~*-.-*~Fight: Gokudera Hayato verse Kakimoto Chikusa~*-.-*~
The two fighters faced each other.
After hearing the bar-coded teen's challenge, Gokudera misunderstood the situation, "Sheesh, What's going on these days? Why do we always seem to get involved with gangsters of other schools?..."
He took out a few sticks of dynamite, "All right, since you asked for a fight, you'll get one."
To the side, two high school students came upon the scene. "Cool! A fight between junior high students!"
Chikusa turned and threw a handful of dynamite at the forehead of both students, none of the weapons missing its mark.
Gokudera turned, "H-Hey, What did you do that for?"
The Kokuyou student turned to his opponent, "Let's hurry, this is really troublesome..."
With that as the only warning, he attacked.
Gokudera barely dodged and got a scratch on his cheek. "Che..."
Quickly, the bomber ran around the corner. When his pursuer turned around the same corner, the needle-user was quickly barraged with sticks of dynamite and Gokudera nowhere in sight.
Chikusa quickly used the string of a pair of yo-yo to cut the dynamite and careful maneuvered the heads of the yo-yo to the center of the street. The weapon then released a shower of needles, causing the windows to explode and forced his opponent out of hiding.
Gokudera was worried, This guy is no ordinary junior high student...He's a professional hitman no matter how you look at it!
He turned to the bar-coded teen, "I might have gotten senile, but which family is Kokuyou High?"
Chikusa faced him and, as if in relief, sighed "Finally, we got one of the right ones. Who are the members of your family and who is your boss?"
Gokudera's eyes widened in relief, "What! You're after Jyuudaime? Well, then I'm going to stop you at all costs. Double Bomb!"
He threw the dynamite only for the other fighter's yo-yo go past them, cutting the dynamite while spewing more needles. The yo-yo then split, one on each side as a pincer attack, effectively trapping Gokudera in between.
I didn't want to use these since I only have a few... the silver-haired teen thought as he ran toward his attacker to avoid receiving too much damage.
Chikusa was surprised at the other's reactions but didn't show it. "Too slow" he taunted.
Gokudera growled, "I'm not done yet, Double Bomb!" he cried, falling backwards as he initiated his attack.
His opponent sighed, expecting the same move as last time, only to fail to cut up the dynamite by misjudging the distance. The explosives finally hit him.
Gokudera was on the ground, explaining how his attack worked and enjoying his victory when Tsuna ran to him.
"Gokudera-kun!"
"Jyuudiame? What are you doing here?"
"There was a rumor that Gokudera was targeted by the Kokuyou High guys so I..."
Gokudera was surprised that Tsuna looked for him because of that. "Sorry for the trouble, I just took care of that guy" He bowed then pointed in the direction that he last saw Chikusa.
Tsuna relaxed and sweat dropped as he turned to where Gokudera was appointing. That's something, turning on your attacker. Gokudera really is strong.
However when they both looked, only to see charred ground.
"You really saved me a lot of trouble" a voice came from the side. Both Namimori students paled.
There was Chikusa, charred on one side, but still able to move.
When the bar-coded teen turned to attack the future boss of Vongola, Tsuna was too much in shock and couldn't move. His self-proclaimed right hand man quickly ran in front of him and took the full-on attack.
"Jyuudaime...please run..." Gokudera managed to get out before collapsing.
Chikusa held out his yo-yos. "It's time to end this" He attacked again.
This time, Tsuna still couldn't move but luckily he was dragged to safety. The dust caused by the run cleared to reveal an unusually angry Yamamoto.
The newest arrival explained about how the school got a half day and heard that there was a fight here. The baseball player deduced that one of the fighters was probably Gokudera. He saw the mentioned teen unconscious and took out his bat.
Their opponent attacked again, "You're getting in the way"
However, the needles were blocked by Yamamoto's bat turned sword and the strings of the yo-yos were cut.
"I see..." Chikusa mumbled, "Namimori Junior High class 2-A, Seat number 15, Yamamoto Takeshi."
"So what if I am?" Yamamoto asked suspiciously.
"You're Ken's opponent. It'll be troublesome if I interfered" Chikusa mumbled as he slowly walked off, leaving two troubled teens to deal with their third, unconscious comrade.
~*-.-*~Winner: Undetermined~*-.-*~
A street telephone booth
A disguised Reborn was talking into a telephone, "Thanks Dino. If this group is the same bunch of guys. They probably won't think twice about using strange methods." a pause "Apart from the jailbreak, there has not been any other news on our side..."
