Sawada Home:
Ranma proved to be a much better tutor academically than Reborn, and keeps Reborn out of Tsuna's room, " You do not need to sleep in his room, you are an adult in a two year old body, would you sleep in Tsuna's room should your student be female? "
Reborn winces at that kind of logic, " Where's your Sky? "
" With Tsuna, she stays with him until she falls asleep, apparently, and then Tsuna carries her to her room once he's sure she'll stay asleep, the only exceptions are Thunderstorms, Usagi is terrified of them according to Nana, and when she wakes up due to nightmares, then she'll make her way back to Tsuna's room. " Ranma states.
Two hours later Tsuna emerges from his room, minus Usagi, running a hand through his mocha colored hair, " She's staying with me tonight. Ranma, keep him out of my room, I need to get my shower taken, and Reborn, unless you want to be known as a pedophile you will not watch me shower. "
Reborn pouts, but concedes the point, though he was very concerned about how the teens were already talking about selling blackmail photos about him. The Lackey, Skull De Mort, Cloud Arcobaleno, would be immensely happy to have something on him, not to mention Viper, the Mist Arcobaleno. Ranma was in his last year of High School, and with the help of the Hibari's would be getting a tutor, and they would help him get rid of all his Kami Forsaken Fiancées as well. They also made his girl form Hibari Ranko, while Saotome Ranma had been granted sanctuary by the Hibari family, mostly due to the fact that Kyouya was interested in having a good sparring partner for once.
Juuban:
Sailor's Uranus and Neptune frown as they watch the Inner senshi, wondering where the hell their Hime was. Pluto was keeping mum about things, then again it wouldn't do for them to know too much about the future. What they didn't know was the fact that not even Pluto knew what was going on with their Hime. It was the next day that Tenou Haruka, Sailor Uranus' civilian form sees her Hime's civilian form getting picked up by the Demon Prefect of Namimori Hibari Kyouya, and the female form of Saotome Ranma was with her, the currently red headed martial artist settles into the side car while the Hime gets on the back of the motorcycle behind Hibari-san.
Kaioh Michiru looks at her lover, " Wait, you're telling me the Hime is spending the majority of her time in Namimori, why? "
" I don't know, Michiru. " Haruka admits.
Namimori:
Usagi makes her way through the crowd, thankful that Kyouya was with her, and that she could watch Tsuna kick ass at volleyball. The games were set for after school, hence why she had decided to ditch her senshi, Tsuna needed her more right now. Ranko was at her left, ready and willing to unleash a world of pain on any idiot that messed with his/her Sky. Tsuna's caramel eyes meet Usagi's sapphire eyes, and he makes his way over to the sidelines, " Usagi-chan, I'm glad you're here. "
" Show them all how wrong they are, Tsuna-chan. " Usagi murmurs, letting him pull her close.
Every student present is stunned that Dame-Tsuna apparently has a girlfriend, one that happened to be a real looker too. " Kyouya, Ranko, please keep the Herbivores from getting ideas above their station. " Tsuna says, his Intuition was howling that he needed to make sure the Idiots in his school knew not to mess with his girl. Tsuna would be stunned to learn that in the future it became an actual rule, Do Not Under Any Circumstances Use Vongola Decimo/Neo Primo Vongola's Girl Against Him. Tsuna was terrifying when it came to protecting Usagi.
Running his right hand along her left cheek he heads back out onto the court, his eyes briefly flickering over to where a certain silver haired half Japanese/half Italian teen was hiding. Hopefully Ranko/Ranma could drop some very well deserved Chaos on Reborn for being an asshole of not quite Loki proportions. He leaves the entire student body stunned when he helps his team dominate the mini tournament they ended up playing, and his eyes turn orange as they flicker to where Reborn is hiding. The Hitman is frowning in thought, he hadn't expected Tsuna to actually be capable of playing. He hadn't been previously so what had...Usagi. Tsuna's desire to protect her must have destroyed the seal, or eroded enough of it that Tsuna could live a normal life.
