Rescue

"Che," Hayato scoffed. Beads of sweat rolled down his face as he grimaced. It hurt to move his right leg; it had been clipped after by one of the needles. The ground was littered with his unlit dynamite, the fuses having been cut by the yoyo's wire.

"Troublesome," the teen muttered.

That should be Hayato's word!

The red yoyo's came flying at Hayato. He forced himself to move, rolling away as they smashed into the ground. His arms came up, ready to block the barrage of needles that the yoyos would unleash.

It never came.

Instead, a large black wolf leapt the teenager, distracting him. It passed through him, an illusion, but it was enough a distraction. A flash of orange was the only warning the teenager got before Tsuna came barreling out of nowhere, punching the teen in the stomach and sending him flying.

"Hayato!" Tsuna said, glancing back at his friend. His Dying Will Flames were lit, dancing on his forehead and fists. Reborn, sitting on Tsuna's shoulder, watched for the sign of the Kokuyo kid. Leon in gun form, aimed toward the yoyo user.

"Are you alright?" Chrome asked, helping Hayato up.

Hayato on the other hand, gaped. He gestured to the black wolf that dissipated into a burst of indigo colored flames and asked, "Is that Mist Flames?"

Chrome interlaced her fingers together, fretting. "Yes?" she said timidly.

"Does everyone, but me know how to use Dying Will Flames?" Hayato shouted.

Chrome bit her lip, hesitating. "I don't think Miura-san knows how?"

"That doesn't make me feel better!" Hayato snapped. He lamented over the fact that everyone, including turf-top head and the baseball idiot knew how to use Flames. Why hadn't anyone told him before? The gap between them just continued to grow wider and wider and Hayato feared they were going to leave him behind.

"More people," the teenager said, causing everyone to focus back on him.

"Kakimoto Chikusa," Tsuna said, pinning the yoyo user with his orange tinted eyes.

"Oh? You know who I am?" Chikusa said.

"You, Joshima Ken, and Rokudo Mukuro escaped from the Vindice and their inescapable prison, Vendicare," Tsuna said.

"And you are Vongola Decimo," Chikusa said.

Tsuna shook his head. "No. I'm afraid you're mixing me up with the real candidate." He settled into a readied stand, orange flames flickering brighter. "But you will face me if you attack my friends again."

Chikusa stared calmly at him; his face not betraying a single emotion. He seemed to have come to a decision. "I will retreat. My orders were not to fight against Vongola Decimo. Mukuro-sama will be the one to face you."

He darted away, turning the corner and vanishing from sight.

"Did Ayame tell you about him?" Reborn asked Tsuna, once he was sure that Chikusa wasn't going to come back.

Tsuna nodded. "She mentioned that Rokudo Mukuro had escaped from the Vindice. I took the information, but didn't know why she was giving it to me. But that's Neesan's paranoia for you. If there was even the slightest chance of them showing up in Namimori, she would have passed that information along."

Reborn scoffed. "She couldn't pass the information to me?"

Tsuna shrugged. "I don't always understand why Neesan does what she does." He looked over to Hayato and Chrome. "We have to find Hana. I still have this bad feeling."

Hayato and Chrome nodded in understanding and four of them took off in search of Hana.

Earthquake

"Kong Channel!"

Hana parried the swinging fists with her naginata. She slashed downward, her Storm Flames carving out a deep trench in the ground. "Hajikeru Honoo!"

Her opponent jumped out of the way, switching to another set of teeth to dart away to safety. "Wolf Channel!" He looked at the razed ground. "You're pretty good, I'll admit."

"Joshima Ken," Hana said. Age 14. Your abilities change based off the teeth you have and it's been recorded that you have at least seven different types of teeth. You're also a Locked Sun Flame user."

Ken let out a low whistle. "Someone has done her research."

"In this town, it's be aware of the dangers or get swept away," Hana said, eyes narrowed. She widened her stance. "I know this much. Your Kong Channel is nothing against Ryohei's punches or even Kyoya's overwhelming power."

Ken snarled. "We'll see about that!" He burst toward her, slashing at her with his claws.

Hana spun her naginata, defending against them. The sound of sharpened claws hitting against the metal pole of the naginata filled the air. Pushing forward, she knocked him off balance, twisting her naginata into a single jab forward. Her blade pierced Ken's left shoulder.

Unwilling to let the opportunity to go, Ken grit through the pain and grabbed hold of the naginata, holding it in place. He swung his claws down towards Hana's now unprotected right side. The attack would have connected if there wasn't a flare of Storm Flames.

