Chapter 10: Say your goodbyes.
Two days had passed since new years; tommorow Tsuna and his guardians would be leaving for Italy. All of his guardians, (he wasn't sure about Mukuro's or Hibari's condition), had called him to tell him they had packed. Reborn had informed Nana the week they had first came back from Italy, and not him. What a dependable tutor. He hoped Chrome had convinced Mukuro to pack...Hibari on the other hand he could never tell what he would do. Meanwhile Tsuna was trying to gather the courage to...
"Why can't Ryohei tell Kyoko-chan we're leaving?"
"Because I told him not to, Dame-Tsuna."
"...I hate you Reborn."
Reborn ignored him and knocked on the door of the Sasagawa residence with his tiny fist. The door swung open and Kyoko walked out, beaming as her gaze met Tsuna's. "Hey, Tsuna-kun!" She gestured him inside the house, tugging at his wrists. Reborn jumped on his student's shoulder just as he was dragged inside, groaning under his breath.
"Mom, Daddy! I'm brought a friend!" She called.
"That's great, sweetheart." A male voice called back.
"Hold on, Kyo-kun I want to see them!" Another high-pitched voice called. A plump woman who had similar facial features as Kyoko as well as her honey-coloured hair peeked her head around the corner and noticed Tsuna. She squeaked and ran up to him, embracing him as if he was a long-lost son.
"Mom-" Kyoko pried the two apart blushing while giggling.
"My, I'll leave you two alone." She bowed and gave a a small wave before scurrying away, clapping her hands in excitement. Tsuna mentally sweatdropped, getting déjà vu of his enthusiastic mother. He followed her down the hall; he noticed her house had a original theme, the paintings on the wall were all of temples and famous singers, her wallpaper was bage like the old people had in nursing homes, the house smelled just like her. It wasn't an unpleasant smell, it was a sweet fragrence that wafted into your nostrils.
"Here's my room." She stopped in front of a fuchsia-colored door and slid it open.
Tsuna slowly walked in, luckily there was no bras or 'girly' underwear lying on the floor, though make-up and hairbrushes littered everywhere. Posters of the Japanese Idol Masahiro Nakai* hung on the walls, texbooks were neatly stacked in the corner of the side of the room. She pulled out a small table and chairs that looked like they could be used for dolls at a tea party.
Tsuna was slightly uneasy, he was afraid the tiny chair would break if he sat on it, meanwhile Reborn hopped on one without hesitation, and Kyoko sat on her's without a second glance. Tsuna sat on his, and it broke right under his ass. Of course.
"Tsuna-kun. I'm so sorry!" She helped him up.
Reborn sneered at him. "Once a Dame-Tsuna, always a Dame-Tsuna."
"I know you loosened a screw before I sat." Tsuna used all his willpower not to roll his eyes at Reborn. "I'm not stupid."
"Hmm. Looks like I'll have to step up if you can see through this level of pranks." Reborn mentally began scheming while Tsuna paled.
"So what did you want to want to talk about, Tsuna-kun?" Kyoko looked up expectantly and a wave a guiltiness washed over Tsuna.
He looked over at Reborn who simply nodded. "Did Ryo-nii tell you he'd be leaving tommorow?" She looked surprised and shook her head no. "Did he tell you...how long?" His eyes bored into hers, she pondered for a split second as if trying to remembering if he had or not. She shook her head.
"No...brother just said it was for training." She said quietly, looking down; an awkward silence followed.
"Kyoko."
"Yes?" She looked into Tsuna's careful caramel eyes. They were strong, and even though they might look cold and emotionless to another person, she could see how tender they were; laced with anguish. He was grimacing, and she could see a noticable scar on his left cheek, if you looked close enough you could see the dented lines of marks from stitches. "Are you hiding something from me Tsuna-kun? Is it about the mafia?" She put her hand over her mouth in concern. He slowly closed his eyes and a small crease formed between his eyebrows, which happened when he was stressed.
"My guardians and I..." His eyes opened slowly. "are leaving for Italy tommorow." He felt a knife stab and twist through his heart as he watched Kyoko's expression fall; tears formed on the brim of her eyes, threatning to fall.
She quickly wiped them away, and forced a smile. "O-Oh...how long?"
He knew this was coming, but still felt the lump crawl into and get stuck in his throat. "I-" his mature tone cracked into a whisper as he saw a tear run down her delicate face. "Kyoko-?" He was never really good when it came to girls crying, let alone Kyoko. He cradled her in his chest, rocking back and forth slightly.
"He will always be Dame-Tsuna when it comes to love." Reborn looked over as the door opened. "Never forget to lock the door."
