Lily: I've been practising whistling for about three days, and it's working! I can whistle (sort of...not really).
Tsuna: Gore time.
Lily: Yeah...sorry to all those people who don't want the gore, but sorry, I needed an excuse for Tsuna to leave the house.
Tsuna: Leave the house?
Lily: :D *sly grin*
Tsuna: ...Lily does not own Katekyo Hitman Reborn. If she did, there would be so much yaoi. So much yaoi...
Lily: :) Mostly 1827 and... Wait what's the number for Gokudera x Yamamoto? But yeah, those 2 couples mainly. Even though SPOILER ALERT Gokudera DID point his fricking weapon...at...Yamamoto. -_-
Tsuna: Dark!Tsuna time!
Lily: Haha, thanks to Nari. If you guys don't like Dark!Tsuna or gore, you can thank Nari for pushing Tsuna over the edge. :) And maybe Nana and Iemitsu...and maybe all those other bullies...
Tsuna: *Cheshire cat grin* Revenge is sweet.
Lily: I agree! *grin...but it's not evil. Which makes it so creepy*
Tsuna: *whistle*
Lily: *fail whistle* D: I'm still trying to whistle god damn it!
Tsuna: Not bad. *whistle*
Lily: Stop taunting me! Well, enjoy guys!
Tsuna: Enjoy. *smirk*
"Omnivore," Hibari said, staring intently at a certain brunet. Although, it looked more like he was glaring.
"Tsunayoshi," Tsuna said, without looking at Hibari. "Call me Tsuna, or at the very least Tsunayoshi. If you call me 'omnivore', I won't answer."
"Omnivore..."
Tsuna flipped a page of his book without even sparing Hibari a glance.
"Tsu-Tsu..."
Tsuna raised an eyebrow. Was he really going to do it?
"Tsuna...yoshi," Hibari said, a slight tint of pink on his cheeks. Tsuna giggled.
"Yeah?" He asked. Hibari sighed.
"You seem down," he said. Tsuna raised an eyebrow.
"Oh really?"
"Yes, really. Was it that pathetic herbivore?" (by pathetic herbivore, Hibari is referring to a certain brother of Tsuna's that goes by the name Ienari. Tsuna: To much info, baka Lily! Lily: Eh, sou? Gomen ne!)
Tsuna sighed, then smiled.
"Ugh, you see right through me, Hibari. It's nothing much. Just...my dad's coming home today," Tsuna said.
Hibari raised an eyebrow, silently asking if there was something wrong with that.
"...well, my mother and father really love Nari. Well, he's great at sports and academics, so that's alright, I guess. I mean, why would they dote on someone like me? I'm the complete opposite of Nari. My mum keeps telling me to be more like him," Tsuna said.
Hibari gave a sort of disgusted snort and crossed his arms.
"A mother and father should love you even when you're at your worst. If they don't, they sure as hell don't deserve you at your best," Hibari said. Tsuna blinked.
"That sounds like a quote of some sort."
"It is."
"I see."
The rest of the day was the same as always...
On The Way Home
'Oh great,' Tsuna thought as he turned the corner. He had specifically taken a detour on the way home so he could avoid any bullies-or his brother.
But now, as he turned the corner, he spotted his brother with a few of his friends.
And they looked straight at him.
'What do I do? Do I turn around and leave? Argh, but they already saw me! But maybe they didn't...?' Tsuna wondered what to do. 'The best thing is to just turn around, and leave.'
And so he did.
He turned on his heel and walked the opposite direction.
But the boys followed him.
"Dame-Tsuna! What are you doing all alone? Oh that's right; you don't have any friends!"
'That's not true! Hibari's my friend,' Tsuna wanted to say. But he kept walking, trying to ignore the boys behind him.
But he knew he couldn't do that forever. He wasn't even safe at home.
"Dame-Tsuna! Listen to us!"
Tsuna felt a hand land on his shoulder, and he flinched instinctively. He turned around to face the boys following him, as well as his brother.
"This is what you get for not listening to us!"
A fist made it's way to Tsuna's jaw, knocking him off his feet. He groaned and sat up, only to be kicked in the chest.
This led to that... And that led to this...
And now Tsuna was lying on the floor, bruises all over his body, a few cuts here and there with blood dripping in all different places.
At one point, one of them brought out a pocket knife, but it wasn't anything serious. They didn't stab him to death, no. They just made small wounds. But a lot of them.
Tsuna groaned. It was his mistake for walking in a place where it was almost isolated. He couldn't see nor hear anyone around, and it was probably going to be a long time before he did.
He needed to move.
Now.
Get up.
Move your limbs.
Go home.
Tsuna limped all the way home, clutching his left arm which had the most wounds.
Once he got home, he opened the door and limped inside. Nana was-obviously-doting on Nari, and didn't even notice that Tsuna was home.
Tsuna limped upstairs as quick as he could. He needed to stay away from Nari. Good thing his bedroom had a lock on the inside.
'First aid kit, first aid kit...' Tsuna thought, looking around his room. Where had he put it again?
Tsuna found it pretty quickly, lying inside his closet near the back. He cleaned up all his wounds quickly, bandaged them up, and then leaned against his door, panting.
'Calm down. Calm down,' he told himself. He sat there for a few minutes, just staring at the wall across from him, until he was disturbed when the doorbell rang.
"That must be Iemitsu!" he heard Nana say. Tsuna heard the door being opened, along with a man's deep, husky voice.
"Iemitsu! Welcome home!" Nana said. Tsuna could just imagine her hugging her husband.
"Dad! Welcome back!" Nari exclaimed. Iemitsu laughed and raised his youngest son into his arms.
"Hi! I'm back!" He said. Tsuna scoffed. He didn't need to state the obvious.
