Bah! I'm having a rather hard time with the crossover fic but I'm doing my best! Stupid sister of mine keeps bothering me so I can't write as much as I used to :P
Anyway, here's chapter seven! :D
G was walking back to where Knuckle and the others are when he heard a loud crash and Lampo running out the place with his hands over his head. He caught him by the scruff and forced Lampo to look at him.
"What happened?" he asked.
"The kid called Hibari and Mukuro just suddenly went on a rampage!" Lampo said. After Knuckle had explained it to the other kids, the one called Hibari suddenly destroyed the chimney in the room. Mukuro rose up from the couch and had dangerously tried to slash Knuckle's face if he hadn't blocked it just in time with his fists.
G let go of Lampo and ran into the room with Lampo hesitantly following. As much as he wanted to live from the hands of the mini Alaude and Deamon, he was awfully curious if G would live. G stopped and turned around.
"Go find Alaude and Deamon!" he ordered before leaving Lampo alone on his spot, a look of horror on his face. This was even worse than those kids! As another crash, and this time it sounded nearer, Lampo had made a run for it, changing his mind involuntarily.
G halted in his steps as he saw the doors destroyed and shouting from inside the room.
"HIBARI! STOP THIS RIGHT NOW!" he heard and saw the kid with white hair restraining Hibari. Apparently that wasn't enough as Hibari flung Ryohei across the room while making a hole in the process. Chrome and Lambo were by the corner of the room, a good distance away from the rampaging prefect. Mukuro and Knuckle weren't around… probably in another room since there were two holes in the room. G stood there, dumbstruck at the destruction before him.
It wasn't like they hadn't expected this, which they did it's just that he couldn't believe the similarities between the prefect and the man that was standing beside him which he didn't noticed until Lampo tugged on his sleeve.
Snapping out of his mind he looked around and froze as he saw Alaude with a displeased look on his face. A look which was for parents when they see their child misbehaving but G wasn't going to say that, he was too young to have his face pummeled beyond repair.
"TO THE EXTREME!" Ryohei shouted as he charged through the wall in into Hibari like a bull. Hibari used both of the end his tonfas to block him but was slowly being pushed back. Aiming a kick which was blocked by Ryohei, he scowled darkly.
From the other hole, black smoke had started to leak into the room and Knuckle came running out, coughing.
"The meeting room is on fire!" he said as he ran in front of them, his clothes slightly singed from the fire.
"What happened?" G demanded.
"The kid called Mukuro… he's tough as that Hibari." He grunted as he flexed his arm. Earlier, he had been stabbed in the arm by the butt of the staff. Caught him off guard it did.
Momentarily forgetting the two who were in a fierce battle, Alaude stepped up and had separated the two by pulling them apart roughly. Letting go for a moment, he took out his handcuffs and cuffed Hibari to himself. Hibari's eyes widened by a fraction before he aimed a kick to the face which Alaude easily evaded.
"Tch." Hibari said and brought down his tonfa down on their conjoined arms. Alaude grabbed his hand, halting his movements and stared coldly at him. His icy blue eyes piercing against the abyss of darkness that was Hibari.
"Behave." He said. As if one word would make Hibari Kyoya back down he was wrong.
"I don't listen to herbivores." Hibari growled menacingly. He had recognized Alaude more than just a herbivore but right now he wasn't feeling it all up to it. In this body of twelve, it had seemed to have shortened his temper and more than that, his opinions of others.
Alaude brought his face closer in a silent glare.
"Behave or I will confiscate your toys." Alaude said quietly, but threateningly. Hibari glared right back without answering. Calling his weapons toys? He'll show him his toy then. His left tonfa's end hatch opened and the chain fell down. He threw the chain up over the hanging chandelier from above then down before skillfully having it wrapped around Alaude's leg. With one powerful pull, he had Alaude with the same humiliating expression as he did earlier today.
The first generation could just stand there, speechless as their most strongest guardian had been owned. Hibari smirked, payback was so fun.
Alaude wasn't going to let this slip as he used his weight and practically broke the chandelier off the ceiling. Getting down on his feet he pulled Hibari towards him as the chandelier fell down, making a loud crash as it did so.
