Me: Gomen, gomen, gomen! *does Gokudera's bow*

Enrico: That's… gotta hurt.

Enrico: Eeep! I'm out!

Me: Better… *wipes blood* Anyways, to the story.

Beautiful, Dark Wonders

Chapter 5

Tsuna chuckled darkly as he and his friends sat under a tree, eating their lunch. Kyoko, Ryohei and Yamamoto were in their happy jolly personality and talked to each other. Yamamoto noticed that the brunette seems very happy.

"Hey, Tsuna, why are you so happy?" Yamamoto asked, grabbing the Sasagawa siblings' attention.

"Did you watch the news last night?" Tsuna asked.

"Uh… no… I guess…" Yamamoto unsurely answered, then faced Ryohei. "How about you, Sempai?"

"I do not EXTREMELY remember!" Ryohei answered. "Kyoko, did you watch the EXTREME news?"

"Of course I did!" Kyoko answered happily then whispered, "He's here."

"Good one, Kyoko." Tsuna chuckled darkly. "I saw him yesterday but yes, that's in the news."

"Tsuna-kun, am I missing something?" Kyoko asked. "In the news I mean."

"Yes, yes you are missing something." Tsuna answered.

"Oh really?" Kyoko huffed. "What is it then?"

Tsuna chuckled and saw curiosity in his 3 friends' eyes. He sighed and pondered over the words he will say. Now, what can be the words fit so that nobody will be suspicious? The brunette's train of thought was interrupted by a slutty shout from Miki Yukiko. Yukiko clung to Yamamoto tightly.

"Takeshi-kun!" Yukiko shouted. "There you are."

"Ah, Asami, what brings you here?" Yamamoto asked.

"Oh, nothing, just want to be with my boyfriend." Yukiko answered, making the other girls glare at her.

"Huh? Is that so?" Yamamoto asked. "Well, how about later at Economics class?"

"Why?" Yukiko whined.

"Well, we have something important to discuss." Yamamoto said, motioning his hand to the others.

"How important is it?" Yukiko half complained and half asked.

"100% important. Very important that we might get killed if other than the 4 of us know." Yamamoto stated bluntly, earning a nod from Tsuna.

"K-Kyoko-chan, is that true?" Yukiko stuttered, turning to the younger Sasagawa.

"I'm afraid it is true, Yukiko-san." Kyoko agreed, nodding her head grimly. "So, I advise that you leave now."

Asami nodded and hurriedly left, but not before telling Yamamoto to see her at the Cooking Room. Tsuna narrowed his eyes to the retreating back of the yellow green-haired girl. Whenever he looks at her, the brunette can't bring himself to compare her to his deceased siblings, Asami and Miyagi.

"Tsu-kun, is something-" Kyoko was interrupted by Tsuna's glare he rarely used against them.

"Do not use that nickname or you'll face the worst punishment." Tsuna growled lowly, making Kyoko, Yamamoto and Ryohei flinch. "I'm going and do not follow me."

The brunette got up and walked inside the school grounds. Unknown to him, a skylark watched his every move.


Tsuna leaned against the wall of the school roof, not caring whether he skipped the next subject. A lone tear escaped his left eye as he zoned out his surroundings, making him unaware of someone's presence. It was only then that the brunette knew of that person's presence when he spoke.

"Omnivore, you just skipped class." The person informed. "You perfectly know that's against the rules.

"Hibari Kyoya…" Tsuna wiped his tear and smirked. "You just spoke long."

"Hn. Fight me." Hibari bluntly said, revealing his tonfas.

"The classes?" Tsuna asked, making Hibari abruptly stop.

"…Let it be." Hibari simply stated before moving, only to be stopped.

"How about if I say no?" Tsuna asked, still seating. "What will you do?"

"I'll force you to say yes." Hibari answered, back still turned away from Tsuna.

"How will that be?" Tsuna challenged, smirking.

