A/N: As I said in the previous chapter, I'm going to speed things up since I want to get a story completed fast. I know it's quick but if I'm going to write every single episode, this story is going to the hundreds and most of them are the same with slight changes or none whatsoever.
Reason why I didn't write Fuuta's episode as its own chapter is pretty much obvious when you have two mages in Namimori. Also I changed the opening scene a bit to signify the upcoming arc. And I did something different for both the Opening and Ending.
So this chapter is where we finally head into the Kokuyo Arc!
Geez, the Daily Life Arc took forever!
Hane ga nai tenshi wa boku ni itta
(The title appears on screen before changing to show Tsuna with a clear blue sky background. He starts walking before stopping when Felicia appeared in front of him with Reborn in her arms)
Ie he to kaeru chizu wo nakushita
(She smiled while Reborn looked up to him as his pattern, Leon, shifted into a gun)
Hiriki na boku wa efude wo totte
Kawaita e no gu ni mizu wo sasu
(Pulling the trigger and the flash of a Dying Will Bullet, the next scene shows Dying Will Tsuna doing amazing feats like jumping high into the sun and running in high speed)
Kono me ga hikari wo ushinatte mo
Boku wa egaite miseru
(As he returned to normal, the flames dissipating, he smiled as Felicia appeared next to him. The next scene features Ron, Hermione, Severus and Draco performing spells like Incendio, Aguamenti, Bombarda and Sectumsempra)
Kono te ga chikara wo ushinatte demo
Boku wa egaite miseru
(Felicia's wand then appeared on screen before Felicia grabbed it and performed her Patronus)
Subete wo tsumikomu youna iro ni
Subete no negai wo kometa inori
(The next sequence showcases Ken and Chikusa showing off a glimpse of their signature abilities before switching to Mukuro with a shadowed figure beside him fighting Hyper Dying Will Tsuna. The next scene is a cut of Tsuna and Felicia with Reborn in her arms again, looking into the sunset before shifting to a montage of the Kokuyo Gang then a vertical split screen showing Felicia's right green eye on the right and HDWM Tsuna's left eye on the left before showing a final group shot of TYL I-pin, Ryohei, Gokudera, Hibari, Yamamoto, Bianchi, Dino, and TYL Lambo in the backgrounds while Hyper Dying Will Tsuna and Felicia stayed behind Reborn in the middle)
~CHAPTER 12: The Ranking Prince and Rokudo Mukuro~
It was a peaceful morning as we find our resident witch eating her breakfast. "Ah, so rare to have a peaceful morning. Any other day would see Reborn barging in demanding requests or uncle giving me a training exercise."
She hummed as she drank her morning tea, "It's nice for a change."
It was then a knock was heard on the door. "So much for peaceful..." She got up and walked towards it as the knocking got louder and more frantic. "Coming."
The moment she opened the door, she felt a smaller body slammed into her, causing her to fall back. When she looked down after getting her bearings, all she could see was light-brown hair before the owner lifted his head to show large dark-brown eyes.
"Please hide me, Feli-nee!"
As she had predicted, she's not going to have a peaceful morning today.
xXxOOOOxXx
"So you're saying this kid has an ability to rank people and has a book of all the rankings he had done for the past years. And if someone with bad intentions were to get their hands on it would rule the world?" Tsuna summarized.
After dealing with said 'people with bad intentions' (Seriously, they should know not to mess with a mage of all people, especially one who has a soft spot for children), Felicia had brought Fuuta to Tsuna's house.
"Not to mention that his rankings are 100% accurate." Reborn added. "It's a good thing Felicia had dealt with them and sent them packing, although they should know not to mess in another's territory, much less from the Potters'. But since it's the Todd Famiglia, I'm not exactly surprised as they're mostly brawn without brains."
Tsuna nodded, happy to hear they're out of town, "So he'll be staying with you?"
"It's safer for him. And no one is crazy or insane enough to cross a mage." She replied. "Though I'm still wondering why choose me when there are other better and more powerful mages to protect you."
"Because Feli-nee ranks 1st place for being very protective of children. And for being a mother/sister figure!" Fuuta said with a smile.
"Well, that is true..." She muttered.
"And she's also suited to be a mafia's wife." Fuuta said.
That surprised them, "Mafia's wife?!"
"That is unexpected..." Felicia blushed a bit.
'Wife?' Tsuna thought as he glanced at the Brit before turning away with a blush.
