Chapter 8
Chrome was in a rather giddy mood today during school. The reason why was simple to the point some people found it rather adorable and cute.
Her beloved Tsuna-kun's birthday was coming up soon and while she was excited she was also rather nervous as she wasn't sure what to get him for this year. She did consider calling Oboro and Kaliya on what she should do, but she decided against it as she had a feeling the two older women would tease her quite a bit and tell her something silly like "put on a bunny suit and rock his world!" or something like that.
Don't get her wrong though, while the violet-haired girl wanted to have sex with her beloved betrothal eventually she feared that she would find herself lacking in bedroom skills and the fact that she wasn't as busty and mature like Ingrid or even Mash made her rather self-conscious of herself. Sure she wasn't exactly lacking as her figure was slim and petite and her bust was a modest size.
So yeah, she wasn't flat chested by any chance nor was she ridiculously busty like a Cow Demon (she shuddered at the thought of having such a large chest along with back problems), but her concern was that she was worried that she wouldn't be able hold Tsuna's attention long enough.
"Why do I keep thinking like this?" Chrome thought to herself as she sat next to Kyoko and Shizuka. "Maybe it's just nerves or maybe I just keep comparing myself to women like Ingrid-san and Mash and feeling inadequate. Either way, Tsuna loves me regardless and said that I don't have to do anything special for him. I just don't want to get cold feet and get scared off at the thought of having sexual intimacy with him." She thought as she started to blush a bit at the idea of having sex with her beloved Tsuna.
"Hey Chrome-chan, whatcha thinking about?" Kyoko asked as she turned to her and noticed that the quiet violet-haired girl had a blush on her face. "Oho? Your face is so red! Are you having some sweet thoughts about Tsuna-kun~" She teased and that made Chrome blush rather madly at being caught.
"W-what? N-no!" She stuttered out rather weakly as Kyoko and Shizuka grinned at her. "Okay…somewhat, but I-I'm just thinking about what to get for his birthday, that's all." She said and two girls looked at each other before nodding as realization came to them.
"I think I have an idea on what to get for Tsuna." Both girls said as they pulled out several manga and video game magazines and gave some to Chrome.
As Chrome looked through them, ideas formed in her mind.
She knew what she was gonna get for Tsuna.
With Zoro and the others…
"Oh shit… Tsuna's birthday is coming up?" Gokudera said in shock.
Zoro just scoffed at the surprised look that was on the silver head's face. "Of course it is you runt. We remember it because it was sometimes celebrated in one of the unused rooms at the Dark Tower in Tokyo."
Gokudera flinched a little at the moss-haired swordsman's tone but got over it. "Okay… so how old is he turning?" He asked curiously.
"Oh, I think he's turning 16 this year." Tanjiro interjected as Nezuko nodded in confirmation. He then started to grin and chuckle a bit. "I just know Ingrid's been waiting for this day to happen hehehe."
"Ingrid-senpai shouldn't be so greedy." Mash pouted, but was grinning a little suggestively. "She should remember that we agreed to share master once he hit sixteen. Never mind that Chrome would want to join in on the fun so we shouldn't leave her out." She said while blushing and grinning a bit at the thought of seeing the pineapple haired girl's naked body.
Zoro rolled his eyes and lightly bopped Mash's head. "Keep it to yourself, Homunculi. We don't need to know what you and the other girls get up to when thinking about the captain." He chided while ignoring the pink-haired Homunculus's whines. He then turned toward Takeshi and Gokudera. "So, do you two have any ideas?"
"I was thinking about hosting his party at the restaurant. I asked my dad about it and he said it would be fine." Takeshi said with a smile. "I also found this rather interesting manga about Vampires that I think he would like."
Left unsaid was the plot of the manga being set in a post apocalyptic future due to people fighting over this ancient spaceship on Mars and one of the main characters was a priest and an odd type of vampire that fed on other vampires. He read it himself and found it interesting and so he thought it would be a good birthday gift for his friend who was half-vampire.
Gokudera on the other hand was freaking out a bit. He wasn't really sure what to get for Tsuna and when he overheard Chrome, Kyoko and Shizuka talking and the two girls pulled out magazines for Chrome to use for ideas, that's when he had an idea of his own.
While Tsuna wasn't an avid gamer, he did have some games in his room along with some gaming posters of various video game characters he once saw one time.