~*-.-*~Fight: Potter Harry verse Joushima Ken~*-.-*~
As the fighters faced off on the vacant alleyway, Harry broke the tense moment by asking, "so what's your name?"
The other fighter paused for a minute before replying, "Ken"
Normally Ken would just fight and not ask questions but this time, his opponent did not show any confusion, as if he was expecting them. He grinned. A hit, he thought.
Out loud, he asked the British teen "I seemed to by expecting me. I'm guessing you're part of the famiglia. Tell me who the other members are and how is the boss."
To his slight surprise, Harry just smirked, "I'm not the one you are looking for."
Ken snarled, "What's that supposed to mean? Meh. Whatever, Monkey Channel!"
He ran past Harry and bounced off the wall, attempting to bounce off the wall straight into his opponent. However, he did not expect for Harry to swing and catch his arm with the chain.
As Ken tried to bite the chain off his arm, the wizard moved, deciding to end the match quickly and not toy around as much as he usually would. Seeing this, the blond quickly changed channels switching to a more close range animal. He announced "Kong Channel!" before he grew slightly larger in size and with fur.
Harry sighed, dodging hits and grabs as he got closer and closer to Ken. Idly, he asked out loud, "You know, with all those teeth, how do you tell the difference between each set? Do you ever mix it up? What happens when you do? Nothing? And can you turn use animals that don't have teeth that fit you and don't have teeth? Like owls or fish?"
His opponent growled at Harry's inattention to the fight and switched to another pair of teeth.
Harry inferred that it was his Possum Channel because of files sent by his friends and smirked, deciding to go along with Ken's plan.
After hitting his challenger and making him collapse, Harry bent down, as if to check if the downed fighter was still alive. Seeing his chance, Ken tried to grab Harry's face, only to find that he was grasping air instead. He felt a blow to the neck. As he looked to the side, he saw Harry, still smirking.
Ken's eyes widened. Bastard...He was toying with me the whole time... was his last thought before truly collapsing.
~*-.-*~Winner: Potter Harry~*-.-*~
Harry sighed as he sealed up his weapon and picked up the blond. He moved Ken to his right shoulder as he started the long trek to Kokuyo Land. His opponent wasn't that weak but since he had to face Harry...the guy never really stood a chance.
As he traveled along the old abandoned highway, he thought about the whole situation and what his next move should be. But after a while, he sighed. "Ah screw it. I'm just supposed to be watching anyways..." he told himself out loud.
He was brought out of his reflections when he arrived at the back entrance of the rundown park. Not wanting to set off any alarms, he set his burden down to pull a broomstick out of his storage. He picked up Ken again and got back on, side-saddle instead of the standard wizard way.
He floated but as he reached the building, he got annoyed that he would have to go up a lot of stairs and distance with a pretty heavy teenager on his shoulder. Because of this, he sighed and used his serpentine stone to turn intangible and just flew through all of the floors until he reached the level where he felt Mukuro's presence on.
He deactivated his gem's ability and put away his broomstick. Popping through the door, he greeted rather loudly, "Mu-ku-ro-kun~"
He ducked a swing from Mukuro's trident just in time. "Aww. That's rather mean of you, Mukuro-kun!"
The mentioned teen paused in his attack, "Harry?"
"Yup! I came to return your subordinate."
Mukuro paused, "I see..."
Harry's grin dropped. "I haven't really talked to you for a long time."
"What are you talking about, we talked few times this month"
"But not really actually talking about stuff...Drop the act Mukuro. I'm the head of the Evan famiglia, I was one of the first to know about your escape. I am the one that delayed your search for a while. Besides, Yue-sama has already told me not to interfere with anything, at least not majorly..."
"Oh?"
Both occupants of the room stared at each other when the door opened again and a burnt up boy with a bar-code on his cheek walked in.
The newcomer stared at Harry who was still carrying Ken, slid out his yo-yos before turning to Mukuro. "Mu...kuro-sa...ma..." he managed to get out before fainting.
Harry stared, "He's really..dedicated to you. Aw...now there is an unconscious person on the floor and I still need to put this guy down." He pointed to Ken, emphasizing his point.
Mukuro sighed. "You can lay them over there" He indicated to two couches to the side. He continued, "We need to have a nice long discussion about all of this..." Worrying about Harry and his purpose just wasn't worth the headaches so it was better just it talk about everything.
