Part 2 - Concert
"I am NOT going in there Tsunayoshi."
"But Kyoya~! It'll be rude if we didn't attend to their invitation!"
Hibari take a glance at the 'sight' that's actually still quite far from their position and twitch at the...crowding that they do.
"NO. WAY!"
Tsuna sighed and ruffle his already messy hair at his guardian's stubbornness. Though he can't exactly blame him, knowing his nature that hate crowding the most.
And really, even Tsuna was frightened when he get the first glance of this...sight.
Around the famous Tokyo Dome (Yamamoto's eyes turned bright and sparkling the first second he saw the baseball's holy ground) could be seen thousands...maybe more, girls walking and lining up towards the big dome. All wearing different kinds of clothes, from the cute and normal kind, until wearing yukata and some...jumper clothes with words in it?
All of them also bringing this kind of big uchiwa with different kinds of words in it. Some are names, faces, and some looked like an order or request?
They stood around 200 meters from the Dome area, and heck, those girls line even reach their position, and it's not the tail of it yet. Not to mention they have some quite attractive members themselves to attract those girl's attention, so they decided to move further for a while in the nearby park afther they feel that those wolf eyes started to get notice of their group.
"Ahahaha, that IS a really big crowding," Yamamoto commented happily as he glancing towards the Dome.
"Extremely why is there even so extremely many people there anyway?!" Ryouhei furrowed confusedly.
"Stupid lawn-head! This is a concert remember!? Of course there'll be lots of people!" Gokudera snap at him as usual.
"Chrome-nee, what is a concert?" Lambo tugged Chrome's hand that he's been holding. Since there's a lot of people, they can't have Lambo running around dangerously again like before, or they'll lose him for good.
"It's like a show where an artist is singing or performing," Chrome answer non-chalantly.
"You go if you want to. I'm staying out here," Hibari says again to Tsuna who still stood right in front of him.
"And have the risk of you destroying something out here alone? NO. Not a chance."
Hibari growl. It's not his fault if he ended up destroying something, since those people either breaking the rules or crowding.
Tsuna pinched his temple in trying to think of something, and he get it.
"How about this? You don't have to be inside the dome and watch it, but at least be around the dome's area. You could search a solitude spot anywhere around it as long as it's where I could feel your flame's presence and vice versa.
Hibari looked considering the suggestion for a while, before he silently nodded.
Tsuna sighed in relief at one problem solved. Now the next one...
"Mukuro, come out here now."
A swirl of mist appear near the group, before the pineapple head illusionist emerge from inside it with his usual smirk.
"I was wondering when you'll be calling me back Tsunayoshi-kun~ I thought you forget about me already~"
Tsuna roll his eyes at his remarks. "Yeah, like I'll be able to. Anyway, I'm sure you knows what's going on already. You're coming with us. And no, I don't want to hear anymore complain. You didn't stand a chance already."
So with that being said, they embracing themselves on 'attacking' those mobs of girls to reach that back door Yabu told them before.
"Boys! You have 30 minutes left!"
"Got it! Damn, where did my ironer go?! Ah! Oi Yabu! I was using it!"
"Sorry Hikaru! Just a little bit more!"
"No way! You always left it sticky with your gel! Give it back now!"
"Keito! Lend me your gel!"
"Here," Keito pass it to Daiki who stood behind him without taking his glance away from the mirror in front of him as he busy styling his bangs for the past 10 minutes.
"Argh...my hair is not done yet," grumble Yamada as he hurrying styling his hair.
"It will be messed anyway when we put up the hat and doing those jumping and all. Just give it up."
"Easy for you to say since your hair is just straight as it is!" he snapped back at Chinen who already taking leisuring position in the couch while reading some idol magazine. Probably fanboying over Ohno or Arashi's page.
On the other side of the make up table, Takaki and Inoo silently doing their make up and hair too. Takaki with his serious face while Inoo seem to just doing whatever he could pull up for the time being and making random curl here and there.
"Yabu-kun!" Yuto's voice who already finish doing his preparation earlier was heard as his head poking from the door. His face looked excited as he gave out the news. "The staffs said those guys have arrived and already being shown the way to the VIP box."
Yabu turn towards the younger boy and looked relieved, with Hikaru using the chance to snatch back his ironer from the tall guy, "Ah, that's good. Thanks Yuto."
