Author: Okay I am a fan of Mukuro and all, just not a fan of his pairings. I'm more of a RebornXLambo, RebornXTsuna, TsunaXReborn, TsunaXHibari, HibariXTsuna fan. Oh yea, lovin the switch arounds.
Also I have no idea how often I'll get to update cuz I just started college and am looking for a job like crazy. I know I take forever to update anyway but still, I'll definitly try cuz I keep thinking about this unfinished story and it annoys me sooooo much. Oh, and I totally appreciate all the author alerts and story alerts, etc...but please please please review too...I love feedback both good and bad and it would help me write the story big time. Motivation please.
In absolute silence, the small group of boys continued down the path, following behind the ruthless Disciplinarian, Hibari Kyoya, but only to an extent. They followed at a distance in fear of the prefect suddenly deciding to take out his frustration on any poor passersby to get too close. He was visibly seething, his aura of doom had been floating above him in dark purple clouds for a while now. Even his loyal pet Hibird had begun to fall back with Yamamoto and Gokudera. It was truly a most dangerous day indeed to be walking about in the open in the Namimori area.
From above, a gliding Tsuna could also feel Hibari's seething anger. However, though it should have been his top concern being that his friends were down below and within Hibari's reach, their situation was not at the time on the top of his list. No, he had another concern, and at the moment it was worth more of his attention. It was during his song with Hibird down below. He could feel Hibird's sorrow, his pain, his very soul in a state of anguish, and it was then that Tsuna had made a very important decision.
Tsuna reminisced over his time with Hibari in which he too had once shared Hibird's feelings of a one-sided love. How could he blame the poor bird for feeling love for his master, who cared for him, and showed him a kindness that no one else had been allowed to lay eyes on? It was impossible to feel any anger, jealousy was only natural. So Tsuna had decided. If Hibird truly shared the same feelings toward Hibari as he did, then he would gladly aid him in relaying those feelings, no matter his jealousy.
Down below, though his anger was still flowing around him in waves, Hibari had come back to his senses enough to once again keep a close watch on his surroundings as he changed directions from his path to Tsuna's home to the road in which Reborn had disappeared. He noticed that they were nearing the shopping district, an idea for which Hibari cared little. The crowds of herbivores would only hinder his search. This is taking too damn long.
Nevertheless, Hibari went on, slowly coming to a stop just outside the shopping district.
"Oh, what's going on? Why'd we stop?" Hibari looked back to Yamamoto, not only disliking his and Gokudera's insistence on tagging along, but also disliking his comment.
The two watched as Hibari turned back to the front and glared into the crowd. They weren't surprised to see the crowd of people cringe in fear at Hibari's glare and clear a path for him, but were astonished at the speed that they had moved. In seconds the shopping district seemed almost deserted. Hibari smirked openly. From above a watching Tsuna simply sweat dropped.
As the crowds began to dissipate, Hibird came upon a sudden urge to run ahead of the rest of the boys. Hibari hesitated in stopping the boy, but seeing no harm in him staying within his sight, but ahead of him, he let Hibird go. Hibird couldn't explain this sensation if he could, all he understood was that he needed to gain some distance from the small group he was with and follow what he felt to be some sort of tug.
"Hibari Hibari!" Hibird suddenly looked up after hearing Tsuna chirp his name from above. It caught him off guard when he noticed that Tsuna was no longer in the air. Tsunayoshi?
"Hibari Hibari!" He looked forward at the sound of his name via Hibird, only to find that he too had suddenly been lost from sight.
"Juudaime!" "Hey Tsuna! Where'd ya go?"
The group of now three, tried to catch a glimpse of the missing Tsuna and Hibird, but to no avail. The two were nowhere to be seen.
Hibari, having calmed himself once more, refrained from his moment of herbivorous behavior and tried to feel for either Tsuna or Hibird's presence. What he did feel however, was not even close.
A sudden surge of demonic anger and roaring jealousy engulfed Hibari and his surroundings at the sudden feeling of a certain hated presence. That herbivore is here.
"Kufufu, you are correct little birdie."
The three looked up to find none other than a certain despised pineapple-haired mist guardian, looking smug as usual, at the top of a market building.
"You!Fucking Bastard! What have you done to Juudaime?"
"Kufufu. Oya, Oya, is that any way to talk to the person who holds all the pieces to the game?"
The boys just looked up at him in anger and frustration and confusion. Even Yamamoto had immediately tensed at the arrival of Rokudo Mukuro.
"Where is Tsunayoshi?" Says a very dangerous (yet super sexy XD) skylark.
There was a pause of silence between the enemies with Mukuro completely enjoying his psychic battle of glaring with Hibari.
"Hmmmmm, the young Vongola?" Mukuro chuckled lightly under his breath. "You mean this one?"
A cloud of mist formed around Mukuro, into which he disappeared, only to reappear on the ground with a special addition. There on the ground in an unconscious mess, lay Tsuna and Hibird with no signs of stirring.
"Herbivore. Prepare to be bitten to death."
"Hmmm, I wouldn't want it any other way."
Mukuro and Hibari lunged at each other, one in blood thirsty anger, the other in playfulness. Just as their weapons were about to clash, a shot rang out in the direction of the unconscious bodies. In a split second, Mukuro had once again disappeared into the mist and reappeared next to yet another addition to his party.
"Ciaso~su."
Yamamoto and Gokudera looked in shock at what had just transpired in front of them. Hibari continued to glare and then if possible, deepen said glare further.
"Hey kid, what you doin with this guy?" says a very confused Yamamoto.
"Well Yamamoto, to put it simply. Mukuro here became useful all of a sudden." Reborn smirked in Hibari's direction. Hibari held back a very open flinch. "Infant, you're working with the herbivore. Give back Tsunayoshi and Hibird or be bitten to death."
