Chapter 4: Russian Roulette
xxXXxx
"So embarrassing~! You slept in the toilet!"
"Pfft! He's worse than me!" Kaito jeered.
"Shut up…" Mukuro replied. They were on their way back to the mist room. The group got lost a few times but managed to go back into the right track. It was near sunset and Mukuro hasn't found the cure. 'Fuck!' He mentally said. The Dokuro disease is said to kill you by the time sunset comes. That was what Tsuna said to him.
"So embarrassing~! You actually believed that you're going to die by sunset!"
Mukuro and his group paused for a while. "Nani?" The mist guardian questioned. He wasn't going to die by sunset? How did that happen?
There was no reply from the Dokuro disease. What did he expect? That the disease would give him an answer? The disease only gives the embarrassing things not to answer questions. He remembered the brunet's words and that made him annoyed even more. They continued to walk the hallway that seemed to be longer than usual. After a few more turns, they finally reached the mist room.
"HAH~~! We finally reached our destination!" Hibiki fell on his knees and shouted to the sky… err… ceiling.
"Attention to all students of the foreign class. This is Reboyama-sensei speaking. Everyone is requested to go to the basement NOW." There was a short pause "Ah! And try not to get lost on your way."
"Fuck!" Hibiki shouted once more. "That's the first time I hear you say that…" Kouga pointed out. "Shut up! I wanted to rest then suddenly a teacher saying he's Reboyama-sensei announces that we're going to the basement PLUS we need to go there and avoid being lost!"
"Before I forget, it's not the teacher who called for the class. It's Vongola Decimo."
"Is he stalking us?!"
"No I'm not."
"See?!" Hibiki huffed as he pointed at the speaker. He scratched his head while he walks in circles.
"So embarrassing~! You cross-dressed just so you can enter the girl's CR!"
"You actually did that?" Kaito raised a brow. "I just noticed… but aren't those Dokuro things increasing? You have one on your right cheek…" He poked the said place.
Mukuro was blushing with embarrassment. He slapped the hand that was poking his cheek. He coughed into his hand before speaking "Kufufu… we don't want Decimo waiting now do we?"
"Changing the subject now aren't we?" Kouga slyly spoke.
"It was the closest toilet okay?!" The mist guardian hastily replied.
"Don't tell me… You also had a problem with your stomach!" Kaito happily shouted.
"Ano… Why are you still here?" Another person entered with the same hairstyle as Mukuro.
"Oya, oya… Chrome, what took you so long?"
"Boss told me to say that your group should be prepared since your group is the only one not in the basement." The female Mist guardian said. She tilted her head slightly to the side. "Mukuro-sama… What's that?" She pointed to another Dokuro on his arm.
"Kufufu… It's called Dokuro disease…"
"Eh? Dokuro..? Like me?" Chrome pointed to herself. "Mukuro-sama… Am I the reason for your condition?"
"Oya, Chrome… don't you know that your name is an anagram of mine?" Chrome shook her head. Mukuro sighed then smiled fondly at her. "My first name is Mukuro, yours is Chrome, Ku-ro-mu. My last name is Rokudo, yours is Dokuro, Do-ku-ro. Now do you understand?" She nodded.
"So embarrassing~! You keep a set of underwear of your beloved Chrome!" Mukuro immediately covered Chrome's ears by then. "Mukuro-sama… What was that?"
"It's nothing Chrome." Mukuro said. He glared at the three members if his group who were silently laughing. The door blasted open.
"Mukuro you bastard! How long are you going to keep us waiting in the basement?!" Gokudera shouted. "Reborn-san and the tenth is getting impatient thanks to you and your group!"
"So embarrassing~! You have pictures of Gokudera wearing embarrassing clothes!"
"Mukuro… GIVE ME THOSE FREAKIN' PICTURES!" The silverette charged the pineapple man. Mukuro made an illusion in the nick of time. "ANEKI!" Gokudera fainted as he clutched his stomach.
"Now let's go to the basement." And so another round of confusing turns in the mansion continues… with Gokudera being dragged…
"Why did I decide to go to this stupid trip..?" Hibiki asks himself.
"You said that it would be awesome." Kaito replied.
"I wasn't talking to you stupid. I was talking to myself."
"Then why are you talking to me?"
"Because you interrupted my talk to myself."
"Look, you're doing it again…"
"Just shut up…"
"So embarrassing~! You just noticed that you're wearing your inner clothes in the wrong side!"
