"Italian"
G scowled as he looked at the distant town. He was in the back of a car and was still almost an hour away. He didn't have the ideas and feelings of his boss but he was sure something was going down soon.
Asari smiled good naturedly at his friend before he said in Italian, "Giotto won't be stupid to go there alone. But even if he did he wouldn't get far without Knuckles dragging him back and make him wait for us."
"Yeah but he can still be an idiot at times." G snapped back in Italian as he shot a glare over at Asari.
Asari just shook his head and looked out his window as they waited for the town to come into view. He was anxious too but he didn't want to say it a loud since G did enough worrying for the both of them.
Tsuna clawed at the floor underneath him as he felt Tsunayoshi lean into his forehead. He didn't scream as a hand clamped over his mouth and stifled it. Small tears came out of the corner of his eyes and he bucked as he felt Tsunayoshi settle into his body.
The door burst open right as Tsuna sat up. He looked over to the door with a bored expression and eyes a little darker then his father's. The people faltered in fear at the piercing eyes on them from the once wimpy kid. They pressed forward though as they thought Tsuna couldn't be that strong even if he did change his eye colour.
"How bothersome. I thought that I wouldn't have to deal with 15 people." Tsuna muttered as he shook the ropes off of his wrists and stood with a relaxed posture.
"You little-" One of the men started to say.
He cut off as Tsuna was suddenly in front of him and his collar balled in Tsuna's hands. He paled as he backed his face away in fear.
"I hate when I hear language like that." Tsunayoshi said as he brought the guys face down and his knee to meet it. The other 14 people finally snapped out of their stupor and surged forward.
Two people dragged the fallen leader away and the other 11 surrounded Tsunayoshi with an arrangements of weapons and bare hands. Tsunayoshi looked around in a bored manner before shrugging and smirking in a predatory fashion.
"At least I'll be able to have some fun for a little while."
Tsunayoshi blocked the punch aimed at his side and twisted the knuckle so there was a loud snap echoing through the room. He attacked the spot where the solar plexus was as his smirk deepened in satisfaction as the man fell, gasping in pain.
Tsunayoshi dodged around a steel pipe and grabbed it to keep it from hitting the ground. He hip checked the man before wrenching the pipe forward so the man regained his balance. He then brought his heel and kicked the chin, knocking the man unconscious.
Two people came at Tsunayoshi this time. He dodged around the kick but he wasn't able to fully dodge the knife that just nicked his side. He grunted and reeled his foot back in a donkey kick, knocking the man with the knife off balance. Tsunayoshi kicked at the one already on the ground from failing to kick him and hit him hard enough to knock him out.
Tsunayoshi jumped away from the fray and panted as he leaned forward. He quickly straightened out and lit the dormant Sky flames onto his fists and forehead. He surprised most of the people in the room except one. They all quickly recovered though as they decided to surge forward and attack as a whole.
Tsunayoshi groaned as he didn't feel like making an effort anymore. He cracked his neck though and got into a defensive position as the first guy came into swinging distance. He blocked the sword and levelled his eyes with somebody he was sure he knew quite well.
Before he could think any further he felt somebody behind him. Before he could attack a knife was pressed against his throat hard enough to draw a thin line of blood. It trailed down his neck and dripped onto the floor but Tsuna was more worried about who was behind him.
"Looks like we finally corralled you." The man said as he wrapped an arm around Tsunayoshi's waist to keep him from trying anything.
"What a bore. You didn't let me do anything fun." Tsunayoshi said as he looked back as much as he could. "...Byakuran."
Byakuran rested his chin on Tsunayoshi's left shoulder and smiled wickedly. "Looks like you found out. Millefiore was getting strong and I decided that getting the candidate for Vongola tenth was the perfect opportunity to be the strongest!"
"As vain as ever." Tsunayoshi rolled his eyes a he looked at Byakuran. "Mind letting me go? I don't like when people get in my personal space."
"I don't feel like it. I also am getting paid for this. But enough of that, why don't we just wait for your father before we do anything?"
"I don't have a father." Tsunayoshi spat out angrily. "Tsuna has one but I'm just a part of him that was unleashed from a bullet."
