*Lancia shall be known as Rokudo, Lancia, or the fake Mukuro...the real Rokudo Mukuro is just Mukuro.
~*-.-*~
"Rokudo Mukuro."
"What have you done with Fuuta?" asked Gokudera, shouting.
"Fuuta?" asked Rokudo slowly. He raised the chain, "No clue"
Suddenly, Gokudera collapsed. As his sister ran to him, she thought He's burning up, is this the trident mosquito side effect that Shamal mentioned?
Meanwhile, in order to distract their attacker, Yamamoto moved to the side. "I'll be your opponent," he stated. However, as soon as he finished, the ball was already swinging toward him. As he dodged, the iron ball followed. A few seconds later and it slammed into him.
"Yamamoto!"
Reborn was on the sidelines. He thought this is bad. It seems that we can only wait for Potter Harry and his associates to interfere now. He noticed three figures on a nearby tree. There they are, I wonder how they got here so fast. And why they are not fighting this guy yet...? They better fight soon. I do not have any Reborn bullets and Tsuna cannot activate the flames by himself yet...
~*-.-*~
As the people he came with were fighting, Tsuna was running. Running to follow Fuuta, to help a friend. When he finally thought to turn around, he saw nobody following him. "Gah? Where did everyone go? Should I go back? No. I can still see where Fuuta ran, I might be able to find him again," he told himself.
However, as he kept on running and walking, he saw no sign of anyone until he heard a rustle to his side. He turned to see someone in a Kokuyo uniform. Oh, no. A Kokuyo student!
He was surprised when the teen did not attack him. Instead, the blue haired boy seemed very happy to have spotted Tsuna.
"You're here to help us, aren't you? Yes! We're saved. I honestly thought that I'd never make it out of there alive"
Tsuna was confused but replied, "S-Sorry to have kept you waiting but we're in the middle of a rescue."
"Well thanks. Wow. You must have come with some really strong friends" the mysterious teen said, seemingly in wonder.
Tsuna scratched his head, in embarrassment. "N-not really. There's a woman and a baby..."
"Eh? A baby? Is he a super strong fighter?"
"Of course not. How could a baby fight?" Tsuna laughed nervously. He suddenly remembered something. "Ah, that's right. Is there a Namimori student here. His name is Hibari-san..."
"He's being confined in one of the buildings here."
"Really? Do you know which one?" Tsuna was exhilarated. However, he was not prepared for the teen to reply, "I'm the one asking questions here. This baby, what is he capable of?"
Tsuna stopped all of his actions to really look at the blue-haired teen. Something is not right, he thought. Something seemed to have changed...
Instead of answering, Tsuna decided that this was a really good time to act like Dame-Tsuna. "Ah" he cried. "I seemed to have strayed off from the others. I need to get back. Later!" he shouted was he ran in the direction that ,he thinks, he came from.
As soon as the Namimori student was out of range, beside the Kokuyo uniformed teen was another, this one with a bar code on his cheek. "Mukuro-sama, That baby," said the new arrival, "is definitely one of the Arcobaleno."
"Kufufu...perhaps" replied the newly revealed Mukuro. "I wonder what that baby has up his sleeves."
"You seem really happy," noted Chikusa.
"Actually, I am amazed at this meeting. The Vongola Nono is known as a man who could see through the strengths of others. His successor that was chosen is ..weaker than I expected."
He turned to walk back toward the buildings. "Well either way, the Arcobaleno will have to show his hand first, after all, I doubt the could stand up to his strength." He clarified, "The fake Rokudo Mukuro I mean." He thought back to how he sealed his tattoo only when he needed to actually do something to someone, unlike a certain skylark who preferred to keep his sealed all the time. This was how Mukuro was able to possess Fuuta. However, unsealing the tattoo would cause even an even bigger advantage against those who had already attacked him. That was his trump card after all.
Hurry up Chikusa," he called to his companion.
Chikusa hesitated, "Mukuro-sama, I have a question.."
Mukuro turned. "Yes?" he asked already guessing what his question was about.
