Reunion
Natsu stared at the back of a young boy, looking similar to his older brother when they were young.
The boy sniffed as he crouched holding a rabbit doll.
". . . Tuna-nii?" Natsu asked looking surprised.
"Why?" The little boy muttered out as he stood up from his spot.
"I-is that really you?" Taking a step closer the teen reached out a hand to the kid, trying to gasp his shoulder. "Where have you been?" The lad asked smiling happily.
"Why?" The boy asked again louder this time.
"W-what?" Natsu stopped in his tracks.
"Why?" The little boy turned slowly to him . . . "Why did you let me die?" A pair of socket less eyes stared the brunet.
Natsu stood there stunned. Taking a step back, he trembled. "W-what happened to you, Tuna-nii?"Staring at once his loveable brother warm eyes he felt nauseous, wanting to throw up.
"Why did you have to leave me?" The socket less eyes started to cry droplet of blood onto his pale cheesk. "I was a burden wasn't I?" He took a step forward which Natsu took a step back.
"W-wait!"
"You did hate me . . . that's why you let her kill me."
"No! That wasn't it! Please Tuna-nii! Please stop it!" Suddenly falling backward and a couple yards away from the little boy, Natsu's eyes began to become teary.
"Lies!" The boy stopped lips in a scowl. ". . . Everyone lied to me . . ."
"Stop it! Please!" Clutching his head, the teen shook it. "No! No more!"
". . . Why did I have to die? Why was I the one who deserved it? What did I even do?"
"You didn't!" Looking at the boy again, Natsu eyes widen at the person in front of him . . . "T-tsunayoshi-onii-san?"
"Why couldn't it have been you?" There right in front of Natsu was a look alike of himself in the Namimori school uniform. Blood stained the shirt, bruises on the arms and face, a trail of blood behind the lookalike. The only difference was still the eyes.
"Please stop it! Stop it! Shut up! He would never say something like that! Stop it!" Standing up and running away, the Vongola Decimo ran into darkness listening to the voice of his older brother.
"You left me for dead."
"I thought you loved me?"
"Why did it have to be me?"
"I'm dead because of you."
.
.
.
". . . I hate you."
"SHUT UP! JUST SHUT THE HELL UP!"
"Kekekeke~"
Running into something the lad fell once more.
"STOP IT!"
"Y-y-you killed h-h-h-him kekekekeke~"
"Shut up! It wasn't my fault!"
"O-oh~ but i-it is~"
". . ." Opening his eyes slowly, Sawada Natsuyoshi stared at his own blood stained hands . . . a little bloody boy lay couple of feet away.
"AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
. . . . .
"AAAAHHHHHHHHHH!" Waking in the middle of the night, Natsu woke up everybody in the house.
Reborn jumped at the sudden scream from his student who suddenly started knocking stuff off his room.
"NO! Stop it! Stop it! It wasn't me!" Natsu started to pound the wall with his bruised fists.
"Tch!" Getting off his hammock, the baby hitman transformed Leon into a gun.
"Natsu-chan!" Nana burst in the room with Fuuta, Lambo, and I-pin outside the hallway looking worried.
Grabbing the poor teens head and placing it onto her chest, she tried to calm him down.
Reborn hid his gun quickly and walked toward the duo.
Nana sat on the ground with Natsu on her lap crying. Sighing tiredly, the brunette woman stroked his locks gently.
"I-I'm sorry . . ." The Don muttered out.
"Shhh. It's not your fault." Smiling sadly, she turned her head to Reborn who stared back at her.
"This is the third time, Maman." Reborn said blankly.
"Reborn-san please . . . I tried. I really tried."
"Then let me have a talk with him . . ."
". . . Hai."
. . . . .
"Oujo-sama?" Chrome called out as she opened the door to Dolly's room. "Did you call-" The purple hair girl gasp at the sight.
". . . Chrome . . . call Mukuro and the other's . . . tell them to hurry up with their part of the mission." A bloody Dolly smiled sweetly at her, hands holding a beat-up Tsuna by the collar.
