Chapter 15
Sakura Blossoms
Just the sight of one another, just the sight of our smiles was enough to fill our hearts with the joy of seeing each other again.

You're welcome.
Here's Chapter 15: Sakura Blossoms
The next day, Tsuna, Reborn and Bianchi left, saying they were going to an amusement park.
"It's a really good discount for parents and one child." Reborn lied, smoothly. "So I'm Dame-Tsuna's daddy, Bianchi's the mommy and then Dame-Tsuna is our no-good brat."
Bianchi gushed over the idea. "Oh, Reborn, it'll be as I've always dreamed..."
Bianchi dreams of being married to a baby Reborn, with Tsuna as the kid and going to Kokuyo Land, the old, abandoned amusement park, for fun? ...she's weirder than I initially thought.
Tsuna sweatdropped. "Am I the only one that finds that wrong?"
I raised my hand. "Actually, I find it incredibly disturbing."
Nana, however, seemed convinced that it would be fine, and went along with it. "Oh, then have fun, Reborn-kun, Bianchi-chan, Tsu-kun!"
I sighed. "I really can't come?"
Tsuna's expression shifted to one of seriousness. "No, Yuni. You can't get hurt. You're only a little kid, and I'd never be able to forgive myself if you were hurt."
I facepalmed. Such an intense shift in character...
Reborn nudged me. "You can come, later. I'll call you."
I nodded. "Okay."
Tsuna sulked. "I gave such a cool speech, only to be ignored..."
I laughed, patting Tsuna's head. "There, there."
I-Pin and Lambo left about lunchtime, saying something about 'Reborn telling us to follow Haru and Kyoko'.
That's right, didn't Adult!I-Pin, Adult!Lambo and Shamal (creep.) save Haru and Kyoko from the Bloody Twins?
The phone rang, loudly.
"I got it, Mama!" I cried, skipping to the phone. "Hello, this is the Sawada Residence, Yuni speaking."
"Yuni." a voice crackled over the phone. "It's me, Reborn."
"Oh, hi, Reborn-ojii-san!" I beamed. "Can I come now?"
"Yeah. Tsuna just took out Lanchia. We're heading up to face the real Rokudo Mukuro now." Reborn affirmed. "Be careful on your way here, though. And when you arrive, stay out of sight."
"Okay." I nodded. "On my way."
I hung up the phone before squealing. "Ahh, I felt like so mafia just now~"
It took about ten minutes to get to Kokuyo Land, after I borrowed (read: stole) some kid's bike, leaving a handful of cash behind. What? I was the daughter of a mafia boss. I had good allowance.
I saw Yamamoto (shoved under a bush. Talk about trolling.), and I checked up on him. He was breathing normally, so I took that as a good sign. I shoved him (after a lot of hard work. Damn, he was heavy.) back under the bush.
I was about to enter the building, you know, to the next floor, when the glass shattered, Ken flying out. He had a giant gash streaking across his cheek.
I paled. "K-Ken?"
Chikusa soon flew out the window to join him. He was beaten and bloody, glasses broken.
"C-Chikusa?!"
I checked on them, too. They were breathing slightly hard, but I could tell it would regulate out.
I ran up to the next floor, to see Hibari-sama and Gokudera limping their way across the room.
"Gokudera-san! Hibari-sama!" I squeaked, running forward to help them. But then again, I was four. I probably hindered them, more than anything.
"Y-Yuni?" Gokudera gasped. "Why the hell are you here? Juudaime let you come?!"
"Midget." Hibari grunted. "I gave you specific orders. I'll bite you to death."
They both seemed relatively pissed.
I sweatdropped at that. "Err, Reborn-ojii-san told me to come."
That cooled their jets.
Gokudera sighed. "If Reborn-san told you to come, then I guess it's not your fault..."
Hibari just pointedly looked away.
That hurt.
...but not as much as it (quite literally.) could've.
I helped Gokudera up the ladder first, since he was in better shape, so he could help up Hibari.
"Are you both alright?" I asked. "I brought a first aid kit. I can provide assistance."
I pulled a first aid kit out of my pocket (that thing seems like an endless pit of...nothingness).
Gokudera shook his head. "I need to get to Juudaime."
Puppy.
Hibari sneered. "I don't need assistance from midgets."
I sighed, pocketing the kit. "Whatever."
When we got to the theatre, where I knew that Mukuro and Tsuna were fighting, I saw snakes, endless amounts of snakes, about to land on Tsuna.