If he remembered correctly, the Dhampir was a fan of Bloodrayne and was looking for a poster of the main character who happened to be a half-vampire herself.
"So, do you think Hibari might get Tsuna some gifts?" Takeshi asked.
"Not sure though, doubt he'll come around but if he does it could either be a weapon or some language books since Fon mentioned to him that Tsuna knows Chinese." Zoro shrugged, not really caring if the dragon-scented teen came to Tsuna's birthday party or not.
"Ciaossu."
He and the others barely reacted to Reborn's sudden appearance though the moss-haired demon gave the small hitman a glare.
"My birthday is in five days ya know." He said, adding into the conversation.
"Good for you, I ain't getting ya shit." Snarked Zoro.
"Well that's interesting, your birthday is a day before Tsuna's." Takeshi theorized.
That made Reborn pout. Well shit, there goes hijacking his current student's birthday.
"Ya know, I'm sure Tsuna wouldn't mind sharing…" Mash suggested, noticing Reborn's annoyed expression and trying to placate him.
"Well anyway, what are you guys getting him?" Reborn asked. Mostly to get an idea of what NOT to get for the Dhampir teen.
"I'm planning to get a BloodRayne Poster along with any possible figurines." Gokudera said while looking at his phone to see any stores that sell video game posters.
"A manga from a rather interesting series that's set in a post-apocalyptic world and whose main character is an odd vampire who works for a branch of the Vatican." Takeshi said.
"I see, sounds good." He said as he looked at the others who said they thought about hosting a party at the Dark Tower in Tokyo.
Well damn, looks like everyone had things planned out. Suddenly a thought came to the small hitman that made him grin deviously.
He could get Tsuna a suit that resembled his own before the curse took hold of him, complete with a fedora and a gun similar to his.
It would show to others, especially the other Arcobaleno if they were to meet that Tsuna was his student and was following in his footsteps.
It had his inner sense of chaos grinning with anticipation.
"Huh, so Reborn's birthday is a day before mine?" Tsuna asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Yep!" Said Bianchi, who was one of the few who knew about it.
Why Bianchi was here in his house Tsuna wasn't really sure but the Poison Scorpion had stopped by and wanted to make amends and apologize for what happened the other day.
He accepted it somewhat, but told her that she had her work cut out for her if she wanted forgiveness, especially with Gokudera.
That was fine with the Italian freelancer, so long as she was given a chance to apologize to her brother.
"I see, well I've been meaning to give him an old book so I'm sure he'll enjoy it." He said.
"Really? What kind of book is it?" Bianchi asked curiously.
"Oh, just an old demonology book I got a while ago. It belonged to one of my grandfather's executives who no longer had a need for it as he currently has some updated ones and figured somebody else would enjoy it."
Left unsaid was that Ruri was amused yet curious about Reborn when he gave the book to Tsuna and hoped to see the hitman soon as both were fellow book readers. Tsuna wasn't really sure how such a meeting would go but hopefully well and without Reborn causing trouble.
Bianchi flinched a bit at the mention of the book being about demons, but hid it well. "I see… so where is this book exactly?"
Tsuna went to his desk and opened one of the drawers, pulling out a large old looking book that could be best described as a Tome. "It's been in my desk drawer since I've moved back here. I'm not sure how old this book is, only that Ruri told me that it's been passed around many times before he got ahold of it." He said as he opened the book and turned to a page that depicted good looking horned men and women with tails, wings and pointed ears. "But considering the names of the demons are written in Latin, I'm assuming it was made somewhere in Italy long ago."
"Oh my… I see." Bianchi said as she looked a bit nervous at seeing the depictions of what she assumed to be Incubi and Succubi before changing the subject. "So this Ruri person you mentioned, I'm assuming that he likes to read a lot, yes?"
Tsuna smiled a bit at the question as he closed the book and put it down on his desk. "Yep, like you wouldn't believe it. The guy is an avid lover of books to the point not much interests him. Course though, if someone were to damage a book in his sight he would get pretty pissed and kick their ass." He said with a chuckle as he remembered some Orcs tried to provoke the Guardian of Yomihara's Demon Gate by attempting to damage some books of his.
People still say they could hear the screams of the Orcs along with Ruri's maniacal laughter.
"Yep, he may not look like it, but Ruri-Kun is pretty strong." Said Rukia as she appeared from nowhere and hugged Tsuna who rolled his eyes at the Frost Demon's antics. "He just prefers to keep to himself and read unless something serious is going on and needs his attention."
