Thanks a lot to those who commented, it really meant a lot to me. I laughed at how eager you guys are so I'm not going to disappoint anyone :D
Lots of typos (_ _lll) I'll work on that, so here's chapter five! :D
Could it get any worse?
It always does. Those thoughts raced through Tsuna's head as he followed the trail of roughly beaten-up bodies that lay all over the street, not to mention the buildings that were demolished along the way.
"So Gokudera, why are you wet?" Yamamoto asked while they were running.
"It's all your fault baseball nut! I got caught up with your wave!" Gokudera growled. Sure enough, he was an all innocent bystander when suddenly a tidal wave washed him away. Whose fault was that then?
"Haha, sorry Gokudera." Yamamoto apologized.
Tsuna didn't pay attention as he was still looking for Hibari. Where did he go now?
"Jyuddaime! Look up there!" Gokudera shouted, pointing up. Tsuna raised his head and saw a familiar yellow puff ball, flying in the air. Where there's Hibird, there's Hibari.
Sure enough they found him. Hibari was still looking for more herbivores to bite to death. Tsuna slipped his hands into his gloves, "Wait! Hibari-san!"
~ Vongola Famiglia ~
The first generation family stepped towards the scene, their mouths agape at the destruction before them. The center of the town was literally full of craters, bodies and Giotto had just received a report that the enemy was "washed out" near the town's stream. They said it was as if a tidal wave hit them. Then there was another odd thing they reported, buildings were demolished, some had gaping holes, others looked like some kind of huge cannon ball passed by. Right now, their men was putting out fires.
"Could the enemy really have caused this much damage?" Asari wondered out loud.
"If it was really them then why is it that they were caught up in it?" G said, which settled that this was the work of another group, but who?
"Primo, take a good look at this." Knuckled called out as he checked the wounded. In public the guardians always called their boss by his title, except maybe Alaude, he never says anyone's name much and Deamon just calls him Primo.
Giotto saw a familiar face. "Amelia!" he said, surprised. He forgot she was stationed here. As they got closer, they saw she was roughly beaten up.
"Who are the ones that caused this?" Alaude asked. Always straight to the point. G rolled his eyes.
Amelia cleared her throat after that she drank some water, she inhaled too much debris. She closed her eyes tightly, as if she was going to say something painful.
"A child." She said, her voice sounded like someone was strangling her. She was though, before.
"A child?" Deamon repeated, not sounding convinced at all. She nodded.
"I was half-conscious at the time but he was a child… and a powerful one." She said, clasping her hands tightly. She was afraid of punishment, who would believe her anyway.
"Not a baby?" Giotto asked. They all looked at him, as if he was going mad. It could be an Arcobaleno was around here. Amelia shook her head. Giotto frowned. Not only was he worried for Tsuna, he was stuck to finding this 'child'. He could feel a growing headache coming up.
"Where did he go?" G asked. Amelia shook her head and bowed.
"I apologize, I fainted before seeing which direction he went." She said. Knuckle placed his hand on her shoulder, smiling encouragingly "It's fine, its good your okay though." he said.
The others who did care for people nodded. Amelia grimaced.
Giotto walked away, followed by G and Asari.
"Tsuna…" G and Asari looked at each other. He was really worrying for the boy.
"Nufufufu~ don't worry Primo, if we find his corpse I'll report to you immediately." Deamon said as he appeared beside them. G glared at him. "Piss off will you?" he snarled at him.
"G, don't." Giotto sighed. He knew Tsuna was alive, his intuition told him that.
G quieted but that didn't stop him from glaring daggers at the mist guardian.
BOOM!
"What was that?" Asari said as he turned around. Debris rained from the sky, heading straight towards them. Asari pull out his swords and cut everything that came to their path until all was reduced to splints (G later on complained that he was hit in the eye).
"OI! HIBARI!"
They turned their heads to see a silver-haired child jumped out from a collapsing building.
"Why you- ARE YOU TRYING TO FUCKING KILL ME?" Gokudera shouted towards the roof.
G felt frozen on his spot. Knuckle ran next to them and stopped as he saw the silver-haired child. He raised a finger, "Is it me or is it that kid looks just like-" Giotto covered his mouth. If Knuckle said anymore than that then Giotto was sure that G would have a heart attack on the spot, certainly he was pale as sheet, not to mention the huge eyes.
Lampo and Alaude joined them, they too stared at the child, who was swearing curses at someone who they couldn't see because of the dust cloud. As it cleared, all of them, yes, even Alaude, was gaping at the young black-haired boy that was standing on top of a house with the most uninteresting expression in his eyes as he watched the silver-haired boy shouting at him.
