Well it's been awhile but here's an update! I had midterms but I'm mostly finished so I can finally write.

It's the prelude of the Kokuyo arc. Enjoy!

Dawn soon came for everyone. The air was indefinitely tense when they gathered and Tsuna had an unbearable feeling that something terrible was going to occur. He didn't know exactly what but it made him cautious of his surroundings.

Reborn and Giotto's group also joined them shortly. It gave the brunet a tinge of confidence knowing that they were coming along as well. Not to mention he had four reliable friends by his side.

Giotto cleared his throat and spoke up, "Good, we're all here. Is everyone prepared? We do not know the extent of Mukuro's abilities. There are sightings that he has comrades with him so be ready for anything."

Everybody nodded silently in reply. It seemed that they were used to these missions except for Tsuna. His legs were still shaking relentlessly. He couldn't deny the fear that was starting to overwhelm him. But time didn't stop for anyone before he knew it the trial had already started.

Lambo started up the teleportation enchant and in less than a second they were at the entrance of Kokuyo High. Immediately, Tsuna flinched back, the school was just a rundown building. It looked like it had long since been shut down.

Reborn glanced at Tsuna, "Kokuyo High has been shut down since they created a new school building. But many people still use this place as a hideout; it's been nicknamed Kokuyo Land as far as I know. Now, Mukuro and his lackeys currently own this place."

The brunet let out a whimper. But he then felt warmth on his shoulders, Tsuna looked back to see Gokudera and Yamamoto behind him, supporting him.

"We're going to extremely defeat these bad guys." Sasagawa shouted as loud as humanly possible.

"Shut up, lawn-head. You're going to signal all the enemies to come here. We're supposed to infiltrate this place." Gokudera retorted back noisily.

"Maa, it'll be alright somehow so don't worry too much, Tsuna. You've got us to protect you." The taller boy patted down on Tsuna's hair.

"Thanks everyone. I feel much better. Let's go before they find out our location." Tsuna announced with much more confidence. His heart was nonetheless still pounding in nervousness. But it had eased quite a bit.

"Can I just stay back here? I don't want to fight." Lambo awkwardly asked with no sense of embarrassment.

"Are you actually serious? We're supposed to protect Tsuna-sama." Hayato huffed in disappointment he couldn't believe this cow.

"Lambo, if you don't want to come it's fine. You can wait here." Tsuna understood Lambo's point of view. It was dangerous after all, they could get hurt.

Lambo sighed, he couldn't believe Tsuna who is obviously more scared of the situation is the one telling him that he could stay here and wait. But he did have a debt to pay back to the brunet so he'll do his best. "I'll stay; you guys probably need a senso-. Fuck, incoming Kokuyo freaks coming towards us. I suggest everyone to get your asses out of here."

Before Lambo even finished his sentence everyone started to back away from their location. Reborn and Giotto already had already disappeared leaving Tsuna and the others behind. Before the blond had left he wished Tsuna luck and told him that he'll be watching over to make sure nothing unusual happens.

Four people appeared as expected in the location Tsuna and his familiars were just at. Tsuna had already equipped his gloves and activated his flames in preparation for combat. His guardian's eyes became slits and glowed. They only held the aim to protect Tsuna and to defeat the enemies in front of them.

"Hoh, they didn't all run away. How brave of them and they already lust for battle." An elderly man chuckled darkly.

"Whatever, Mukuro-sama was right. We did have intruders today." A girl with violet hair quipped. She was impatient and wanting to fulfill Mukuro-sama's wishes already. She glimpsed at Tsuna and dully scoffed, "Oh and the one he was looking for too. What a catch."

There were two others which Tsuna deemed as the creepiest twins he had ever seen. They looked possessed with hollow pitch black eyes. The twins cackled but didn't mutter a single coherent word.

Gokudera however didn't waste time in initiating the attack. He ran towards the enemy with inhumanly speed and scattered dynamites beneath their feet. The enemy jumped to the side to avoid the explosion but Gokudera had predicted that and had thrown bombs in the air which exploded midair.

