Earthbound Family
(Second Arc)
Hmm, how disappointing. Not to many reviews for the last chapter. I thought I surprised you all with that last one. Oh well, you win some, you lose some. Any who, thanks to the people that did review. Yes I know Enma OC but I had every intention on doing so. Well I hope you guys enjoy this chapter, especially the one who's constantly threatening me to send her evil bunny from hell if I don't...or was it a cat? Meh, enjoy!
( Earthbound Beach fun)
" Dammit! Where are they! They're late!" a shout could be heard from the entrance of Nanimori school.
A sigh soon followed the yelling. " Calm down Tetsua. They've only been late for five minutes. You got to have a little patient and wait."
" Kufufufufu." the well known chuckle made the Vongola group look at their illusionist comrade. " What are you babbling about?" Mukuro smirked before pointing to the twins right. " He's been there for five minutes already."
Everyone blinked before turning to look to their right and nearly jump out of their skin. Tsukuyomi was sitting on the side walk with Zeo drinking hot chocolate on a Japanese tea table, both sitting with cross legs and enjoying their drink. " Nice day isn't deshi?"
" Very Shishou." the blue hair boy replied before drinking his treat.
" WHAT ARE YOU TWO DOING THERE DRINKING CHOCOLATE MILK!" Tetsua shouted popping a vein.
The raven boy grinned at the brunet. " Well, I'm waiting for you guys to get ready. Besides, Mukuro and Hibari already knew I was here the entire time." he pointed to the two who were also drinking hot chocolate.
" WHEN DID YOU TWO GET THOSE!" the brunet shouted again.
Hibari who had his eyes closed, opened them calmly and stared at the marked one of darkness. " Although this drink is enjoyable, you have made us wait this long. The punishment will be..." and murderous aura surrounded him. " Being bitten to death." he took out his tonfas and with a quick move of his wrists, spikes came out of them.
Everyone flinched, but the raven remained calm. " True, true, but let's not get hasty Hibari-san. Besides, you made a promise to Misty that you wouldn't bite anyone of her family to death." he grinned. " Isn't that right?"
At the mention of the models name, the prefect quickly put away his tonfas while his face remained stoic. The Vongolas where left very surprised, the bomber of the family was the one to voice it out loud. " H-Hibari has never put away his tonfas for nothing, it's just not possible!"
" Hehehe. That's the power of love my friend." the blue hair illusionist grinned mimicking his master's grin.
" Bah! That's a bunch of lies and misguided ideas is all." the storm guardian replied back with a snark, but shudder away when he felt an overwhelming aura.
" YOU WOULD DO WELL TO NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF LOVE YOU LITTLE ROACH!" Tsukuyomi's figure suddenly seemed larger as his eyes glowed with extremeness making the bomber faint. But then the raven return to his normal, joyful self. " Besides what's more beautiful than two carnivores falling in love? Hunting together, pouncing on their prey while bitting them to a slow and painful death. Dreaming of raising future carnivores with the same if not more passion to bite people to death than them. What could be better than that?"
Everyone had the same expression. You know, the one you get when you imagine something you really didn't want to see? But more shocking than that was what the prefect spoke next. " That was beautiful." a lone tear fell from his eyes as his face and voice remained stoic.
" I know." he grinned while he got up from his position. " Now come on. We are taking you on a deserted island I found and took as my own to celebrate your achievement." he began to walk ahead with the blue hair boy while being followed by a traumatize group.
After a short trip, they ended up sailing inside a very fancy looking boat and pretty soon they were all sailing through the sea. The Vongola where either happily with themselves or with either the Earthbound boss, Zeo, Neo, or Misty. That, of course, raised a question between the twins before moving toward the raven who was steering the ship inside the ship in a very technological room with the green arcobaleno on his shoulder and Ms. Granger eying a holographic map carefully.
" Hey Tsukuyomi-kun!" Tetsua spoke loudly gaining the attention of the people inside the hi-tech room. " Where is my brother?"
" Yeah, and for that matter where is the rest of the guys?" Tsurugi added politely since his brother was doing a lousy job at it.
