Chapter 15: Flying Fish

'Persistent disciplinarian!' Tsuna cursed inwardly as he hopped from one roof to the other, evading the black-haired killer running after him. The chase began exactly 12:00 AM  when a prefect entered a five-star hotel, beat the crap out of the hotel's security and barged in the room of an innocent civilian. Tsuna was even dressing up at the time, but since he saw his 'friend,' he agreed to fight at the roof top without a hat to spare. Too bad, the man was too stubborn to accept defeat or even a firm tie of strengths because Cielo has other places to visit."Don't you get tired of fighting? We fought for like six hours now!"

"Stop running and fight me Omnivore." Hibari said as he threw a purple hedgehog at the brunet's direction, hitting the crown of the newsboy cap.

"Kyuuu~!" The hedgehog squeeled, it's back stuck firmly at the hat while it held the other end of his owner's weapon. Unfortunately, Tsuna didn't noticed this until he got tugged back, away from his location.

"Hiieee!!" Tsuna screamed when he fell on his back holding his hat. Looking above, he sees a cute spiky mammal. "Roll~! Get off of Nuts!" Removing the male hedgehog was easy, the hard part was to escape it's incoming master. 'I have no time for this!'

"Gao~?" Two teary orange-colored eyes popped out from the yellow newsboy cap. Tsuna coaxed it with a gentle pat, running as fast as his two feet can carry him (Imagine a fat man filled with adrenaline and is running away from his greatest fear) towards his long awaited destination. 'Here I come!'

------------------------------Meanwhile in the Sawada Residence----------------------------------------------

"Lambo-chan's so happy today! Why is that Yatsu-kun?" Nana questioned happily to her grouchy son, placing another plate beside the cow-suited child. 'And I thought you were going somewhere far away...'

"I don't know..." Ieyatsu muttered, still in a foul mood because of yesterday. "Where's Tsuna by the way?"

"Doing some errands for me so I can have more time with you today Yatsu-kun." The mother answered, nobody seemed to notice her lie because of her facade. Heading inside the kitchen, Nana prepares a plate of fried eggs for the visitor.

*DING DONG!*

"Will you get the door Yatsu-kun? Mama's a bit busy here." Nana giggled slightly, knowing fully well who the person outside is. 'You nearly gave your poor mother a heart attack from your call yesterday.'

*DING DONG! DING DONG! DING DONG! DING DONG!*

Ieyatsu was about to open the door until the door was smashed opened by the hasty guest; a black-haired newspaper boy. Hurriedly, the teenager entered the room without noticing the damage he created (When the door toppled Ieyatsu, the teenager stepped on it normally.) All the occupants continued to eat, not minding to help their fellowmen nor greet the visitor. Chrome was the only one watching how Nana served the foreigner with unnatural care.

"Let's go Lambo, Chrome." Tsuna said in a light voice (Imagine ten-year old boy voice), lifting the child with his left hand while the other, stabbing a newly-fried egg made by the gentle hostess of the house. "Thank you very much for the food ma'am, I'm off."

After leaving newspaper by the table, the teen ran outside (again stepping on the door brutally). Chrome stood up and did the exact same thing the teen did; step on the broken door/Ieyatsu.

"That's the least I can do for Yatsu-kun's friend." Nana waves goodbye then looked around with a confused expression. "Ara? Have you seen Yatsu-kun?"

"Help me-!"

"Nope. Haven't seen him at all." Reborn stated reassuringly, jumping on top of the broken debris which the next Vongola Boss is under. "We'll let you know when we find him."

"Okay then." Nana hums a familiar song as she heads inside her room (Familiar song = Aoi Yume.) Hearing the door close, Reborn kicks his student out of the rubble.

"Get up Dame-Yatsu. Time for some spying." Reborn said, thoughts still lingering from yesterday's meeting. Glad that he was able to acquire victory from his opponent.
----------------------------------------------Yesterday's meeting (After Tsuna Left)-------------------------------------------------------

"A shame that he had to leave so soon." A mafia boss said, shaking his head sadly. "We even prepared some feasts and shows for him."