"No problem~" Yuto just wave at him with a grin as he step inside and approaching Chinen who's now poking at Yamada's unfinished hair, to his super annoyance, and Keito still not over with his bangs beside them.
Yuto thought he could maybe give them some help or they won't make it in time for the concert.
Tsuna and the other who being seated in a sitting dug out (Takeshi excitingly explained this is where the team members and coach are sitting when they're having baseball match) and see only some other people are sitting there with them. Some old man with sunglasses that keeping their stoic face as they discuss something with crossed arm, and a bunch of boys with different age hurdling together in one corner of the spot. Those boys who seems like know each other well could be seen glancing and pointing curiously towards Tsuna's group, in which they tried their best to ignore.
Tsuna and the others who clearly didn't know what to expect from this concert could only silently sit in their position once the concert starts with the shouting voice that they feel familiar with, and then a VTR shown from the big screen above the stage, which make them gasp.
"The hell?! This Heisei thingy is those guys!?"
"Um...Hayato-san. I think they're called Hey! Say! JUMP..." Chrome corrected him timidly as she taking a look back at their ticket in her hand.
"Who cares what they're called anyway?!"
"Uwoh! Tsuna-nii! There's fireworks going on there! And fire too!"
"Kufufufu~ they sure knows how to properly use them, unlike our bomber here."
"Oi! I could hear you Mukuro!"
"Now they're EXTREMELY flying! Sawada! They're just like you! I want to fight them to the extreme!"
"Eh? He's gonna walk on those rope? Isn't that dangerous Bossu?"
"Ahahahaha this concert thing is so fun! Oh, look Tsuna! Nakajima-kun and Yaotome-kun was wearing white clothes before and suddenly they wear a black suits now! I wonder if they have some kind of Gear like us?"
"Oh my God did they actually just hugging and kissing up there?!"
"They're extremely being friendly! What's the problem with that? I kiss my sister everyday!"
"This is different you stupid lawn-head! Can't you see they're all boys there!?"
"Uwah! Now they just switch place all so suddenly! Hey Tsuna! Tsuna! Could it be they have Night flame too?!"
Tsuna couldn't even properly comment on all of his guardians comments as he himself got stupefied and fascinated at all these things happening all so suddenly right in front of his eyes.
He could understand if they are singing and dancing, but these guys do tightrope walking, flying, acrobats, magic performance, and even being all touchy feely with each other by hugging and kissing cheeks on stage!
Just what kind of concerts is this?!
By the time the concert is over, Tsuna didn't have any clear memories on what has been happening throughout it except those sparkling clothes and the deafening screams and squeals from all those girls throughout the dome.
He wonder how could those guys survive it when he think his own scream is deafening enough.
His guardians seems to be enjoying the show though, as they still on a heated discussion about a manuever or something that Chinen-kun did (since Tsuna couldn't remember all that happened on that concert) as they walking out from the dome.
"Ah, please wait a moment. Sawada-san was it?"
Tsuna turn around and saw Gokudera and Yamamoto have somehow took protective stance between him and the guards who call him earlier. Making the guards eyeing them weirdly and suspiciously.
"What is it sir?" Tsuna ask with his usual calm and warm tone, trying to ease out the effect caused by his over-protective guardians.
"Ah, Yabu-san ask me to take you to meet them after this. If you have time."
Tsuna tilted his head at the request, and then turn to his right-hand man. "What do you say Hayato?"
Gokudera took a glance at his watch and frown, "I'm sorry Jyuudaime. But we need to prepare soon."
Tsuna nod in understanding and turn back to the guards, "Sorry, please tell Yabu-kun and the others we have errands to do. Please pass our gratitude towards them and that we enjoy the show so much."
The guards nodded and then take his leave, and they did the same.
As soon as they were out of the crowded perimeter, Tsuna only need to follow the wavering flame that's coating around his aloof guardian, and they easily found him taking a nap in a tree hidden between buildings around it.
"Ahahaha, Kyoya-san sure take his time," Yamamoto made a remark as they found him still not moving from his spot.
"Kufufufu, maybe I could put on a prank or two to wake him up, Tsunayoshi?"
Hibari's closed eyes twitch at Mukuro's words, and he immediately snap his eyes open and glaring at the illusionist, "I'll bite you to death."
"Tsunayoshi, your skylark is about to punish innocent person here. I haven't do anything, aren't I?" Mukuro said with a smirk.
Tsuna just sighed at them, he's too tired of this already, "Enough. Just stop it you two."
