13Trip to Tokyo Part 3 - Suspicion
"You let someone get away from you?!"
Tsuna gulped and backed away on a reflect as he suddenly realized who he just said that to.
An angry Hibari Kyouya.
Even from his position a few meters away from Hibari who's leaning on the other side of the wall, Tsuna could feel his deadly wrath and his dark cloud flame emerging around him.
"I. FUCKIN. DID. NOT!"
"Y-Yes! Of course! You didn't! Of course Kyoya!" Tsuna quickly added. "S-so..um...you couldn't see their face or anything. Do you think they're someone….dangerous?"
"Not if I could bite them to death."
Tsuna swear the usual remark sounded more venomous than he even hear it before. Hibari must be REALLY angry for letting someone who managed to injured him get away from him.
"Haha~ But Kyoya didn't use his Gear yet, so they shouldn't be THAT dangerous, right?" Yamamoto grinned to Tsuna.
"Well, yes, that's true. But that's not what I mean. If people like that have been around for a while, why we never get to hear about them?" Tsuna ponder, then turn questioningly towards Gokudera who stood right beside his seat.
Gokudera, who have all the data report remembered inside his head, quickly answered, "There's no official report about people like them from the Tokyo branch. But I'll try asking around for information from the branch guys, Jyuudaime! Turf top! You'll be helping me!"
Ryohei who has been attending Hibari's wound since the conversation start, turn to answer, but didn't stop his hand from working on his sun flame, "Extremely on it! I want to meet those extreme guys again anyway!"
"Umm...Bossu. So we'll be hunting for these mysterious people?" Chrome ask from the sofa, where Lambo has fell asleep in her lap.
"Kufufufu~ So the little lion has finally grow some fangs, I see?"
"It's not that!" Tsuna groaned. "It's just a pre-cautious measure! I'll say it clearly here. We WON'T offend them first until we get to know what kind of people they are, and whether they're ally or enemy. Do you get it guys?"
"Especially you two, Kyoya, Mukuro," he quickly added as everyone else give out response.
"Hmph."
"Kufufufu. We shall see~"
"What happen with you guys?" Yamada enter their shared living room after he have just finished taking his bath, and saw his bandmates attention are all focused on the two who still wear their Sensations uniform and panting badly like they've just ran away for their life.
He just didn't know that they did.
Hikaru slumped himself in the couch, still trying to catch his breath, with Chinen's head popping out from the back of the couch, observing him, but not doing anything. While on the cold floor was Keito, crouched on all four, panting with the same intensity as Hikaru, with Daiki patting him on his back and trying to help him keep his breath steady again. As Yamada walk closer to the two older boy, he could see Keito's face somehow looked he had just been terrorized or something and not even focused on the floor tile that he's facing.
"Oh my God...Scary….*pant*...I don't want *pant* to feel that again….*pant*...no more…." he could hear him mumbling.
Yamada turn to Yabu, Yuya and Inoo, who are seating together in the other couch, with Inoo holding a laptop in his lap between the other two. "Can anyone explain to me what had just happened with them?"
"They were being attacked on their way back," Yabu answered.
Yamada frowned, "By who?"
Inoo smirked as he turn around his laptop to let everyone else on the room see the screen, "You'll be surprised."
The other three who's still manage to stand up turn to look at the screen that shows footage from the two's eye device, and gasped as they saw the familiar figure in the dark picture.
"That scary guy?!"
"Kyoya!?"
"B-but! How could…?!" Yamada walk to get a better look at the screen, and yeah, it's definitely that guy. The scary one from Tsuna's group that they have just meet earlier in the day.
"Why is he attacking you guys? Did you offend him or something?" Chinen asked the still panting Hikaru.
"Heck no! Why would I do something like that!?" he answer with a burst, before falling down on the couch panting again. "He just appear out of the blue and saying he'll bite us to death or something because we're disrupting the peace! Heck, we only pass by!"
"Through the roof," Inoo added.
"You mean out of the black? It was nighttime after all."
"That's not the point, Chinen! And shut up Inoo!"
"There, there, calm down Hikaru-kun. You should just take a rest for now," Yuto use that moment to walk in the room with two water bottle and the medicine kit in both of his hand. After passing one of the bottle to Hikaru who immediately gulped it down harshly, he take his place on the floor near Keito. "C'mon Keito, let me see your wound."
"He use tonfa and moved so swiftly, probably even on par with Chinen and Yama-chan on agility. And he looked like he really intending to take down you two," Inoo said with amused tone as he watch the video footage.
"It's not funny Inoo-chan!" Hikaru shouted angrily. "I swear he was trying to kill us for real there!"
"He really does looked dangerous. Who is he, really? Could it be he's actually bad guy?" Yuya said suspiciously.
"Bad guy? You mean like criminals or something?" Daiki ask as he looked away from Yuto who has been treating Keito's dark big bruise on his stomach.
"Will criminals say they'll bite somebody because they disrupt the 'peace'?" Yabu frowned.
"I don't know. You know I'm the stupid one here," Yuya shrugged.
"But he didn't recognize you guys...right?" Yamada ask the two.
Keito shake his head, "No, I don't think so. He didn't seems to recognize us."
"Well that's good. But still leaving the mystery on why he attack you guys in the first place," Yabu frowned deeply. "If that guy is part of something, could it be that Tsuna-kun and the rest of them also in it?"
"You mean the Vongola?" Yamada asked.
Yabu nodded. "Yeah, that company is REALLY big after all. Either that company is hiding something, or it's just them."
"So we're gonna investigating them down or something?" ask Chinen as he jump and flop down to Hikaru's side.
"What?! No! Please no! I don't want to deal with that guy again! Please Yabu-kun!" Keito suddenly wailing and tearing down.
