Chapter 11: Finding the Hostages

-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-

Tsuna's guardians were on their way to find the hostages. Hibari and Mukuro ventured on their own, Gokudera and the others entered the school.

"What… the hell…" Gokudera said, his eyes twitching in annoyance.

"Is this an illusion?" Yamamoto asked. Chrome shook her head "This is not an illusion; it seems to be made from real materials."

"I EXTREMELY DON'T UNDERSTAND!" Ryohei shouted and pumped his fists in the air.

"SHUT UP LAWN-HEAD! EXPLAINING THIS TO YOU WILL TAKE FOREVER!"

"WHAT DID YOU SAY OCTOPUS-HEAD?!"

"ARE YOU DEAF NOW?!"

"NANI?!"

"YOU HEARD ME!"

"O-Oi… aren't we supposed to be searching for the hostages?" The baseball-player reminded the two loud guardians.

"Bossu will be disappointed if we don't find the hostages…" The mist guardian added.

"Tch." The bomber scowled, mumbling curses as well. "Just so you know I'm stopping this because of the tenth." He folded his arms and looked away.

"I EXTREMELY GET IT!" Ryohei punched in the air.

"Shut up, you're making my eardrums pop." Gokudera commented.

"I EXTREMELY GOING TO PUNCH YOU! –OW!" the sun stopped when a shinai hit his head.

"Ahahaha… I'm so sorry about that sempai but we really need to find those students."

"But when you think about it… how are we going to find them if the school has been changed to a maze?" Chrome questioned. She tapped the walls of the maze hoping that it would break.

"Maa, let's just split up like Tsuna told us. I'm sure that we'll somehow find them… I think…"

"I think?" The bomber's eye twitched again in annoyance. "WHAT THE FREAKIN' HELL DO YOU THINK THAT 'I THINK' WOULD HELP?!" He held out dynamites. "This is a HUGE school! A FREAKIN HUGE school! There are only six people searching in the FREAKIN HUGE school! It would be take us hours searching for those WRETCHED students in this FREAKIN HUGE school that HAS BEEN TURNED INTO A FREAKIN HUGE MAZE!" his dynamites ignited one by one.

"Haha… That's a lot of 'freakin huge'" The baseball player put both hands behind his head. "How about we search them?"

"I agree. Bossu would be mad if we don't find them…"

"And you heard it! Nobody wants to see a mad Tsuna right?"

Everyone shuddered in fear as they remembered the last time Tsuna got mad.

"I guess I'll agree just this once…"

"I extremely don't want to experience it again…"

"Then let's go!"

They went into the school maze. "I feel like a lab rat…" Gokudera mumbled.

"Yosh! Chrome and I will take the left!" Yamamoto pointed with his arm to the left.

"MATTE! Why do I get paired up with LOUD MOUTH OVER HERE?!" The bomber pointed to Ryohei.

Yamamoto shrugged "I don't know, maybe it's because Tsuna that made the pair…"

"If the tenth says so…"

They went with their separate ways.

-With Yamamoto and Chrome-

The two of them went to the left path. They managed to choose paths that have dead ends. They went left, right, left, straight, right, and so on… After some time of running around in the maze, they found an interesting treasure chest. The chest had something written on it 'If you want to get the students, you must complete the tasks inside.'

Yamamoto opened the chest, a blinding light engulfed them. Both Chrome and Yamamoto were sucked into the chest.

Yamamoto was first to wake up after being sucked inside the chest. He saw the students sitting comfortably in seats that are found in cinemas. Some were chatting with each other, eating popcorns or sleeping soundly in their seats. He examined his surroundings furthermore. He was inside a theatre, turning his head to the floor on his right was Chrome still knocked unconscious. He noticed a paper lying on the floor a few meters away from him. He picked it up and saw a task list.

There was:

-Catch the class' attention

-Find a way to get out

-get out of the maze

He can see that this was the said tasks to be completed. The first is: Catch the class' attention. He tried to shout out to them…

"…" The students didn't respond. Yamamoto shouted again and waved his hands this time. "…" Still no reaction. Chrome woke up.

"Good to see you're awake, Chrome."

Chrome nodded "Where is this place?"

"This is the inside of the treasure chest… I think."

"What's that?" Chrome pointed at the paper on Yamamoto's hand.

