Chapter 5: The Dark Mist

The day came when Dino, Reborn's previous student came to Sawada Residence. He came to meet the candidate of Vongola and also his junior since he too was taught by Reborn to become a good boss of his famiglia. Ieyuji was surprised of the black people around his house, well that's natural. They faced him, glare him.. who knows.

"Wha-WHAT THE HECK'S GOING ON!?" Ieyuji shouted. He was truly confused on what's happening.

That's when he heard laughter and turned around. He saw his twin brother, Tsunayoshi with his two friends, Gokudera and Yamamoto. Gokudera was having a one side argument to Yamamoto while Yamamoto was just laughing it until they noticed the black people around Tsuna's house.

"What the heck are this people Tsuna?" surprised ask by Yamamoto, smile still in place.

"Mafia people... that would only mean..." Gokudera has a guess on someone.

Ieyuji stared the three until they walked them. Good thing they give way until the door so they can come in and so Ieyuji followed behind the three. When they got in, Nana welcomed them.

"Welcome home Yuji-kun, Tsu-kun. Oh Gokudera-kun and Yamamoto-kun is with you." Nana cheerfully.

"Sorry for the bother Sawada-san" Gokudera bow in respect to Nana with a smile.

"We came to have time with Tsuna, is that okay?" Yamamoto said, well happy to be here.

"Oh of course, I'm gladly welcome you two for Tsu-kun." Nana was happy for Tsuna then switch her attention to Ieyuji, "Yuji-kun there is someone waiting for you on your room, go and see him."

"Huh? Who?" Ieyuji questioned.

"I don't know but he looks so rich to have so many bodyguards outside. He's very handsome and I can't believe you had met someone so sweet and handsome Yuji-kun." Nana said cheerfully.

Ieyuji was surprised by it and run heading to his room until they heard a scream noise from Ieyuji, of course they ignored it. Nana turn back on the two friends of Tsuna.

"Do you want something to eat Gokudera-kun, Yamamoto-kun?" Nana offered that they gladly accepted. She asked Tsuna if he want some too. Even he didn't replied, she just smile and gave them her baked cookies that was just bake.

Up in Ieyuji's room, the man named Dino with Reborn was discussing something to Ieyuji until the three arrive to make a peek, since the door is open.

"Oh so he's your older brother? Oh my, he's lifeless like I had heard." Dino said in a cheer voice that Gokudera got irritated and growl, "Hey, don't ever talk like that to Juudaime or I'll blow you to death!"

"Are you the Smoking Bomb Hayato? Oh my, you got a great subordinate Ieyuji." Dino said happily.

"You actually got that wrong Baka Dino." Reborn said in matter of fact tone.

"Eh?" His word confused Dino.

"Like hell I'll be his subordinate. I only serve Juudaime, no one else." Gokudera said in serious tone.

"Juudaime? But isn't Yuji here is..." Dino was pointing to Ieyuji since from what he had heard, it was him who was chosen so he must be the one that Gokudera was speaking but he was shock when he heard Reborn's explanation.

"Actually, they are Tsuna's friends and subordinates. This Baka Yuji here has no loyal subordinates yet... might as well add that one useless man whom Baka Yuji chosen himself." Reborn explained with a smirk.

"HEY!" Ieyuji was embarrassed to that.

"Wait, are you sure Reborn? But he's..." Dino hesitate. He observed closely on Tsunayoshi but sense nothing, other than blank and lifeless.

Reborn kick his head which made him fall down to his sit, "Don't judge people by its cover stupid Dino. I had seen few of his strength. I can only say he is far stronger than you."

These shock both Dino and Ieyuji. Gokudera smirked while Yamamoto just laughs to it. Tsuna didn't do anything, only holding the tray with a bowl of baked cookies, teas and one espresso which will be serves for them. He walked to the table and put the tray down the table. He serve it to them and left the room. Of course, Ieyuji was glaring at him until he went out to his friends outside the room and went ahead which Gokudera followed and Yamamoto wave a good bye before he went away too.

Speechless happened to the room.

"... Are you sure?" Dino still can't believe Reborn's words about Tsunayoshi. He rarely gives one, except giving information.

Reborn just smirk, well there's still many more interesting things to come.

Soon the family grows, as I-pin and Bianchi now live with them. Tsuna didn't mind, Lambo play with I-pin often and Bianchi feel love to Reborn, which is for Reborn only normal.

