Chapter 5

Tsuna began to think that this man wasn't a human or was just ridiculously strong.

Both sides continuously attacked one another and neither of them slowed the pace but instead increased it. Avoiding a blow, Tsuna jumped back, putting some safe distance from the other. As he observed, he knew that the man didn't have any slight will to stop nor take a break, which actually was bad news for Tsuna. Well, the latter knew that he wasn't in the condition to participate in such as heated fight. He needed to run away, before something he did not rather want to go through, happens.

The brunet began to look for an escape, but his opponent seemed to realize it, he then jumped forward to deliver another blow. Tsuna quickly avoided it by moving to his left side. "Tch." The latter mumbled, face contorted in annoyance. He realized that the other provoked him to fight-back and Tsuna would gladly do so only if it absolutely was in his favors. The moment he takes the bait then it is game over for him. With that, Tsuna restrained himself as he heaved a sigh to gather his composure back.

'Who in their right mind has given a weapon that shouldn't be possessed by this psycho? It was a crime by default.' Tsuna thought bitterly as he defended from another blow. 'Dammit. If I ever have a chance to meet with this bastard, I'll make him pay!' He almost missed the attack from his opponent but managed to avoid it in a millisecond. That seemed to surprise the other if his widened steel-black eyes weren't enough of a proof. 'Right. Focus.' He decided after that.

'Maybe...' finally, when something more appropriate that happened to stop-by in his mess state of mind, popped up, 'I could use it just for getting away.' With that thought, he suddenly ran as fast as he could toward the nearest tree. He glared when the other immediately appeared on his way. Without losing a pace, Tsuna brought his hands up, opened his palms, ready to take the blow. As both of them almost crashed together, Tsuna's eyes sharpened as a gleam of orange flashed.

Hibari's eyes slightly widened as the brunet caught both of his tonfas bare-handedly before the latter lift his feet from the ground and used the impact to pass from above him. He landed gracefully on the ground behind him before bolting to the tree and immediately jumped up. Hibari quickly concentrated to pinpoint the brunet, only to see the teen leaped from the trunk to pass the tall wall.

The skylark then bolted to the entrance, having no intention to letting the herbivore get away so easily. Bringing his tonfas up, he turned left where the other should be.

Only to see no one but the empty road.

"Tch."

[000]

Tsuna huffed as he rested his back on a wall. Really, he absolutely chose a wrong decision to visit this place which never ever happened before because you see, he had this intuition that strangely alarmed him whenever something amiss would happen. And since the so called intuition didn't flare off, he thought it was just like any other days.

Any other days my ass! It was so very wrong since the beginning and he should have notice it once that group of geezer ruined his peaceful walk. Great, from all of days, today just happened to be the day of his intuition rebels against him and God, how lame did he just think of that. He instantly blamed the heat for getting on him. Anyway, he was currently hiding in a certain alley after making sure that he was completely safe and away from that tonfa-man. Much alive and kicking.

He then gazed up to see the sun was still as high and bright as ever. Ugh, really…he didn't have any hatred toward the sunlight but this intensity was out of his tolerance. He put his hoodie on as he gulped and frowned when he felt his throat dry. He needed water. Like, really really surely undoubtedly needs water.

"Darn..." He mumbled tiredly as he pushed on to his feet and began to walk out of the alley for searching a nearest convenience store. Right when he stepped out, he heard the all too familiar sound of an automatic bell from his left and immediately turned.

At least, his wish came true which effectively prevented curses coming in every languages he knew from his mouth.

"Talk about perfect timing." He mumbled as he jogged over to the entrance. As the automatic door opened, the brunet then continued his way to the numerous aisles. Taking a cold water bottle and a chocolate bar, he went to the cashier. Since there wasn't any beeline, he immediately put the things for the cashier to ring them up. Meanwhile, Tsuna was about to take out his wallet when he noticed an unusual lightness in his pocket.