He lifted his hand "This is a task list." Then he gave a sad smile "And I can't complete the first task…"

"Which is?"

"Catch the class' attention."

"Did you try shouting to them?" Yamamoto nodded. "It seems that they can't hear me…"

"Then let me try…" Chrome focused herself in creating an illusion. She twirled her trident and slammed it against the floor. A Ryohei illusion appeared. "You might want to cover your ears…" she said.

Yamamoto covered his ears. He didn't quite understand why he needs to cover his ears when it's only an illusion.

3…

2…

1…

"KYOOOOOOOOOOOKUUUUUUUGEEEEEE EEEEENNN!" The illusion shouted which may cause any windows and uncovered ears to burst. His shout created an earthquake.

Windows and a barrier that surrounded them shattered to pieces. "So that's why they didn't hear me…" Yamamoto mused.

The class stared at them. Everybody paused on what they were doing, the asleep became awake, the people that were eating stopped, those who were chatting jumped in surprise and looked at the stage and the remaining people also looked at them.

The first task slowly disappeared from the paper. "Oh! It looks like we completed the first one! Now we need to get out of here!" Yamamoto happily said.

"But how?"

"I don't know"

This would take a long time for figuring…

-With Gokudera and Ryohei-

Beep! Beep! Beep! Shout detected, commencing punishment.

A great electric shock was enforced on Ryohei. "AHHHHH! I EXTREMLY DON'T UNDERSTAND!"

Bee! Beep! Beep! 'Extreme' detected, commencing second punishment.

"NGGH!" As the electric shock enveloped him, there was something red forming on his body. His uniform was replaced by something red. The electric shock subsided. Ryohei is now wearing a sparkly red dress. He fell on all fours then a light from above hit him "I'm wearing a red dress… My manliness… gone…"

"Hahaha! You look stupid right now lawn-head!" Gokudera insulted.

"I didn't shout just awhile ago!" He said, keeping his voice to a minimum.

Beep! Beep! Beep! Insult detected, commencing punishment

"AHHHHH! DAMN IT ALL!" An electric shock was also enforced on Gokudera

Beep! Beep! Beep! Cussing detected, commencing second punishment.

The shock enveloped him. As it disappeared, Gokudera was wearing a frilly maid outfit. His face became a weird drawing (Imagine a weird sketch of him with shadow effects) and a light from above appeared "Why did I deserve this?" A tear flowed out of his eyes as he closed them.

It took a few minutes or so for them to get over it. They walked again to search for the exit.

-FLASHBACK-

Gokudera and Ryohei took the right path. Gokudera and Ryohei were being serious just for the time being. They encountered a path with two options: Left or right

"I choose left/right." They said in sync.

"Left"

"Right"

"LEFT!"

"RIGHT!"

"I said left OCTOPUS-HEAD!"

"I say right! LAWN-HEAD!"

"I AM OLDER THAN YOU SO IT'S LEFT!"

"I AM THE TENTH'S RIGHT-HAND SO RIGHT!"

"LEFT IS WHAT MY EXTREME MANLY INTUITIONS SAYS!"

"YOUR INTUITIONS IS ALWAYS WRONG SO WE'RE TAKING RIGHT!"

"HOW ABOUT WE SETTLE THIS RIGHT HERE AND RIGHT NOW?!"

"YOU'RE ON!"

Ryohei lifted his fist in the air and so does Gokudera. "Ready and…" They slammed their fist in mid-air.

"Hahaha! I EXTREMELY win! Rock beats paper!" Ryohei gloated

Gokudera twitched "BAKA! PAPER BEATS ROCK! MEAING I WIN AND YOU LOSE!"

They went right and went to a long straight path. While walking they saw a button ahead. They dashed to it. Under the button it says there: Do not push the button. "Should we push it?" Ryohei asked

"BAKA! It's already said don't push!"

"But doesn't this EXTREMELY bother you not knowing what it is?"

"Maa… I guess there is no harm in it…"

Ryohei EXTREMELY pushed the button. Two mechanical arms appeared and attached a collar on each of them.

"To remove us, you must complete our tasks." The collars spoke.

"The students you will rescue are outside the maze." Gokudera's collar said.

"... And your task is not to shout nor say 'extreme'." Ryohei's collar announced

"…And for you, your task is neither to cuss nor insult." Gokudera's collar announced

"Prepare for the punishments if ever you fail these tasks." Both the collars added.