"Hmph, weaklings. Tsuna-sama doesn't have to do anything when I'm here." The white-haired boy grumbled unsatisfied.

"I wouldn't be so hasty. But first, Mukuro-sama had asked Sawada Tsunayoshi to head in the building. He is waiting for you." The girl shook off the dirt from her clothes.

"How did you-?" Shocked, Hayato couldn't believe they survived that blow. "Why would Tsuna even do that, to head into the enemy's trap?"

Yamamoto stepped in front of Tsuna as if to block him from going anywhere. Sasagawa was beside Takeshi while Lambo was behind Tsuna. Tsuna was a little peeved. He wasn't that weak he wanted to protect his friends too.

"Hmm...Well if this Tsuna kid wants to see his friend. He probably should, Mukuro-sama doesn't have much patience you see. Let's see...the boy's name was Fuuta. Fuuta de la Stella." The girl shrugged, she only obeyed to Mukuro's commands. She grabbed something out of her pocket and showed it to the group. It was a picture of Fuuta being restrained and kept in an isolated room.

Anger welled up in Tsuna how could they do such a thing to Fuuta?

"You better hurry if you don't want anything happening to that boy." The old man teased, taunting the brunet.

"It's a trap Tsuna, don't go. We'll defea—" Yamamoto muttered, his priority was Tsuna's safety.

"What if something happens to him while we're doing that? He's a friend even though I just met him a day ago. He's still a friend." Tsuna yelled, frustrated, he knew he had to go. His instincts urged him.

"But Tsuna-sama..." Gokudera was strained his heart pained to let his boss head into an obvious trap.

"Sawada, we'll defeat the enemies quickly and catch up to you!" Sasagawa wasted no time and started his barrage of attacks on the enemy.

Hayato groaned, "Tsuna-sama, stay safe. We'll be there in less than a second. These creeps aren't anything."

Yamamoto nodded in agreement if that was his bosses' will he'll respect it over his. Lambo just shrugged he wasn't worried or anything he knew Tsuna was strong.

Without a second delay, Tsuna flared up his flames and flew past his friends whispered a thank you before heading towards the building. Deep inside the brunet sensed that it was a trap of some sort but still he had to do something. Mukuro must have kidnapped Fuuta when he passed by them, he reasoned. And he didn't even notice at all. Why was he so useless?

He had arrived inside the building but he was not expecting such a scene. A lone man stood in the middle of all the bloodshed. People were everyone, unconscious people.

"...Another enemy?" The familiar voice mumbled in a daze. Tsuna knew this voice from anywhere after that beating.

"Hibari-san..." The brunet couldn't even imagine how long the raven had fought. There was so much blood on his clothes. He couldn't even tell whose it was.

"It's you..." Hibari glanced away he had nothing to do with him. Hibari focused on his surroundings, where had his prey gone? He had already beaten up two of his subordinates, glasses and some animal to lure Mukuro out. He didn't want to lose his prey now.

"Is Mukuro here?" Tsuna pried for information hoping that Hibari would at least give him a clue.

No answer came from him though, instead an eerily laugh echoed throughout the room. "Sawada Tsunayoshi, you have arrived at a very good time."

"Where's Fuuta?" Tsuna demanded curtly. He won't forgive anyone for hurting his friends.

Tsuna couldn't sense where the voice was coming from at first but he suddenly felt an arm draping across his shoulder, "He's fine. Now let's talk shall we?"

The brunet jumped back in fright he swore that there was no one behind him before. But before Tsuna could be wary of Mukuro, a murderous aura filled the room. Hibari was irritated he hated illusionists more than anything. They were just herbivores that hid behind shadows. "I'll destroy this illusion and then bite you to death."