Confused, Tsuna checked for another place. Nowhere. He then began to search carefully to the point that he didn't even hear how much the price are.

"Um, Sir?" The cashier called.

"Wait." Tsuna immediately replied (well, it is more like a demand though) as he concentrated on the whereabouts of his wallet. 'Think Tsuna, where the hell did it possibly go? Did it fall during the fight? If it did, I should consider bribing this man. But I'm sure it wasn't around that time…Let's see, when I left home, I put it on somewhere-Oh. Oh.' His eye widened in remembrance then he silent for a while before muttering bluntly, "I forgot my wallet."

The cashier blinked and monotonously said, "If so, I am sorry, Sir, but we'll have to put them back to place." He was about to touch it but the brunet immediately intervene, "Hold on, I really need it. Can...Can I pay them in some other way?" He asked suggestively.

The cashier immediately answered, "I am sorry Sir but that's against our policy."

"But—" Tsuna was about to start an argument when another voice spoke up.

"Excuse me, but what's the matter?"

The brunet immediately turned back to find a tall man standing behind him. The cashier also took notice of the man as he pointedly explain, "The kid doesn't have any money to buy these things, Sir."

Tsuna's mood immediately darkened at the word "kid". Didn't he call him "Sir" a while ago? How did it change so fast? Well, that was not the point. The point was; he was 18 for heaven sakes! He was legally an adult! "I said I forgot my wallet." He said it in an obvious irritated tone, "And I am not a kid." he added but was openly ignored by the cashier

The tall stranger nodded before smiling politely, "I see. In that case, I will pay for this man's behalf. How much is it?" The cashier stared for a while before muttering the price and put the items into a plastic bag.

Tsuna, who has been watching quietly at the side line, blinked twice. He kept his gaze pinned on the man as the cashier handed the plastic bag to him. Muttering a small thank, the man then turned to him and got closer. Soon enough, a plastic bag containing his needs, was presented before him.

"Here you are." The man said while smiling kindly. Tsuna made no gesture to take the plastic though. He just stood there, eyeing it a little longer before bringing his view up to stare at the man, all the while chanting 'curse you tall people' in the back of his mind.

Tsuna would be lying if he said that the man in front of him wasn't gorgeous. The blonde hair and the clear blue eyes is enough to catch people's attention. He noted somewhere in his mind that all of the people in the store were eventually staring at this man, mostly the women population. If that wasn't charming enough, the little action he just did made them all go dreamy.

But Tsuna—

He muttered in an icy tone, "I despise people like you." The sentence came out, loud and clear as the day outside.

—hated that.

[000]

Giotto was, in a lack of words, shocked.

Apparently, the kid he had just helped said something that he did not have the slightest idea that it would be the response to his action. He…he wasn't prepared for something like this. For a second thought, what had he done wrong to deserve such a mental blow? God, he actually went through three seconds of breakdown from then.

There was a thick silence that surrounds them before the kid casually took the plastic bag that he offered him before. "I'll pay you back. Someday." He muttered before turned to leave the store. Still in the state of healing after the breakdown he had just gone through, Giotto's brain took a longer second to register the saying.

"Someday huh. That's… really convincing." The blonde mumbled not small enough because the kid immediately answered, "Then you just probably have to let it go or let the fate decide for it. Choose." the kid's back was then swallowed by the store's door while Giotto surely didn't want to be in there anymore.

"Oh! There you are Giotto. Look, is it what you are looking for—what's with the face?" G asked as his eyebrow raised.

"Oh. G." the other answered weakly before adding, "About that…what face?" G stared, unimpressed. "You know what? Never mind. Let's go." He said before walking towards the entrance, Giotto followed behind him. "But G, we aren't done yet—"

"Well…" G cut him, "I'd better take you back to home since you look like you just witnessed Lambo ate your birthday cake and I don't want to be questioned 'bout it." That effectively shut Giotto's mouth up.