"Your...friend. Why did he help Vongola defeat Birds if he was your friend?"
Mukuro smirked, "To establish his identity. Besides, he knew that he wasn't doing much by defeating Birds. The Arcobaleno probably had already set up measures to protect the girls. The guy just took advantage of how that protection was not in sight in order to set up an alibi to not get linked to our crime, at least not in an extremely bad way."
"I see..." Chikusa said, extremely confused. He decided not to mention that Gokudera Hayato had mentioned a member of the mafia family had lived in Harry's house lest he get more confused.
Mukuro just chuckled, "Come on, let's go prepare for our guests...this is, if they make that far"
~*-.-*~
Meanwhile, Tsuna was running through the forest, thinking about all that had already occurred. He thought back to how Hibari was captured and all of Mukuro's hostages seemed to act very weirdly.
He sighed again.
Then he looked around frowning. He was sure that his friends were somewhere here but couldn't see a sign of them anywhere.
He walked slowly, tired of all the running that he did today, in search of his friends. He saw movement in the corner of his eye. As he turned, he saw that the moving figure was like the one in the photo, Rokuro Mukuro!
The Vongola Decimo turned to see where the man was aiming towards, to see Gokudera curled on the floor in pain, Yamamoto leaning against a tree with a broken bat in his lap, and Bianchi protecting Yamamoto with two dishes of poison cooking in her hands.
Tsuna couldn't contain himself any longer. "Hey! What are you doing?" he shouted at the attacker before freezing, realizing what he had done.
Rokudo paused before turning to the junior high student, "Get down here Vongola." When Tsuna didn't move, he said, "Fine. Wait till I kill off this woman then"
He readied the chain and ball and swung it. "Bouja Reppa!"
~*-.-*~
Harry leaned against the tree trunk while Daphne decided to sit on the same branch. Blaise crouched down on a nearby tree. The three were waiting, waiting for an opportunity to turn the situation to their advantage.
While Daphne and Blaise did not know Harry's complete plan, they too knew the importance of waiting. Both were after all, Slytherins. And although under any other circumstances, they would have been uncomfortable not knowing the whole plan, they knew to trust Harry. After all, he was the mastermind behind a plot that ran circles around both Dumbledore and the Dark Lord Voldemort. Besides, Harry wouldn't betray their group, without any reason to. So they waited.
Harry was waiting. Timing was very important after all. If he went in too early, it might have been awkward. Besides, Tsuna wouldn't have been there and would kinda defeat the point of the plan since Tsuna was Vongola Decimo and the one he had to convince. This plan would have let Reborn know that Harry was a part of the Evan famiglia but nothing else really. If the wizards went in too late, Reborn might have interfered since Harry took the last bullet via Summoning Charm early on.
Then again, thought Harry, if Reborn probably already noticed us in the trees so all this thinking doesn't really do much.
They didn't have to wait long to see Tsuna meeting Mukuro in a scrying mirror that was in Daphne's charmed bag (since Harry didn't want the others to know about his storage).
Blaise and Daphne stared at how Tsuna was behaving. The wizard turned to Harry, "Now I'm convinced that he is an idiot."
Harry raised an eyebrow, "Only now?"
Daphne looked up to glare at the two arguing boys. "Can you guys just stop arguing?"
The witch was very frustrated though she had masked it well to others. She had relaxed her mask as the Slytherin Ice Queen around most of the people she trusted. Especially Blaise, Harry, and Draco. While many people thought that she was always very cold-hearted, Daphne was, in reality, very blood thirsty and loved violent fights. Right now, she was very frustrated that everyone else was fighting, and fighting very crappily too, but she couldn't and there really wasn't much of the kind of violent actions that she liked.
When the wizards and witch finally turned back tot he fight before them, they were surprised at how quickly the fake Mukuro had defeated the group. Gokudera was on the ground, in pain from what they guessed was Trident Shamal's treatment
"...they can't be that pathetic...right? " Blaise asked, right eye twitching.
