Note: Right. Hi. Sorry for not posting for like... more than a month? Forgive me! I was having my exams and last week I was doing something else so this came out one week behind schedule. Good news is that I decided to merge two of the chapters that I planned into this one since both were so short anyway. Well, I hope you enjoy this...
I do not own Hetalia or KHR.
Last Chapter...
"Ciaossu!"
"Reborn! What are you doing here?! I thought you were busy!" Tsuna exclaimed.
"Shut up, Dame-Tsuna." Reborn replied, kicking Tsuna on the head.
"Infant." Greeted Hibari.
"Hibari. And I see that everyone is out." Reborn commented.
"Acrobaleno." Romano said, seeing Reborn.
"It's good to see you, Romano Italy. You and the other nations." Reborn replied him, smiling.
"Dude! Is that a talking baby?! That's so cool!" America yelled, shifting excitedly. His sudden movement caused England to wince in pain as he was jostled sharply from his position.
Noticing his brother's wince, Wales said, "Perhaps we should move on to where we should go?"
"Of course. Come." Reborn replied. He walked through the door which was large enough for all of them to go through without stooping, even Russia did not have to. As they walked down the long corridor, Tsuna turned around only to see that the door had disappeared.
"Reborn… Where are we?" Tsuna asked hesitantly.
"We are in the new Vongola base, underneath Namimori Middle School." Reborn answered.
The whole Vongola Family stopped and stared wide-eyed at Reborn before turning to face Hibari who had narrowed his eyes in annoyance and anger. "Infant, what is the meaning of this?" Hibari asked, his voice dangerous.
"It was the easiest place, since all of all of you go there almost everyday." Reborn explained.
"Hn. Who authorised this?" Hibari asked, tone promising pain for whoever did it without his consent.
"You principal didn't mind us building something under the school and Tetsuya understood our reason." Reborn replied, thinking back to when he actually just told the both of them that Hibari wanted the base to be built there. "Anyway it's built and there's no point destroying it. That and destroying it may cause the entire school to collapse." Reborn added, upon seeing Hibari's expression.
"… Fine then." Hibari relented. Everyone sighed in relief. Reborn smiled, knowing that Hibari would never do anything that might bring harm to his school.
"Anyway, the Milliefore is now a major threat to the Vongola. We will have to retaliate." Reborn said solemnly.
"Re…retaliate?! Reborn… but…" Tsuna said, glancing at the nations behind him.
"Dammit Vongola Decimo! Don't tell me that you are worried about us!" Romano growled, having noticed the glance.
"Aye. They went after six of us. And, more importantly, he hurt my wee brother. For that, we will fight with ye. We'll show them not to mess with the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. When ye attack one of us, ye attack all of us." Scotland said, his eyes darkening at the thought of attacking the Milliefore.
"Well said brawd." Wales commented, smirking, he too ready to strike back.
"I'll fight too. Fratello and I can't allow the Milliefore Famiglia to keep harming the rest of our citizens." Italy announced, surprising most of the nations there.
"As the hero, I'll fight too!" America yelled.
"It would be an honour to fight with you." Japan said politely.
"Well… Since Ita and Roma are fighting…" Spain said, shrugging, though everyone knew it was just an act. He really wanted in on the action; that much was clear from the look in his eyes.
"The awesome me and France will go too! The Bad Touch Trio will always stick together!" Prussia announced, France nodding in agreement.
"I'll fight too." Canada said softly, being heard by everyone for once. With everyone announcing that they were going to fight, he suddenly felt the urge to do the same.
"I'll fight aru. No one messes with my family aru." China promised, tone promising pain for the Milliefore.
"Well, since China and Japan are, like, fighting, I shall too." Hong Kong deadpanned.
"Let's find some more of them to bash da?" Russia said, smiling a childish smile as always. The only nation left was Germany.
"I have to make sure mein bruder and Italy don't get into too much trouble, so I will be joining your ranks." Germany said.
