NOTE: So, someone pointed out that I misspelled the Cervello; I've been spelling it Crevello. I won't go back and edit it, but I will be writing it the correct way.

"Tomorrow's match will be between the guardians of storm," the Cervello announced together.
"Hayato is next?" Yamamoto repeated, smiling without a care in the world, his eyes closed and concealing his worry.
Gokudera scoffed and scratched the back of his head in annoyance, "Tch, this is beyond lame." He scratched harder and began to mumble again. The Varia watched confused as the Vongola storm guardian began to wiggle his fingers as if he was counting and his lips were moving too fast for them to read. However, the sky guardian was nodded and shifting his fingers as well, as if he understood what Gokudera was saying and giving his own suggestions.
Then Yamamoto and Ryohei joined the (apparently) conversation, as well as Mukuro and Chrome. Ken was leaning on Chikusa's shoulder, tongue lolling and drooling. Chikusa's face was as blank as ever and his hands were shoved in his pockets. Lambo was sleeping comfortably on Tsuna's back, snoring lightly. The group then suddenly began to leave, still talking and making motions with their fingers.
Squalo raised an eyebrow at their backs, "What the hell is wrong with that family?" No one had an answer to that.

"Goku-chan's late," Tsuna commented crossing his arms.
Yamamoto laughed, "Don't worry boss, he'll be here on time."
Lambo scoffed looking off to the side, arms crossed, "It's not like he can sleep in."
A bomb exploded against the clock on the wall before it reached the time limit and Gokudera's voice growled, "It's impossible for me to over sleep, stupid cow." Lambo just stuck his tongue out at the Italian.
"Because you arrived before the arranged time," the first Cervello started.
"We acknowledge your qualification to participate in this match," the other Cervello finished.
"Then we will now explain the battle field," the first Cervello began. "The battle field tonight is the entire third floor of the school building. Of course that includes the eastern building that is connected with this building as well. Not only the hallway, but the classrooms on this floor are included."
Gokudera frowned thoughtfully, his mumbling coming into play, "Based on the other battles, there will be something that makes it more storm like."
Tsuna heard and understood his mumbling for once and commented quietly, "Chances are, it will destroy any and all obstacles you could use."
Gokudera's head suddenly turned to a classroom as if sensing something and as if to prove Tsuna true, a strong gust of wind made the desks and chairs inside the classroom explode outward. Gokudera sighed, "Sometimes I hate it when you're right, Tuna."
"In various places on the field we have installed the hurricane turbine," the first Cervello stated.
The second Cervello picked up where she left off, "The hurricane turbine has four openings used for producing wind. It's a storm device that can blow a super strong wind randomly from the four openings."
Gokudera raised an eyebrow, "That sounds interesting." He looked at the Cervello and asked, "Can I have one when the battles over?"
Tsuna nodded and while raising his hand asked, "Can I have one too? I want to give it to Sho-chan as a present!"
The first Cervello sighed, shaking her head, "Maybe."
Tsuna smiled wickedly, "If we don't get one, I'll just ask my father to get them for us."
The Cervello twitched and sighed in unison. "However, there's a time limit for this battle, unless either of you complete the ring of storm and possess it within the 15 minutes after the start of the match, the time bomb installed in the hurricane turbines will explode one by one and blow up the entire floor."
"Which means you could be killed," Yamamoto commented, sorrow and worry swimming his eyes. He didn't like the fact that his lover was going to have the threat of death hanging over him in the battle.
Gokudera smirked, though there was minute shaking in his hands, "That just means I'll have to win doesn't it?"
"Hmm? What was that sound of glass breaking?" Shamal questioned as he rested his arms around the Cervello and fondled their breasts. "Is anyone hurt?"
Squalo's and Mammon's eyes widened and Gokudera groaned, smacking his forehead and dragging his hand down his face, "That…moron…!"
As one the Cervello slammed their elbow into Shamal's face and sent him flying into the wall. Holding his bleeding nose and scratched his head, "Ah, they're good. This elasticity is a sign of good health."
Gokudera rolled his eyes, his hands not shaking anymore. "And he still manages to pull random health facts out of his ass," he moaned.
Tsuna shrugged, "At least that way we know he's not seriously hurt."
Gokudera sighed, "True…but still…" Tsuna only chuckled in reply.
"Well, let's do the usual to the extreme!" Ryohei exclaimed loudly, throwing his hands up in the air.
Gokudera's eyes widened, "What?" Ryohei and Yamamoto each grabbed an arm and started to drag him. "Hey, wait! I don't want to do such embarrassing stuff! I don't need to do that before my match!"
Tsuna bit his lip and rubbed his arm, "Ano, Goku-chan, I think I'd feel better if we did do it. So…can we do it…please, Goku-chan?"
Yamamoto laughed, scratching the back of his head, "Are you sure Kyoya would let you?"