"What's going on here?" Asari asked as he came into the room with Gokudera and Yamamoto, now all cleaned up.
"Ah! Hibari! What do you think your doing?" Gokudera said as he marched towards them, only to be held back by G.
"Stand down kid, can't you see it would be a bad idea to just walk over to them casually?" G said with a worried look on his face. If this goes on… dinner might be later than he thought.
Gokudera did as he was told, much to his frustration, and pointed to where Knuckle had come out earlier. "What the hell pineapple head!"
From the hole Mukuro stepped out with Deamon following him from behind. Either of the two not happy with each other's company.
"Deamon, when did you get here?" G asked. He didn't see him, only Alaude.
Deamon had a frown on his face when he answered, "You should get your eyes checked G, I was here the whole time."
"I refuse to be taken care of by this pedophile." Mukuro said as he pointed his trident towards Deamon. Then two then shared a passionate glare with each other, Gokudera however, wasn't happy at all. No, he was pissed off.
"FIRE!" he shouted which Knuckle finally remembered.
"I'll go and get it extinguished!" he said and ran off. Gokudera face palmed himself. Can't they be more serious? They're adults for crying out loud! Forgetting all about the fire… are they really the first generation?
Actually, this was a regular occurrence in Vongola Mansion. Eventually, something had to be blown up or set on fire twice a week… it may even be doubled now that the tenth generation was here. Not their fault, assassins were sent occasionally.
~Meanwhile~
"Honestly, what are they doing?" Giotto muttered as the floor shook for a moment. For some reason, he didn't want to find out. Not now at least.
Tsuna was lying down on the bed, still out-cold. Giotto sighed, what was he thinking? He was still in his twenties for god's sake, what does he know of taking care of a child? While Giotto was engrossed in his thoughts, Tsuna stirred from his sleep.
"Ugh…" Giotto went to his side.
"Gokudera-kun….I had a nightmare…" Tsuna grumbled with his arms covering his face, thinking he was at home on his comfy bed, knocked out by Reborn's usual Leon hammer then waking up around to see his friends around him. Giotto remained silent, curious as to what he was talking about. Primo asked me if he can be my new father... can that be even considered as a nightmare? to me, it does. Tsuna thought.
Tsuna sat up with his eyes closed and buried his head in his knees, his stomach grumbling. Tsuna let out a small chuckle, Giotto smiled.
"I wonder what mama made for dinner, are you guys staying over again? Gokudera…kun…" Tsuna faced Giotto with wide eyes. He was… dreaming. His eyebrows twitched with his mouth slacking.
"Pri…Primo-san…" he said weakly. How embarrassing! This was worst than fainting! He could feel the blood rushing to his face.
"So-Sorry about earlier…" Giotto stopped him from speaking and smiled warmly.
"It's fine." He said and chuckled as Tsuna scratched his cheek awkwardly.
Giotto got up and picked Tsuna up, much to his embarrassment, and placed Tsuna on his shoulders. He already had him change his clothes earlier with the help of one of the maids. Vongola Primo, boss of the Vongola family, was actually having a hard time changing a child's clothes. What next? If he had a wife he was sure all he can do was open jars.
"Ah! Primo-" Tsuna started.
"Call me Dad." Giotto said cheekily. He was feeling kind of playful right now actually and he had already decided to take care of him. No matter what he was going to protect this child. Tsuna blushed and blushed even redder when his stomach grumbled.
Giotto laughed. "It's time for dinner, let's go now." he said and started to walk, causing Tsuna to cling on his head as he had almost fallen off.
Tsuna was still blushing when they walked down the corridor, until he had started to cough. His eyes watered as smoke filled his nostrils. Giotto immediately put him down and ran towards the room where the smoke came from with Tsuna following along.
"What's going on here?" Giotto demanded and was completely taken off guard.
The chandelier that the Castellano Family had give… ruined. The chimney destroyed… two holes in the wall?
"G-Giotto…" G said, startled by the sudden appearance. A shadow pass through Giotto's eyes as he looked at the damage. Asari and the others stepped back while Alaude and Hibari stopped in their motions. He could already feel it… the blood boiling up in anger. Just at that moment the fire was put out and Knuckle came into the room but stopped as he saw his boss.
