"Clefairy! Clefairy! Clefairy!"
How in the world did Tsuna get into this mess in the first place? Well…
After leaving Pewter City, Fairy was more excited than usual. Tsuna just let him drone on, not really processing his excited babbles. Honestly he stopped when Fairy mentioned something about "brethren" and just yeah, no. Snoring lightly, Bacchus slept soundly in Tsuna's arms while Dante and Mira bickered about the best ways to mutilate Fairy. Ace kept a lookout from Tsuna's head and Hibari wasn't helping in any way again like usual, the jerk.
Soon they arrived at the foot of a large mountain. Tsuna bent his back backwards trying to look up at the top. The starry sky was a nice backdrop until gray clouds started rolling in. A drop of water plopped on Tsuna's nose. Gasping, he quickly ushered everyone inside, pushing Hibari to make the fucker move. "It's going to rain!"
As if on cue, more rain started falling from the sky, pattering against the dirt road and tall forest trees. Tsuna checked to make sure Dante's tail was good to go when Fairy hopped down and pointed deep inside the dim cave. "Cleffa!"
"Oh, you know the way?" Tsuna said, rubbing Dante's head. Mira smiled when Tsuna patted hers after. "Hibari, do you know this place?"
Hibari walked ahead of him. "I've conquered it."
Tsuna blinked. "Huh?" He quickly followed Hibari's calm strides. "What do you mean?"
"Cleffa!"
"Oh, you're from here?"
"Cleffa?"
"Y—Yes, I was listening! Uh, your…brethren, right?"
Fairy smiled again. "Cleffa! Cleffa, Cleffa!"
"Uh, I don't know about a family reunion…"
But Fairy had already lifted Tsuna above his head, making him shriek, and dashed off. Dante and Mira cried out Tsuna's name before quickly following suit. Screaming, Tsuna held onto Bacchus like a lifeline while Ace tried pecking Fairy's eyes. The Cleffa spun and kicked Ace away. The motion made Tsuna dizzy and almost drop Bacchus who finally woke the fuck up.
What greeted him was probably the most terrifying thing he'd ever seen. Dozens upon dozens of bigger Cleffas, chanting "Clefairy", spun in the air around a beautiful, glimmering stone resting on a rocky pedestal. Amazed, Tsuna couldn't help but stare as it twinkled under the moonlight—until the Clefairys suddenly stopped and a few pushed the Moon Stone off, making a loud crash. Tsuna couldn't even blink when Fairy hopped on top of the platform and placed him down. He then flung Bacchus off to some Clefairys, who took the confused Bulbasaur away to Arceus knew where. Tsuna widened his eyes. "B—Bacchus!"
Fairy gripped his shirt tightly to stop him from leaving. "Cleffa!"
"What? I'm not—You never said that!"
Fairy then turned to address the other Clefairys, "Cleffa, Cleff, Cleffa! Cleffa!"
Tsuna paled as Hibari appeared at the entrance, aloof. "I—One, stop calling me that! Two, I'm not going to become your Queen! What…"
No one listened to him. And that was how he was stuck with a bunch of Clefairys chanting crazy stuff. "Clefairy! Clefairy! Clefairy!"
"I—I'm not your anything!" Tsuna said, trying to take off the cuddling Fairy from his face. "Fairy, tell them to stop!"
"Cleffa!"
"For Arceus' sake, I'm not your mama! Stop calling me that! Hibari, do something!"
Hibari just stood there with his arms crossed over his chest, silent. The fucking—
All the Clefairys stopped in their dance. Their smiles were just creepy. "Clefairy," they all said in one big unison. Tsuna flinched. "No! I'm not staying here with you forever!" Mira, Dante, and Ace were missing, too. "Gah, just give me back my Pokémon! What did you do to them?"
"Clefairy," one of them said.
"What do you mean they're asleep? Give them back!"
"Clefairy! Clefairy!"
Tsuna covered his face with his hands. His fingers trembled as he took in a shaky breath. "Please… Fairy, make them stop…"
Silence fell in the rocky clearing. Tears suddenly sprung up in his eyes when Fairy hopped down from his face, looking worried. "Cleffa…"
Tsuna sniffled. "I—It's not your fault. Just…can we just go?"
"Clefairy! Clefairy!"
"Cleffa."
Tsuna blinked when Fairy held him up again and hopped over the Clefairys' heads. The wind swept through his hair as Fairy sprinted down another cave. Hibari was terrifyingly not far behind. How they worked together so well was a mystery to Tsuna; then again, his own life was one big mystery. The ground shook underneath them, rumbling in the air, as the Clefairys chased them down. "Clefairy!"
Fairy smiled. "Cleffa!"
Tsuna wiped his eyes. "Watch your language!"
Fairy just giggled. Suddenly he turned around and opened his mouth. It started glowing a light blue color before he released a powerful wind of blue sparkles at the Clefairys, effectively freezing them in a large, wonky block of ice. Fairy tittered again. "Cleffa!"
Tsuna shivered. "Um, yeah….great job. Can you take me to my Pokémon now?"
"Cleffa!"
"…you're Hibari's Pokémon…"
"Cleffa, Cleffa!"
Tsuna flushed. "Don't call him that!"
"Cleffa!"
Tsuna just pinched the bridge of his nose. "Just…get me to my Pokémon."
Apparently, the Clefairys were right. His Pokémon were thrown into a small pile and snoozing off along with the myriad of wild Zubats, Geodudes, and Paras. Oh, so that was where they were. Tsuna hopped down from Cleffa's stubby hands and returned his sleeping Pokémon inside their PokéBalls for the first time since he met them. Sighing, he followed Fairy out of the mountain; the air smelled damp from the rain and the starless sky was clear of most of the clouds. Tsuna almost collapsed on a boulder and slumped. "I'm going to pretend that never happened…"
Hibari grunted. "They don't do that."
Tsuna scowled weakly. "You think anyone wants that to happen? That was scary and you weren't any help!"
"Cleffa, Cleffa!"
"We're not fighting! I'm just trying to get this—this jerk to understand that I never asked for this."
Fairy rubbed Tsuna's ankle. "Cleffa!"
"I'm not your m—You know what, never mind."
A voice shouted in the distance, "Wait!"
Tsuna stared when a strange purple cat and a Growlithe bounded towards him. He squeaked when they leaped for him before meeting Cleffa's foot. They rolled on the ground just as a boy with silver hair appeared at the mouth of the cave. Panting, he leaned on his knees to catch his breath. Tsuna did not like the way the boy looked at him.
"A—Are you a UMA or a UMP?"
Tsuna blinked. "What?"
"What you did back there was amazing and I've never seen or read anything about that before! How did you get the Clefairys to do that? They only worship the Moon Stone but then I saw you actually talking to them so I have to know! Are you an UMA? Or maybe even something else?"
…
"What?"
A/N Don't make Fairy's mama cry or you're gonna get it (kind of).
Thank you for reading! I hope to see you again in the next chapter.
Have a lovely day~