"Ne Mukuro, you have a lot of embarrassing moments don't you…" Kouga commented.
"Kufufu… I don't want to hear that from you…" I really need to find the damn cure before it's too late!
"Ah! Mukuro-sama! You're going the wrong way! The basement is this way!" Chrome tugged Mukuro's sleeve and pointed her finger to the right which goes to show that the man was going the complete opposite of their direction, left.
"I really want to go home… What if Len is being forced to cross-dress without me?!"
"Hm..? What was that?" Hibiki wondered.
"They're already starting!" Chrome shouted. "We need to hurry!" She grabbed Mukuro's hand and rushed to the source of the sound. They stopped in front of a door. Opening it revealed a staircase going down the basement.
As they got down, they saw a blonde girl on all fours, crying her heart out with the others sweat dropping at her previous statement. "Yosh! Let's start the real deal!" Reborn clapped his hands and gives a dangerous glance at the late comers. "How about your group, Mukuro? Are they prepared?"
"Kufufu… My group is always prepared."
"Yes, yes, like the time that one of your members used the map for wiping his butt. They're prepared, VERY prepared." The sun arcobaleno smirked at Mukuro.
"Oya… now that I've noticed… isn't that your original body?"
"So embarrassing~! You lost in the fight of comebacks for the first time!"
"Keh! The Dokuro is right Mukuro… You tried to change the topic awhile ago right?"
"Reborn… you're enjoying this too much… Mukuro… that's just a hologram… Shouichi and the others are trying to create a cure for the arcobalenos so they need all the current arcobalenos to come with them for the time being. Reborn is present but not physically, he's just speaking through the microphone and then the voice is converted to match the hologram…" Tsuna walks forward and reveals that he's in his boxers.
"Oya, oya, rather bold are we?"
"Ahahaha… there's a story behind this…" the brunet lightly scratched his cheek. "Anyways… get a gun over there so we can know who's not here yet…"
"Whoa! We're handling a gun?!" Hibiki exclaimed.
"What's wrong with handling a gun?" Kaito asked as he twirls one in his finger.
BANG!
A bullet flies into the air but luckily no one got hit by it. "THAT'S THE WRONG THING ABOUT GUNS! IT FIRES UNEXPETEDLY AND MIGHT KILL SOMEONE!" Hibiki flailed his hands in the air.
"It's actually cool to be honest…" Kouga pointed the gun at a random position.
"Hey don't point the gun yet!" Tsuna shouted. He rushed to Kouga's hand and puts it down. "Not everyone is present yet!"
"Tsunayoshi-kun… when are you willing to give me the cure for this disease?" Mukuro walked forward with his hand shaking. "I don't have the cure… Doctor Shamal has it." Tsuna waved a hand in front of him. "… And I'm not so sure if he's around…" The brunet glanced at the door. "Oh they're here!" He went to the three females entering the basement. Mukuro merely stared at another Dokuro mark at his forearm due to disappointment.
"Hahi! So much people desu! Just how long are we going to play 'that' game?!" The eccentric brunette, Haru, exclaimed. Her hair was tied to a pony tail. She wore a plain white shirt with black shorts. She walks to the place where the guns are stocked.
"After this everyone is going to the dinner place! We made a lot of food for everyone!" Kyoko shouted to the crowd which was answered by a lot of male stuttering a yes.
"This will be a lot of fun." Hana entered with her arms folded. "Sawada… Why are you in your boxer..?"
"There's a story behind this but nevermind that. Let's start!" Tsuna announced. "IS EVERYONE HOLDING A GUN!?" He shouted. His shout although wasn't really that loud and then this is where Reborn steps in. With his Leon-gun in his right hand, he gave a shot. A very loud bang was heard and everyone present flinched from it.
"Just for the sake of fun we will be playing Russian Roulette." The sun arcobaleno announced. He tipped his fedora so he can see the reactions of the students. "I may be just a hologram for now but what I am holding right is real." He glared. He may be a hologram but the glare was very surreal. "Listen, playing the Russian Roulette may cost you your life. Coming here means that you are prepared to face the consequences. Is everybody prepared to lose their life?" He spoke in a menacing dark tone. Some students gulped and some clutched their shirt to where the heart is located.
"T-Tsuna-kun… Reborn-kun is j-joking right?" Kyoko shakily asks. "Knowing Reborn, he's probably half-lying and half-telling the truth… Well… let's just hope for the best…" he reassuringly said and gives a good hold on the girl's hand.
