Lenkachu: H-how's it going guys? My name is-

USW: No. Enough. We need to introduce the chapter!

Len: Pineapples~

lazura: *Sigh* Len. Stop it.

USW: Alrighties. Here's chapter 12, a chapter that I know, some of you have been waiting for. :) So, after a quick disclaimer, please enjoy!

Tuna fishie: Hiee! They don't own Reborn at all! There! I said it! So don't shoot me, Reborn!

Reborn: Dame-Tsuna. You need to do better at this. How else will you become a great boss? *shoots him with the DWB*

Tuna: RE-BORN! *runs off to confess his undying love for Sakurako. Hahah~*

Chapter 12: Race to Dance with Steel

"With that said, your three minutes start now."

As soon as Reborn uttered those words, Aoyuki took off, with only a cloud of dust left in his trail.

Hm... if I remember properly, I left my skateboard by the entrance gate. Heh. No problem.

As Aoyuki dashed off to grab his skateboard, Reborn turned to Yamamoto, "You better get ready to start running too."

"Haha. Alright kid. See you Tsuna!" Yamamoto ran out of the room at Reborn's signal.

Time left until capture: 3 minutes. Distance left: 1 Mile.

"Fufu~ Hey, Kura! Let's go watch Yuki run!" Kimiko got an evil glint in her eye.

"Kiki, are you going to do something evil again?"

"Yep, and you're going to help me. Come on! Let's go! Bye Tuna!"

Kimiko and Sakurako ran out of the room, leaving Tsuna, Chrome, Bianchi and Reborn with Gokudera and Ryohei's unconscious bodies.

"Hey, Dame-Tsuna. Watch them until they wake up." Reborn jumped onto Bianchi's shoulder and they left Tsuna and Chrome alone in the room.

"Boss. I'm going to go back to Kokuyo Land now." Chrome left the room.

"Ehh?! What should I do?! When is everyone going to come back?!" Tsuna ran around in circles panicking.

~Time Travel~
Time left before capture: 2 minutes, 47 seconds. Distance left: .82 miles.

Aoyuki passed through Namimori park as he continued to skateboard his way to the shrine.

Okay, at this point on, I should be able to make it to the shrine without being caught.

Suddenly, Kimiko and Sakurako popped out from behind a tree.

"Fufu~ Hey Yuki! Consider this revenge for your destroy-my-collection threats!" Kimiko yelled.

"I'm doing this only because you decided to chicken out on a fight with him." Sakurako stated.

Time left: 2 minutes 11 seconds. Distance left: .76 miles.

Trainers Kimiko and Sakurako wish to fight!

Trainer Kimiko sent out Giant Pineapple Illusions!

Trainer Sakurako sent out Star Sign Cancer!

Battle. ~Doo doo doo doo~

"Look! It's a pineapple and a tuna!" Aoyuki pointed in a random direction.

"What? Pineapple? Where?" Kimiko turned around.

Aoyuki's attack was super effective on Kimiko!

Sakurako sighed. "Tsuna's still at school and Kiki's pineapple is still in prison. That doesn't work on me, Yuki."

Aoyuki's attack was not very effective on Sakurako.

Time left: 1 minute 38 seconds. Distance left: .64 miles.

"Boo. Well it's my turn now. Fufu~"

"Eat pineapples!" A horde of pineapples flew towards Aoyuki.

Kimiko's attack missed. Or so Aoyuki thought, only to find out that the pineapples were following him.

Aoyuki stopped his skateboard and used Hi-jump Kick!

"Hey, Yuki! I didn't get a turn yet!" Sakurako protested.

"You get it now. Since you're both battling me, you only get one turn each. I have two. Rules of double battles, man." Aoyui reminded, while still hi-jump kicking the shit out of the flying pineapples.

Time left: 51 seconds. Distance left .43 miles.

"Sorry, but you really need to fight otherwise the battles that me and Kiki fought were all for nothing." Sakurako came closing in on Aoyuki and whacked him on the head.

"Ow! That hurt, you know!" Aoyuki cried out.

"Be thankful these are my paper fans since my steel fans are at home." Sakurako said.

Time left: 29 seconds. Distance left: .37 miles

Aoyuki kicked a tree, causing it to break and fall towards Kimiko and Sakurako, and used that time to escape on his skateboard..

Kimiko grabbed onto Sakurako and screamed at the sight of the falling tree. The soundwaves from her scream shattered the tree into smaller pieces which harmlessly fell around her and Sakurako.

"My gawd Kiki. Don't do that next to my ear." Sakurako looked dazed.

