Chapter 22
~Sawada Tsunayoshi~
With a clang, the tonfas dropped to the ground. Along with them fell the one person that we had always thought was impossible to defeat…his pristine uniform splattered with droplets of blood. His not the moscas…
The Mosca stood, towering over Hibari, showing his stand as the stronger one… With a stretch of his hand, the Mosca's fingertips disappeared and fired several bullets towards Hibari.
"Finish him…" Xanxus smirked.
"No…" I whispered, "No! Don't do it!"
With a jolt, I jerked awake. Relief filled me as I realized that I was only in my bed, in my room, not in the battle… not watching…
"Haa… haa" I pant, "What a dream…" The longer I willed my heart to still itself, the more my cheek started to sting. "Owww" I whined, and a muffled laughter resounded to my right.
Turning my head to the right, I stared into bright amethyst irises. Sky was standing and staring down at me, one of her hands gripped me by my shoulder, the other hand hovered a few inches from my face.
"Oww…" I whined again, and rubbed my face.
"Sorry" Sky laughed, not sounding sorry at all, "You were thrashing around so I was just trying to wake you…"
"Eh?" I jumped from my bed and ran to the nearest mirror. There on my face was a big (yes, super big) red hand mark. I stood there, shocked, for who knows how long…
"Come on… its fine, and if you feel out of place then let me smack your other cheek and you'll be nice and symmetrical" Sky smiled.
"No thanks!" I shouted and crawled back into my bed. I should try and get another hour of sleep.
"Hey Tsuna…"
"Hn?"
"Do you feel weird?"
"Eh?" The bed creaked under her weight.
"Do you feel like something bad is going to happen?" She paused, "I do and I am not liking the feeling…"
"You don't think Hibari will win?" I sweat dropped, if Sky doesn't think that Hibari will win… maybe he won't.
"No. He'll win" Sky replied with absolute confidence, "But… you don't think something is going to happen?"
"Like what?"
"Never mind then, I'm probably just over thinking things…"
"You do do that a lot…" I chuckled, when she gave me a glare. When my laughter died down, my mind wandered to the battle that'll take place tonight, "Is Hibari really going to be alright?"
Sky gave me a weird look before smirking, "Better not let him hear that a herbivore is worried that he'll lose."
The color drained from my face, "You aren't"
"I might"
"You won't…"
"I could…"
"But I'll really die this time!"
"Nothing new… it happened everyday" She shrugged.
"Sky~!" I squealed
Sky left my room, still chuckling from my reaction.
"Where are you going? School is in the other direction…" Tsuna asked.
"Weren't you worried about Hibari? Let's go to Dino's hospital and ask him…" Sky said. Tsuna nodded in agreement and the two of them took off towards the mini hospital that Dino had set up. Tsuna was peering through the window when it slammed open… and right into his face.
"Tsuna!" Sky shouted, when the shock wore off, she laughed like there was no tomorrow.
"Itai!" Tsuna squealed.
"Boss"
"Ah… Chrome! How are you?" Sky asked.
"Ah… that is… what should I call you… Chrome – san… Dokuro – san?" Tsuna stuttered.
"Anything is okay", Chrome clutched her bag tighter towards her body.
"Where are you going?" Sky asked.
Chrome paused and hesitantly looked back, "They said Kena and Chikusa ran off somewhere."
"Eh… umm… thanks for coming to yesterday's battle…" Tsuna looked up and watched her run away.
"Ignored!" Sky giggled and walked inside the building.
~Tsutsumiya Sky~
"So… where is he at?" I asked… again.
"I'm not sure…" Tsuna replied.
"Well, Romario?"
"I know where he is!" Sky smiled and ran in the direction of the voice.
"Oi! Wait for me"
"Dino's talking business… he looks so busy…" Tsuna muttered.
Tsuna creaked the door open and immediately Dino shouted, "Who is it?"
"It's us… Sawada and Tsutsumiya" Tsuna replied.
"Oh…" Dino looked up and smiled like a fool, "It's Tsuna. You're up early!"
"Good Morning, well I couldn't sleep so I…er…"
"Want to know how Hibari will fare in the battle?" Dino grinned.
"Morning~!"
Dino tensed up and his smile now looks like its forced.
"Ah… Sky – san! G-good Morning… such a n-nice morning i-isnt it?"
"It would be better if I weren't punched in the face by Tsuna."
Dino's eyes widened, "You hit her!... and you're still alive?!"
"Eh? When did that happen?" Tsuna asked.
"In the morning… when you were thrashing…"
"Oh…"
"W-well, Tsuna. You're p-probably w-w-worried that if Kyouya loses then it's all over."
"Hn"
"As for these guys, they're either bored or worried as well…" Dino grinned and opened another door to reveal Gokudera, Yamamoto and Ryohei; all collapsed on a sofa. "They dropped by to ask the same thing…"
"Bet they all came in with excuses about checking their injuries" I scoffed.
"That they did. Now, they're all relieved and fell asleep…" Dino said.
"Then that means…" Tsuna trailed off.
"Hn… Kyouya is a perfect finish."
"I'm glad to hear that…" Tsuna smiled.
"You have training to get to…"
Dino and Tsuna both deadpanned and looked around frantically.
"You must perfect the dying will zero point breakthrough today" Reborn said, climbing in through the window.
"Reborn! Ninja?" Tsuna shouted.
"Expect the unexpected when dealing with a baby hitman" I muttered.
'Damn… he gave me a scare. Just can't kick that habit from the days when I was still his student…' Dino thought
"Wait! What did you say? Tonight's battle will decide it all. There's no reason for me to train anymore!" Tsuna shouted.
"Precisely because it's the final battle, what will you do if something happens?" Reborn replied.