Reborn had caught this before tilting his fedora down to hide his smirk. 'This should be fun.'
Whereas Fuuta hid a frown behind his scarf, 'But Feli-nee is also ranked 1st as one of the most feared creature in the whole universe.'
xXxOOOOxXx
For the next few days, Felicia had been rather restless since her sense had been on overdrive ever since Fuuta had appeared so she opted to take a few days off school. Of course she told Hibari and Reborn about it, lest she'll face their wrath afterwards.
It was only on the fourth day that she realized why she was restless when she came face to face with the one responsible.
Never in her days would she find someone who emitted a similar aura like hers but... his is much more tainted than anything else.
"Kufufu, such an honor to meet the world-renowned Felicia Potter." He said as he mock-bowed to her.
"Was that a compliment or sarcasm?" She threw out.
"Kufufu, why a compliment. It's not everyday you would meet the one and only Mistress." He purred at the last part.
She tensed before outright glaring, "How did you know about that?"
He only laughed that insufferable laugh as he brought out a trident, "If you come with me, I'll tell you."
"And why should I?" She flicked her wrist and her wand appeared. He tutted as a small figure appeared behind him, blank eyes staring into her bright-greens. She hissed as her eyes narrowed, "You insufferable-"
"Now now, you wouldn't want to hurt him now, do you?" He said as a knife appeared in the boy's hand before pointing it at his neck. "Come quietly, and he won't get hurt."
"And what makes you think a mere illusionist could do to a Witch?" She said. That was when she felt a prick on her neck and her whole world turned black.
"Careful, even a mere illusionist can knock out a mage."
xXxOOOOxXx
Tsuna was shaking as they ventured deeper into Kokuyo Land. Just yesterday, Gokudera had just been attacked by the ones responsible for attacking the strongest fighters in Namimori. Even though Hibari had gone to take care of them, there was no word from him. Worse still is that there was no sign of Felicia anywhere. Not even Severus was able to pinpoint her location.
Come to think of it, he hadn't heard from Fuuta at all.
Until they had a tip that they're currently in Kokuyo Land... Where the perpetrators are hidden.
They had defeated four of them being Ken, M.M, Birds and the Fake Mukuro. Though he was shaken at the fact young Fuuta would allied himself with a killer. And what was that about 'Feli-nee will join them soon'? Will Felicia really join Mukuro? There's no way, she's not like that but after what happened with Lancia who had been possessed to kill off his Famiglia...
He shook his head to get rid of that thought. Right now he should focus on finding the real Mukuro while Gokudera fight with the yo-yo user. Which didn't take long as he opened one door to reveal said teen lounging on the dingy couch.
"Rokudo Mukuro..." He whispered before jumping in surprise by a loud bang from the door behind him. He turned to find Fuuta.
Mukuro smirked in amusement as he watched the Vongola Decimo trying to talk to the Ranking Prince while the Poison Scorpion got close to him. How naive, staying with the weak Decimo must have softened her to let her guard down as she was stabbed by the young boy.
Speaking of which, he wondered how his other guest is doing? Had she finally succumb to his control? One way to find out...
He hummed as the Ranking Prince hesitated to stab the Decimo before collapsing. Oh well, this means he could bring her in.
"You had to stick your nose where it doesn't belong, and now he crashed."
"What?" Tsuna said.
"He's barely gotten any sleep over the past ten days. Thinking back, he was quite a handful. We came to Japan to learn the whereabouts of Vongola 10th, but we had no leads. So we asked Fuuta-kun, who was rumored to be an acquaintance. He invoked Omerta and kept his mouth shut." Mukuro smiled.
'The code of silence, Omerta…' Tsuna thought sadly.
"Even after I took control of his mind, he wouldn't say anything about the Vongola. Very impressive." He said.
"So you had no choice but to use the Namimori combat ranking to flush out Tsuna and his family." Reborn theorized.
The scheme was a huge success. As you see, the Vongola boy is here." Mukuro leaned back in his chair, smiling smugly.
"You abused an innocent boy like Fuuta…" Tsuna turned back to Mukuro. "Rokudo Mukuro! What do you take people for!?"
"Toys, I suppose." Mukuro smirked.
Tsuna gritted his teeth, anger flashing in his eyes. How dare he!
xXxOOOOxXx
Dark... So dark...
Cold... So cold...
She opened her eyes to find herself in a dark void, floating like a ghost.
