A soft whine escaped from the brunette's lips as honey eyes fluttered open only to see darkness, the teen could easily tell that he was blindfolded and from the tension in his arms and legs, he was bound to something, most likely metal due to the cold chill that the surface passed into his body.
"Seems like I've finally managed to catch you..."
A voice trailed off, the brunette's attention perked up at the sound of heavy footsteps approaching him, he knew the man's voice.
"I let you capture me..."
The brunette replied, a wry smile gracing his lips despite the situation.
The brunette could hear that the man was circling around him slowly due to the constant clicking of the man's steps.
"Oh? Then you must be an idiot. You actually threw your weapon away!"
The brunette raised a brow, though it couldn't be seen. He realized that his captor hadn't noticed that he had accidentally snared Reborn.
He let out a small chuckle at the thought of the world's greatest hitman being caught by accident.
"I don't need my knife to get away from you"
The brunette didn't even flinch when the man's hand cupped his chin and yanked it to the side roughly.
"Oh really? Then why haven't you escaped?"
The brunette went silent, no longer wanting to speak to the man any longer.
"So I take it you already know what's going to happen right?"
The brunette felt fear trickle down his spine before he abruptly quenched it down to minimum levels.
"I've always wanted to see what makes you tick my little Tsuna"
The man stated, the brunette heard a soft click and then the sound of small pieces of metal clanking against each other. The teen shivered slightly as he felt his shirt being lifted up and cool metal being tapped gently against his exposed chest.
"Try not to scream too loudly my dear"
The hitman had arrived back at the Sawada residence to make sure that his idiotic student was okay, or at least alive.
If assassins had captured Tsuna, then they might go after Ie as well, the hitman didn't care about the idiot but it was his job to keep the boy safe.
"Oi Reborn, where's Dame-Tsuna?"
Ie called as he noticed the hitman had arrived without the other.
'I highly doubt that Baka-Ie is concerned about him'
"He was captured and his whereabouts are currently unknown"
The brunette froze for a few moments, the hitman thought that he spotted a faint flicker of fear within the boy's brown eyes.
'Why would Baka-Ie be scared?'
"Tch... Dame-Tsuna will come slinking back eventually, don't worry about the freak"
The hitman raised a brow at his idiotic student's faith of his brother returning.
"And pray tell me why you think so?"
Reborn asked with a dark glint as Leon shifted into a green gun.
"Dame-Tsuna gets captured sometimes by weird people who are obsessed with me and him"
'What?!... I wasn't aware that this happened often... I only knew a little about the first time'
"Do you ever see them?"
The brunette shrugged as he shook his head.
"The monster deals with them before I see them, there was only the first time which I barely remember"
The hitman nodded in acceptance glad for at least a little bit of information, not bothering to comment on the term 'monster' because he still had questions to ask and didn't want to set the teen off. It was much too troublesome to make the boy cooperate.
"Do you know why they are obsessed with you two?"
'Maybe it's because of Vongola...'
"Nope, Dame-Tsuna knows, though he won't tell anyone why"
The brunette wheezed in pain as a cool liquid pooled around his body, honey eyes flashed orange underneath the blindfold.
The brunette was no fool, he knew that he was laying in his own blood.
"So cute! I can't believe that you haven't screamed yet. Hehe you're just so interesting!"
The brunette felt numb, not caring about the familiar taste of blood in his mouth.
"You seem to have faith in your brother's abilities right now"
The hitman stated, disgust flashed within brown orbs as the teen scowled.
"Dame-Tsuna is useless"
'Baka-Ie is strange... He keeps contradicting his words...'
The brunette's tone was flat and emotionless.
"He's useless yet able to always deal with creepy stalkers?"
The hitman inquired, he was surprised when the teen nodded.
"Yeah he probably uses his body as payment or something, after all, we look the same so of course people would want to be with someone who looks like me because I'm very good looking"
Reborn seriously felt the urge to groan and face palm at his utterly stupid his idiotic student was being.
'As if someone who wanted that would attack in the way they did, and I seriously doubt that Tsuna would let people touch him like that'
"You're such an idiot..."
The hitman stated as he hopped out the window, he knew that Ie was a potential target but he doubted that the enemy would risk their location in order to drag back a second captive.
He was sick of talking, his inner flame was thrashing violently within him for a fight and for him to retrieve Tsuna.
"Wh-at?..."
A man stuttered as he choked on his own blood, a pair of glowing orange eyes were glaring at the man.
"..."
"I-I d-don't u-understand... H-how..."
The man wheezed through the blood flowing down his throat and into his lungs.
"I will not let anyone harm my brother"
The orange eyed boy stated in a monotone voice as he staggered over towards the injured man.
The man's eyes widened in horror as the boy approached him.
'Tsuna-sama... I believe in you! I'll find you!'
Hayato's emeralds were blazing with determination as he scouted the city, he was not going to give up on his newly found sky.
'So the baby-carnivore was captured... I'll bite them to death for harming my pack!'