"Hey, Kimiko and Sakurako! Are you alright? I heard a scream!" Yamamoto came running up to them.

"Wow. You run fast. Yuki went that way." Kimiko pointed to the direction that Aoyuki ran, ignoring his question.

"You're not supposed to tell him which way I went!" Aoyuki yelled at them, not looking back.

"Well, sucks for you, Yuki! Come on, Kura! Let's chase him!" Kimiko grabbed Sakurako's arm.

"Just don't scream again." Sakurako's star sign appeared.

"Pisces!" Two giant flying fish appeared.

Kimiko and Sakurako got on the flying fishes.

"Rapid waters now." Sakurako incanted.

"Holy keyblade masters, help me! Stop those crazy people!" Aoyuki yelled at the sky.

"Come on, Yama-kun! Chase Yuki!" Kimiko yelled at Yamamoto.

"Haha! Alright then!" Yamamoto ran after Aoyuki.

"Fufu, let's go Kura!"

"Yeah. Full throttle Pisces." The two fish surged forward and flew after Aoyuki and Yamamoto.

"I'll help Yama-kun a bit. Fufu~" Kimiko giggled.

Suddenly, Slenderman appeared right next to Aoyuki. He screamed, jumped off his skateboard, and kicked Slenderman in the face.

"Oh my god, why Slenderman! Kimimi! You gave me a fricking heart attack!" Aoyuki clutched his chest and tried to catch his breath.

A hand landed on Aoyuki's shoulder.

"Haha! I guess I caught you, Yuki! That means we have to battle!" Yamamoto smiled.

"What... Eff. Damnit Kimimi. It's all your fault!" Aoyuki shook his fist at Kimiko and Sakurako, who jumped off of the flying fish and landed next to Aoyuki and Yamamoto.

"Too bad Aoyuki." Reborn suddenly landed on Yamamoto's shoulder. "The shrine was right there, too."

"Yup. He's a sadist alright." Sakurako stated.

"Reborn! Kimimi and Sakura interfered with the test!" Aoyuki protested.

Reborn smirked. "There wasn't a rule preventing that."

"In your face, Yuki! That's what you get! Fufu~" Kimiko laughed.

~At the top of Namimori Shrine~

"I wonder if I can run away..." Aoyuki muttered to himself.

Kimiko and Sakurako linked their arms to Aoyuki.

"Oh no you aren't. You're fighting him since we had to fight." Sakurako scolded.

"But! But! But! This is different! You don't actually have to fight your *ahem* you-knows." Aoyuki protested.

"Yeah. Cuz mine is in prison." Kimiko deadpanned. "Oh why?! Why does he have to be gone?!" She cried out.

"Well mine won't fight. Unless it has something important to do with his family." Sakurako pointed out.

"Gah! Let me go!" Aoyuki yelled while struggling hopelessly against Sakurako and Kimiko's armlock.

There's no way out of this, is there?

~Time Travel~
They were all standing in front of the shrine waiting for Reborn to appear and tell them the rules for the battle.

Kimiko made it rain pineapples everywhere to help set the mood.

"The heck?! Kiki! Stop that!" Sakurako scolded.

Kimiko then noticed that Aoyuki seemed out of focus and had pulled out an umbrella from no where.

"Hey, Yuki. You don't like pineapples, right?" Kimiko asked.

"Shuddap."

"Fufu~ That's what you get!" She stuck her tongue out.

"Yuki, are you sure you're okay?" Sakurako became worried.

"No, I'm not okay. Can I just sleep instead?" Aoyuki mumbled.

"No." Reborn stated as he landed on the ground with a parachute.

"Gah."

"Haha~ Hey kid! Are you going to tell us the rules for our battle now?" Yamamoto laughed.

"Yeah. The rules are the same from the previous fights, first to knock the other out first wins."

"Sigh. Any extra rules or limits guys?" Aoyuki asked, cracking his neck.

"Nope. Although, if you lose, I'm telling everyone your secret. Fufu~"

"W-what!? Kimimi! You can't do that! That punishment is completely mismatched with the other punishments!" Aoyuki stammered, his face completely red.

"Kiki, really?" Sakurako face palmed.

"He deserves it for threatening to destroy my collection! Besides I just happen to have a picture of him snuggling with a certain plushie~ Fufu~" Kimiko held up her phone.

"Fine! Just shut up already! I'll win, and then I'll break your phone!" Aoyuki turned to face Yamamoto. "Alright, ready man? Forgive me in advance for any pain I inflict on you." He settled into a calmer fighting stance.