"They sound like those Cervello girls…" Gokudera commented.

Ryohei just nodded and they continued to search for the exit.

-END OF FLASHBACK-

"I wonder what tenth is doing right now…" The silverette wondered out loud. "What so you think he's doing right now lawn –err… Ryohei?" He immediately corrected himself. He felt uncomfortable with the calling he's giving for the sun guardian.

"I don't know but Sawada must extre –err be fine…" Ryohei answered. He was trying hard to resist not shouting. He was pretty much not happy that the word 'extreme' was forcefully taken away from his vocabulary list.

"I guess you're right… The tenth won't be defeated that easily…" The silverette said.

While they were walking, Gokudera got tripped by a stone. "GGah! SHIT!" Then his eyes widened "Fuck I forgot about the task!"

Beep! Beep! Beep! Cussing detected, commencing third punishment.

"AHHHHH!" He received a greater shock and his frilly maid outfit morphed into a sexy black bunny outfit. He wore a white collar and a flurry black ribbon. Large bunny ears on his head, one was standing straight and the other was bended. Then he had fluffy puff tail on his back side and fishnet leggings for his legs with 1 inch high heels for his feet. Plus there are cuffs on his wrists (I'm not so sure if those are called cuffs… please do correct me if I'm wrong…)

He fell on his knees and looked up then another light from above appeared "My pride as a man… gone…" Then comical tears flowed out.

"AHAHAHAHA! YOU EXTREMELY LOOK LIKE A GIRL!" Ryohei laughed to his heart's content.

Beep! Beep! Beep! Shouting and 'extreme' detected, commencing double punishment.

The man received the deadliest punishment. The shock was terrifying, as if it came from above. Then his sparkly red dress turned into an orange tank top with blue tight shorts (Imagine Kyoko's outfit when they went to the beach.)

Gokudera wanted to laugh badly. Ryohei looks like a freakin' gay! But if he laughs he might receive a much dreadful punishment.

Ryohei turned into a stone.

Then after a few minutes or so again… they began for their search for the exit again but this time they made their mouths shut tight.

-With Hibari-

He walked in the maze first to find those students. The walls reached the ceiling so it's impossible for him to jump on the maze top to make things easier. He exasperatedly sighed and ventured the maze.

He was pissed, pissed because he keeps on getting to dead ends. He couldn't find any ways that could let him find the students. He goes back to his previous position and went to a path that he hasn't been through yet. He found a straight path. Walking to that path was another dead end. A small tick mark appeared on his temple. His mood darkened and his patience was slipping away from him. He took out his tonfas and covered it with cloud flames. One powerful strike on the wall revealed Enma, Bianchi and the other students that were unconscious.

"Omedetou, you found the third batch of hostages." The jack-in-the-box announced. "As a congratulatory prize you must complete the task before taking them." He added. The jack-in-the-box opened and charged Hibari. It managed to wrap itself around the Skylark and dragged him to the unconscious students. The toy may look weak but it was strong and heavy. The metal spring was the one that added weight. "Join the crowd for an hour" the toy said, attaching itself to the ground.

Hibari was struggling against the spring but it was heavy to move out of it. "After this I'll bite you to death."

-With Mukuro-

He walked in the maze with no care in the world. He examined the walls and took his time. He walked in there as if he knows the path to the exit. "Estraneo family hasn't change one bit…" He said to himself.

"Kufufu…" He chuckled then ventured the maze. He turned to the left and saw a treasure chest. He opened it then jumped back. A huge light shot out of the chest. It revealed a mountain of students with Yamamoto and Chrome on top of them.

"Good job Chrome!" Yamamoto said as the second task in their list disappeared. "I didn't do anything…"

"Heh? Then how did we go out?" Chrome pointed at the man in front. "OH! You're here Mukuro!

"Kufufu, I just happen to pass by…"

"Thank you for letting us out Mukuro." Yamamoto grinned.

"It wasn't my intention to free you if Chrome weren't with you…" He replied

"Is that so? Still, thank you!"

"Mukuro-sama… I…" Chrome hesitated. "I… I'm sorry…" she looked down.

"Oya, oya there is no need to apologize my dear Chrome." He patted the girl's head. "For the time being, tie them with your illusions since they won't see through it." Chrome nodded then tapped her trident against the floor. The students were tied together and were dragged to wherever they were headed.