[000]

After exiting the store, Tsuna immediately fished out the water bottle from the plastic bag that hung around his wrist. Opening it with ease, he gulped amount of water until he felt satisfied.

He wiped the remaining water off of his lip, pleased. Still walking, he then put the empty bottle back to the bag and fished out the chocolate bar. Noticing a trash bin, he threw the plastic bag that went in easily. The brunet stared at the sweet in hand. He contemplated whether to eat it now or save it for later. Somewhere in the process, his thought suddenly swirled back to that stranger.

Regardless how Tsuna handled the whole situation, frankly, he felt something off about the man. His institution told so and the brunet choose to believe it. See? Even after the rebellious act ordeal, Tsuna still believed in his institution since it had saved him many times before but truthfully it was mostly because it was a part of him and Tsuna just loved himself that much.

Back to the man, he gave off this vibe that somewhat make him feel this unidentified feeling and he...didn't like it.

"THERE HE IS!" A sudden shout cut his train of thought forcefully as the brunet turned behind. "Shit! Those geezers again!" He tch-ed before pocketing the chocolate bar then ran away. He heard those angry yells that told him to stop but of course, he ignored them; 'Are they stupid or stupidity is all they made of? Seriously.' The brunet then entered the nearest alley as a smirk made its way to his lips. The angry mob followed behind before everything went silence.

[000]

"So, all that caused this is because something a random kid told you?" G asked seriously and Giotto answered by nodding hesitantly. There was a five seconds pause before G threw his head up in laughter.

Well, Giotto certainly had a few screws loose long time ago for befriending this bastard who was laughing his ass off when he was suffering a mental breakdown. Maybe, he should do some considerations before telling embarrassing things like this to someone, because G, his best friend and right-hand man, proved to be a terrible listener.

''Ha—haha…sorry about that. So tell me, what exactly this brat said?" G asked and was that excitement he heard? Giotto gave him a blank stare before mumbling, "He said that he despises…me." He whispered for the last part and damn, he could hear a crack sound in his newly rebuilt mentality.

G stared at him like some professional detective does to a suspect of a serial killer in questioning session which made Giotto kinda nervous, "Giotto, what exactly are you doing to that kid?" G asked and after some pleading, bribing, and sulking from Giotto's side, the blonde began to tell the story's detail.

Several uh-huh's and sulking passed before G commented, "But you know, what that kid's said is quite ironically related to our job and all." G gave him a knowing look while Giotto frowned. "What about that? We are just a vigilante group. Nothing else."

The pink-haired sighed, "Of course, just a vigilante group who's feared by all of the mafias in the world and also took control in the underworld. Yeah, sounds pretty generic for me." G said before turning to starting the car and Giotto just stayed silent in the passenger seat.

[000]

Tsuna blinked. And blinked again. He heard the sound of engine on. Shit! The car he was in was moving. Damn!

He began to reach for the ceiling then tried to push it slowly before realizing that it didn't budge even slightest and tried once again with more effort in which ended up being fruitless. He almost cursed loudly but held himself just in time. He didn't want to cause himself any more trouble.

How did he end up in this situation?

Simple. Well apparently, after he entered the alley, there was this quite luxury car which surprisingly parked in there. Thinking that fighting was more troublesome and also he was not in the mood too, he decided to hide by inviting himself to enter the car's trunk that once again, surprisingly was left unlocked. The thought of it being a trap did cross his mind but he just shrugged it off and carelessly went it. Slowly closing the lid, he waited quietly as the sound of the gang furiously looking for him arrived. It took some time before the gang went somewhere else. As the sound began to fade away, tiredness took the better of him then he unconsciously fell into a deep slumber.

Only to be awakened by the car's engine roaring to life.

"Damn..." He muttered quietly, 'I need to get out as soon as possible.' He then reaching for the lid again. 'But, how?!' he tried to push it but it still didn't budge. His knee unintentionally hit the car and he grimaced at the loud sound.

'Shit. I am done.'
