Chapter 6: Rokudo Mukuro
"What are you doing here, Ilario?" Ienari blinked. "Decimo." Ilario smiled. "We have come." "We?" Ienari raised an eyebrow. "So you're not alone." said Reborn. "Where are they?" "Oh, I lost them." "So you were tailing me." scowled Ienari. Tsuna smiled. "Why don't we go in? It's getting chilly outside."
Hibari opened the door and the three of them stepped inside. "What is that noise?" Ilario said, noticing the clanking and chattering next door. "Oh, don't mind it. It doesn't matter." said Tsuna. Hibari walked into the kitchen and began making a pot of tea.
"Now, Storm Guardian." Said Tsuna, a little too curt, causing Ilario to flinch. "Why are you here? Ienari was the only one supposed to be taken into our care." "How could you, after abandoning Decimo?" said Ilario. Hibari glared at Ilario. "You don't understand anything."
"Which part of it? We grew up together. We're childhood friends." said Ilario. "Oh, wonderful." smiled Tsuna. "Why are you smiling, Tsuna?" asked Ienari. "Is that something to be happy?" "No, but I felt relieved. You were never told anything." replied Tsuna.
"This is the legendary almighty ex-Boss Sawada Tsunayoshi supposed to be?" scowled Ilario. "I don't know what you're talking about." Tsuna leaned against Hibari. "Don't lie," said Reborn. "You're Ienari's brother. You could've been the Vongola Decimo." "According to the Ninth, there was a Boss who took over Vongola for a short period of time before Ienari succeeded as the heir. That Boss was abominable. He was even stronger than Primo." said Ilario. "But one day, he and his Guardians disappeared completely."
"Hn." Hibari grunted. Tsun a just stared at Ilario. "You are that Boss, aren't you?" said Ilario. "This is the first time I've heard of it," said Ienari. "Because you weren't listening while I was talking, Baka-Nari!" Reborn kicked Ienari. "Ouch!" Ienari whined.
Tsuna mobile phone then rang. He flipped it and pressed the answer button. "Chief." As he listened to the voice on the other end, Tsuna smile turned into a scowl. After he ended the call, he stood and grabbed his coat. "Another?" said Hibari. "Yeah. I'll be back soon, Kyouya." Tsuna smiled.
Within seconds, Tsuna was gone. "He has work at this hour?" said Ilario. "It's not surprising." said Hibari. "Since it's his work." "What is his occupation?" asked Ilario. "Yeah, I had also wanted to know for a long time." said Ienari. "Eh?" Ilario blinked. "You didn't know?" "No. He wouldn't even tell." said Ienari. "He's Namimori's Investigator." said Hibari.
"Eh?! He works for the force?!" both Ienari and Ilario were stunned. "I'm surprised you never noticed, Baka-Nari." said Reborn. "He always carries a card holder with him. Didn't you see it?" "Oh, that black rectangular leather thingy?" said Ienari. "It was on the table." "That's Tsuna's badge." said Kyouya.
Ienari and Ilario were stunned, and speechless. "No one ever said anything." said Ienari. "You're weaker than Primo. That Boss who disappeared must be very strong if he is even stronger than Primo." said Reborn. "You're going to undergo more training, starting tomorrow."
Tsuna drove Hibari's bike to the crime scene. "What's the situation?" said Tsuna. "Two girls, died instantly after two bullets punched through their skulls." said an officer. He had golden shoulder-long hair. "Good evening, Sil." said Tsuna. "Good evening, High Investigator Sawada Tsunayoshi." he saluted.
"Tsunayoshi." the chief smiled. "I'm glad you made it." "You were the one who called me middle of the night!" said Tsuna. "It's only eight." said the Chief. Tsuna scowled. "I have a guest. I left Kyouya with them. Just hope he won't bite them all to death." "Maybe you should've brought them all along," chuckled the Chief. "And ruin the crime scene? No way." said Tsuna.
"They're from Vongola. Do you think they're that incompetent?" sighed the Chief. "Trust them more, like they did for you." "That was a long time ago, Chief Kuroyuri. I won't go back anymore." said Tsuna.
"Er…High Investigator?" a forensic officer interrupted. "Yes?" Tsuna turned. "I think you should see this." he pointed to a tattoo on the victim's forearms. "They're involved in the underworld." the ever so-famous inspector from Kokuyo has appeared again, along with his assistants.
"Mukuro." greeted Tsuna. "And you're being followed." he glanced at the shadows behind Ken and Chikusa. "Oya, oya, it seems I was." chuckled Mukuro. "Drag them out." Ken and Chikusa surrounded the shadows and pulled them into the light. "Stop!" a yell pierced through the night.
"If only you didn't follow Mukuro here." said Tsuna. "What were you doing, Kyouya?" Hibari approached them from the opposite direction. "Hn. They were interested in your job, Tsunayoshi." "Not funny, Kyouya." scowled Tsuna.
"That is the Kan's Mark." said Reborn. "We are well aware of it." said Chrome. "That's why we're here." "Mukuro, Sil, Kyouya, let's go." said Tsuna. "What about us?" said Ienari. "Stay here. Or go home. You're not part of this." said Tsuna
And just like that, Ienari and Ilario were left behind with the Chief Head at the crime scene. "Did you know Sawada Tsunayoshi before?" said Reborn. "Vongola's most trusted hitman, Reborn." said Chief Kuroyuri. Reborn frowned. "Who are you?" "I'll advice you, don't go near Tsunayoshi, or you'll regret it." said Chief.
"Why do you know so much about him than his younger brother?" said Chief Kuroyuri. "Younger brother?" Chief eyed Ienari. "Tsunayoshi didn't have a younger brother." "He didn't?!" Ienari eyes widened. "Then who am I?" "He didn't have a younger brother, but he had a twin brother." said Chief.