"I'm ready when you are!" Yamamoto took out Shigure Kintoki.

"Battle start." Reborn announced.

"Shigure Souen Ryu Stance 1: Shajiku no Ame." Yamamoto charged at Aoyuki and thrusted the bladed towards Aoyuki.

Aoyuki countered by kicking the sword before it hit him.

"Haha~ I guess it's time." Yamamoto laughed.

"What." Aoyuki had a confused look.

Yamamoto charged directly at Aoyuki.

"Shoot." Aoyuki hissed and backed up a bit, "Ah. Forget it. This isn't worth it." He said, relaxing and standing up properly.

"What?" Yamamoto stopped somewhat close to Aoyuki.

"Hah. Just kidding." Aoyuki kicked Yamamoto into a tree, and Yamamoto lost consciousness.

"Yamamoto has been defeated. Aoyuki wins." Reborn announced with his Leon-bullhorn.

"What. Was that it?" Kimiko stared at the scene in disbelief.

"Yes." Aoyuki replied.

"Did Yama-kun forget to take his steroids today?" Kimiko asked.

"Well that was an easy win." Sakurako continued.

"That was anticlimactic." Kimiko deadpanned.

"This was the best possible solution to a fight without taking or dealing too much damage. Excuse me for being boring." Aoyuki sarcastically replied.

"Meh." Sakurako had a bored expression.

"I had to fight a crazy person! At least Yama-kun is somewhat normal." Kimiko objected.

"Yours isn't crazy. Just overly obsessed with everything being extreme." Aoyuki pointed out.

"At least you guys didn't have to face the hot head." Sakurako sighed.

"Tch. Whatever. So we're all done with our fights. What happens now?" Kimiko asked.

"I'll go take a look at Yamamoto and make sure he's alright." Bianchi walked over to the unconscious Yamamoto.

"Oh shit. I hurt him." Aoyuki finally realized.

"He's fine. He'll regain consciousness in a couple hours." Bianchi announced.

"Let's go back to school and see if the others have awakened." Reborn jet-packed towards the direction of the school.

"Hey, Yuki. Carry Yama-kun." Kimiko turned to Aoyuki.

"Huh?! Why me?" Aoyuki asked.

"Because me and Kiki can't carry him." Sakurako pointed out.

"Damn." Aoyuki swore.

~Time Travel to their arrival at school~

Kimiko and Sakurako walked into the boxing club room. Bianchi and Aoyuki followed shortly behind them, carrying Yamamoto over their shoulders.

Gokudera and Ryohei were still unconscious on the floor. Tsuna saw that Yamamoto was unconscious.

"W-What happened?!" Tsuna worriedly asked Reborn, who landed near Tsuna.

"Oh, they haven't awakened yet?" Reborn answered.

"Kura can help with that. Fufu~" Kimiko giggled.

Aoyuki put Yamamoto next to the other unconscious guys.

"Aquarius." Sakurako incanted and a giant adobe clay pot appeared above the three.

Gokudera, Ryohei, and Yamamoto got soaked with the cold water from the pot.

"Gyah!" Gokudera yelped.

"Extreme!" Ryohei shot up from the ground.

"Bwah!" Yamoto yelled.

"The water has purification abilities." Sakurako smiled.

"Good morning, sunshines! How was your nap?" Kimiko grinned.

"Tsk. Damn woman..." Gokudera shook his fist at Kimiko.

"Gokudera-kun! What a relief." Tsuna sighed.

"T-tenth! How long was I out for?"

"We hoped you died." Kimiko smiled.

"Yeah." Sakurako sadistically smiled along with Kimiko.

Gokudera glared at the two.

"Ehh?! What happened?! I was extremely fighting and then everything went dark to the extreme!" Ryohei yelled.

"I won the fight, you loudmouth. Now I don't have to join your silly boxing club." Kimiko triumphantly declared.

"Haha, so Yuki won our fight, huh?" Yamamoto laughed.

"Uh yeah. Sorry about kicking you into the wall..." Aoyuki sheepishly said.

"Now now, it was a fight after all."

"Eh?! So that means those three won all of their battles?!" Tsuna's eyes widened.

"That's right." Reborn replied. "They managed to defeat three of your guardians."

"So what does that mean, Reborn?" Tsuna asked.

Reborn jumped up and kicked Tsuna in the face. "Baka-Tsuna. It means you need more training."

"Hie!" Tsuna shrieked in pain.

"Let's head home. Mama is making dinner." Reborn jumped on Bianchi's shoulder.

Huzzah. Chapter 12 is up and finished, with a whopping 10 pages.
