Protecting, Vice Versa
Chapter 18: Beware of Dying Will Bullets
A/N: Okay, firstly, I'm sorry for delaying PVV for so long, just to edit one chapter. If there's time I'll start editing the rest too, yeah?
Secondly, this chapter will most likely be back to humor. Hehe.
Enjoy!
DISCLAIMER: I own nothing but the storyline. Katekyo Hitman Reborn belongs to Amano Akira.
"E-everyone, please stop fighting-"
"AHOSHI! (Stupid cow) STOP ASKING FOR SWEETS!"
"Ahahaha- what's going on?"
"Ara ara, Baka-dera, (Idiot-dera) do you not have anything to serve the mighty Lambo-sama?"
"I-I have one sweet here, Lambo-kun..."
"Kufufu... my dear Chrome, you shouldn't be so giving."
Cue chain hitting everyone's head, except for Tsuna and Reborn, who expertly matrix-ed it. (While shouting "MATRIX (1)" at the same time.)
Hibari retracted the chains back into his tonfas, somehow getting a mop out of nowhere, and threw it to the brunette, who caught it with a clumsy grip.
"Omnivore, clean up the blood later." The skylark used his tonfa to point at the small mess of blood created from the injury inflicted to everyone's heads, before turning around to head out calmly, like he had always done.
This time it was real blood, not seemingly fake blood from cutting beetroots, or from scooping up diluted tomato puree using a soup ladle. (Hinting at Chapter 1 here.)
And before the brunette could faint at this slight phobia he had developed since the EXTREME dinner filled with food/liquids which give off red liquid, the baby hitman whipped out Leon gun, pointing it at the brunette's forehead from afar with one assumption on what the brunette wanted to do with regret;
"Die."
BANG.
And as the brunette fell, as usual, regrets started filling his head.
"Ahh, if I had..."
His limp body fell onto the ground, as if his bones had suddenly turned into cookies.
Then his body shone with a peculiar light.
A small fire started on his forehead.
Blink.
"RE-BORRRRNNNNN!" Half naked, the brunette leaped up, before running...
...across the mop...
...into the corner.
"I'LL SHIVER WITH FEAR WITH MY DYING WILL!"
And as the 6 unconscious guardians continued to bleed, and as the boss crouched in the corner shivering, the baby hitman was internally face palming at the grave miscalculation he had made. Initially, the ex-Sun-Arcobaleno had assumed that the brunette's dying regret was to clean with his dying will, but...
And thus, with 6 unconscious bleeding guardians, one boss shivering with his dying will, and with one baby hitman slapping himself internally, the initial reason as to why they had all gathered on the rooftop would never be resolved-
"AHH! WAKE ALL THE GUARDIANS UP WITH MY DYING WILL!"
-Maybe.
After the brunette had pulled his shirt, hoodie and pants on, tended to the wounds of those injured, restored the pride of the baby hitman and called Hibari up again (He had to matrix about 5 times now), he made everyone sit in a circle calmly and coolly, so as to prevent any further interruptions due to some hotheadedness and natural disruptions. Oh, and, of course, he had his Hyper Dying Will mode turned on again.
"Now." Tsuna crossed his arms, eyes half opened in slight impatience. "Give suggestions."
Ryohei blinked.
"WHAT EXTREME SUGGESTIONS?!" Cue speed lines behind him, as he stood up howling that he had no clue what was going on. St all. Even after the whole mayhem.
And red tick marks started appearing on the brunette's head.
And before the brunette could lose his temper, Gokudera, unknowingly, hopped into the situation; "LAWN-HEAD, WEREN'T YOU PAYING ATTENTION?!"
Yamamoto laughed heartily at the situation, nudging Tsuna in the shoulder. "Ne, Tsuna, don't you think this is quite light-hearted?" The swordsman grinned, speaking as cheerfully as he had ever done.
The brunette's red tick marks disappeared at the Rain Guardian's sentence, before face palming at another mayhem coming up.
But behind the palm, the boss to be gave off an uncontrollable smile. After all, just two days before their gathering, two of their friends had been captured- Haru and Hiyako. However, to see that they're still light-hearted now was sort of calming yet worrying in a way. In fact, if he even reminisced in detail about this, the nearest wall would have been broken down at around this time.
But the brunette knew- everyone's mentality would be the same as him.
It was good, in a way, that his guardians could start thinking of ways to get the two girls back, though the current situation didn't seem so much like it.
But, before the first mayhem, the guardians had all, already, agreed on one way.
And that one way was?
"We are going... we are going to become stronger!"
Well, mainstream, yes, but that's one of the fastest and most idiot proof ways, yes?
So they branched out more ideas with the one basis of getting stronger
And considering that they had seen the prowess of the Ye Shan famiglia, the strength of their strength(?) and many other factors, they decided on this way was one of the most obvious, easiest but hardest to agree on-
Search for our own tutors.
It would be hard to agree on as some would want to train themselves (Gokudera, Hibari), while some would just not want to train (Lambo). But after they had seen the strength of their enemy, even Hibari knew that they couldn't get stronger alone.