"Twin? Impossible. Ienari is sixteen." said Ilario. "I don't know. You have to ask Tsunayoshi, though I doubt he'll tell you anything. It took me years just to persuade him to work for me." replied the chief.
"What happened?" asked Ilario. "I cannot say. Only Tsunayoshi is allowed to speak of it." "Hmph. Even Mukuro-sama won't be happy if you did." scoffed Ken. "Who are you people?" said Ilario. "We're the police force from Kokuyo." said Chrome. "Kokuyo? The neighbouring town?" Ienari blinked. "Why did you come all the way here?" "We only follow Mukuro-sama orders, and it got nothing to do with you." said Ken.
"Oi, Tsuna." Sil whispered. "What?" Tsuna stared at the warehouse. It was dark, and silent. "Why are we here? It's impossible for them to hide so near the crime scene. They probably on the run already." said Sil. "Shut up and watch. They'll come." whispered Tsuna.
After waiting for what it feels like forever, a gang of rough looking men walked out of the warehouse. "Kufufufu. Seems like Tsunayoshi was right." chuckled Mukuro. "Get them!" said Tsuna. Hibari already had his beloved tonfas in his hands, charging towards the gangsters. The first hit sent a number of them crashing into the warehouse.
"What was that sound?" wondered Ienari. "Let's go check it out." said Ilario. "The fight has begun." said Chief. "Look carefully with your own eyes." Ienari and Ilario raced towards the scene, with Reborn on top of Ienari's head.
When they arrived at the scene, a smiling Hibari and a chuckling Mukuro was having a competition on who could defeat more. Tsuna stepped out of his hiding spot. He sighed. "Stop that, both of you." "Oya, oya," chuckled Mukuro. "Hn." Hibari grunted. "They deserved it."
The leader of the mass of gangsters glared at Tsuna. "Who dares to disturb our turf, the Kan? "Kan? That makes things much easier." smiled Tsuna. "Go to hell." a dying will flame ignited on his forehead, strong and bright. "That's….deathperation flames!" said Ilario. "How…" "As I suspected, he must be Vongola's ex-Boss." said Reborn. "I remember that flame."
Tsuna's gloves covered in flames, one swing sent the mass of gangsters crashing. They barely survived. "This is punishment for kidnapping innocent girls and forced them into prostitution. After you got bored with them, you killed them, Kan." said Tsuna.
"That is not even the normal mode. It's the Hyper Dying Will Mode." said Reborn. "And even stronger than Baka-Nari." Mukuro and Hibari put away their weapons. Tsuna extinguished the deathperation flames. "Chief, I got him." Tsuna pulled the leader from the ground. The gangster paled. "Please forgive me! Put me down! Don't kill me!" Tsuna stared at him. "Who's going to kill you?" "You're not?" said Ilario.
"Like hell I would." said Tsuna. "He's yours." he threw the gangster to Sil. "Goodbye. Come, Kyouya." Tsuna and Kyouya were gone. They hopped onto the bike Tsuna drove out. Hibari started the engine and both of them were gone.
"The last time I ever saw that kind of flame was sixteen years ago." said Reborn. "The ex-Boss. Is he really him?" said Ilario. "He must be. No one else could produce such flames." replied Reborn.
"We should go too. Mother's going to get mad if we don't." said Ienari. "Eh? Mother?" said Ilario. "Yeah. That house belongs to my mother." replied Ienari, answering Ilario's questions. "Have a safe trip," smiled Chief Kuroyuri. "We'll meet again."
"Kufufufu. Tsunayoshi's family is interesting." chuckled Mukuro. "Rokudo Mukuro." said Reborn. "Oya?" Mukuro blinked. "I'm right, aren't I?" said Reborn. "The one and only able to escape from the Vindice in history." "He was caught by Vindice before?!" Ienari and Ilario paled. "Kufufufu. Yes, I am Rokudo Mukuro, one who escaped from Vindice sixteen years ago, Sun Pacifier of the Acrobaleno." said Mukuro. Reborn frowned. He knows. "Mukuro-sama!" Mukuro's assistants approached them.
"Let's go, everyone. The Mist will forever be our shield. Kufufufu." the thick fog of Mist covered them and they were gone. "What an unsettling bunch. How did Tsunayoshi become friends with them?" said Sil. "Don't ask, silly. You'll die if you pry too much." said Chief Kuroyuri. "Let's go."
When Ienari and Ilario returned, the restaurant staff, as well as Nana was eating dinner. Tsuna and Hibari were eating on the couch, since Hibari disliked crowds too much. "Welcome back~" Nana smiled. "Who are these people?" said Ilario. "Is that your friend?" Nana glanced at Ilario. "Ah, yes, Mother." replied Ienari. "Welcome!" Nana smiled. Ilario bowed. "Thank you for taking care of me."
"These are the staff from the restaurant." said Ienari. "Huh? Restaurant? The one next door? Your family owns it?!" blinked Ilario. "Yep!" Yamamoto grinned. "You're Ienari's friend?" "Yeah…" said Ilario.
The dinner was cheerful. It was the first time Ienari had seen so many people gathered around just for dinner. Ienari learnt two names who were Tsuna's childhood friends who worked at the restaurant as well: Yamamoto Takeshi and Gokudera Hayato.
Tsuna and Hibari got sleepy after an investigation. They went ahead and retired for the night. "You were Tsuna's Guardians, weren't you?" said Reborn. Gokudera and Yamamoto flinched. "D..don't scare me, dude!" laughed Yamamoto after mere seconds. "I am a chef." "Tsuna was the ex-Boss. You, now I remember. You are the Rain Guardian, Yamamoto Takeshi, and the Storm Guardian, Gokudera Hayato." said Reborn.