"Jyuudaime, I've contacted the hotel and they are sending a car to pick us up here soon."
Tsuna nodded at Gokudera, at least his right-hand man seems to understand that he and some of them are too tired to walk to their hotel anymore now.
After Hibari jump down and join them (with a bit of a distance) Tsuna eyeing all of them with the eyes of his boss mode.
"Okay guys. Let's hurry back to the hotel and prepare for our meeting tonight."
"Iyeey~~!" Yuto, Daiki and Chinen high five together as they return back to the dressing room after the second concert of the day ended.
On the end of the room, Hikaru, Takaki and Yamada are all stuffing their bodies together on the one sofa as they're too tired to find another soft spot to rest.
"I don't get how you guys still have the energy to do that," said Hikaru tiredly as he watch the three laughing and teasing each other on what they've each done earlier for fan service.
"Maybe you're just getting old Hikaru~" Inoo send a teasing grin at him as he glomps his drink on the make up chair.
"You're older than me! You have no right to say that!"
Inoo just shrug at him as he wordlessly turn to the other way around.
"Ah...I'm so tired. I can't move anymore...Yamada, pass me my bottle?" ask Takaki as he curling himself between Yamada and Hikaru.
Yamada just groan as he curling on the edge of the sofa with his back facing the older boy, "No way. I don't want to move. Take it yourself."
"Here Takaki-kun," Keito who appear out of nowhere suddenly stood in front of Takaki with his bottle.
"Aahh~~~ you're my saviour Keito!" Takaki grins so widely before he glomps at his drink.
"Hey! Where's mine?!" Yamada pout at him.
"Well you didn't ask for it before." He shrugged innocently, but still turn around to pick it up and handing it to the shorter boy.
"By the way, where is Yabu?" Hikaru questions as he realize the absents of the oldest member.
"Ah, Manager-san took him away earlier on our way here. Probably about our schedule after this," Yuto answer from the floor on the other side of the room, where he sprawled freely on the open space with Daiki and Chii not far from him doing the same pose.
Hika grumble at the reminder, "Ah...right. We still have a meeting after this aren't we?"
"I want to go home and eat my strawberry shortcake already," mumble Yamada with a pout.
"You eat one already yesterday."
"That was YESTERDAY! I didn't have my share for today yet!" he shouted back at Daiki with his body still slumped on the couch.
"Don't worry Yama-chan~ Your sweet cake won't run anywhere~" Yuto said as he somehow has obtained his usual camera in his hands and started taking multiple angle pictures of each members.
"...when did you take your camera anyway, Yutti? And I thought you're tired already."
"Hm?"
The question left unanswered as the door got opened again and Yabu, who looked as tired as the rest of them but somehow still manage to stand and walk, look around and sighed at the sight of them.
"Hop hop, time to clean up and pack up. We got a meeting to do in an hour," he said while clapping his hands and eyeing anyone who haven't move from their pose.
"Already~~?" Chinen pouted while still in his curling pose.
"Sorry Chii, but those people came all the way here from outside Tokyo, so we can't afford to be late. C'mon Dai-chan, you wake up too. Don't you dare fall asleep right here and now."
"Just a minute or two won't hurt will it?" he sulked from behind Chii's back.
"You're worst than a rock when you asleep so not a chance! C'mon off to the shower you two!" Yabu pull the two to their feet with the help of Yuto flashing their face with his camera's flash.
"By the way, I thought you invite those guys from earlier to come here?" Hikaru asked as he walk lazily to his bag and start rummaging it's inside to look for something.
"I did, but they went already. Seems like they're busy too," Yabu answer as he watch over the other to make sure Yamada, Keito and Yuya make it safely to the shower room. With Yuto finally succeeded in dragging Daiki and Chinen. Yabu didn't see Inoo get in, but he sure that guy went in first already to take the good separated spot on the shower room.
"Now that I think about it, we didn't really get to hear what kind of business they're doing huh?"
Yabu blinked at Hikaru's words. "You're right. But oh well, I just hope we will bump into them again somewhere while they're here."
"I agree. Those guys are kinda interesting," he answered as he sling his towel in his neck with a grin to Yabu.
"Oi Yuto! You forgot to left your camera outside!"
"Don't worry! This one is waterproof one!"
"AND WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU PLANNING TO TAKE PICTURE OF WITH IT NAKAJIMA?!"
