I sighed to myself before taking out the Ace of Clubs. I moved it to where it touched the forehead of my mask.
"You lost this game once you stepped inside." Aurora stated cockily. I let go of the card and let it fall to the ground.
"How so?" I mumbled. She smirked to herself.
"Because I'm your opponent." After that said she ran at me. She raised her arm back and quickly released it forward. I did back bend before doing a back flip. My foot narrowly missed her face. She smirked at me and chuckled a little.
My eyes narrowed and I bit my lip lightly. Which one should I do?
"Come one, come all." I stated spreading out my hands. Aurora's smirk fell.
"To the first act of Yukai. Let me tell you it's mind blowing." I chuckled darkly and placed my hands in front of me with my palms facing her. She stared at me unamused.
Then a small red dot appeared and with every second it became bigger. After about ten seconds it completely blocked my sight of her.
I removed my hands and held out my left hand. My baton appeared and I spun it. Magic it is then.
"Batter up." I mused to myself before hitting the red ball with everything I had. Immediately it popped and smoke started pour out. A loud high pitch scream came from the the ball as well.
I used the smoke to my advantage and maneuvered my way using my sense of smell. A sweet lilac smell started to fill my nostrils and became sweeter the closer I ran into it's direction. It wasn't until the smell became unbearably strong did I finally stop.
It was hard to tell through the smoke but I could see a small outline of Aurora. I smirked to myself. This was too easy.
Suddenly something yanked me back hard my neck and an object was held there. It felt like wood.
"How idiotic." She mumbled close to my ear. I chuckled loudly.
"Says the one who fell for my trick."
Yukai sighed to herself as she stared at the small cow. Slowly she bent and grabbed him. He was shaking like a leaf in the wind and he was cold.
Holding him in one arm she slowly slid off her jacket and wrapped it around him. Then she held him close to her trying to warm him up.
"Lambo!" A voice called out. Yukai turn towards the sound and soon enough a breathless Tsuna arrived. Yukai smiled to herself even though he couldn't see it and walked towards him.
"Y-Yukai?" He stated in surprise. She nodded and handed him the cow. Tsuna grabbed him gratefully and looked away a little nervously.
"I'll walk you towards the safety zone." Yukai stated grabbing him by his wrist.
"M-Matte!" He called out. She stopped but didn't look back.
"What about everyone else?"
"I'll take care of it. Don't worry."
Relief flooded the young Vongola as he let the masked girl drag him to the safety zone.
He didn't know why but for some reason he trusted her. Even though this was the fourth time they met, there was something about Yukai that made him feel safe. It was a familiar feeling to what he had with Yukiko when they were younger.
"Chrome-chan please trust me."
The female illusionists stared at Yukai unsure. She wasn't sure if it was a trick or not.
Ryohei frowned to himself. Yukai was fighting the Varia Snow Guardian so why was she here?
"I don't believe you to the extreme!" He stated getting into a defensive stance.
"Fine don't, but Tsuna will be sad if something happens to you." Once that was said a knife flew by them. Everyone looked at the tree it hit.
"Shit they found us. Ryohei go north from here! You and Chrome will reach the dugout soon. Tsuna and Lambo are already there!" Yukai pushed Ryohei and Chrome into the direction. Then she threw a box onto the floor.
"Let the game begin." She mused to herself.
Ryohei stared at the Snow Guardian unsure before turning to Chrome. He was going to ignore his gut feeling and trust in Yukai. Hopefully it won't be a mistake.
"Let's hurry to the extreme!" Cue an eye brow twitch from Yukai.
She nodded as they ran towards the direction Yukai had said. After they disappeared a dark ushishi echoed around.
I jabbed Aurora in the stomach making her let go of one side off the wood and did a spin kick. My leg hit nothing but air.
"Oh and how did I fall for you petty trick?" She wondered. My smirk widen. She couldn't tell.
"5...4...3.." I counted closing my eyes. "2...1...boom."
A loud boom erupted close by followed by others as well. More smoke appeared making it even more harder to see.
I bent down and placed one hand on the ground. Vibrations from the explosions still erupted from the ground.
"Perfect." I whispered to myself. I closed my eyes.
"It's time for you to shine once again."
"Did you get it?" Lucky questioned. It's been a few days and Cyber has been cooped up in the her lab trying to hack into the cameras, database, you name it and she would be trying to hack into that as well.
"Not yet but I'm getting closer." She stated typing furiously.
Then a small spider appeared on the screen. Cyber paused staring at it oddly along with Lucky.
Then the spider started to make a web on all the windows and data Cyber had open.
"No.." Cyber trailed off as the spider began to wrap everything with it's data. Then it bit into it and everything went black. A lone sentence appeared on the screen.
'You've been poisoned.'
Cyber hit the keyboard angrily. She stood up abruptly knocking the chair down. She picked it up angrily grasping it hard.
"Who the fuck is trying to keep us from finding her?" She screamed throwing her chair at the computer screen breaking it. Lucky stayed silent also thinking about the the question Cyber angrily asked.
Four large cards were placed in between us. Blood flowed from my arm and dripped onto snow.