Daphne's hands were moving as if strangling something, "...they are even worse than you when you first started fighting..."
Blaise twitched again, this time the whole body. "Hey!" he snarled, offended at the comment but Daphne merely raised an eyebrow as if to ask 'what?'
Harry chuckled, "calm down guys," before seeing Tsuna arrive at the scene. "Daphne, Blaise. If you two would announce our presence?" He asked, attracting the attention of the couple.
Daphne gave a blood thirty smirk before reaching into her bag and pulling out a Shadow Windmill Shuriken. Blaise's face just smoothed into a cold look. He slipped on a pair of gauntlets with sharp spikes on it. He had stored it in a storage scroll which Harry had taught them all how to make. (Harry learned from some other people in Masked).
Daphne quickly threw the large shuriken at the ball that was approaching the Poison Scorpion. The iron weapon quickly flew off track with the speed and force that the shuriken had. The ball ended up a few meters away in a crater, disconnected to the chain, with the Shadow Windmill Shuriken beside it.
Lancia turned to the source of the attack to see three figures in the trees. He was inwardly surprised to see that three people had gotten beneath his guard. What an interesting strategy. Instead of trying to block the weapon, they decided to cut the Bouja-Reppa and actually managed to cut it.
He decided to throw the chain at the three to see what they would do.
When the chain hit the trees causing the trunks to break, Harry and Daphne were already beside Yamamoto and Gokudera respectively. Meanwhile, Blaise had ran around Lancia. The wizard circled clockwise from where he had jumped off to the older man's right side before punching him straight in the side of the face.
The escapee flew and crashed into the rubble created by the tree trunks but he stood up, his only wounds being those from where Blaise's gauntlet spikes had reached him. Lancia growled, "Do you think you have beaten me just because you got rid of my weapon? Close combat is my specialty too" he announce before charging towards Blaise.
Harry jumped between in the two and blocked Lancia's flurry of punches. Harry quickly dealt a kick and was about to send him flying again when he felt a kunai flying just past his cheek. He turned to Daphne how asked in a sickly sweet voice, "Harry? Will you let we play with him instead?"
Seeing how much Daphne desired to fight the attacker, Harry jumped away to crouch where Daphne was, besides Gokudera who growled at him weakly, "Who are they?"
Harry just replied politely, "They are some friends of mine."
"If they are your friends and so is Luna, tell me this. Are they and you all part of the Evan famiglia?"
Harry just nodded absently, "Finally figured it out?" he asked while thinking about how this should go since Gokudera would most likely tell Tsuna and the others. He had not counted on Gokudera finding out because of when Gokudera left and how much he seemed to care about the Mafia court system since the bomber did not really have to worry about the Vendice or Evan famiglia when the Italian was in Italy.
Gokudera fell silent before asking, "Why are you here? and why did you tell me?"
Harry replied, "I told you because you asked. I'm here...I actually don't know why" he said, semi-truthfully on the last statement. He really didn't know why he was still here. "I was first here for my brother. Then..I guess I just found you guys interesting..."
The Evan famiglia member stood up when he saw that Daphne had dealt with Lancia and was about to finish him off when Tsuna suddenly ran to stop her.
"Stop" cried Tsuna. "Please stop." He pleaded to the bloodthirsty woman. When Daphne moved to hit Tsuna on the head with her umbrella/sword in her right hand and a kunai to cut his throat in the left, Harry seemingly teleported to where the two were. He quickly blocked to umbrella and took out a iron fan to block the kunai.
"Daphne Greengrass," he said sternly, "that's enough. Stop attacking him. I think that Tsuna has something to say to your victim."
Daphne silently put away her kunai and turned back, walking to where Blaise was, next to the iron ball.
Harry stood beside Tsuna how knelt next to Lancia, watching as the future boss talked to the man. "I though it was strange the first time I saw you. I didn't feel any fear towards you. In fact, I felt that you were like this one kid we had at home, Lambo, though you may not know of him."