"We will be using a revolver for this special game. Each one of you is given one bullet, until I say the word 'stop' you are required to spin the revolving cylinder, and when I do say 'stop' point the gun at the head of the person in front of you and pull the trigger. The best part is that everything is based on pure luck. Do I make myself clear?" Reborn was answered by shaky nods. Reborn still had his amused smirk plastered. "Dame-Tsuna, distribute these. Oh! And before I forget, there are some guns that are already loaded with a bullet." The sun arcobaleno threw a box full of bullets. Lucky for Tsuna he caught it. The brunet peeped into the box and gave him also an amused look. 'This will really be a good activity…'
He handed out the bullets to all the people in the basement. "Put the bullet in any chamber." Tsuna instructed. He signaled Reborn that everyone has their bullets loaded. "Start."
Almost everybody in the basement hesitatingly spun the cylinder. Tsuna, his guardians and the girls were spinning it with no utter care in the world. While spinning it, Reborn arranged them in a huge circle so that everyone has someone to shoot. "Stop." He commanded. They did stop and pointed the gun at the person in front of them. Tsuna made the first shot and like a domino effect, they triggered their own. There were some that collapsed on their knees and gave a huge sigh of relief. The others were shot and fell down the floor…
"REBORN! I WILL FIGHT ICHIGO WITH MY DYING WILL!" Oga's shirt and pant got ripped-off and a vigorous green lightning flame appeared. He charged at Ichigo with full force. "Gah! Don't drag me into this dude!"
"Ughh! What the heck?! My head is getting itchy! Oh fuck! A SPRING CAME OUT OF MY HEAD!" Hibiki freaked out and fretted over his head.
"AHHHH! MINE TOO!" Takao also fretted over his head.
"HELP! MY HEAD BECAME BIGGER!" Akihisa became a human-sized bobble head and he waddled from side to side.
"Yuki Kaai must be alone… I need to go back home! *sob* **sob*" Kiyoteru was moping on one corner worrying about her beloved Yuki Kaai. (I made her a little sister… is it okay?)
"I'd probably die a virgin if Lucy keeps on denying sleeping together…" Gray sulked. He sat on the floor with his legs folded to his chest and a depressing aura surrounding him.
"When will I grow taller..?" Toshiro looked at the ceiling with hopeless eyes.
"Hahi… When will my love be found..?!" Haru went to the nearest table and drew broken hearts with her finger.
"Ou! MY HEAD IS EXTREMELY STRONGER!" Ryohei banged his head to the wall non-stop until it cracked and made a hole.
"REBORN! I WILL EAT MORE EGGPLANTS WITH MY DYING WILL!" Gakupo's shirt and pants disintegrated and ran to find eggplants but the door to the exit was sealed. "DORYAAA! –OOF!" someone kicked his crotch hence knocking him unconscious.
"Just what is this?" Hana asked, her brows twitching in irritation. "What's the meaning of this Sawada?... Oi… Sawada?" Hana saw the brunet watching the scene unfold and he was enjoying it. "Sadistic now are we?"
"Ahahaha… I guess Reborn's sadism rubbed on me…"
"Tsuna-kun… I'm kind-of worried for Haru-chan…" The auburn haired girl pointed at the other brunette who was reaching for another gun. "T-Tsuna-kun! Haru-chan is using the other gun!"
"O-Oi! HARU! SNAP OUT OF IT!" 'Now that I remember, I turned down on Haru when she confessed!' Tsuna rushed to Haru's side and tried to prevent Haru from pulling the trigger.
"Haru!" The taller girl also rushed to Haru.
"Haru-chan, stop it!"Kyoko shouted but to no avail.
"Darn it! I won't make it in time!" 'If it weren't for these bruises!'
A blur of silver appeared in front of them. The gun flew away from the eccentric brunette. She fainted right after with Gokudera holding her. Tsuna and the others immediately calmed down after that. "I rejected your confession not just because I have no feelings for you… but your feelings are directed to someone else." Tsuna brushed some of her bangs away from her face. "You just have to figure that out yourself."
"Sa-wa-da-chan~!"
"Oi NAITO LONGCHAMP! How dare you distribute those desolation bullets!" Gokudera growled as he pointed at the said man. Naito Longchamp is a man with a spiked up hair and the eighth generation Tomaso boss-in-training.
"Don't be like that Goku-chan!"
"Goku-chan my ass! What would've happened if Haru died?!"
