Chapter 7: The Ira Of The Bucking Bronco!
"Dino-san? I-Is something—hiiih!" Tsuna cried out in fear before being tackled back again and rolled to the side when Dino struck out at him with his whip, not seeming to care that it was aimed at a friend—at him.
"Boss! Please don't just sit in harm's way!" Chrome gasped out as she rolled him to safety before pulling him to his feet. Frowning lightly, she turned to face the angry blonde again, her trident appearing out of nowhere. "I'll cast an illusion to confuse him. Boss, please—"
"C-Chrome-san?" Tsuna made himself focus when the girl gasped in pain, bringing her hands to her head.
"I-I'm okay." She mumbled softly before clutching her weapon and casting an illusion of darkness around Dino then grabbing Tsuna's hand and running.
"W-Whaa!" Tsuna squawked as he stumbled along for a few step before getting the rhythm, dragged back toward the town. Something was wrong. Gokudera, Yamamoto, Hibari, Ryohei, Haru, and Dino! Also Chrome had something trying to possess her subconscious! Could—could it all be related? "Chrome—ack!"
He winced slightly as he was suddenly shoved into some grass. Pushing himself to sit up, he saw why when he took in Chrome standing in front of him, trident held out like a shield with Dino's whip wrapped around it.
"Chrome-san!" He gasped in worry. The two people less likely to fight each other ever and here they were. For what? Why?
"I—I'm sorry! My illusion wasn't strong enough!" The girl apologized quickly as she struggled to keep her hands around her weapon as the angry Italian tried to pull it away.
"Dino-san! Why are you—" Tsuna pushed himself to his feet. He couldn't let Chrome fight for him.
"Boss! What are you doing?"
Curious eyes turned to see Romario and some of Dino's other men coming toward them with surprise. They didn't know what was happening either? Wait! If they were here now...that would just make Dino stronger!
"Ah! R-Romario-san! Please go ba—" Tsuna tried to call hastily until Chrome's scream caught his attention.
Looking to where she was he, he saw her clutching her head again while gasping harshly.
"Chro—" Tsuna tried to get to her side only to be stopped by Dino's whip nearly hitting him. He had to lead Dino away from Chrome! And his family. Then he could...maybe he could— "Romario-san! Please leave Dino-san to me! I promise I won't let anything happen to him!"
Romario looked hesitant for a long moment before nodding and slowly backing off.
"Heh, you think you're a match for me, little brother?" Dino smirked with cold amusement. It wasn't like him at all.
Tsuna ignored the shudder that raced down his spine. He had to lead Dino away, to weaken him. then use his dying will to do whatever it took to end this! About to put his half-formed little plan into action, he was instead halted when Chrome caught his eye. She was now trembling with a pained expression.
"Chrome-san! Are you—" Tsuna's brows furrowed with worry.
"I-It's getting—Mukuro-sama, please don't—" She didn't get to finish before she suddenly collapsed.
Tsuna wanted to run to her side but was discouraged when he saw the somewhat familiar mist and felt him. His presence was still as ominous as ever and it made every hair stand on end and an anxious feeling bloom in his stomach. Why was he taking over now? Was Chrome okay?
"Tsunayoshi-kun…"
He couldn't explain it. When he heard that voice say his name, shivers tickled his spine and caused fear to overwhelm him and that fear made him bolt. Mukuro was not quite normal to begin with and if there was something that would make him act weird like the others, he really didn't want to deal with him at the moment.
He could feel Dino chase after him. Great. Now he had to think fast on how to— "Ack!"
Tsuna cried out in surprise, attempting to flap his arms around wildly in hopes of regaining his balance but, instead, he tumbled head first down a small grassy hill. Where the hell was he? Quickly rolling to his feet when he landed he looked around and tried to get his bearings only to be suddenly pinned back into the grass by a heavy body.
"Why do you run Tsuna? It only makes me mad." Dino growled lowly into his ear.
Insanity! Tsuna opened his mouth to question his senpai only to watch him suddenly throw himself to the side in order to avoid an attack.
"Kufufu...what do we have here?"