"Negotiate." Hibari answered.

Least to say that Tsuna was surprised but smiled nonetheless, he knew this would happen anyways. The brunette already has a negotiation in hand after all. Tsuna smiled a bit wider and said,

"You win, I will be early and abide the rules." Tsuna negotiated, making Hibari nod. "I win… you will join my group whether you like it or not."

Hibari wordlessly raised his left eyebrow and nodded. The skylark prepared his tonfas and got into battle stance. On the other hand, Tsuna was impressed and stood up, getting ready for the fight. Not so soon, the two clashed with the blur of purple and orange.

Strangely, clashes of what seems to be metal were heard by the class having PE. Coincidentally, that class was 1-B and the one who heard happened to be Kensuke Mochida. Mochida looked up from his place on the bench where he was resting to the school roof.

"Hey, guys, do you hear that?" Mochida asked, pointing to the school roof.

"Which one?" Yukiko asked.

"Sounds of metal clashing on the roof top." Mochida answered. "Could it be Hibari Kyoya is fighting with someone?"

"Most probable." The PE teacher answered. "And that someone can be Kowai-Tsuna."

"Eh, how come?" Kurokawa Hana asked, a dear friend of Kyoko.

"You see, the air seems to be a little… joyous this time." The PE teacher answered. "And I can't see his mop of gravity-defying brown hair."

"You're right…" Hana agreed, not seeing the brunette anywhere.

Suddenly, a purple and orange flame lit up very bright from the school roof top. Alarmed, the class ran towards the school roof top, only to find it partially destroyed. Seriously, how long have they been fighting? The group diverted their attention to the two people in the middle of the destroyed roof. Everybody expected it was Kowai-Tsuna and Hibari Kyoya, but they did not expect them to have colored flames enveloping them.

"What the hell is this?" Mochida whispered.

"I do not know what…" Osamu whispered back.

"T-Tsuna-kun!" Kyoko shouted, making the said brunette turn.

Hibari took the momentum to strike Tsuna. The skylark drove his right tonfa right on the stomach of the brunette. Tsuna flew towards the door in and out the school roof. Once he crashed on the wall next to the door, making a huge crater, the colored flames died out Tsuna fell to the floor. He landed with a thud in a sitting position.

"Hibari Kyoya… I declare you the winner…" Tsuna announced, looking up to the skylark. "…Next time, it's my turn to win."

"We'll see." Hibari smirked. "Tsunayoshi, you are in-charge of cleaning this mess."

"Fine but we'll fight again next time." Tsuna said, whilst being cleaned off the bruises. "Same negotiation again."

"Alright, then." Hibari turned around and walked away. "Remember to abide rules till the next."

"I must see you early tomorrow, Tsunayoshi." Hibari added before completely walking away.

All Tsuna can do was sigh. It was his fault for negotiating like that. He was too confident of himself. As the crowd dispersed, Tsuna stared at the whole roof, partially destroyed. The brunette sighed once more and felt a tap on his right shoulder. Looking up, he saw Kyoko smiling beside him and Yamamoto leaning at the doo frame, also smiling.

"What are you doing here?" Tsuna asked coldly.

"Are you still mad because of the nickname?" Kyoko asked, sitting beside the other brunette.

"Yes, yes I am still mad." Tsuna answered, bangs covering his eyes.

"Why so?" Kyoko asked, tilting her head to the right facing Tsuna.

"You just…" Tsuna faltered, tears streaming down his face. "You just remind me of them."

"Well, you should have told us earlier…" Yamamoto piped in, sitting beside Tsuna.

"I know…" Tsuna snapped at the former baseball idol.

"Then why didn't you?" Kyoko demanded.

"I was too mad." Tsuna turned to the girl sitting at his right side.

"We understand, Tsuna." Yamamoto nodded. "But you should have told us."