The raven grinned at them. " Oh, them. I'll take you to see them." he suddenly turned toward his secretary. " Gingy, can you take over for a little while?"
The secretary smirked mysteriously at them. " Of course, leave everything to me."
" Thanks!" the black hair boy said cheerfully. " Alright guys, follow me." he began to walk away with Verde on his shoulder smirking with glee. They walk a little through some corridors and walk down some stairs before coming face to face with a door label ' Engine Room.'
" Why are we here?" the brunet sky guardian asked confused.
The blond twin thought for a second before speaking. " Are they helping fixing the engine or something?"
" Nope." Tsukuyomi grinned before opening the door and revealing the inside of the room.
Both twins jaws dropped to the ground. Inside the engine room...there was no engine. Instead they saw their brother and the rest of the marked ones sitting on what it looks like bicycles without their wheels pedaling hard and sweating like there was no tomorrow. Their shirts missing at some points.
Tsuna turned to look at his boyfriend and glared. " Tsu-kun, you bastard! Why do we have to be the engine!" he shouted.
" Oni-san! When I get my hands on you I'll...I'll..." the teal hair boy, Shin, glared daggers at him.
" WAAAAH! Why do I have to pedal! I'm getting sweaty and slippery!" Sky whined.
" Not that I want to sound rude but...WHY ISN'T ZEO HERE SUFFERING AS WELL!" Ikaru shouted indignantly.
The illusionist laughed. " Well, Zeo actually has been training none stop since we became a family. You guys on the other hand have slacked off and that's not a good thing. Besides, Verde came up with this idea so we could save a lot more money. Consider this training."
" TRAINING!" came the chorus of shouts.
The twins quickly shook their heads, snapping out of their trance. " W-When did this happen?" Tsurugi asked confused.
Tsukuyomi turned to look at them with a grin. " Well remember when we arrived? You guys saw them all waiting outside the boat, right? Well after you guys walked in..."
( Flash Back)
After the twins boarded the ship the marked one of the mist, darkness, turned to them with a huge grin. " Hey guys, I'm going to need your help with something. Will you lend me a hand?"
" Of course Tsu-kun!" Tsuna replied sweetly at his lover.
" I'm in." Shin added.
" You bet!" Sky chirped happily.
" Ok." lastly said Ikaru.
" Aww, thanks you guys! You're the best." everyone smiled at him...that is until they saw a glint in his eyes before they were suddenly surrounded by black flames disappearing from the spot. The next thing they knew thew where sitting on some bicycles with no wheels but instead connected to the ground. Verde was there on top of his alligator with a whip on his hands.
" What the f..." they all started to say but they were cut off when said whip came dangerously close to them.
" Now, now. There is no need for such vulgar words. If I recall correctly, you all volunteer to be our guinea pigs. Now pedal so you can move this boat and arrive at our destination." the green arcobaleno smirked while his glasses glowed ominously.
" What! Why do we have to move the boat! Where's the engine !" Shin shouted.
The glasses on the arcobaleno never stop glowing ominously as his smirk deepen as he, assuming, stared at them. " I'm looking at them. NOW PEDAL SLAVES!"
( End of Flash Back)
"...and that's how they ended up here. It was all because they were afraid of a chipmunk, funny isn't it?"
The twins stared incredulously at him. " So you're saying they were running away from a psycho rabid chipmunk and end up being in the room, moving the boat?" they ask in unison.
" Yep!" he grinned happily. " That's the honest truth."
" THAT'S BULLSHIT!" the ones pedaling shouted making the raven laugh.
After a few minutes of non-stop pedaling, the boat arrived at its destination. An island that seem to be deserted for the vegetation was plentiful, the water were crystal clear, and the air smell a lot more cleaner. Of course the raven had secretly taken them to a Lythian abandon island, thou he could tell his friends already knew.
" Wow, this place is beautiful, to the extreme!" the sun guardian punched the air excitedly. Everyone else nodded.
Tsukuyomi, who was now wearing a captain's hat, nodded. " Yep, I found this island in my early years before becoming boss. Now, everyone change into your swim suits." he then began to walk to the engine room. " I'm gonna tell the rest that we've arrived.
