Chapter 6 ~ Missing
Gokudera groaned as his eyelids fluttered open. Beside him, Yamamoto snored loudly. And suddenly an even louder snore shook Gokudera wide awake. He hissed in anger. Yamamoto slowly sat up, rubbing his eyes while stretching his stiff body. Ryohei, well… just continued sleeping.
Gokudera slowly stood up and made his way to the bathroom to wash his face. Yamamoto was still sitting, half-asleep. Soon, his body started bending sideways as he fell asleep once again.
Gokudera stifled a yawn as he crossed the hallway towards the bathroom. However, someone or something stood in his way. He frowned and glared at the girl in front of him. He then growled sleepily, "Move."
Chrome shook her head, her pineapple-styled hair bobbing slightly and asked softly, "Have you seen Boss?"
'Why would this girl wants to see Jyuudaime?' Gokudera thought angrily before replying, "Isn't he upstairs?"
Chrome shook her head.
"He's not there? Then…the bathroom?"
Chrome shook her head again.
Gokudera listed out many places he could think off and Chrome just brushed it off with a shake of her head. Soon enough, a half-impatient Chrome interrupted Gokudera's ranting of the places his beloved Jyuudaime would be at. "He's nowhere to be found. I looked for him everywhere."
"And why do you want to see him?" Gokudera demanded, a slight hint of anger creeping into his voice.
Chrome flinched before looking up at him and hesitantly replied, "Mukuro-sama warned me that something might had happened to Boss."
"That pineapple head? I don't believe anything that guy says."
Chrome then reluctantly (half because of Gokudera's insult towards Mukuro) took out a white envelope. "I found this on Boss' bed. It has a scary vibe."
'Scary vibe, huh? She can even feel that?' Gokudera thought as he half-snatched it and ripped open the envelope that held the letter. He scanned through it with trained eyes and as he read it, his eyes started to widen in shock. He hurriedly thrusted the letter to the confused girl who in turn read it and reacted the same.
"Wake up everyone now!" Gokudera snapped at the wide-eyed Chrome. "I'm gonna go outside and see if he's around. This letter might be a prank."
"But…" Chrome protested but Gokudera had already run down the stairs, three at a time. He kicked open the front door and ran out onto the road. (P.S. He's still wearing his pyjamas)
Chrome watched the Storm Guardian as he ran across the streets to find his boss. Chrome then realized the urgency of the situation and quickly scurried away to wake the guardians up. They all (after several attempts of shaking and one illusion) gathered at the kitchen, all in their pyjamas. They all stared at Chrome who slowly placed the letter on the table.
"Another letter? From Tsuna?" Nana asked in a worried tone.
Chrome shook her head and gestured towards the letter. "It's not from Boss. This time it's worse. Boss…" She trailed off, unable to finish her sentence.
"What's wrong with Tsuna?" Yamamoto broke in, his voice surprisingly sharp and clear although a moment ago, he could only mumble incoherent words.
Chrome hesitated for a moment before opening her mouth, "Boss had been…."
Meanwhile, Gokudera had been running through the entire Namimori but still couldn't find any traces of his boss. He slowly trudged back towards the Sawada residence when suddenly a familiar voice broke in Gokudera's gloom.
Gokudera turned around expectantly, hoping to find his boss beside the voice. However, there was no Jyuudaime smiling there, only a certain arcobaleno.
"What's going on?' Reborn asked quietly.
"Jyuudaime..he…he" Gokudera stammered, unable to break the news.
"Dame-Tsuna did what?" Reborn asked dangerously, cocking his gun as a warning.
Gokudera gulped and cried out, "Jyuudaime had been kidnapped! By the Calsca family!"
Reborn pulled his fedora to conceal his eyes as he leapt on top on Gokudera's head, "Hurry home."
"Is it a prank, Reborn-san?" Gokudera asked out of the blue.
"You were born in a Mafia lineage. Surely you've heard of them before and they are not the type to play pranks." Reborn told the bombthrower in a serious tone.
In awkward silence, Gokudera returned with Reborn on his head to the awfully quiet house despite the crisis they were facing now.
Suddenly, loud shouts could be heard from the house. They were in an uproar. 'Perhaps that pineapple girl told them already. Saves me a lot of trouble.' Gokudera thought, scowling slightly.
When they reached the source of the uproar, they were greeted by hysterical girls, shocked boys plus naïve children who couldn't put their hand on what's happening. Suddenly, Lambo bounded towards Gokudera and yelled. "Hey, hey, Bakadera! Tsuna got kidnapped! Gyahahaha!"
"Of course I know that, you dumb cow! And it's not a good thing!" shouted Gokudera as he punched the head of the mini-cow.
Lambo whimpered and clutched his smoking, injured head. "Gotta…stay…calm.." With that, he started bawling his eyes out, refusing to stop even with sweet temptations from his favourite Maman.
Reborn was getting even more pissed off with every wail that emitted from the idiot's mouth. He took out his useful Leon-hammer and once again silenced Lambo with it. (I bet you know what happened) Lambo fell into a deep, deep sleep.
"Okay. Back to business." Reborn stated, influencing the other occupants in the room with his be-serious-or-you'll-end-up-like-that-cow aura, instantly in business mode.
"Gokudera, read the letter for me." Reborn commanded the silver-haired boy. Gokudera nodded as he wore his spectacles and started reading it out loud:
'Vongola,
We have Vongola Decimo in our custody. Why are we doing this? For vengeance. Your boss is with us in out mansion at Italy. If you want to find him, please do. As they say, 'the more, the merrier'.
Calsca'
"Calsca?" What's that? Never heard of them before." Yamamoto said, scratching his head, confusion evident in his face.
Gokudera glared daggers at him but abruptly stopped when Reborn started speaking. "Whatever the case is, we are in deep trouble now."
Tsuna opened his eyes and found himself greeted by darkness. He groaned but it came out as a muffle. He struggled to move but found that he was tied, sitting on a chair. His mouth was covered with something.
Suddenly, he heard a voice, "My,my…Looks like our sleeping beauty over here has woken up."
Tsuna hissed and gritted his teeth in frustration. Of all people, why must he be kidnapped by them?
"Long time no see, Vongola Decimo." The voice said, laced with amusement. "I didn't expect us to be reunited with you in that state."
Tsuna struggled with all his might. However, his efforts were deemed unsuccessful.
"Untie him. Only his eyes and mouth. I want to see that defiant eyes again." The voice commanded. Tsuna felt the blindfold slip off and his mouth was free from that disgusting 'something'.
He looked up in anger and hissed in a cold voice, "Xavier Calsca. Fancy meeting you here."
Xavier spreaded his arms and declared, "Welcome to the Calsca Mansion, Vongola Decimo, my rival at school and everywhere else. Please enjoy your stay here." With that, he left the room.
Tsuna growled in anger and shouted, "How am I supposed to enjoy myself when I'm tied up?"
Tsunayoshi
'What?' Tsuna snapped, his anger reaching its limit. Fancy meeting his archenemy from school right here.
Let me teach that Calsca brat a little something
Tsuna pondered for a moment and finally surrendered. 'All yours, Giotto. All yours.'
Hello, people! Enjoyed it? Omg, I loved KHR's latest chapter when Lambo confesses about his feeling to Tsuna. OMG, he's so damn cute, right, xXDarkangelx? Well, anyway, see ya guys next time. ;D