"Ura Kyūshintai." With that an enormous violet incantation circle spread all through the building. A sphere of cloud flames with spikes on end started to form. It ended up enclosing all three individuals in the force-field. Mukuro illusion's also started to fade away and his physical appearance became clear.

"Kufufu, a force-field spell how fascinating. This also seals my abilities." Mukuro commented while calmly observing the area. He twirled his trident still seeming confident.

'Hieee why am I here though? If Hibari-san is here I don't need to do anything.' Tsuna cried in his thoughts, he really didn't want to interfere with his fight or else he might get killed by getting in the way.

Mukuro paused for a thought and Hibari took that for a chance to strike. The raven started to gain speed but he knelt down halfway right in front of the heterochromatic man. "Hm? Weren't you going to attack me Hibari Kyoya?" The male grinned, "You shouldn't underestimate my subordinates."

The raven touched his neck, he faintly recalled of being attacked by needles from a man with glasses. He didn't even notice that there was such a wound as he thought he had evaded it completely. Mukuro must have done something to it. Hibari glared at the other, he won't lower his head to his enemies. He slowly got back up, struggling to keep his body upright. He wouldn't lose, he couldn't.

"Leave this to me. You've done plenty, I would tell you to rest but this barrier is useful so please sustain it." A tranquil voice resonated, bright orange orbs stared at the other and his hand on the other's shoulder.

"Don't interfere." Hibari hated one thing and that was to be protected. It was a symbol of weakness. He smacked Tsuna's hand away and stood up firmly. He quickly charged at Mukuro who was quite astonished. He had made sure that the poison Chikusa used was lethal.

"This is...an unusual outcome." Mukuro muttered as he exchanged blows with Hibari. It was obvious who was superior in close combat. By no means, Mukuro was weak but Hibari surpassed him by far, without his illusions there wasn't much he could do. But there was always a way out of such troublesome matters.

'Well that went quite well. Didn't it Tsuna? Now we can just relax.' Natsu yawned but there was still a feeling he couldn't shake off. And that went the same for Tsuna.

'I wonder...I doubt Mukuro would be defeated like this. But, I haven't done much either. You were the one that initiated the sun flame spell. With how things are going I think Hibari can manage by himself.' Tsuna observed the ongoing battle.

Frankly, Hibari didn't take this situation well, it seemed like his opponent had no will to fight back anymore. He had no interest in such boring enemies. He soon dealt the finishing blow to the other's head sending Mukuro crashing into the barrier.

'Oh? The battle's finished already. How mundane.'

The raven stepped back onto the ground and walked towards the unconscious male, ready to apprehend him. But, Mukuro was still awake and he started to chuckle. He then pulled out a stunning silver handgun and pointed it at his head.

"Wait!" Tsuna shouted without realizing.

Mukuro turned to him, grinned and shot himself with a deafening blow.

"No way, did he have to kill himself...?" Tsuna was shocked what could have driven the male to this point. Was his goal more important than his life? He couldn't understand at all.

Hibari turned around, not looking back. His job was finished albeit unsatisfied but he had cleared out the threat to his territory. He broke the force-field spell and started to make his way out of the room. But a boy's voice alerted their attention.

"Tsuna-nii, are you here?" Fuuta fumbled around, clearly unfamiliar with his surroundings. Neither of the two could see the glint in the smaller boy's eyes.

"Fuuta! You're alright! Thank goodness, did they hurt you?" Tsuna worryingly doted on the boy. He was glad that Fuuta was safe. But Tsuna felt increasingly uncomfortable when Fuuta latched onto the brunet.

'Tsuna! TSUNA! Get away from him right now.' Natsu alarmingly screamed out.

"What...?" Tsuna couldn't comprehend Natsu's sudden change in mood.

But it was too late, Fuuta tightened his hold on Tsuna and then everything faded into darkness.

I'll edit this later, and well it's the prelude so lots of things are going to happen next chapter.

Oh by the way, the move Hibari used is his actual technique but I modified it a little to fit the story.

See you later!