Kyoko nodded and stood up. She walked towards the ruins formerly known as the Namimori Middle School Roof. She turned to the two sitting boys and said,

"Well, I don't think we have to trouble ourselves cleaning this rubble." Kyoko smirked and snapped her middle finger and thumb.

"Are you sure?" Yamamoto asked, observing his surroundings. Tsuna rolled his eyes.

"Of course, just watch." Kyoko said, right hand bursting into similar flames Tsuna and Hibari produced earlier.

Suddenly, the trio's surroundings shifted here and there. Tsuna and Yamamoto watched, amazed and their friend's newly practiced power. In a minute or so, the school roof was fixed, showing no signs of being brutally destroyed by the two scariest people in Namimori.

"When did you learn this?" Tsuna asked, impressed.

"Oh, just recently from a friend." Kyoko answered, dismissing the flame. "Let's go."

Tsuna and Yamamoto nodded and stood up. Yamamoto and Kyoko headed out first and Tsuna followed them. The brunette abruptly stopped, feeling that trouble will come soon. He just smirked, bangs covering his eyes, and followed Yamamoto and Kyoko out.


Somewhere within the neighborhood of Namimori, Enrico Vongola and his home tutor, Reborn, were doing their routine.

"Alright, Stupid Enrico, tell me again what's Dying Will Flames." Reborn ordered, a green gun dangerously pointed in the middle of Enrico's forehead.

"Yeah, I will!" Enrico shouted, inching back. "Just don't shoot!"

"Say it then I'll stop." Reborn neutrally said.

"Okay but just lower the gun down." Enrico sighed. "Dying Will Flames are high-density form of energy coming from someone's own life force."

"And?" Reborn demanded, making Enrico just sigh.

"They resonate with one's emotions, making it similar to a battle aura but it is very similar to a real flame." Enrico continued. "Due to resonating with one's emotions, the type of flame is based on it, though some people contradict with that… fact."

"Good enough." Reborn commented. "What are the types of flames and what are the known abilities?"

"There are 2 types of flames, the Flames of the Sky and the Flames of the Earth." Enrico answered. "There are not much known about the Flames of the Earth and the most common one is the Flames of the Sky."

"Good." Reborn commented. "Continue."

"The Flames of the Sky include the Sky, Storm, Rain, Sun, Lightning, Mist and Cloud flames." Enrico continued. "The Sky flame has the ability of Harmony, the one who harmonizes the seven types of flames within the Flames of the Sky. Bearers usually have great insight, a common trait."

"The Storm flame has the ability to Disintegrate anything, including other Dying Will Flames." Enrico said. "The flame is said to be highly offensive due its ability."

"The Rain flame can be more put inside the category of water rather than a flame." Enrico added. "Its ability is Tranquility, an ability carrying the meaning of stillness and pacification."

"The Sun flame has the ability of Activation, an ability that allows any activity to induce and improve." Enrico stated. "It is usually used for healing purposes since it improves cells' regeneration ability but it is hard to use in direct combat."

"The Lightning flame has the ability of Hardening, making it have the ability to add firmness to something." Enrico stated. "Like the Rain flame, it is more classified as electricity than a flame."

"The Mist flame… has the ability to Construct things, thus making them have the ability to create illusions." Enrico trembled a bit. "It has low hardness and weak offensive."

"The Cloud flame has the ability of Propagation, meaning to increase and replicate things." Enrico breathed out. "Unlike the other flames, it is unstable-looking."

"Good, but here's another one." Reborn said, making Enrico groan. "How do flames activate?"

"By the user's resolution and a thing used to activate flames like rings and bullets." Enrico answered.

"Alright, we're done for today." Reborn announced, lowering the gun. "You can do what you please."

Enrico silently cheered and went to the bathroom to clean up. Who knew studying can be so tiring. Oh well, at least it's useful. Unknown to the young boss-to-be, that 4 people will be on his tail later.


Me: Okay, that's done! Next time again? Ciao!
