Author's Note: Here's the next chapter there's some MukuroXoc in this one and the next chapter.
Disclaimer: I do not own Katekyo Hitman Reborn.
I wake up the next morning hoping that Onii-san is back. I didn't have a restful sleep due to my worrying. I realize that if something like this continues, I'll catch a cold. After changing into some random comfortable clothing, I get my naginata and start to walk to Sawada's house.
When I get to the Sawada residence, people are already crowding the surrounding area. "Good morning," I say as I move around 6 feet away from the crowd.
"Minako-chan, why are you standing there?" asks Sawada.
"I can easily hit anything within a 5 foot radius. If I stand here, this…crowd is out of range," I reply.
"Eh?" asks Sawada.
"I dislike crowds like Onii-san…using a naginata allows me to have space even while fighting," I reply.
"Alright, you're all here. Let's go beat Mukuro," says the baby.
After the lock is somehow melted by Sakura Mochi, I head off on my own. I decide to jump from branch to branch in the dense forest-like terrain rather than following the road. From what I heard, their main target is Sawada, so if I travel separately from them, I have less of a chance of getting attacked. I find a taller tree and climb to the top. Hmm, captives should be with or by the leader. Leaders usually stay inside. That means the main building is my target.
While I jump from one branch to another, I see a blue-haired person in a Kokuyo uniform walking towards Sawada. Finding this person and his actions intriguing, I backtrack and follow him.
"You must have come here to save us. Thank you very much. I thought that I would never be able to get away from this place," he says to Sawada. Suspicious…
"Are you a hostage too?" asks Sawada.
"Coming all this way to save me…" he mutters.
"E-Eh, well…" stutters Sawada.
"You must have very strong friends," he comments, smiling.
"Well, there's a woman and a baby too," says Sawada, scratching the back of his head. Bad move, Sawada.
"A baby? In a dangerous place like this?" he asks.
"He's kinda special…" replies Sawada.
"Ehh…? Is he really strong when he fights?" he asks, still smiling. He's looking for information…For what reason though…?
"Of course not, a baby's not going to fight," replies Sawada, waving his hands. Then he mutters, "Well, who knows how easy this would be if he actually fought…" I resist the urge to let out an exasperated sigh. The blue-haired guy smiles, I'm guessing that he has the information that he was looking for now.
"He must do something indirectly," he guesses. Huh? He wants more information?
"I can't go into details…" replies Sawada.
"Why not?" he asks, his voice suddenly turning serious.
"Oh yeah! There's a Nami-Middle student named Hibari-san here…" starts Sawada. Now, this really catches my interest.
Unfortunately for me, he cuts off Sawada with the serious tone, "I'm the one asking the questions."
"Huh?" asks a bewildered Sawada.
"What does the baby indirectly do?" he presses.
"Your eye!" shouts Sawada, backing up as the blue-haired guy walks towards him. "Oh yeah! We got separated…I need to get back to them! I'll come back with my friends! See you later!" adds Sawada, running off, clearly panicked. I continue to watch as the blue-haired guy frowns and then starts to chuckle. Then, he covers his right eye with his hair again.
I jump off the branch, landing with a soft thud. Needless to say, he's already looking my direction. "You're hiding something about your right eye," I say matter-of-factly. I walk over to him and brush his hair aside. Hm, so I was right. Something about this strange red eye must make him easily identified. Suddenly, he leans forward and kisses me. Reacting automatically, I kick him. It misses. Shoot, he's fast.
"Mukuro-sama, why did you do that…?" asks a male with glasses.
"It's very unfortunate that I don't have time to spare today. Chickusa, did you bring it?" he says.
"Yes, Mukuro-sama," replies the male with glasses, passing him the…cherry blossoms…? Suddenly, I feel a wave of nausea and everything starts to tilt at a 45° angle to the left and then the right. I feel my consciousness start slipping away and the last thing I feel is my body collapsing on the grass.