Ken jumped back, howling in pain as the Storm Flames engulfed his hand, disintegrating his skin. It blistered and boiled, burning as it ate away at the skin. "You bitch," he swore.

"Beni Arashi Koromo," Hana said as Storm Flames flickered around her, much like a grand red cape. "As if I would leave myself defenseless like that."

"Cheetah Channel!" Ken shouted, jumping towards her at an even greater speed than before.

He didn't get very far before a wall of dirt and rock rose from the ground before him, slamming straight into it.

Dazed, and blood dripping from his head and mouth, Ken stared at the wall. "That's not something Storm Flames can do," he said.

"Doryuuheki," Hana said from the other side of the wall, tapping the ground with her naginata. She didn't want to have to reveal that trick, but that idiot's speed was going to be an issue. Hana was not the faster of the group. In fact, her relatively low pain threshold made close combat tricky and she knew, fundamentally, eight of ten times, she would always be the first to fall in any battle, especially without backup.

It would be her best bet to retreat now and warn Tsuna and the others. Or if she could at least make it the last couple blocks to Kyoko and Ryohei's house.

The sound of chains clinking was her own only warring as she turned to see a large metal sphere headed straight at her. It sent her flying into her earth wall, punching through it like paper. She rolled on the ground, some distance away and kicking up a cloud of dirt as she slid to a stop. Her naginata vanished, shattering into pieces.

She stared, vision blurring at a tall man with spiky black hair and two black spike tattoos on his cheek. He whirled the large metal ball, spinning it faster and faster, before launching it up into the sky. Hana struggled to move, seeing the dark shadow of the ball appear above her. At that height and weight, the ball would kill her.

As her body failed to respond, she watched in growing horror as the heavy sphere fell from the sky. Hana clenched her teeth as another wave of pain rocked her senses. 'I guess this is it,' she thought, vision growing dark. 'Sorry guys.'

Broken Cup

-In the Spirit World-

"Shit!"

Ugetsu looked up to see G's front was now drenched; the pieces of his cup scattered on the ground.

"Did you drop your cup?" the rain guardian asked, mildly. It wouldn't be the first time, but it was rare to do so.

"No!" G said, scowling. "It just shattered in my hand."

From over at the leather couch where he was lounging on, Giotto called out, "Ayame's does that all the time too. Well, not shatter, but it often cracks or splits apart."

"Really?" Ugetsu said. "Why?"

Giotto shrugged. "I asked once. She said broken cups are often a bad omen. Hers tend to break whenever Tsuna gets into trou…" he trailed off looking pale.

G didn't look any better.

"The kids," Giotto and G chorused together.

G cursed, heading straight for the portal. "Oh no they don't. The first time I take on a student in 400 years, if they touch one hair on Hana's head, I will shove a mouthful of storm arrows down their throat," he snarled.

"Wait for us," Giotto and Ugetsu said, following out after him.

Drowned Sorrows

"Omnivore," Koumei said.

Ayame flicked a glance at him. "Koumei-san," she said neutrally.

They stared at each other. "I don't even want to know why you're here, Omnivore" Koumei finally said. If she was here for business, things would go relatively smoothly. If she was here for business, Koumei was better off heading back to the main headquarters and calling his case a lost cause. Koumei didn't even want to be in this thrice damn country.

Ayame snorted and signaled for another drink. "I can't believe your son picked up on your habit of addressing people by their animal kingdom classification," she said. Upon receiving her drink, she swirled the glass, the dark amber liquid spinning.

Koumei took a seat next to her at the bar. "Should I be concerned that you are drinking?"

Ayame mischievously smiled at him. "I meet the legal drinking age here, Koumei-san. Nothing you can arrest me for."

Koumei snorted at that. There was little point in arresting the Omnivore. What was the point if she would walk away free minutes later? Dangerous, dangerous, this young woman next to him. It was an immensely good thing that Koumei was on her good side.

"The Triad?" he asked. It wasn't often they actually met face to face. It would be good to get onto the same page of details of what was going on back in Namimori. Who knew what Kyoya wasn't saying in his phone calls?

"All quiet on their end," Ayame said. "Fon-san's appearance, surprisingly did not rock the waters. Then again, after what Fon-san did for Yun-san, it's no surprise that the Triads are giving him free range to train his apprentice. And if the place they're training just so happen to have his nephew, well. They're observing for now."