Tsuna turned to see Mukuro walking toward him. He didn't look any different just like the others, but he could feel...actually feel something was off. "Mukuro-san—what happened to Chrom—"
"Do not worry about my precious Chrome, dear Vongola." Mukuro answered with a smile, eyes trained on the angry Dino. "I do not understand what is going on but I am afraid I cannot allow you to harm Tsunayoshi-kun, My Little Pony. That is a privilege only I shall have."
Tsuna was rightly offended at Mukuro's statement as he watched the hellion attack the enraged blonde. Why was this happening? And to him? "Mukuro! Stop! Dino-san is—"
He watched in horror as the blonde was struck hard in the stomach before collapsing to the ground, unconscious. When Mukuro raised his trident as if to stab the older male, Tsuna tackled him away, landing half on the illusionist as they hit the ground. Panting with fear and adrenaline, Tsuna pushed himself up before staring down into mismatched eyes.
"Mukuro, Chrome-san said something was trying to possess your minds. Tell me! What is—" Tsuna grunted as he was suddenly flipped and pressed into the grass, Mukuro's body pinning him down uncomfortably.
"So brave to stare danger in the face like that...or maybe it's stupidity." Mukuro smirked before lowering his face to the stunned brunette's. "I suddenly find myself green, Tsunayoshi-kun and you are the cause. Such a pathetic creature with a power you don't even know how to properly use."
A small frown found its way to his features when a cold gloved hand stroked the side of his cheek. He blinked up into the red and blue eyes with confusion. Green? What was he talking about? "G-Get off..."
"Not until I have..." Mukuro trailed off, drawing closer.
Tsuna realized too late what Mukuro was going to do. He tried to turn away but again his lips were captured by another's. Mukuro's kiss was different, it was forced, like Hibari's, but it didn't try to possess him—it tried to quash something inside of him it seemed. When a forceful tongue tried to enter his mouth, he whimpered until a sudden feeling of cold fury made him tense.
"Today you die."
Mukuro was ripped from him has a black blur kicked the crazy teen into a tree. Before he could move to sit up on his own two strong hands gripped his arms tightly and yanked him somewhat painfully to his feet.
"O-Ow—w-what—" Tsuna groaned as he was silenced by another kiss—fourteen years of his life, nothing! One crazy day that makes absolutely no sense—more than he wants! Ugh! When he struggled to pull free, a hand fisted in his hair pulled him back so annoyed steel blue eyes met his.
"Do not tell me you prefer his touch." Hibari hissed, his cold fury getting chillier.
"N-No! Of course not!" Tsuna bit his tongue when he almost added he didn't want either of them to kiss him. Angry and unstable? He really couldn't handle Hibari like that.
He didn't bother to resist when he was pulled in for another kiss. He didn't refuse when a hot tongue sought entrance, his cheeks turning red. And he wouldn't admit it, but he was actually relieved when Mukuro got to his feet and Hibari pushed him aside to charge his fellow Guardian.
He knew he shouldn't allow them to fight but, well, if Reborn wanted them to stop he could stop them himself! Nodding his head in complete agreement with his thoughts he then allowed his attention to wander to Dino. Walking over slowly he thought he should make sure the older male was okay. Just as he was about to kneel next to the blonde, Mukuro went flying past, landing against a tree a few feet away.
"Tsunayoshi! Take care of Chrome!" The Mist Guardian gasped before he was engulfed in his element, Chrome reappearing when it settled.
Hearing the rustle of grass, Tsuna turned to see Hibari still approaching. His heart sank. Was he going to attack—?
"Hibari-san, stop!" Tsuna cried out as he flung himself toward the girl, shielding her with his body.
"Move Tsunayoshi." The prefect growled.
"No." Tsuna ground out defiantly, though his body trembled a little.
Hibari shuddered as he closed his eyes and seemed to pray for patience. When he opened them again he fixed the smaller teen with a heated stare before reaching down and pulling him from the girl.
"Don't hurt her—t-take...take me instead!" Tsuna whimpered at his words that were braver than he actually felt.
He was given a hard look before his request seemed to be accepted. He gasped as his wrist was seized and tugged to follow the disciplinarian.
"Hiiih! W-Where are we going? I have to make sure Dino-san and Chrome-san are—" Tsuna tried to pull free, worried for his friends. He couldn't leave them—where were they?
