Protecting, vice versa
Chapter 6: The 8th and the herb
I'm starting to hate this browser. Always hanging before I even get to save my work. ...Putting that aside, this is the last chapter for the introduction! I'm pretty excited to start the war, so this chapter might be crappy. And short. But please bear with it and see the progression of the last two characters entering~
(Now that I think about it, I haven't even planned on how to start the war. But it'll come to me sooner or later.)
Enjoy!
"Not even a letter to inform me."
A pissed off Vongola Decimo stared at the two students in front of him.
The two students simply nodded slowly, one oblivious to the brunette's rage, the other cowering and shivering in fear of triggering the to-be-mafia-boss' risk.
Three shadowy figures crowd in an unknown place, the same place where Tsuna had talked to both the Shimon family and the pair from the Gesso familglia.
"Now. Explain why. Although I already have an idea on why you have transfered to Namimori High..." The hooded boy smiled, but the sacarstic edge to it meant that if he was displeased or disastified with their answers, they were going to experience the experience of the unlucky people who got a taste of the risk.
Now, on to the earlier part of the day.
Earlier
"Nezu-sensei is still in the hospital, so I'm here to take over your class again." Shizuka-sensei slammed her books, which were originally carried in her hands, onto the teacher's table. The students quickly seized their chattering, and just like what they do everyday, greet the teacher, and proceed to stare at her.
Shizuka-sensei shifted uncomfortably. Then activated her stare, now making all the students tense up in her stead.
Chrome raised her shaking hand hestitantly to ask her question, thus lowering the female teacher's glare so as not to scare the timid purple-haired girl.
"Umm, why is Nezu-sensei in the hospital?"
Shizuka-sensei blinked. "I think it's, stage 3 lung cancer?" the teacher put her index finger on her chin thoughtfully, seemingly showing that she herself was not sure too.
Tsuna smirked. Karma, the brunette imagined a frail and sick man lying on a plain white hospital bed, the one that claimed to be an 'elite'.
"BUT let's not care about that old fart!" Shizuka-sensei proclaimed loudly, extending both of her arms.
The people who were taught under the 'old fart' either sweatdropped or sniggered.
As if confirming something to do with the class, Shizuka-sensei scanned the class with her piercing glare once again. Then she stood up again, back straight, and proclaimed happily and loudly;
"Because the class has a full attendance, for once!"
The class erupted into murmurs. Gokudera, for once looked interested. Yamamoto laughed heartily, and looked around trying to find out the identities of the people who had made their class have a full attendance. Chrome smiled a little, and her expression said that she had found out the people who were present for the first time in the school year. Tsuna lowered his hood, his intuition had long told him who were the two.
"Yahoo! We're finally back!"
"Yes, but where is Sawada-dono?"
Twitch.
"Basil, Naito, I'm here..." the disguised brunette mumbled.
The two mentioned kept spinning around, looking for the source of the sentence Tsuna muttered. It seemed they were unable to find him.
"Forget it, I'll just drive them into the corner and tell them later. At the same time..." fury sparked from the deep grounds of his heart. "...they will have to explain their arrival here..." sadasticness hinted the amber eyes of Neo Vongola Primo.
"Now. Explain why. Although I already have an idea on why you have transfered to Namimori High..." The hooded boy smiled, but the sacarstic edge to it meant that if he was displeased or disastified with their answers, they were going to experience the experience of the unlucky people who got a taste of the risk.
The two looked at each other, first unsure of what to say.
Silence filled the trio for some minutes.
"...I'm still waiting for a response." Tsuna eyed them.
Basil opened his mouth as if wanting to say something, but closed it again.
But Naito just spilled out his thoughts after Basil attempted to.
"Because we needed to protect our dear friend Sawada-chan, Sawada-chan!" Naito grinned, making Tsuna confused with the two 'Sawada-chan's.
Basil gulped, and then opened his mouth yet again. "Yes, Longchamp-dono said what thy wanted to say!"
Tsuna's amber irises stoppped flashing dangerously. The previously raging brunette now held a soft smile to his lips. "That was something I expected you two to say, but that is valid as a reason."
Basil and Naito looked at each other, and beamed.
"Kiyoshi, answer question 6."
"x=32+4y."
Tsuna sat down quietly, ignoring all the murmurs of awe around him. It was thanks to Reborn's teachings that he could become more of an expert at Maths.
Looking over to Hicagen, who was busily copying down notes, he lowered his hood yet again. There was a tug at his intuition, saying that the notes contained plans for some ambush.
Hicagen's POV
I'm sure no one will know what these notes contain, unless a person was the owner of the infamous Hyper Intuition.
These notes are my plans to reveal the identity of Vongola Decimo.
This attack should be made today, at around... 2pm. Then during the chaos, there would be defences of the Vongola which would come, and from there, it will be revealed.
