_o_oo_ooo_o_oo_ooo_o
Hibari glanced sharply at the brunette walking silently beside him. Recently, Tsuna had turned interesting, and the bounty hunter had to admit that he liked the expression on the brown-haired herbivore's face. It made Tsuna looked more confident and strong...
"Herbivore, what's going on?" Hibari decided to question Tsuna, who was still walking stiffly beside him, mumbling to herself. Tsuna made no movement to answer her cloud guardian. She was too occupied with being both angry and confused.
So the Black Order was trying to hide the truth…
Allen, Lenalee and Lavi were all acting?
Part of her was furious with her 'friends' for betraying her, part of her was disappointed and hurt.
Hibari frowned when he realized that the smaller teen was not going to answer him. He was about to raise his tonfas to punish the rude herbivore when he suddenly saw the tears rolling down Tsuna's cheek.
The raven-haired exorcist froze and stared coldly at his boss, a weird feeling rising in his chest.
"Weakling…" Tsuna snapped out of her thoughts and looked disapprovingly at the taller teenager.
"What, I'm not weak!" Tsuna cried, attempting to kick Hibari on the ankle only for the latter to avoid the attack easily.
"You are crying, men don't cry easily." Hibari calmly stated, trying to keep his cool as he watched more tears rolled down.
"But I am a …"
The said brown-eyed girl sniffed and smiled a little as Hibari walked away, pretending not to hear Tsuna's last sentence.
Tsuna grinned to herself and nodded. That was right. She was supposed to be a male, not a weak girl. She had to continue to work hard.
One day, she will get the truth.
_dinner_
The atmosphere was very tense that night during dinner as Tsuna kept her eyes on her bowl all the while, not looking up to meet anyone's eyes.
Yamamoto just kept smiling and laughing at Lavi's failed jokes, but he kept a concerned eye on the Vongola heir.
Gokudera was growling at every person he saw, excepting for Tsuna. Hibari was napping at some random place while Ryohei went boxing.
Allen and Lenalee remained slightly joyful, but both were still bothered about by Komui's words.
Kanda narrowed his eyes as he glanced suspiciously at Tsuna. The swordsman thought that Tsuna seemed odd as the brunette was behaving strangely for some time.
The female exorcist was not making sense at all.
Before dinner, Kanda had asked Tsuna curtly what was going on, but the girl just stared blankly at him and walked away, totally ignoring him. It was obvious that the girl was not in her normal self.
"Hey, Yu, why are you glaring at Tsuna?" Lavi whispered cheekily into the blue-haired exorcist's ear. Kanda snapped his head around and snarled.
"Don't call me that!" He stood up and dragged Lavi away.
"Kanda is sure sociable this few days! He actually agreed to eat with us!" Lenalee commented cheerfully before taking a bite from her food. The others nodded, except for Tsuna, whose focus was still on here noodles, her mind somewhere else.
_reborn_
Reborn pulled at his fedora, hidden in a secret corner as he watched his brown-haired student. Tsuna was too distracted. The tutor knew that Tsuna had decided to destroy Black Order…
Reborn sighed and straightened his suit. That could not go on. He was supposed to train Tsuna into a capable boss for Vongola as that was his sole purpose, no matter what the Earl wanted him to do.
It was time to confront the Earl.
It was time to reveal the truth, to reveal the history between Vongola and Black Order to Tsuna.
He had disappeared from Tsuna for a reason. He needed to observe more, as well as to meet the Earl without Tsuna knowing.
Hence, he could only rely on those Vongola guardians…
With a smirk, Reborn set off swiftly.
_earl_
"Why are you so happy, Earl?" someone from the Noah family asked curiously. The Earl was dancing around happily, humming a tune.
"My plan is working! 14th will soon be ours!" The Earl cheered as he turned several times.
"What about that Vongola girl?"
The Earl grinned wickedly. "What about her? She is just a tool to help us get the 14th back! She is just a pawn, like her dumb family members! The Ninth was a fool, so is the Tenth!" he exclaimed.
Mukuro widened his eyes at what he heard. He had grown attached to the Vongola Tenth and really wanted to help her. Without him realizing it, he cared for her.
What did the Earl actually meant? Will he discard Tsuna soon?
The illusionist wanted to clear his confusion and doubts with the Earl when Reborn abruptly arrived, a dangerous aura emitting from the tall man. The black-haired man had business with the Earl.
Mukuro snickered and faded away. He was about to watch a good show…
"So you are planning to throw her away like a toy after using her." Reborn stated, his eyes locking with the Earl's. There was no way he would allow the Vongola's last (who knows) heir to be used and hurt. He was after all, the Vongola Ninth most trusted man.
"Oh? Are you planning to go against me, Mister Reborn?" the Earl taunted as he sat down and sipped his tea. If Reborn refused to help him, he still have Mukuro to take the job…however, it would be a waste…
Reborn chuckled confidently and shook his head, suddenly pointing his gun at the Earl. The other Noah members instantly stiffened, but the Earl continued drinking his tea, fairly relaxed.
"Are you threatening me? You know that my sole purpose is to train Tsuna." Reborn sneered, his grip on his gun tightening. The Earl did not know how powerful Reborn was, how powerful and dangerous Tsuna could be.
"Even if you tell her about my plan, will she believe you?" the Earl laughed as he suddenly glared coldly at Reborn.
"Don't forget, her hate for the Black Order is increasing very minute!" With that, the fat man disappeared into thin air, along with his family members.
Reborn lowered his gun and frowned. The Earl was right, Tsuna was burning with anger. She would not truly trust anyone…
Mukuro reappeared in front of the tutor, laughing creepily. "Was it true?" Mukuro asked as he ran a hand through his hair. He needed to confirm that what the Earl said was true.
He wanted to help Tsunayoshi.
Reborn's silence was enough to confirm the fact that the Noah and Earl were using Tsuna to get to their main goal-Allen.
"I know someone who may be able to help you…" Mukuro suggested, tapping his chin thoughtfully as Reborn raised an eyebrow.
"You are helping us?" Reborn asked cautiously. He still did not trust the purple-haired teen. It could be part of the Earl's plan too. Reborn had to be cautious.
"No, I'm helping her." Mukuro declared as he swung his weapon to and fro. Reborn narrowed his eyes, still mistrustful, but he could only believe the mist guardian for now.
"Kufufufu, I know someone who can help Tsuna release all her anger and sorrow…maybe that would help…"
