Target 11: Mukuro Appears!

A small tray of microwave food was pushed through a metal opening of the cell. The second the whole tray was inside the area, the sound of scraping keys and clanging locks echoed through the eerie atmosphere.

Tsuna didn't wish to eat the food.

It wasn't because he was wary of the Cervello Family and what would happen if he ate too much of their food. After all, he does have to survive somehow, especially knowing that the Vongola family and Yukiko's Artiglio family were figuring out how to get them back and that if the Cervello wished to kill them, they would have gladly done so long ago.

It was because the second he ate one morsel of food, the disgusting, numbing feeling of having his flames sucked out greedily overwhelmed him before he could gain enough strength to do… something… anything. However, he knew that he still had to stay alive.

"Right, I've got it."

Tsuna looked at his silver haired cellmate who was holding a tiny piece of bread, "Got what?"

"The times of the vacuum."

"Times?"

Yukiko used the edge of a piece of rock to draw in the ground, "The vacuum can't go on for too long because there would have to be someone controlling it. I assumed that it was almost impossible to keep the rate of the vacuum up for days at a time so there was bound to be a weak point somewhere."

Tsuna had realised this unconsciously. The multiple times he had seen Yukiko try to activate her flames, especially after eating half a mouthful of food, had got him wondering what the hell she was up to.

"That means there's a time when the vacuum is strongest, but also a time when the vacuum is the weakest."

Tsuna nodded, knowing where she was going with this revelation.

"When we receive our food, the rest of the Cervello would be eating as well, otherwise it'd be annoying to supply us with this at different times so at the times before we receive our food, the vacuum would be the weakest."

Yukiko looked at Tsuna quietly, smirking lightly.

Now that the times of the vacuum had been discovered, it was time to plan an escape.

o.o.o.o

"EXTREME!"

"NO, MAXIMUM!"

"EXTREME'S BETTER!"

Mary-Anne and Ryohei continued to argue over which phrase was better. Occasionally glancing around, the two of them yelled vehemently at each other for a good half of an hour, only stopping when a poison needle, dynamite or a lash of a silver whip narrowly missed them.

Hana, Mei and Gokudera glared at the two loudest members of the families, each taking a deep breath before yelling, "THEY BOTH MEAN THE SAME THING YOU (GODDAMN) IDIOTS!"

Yamamoto laughed merrily from his spot. Who needs television or computers when you've got your entertainment right in front of you? "Maa maa! Keep it down a bit or the Little Guy would go after you."

"Stupid Turf Head…" Gokudera muttered.

"WHAT WAS THAT, OCTOPUS HEAD?"

o.o.o.o

Both Hibiki and Chrome stayed quiet throughout their little walk to a wide clearing. Occasionally, a sound such as a rustle in a nearby bush would disturb the quiet and, in response, Chrome would strengthen her grip on her weapon nervously. The two of them stopped simultaneously when they reached their destination and Hibiki's eyes widened slightly in surprise.

The fast flowing stream that had caused so much hassle in the Maze Fight had miraculously turned into an obedient little rivulet. Compared to the loud, frightening sound of deadly, fast flowing rivers, the picturesque area was completely peaceful and silent. Hibiki turned to the wide-eyed girl wearing her Kokuyo uniform. She stared back, unsure of what to say or do.

"Um…" Chrome began.

"You."

Hibiki turned around to see a certain Disciplinary Committee Head looking back at him with Hibird flapping its wings in the air. Hibari (who looked as though he just woke up from a nap) stood up slowly, brushing off his clothing twice before staring coldly at the two other people.

"You disturbed my nap," Hibari continued, "I'll bite you to death."

'There's that line again,' Hibiki thought as he took out his twin daggers, ready for another fight.

Suddenly, Chrome whispered a small, "Mukuro-sama," and Hibiki almost straightened up immediately in confusion. Surely the person who had been interrupted from his sleep was called "Hibari". Was there another person in the vicinity?

A small gust of wind blew over their heads as a strange curling substance surrounded the Vongola Family's Mist guardian. Hibari lowered his weapon, curious as to what was about to happen. A simple, small laugh was all that was needed to cancel out all of Hibiki's questions and Hibari's curiosity.

"Kufufu~"

Standing in Chrome's stead, was a man. He was taller than her and held himself more confidently. There were more changes here and there but what made Hibiki and Hibari simply stand there and blink was the fact that Chrome and this new man had exactly the same haircut.

The substance surrounding the man disappeared as his smirk grew wider and wider. There was a quiet swish in the air as Hibari raised his tonfas silently, moving back into his fighting stance.

"What are you doing here, herbivore?" Hibari questioned, staring down Mukuro.

"Kufufu~ The baby and Tsunayoshi Sawada struck me a bargain to meet the Artiglio Famiglia's Mist guardian. Of course, I didn't know that you would be here, Hibari Kyoya," he replied, pointing the blade of his trident upwards.

"Perfect. I wanted to finish our fight, herbivore."

"I was thinking the same thing."

Just like that, the two of them started to fight. Hibiki watched as Mukuro and Hibari darted in and out of their fight. Metal against metal, the reverberating sounds echoed around the clearing. Contemplating on whether the fight should go on or should be stopped, Hibiki sat down against a tree and waited, knowing well that he was going to be there for a long time.

Short chapter... Ah well...