Uh-oh…
Tsuna felt his intuition telling him to leave, and NOW. Motioning for Chrome and Lambo to come quickly, they did so. Hibari used this chance as to release himself from the handcuffs by picketing it while Alaude wasn't looking and slipped away. Mukuro quietly moved away and followed the others out off the room, just behind Gokudera and Yamamoto that had an urgent look on their faces.
Together, the tenth generation had managed to get away before Primo had erupted, his voice echoing down the hall.
"First the fountain… NOW THE SECOND FLOOR?"
~ Dinner ~
Even though they were actually teenagers, they couldn't help but fidget in their seats as they waited patiently for the food. A heavy intense air filling the room, Tsuna gulped as he sat on the far end surrounded by his own guardians, much like Primo's.
At least everyone was clean now.
Giotto had his head in his hands. All signs of his good mood completely wiped out, leaving a stress look on his face. G smiled sympathetically at him. It wasn't everyday Giotto would be mad with all of them or even be mad. There was this one time when Lampo had come into his office and had "supposedly" cleaned up only to have important documents discarded and had to be replaced, which took days meaning Giotto was even more behind than his usual workload.
Alaude, who knows what he was thinking but in Tsuna's opinion he was sulking, much like his own guardian, was leaning against his chair with his arms crossed. Tsuna heard from Chrome that Hibari was fighting with Alaude and was disappointed when it all ended, at least that was what she had assumed. Tsuna looked down at the silverware before him. Trying to find them interesting but couldn't find it as interesting as he thought… the air was so intense it felt like it would crush him.
Then finally, the food came. Their mouths literally watered at the sight and Tsuna had to wipe his mouth when he almost drooled at the sight. Most of them haven't eaten at all.
"It looks so delicious!" Yamamoto said as he picked up his fork.
"Mind your manners Baseball-nut!" Gokudera hissed before turning to smile at Tsuna. "This looks really good, right Jyuddaime?"
Tsuna nodded, feeling the heavy atmosphere from their side of the table lift.
"This is extremely tasty!" Ryohei commented as he swallowed it before chewing.
Hibari started to eat quietly, ignoring the rest.
"This is rather good, don't you think so Chrome?" Mukuro asked as he ate.
"Hai Mukuro-sama…" Chrome replied as she nibbled on her food.
Lambo ate with a bored expression.
"Maman's food tastes so much better." Lampo said, earning approval from the rest.
"Jyuddaime's mother's cooking is incomparable!" Gokudera said.
"You got that right, your mom's cooking is the best!" Yamamoto said which embarrassed Tsuna.
"Sawada's mom is extreme! But I still prefer Kyoko's cooking!" Ryohei said.
Tsuna smiled for once, talking about home made him feel sad a little but he knew he would be going home soon. He nodded.
The adults watched as the children were in their own little world and found themselves slightly getting drawn to them. Giotto sighed and smiled. Kids…
G gulped down his glass of wine, feeling relaxed. Asari smiled, it was so contagious. Lampo and Knuckle were eating with more enthusiasm.
Alaude ate quietly but he was relaxed just as the others were.
"Children… such a nuisance." Deamon said.
Mukuro heard and had launched a spoonful of sauce at his face. "Of course, that's what children are." he sneered.
"Mu-Mukuro-san…" Chrome whispered in worry as the whole table became quiet. Deamon grabbed a napkin and wiped his face. He had no idea why he even took interest in these brats in first place.
He glared at the child with the mismatched eyes.
"Pineapple-head."
"Melon head."
"Sadist."
"Pedophile."
G let out a low whistle. Kid sure got him on the last part.
They went on, throwing insults at each other to the point that they were throwing food. Giotto smiled apologetically, they were supposed to be role models for the younger generation.
Tsuna groaned. They were supposed to behave like good kids. Knuckle stood up suddenly.
"There are people who are starving out there and you waste these blessings from God?" he said with a scowl. Mukuro ignored him and when the Priest went on, he had enough and had projected a piece of roasted meat to Knuckle's face.
"Mukuro-!" Tsuna said suddenly getting up until Ryohei climbed up on the table and shouted with his fist full of mashed potato,
"FOOD CONFLICT!"
