Skull sighed in relief.
It seemed their ploy had worked.
Now he just had to hope like hell that he wouldn't be forced to reveal that he wasn't human.
"You know, you could fight in this thing, but there's a small problem with that," A familiar, amused voice stated from thin air "You don't have a Boss watch or an Arcobaleno watch for that matter."
Azami walked out from where she'd been waiting, Uroko-jū following closely behind her.
She held up her wrist, showing the Boss watch, Skull appeared on the mans shoulder, the illusion he'd placed on the Arcobaleno watch disappearing.
"Can we tear them apart now?" Uroko-jū asked, irritated that it had taken so long for them to get to this point.
"I highly doubt you'll actually be able to kill them, but go ahead." She muttered.
He laughed before going at the Vindice like a hawk amongst the pigeons, if said hawk was a dragon in disguise and the pigeons weren't exactly pigeons but the mafia police.
Eh, same thing.
Azami, on the other hand, was alternately surrounding the enemies head with a fast flowing ball of air, cutting off their air supply in the process and propelling them into walls.
Eventually, they warped away in a hurry.
"Well, that was fun." She commented idly, looking at the bodies on the ground.
"You killed more then me." Uroko-jū complained, looking rather put out.
"So I did, snake skin features, so I did." She replied, before grabbing both of the males and disappearing, along with the unconscious bodies of the Simon.
Basil stared, shocked and mildly scared at what he had just witnessed.
'There might be a problem'.
Azami stared at her brother.
"Let me get this straight," She began, pointing at him "You want to form an alliance with us."
"Yes." He answered, looking nervous just from being in close proximity to her and Uroko-jū.
"Uh huh," She paused before shrugging "Fine."
"What!?" Skull and Uroko-jū collectively shouted, looking at her like she was crazy.
She shrugged again "Its not like we have anything better to do."
"Shouldn't I be making the decisions around here?" Skull questioned.
"Fine, should we ally ourselves with Team Reborn?"
"A part of me wants to say no, but the half that revels in chaos in screaming yes."
"Fine then, we ally ourselves with Tuna."
"Don't I get a say in this?" Uroko-jū complained, annoyed at being ignored.
"No." The pair stated flatly.
Uroko-jū looked up at his old friend as she sat on a tree branch, swinging her legs back and forth.
"Sooo, Skull has been telling me something interesting." He began, undeterred by the glare that was being aimed at him.
"If this is about what I think its about, I will drown you." She threatened, frowning in irritation.
He ignored that warning "He told me that there is a certain somebody you're in looove with."
"Dear god, what are you? A gossiping teenage girl?" She exclaimed in a mixture of exasperation and disgust before pausing "And I am not in love with him!"
"Suuuure, you're not." He patronisingly replied.
"What is it with you people and my love life?" She questioned.
"Because aside from one night stands you have never shown any interest in the opposite sex," At her blank look, he realised something "Unless you're a lesbian then the poor guys screwed."
"Firstly, I'm bi, and secondly, I don't love him and he isn't gonna be falling for me anytime soon."
"Keep telling yourself that."
He wasn't able to continue because at that point she was just done with this interrogation about her feelings towards a boy she had only met a few times, so she conjured up a wave of water and washed him away.
Azami sighed.
She really did not see the point in holding a meeting between fighting forces.
"Ah. Look who it is-" Uroko-jū began.
"Finish that sentence and I will rip out your tongue and force you to eat it." She threatened him blithely.
"Shutting up now."
Skull looked over at his friend.
"You're worried." He noted, taking in her twitching hand.
"Am I? I don't know about that, I feel annoyed." She responded, keeping her eyes on the night sky.
"You have an idea about how this will end then."
"Yeah."
"Are you going to tell me?"
"Should I?"
"Probably not."
"Heh, Tsuna and Reborn will win and the Arcobaleno curse will be broken."
"Did you do your whole looking into the future thing to get that answer?"
"No," She smiled at him, a small bitter smile "Call it a feeling."
"You and your 'feelings'." Uroko-jū commented fondly as he joined the pair.
"Hm, there's something I wish to ask you."
"What?"
"Did any of your children marry humans?"
"Aka did, right before she cut me out of her life, something about wanting to forget the past," He smiled bitterly before continuing "She had a son if I remember correctly, why?"
"Because I think Xanxus is your descendant." She stated flatly.
"Which ones Xanxus?"
"The one with the red eyes and feathers."
"Oh, Do you have any proof?"
"Aside from him looking like a younger, angrier version of you? His scent is vaguely like yours, diluted enough that if anyone who didn't know what to look for smelled it, they wouldn't draw a connection."
"You know how I said not to reveal the fact you were a dragon?" Azami stated flatly, looking down from where she was floating.
"Yes..." Uroko-jū answered warily.
"Do it."
He stared at her "There is a chance we could regret this."
"So? We've done many things we could regret but don't over the years."
"Fine." He sighed.
She watched as his skin grew black and tough, his body started to grow bigger, shifting into a vaguely reptilian form.
"And that's not even his full size." Skull commented from where he sat below them.
Azami laughed.
Why are people so invested in Azami's love life?
Inquiring minds want to know.
That aside, wow.
We're almost at the end.
Thoughts?
See ya