"...yeah Reborn, we are in the hotel already...No! Of course I'm not slacking off! I got invited by some new friends earlier! That's why we checked in late! ….yes, of course I'm making sure of that…... already got everything covered, yes. The contract, the propositions, ideas for the CM, yes, everything. …...yes, I know, I'll still do my schedule in the morning. Yes...….yes the night too, okay Reborn, okay. ...yes, no I mean NO, of course I'm listening! Argh...don't confuse me before an important meeting will you! …...whatever, I need to be going, Takeshi is here already. Yes, see you later Reborn."
Tsuna put away his phone with a sigh, as he heard an amused chuckle from the other side of the room.
"Did you just use me to get away from the Baby's lecture, Tsuna?"
Tsuna slumped his back to the work chair in their rented penthouse as he staring at the beautiful view of the city from the big window behind him, "I'm not a kid anymore, but he keep treating me like so. And literally Takeshi, he's not a baby anymore too."
"Oops, a habit. Sorry about that," he grinned as he walk closer and took the seat on the other side of the work table.
"So how's the preparation going? Sorry I couldn't check on it myself, Reborn keep nagging me to work on this paperwork and send it to him in a few hours," grumble Tsuna as he eyeing the scattered papers in his table with malice
Yamamoto laughing at the despair look of his boss, "Don't worry about that Tsuna~ Hayato and Kyoya is now checking the meeting room and all the necessities we're gonna need for the meeting later. Chrome and Lambo is arranging for the snacks and the dinner with the hotel staffs. Ryouhei-senpai is going through the security again downstairs. While Mukuro….well I think you already know what he's doing?"
Tsuna sighed, "I do ask him to put on a barrier or two just in case. But I hope he won't overdo it. Kyoya is restless enough to be inside his barrier."
"Hahaha~ those two would never get along aren't they?"
"I don't know whether it'll be my nightmare or my dream to have them get along," Tsuna chuckled along his rain guardian at the image of his mist and cloud actually getting along well.
"By the way Tsuna, I heard an interesting story when having a chat with the staffs earlier~"
Tsuna's eyebrow raised. As far as he knows, Takeshi is not such a gossiper, so it's really rare of him to seem to be eager on telling stories he heard about other people.
"Do you know-"
Their chat was interrupted with a knock from the door.
The two head inside the room turn to the door and saw Chrome peeking from the other side of it.
"Bossu, I'm sorry. But it's about time."
Tsuna take a look at his watch and just realize what time is it now. "Ah! Sorry Chrome, I'll get ready in a minute," he quickly make a quick sweep to at least make sure he didn't left any necessary paper on the table as he stood up and took his Vongola suits that's hanging just beside his table.
"Where are the others?" ask Tsuna as he buttoning up his suits, with Takeshi towering just behind him, already taking his position.
"They're waiting in the living room already Bossu."
Tsuna nodded.
"Okay then, let's go."
"You get it boys? The people we're meeting now may be young, but they're from a SUPER SUPER IMPORTANT company in this world, not just Japan, so please, DON'T do anything stupid!"
Hikaru frowned at their manager's overly worried lecture. It will make sense if they're still their teenage self when they have just debut, but heck! They're all above 21 already by now, they know about such things already!
"We're not a kid anymore, you don't have to over worried about such things," Hikaru said as he straighten himself in his seat. Right now all 9 of them are crumpled inside the company car, with their manager driving, and on their way to the hotel where they'll be meeting with this new company that they'll be working for a CM with.
"And that come from a guy who wear weird parka and flashy shorts to a meeting? Sure~"
Hikaru turn his head to Yamada who busying himself with his phone on the far back of the car and send out a glare. "Shut up Yamada. That's what I call a trait."
"You should copy Yutti's style some time."
Yuto who's in the middle of air drumming with a shared earphone with Chinen who seating beside him turn to the two as he heard his name being mentioned. "What about me?"
"Just ignore the two, Yutti," Chinen said without taking his eyes off the iPod in his hand, and then show it to the taller boy as he found an interesting looking title. "Hey, is this song good?"
"Rather than talking about Hikaru's weird fashion sense, shouldn't we wake up this three instead?" Yabu eyeing the three sleeping member beside Yamada, ignoring Hikaru's yell at him.
"Good idea. It'll take forever to wake Dai-chan up anyway," Inoo nodded as he turn his body to the three and looked contemplating on how to wake them up. "Do we have a bazooka around?"
