Chapter 7: The Promised Fight
xxXXxx
"Natsu! Cambio forma!"
"GAO!"
"Gauge Symmetrical! Launch on standby!"
"X-BURNER!"
That was the moment that everything in the Vongola HQ felt like it was hit by a massive earthquake. Maybe it was luck but, the stack of white in a certain someone's office remained… well, white. To be frank, despite the intensity of those flames, that stack of white proudly stayed in their places and not scattered, not a burn to be seen as well. Tsuna got out of his HDWM and stared disbelievingly at the papers. His face turned into a 'WTF' look as he walked to the stacks, and observed to how on earth these papers survived his flames when his office was nearly reduced to charcoals… and himself at that.
It wasn't long enough before his two best friends came barging at his door—knocking it out of its hinges. A sigh escaped the brunet's mouth 'Yay… more paperworks for me…' He sarcastically thought.
"Juudaime! Are you alright?!" His right-hand man dashed to Tsuna's side.
"Tsuna! What happened here?!" Yamamoto followed in suit.
They tended to their boss. Gokudera fretted over his boss if he was hurt, injured or anything anywhere. The brunet would just wave it off, saying that it was just a prank pulled by someone. Hearing that just made his right-hand man enraged. Gokudera ranted non-stop, trying to conceive a plan of catching that 'fucking prankster'. Tsuna merely sweat-dropped 'I can't tell him the truth now can I..?'
"Oi Tsuna. You look kind-of burnt… are you alright..?" The baseball player pressed a finger to Tsuna's burn mark on his forearm, making the latter hiss. "Ahahaha… so sorry about that…" He sheepishly smiled.
"WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU JUST DO BASEBALL-FREAK!? DID YOU KNOW THAT YOU JUST HURT JUUDAIME?!" His Storm guardian yelled. His hands were twitching to reach for his dynamites.
"Maa, maa… I did say I'm sorry."
"DON'T MAA, MAA ME (YAA! XD—please ignore this…;P)! YOU HURT JUUDAIME!"
"It's alright. Gokudera-kun, Yamamoto. It's my fault for falling for it anyways." The brunet interjected before it turns to another one-sided argument. "You shouldn't worry too much. It's just a small burn, it can heal." Decimo excused himself; leaving the two alone… in a burned room… with stacks of paper… towering them… like it will fall—
"AHHHH!"
The room turned into a sea of papers… They should better prepare for paper-cuts.
Tsuna walked to the hall where the nearest infirmary was found. Unfortunately, the nearest infirmary to Tsuna's office was at the east wing which was demolished for a reason nobody told him. He sighed and took of his glasses. He petted his lion, Natsu, who licked his master at appreciation.
It wasn't that long but he got lost. He didn't want to admit it but he's lost. Tsuna had been to the HQ many times now and he still managed to get lost. His Hyper Intuition should've said something if he was getting lost 'I guess it only works when it's danger…' He thought, sighing once again. Well who wouldn't? The HQ is FREAKIN' huge!
The brunet looked to the side… and it was a door. A door that gave some sort of tempt, saying 'Open me~!', Decimo swallowed a lump and hesitantly reached for handle.
"—NO!"
The door burst open, causing one of the doors to slam on Tsuna's face.
"LET GO! I DON'T WANT TO DIE! SOMEBODY!"
'That voice… it sounds familiar…'
The brunet slid out of the door, with his face having the same print as the door… cloud. He soothingly rubbed his face for comfort. The door suddenly flew to his direction.
"HIIE—UGH!" The door hit his face for the second time.
"Kamikoro—!" The same door that hit Tsuna went flying to his direction. Hibari managed to break it with his tonfa. His eyes glanced to one side and smirked. The omnivore is red… well red as in because of the door hitting him twice, and he was glaring—pouting at him. "Don't disturb me."
"Hibari…san… could you—why are you…maybe… nevermind…" Tsuna scratched his head and walked ahead of them. Hibari though, caught the burns found on Tsuna's body. The prefect smirked once more. Omnivore was going to ask for directions. "Herbivore"
Tsuna perked and turned around. Did he hear what Hibari just said? "Hibari-san you said I'm promoted to Omnivore!" He shouted. He glared—well, tried to glare but his huge brown, porcelain, chocolate eyes were really not helping.
The prefect raised a brow "I'm not referring to you."