"HEY SAWADA! KYOKO!" Ryohei noticed Kyoko sniffling while holding onto Tsuna. "Kyoko? ARE YOU CRYING?"
She pulled away quickly, rubbing her eyes. "N-No onii-chan!" She lied, "Tsuna-kun was helping me get out a...eyelash that was making my eye water." As soon as she said it, the look of worry dissapeared from Ryohei's eyes.
"Sawada you're so kind!" Ryohei gave Tsuna a hard slap on the back to congratulate him, knocking the wind out of him. "So what'd you come over here for? EXTREME MAKEOVERS?" He asked with a little bit too much enthusiasm.
"Actually, Ryo-nii me and Kyoko were talking about us leaving tomorrow.." Tsuna said the last part quieter than the rest, like he was afraid someone else would hear him. He could feel Kyoko shift uncomfortably next to him.
"I'VE PACKED EVERYTHING! I"M SO EXCITED TO GO!" Ryohei babbled on what he would do when he first got there. Kyoko nodded sadly; not being able to take much more of the eccentric family, Tsuna made up that had needed to go check on the other guardians.
"Ciao, Ciao!" Reborn chriped his goodbye from Tsuna's shoulder. As the two got outside, Reborn's pacifier lit up for a split second, warning another acrobaleno was near. Tsuna turned his head ninety degrees so he was looking at Reborn perched on his shoulder.
"You can show yourself now." Reborn noted nonchalantly. If you were a normal person you would've thought he was talking to the air; but just as he said it another small infant appeared a few yards in front of Tsuna. He wore a large black jacket that covered his clothing as well as most of his face; only the bridge of his nose and small lips that were formed into a pout were visible. Under each eye there was a purple triangle tatoo. The infant sighed.
"I'll be so glad when I finish making the seal that hides my presence as an acrobaleno." The baby known as Viper mumbled.
"What did you come here for Mammon?" Tsuna asked.
"Hn. I can't remember. Perhaps a tip-" he narrowly dodged an oncoming bullet from Leon.
"We don't have time for your games." Reborn said sharply, cocking the gun, aimming it at Viper threateningly.
"Yare, Yare. I guess I could make an exception." Viper gulped inaudiably. "I just finished checking on all of Tsunayoshi's guardians; they're all ready." He slowly dissapeared.
"Wait- All of them?" Tsuna was surprised Hibari was packing without a fuss; but Viper had already left.
"Saves you time." Reborn hopped off Tsuna's shoulder onto the cement. "Go finish packing Dame-Tsuna."
"Are you going somewhere?" Tsuna raised his eyebrow in suspiousion.
"To see Verde." He hopped off before Tsuna could ask any questions.
"Tsuna-kun!" Tsuna turned to see Kyoko running in his direction. He thought about running off before she could catch him, but that would make even more problems. She ran up to him, panting slightly. "I wanted to give you another charm."
Tsuna dug into his pocket, taking out the charm Kyoko had made for him two years before. "Kyoko, it's alright I still have your other one-"
She gasped. "You still have it?" She watched him nod and put the charm back into his pocket carefully. "I still want to give you this.." She pulled out a white knitted mini-pouch with golden japanese symbols sewn onto it; the charm was filled with small crystals and smelled like vanilla. "I made it while you were gone and never got a chance to hand it to you." She blushed as he slowly took it from her, his eyes flickered with amusement.
"Kyoko..." He paused and slipped in his pocket. "Want to get some ice cream?"
Yamamto had just finished stuffing his father's kantana in his suitcase. He considered not bringing it all, but his father insisted, and Reborn told him they were going on a Vongola private jet so they were allowed to have weapons. Yamamoto scratched his head, thinking about how Italy would be; he had never gone there, but heard it was a great place. "I wonder if everyone else has finished packing." He chuckled to himself and looked over at the clock.
5:42
The day had passed by pretty quickly, he had occupied himself with helping his dad prepare the sushi for customers since it was probably going to be a while before he got back. Now thinking of it, Tsuna or Reborn never told him how long they'd be staying. His thoughts were interrupted by his father's voice.
"Takeshi! Help me with these customers!"
He set his suitcase on the bed where he wouldn't lose it. "Coming Pa!" He ran down the hall into a sidedoor that led to the kitchen. He put on a apron ready to start preparing the meal but his father came in. "These are special customers, Takeshi. I would like you to be the one asking the orders." Tsuyoshi helped his son untie the apron, and Yamamoto walked out to see who the 'special customers' were.