The shock disappeared s fast as it came when another child emerged, from the air.
"Shijaku no Ame!" Yamamoto attacked with a thrust. Hibari was quick and caught the blade between his tonfas. Next, he threw Yamamoto to where Gokudera was. Gokudera had no time to think as he jumped and cushioned Yamamoto's fall. Asari stared, dumbfounded.
"Why… did I ever saved you?" Gokudera grunted from under.
Yamamoto laughed. "I owe you then." He said. Gokudera growled but didn't say anymore as he shouted, "Jyuddaime!"
Another strong blast and the building that Hibari was standing on crumbled. From the inside of the dust cloud they heard metal clash with something, then a loud cry as something was thrown out. Giotto had only a second to see messy brown hair to know it was Tsuna. "Tsuna!" he couldn't move from the spot for some reason, his intuition was telling him not to move.
Tsuna skidded on his back first before rolling on his stomach, not moving. The first generation guardians didn't move as the black haired boy stepped out, walking towards Tsuna.
He's going to get killed.
That was the only thought Giotto had until he saw Tsuna get up, unhurt. His shocked expression was no match for Lampo's, his jaw had fallen all the way to the ground. Tsuna, with his back towards them was in Hyper mode, he didn't want to risk using his flames and he didn't want to show his face, which was a huge giveaway.
"Hibari-san," Tsuna said in a low tone. Hibari raised his tonfas. "I know your annoyed our- your" Tsuna corrected, Hibari didn't like when he said 'our' "condition, but please. We can go back when were done so please?" Tsuna begged, hoping that Hibari would hide his weapons now. Sadly, Hibari didn't comply so Tsuna had no choice but to fight him.
They charged at each others and began exchanging blows, it was so fast that even G couldn't believe that such a scrawny boy was that strong. Hibari doubled his speed and so did Tsuna, it was getting too hard to attack him now, he has no choice but be on defense. Hibari saw this and immediately attacked an opening to Tsuna's left side. Tsuna skidded backwards and fell on one knee, he then went out of Hyper mode with a triumphant smirk on his face. That's right, he got him.
Hibari's eyes widened as he dropped on one knee, he held his side and looked at Tsuna, who suffered more damage than he did. Tsuna panted, it cost so much just too even bring Hibari down, let alone on one knee. Over the years Hibari was progressing as much as his future self achieved, Tsuna had done the same. Polishing his hand to hand combat skills (Reborn sent assassins everyday). So it was safe to say he can hold his own against his Cloud Guardian.
"Hn." Was all Hibari said as he hid his weapons away and stood up with a look of indifference. Tsuna smiled weakly, not even noticing the presence of his great-great-great-great grandfather that was standing a few feet away from him, looks like he forgot about them. Hibari narrowed his eyes as his gaze settled on Alaude.
Gokudera and Yamamoto ran to Tsuna's side with worried looks on their faces.
"Gokudera-kun? Yamamoto-kun? … Hibari-san? What are you all looking at?" Tsuna asked, confused. He still wasn't looking behind him.
"Jyuddaime…" Gokudera started but couldn't say anything. They expected running into the First Generation but not like this. Gokudera was speechless… what can he say towards his boss' ancestor?
Tsuna blinked. Yamamoto quietly turned him around and Tsuna's face went deathly pale.
Vongola Primo was just… staring. Waaaaay to much for his comfort. Tsuna gulped.
Giotto was just… blown away. Even though Tsuna had his back against them, he perfectly saw that he was an experienced fighter, not only him but his friends as well… that creepily resembled his guardians.
He seemed so innocent when he first met him, please don't tell him that this child belonged in the mafia. The reason that Tsuna was even related to the mafia was because he was related to Giotto, but of course Giotto didn't know that.
Now G was trying to think sensibly, now… he had never slept with any woman, let alone when he was drunk. He was also sure that Asari, especially Alaude, who would never do such a thing, as to have an… an illegitimate child, which was just ridiculous. This is just… too freaky.
"Er…" Tsuna cleared his throat nervously. Why was it always up to him to say anything?
Deamon narrowed his eyes at him, which made Tsuna flinch.
Deamon was sure these kids are in the mafia. Who else would do this much damage? He already saw it with his own eyes and that hostile aura coming out of the black haired boy, which he hate to admit, was on par with Alaude, even the looks.
"Primo, it seems these children are not what they appear to be." Deamon said. The other guardians looked uneasily at each other, except Alaude that was having a silent death glare match with the black haired child.