Bianchi yelped a bit when the Hell Knight popped up and gave her an annoyed look, but Rukia just smiled mischievously at her, making the pink-haired woman huff in annoyance. "Must you always do that?!"
"Not really, but I just love being affectionate to my master~" She said with a pur before looking at Bianchi with a playful grin. "Maybe if you ever decide to have a lover again you could work on being more sweet and less poisonous." She teased.
That comment irked Bianchi and just as she was able to say something, Nana came into the room.
"My my, you three sure are getting along." She said rather sweetly but there was a red glint in her eyes as she stared at Bianchi. "I hope I'm not interrupting anything am I?"
"O-oh… n-no. N-not at all Nana-san." Bianchi stuttered out a bit. "Tsuna was just talking about this old book he had about demons that was written in Latin that's all."
"That's wonderful." Nana said with a smile. Truth be told she didn't exactly trust the younger woman very much due to what she had heard about her from the others, but she was willing to be fair and save judgment for later. Sure Bianchi reminded her of her sister a bit, but the main difference is that she actually cared about her own sibling and was trying to be genuine about it unlike Felicia who was twisted in the head and had warped views on what was considered "Sibling Love".
She still sometimes had the rare nightmare of what that brat did to their mother and siblings.
"Along with finding out about Reborn's birthday and how it's a day before mine." Tsuna added in. "We could probably do a joint birthday party where we could have his birthday around ten and have mine during the evening or something like that." He suggested and Nana hummed at the idea and agreed to it.
Sure, she had some misgivings about Reborn and didn't exactly trust him but the cursed man did care about her son in his own way. He was certainly a better father figure to Tsuna than Iemitsu could ever be.
"Mhmm, I see. Sounds good to me. I'll call Tsuyoshi to coordinate the food, we can even order some of those blood pops that you like." She teased, making Tsuna blush a bit while Rukia laughed and Bianchi looked confused.
Sensing the confusion, Nana told Bianchi that blood pops were a favorite candy that certain demons liked as they contained an amount of blood in them.
Realization had hit the pink-haired Italian woman's face as she realized that Tsuna and his mother were vampires or at least part vampire.
It certainly explained the hissing, and that Tsuna could've easily killed her if he had wanted to when they first met.
Either way, the Italian Freelancer approved of Tsuna's idea of a joint birthday party and was sending out texts to everyone with the exception of Reborn. She giggled a bit at the surprise waiting for him.
Though, she did wonder what to get for Tsuna. While they got off to a rocky start, Bianchi could see that the half-vampire was a good influence to her half-brother and kept him grounded so she wanted something to give to him as a way of thanks.
She did have some old poison daggers in a secured box that she once used when starting out along with poison recipes. She also had an old pair of steel work boots that were quite useful in deterring creeps and "concerned civilians" who wouldn't take no for an answer or thought she was an easy target all because she was a woman.
Decisions, decisions…
Reborn was rather amused with his birthday party, especially with the chaos that was being sown from an odd Vongola Tradition that Tsuna heard about from him, which made it "okay".
He was quite happy with the gifts, but was quite surprised by one of them being an old Demonology Book written in Latin and upon closer inspection he realized it was an original or at least close to one.
He was obviously gonna keep it, though he was a little confused by the little note he found between some of the pages written to him by some guy named Ruri who expressed interest in meeting a fellow reader.
Tsuna told him that Ruri was a guy who collected books and read them in his spare time.
"He's also one of my grandfather's executives. He's pretty calm and doesn't do much besides reading and collecting books both old and new. I'm sure the two of you would get along just fine." Tsuna said with a shrug.
The cursed hitman didn't know what to make of that, but held his curiosity in for now.
To his disappointment, Tsuna didn't react to the gift he gave him (It was a mafia suit that resembled his complete with the hat and gun) other than rolling his eyes and expressing amusement but it was still a pretty entertaining party nonetheless. Especially since it was hosted at the Dark Tower in one of the unused rooms.
Around evening, the other half of the party started and became focused on Tsuna. It was a pretty smart idea to split the party between the day and evening and he admitted that it worked quite well.
Tsuna was rather happy with the gifts that he got from his friends, especially the manga series from Takeshi that he knew was Trinity Blood along with the Bloodrayne Poster he got from Gokudera that came with a figurine of the main character much to his amusement.