"H-hai!" Doing as the girl commanded, Chrome ran to find the nearest phone.
". . . Claire."
Out of the shadows came Claire, eyes closed, not wanting to see the sight. ". . ."
"Heal Tsuna with your sun flames and please clean my sheets and walls. Later . . . please call Haruka Minako . . ."
"Hai." Taking the boy away from Dolly, the blood soaked girl walked out.
. . . . .
Arriving to her throne, she slumped in sighing.
". . . Stupid demon." She scowled.
"Dolly . . ."
Dolly looked down from the stairs that held her throne.
"Oh! Minako- No its Minato now right?"
Down on the bottom was a girl with striking purple hair slightly covering her deathly dark blue orbs. She wore a sleeveless orange shirt, showing a little portion of her stomach, topped with a light gray jacket with sleeves reaching her elbows. On her bottom were some shorts reaching midway of her thigh along with some stripe socks, the left one has a hole in it. And to finish it off was some black flats.
"Yes . . . I hear you wanted me?"
A grin came upon the white hair girl's face, eyes flashing devilishly.
"I need you to go undercover in the Sawada household please?"
. . . . .
Natsu stared at the little kid no older than ten . . . with amazing striking purple hair that is.
". . . Can I help you?" He asked a little annoyed at being woken so early on a weekend.
The boy stared at him blankly.
". . . Are you Sawada Natsuyoshi?" He asked hands inside his jacket pockets.
". . . Yeah."
"I am Haruka Minato, Reborn should know me since I did work with him one time . . ."
"Reborn?"
"I will not repeat myself."
". . . Great . . . another assassin . . ." Natsu muttered to himself, gesturing the lad in.
"I am no assassin . . . kind of." Walking in, the boy didn't bother to take his shoes off as he walked further into the house.
". . ." Cursing himself for being heard, the teen closed the door behind him and awkwardly followed the purple headed boy.
"Now . . . where is Reborn?" Stopping in the living room, Minato took a seat on the couch lazily.
". . . Uh . . . upstairs- Ack! REBORN!" Turning around to see the baby hitman all dress up and prepared for the day, Minato straiten himself up.
"Che. Dame-Natsu, do not let strangers in so easily or else you will be killed. I have a lot to teach you I see. Sigh."
"For the love of- Move your gun out of my face!"
"Are you commanding me?" A shiver ran down Natsu's back.
"P-please?"
". . . Hmph." Changing Leon back into his original form, the baby hitman jumped onto the coffee table facing the guest.
". . . What is your business here Haruka Minato." He commanded.
"Good to see you again, Reborn-san." The lad blankly said resisting the urge to roll his eyes.
". . ."
Clearing his throat up, he cross his feet together and placed his chin onto his hands that were on his knees. "I would like to have your permission for staying here for a while. You see . . . I have some business here and some men are after me for my hacking abilities and staying in some hotel won't help."
"Hacking? Wait . . . your just a kid!" The don pointed an accusing finger at him.
"I am ten. Plus, even if I am one, I'm sure more mature then you Vongola Don." The purple hair boy strike back while Natsu lowered his hand, knowing it was true for some reason.
"Haruka Minato is one of the top five hackers in the mafia world, Dame-Natsu. Don't be fooled of his age or looks, he knows more than you think. He's also a sneer gun user. His known name in the mafia world is Silent Fire."
"Well anyways, back to the topic. I would like to stay here for a bit until things calm down. I will repay you with my knowledge and hacking if that is all."
"Hm . . . What have you done this time?"
The boy smirked. "Something devious like usual . . . A kid needs some fun at times."
`". . ." Natsu stared back and forth at the two Mafioso as they smirked. "Can I ever catch a break?"
"Fine. You can stay." Reborn answered. "For your first repayment, I need you to look up some people who have been causing destruction to Namimori middle school and the discipline committee. They had already gotten Vongola's Sun guardian and Storm guardian."
"Do they go by a name by chance?"
". . . The Kokuyo Gang." Natsu answered, eyes sparking orange for a second.
