Current Poll Standing: Yue and Yoichi are tied! XD However the poll still continues!
Disclaimer: I don't own KHR at all except my ocs.
Previously
"...!" Tsukiko and Mayuri stopped their conversation about the past. Immediately heading over to where they heard the explosion, "Rune/Suzuka!"
Two unfamiliar voices coughed in response.
Tsukiko's eyes widened in surprise, "Eh...?!"
"...Not again." A feminine tone muttered within the pink smoke.
"It must've been when you and I fought over the TYL bomb." This time a masculine voice sounded.
Once the smoke dispersed. Mayuri and Tsukiko found themselves staring at two familiar people. Only they're older.
"It's good to see you again, Nee-chan." The TYL version of Rune greeted only his time, Rune had a more nostalgic sense and not the usual sensation she'd get when Rune used his TYL body switch. This time he sported a green sweat shirt, jeans, and green sneakers.
"Tsu-nee..." The girl this time answered after Rune. She wore a white long-sleeved blouse and brown shorts, while her hair seemed longer. It had a white ribbon and bell adorned on her left.
"...Are you two..." Mayuri started, "The TYL versions of Rune and Suzuka?"
Now
Tsukiko couldn't believe her eyes. Rubbing her eyes, Tsukiko still felt immediate daze once she met TYL Rune and TYL Suzuka.
"R-Rune and S-Suzu-chan have..." The Eleventh Generation boss mumbled repetitively not expecting this situation to happen.
"Nee-chan." Rune waved a hand over his boss, "C'mon you've seen me many times in this form, but you're still not used to seeing the real TYL version of me?"
"Oka-san." Suzuka greeted Mayuri, "You haven't changed a bit! Although...how come you're not growing your hair again?"
Mayuri clenched her fist angrily hiding it through her small smile,"Well it's good to see that I haven't changed. However why do I get the feeling I let you spend too much time with Michael."
"O-Oka-san, your smile is kind of scary..."
The two people standing right in front of Mayuri and Tsukiko have been officially confirmed. The two are none other than the TYL versions of the two children.
"Then...you two know what happens in the future?!" Tsukiko exclaimed pointing an accusing finger at the both of them. Rune, turn, lowered Tsukiko's arm stating, "It's rude to point at someone older than you, Nee-chan. Although...it's kind of awkward saying that to you."
"...Rune is nine years old now." Tsukiko added ten and muttered in shock while paling, "You're five years older than me."
Rune scratched the back of his head while making a sheepish laugh, "I guess I am."
"In any case, we can't answer your question about the future to you. Nee-chan." Rune pointed out, "However be careful when it comes to the subject of your guardians."
Tsukiko's face scrunched wondering what Rune meant, "What?"
"What he means, Tsu-nee, is that you need to rely on us more than how we seem to be." Suzuka interjected, "We may seem unreliable now. However look at me and Rune. We're capable of protecting ourselves as well as our families and friends. Don't take the burden on your own. You always did that. Never doubt us."
"...I." Tsukiko's gaze stared at the ground. She didn't want anyone to get hurt. Tsukiko thought that if she were the one protecting everyone then, she'd...
"I just don't want anyone. Anyone to get hurt." Clenching her hands into a fist Tsukiko raised her head, "I want to protect those who're precious to me!"
Suzuka places hand against Tsukiko's shoulder, "Then...make sure not to lose sight of it."
Nodding her head, Tsukiko watched as Suzuka and Rune waved goodbye as a Poof! of pink smoke appeared. Revealing Suzuka holding a chocolate bar, while Rune seemed a little mad.
"That...Nahoya...!" Steam shooting out of ears by the minute.
"Oka-san! Look! Hiro-nii gave me chocolate!" Tsukiko's eyes widened upon hearing Suzuka's proclaim.
"The TYL Aoyama-san...!"
If Aoyama-san was there at the time with Rune and Suzuka...then that means Aoyama-san...joined my famiglia.
"Um, Suzu-chan. Can I ask you something?" Tsukiko goes down to Suzuka's height, "Did you see someone with mismatched colored eyes there? Red and yellow colored eyes?"
Suzuka shook her head, "No."
"Oh...I see. Thank you for telling me though."
...Kudou-senpai...he...
"In any case, Tsukiko." Turning over to Mayuri who shut off her cellphone, "I think Reborn is going to tell you something soon."
