Disclaimer: I do not own Katekyo Hitman Reborn. Sadly. (And maybe fortunately.)
Tsuna didn't know which one he wanted to do more: run out of the Kokuyo Land building and never look back or run out of the Kokuyo Land while screaming his head off.
Despite his feelings, however, Tsuna stood trembling slightly in between Ken and Chikusa, watching with mild apprehension as a once thick mist in front of him cleared revealing a tall figure peering at them with mismatched eyes.
"Kufufufu…"
Suddenly that urge to run away screaming his head off seemed like an even better idea.
"Mukuro-san!" Ken gave a small howl before running over to the illusionist with a huge grin on is scarred face. Chikusa walked after Ken while pushing up his glasses in what Tsuna could have taken as excitement. (But Chikusa was most definitely walking faster than his usually pace.)
"Kufufufu. It has been a while, hasn't it, Ken? Chikusa?" Mukuro then turned his gaze on Tsuna.
"And it's been an even longer time for us, Sawada Tsunayoshi."
Tsuna stiffened, "H-hey th-there, Mukuro…" Tsuna laughed nervously.
"Ciaossu, Mukuro."
Mukuro looked up from Tsuna to Reborn on Tsuna's head. "Oh? The Arcobaleno's here too." He tilted his head slightly. "So what's the occasion? I was surprised when Chrome actually asked me to come out to talk to you." He paused to take off his jacket and toss it on the couch behind him. "Finally giving me the opportunity to possess you…?"
Tsuna nearly jumped five feet backwards while waving his hands frantically. "HIIIIII! N-no! That's not it at all!"
Mukuro smiled amusedly. "Well, it certainly wouldn't make it any fun if you were to just give yourself to me. Kufufufu."
Tsuna trembled violently. 'Argh… I just have to get one stupid picture and I can get out of here. Get it together, Tsuna…!'
"You still need to tell me why you're here, Vongola."
Tsuna smiled weakly at Mukuro. "A-ah, y-y-you see, I-I-"
"I believe he wants to take your picture, Mukuro-sama."
Tsuna twitched and felt his confidence go down the drain at the sound of Chikusa's voice. 'H-he responded for me…'
Mukuro turned to Chikusa. "Oh? Why's that?"
Ken snorted loudly. "Che! It's because he's taking a bunch of worthless pictures of his stupid Family."
Mukuro glanced at Ken. "Oh?" His eyes flicked back over to Tsuna. "And you think I am part of your family, Sawada Tsunayoshi?"
"I-I-I-"
"Apparently he does since he's here, huh, Mukuro?"
Tsuna glared down at his baby tutor. "REBORN! What are you-"
"I thought it was clear that I don't have any part with you and that mafia of yours." Mukuro's smile widened and his eyes narrowed. Tsuna gulped down a yelp as the kanji for 'six' in Mukuro's red eye switched into the kanji for 'four', then erupted in bright indigo flames.
"Ken, Chikusa, where's that rope Chrome told me she found the other day?"
Tsuna stiffened. 'W-why a rope?'
"It's over there, Mukuro-sama."
"I'll get it for you, Mukuro-san!"
Tsuna took a step back as Ken set a long rope in Mukuro's hands. He instinctively put his hands in front of his body as a way to prevent Mukuro from advancing towards him (which didn't work, obviously).
"Ah, how did you say it again…? Oh! I'm going to tie up the Vongola with my Dying Will. Kufufufu…" Mukuro smiled mockingly at Tsuna and walked towards his small form, straightening the rope with the full intent of intimidation.
Tsuna was very intimidated. "W-w-wait! It's not like that! I-I-I- HIIIIII!"
"I still can't believe he's the one who defeated us! Look at that! The Vongola's crying! Hahaha!"
Chikusa pushed up his glasses and stared up at Tsuna hanging from the ceiling by the rope tied around his torso. "Are we going to just leave him like this, Mukuro-sama?"
"Yeah." Mukuro smiled at Ken and Chikusa from his seat on the couch. "Unless the Arcobaleno has a problem with that."
"No problem here, Mukuro." Reborn smirked up at Tsuna. "It's always nice to see Tsuna 'tested' in different ways."
"AND HOW IS THIS A TEST?" Tsuna swung at the outburst and screamed in surprise at the sudden movement. "WAS THERE EVEN A POINT TO YOU EVEN GOING USING THE FOURTH PATH ANYWAY?"
Mukuro glanced up at Tsuna, his smile even more mocking. "To make the knot tighter."
"See if you can break out of that knot since your hands are free, No-Good Tsuna. I think I'll make this a test of brute strength."
Tsuna groaned and slumped. He looked at Ken who was now talking animatedly at Mukuro and Chikusa who spoke up when Ken decided to pause to take a breath. His brown eyes shifted to Mukuro. A small smile had formed on his lips as he listened to the two (Tsuna dared to think that Mukuro smiled at them with contentment). Tsuna suddenly remembered his 'mission', and slid his camera into his hands and focused it on Mukuro. Mukuro glanced at Tsuna and sighed, smile never wavering.
"I'll allow you to take a picture of me, just this once Sawada Tsunayoshi."
Click!
Tsuna lowered the camera. "Th-thank you, Muku-" Bang! "HIIIIII!" Tsuna fell to the ground with thud. "Ow ow ow ow…" Tsuna looked up as Reborn walked in front of him, gun formed and smoking from being fired.
"We got the picture, we're leaving. Get up, No-Good Tsuna."
Tsuna grumbled under his breath and recollected himself. Tsuna headed toward the exit as Reborn jumped on his shoulder.
"Sawada Tsunayoshi."
Tsuna stopped in midstep and hesitantly turned to Mukuro's smiling face. Mukuro smiled wider.
"When I possess your body and find that my complexion looks bad in that picture, your body is going to hell with me."
Tsuna ran out of Kokuyo Land without looking back.
Rokudo Mukuro is (finally) finished! Hopefully in character too.
So while this had been done for a few days now, my brother decided to watch Reborn! with me and became determined to catch up with me. (He's nearing the end of the Vongola Guardian Succession Filler Arc.) But, eh, I get to rewatch Reborn! so all's well! Anywho, Hibari Kyoya is up next! (I know this is the one you guys have been waiting for. XD)
So sorry for mistakes and please review!