"Get going trash." Xanxus spoke up, throwing a wine glass at his rain guardian. 'I'm starting to get hungry.'

*Crash!*

"VOOOIIII!! CAN'T YOU HIT SOMEONE OTHER THAN ME??!!" Squalo screamed furiously, his long white hair wet with wine.

"Shut it shark scum." This time Xanxus was preparing to walk away.

*Crash!"

"VOOIIII!!" And with the two bickering outside (more likely the swordsman), the Varia followed suit.

"HE SHOULD JOIN THE BOXING CLUB TO THE EXTREME!!" Ryohei said with enthusiasm in his voice, punching upward at thin air. "BUT I EXTREMELY FORGOT HIS NAME!!"

"Did you really train him Reborn?" A green-haired scientist asked, covering his ears with thick headphones. "Well. It is you we're talking about after all."

*Bang!*

"You were saying?" Reborn tilted his fedora down, a dangerous aura around him.

"Calm down R-Reborn." The Chiavarone boss tried telling, half-fearful for his life as well.  I don't think he really means it-"

*Bang!*

"You stay out of this Useless Dino." Reborn can hear the insults of the scientist loud and clear (Even if some of it is said in his mind), Reborn won't allow Verde to come out of this place uninjured. Not this time.

"...." The Cervello looked at the other and nodded then all at once, they disappeared like ninjas. (Again)

"Shall we go now Byakuran-sama?" The green-haired man asked, bowing down to show some respect. Byakuran, however, was just sitting on a white chair holding a huge marshmallow pack.

"Not until I see the Acrobalenos shed some blood first Kikyo." Byakuran was able to say, stuffing huge amounts of candy inside his mouth. The albino felt a bit sad that he wasn't able to captur-recruit the male into his group but there was this strong sensation in him that foretells that he will be able to meet 'Cielo' again if he continues to bug the next-in-line Vongola boss. 'Aren't you a sly little fox? Cielo.'

"Duty calls Bermuda-sama...." A man wearing dark clothes and a top hat quote, appearing beside his two superiors.

"I see...." The child sitting on the other man's shoulder said. With this approval, mist came in before them and after the fog disappeared, they were gone.

"We wasted too much time here....Colonnello." Lal Mirch sighs, checking her watch. "I bet you haven't even started on your paperwork this month."

"E-heh....What made you say that kora?" The small blonde scratches his head absent-mindedly, a stupid grin on his face made the female even more rageful.

"Idiot! We're heading back right now!" Lal ordered, kicking her student on the stomach. Watching him land on the opposite wall, she continues her threat. "And don't even think of escaping."

"The things I do for love kora...." The blonde soldier groans, trying to pull himself together. Colonnello's voice wasn't small enough, letting his ex-teacher hear him and think that that was an insult.

"Why you-" Lal's cheeks began to turn pink, pulling out a missile, she plans to hit him very badly this time (Not that bad to kill him, but wound him? Yes.)

"We got better business to attend to..." One of the mafia bosses announced, a bit envious at the trio with their success. The trio didn't seem to mind about the unwanted attention, but it seems that they are concentrated in another topic relating to their wish. Time passed by, and the cloud user got fed up with all the people inside the room.

"Crowding herbivores..." Hibari uttered as he  walked away, fiersome yet prideful (The in-your-face) sense. The illusionist looked around, finally realizing the other populance in the room and decided to leave as well.

"....." Chrome just picked Lambo up, and as if they weren't even there, they vanished (Mist illusion powers.)

"Jyuudaime.....Are you okay?" Gokudera asked, slowly going to his friend's area. Ieyatsu was standing up with his hands clenched, furious at the vanishing act of the hitman host. Supposedly, lots of people would laugh at this antic but the bosses didn't, because they too were fooled in many different ways by the brunette.