Aurora smirked at me raising the scythe to her mouth before licking off some blood. She gave me a smug grin.
A breeze swept through making my bangs cover my face. A sigh escaped from my mouth.
I closed my eyes and spun my baton ignoring the slight pain the movement caused. I stop and held the baton diagonal in in front of me.
"Melodia di Lupo*." I whispered crouching down. I snapped my eyes open and ran at Aurora at a high speed. The wind caused from my speed made a low loud howl and the current wind helped make it louder.
I started to spin my baton as well and let go of it with my right hand not missing a beat. Now a the howl was pitch higher.
When I reached Aurora I swung my baton at her. She held up her scythe blocking it. But the impact made a rough sound like a bark.
Aurora stared at me wide eyed as I kept swinging at her. Every time she would block and the impact would sound like a bark.
"Il ballo del Leone**." She stated jumping away from me. She crouched down low and bowed her head for a second before charging at me. In a second she was in front of me with her scythe back ready to swing.
I jumped back barely dodging the weapon, but the attack didn't stop there. Aurora appeared beside me and took two quick graceful steps toward me swinging the scythe hard at me.
For a shield I held up my baton. A loud clang was heard from the impact and vibrations erupted through my body. My eyes widen as she swung lower than my baton.
By reflex my hand went out and grabbed the staff part of the scythe barely making it in time before the sharp knife could have pierced my legs.
The scythe disappeared from my sight and I snapped my head up. My eyes scanned the area but nobody was in sight.
Where the hell could she have disappeared too? I questioned looking everywhere cautiously.
"Don't ever let your opponent get behind you!" A voice exclaimed. I turned around quickly and saw Aurora in the air holding her scythe behind her high. My eyes widen as I stood there paralyzed.
Momoko scoffed to herself as she watched Yukiko attack Aurora. Her eyes wandered to the young Vongola by Reborn. He stared worriedly at the screen.
"Look there's Ryohei and Chrome." Dino stated smiling. Tsuna turned his eyes away from the screen and smiled as he saw his friends enter the dugout.
"Are Gokudera, Yamamoto, or Hibari with you?" He questioned worriedly. Ryohei frowned and told him no as Chrome walked to Ken and Chikusa.
The scene on the small TV changed from Yukai's fight and showed Gokudera and Yamamoto, but there was a familiar person there with them.
"HIEE!" Tsuna exclaimed noticing the person. Momoko smirked to herself and crossed her arms.
"Wasn't she just fighting?" Dino wondered in surprise.
"Fighting? She was with us a few minutes ago." Chrome said softly.
"Stop questioning and just watch. You'll see the trick soon." Momoko mused.
"It's that petty trick again." A baritone voice stated. Tsuna freaked out as Hibari entered the dugout.
Momoko stared at him from the corner of her eye. Petty trick he said. Did he somehow figure her trick out?
"Look you idiot, if you go west from where you are right now you will reach the dugout." Yukai growled restraining from killing Gokudera. Said boy growled at her and held up some dynamites.
"Ma ma let's listen to her Gokudera." Yamamoto cut in. Gokudera glared at him.
"She's a fake you baseball freak!" He screamed pointing at Yukai.
"We met at the Namimori Festival when some high school kids stole the money from Tsuna's booth. If I was a fake how did I know something from back then?" Yukai questioned placing one hand on her hips. Gokudera eyes narrowed as he stared at her warily. Yukai gave a frustrated sigh as she glanced to where the sound of a howl came from.
"What the hell was that?"
"Ignore it. Hurry to the dugout." Yukai stated walking away from the two. "I don't want anyone to be here when it gets serious." She mumbled the last part to herself.
Gokudera stared after her as she disappeared.
"The dugout is west from here." Yamamoto stated to him. Gokudera turned to him and crossed his arms before grumbling as he walked off.
"You coming baseball freak?" Yamamoto laughed following after Gokudera.
Breathing in this air was starting to become harder. The cold crisp air stung against my throat. Even my body was starting to get numb, but I have to hold off just a little longer. I have to wait until they are all there safely, but can I really wait that long?
My eyes stayed on the elgeant black wood that was laying all over the snow. The emitting pains from my shoulder started to become distant as the wood started to become unfocused.
Anger started to surge through me. My sight turned red as my nails digged into my palms.
"You fucking bitch." I gave a bitter chuckle. "You broke something important to me. Now you will pay." My eyes wandered to the watch. All orange dots were glowing except one. I bit my lip as I stared it. Finally it went on.
"I'm waiting." She taunted. I started to laugh and soon more laughs started join in. Her eyes widened as everyone stood behind me.
"Sorry I had to hold up and change places every now and then. The chances are that you fought us all is very high." One stated. I started to chuckle. It was a mistake to trade places with the fake me after I heard the howls. Maybe it would have been better to have my trick found out than break something so precious to me.
"Thanks for the help." I mused snapping my fingers. One by one each replica changed into confetti and balloons. I didn't use any birds this time because I was afraid something would happen to them.