Mama had said that Usagi had only started living with them a little less than a year ago, and that two weeks before she moved in she had apparently showed up at their home, almost broken beyond repair. Seeing his only friend in that state, that had to have been the catalyst for all of this change. His friend had needed him to be her strength, to help her fix what had been broken. It was time to find out about Usagi's home life before she had moved in with Tsuna. There was no hesitance when Tsuna pulls her to himself for a rather chaste kiss. One that the blonde returns equally, it appeared as though Tsuna had already found someone whom could handle being his wife. He slips off, Saotome, and Hibari, could handle protecting the pair while he did some much needed research into why Usagi had felt the need to move out of her parents home.
He's rather stunned when he sees a series of journals left sitting out on her desk with a note addressed to him, saying that he had permission to read these, but not her diaries, those were private. By the time he was done reading Killing Intent was pouring off of him in waves. No wonder she and Tsuna had connected so readily, no wonder she had moved in not quite a year ago as well. Her family had systematically destroyed almost any sense of self-worth with over a decade of negative reinforcement, likely why the Classic Cloud known as Hibari Kyouya was protective of her, or part of it at any rate. Iemitsu just neglected the hell out of his family, Usagi's family made him look like Parent of the Year.
Having Tsuna to talk to must have done wonders for her, someone whom wouldn't judge her, and a female role model that was given the wake up call she needed thanks to Usagi as well. Seeing a child just as broken as her own had been a hard pill to swallow, but Nana had stepped up, and been the older female figure Usagi needed in her life, though Nana had discovered Usagi was hopeless in the kitchen. Instead Nana patiently taught her how to sew, mend, and crochet. Her Tsu-kun was the one that could cook. Reborn manages to pull his Killing Intent back in, but he was pissed. No child should ever be treated like that, it was only because of Nana and Tsuna that Usagi was recovering, and he fully understood why Tsuna, and Nana allowed her to sleep in Tsuna's room now. Tsuna was the first person to not judge her, to accept her as she was.
Reborn knew that if Usagi was threatened in any way thanks to Tsuna being the only legitimate heir left to the Vongola that he would level anything, and anyone in his path when it came to getting her back. Tsuna was scarily similar to Primo, especially in this regard. He hadn't expected Usagi to be such a broken Sky though. It made a certain amount of sense that she would end up with such a powerful Lightning Guardian, getting past Ranma/Ranko would be next to impossible, not to mention the Disciplinary Committee as well. That wasn't taking into consideration Tsuna himself.
At the Hibari home Usagi is curled into Tsuna while Ranma and Kyouya help them with their homework, Kyouya also helps her study to get into Namimori High. The Rabbit needed to get away from negative influences in her life, this included her herbivorous teachers as well. That was when her communicator went off, " Tsuna-chan, you coming this time? "
Tsuna rolls his shoulders, " Might as well, someone needs to keep that fake older rose throwing carnivore away from you. "
Ranma blinks, " Come with me fellow carnivore, I'll explain while Rabbit, and Omnivore do what is needed. "
The pair pack their things up, and both flip onto the roof, " Moon Cosmic Power! "
Tsuna smirks as he had made sure to be holding onto Usagi when she said the transformation phrase, this transformed him as well, into an orange and silver version of Tuxedo Kamen's usual outfit. Using his Flames Tsuna, or Cavaliere del Cielo(Sky Knight) gets them to the problem area. He sets them down gently, making sure to keep close to his principessa(princess). Instinctively he blocks the attack heading towards Sailor Moon, and two new senshi blink at his appearance, " Who the hell are you, and why are you with our Hime? " the one in yellow and dark blue demands.
" Cavaliere del Cielo, and I am her True Knight. " is the reply.
Sailor Moon turns several backflips while they're talking, and curses when Earth's higher gravity causes her to fall at the worst possible time. Cavaliere del Cielo was already moving, and gets to her before the rose that was thrown could even hit the mark, his arms wrapping around her, and rolling them out of the way. Uranus and Neptune leap over to join them, the Inners hadn't even tried to protect her! " Hime, are you alright? " Uranus asks her.
