Like the battle against the living dead yesterday, the three teens were overwhelmed by the zombies. It wasn't that they were all that strong, but there were so damn many of them. Their numbers seemed to be endless, and that didn't help the trio's progress to canon Takeshi.
"Get outta my fucking way!" the temperamental Storm Guardian yelled blasting a path for him with his ultimate attack. Knowing that he'd only have a few seconds, if that, to make it through to the building. Gokudera charged forward with his shields around him for protections, though that didn't really help when an unknown force pushed him back. Through squinted eyes he could see several members of the Watatsumi standing at the entrance of the building, the oldest looking on moved his hand back to his side.
"Are you okay?" AU!Gokudera asked helping his alternate stand up.
"Shit, this isn't good," Yamamoto cursed seeing the situation that they were in. Three against five of the Watatsumi and a bunch of the living dead, yeah, they were as good as dead.
"We give you the chance to live, and you waste it by coming here?" Iida asked as his tattoos started to move across his body and his scythe appeared in his hands, "Fools."
"Have you ever notice that you talk a lot?" Ichinose pointed out, annoyed at his teammate. "Don't you dare hit me Suguru," he warned turning to the samurai.
"I have no idea what you're talking about," Suguru said looking away as the blond was kicked in the head by Junko.
"Haahaa sucker!" the girl giggled.
"I'm gonna kill you!"
"My goodness acting like children at a time like this, how shameful," the illusionist tisked.
"Oh bite me pretty boy!"
"Hey I take offence to that!"
"How could you be so mean to Iida-senpai poop head?"
"Will you stop hitting me Suguru?"
"I will once you straighten up."
"You guys know that they're not there anymore," Kiuchi said pointing to the spot where the three teens were.
"Where are they then?" the other four asked deciding that their bickering was over for now.
I think around the back. . ."
"Then why the hell are we still standing here?" Ichinose asked getting frustrated about the situation. The Sun Watatsumi Guardian surged his shoulders as everyone (including the zombies) mad a mad dash for where the intruders could be. Once they were gone Kiuchi started for the back too, though at a more lax pace than all his young cohorts. Not five paces from his original spot did he find new unwanted guest. Though he wasn't really in the mood to kill someone, so he gave a small wave and a "Hello Vongola," before he walked off to make sure his fellow villans didn't kill each other (or more precisely kill Ichinose).
xXxXx
"What the heck is going on here?" canon Tsuna asked as he well built Watatsumi walked off after giving them a wave. Shouldn't he be trying to keep him out and getting their rings?
"Who cares! Let's just get the guys and get out of here!" AU!Kyoko said making gestures with her hands to emphasize her point.
"Shouldn't we have some sort of plan before we go deeper?" AU!Tsuna asked keeping an eye out for anything that might be a danger.
"I'm sure everyone else is heading over here," the other Vongola Decimo said knowing that the smoke from the explosion would attract his teammates.
"When do we ever have a plan? And they're taking too long, I'm going in!" the female said going into the courtyard of the inn. The two Tsuna quickly followed. The three teens moved fast, and keep an eye out for their friends and enemies.
xXxXx
Following AU!Yamamoto's lead, the three guardians made their way though the maze of hallways. There didn't seem to be any signs of danger or traps, but they couldn't be took careful. They ran down the halls turning left and right when the swordsman did. AU!Takeshi was so focused into finding his alternate that he didn't notice the person in front of him until it was too late. With several loud thuds he crashed to the floor, taking the other person down with him.
"Takeshi!" AU!Hayato gasped seeing his boyfriend on the floor.
"Yeah?" two voices answered back trying to untangle themselves from the other.
"Yakyuubaka! You're. . .okay?" Gokudera asked shocked to see his Yamamoto was there completely unharmed, well save for that last fall with his alternate. The silverette let a sigh of relief go before he twisted his lips in an angry pout. "Why the hell did you make us worry like that? Idiot!"
"Hey, calm down at least I've alright, right?" he said smiling a closed lip smile.
"Did they take your sword and ring?" AU!Yamamoto asked seeing that he was lacking those things.
"Hai. . ." Looking over his shoulder he added, "They'll probably notice my escape so let's get out of here."