"Eh?" The brunet stupidly answered. That was when he just saw other people, who were known to be one of the unlucky fellows, since they got into a group where they coincidentally have the same attribute as Hibari-san. Tsuna slapped his face, only to hiss and realize that he hasn't covered his burns with some bandages. 'I'm so stupid…' He thought.
Hibari sighed and pulled his boss inside the cloud room, with his charges tailing behind.
The cloud room looked like it was hit by a devastating storm. Dents everywhere, trails of dried-up blood, cracks on the wall, and it practically says 'pay for my repairs' and '*evil laugh* Paperworks~!'
Tsuna swallowed a lump and slowly paled, but that immediately slipped his mind when his Cloud guardian continued to drag him to an extension of the room. As they entered, the brunet found himself in a Japanese styled room.
Hibari went-off to somewhere.
Decimo looked around the room, and then his eyes landed on four pairs of curious eyes. He sweat dropped.
"A…Ano… do you need something..?"
They continued to stare, plus you could hear them say 'Geeee~~' as they did that. Cue more sweat-drops.
"Hello..?"
… Still staring…
The brunet sighed. He just went to the nearest seat and sat there… of course. He decided to ignore it and played with his little lion, Natsu. The sky lion may be a lion but many have mistaken it as a cat with lion-like features. Tsuna made it dance playfully and the lion liked it, and purred.
A few minutes had passed and Hibari showed up with a medical aid. The Cloud guardian applied some bandages over the brunet's face and forearms. Tsuna hissed and winced a little but managed to hold it in.
"Are you an idiot?" Hibari asked as he continued to wrap bandages over the brunet.
Tsuna flinched when alcohol was applied "I-I am not an idiot!" he stuttered.
"Then stop stuttering."
"I don't!—OW!"
Hibari smirked as he continued to place the bandages over his boss' burns. Tsuna kept on hissing as Hibari placed those bandages roughly as if he was doing it on purpose.
All of a sudden, Tsuna felt goose bumps.
"Kufufu, oya, oya, Skylark-kun is treating Tsunayoshi-kun." Mukuro appeared within the mist he created. The pineapple head saw the brunet covered with bandages and burn marks on his clothes, "Oya, Tsunayoshi-kun… you're burnt… Do you want me to treat your wounds?"
The brunet quickly backed away from Mukuro "Mu-Mukuro… I'm much better now so I don't need any more treatments… so…" He turned his head to the nearest exit "Igottagonowbye!" he ran away.
"Your Dokuro disease is gone?"
"Kufufu, nice to know you noticed, Skylark-kun."
"MUKUROOO!"
"Hm..?—OOF!" a brunet in bandages landed on the pineapple head. "Why? How? WHEN?!" The brunet grabbed Mukuro's collar.
"Kufufu… It's an interesting story actually…"
~FLASHBACK~
"Kufufu, I've finally found you Shamal…"
"I only treat women!" The doctor immediately replied. He was sitting comfortably on one of the bed. Shamal had his eyes glued to his porno magazine. He cooed and disgustingly kissed the magazine when he found a girl of his type.
Gross marks appeared on Mukuro's face, "You're disgusting."
"I don't care."
With a sigh, the pineapple head tapped his trident to the floor. Shamal tilted his head up, he saw paradise as his eyes lit up. Right after that, the said paradise disappeared, "What was that..?" The doctor asked.
"Kufufu, those, my friend, are my illusions."
"Show it to me again!" Shamal demanded.
"Give me the cu—
"So embarrassing~! Your hairstyle is a form of bed hair!"
Shamal raised a brow, "You don't fix your hair in the morning?"
"Just give me the cure!"
The doctor smirked, "It's a deal!" He tossed a capsule in the air and a trident mosquito popped out. The mosquito went to Mukuro and bit him. Moments later, his Dokuro Disease was gone. "Now hurry and do those illusions again!"
"Fine, but this will last only for a day…"
"Just do it!" The doctor ordered.
The pineapple head sighed, "Your perverted-ness should really have a limit…" With that he tapped his trident and the illusions appeared again. They were the girls in the magazine Shamal was looking at.
~FLASHBACK END~
"…and that's how I got cured…"
"Gross…" Tsuna muttered. He stood up and walked away from Mukuro. When he was about to go out, a tonfa flew just beside him and stuck at the wall. The brunet turned in a robotic manner. He saw his cloud guardian brandishing the other tonfa, "You owe me two." He stated.
