Hey Everyone, how is everyone going with the whole COVID-19 happening along with self-isolation? Well for me it's going well...
Friend: you're lying
Me: yes I am
So I'm not doing to great, I don't have COVID-19 luckily, but seriously, I ain't doing too well at all. Honestly, self-isolation is annoying, it gets far too quiet. Anyway, the last day of term 1 is officially over so I'm out of school until it goes back. But I do Distance Education, so yeah. Anyway, here are the results of the Poll. And remember when I post the 10th chapter for this story I'll declare the winner, although I think you all know who the winner is gonna be.
Fon - 24
Reborn - 5
Hibari - 5
Bermuda - 4
A love triangle (Two Lovers) - 4
Three lovers - 2
So, before I actually make the final decision, since Fon is winning by a landslide, if I were to do a sister story to 'Kitsune Cloud' where Naruko was the only survivor of the 4th War would you all read it? Anyway, I don't own Naruto or KHR they belong to their rightful owners. I only own the plot of this story. So without further ado, let's begin Chapter 9: The meeting.
*Third P.O.V*
"Has anyone seen Skull recently?" a toddler wearing a suit with a fedora questioned the other toddlers in the room, although they may have the bodies of toddlers, they were far from toddlers, they were the Arcobaleno, of course, they were missing the cloud Arcobaleno who hadn't attended any of the meetings which was annoying.
"Last I heard, the lackey was in Carassaca" Lal stated with a scoff, she had heard about that family's terrible doings until a man called Romio took over, since then the Carassaca family has been trying to reverses what it's previous Don had done.
"Still doesn't excuse him from not being here" Reborn growled out, Fon sighed
"the Carassaca recently had a party for unknown reasons but it was big and 8 dangerous people were reported to have been there along with Skull" he stated as he sipped his tea, that got the other Arcobaleno excluding Aria to freeze
"How dangerous would you say these 8 people are?" Colonello questioned with a raised eyebrow, Fon thought for a moment before answering
"I'm not sure because I wasn't there myself, but from what I heard, they might be on par with us" now that got violent reactions from them, of course, Aria just looked slightly pale but she had technically seen this coming although she didn't actually get to see the names or faces of the 8 people who seemed to be missing one.
"How is that possible?" Verde questioned as he was pale, everyone knew that they were the strongest so to have 8 people may be on par with them is a shock
"I'm not sure, but when I caught a glimpse of them, I got a feeling there was supposed to be 9 and not 8" Aria responded to the lightning question, of course, that got everyone looking at her
"I had a vision of 8 figures but one seemed to be missing, these 8 people felt powerful but there were weird shadows behind them" she said to the questioning looks that were sent her way even if some were better at hiding it than others.
"Also Skull got caught in traffic also some thugs, so he should be showing up about… now" she continued as the door opened and a small purple blur dashed in and sat at the cloud seat as Aria set tea in front of Skull who smiled gratefully as he took a sip before sighing in content,
"Thanks, Aria, I needed a cup of jasmine tea after what just happened on the way here" Skull said with a small smile as he took another sip of tea while ignoring all the other Arcobaleno except for Fon.
"of course Skull, how bad was it that you look like you haven't slept a wink in the past week?" Aria questioned, Skull sighed softly
"paperwork" was all that was said before Aria nodded and pat the clouds back softly in condolences
"ah yes, the enemy of every mafia don" she responded sagely, Fon nodded as well, of course, Reborn decided to be his usual self and shoot a rubber bullet at Skull who just tilted his head slightly to dodge the bullet
"that doesn't explain anything lackey" he growled out with a glare, Aria sent a sharp look towards the sun while Skull just ignored him in favour of saving his tea before he yawned. Aria's eyes softened as she slowly reached over to pick Skull's small body up into her arms, Skull's body tensed when Aria picked him up but after a few minutes he relaxed his body as he took one final sip of tea before he yawned and snuggled into Aria's arms and soon he was asleep and for the first time, all the Arcobaleno watched as the stress lines they didn't know were there leave his body as he sleeps. Now that they think about it, they have actually never seen him sleep while they were around so the fact he would do it in Aria's arms means he was dead tired. Of course Aria knew the real reason but she wouldn't say otherwise it would be an invasion of privacy, she gave a pointed look to the others before setting Skull down on the couch, before they continued the meeting, Aria wasn't the only one who would let Skull sleep off the obvious exhaustion?
-time skip end of the meeting-
*Reborn P.O.V*
Once the meeting was over we all stayed for a few more minutes, just as I was about to get up a small groan was heard, I looked over and saw the lackey starting to wake up, I don't want to admit it but he looks awfully cute as he sat up and rubbed his eye while yawning
*Third P.O.V* (A/N: I'm not good with Reborns P.O.V yet)
'It should be illegal for him to be that cute /Kora/. HOW THE HELL DOES HE LOOK THAT CUTE/Kora' was the thought process of everyone as the looked at the cloud Arcobaleno who was slowly waking up fully.
"good afternoon Skull, did you enjoy your nap?" Aria questioned the cloud once he was awake enough to gladly take the cup of tea offered and started to drink it,
"I'll be fine" of course it didn't go unnoticed that Skull said 'I'll be fine' and not 'I'm fine' of course they decided to ignore it, of course, Fon remembered what Skull had said when he tracked the cloud down, could it be the nightmares? Aria frowned softly before saying they were free to go and that the meeting was adjourned.
So this chapter is shorter then others and I do apologise for that. But fear not I have been working on the 10th chapter and it will be longer than this one. Anyway, I'll see you all later, I'm gonna catch up on some anime. Also, I have another KHR crossover book in the making, so hopefully, you will like it when I post it. Also, my Stinglu story has henceforth been discontinued until I can track down my documents which hold the chapters for that story.