Finally, the entire group were changed and already splashing or swimming inside the water, of course some were chasing the raven across the sandy chores. Hibari and Misty were happily resting on the sand while telling each other new strategies to punish the herbivores. Mukuro...he was up on a tree spying on potential prey. Neo...pretty much the same thing but on her surfboard. Verde and Reborn, who suddenly appeared on the island, were taunting each other. Ms. Granger was getting a tan and Bubu the polar bear...the same thing, he was even wearing sun glasses. Pretty much everyone was having a great time, but the twins remained on the chores.
Tsuna, who had decided to take a break on chasing his lover to the ends to the world, was swimming and relaxing when he notice his brothers not coming to the water. " Hey guys! Come on in! The water's great!" he smiled at them, however he frowned when he notice them shaking their head no. He swam toward the chore and walk toward them, his orange swim trunks sticking to his skin from the amount of water. He sat next to them and smiled. " So, what's up guys? Why don't you want to get inside the water and have fun? Gokudera has been shouting bloody murder for you to join him and Yamamoto for ten minutes straight." he pointed to the storm guardian who was flailing his arms frantically trying to get the twins to get inside the water.
" Um..." Tetsua began.
" We..." followed Tsurugi.
There was a moment of silence before they both sighed at the same time. " We can't swim."
Tsuna blinked making the twins blushed with embarrassment. He open his mouth to speak reassuring words but was cut off.
" Tenths...you can't swim!" Gokudera, who had magically appeared behind them, spoke in astonishment.
" Well that's weird." Shin added, who also magically appeared behind them.
" Indeed. How did you manage not learning to swim this whole time?" Tsukuyomi spoke last, nobody really cared he suddenly appeared because he always does that making the raven sulk on the inside.
" It's not a big deal!" the brunet Vongola shouted, his face heating up in embarrassment.
" Yeah! When we're in the water we always use our X-gloves to move in it!" the blond one added, equally embarrassed.
The raven teen shook his head. " Well that won't do. In a mission were it requires stealth you two would stick up like two thumps." he then grinned. " How about I teach you guys how to swim."
" Hold on! If anyone should teach the tenths to swim it should be his guardians or his brother!" Gokudera shouted before he snorted. " Besides I already have a full proof plan to teach them in a fast manner."
The raven frowned lightly and open his mouth to speak only to be cut off by his boyfriend. " I'm going to go with Gokudera on this one." Tsuna said making his boyfriend's jaws hit the ground. Tsuna simply shrugged. " Besides, if you teach them they'll be dead within ten minutes." he added making the twins gulped and Shin nodded in agreement.
Tsukuyomi almost popped a vein but his smiled remained. " Oh really?" he then grabbed Tetsua and pulled him to his side. " Well then, I say we make it a competition out of it! You, Gokudera, and Shin will teach Tsurugi your way." he then grabbed Yamamoto and Ryohei, who came to check on the ruckus, to his side. " While me, Yamamoto, and the loud boxing guys who never shuts up teach Tetsua. First team to teach their twin how to swim the better by midday wins! The winning team gets the honor and glory to brag about it in the face of the losers. Deal?" he said while sticking his hand out.
Tsuna smirked at him and took his and and shook it. " Deal!" he then turned to his team. " Come on guys let's win this and brag about it later."
" YEAH!" they all shouted while taken a confused Tsurugi and began showing him some simple strokes.
Tsukuyomi stared at them for a moment before he chuckled. " Heh, amateurs."
" Um...aren't we going to get to the water too?" the brunet Vongola asked.
" Huh? Oh no. I have a much better place to teach you." he grinned alongside Yamamoto, and Ryohei.
Seconds later, they were all standing at the top of a cliff facing the sea. " YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS!" Tetsua roared, feeling scared.
" What? All you have to do is jump off this cliff and your fears of not knowing how to swim will be gone. It's easy." Yamamoto said cheerfully. He was the one who suggested it to the raven.
" There could be rocks down there! Have you even consider that!" the brunet protested.
" Let's find out." the sun flame boxer ran toward the edge and jumped. " TO THE EXTREEEME!" he shouted as he dived into the waters bellow before making a splash and disappearing from view.