If everything goes well, I might be able to lead an official attack...
Tomorrow.
Back to third person, an hour later.
Hicagen now scanned his high-grade A ranked-assassins.
"You will do the Gole Fenice family proud." he spoke in a slightly accented English.
"Yes sir!"
The group headed out almost faster than the eye could process.
Hicagen scanned his notes, confirming the identities of the two who were experiencing their first day at Namimori High.
Basil, an extremely skilled fighter and is very loyal to Iemitsu who is his master and the head of CEDEF. His weapon is a Metal Edge, a boomerang-shaped weapon made of steel. He may go into Hyper Dying Will mode like the unknown Vongola Decimo.
Naito Longchamp, the 8th boss of the Tomaso familglia. His known guardians are Mangusta, Lunga and Pantera. Lunga's weapon is unknown, Mangusta weapon is the special bullet of the Tomaso familglia, the Desolation Bullet, and Pantera's weapon are bladed pinwheels. Naito's weapon is thus far unknown as well.
"This is hard, a skilled fighter from the CEDEF and the boss of the Tomaso familiglia. But with 30 A-Ranked assassins from the Gole Fenice familglia..." the blonde-haired boy looked up at the sky. "...maybe it is possible."
Tsuna looked at the pen he was currently spinning with his fingers. Everything Shizuka-sensei taught about Maths; he had already known. Now the only things on his mind was his tugging Hyper Intuition; and the spinning pen.
Tug.
Twitch.
Tug.
Twitch.
Tug.
"JUST WHAT IS MY HYPER INTUITION TELLING ME?!" Inner Tsuna screamed.
Boom.
"Oh. So that was what it was telling me." Now Inner Tsuna sighed. Then he screamed again.
"HIIEEEE! More assassins?!"
"Testing, Testing." Came a rough voice from outside. Gokudera frowned; this was not good, getting attacked every single day.
"Vongola Decimo, we have kidnapped the principal..." the rough voice sniggered.
Said brunette's Hyper Intuition was saying that was a lie.
"...and we have 30 assassins here, to ambush the students."
Tug.
That was true.
He gave a signal to Naito and Basil, which only the two of them noticed. They nodded (Naito grinned, that was his way of a nod) and immediately set out.
Hicagen, noticing this, frowned a little. "This means that the Vongola Decimo has no plans on taking action..." he looked aside in deep thoughts.
Tsuna leaned out of the window again, along with other students and the teacher, looking at the two standing in a fighting stance.
"You plan to challenge us?" the front-most assassin smirked. The two simply held a more steady stance, eyebrows slightly furrowed.
Without warning, all the assassins rushed forward faster than the eye could see.
Tsuna gasped a little, then noticed flames coming out from the shoes of the assassins.
"What..." one classmate mumbled. An intensive fight, Tsuna filled in.
"This..." another gaped in awe. Is inhuman, now Gokudera placed his palm on his chin.
"How..." is this possible, Yamamoto grinned from his seat.
"Who..." ever can fight like this is crazy, Chrome tilted her head slightly down.
The fight could not be seen by inexperienced eyes; twirls, sounds of slashes, and the clinking of metal could only be noticed by those not related to the mafia.
However, it all could be seen by the experienced.
On the side of the assassin's boots, flames were being propelled out, in the colour of each assassins' flame type. Whereas for Basil and Naito, they did not have any such propellers, thus it was quite a feat to keep up with the 30 attacking simultanously.
Then flames sprouted from the weapons of the assassins.
Naito and Basil gave a slight frown while spinning to block attacks and Basil activated his own rain flames onto his Metal Edge. Holding out his hand, which middle finger held a ring, he frowned a little in concentration and shouted, "Come out, Alfin!"
After the command, a dolphin surrounded with rain flames appeared beside Basil.
"Lets do this, Alfin!" Basil shouted determinedly, earning a small squeal from the dolphin. The more it squealed, the bigger and more pure the rain flames on Basil's Metal Edge became.
"Super," Basil did a stance as if preparing for a spin. The assassins seemed shocked for a moment the herb did the stance.
"Nova," Now a more steady spinning stance.
"Tsunami!" and he spinned. FAST.
With the enormous amount of rain flames spinning, one could say it looked like a tsunami, wiping everything in it's path.
Naito, looking at Basil's attack, grinned. "Then its my turn!" he shouted, seemingly joyous. The redhead (Naito, not Enma) took out a pouch and digged inside. When his hand emerged, in between two fingers was a coin.
"Lets do this!" he whooped, and a few moments later an orange flame sprouted from the coin itself.
"Sky..." he held a stance, seemingly want to flick the coin.
"Coin!" Yes, he flicked it.
When the coin hit the enemies' weapon, the flames all died down, not a single spark in sight.