Giotto stayed quiet. Tsuna had saved G and had even almost died from it. He could tell he was a nice child but he wasn't so sure on the others… he even wondered if they were normal.
The spiky black-haired boy that resembled Asari was a swordsman… er… swordchild? That didn't sound right.
The silver haired one which he distinctively remembered calling Tsuna 'Jyuddaime', meaning tenth in Japanese (they just had to learn Japanese, for Asari's sake), meant he was very loyal… and it also meant that Tsuna must be some kind of… heir?
The last one… the one who looks exactly like Alaude, save the hair and eyes, even had the same killing streak in him. Giotto almost shivered from thinking about it.
"I suggest we take them in for questioning." Deamon said.
"I… supposed your right Deamon." Giotto said unwillingly, however he was sure that the black haired one wouldn't come so easily.
"Wait!" Tsuna said desperately. He still needed to find the rest.
Giotto looked at him. He was doubting him but he should at least listen to the boy. Tsuna gulped nervously, where should he start? Introduction would be nice.
"Um… these are my friends," he started. The adults raised their eyebrows but didn't say anything more.
"Hello there! I'm Yamamoto Takeshi… wow! You really look like Tsuna!" Yamamoto said cheerfully with a grin. Tsuna laughed nervously. Giotto was really surprised to hear that, which brought him back to his thoughts on adopting Tsuna.
"Gokudera Hayato." Gokudera grunted, making it sound he didn't really care to introduce himself.
"Give some respect will you brat?" G told him.
Gokudera just glared at him and muttered under his breath somewhere around the words "Pink." A vein popped in G's head. Freaking brat was laughing at his hair!
Seeing that Hibari won't talk, Yamamoto spoke up, much to Tsuna's relief. "That guy over there is Hibari Kyoya." He said, folding his arms behind his head with a grin. Hibari's finger twitched.
"Um… Primo…" Tsuna called out weakly.
"I'm sorry Tsuna but you will have to come with us, whether you like it or not." Giotto said sternly. He could already feel Alaude itching up just to restrain the boy called Hibari.
Tsuna look disheartened.
"We need to find the others Jyuddaime." Gokdera said, reminding him. Tsuna nodded.
"What others?" Deamon asked.
"Your other friends I suppose?" Asari asked Yamamoto, who nodded in reply.
Tsuna was about to open his mouth when they heard screams… that were oddly familiar.
"-"
Tsuna turned towards the mountain where he saw a dust cloud descending at top speed heading towards them. The others looked that way also.
"What the hell is that?" G asked as he looked, squinting his eyes trying to see.
Tsuna sweat dropped, this was going somewhere…
"WWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-"
Yes, yes it was very familiar. It didn't take Tsuna a long time to figure out who it was.
"DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
Hibari looked the other way when Alaude broke eye contact. It irritated him to hear that voice.
"HEEIIII!" Tsuna screamed as the dust cloud cleared. At first he thought it was Ryohei running, then he saw leather straps that bind him to something, and that something was big… what was Ryohei Sasagwa attached to? A wagon… ridden by three other persons. Usually, when you see a cartwheel, it's usually pulled by a horse or a donkey, not a person, let alone a child.
Some of the First Generation had their mouths open with a WTF? expressions on their faces.
It didn't look like Ryohei was stopping soon… and it was heading towards them.
"LAWN HEAD! SLOW DOWN!" Gokudera shouted but to avail.
"I CAN'T STOP TO THE EXTREME OCTOPUS HEAD!" Ryohei shouted. Two figures, namely Chrome and Mukuro jumped out, leaving Lambo behind.
"WATCH OUT TO THE EXTREME!"
Giotto grabbed Tsuna and dived out of the way, G swung Gokudera over his shoulder "Hey!" Gokudera protested but G ignored him as he jumped out of harms way, Asari took Yamamoto by the scruff of his collar and pulled him back, Deamon disappeared in mist, and Knuckle and Lampo jumped aside, leaving Alaude and Hibari standing.
"Hibari-san!" Tsuna shouted from beneath Giotto. Giotto looked at his cloud guardian, who seemed like he had no intention to move.
Just as they were about to collide, Hibari jumped and swung his tonfa on the leather reins, cutting them therefore releasing Ryohei. He then kicked Lambo out and jumped off as the cart, without nothing to lead it, smashed into a house.
As for Alaude, Ryhoei came running towards him. He didn't need to waste any effort so he stood aside and tripped him, using a bit of debris which he kicked in front of Ryohei.
Ryohei rolled down. They watched as the hyper active kid roll into a house with a slam, his legs above him in the most unusual manner.