"Yeah...." Ieyatsu nodded, finally calming down and accepting defeat. "I'm just tired that's all..."

"That damn hitman! Always thinking that he's right." Gokudera fumes, pulling out his dynamites. "When I see him again, I'm gonna-!"

"But what if he's right?" Ieyatsu asked, his head hung low. "What if there really was assassins planning to kill my family and I wasn't aware of it? I don't want that to happen I...." Ieyatu didn't need to continue his sentence any further, his right-hand man already knows what's next.

"Ma~ Don't let his words get into you, Yatsu." Yamamoto said, swinging his arm over the blonde's shoulder. "I think he's just saying that so you would go apologize to Lambo when you come back home."

"You're right....Thanks Yamamoto." Ieyatsu looked up with a false smile at the baseball player. 'But I doubt that was the subject Cielo was referring to....'

"No prob." Yamamoto grinned, looking at how Gokudera's expression change into rage.

"Stay out of this baseball-loving idiot!" Gokudera was not pleased at all when he noticed the exchange of his two 'friends' and how Yamamoto cheered his boss up. "Jyuudaime! Let's hurry back before Reborn notices."

"Heh? Why-" Ieyatsu turned his head a bit to see the two Acrobalenos fight an intense match (Bullets vs. machines.) 'If Reborn loses, he'll make my life ten times worse. If Reborn wins but doesn't feel satisfied with the outcome, he'll still make my life worse. Why can't I have a normal life?!'

"Woohoo! Let me join the race too!" Yamamoto said, jogging after his frightened friend and a cussing bomb thrower.

"Stop following Jyuudaime!" Gokudera screamed, already outside the general area for anyone to notice. ""

"Too late! See ya in the finish lines!" Yamamoto challenged, lifting Ieyatsu with him. "To the house~!!"

"TOO FAST YAAAMMMMOOOTTTTOOO!!!"

---------------------------------------End of flashback and to Lambo's area------------------------------------------------------

"Gya hahahaha~! Lambo-san is the greatest!" Lambo declared happily, noming off his grape-flavored cotton candy. The brunette who dyed his hair black temporary decided to go inside the park where he watched the child winner do weird stunts to please his female companion. After some time, a stomach growl was heard and immediately, Lambo orders him to get random pastries he could think of. Tsuna kept running (Running = Teleport) back and forth, only giving the best of the best to Lambo. Within the search, Tsuna also insists Chrome to accept his excess food that he knows are her favorite. Also, Tsuna met Hibari once again and had to run all the way to the mountains to lead him off his trails.

"...." Tsuna nodded without really hearing what the child actually said, looking up at the dark skies with a distant look. 'It's going to rain soon whether I like it or not. Oh well, the world does need a cleanse of it's sins once in a while....right?'

"Now Lambo-san wants to touch the clouds." Lambo said in a high pitch voice, pointing up at the sky. Tsuna just faced him with an amused look and laughed.

"Sure. Want to come along Chrome?" Tsuna pats Lambo's head as he asked purple-haired illusionist. "I'll give you a ride home if you want."

"Uh...." Chrome was staring at a funny bush before paying attention to Tsuna. "Won't anyone notice a newspaper boy flying up at the sky, carrying two people with him?"

"The skies covered with clouds." Tsuna said, waving his hands confidently. "We'll just use that to our advantage. Oh and I see you've found an interest to looking at funny noisy bushes. A great way to spend your time away."

Obviously knowing that the bush contains his brother and his other two faithful guardians, Tsuna stands up placing Lambo on his shoulders and igniting a hard orange flame on his forehead. 'Forgive me for this Mukuro, I hope you'll understand.'

"C-Cielo-kun?!" Chrome yelped as Tsuna made her fall to carry her in a bridal position, a bright red color easily infiltrates her face. "W-What is the meaning of this?!"

"I'm not taking NO for an answer." Tsuna shows his flashy smile at the female, making her blush even harder. "Le Go~!"

