Tsuna the Popular summary: With the help of Yamamoto and a new acquaintance, Gokudera gets treatment for his wounds and Tsuna gets a visit from the black knight…

Chapter Five: Tsuna the Popular

Tsuna just couldn't wrap his head around it. The head of the disciplinary committee was kissing him?! On top of that his first kiss was stolen from a guy! He was helpless to Hibari, who at the moment was conquering his lips. He didn't know what to do. His mind was racing so many things he should do and also things he shouldn't do. After the panic died down, Tsuna found himself indulging in the warmth that the prefect bestowed upon him. The sensation traveling from his lips down his toes, he never felt anything like it. It almost soothed the pain or deferred his focus on his ache. He could no longer think straight, now his mind was a complete blank and he just wrapped himself in the nice comfort that enveloped his body.

Abruptly, Hibari released his grip of Tsuna's shirt letting him drop back to the floor. The fall woke Tsuna from whatever stupor he had drifted off to. The light in his eyes came back and he returned to the cold reality. His eyes looked at Hibari wondering why he had dropped him so suddenly. Then again this was Hibari's style; he didn't like people being so close to him. He presumed that the disciplinary prefect had gained a sense of what he was doing and stopped it at once. He stared into the dark eyes of the prefect as he towered over him. There was a long silence and finally, the protagonist dared to ask. "Why did you-?" He asked.

"Forget…" He heard Hibari said. "Forget about it or I'll bite you to death!"

Tsuna looked to the prefect perplexed. He wanted his question answered but he wasn't going to pursue the question any further, since it appeared that Hibari wanted to disregard what had transpired between them. He obeyed and did what the other asked of him. "Okay…" He said quietly, looking down at the floor like an obedient puppy.

He then heard the footsteps of the prefect leaving. Tsuna picked his head up and watched the figureof Hibari walking down the hall. After a while, he didn't hear the other's footsteps anymore and knew he wasn't close by. He frowned, still left with his unanswered question. Why had Hibari kissed him? He was supposed to hit him not kiss him? He truly didn't understand that person and now Tsuna was even more convinced that the other was insane. Tsuna picked up his hand weakly and traced his lips with his fingertips. He still felt the slight warmth that other had placed there.

His mind then went back to earlier that day when Byakuran has talked to him. He didn't want to believe it but his words may be true. Because Tsu-chan is becoming more and more popular. He heard the student president's voice play in his head. Wasn't this what you wanted? He frowned. Was this true? This couldn't possible be what he wanted. He recalled the day that he had gotten on the train to go to Namimori All Boys School; forcing himself to think that perhaps he could turn a new leaf. He didn't want to be No Good Tsuna; he wanted to be accepted for his flaws but was this the price?

"Tenth…" Tsuna's eyes widen, the mention of his unusual nickname interrupted his train of thought.. Looking across from him, he saw Gokudera trying to get up.

The brunette panicked thinking that the other shouldn't push himself after getting beaten by Hibari. "Gokudera-san…Don't force yourself. Aren't you hurt pretty badly?"

The silver haired terrorist doesn't listen to him and against his wishes, he gets to his feet. Watching as the other staggers over to him, Tsuna realized he was being stubborn. The brunette gets to his own feet and went to his friend's aid; although his body still ached he wanted to help Gokudera. His eyes widen as he saw his friend start to wobble, threatening to fall. Hastily going to the other's side, he tried to help him balance his weight. It would bad if Gokudera fell, he wouldn't be able to pick him up and even now he was struggling to keep his friend upright. "Gokudera…I can't hold you up on my own."

"I'm sorry…Tenth. I wasn't able to protect you…" Gokudera told him and then he leaned on the wall. He realized that it was very hard to stand and even his vision was kind of blurry. Despite this, none of that matter. He needed to know if Tsuna was alright before he could think of himself.

Tsuna figured that Gokudera was conscious enough to know that Hibari had hit him. He then thought that if he knew that…did he know about the kiss too? He figured that Gokudera would have brought up, since he was so protective of him. He decided to believe that for the good of his health. He smiled at Gokudera and he tried to voice to the other how well he was. "I'm fine. You should worry about yourself." He tried to be as calm as possible but it was hard to be composed, when your friend needed help and you couldn't do anything. Tsuna felt so hopeless.