She hears nothing. She sees nothing. She feels...nothing.
"Oya, it's been a long time someone had entered here." She didn't turn to the voice but she knows it's there. The presence that slept deep in her mind throughout her life. "Hmm? Seems to me, you didn't come here on your own accord."
She said nothing.
"Well, no matter. Tell me, child. What do you wish for?"
Her wish? Does she get to wish?
Her mind is blank. She couldn't think of one for nothing appears in mind...
Couldn't... Nothing...
Ah. That's right.
Black flames started swirling around her like snakes before enveloping her like a cloak.
She couldn't because she's not supposed to. For she is nothing.
For she is...
xXxOOOOxXx
Tsuna watched in fright as his friends were one by one being turned into Mukuro's puppets. It had all started when Mukuro shot himself in the head. Although gruesome, he had thought that it was over. That is, until Gokudera got stabbed by a possessed Bianchi, who in turn became possessed himself. Ken and Chikusa were in the same way.
Reborn explained that Mukuro had used a very forbidden bullet created by the Estraneo Famiglia which allows him to possess whoever he wants. Though he needs a way to get in so by using his trident as a medium, whosoever gets cut by said trident will evidently be possessed by him.
Which is why Tsuna is trying very hard to avoid. Especially when Reborn cannot intervene.
Fortunately, he could't control much less move those who had too much injuries on them like Hibari who had several broken bones.
"Kufufu, give it up, Vongola Decimo. Sooner or later, your body will be mine." Mukuro-Ken said. "Speaking of which, I should also introduce to you another one of my newest puppets."
Tsuna blinked in confusion before yelping in fright as black flames erupted from the ground. Reborn gritted his teeth, knowing who is coming through.
"Oya, it seems she has come to play."
'She?' Tsuna thought as he watched the flames died down to reveal someone he wouldn't have thought to come out of it.
"Allow me to introduce..." Tsuna's eyes widened as Felicia stared blankly at him, eyes shadowed by her hair as a scythe made from the black flames appeared in her hand. "The Mistress of Death."
Subete ga kawariyuku kono sekai de
(Tsuna is sleeping on his classroom desk when he was shaken awake by Felicia)
Anata to boku dake wa sore wo mite ita
(Looking up, he saw her, Reborn, Yamamoto and Gokudera waiting for him to go home as it's after school)
Subete ga onaji ni mieru sekai de
Anata to boku dake wa sore wo shitte ita
(At a crossroad, he apologized to them for waiting on him which they said it was okay. Not far are Mukuro, Ken and Chikusa with the leader briefly looking at them before turning away. Then it panned to a cake shop where Kyoko and Haru were chatting excitingly about the cakes before noticing Tsuna and the others)
Ima mo kokoro ni wa ne utsuru ONE NIGHT STAR, ONE NIGHT STAR
Ai no uta wa mada ne dekizu ONE NIGHT STAR, ONE NIGHT STAR
(The scene changed to them by the bridge over the river as they walked down the stairs when Fuuta, Lambo and I-Pin appeared waving at them, though Lambo almost fell over the railing)
Soshite yori nemurezuni mieta sora wa hikaru hoshi ga
Kurayami ni aita hikari no ana to omou
(It then changed to show the gang walking along the river while showing Hibari watching them, or the sunset, with Ryohei running past behind him)
Furueru kata daku te wo hanashi sora ni hiroge oh!
Sore kara tsukame yo kagayaku ONE NIGHT, ONE NIGHT STAR
(Finally it changed to show Nana doing the laundry with Bianchi eating a snack before they noticed the gang coming towards the house, whom Nana greeted with a smile. At the back of the group, Felicia with Reborn in her arms stopped to view behind them as if to look at the sky. Tsuna, who had noticed them stopping, stretched out a hand to them with a smile. To which Felicia reciprocated as she held hers in his, thus ending the song)
Many of you must be wondering why Felicia didn't just kick Mukuro's butt. You have to understand that illusions are not, in a way, magic. For, to them, is a fake magic, which is why in the Wizarding World, being called a magician or illusionist is a great insult.
Magic is a power to bend one's reality to their will while illusions just give the impression of magic.
Which is why the Wizarding World didn't bother with illusions like the ones Mists can do, as it is an insult. Thus they didn't have any counter-measures against them as Mist Illusions are capable of cloaking their presence, more powerful ones can erase their entire existence from the plane.