Everyone nodded and back tracked their way to the front. The Gokuderas were in back following the Rain Guardians, however canon Gokudera was starring at his world's Yamamoto's back intently. Actaully it was more close to a glare, something felt wrong to him, but he didn't know what exactly. Having the Vongola Rain Ring and Shigure Kintoki taken away was expected, but it was something else.
Hayato wasn't able to continue trying to figure out his question because as they were nearing the exist they could hear the sounds of fighting. Stepping up their seed the four made their way out side to see that a battle was indeed was taking place.
"Great," AU!Takeshi sighed drawing his sword, "Nothing's ever easy."
"Yamamoto! You're alright!" canon Tsuna gasp happy to see him fine, though that moment let his guard slip for a second. And that all it took for Ichinose to attack the Decimo, thankfully both Gokuderas were quick to act and shielded him.
"Be careful!" both warned as their Storm Flames glowed in harmony with each other.
"Stay back Takeshi, we'll handle these bastards," the motherless Hayato said loading ammunition into his flame arrow.
"Ah. . ." was his lame response, as he stood back just watching the action take place. None of the Watatsumi attacked him, probably because they already had his ring. Watching the fight he saw that the Vongola was having trouble. It was a six on five (plus a bunch of zombies) battle, and three of them were fighting before they got here. Things were not really looking good for the Vongola.
An evil idea popped into Junko's head, waving her arm she decided to mix things up and hopefully mix things up. "Attack that one!" she ordered pointing to the Takeshi that was standing on the sidelines. Listening to their mistress the living dead went to assault the Japanese. When everyone heard this, they put their efforts into attacking the undead, however even with all their efforts some got through. With his quick reflexes canon Yamamoto was able to dodge all the attacks and ran away to the gateway of the inn.
"Let's get out of here!" he yelled, not stopping his running.
While the Vongola were busy fighting the zombies, the Watatsumi took this chance to gang up on them. Using all of Suguru's mental capability, he slowed down time for all six Vongola Famiglia members as much as he could. He was barely able to hold the Mist Gaurdians for ten seconds and now six for at least a minute? It just wasn't happening, and so the samurai's brain shut down on itself making him collapse.
"Suguru!" Ichinose was the first to take notice of the swordsman's fall. Dropping his knives he ran over to the samurai to take him out of the battle zone.
"Hey! Focus on the Vongola!" Junko snapped as her undead army was reduced to nothing. This wasn't good, she had little to no physical strength compared to one of these guys. "Damnit looks like I'm out."
"Iida-san, do you think we should continue or let these kids go?" Kiuchi asked his teammate as he fired another spiritual bullet.
"As much as I like to think we could kill these guys, I wouldn't take my chances. Especially since we're dealing with the Vongola Decimo." The Watatsumi Mist Gaurdain said taking a swipe at Kyoko, only to have it dodge and a fist come at him.
"Okay, it's settled then," the eldest Watatsumi member sighed as his body went into a lax stance. "Get out of here Vongola, before we change our mind."
"Huh?" all the heroes said in confusion as the fighting stopped.
"Let's call this a . . . atonement for stealing the Vongola Rain Gaurdain, ne?" Iida said smiling as his tattoos returned to his body and his scythe disappeared. "Now please leave before something bad happens again."
"Ah, um sure?" canon Tsuna said confused at the sudden turn of events. "Let's go guys."
Everyone retreaded from the area, keeping an eye over their shoulder to make sure that they didn't do anything funny. And they didn't, they kept to their word and let them flee. Canon Yamamoto was waiting for them just outside the broken gate with a gentle smile.
"You guys are safe!" the rescued Rain Gaurdain said happily as he went over to the Tsunas and place an arm around each of them.
"Yeah, we are. How are you?" AU!Tsuna asked looking at the alternate to his Rain Gaurdain.
"I'm fine, you shouldn't worry about me."
"Well I say let's get back to base, I'm fucking tired of hanging around you losers." AU!Yamamoto said putting a hand around his boyfriend's waste. This action caused Hayato to blush and squirm a little as he suddenly remember what happened before they went off to rescue the kidnapped Yamamoto.
