Ch. 3 – A Destructive Meeting
Tsuna sits in class with his head in his hand. His headache is turning into a massive migraine. 'Stupid Reborn with his stupid hammer! Why couldn't he just wake me up normally? Seriously, hammers aren't even used for that! He could injure someone horribly!'
'That's the point.'
'Shut up, voice in my head that makes a lot of sense.'
'Now you're just being mean.'
'I don't care! I have a migraine the size of Japan, and you're not helping! Go away!"
'Fine, you jerk.'
The argument in his head – he should really get that checked soon – causes him to miss the entrance of the new transfer student. He doesn't, however, miss the searing glare directed at him. Tsuna's head snaps up and his chocolate orbs lock with sharp, green ones. He shivers slightly. Not from fear, but anticipation.
'Smoking Bomb Hayato, is it? So, he's the person Reborn was talking about. I wonder what position he's going to play. Knight? Rook? Maybe a pawn?' Tsuna shakes his head, breaking eye contact. 'No, never a pawn. He can't be controlled like that. . . . Except by maybe the bianco-capelli maniaco.'
Tsuna's desk is kicked and he tumbles to the ground, chair falling on top of him. He lets out a quiet whimper and cowers beneath a clear and mocking gaze.
"Gokudera-san! Your seat's not over there!" Nezu-sensei barks, scolding him. Shoulder-length silver hair whips around and Gokudera stalks towards the front corner of the classroom. Tsuna lets out a sigh of relief and rights his desk and chair.
"Hey, Tsuna, have you guy's met somewhere before?" One of his neighbors asks, leaning closer. Tsuna shakes his head and shivers for affect.
"No, way!"
When Tsuna sat behind the school gym for lunch, he truly didn't expect Gokudera to follow him back there. Not that he's complaining or anything. He just wanted this confrontation to not happen on school grounds. Especially when Hana and Kyoko are eating lunch right around the corner under a few shady trees.
Though, Tsuna can't help but to comment as Gokudera pulls out a cigarette, lights it, and draws a deep breath. "Y-you can't s-smoke on school g-grounds." Gokudera scoffs at him and pulls the cigarette out.
"I don't care. Why would I listen to you anyway? You're not even Vongola material, much less boss material," he snarls, "Your just some dame kid who can't do anything." Following this statement, he pulls out a stick of dynamite and flings it. "Go die."
Tsuna tries scrambling away from the wall but trips. The wall explodes and chunks of concrete and plaster crash down from above and the side. His arms snap over his head in fragile protection as he curls in a fetal position. He feels something bend incorrectly and then snap! He screams out in agony. His head, clouded by pain, slowly acknowledges the fact everything's fallen silent.
Tsuna waits for a few seconds, and then shifts slightly. A high-pitched whimper escapes him and echoes quietly against the concrete. 'I need to get out of here.' His lips thin and he clenches his teeth. He pushes his left hand outward and heaves a piece of concrete off. Another piece. Another. A small hole, barely big enough for his small body opens and light shines through.
His breath is coming in ragged gasps as crawls out and lurches to his feet. Though tottering, a possible bruise growing on his back, and arm broken in two places for sure, his gaze rests on Gokudera steady and clear.
"Che. Thought you would have died," Gokudera growls out and lights another dynamite. He tosses it towards him again and waits. Tsuna limps away swiftly and jumps away. He comes up rolling and starts running toward the opposite end of the gym.
'Need to get away from Hana and Kyoko!' He turns the corner and rapidly makes another, hoping to throw Gokudera off. Hope shattering, he stares unbelieving at a silver-haired menace. 'How the fudge did he get there so fast!" He diverts his attention to a dozen sticks of dynamite coming his way, forcing him to twist in an ungodly way.
"Stop i-it! You're going to g-get us all h-hurt!" Tsuna yelps out.
"Ha! Stay still and I won't get hurt," Gokudera yells, pulling out more dynamite than he has been using. "Take this! Triple Bomb!" As he lights them, one slips from his fingers and he watches it tumble to the ground. The gap made causes the rest to fall.
'This is it. I'm going to die!' He closes his eyes and waits in trepidation.
Tsuna rushes forward barely aware of dodging something. He can't let him die! He's still needed! He shoves his full weight on him and they both crash on the ground. The explosion tilts his world and he loses his sense of direction. Dirt rains down on him and the pressure on his bruise makes him yell out. His body can't take the abuse any longer and pain overloads his senses. He passes out on top of Gokudera.
Gokudera opens his eyes and they widen. The decimo-wannabe saved him! He can't believe it! He lifts the light brunette off of him and to the side. The wannabe whimpers in his unconscious state and he tries to be more careful. He sits up and hovers over him.
He hears a gasp and turns his head slightly. Two girls, who he thinks he's seen in his class, are standing there. One has her hand to her mouth and the other is glaring at him.
The brown-haired one stomps forward and stands in front of him. "Oi! What are you doing to Sawada?" The orange-head rushes to Sawada(?)'s side and falls to her knees. She brushes his hair back and tries to wake him up.
"Hey! Gokudera-san! I'm talking to you. What were you doing to Sawada?" The other girl orders, hands on her hips. He shakes his head and stutters out, "H-he s-saved m-me." The girl frowns and turns to the one on the ground.
"Kyoko, how is he?" Kyoko places her hand on his pulse.