"Whoa! Peace! Peace! Don't fret about it! Atleast you saved her!"
"Tch. I hate that part of you… always optimistic."
"Maa, maa, how about we leave it at that for awhile? We still have a game to finish!" Yamamoto pacified the two. "Gokudera can watch over Haru and Longchamp can observe." The two nodded… excitedly on Longchamp's side.
"One more round and we'll proceed to dinner!" Tsuna announced. "Start!"
They spun the cylinder once more. Reborn exited the basement for he had to attend to something. "Stop!" With a little more confidence they shot the gun straight into the head of the person in front of them. Lucky ones didn't receive a bullet.
"I really don't want to be a sky attribute anymore… I'm actually with the lightning group… I just didn't want a child as my element leader. I just wanted to be special to match my elite status… I don't want to be sky with Tsuna as my element leader… That's even worse compared to the child… the arc was broken to begin with… that small fat guy in black told me before entering that's why I know…" Nezu sulked in the middle of the circle.
"YES! I WAS RIGHT! NEZU REALLY IS NOT WITH MY ATTRIBUTE! TAKE THAT LAL! –OW!" Tsuna was hit by Kurokawa Hana. "What was that for?!"
"You're noisy. Anymore questions?" Tsuna shook his head. "Good."
"Wow… they everyone is lucky except for Nezu-sensei in this round." Kyoko mused. "Now that everything is finished… Minna! Let's go and eat dinner!"
"Now that I think about it… Oi Longchamp… the desolation bullet seems to be intense than the usual… did you modify it or something?" Yamamoto asks.
"Ah! It's a new product of the Tomaso Familgia! The Ultimate Desolation Bullet!" The eccentric one announced. "It give out the darkest part of you that makes you and the others around you feel terribly sorry! But there was only one ultimate bullet though… I'm actually surprised that Haru-chan was the one who received that bullet. But on the other side, who wants to see my new girlfriend! Her name is Elizabeth! Come with me! I'll introduce her to you!"
"We would rather pass." Everyone spoke in unison.
"Ehh~? Why?"
"It's dinner already. Give them a break." The tall girl explained.
"Alright then… I'll introduce her tomorrow!" Longchamp says as he waves and walks away from them.
"Now that THAT is over, let's eat!"
And so they went to the dining room and ate their dinner. Tomorrow is the start of the intense training.
~o0o0o0o0o0o0o~
OMAKE!
TSUNA IN BOXERS!
It was a fine day and Tsuna was in his office signing away papers. He stops from time to time and glances at the grandfather clock. 'It's going to be a long day…'
Somebody rudely barges in. "Tsunayoshi-kun!"
"HIIEEEE!" The brunet shrieked and the paperworks scattered in the air. "AHH! My paperwork!"
"T-Tsunayoshi-kun…"
"Reborn is definitely going to kill me!"
"Tsunayoshi-kun~…"
"I won't make it by deadline! AH~~! More bruises for me!"
"Tsunayoshi-kun!"
"Yes!" The brunet straightened up. "Oh… It's just you Shouichi-kun… What brings you here?"
Shouichi coughed into his hand before showing something. A small box… a box weapon to be exact. "I'm really sorry for what I'm going to do to you… but this is Reborn's order so…" He lit hid ring and opened the box weapon. A bunch of alligators appeared and started charging the brunet.
"HIEE! Shouichi-kun! What's with the alligators?!"
"Reborn said that you lack alertness so he asked *Cough*threatened*Cough* me to attack you with alligators. I'm really sorry Tsunayoshi-kun but he also said that you should use your bare hands in fighting them."
"WHY?!"
"He said that it would be interesting."
"NOOOOO!"
Tsuna ran outside with the alligators hot on his trail. 'Alligators aren't THIS fast!' "SOMEBODY HELP ME!" He ran until he reached the basement to were Reborn shot him a Dying Will bullet.
"REBORNN! I'LL FIGHT THE ALLIGATOR WITH MY DYING WILL!" Tsuna's high-class suit were ripped-apart leaving only his boxers and showed his well-toned body.
Moments later…
The alligators melted and returned to their boxes. Tsuna was more that exhausted and Yamamoto's group entered.
"KYAAAA!" All the females squealed at Tsuna's appearance. His black boxer + sweaty well-toned body + slightly amber eyes = Pure hotness.
OMAKE
END
Hahaha! And so another chapter is finished! To be honest, I never intended Nezu to be a sky element. It's just for the essence of messing with you guys! XD
