So congrats Crayontesla! I decided to have your lovely prompt be part of the main story! I hope you like it!
The prompt: Could I possibly see a tsuna stalking reborn because of pretty flames. You don't have to flesh it out much, even having one of the other children catch him before it becomes a thing. (I honestly just like the thought of a baby floor wiggling his butt like a kitten trying to catch a dark, dangerous being).
I don't own KHR.
Tsuna hummed a merry tune as he walked down the street with Kyoya and Chrome by his side. It has been about a month-and-a-half since Kyoya fully recovered from ammonia and things were looking good. No one was sick, Takeshi finally had pants that fit him (thank you formerly rich man!), and diapers were on sale today. Tsuna honestly felt like he couldn't be happier than he was right now.
"It's only three," mumbled Kyoya as he glared at the people passing by. "Why is there so much crowding?"
There were only four or so other people on the same block as them. Tsuna decided it was wise to not say anything though.
"Well, it is a Saturday," answered Chrome softly as she smiled and gave a little wave to the couple who saw Kyoya's glare and were offended. "Maybe they are here to beat the rush hour just like us."
"Still..." grumbled Kyoya. "I can't help but think that this is unusual..."
Tsuna opened his mouth so that he could appease his older brother by saying that at least the three of them were leaving town now, when suddenly...he felt it. He didn't even know what it was, only that it was...warm. Safe. Oh so very warm and safe.
Curious, Tsuna looked around to find the source of the safety and warmth. He didn't have to look far.
The source was a tall man in a black suit, complete with a black fedora adorned with an orange ribbon. Tsuna couldn't see the man's eyes because of the fedora but he was able to make out his curly sideburns. He was sitting at one of the tables at the cafe across the street, drinking what was probably some kind of coffee as he talked to the guy sitting next to him.
Said guy was looking pretty frightened but Tsuna honestly wasn't paying him that much attention. Instead, he was focused on the...yellow pacifier around the suit-wearing man's neck. Which was glowing.
No...that wasn't right. The pacifier was...on fire. And not just any fire, but a fire that only consisted of bright yellow flames, instead of the normal mixture of orange, red, and yellow. Also, instead of just emitting heat like normal flames, it was emitting the safety and warmththat had caught Tsuna's attention in the first place.
And...Tsuna had to admit that the strange yellow flames were pretty. Really pretty.
"Tsuna!"
"What are you doing?!"
"Huh?" Tsuna uttered as he blinked his brown eyes and looked around him confusedly. Instead of standing on the sidewalk, he was in the middle of the road. And instead of walking beside him, Kyoya and Chrome were in front of him, their hands grasping desperately at his arms and general upper body as they pulled him back to the safety of the sidewalk. Tsuna was silent as they maneuvered their way around the few cars heading towards them, trying to remember what just happened.
But for the life of him...he just couldn't remember moving towards the man at all.
"Tsuna, are you okay?" Chrome anxiously asked once they were back on the sidewalk, her purple eye full of fear, concern, and bewilderment.
"Yeah, I'm okay," Tsuna assured her with a nod. "Just...what just happened?"
"I was hoping you could tell us little omnivore," Kyoya responded, his tone a bit sharp as his hands became fists at his sides. "One moment you were with us, and the next you were jaywalking with this...blank look in your eyes."
"It was like you were possessed or something!" exclaimed Chrome before she gasped. "Wait...what was the last thing you remember?"
"I...remember looking at the yellow flames," Tsuna answered as he pointed to where the flames were.
However, when he looked in that direction, the yellow flames were gone. The man wearing the fedora and pacifier were still there, but the flames were gone.
"What flames?" asked Kyoya as he looked where Tsuna was pointing at. "I just see herbivores."
"Well...they were there," Tsuna replied, feeling more and more bewildered by the second. "They were completely yellow and they were coming from that man's pacifier. I...I know it sounds crazy but..."
But what? The fire were gone, and with them, the complete safety and warmth that they were emitting. Did...did he just imagined them? After all, why would flames come from a pacifier of all things?
"Maybe...that man is like a siren?" suggested Chrome before biting her lip, clearly unsure of her answer. Tsuna tilted his head as he devoted his attention to his sister.
"What's a siren?"
"Oh, it's..."
"Tell him later Chrome," Kyoya interrupted as he suddenly grabbed both Chrome's and Tsuna's hands and pratically tugged them both down the sidewalk. "We have to go, and we got to go now."
"Wh...why? What happened?" Tsuna cried he tried to keep up with Kyoya's fast pace, frightened at the sudden change in his brother's behavior.
It was like he was both...alarmed and excited at the same time.
Kyoya didn't answered for a moment as he continued to tug them down the sidewalk. But when he did, it brought shivers down Tsuna's spine.
"That man with the pacifier isn't a herbivore as I first thought. He's the most dangerous carnivore I have ever seen."
So...what made Kyoya change his mind I wonder? In any case, one of the only reasons why he didn't just confront Reborn is because Chrome and Tsuna were there. And that in this universe Kyoya is bit more cautious due to his fear that his family will be torn apart if people found out there were a bunch of runaway children hiding in a cave.
Okay, so what do you think I should write next? A prompt (if I get one), the next chapter of the main story, or someone's backstory? Please leave your opinions in a review and I will update as soon as I can! Have a good day/night!