Sailor Moon winces at the mere title of Hime, from Tsuna/Cavaliere del Cielo she didn't mind it, it was a term of endearment from him, but her senshi it was a title. Cavaliere snarls under his breath, " Don't call her Hime, I did not spend the better part of a year fixing the damage done to her by her so called family, and the Inner Court to have you idiots fuck that up. "
The teal haired Sailor Neptune freezes, her blue eyes narrowing, " What Damage? "
Uranus does the wise thing, and backs away from her lover, " Luna tricked her into becoming Sailor Moon, thus starting her ascension to Queen, something she does not want, and that was the straw that broke the camel's back as it were. She shattered because of that, shattered because that damned cat couldn't give her a choice in her own future. "
Neptune is furious at this news, her princess had been abused! Blue flames flicker to life around her, pitching furiously like a storm tossed sea before she turns to the current daimon. Uranus goes after the controller to get the Heart Crystal, and save the poor victim. She knew better than to get in the way of her lover's Tranquil Fury. Pissing off Sailor Neptune was something one should not do! Eudial is stunned when Sailor Uranus goes after her while the senshi other than Neptune just stand there, to be fair even the Inners knew better than to get in Neptune's way when she was that pissed off. Had they known what would be coming their way after she was done with the youma they would have hightailed it. Sailor Moon stays close to Cavaliere, she did not want Tuxedo Kamen(Mask) to get any ideas. Cavaliere was already on the move, grabbing Moon, and leaping up into the air, igniting his flames to stay there.
Eudial blinks, even as she dodges another attack from Uranus, the dusty blonde haired senshi grabs the Heart Crystal, and backflips away, even as Sailor Moon is dropped by Cavaliere, her attack already primed, " Moon Spiral Heart Attack! "
Eudial is forced to dodge that rather than go after Uranus, and Sailor Moon turns a flip to safely land on the ground while Cavaliere smirks before he uses his X-Burner on Eudial. The leader of the Witches Five yelps as she teleports up higher. Sky Flames, that bastard could use Sky Flames? He lands in front of Sailor Moon, his message clear, mess with Moon, and deal with him. Eudial cuts her losses. She was not going to piss off an active Sky simply to retrieve a Heart Crystal, she was not that fucking suicidal, thank you!
Uranus rejoins them, taking a rear guard position, " How bad? "
Cavaliere rolls his eyes, " Principessa, give her the senshi journals you've kept. "
Moon cocks her head to the side, and he understands her silent question, " She, and Neptune can be trusted, Principessa. "
Moon pulls the journals out of her subspace pocket, before handing them to Uranus, Cavaliere meets navy blue eyes with his own burning orange gaze, " Read them, you and Neptune only. They should give you a very good understanding of how her Inner Court, and Luna, has hurt her emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually. The only way you get the same for her civilian life is if you two prove that you care about her as a person, and not as your princess. "
Uranus nods at this condition, and blinks when Cavaliere spins on his heel, and rams his foot into Tuxedo Kamen's gonads with a Flame enhanced kick. " How many fucking times do I have to tell you to stay away from her? "
Neptune has finally destroyed the daimon, and then she turns her ire on the Inner senshi for not doing their damned duty, " Tell your partner that we had to leave. Moon does not like spending too much time in Juuban. " Cavaliere says to Uranus.
" I will, keep her safe, please. " Uranus says.
" To the best of my ability, with my Dying Will. " Cavaliere states, picking Moon up, and flying back to Namimori. They land on the Hibari home roof, and jump back to the ground, allowing their transformations to fade. Usagi curls into Tsuna's side once they reclaim their seats, knowing her Lightning had been filled in by Tsuna's Cloud. Hibari respected Tsuna for the simple fact he protected his future mate.