"If something happens?" Tsuna muttered, unconsciously his gaze met mine.
If something happens…
So Reborn felt it too, that bad feeling in the air…
"Before we go… wake them up, Tsuna" Reborn ordered.
"Eh?"
Tsuna walked over to their bodies and repeatedly tried to wake them up… but his efforts were in vain.
I coughed, "Allow me…"
I stood behind Gokudera and bent over to whisper in his ear. In moments, Gokudera jerked awake, screaming at the top of his lungs. Raising an eyebrow, I moved on to Yamamoto, and whispered into his ear. It took me a little longer, but he woke up with a startled and panicked expression and brandished his Shigure Kintoki. Realizing that there was no danger, Yamamoto relaxed and laughed it off, calling it nerves. Smirking, I moved on to Ryohei. When he woke, Ryohei shouted, "SAWADA! I'LL KILL YOU TO THE EXTREME~!"
Tsuna took a few steps back when Ryohei looked like he was serious about his proclamation. Tugging on Ryohei's sleeve, I muttered that it was all a dream. Ryohei relaxed but he still looked like he was out to kill. Smirking, I felt the room with Tsuna following close behind me.
~Sawada Tsunayoshi~
"GYAHH~!"
"Sawada – dono! Are you alright?" Basil asked.
"Jeezum Tsuna… at this rate, you're going to incinerate yourself before you get around to protecting your famiglia…" Sky scoffed.
"Ah… that was dangerous" I panted.
"Your dame – ness is going to get you killed, Dame Tsuna" Reborn said, planting a kick right on my chin.
"Hold on… are we continuing? If we don't go now, we'll miss Hibari's battle!" I shouted.
"Leave Hibari's battle to Gokudera and Yamamoto, just concentrate on perfecting your technique" Reborn said.
"No way! Are you serious!" Tsuna squealed.
"I'm deadly serious" Reborn said… well, seriously.
"Reborn…"
"If it makes you feel better, I'll watch the battle…" Sky offered, she was also quite serious.
"Hn… yeah… thanks" I thanked her.
"No problem" Sky replied. She looked at Reborn and they shared a look before she nodded and jumped down from the mountain.
"Now… let's do that again" Reborn smirked, clicking his Leon gun.
"Oh no…" I gulped… this is going to be a long night.
Third Person (I suppose)
"Listen up people! No matter what happens, we have to win!" Gokudera shouted.
"What are you talking about? The one fighting is Hibari…" Yamamoto said and chuckled.
"But it's still better to be prepared for the worst"
"GAH! GHOST" a gleam flashed across Gokudera's eyes, "Come here so I can tear you apart, molecule by molecule!"
"What happened to the whole 'I come in peace' shebang?" Sky asked, dropping down from the nearest tree.
"Ah Sky – chan. What are you doing here?" Yamamoto asked.
"Oh great, death arrived" Gokudera snarled.
"Yeah, only if Death was forced to wear pink by Tsuna's mom" Sky growled, looking down at her obviously too bright shirt.
Gokudera coughed before continuing with his inspirational speech, "The boss is counting on us so he doesn't have to be here. Like hell, we're going to allow a defeat on our watch!"
"Ahaha… what a funny reason" Yamamoto chuckled
"If I remember correctly, you were the only one he who lost his battle, hn?" Sky said.
Gokudera deadpanned and dropped to the ground, just as Hibari came in through the school gates.
"Well, here's the main star of today" Yamamoto announced nonchalantly.
"Why have you all gathered here?" Hibari glared.
"Why you?!" Gokudera growled.
"Maa maa~" Yamamoto said.
"Here to support you to the EXTREME!" Ryohei shouted.
"And you, omnivore?"
"Heh?" Sky looked startled and glanced behind her to make sure that Hibari was actually talking to her. "When did you promote me to omnivore?"
"The baby acknowledged you"
"Oh… okay?"
Hibari continued to stare at Sky.
"Oh… right… I'm here to make sure nothing goes wrong?" Sky shrugged.
"You think I'll lose?"Hibari glared agitatedly.
"No… you'll win, something else will be lost tonight and I'm to make sure that it stays where it belongs" Sky said.
Behind Hibari landed something large and heavy, a feral glare settled in Hibari's eyes like a carnivore that had cornered its prey.
"This is the field for the cloud guardians' battle" the cervello said, "The cloud ground."
Barbed wire formed a circle in the middle of the sports field. Several Gatling guns were stationed all around the ring. The ground looked uneven like the dirt had been dug up and something was buried beneath it.
"The mission of the cloud guardian…" the cervello started, but this time… Sky was the one that finished her sentence…
"…to be the aloof, drifting cloud who protects the family from an individual standpoint, and whom nothing can ever bind… correct?"
"Un…"
The two ladies looked at each other nervously before proceeding to explain the field. There were countless pressure sensitive mines buried under the ground and when activated, an alarm would sound followed by an immediate explosion.
"Isn't that completely dangerous?!" Ryohei shouted.
"If you're scared, run away just like your boss did" Levi smirked.
"The boss didn't run away, you ass!" Gokudera snarled.
Yamamoto put and hand on Gokudera's shoulder and smiled, "It's just that Tsuna doesn't need to be here, since Hibari's our ace"
"And your ace is fish food…" Sky muttered.
"BWAHAHAHAHA~ I'm definitely looking forward to this" Xanxus laughed.
"That crazy bastard…" Gokudera growled.
"Hibari FIGHT! OH!"
"Idiots… how can they not feel embarrassed when the said person isn't even among them?" Sky muttered, face palming.
Then, we'll shall begin: The cloud battle: Gola Mosca vs. Hibari Kyouya…
xD Hibari's still the same cool carnivorous cutie! 3! This is it... and pls... review!