" RYOHEI!" the brunet shouted in worry.
The boxer then emerge unharmed and swam rapidly to the chores before running back to the top of the cliff like an exercise crazed maniac. " Nope, no rocks down there. It's completely safe to dive in."
Yamamoto laughed. " Hahaha, there you go, no rocks. Now jump." he said happily.
Tetsua gulped before looking down. He was always look up for his bravery and unyielding personality, but when it came to water he would always chicken out. He had a fear of drowning and right now that fear was making his leg shake uncontrollably until he drop to the ground on all four. This was one feet he couldn't do.
" Now, now. Don't pressure the kid like that. No wonder he hesitates to jump in if you keep pressuring him like that." Tsukuyomi said while he stared at the trio.
" Hm, I guess you are right." Yamamoto said. " So what would you do?"
" Heh. Well first you got to show him that we got his back and place your hands on his shoulder like this." he said while placing his right hand on Tetsua's shoulder making him gasp and look at him. " This should give him somewhat an amount of confidence and send a message that he's not alone."
The sun guardian nodded in agreement while the tall asian teen smiled. " Oh, I see. Then what?"
The raven smiled. A glint appear on his eyes while his smile turned to a smirk sending warnings inside the brunet. Without giving them much of a chance to react he grabbed the brunet by his back. " Grab him quickly..."
" Hey what the...!"
" ...and do this!" he did a back flip and jump head first, holding Tetsua in an iron grip. They were quickly falling down, getting closer to the water. " THE BEST WAY TO LEARN HOW TO SWIM IS TO JUMP IN HEAD FIRST! MUAHAHAHAHAHA!" the raven began to laugh maniacally, his eyes glowed red, while Tetsua shouted bloody murder.
Yamamoto sweat dropped. " Um...that was...eh..."
" Extreme?" the sun guardian said as he saw the two falling down the cliff while the raven boy still laugh like a mad man.
" Yeah."
Seconds later the two crash landed into the sea and now were submerge within salty sea water. Tetsua began to struggle, thrashing and turning, trying desperately to get out. That is until he felt himself being hold straight up bellow the water. He open his eyes, which he close due to fright, and saw a pair of arms holding his waist reassuringly. Looking behind him he saw the raven smiling kindly at him before he slowly let go of his waist. Tetsua was going to trash again but the raven motion him to stay still. To the brunet surprise he wasn't sinking, he was floating bellow the sea.
Feeling excited he began to move his feet slowly. His excitement grew when he notice he was moving. Then he turned his head looking at the raven showing his excitement, which received an applause from the other. Tsukuyomi then motion him to mimic his movement since he added his arms to move even faster. Tetsua did so and he too began to swim faster bellow the water, a grin present on his face. It wasn't until the need to breath was beginning to itch that the brunet surface. Seconds later the boy surfaced, followed by Tetsua swimming around like an excited kid.
" I can swim! I can swim!" he shouted taking a big breath as he did so, showing his two friends his new ability.
The illusionist's head popped out of the water and grinned. " Now that wasn't so hard, was it?"
He received a splash as an answer making him laugh. When midday came, both twins were having a swimming contest, in which Tetsua was swimming in circles around his twin. " Come on Tsurugi! Need help?" he swam toward his blond brother who could swim as well, only a bit slower and more tense.
" Thanks!" Tsurugi replied cheerfully.
The two arrived at the chore at the same time, but it was clear who won the race. Tsuna and his team were left speechless. " I don't get it! How did you manage to teach him to swim that fast!" Gokudera exclaimed feeling the awful stench defeated.
" Oh, we threw him down a cliff." the raven replied happily, making the other's eyes nearly pop out of their head.
The rest of the day was spent playing beach games and little friendly competitions. The twins and their guardians were sitting along side the marked ones as they chatter peacefully. That is until...
" Hey Tsuna!" Tetsua called his brother.
" Yeah?"
" I know you're a pretty strong guy and so is the rest of your family...but, which one of you guys is the strongest?"