They had to find someone stronger then them to help them train, no matter the methods. (But, of course, except suicidal methods.)
"But the first mayhem started when they were deciding on the tutors.
"So... who should be our tutors?" The brunette took out a notepad and a ballpoint pen, ready to jot down any opinions.
The group was silent about this. They had already received guidance from so many people, but now there were not many people with the guidance to make them stronger.
Well, one of them would be Reborn, but he specializes in guns.
Another would be Viper, but the Mist Arcobaleno would only be able to guide Chrome, as Mukuro has defeated the said Arcobaleno before.
Unless...
"Bermuda?" Yamamoto raised a person's name, however there was one single critique.
"We don't know his flame type."
The Storm Guardian, unexpectedly, raised a view that actually matches his IQ.
Cue Bermuda appearing out of a portal made up of Night
"I sensed that you were talking about my Flame Type, yes?"
The mini boss of Vendicare spouted out loud, not noticing the ghastly faces of the Vongola and Hicagen, who, apparently, thought that the bandaged baby could read minds like some fortune teller or something.
Although he had not received any reply of 'Yes' or 'No', Bermuda still replied to his own instinct of them talking about his flame type before he had gotten his Night Flames.
Scratching his worn-out top-hat, the baby Vindice spouted out, sheepishly, in a muffled tone (due to the bandages); "Actually... I've already forgotten. My only current flame type is the Night Flame."
Cue everyone present at the scene except for Reborn (who simply lowered his fedora to hide his laughter) and yours truly falling down to the ground (head first), whether they were sitting or standing.
And then in his embarrassment, Mr. Bermuda von Veckenschtein, age ?, Protector of Container Filled with Pacifiers, disappeared into a whirl of Night Flames as he had done in the Curse of the Rainbow Arc.
Thus, the rooftop was filled with silence, yet again.
Hicagen, who had been quiet since the start, raised his finger and gave a blank look;
"My famiglia."
Silence.
"NOOOOOOOO~" Screaming out in pure despair and terror, Chrome immediately shook their heads from a certain raging memory of hers which she had no guts to touch-
But Mukuro, too, had a reaction. And that was just because his precious female pineapple was suffering from such trauma which was caused due to one simple reason-
The sheer amount of pervertness brimming off the surface of the illusionist of the Gole Fenice's body.
"Kufufu... to that... THAT UN-HOMOSAPIEN LIKE BEING-"
"You could just say non-human like creature, do you not agree?"
"-well, okay. TO THAT UN-HOMOSAPIEN LIKE BEING THAT HAS TORTURED MY PRECIOUS AND DEAR CHROME-"
"-MUKURO-SAMA~~"
"-Oya oya, Chrome, I'm in the middle of defending you. AS I WAS SAYING, HE SHALL PERISH INTO THE BOTTOM OF NOTHINGNESS, RISE, AND GET KILLED AGAIN, AND LET THIS CYCLE BE REPEATED FOR INFINITE TIMES! KUHAHAHAHA! KUHAHAHAHA!"
And as the male pineapple continued his maniacal laughter, more Mist Flames started gathering around him, and... well. All that started was illusions that made everyone start going all wild as mentioned above.
Tap, tap. Click.
"That settles it."
As I was going through the flashback, the people have decided on their tutors without much resistance! Yay! Well ...maybe a little bit? Anyway-
Mukuro and Chrome were now rolling all over the floor,
Yamamoto, Lambo and Ryohei shaking their rings like there was no tomorrow,
Hibari staring at the spot where Bermuda had appeared and disappeared through a Night Portal,
and Tsuna staring for an elongated period of time a the notebook he had jotted into.
"Then, I shall be going first." Hicagen put up his hand and with an unreadable expression, left the rooftop.
And seconds of silence past.
Cue shrill girly screams coming out from the small rectangular plastic window attached to the door to where the rest of the mafiasos resided.
And Hicagen burst back into the compound while securing the door with a lock he just happened to have. (In actual fact the production team threw it to him as they had already foreseen this situation.)
Shaking his head while still keeping a calm look, the assassin pointed out.
"F-fangirls..."
That stutter was all it took to get all of the Vongola people to either
A) Crawl over the fence and be Spiderman in an attempt to escape.
B) Teleport themselves using Mist Flames.
C) Activate Hyper Dying Will Mode and fly away.
And they left Hicagen there by himself, looking all lost but cool.
"The lock's not going to hold any longer~" The cameraman pointed to the rattling door.
"Shit."
"Ne, Hicagen, why are you all beat up?"
"...fangirls."
"...oh."
If you didn't notice, halfway through the talk on deciding the tutors, the ex-Sun-Arcobaleno disappeared without a sound.
Now, on a snowy mountain, he faced a door leading to the interior of a cave which looked like one of a grand, antique palace.
Without him having to knock, the door opened automatically.
"Ah, Reborn." A bandaged baby floated out, greeting the world's best hitman. "What brings you here?"
The baby hitman lowered his fedora.
"I'm here to talk about certain people besides you guys who... has Night Flames."
