Part 3 - Encounter
"This is definitely not the kind of meeting I expect this will be."
Tsuna look up from the report he had just finish checking and chuckle at Yaotome Hikaru's troubled face.
"And to think you're actually already positioned THIS high in THIS kind of company! I mean, Vongola Company?! THE famous multi-national Vongola Company! If you tell me about this earlier, I'll definitely not believe you!"
Tsuna and Yamamoto chuckled again at Hikaru's words, contrast to Gokudera's obvious scowling face.
"Neither do I, Yaotome-san. Though to be quite honest, I'm ashamed that I didn't suspect it was you guys earlier before."
They have just finished the meeting about the CM collaboration project they will be doing that month, with Tsuna re-doing a more formal introduction and then putting up his professional chara so perfectly throughout it, that the other side starting to doubt this is the same person they're meeting before. Their manager who almost passed out when learning about their previous encounter manage to get through it well and now left the room to report about the meeting's result to the higher ups. Leaving the two groups with themselves.
"You didn't know it was gonna be our group that'll work with you?" ask Hikaru again.
"Your agency only just now announce which of their talents that they gonna send out. So it was a last minute announcement," it was Gokudera who answer from Tsuna's side.
"But I should've at least have a guess or two when I saw your agency name on the concert," Tsuna sighed dejectedly. Feeling so ashamed of his own stupidity.
"Hahaha! Yeah, we even watch their concert already!" Yamamoto added with a laugh.
"Oh yeah! How do you guys think?! Do you enjoy it?" suddenly Yuto jump excitedly in his seat with sparkling and anticipating eyes.
"It was so fun Yuto-kun! And your dancing moves are so cool! And you could hit those drums so fast! So cool!"
"You guys should've come to the backstage Takeshi-kun! I could show you a lot of stuffs behind there!"
Yamada who seated right beside Yuto blinked at the two's heated conversation. "You guys are on first name basis already?"
"Aww~ Don't be jealous Ryosuke. Even though Yutti might never call you with your first name, but I do~" Chinen bumped his shoulder to Yamada teasingly.
"You know that's not what I mean, Chinen."
"Talking about name, I think this is really the first time we meet him, isn't it?"
At Inoo's words, everyone's attention is turned to the purple haired man that keep doing a scary laugh or smiles throughout the meeting.
"Kufufufu, I believe Tsunayoshi has properly introduce me before," Mukuro said.
"What Inoo-chan meant is, we didn't see you in the group at lunch earlier," Daiki said while leaning his body to the table.
"I believe I don't have a reason to tell you why~" he said with another scary laugh. Making Daiki and Keito who seated across him shivers.
"Hahaha, Mukuro just love to disappear sometimes!" Yamamoto said with a laugh from his seat.
"He's extreme at that!" Ryouhei added with a wide grin.
"Oya oya~ Are you making fun of me?"
"Oh? That's just like our Inoo," Yabu said with a glance to the mentioned member.
Inoo frowned as the other member give approving nods. "I'm not like that."
"You are. More like, when you're not with us we'll never know where you are," Hikaru added.
"I will be at home, obviously."
"Remember that time you said you were out looking for a secret hot spring in mountain or something?"
"...that was one time…"
"Or going deep inside a cave?"
"That one was for work!"
Everyone in the room except Hibari who seating himself at the far end of the table laugh at the conversation about Inoo's mysterious life. It was then that Takaki notices something from the other group that he find weird.
"That's a pretty hardcore kind of accessories you guys wearing."
Tsuna and the others raise their eyebrow at that, and looking at Takaki weirdly. "Hardcore?"
"You know, that ring and necklace stuffs all of you are wearing. It's kinda weird wearing those with a formal suit, isn't it?"
Tsuna and the other looking back at their own clothes, and realize what Takaki means was their Vongola Gears. True, that it looks so out-of-place with the neat expensive looking suits they're wearing, since they practically always wear it everytime. A double ring attached by a chain in Tsuna's right ringers, a buckle (this one couldn't be seen because of his suits though) in Gokudera's belt, a sword shaped necklace dangling in Yamamoto's neck, a crystal shaped earring in Chrome's ear, a bangle circling Ryouhei's upper left arm, and a silver bracelet popping out from Hibari's suit's edge. Thank God Lambo could store his helmet safely in his hair (Tsuna still couldn't figure it out why and he given up about it) so he didn't looked too much out of place. And since Mukuro practically sharing the same gear with Chrome, he's free from anything.