I ran at her taking her surprise to my advantage. My arm reached back and took out both fans that were tied to my belt loop. Quickly I opened the black one and swiped it at her before opening the white one doing the same.
Blood spurted out from the x mark wound on Aurora's chest causing her to stagger back and drop her scythe. She grasped her chest after she gained balance and slowly let go. She held up her hand shakily to her face. Her eyes were wide and it was complete silence until she started to laugh.
"It's been so long since I last saw my blood." She mumbled tangling her hands into her hair. Her laugh started to become hysterical as she smeared the blood onto her face.
"I owe you. Now it's time to see the face of my opponent isn't it?" She mused crazily reaching for her scythe. The moment she had it in her hand she disappeared. A second later she appeared in front of me with the but of the scythe slamming into my mask.
I skidded back from the impact but the staff never left my mask. In fact Aurora was putting more pressure into it.
A loud crack echoed through the dome as I hit the tree. Blood poured out of my mouth and face as pieces of the mask pierced into my skin and fell onto the ground. My body fell flat onto the ground and my hair covered my face sticking onto the blood.
"What a shame, I thought you were going to make me pay."
Pressure was applied to my back. More blood spurted out of my mouth.
"I am. I'm not finished you bitch." I coughed out more blood as the pressure came harder. A shadow was casted over me and fingers touched my face. Slowly they wiped away the strands of hair.
"So it is you." Her voice was smug.
Momoko closed her eyes. This was the exact thing she was worried about. She couldn't watch this no more.
"That can't be..." Tsuna trailed off staring at the screen horror stricken. Everyone else except Reborn. Hibari, and the Kokuyo group stared at the screen surprised.
"Yukiko when did you get dragged into this?" The brunette screamed. "Why did you do this? You said you didn't want to join! So why?" His eyes filled with tears as he watched his childhood friend get kicked in the stomach countless times.
Momoko but her lip to stop herself from saying something. It wasn't her business to say anything.
"I-I wanted to repent...for the things...I did." A soft voice coughed out. Finally Aurora had stopped kicking her.
"I..I did so many bad things. Did you know...I hated the mafia? They destroyed my life." Slowly she pushed herself up giving a soft bitter chuckle.
"The memories...with you were my light. I..I always thought of you and I wanted...so badly to come back. I'm sorry."
A tear slipped down Tsuna's face as he watched Yukiko struggle to get up. Aurora kicked her down and gave a sadistic laugh.
"Then why did you come! If you hated the mafia then why? Yukiko give up please! I don't want you to die! You're too important to me!" He screamed.
My eyes widen after those words where said. A small smile came to my face. This will probably be the last time he would say those words to me.
"Because," I inhaled ignoring the pain the cold wind sent through my body. "You're the best friend I ever had."
Slowly I pushed myself up again coughing up a little bit of blood. I glared at Aurora through my bangs and reached for my fans. She stared at me as I grabbed them and analyzed my every move.
"How touching it makes me want to puke." Aurora stated smirking at me. I gave a bitter chuckled and held my fans defensively.
"Tsuna..I told you I would...protect you...and I will even if it costs me my life. That's how important," I stopped coughing out some blood. "you are to me."
I twisted both bottoms of the fans and spun both of them at a rapid speed. Finally the Hitoshirenu keise appeared.
"Melodia triste di fanciulla***." I whispered bowing my head. A shadow appeared before me and I did a back bend narrowly missing a fatal hit from the scythe.
I bent back up quickly spreading my legs out and bent down forward missing another fatal hit. From there I placed the Hitoshirenu keise above my head and started to spin it at a rapid speed. Slowly I moved it towards the snow causing it to shoot up and blind my opponent temporarily. Taking this moment to my advantage, I twisted the the but separating the fan into two again and started to move my arms back, forward and side ways. The snow that was on the fan was shot at random in a high speed making deadly as a bullet. (A/N: kind of like Hinata's Chakra Needle Technique).
I closed my eyes and moved my foot backwards. I ignored the sounds of the tailwind from the fan and began to focus on one thing. My heartbeat.
It was going at a high pace right now. Taking in that rhythm I made a quick half clockwise with the foot that was behind before moving it outwards to the side. I bent my side to be parallel with it before throwing my fans up in the air.
By now my heartbeat was calm and steady. With this new rhythm I took a few steps back barely taking notice of the fatal swing that almost had me. I opened my arms wide and catched both fans before making crossing them making an x over my chest.
A clang was heard and a pressure was felt. I skidded a little bit back before pushing it back.
I spread open my fans before spinning them. Carefully I moved them to where the buts touched each other and changed it back into into the Hitoshirenu keise.
My eyes opened and took in the scene before me. Trees were broken and branches were everywhere. But Aurora stood tall with many cuts in her clothes and blood falling from the multiple small cuts.
"Did you really think that would stop me you stupid whore?" She questioned angrily. I stared at her emotionless.
"I used to be fucking Camilla Nicola damn it! The musical prodigy of all time." She growled out. I made no significance but I was surprised to hear that. No wonder the girl on the cover looked so familiar.
"You wasted enough of my time. It's time for you to die. La ballata dell'Iena****."