"Tsuna! Gokudera!" Tsuna recognized the voice that was calling out to them. It seemed that Yamamoto was searching for them.

"Yamamoto-san! Over here! Hurry!" Tsuna yelled, so that the other could find them. Soon after, he heard someone running down the hallway. His eyes waited to see the dark haired baseball fanatic but instead the first person who turned the corner was not Yamamoto. Tsuna looked to the newcomer as he walked towards them. The stranger was blonde with shaggy shoulder length hair. His eyes were chocolate brown. He could tell by the other facial features and the shape of his eyes that he was not Japanese but a foreigner. The other had on a Namimori school uniform just like them, except it was a tad messy. His shirt was out of his trousers, his collar a bit loose and his tie dangled loosely around his neck. Tsuna then slowly noticed the flaming skull tattoo on the other's neck and on his arm another tattoo peeking underneath the sleeve of his uniform. He was as tall as Yamamoto if not taller. Tsuna had to admit that he looked very cool. Although, this person smiled at him friendly, he wasn't sure whether he should trust him or not. It wasn't long before Yamamoto came up behind him, that he started to relax.

As if Gokudera could read his mind and sense his own wariness of the newcomer, he asked. "Who the hell are you?"

"This is Dino Cavallone. He's an upper classmen I met. He came to help." Yamamoto assured his friends. "He's a real nice guy."

"Yo." The blonde said in response to Yamamoto's introduction. Dino looked to Gokudera and decided to mess with him. "Looks like Hibari got you pretty good."

"What was that?!" Gokudera said getting angry. He was about to lung himself at Dino but was stopped by the momentarily pain the surged through his body.

Tsuna frowned as his friend got over excited. Watching as Dino went to help Gokudera and continue his taunts, he asked Yamamoto: "How did you know to come here?" He wasn't complaining. He was glad that Yamamoto had come to help him but it did seem too good to be true. These things only happened in movies and in real life people usually weren't this lucky. Well, in his lifetime he was never this lucky.

"Well…" Yamamoto scratched his head, recalling what had happened just moments before. "Dino and I were coming back from vending machines. And that's when we saw Hibari. As he walked passed us, he said something like, "your friend is dying over there." So Dino and I decided to investigate. And here we are."

"I see…" He couldn't express what he felt at the moment. However, he was grateful that Hibari alerted Yamamoto. Maybe he had been right about Hibari putting up an act as the villain. Maybe.

"Anyway, we should get Gokudera to the infirmary. He doesn't look so good." Yamamoto's eyes then noticed something about Tsuna. The younger boy seemed to be holding his side pretty tenderly. He placed his hand on Tsuna's shoulder, making the smaller boy look straight at him. "Are you hurt too, Tsuna?"

"I'm fine." He assured the other. The area where he had been hit did throb but the pain was slowly going away. He believed the only damage placed on him would be a bruise and nothing more. Almost positive that he would be fine the next morning, he concluded that he was fine. He didn't think he was hit that hard by Hibari, the thing was he always had a weak body. So any damage inflicted to his person hurt a little more. "I promise…" He watched as the other's concern for him disappeared.

Tsuna then looked to Yamamoto's friend, Dino. Although, he was currently joking around with Gokudera, he knew that the other was going out of his way to help them. He didn't know how close he was to Yamamoto but it was a nice gesture to help people he didn't even know. "Thank you for you help, Cavallone-san."

The blonde haired upperclassmen looked to Tsuna and smiled. "You don't have to be so formal. You can just call me, Dino, okay?"

"Are you sure it's okay? I don't think I'll be comfortable doing that." Tsuna was taken back by the other's words. The only other person he met, that told him to be less formal was Byakuran.

"It's alright." Dino insisted.

"Then, I'll call you Dino-san." Tsuna laughed.

It was that easy! Yamamoto and Gokudera thought in unison. Since, Tsuna still only referred to them by last name. They were kind of disappointed that Dino was able to make Tsuna call him by his first name just as soon as they met. And here was Gokudera and Yamamoto, who both had known Tsuna much longer than Dino and their love interest were still calling them by their last names. This guy is good.


