Chapter 6: Sweet Encounters With Dangerous Children

He gaped so openly, completely forgetting Asari's presence.

Tsuna only stared in horror, frozen in fear by the piercing glare the prefect has transfixed on him. His life was over. He was going to be biten to death in a few seconds time. He closed his eyes and waited. The sound of metal clanking made him flinch, making his ears twitch.

A warm, soft touch the tip of his ears, the hand was hesitant before slowly rubbing his head deeply, bringing a delighted purr out of the brunt. Tsuna leaned into the touch then opened his eyes — and much to his confusion and horror — it was Hibari who was standing before him.

His eyes widen. "H-Hibari-san!" He squeaked.

Instead of responding, the prefect was so immersed into the two appendages poking out from the brunet's ruly, silky hair. One of them twitched, making the raven have the sudden urge to pet it once more. But before he did, someone placed their palm on his head. Instinctively, he retrieved the fallen tonfas lying on the ground and swung at the person.

The person jumped out of the way effortlessly, landing a few feet away. The prefect glared at the other. "Who are you?" Asari had to laugh almost bitterly.

"Just a dear friend of this child," he said, smiling gently down at his charge as Tsuna recoiled shyly behind his leg. The man's eyes gave a disturbing sparkle, to which, unfortunately, Kyoya did not flinch. This kid had the guts, Asari had to admit. But on the other hand, this is Alaude's descendant.

"Hn," Kyoya openly glared at the newcomer, not standing down from his stance. From what he can see, this herbivore has the potential of a carnivore. But his too carefree demeanor was absolutely nauseating which also reminds him of that baseball jock from Takesushi.

Asari chuckled at the familiar synchronizing gleam in the older boy's eyes. Definitely Alaude's descendant. He patted Tsuna's head and gently released his tiny fingers from his leg. "Tsuna-kun, this dear young boy is not here to harm you." He smiled, slightly relieving his fears. "Asari-nii will talk to him and all will be peaceful, okay?"

"Hai," The little hybrid whispered, hugging his body; arms wrapping around like an automatic reaction. Asari smiled then turned to the bloody-thirsty prefect. The sweet smile turned bitter once again. He raised at hand in a "no harm" gesture, calling out, "Hibari, isn't it? I see Tsuna-kun has a bit healthful fear of you.. May I ask why?" Asari blinked at him.

Kyoya merely acknowledged his words and snarled, attacking head first. His tonfa narrowly missed the man's cheek whom dodged at precise timing. Asari jumped back from one foot to the other, the younger opponent following his forward. The deceased Rain Guardian effortlessly dodged all his offenses, pissing him off to no end. Kyoya suddenly restrained himself enough to glare at the man. "Don't mock me."

Tsuna, on the sidelines the whole time, finally came to reality and fell back in his shock. "H-Hibari-san!"He stood to his feet and ran between to try to at least make them stop, mostly in Kyoya's case. His body shook in terror, but remained standing strong and confident. The chibi in the back of his mind cried a flow of tears, rambling on about how 'Hibari-san will surely bite us to death.'

"Move, herbivore." His deadly calm voice rang out. Asari gave off his normal smile while Tsuna flinched.

"H-Hibari-san! Please s-stop," The young boy cried, tears spring in his eyes. Kyoya almost collapsed from shock but still remained in position. The herbivore was just itching to be bitten to death. But those big, glossy eyes immediately tore down the iron wall blocking his weaknesses out. His cold, colbalt eyes softened a second then returned menacing.

He relucantly dropped his stance and glared at the two. "Get out of here."

Tsuna gave a sigh of relief. He released a very bright smile to Kyoya, almost blinding the other in its sheer kindness. "Thanks, Hibari-san!"

The prefect gave another round of his glare. "Herbivore, did you not hear what I've said."

Tsuna blinked but smiled. "See you around, Hibari-san! Ja ne~" He turned to Asari, who walked away then settled to watch the scene from a distance. He raised his arm in a wave then turned a corner.

Kyoya's gaze lingered after them. He held back a sigh. "Troublesome." His eyes followed the sky, at the drifting clouds. "Sawada Tsunayoshi."

He turned his back and focused back on his duties.

"Mukuro-nii?" His dear little sister asked.

"Yes, Nagi?" He responded, still smiling creepily. His eyes wandering trying to pin point the all-too familiar face.