"Sorry Hibari...it can't always go your way."
Hibari lifted his tonfa, ready to charge.
"Kufufu...I don't think so, little birdie." As Hibari began his charge, the deserted shopping center began to shift and become distorted. This stopped Hibari in his tracks, bringing his attention to the changing surroundings and away from Reborn and Mukuro. "Kufufu." Mukuro's laugh resounded in the area. "Come and find us if you want your little pet and the young vongola back."
Slowly the area began to shift back to it's original form, leaving Hibari, Yamamoto, and Gokudera to realize they had been left alone with no enemy or Tsuna or Hibird in sight.
"Juudaieme!Dammit how did Mukuro even get here? He should be in Vendicare shouldn't he?"
"Gokudera calm down, Reborn won't let anything bad happen to Tsuna."
As the two younger guardians contemplated they're next move. They were completely oblivious to the growing danger beside them. Hibari, having been openly humiliated not once but three times today, was ready and willing to claim lives and drink blood any second.
"Silence you herbivores." Yamamoto and Gokudera looked to Hibari. "WHAT'D YOU SAY BASTARD?"
"I have no time to deal with your idiotic ranting and no use for weak fools who'll get in my way. Leave Tsunayoshi to me and go home."
Without another word, Hibari started toward his next destination. Seeing as how neither Reborn nor Mukuro left any inclination as to where they were going, the first best guess Hibari had was Kokuyo Land (it's called kokuyo land right? Correct me if I'm wrong."). Gokudera was seething as he tried desperately to get out of Yamamoto's grip, whom was holding him tight. "LET GO YAMAMOTO! I'M GONNA RIP THAT DAMN GUY'S HEAD OFF!" A very serious sounding Yamamoto responded, "Gokudera, hold on a sec. Maybe we should follow behind Hibari for a while. It's for Tsuna's sake right?" Yamamoto had a point, with unfortunately Gokudera had to agree with. "Fine."
The two boys followed behind Hibari at a distance, earning no response from the deadly prefect. Good deal.
Tsuna awoke to a dark room, a single window letting a bright light shine painfully into his line of vision. "Hmmm, where am I?" He brought himself up as far as he could, his muscles aching and his mouth and throat dry with thirst. In the midst of adjusting to his surroundings, Tsuna suddenly realizes, "Hey! I can talk normally again?" He grabs at his face, at his chest, at his hair, and looks at his hands. "I'm back in my body!"
"Of course you are, Dame-Tsuna." "Hiiiiee!" Tsuna squeaks as he's violently shoved against a wall. "Tsk, seems the switch bullet has finally worn off." "Reborn?" Tsuna can see the shadowed figure of his child tutor standing before him. "What's going on?" Reborn lowers his gaze, his fedora covering his eyes ( I know Tsuna can't see Reborn do this but he has to out of habit cuz it makes him look cool no matter what). "Well, Dame-Tsuna, this was originally supposed to be a lesson for you and a favor to Hibird, but it's become so much more. I've gone too far to stop now, and I fully intend to enjoy it. Isn't that right Mukuro?" Tsuna could see Reborn's shadowed figure look up, and a second figure appear beside him. "Kufufu, of course, Arcobaleno." Tsuna's eyes grew wide with shock. "Rokudo Mukuro?"
"Good to see ya, young Vongola." Tsuna can't believe what he's seeing. "Reborn! What's this all about? And why are you with Mukuro? What's Mukuro doing out of Vedicare?" Another harsh blow connected with Tsuna's body as he was again pushed against an unknown wall which lay behind him. "Dame-Tsuna, you must not be in your right mind right now. If you would just listen to your super intuition you'd recognize that Mukuro isn't really here and that once his time here is done, Chrome will take his place again." (pretty sure chrome is the first female character I've mentioned in this fanfic) "So his body is still in Vendicare." Tsuna said this with open relief, with a slight hint of sadness and disappointment, which earned a raised eyebrow look from Mukuro. "Oya, did you want to see me for real little Vongola?" he said in a teasing tone. Tsuna could feel his mist guardian come closer, causing the boy to flinch. In an attempt to change the subject, "Reborn?" "Hmm?" "Shoot me with that switch bullet. Switch me with Hibird again."
A moment of silence followed as Tsuna could do nothing but wait for his demon tutor to answer back, though he was somewhat relieved to realize that Mukuro had backed away somewhat. "Dame-Tsuna, you have the worst possible timing." Tsuna looked confused at the shadowed figure before him. "You've learned your lesson for the day haven't you?" Tsuna didn't quite understand, but he knew what he had to do. "Reborn, I made a promise to Hibird that I'd help him get his feelings out to Hibari. Switch me back."
Yet again, a moment of silence passed before them. "You're a millennium too early to be ordering me around like that Dame-Tsuna. I'll change you back when I damn well feel like it." Tsuna flinched at the language. With that both he and Reborn left through the one window in the room. "Kufufu, see ya later, little vongola." "Stay here for now, there's still some fun to be had before I switch you again."
Tsuna was now alone in the dark, the window his only source of light. "Hibari Hibari." Tsuna jumped at the sound, looking for the source. "Hibird? Where are you?" "Hibari Hibari." Feeling around in the dark, Tsuna found a little ball of fluff lying at his side. "Hibird?" He suddenly felt dejected. "I'm sorry Hibird." "Hibari Hibari." Tsuna picked up Hibird and held him in his palms. "I'm going to fix this, and your going to get your feelings out, I promise." "Hibari, Hibari...Midori Tanabiku, Namimori no, Dainaku Shounaku, Nami gaa ii"
Please give me ideas. I'm totally open to any. And Honestly it's getting a bit difficult to write, my creativity gauge is on low at the moment, darn math class..too many numbers..can't think straight.