Reborn smirked as well as the other.
"Well~ I'll get started."
. . . . .
Tsuna woke up.
Staring at the ceiling above him, he couldn't recall what had happened or why he felt so much pain . . . and a burning wound on the right of his stomach.
He sat up slowly with a small groan. Lifting his somehow changed white shirt to see the wound, his eyes widen.
On his stomach was a cross shape burn mark decorated with thrones. It looked as if it was burned into his skin seeing it wasn't a tattoo.
". . ."
". . . Your awake I see, Kufufufu." Lifting his head in front of him to only see Rokudo Mukuro leaning against the wall with a playful smirk, Tsuna placed his shirt back down.
"How long have I been sleeping?" He asked blankly while proceeding to get out of the bed.
"Three days. I wouldn't try that if I were you."
Just on cue as Tsuna stood up, he felt pain vibrating from his legs to his head. Sitting down on the wooden floor as half of his body leaned onto the bed, the blond gasped for air.
"Dolly hit you pretty hard, paralyzing you for a bit with some poison to. You should just rest for some few more days, Kufufu."
". . . I-I'm alright."
Mukuro scowled. "Fine. Don't say I didn't warn you." And like that, the older teen disappeared using his mist flames.
"Urg." Standing once more while ignoring the pain, Tsuna leaned onto the red wall gasping. Sweat dripped down his pale face as he took a step to the door before him.
"You should listen to Mukuro, Tsunayoshi."
Tsuna spun around to only suddenly go onto his knees, leaning his head onto the wall.
"M-my Lady . . ." He said weekly.
Dolly sighed.
Brushing off her red dress, she stood up off the bed she sat on and walked toward him looking quite worried. Crouching down to be face to face with the blond, she cupped his cheeks with both her hands and leaned in. "Tsunayoshi . . . I order you to rest."
"B-but My Lady-"
Her eyes narrowed. "Are you disobeying me?"
Tsuna gulped. "N-no! Never!"
"Then do as I order, Tsunayoshi." Her nails began to sink into his cheeks almost causing it to bleed if she went any further.
"Hai!"
Her eyes softened as she gave him a warm smile. "Good." Letting go of his cheeks, she stood up reaching out a hand to him. "Go back to bed and rest."
". . .Hai." Grabbing the hand slowly, he stood up following Dolly back to the bed where she tucked him in.
As Tsuna's eyes began to drift off into sleep, he caught one last glance at the white hair girl who stroked his blond locks.
". . . I'm so sorry Tsuna." Was the last thing he heard as he went into dreamland.
. . . . .
Dolly's shoes were the only sound in the dark hallways as she walked to her destination.
Hands by her side as her eyes stared blankly before her, not even showing a little hint of being scared.
Turning a left, she approached a white door designed with gold lining. Gasping the gold knob, she muttered a small chant not really audible to be heard to the human ears.
Something 'clicked' at the other side of the door.
Turning the knob, she entered into the dark room passing by strange objects as she did. Going in deeper, a small glint was shown at the other end. She stepped before it looking blankly.
She sighed. "Didn't I order Mike to go buy more tea?"
. . . . .
Natsu sat in his room looking at his tutor with curiosity shown in his eyes.
Reborn had suddenly asked (commanded) him to come to his room when dinner was done and not being able to deny him unless he wanted to die, the Don followed suite.
"Reborn. What did you wanted?" He asked, leaning in as his fingers intersected with each other.
"Natsu."
Natsu raised a brow. He had never heard Reborn call him just plain Natsu before. His Hyper Intuition (HI) acted up, not liking what was coming next. "Yes?"
". . . We're going to talk about your brother."
.
.
.
Dead silence filled the room as the two stared at each other blankly.
". . . What is there to talk about?" The teen closed his eyes.
Reborn stayed silent for another few seconds, not liking the aura of his student right now. "Get over him."
Natsu's eyes shot open as he stood up quickly. "WHAT?!" He shouted.