"Hey, Yamamoto!/Takeshi-kun!" Tsuna and Kyoko greeted.
"Yo! Tsuna! Sasagawa-chan!" Yamamoto grinned. "How's your date?" he asked, earning a blush from the both of them.
"It's not a date." Tsuna denied.
"Me and Tsuna-kun were just hanging out." Kyoko added, blushing. Well, they had eaten ice cream, kissed two times (pop kisses) and went to the movie theaters to see Inception, but she still refused to refer it as a date. After all, it'd, be useless falling in love with Tsuna since he was...she shook her head to brush the thought away. She glanced over in his direction, he was laughing at Yamamoto's joke, his velvet voice vibarating as he did. His untamed hair stuck out messily in different directions, his bangs had grown so they covered parts of his face, the rest of it was pulled back into a low ponytail, bound by a silver band he told her he had gotten from Chrome and Mukuro(who she saw seldomly). His facial features had become more sharp, his eyes were calm and carefully and when he smiled you could point out numerous scars. He was still just barley taller than her, but she could tell it had became more built. Looking at his beautiful figure made her heart hurt.
"Where's the bathroom?" Kyoko asked suddenly.
"Down the hall three doors to the right; make sure it has the number three on it, because theres another door next to it that leads outside." Yamamoto pointed over to the corridor, and she nodded heading over to it.
"She seemed distaracted.." Tsuna gaze followed her until she dissapeared down the corridor.
"Maa, she was staring at you while we were talking." Yamamoto grinned as he saw red creep onto Tsuna's face.
Kyoko stopped in front of the restroom with a plaque that had a '3' symbol on it. She looked over at the next door; hadn't Yamamoto said it lead outside? Surely a few seconds outside couldn't hurt. She opened the door and walked out, the temperature dropped immediately. The door had lead out into a small alley; on the other side of it she could see the lights of the cars passing by. Well, time to go back inside. She thought. She grabbed the door to open it but it was locked. Great. She heard a rustling sound and flinched.
"Hello...?" Kyoko looked around but saw nothing. She tied to convinced herself it was just a rat but she heard soft cackling. "W-Who's there?"
"There she is." A sly voice snickered.
"All alone." A rough voice added.
Two figures stepped in front of a street lamp. The raspy voice belonged to a tall dark-skinned male with platinum hair while the other sly voice belonged to a slim pale-skinned greasy man with a row of sharp teeth like a shark. Kyoko knew right away they weren't human. "What do you w-want?"
"You, dear." The sly one started to slither over to her.
"Eek! Tsuna-kun help me!" She backed up against the door she had came from, shivering from fear and the cold night. The greasy one stopped in front of her, laughing at how pathetic she looked.
"Maybe if your a good girl and come along silently.."
"Freak!" She yelled. "Stay away from me!"
"That hurt my feelings girl..." he hissed.
"Shut up and just grab her, dumbass." The other one croaked.
Kyoko screeched as the tall one forcefully snatched her wrist and started to pull her. "Let me go! Tsuna-kun!" She shouted at the top of her lungs. Kyoko thought about biting his arm, but a gunshot sounded throughout the alley, echoing. She could feel the grip on her arm slip and then a thud of a body hitting the floor; she looked down to see it was the body of the sharp toothed man.
"Y-You are-" The blond dark-skinned male didn't get to finish, another shot was heard and blood gushed out of a small hole in his head. He dropped dead.
Kyoko shakily looked up at her savior. He was a tall man with sharp features, his face was perfectly symetrical and would've looked godly if it wasn't formed into a scowl; it was flawless along with the rest of his well-built slender body. He wore a suit that looked quite expensive, a sophisticated aura clung to him. His hair ebony spikes were tucked under a fedora with a yellow ribbon wrapped around it. He turned to face Kyoko and gave her a light smirk. She watched as his long curly sideburns bounced back into place.
"Who are you?" She asked softly, cocking her head to the side.
The man's smirk subconciously got wider. She's been hanging around Dame-Tsuna too much, she acts just as girly as him. He thought. "I can't tell you that."
Kyoko was surprised at the sound of his deep baritone voice, she never thought someone so perfect could walk the face of the earth. "Oh too bad, I wanted to thank you properly." Her lips formed into a small pout as she looked up at the man.
Yup. Definitly too much of that no-good Tsuna in her. Reborn menatlly smacked himself from the déjà vu. "Shall I escort you back?"
"The door is locked...and I don't want Tsuna-kun to know I was out so I don't want to go to the front door..." Kyoko watched as the man strode past her, transforming his green gun into a picklock. He unlocked the door with ease and held it open for her.