Sawada Home:
Usagi didn't stray far from Tsuna once they got back home, their homework was done to Hibari's exacting standards, and Tsuna automatically dodges the kick Reborn levies at him, Usagi moving with him. Reborn, now that he knew the truth about how Usagi had come to live with Tsuna knew he would have to take a slightly different approach as Tsuna would kill anyone whom purposely put Usagi in danger, " Answer one question for me, how did you Harmonize with Hibari? "
Tsuna chuckles darkly, " Fake carnivores cornered Usagi in a dark alley intent on taking their pleasure from her. I was with her, and they had captured me, two goons were holding me with my arms behind my back while a third was holding my head still so I would be forced to watch as they raped her. Something in me snapped at the mere thought, and soon they were screaming as though Kyouya was the one biting them to death. Two minutes into my beatdown of the fake carnivores Kyouya showed up, and started biting them to death as well, especially when he saw Usagi's dishevelled appearance. Then she gained his respect when one of them went after him with a knife from behind, it would have been fatal for Kyouya. Usagi took it for him, and thus gained his respect. After that he focused on protecting the Rabbit while I taught those fake carnivores to not mess with what is mine. "
Reborn almost shivers at the dark tone in Tsuna's voice, apparently he broke the seal to protect his only true friend from any females worst nightmare come true. Usagi was cradled into his side protectively, and Ranko currently was up on the roof. Messing with Usagi apparently was not wise.
Haruka and Michiru's Room at Mugen:
Just the first journal alone had both older teens sick to their stomachs at how Luna just steam rolled over their Hime. How Luna didn't care about her feelings, her opinions, and continually told her to stop being a crybaby, and grow up. How Luna belittled her with every seeming compliment out of her mouth, it got a little better with Mercury, but then Mars had been awakened, and the submissive Mercury did nothing to help the Hime. They could see why Cavaliere del Cielo had been pissed when she had been called Hime. They had skipped ahead to when she had been revealed as the Princess, and it was not pretty. She was always found lacking, whether it be she wasn't smart enough, punctual enough, graceful enough, and they threw her being the princess in her face to get her to accept her duty.
" This is horrifying, Ruka-kun. " Michiru says.
" I know, I'm glad she has Cavaliere del Cielo on her side. Michi, we should have revealed ourselves sooner. She has no support among the Inners. " Haruka was pissed, horrified, and sickened at the same time.
Sawada Home:
Reborn leaves Tsuna and Usagi alone to watch some anime, the blonde was not getting pried away from Tsuna anytime soon. Reborn does make sure to tell Gokudera Hayato to not hurt Tsukino Usagi in anyway should she be near Tsuna when he tests him, or the Decimo candidate would make him wish for death to escape the pain he would be in. He's pleasantly surprised to find them watching Naruto of all anime.
Nana is working on some snacks for her Tsu-kun, and his Usagi-chan. She knew when they needed time to decompress, and made sure to give it to them. Reborn was taking his cues from her at the moment, she knew how things worked with the teens, he didn't. He does note that Tsuna had his flames curling around Usagi gently, causing the girl to relax further. When Nana delivers the snacks Tsuna gently disentangles himself from Usagi with a few whispered words, and a kiss on her right temple. It was then Reborn saw that his eyes were orange. He slips out the back, and leaps up onto the roof, " Ranko. "
It was quiet, but carried authority, Reborn notices as he follows his student. " Tsuna, what's wrong? " Ranko asks him.
" I'm not sure, but there's trouble coming, and it's heading for Usagi-chan. "
Reborn blinks, Tsuna's Hyper Intuition was strong enough to detect threats to Usagi as well? " How bad? "
Tsuna's eyes are narrowed, " I barely managed to put her back together a year ago, what's coming, it could break her in a way I can't fix her. "
Reborn and Ranko both freeze at the implications of that one statement. " Shit, I can keep girl form while she's at school, but I can't help her with her duty. "
" Omerta level secret. " Tsuna says for Reborn's benefit, telling the Arcobaleno that he would be filled in when he was better trusted.
Tsuna frowns, looking at them both, " Ranko, there is a way you could help, Usagi-chan will explain later. "
He jumps back down, and rejoins his girlfriend in their marathon, " You handle the night shift, I need to reclaim my male form. Being an aquatransexual sucks. "
Reborn isn't even given a choice in the matter, though he knew the aquatransexual was more than capable of handling anything that came their way, he beat a damned Phoenix God as a teenager for fuck's sake. Yeah, his student was safe with that Sunny Lightning around.