"Where is this 'Tuna-fish' you've been rambling about?" Nagi clutched her brother's arm sleeve tighter, her eyes widening at the numerous people bustling about the streets. Mukuro gently patted her head, reassuring her that that person will be there in a few.

"Not to worry, Nagi. He'll surely be here." That creepy grin was plastered on his face once again. Nagi glanced up at her brother's expression, her confusion rising. "Is he nice, Mukuro-nii?"

"Yes, yes. Very nice indeed. You'll be friends in no time." He reassured her, flashing his one of a kind warm smiles. Nagi nodded meekly then hid her face in the sleeves of her brother's jacket.

Mukuro searched the crowd with annoyance, not once finding the familiar unruly brown hair. His eyes lastly scanned over the ice cream palor; quickly giving it a second glance then turned. But the face of his Tuna-fish caught his eyes.

A gently nugged his sister, announcing that the person was here. They mingling through the crowd until they reached their destination. Mukuro grinned, walking up from behind the boy. "Kufufufu~ what do we have here, Tsunayoshi?"

Said boy jumped a few feet in the air. Tsuna turned around, recognizing that laugh anywhere. Only one person he knew had that creepy laugh, yet it was unique since it perfectly fits his image. "Mukuro-nii!" He beamed, his heterchromatic eyes immediately capturing his sight.

Mukuro smirked at the excited glint in his eyes. Tsuna ran to hug the older boy but the extra person latching at his side stopped him. He stared at the smaller frame curiously. "Ne, who's that?"

"Nagi, this is whom I was speaking of." Mukuro kindly introduced his younger sister. "This is Chrome Dokuro, but she refers herself as Nagi. She's my younger sister." The girl peeked from behind her brother and stared at the other child who brighted at her appearance.

"Nice to meet you, Chrome-chan!" Tsuna smiled as her huge purple eyes stared at him. "My name is Sawada Tsunayoshi, but I mostly refer Tsuna."

Chrome slowly but eventually detatched herself from her siblings form. She blushed at the other's kind smile, fiddling with her hands. She immediately glanced down, her blush darkening. "H-Hi, Tsuna-nii," she replied meekly. Not soon after she latched herself onto Mukuro once again.

Tsuna pouted at the reaction. "Is Chrome-chan scared of me?" He asked the blue-haired boy. Mukuro merely chuckled and wrapped his arm around her shoulders. "Nagi is a very shy person, but she'll eventually open up."

"Oooh," The brunet nodded then flushed. "Chrome-chan should show her face more. She's cute." He made a squeaky noise and laughed lightly. Somewhere in the background, Mukuro choked on his spit though Tsuna didn't seem to notice. Asari sure did.

"Tsuna-kun," Asari called from behind. "Who are your friends?" He has just returned from gazing at the palor's paintings of musicians. His gaze lingered on the two siblings, certainly on their hairstyle. Daemon's descendants have made their appearance.

"Un! This is Mukuro-nii and his sister Chrome. Mukuro-nii and I met a few months ago but I just met his sister today." Tsuna beamed, standing by his self-proclaimed brother, grabbing his hand. "And Mukuro-nii, this is Asari-nii."

"Kufufufu~ It's a pleasure to meet you," Mukuro chuckled. Asari smiled at the two, slightly cringing at the intimate act of holding hands. "Nice to me you, too, Mukuro-kun."

"Anyways, what are you doing here, Mukuro-nii?" Tsuna turned to the older boy. The blue-haired boy smiled, shifting his arm to wrap around the younger's waist; though he was oblivious to the action.

"I came to see you, Tsunayoshi-kun. It's been a while." His arm hugged the boy closer. Tsuna agreed, already blabbing about his recent adbentures. Mukuro nodded absentmindedly once he asked questions. His gaze settled on the man's shocked expression.

He laughed evilly in his mind. 'Kufufu~ Tuna-fish is mine.' He smirked at Asari, a possessive glint in his eyes. 'What are you going to do?' He mocked the other through their locked gazes.

'D-Did that kid...just threaten me?' Asari blinked.

'No one will have Tsunayoshi. Not even you.' Mukuro cackled lightly.

Asari's eye twitched. Both Alaude and Daemon's descendant sure love competing, especially for Tsuna's attention.
