Hi! Sorry for not updating for how long? I lost count...
Chapter Four: Technology Breakthrough.
"Why are you choosing this place out of all place you could go?" Giotto asked to Tsunayoshi.
He is puzzled why, in the middle of summer vacation, instead of going to the beach like his guardians do, he chose to go to a science fair...
He know that Tsunayoshi is a lover of science and things like that... But he was also sure that he wouldn't miss the time to have some fun with his guardians...
Tsunayoshi just smirked, "A visit..."
"To who?" Giotto asked again.
"An old friend." Tsunayoshi stated as he opened the door to a room.
Inside the room, two kids in the same age with Tsunayoshi looked like making some sort of machine.
Upon hearing the door opened, the red head turned around, "Who-"
"Long time no see, Shoichi, Spanner." Tsunayoshi stated as he stared at both of them.
"Aaahh! Tsunayoshi-kun!" Shoichi exclaimed.
"Hey hey, is it that surprising to see me here?" Tsunayoshi asked, sweat-dropping.
"By the way, Tsunayoshi-kun, do you know someone called Byakuran?" Shoichi asked.
An image of the laughing albino munching marshmallow appeared in his mind.
"Ah... that fucker..." Tsunayoshi said, twitching.
"I took you two are in not a really good term?" Spanner asked.
"In some way it is, in some way, it's not, I owe him one..." Tsunayoshi muttered.
"What do you mean?" Shoichi asked.
"And that's not something I will tell you." Tsunayoshi stated.
Spanner stared at him for a while before asking, "You didn't come here just to say that right?"
Tsunayoshi smirked, "Of course I didn't, though... One person is missing."
"Himemiya? Haven't seen him for at least a year." Shoichi stated.
Tsunayoshi just smirked, "Just as I thought, that person is probably messing around in somewhere which isn't his territory."
"What do you mean?" Shoichi asked.
"Teehee~, that's very mean of you to say that, I'm only going around with Byakuran after all~" A voice stated.
"No wonder he liked you so much, Himemiya, you two are just really alike in personality, though his morality is even more questionable than yours." Tsunayoshi stated.
"That's coming from you? I found you a hypocrite." The voice of Himemiya stated.
"Oh really? Since when I even have any morale base to begin with?" Tsunayoshi asked, as his eyes flashed orange for a second and the air in the room get colder for at least 10 degrees.
"True." Then, the window opened to reveal a brunette with green eyes and tall figures sitting in the balcony.
"With all of you gathered here... I think I could began the... meeting, maybe?" Tsunayoshi asked, and the other three occupants in the room is relieved when the temperature of the room returned to normal.
"Did you remember when we first met each other?" Tsunayoshi asked.
"At the Science Fair in Tokyo, at that time, you bump into all three of us in pure coincidence and also because of the fact that none of us three could see you due to your height... Though, growth is a scary thing..." Shoichi recited.
"We bumped to at least 35 other person there, yet you're the only one who care to give a hand." Spanner side, rubbing his chin.
"And not to mention, we met each other too many times from then and became good friends." Himemiya stated.
"Good, well, the thing is... I have something to offer to you three, interested to hear me out?"Tsunayoshi asked.
"It would be the end of the world if you didn't have anything interesting with you." Himemiya stated.
"Tricky guy you are Himemiya, no wonder Byakuran go as far as personally come to me for you." Tsunayoshi said.
"I enjoy my time with him, he is as full of surprise as you." Himemiya stated.
"I took that as a compliment, really." Tsunayoshi said, "You probably already know about what I'm about to show though."
"I have an idea..." Himemiya stated, while the two other occupant just stared at the two.
"Then, you're right, Princess." Tsunayoshi said while Himemiya just pouted.
"Very well my friends, look closely, after all, there wouldn't be any repeat performance." Tsunayoshi stated as he spread his arms and closed his eyes.
Then, he opened his eyes and the entire room has already been covered in orange colored flames.
"What?!" Shoichi exclaimed in panic.
"It didn't burn." Spanner stated as he observed the flames.
"Such a good observer you are." Tsunayoshi stated as he crossed his arms.
"Let me guess, you are proposing us to came with you... and you want us to studying this flame?" Spanner asked.
"Well, it's bulleyes, beside, I wouldn't come here if I'm not sure that you would say yes, so?" Tsunayoshi asked.
In truth, he actually has to hurry things up, as a certain skylark is waiting for him in the beach, waiting for him to come and began their sparring, after all, he wouldn't let up anything when it come to fight, even in vacation.
He only comply to his wish is just because he has nothing better to do in weekend and being chased around by him asking him to fight is annoying.
He couldn't say he didn't enjoy it though...
"Do you think we will let a rare chance like this pass?" Shoichi asked.
"I took that as a yes." Tsunayoshi smirked.
"Hell yeah."
LATER...
"You are late." Hibari stated.
"Your way of killing time is rather violent huh?"
Apparently, when he arrived at the beach, Hibari is waiting... with mountain of people near him.
"At least you didn't kill anything but time, though." Tsunayoshi stated.
"I would if you keep me waiting anymore, Tsunayoshi."
"What with the sour mood?"
"Kufufufu~, the skylark here is pissed because you are late and apparently, someone took his portion of shredded ice."
"Hn."
"Seriously?"
"Of course, Kufufufufu~"
"I see, you have a thing for sweet beverages."
"Shut up."
"Ah, Himemiya is getting into me again, crap, he is extra pissed now..."
"Flame, use now."
"Oh great."
And at the next day, the beach is already in ruin...
"See, I told you it's a bad idea to tease him."
"Never thought it's going to be that bad..."
"At least he is now had been pacified, in an ice."
"I propose us to make it into shredded ice."
"..."
"Or we could just smash him like the frozen flowers in the movies."
"Or we could get him out, prepare something warm and let him rest."
"I think the last one is the best idea for now..."
"Note the for now."
"Loophole..."
"A word contain a very strong power if being used in the right way, just like how-"
"Please don't, it's troublesome enough that your IQ reached 190 Point, it would be even more troublesome if you has that old habit of yours acting up again."
"Ah... sorry about that, meeting an old friend.. make some old habit to resurface..."
"Who?"
"You will find out soon."
None of them like that smirk in Tsunayoshi's face, except a certain someone..
"Kufufufu~, I'm looking forward for it."
Chapter End.
In case you're curious of how Tsunayoshi met Byakuran... I'm working on a spin-off for it, just wait the next chapter.