"I… owe you… two..? How come..?" The brunet confusingly asked.
"First, I treated your burns. Second…"
~YET ANOTHER FLASHBACK~
While they were creating a scene, a certain prefect walked in with a dark aura surrounding him. As he entered, the class temperature dramatically dropped. They suddenly shut up when Hibari slammed the door open. The crowd noticed a rolled something.
"Herbivores…" The prefect muttered.
The crowd flinched. "I will bite all of you to death." Hibari took one of his tonfas and started to strike at the poor souls. Yamamoto quickly stepped in front and blocked it with his shinai.
"Hibari, how about you calm down first before doing that?"
"Hn." Hibari replied then unrolled the magazine. It showed an 1827 doujinshi a YAOI doujinshi to be exact. (I do not own this one) The doujinshi was titled 'Ichigo Milk' Yamamoto grabbed the doujinshi and read it. After a few flicks of pages he immediately closed it, he did not see that coming.
"T-T-T-T-Tsuna… c-c-could y-you come here..?" The baseball player stuttered out. Tsuna was sure that Yamamoto's brows were twitching and had a light blush.
"What is it Yamamoto?" Tsuna asks, walking near him. Yamamoto just showed a page of the doujinshi to make him realize what his Rain guardian was trying to say. Tsuna grabbed the doujin and stared at it with denial. "Who… who made this..?" He stammered.
"WHO MADE THIS?!" He demanded. He showed a page of it… He was replied by loud 'KYA's
"SHUT UP YOU STUPID WOMEN! THE TENTH IS ASKING YOU A QUESTION! ANSWER HIM!" Gokudera yelled.
Someone stepped in front and it was Yamamoto Kana and Saki Otoh (They are the mangakas of the doujin… I'm not sure though… is it correct?)
"I didn't think that this would reach even the prefect…" Kana said.
"Maa! Even so, they love it!" Saki squealed. "Minna! We are so glad that you like our creation! KKYAAAA 1827 forever!"
"Why is this happening?! – WAIT! What does 1827 even mean?!" The brunet shouted. He felt a more intense aura. "HIIEEEE! H-H-Hibari-san, please calm down! Don't bite them to death! I KNOW! FIGHT ME INSTEAD!" 'WHAT THE HELL AM I SAYING?!' "I'M SURE YOU'D LIKE THAT! WE'LL BE OUT AFTER NOON SO IT'S A MATCH WHEN WE GET TO THAT PLACE!" 'WHY AM I DOING THIS?' Tsuna stood still for awhile, his eyes were whirling as he stared at the prefect.
SUCCESS!
Hibari gave a curt nod before hiding his tonfa. "If ever I see more of those things, I will bite you to death." He stated before leaving the room.
-Tribute to teachers: Chapter 13-
~FLASHBACK END~
Tsuna had a stupid look on his face, 'I said that..?' He thought. 'Well if you did think about it… I was in a desperate situation that time…' He gave a deep breath out. "Ahahaha… I forgot about that…" The brunet sheepishly said, scratching the back of his head… like Yamamoto.
"Fight me. Now." Hibari lunged forward, aiming at Tsuna's abdomen.
The brunet dodged, "W-Wait! Don't you—" he ducked. Tsuna gazed at the other cloud attributed students, they have a somehow sad look, "Don't you have students to take care of?!"
"Herbivores aren't worth my time." The prefect simply replied. He managed to kick the brunet to the other room.
Tsuna grasped his stomach and coughed. He didn't see that coming, the way Hibari just said it really caught him off-guard. The brunet shakily stood up, eyes disbelievingly staring at the prefect, "Hibari-san… no… Kyoya, I trusted you that you'd do your job…"
"I do not waste my time with herbivores." And the fight starts again. Hibari was relentless with his attacks and Tsuna wasn't backing down either. Hibari's charges watched in awe. Seeing Tsuna fight up close with the feared prefect was somehow breath-taking. Each of Hibari's attacks were either dodged by a breath's width or blocked with only feeling a little pressure. One thing noticeable was… Tsuna, he was only dodging and blocking. He didn't give any punch or kick, just dodge and block.
Right after the day Tsuna and his guardians finished teaching, new found respect was given to them. The brunet was seen in a better light and thanks to that people worshipped him practically like a god or something. To be honest, some of the women planned on seducing him for money. The four cloud attributed students continued to watch, with their mouths gaping. Watching the two fight felt motivating and makes you itch to do more.