After the occurrences of last night, Tsuna wasn't that enthusiastic about the day ahead him. However, he followed his usual morning routine despite his anxiety. The place that Hibari had hit him, no longer pained him unless it was touched. He felt kind of guilty that the prefect hadn't done more damage to him. He found that it wasn't fair that Gokudera was stuck in the infirmary and he was free to prance around. However, he was sure karma will strike him back sooner or later; he never had such good luck for too long before his fortune changed. Like any other day, he went to class and hanged out with Yamamoto mostly…since Gokudera was still in the infirmary. However, he had to separate from his baseball obsessed friend because the other wanted to practice some more before try-outs. So Tsuna was left on his own to entertain himself. As he walked down, the hallways to find something to amuse him, he noticed that his fellow scholars would give him certain looks. Their looks had always made him self-conscious and uncomfortable. It was as if he had something that they wanted.

Over the past few days, Tsuna had noticed the hungry glances from his fellow students. He seemed to notice them even more after the events of last night. Everywhere he went those eyes would follow him as he was some kind of prey. Those gazes were so intense that when he would walk the halls of his school alone, his heart would race. Today was no different. Was it really like this in an all boys school? He began to wonder. Was it normal for people looked at you with questioning looks and such? He conjectured, maybe they all were actually hazing him to see if he would crack under pressure. And he was considering it.

He felt he was getting more stares today because Yamamoto and Gokudera weren't with him. Tsuna hadn't known the others very long but he kind of missed their presence. It was lonely without them near him but he didn't want to get in their way. He knew he would be troubling Gokudera, if he came to visit him. He was still upset about the Hibari incident and he didn't want to bother Yamamoto, when he was working so hard. The brunette had talked with Dino earlier that morning but it wasn't the same. He sighed. The school year had just begun and he was already felt forlorn. Unexpectedly an announcement was made. Tsuna stopped his train of thought to listen to the message.

"Will Sawada Tsunayoshi of class 1-D report the office? Will Sawada Tsunayoshi of class 1-D report to the office?" The loudspeakers requested.

"What's that about?" Tsuna said listening to the announcement and decided to obey it. He knew he hadn't done anything wrong as of yet. The only way he would find out was to go.


Tsuna entered the office, kind of bewildered. His mind was plagued by different possibilities of the reason why, he had been summoned to the office. He then looked to the secretary that was sitting behind the desk. For some reason he had thought that everyone in an all boys school had to be male, so he was surprised to see a female. Even the so called nurses or medical assistants in the infirmary were male. He felt he hadn't seen a woman in ages, although…it really was only three days since he's been here. She watched as the secretary looked up at him and he frowned at the slight flush that appeared on her cheek. "Yes?" She said sweetly.

"There was an announcement just a few moments ago, asking for me to come to the office." Tsuna stated. Before the secretary could answer him back, someone else beat her to it.

"Sawada Tsunayoshi." An unfamiliar voice called to him. Turning in the direction of the voice, his tawny eyes fell on a new face. He looked to the stranger curiously. The boy was tall and he guessed around Gokudera's height. He had vibrant red hair that was chin length. His eyes were grayish-brown but he wasn't sure since the light reflected off his thick glasses. He also noted that the other's skin was a little pale. He wore his Namimori school uniform as neatly as he did. He was kind of nervous by how serious the other was…not as serious as some people he had met but he seemed like a person who went straight down to business. "I'm Irie Shouichi. I'm here to escort you to the Student Council Assembly Room."

"The Student Council?" Tsuna repeated but even so he couldn't figure out why the student council wanted to see him. He only knew a few things about them. He knew that they were very important to the school. That was the reason why they were able live on the seventh floor of the Sky Dorm. "Why does the Student Council want to speak to me?"

"Our president, Byakuran-sama asked for you." He said flatly and then he leads Tsuna down the hall to the Student Council office.

"Byakuran-san is the president?!" He couldn't image that carefree person being president. He was amazed. He became curious on why Byakuran wanted to see him, since he had just seen him the other day. "Irie-san. Do you know why Byakuran-san wants to see me?"

"I have no idea what goes on in that guy's head." He sighed but he looked to Tsuna, smiling. "But he always talks highly of you, Sawada-san. So I guess it's not that bad."

"I see." Tsuna had to admit that he couldn't figure him out either and he wondered if Byakuran was really such an unpredictable guy as he presented himself.