Harry wasn't done talking yet, "And I still have to pick up Blaise and Daphne from the airport soon, cause their plane lands in like half an hour..."
Mukuro sighed again.
~*-.-*~
"Why is Hayato here instead of the hospital?" were Bianchi's first words when she stepped into the room holding a fruit basket.
"Bianchi-chan 3!" as the mentioned woman kicked Shamal to the side, he decided to answer, "Reborn said that the hospital was dangerous so he brought him here. I may not treat men, but lending a bed is ok..."
"I will attend to Hayato's recuperation, if you are going to get in my way, then step outside," announced Bianchi.
"Bianchi..." everyone was moved but they all remembered one small detail. Shamal muttered, "He'd recover only to die in a different way" while Tsuna sweat-dropped and Yamamoto snickered.
Bianchi's eyes narrowed, "Yamamoto Takeshi, just what is so funny? Depending on the answer I may kill you."
"Eh?" Yamamoto pointed at himself, surprised.
Meanwhile, Tsuna stared at Gokudera. If only I moved at the time..It's all my thought Gokudera got hurt he thought, as he left the room.
He felt something land on his head, only to look up and see Reborn on the ceiling, being held up by a transformed Leon. "What the heck?"
"Leon has finally settled into his cocoon state" was the tutor's only explanation.
Putting that aside, Tsuna asked, "Where were you? Things have gotten really bad here!"
Reborn replied, "I was investigating a jailbreak incident in Italy."
"A jailbreak?"
"Yes. Two weeks ago, there was a jailbreak at a high security prison reserved for mafia criminals that have committed the most heinous crimes. After that, the information network tracked the ringleaders behind the escape. They were two subordinates under a Rokudou and were heading towards Japan. Following that, three students returning from abroad transferred into Kokuyou High. Ten days ago, a gang was formed. The leader's name was Rokudou Mukuro."
"Ehh? Could it be that they are the same person? Why is someone so frightening targeting Nami High?" Tsuna asked, scared.
He suddenly thought of something, "What a minute, does that mean that our opponents are mafioso?"
Reborn looked grave, "The opposite, these people have been exiled from the mafia."
Silence.
"What! What should I do?" Tsuna crouched onto the floor, holding his head.
"What else? You have to take down Mukuro and his gang, of course" Reborn answer nonchalantly
Tsuna yelled, "Don't be ridiculous. There's no way we can beat those guys"
"Well, even if you can't, you have to" he held up a letter. "This is the first time the Ninth wrote a letter to you."
"A letter?"
"Let me read it to you. Dear Vongola Decimo, I have heard of your development from your tutor here. You are a successor of the boss after all. The time has come for you to take the next step. As the highest ranking member of the Vongola Famiglia, I'm giving you this order: Within the next twelve hours, you are to capture Rokudou Mukuro and his gang of escaped convicts. You are also to rescue the hostage at the same time. Best of Luck, Vongola Nono."
"What the heck?" Tsuna shouted at Reborn who ignored him to continue, "P.S. If you refuse the mission, You'll be considered a traitor and have to die."
Tsuna covered his ears, "I didn't anything...I definitely didn't hear anything"
He ran out of the school, "I didn't even want to be a part of this Mafia business in the first place," he muttered to himself.
He relaxed, only to tense up again when he heard passing adults whisper about if it was safe for a Nami student like him to be wandering the streets.
Reborn suddenly popped out again to tell him, "There's no place left to feel secure. Besides," Reborn reminded him, "the guy who attacked Gokudera already knows who you are know. Don't forget about those guys have already done to try and find you and what they still might do," referring back to the attacks and everyone who was injured.
"But even Hibari-san hasn't come back yet, there's no way that Dame-Tsuna can do against a guy like that..." Tsuna trailed off.
"That's not what everyone else thinks" Reborn told his student.
"Jyuudiame, let me go with you!"
Tsuna turned to see a seemingly unharmed Gokudera.
"Go-Gokudera-kun? What about your injuries?"
"Those scratches? There nothing. I'm going to fill that glasses freak!"
Another voice joined the conversation, "I'm going too, Tsuna, the little guy told me all about it"
Then Bianchi appeared, "I'm going. I'm worried about Hayato" she stated, only for her brother to collapse on the ground, sick.
