The brunette clicked his tongue in annoyance as he sidestepped a man wearing a white half mask, cloaked in an equally white plain cloak.
He despised having to deal with the typical 'grunts', for there were usually plenty of them, and despite being quite harmless individually, they got in the way more often than not.
He could hear various pain filled screams emitting from the demonic perfect's location. He couldn't help the soft resigned sigh that escaped from his lips at his friend's antics as he parried the grunt's newly drawn knife with his own before tilting it to direct the man to his side.
He quickly stabbed the grunt in the stomach before twisting it as the man stumbled, put off balance.
His eyes flashed a brilliant shade of orange as he caught the slumping body and held it up as a meat shield to block five incoming spikes from impaling him.
He looked over towards Kyoya to see the demonic skylark take out the owners of the spikes, having already disposed of the others.
"I will bite you to death for flocking around Namimori!"
The skylark hissed.
The brilliant flames exuding from the tonfas were a captivating sight to the orange eyes teen. He wondered if his own flames would be just as elegant once he got full control over them.
The skylark flicked the blood off of his tonfas, creating a wide ark of splattered blood on the ground, steel glanced towards the brunette who had graciously allowed him to take on the majority of the grunts.
'The carnivore should always defeat more than the baby carnivore...'
"There's still more grunts around..."
The brunette muttered softly, his orange gaze glancing around. The skylark nodded in agreement, having already noticed that there were more around than they could see.
"Hn, your luring from before doesn't seem to have been very effective in bringing out the rest of the herbivores..."
The skylark replied as he stalked back over towards the brunette, knowing that the teen was the main target.
"They seem to have gotten smarter..."
Tsuna frowned before orange widened as he suddenly jerked to the left, narrowly avoiding a gleaming dagger from impaling him in the head.
He didn't so much as wince from the fresh cut on his cheek, instead he casually wiped away the blood.
'The baby carnivore's reflexes were slow...'
Both teens widened their stances into a defensive posture as both steel and orange gazes flickered around them.
Tsuna stiffened slightly before leaping up the building next to them while the skylark leapt up the building opposite of it.
However, the brunette paused in consideration when he reached his destination when he was met with the sight of about twenty of the white clad grunts.
"Tch... So many..."
Tsuna muttered as he twirled his dagger and waited for them to attack, it seemed as if they were all reluctant to do so when they hadn't attacked right away.
He shrugged his shoulders after waiting a few seconds before launching himself towards the grunts, who in retaliation began to throw the wired spikes at him.
'Lazy-Tsuna seems to be taking a while to come back...'
The hitman was highly regretting allowing the honey eyed teen off on his own, cursing himself for allowing the teen's soothing aura to cloud his judgement.
'I don't even know where he is right now, and I doubt that I'd be able to find him if he doesn't want to be found...'
The hitman inwardly grimaced as he remembered how he hadn't been able to find the teen the last time he had gotten captured.
'Though I wasn't much help the last time either... I need to study up on their weapons...'
His concern wasn't being helped by the flaring of his inner flame, it seemed to be rebelling with his decision to allow the teen to head off on his own.
'That idiot better return soon...'
'Damn herbivores... Polluting Namimori with their despicable presence...'
Kyoya gracefully flipped over one of the grunts with ease before pressing a button on his tonfas to reveal a bladed edge. He swiftly cut through a grunt as he landed before arching his body to cut through the one that he had leapt over as well.
He loved the fighting, however he despised the fact that the grunts were endangering Namimori, and had the baby carnivore as their main target.
He couldn't help but smirk darkly as he glanced back towards the few grunts that were left, sending a shiver of fear down their spines.
"Y-you're a d-demon!"
One of the grunts yelped as he turned, attempting to run away from him, the others paused for a few seconds before following his lead.
'I won't allow those herbivores to escape...'
The demonic perfect smirked wickedly as he began the hunt.
Tsuna was panting as he weaved through the many wires, his clothes were tattered and his body was littered with thin cuts, all of which were weeping blood, each one alone was harmless despite the sting, however the multitude of them together upon the teen's body was starting to make his body go numb.
He had managed to defeat all of the grunts with some effort, however it had been a pain to fight all of them while dodging the many wires.
"Why can't they just use guns?..."
The brunette sighed tiredly, his orange eyes had once again returned back to their honey coloured state.
He laid down on his back once he was free of all of the wires to rest, briefly wondering if Kyoya had to deal with the wires as well.
He shook his head after some thought, knowing that the wires were meant to keep the victim alive.
They weren't after the skylark, he was just in the way for them.
A soft sigh escaped his lips as his eyes slowly closed, fatigued from the multitude of events that had happened recently.
"I really need a break..."
The brunette whined softly.