Tsuna's wicked smirk replaced his puppy expression, looking pure evil as he answered, "If you let him join us and he dominated." Then like slippery snake he snaked an arm around Gokudera's shoulder and he purred, looking at Yamamoto with half lidded eyes, "Of course, me and Goku-chan would be on the bottom." As if to prove some sort of point that all he was saying was true, he licked the shell of Gokudera's ear.
Yamamoto gulped unnoticeably. Ryohei let a smirk slither on his face as he glanced over at the subtly confused Varia. He then pumped a fist in the air, exclaiming loudly, "Can I join to the extreme!"
Tsuna glanced to where Ryohei was hinting at subtly and smirked, "Of course, Ryo-chan, you and Hana could join."
Ryohei allowed a deadly smirk to join his features before it vanished into an exuberant grin and he shouted loudly so the Varia could hear, "HAREM TO THE EXTREME!"
Lambo blinked and unplugged his headphones, "What are we talking about?"
Mukuro did his Kufufuing and asked, "What about me and my little Chrome?"
Tsuna waved his hand carelessly, "Don't worry, you're invited too." He then turned to Lambo, "I'll tell you when you're older."
Lambo shrugged, "Alright, whatever."
Finally done destroying any image they had with the Varia, the teens created their circle and shouted, "HAYATO, OH!"
Gokudera grinned to himself and broke away from the group, "Alright, let's do this."
"Then the two of you please come to the middle," the Cervello ordered subtly, of course. Gokudera scoffed and walked forward, his nervousness gone. "By the way, since the battle field is enormous we have installed video cameras in all of the classrooms and hallways. You can observe the battle from the bleachers beside the school building."
Lasers appeared before Tsuna, blocking his way into the battle field. "At the same time, to avoid interference in the battle an infrared ray sensor device is set up between the bleachers and the battle area," the second Cervello explained.
Tsuna pouted, "Aw, I wanted to give Goku-chan a kiss before the battle started!"
"Isn't that Yamamoto Takeshi's job, Tsunayoshi?" Hibari's deep voice questioned.
Yamamoto and Ryohei laughed, while Lambo rolled his eyes when Tsuna smiled brightly and glomped his lover, "Kyou-chan!"
"Tsunayoshi, what is that herbivore doing?" Hibari asked, eyes narrowing.
Tsuna tilted his head and looked over to where his lover was looking. Belphegor was getting close to Gokudera. His brown eyes narrowed, "Yes, what is he doing?"
"I heard you use bombs? Well, I guess it's obvious just by looking at you," Belphegor commented, grinning his signature grin. The prince placed a hand on the bomber's shoulder as he advised, "Don't be so nervous, and take a load off your shoulders." He then walked away, grinning.
On the other hand, however, Gokudera froze his face growing dark to dangerous levels. Turning his glare to the Cervello he growled, "Start the damn battle."
The Cervello winced and unconsciously took a step back. "Then for the ring of storm, Belphegor vs. Gokudera Hayato. Begin the match!"
Meanwhile, Yamamoto winced, "Ouch, that guy is going to get his ass handed to him." There was one thing above all others that Gokudera despised. Being touched in anyway by people he didn't know on a personal level. Yamamoto had been an exception, because he had pieced together that he was 'Yama-chan' from the fact that Tsuna was there.
Shamal raised an eyebrow and inquired, "What do you mean?"
Lambo was the one who answered, surprisingly, "Bakadera-nii hates…no…he loathes being touched in anyway by people he does not know on a personal level."
Tsuna's face split into a shit-eating grin, "This is going to be fun."
Hibari nodded in agreement. He had seen what had happened the last time someone Gokudera didn't know touched him. There had been carnage. Yamamoto chuckled, "I'll have to agree with you there, boss." Mukuro did his Kufufuing and Chrome rolled her eyes.

Gokudera stared blankly at his opponent, who was grinning at him. Gokudera tilted his head and he started, "There's one thing you should know, before we fight…" Gokudera's whole visage changed. His eyes narrowed, his pupils contracting into slits, small fangs peeked over his bottom lip, and his lips stretched into a wide, feral grin. His fingers flexed as if he was sheathing and unsheathing claws and he finished, his eyes widening to an almost insane level, "The tenth generation has one thing in common that all of us have."
Without warning Gokudera jumped over the wind that exploded from a classroom, a bomb in each hand, and he landed in front of Belphegor, his right arm striking out in a wide arc. Belphegor jumped back and looked down at the still crouched figure in surprise. The half-Italian tilted his head up and stared at Belphegor, grinning that feral grin, "We all have an animalistic thirst for battle and blood."
He shot off once again, bouncing off the walls, for better momentum. He appeared once again in front of Belphegor, but this time the prince was ready for him. The knives cut into the bomber's skin, but he paid no attention to that. Without warning, the fuses on his bombs were lit and he tossed them at Belphegor. The prince jumped back and the bombs exploded.
Through the smoke, Gokudera dashed out, new weapons in his hands.
Tsuna smirked, "Looks like he expanded."
Shamal blinked, "Huh?"
Tsuna's smirk widened and he didn't take his eyes of the screen, "Watch."