"Wha..." the assassin that was in the front, the one that had challenged them, stumbled back a little.
Naito grinned. "Sky Coin isn't really my weapon, its more of my defence." he explained. "Since the Sky Flame's element is harmony, I can bring down whatever flames you throw to me! Because the Sky will," he took out another coin, and it burst with bright Sky Flames again. "extinguish it by easing it!" he threw it again, and all the enemies' flames were wiped out.
Soon, a group of flameless weapons along with their owners were gasping.
But that turned into a smirk.
"Do you think that will stop us?" another smirked. Basil and Naito twitched a little.
"We are assassins. Before flames came out, we," one suddenly disappeared and held Basil in a headlock the next second.
"Were trained to do arm to arm combat!" the one speaking also vanished, and in the next moment pinned Naito to the floor.
"Wha..." the two currently shocked mafiasos gaped, only to be cut off by kicks and punches.
Tsuna observed carefully from the window, trying his best not to hop from the window and punch them all for hurting the two. This is bad.
To ease his worries, he quickly took out his phone again and typed a message to 3 of his guardians.
To: Tempesta, Nebbia, Nebbia Secondo
Help the two.
~Cielo.
Gokudera perked up as his phone beeped. Reading the message, his eyes flared with determination, and did a quick nod towards the direction of Tsuna before sprinting out of the classroom.
Chrome felt her pocket, and whipped out her phone. When she saw the message, her eyes widened a little, before giving a look of determination and nodded at Tsuna before heading out, pulling down her ponytail.
Upstairs. "Kufufu... looks like I have to help those in need," Mukuro mumbled, smiling a little. (NOT SMIRKING) He then waltzed out of the class with his trident hidden by illusions, ignoring screams of protest from his classmates.
Tsuna looked from under the hood at the scene happening at ground floor.
Gokudera was pointing his Flame missle at the person holding Basil, the Bone Loops of Sistema C.A.I covering Basil from all directions. (A/N: Okay, I'm not so sure if Gokudera did get his Sistema C.A.I back, but I'm assuming he is. I finished reading the manga quite sometime ago and have forgotten whether he had kept it due to my bad memory)
"Give up." Gokudera sneered, making the girls upstairs squeal at the delinquent-like boy. Around him, were 14 men all blasted and burnt by the dynamite of Gokudera, and were still being scratched by a certain Uri.
Mukuro, on the other hand, with a Chrome who had let her hair down, were traumitising the other half of the men with scorpions, snakes, and dangerous food. (Courtesy of Bianchi for teaching Chrome how to make poison food, which led to her putting it in her illusions.)
Naito suddenly held two tekkos, one on each hand, (A/N: The Tekko is a fist-load weapon increases the mass of the hand so that, given the physical proportionality between the fist's momentum and its mass, it increases the force the bearer can deliver. Some fist-load weapons may also serve, in the same manner, as the guard on a sword, to protect the structure of the bearer's hand. It is D-shaped, the curve being the blade, and the line of the 'D' shape being the handle.) which were spewing with Sky flames, and used it to knock the man who Gokudera was threathening, out.
"These are my weapons!" Naito held them out triumphtly. "I call them my D-shaped blades!" he grinned.
From above, Tsuna sweatdropped. You mean Tekkos.
"JUUDAIME! WE HAVE DEFEATED THE ASSASSINS!" Gokudera shouted with pride, eyes seemingly sparkling. Tsuna sweatdropped again.
"Kufufu, we had our fun here. Lets go, my dear Chrome." Mukuro sniggered, and Chrome slowly followed behind the now steadily walking away pineapple. Behind them were all assassins, which had fainted from fright or had remained still from the imagination of eating the poisionous food and gaining paralyzed.
Soon after, Hibari and the disiplinary committee had taken care of the mess. (Hibari: Herbivores creating disorder in school. I'll bite them all to death. Kusakabe: Kyo-san, they have either fainted or have been sort of paralyzed. Hibari: Hnn. I will still bite them to death anyway. Kusakabe: KYO-SAN!)
Hicagen was busily editing his notebook in glee. His hands were trembling, his eyes were sparkling with happiness, and his whole self seemed to be jumping.
A shaded figure, seemingly observing a shining green ring on his finger, looked at the over excited assassin.
"Tomo, what got you that excited?" he asked, warily peering at the hoppy blonde-haired boy. Usually, he would hold no emotion, but the happiness overflowing from his face... (Unknown person with green ring on finger: I CAN USE IT AS BLACKMAIL! -eyes shining- Hicagen: O-oi!)
"The identity, the identity..." Hicagen kept repeating to himself, seemingly ignoring all present noise around him.
In the notebook, messily scribbled, were two canceled names. In between was one name, completely clean.
That name was Kiyoshi Ryu.