Like a signaling shot, war erupted on the table as food was being thrown back and forth between the first and tenth generation.
"HEEEIIIII!" Tsuna ducked as a chicken leg came flying his way.
"Get down!" G shouted as he pushed Giotto's head down as peas where shot at him. Funny, can peas be even be a substitute for bullets?
"I'll protect you Jyuddaime!" Gokudera said as he climbed in front of Tsuna with a plate in each of his hands.
" Take this brat!" G shouted and threw a plate of pasta at him. Gokudera smirked and threw his own pasta, which was now green.
"Tch." Gokudera said as his pasta collided with G's, instead of melting it rotted. Tsuna jumped out of his seat. "What was that Gokudera-kun?"
"I thought I should try out sis' technique but it looks like all I can do is rot it." Gokudera said, displeased. "Why would you want to do that?" Tsuna asked.
"HEY BRAT, DON'T LEAVE YOURSELF OPEN!" G shouted and threw a loaf of bread at Gokudera which knocked him off the table.
"Gokudera-kun!" Tsuna said as he ran to his side.
"Jyuddaime… forgive me…" he said dramatically like a soldier dying in the battle field. "Lawn head!" he called out. Ryohei went to his side and grasped Gokudera's outstretched hand with tears in his eyes. "Avenge…me." He said before going limp.
"Gokudera-kun!" Tsuna cried.
Ryohei stood up with shaking fists and said "AVENGE OCTOPUS HEAD!" and charged in with several plates in his hands which he began throwing like mad. Knuckle also began throwing his share and together, the two sun guardians showed a spectacular battle.
Alaude and Hibari were unfazed by the whole thing as they were still eating… even though the table was rattling. Lambo and Lampo had taken shelter under the table whilst Chrome was being protected by Mukuro as Deamon kept on throwing.
"This is just ridiculous…" Giotto said and turned around to see if Asari agreed with him.
"Asari don't you-" he spoke too soon as he saw that he and Yamamoto were battling… with silverware. Like ninjas fighting with kunais, these two were using spoons but both were covered with sauces and they were laughing. Giotto didn't notice that someone was approaching him until G shouted,
"Giotto look out!"
He turned around but was too late as Tsuna slid across the table while knocking down several things and shoved a plate of treacle tart on Giotto's face. Everybody stopped.
"That's for Gokudera-kun." Tsuna said softly at G. Gokudera sat up with wide eyes full of joy. Jyuddaime was doing this for him! Oh happy day!
Tsuna stood up and smiled. "We won then… dad." He said shocking everyone. He blinked and looked around. "Eh? Did I say something wrong?" he asked. He wanted to try it for himself and who knows how long they'll be here anyway? Having met them was already a big change but he was sure it can be restored.
The platter that clung on his face fell on the table with a clatter. Giotto, with outmost disbelief on his face, just stared at him. "You called me dad." He said breathlessly. Tsuna scratched the back of his head in embarrassment. "I guess I did." He said weakly. Everything seemed to be going all too fast… but it was fine, he was used to being pressured by time anyway.
"JYUDDAIME WE WON!" Gokudera said and knocked Tsuna down with a bear hug. The younger ones cheered
"HEEIII! Gokudera-kun!"
"Who said you won?" G scowled. Standing up straight Gokudera glared at him in the eye.
"We got your boss first so we win." Gokudera said as he crossed his arms with a smug look on his face.
Damnit, that brat got him so that means… they looked at Tsuna who flinched at their gazes.
"He's your boss?" G said with a laugh which earned a kick from Gokudera on the shins, leaving G hopping on one foot.
"Damn right he is!" Gokudera said proudly.
"Since when did kids swear?" G muttered.
Tsuna smiled as he saw his guardians getting along well until he felt a tap on his shoulder to see Hibari and Alaude glaring at him, their clothes covered with stains. Apparently, when Tsuna had pulled his little stunt back there, he seemed to have knocked their plates over while on the way.
"Hi-Hibari-san…" Tsuna stuttered. Oh crap... this is bad... this is really really bad.
"Herbivore…" Hibari growled.