Reborn announced to the gathered group, "All right, we'll all go to the enemy ground together. They've located their hideout in a corner of the old highway. That's where the hostage should be as well. It's someone you all know"
~*-.-*~
Kokuyo Land:
"So have you told anyone else about what you are doing?" was the first thing Harry asked when they had settled down.
Mukuro replied, "Yue-sama told me not to tell any other member, but I think a few people have found out already." He fired back, "what are you going to do now that you know my plan?"
"Nothing really. I can't do anything that I think is drastic because Yue-sama told me not in interfere much." Harry sighed and continued, "I'll probably just watch the show"
Mukuro gave an amused smile, "so we're just entertainment to you?"
Harry grinned and unashamedly chipped, "Yup" Then his smile looked very old and said, "Well, that's the best way to deal with things, know you? Besides, I think that Yue-sama probably arranged it so that I would figure everything out and just wanted me to sit back. I really can't do anything either way"
Mukuro's smile also turned very tired. "Yeah, but that's the price we pay..."
Harry suddenly asked, "Hey, even if you know you will be defeated, can you give them a hard time? I want to see where they are in skill, so can you make this sort of like a test for them?"
"Are youso confident that they will win?" asked Mukuro.
"Yes because that is what Yue-sama has predicted and what my cards have said."
"Oh..." Mukuro frowned, "But fine, I will..."
Suddenly Harry turned to Mukuro, as if remembering something he forgot about, "So what did you do with Nii-san?"
"Nii-san? Is that what you call him know?"
"Yeah, I wanted to see how the students' reactions would be to it...then it just kinda stuck..." he shrugged, "whatever, so what did you do with him?"
Mukuro grinned cheekily, "I threw him into one of the storage rooms a few floors down. So why don't I get a nickname?" he asked.
Harry looked thoughtful, "Do you want one? I could call you..." He thought for a minute "Pineapple head ^.^"
Mukuro immediately shot back, "Then I get to call you Scarhead"
The two teenagers glared at each other before laughing out loud.
"Alright, no nicknames" they agreed.
Harry moved the subject back to Hibari, "I can already guess how you beat him this time. So what are you going to do about him?"
"Eh. Probably just keep him there. Am I that obvious?"
"Possibly...you should get him out before he starts holding a grudge against you..."
A pause.
Mukuro asked Harry, "You already know who the Vongola Decimo is, don't you?"
"Yeah, he is also my next door neighbor"
"Does he know that you're..."
"No, neither does his tutor, The Sun Arcobaleno, Reborn, though I believe that he is starting is suspect, especially after Luna visited."
"oh?"
"Yeah, You know, the tenth generation probably isn't going to be very bad. I know for sure that Tsuna-kun doesn't even want to be Decimo."
"Is that so? But Mafia is still Mafia"
"Aw..what about me?"
"Well, You're different..."
The long time friends continues to discuss things when they heard a groan.
~*-.-*~
"Tsuna, you just returned, are you going out to play?" asked Mama. Then she thought for a moment, "Nami students are still getting attacked, aren't they?"
Tsuna was trying to think of a reply that didn't involve that they were going to try and stop the attackers when Lambo and I-Pin ran into the room, wanting to play with Mama.
As they were carefree and having fun, Tsuna thought, I just realized how nice our days have been until now. I wonder if we can return to that after this fight.
"It's for that purpose, we're taking those people down," was Reborn's answer to Tsuna's unspoken question.
Tsuna snorted, "you make that sound easy..." He turned only to see a round something on Reborn's head. "Wha-?"
"I thought that we should take Leon along, he's in his cocoon state. Every time Leon gets into this state, my students end up near dying," Reborn said nonchalantly.
"Don't jinx it!" Tsuna shrieked. "And why did you have to mention this right before we set out?"
Ignoring what Tsuna said, Reborn continued, "I won't be taking part in the fight, since the mission was given directly to you. The rules say that I cannot fight except to shoot dying will bullets. Though we don't have any left since they are made from Leon's body and he can't make anymore...so I'll just be tagging along..." Reborn inwardly frowned at the reminder. He was sure that he had saved a bullet especially for situations like these, but it was not where he thought it was...
Tsuna was panicking, "Then what we supposed to do?"
"Is anyone there?" a voice called from outside the front door.
Yamamoto continued, "I brought the Sushi and tea"
"Are you looking for a fight? Is my lunch too stingy for you?" Bianchi appeared holding a box of her poison cooking.
They've been arguing a lot these days.. Tsuna thought. Out loud he asked a question that was bothering him, "Where's Gokudera-kun?"