"Onii-san! Are you okay?" Tsuna asked as he got up and ran towards him. Ryohei gave him a victory sign and said, "That was extremely extreme!" he shouted.
Gokudera's eye twitched in annoyance. "What the hell turf top! You almost ran us over!" he shouted. Ryohei got up. "What was that octopus head?"
"You heard me… any why in all blazes where you strapped to a wagon?" Gokudera said with dynamite in his hands. Tsuna quickly forced Gokudera's hands down, whispering
"Gokudera-kun! They're coming, quick! Hide your bombs!"
"Yes Jyuddaime!" Gokudera said as he hastily put away his bombs just in time as Primo loomed over them.
"Are you hurt?" Giotto asked Ryohei.
Ryohei thumped his chest proudly, "A real man never turns!" he said. Giotto had no idea why he said that.
"So you ran in a freaking straight line without turning?" Gokudera asked, his anger slowly building.
"That's right octopus head!" Ryohei said, not understanding why Gokudera was on a short fuse.
"Is your brain really that small?" Gokudera growled.
And here it goes again… Tsuna thought wearily.
"Calm down now you two, the good thing is we're all together and safe now." Yamamoto said cheerfully. Gokudera scowled at him. Ryohei nodded in agreement.
Giotto smiled. They were so much like his own Guardians, except they were more lively… and violent.
In the distance, Lambo was crying. Tsuna went to comfort him, followed by the bickering trio.
"That really hurt!" Lambo complained. Being kicked out by Hibari was not the best moment he had ever experienced.
Tsuna tried to calm him down while Hibari stood a bit farther away from them with his arms crossed.
While the children were having their reunion, the adults regrouped.
"They must be tired, we should just take them back." Knuckle said although he highly doubted it seeing as some of the kids had enough energy to bicker and the idea of taking them back to Vongola mansion is as equal to asking for a renovation.
"I say we just leave them here. I don't like kids, especially the crying one." Lampo said as he looked towards Lambo.
"We can't leave them here, they're just kids." Asari said, smiling with a worried look in his eyes.
"Kids who looks exactly like us and also violent?" Deamon said out of nowhere as he appeared beside Lampo, who shrieked in surprise like the coward he is.
Violent? Not all of them. G thought to himself.
"At least there's not one of them that looks like you." G said. Deamon frowned, disappointed, he was actually looking forward to his little double.
"HEEEEEEIIIIIII! MUKURO! CHROME!" Tsuna said suddenly as Mukuro stepped out of the mist with Chrome behind him. It really freaks him out when his Mist Guardians does that.
Ah… too soon to have said that G.
The adults looked back at the children and saw another edition to the six. Two more appeared… a boy and a girl…with the most unusual hairstyles ever. At least the pineapple hairstyle was better than Deamon's, G snickered until the boy with the pineapple hair turned his head, giving them a full look of his face.
"Oh… so the boy is named Mukuro?" Deamon laughed. The look on the faces of the others, except Alaude, was priceless. G wondered if this is a sign that if they will have children that would be just like them. Goodness some of them prayed that another Deamon Spade won't be born but no… standing in front of them was his look-alike and after getting to know Hibari a little they had started thinking what kind of personality Mukuro has. Even if he looked just like Deamon, Giotto prayed in his heart that this boy was much more… compassionate.
Tsuna sighed in relief.
"I'm really glad you two are fine." He said.
"Kufufufu~ if you remain soft like that Sawada Tsunayoshi you'll be taken easily advantage off by your enemies." Mukuro said. Giotto's ears perked up.
"What was that pineapple head?" Gokudera said to him. Mukuro narrowed his eyes. He did not like people mentioning his hairstyle is shaped like a pineapple.
"Boss…" Chrome said to Tsuna. Little girl with the eye patch said what?
Giotto exchanged a glance with Alaude, who had a strange glint in his eyes. Even though they were just kids… it still didn't leave out the fact that they may be a danger to them.
"I'm glad you guys are fine but what happened?" Tsuna asked. How the hell did onii-san ended like that?
Mukuro ignored Gokudera and turned towards Tsuna.
"It extremely started like this Sawada." Ryohei said, taking a notebook and a pencil out, then he started to draw.
~ Flashback ~
"How long do we have to keep walking? My feet hurt." Lambo whined from the back.
After Mukuro said that they would go down the mountain, they've been walking ever since without no breaks. For Lambo, it felt like hours had passed when in truth, its only been a couple of minutes and the town wasn't that far and they were really going at a fast pace.
They came across a dirt path when a local farmer was riding his wagon passed by. Ryohei ran in front of him, his arms outstretched as the wagon came to a halt.
