UNIVERSAL BONDS.
A burst of Sky Flames attacked Giotto right away after he opened the box. His eyes widened abruptly, and he put his hands in front of him, defending himself from the flames.
The animal growled, and pushed with more force. As soon as that happened, he couldn't take it any longer, Giotto was thrown away to the ground, he made a hard impact with the rock.
"Tenth -!"Gokudera shouted for his name in hurry, worry cast on his face. His silver eyebrows furrowed, hands reaching for his dynamites. However, a gun suddenly pointed to him.
It was Reborn's.
"... Kh," Gokudera grumbled. "Reborn-san, what are you doing?"
Yamamoto nodded. "Yeah, kid. Why are you.. Pointing that gun to Gokudera?" His eyes showed uncertainties. "... Tsuna's in trouble, you know."
"And that's why." Reborn said simply. "Watch."
Emerald eyes locked with black beady eyes immediately.
He rested his hands. Looking away, Gokudera closed his eyes. Reborn-san...
On the other side, Giotto fluttered his eyes open, flinching at the pain he felt. Both of his eyes glanced at the animal before him. Many questions linger in his head, why did Na-Tsu suddenly attacked him?
And that's when Na-Tsu attacked again.
Defending himself again, Giotto shouted. "Na-Tsu!" and the said animal kept pushing him down. "Na-Tsu!" Na-Tsu continued doing it. Giotto grumbled, about to use his move, Zero Point Breakthrough when he remembered that the box was in his pocket, reaching for it, he mumbled. "Go back."
Surprisingly enough, after a few moments later, Na-Tsu came back.
His shoulders slumped in relax, tired. That animal, it couldn't possibly sense that I'm not his master, right?
"Tenth!"
"Tsuna!"
"Sawada!"
Gokudera, Yamamoto and Ryohei rushed to his side. They kneeled beside him, as Ryohei pulled out his box weapon and used it to patch up Giotto's injuries. "Are you okay?" Ryohei asked. Giotto only nodded.
"Why the hell did Na-Tsu attacked the Tenth?" Gokudera growled. "It's like before."
"Tsuna, you didn't feel any uncertain feeling when you opened the box, right?" Yamamoto asked.
Uncertain feeling... Did I feel that?
Wait... Yeah, I did.
Giotto looked at the box. "That's why he attacked me, huh.." He whispered, not loud enough for the others to hear. ".. Y-yeah, I think. "
He laughed. "Why do you feel that? It's like usual, right?"
"I don't know.." Giotto chuckled. "Oh, thanks, onii-san." He thanked Ryohei, who had finished patching up his injuries.
"Don't mention it, Sawada!" He cheered. "It's extremely fine!"
Reborn, Chrome and Mukuro, who was left behind there, watched the scene happening before them. As for Hibari, he had walked away since it's way too crowded, he said.
"Kufufu, my dear Chrome, how about we share our thoughts?" Mukuro said.
Chrome was silent, not replying to him.
Reborn was too, his hat blocking the light from the sun to his eyes. "Hmph," Mumbling, he said. "Oi, Mukuro." In response, Mukuro glanced at the baby. "Share your thoughts to me instead,"
Mukuro raised his eyebrow, then rolled his eyes. "Former Sun Arcobaleno, are you thinking that 'that' person is not Tsunayoshi Sawada, afterall?" Reborn only stared. "—So do I, then."
"Either way, tonight, I'll confront him." The baby stated.
"Are you sure?"
"Don't question me."
"Kufufu, I understand."
The rest of the day went faster than they thought, already tired from the trainings, they immediately went to their respective beds.
Hibari and Giotto were silent in their room, not speaking any words to each other. Of course, why would Hibari of all people even start a conversation?
".. Omnivore." Hibari spoke up.
Giotto raised his head, pointing to himself. "Are you referring to me, Hibari-san?"
Hibari twitched his eyebrows in anger, "Of course, idiot. Who else will I refer to?"
Well, you basically call people as herbivore or omnivore...
"S-so, what do you want to talk about, Hibari-san?" Putting his act together, Giotto continued.
"... " Receiving none as a response, Giotto sighed deeply. ".. That box weapon, try to open it again."
"E-eh?" Giotto blinked. "May you repeat it again?"
"Open it again." Hibari repeated. "Don't make me repeat it again."
".. Are you sure?"
"Last time I checked, you opened it perfectly, but you didn't do it well today." His eyes glared at him. "If you fail this once, I will bite you to death, that's all."
Giotto sweat dropped. "Alright.." Looking at his orange boz, he reached over it, and continued to stare at it, gulping down. Why am I'm scared? Why am I'm nervous?
It's only a box weapon.
And it's a friend.
He opened it.
Na-Tsu came out with ease, Giotto wasn't attacked at all. His lips curled up, and realized. Assuring to the animal that it's okay, Na-Tsu hissed at him a little, but walked to his lap anyway.
"It is still acting more distant, but at least, you manage to open it perfectly as usual." The prefect said.
Giotto chuckled. "I agree." Ruffling the animal's fur, he shrugged his shoulders. Little animal, I'm sorry for scaring you. Na-Tsu stared at his eyes, and roared a small meow. Smiling at the antic, Giotto thought. So you did realize that I'm not your master, afterall?
But you continue to accept me?
"Thank you then."
Hibari's steel gray eyes rolled, as his eyebrows narrowed. "Omnivore, you—"
"Ciaossu, Hibari." Reborn interrupted. "Sorry for intruding, but I have business with Dame-Tsuna."
Hibari looked at the baby's eyes, and nodded, walking away from the room. "Make it fast, infant. I want to go to sleep."
Reborn smirked, "Don't worry, it won't be fast."
Hibari twitched.
"Anyway, speaking to the matter, Tsuna." Reborn called.
Giotto looked up at Tsuna's tutor. "Yes, Reborn?"
Reborn smirked. "I know that you're not Tsuna afterall." He said. "Although I do think that your act was promising enough, but it's not enough to trick me, the best hitman in the world."
The man chuckled. "Is that so?"
"The guardians also have realized, bits of bits." Reborn continued. "Their bonds with Tsuna are strong, don't try to underestimate the Vongola's bonds."
Standing up from his seat, Giotto looked down, his bangs covering his eyes. "... Of course." Something wet fell through his eyes. He rubbed it off. "I think I can't do anything now then, since you know already, I might as well tell the truth."
Reborn looked at him as Giotto locked eyes.
"I am Giotto. Vongola Primo."