Ieyuji sometimes complain about the noise the kids produced but Tsuna protect them without words. Nana believes the house became even livelier than before. I-pin joined Ieyuji's Famiglia. Lambo at first protested and swear to himself he'll take her out of it... on the right time.

Gokudera could somehow hold the pain of his stomach whenever he sees his own sister. Well only an hour and after that, he's down. (Actually, he already overcomes it but with the memories of his self in this world, it disappeared and turns to have a time limit.)

Many more things happened this pass month. From Kokuyo Land, Ken and Chikusa joined Ieyuji's family. Well that makes four subordinates. Mukuro didn't mind if they join, it makes things even more interesting.

This time, Mukuro got an idea that he went to Tsunayoshi's room with Chrome.

"So would you let me, Sawada Tsunayoshi?" Mukuro was excited to his plan to be achieved.

Mukuro was standing in front of their boss, Tsuna who sits on his bed and beside him was Chrome who's standing and looking at her boss, listening to the Mist proposal. Of course, they won't hear any answer but they got a way to communicate with him, by reading his mind which only Mist user could do.

Chrome used her Mist to read his mind. After that, she faced Mukuro.

"Mukuro-sama, Bossu will let you in one condition, don't show yourself and don't reveal anything about you and us." Chrome said with a smile.

Mukuro smirked, his proposal was accepted after all.

"I will." Mukuro finally said before disappearing out of sight.

Tsuna looked on Chrome blankly. Chrome can sense he was trying to say something and began reading it.

Normal day, Ieyuji was being shot by Reborn to run 10 times faster around Nanimori Middle school. Hibari who was watching them didn't mind, he'll just bite him to death when he entered the school ground.

Somewhere dark room, there's someone on the floor unconscious when Mukuro arrived. He studied the person before smirking.

"This guy may be good enough to test him... kufufufu show me what you can do Sawada Ieyuji."

He surround his mist, making them disappear inside the dark room.

Next day, Chrome had announced to everyone about Mukuro's plan and none complain. Hibari on the other hand was getting ready because of his plan. The peace of Namimori will be disturbed and he will bite anyone who disturbs the peace, even if it has to that Pineapple Head himself.

"Also, Bossu has given us a special mission. He informed me last night." Chrome announced.

"Huh? What does Tsuna want from us?" Yamamoto asked as he looked to Tsuna beside him.

They were all currently on the Disciplinary Committee room. All Guardians were there, even Mukuro himself.

Chrome observed each Guardians before announcing them, "Bossu informed me that a certain famiglia kept coming to do something which could endanger the lives of innocent people. The order is to eradicate and prevent them from harming any civilian and make sure none of them could step here again."

Everyone narrowed their eyes. Eradicate means kill but certainly they knew Tsuna has a different vocabulary when comes to that word. For him, it means to put them to judgment.

"What famiglia Juudaime?" Gokudera asked in serious tone, ready to move and as his boss said, eradicate them any moment. Everyone felt the same way too.

Chrome glance on each one of them before answering the Storm Guardian, "Estrano Famiglia."

Mukuro glared on the name as he grip his fist enough, wanting to destroy them. Yamamoto, Lambo and Ryohei's eyes widen for a bit before narrowing their eyes.

"How come they're still alive? As far as I remember, they should be gone because when I came to this world, Byakuran came to me and return my Earring of the Mist. I made sure to destroy them when I remember everything and of course with clean execution with caution after knowing the Vindice could come and jail me again." Mukuro said, narrowing his eyes even more.

Tsunayoshi turn to Chrome, knowing he wanted to say something. Chrome read his mind and turned to them.

"Bossu told me that Estrano Famiglia has another headquarters other than the building you came from Mukuro-sama. It seems that was the difference between the Estrano here and back home. Their last headquarters was actually near here and Bossu told me he already destroyed that headquarters due to rage that he ended up burning all of them alive."

Everyone was shock to learn that. They knew Tsuna hardly get angry, especially to other people still when it comes to something about crossing the line it's something else which they would admit, they fear it.

"Tsuna-nii that's too reckless!" Lambo can't help but almost yell it.

"Did any Vindice come to you Sawada?" Ryohei asked.