"Get over him. It's been six years since he went missing. The only thing he could possibly be is six feet underground." The hitman said calmly, not skipping a beat.
"How would you know? He could possibly be still alive! And you're telling me to give up my hope of knowing he is just out there somewhere?"
"Yes. Exactly."
"No! Never!" Natsu slammed his hands onto the table, nearly missing Reborn as the Arcobeleno only looked irritated. "He is my elder brother Reborn! He was supposed to be the Vongola Decimo not me! He is family! Aren't you the one who said family comes first?!"
"That's why I told you to get over him."
"Why should I-"
"You are hurting your mother Dame-Natsu!"
Natsu flinched at the sudden change of voice.
"You are hurting her and yourself. If you keep on reminiscing on the past, you will only stay in the past and will never move on. Face the truth and stop telling yourself a lie Dame-Natsu. It's been six years since then. He is probably dead. Even the Vongola couldn't find him at that time."
". . ." Natsu's bangs shadowed his eyes. He knew every word Reborn had said was true. He had been hurting his dear mother . . . and himself in hope believing his brother was still out there but . . . a little part of himself denied it.
A single tear drop spilled from his chocolate orb as he clenched his hand into a fist. Staring at the photo behind his tutor of him and his older brother holding cookies, he ran out of his room . . . out of the house . . .
Reborn only stared at the spot his student once was. Sighing, he could only wait.
. . . . .
Minato looked at the opened front door Natsu had jammed opened as he ran in the streets going somewhere.
He had heard the conversation since the lad was yelling, and only stared blankly up the stair the baby hitman stood at top.
"Something happened?"
". . ." Reborn did not reply. He turned around and retreated back to Natsu's room to wait.
Minato went to close the door. Locking it, he only smirked.
"Natsuyoshi . . . No wander you look like the little butler."
. . . . .
Akane yawned as she walked behind her adoptive brother's back, hands behind her head.
It was night and the two were currently patrolling.
She could have stayed at home but her dear loveable and scary mother forced her to go and help him out. Grabbing a Jolly-rancher in her pocket, she placed the cherry flavor in her mouth. "Want one Kyo-nii?" She waved a blue one to him.
Hibari only grunted.
Noting it was a 'no', she placed it back where she had gotten it from and began what she was doing before . . . walking.
. . . . .
The duo had arrived in some sort of amusement park for some odd reason.
"Now how had we come here? I thought Kokuyo Land was at the other side of town of where we were patrolling?" Akane thought raising a brow. She looked over at Hibari who only kicked the gate opened and enter as if he owned the place. Sweatdropping at the act, she took out her daggers she hid under her school uniform skirt (she couldn't change due to suddenly being threatened out by Misaki) and followed in. Normally she would have brought her Katana, but she was in a rush and forgot about it and took the only thing she had with her.
Hibari was already in some hallway as Akane was outside, not wanting to go in some scary place. Tonfa's in his gasp, he followed a certain sweet scent of Pineapples for some odd reasons.
"Kufufufufu~."
The prefect quickly positioned himself into attack mode.
"Who are you herbivore? Show yourself or I'll bite you to death."
.
.
.
"That's some kinky catch phrase there, Skylark-kun . . ." The voice sounded as if it was amused.
"Kinky?" Hibari raised a brow as he muttered out. "Hn."
"Well anyways . . . I hear you had been defeated by a doctor who uses misquotes . . . what was his name again? Ah! Kufufufu~ Trident Shamal."
The prefect glared before him as a foot stepped out of the dark, allowing him to see a boot.
"Now what was that injection he used onto you?"
Hibari dashed forward and attacked . . . only to be met by some sort of mist.
"Ah! Yes, I now remember. Kufufufufu~"
"!" Smelling a certain smell, the black hair teen felt heavy. Looking up and before him, the prefect saw some tree's with pink flowers as some of its petals fluttered by . . .
"Sakura Disorientation Syndrome."
. . . . .
Akane suddenly became worried as she waited for Hibari. He had not shown up for nearly an hour. He knew well to not leave her alone for that long!