Tsuna followed after Shouichi as they came to a wooden door with the words: Namimori Student Council engraved into it. He allowed his escort to open the door for him. Both of the students walked into a rectangular sized room. The walls seemed like the color of snows against the rosewood borders. The furniture was pressed up against the walls. Closest to them was a very long couch that was the color of beige. In the corner next to the beige couch was a blood red loveseat. It seemed the rest of the furniture, followed that pattern all around the room. In the middle of the floor was a large Persian carpet. On top of the carpet was a short but long table that had chocolate treats in a very expensive looking bowl. The wall in front of them had a tapestry of the Namimori crest on it. The tapestry was dark blue and the lettering of Namimori was silver. Tsuna's tawny eyes followed Shouichi as he went to the far left side of the room, where there was another door. The door was a dark colored wood and there was golden letters on it,reading: office.

Following Shouichi inside, Tsuna saw contrast from the room he was in. This room actually looked like an office. The walls were blinding white and the floor was tiled black. There were separate cubicles for six people. There was a water fountain, refrigerator and file cabinets along the sides of the white walls. There was a big red couch on another side of the wall. The room had no picture or posters but it did have boards with post-its and scribbles of importance on it. However what caught both Shouichi's and Tsuna's eyes were the long table on the far side of the room. The table was simple and ordinary but who was tied down to the table was worth speculation. Byakuran's hands and feet were bond by ropes that tied him down to the table!

Shouichi looked at his restrained president with widened eyes. "Byakuran-sama!"

Tsuna was pretty shocked by the sight he saw too and he was just as frozen as his escort.

Byakuran looked in the direction of the shouts of surprised. He smiled when he saw the two of them coming towards him. "Ah…Tsu-chan and Shou-chan, two of my favorite people. How nice of you to drop by? If you don't mind, could you help me out of these ropes? Xan-chan pulled them a little too tight. "

"Xanxus-senpai, did this to you? I just left a few minutes ago…what did you say to make him angry? " He inquired. He couldn't leave his president alone for one moment without him causing trouble. This person was so tiring. He sighed as he started to release his president from the ropes.

"Of course, Shou-chan. Doesn't Xan-chan look like the type to be into bondage? I thought that was pretty obvious." Byakuran smiled at finally being freed form his restraints. He then slid off of the table and gained back his composure as if the ordeal had not happened at all. "I only asked him a simple question and then he just exploded."

"Byakuran-sama." Shouichi said knowing that wasn't the whole truth. He knew his president was always provoking his vice president.

Tsuna was curious of who this Xanxus person was. He sounded scary. "Who's Xanxus?"

The red haired secretary answered Tsuna. "He's Byakuran-sama's Vice President. Xanxus is practically the shadow president because Byakuran-sama doesn't do what he's supposed to."

"Are you nagging me too, Shou-chan? That's not very nice. I try my hardest too, you know. Those mangas aren't going to read themselves. " Byakuran defended himself but it made him seem even lazier.

At least, lie about what you really do! He felt so overwhelmed by the president's apathy. Although, he didn't know Byakuran very well, he was kind of disappointed to find out that Byakuran was such a slacker. However, recalling their few meetings, he was surprised he hadn't thought of it. The student president was so carefree and it was kind of hard to see him in a position that gave him so much power. What made Tsuna even more disappointed was fact that the other had no shame at all. He wasn't embarrassed that most people saw him as an idler or even the less bit humiliated that he wasn't doing his job. It seemed that Byakuran enjoyed fueling the flames of his supposed languorous leadership with his blithe demeanor.

Byakuran then frowned at Shouichi and tried to convince the other, that he was being productive. "Plus, I'm doing work right now. I have a fabulous proposal for Tsu-chan."

"Proposal?" The brunette questioned.

"Yes." The president turned to Tsuna and was giving him his full attention. "Haven't you noticed we have a lack of school spirit? We don't have school colors. We have intramurals but no one really shows up. We have events but no one even bothers. However, since Tsu-chan is so popular…I'm sure he can bring back the flavor in our school. So that's why I want Tsu-chan to be the school's mascot. I'm sure if you were our mascot then everyone would come to our school-related events and have a little fun. People are already drawn to that personality of yours."

"What?! You want me to be Namimori's mascot?" Tsuna was stunned by Byakuran's suggestion.