"HEEEIII! DON'T BITE ME TO DEATH!" Tsuna screamed and ran with Hibari chasing after him. Among the rest of them, Tsuna was the fastest runner. He did run around a lot when he was running away… getting shot by the dying will bullets… running away from Hibari… dodging real bullets… running away from Hibari… and so on.
Tsuna was lucky enough when Giotto had suddenly picked him up. "It's time for bed okay?" Giotto said out loud.
"Da-Da-Dad…" Tsuna said as he pointed shakily behind him. Giotto looked around, wishing he didn't as he was face to face with Alaude with his handcuffs out. "As his parent you will take responsibility." He said coldly.
Giotto smiled and took a step back. "As much as I would like that I have to go now…" he felt something hard against the back of his knee and saw it was Hibari. These two were fighting earlier… now they were ganging up?
"We're doomed!" Tsuna wailed.
"G! Cover for me!" Giotto shouted suddenly and jumped over the table and made a mad dash towards the doors.
"Why is it always me?" G muttered to himself.
Hibari and Alaude were going to go after if they had not been blocked by the dual storm and rain guardians.
"Sorry Alaude but it really is late." Asari said, trying to convince him to drop his boss hunt.
"C'mon Hibari, you can still do this tomorrow. Aren't you tired at all?" Yamamoto asked.
"Move aside." They said simultaneously which seemed to have a scary effect.
"Kufufu~ Hibari Kyoya, I'm sure that if you stay up way pass your bedtime you'll be awfully cranky tomorrow." Mukuro smirked. Hibari scowled darkly.
"That's right Hibari! We need extreme sleep for an extreme day for tomorrow!" Ryohei said as he casually swung his arm around Hibari. If there was one thing, he hated crowding and right now, he lost his interest in finding the Vongola bosses and biting them to death because of some perverted pineapple head and annoying boxer who he can't shake off.
"Hn." Was all he said and walked right pass them to his room. Gokudera sighed in relief, one down, one more to go.
"Let's just go now Alaude, we still have work to finish." G said. Alaude didn't answer until Knuckle stepped forward who he knew was going to pester him also as the child did to Hibari. Without a word he left for his room also. "I'll go make sure he's going to he's room." Knuckle said and ran after him, much to Alaude's irritation.
"We'll finish this later boy." Deamon said as he walked out also, leaving Mukuro to glare daggers behind his back. Lampo and Lambo crawled out from under.
"Is it over?" Lampo asked.
"Yeah it over, now get your butt out of there already." G said and looked at the mess. "You kids are a lot more trouble than your worth." He grumbled.
"Where did the young Vongolas go to?" Lambo asked as he looked around.
"That's right! Where's Jyuddaime?" Gokudera asked G. G sighed wearily, Giotto owed him one.
"It's been a long day. Don't worry, just go to your rooms and sleep I'm sure those two are fine." He said. He knew where Giotto was hiding of course, in the broom closet at the end of the hall. Alaude never goes in there after a little incident that happened when they first got this place but that was another story to be told next time.
As everyone left the dining room, G went to the closet and was right. Giotto was sitting inside asleep with Tsuna snoozing on his lap. It would be such a shame to wake them up right now but G was sure Giotto wouldn't welcome a sore back so he shook him gently by the shoulder.
"Oi, wake up." G said and waited as Giotto stirred awake.
"Are they gone?" Giotto asked as he yawned.
"Yeah, now come on and don't wake him up." G said as he pointed at Tsun who was sleeping, undisturbed. Giotto carefully stood up, making sure not to jerk Tsuna awake. After that they took him back to his room first and brought him to bed without waking him up. Tsuna snuggled under the covers. If that wasn't cute enough G was lucky that Giotto wasn't the type to dote.
"Dad? What's up with that?" G asked when they stepped out of the room. Giotto blushed and scratched his chin sheepishly. "I just… wanted to try it." He laughed and headed towards his own room.
"You're getting attached too easily Giotto." G said in a much more serious tone. Giotto bowed his head, "I know." It was a huge risk to get so attached to something he barely even knows but what's the hurt in all of this? Someday, soon.
G pursed his lips and stopped. "Buonanotte Giotto."
"Buonanotte G." with that they parted.
o3o and there you have it! Food conflict LOL I know, I was just happening to be thinking of the Ring Conflict when I wrote that XD