Hibari-senpai gave him some Chinese Language Books and told him to work on his Chinese more, which made him laugh a little.
From Tanjiro and Nezuko, what he got surprised him as the gifts were a handmade Demon Slayer Uniform with a reddish, bat patterned haori with stripes and a Nichirin Sword in the from of an Odachi with an ornate guard that resembled bat wings along with what looked like a pair of Hanafuda Earrings.
Sensing his surprise and shock, Tanjiro spoke with amusement. "Me and Nezuko thought hard and long about what to get for you for your birthday and figured these would be the perfect gifts for you. Consider yourself an honorary member of the Demon Slayer Corps." He said in a joking manner.
"Uh huh, plus think of it as a way of thanks for finding us in our home in the mountains all those years ago." Nezuko piped up with a smile. "Me and my brother probably would've remained as recluses if you hadn't shown up. Think of those earrings as being part of the family. Plus, it never hurts to have a backup weapon in case you lose your sickles."
Tsuna felt rather touched by that and hugged them both, which made people awed and took some pictures much to his embarrassment and to the amusement of the Kamado Twins who just laughed it off.
After that, the party resumed (with Tsuna giving a demonstration of his swordsmanship, causing the blade to turn black the moment he held it but he could've sworn the blade flickered to bright red for a second before turning back) with Tsuna getting some manga and video games from Kyoko, Shizuka and Chrome who kissed him on the cheek and hugged him a bit while blushing.
"Happy Birthday my love." Chrome whispered into his ear. "Just a heads up, tonight is gonna be the best night you'll ever have." She said with a slight grin that looked almost lustful which surprised Tsuna, but made him rather excited.
Soon, the party began to wind down a bit with the last gift Tsuna got was a demonic looking dagger that had a serrated edge to it and glowing red accents. It surprised some and there was a note attached to it.
"To my adorable little nephew Tsuna
Hope you enjoy this Hell Dagger, it's quite useful in cutting up those who you don't like
With love, your cute Auntie Feli
P.S. Hope to see you soon sweetie~"
There were also some cutesy little hearts on it that looked pretty childish to some people and caused them to sweat drop, but Nana had an annoyed look on her face as she read the note and scowled.
She didn't trust Felicia around her son as she had a feeling she would cause trouble, but she knew her son well enough that he could possibly work his magic on her and get the psycho brat to calm down or at least behave and not act like a demon squirrel on drugs.
Either way, the party was very fun and entertaining.
Later that night…
As soon as the party was done, Chrome asked Tsuna to meet with her in an underground room down below saying it was a surprise for him.
Like before, the Dhampir was excited but also a little curious on what the purplenette girl had in store for him.
Opening the door, he saw that it was a large bedroom that looked like it was made to be somewhat romantic looking complete with scented candles and music that sounded sensual yet romantic at the same time.
And in the middle of the heart shaped bed was Chrome along with Ingrid and Mash looking at him with lust and desire in their eyes. To his amusement, all three were wearing color coated bunny suits that looked a bit too tight especially in the chest area.
"Tsuna-kun~." Ingrid purred rather seductively. "It's still your birthday and you've yet to open your final gifts."
"Hehehe, Ingrid's right master~." Giggled Mash as she slid over to Chrome and groped her from behind, causing the purple-haired girl to yelp cutely. "Plus, Chrome's been so anxious in wanting to get fucked by you. You should see how wet she is~." The Homunculus said with a teasing grin as she slowly slid her hand between Chrome's thighs and rubbed them slowly.
"Ahh… t-t-that's… not… t-t-true." Chrome moaned as Mash increased the speed. "Haaa~... I just… w-wanted… to feel… Ahhh~ prepared!" She squealed out from the stimulation as Mash continued to grope and fondle her.
Ingrid rolled her eyes at the sudden yuri moment and got off the bed and slowly walked toward Tsuna. "That's true Chrome my dear, but as a reminder we agreed that I would be the one to be Tsuna-kun's first." She said as she hugged the Dhampir, pressing her large chest to his face and grinning rather smugly. "Plus I know that you've been taking College Level Courses and are already done with High School to begin with, such a naughty boy you are for not telling me~." She teased.
Tsuna's excuse was to grin and grope her chest, earning him some moans from the older demon woman.
He would later have a lot of fun with Ingrid along with Chrome and Mash.
Best Birthday ever!