Tsukiko had no clue on what Reborn was going to say next.
Back at the Sawada Household
"You've gotta be kidding me..." Tsukiko gripped the edges of the kitchen table. Her eyes wide in shock of what Reborn had just said to her.
"A...fight between father's guardians and my guardians?!" Tsukiko screeched, "But I haven't even...!"
"Don't worry, Dame-Tsuki." Reborn responded, "They're only here to test one thing, and one thing only."
"Do you know the reason about why your father gave you that ring?" Reborn asked the girl.
"To protect myself?" Tsukiko stopped holding the orange ring band in her right hand, "Wait. Does this ring have anything to do with what you just said now?"
"...Do I have to spell it out for you?" Reborn sighed, "This fight. Is to decide whether your guardians are worthy in wielding the eleventh generation Vongola rings."
...Worthy...
"Papa..." Gripping the ring in her hand, Reborn held an amused expression as he reviewed over what'll be happening soon.
Soon.
Dame-Tsuna and his guardians will be here.
Then a test shall be placed for those six successors.
It's only a matter of time, until...
Reborn pondered.
No. I doubt it.
They are now...
Vongola Base
"...Jyuudaime. We're." Gokudera spoke to his boss opening the door for Tsuna.
"Yeah." Tsuna smiled warmly as he stepped out of the car, "We're finally back. In Namimori."
"Haha. It's been awhile since we've been here!" Yamamoto laughed, "Wonder how Hiro and Tou-san are doing?"
"Boss. You've returned." Chrome's one eye widened in surprise upon seeing the trio's arrival, "Is it time?"
Tsuna nodded, "Can you tell Lambo? I think he's the only one besides you that hasn't learned of our arrival."
"Yes, boss!" Chrome excused herself as she quickly head down the base.
"Now...how should we greet Tsukiko and the others?" Tsuna pondered as he along with Gokudera and Yamamoto entered their base.
Gokudera knew exactly what he's going to do, "I'm going to knock some sense into that stupid nephew of mines."
"Ahaha! You must be really close to your nephew huh, Gokudera?" Yamamoto ended up receiving a glare.
"Baseball freak...who the hell said we're close?"
"Ma ma." Yamamoto reasoned, "You see, at least you're able to get along with Kaito."
The rain guardian's eyes seemed saddened, "Where as I and Hiro."
"Yamamoto." Tsuna's encouraged placing a hand over Yamamoto's shoulder, "There will be time."
The usual smile of the rain guardian shown, "You're right, Tsuna."
"Lambo." Chrome called out to the young adult sitting half a sleep on a chair, "Boss and the others have returned."
"Hm..." Lambo lazily mumbled out in his sleep, "They're back?"
"Yes."
Lambo stretched his arms, "Does that mean I have to go visit him?"
"Yes, Lambo." Chrome nodded, "The same goes for me as well. I haven't seen Kuroi in a while."
Lambo raised a brow to the mist guardian, "But aren't you his aunt? Aren't you supposed to be his legal guardian here while his parents..."
Chrome shook her head,"Unfortunately as much as I wanted to. Kuroi, doesn't hate me. However the person he truly hates is...Mukuro-sama."
"Ah. I see." Lambo stated, "Well, I better go greet Tsuna-nii. Chrome, are those two here too?"
"The cloud and sun men?" Chrome pondered for a bit, "They're currently... starting their tests for them."
Somewhere...
Two figures stared down at each other.
One in a Namimori Middle School Uniform, glared at the adult standing before him. The adult held an aloof expression wearing a suit.
"Is this as far as your strength goes?" The adult noted, "You're still weak. How long will you continue to stay as this?"
"..." The young man leered, "Who are you calling weak?"
"You. Hibari Yue." The light of the moon gleamed revealing an older Hibari Kyoya, tonfas in hand.
Yue growled as purple flames englufed his tonfas, "You have no right."
At that moment, Yue lunged after his father.
In another area, Ryuuga watched the scene taking place further from where he stood.
"Yue." Ryuuga gritted back. He knew he wasn't allowed to help Yue, however...if Ryuuga wanted to get over there.
"I'M GOING TO DEFEAT YOU, DAD!" Ryuuga announced to his father.
The man chuckled raising his fists, "I'VE BEEN WAITING A LONG TIME, SON!"