Koumei understood that. It was… brilliant and awe-inspiring and very Hibari-like what Fon had done to the Triad to assure Yun's ability to live in Namimori. It was proof that his brother in law had deserved to be one of the I Prescelti Sette. It was a shame that Fon couldn't guarantee her absolute freedom, but both Yun and he had others to think about.

"Do you ever intend to wipe them out? The rest of the Clan is more than willing to help," Koumei stated. His bloodlust leaked into his words. There was nothing more than Koumei wanted to do then to be rid of this particular evil for the grievances against his wife, his son, and his brother-in-law.

"Well, yes. Depends on Vongola's next move, I suppose," Ayame said.

"And what is their next move?" Koumei asked.

"Don't know," Ayame said, draining her glass in a single gulp. "That's the scary part no?"

Converging Attacks

"Maximum Punch!"

Ryohei arrived on the scene, unleashing one of his stronger attacks. The attack was simple in design and theory. Concentrating his Sun Flames, he activated the nerves within his arm, sending his nerves into overdrive, increasing their electrical impulses and thus generating energy. Under normal circumstances, the human body generated roughly 100 millivolts. However, with the Sun Flames' Activation characteristic, it increased by 1000. This increased the generated voltage of the human body to over 100 volts.

Secondly, the boost of speed meant Ryohei was throwing his punches, faster than the speed of sound. The punch created a sonic boom, laced with the excess electricity generated by Ryohei's nerves. A more adept name would probably have been Lightning Punch, but no one ever said Ryohei was accurate with his names.

The force of the collided with the black haired man, knocking him and his steel ball off course. A slip of paper fell out of his pocket. Ryohei rushed over, scooping Hana up and checking over her.

"Monkey Channel!"

Ryohei turned around, readied to attack. The blond haired in the Kokuyo uniform didn't get very far before he intercepted.

"Shajiku no Ame!" Takeshi appeared out of nowhere, charging forward and coated in Rain Flames. He thrust his sword forward, nicking the side of the blond who twisted out of the way just in time.

Meanwhile the black haired one was back on his feet, swinging his steel ball. He launched it at Takeshi. "Senja Reppa."

"Sakamaku Ame," Takeshi shouted, bringing his sword vertically in front of him to defend. His Flames burst into life, creating waves that surrounded Takeshi.

The steel ball crashed into Takeshi. Takeshi held his position, even as he was pushed back by the sheer force of the steel ball. His arms trembled from the shocks, muscle straining.

"Takeshi!"

Tsuna burst onto the scene, ramming into the blond in a trail of orange flames, flinging him at the black haired. Hayato followed suit, throwing bombs at them while Chrome with Reborn on her shoulder ran over to help Ryohei.

Before Hayato's bombs went off, they were intercepted by a pair of red yoyos. The bombs fell to the ground, fuses sliced.

"Not again!" Hayato groaned.

"Joshima Ken," Tsuna mumbled. "And Northern Italy's Strongest Man, Lancia."

"So you know who we are, byon," Ken said.

"The Decimo Candidate," Chikusa said.

Lancia was silent, staring at them with dark eyes.

Before the three could launch another wave of attacks, a dark shadow descended over them.

"I will bite you to death."

The three scattered as Kyoya arrived on the scene, tonfas out, dropping from the building above, like an avenging angel. He swiped at Lancia, pushing the man back several feet.

"We should retreat," Chikusa said. "There are too many of them and Ken is already injured."

His red yoyos flickered into the air, launching over a 1000 needles into the air. Tsuna fired his Flames upward, covering his friends in a dome of orange Flames. The needles collided with the dome, setting off a chain of explosions that rocked Tsuna's shield. Tsuna grit his teeth, holding the Flames up.

Once they stopped, Tsuna let his Flames die away, revealing the three Kokuyo students had disappeared in the confusion.

"Sawada Tsunayoshi," Kyoya growled, turning to look at Tsuna. His eyes narrowed in disdain. "Explain now."

"Hiiieee…"

I apologize the shortness of this chapter. Fight scenes wear me out really fast. But on the bright side, you got a faster update? I fear all of Mukuro Arc chapters will be like this. That may be a good thing. I also apologize if I haven't responded to your review yet. Things have been super crazy over here.

Also if you're interested, I've opened an online store (remove #) seiartsu.#storenvy.#com There is also a giveaway over on my Instagram(seiartsu) and Tumblr (seitsokusha) too.

It's currently not in the plans. Perhaps an Omake one day?