Lancia was shocked, "Y-you saw all of that with just a glance? I admit defeat..." He mumbled softly though Tsuna was still able to hear it, "No wonder Rokudou Mukuro was cautious about you"
Tsuna looked startled, "What did you say?"
Lancia glanced at Harry before turning back to Tsuna, "You didn't know?" before mumbling softly again, "I thought that the kid over there told you already..."
Tsuna questioned, "You mean Harry?"
Lancia nodded, "Yes, I thought that-" he cut off when he saw that Harry was glaring at his face. Harry mentally reached out to the man who had attacked him earlier, letting the wizard use his powers on Lancia.
-If you tell him anything, I'll let Daphne play with you. Then I shall unleash every little secret about you into the world...-
Lancia gulped. Scary...
Tsuna waved his hand in front of the fake Mukuro, not knowing what Harry did. "Are you alright?" He asked kindly. "You were saying something about Harry not telling use something and something about Rokudou Mukuro."
The defeated man focused back on the Vongola Decimo. "Ah, I was just mistaken. But you should know that I am a fake."
"A fake!" repeated that others. "But the photo from prison..."
The fake Mukuro explained how the real criminal never had his picture taken. He then proceeded to explain how he lost everything because of Rokudou Mukuro.
"Five years ago, I was a part of a Northern Italy mafia family," began the man. He went on about how he was a orphan that the mafia family to care of. In return he became a bodyguard. One day, the boss took up another orphan. "The orphan was became my responsibility and I loved him and treated him just like how my family had treated me." The story then continued on the incident. He had gone to the base after cards, only to see that everyone was killed. Enraged, the man began to search for he could have been the perpetrator, only to reveal that it was himself. "Since then, there were many times where I would wake up, not remembering anything, with corpses at my feet. I tried to commit suicide to stop everything...but couldn't. I was too deeply in his control to do such a thing. Yeah, it was that kid. That kid was Rokudou Mukuro."
"Since then, I lost my will and even my name, becoming the fake Rokudou Mukuro." The man concluded.
Tsuna stared in disbelief. "Just what kind of man is Rokudo Mukuro? That's not something a normal human would do..."
The quiet til now Gokudera shouted, "Let's kick his ass, Jyuudiame!"
"Gokudera" Tsuna was pleasantly shocked, "You're alright!"
Lancia was too weakened by Daphne's attacks so he weakly decided to start, "Vongola. Mukuro's true objective-Watch out!" He tried to get up and block the incoming needles but only caused his wounds to be disturbed, causing more blood to gush out, almost knocking him unconscious.
Instead, Daphne stepped to where the needles were coming from and opened her umbrella, the needles bouncing off the metal shield. While she was protected everyone, Blaise tried to fight the unseen attacker, Chikusa, only to find that he has already ran away.
Reborn stated, "Although their goal was to silence him through the needles, those were blocked. However, they still succeeded in a way since the lady's attacks have caused him to be unable to move."
As the fake Mukuro's eyes almost slid shut, Tsuna quickly said, "Tell me your real name. It's not Rokudou Mukuro, you have a real name, right?"
Surprised, the man uttered out, "I am Lancia" before finally surrendering his consciousness.
As he fainted, the Vongola crushed while Harry just watched silently. Wanting to see how far they could be pushed, Blaise spoke, "I wonder how much of that story was true..."
The group turned on him, eyes glaring.
Before they managed to say anything, Harry spoke, "That was rather rude of you, Blaise..." while giving him an 'are you crazy?' look.
Blaise shrugged.
Gokudera then faced Daphne, "And you, it's your fault that he's dead and we still don't know Mu-"
Reborn interrupted, "He's not dead yet"
Tsuna looked if relief, "That's good...and Daphne-san, since that is the only name I know... Normally I would be very angry at you for doing this, but I think that the real cause for all of this is Mukuro."
Daphne didn't say anything until Harry softly whispered, "Daphne," looking at her expectantly. Daphne turned away before muttering a "Sorry" for everyone to hear if they strained. Then she dropped even lower, "He deserved it after all he was too weak..." Luckily only Reborn, Harry, and Blaise heard that.
