Sixth Trouble and so much more

He must be a ghost, Tsuna thinks rather warily. He has to be! After all, how else has no one else noticed him? The guy practically stood out like a sore thumb!

Said 'ghost' sat on the farthest edge of the sushi bar, his bright hair shining like a beacon. He didn't look that much older then Tsuna, perhaps around Hibari's age? The boy was making this awfully weird sound as he twirled something in his hands. (Something along the lines of 'Ushishishi'? What the heck is that anyways? Some sort of curse?) He didn't know, but the sound sent shivers down the brunet's spine.

Tsuna pretends that the thing the blond is currently twirling around is not a sharp, and pointy shiny knife that is probably used to stab people if those stabbing motions were any indication. He also politely ignores his 'STRANGER DANGER' alarms and his 'Weirdo-alert'. He just really, really did not want to get involved. The boy was wearing strange dark clothing, and had bangs that covered his eyes- which made him look even creepier; in Tsuna's opinion at least. To top it all off, he had a tiara on the top of his head.

The stranger tilts his head, and even though his eyes weren't revealed, Tsuna had the strangest feeling that they had just made eye contact. The blond then did the most terrifying thing ever.

He smiled, teeth white and sharp and pointy. The hair covering his eyes only seemed to amplify the horrific sight. It reminded the brunet of serial killers.

Needless to say, Tsuna is reasonably creeped out as he quickly turns away.

"Psst, Yamamoto-kun."

The baseball player blinks from where he is sitting next to Tsuna, and smiles. "Yo, Tsuna, what's up? And didn't I tell you to call me Takeshi?"

The brunet laughs nervously, "Oh right. Takeshi, um...can you see him?"

"See who?"

Tsuna's brows furrow because he really doesn't want to point at the stranger, and he doesn't really want to turn his head in case they made eye contact again, but he really wants to know so-

"The guy in the corner over there." He whispers instead.

Takeshi laughs, "Of course I can!"

A pause."...And you don't think...anything is weird?"

Takeshi squints, looking confused. "No."

Tsuna simply stares blankly at him. ...Oh. OH. Right, he had totally forgotten that Yamamoto Takeshi despite being seemingly normal was, well- to be blunt: crazy as well. He smiles at the boy and nods in thanks. He then proceeded to hop off his chair and approach one of his normal friends. Well, more normal then the rest at least.

"Ne, Shouichi, do you see that boy in the corner?"

The redhead smiled. "Nope."

Tsuna looked at him incredulously. "You don't see him?" Was he a ghost after all?

The boy looked sheepish for a moment before looking away. "Oh, well- I see him, but since he practically screams trouble- I just pretended that he wasn't there. He's not there by the way, just a figment of your imagination, so just relax." He continued nonchalantly, making an effort to not look at the strange boy in the corner.

"...I see." Tsuna took a moment to worry about the redhead's current immense state of denial since he was pretty sure that that was not healthy. At all. But alas, the brunet did not want to pop the boy's bubble since he was pretty sure that that was Shouichi's only way to cope. That or the multiple stomachaches.

The brunet bites his lip before resigning himself to the inevitable. He returned to his seat and pretended that the stranger wasn't there.


He was kidnapped.

This, without a doubt- was a novelty that the brunet never wanted to experience.

Kidnapped by a kid a few years older than him, kidnapped by that creepy stranger in Takesushi. This was going to be the last time Tsuna ignored his alarms.

"Mmph!"

"Silence, peasant! The prince will now bring you to the stupid shark captain! Ushishi." The blond cackled gleefully as his hands jerked a bit on the steering wheel.

Tsuna realized quite numbly that the 'Ushishi' was actually a laugh. A sick, demented kind of laughter, but laughter all the same. That does no bode well for his future, neither does the fact that a boy around ten or eleven years old was currently driving (who gave a car to a child?). If Tsuna wasn't going to get bitten to death for being kidnapped, he sure as hell was getting bitten to death for being in the same car as an illegal driver.

Alright, he needed to calm down, though to be honest- he wasn't that panicked. Just annoyed and slightly shocked that he was well, kidnapped.

Stupid shark captain. Stupid shark captain. Did he meet anyone like that before? Did he insult anyone before? Oh. Well actually, he could be kidnapped based on his connection to the skylark. His lips twisted into a frown, the gag on his mouth made him feel uncomfortable and the bounds on his wrists and ankles dug into his skin.

The car stopped, and the brunet felt dread creep into him. It seemed like the situation finally sunk in. The blond flashed him another one of his creepy smiles. The 'prince' then untied the ropes on his ankles. "Ushishishi. Now peasant, if you resist- the prince will have to stab you and paint you in red."