They turned right then left and saw a dead end. They went back to their previous position and went to the straight path. They saw a supposed dead end but is now broken down. They went inside and saw more students plus Enma and Bianchi but what they didn't expect was Hibari in between and struggling against a toy.

"Kufufu… Oya, oya it seems that Skylark-kun is losing to a toy…" Mukuro annoyed. The heterochromatic man gasped "Don't tell me… it defeated you?"

It only made Hibari mood to darken. He tried to struggle even harder but it made him more tired. He looked at the timer… 30 minutes before he could be released.

"Chrome, get the students." She nodded and tied them together then was dragged out of the room, leaving Hibari alone with the toy.

"Kufufu… I'll be waiting outside the maze…" He said to the prefect then went their separate ways.

"Oi Mukuro, aren't we getting Hibari?" Yamamoto asked

"It would just make him angry…" He answered "Besides we have tons of students right now. I'm sure he would rather stay here than come with us… to crowd together"

Yamamoto nodded understandingly. Then they left the prefect alone to handle the toy.

They went back to finding the exit with new students being dragged. It was hard since the unconscious ones are hard to drag literally and the fact that they were heavy is slowing them down. Mukuro visited those student's dreams one by one.

The student woke up with simultaneous screams. "Good, now everyone's awake. Let's get moving." Mukuro ignored the frightened looks the students were giving and a chibi Mukuro in his head was dancing and praising him for he did a good job for waking them up.

The others sweat dropped at that.

"Let's go." Mukuro pulled the rope and went back to leading the way to the exit.

They ventured again. They kept on turning and turning. The turn to the right then to the left then right again then another right and then going straight and then another turn to the right again and then a left and so on…

"Mukuro… are you sure we're going the right way?" Yamamoto questioned.

"Hm? Are you saying that I'm going to the wrong way and that we're going around in circles?" The pineapple headed man replied. "If so you are wrong. I have been in this place once and never have I been lost here before."

"Are you really sure?" The baseball player made sure

"Why do you say that?"

Yamamoto pointed to the broke wall were Hibari was supposedly held captive by the jack-in-the-box.

"Kufufu I am not a perfect being thus I make mistakes." Mukuro replied, hiding his mistake for the 'never lost' part.

Then everyone sweat dropped again

"AHHH! $ %#^& " A certain bomber cursed in frustration

Beep! Beep! Beep! Cussing detected, commencing punishment

"GRAAHHHH!"

Everyone say a blinding light. They ran to it and saw a Gokudera. They froze for a moment and tried to comprehend what they were seeing. Gokudera was wearing a pink two-piece bikini? Wait Sasagawa-san was wearing a one piece swimsuit? What the hell?

"My EYES! IT BUUURNS!" A student shouted and covered his eyes.

"EVERYONE COVER YOUR EYES!" Someone shouted to his fellow students

"I am… forever tainted…" Another student mumbled to himself.

"KAMI-SAMA WHY DID I DESRVE THIS?!" He kneeled, looked up and clenched his hands into fists.

A throbbing tick mark appeared on the bomber's head.

"I will tell you one thing. It's because of this collar so stop shouting those kinds of things." Gokudera sternly reprimanded.

"Ne, Gokudera why are you in that outfit?" Yamamoto asked again

"I already said it's because of the collar." He kept his voice calm despite his patience dropping by the second.

"How?"

"You don't want to know."

"Sempai, how did that collar change your clothes?" The baseball redirected his question to his senior.

"I'm sorry… but you don't want to know." Ryohei repeated the same answer

Yamamoto noticed something in this "Sempai… It's unusual for you not to add 'extreme' in your sentences…"

"Maa, don't sweat the small stuff and let's get going." Ryohei put his hands on hips and grinned widely.

"Sempai… it's rare for you not to shout…"

He flinched a little "Ehem… don't sweat the small stuff." Then he marched away.

Then they continued once more to find the maze exit.

Imagine the game snake. They went to the right then left and the cycle continues. They saw a hedgehog going their way. "Kyuuu." He greeted

"Isn't that the cloud man's animal?" Chrome wondered out loud. The hedgehog multiplied to two then four then eight then sixteen then thirty-two and so and so forth. It created a trail leading somewhere.

They followed it and saw a light at the end of the path. It was the exit of the maze.