"But…" Tsuna said, ready to protest that this was not part of the nations' battle and had nothing to do with them. He loathed having to bring them into what he saw was their own problem.
"No buts, Dame-Tsuna. You have to start training. We have several rooms in the base that everyone can use, both bedrooms and training rooms." Reborn said, directing the last part to the nations.
"That's all good and all, but we need to treat a few wounds." Wales said.
"And you will have to give us an explanation, brother." Ireland said, looking at England.
"Yes, I suppose I did say that…" England said.
"Aye you did lad." Scotland said.
"Of course. That's why we have an infirmary. We have all the medical items you need." Reborn said.
"Thank you." Canada thanked Reborn before everyone went to the infirmary to treat their injuries.
"So, will anyone tell the rest of us what happened while you were all underground?" Wales asked. They were all now in the infirmary, getting their wounds checked out. He looked at England expectantly.
"Well… At first it was the usual. They fed us enough and nothing really happened you know? The only actual problem was that the food wasn't that good and that we were stuck in a bloody dark and damp cell. Other than that, it was our usual bickering." England started, saying the front part quickly, hoping that his brothers would not notice the 'at first' that he had let slip.
"Right… And then?" Wales asked, not missing anything.
"…" was England's answer.
"Well… After they seemed to get enough of us by their standards, Byakuran came to see us." Gokudera helped replied.
"Wait. Just who is Byakuran?" Wales asked.
"He's the boss of the Milliefore Famiglia." Romano replied, voice devoid of any expression for the first time.
"…The Milliefore Family? What's that?" Ireland asked, taking a few moments to translate properly.
"They're a Mafia Family, like the Vongola." Romano replied again.
"The Mafia aru?! Then…" China exclaimed, trailing off as realisation hit him.
"Yes. We are part of the Mafia." Reborn said.
Silence fell as the Nations digested the fact that they were helping a group from the very people who caused so much problems in their individual countries. Deciding to ignore that fact, Scotland asked, "What happened then?"
"Well… They started attacking us and giving us less and less food, until they stopped giving us food all together. It was all alright even then, but they started to get worse, the beatings especially." Canada explained.
"Aye… Then what happened to England? Why does he seem worse off than the rest of you?" Scotland asked. That was a particular question that he really wanted to know the answer to and yet did not want to know.
"Well…" Canada started, trailing off, not really wanting to answer his 'uncle'.
"Angleterre took it upon himself as a 'gentleman' to make sure that nothing happened to his ex-colonies." France explained for Canada.
"Unfortunately, that meant that England-san got the worse out of all of us…" Japan said. Wales, Ireland and Scotland stared at England, who was getting his injuries treated.
"What?! Stop staring at me!" England said defensively.
"Brawd… Why would you do that…?" Wales asked.
"I couldn't just let them all be… I had to do something…" England said, looking away, obviously embarrassed.
"I see…" Scotland said to himself. Turning to Reborn, he said, "I'm guessing that ye are going to everyone to train."
"Yes." Reborn replied shortly, his eyes showing curiosity and interest in what Scotland was getting at.
"Aye, that's a good thing…" Scotland said.
Picking up on what Scotland was getting at, Ireland added, "We'll help train them too. Any thing to help get back at those eejits who hurt our little brother."
"What are you saying?" England asked, slightly worried about what his brothers were planning.
"Starting tomorrow, all of us nations will be training one of the Vongola who will be fighting." Scotland announced. All the nations nodded in agreement, they would start their training sessions the very next day.
Note: ...ok. Still shorter than what I wanted but, if I added the next one in as well, it wouldn't make much sense so... Well, now we have a few chapters of them training! This was not originally in my plans but then I noticed how many people liked my other crossfic with these two animes: Two weeks of Training, and my friends were suggesting to me to add a few training chapters in for fun so... The next chapter will start us off and I hope to be able to post in next week. And I'm sorry England! Until next week. Bye!