That was until a trident slashed its way in between. The prefect stopped and glared at the owner of the trident, Tsuna gave a sigh of relief.
"Kufufu, it's not fair, placing me out of the fight." Mukuro pouted. "Mukuro, you do know that…" Tsuna found at the corner of his eyes, Mist attributed students watching behind the scene. The brunet exasperatedly slapped his face, "… you also have your own responsibility…"
"It's not my fault Tsunayoshi-kun, they're too incompetent to learn how to use mist flames." The pineapple head simply said.
Tsuna could feel that the mist users watching looked down on themselves. "Mukuro, Kyoya… why are you two acting like this..?"
The two didn't reply and they attacked. Hibari and Mukuro were in perfect sync. The pineapple head threw illusions of themselves to the brunet as Hibari lunged himself to attack and go back to the rest of the group, which felt weird since, well… hello? He's fighting together with Mukuro, and to top it off, The Hibari Kyoya was going inside the crowding illusions which MUKURO made!
Tsuna had to draw the line. He sighed 'I guess avoiding paperwork is impossible with these bunches around…' Then he entered Hyper Dying Will Mode. It was his turn to be relentless. He threw punches at anything incoming his way. Thanks to his Hyper Intuition, he knew where the real Hibari was and where was the real Mukuro. He spewed flames at their directions.
The prefect and the pineapple head dodged, and the flames went to the spectators.
"I'm burning! I'm burning! I'm burning! I'm burning! I'm burning~!"
"HELP!"
"NOOO!—Oh…It's not hot…"
"Of course it's not hot." Tsuna started, "I didn't use the hard flames… Actually, flames have different uses and that applies to each attributes." That was when Tsuna inwardly realized what his two guardians were trying to tell their charges.
The brunet thrust himself forward and punched Mukuro on the stomach.
Mukuro kneeled on one knee, "Tsunayoshi-kun… you're being serious now… am I right..?"
"Ah… and I by the time I finish you two, I expect better performance from your group. Do I make myself clear?"
The pineapple head winced before nodding, "You got yourself a deal." Right after that, he fainted…
'As expected … Illusionists are weak against physical attacks…' Tsuna mentally said.
Feeling a presence from behind, Tsuna ducked and kicked from behind. He felt his foot meet with metal. Hibari, he thought. The brunet twisted himself and met face to face with the prefect. Both were unfazed by each other's gaze. The two leapt away from each other and lit their flames.
Cloud flames covered Hibari's tonfas as hard sky flames covered Tsuna's upgraded gloves.
They dashed each other, "Flames are manipulated by your resolution!" Tsuna stated as he landed a fist of Hibari's tonfa. He flipped and kicked, sending one tonfa flying away, "Rule number one, no one is good at first!"
The spectators widened their eyes in realization.
Tsuna did an acrobatic flip in the sky and landed an ankle on the prefect's shoulder, "Rule number two! Flames of your attributes can only do as to your will!"
"…And number three!" He kicked Hibari from behind, causing him to fall on his knees, "DO EVERYTHING WITH YOUR DYING WILL!"
The flames of determination burned within the spectators. 'Do everything with your dying will…' Sounded so motivating. They found themselves itching to practice harder, and shoved aside the fact that they might be either 'bitten to death' or 'have nightmares forever'.
They suddenly froze on their spot.
"A…ano, Sawada-s-s-san… what are you doing to them..?" Shizuku hesitantly asked. "And more importantly… where did you get the rope and cuffs..?"
Tsuna returned to normal and innocently looks at Shizuku, who suddenly felt the shivers down her spine, "I'm really pissed-off right now, so I was just releasing my frustration on them…"
The cloud group and mist group went around the brunet.
"Tsunayoshi-san! We've decided that we'll do our best!" Kouga of the mist group enthusiastically announced.
"Yes!" Interrupted Kaito, "Even though, we'll forever have nightmares!"
Tsuna smiled happily, "That's good to hear." His eyes trailed to Osamu, who looked like a stomped insect. "How about you… Osamu-kun, what happened to you..?"
"It's just that… I don't want to be bitten to death everyday…"
"Don't be ridiculous! Four people in a group aren't really much of a crowd and to top it off, you only got bitten to death because you're too bratty and annoying." Said the pissed off brunet.