Byakuran nodded feeling very confident in choosing Tsuna as their mascot. Who else would do the job better than him? "Tsu-chan will be a splendid mascot! Don't you agree, Shou-chan?"

Shouichi looked to Byakuran as he asked his opinion. He had to admit that he could picture Tsuna getting the students excited. "Sawada-san does have that appeal. I'm sure he could easily motivate the crowd."

"Appeal?!" People were seeing things that he could not, again. He didn't think he had any kind of charm at all. He was just plain old Tsuna.

"Tsu-chan's being modest again. You're cute. Haven't you notice the way everyone looks at you? Why don't you use that for good use and help the school out. " Byakuran looked to Tsuna rather amused and he couldn't help beaming at the other. Tsuna was too modest for words. Was he still oblivious to how the students really felt about him? His precious Tsu-chan was truly one of a kind. Dense but still innocence nonetheless.

I don't want everyone's eyes on me! And it kind of sounds like you're pimping me out. Tsuna mentally spoke his own reluctance but Byakuran could see by his facial expressions that he didn't like the idea very much. He decided to use different tactics to persuade him. He figured that Tsuna wouldn't be swayed by compliments; he didn't have much of an ego.

"I see…." Byakuran said his voice full of sorrow and hurt. "Tsu-chan doesn't want to do it. I was under the impression that Tsu-chan was a good person, who came to the rescue during people's time of need. But I guess I was wrong. Now, all the students will suffer through this semester like robots because Tsu-chan denied them of their excitement. What a cruel fate that lies before my student body."

Byakuran even threw the famous puppy dog face in. Tsuna couldn't take it anymore and he willingly let the other guilt trip. He didn't want to make anyone unhappy, even if it meant he had to do something he wasn't enthusiastic about. "Okay…I'll do it." He said frowning. He knew he was conned.

Byakuran's sadden performance went as fast as Tsuna's self-respect. Byakuran returned to his normal demeanor after the brunette had agreed to be his school's mascot. He grabbed Tsuna's small hands into his own. "You will! Really?! Tsu-chan, I think I love you!" He exclaimed.

I want to take it back now. He still wasn't used to the other talking to him like he did. He doubted he ever would be but he knew that the other's words weren't honest. There was no love behind those words and although he blushed at them it was only half-heartedly. He knew Byakuran was only saying it. Compared to Gokudera's declarations, Byakuran's were flat.

"Byakuran-sama" Sighing, he was kind of embarrassed by his President's behavior. Although, Shouichi never seen Byakuran get so affectionate with anyone before. He had always thought that Byakuran wasn't interested in such things. He guessed he really liked Tsuna but it was hard not to like someone so innocent and cute. Even Shouichi fell for him just a little. He then cleared his mind of his thoughts and continued. "But I'm surprised; you actually came up with a nice idea to help the school. I thought you hated Namimori."

"I do hate Namimori." Byakuran looked to Shouichi with a smile. "But I started to gain some hope when I met Tsu-chan. I'll do anything to support the school if he's involved."

"Huh?" Tsuna felt he missed something and it seemed that Shouichi was mirroring his expression as well. Byakuran was as secretive as ever but Tsuna felt as if some of what Byakuran had said was actually sincere. "That doesn't make sense."

"I guess not. Anyway, we have to make this official. So, Tsu-chan can't escape the commitment he made." Byakuran said pulling out a stack of papers and presenting them in front of Tsuna. "It's a contract. Please sign it."

Tsuna flipped through the pages. The document was pretty thick and it seemed very thoroughly written. "Do you want me to read this first?"

"No need. It just states generic stuff. Like your agreement of being our mascot and we're not liable if you get hurt during events…trivial stuff like." Byakuran said offhandedly.

It's not that trivial! I kind of don't want to sign it now. He thought to himself. However, he couldn't go back on his word in helping Byakuran. Tsuna supposed that he trusted Byakuran enough to sign the contract without reading it. He knew this decision may have repercussions in the future but he just hoped Kami-sama liked him enough to get him out of it. "Where do I sign?" Tsuna said nervously.

Byakuran showed him the places where he needed his signature. He watched the other sign his name and then stifled a chuckle. Tsuna had a very unique signature. "Tsu-chan…you write funny."

Tsuna blushed. He knew his handwriting was not the greatest or prettiest thing in world but it was still readable. "Leave me alone." He said as he wrote the last signature. "When do I start?"