Kyoko ran inside in relief. "Thanks mister-" But the strange man along with the bodies of the people who attacked her were gone, the alley was empty. She shrugged it off and ran back to where Tsuna and Yamamoto were, hoping she hadn't been gone too long.
"You're so kind, Reborn." A voice snickered.
Reborn (is back in his infant form because he had only taken a small dose of Verde's aging potion) transformed Leon into a pistol aimming it towards the rain arcobaleno. "Colonello, are you aware of how annoying you are?"
"I won't ever let you forget it, hey." Colonello grinned.
Gokudera was shoving multiple things in his suitcase like there was no tommorow.
"Dynamities...check. Clothes...check. Extra food, medical equipment, and hair ties for Juudiame...check. Posion cooking...ch-WAIT, WHAT THTE HELL? SIS!"
Hibari neatly organized his clothes, putting each one in by alphabetical order of the brand. "Dickies...Fruit of the loom...Hanes..." he made sure they were all in order.
"Kyo-san." Kusakabe sweatdropped.
"What?" Hibari zipped the remaining contents of his suitcase. He held out his finger, offering it to his Hi-bird that gladly landed on it. He looked over at Kusakabe who was sweating, while making a somewhat puzzled expression. "What it is?" He repeated with more force.
"I just wanted to ask...is there a reason you're packing here instead of your house..? I mean I know you have to leave tommorow and everything..I thought non-related school items were against the, you know.." Kusakabe laughed nervously as a dark aura seeped out of Hibari. "I'll shut up now, Kyo-san.."
Hibari had the urge to take his tonfas out of his suitcase and bite Kusabake to death for questioning him, but restrained himself. He was never going back to that house...ever again. His mother was gone, and his father was a drunk who used to..."Kusabake."
"Yes?" Kusakabe tensed, waiting for Hibari to bite him to death. It never came. "K-Kyo-san?" He stammered as Hibari slowly walked up to him.
"Hold out your hand." Hibari demanded.
Kusakabe held out his hand obidently held out his hand as he looked at Hibari expectantly. His boss's face was bland except for the flicker in his eyes that Kusakabe had never seen before. It was sadness, loneliness, and...worry? "Are you ok Kyo-san?" He asked quickly, pulling his hand away, not used to the emotion in Hibari's eyes.
Hibari's dark aura came back. "Hold out your hand..." Kusakabe gulped and did as he was told. He slipped a pair of keys in his subordinates...no, friend's hand and sighed in aggravation. "The keys to the reception room. While I'm gone, you will be in charge; any herbivores who disrupt the peace of this school, bite them to death."
Kusakabe smiled as Hibari turned his back to hide his slight blush. "Will do, Kyo-san."
"M-Mukuro-sama, have you finished packing?" Chrome asked, peeking her head in Mukuro's ruin.(room) Mukuro hadn't heard her, he was too busy stuffing a suspious amount of pineapples in his suitcase. She wondered what he could be doing with all those.
Mukuro zipped the duffel bag, and then peered around the room to check if any one had seen. He noticed Chrome was staring at him. "Woah- You scared me, dear nagi..." He was sweating like crazy, hoping she hadn't seen him. "Kufufu..How long have you been..standing there?" He pushed the duffel bag behind him.
"Mukuro-sama.. What are you doing with all those pineapples?" Chrome asked softly.
"T-Training..yea that's it. F-For..Kufufu- illusions." Mukuro gave her a sly smile.
"You're not l-lying to me, Mukuro-sama, are you?" Her huge eyes welled up with tears, and Mukuro gave in, knowing he had lost.
He sighed. "Nagi, please don't share this information with anyone...especially that skylark. I'd never live it down." Mukuro shuddered slightly at the sight of Hibari towering over him, taunting 'pineapple head no.1' over and over again. "Lately I've been having wierd cravings for pineapples."
"Pffft." Chrome couldn't help but let out a small laugh that broke out into giggles as a curtain of gloom covered Mukuro. An imginary Chrome joined Hibari's taunting.
Poor, Poor Mukuro.
Though these chapters sometimes seem pointless, you need 'em to fill in some gaps for later...Anyways I bet you are all ready for them to get to the mafia school already. X). Tell me what you think and I'm trying to update as fast as possible, really. This chapter was supposed to come a little later but your reviews encouraged me to stop procrastining and just get it over with! Hopefully the next chaper they will finally get to the school, for crying out loud. Sorry for any grammer mistakes, I did check over most of it though.
*Masahiro Nakai- don't know many details, just googled it and found out he was a japanese Idol. I hate when my info isn't accurate...