"I made a feast just for today!" Nana said, leading her son and husband into the dining room.
Tsuna ignored the fact that nobody had asked where he was or noticed he was gone.
Tsuna felt his stomach grumble, and blushed even though there was no one there to hear it.
'I guess I'll go eat a bit...' he decided, standing up and heading downstairs.
"Welcome home, dad," he said, once everyone could see him.
"Oh, hi!" Iemitsu said, grinning-though his smile was strained. He then turned to his youngest son. "So, Nari, how was your day at school?"
Tsuna sat down at the table and started eating, listening to the conversation even though he knew nobody would turn to him for his opinion or 'how his day was'.
"It was great! Guess what? I'm the captain of the soccer team now!" Nari said. Nana and Iemtisu gasped.
"That's great, Na-kun!" Nana said.
"Haha, as expected of my son!" Iemitsu said.
"Thank you for the food," Tsuna muttered, standing up and putting his dishes in the sink. Nobody even sent him a glance.
Tsuna hurried up the stairs and into his bedroom, shutting the door.
"You know today, Tsuna got 0% on a test! And not only that, but he tripped on air!" Nari snickered.
"Well, he was always a very clumsy child. Not very good at anything academic, either," Nana said, though she sounded like she was praising her son.
"Maa maa, let's enjoy this meal!" Iemitsu said.
"Yeah!"
After The Meal...
"Haha, you got zero! You got a zero!" Nari taunted Tsuna.
"Nari, how are you benefiting from this?" Tsuna asked.
"It's funny, duh! And don't talk back to me, ass!" Nari said.
"I. Don't. Care," Tsuna said. Nari narrowed his eyes at his brother, then curled his lip into a snarl.
"Shut up! You're so annoying!" Nari said, kicking Tsuna in the chest. All the air was knocked out of him. He gasped for breath, clutching his shirt where his heart was supposed to be.
"Haha, look how pathetic you are!" Nari gave another kick, this time to Tsuna's gut. "I always did say I hated your guts." Nari smirked.
Tsuna coughed.
"Not funny, Nari," he said, sending a warning glare at his brother.
"HA! And what can you do about it?" Nari asked.
Tsuna gritted his teeth and stood up, wobbling a bit before trudging down the stairs.
'Annoying...annoying...so annoying...' Tsuna thought.
"OI! Don't ignore me, Dame-Tsuna!" Nari shouted, running after his brother. Nari grabbed Tsuna's shoulder and pulled him backwards; Tsuna's head making contact with the floor.
He gasped in pain.
"Nari stop!" He shouted.
"And why should I? We'd all be better off if you just died," Nari said, scowling.
"Na-kun~! It's bed time!" Nana called from upstairs.
"Alright, mum!" Nari called back. He then turned to Tsuna. "Saved. This time."
And with that, he left and ran up the stairs.
Tsuna clutched the bruise slowly forming on his head and looked up, his eyes locking on the sharp kitchen knife sitting on the bench.
'We'd all be better off if you just died...' Tsuna thought. He grinned. 'I could say the same to you.'
In Tsuna's Bedroom
"Hibari?"
"Why are you calling so late?" The skylark asked. Tsuna sighed and leaned against his window sill, the window itself open.
"I...I have to tell you something important," Tsuna said, hesitant.
"?" Hibari waited for the brunet to elaborate. Tsuna took in a deep breath, then exhaled.
"I-I'm leaving."
"What do you mean?"
"I'm leaving Namimori. Actually-screw that. I'm probably going to leave Japan altogether."
"What? Why?" Hibari didn't show it, but Tsuna could tell he was panicked.
"Because I'm going to do something very...very carnivorous," Tsuna replied.
"Leaving sounds pretty herbivorous to me. Are you going to run away?"
Tsuna laughed bitterly.
"Oh no, not at all. I'm not running away. After I'm done, there won't be anything left to run away from," he said, grinning.
Hibari was slightly tense as he listened to the brunet. Why did the omnivore sound like that? Something was wrong.
After a few moments of consideration, Hibari spoke up again.
"Wait there. I'm coming," Hibari said. Tsuna blinked. What...?
"Wait!" Tsuna exclaimed before Hibari could hang up. "Don't...don't come until after about 20 minutes, alright? Please."
"...alright."
"Thank you. I'll be done soon."
The line was cut, and Hibari furrowed his brows. I'll be done soon? What did the omnivore mean by that? Hibari's lips were pressed into a thin line, and his brows could not be furrowed any more than they already were.
20 minutes...
-XXX-
Tsuna tiptoed down the stairs and into the kitchen, careful not to wake any of his family members up. He spotted, once again, the kitchen knife laying innocently on the bench. He grinned and picked it up, sliding his index finger across the sharp edge.
"Ne, Nari-tell me, will people be happy when you're gone? Cause I will," he whispered, giggling. "Oh, but don't worry. I'll make sure to send mum and dad to Hell with you."
Tsuna looked up at the clock.
"Tch. 12 minutes," he said quietly.
Tsuna daintily tip-toed back up the stairs, twirling the knife in his hand.
"See the shadows dance...
At the dead of night.
I am watching you...
Where there is no light," Tsuna sang slowly, almost whispering the words.
"See the blood you shed...
As I yield this knife.
Listen to your screams...
The End Of Your Life."
Tsuna opened his brother's door silently, walking in slowly. He stopped at the side of Nari's bed.
"Nari...Nari, wake up~" he said in a sing-song voice, shaking his brother softly. He knew Nari was a light sleeper, so this would probably be enough to wake him.
His brother stirred, groaning.
"Who...? Dame-Tsuna?" He whispered.
Tsuna grinned, holding up the knife as Nari's eyes widened.
"Die."