"Oi Yuya! Don't be rude to other's fashion choice, will you?!" hissed Yamada from his seat.
"Especially when it was you who needed to be bought a jeans by Yamada because of your poor fashion sense," Hikaru added with a smirk.
"Ah yeah~ The "Everyone thinks I'm cool Yuya" who somehow always making his jeans all ripped out," Yamada added again.
"Why you guys turn it back to me?!"
"Hahaha, don't worry," Tsuna quickly say calmly. "This might look a bit out of place, but it's like passed down momento in our fam-I mean company."
"But you guys all...or almost all, wear one. And they all looked similar, though the designs is different," Daiki eyeing each and every one of them with interest face.
"Because we are extremely Tsuna's guardian!"
The Hey! Say! JUMP members looked confused at Ryouhei's answer, while the other Vongola members sweatdropped or facepalming themselves inside their mind for Ryouhei's too oblivious answer.
"Guardian?"
Tsuna starting to feel anxious at his guests curious stare and stumble inside his head, "Um… what he means is…"
"It means we're like Tsuna's special direct subordinate!" Yamamoto easily chirp in with his usual big smile, to Tsuna's gratefulness. "We kinda acted like Tsuna's personal bodyguards too, that's why we're called his 'Guardians'!"
"Heee~ That sounds so cool~!" Yuto looking at them with sparkling eyes.
"That sounds so nice~ I wish I had mine too~"
"And from what kind of danger are your 'Guardians' supposed to guard you from, Dai-chan~?" teased Chinen with smug face.
"Don't even mention stalkers. You never even got recognized when walking on the streets for shooting~"
"Shut up Hikaru-kun!"
Everyone burst out laughing again at that, and right at that time, a knock was heard from the door. By Tsuna's permission, the door opened and a man in black suits walk in while giving a short bow to everyone inside.
"Tsuna-sama, the dinner is ready."
Tsuna smiled brightly at that, "Thanks Alex-san. Well then everyone, looks like it's time to eat. And of course, this time it's our share~"
The totally high class dinner that took place in the other room went on smoothly, asiding the times when Daiki trying to give his comments of the food and getting weird blank stares from the Vongola members, although Yamamoto still laugh at him. Either out of politeness or that guy just found anything amusing.
When almost all of them finish eating, Yabu's attention turned to his vibrating phone. As he take a look at it, his expressions turn a bit serious and he excuse himself for a while while dragging Hikaru and Keito who's still having food in their mouth away from the table to the other end of the room.
"Is something wrong?" ask Tsuna with a concern as he eyeing the three who's speaking seriously in the far end of the room where no one could hear them.
"I don't know. But probably just another agency stuffs," Chinen said with a shrug as he continue eating. "By the way, I've been wanting to ask this. Why do you seem to be looking at us warily and like keeping a distance from us?" He staring straight at the surprised Gokudera.
"You are, Hayato?" ask Yamamoto confusedly. Since he seems to be okay with them earlier in the day.
"What's that Hayato-nii? Are you afraid of them~?"
"Of course not you stupid cow!"
"Hayato, language…." Tsuna sighed.
"I-I'm so sorry Jyuudaime! I mean, it's because they're doing those kissing and hugging stuffs on their concert so easily like that!"
The Hey! Say! JUMP boys blinked, and then burst out laughing at the revelation.
"Oh! You mean those fanservice things? What's to be scared of that?" Yuto said while laughing hard.
"Well~ I guess for people who never seen one it might be a little surprising~" Inoo said with a mocking face.
"Don't tell me you're homophobic or something like that? We maybe doing that, but we're not homo I assure you," Takaki said with a chuckle.
"Shut up! What's little in that! Normal guys won't be so touchy with others so easily like that!" Gokudera shout back with a bit redden face. Either from embarrassment or anger.
"I told you there's extremely nothing wrong with being friendly, octopus head!"
"And I told you too that it's different from just being friendly you boxing freak!"
"Hayato! Onii-san! Language!"
Everyone was still laughing over the quarrel between Gokudera and Ryouhei, and Tsuna's fail attempt to keep the two of them at peace, when the other three came back from their secret talk.
"Sorry for breaking the fun, but seems like we need to go back already," Yabu said to everyone, while giving an apologetic smile to Tsuna, to everyone's disappointment.
"Oh, is that so?" Tsuna ask with disappointed face. To be honest, he feels like having fun with them.
Yabu nods, "Yeah, just got called from the agency earlier, there's something they needed us to do before we ended today's work."
