"Dammit Reborn!" Ie hissed as he collapsed onto the forest floor. Every bone in his body had a dull ache. "That was too much!" He breathed.
The hitman pointed his Leon gun at the collapsed teen, onyx eyes gleaming. "Get up Baka-Ie, you need to do more than that" He scoffed.
'Since I can't find Tsuna, I'll continue to beat up the idiot to kill some time'
"I can't!" Ie wheezed, too tired to throw out insults. Reborn looked at the exhausted teen for a few moments before clicking his tongue, Leon turning back into a chameleon.
"Five minute break, then we continue" Reborn replied, noting that the idiot actually wasn't just whining.
'I guess I got distracted thinking about the curse'
"Oi Baka-Ie, do you remember a strange man in a metal hat approaching Tsuna?" The hitman inquired.
Brown eyes narrowed suspiciously at Reborn "No, though it makes sense if he did, Dame-Tsuna always attracts weird people"
"Where's Tsuna-Sama?" Hayato softly sighed to himself, neither of the twins had shown up for school today. He'd immediately set out to search for the fluffy teen as soon as the bell rang.
'At least Tsuna-Sama is amazing enough to evade detection...'
"Are you looking for Tsuna too?" Emerald eyes flared back at the owner of the voice. Takeshi grinned, patting the bombers shoulder. "You're such a good friend!"
'I don't want to deal with the baseball freak! I need to find Tsuna-Sama instead!'
"Go away baseball freak, I have no time for you!" Hayato growled, fingers twitching towards his bombs. Disapproving honey eyes flashed in his mind, his fingers relaxed.
"Maybe he's visiting his friend!" The bomber opened his mouth to argue, only to pause when the other's words registered.
"Tsuna-Sama has other friends?" The silver haired teen questioned, he didn't doubt the possibility since his sky was amazing, however he didn't remember seeing any other people around Tsuna.
Takeshi nodded, slinging his arm over the bomber's shoulder. He was completely oblivious of the death glare angled towards him. "Yeah, once in a while I sometimes see this creepy looking guy with a pitchfork hiding around Tsuna" The baseball ace replied.
'This idiot saw a suspicious person around Tsuna-Sama and didn't investigate?!'
"Why the hell didn't you investigate?!" Hayato snarled, fear flooding him as he threw off the baseball fan.
'What if that guy stabs Tsuna-Sama!'
"Haha! It's fine!" Takeshi laughed, patting the bomber's shoulder. "Hibari always chases the guy away! If he was dangerous, I'd have only seen the guy once!" Takeshi grinned.
'Not even that demonic perfect is able to completely hold that guy off...'
"We need to save Tsuna-Sama!" The bomber growled, eyes wide with panic as he crouched to the ground, clutching his head. "Anyone who follows someone while carrying a pitchfork can't be safe!"
"Now now, I'm sure the guy is just a cosplayer" The baseball fan laughed, crouching down next to the panicking teen.
"Tsu-Chan, do you have to leave?" Mukuro sighed, hugging his fluffy little sky. "You rarely ever come to see me..."
The honey eyed teen pulled away, giving the illusionist a warm smile. "That's because I can always feel you due to our contract" He brought up his left wrist to show a medium sized scar. "I sometimes forget that you're not actually there..." Tsuna admitted with a small blush.
'Why does Tsu-Chan have to say such adorable things... He never lets me be upset with him'
"Then I have permission to hang around you freely?" Mukuro inquired softly, tilting the younger's chin up to meet his heterochromatic gaze. "It's not like I'm a wanted man or anything"
Honey eyed flashed orange "That's only because nobody was left, the dead speak no tales" Tsuna whispered.
'Those orange eyes are almost as mesmerizing as his honey ones'
Mukuro hummed in response. "How true That is..."
"I really should go now, Reborn might go too hard on Ieyoshi-Sama if he gets too bored" Tsuna gave a small smile at he moved away.
The illusionist clicked his tongue in disapproval "And how is your little twin? Is he doing okay?"
Honey eyes closed, Tsuna clenched his fists as he let out a sigh. "No, he's getting worse..." His voice cracked as a tremble ran through him.
'My poor sky...'
"Shhh it's okay, I'm sorry for bringing it up" Mukuro soothed, sitting down and pulling the now crying teen into his lap. "The Ie-Chan we both know and love will be okay, and return to us. We'll fix this" Mukuro whispered softly, Tsuna nodded wordlessly, clutching Mukuro's shirt.
"I want my brother back..." The brunette whimpered, leaning into the fingers going through his hair.
Mukuro looked at his crying sky, his heart clenching painfully. An indigo aura began to surround them. "Rest well Tsu-Chan" He breathed, the sky instantly went limp.
'He's so distressed that it was mere child's play to affect him with my flames...'
"Pineapple" The skylark snarled, steel eyes narrowed at the teen in the shadowed ally.
"I'm not here to pick on you Birdy, I've got a little sky that needs to go home" Mukuro whispered before vanishing, leaving behind an unconscious Tsuna.
'The baby carnivore...'
The demonic perfect swiftly scooped up the baby carnivore into his arms, swiftly looking him over for injuries. Satisfied when he found none, he leapt up onto the nearest roof and began to run across them towards the fluffy teen's house.
'The baby carnivore should not spend too much time around pineapples...'
"Ie-Chan..." Kyoya's lips curled up into a snarl at the brunette's sleepy murmur. He'd noticed the dried tear tracks.
'Insects shouldn't worry baby carnivores...'
When he arrived at Tsuna's house, he swiftly slipped through his bedroom window, gently depositing the baby carnivore onto the bed and covering him with the sheets. He gazed at the sleeping teen.
'You will not die'
A few seconds later, the only occupant of the room was the sleeping teen.