"He's been outside"
Tsuna peered out the window to see the mentioned teen hiding near the front gate.
After they persuaded Bianchi to hide her face,he went outside to get Gokudera.
When everyone gathered, Gokudera glanced around. He frowned, "I'm surprised that the shorty didn't come..."
"Oh yeah, I forgot about Harry! I wonder where he is, the house doesn't seem to have anyone inside right now..."
"Hmm...maybe he went ahead. After all, Hibari is his brother, so maybe he told Harry about the place?" Tsuna asked. "That reminds me, Harry was number 3 on Fuuta's list, could they have already attacked him?"
Reborn told him, "That's possible..." Though he seemed surprised when he heard that Hibari already left. Just who are you Potter Harry?
He continued, "Alright, let's set out"
~*-.-*~
Kokuyou Land:
The two conscious occupants turned to the source of the groan, seeing Ken rising and rubbing his neck.
As he put his hand down again, he touched something. Looking down, he saw that Chikusa was next to him, looking all beat up. He looked up to see Mukuro and Harry sitting on the couch, not fighting each other, instead staring at him.
"Mukuro-sama...What?" He greeted.
"Ken, I'm glad to see that your awake." Mukuro said smiling.
Harry just waved, nudging Mukuro and telling him to start introductions for Ken's sake.
"Oh, alright. Stop being impatient. Ken, meet Potter Harry. He is an old friend that has recently moved to live into Namimori. When I saw the name for number 3, I was suspicious but I thought that it might have just been a coincidence."
"Did you meet him in ..." he motioned with his hands just in case Harry didn't know.
"You could say that." Mukuro looked amused by his efforts. "Harry already knows almost everything"
Harry was annoyed, "You know, He is right here."
Ken growled, still sore about the loss, "Yeah, whatever shorty."
"Oi! Is it wise to aggravate the person who easily defeated you in a fight?" Harry asked with a cold look of annoyance on his face, ticked off by the nickname.
The blond was starting to get frightened but pressed on, "What? The nickname's got to you?"
Harry started to rise, but Mukuro reached out to pull him back onto the seat. "Now, now, settle down Harry. I'm sure that Ken didn't mean what he said, right Ken?" He shot the latter teen a look telling him to apologize.
"Che." Ken looked to the side and muttered a "Sorry."
Harry had a satisfied look. Then he froze for a second and announced, "They're about 5 minutes from the main entrance," sensing Tsuna and company on the abandoned highway.
Ken looked startled, "What you are tal-" when Mukuro interrupted, "They're here already? Good. Ken, didn't you want to take care of Yamamoto Takeshi? He has almost arrived, you should prepare."
At the thought of fighting Yamamoto, all of Ken's questions were forgotten. "Then I'll be going, Mukuro-sama," and the excited teen left.
Harry then broke the following silence, "You do realize that Ken will lose, right? Especially since he just fought me."
"We will see, besides, even if he does, from what you said, he won't get killed."
"Aww. Is the great Mukuro worried about his subordinate?"
"Shush."
"Well I'm going to talk to Hibari about what's going to happen"
"Are you allowed to?" asked Mukuro in concern.
Harry pondered for a minute, "Well...It shouldn't really matter because he'll probably still attack you. And I'm not freeing him or anything...so I don"t think so?"
"If you are sure..."
There was a pause were Harry reached out with his mind
-Nii-san?-
^Otouto?^
-I'm with Mukuro...Yue-sama told me not interfere much-
^I see...^
-Yeah...Sorry. Anyways, Tsuna and his companions are coming...They'll probably get you out of there-
^I don't need any help getting help^
Raising one eyebrow -So why aren't you getting out right know?-
^...^ No answer
-Well...I think that's all. Uh...bye-
When Hibari didn't answer, Harry just cut off the connection. He focused his eyes to see Mukuro staring at him.
The illusionist asked, "Well? How did it go?"
"Ok, considering it's Nii-san." Harry suddenly remembered another question he had. "Are you holding Fuuta as a hostage or something? I heard that he disappeared just before the attacks started."
Mukuro refused to look into Harry's eyes, "Possibly...I might be using him as bait against Vongola.."
"Well let me talk to him"
"Sure, sure. He's with some others that I have gathered together to fight Vongola with."
"Others? I'd like to meet them too, if you'd be so kind"
"Fine. Just let me wait for Chikusa to awaken first."