Tsuna blinked at the information. "Wow, seems like being idol is a hard work. I understand, we'll continue this later I hope. Please be careful on your way back."
Every one of them giving their own smiles or grin as they wave good bye to the other group before they walk out. Yuto and Yamamoto even doing a fist bump and exchanging grins. "Sure we will!"
The Vongola members walk with them to the elevator that will bring them back down to the lobby, and before the elevator door closing, Tsuna quickly say with a big smile. "Please come here again anytime you want. You guys will always be welcomed here."
"We do?!"
Hikaru quickly smacked the too excited Daiki as the door start closing.
After they get in the car that their manager left for them and have driven away from the hotel, it was then that Chinen started speak up as he typing on his phone. "So, is it another 'job'?"
Yabu nods from the front seat right beside Takaki who's now driving them back. "Yeah, the 'Boss' wants us to check on Osamu Seki-san. Just making sure he's out from any kind of danger or threat."
"The one that plan to hold a lecture about Arashi-san?" Yuya asked without turning away from the road.
"Yup. That one. And making sure Arashi-san is all well while we're at it, he said."
"'While we're at it'? They're not even in the same district right now," Chinen frowned as he eyeing his phone that's now showing the five Arashi members location.
"Well, we just need you Chii, to check up on their status with those radar you embed on them. While Hikaru and Keito is on their way to Osamu-san right now."
"Oh, so that's why they're not in the car with us right now," Yuto blinked as he finally understand the reason why those two are missing.
"They do?"
"...Takaki, you didn't even realize they didn't get in the car?" Daiki said from the back seat of van.
"Well he is stupid, what do you expect?" Inoo grinning slyly as he taking a peek at Chinen's phone screen from his behind.
"Oi, I could hear you," Takaki tried to sound angry.
But Inoo didn't seems to be hearing him or just plainly ignore him, as he still looking at the Arashi members status with interest. "Ah, I think Matsumoto-kun is on another dinner outings, huh?"
"I wonder who is it this time~ Last time it was Oguri-san was it?" Yuto said excitedly, even though it got nothing to do with him.
"That guy have too much friends in entertainment world if you ask me," Chinen said with a sigh.
"And you are too obsessed with Ohno-kun. Everyone of us know you put on a life sensor device secretly on him on last time's checkup."
"That's for extra security measurement, mind you!" Chinen defended himself against Daiki.
"You didn't even put it in ANY of us, Chii~" Yuto pouted. "And we're the one with most danger at most times."
"Aww~ I'm so sorry Yutti, but I have budget to hold," Chinen make a fake(?) sad eye and pat Yuto's shoulder. "And I believe you guys could take care of yourself just fine~"
"And you guys enjoy this too much for your own good," Yamada roll his eyes on his seat.
The night has fallen completely, and the freezing night wind could be feel even from the ground. But that didn't even falter Hibari Kyouya from doing his usual 'night patrol' up from the hotel building's roof.
Even if the city they're in right now is technically not really his usual territory.
As he stood straight staring there alone, his eyes is looking at the city below him, where the lights is still so blinding throughout the city, making it looks like a scatter of diamonds in the middle of the night. His ears could even still hear people's shouting and laughing sounds, where most caused by drunken salaryman, which actually itching the stoic Hibari to go down and beat them to pulp just to make them shut their noisy mouth from unnecessary sounds.
He was just about to ignore everything and went back to their room quarter after standing there for hours, when his trained eyes caught sight of movements from the buildings a few hundred meters from his location.
Those shadows moving fastly between buildings by jumping around the roof with one sweep big jump betweens the building gaps, as they make their move stealthily to the other side of the city. He couldn't make out their physical feature nor anything because of the distance and darkness, but as he keep watching at them with interest, his blood lust starting to emerge and growing up. Hibari knows he at least won't be too bored that night.
If Tsunayoshi ask, he could just say he was off hunting on rats. Because no normal people will go jumping around the roofs in the middle of the night.
"I can't believe they're making us doing this right after dinner!" Sonic Hunter shouts angrily as he make a big leap to the restaurant's higher roof and not waiting for a second before making another step to the other roof across it.
Behind him, SHINOBI just following after his partner's step a bit more clumsily in comparison, but still smooth nontheless. "Well at least the Boos's instinct is right. We do taking down a suspicious stalker there anyway...right?"
Sonic Hunter just grumble as he continuing on without even giving a glance at his partner for the night. "It's the BOSS fault in the first place that we're doing something like this anyway. Just because he fucking found this setting actually interesting, we ended up continuing this roles for real!"