Byakuran took the document away from the other and answered his question. "Isn't there a baseball try-out on Thursday? I guess that would be a good time for your debut. Come by the student council office for the debriefing, okay? But if Tsu-chan wants, he can visit me before then too. I'm always happy to see you. Better yet, come by everyday."

"Then you won't get any work done." He said already hinting that he just wanted a distraction.

"Whether you visit him or not, the result will be the same. He doesn't do work on a regular basis." Shouichi told Tsuna. "He's a terrible president, through and through."

"The worse. I'm making Namimori history." Byakuran concurred. The blue eyes of the student president watched as Tsuna made his way to the door.

"I guess…I should be getting back. Thank you for having me." He smiled at the Student council members. Tsuna felt that he had stayed here long enough or rather he felt there was nothing more for him to do.

"Thank you again for your help, Tsu-chan. I really appreciate it. Come back anytime." Byakuran called after Tsuna as he waved good-bye to him and Shouichi.

The president and his secretary watched the door opened and closed with Tsuna's disappearance. There was silence for a few moments before Shouichi decided to speak.

"Byakuran-sama, why didn't you want him to read the contract? What did you make him sign?"

Byakuran turned to Shouichi with a mischievous grin upon his face. "You know me pretty well, Shou-chan. I can't hide anything from you. Well, I'll give you a hint because I know you wouldn't betray me. Let's just say…I will get what I want in the end." He then walks over to the red haired boy, handing him his precious document. He waited for the other to accept it before he sat down on the couch and lounged there for a while before he spoke again. "Now, please put that in my vault and no peeking! I'm going to take a nap…"

Shouichi frowned, Byakuran never changed. "Byakuran-sama…please do your work."


Sighing he felt as if his energy was zapped from him because of his meeting with Byakuran. He wondered how everyone could deal with such a strenuous person. He couldn't imagine how Shouichi was able to handle Byakuran and it made him have more respect for the red haired secretary. Tsuna rubbed at his eyes feeling immensely tired. He couldn't wait to get back to his room and just flop on his bed, letting the day disappear while he slept.

As he turned a corner, he noticed that he was walking into a very foggy hallway. The entire hallway was covered in a light mist that blurred his vision. He could barely see the other end of the hallway. The protagonist frowned; it bothered him that the hallway was in this state. It was even worse because he was all by himself and no one seemed to be walking around the hallways. The whole the situation was eerie and something in the back of his head was telling him to walk around it. But since, Tsuna had a knack for making irrational decisions; he settled to walk into the misty hallway. He figured if he walked through it quickly, nothing would happen.

As Tsuna walked, he heard someone behind him and he immediately thought, he was stupid to walk through the misty hallway. "Kufufu. You are as cute as they say, Sawada Tsunayoshi."

Tsuna jumped hearing the unfamiliar voice. Whirling around, he looked to behind him. His eyes fell on a dark figure. The other's posture was very relaxed and his head was tilted down, so he couldn't see his eyes. Tsuna was surprised that he could see this person clearly in the mist, since everything else seemed to be lost in the haze. The first thing he noticed about this stranger was his interesting hairstyle; the blue-purplish hair reminded him of the top of a pineapple. His hair was short in the back, a bit long in the front. His hair was parted in a zigzag fashion leading to some of his dark hair sticking up a little in the back. His skin was a pale color, which contrast against the dark colors of the uniform and his hair. This person wore the Namimori school uniform but it was off slightly. The other had opted to wear the Namimori blazer, which was a dark navy color and had silver colored buttons. The blazer collar didn't lay flat but stood erect. He wore a white t-shirt instead of the designated white dress shirt. He did wear the blue and silver striped tie but it hung loosely around his neck. He noticed that the other wore the school's black trousers as well with a heavy-looking spiked leather belt around securing it. The stranger wore black leather gloves on his hands and dark knee high riding boots. He had to confess that this mysterious person knew how to dress. "W-who are you?" He finally spoke.

"The black knight, perhaps." He said as he lifted his head up slightly and revealed his heterochromatic eyes. His left eye was a cerulean blue and his right eye was a crimson red. "My name is Rokudo Mukuro."