Bermuda's head raised a little in slight surprise.
"That was thoroughly unexpected."
Reborn smiled, a shadow gazing over his slightly humongous, onyx eyes.
"I know."
Only a small conversation would need to start between the two of the world's strongest people once they get the point of what they want to talk about;
"Are you here on a request that you see them slain, jailed for eternity, or be one of us?"
"None, maybe the third after my plan has been prosecuted."
Smiles started creeping up on both their faces.
"Sawada Tsunayoshi, his guardians, and those from the Gole Fenice?"
"You read me."
"Then there is no need to talk further; me and my group will only capture them once they have been defeated by your students and extras, yes?"
"That's a pretty bad way to talk about the Gole Fenice; extras? They're pretty strong in a sense."
"Well... a habit, I presume."
Two girls were chained up, the dust and dirt ganging up on their delicate skins.
One looked up with ambitious brown eyes, refusing to let the chains bound her, a slight pout on her face.
"Haru refuses to be bound desu!"
The other, a dark green-haired and more mature-like figure, was silent all the time, her chained wrists placed behind her back, her hair covering her agony-filled eyes.
A rectangular shaped light that opened wider entered the two's eyes.
"I'm surprised that the brainwashing liquid has yet to work on you two."
The shadow of the bulky figure who had entered could even show a aura of desire to actually grasp the two slender females.
Hiyako grinned.
"What do you think women are?"
Haru spat in hatred towards the boss of Ye Shan.
"Don't look down on us!"
His eyes shown in shock from the ego of the two for a moment, but it was soon replaced by a frown.
"You two are but baits. Don't you dare defy us."
His mouth, when opened, revealed hidden drool, and it was kept to prevent people from seeing the real him.
Click.
BANG.
Clatter, clatter.
Hiyako revealed her hands from behind her back, one which had a gun.
A sly grin crept up her face.
"My mum is not to be underestimated to. Thanks Mom!"
Pointing to Haru's forehead, Hiyako pulled the trigger.
BANG-
And placed the muzzle on hers a split second later.
BANG!
The two bodies fell limp onto the ground.
The boss raised an eyebrow. Self destruct?
No.
The two bodies shone with a mysterious light.
Their bodies ripped in a perfect half as if it was paper.
"RE-BORNNNNNNN!"
"WE'LL GET OUT OF HERE WITH OUR DYING WILLS!"
And the two's physical prowess were not to be looked down lightly upon, even more so when their Dying Will is activated.
Hua Ming, however, was as composed as ever.
"Let's see if you can."
Beware of Dying Will Bullets. They can get you into much more shit.
Knock, knock.
"Coming..." A certain orange-haired man groaned with the displeasure of someone interrupting their peaceful day in the Gole Fenice HQ (Apparently a warm, cosy little house) while slumping off the nice little couch he was on.
Grabbing and twisting the golden-color knob of the entrance, a wooden door, the slightly vertically-advantaged man look down without moving his head, only to see two peculiar purple pineapple heads.
"We're... WE'RE LOOKING FOR IGURAS!"
The man who had opened the door raised an eyebrow, a crooked smile forming on his face.
In the Namimori Forest where there were nothing but animals, plants and rocks, a certain baseball-idiot, lawn-head and idiot cow gathered in a circle, repeatedly shaking rings with a design that was quite similar.
Finally, a light started shining out of all of them, projecting images of people who were clutching their heads.
Apparently, the people who were being projected out of the rings all looked identical to the one who was holding a certain ring.
"We're sorry to keep shaking your land inside the ring but..." The gazes of all the three sharped with the Rain Guardian of the 10th Generation of the Vongola saying this sentence.
"Please train us!"
This time, a raven-haired skylark stood in front of the Vindice's lair.
Again, without having to knock, the door opened without notice.
However, this time, the one who responded was Jaegar.
"Yes, Cloud Guardian of the 10th Generation of the Vongola?"
Hibari smiled, licking his lips a little.
"Fight me."
In the midst of a forest filled with maple-leaves, a hooded brunette stood firm in front of a mountain house.
Rapping the door with his fist, the boss to-be bit the insides of his mouth in nervousness, however softly.
The one that opened the door seemed overly hyper.
"Yes, ahh, Tsunayoshi-sama? Are you here to..."
Nod.
"Please ask your boss to be my tutor."
"Ahh, okay, okay~!"
The man clad in a weird-looking suit ran in again, and reaching a spacious area which looked much like the interior of any other mountain home, he bowed.
"Checkerface-sama, Tsunayoshi-sama has requested for you to be his tutor."
OMAKE: Jaegar's troubles.
After hearing the request, the tall guard of Mr. Bermuda von what-ever-shit scratched his head in despair.
"B-but, I'm using quite a lot of Night Flames to support 1/3 of the Tri-nii-set-"
"Fight me."
"B-but-"
"Fight me."
"B-"
"FIGHT. ME."
Lost in his own words and in the skylark's persistence, the tall bandaged dude finally caved in.
(1) It's a cooler way of saying "I dodged it". Ehehe./