"That didn't work on Dai-chan, remember?" Yamada roll his eyes.
"Oh! I have an idea!" Yuto shouted suddenly.
"Not with your kissing ritual again please, Yuto."
Yuto pouted at their eldest member, "It's not that, Yabu-kun! I mean this!" he make a weird finger gesture with both his hand, and the other members quickly catching on what he mean.
And so, not a second later Yuto, Hikaru, and Yamada already took their place each on one of the sleeping boy. With the rest of them move away to the most front seat to avoid any accident.
"Um….what are you boys planning to do back there?" their manager ask worriedly as he took a glance on the rear mirror.
But instead of answering, Hikaru make a countdown instead. "3...2...1!"
"O..! HA…! YOO~~~!"
The three tickles different parts on the sleeping members mercilessly, making all of them jumped on the cramped space on the back of the van, shouting in vain, started kicking around in attempt to escape, but still got tickled nontheless.
"GYA! HIKARU-KUN! NOT MY! AAH! HAHAHA! AA! NOT MY STOMACH! HAHAHA! STOP!"
"NOT MY! NOT THERE PLEASE! HAHAHA-I BEG YOU YUTO STOP-HAHAHA!"
"WHAT THE HELL YAMA-CHAN! YOUR PINCHING ME!"
"THIS IS WHY I TOLD YOU BOYS TO BEHAVE! NOW STOP THAT AND MAKE YOURSELF PRESENTABLE! WE'VE ARRIVED ALREADY!"
The boys just chuckled at themselves as they move around the crowded van to take their bag and tidy up their hair before jumping out from the van to the open space of the underground car park.
"Okay boys, don't give our manager more heart attack than this," Yabu said with a chuckle to his bandmates as he lead the group behind the manager.
"You could have said that before they gave US heart attack, Yabu-kun," pouted Daiki as he still trying to tidy up his bed hair.
Yabu shrugged. "There's no other way to wake you guys up faster."
They were then being led to the lobby of one of the most prestigious hotel in Tokyo, one that even they never step foot on before.
"Why are we doing a meeting in such a high class hotel like this anyway?" ask Inoo with a low voice to the members that stood near him.
"Well...I do hear they're really rich and this hotel is one of their company branch too?" Yabu answer him as he look around, copying their manager who seems to be looking for their meeting partner.
Hikaru scoffed. "I can imagine this meeting gonna be the oh super stiff one."
"Let's try not to make it like that, shall we? Or we will have some people slumbered down on the table again..." Yabu said with grim face.
"So...where are the person we're supposed to be meeting anyway?" Yamada jumping in at the conversation as he try to look around too. Although he didn't even know who he's supposed to be looking.
"Ah! There he is!" their manager suddenly said as he suddenly walk away from them and meeting half-way with someone that has just gotten out from a separated hallway.
They couldn't see that person since their manager is blocking the view, but from their manager's posture, they could guess that this person is shorter than he is.
"Should we go there too?" ask Yamada to their oldest.
Yabu nodded silently, and so they start moving closer until they could hear their manager's voice.
"...yes, we're really sorry too for being late, since they have just finished a show earlier. Oh, and this here are the group that our company choose for the collaboration we're gonna do."
Their manager turn around to let the two side have a look at each other, and both side's eye widen at the first glance.
"Hey! You're the one from earlier!" Daiki quickly shouted and pointing at the person, much to the horror of their manager.
"What was your name again...oh yeah! Gokudera-kun was it!?" Hikaru added. "You're our employer?!"
Gokudera who stood with his neat black suits that have this dark red ornaments on some part of it could only gape and seems like cursing under his breath as he got a look on the boys in front of him. "You guys are the one that-?"
"Are they here yet, Hayato?"
All of them turn at the new soothing sound that echoed from the hallway where Gokudera appear from earlier. As the 7 other suited figures emerge with this dignified aura around them, and followed by the staffs around bowing slightly at them, the 9 idol group boys couldn't help but gaping at the contrast of this people they now meet with the one they're with for lunch earlier this afternoon.
As Tsuna turn away after smiling at the staffs around, he finally saw Yabu and the rest of the group, and his eyes widen too at the sight. "...EH?!"
Silence stretched out around the two frozen group, making their manager and people who's around the lobby looking at them worriedly and confusedly. Until someone finally break the ice with his usual hearty laugh.
"Hahahaha! So it was you guys!"