Gokudera and Ryohei' collars lit green and slowly disappeared. Their current outfits returned to their normal uniforms. They sighed in relief. Then the maze slowly disappeared as well.

"Omedetou Gozaimasu! You found all the hostages and found the exit!" The jack-in-the-box spoke. Hibari glared at it, the box jumped back. "D-D-Don't get me wrong! I am here to give you back the students!" it stuttered. "I-I am i-instructed to hand them over!"

"Hn."

"Kufufu now that we have all the hostages, let's call Sawada Tsunayoshi. I bet he would be worried sick or worse angry if we don't contact him." Mukuro reminded.

"I'll go to the tenth right away!" Gokudera ran as if his life depended on it.

"I'm coming with you!" Enma ran with him.

-With Tsuna-

"What's taking them so long?" Tsuna, who was not in HDWM, walk back and forth the room. "It's already an hour and thirty minutes!"

"I bet they're lost." Montano sneered.

"It seems that you don't know when to shut up." He lowered his tone. "Trust me, you don't want to see me angry."

"Heh! Try me." The enemy challenged.

Tsuna's mood just turned from bad to worse. "Do you know who my tutor is?"

Montano gulped "T-The a-arcobaleno R-Reborn…" Tsuna smirked at this.

"What does he specialize on?"

"Killing?"

"Think of another."

"Research gathering?"

"No…"

"What is it?"

Tsuna looked down on Montano and creepily smiled "He specializes on sadistic measures, and thanks to him I also have my own sadistic nature."

The enemy paled and shivered at the sight of the brunet. Tsuna went to the students and seems to be asking for something. Hana gave it to him. As the brunet turned around he could have sworn that the girl was smirking and staring intently at him. He looked at what the brunet was holding, it was a dagger… the same dagger that the fake Kyoko possessed.

"You seem to be a brave one to anger me Montano Estraneo." Tsuna walked to his direction, swinging the dagger from side to side. "According to Fuuta's rankings, I'm ranked second to Reborn when it comes to sadistic nature." He stared intently at him. "And I don't read people's files for nothing…" He closed in on Montano. He lifted the dagger on his hand near Montano's goatee "you look so proud with your goatee… Do you want me to clean it for you?"

"No! nonononono! Please don't! I'll do anything! Anything! Just don't mess the goatee! I've been desperate taking care of it! PLEASE NO!"

"I'm sorry… You challenged me and now I'm angry…" Tsuna innocently said with a creepy smile on his face and shaved Montano's goatee. His chin became shiny and sparkly.

"Nooooo!" then he fell unconscious.

The door slammed open "Tenth we have good news for you…" Gokudera fell dead silent. He saw his boss' sadistic smile.

Enma followed from behind "The hostages have been found! Tsuna-kun…" He also fell silent.

"Is that so…" The brunet took a deep breath then smiled "That's good to hear." 180 degree turn of attitude for the brunet.

They sweat dropped.

"What were you doing with the dagger Tsuna-kun?" Enma weakly pointed at the item on Tsuna's hand.

"Ah… This?" he showed the dagger. "Montano just happened to anger me and I shaved his goatee just awhile ago…" He smiled. That smile made the shivers run their spines. "Let's go!"

"H-Hai…"

~OWARI~

-OMAKE-

HOW TO GET OUT OF HEAVY SPRINGS!

Hibari was left alone, Mukuro dragged the students out. He was alone with the annoying jack-in-the-box.

"Ne! ne! Do you know who I am?"

"…"

"Ne! ne! Why is the sky blue?

"…"

"Ne! Ne! Do you like your boss?"

A tick mark appeared on Hibari's head.

"Ne! Ne! Do you like sakuras?"

Hibari's mood dropped big time. He wants to bite the toy to death

"Ne! Ne! Have you been on a picnic with people?"

Hibari was getting irritated by its questions. He doesn't like the topic he was getting into.

"Ne! Ne! Have you been in a toy convention?"

That's it, he snapped. "Roll" he called out. A hedgehog sprung out of his Vongola gear. "Propagate"

"Kyuuu." The hedgehog propagated while avoiding hitting his master. The spring became loose.

Before the toy could tighten itself, Hibari jumped out and readied his tonfas "I'll bite you to death!" He attacked the poor toy's springs and became bent and squiggly. Hibari left the toy and went to find his way out with roll creating trails on his back.

-OMAKE-