"Do you know why you were shot though?"
"No, why would I know? I assume that it was because Tsuna's the Ninth boss' son. The Calcassa wanted Vongola's next generation gone before it even started so Tsuna had to get out of the way."
"Nope! Giotto lied to you about that."
"What do you mean Giotto lied? The Calcassa family shot Tsuna when he was five and I was born because of it."
"That was only a partial truth. The full truth is that Estrangeo, before they were almost taken out by Mukuro, shot Tsuna. Your father knew right away what happened but kept it from you as Estrangeo would eventually come back for you. And today's the day!"
"Stop lying!" Tsunayoshi snapped at Byakuran who just giggled again. "Giotto was telling the truth and I know it!"
"He was lying to you. Estrangeo has now come back to take their greatest test subject with the help of the Millefiore." Byakuran suddenly dug the knife in deeper making Tsunayoshi gasp and blood to flow a little more.
"If Estrangeo want me so bad," Tsunayoshi choke out as he clenched his hands, "Why are they letting you attempt murder? You seem to be trying to slit my throat."
"That's true. But I am not applying enough pressure to kill you just yet. But I could snap your neck if I felt like it."
"So you would risk the life of the tenth boss candidate? I thought you were getting payed to get me."
"Oh I am. But I also feel like taking you myself. That would work just as well."
Tsunayoshi rolled his eyes, he hated people who were this arrogant. He didn't think much about it though because he raised his hands and pressed them against Byakuran's arm holding the knife.
Byakuran gasped and let Tsunayoshi go. Tsunayoshi rolled out of the grasp and sat on his knees while he regained his breath. The two glared each other down as Tsunayoshi rubbed his neck.
"Not applying enough pressure my ass. You were choking me and you know it." Tsunayoshi spat out as he cough and wheezed.
"Well what can I say? I love what people look like when they are suffocated. It's a great feeling to see the life drain out of their eyes and them glare one last final time in contempt." Byakuran grinned a devilish grin and giggled maniacally.
"How did I know you were going to say that? And stop laughing, it's creepy as always."
"Oh boo-hoo. Anyways, why don't we continue where we started?" Byakuran took a step forward prompting Tsuna to shuffle back on his knees.
"How about you leave me and my vessel alone. It's simple enough to do."
"And easier to say. But I like to play with my targets before I finally take them. So let's play a while as we wait for your father to come!"
"Why do you want to wait for Giotto to come? It's not like he'll be able to do anything more."
"Ah, you're quite mistaken. But enough talk." Byakuran suddenly charged forward and struck at the cut on Tsunayoshi's side.
Tsunayoshi jumped back just in time but realized the hit was a decoy as Byakuran kicked him in the chest, pushing him back to the ground.
He spat out some blood and wiped his lip with a finger. He glared but shot forward and tackled Byakuran to the ground, pinning Byakuran underneath him. Byakuran didn't back down though as he flipped they're positions and trapped Tsunayoshi's hands above his head in one hand.
Tsunayoshi struggled to get out but it wasn't working as Byakuran just sat on his knees and held him in place. Byakuran smiled as he gripped tighter and brought the knife down onto Tsunayoshi's cheek, tracing the cheek bone and making a cut in the skin.
"This is too creepy. Stop it." Tsunayoshi said as he tried to head butt Byakuran and try to get him off.
It didn't work as Byakuran just smiled even more and slashed down the corner of Tsunayoshi's mouth, making him pinch his face in discomfort and anger. "Why would I stop? I'm just wasting time."
Tsunayoshi didn't say anything as he spit the blood at Byakuran's face in disdain. Byakuran didn't even flinch as he just pinned the knife through one of Tsuna's hands and sat back. Byakuran admired his work as he saw the conflict going on behind Tsunayoshi's eyes.
They fluctuated between brown, orange, and then back to brown again as he watched. He was curious but didn't say anything as he just stared in curiosity.
Byakuran smirked happily as he heard foot steps behind him and Giotto calling out Tsuna's name.
Oh god. I really didn't think that it'd turn out like this. I didn't mean to but this just sort of...happened.
