to check just one last time. There was a chance Tsuna may be in there or there could be some sort of lead. It was better than asking the other three who were no help at all.
Slamming the door wide open, the guardian arrived back at point one and still, it was empty.
Where could he be?
First and foremost, he tried to call Tsuna but no luck. It wasn't like him to not have his phone on, unless, there was a possibility the battery was dead.
Still, he felt that something was most definitely wrong right now. Though, he hoped that wasn't the case. Taking in a deep breath, Hibari calmed down. Walking towards the desk, his eyes scanned the area, searching for anything that could be amiss.
Everything seemed to be in order. Even his documents were scattered across the surface. As he was about to glance away and search some other places, he caught sight of something hiding in between the sheets of paper.
Reaching towards the item, he pinched the corners of the piece of paper and pulled it out. It seemed to be a letter folded in three. Unraveling the paper, Hibari read the written contents.
I have Sawada Tsunayoshi.
Where to find him?
Take a guess.
But, that's probably too hard, so let's play a game.
Hide and Seek.
Now, where would I be hiding him?
No clue, right?
Answer these, and you'll find him.
1. What is most precious to Sawada Tsunayoshi?
Kidnapped? How could he be kidnapped? Hibari roughly crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it at the wall with all his strength. This has got to be a joke. How could the Vongola boss be captured so easily without anyone noticing? Not even his guardians knew what had happened to him.
The security in the building obviously needed to be fixed. But, Hibari had no time to worry about such things. He'll deal with that later.
His precious item? That was a tough question. The brunette didn't seem to have anything he particularly cherished. As the guardian thought about the answer to the question, the more he struggled to figure it out.
If he had anything that was valued, it would most likely be kept in his room. Thus, Hibari headed to the location of where his answer could be found.
Hibari carefully searched the room, only looking on the outer surface, such as the desk and bathroom for anything that seemed "precious" to the Vongola. However, nothing could be found
The guardian had even checked the dresser and still nothing. All that was left was the nightstand beside the table.
Opening the top drawer, there was nothing in there except for his mittens and pills. The second drawer was empty too except for an empty juice can.
Hibari growled and slammed the drawer shut. The nightstand shook a little, almost causing the lamp on the top to tip over.
Wait…a juice can? Double taking at the item he found, Hibari opened the drawer once again and took the empty can out. Examining what was held in his hand, he found a sticky note wrapped around it. That must have been the next clue, but what interested him more was that this can was awfully familiar. What was weird though is why did Tsuna have an empty juice can in his drawer? That made no sense.
Pulling the note off the can, Hibari read it.
So you found it. Surprised right?
I'm sure you don't even know what this is.
But, it's something that the young man treasures.
I won't tell you, so figure it out yourself.
That caught him off-guard and Hibari paused before continuing on with what was written on the note. This is what he treasured? The guardian was confused to why such a thing was held precious to the Vongola. It was just a silly can.
As Hibari thought about it, it clicked. He laughed quietly, a little amused at how adorable Tsuna could be.
"From that time at the park."
The day Tsuna shared a kiss with Hibari out in public was when he had received a juice can from the man. Curious, he inspected the can further to see if there was anything else on it. And, there was. On the bottom in small print, it read "Indirect first kiss."
Was he stupid? Of course not. But, he was silly. Though cute.
That brought a small smile to Hibari's face. However, once he read the next line on the note, he frowned upon what was written.
2. Who does Sawada Tsunayoshi like?
Author's Note.
OH CRAP. Tsuna :
BUT DON'T WORRY, Hibari to the rescue. Haha but oh lord, who is planning this? ;)
Anyways, sorry for the late update! And that it's short…but I hope you enjoyed it! Thanks for reading and reviewing! The next chapter will be up soon, maybe this weekend? Haha. But oh yes, it's the final chapter too so look forward to it!