The Hurricane Bomber then turned to Harry, "I do not know your goal, but..." He shouted for everyone to hear "Harry and his friends are a part of the Mafia, too. The Evan famiglia!" believing that it was the right thing to do.
"HIIEE?" Tsuna was very shocked though he should have expected it since he had just found to earlier that Luna was a part of the Mafia.
Yamamoto groaned as he woke up from the combination of both yells. "What happened...?"
Tsuna shouted, "Yamamoto, you're awake."
"Yeah, but I don't really think that I can do much right now..."
Harry sighed. "Blaise, can you get him to the hospital, it doesn't matter which one. Or even better, bring him somewhere safe and just treat him. Stay there until I come back..." He gave an 'and don't use magic' look.
"Harry?" Tsuna and Gokudera were confused why they were helping them. Blaise merely followed Harry's directions.
The Vongola Decimo turned to Reborn. "Harry and Daphne are both a part of the Evan famiglia...can you tell about their family? You said something about telling us later, but I think that this is the perfect time to explain."
Reborn sighed though inwardly he was pleased at the opportunity. Maybe he could finally get some more information on the mysterious foreigner.
"The Evan famiglia was once a very powerful family. It had a very old history and no other family dared to attack or anger it. The leadership of the famiglia was hereditary, always passed down in the main family, the Evans. The Evans had always only one child who would later assume leader. Everyone was expecting the last generation to be the same. However, the day that the head's wife gave birth, they disappeared.
"Years later, when the Evan famiglia was practically disbanded, news came that the head was found in England with twin daughters. The famiglia was happy, expecting a leader once more, however, that was not the case. The head, Evan Tredecimo, told all the members to work like they would until the heir(ess) reached a suitable age to take care of the famiglia."
Gokudera interrupted, his mind racing at the possibilities. "But he had twin daughters right? So which one was the heiress?"
Reborn just ignored him and continued, "Then, when both girls turned 11, the younger one was suddenly sent to a boarding school while the older one stayed home. Jealous, the older twin started taunting her sister and turning her nose down at the family business. Because of this, the Tredecimo declared his younger daughter the heiress. All was well until about 15 years ago, Halloween. The heiress and her husband were found dead in their home, their child unseen. Since then, the Evan famiglia truly disbanded, though some still followed the Tredecimo's orders, working their business."
"But Reborn" Tsuna complained, "That was a very vague story that you can get practically nothing from..." he trailed off when he heard a chuckle.
A chuckle, a guffaw, and finally laughter. Everyone turned to see Harry laughing while Daphne just stood beside him with a frown on her face.
"I should not have underestimated your information gathering skills" Harry got out.
Reborn just replied, "But as Dame-Tsuna said, my information is very vague. The last piece of information I have is that only a few months ago, the Evan famiglia suddenly had new, young members. These members claimed that the head had returned, the grandson of the Evan Tredecimo. But the head was never shown. No outside famiglia knows why everyone is confident that the one claiming to be a descendant is one even thought he has not been seen except with the new members as a liaison. I also know a few of the new members, a little bit."
Harry shrugged, "You can't tell you everything, but I can tell you something," causing Daphne to glance at him sharply. "Harry"
"Fine, fine" Harry turned back to Reborn, "maybe after all of this."
"Harry" The mentioned teen just waved the Slytherin off. "Don't worry about it"
He clapped his hand together before saying cheerfully, "So, shall we get going?"
"But where?" asked Tsuna.
"Idiot. Obviously over to that building over there." She nodded to a tall building in front of them. "If you had payed attention to other things, you would have seen Birds's bird fly over there."
"Hey! Don't insult Jyuudaime."
"I'm not, I'm just simply stating the obvious."
Blaise tried to calm them both down, "Well, either way, let's just go..."
Neither of the fighters replied to him, they just fell silent, not facing each other.
"So that's where Mukuro is?"
"Yes, it's finally time to face him..."
~*-.-*~
Might have been kind of confusing...
please review?