"Whatdya think your doing boy? Get outta the way!" the farmer said.
"Please wait to the extreme old man!" Ryohei said and pointed down to the burning town below.
"Can you take us there?"
"Yes, please do." Lambo panted behind him, followed by Chrome. It would be faster than walking.
The old farmer looked back and forth, his face going into a dark shade of red.
"What's the matter with you boy?" he snarled. "Are you asking for a death wish? " Children were getting stupider by the minute.
"Kufufufu." Mukuro laughed quietly as he appeared.
The old farmer went white as the milk of his cows.
"D-D-D-DEMON!" he started shrieking, jumping on to his donkey in such a way that was ever possible and ran away.
Oh god… another Deamon Spade! Everyone around here knew better than to hang around when that man is within your presence. Even the sight of him makes children cry back to their mothers!
The four children watched as the old man disappeared on his donkey, not knowing what to say.
"How rude." Mukuro said after a while with a frown.
Lambo fell on his but and started to whine.
"I don't want to walk anymore!" he said.
Mukuro's hand twitched, he had the urge to stab Lambo.
Ryohei examined the leather straps.
"Let's keep on moving then, we might reach it by dusk." Mukuro said until he saw Ryohei was tangled in the leather straps.
"Can't… get… this… off..." Ryohei said, frustrated as he struggled, dragging the wagon dangerously down the slope.
"Watch out!" Chrome gasped as she tried to pull it back as it slowly went down. But it was much heavier than her so she found herself being yanked forward and into the wagon. Lambo stood up.
"Wait up!" Lambo said as he ran, trying to jump on.
"Mukuro-sama!" Chrom cried as it started to gain speed.
"You guys are being extremely heavy!" Ryohei said as he tried to prevent it from moving any further, but the ground was soft. Finally he gave up as his feet gave way and he started to run.
Mukuro had no choice but to go along the ride. With ease, he surpassed Lambo.
"Wait for me!" Lambo cried.
As Mukuro jumped on the wagon, he grabbed Lambo by the shirt and threw him in, then he sat down next to Chrome.
It was no use stopping it if Ryohei wanted to get run over, so he ran forward without stopping.
~ End of Flashback ~
"And that's how it was." Ryohei said as he held the badly drawn version of them on the wagon to them. Tsuna just gaped at him. Seriously?
The whole time the adults were eavesdropping, oh… they know why the farmer must have acted that way. Several of them, namely Giotto, Asari, Knuckle and Lampo looked at Deamon Spade.
"Yes? Is there something on my face?" Deamon asked.
G snorted. The only reason why the farmer ran away was because your face was planted on the kid! He thought, he wouldn't say that out loud though. Giotto sighed. If there was one of them that was feared the most, it was Deamon Spade, Alaude was feared and awed, unlike Deamon which was just feared.
Giotto sighed just as Alaude tapped his foot impatiently. He wanted to get these kids under surveillance now. Knowing that he shouldn't waste any time longer, Giotto walked forward with his Guardians following.
The children became silent as the adults approached them. Hibari took one look at them and began walking away when someone had dare blocked his path.
Who dares to block Hibari Kyoya's path? It was none other than Alaude of course. The two looked at each other.
"Move." Hibari said as he took out his tonfa.
Alaude didn't reply but he did take out his handcuffs. One minute they were just standing there, the next, Alaude had Hibari disarmed with his hands behind his back. As if the tenth generation had never seen before, the look of shock that came across Hibari's face was the most memorable thing they could ever remember from this experience. Alaude then took Hibari under his arm. This was really too much.
Tsuna coughed, his face reddening from laughter that was building inside of him. God knows what would happen to them if Hibari caught him laughing… he didn't want to die yet! Lambo was laughing out loud with Ryohei's arm linked over his shoulders for support as he laughed.
Gokudera was down on the ground, clutching his stomach while laughing. Yamamoto had covered his mouth and every now and then would let out a cough as he tried to keep himself composed, he knew the dangers of the prefect very well. Chrome tried her best not to giggle so she cleared her throat and looked down on her feet unlike Mukuro with the biggest smirk on his face.
Hibari composed himself as his eyes darkened drastically into a murderous glare that could probably set something on fire if possible. Oh… the way he looked at them it was as if he was saying,
"I'll kill you all when were done with this."
At least he still prioritized the mission.
The First Generation was genuinely amused but unlike the children, they didn't burst out laughing. Giotto coughed which made Tsuna look up at him.
"Let's go."
:/ not satisfied at all… I wanted to write more but school is approaching fast and I need to get my sleeping habits in order XD
I am happy though that this was longer than the others :D