Tsurugi who was drinking a bottle water nearly spit it out. The Vongolas could feel a tension suddenly rising from the group of marked ones. The blond knew his brother has asked a question that should have never seen the light of day.
Tsuna laughed nervously. " No, no Tetsua. You see we are all strong in our own way and we have all agree to never fight among each other for obvious reason. That way there would be no trouble with each other."
Tsurugi sighed in relief knowing his brother had evaded a problem skillfully. Of course... " Yeah, but if there was a fight I would definitely would've won!" Sky replied with a grin.
That...set the bomb off.
" Sky-chan, some times your jokes are so funny I forget how to laugh." Shin grinned with difficulty, one could see a vein on his head. " Everyone know I would cream you all with my intellect."
" Blasphemy! Everyone knows the power of Yaoi has no equal. You are all just pawns of it's greatness!" Neo boasted.
Ikaru laughed at that. " Very funny Neo-chan. Considering the amount of failures the 'power of yaoi' has brought upon you. The one thing it's good is bringing pandemonium! The Gentle Fist is the strongest!"
" Hmp. You should all know your place. It takes skills and grace to wipe your opponent, and I have them both. You guys would've been blown away by my strength." Misty smirked.
Tsuna sweat dropped feeling a little uncomfortable. " Now, now guys. We're all strong in our own way. We shouldn't fight over this silly thing."
" Yeah right! Everyone here knows your are the wimp of the group Tsuna!" Neo mocked.
Tsuna immediately enter in his hyper dying will mode while a look of annoyance was evident in his face. " Now that was rude. Maybe I should kick your asses for speaking such lies!"
The Vongolas were shaking, feeling the hostile atmosphere, Hibari was at a distance knowing things would get ugly. They all could could feel their enormous power and a dark aura around them, eyes glowing with hunger for battle. It was their worst fears come to life, it was doomsday for the Earth.
The twins began to take steps back, getting ready to run, before they bump into someone. Slowly and fearfully they turned to see it was the raven smiling at his friend. " Haha. My, my. Now this is certainly interesting." The Vongolas looked at the raven and immediately step back. The image of the boy was slightly bigger with eyes glowing red while his black wings were sprouted. Black flames and destruction was his back ground, it even look like his breath was visible, and the amount of power coming from him was tremendous. " CAN I PLAY AS WELL!" he said with such force that it almost sounded like an echo and made the earth tremble.
Gokudera fainted.
" I say we settle with with a board game!" Shin changed the topic, dropping his impulse to fight immediately.
" A race would be better!" Tsuna added.
" A surf off I say!" Neo said sweetly.
" Let's meditate on this!" Ikaru spoke.
" Throwing darts! Lets throw darts!" Sky laughed nervously.
" No, let us hunt delinquents. The one who catches most win." Misty finished.
The raven suddenly returned to his joyful self in mere seconds. " That's what I thought." he smiled. " Now gather up everyone! The sun is starting to set and we got to take these guys home before the Vongola ninth starts to worry." he then smirked eyes glowing. " That means we need our 'engines' to return to their post."
Tsuna and the rest of the boys wanted to protest but knew better than to go against the raven after they all loosed their heads like that. So instead the groan and went to their place. Miles way, inside the boat, on a secluded area, a meeting was taking place in a dark atmosphere. Mukuro was resting on one of the many empty tables before he sense the presence of another.
" Did you get what I ask for?" a female voice spoke.
" Kufufufu. But of course." the Vongola illusionist pull out some pictures and handed them to the girl.
" Kyaaaaaaaah! These are sweet and so clear!" shouted, eying the pictures of the twins taking a bath together...thou others might think otherwise.
The blue hair illusionist smirked. " Of course. Now, did you get what I ask for, Neo-chan?" his smirk turned into a grin when the Neo pulled out a set of picture of Tsuna and Tsukuyomi, handing them to him.
Both eyed the pictures and laughed pervertedly before coughing to try to hide their nature and turn serious.
" This meeting never happened." Neo spoke.
" Agreed." Mukuro nodded.
Then, like a spy movie, they both disappeared into the shadows with their prize.
Hoho, another random day with the gang! Hope you all enjoyed it!