Ouch. And so he allowed himself to be dragged into a hotel room and up. (Why didn't the staff do anything? Like. What?) The staff seemed to politely ignore his current situation, only greeting them as they passed by.

Finally, they stopped in front of one of the doors, and the blond yanked out Tsuna's gag. The older boy laughed before sauntering in, leading the brunet in by pulling on the ropes.

"VOOIII! Where the hell-" The familiar voice abruptly stopped as he took in the blond and brunet. Tsuna felt like he was just hit with a pan. Squalo! Of course!

"What the hell are you doing you brat?!"

"Ushishi! The prince has brought the peasant, stupid captain!"

"You kidnapped a civilian?!"

"No, I kidnapped someone of Varia Quality!" Squalo scowled in response. "So you were watching."

"Of course! Ushishi, the prince wants him to join since there are too many peasants. He's interesting...and fluffy."

Tsuna felt like he was some sort of stray cat being brought in by a boy and currently getting rejected by the mother. The oddly domestic scene in his imagination almost made him choke.

"Ushishi, the peasant is mine!"

Squalo looked like he was about to maim the blond so Tsuna hesitantly stepped in. "Squalo-san?"

The teenager paused to give him a sharp look. "Well, I suppose since he's here and knows too fucking much already, we can't let him go. Varia needed more talented recruits anyway..."

Tsuna blanched. This Varia thing sounded mighty suspicious already, and the brunet did not forget Squalo's parting words last time. Killing people for a living was not cool, and the boy had no intention of doing it.

"Um! Squalo-san, I really don't know anything."

"Well, peasant- let the prince educate you. The Varia is an assassination-"

"VOI! Shut the hell up you brat!" He then turned back to Tsuna. "Well, too late now kid." Squalo felt a tiny bit of pity for the brunet as he seemed to pale and flounder for excuses. No matter how vicious others said he was, he always had been a bit softer on the kids. Well, all kids besides the 'royal pain in the ass' that is.

"Hibari Kyoya. Don't worry brat, I'll train you myself. Soon you'll be assassinating like a pro." Tsuna jolted as he remembered that he had given the silver haired teenager a false name before.

The blond's smirking face slowly faded into a frown. "Oi, idiot captain. His name is Sawada Tsunayoshi."

A loud, tense pause as everything seemed to still.

Tsuna wanted to disappear very, very badly as he quickly turned away from the two.

"What."

"Did you get tricked, stupid captain?"

A pause before Squalo looked at Tsuna with a bit of embarrassment coloring his features -and to his surprise- rather proudly. "Misleading possible threats and bullshitting. I like the way you think brat."

"Ushishi, the captain got tricked by a five year old."

"I'm eight!" Tsuna protested in reflex. "And I don't want to be in the Varia-"

He was interrupted as the door was promptly kicked down, and Tsuna didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he saw the skylark at the entry way.

And then the windows shattered and everything just went to hell.


Tsuna tased someone today, well- he actually had to tase him twice since the blond (who was apparently named Bel) didn't lose consciousness the first time. Which was very impressive as the taser (a newly improved small size version that the inventing duo had sent him) could usually knock a full grown adult out.

He had to admit, interrupting the skylark in mid battle was not his smartest idea. Oh well. He could deal with a seething Hibari later.

"Squalo-san, I appreciate that you think so highly of myself, but I'm afraid that I cannot join your group." Smile. A big, inviting smile. Tsuna tried to copy his mother as flowers bursted in the background. "Please take, Bel-san was it? With you when you go."

The teenager looked disgruntled as he looked at the kids surrounding him.

"I do promise that I will keep everything a secret."

Squalo paused for a moment before shrugging. "I guess that's fine for now. I'll come back next time ("Haha, Tsuna still won't go next time." Was Takeshi's input.) for you." He then threw the unconscious blond over his shoulder and approached the broken window. Perhaps he was feeling vindictive or just plain spiteful at the moment. Tsuna will never know as he jumped out the window right after, leaving the brunet reeling with his parting message.

"We'll visit next time, 'Hibari Kyoya'."

A long pause.

"...Herbivore.."

Tsuna didn't think he had ever felt so terrified in his life.


After that incident, Tsuna gained a Shouichi and Spanner made cellphone, a new taser and several tracking chips.

Oh. And a beating, you can't forget the hospital worthy beating.


A/N: If anyone is confused, Squalo was talking to Tsuna when he left. And so Hibari knows that his identity was used hahaa.