Shivering at the breeze that just came by, she decided to wait a couple more minutes until 'gulp' go searching for him in that building.
Few minutes passed by as the teen began to get herself prepared to go in.
"If I find you just having a little tea party then I'm going to be the one to bite you to death, Kyoya." She muttered out.
Entering the building, she walked further in the hallway that showed a lot of mirror's that shown her in different shapes and sizes.
"Gasp! I do not look that big!" About to attack her reflection, she saw the one she was looking for . . .
"Kyoya-nii!" She exclaimed turning around. "Where have you been? I was freezing to death out there not to mention starving. I ate my last jolly-rancher to!" Stomping toward him, Akane could only stare with wide eyes at what he done next.
"Akane." Hibari Kyoya gasped her cheek showing a small smile toward her.
". . ." Said girl blinked before a blush came upon her cheek . . . Was this really the scary prefect?
"Sorry to keep you waiting." He tilted his head to the side still smiling.
"N-no! Not at all!" The red on her face became deeper as she slightly had a heart-attack.
Hibari chuckled. "You look adorable when you blush."
.
.
.
Something was seriously wrong with the prefect.
Akane felt like she could faint. Did the Hibari Kyoya A.K.A head prefect of Namimori and demon just say . . . adorable to her?
The one who always annoyed him when she was bored.
The one who stole his tonfa's and decorated it with candy stickers.
The one that turned stone cold right now?
"Akane?" Hibari raised an eyebrow . . .
Getting out of her . . . well shock, the female teen shook her head and leaned into him. ". . . Who in the world are you?" She demanded as she placed her dagger near his throat, glaring at the lad.
". . ." Hibari smirked . . . differently.
"Kufufufu~ A pleasure to meet you." Hibari suddenly disappeared into some kind of mist, showing a man in the Kokuyo uniform and well . . . fruit hair cut.
"Y-y-you're!"
"Ah. Already know who I am miss?"
"Y-y-you-"
Mukuro smirk grew as the girl began to tremble.
"You're the Pineapple king! Dude I'm so damn sorry! I didn't mean to by 100 of your fellow pineapple but you see, me and my mom were making smoothies and Pineapple's happen to be her favorites! Please don't be upset! I can even give you some pictures of them before their last moment. Here! You see! Here's one with sunglasses! Oh! And another with its girlfriend, wait I think boyfriend. Ok back to the subject-" Akane was cut off as a trident knocked her dagger out of her gasp, pointing its tip on her neck allowing a drop of blood to spill out.
"Shut up."
"P-please don't kill me M-mr. Pineapple King." She muttered as she stared at the weapon.
A tick mark appeared on top of his head as he deepened his weapon into her skin. "I have a message for you to send to some people."
"H-hai."
"Kufufufufu~ good. Tell the Sawada brat and his little gang to come back here in two days or else."
"Wait. Miserable-Nastu? Why him- Okie Dokie!" Sweating at the sudden more pain she received, she complied.
"Good."
. . . . .
Natsu was out at night sitting on a swing in the park he had once played with his . . . older brother.
"Ne ne ne! Tuna-nii!" A young Natsu exclaimed happily with a large grin.
"H-hai?" His look alike titled his head curiously.
"I saw some girls squealing a little while ago! They said something about Yaoi. What's Yaoi?"
"Yaoi? I don't know. Let's ask Kaa-san!" And off the duo went to ask their mother.
Let's just say she kept on dodging the question.
Natsu chuckled sadly as he remembered the small flashback.
Staring up at the night sky seeing the stars and the full-moon, tears began to spill. "If only I knew where you are . . ."
"Excuse me. Can you tell me how to get this brand of tea?" A voice said behind him.
Jumping a bit, the decimo wiped his tears quickly. "A-ah! W-what type are you looking for-" Turning around, Natsu eyes widen as if ready to burst out. His skin paled as he looked at the teen before him.
"My Lady actually wanted a couple different ones actually."
.
.
.
"T-tsuna?"
The blond before him raised a brow.
"I'm sorry but . . . have we met?"