Gokudera's torso was low to the ground, and one arm was bent in front of him while the other was trailing behind him. The lights in the hallway glinted off of something and Shamal's eyes widened, "Daggers?"
Gokudera slashed at Belphegor and the blonde blocked with his knife, but barely. The silver haired teen slashed his other dagger in an upper arc, and Belphegor jumped back. Gokudera gave his opponent no time to gain his bearings as he was upon the blonde again. He was coming from above, having bounced off the wall to avoid another stream of wind, and held his daggers in an X shape in front of him.
Belphegor jumped back again and chucked a good amount of knives at his airborne opponent. Gokudera scowled and knocked most out of the way, but one sunk into his side and two others hit his left thigh. He landed awkwardly and gritted his teeth at the pain. Seeing Belphegor about to send another wave of knives at him, the teen slipped his daggers up his sleeves and pulled out a load of dynamite.
Without any care of killing his opponent or not, just blood would suffice, he chucked it at the prince. The resulting explosion sent him flying back into a classroom. He scoffed and spit out some blood. He coughed quietly and carefully removed the knives in his body. He also removed the string attached to his shoulder. He growled and lifted himself up, grunting at the effort.
The half-Italian slipped his daggers into his hands and carefully crept to the doorway. He peered over the edge of the doorway and quirked an eyebrow at the sight of a laughing, but bleeding Varia member he rolled his eyes. "Well, aren't they a bunch of weirdoes."
He touched the wound on his side tenderly and blood coated his fingers. He blinked and absent mindedly licked the blood of his fingers. Tsuna blinked and laced his fingers with his lover's, "He doesn't even know how erotic he looks right now, does he?"
Yamamoto gave a gruff laugh, "He never does."
Tsuna smirked at Yamamoto, "Teaser that doesn't know, huh? Must be torture for you." Yamamoto only growled softly, though his smile was still there, it just had more of an edge to it. Tsuna chuckled quietly and rested his head on Hibari's shoulder.
Gokudera rolled his eyes mentally at his family before shifting into position and exiting the classroom just as one of the hurricane turbines released its wind. He moved low to the ground, going faster than before and slashed at the prince. The blonde laughed happily and blocked with his own knife. "The royal family blood's flowing…!"
Gokudera slashed with his other dagger and quipped, "The only thing royal about you is being a pain in the ass."
Belphegor locked the dagger with another knife and mocked, "You don't have anywhere to go!"
A shit-eating grin slithered onto the bomber's face and all the males in the vicinity winced as the half-Italian kneed the Varia member in the groin. Gokudera slammed his foot into the prince's back, making him eat the floor and snarked, "I'm not against hitting low levels." He then kicked the blonde out of the way and slipped his daggers up his sleeves, and took out dynamite again.
He chucked the dynamite with careless precision and they all landed on their target. The explosion rocked the school. Gokudera navigated easily through the smoke and when it cleared it showed him standing over his unmoving opponent. He crouched down and grasped the other half of the storm ring. His grip tightened and with a snap the chain came off. As he was about to click the pieces together, a bloody hand gripped his wrist.
Gokudera stared down at Belphegor emotionlessly. Hibari smirked, "That herbivore did it again."
Tsuna smiled childishly, "He just might lose a hand then."
Gokudera's gaze sharpened and turned dangerous. In a quiet voice he ordered, "Let go."
"No, a prince always wins!" Belphegor spat, his grip tightening.
The silver haired teen glared down at his opponent and the blonde ignored the tiny twinge of fear. The hand that was gripping the ring around his neck let go and snaked around Belphegor's wrist. His nails dug into the Varia member's skin and forcefully removed the hand. "60 seconds left," the Cervello announced.
Gokudera jumped away and clicked the two halves together. The Cervello appeared and announced as one, "Winner of the storm battle, Gokudera Hayato."
Tsuna walked over to his storm guardian and lightly touched his shoulder. Gokudera looked over his shoulder at his boss and calmed down somewhat. He only calmed all the way when Yamamoto laced their hands together. The half-Italian rested his head on the taller boy's shoulder tiredly. The baseball player ran his fingers through his lover's hair and murmured nothing to the shorter boy.
Squalo swung the blonde over his shoulder, scowling. The Cervello rolled their eyes at the glare set on them and announced, "The next ring battle is between the Rain Guardians."
Yamamoto's smile sharpened and Tsuna commented, crossing his arms, "Looks like it's your turn to play, Yama-chan."
"Seems like it."

OMAKE!
The prince placed a hand on the bomber's shoulder as he advised, "Don't be so nervous, and take a load off your shoulders." He then walked away, grinning.
The moment Belphegor walked away, Gokudera's face morphed into a horrified look and he frantically brushed his shoulder off, "Ew, ew, ew, ew ,ew! Jkdhfhgbjasgh!" Gibberish spewed from the half-Italian's lips as he tried to frantically brush off any germs the Varia member might of left.
Of course, since he was brushing his shoulder so roughly, the string, Belphegor attached came off.
With no one the wiser.