What? Tsuna thought to himself looking at the other's eyes. He has never seen anything like it before. He knew there were people who had different color eyes but this was bizarre. In the spectrum of eyes colors, he knew that red wasn't on it. The red eye placed more shivers down his spine than person who was standing in front of him. There was something about the other's red eye that appeared otherworldly to him. Tsuna frowned looking at the fellow Namimori student. "Why are you here? To scare me? I think you've accomplished that."

"Kufufu. As much fun as that sounds that's not why I came here for. I felt you should be the first person to know since this matter does involve you." Mukuro walked the short distance between him and Tsuna. He smirked seeing how the boy flinched as he grew near. He cupped the other's cheek with his gloved hand. "Your body belongs to me."

"Eeee?! What are you saying?" He said looking up at Mukuro's face, which looked rather amused. He felt a shiver run down his spine as the other touched him.

Mukuro smirked. "Wasn't I clear, Sawada Tsunayoshi? I said your body is mine."

I think I was trying not to hear it. He frowned, thinking to himself. It wasn't everyday that a random person comes up to you and saying that your body was their possession. Tsuna was at a lost for words. How do you respond to something so absurd?! "I don't remember giving it away." He finally responded.

"Kufufu. Don't misconstrue what I'm saying to you…I'm taking your body by force." He watched the smaller boy's eyes flickered with something that was similar to trepidation. He observed as Tsuna tried to break away from him but the other soon realized that it was impossible. Tsuna couldn't move at all! He leaned into the other and whispered into his ear. "You've been trapped since the very beginning."

The unfortunate protagonist eyes trailed downward and he was terrified by the sight he saw. Lotus flowers and vines were wrapped around his legs! The flowers seemed to have a certain power to immobilize him. He wondered why he hadn't noticed that plants were wrapping around his body earlier. It wasn't until he looked down, did he realize that he was being restrained. His tawny eyes watched as the plants wrapped around his hands as well. He could actually feel the smooth and feather light touch wrapping around his wrists. His attention was brought back to Mukuro, who was currently slipping one of his gloved hands under his shirt.

"Stop it! Why are you doing this?" He squirmed as he felt the other's cold leather gloves brushed against his skin. He stifled a moan as the other ran a single gloved finger up his spine. He blushed not knowing where that sound came from and then he pleaded. "This isn't right…let me go."

"Because I want to. It doesn't matter if it's right or wrong…" He said with a chuckle. Using his free hand to lift the brunette's head upward, so that he was looking into the other's frightened eyes. "I'll let you go after I'm finish with you. Don't worry, it wouldn't be unpleasant." He grinned as he drew closer to the other's lips.

Chapter Five End


Byakuran's Omake – Why did Xanxus tie Byakuran up?

Byakuran: Xan-chan? Can I ask you a question?

Xanxus: No…now shut the fuck up and do your work!

Byakuran: But I want to ask you a question?

Xanxus: I said no, damn it!

Byakuran: grins But it's just a question. I can't ask you a simple question? I want to ask you a question. Let me ask you a question, Xan-chan?

Xanxus: annoyed What the fuck is it?!

Byakuran: Why are you so angry all the time?

Xanxus: surprised Huh?

Byakuran: You're always so mad. Why? looks sincere You can tell me.

Xanxus: Well… sighs my father never loved me, my life sucks and everyone is afraid of me. I'm not really angry…I'm actually very depressed.

Byakuran: snorts Xan-chan is such a loser! laughs hysterically

Xanxus: enraged I'll show you what's so fucking hysterical!!

Byakuran: Xan-chan! You're hurting me! Ah…That's my tender spot! Hey, that kind of tickles!

Omake end – I'm sure Xanxus has other reasons why he's angry.


Author's Note: Byakuran's part was very long and it also took me a while to write…why? I wish I knew. The other parts were easier to write…except Mukuro's part (describing his hair was a biotch!) and the beginning of the chapter with Hibari but I kept revising Byakuran's part. I wasn't happy with it and even now…I'm still feeling iffy about it. Oh well…I hope that you liked this chapter. It wasn't too exciting. I'll have Dino show up more…since we didn't get to see his clumsy side (lol). The title of the next chapter will be Tsuna the Mascot…and you know if Byakuran's involved, Tsuna's not going to be an ordinary mascot. Anyway, look forward to next chapter. Always show you care by reviewing or there will be no fluff next chapter! I mean it!