AU!Tsuna was thinking the same thing that his Storm Guardian was thinking as that horrible mental image came rearing its head back up. "Let's get going then," he said with a slight shutter. All the while, everyone else was unaware of what was the real meaning of AU!Yamamoto Takeshi's last sentence.
"I suppose you're going to 'help me walk' when we get back?" AU!Gokudera asked with a pink complexion.
A smirk on the badass Japanese's face only made his stomach twist knowing the answer already. Lowing his head, Takeshi whispered something so only the silverette would be able to hear, "If things go as plan you won't be able to walk."
Pink quickly turned to red as Hayato suddenly felt like laying down and just take a nap. While he was embarrassed at how easily his boyfriend could talk about the s-word, he found it quite attractive too. Closing his eyes, the Italian snuggled closer to his Takeshi not wanting his peaceful moment to end, but at the same time eager for whatever he had planned for him.
xXxXx
Well things for the AU couple wasn't able to go as plan, and they were interrupted. At least it didn't happen when they were nude, besides that, there was nothing good about the situation. And I mean, nothing.
"What the hell are you doing?" AU!Yamamoto yelled at his alternate who was holing his sword.
"Quite!" the usually friendly Japanese hissed pointing the AU!Shigure Kintoki at them.
"Y-Yamamoto-kun?" AU!Gokudera asked gripping on to his Takeshi in fear.
"Hand over your rings, before I kill you," he colder ordered.
"Like hell I will!" the other Takeshi spat tackeling his alternate. They wrested on the floor looking like a pair of fighting twin brothers. "Get the others!"
"H-hai!" the Italian stuttered getting off the bed and out the door to find the others. Thankfully a hand full of the guardians were outside of the Sawada's Residence so it made his job easier.
"Guys! Ya-Yamamoto. . . attacked. . . hurry. . ." he panted trying to catch his breath.
"What's wrong Gokudera?" AU!Tsuna asked rushing over to his friend's side.
"Just follow me!" the silverette yelled running back to the room where the Rain Gaurdians were hopefully at. Everyone followed the bomber without question. They were got to the house that had the fighting Yamamotos in it just in time because AU!Takeshi was falling out of a window when help arrived.
"Nuts, Modo Difesa: Mantello di Vongola Primo!" both Tsunas chanted as the Sky Loin came out as a cape. Working together the two Tsunas held out their capes to catch the falling Rain Guardian. When he was safely on the ground they looked up to see the other Yamamoto standing in the window frame.
"He took my ring," the swordsman grunted wiping some blood from his lip.
"Hello Vongola," he greeted as he jumped out and gracefully and slowly landed on the ground. "I'm glad that most of you are here, it makes my job much easier." His voice was deadly flat, and he had an aura of murderous intent surrounding him.
"What the hell is wrong with you Takeshi?" canon Gokudera demanded stepping forward.
"Nothing," he answered as his sword lit up with his Rain Flames, "I just need all of the Vongola Rings and Arcobaleno Pacifiers."
When the group heard this, they knew who they were speaking to, it wasn't Yamamoto Takeshi, their friend. It was;
"Yukari!"
A sweet smile laced with poison came upon his face. "As they say, bingo!"
"Give Takeshi back now bitch!" the temperamental Hayato spat pissed off at the girl who was controlling his boyfriend.
"Sorry, no can do."
"What are we going to do? That's Yamamoto's body, but. . ." Ryohei trailed off.
Reborn jumped onto the boxer's shoulder and spoke, "You must immobilize him, and if you can't do that. . . well we're force to make sacrifices sometimes."
"Enough talk," Yamamoto/Yukari said moving in for an attack. In a blink of an eye he was able to knock both Decimos off their feet, and grab a hold of their rings.
"Juudaime!" both Gokudera yelled seeing their boss so easily knocked out.
"Are you going to make me to the same thing to you?" Yamamoto/Yukari asked as she put the rings on Yamamoto's fingers.
"Stop it Takeshi! You're being too soft to let this bitch control you!" canon Hayato shouted hoping that his Takeshi could hear him somewhere.