Tsuna remain silent. Chrome read again his mind before answering the Sun Guardian, "He wasn't found."

All sigh in relief, glad that those dead moving corpse like Vindice didn't found his action which could lead to worst.

Chrome continued what she left behind, "Also... they're still active somewhere far from Namimori. Bossu wanted to finish them right away."

Everyone nod, accepting the decision of their boss.

Chrome faced the Cloud Guardian, "Bossu asked you Cloud Guardian to lead this operation." Hibari nod, accepting it. She turned to the Storm Guardian, "Bossu asked you Storm Guardian to keep an eye on their every movement."

Gokudera smirked, "As you wish Juudaime"

Mukuro seems disapprove about this, "Sawada Tsunayoshi what's the meaning of this? I can handle them on my own, why give it to that Skylark?"

Chrome answered as Tsunayoshi's speaker, "Because Bossu doesn't want to endanger you, especially to them. Bossu said we can't make any sudden and inappropriate action at all cost... Mukuro-sama, Bossu's message for you... 'It is a hard decision but please hear me out Mukuro'... Bossu told us to make sure not to kill."

Mukuro who first can't accept just sigh and accepted his decision. Mukuro knew how Tsunayoshi care for his family, he will never let them go to any danger alone. He understood and just obeyed.

Chrome smiled, glad Mukuro-sama understood.

"Lambo, Bossu can't come to this mission so can you watch over him for us?" Chrome asked the youngest Lightning Guardian.

Lambo just sigh, "Yare yare, if that's Chrome-nee wanted me to do then that's fine."

"We're counting on you in EXTREME Lambo." Ryohei said as he offers his fist on Lambo.

Lambo smirked and bump fist with him. "Leave it to me Ryohei-nii." Lambo said with serious and pride.

They once again look to Tsunayoshi. Gokudera bow down, "We'll begin the operation Juudaime."

Tsunayoshi didn't reply but they know he's smiling and telling them, 'be careful and come back home.' He always say that which tells them to come home alive, no matter what.

Five days later, Reborn got news about a group of people being piled up in front of the police station. Reborn recognized some of them and turns out those people were all from Estrano Famiglia. They were beaten as they were left there. They said it was the group of black people done it to them, trying to make themselves innocent but won't work. They left some evidence about their activity, leaving them to be prison and to be investigating even more.

The other mafia took more careful measure of this incident to prevent themselves from being revealed. Reborn smirked when he witnessed some beating from one of the Estrano Famiglia. It was Tsunayoshi's Famiglia doing. Reborn witness the strength of his Rain Guardian, Yamamoto Takeshi with his way of the sword.

'They are full of crazy and interesting people'

Reborn after witnessing that gave more than triple training to Ieyuji which is for him, a death sentence. Ieyuji was unaware of someone's presence observing him. Reborn however felt it and look on the location of the presence. He saw no one but he knew someone was there. He pulled down his fedora, hiding his suspicious eyes from sight.

Somewhere dark, someone was standing within the shadow inside the abandoned building. This person was panting and from the voice, its identified to be a man. His condition must be tired when another person came but hiding on this person's sight.

"So, what do you think?" The mysterious voice asked the tired occupant.

The person looked around and as expected, he can't find the person. He smirked and answered, "He's a weakling Vongola. He can easily be killed."

"Is that so..." The voice said. That voice wanted to chuckle in amusement but control it. The voice asked, "What do you plan to do?"

The person began to evilly laugh and spoke, "Kill him. I'm so happy you saved me back there. Now I'm fully okay, what do you want me to do to repay that kindness of yours?"

The voice didn't answer quickly. The person waited for his reply until the voice answered, "I will say that later, for now, do as you wish."

The person grinned, "When will you show yourself and introduce yourself to me?"

"On the right time, it happened not now." The voice answered, giving the room a silence atmosphere and the voice spoke again after a long silence, "We'll meet again, fellow mist user, Kuromishi Sadao."

The presence of the voice disappeared, leaving the person name Kuromishi Sadao behind, panting but smirking.

"I'll see you soon then... mist savior... now, to kill the Decimo."

Next day evening on the street, Ieyuji was having a night run but no ordinary run. He was being chased by the group of bees and in his back was a small honey on it. Reborn was riding on the big dog that happened to be there and watching the struggle of Ieyuji from his running. He looks having fun on the situation.

