Surprise
The next day, we all met over at Tsuna's house to prepare for our assault on Kokuyo Land. The only weapons I took were a cheap ass double edged sword. I wasn't going to use my best sword for cockroaches. From the way everyone was acting, a person would've thought we were going on a picnic; Takeshi had even brought food and drinks.
Unfortunately, we didn't get to try the sushi. Damn MM, I'm going to get her for that. She's lucky she just had Bianchi to deal with. I wouldn't have killed, but I would have fed her Bianchi's Poison Cooking and added some Varia trained attacks.
After the situation with Birds, I don't remember much. All I know is if I see the bastard again, he won't live another day for involving Kyoko and Haru in this. It's pathetic how Gokudera took Birds out with one, half hearted kick to the face.
The man that claimed to be Rokudo Mukuro wasn't him. From what I understand of the descriptions of him, he struck me as the kind of person who wouldn't let anyone photograph him, also, Mukuro seemed like someone around my age, and this guy was at least twenty. I was still fourteen years old, but everyone else was fifteen; my birthday is December 31.
For some reason, I recognized him, but where, I couldn't remember just yet.
When he brought out his giant mace/ball, I remembered: Lancia, the strongest man in Northern Italy. Takeshi had already been hit, back up and figured out the secret behind Lancia's attack. The grooves in the ball twisted the air currents, causing anything close to them to be pulled in, and hit.
Just after Takeshi said it, Lancia threw the ball again, and I felt the air currents. The pressure was crazy, even with the sword stuck in the ground as an anchor; I was still getting pulled in.
"Karen!" Takeshi yelled,
"Crap!" I was stuck with the ball coming at me for a direct hit, which would kill me if it hit. Crap. Crap. No way in heaven, earth or hell, am I going to break my promise to my brother to come home alive and in one piece. Using the anger as propulsion, I managed to get out of the way of the ball, but it still took out my arm. Laws of Nature 00001: if you get hit by a force stronger than you, you obviously go down with whatever part was hit. Pain lanced up my arm. It was broken by the ball and the momentum of the ball pulled me down. Without thinking, I tried to use my broken, right arm to stop the fall. Instead of just having a broken upper arm, I now had a broken hand and wrist with the broken upper arm bone. My arm buckled, and my head hit the concrete. Blackness engulfed me before I could feel the sharp, brutal pain of broken bones and cut nerves.
When I finally woke up again, Tsuna had kicked Mukuro's butt into Vendicare. No one had escaped unscathed, but Tsuna was in better shape than the rest of us and everyone was better than me, who had to stay in a full arm cast for a month or two. What fun. For the first time ever, I am intimidated by Hibari Kyoya. The bugger had been beaten to an inch of his life, and he fought Mukuro until he was unconscious, and I thought Xanxus was insane. Tsuna is crippled by muscle pain from the Rebuke Bullet, Takeshi has a cracked rib or two and Gokudera has finally started resting properly. I am the one who didn't fight a lot, and I'm the one with an injury that was going to take the better part of two months to heal! What kind of messed up world is this? Don't answer, I already know how messed up this world is; it has to be to have guys like Lussuria, Bel, Mukuro, and Xanxus. Of course my brother is somewhat messed up, but that is just because he wants to improve his swordsmanship.
If I had been with the Varia with this broken arm, I would've had to amputate it after giving Levi a couple knocks to the head. But I'm in Namimori with good friends, so I'm going to heal, and be back in top form.