"It's pointless, I'm in control," Yukari scoffed readjusting her grip on the sword. To prove her point, she then went to slice the silverette where he stood.
Closing his eyes, canon Gokudera braced himself for the impact of the sword but opened them when he heard strange sounds from Yamamoto/Yukari.
"Wha. . . Why can't I move?" Yukari questioned as she held the sword millimeters above Gokudera's head.
"Heh. . . even though you control his mind, his body still remembers," Reborn spoke amused at how things were turning against the Watatsumi Boss.
"Tch, well despite this small set back," once again Yukari made the Rain Guardian move so fast he cut down a handful of the people present, "I can still get what I need."
"Cut it out yakyuubaka!" Hayato yelled charging at his boyfriend.
"Get away from me you pest!" Yukari hissed pointing her sword straight at the siverette. While Takeshi's body couldn't attack Gokudera, that didn't mean that Gokudera couldn't "accendently" skewer himself on a sword that just "happened" to be pointing at him that also "happened" to be in Takeshi's hands. "Go die!" When those words were said she had the sword aimed just right so it would hit the Storm Gaurdian when he made contact.
"Ha-Hayato!" Takeshi gasped waking up from his trace to see his Hayato on the wrong end of the sword in his hands.
"No! Stop you're under my control!" Yukari spoke trying to regain control of the body.
"Arg. . ." Yamamoto's momentary control was starting to slip as the world started to black out.
"Yeah, that's right, be a good little puppet."
"Ta. . . ashi. . ." Gokudera grunted out weakly raising one hand and stretching up to whisper something. He breathed out a few words before he was unable to hold himself up and keep consciousness.
"Hayato!" the swordsman said once again completely in control this time. Removing the blade he cradled the limp body close to him as he repeated his lover's name over and over again. Though never once did he get a response back.
xXxXx
"Damnit," Yukari hissed opening her eyes as her control over Yamamoto Takeshi was lost. That brat had a strong will that she wasn't able to break, and she didn't even get one ring that he was able to get. Well at least she knew where their base was, now she could attack them whenever it was most convenient to her.
"Well I guess it's time to deal with other matters. . ." she said get up and heading to the area where her five remaining guardians would be. She had a bone to pick with one of them.
All eyes were on her as she entered the room. No one dared move in fear of her. And they should be afraid of her, she turned her icy gaze at her Lightning Guardian, Junko. A hauntingly sweet smile came across her face. "Junko dear, I thought I told you not to attack that swordsman when he wakes up."
A nervous smile was plastered on the girl's face as she replied, "You did, but I thought- if I could have. . ."
"If you had attacked him, my plans would have been ruined," the Watatsumi Boss said releasing her energy, sending Junko flying to the wall and then to the ground where gravity seemed to be against her as she made a crater in the floor. "I'm quite tolerant of everything that goes on here, but to disobey a direct order is unforgivable, even for me."
"I'm sorry Yukari-sama!" the lavender haired girl chocked out panicking for her life. "I promise I won't do it again!"
"Oh I know you won't. Because you're going to die my dear friend," the cruel female sweetly said before she let all of her mental power go, crushing her Lightning Guardian.
"GE-Ahhhhhh!"
Once the deed was done, she walked over and took the Lightning Mare Ring before she turned back to what was left of her family. "Carry on boys," she said before she glided out of the room, leaving the forgotten body to roit. No one said a thing, communicating with their eyes they all knew what was happening.
Yukari had lost it, and if they didn't do something soon, she would get back to the real world alone. Free to do as she pleased.
Aly: Another chapter done, I don't know why but I'm not quite satisfied with it. Though I don't know what it's missing. . . Oh well Yukari has gone insane, think that last part says it all. Poor Yama, it wasn't his fault but he's going to think it is. And before I forget, I started a new 8059 fic! You may, or may not have heard of it yet, "Monochrome Life" it's something a little different for me and I hope I don't fail at it. Ah. . . I don't have anything to say. Have no idea when I'll update but it will be soon. . . I hope. I'm really excited for it; I'm planning on a very special treat for you readers in the next chapter. Expect a lot of 8059 goodness and fluff. And with that all I have to say is thanks for reading and buh-bye!~ ^_^