Osamu flinched at the selection of words, "You… you have a grudge against me do you..?"
Tsuna smiled sickeningly, "Not really, it's just that your choice of words make you sound so spoiled…"
Osamu's fellow cloud group whispered something to him and pointed at the door. It was Enma with a concerned look on his face.
"Now that I think about it, Kyoya's group has the most annoying members around and by annoying members, I mean you." The brunet said as he tied his two unconscious guardians. "Hm, hm… You don't want to be bitten to death every day? You make me laugh… I've been bitten to death by Kyoya when there was an opportunity—Scratch that, I've been bitten to death before I became Decimo, and that was the time I was Dame-Tsuna. And did you know that ever since I accepted the title I've seen many things you never knew… Keh. I hate spoiled people like you. Maybe I should—"
"Hold it right there Tsuna!" Enma interrupted. The red head had a scared look written all over his face, he glanced at Osamu and the rest who were sweating buckets. "Ahahaha… don't mind that Osamu-kun! Tsuna-kun over here is just having a cool down with the use of words! Don't let it through you okay?"
Osamu was on the verge of fainting. He was literally petrified.
"Tsuna-kun only acts like this way when far beyond pissed. And I can see why…" Enma sweat-dropped at the damages done, "Remember this, the life of a boss is hard."
"OH MY F***** G***! OSAMU DID YOU JUST WET YOURSELF?!" Hibiki exclaimed.
"Eww! that's gross man!" Ichigo commented.
"You're far more worse than me!" Kaito added.
Enma saw Tsuna smirk in victory as he dragged his two guardians out of the area. A dark shadow cast over Enma's eyes, 'Tsuna-kun… you really did have a grudge on him!' he mentally shouted.
~TO BE CONTINUED~
~OMAKE 1!~
-SWEET AND STUPID: GOKUDERA'S CASE!-
A certain silverette was walking along the hallway. He had a bundle on dandelions behind his back. He was getting nervous with each step he took. 'There it is!' He thought.
There was the door to a certain eccentric brunette.
He knocked on it lightly and the said girl opened it immediately, as if expecting it, "Ah! Gokudera-san! You came!"
"I'm actually on a tight schedule so here!" He shoved the dandelions on Haru's face.
"Uwah~~! It has a nice scent desu! What flower is this..?" She asked.
"It's dandelions!"
"Hahi! Haru is…"
"What is?!"
"HARU IS ALLERGIC TO DANDELIONS DE—CHU!"
For some reason, the way Haru sneezed had a great impact on Gokudera, "Do that again!"
"Hahi?!"
-SWEET AND STUPID: TSUNA'S CASE!-
Tsuna had finally calmed down but his stacks aren't. By the time he got back to his office, his papers were somehow messily piled together and they weren't organized anymore.
There were new stacks coming his way too. If possible he would've burned it but, for a reason that maybe Reborn knows, he can't. He sighed, tired for today's events. 'I could really use something energizing…'
On cue, Kyoko appeared, holding two cups, "Tsuna-kun, do you want some drink?" She offered. Tsuna nodded almost immediately and grabbed one of the cups and gave a sip.
He smugly smiled, "Kyoko's espressos are the best~… but why does it taste like chocolate..?"
Kyoko awkwardly chuckled, "Tsuna-kun… this one is the espresso…" She held up the other cup, "…That one is my hot chocolate…"
Tsuna hit his head on the desk, "I'm so stupid…"
~OMAKE 2!~
-HIBARI AND MUKURO-
The pissed off Tsuna dragged the two to the darkest corner of the HQ. He cuffed the two to a chair and tightened the rope as possible. The brunet set a huge TV in front of them and played a CD.
…It was a marathon of Barney and friends, Barbie and every possible princess movies.
Tsuna set the volume as high as possible and left the two. "That's for not doing your job." He muttered as he closed the sound proof room. After he got out, his intuition told him that the two were already shouting and were forcing themselves to get out of those cuffs. The brunet stretched and yawned "Hah~~ I feel relaxed already…" The brunet smugly said and left forcefully watching the marathon.
Three hours have passed and Tsuna decided to let them off the hook. A sudden idea popped in his mind. He got his camera and went back to the sound proof room.
Tsuna laughed out loud at their faces. Foams were coming out of their mouths and their eyes were literally crying out blood… was that too much for them? Tsuna didn't mind and snapped pictures for future threats…
~OMAKE~