"Don't move Keito!" Yuto push him back down to the floor as he turn his head at their eldest member. "Why we need to do it anyway? It feels like we're suspecting them on something. Maybe this is just a misunderstanding. Those guys didn't looked like bad guys to me."
Yabu hummed while he consider Yuto's opinion on the matter.
"Yuto have a point there. And it wouldn't be good if we make our business partner looked bad just from a mere suspicion. But just for future precaution, we'll still watch over them, secretly of course, just to make sure our 'job' isn't exposed. Do you get it guys?"
The other 8 nodded at Yabu's order.
"Well if they turn out to be a super villain guy, we have Rangers in our agency anyway~" Yuya grinned after seeing their grim face. Ended with him being hit right in the head by the other two around him.
"Hey, don't hit Yuyan too hard! You'll throw away what's left inside his brain!"
Gokudera and Ryohei is sitting together in the back seat of one of their limousine, where the car gonna take them to Vongola company's headquarter for Tokyo area. Why it's just the two of them you ask?
Well Tsuna was planning to come with the two of them in their original plan, but then a box full of paperworks arrived that morning from Vongola HQ (which Tsuna easily guess must be from Reborn) that have notes that it's need to be attended as soon as possible.
So, today Tsuna is guaranteed gonna cooped up inside his study room in their hotel, with Yamamoto and Chrome helping him, for the whole day.
"Remember not to be LOUD, lawn-head. I don't want to make a scene today," Gokudera say with a growl as the car enter the company's gate and about to drop them in the main lobby. He put his reading glasses back to his pocket and put away all the papers he have been checking on the way.
"Of course I extremely understand Octopus-head!"
Both of them make a silent eye contact, and then walk out of the limousine swiftly as soon as the car stop. In front of the lobby's door, about 7-8 people in full Vongola suits has lining up, obviously waiting for their arrival. But Gokudera didn't give too much attention to him aside from polite nod and greet, as the two of them walk pass them and enter the building, with them following on toes.
"Has everything been prepared?" Gokudera ask to random person near him as they walk to the elevator.
"Yes sir. The preparation for the meeting in another hour has completed. But we didn't know you'll arrive faster, sir. We're truly apologize."
"No need. It's a sudden change after all. Anyway, I want to meet with the 'head' first before the meeting."
The guy man had his eyebrow raised as he heard the codename of their secret leader. "Sure sir. I'll inform him now." He immediately fish out his phone and start making a call as they're now waiting for the elevator to come.
Not soon after they are waiting in the meeting room on the top floor of the building, the door the room opened and a young man with silver hair and a romaji number XII attached in his left cheeks enter the room. He is wearing long sleeved white shirts and pants, plus black vest as he make ways to the other side of the room.
"I'm sorry for making you wait Gokudera-san, Sasagawa-san," he said with small smile as he take the seat right across them.
"Sorry for the sudden closed meeting too, Rand," Gokudera said.
"Extremely nice to meet you again! Do you still keep up your training?!"
Rand chuckled at him, "I've been trying to, Sasagawa-san. There's just so many things I need to take care of here that I'm amazed Tsuna-san manage to do all this on larger scale."
Gokudera snort proudly at the remark, "That's Jyuudaime to you!"
"So? What can I do for you today?" Rand ask again with a more formal tone as he leaned forward to the table. "I'm pretty sure you didn't purposely call me just to have a private chat before our 'formal' meeting later right?"
"Well you sure get that right," Gokudera leaned back into his seat and staring straight into the young man that's around their age. "Do you know anything about people who running around the roof at night with weird costumes and weird weapons?"
Rand's eyebrow furrowed as his head tilted with clear confusion on his face, "Weird?"
Gokudera then told him about what happened to Hibari that night to Rand, "...so then Jyuudaime is wondering do you possibly have any information about those people."
Rand leaned back on his chair himself, and seems to be thinking. "Know that you mention it, there do have been some weird rumour around lately."
Gokudera frowned, "Rumour?"
Rand nods. "I've been hearing some people saying about a group that has been taking care of people who attacks or stalking famous people around."
"Famous people?" Gokudera frowned even more.
"That means they're extremely not a bad guys right!?" Ryouhei said.
"Well from the story I guess I don't think they are? But since they never really involved with criminals that attacks common people, people who ever see them is almost close to none. Because they didn't really have anything to do with our business we never really look into them more though."
"By famous people...do you mean celebrity kind of people?" ask Gokudera with suspicion.
"Yeah. I think it's even spesific group of people. I think the people they're trying to 'protect' is from a spesific agency or something. What was it again...?"
"Then can you have people who have information about it make a compiled report by the end of the day? Have them look into it more if they could too."
Rand smile lightly at the request, "Sure, I'll even have them ready by the time you will go back to the hotel."
A/N : I'm really really really sorry for not updating for a loooooooong time. I've been keeping up with my new work (that I don't like very much) that I don't really have time to write or even have anything to write. DAMN, I hate it when I want to write but couldn't think of anything T^T
But here it is now, this might be a short compared to the chapters before, but I'll try to update sooner now! My other works is on process of updating too. Just waiting from the beta to finish checking it :3
A little bit of information about me, I'll probably start my study in Japan from January next month, So I don't know how often I could update while I'm there. But I definitely won't make it a waste and forget about this story! I promise you that at least!
And thank you for the reviews guys! I'm really happy many people like this story even though it's specific about 2 groups that people might not know one of it XD
Btw, Rand is a character that only appear in the Game Ver. If you're wondering. I never played it myself, so I just imagine what he would be like from the pics and wikia info. Do tell me if you have info about him because he looked like great chara to develop!