SHINOBI chuckles, it's not the first time any of them complaining about this 'job' while still actually doing it.
Sonic Hunter giving grumpy stare from his shoulder, but they didn't stop nor slowing down with their movement, "Why am I with you anyway? Usually it would be me and Da-I mean Falcon Jr. for this kind of job."
"Scope-san said that I'm not agile enough for someone named SHINOBI, so it's kinda like more training?"
"And he's not even the Commander in this."
"Haha, the real Commander is too lazy to actually giving out orders for this 'job', so the Boss entrust it to Scope-san is what I think."
"I swear we're not even supposed to be doing something like-hm?" his words cutted off as he notice a strange moving signal from the lense attached in their left eye. "Something's coming at high speed towards us!"
"Eh? What-?" SHINOBI have just turned his head to the direction Sonic Hunter mentioned when suddenly something or someone that moving at high speed from the other roofs striking right towards his chest with a blunt weapon, and making him smashed down after got rolled back a few meters to the edge of the roof he was setting foot in.
"OI! You okay?!" Sonic Hunter quickly taking a stance between him and their attacker as SHINOBI coughing at the sudden hit to his lungs.
"Ugh...yeah, but who did something like this..?"
"Oh, shit."
SHINOBI blinked, "What?"
"Sshh! Don't talk! We know this guy," he quickly hissed.
SHINOBI took a peek from behind Sonic Hunter who already pulling out his boomerang weapon, and gasped as he got a look of their attacker's face.
Weak.
Hibari stood straight with both of his tonfas ready in his hands, staring straight at the two rats that's cowering in fear and with full cautious right in front of him. Both of the mysterious person is wearing the same kind of clothes. A full tight body with purple and black colour, a weird lense that cover only their left ear, probably a communication device or something, and wearing half helmet that cover their head and mouth part, leaving only their right eye opened.
As he hear them hissing in low voice, the one in front pulling out a weapon that looked like a boomerang, and taking a stance against him carefully.
Hibari smirked. At least they're up to give out some fight to him.
"I don't know who are you people. But for disrupting the peace, I'll bite you to death," he make a scary grin, and making a dash right at the one with boomerang.
Both of their weapon clashes in the night's air as Hibari making quick attack and his opponent keep deflecting it at the last moment using his weird shaped weapon. As Hibari keep cornering him to the edge of the roof, he send out a kick from below, which evaded swiftly by the mysterious guy. He then using his bended part of his weapon to hit Hibari's lower foot, making him thrown backwards and then being attacked back by a quick slashing move from the boomerang wielder.
Hibari was about to make a leap to the back to get some space between them, when he hear a weird sound coming from his back. He took a short glance through his shoulder and frowned as he saw the remaining space around his back is now being covered by spikes. Probably from that partner he hit earlier, which now couldn't be seen around.
With his back not optional, Hibari do it in his usual way, striking right at his opponent with his blood lust pouring out. He got a hit and two right at the guy's stomach, making him coughed back a bit but still standing, to his amazement. Right when Hibari about to dashing in again, he caught a sight of something glinting, and quickly rolled to the side to see three shuriken stabbing right at the spot he was standing in earlier.
The other guy then use the chance to throw his boomerang right at Hibari's way, but Hibari easily evade it to the side, and giving him mocking glance for actually throwing away his weapon like that.
Seeing his opponent is now unarmed, Hibari quickly attacks him restlessly, which still could be deflected and evaded sometimes by his opponent, to his irritation. Hibari sent a strike with his right tonfas, but the other guy evade it to the left, caught his wrist, trying to send out a punch at Hibari's side stomach, but he quickly move away and swaying his right tonfa again while doing at, where his opponent jumped away easily from it.
When Hibari about to take another step, the other guy who's in hiding have somehow thrown out another set of spikes around Hibari, making him stop for a second. Hibari scowl, as something like this wouldn't be able to hold him.
Right as he about to make a high leap over it, a sudden hit coming straight to his neck from behind, making him off balance with dizziness and stepping right at the spikes that surrounds him.
That fucking boomerang!I
Hibari stare in pure anger as he saw the weird weapon flew back to the awaiting hand of it's owner, and as they see Hibari is not in the full condition to run after them anymore, they make a quick run and disappear from Hibari's sight.
Hibari growl in annoyance as he could feel blood pouring out from his foot, but it didn't keep the annoyance out of him. He swears he'll get them for this, whoever they are.