Looking around, he frowned when he didn't recognize the area but it had to be close to his house, so... Blinking, a surprised expression took over when he was pulled into the sanctuary of a large weeping willow. There were such trees here—
He tripped a little as he was pulled against Hibari's warm body when the taller male suddenly stopped. "Let me feel you."
He didn't get to process that fully before warm lips were pressed to his then trailed along his cheek, down to his neck. He blushed and tried not to fidget when it tickled a little, unsure of how to go about safely refusing. He didn't notice his shirt being unbuttoned again until he felt the warm lips touch the bare skin of his collarbone and chest.
Gasping, he tried to pull away only to have a strong hand on his back stop him as sharp teeth bit into the flesh of his shoulder. It hurt so much he was sure it would leave a mark—mark? Chrome! What if it was related? Ceasing his struggle, he sighed silently in relief when Hibari released him and licked the bite gently. It tickled and made his body tingle a little. Taking a deep breath he brought trembling hands to the front of Hibari's shirt and fumbled with a button.
"I-I want to see you..." Tsuna stuttered, trying to sound sincere. If he had a mark would it be where Chrome's was?
Hibari stared at him for a second, making him blush darkly, before allowing him his task, busying himself with light kisses along the smaller teen's pale neck, his hands moving to run along his back and the flesh of his...
Tsuna blushed more. He didn't want to think about Hibari grabbing his butt! Too awkward! And it made it hard to concentrate! He almost cried with relief when he managed to get all of the buttons undone. Pushing it from the prefect's shoulders he was disappointed to see nothing by his shoulder. About to pull away he was instead pulled closer before he was pushed back again, pinned down to the grass.
"H-Hibari-san! What are—" Tsuna froze as Hibari straddled his waist, sitting on him. There! On his side, along his ribs was— "Hibari-san, what happened to your side?"
Curious fingers touched the mark, turning Hibari's attention to it. He didn't even seem to know realize he had it until now. It was like Chrome's, so were they really connected? The thing trying to possess Chrome and Mukuro, did Hibari have it too? And everyone else?
"Hi—Hibari-san! Please! I need to talk to Reborn!" Tsuna pleaded as he tried to wiggle free, mentally adding he needed to check on his Mist Guardian and Dino.
Hibari silently climbed off of him, totally engrossed with the mark on his side. Sensing the distraction, Tsuna used that to his advantage to get away. Fixing his clothes as he ran, he went back to find that Chrome and Dino were no longer where he had left him. Intuition told him Reborn. With that in mind he made his way back home.
"Reborn!" He called out the second he stepped foot inside, kicking his shoes off.
"Ah! Welcome home, Tsu-kun!" His mother called from the kitchen.
"I'm home!" He called belatedly before running up to his room. He found Reborn napping in his hammock, eyes wide open and snot bubble blowing in and out.
He chewed his lip nervously for a moment as he debated before figuring it would be worth it.
"REBORN!" He called out loudly one minute only to find the Leon-gun pointed at his forehead the next. Pushing the object away he glared at his tutor. "Ryohei and Gokudera-kun—all of them! They are related, aren't they! I saw the marks on Chrome and Hibari! And where are Chrome and Di—"
"Speaking of marks, what about yours?" Reborn asked as he scanned his student's disheveled state. He really hadn't expected him to get 'lust'.
"Eh? What do you—" Gasping, he shot a hand to the collar of his shirt when he noticed Reborn staring at his neck. Hibari! He hadn't seen the damage the other had done yet. "N-Nothing..."
"Has Hibari found a new way to bite you, then?" The Mafioso teased, watching as Tsuna turned beet red.
"R-Reborn! Tell me what you're hiding! You know what's going on! I know you do!" The young Vongola growled, glaring again.
"Forgive them Tsuna, for your friends have sinned." Reborn replied after a brief staring—well, Tsuna continued to glare—contest.
"Eh? Sinned? What are you talking—" Tsuna blinked, thoroughly confused.
"Figure it out, Dame-Tsuna. Or it will only get worse." Reborn advised before leaving the room.
Tsuna could only stare blankly after the infant. Huh?