"Run faster if you don't want to be caught up with them" Reborn said with a smile.

Ieyuji glare at him and yelled, "I won't be in this situation if you didn't start it!"

"What are you talking about? This kind method is actually helpful for your training." Reborn said... innocently.

"What method is this effective!?" Ieyuji yelled back.

As both run, Reborn had felt that presence again and little minute, a slashed happened to the group of bees, killing them instantly. Ieyuji stop running and turn around who done that. There a man stood up with a lance weapon in hand. He was wearing a violet shirt, dark blue jacket and black pants. He has a black hair, red eyes and scar on his cheek. He looks like around seventeen. He has a smirk on his lips as he stare on the candidate.

"Nice meeting you Vongola Candidate boss." the man spoke.

This alert Reborn about this suspicious man. He can feel dark intention and from how he appeared to be a mist user. Reborn transform Leon to his gun and pointed the gun to him.

"Who are you?" Reborn straightly asked.

The man chuckle and instead of answering, he run forward heading to Ieyuji and was about to stab him but fortunately, he able to dodge it.

"Who are you? What do you want from me!?" Ieyuji asked, now really angry on the sudden attack.

"Your blood." The person answered the second question.

Ieyuji was bit surprised, "Wha-what do you want with my blood!?"

That person ready himself to attack again.

Reborn sigh and clarified, "He wants you dead Baka Yuji."

Ieyuji got irritated on Reborn and raised his voice, "I know but that's not what I meant! Why does he need me dead?"

"Mafia must disappear!"

He attacked once again and Ieyuji moved right to avoid his weapon. The attacker felt disappointed and stood straight.

"Is this all the candidate boss can do? You disappointed me." He said in disappointment tone. Ieyuji's irritation is increasing, "Huh!? Just who are you anyway?"

The man smirked and raised his lance to introduce himself, "I'm Kuromishi Sadao, the one who will eradicate all of you. I will destroy first the strongest and next is all of you."

"Kuromishi Sadao... never hear of this guy." Reborn murmured but kept watching the situation.

The man name Sadao swing his lance to the side and spoke, "A weak like you is easy to be killed, heh such a weak prey."

Reborn smirk and point the gun to Ieyuji, "Die Baka Yuji."

Reborn shoot him with dying will bullet and hit his forehead which made Ieyuji fall down the ground. Sadao turn around and saw the infant who shoot his target.

"Did you just steal my prey?" Sadao asked as he narrowed his eyes on the infant.

Reborn point up his gun and use it to pull up his fedora and smirk. Not understanding the meaning, Sadao felt a sky flame behind him. He turns around and it was too late, he was punched by Ieyuji in his dying will mode, although he's in his boxers. He almost fell on the ground but he used his left hand to touch the ground and push up to sat on the next landing on the ground. Sadao stood up and smirk.

"Nice punch, although you are still imperfect." Sadao said. Ieyuji kept glaring and shouted, "REBORN, I'LL KILL HIM WITH MY DYING WILL!"

Sadao chuckle, "Can you? Heh, you are still incomplete! You have no chance, that's why... I will give you one."

"Are you mocking me!?" Ieyuji growled.

Sadao smirk, "Tommorow, same time at Nanimori Mountain, I'll be waiting."

Sadao used his lance to stab the ground and became mist. He disappeared on their side. Ieyuji's dying will lose effect while Reborn was looking on the place he had disappeared, thinking about something.

They soon got home and eat dinner. The dinner was silence, except the kids. Lambo may be mature but in order not to make everyone suspicious (except Reborn and Ieyuji), he will act one. Besides, he also enjoys keeping I-pin company.

Reborn was eating quietly. He was still thinking about that man named Sadao. Ieyuji don't seem to mind as he continue eating. Reborn kept thinking when had felt someone was staring him. He looked around and surprisingly, it was Tsuna who stopped eating and was staring him, even it was blank. Reborn could see the hidden feeling of worry. Reborn smiled, telling him not to worry and just eat. Tsuna understood so he return back eating. Reborn was thankful to Tsunayoshi, even if he won't admit it. Reborn now focus on eating and think about it later.

Next day in the side of the school building, Ieyuji and Mochida were both arguing about something.

"Like you can order me around Yuji! I will never follow you until I win Kyoko's heart." Mochida yelled to Ieyuji.

