Well, I totally FAIL at fanfiction. I reread this chapter and found just how incredibly awful it was to you all know the rest. I REWROTE IT!
Still the Shortest chapter though. Chap 6 should be out soon, I'm just gonna have to think and type it... and hopefully it wont turn into a fail.
Hope you like this version chap better than the previous one, I most certainly did. XD
DISCLAIMER: You all know this so I dont have to say anything.
Hope you review XD
'This place...' Mukuro looked around, taking in the scenery surrounding him.
The wind was blowing slightly throughout the fields and he once again felt that peaceful tranquillity he always does whenever he retreats. He was back within his illusory world. It seems that the brunette couldn't take the pressure of being interrogated by the irritable skylark.
"Kufufufufu~"
"H-huh? Wh-where are we?"
He was surprised to find yet another presence within his isolated sanctuary; nonetheless he turned to greet the confused brunette currently occupying the space beneath the large sakura tree, looking around with wide curious eyes.
"Kufufu~ Welcome Tsunayoshi-kun, I most certainly have not been expecting you"
Sawada Tsunayoshi was in absolute wonder.
The scenery was absolutely breath-taking; a blue lake sparkling like diamonds under the warm sunlight, Sakura trees in full bloom, the grass as green as green as they could get, and all under the vast blue sky.
"This place is amazing" he managed to state.
"Yes… it is" Mukuro replied wistfully, a smirk on his lips. "This makes you the second… as much as I hate people invading my personal space"
Tsuna spun towards Mukuro instantly, obviously flabbergasted, "Aren't YOU the one invading MY personal space for this whole week?" he only received a playful chuckle in return. "…I-Is this where you met Chrome then?"
A small smile crossed the taller male's face as he looked towards upwards.
"Yes, it was pure coincidence how I met her. It was a wonder to me that she was able to hear my voice, more so to be able to enter this place" the Mist Guardian answered wistfully, his hair blowing ever so gently in the breeze as the Sakura petals fluttered about.
Tsuna let a smile cross his lips as he thought of how the two might have met. "I heard from Reborn that you saved Chrome's life…"
"It was merely on a whim. I was able to sense her abilities; she had the potential to become a great illusionist, and she served as a worthy vessel" a frown appeared on Tsuna's face as he listened.
"But that's not all you think of her right?"
"Hm?"
"You respect her as a person as well right? She's important to you…" the short brunette stated, and a smile graced the illusionist's lips.
"I suppose…" he answered. In truth, he did not know how to care for other people. He only thought of human's as mere toys, easily broken and easily replaced, pawns that he could manipulate to help him succeed in his goals; he was not knowledgeable of what others refer to as 'feelings', it was unnecessary, they were nothing but human weakness. And he had never been considered human to begin with. However, that seemed so long ago...
He had actually learned to 'care' for others; he had begun to understand emotions... he had started to become more… human. And the person who might have been the cause was sitting close to him right now.
Tsunayoshi smiled as a comfortable silence enveloped the two, just observing the scenery before them.
He did not need hyper intuition to know that this world wasn't real; a place like this couldn't possibly exist in reality, it was too perfect. Nonetheless it still managed to fill him with the feeling of warmth and serenity, as if just being here brought peace to one's soul. Yet… there was something else there, he just couldn't tell what it was…
"This is my world, a world created within my mind. When I cannot go to the outside world, this is where I'll be" Mukuro explained.
"Ehh… so it's like your own personal hiding place then" Tsuna stated.
Mukuro sweat dropped. "I really wouldn't call it a hiding place…-"
"But doesn't it get… lonely being here on your own?" the brunette cut him off, the illusionist only smirked in reply.
….Silence…
"Ne Mukuro…" Tsuna suddenly perked up as a thought struck him. "How did I end up in here?"
And the signature smirk quickly reappeared on Mist Guardian's face, a playful glint within his eyes. "Kufufufu~ How you ended up here exactly, I am not sure; but last I know, you fainted while conversing with the little skylark"
And all colour drained from the brunette's face as a sinking feeling that his life might currently be in danger of being bitten to death. "Hi-Hi-H… OH NO! HE KNOWS! HIBARI-SAN KNEW YOU WERE THERE! AND I FAINTED! He is so going to bite me to death… BUT WHAT IF HE'S BEATING ME UP RIGHT NOW? WHAT DO WE DO WHAT DO WE DO WHAT DO WE DOOO!"