"He's alive," she says grimly, "But his arm is broken and a piece is sticking out." She moves her body slightly and a white bone protruding out of Sawada's elbow comes into view. She lightly presses on his ribs and a whimper issues forth. "I think a few ribs are cracked, one might have pierced a lung, and he looks to be burnt slightly." She looks up at them both. "He needs a hospital now. I can only try to staunch the blood. Hana."
Hana nods and slides out a slide phone. Before she dials the emergency number, Reborn takes her phone and jumps away.
"What was that for baby!" Reborn frowns and walks towards Gokudera.
"You were not supposed to kill him," Reborn scolds and tips his gun at him. Gokudera swallows and darts his eyes around. They land on Sawada and he swallows again.
"I didn't think he would save me." Kyoko whips around and hisses at him. "You're right! You didn't think. Tsuna is seriously injured and you only have a few scratches. He might die because of your stupidity!" Hana lies a hand on her arm and Kyoko calms down a little bit. She rips at her shirt and makes strips. Putting pressure on his wounds with the make-do bandages, she whispers comforting words to him.
"I can heal him for you," Reborn says and three heads whip toward him. 'He can save Jyuudaime!' Gokudera doesn't know why he wants to serve Tsuna, except that he just wants to. The boy saved him. Maybe he wants to repay him.
With multiple nods, Reborn walks forward and leans over Tsuna. A harsh color of yellow covers his hands and he puts them over Tsuna. As Gokudera watches Reborn heal Tsuna, he hopes, 'Please save Jyuudaime, Reborn!'
A bright light encases the scene and Gokudera shields his eyes. When the light dims down, his arm goes down. Taking a look at his Jyuudaime, he gasps. He is perfectly healed! No scratches, no bones sticking out, no bruises, and no burns! He looks to be sleeping peacefully.
"Thank you, baby," Hana says, inclining her head. Reborn nods back, and then turns to Gokudera.
"Gokudera, carry him to the clinic." He turns to the girls. "Go back to class, Hana, Kyoko."
"No," Hana states and Kyoko nods. "We are coming with, whether you like it or not." Reborn stares at them, something unreadable in his eyes. After a few seconds, he nods and starts walking to the clinic.
"Come, then."
Tsuna opens his eyes and blinks. A white ceiling stares down at him and he hears curtains rustle. He sits up and looks around the enclosed space. 'I must be in the infirmiry. Strange, I remember being behind the school and fighting with Gokudera-san.' He looks at the white curtains for a little bit then jumps up. 'Gokudera-san! I hope he's alright.'
Pulling open the curtains, he releases a breath of relief. Gokudera is sitting down, drinking tea and talking to Reborn. He only has a few scratches on his cheek. Tsuna jumps forward and stands in front of Gokudera, gaining the attention of all the people.
"I'm so glad you're all right, Gokudera-san! You only got a few scratches too! What a relief," Tsuna cries and slides to the floor. His smile brightens the room and his eyes sparkle.
"Oi! You almost got killed, Sawada! You're glad he's fine! You should be worried about yourself," Hana barks out, ending her conversation with Kyoko. Tsuna shudders and turns to Hana.
"Kurokawa-san? Sasagawa-san? What are you both doing here?" Tsuna asks. Kyoko sits next to him and puts a hand on his shoulder.
"We were worried about you. You were going to die if you didn't get to a hospital, but Reborn fixed you all up!" Kyoko smiles sunnily.
"Oh, well thank you, Reborn," Tsuna says and bows slightly. Reborn nods, then turns to the girls.
"Now that Tsuna's awake, you girls can tell me why you didn't find it strange for a baby to use flames and heal him perfectly from a dying state."
A/N – That's all I have for this chapter.
I decided to write a little something for a different story below this. I want you guys to decide if I should continue Jokers Know All or write this other one. I will only write one.
Burlone: Joker
Malizia - mischief
Burlone Games – is the title.
"Decimo! You need to hear this!" A subordinate of the Vongola family yells. He bursts into the meeting room and fast walks towards the far chair. The four bosses freeze up slightly at the intrusion, but relax a moment later.
Fredrico, the Decimo, calls to his subordinate, annoyed. "Very well, what is it?" The man stutters slightly and set a tape recorder down. "It's this sir. We verified it to be real and a serious issue."
Dino leans forwards and rests his head on his hand. "A recorder?" Byakuran sits and just pops in another marshmallow. Uni slides forward in her seat and asks, "Could we listen as well? We are negotiating an alliance, after all." Fredrico nods and waves a hand. The subordinate bows and back out of the room. He clicks play and they all wait.
A mischievous cackle echoes out throughout the room, originating from the recorder.
"Hello, hello, Vongola Decimo,"
"Byakuran of the Gesso familigia,"
"Dino of the Cavallone familigia,"
"Uni of the Arcobaleno."
"You all may call me Malizia."
"We look forward to meeting you."
"We are the Burlone familigia."
"We are a relatively new family."
"We also have rather small numbers."
"I hope you can get along with my family members."
"Don't take offense with their attitudes."
"They just like to play."
"Which reminds me,"
"Shall we play a game?"
A/N- There it is! I hope you like it. I like the new one better, but i'm letting you guys decide.
It's set when Tsuna would be 20 years old. So everyone is older.
I know it doesn't give you much to go on, but that's what I'm all about. Writing cliffies~ . . . And vague scenes. *Hides in a corner*
It might take me a little while longer than a week to update this one because of the chapter contents and plot I must decide on.
Please answer! And review while you're at it.