"Like I need you damn Mochida! Also, Kyoko will be mine, not yours!" Ieyuji shot back.

Both were glaring on each other, not liking a single one of them to full back when they felt someone watching them. They both turn right and saw Tsunayoshi, looking at them blankly. He was carrying a garbage bag, indicating he went there to put the garbage bag on the side where the full of garbage bag being collected.

"Why are you here Soulless brother?" Ieyuji asked, not liking to see him.

Tsunayoshi didn't answer as always. He just walk heading to his destination. He passed through them and put the garbage bag on its rightful place then back to them, staring at them blankly.

"What are you looking at?" Mochida asked to Tsunayoshi, not really in the good mood.

Tsunayoshi didn't answer and just walk heading to them. He was about to pass through them when Mochida thought something and looked on Ieyuji.

Ieyuji understood the meaning of his silent words and both smirk, they both had agreed on something. Both looked on Tsunayoshi who was already bit distance from them.

Mochida took out his bamboo sword from his back and run, heading to Tsunayoshi. Mochida was planning to hit Tsunayoshi.

Tsunayoshi slowly turn around, knowing the incoming attack but instead of Tsuna who will protect himself, someone defended his place. This shock both Mochida and Ieyuji, the one who protected Tsunayoshi from Mochida's attack was none other than the fearful school prefect, Hibari Kyoya.

"Herbivore" Hibari growl as he protected him using his right tonfas.

Hibari swing the left tonfas and hit Mochida on his face, making him fly on the side and slam on the wall.

Ieyuji's eyes were wide open, thinking about one thing. 'Where did he come from?'

Mochida slowly looked up, seeing Hibari standing beside Tsunayoshi.

Tsuna didn't react on what happened, he only stared them blankly. Hibari glance on the other person which was Ieyuji.

Hibari glared really deadly, "Dare to harm him and I'll bite you to death. Even if you are this Omnivore's twin brother, I will not hesitate to do so. Remember that weak Herbivore."

Ieyuji tremble in fear and nod multiple times, fearing to be bitten to death by the school prefect. Hibari turned around to face him. Tsunayoshi only stared before turning around to walk away. Hibari didn't talk anymore as he hid back his tonfas and followed him from behind. That left both of them from their place.

Reborn was watching hidden within the shadows above the tree, fascinated by Hibari's action. Reborn knew that every time Tsuna was walking alone inside the school or outside (Whenever Yamamoto has practice or Gokudera has something to do), either Ryohei or Hibari was watching him. They were all really trained to protect him from anyone who dares to harm. A very good quality of the boss's Guardians.

From below, Mochida can't seem to stand up from the impact of his back. He was thinking about something that really he can never understand.

"When did Hibari-san become overprotective to that Soulless Tsuna?" Mochida question himself.

Ieyuji heard him and confused at the same time, angry.

'Why is it always him?' Ieyuji asked mentally. There is a mix of jealousy on that tone too.

Night came in Nanimori Mountains. Both Ieyuji and Mochida were arguing for some reason. I-pin was just standing there, watching the two argue. Reborn was with her but both never spoke a word. Finally both Ken and Chikusa came.

"Hoy Vongola why the heck did you call us here!?" Ken shouted which stop the two from fighting.

Ieyuji looked on the two and frown, "Don't tell me Reborn also called you two here?"

Chikusa pull up his glasses and nod.

"Looks like all of you are here."

All attention turn to the person who spoke, Reborn.

"Reborn just what the heck is happening?" Ieyuji asked, not liking they're here.

Reborn kicked Ieyuji's forehead, hard enough to make him fall down.

"Do you remember the guy yesterday? He's coming to attack you again and I want to know each one of these individuals if they can defeat him, unlike you." Reborn said.

"Oh, you mean testing us huh baby." Mochida said, ready for the challenge as he took out his bamboo sword and sway it around like no end.

Reborn didn't mind him or more like he ignored him.

"So he is weak that you called us to help him?" Chikusa calmly asked the Sun Arcobaleno. Reborn smiled, "Something like that."

"Hoy!" Ieyuji yelled.

That's when they felt another presence. They took their position, except Reborn who was standing and watching. A mist came, revealing a person in front of the group. He came, Kuromishi Sadao.

"I came to have some fun Candidate Vongola."

I do not own Katekyo Hitman Reborn