Well… that was actually a normal reaction, if you knew the prefect in question.
Mukuro was entirely amused by the display. The Young Vongola in frenzy was indeed a sight to see. Yet apparently, if ever the brunette does die at the hands of Hibari Kyoya, then it would be troublesome for him as well. "Kufufu~"
Then a thought struck him. As absurd and uncanny it was, it was still a possibility "Ne Tsunayoshi-kun…"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~Vongola Famiglia~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Show yourself" the order was straight and to the point.
HIbari Kyoya is not an ignorant person. As much as he despises crowds, he likes to observe. He would know when something is happening within a mile away from him, he can tell when people are lying and he would know if any person in front of him would prove to be a worthy opponent.
Thus it is not a surprise that he was also able to sense the new yet not familiar presence of his one sworn rival.
"Stop hiding or I'll bite you to death" brandishing sleek silver twin tonfas, the threat was by no means empty.
What came next was almost laughable. He spared a glance towards the weak herbivore only to have him faint, the presence disappearing not a second afterwards.
With a sigh, he contemplated on whether to just leave the brunette in the middle of the road; surely one of his herbivore friends would come to pick him up later. However, there was still that one little possibility.
He knew about Sawada Tsunayoshi the moment he first saw him out of Namimori Hospital, he could somehow sense how the herbivore is connected to the illusionist. He did not know what happened, but neither did he care. After all, it didn't matter as long as he could finally bite the illusionist to death.
And so, with that thought in mind, he carried the limp brunette back towards his temporary haven in the guise of Namimori Middle's Reception room.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~Vongola Famiglia~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Kufufu~ So it is possible" Rokudo Mukuro whispered as he raised hisright hand... no, it wasn't his. He did have full control of it, but it was not his but Sawada Tsunayoshi's right hand.
He was currently in control of the brunette's body; however he knew he couldn't hold it for long, being only a spirit meant that his powers were limited.
And as strange as it is, he didn't feel too overjoyed to finally be in possession of this body. But that aside—
"Greetings, Hibari Kyoya. It has been a while" he smirked at the dark haired teen in front of him. He could already sense the deadly aura the Cloud Guardian was giving off; if it were any other person, they would probably be on their knee's begging to be spared.
"Rokudo Mukuro" a nearing mischievous grin graced the prefect's lips as he spoke. No later did Mukuro find a silver tonfa in his face.
"Kufufu~ You surely haven't changed" the illusionist stated, lazily sidestepping the skylarks attack whilst grabbing his tonfa with a free hand. "I am sad to say, but I did not come here to fight you"
With narrowed eyes, he was answered by another swing followed by an "I'll bite you to death"
Mukuro's acquired honey brown eyes lit up with pure amusement at the older boy's antics. He let the tonfa go, dodging another swing. He sighed "Seriously Kyoya-kun, that catchphrase of yours is getting out of date" he chuckled.
"Shut up" a few more blows came his way to which he all dodged. As he sidestepped a pretty dangerous punch, the skylark did an unbelievable thing.
"How are you right now? And why are you with that herbivore?"
Mukuro blinked once, twice. "Oya? I didn't know that Kyoya-kun was the curious type. I never thought I'd see the day that you of all people would learn to care" he was answered by an icy glare. "Why would you want to know? Well, I do suppose that 'biting this body to death' wouldn't really suffice unless it is my own—"
"Shut up and answer the question" the irritable skylark's eyes narrowed, his patience was obviously growing thin.
"Kufufu~ As much as I'd love to stay and chat, I'm afraid that I must take my leave. I cannot hold out any longer than this, Tsunayoshi-kun just lost consciousness again" he sighed, eyelids dropping as the body of the 16 year old brunette fell forward, straight into the skylarks arms.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~Vongola Famiglia~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Tch. He got away" Hibari inspected the brunette in his arms as he carried him towards the sofa.
He could no longer feel the illusionist's presence, and the herbivore was fast asleep.
Looking out the window of the Reception Room, he could see the night sky filled with thousands of stars. He didn't realize it was so late. Deeming it inappropriate to send a student home at this hour, he chose to just alert the boy's mother about his stay in school.
Glancing down at the small herbivore lying down on his sofa, he didn't bother to hold back a big yawn and decided that he needed some sleep as well.
"Oyasumi" he called out as he switched off the lights before leaving the room as quietly as possible.