As the two screamed in terror when the teen went off in super speed, they began to enjoy the ride when they were getting a hang to gravity. On the ground, a baby hitman came out from the trees wearing a pinecone outfit. Throwing a stone at the funny bush with such accuracy, he heard the yell of his student.

"That was one of the worst spying I have ever seen." Reborn comments, throwing another stone at the emerging trio. "He knew you three were there seven hours ago."

"It was the Yakyuu-baka fault we got caught!" The smoker accused with several angry veins on his face.

"But you should really see the squirrels here, they were so cute." Yamamoto points out, showing a one-year old squirrel to his friends.

"No excuses!" Reborn throws his last rock and prepares with his gun this time.

"Wait! Reborn! NNOOooo!!" Ieyatsu's scream was the last thing Tsuna heard as he accelerates towards the thickest clouds.

'Poor Nii-san.... Having a demanding hitman for a tutor. Well, at least it isn't uncle....Uncle.' Tsuna shivered slightly, still remembering all the 'good' times he had with the man. 'I wonder how the two will react up here? Seeing their amazed look, I'm not surprised."

"Clouds doesn't even taste good!" Lambo complained like a spoiled child, hugging Tsuna's cap he yawns. "Lambo-san's sleepy now....Take Lambo-san home..."

"Okie-dokie." Tsuna looks down at his blushing maiden next. "You happy Chrome?"

"Y-Yes...." Chrome muttered, still blushing but in a softer tone. 'So this is how boss feels when he flies away to think...'

'In this place, I wonder where's Kokuyo land...' Tsuna looked around the area and zoomed off, his feet wearing some hi-tech flame releasing boots. 'It's getting pretty late so I better hurry.'

"Don't drop me please...." Chrome whsipered, looking down to see tons of spiky trees and various-shaped rocks. "Not up here...."

"Of course not." Tsuna snickered, landng on the roof skillfully. "Mukuro will kill me if I do that. And remember, that's not what friends do to each other."

"I hear someone upstairs dokapi!" Tsuna looked at that direction, hearing foots steps as well on the source of the sound coming near their location.

"See you in Monday~" Tsuna said, jumping right back up the clouds. Chrome nodded, looking at the door slammed opened by her friends indifferently.

"Where the hell have you been byon?!" Ken said, angry yet relieved to see Chrome.

"It's night time Ken..." Chikusa said in a monotone voice. "Shut up.."

"There's food by the fridge if you're hungry byon...." Ken sleepily added, walking away with Chikusa.

"Ken....Chikusa." Chrome whispered, seeing how the two went back inside with the door open. Smiling softly, she walks  inside the building with a happy thought. 'Today wasn't bad. I think Tsuna-kun enjoyed too.'

---------------------------------------------Sawada Residence, 8:00 PM----------------------------------------

"Tadaima Okaa-san." Tsuna greeted, his newly-changed clothes soaking wet with the cloud journey. "I brought Lambo home."

"Did you get the ingredients?" Nana asked, slicing the celery swiftly. "The ones I was asking for?"

"Yup." Tsuna brought out after he puts Lambo on the couch. "How was Nii-san's day?"

"Oh the usual." Nana laughed, telling her son something using her eyes. "You know how your brother works, always playing around with friends."

"I see...." Tsuna yawned. Placing the plastic bag on the counter, Tsuna walks upstairs to dry up but not before replying back to his mother. "I got the message. I'll do it tomorrow."

"Where is Tsuna-nii?" Lambo asked sleepily, waking up from his wonderful sleep.

"In his room why?" Nana wondered, watching as Lambo started crawling down the couch. "Are you going to sleep with Yatsu-kun now?"

"I don't want Baka-Yatsu, I want Tsuna-nii." Lambo yawned, climbing the stairs with effort. "Baka-Yatsu doesn't care for Lambo-san at all, Tsuna-nii does..."

"If you say so." Nana laughs softly, "My sweet little Tsu-kun, how will you handle this now hmm?"
