3 TYL Suzume


Tsuna, Yamamoto, and Gokudera rush to the site of the Ten Year Bazooka explosion right behind Reborn (who was muttering something along the lines of 'overdue cow butchering'). They stopped at a safe distance from the area engulfed by pink smoke.

They find Lambo by the staircase, wailing. Apparently Ipin and Fuuta had caught up to Bovino heir and disarmed him of other bombs before anything else could happen.

"Weapons are forbidden in school," A baritone voice drawls towards them, making the gang stiffen and turn back to the explosion site. "…as are trespassers."

"Hie!" Tsuna's yelp is heard as he barely dodges Hibari's tonfa. "Hibari-san!"

Reborn's eyes twinkle mischievously. "Hibari… if you weren't hit by the bazooka… that can only mean one thing…"

The smoke starts to clear. It reveals a slender woman with long hazel hair. She coughs and waves her hand in front of her face to clear the smoke.


"Ahra? What just happened?"

Yamamoto squints his eyes. "She looks a lot like…"

"R-Rikamori...san?" Tsuna calls out slowly.

The woman's head snaps up to reveal TYL Suzume in a white blouse and a black pencil skirt. A pencil is tucked behind her left ear. Her mouth drops slightly in recognition of the group in front of her.

"B-Boss?"

Reborn smirks. Well.


10 Years Later, Vongola HQ

Suzume's POV

"Wh…Where the hell am I…?" I voiced out in awe as my eyes scanned the room. "J… Just a minute ago Hibari was going to kill me… right?"

I stood in the middle of a moderately-sized office. The corners of the room were lined with numerous brown storage boxes. I notice the stack of blueprints on the desk in front of me and start scanning through them. These are military base blueprints!

I flip through the remaining files on the desk... until my eyes rest on a picture frame.

"Wh-What!"" I sputter as I grab photo from the desk. "Wh-What the hell—"

The door to the office suddenly opens and my eyes snap onto a familiar face. The black-haired disciplinary officer stands with a surprised expression in his black suit.

"Aren't you... K-Kusakabe-san?" I squeak nervously. "You—you're…"

His eyes widen for a moment as he surveys me from head to toe. He suddenly lets out a small laugh. "Suzume-sama," he says slowly as he assessed my expression. "You were hit by the Ten Year Bazooka again, weren't you?"

"S-Suzume… sama?" I repeated slowly. "…ten… year… bazooka?"

Kusakabe nods. "You're ten years into the future. The bazooka that hit you was engineered by the Bovino famiglia." He slowly makes his way to my desk. "Are you okay?"

I massaged the temple of my head for a moment. "Okay," I say slowly. He lets out an assuring smile. "But, yeah, one question….?"

"Yes?"

I let out a heavy breath and look him straight in the eyes. I lift the picture frame in my right hand. "Why the hell… am I in a wedding kimono… right beside the devil of Namimori?

"Suzume-sama," Kusakabe fidgets a bit. "Ten years into the future… you work as a combat strategist for the Vongola famiglia, err… mafia," He stops to gauge my expression. "…and, well… you've been married to Kyo-sama for three years now."

"What the fuck" seemed like an understatement, honestly.

Silence consumes us for a long while. I sniff. "I don't even like the guy…. I know he has a rather remarkable… face… but… really… why… would I go… so low…"

"A…Are you okay, Suzume-sama?"

"Oh yeah, I'm fine," I hear myself say. "Dandy. In fact, let me go ahead and jump out this window?"

I lightheadedly make my way to the open window. Kusakabe laughs nervously as I notice him pull out a black phone. "I should probably call Kyo-san…"

"What! No!"


Present Day

Clang!

In a blur, Hibari Kyoya had launched himself at the brunette. His eyes narrowed at the unmistakable set of black iron gunbai that now held one tonfa. He noticed little needles lining the folds of the war fan.

"We should probably take this to the rooftop," the woman says simply after blocking another hit from the other metal tonfa. She ducks from an incoming hit and rushes past the prefect.

Hibari's eyes narrow. The herbivore was… different.

TYL Suzume stops near the staircase, sending an assuring smile at Tsuna. "I can only last fifteen minutes against that guy… I've only started learning the gunbai," she confides in a hurry. "You should probably get Dino here quick."

Reborn hops onto her shoulder as she resumes running from the prefect. Suzume lets out a laugh as Tsuna and his friends run towards the faculty room.

"Aren't you overreacting?" Reborn squeaked. "The bazooka only lasts for five minutes. You have less than a minute left."

"Yeah, but who's going to save younger me with what I'm going to do next?"

TYL Suzume opens the door to the rooftop and quickly situates herself at the edge. The black-haired prefect arrives and glares at the pair from the entrance.

Reborn's eyes narrow suspiciously at the strategist. "Well, I'm a strategist, after all." She smirks at Reborn's expression. "I'm supposed to make the most out of the worst situations."

The Arcobaleno hops away from the woman and onto the railing as the Cloud guardian's headed towards TYL Suzume. Reborn's brows furrow as the woman closes her gunbai.

Is she underestimating Hibari? What an idiot

"I know for a fact that this version of Kyoya…" TYL Suzume drawls lazily. "…leaves himself open for exploitation." TYL Suzume notices Hibari's irritation grow at her admission. She squares her shoulders. "Play nice, Kyo-kun..." She says gleaming eyes. "That is what I call you to irritate you… right?"

Reborn's eyes widen as soon as the prefect enters her perimeter. The woman swiftly evades the first strike, holds out an expecting hand to stop the next—Reborn notices her flinch—and she twists her slender body into Hibari's chest and… leaves a soft peck at the edge of his lip.

"A little weakness hurt nobody," she whispers into Hibari's ear as pink smoke engulfed the both of them once again.


"D-D-Did that girl just kiss Hibari!"

Reborn notes the group's arrival, with the Bucking Bronco in toll. They all look scandalized.

Reborn almost flinches when he senses the deadly aura emitting from the Vongola Cloud guardian. He calls out to his students.

"Dame-Tsuna, Dino, you should probably save Suzume before Hibari kills her..." He gestures to the original version of Suzume Rikamori, now scrambled on the floor in front of Hibari. Reborn transforms Leon into a gun. "…with your dying will."

"HIEE!"

Bang!