"Gokudera-san!" I squeaked. "Now!"
Gokudera, apparently, didn't even need a cue, his 'OMG, I NEED TO SAVE JUUDAIMEEEE' instincts kicking in, instantly. "Please get down, Juudaime!" he cried, flinging bombs to ward off the snakes.
Tsuna paled, but did was asked, covering his head, as dynamite exploded, sending snake...remains, everywhere.
Hibari turned to glare at Gokudera. "The debt has been repaid." he said, flatly, dumping Gokudera on the floor.
I ducked to hide behind the bomber. "Scary..."
Tsuna's jaw dropped. Then again, Hibari did just throw an injured Gokudera onto the floor...
Mukuro, grand with his ever elegant (read: gay) pineapple hairstyle, smirked as he turned to face Hibari, disregarding Gokudera and I entirely. Or maybe he didn't see me at all. "My, my, there sure are a lot of spectators today. What is Chikusa doing?"
I winced, at that. He was beaten and bloody, glasses broken.
Gokudera sneered. "Hn. The glasses guy and the animal bastard are taking a nap together downstairs."
"I see." Mukuro said, strangely quiet.
Tsuna cheered. "Way to go, Gokudera-kun!"
Inside, I was cackling. Gokudera didn't do a fucking thing...
Gokudera looked down, awkwardly. "It's not as if I beat them..."
"Are you ready?" Hibari asked, picking a tonfa off of the floor.
...WHEN THE HELL DID THAT GET THERE?!
"You're very scary." Mukuro noticed, his tone contradicting his statement. "But please, don't get between me and Vongola." he looked away, back to his initial threat: Tsuna. "Besides, you can barely stand now. I've broken many of your bones, after all."
I paled. Mukuro isn't a kind person. I shouldn't have given him that information. Because of me, he hurt Ryohei-san (who I still haven't met yet.), Hibari-sama, Tunafish-san, Yamamoto-san and Gokudera-san.
Hibari, however, simply turned, raising a tonfa threateningly. "Have you prepared your last will?"
"You say such amusing things." Mukuro smiled, sadistically. I wondered, if this is the same smile that he wore when he massacred his family. "I have no choice. I'll take care of you first."
His red eye changed, from a Japanese six, to a Japanese four, glowing with a mist Deathperation Flame. "This will end in a moment!" he decreed, sprinting towards Hibari, trident gripped firmly in his hand.
I nudged Gokudera. "Gokudera-san. Reborn-ojii-san told me to keep out of sight, when I got here, so I'm relying on you."
Gokudera sweatdropped. "What was the point of coming when you have to hide?"
My face blanked. "For information. I can gather more information, in a minute, than you can, in an hour."
Gokudera exhaled. "Fine. But only for Reborn-san. And how can you do that?"
I shrugged. "I'm simply prodigious."
Hibari and Mukuro began a deadly dance, of slashing, striking, dodging, blocking, twirling, stabbing, smacking, strength and speed. Hibari was clearly, physically stronger, but Mukuro held the experience, having massacred the Estraneo.
"How long does a moment for you last?" Hibari challenged, locked in place.
Mukuro simply smirked. "Hn."
"Amazing!" Tsuna exclaimed, watching them. "Hibari-san is so strong!"
Even Reborn looked slightly smug. "Don't underestimate them, Mukuro. They're still growing."
"It seems so." Mukuro replied, forehead creased in concentration. "We may never know how the fight may have gone, had he not have been injured."
I internally snorted. Yeah, well, later on, you both fight like adolescent girls.
Then Hibari froze, blood splashing onto the floor.
I tried not to gasp.
"Hibari-san!" Tsuna cried.
Hibari was hunched over, blood staining his white shirt.
"It was only a matter of time." Mukuro said, arrogantly. His eye switched, from a four to a one.
An illusion of sakura blossoms covered the ceiling, pink petals spiralling down around us. Hibari watched, seemingly entranced.
"S-Sakura?!" Tsuna gasped.
Reborn's expression was serious. "Hibari can't move when he's around sakura. He's got the sakura-kura disease that Shamal gave him earlier with a Trident Mosquito."
"EH?!" Tsuna's jaw could've hit the floor.
"Now, let's have you kneel before me again." Mukuro chuckled. "Kufufufu~"
Hibari fell forward, staggering towards Mukuro.
"Hibari-san!" Tsuna called, in horror.
Reborn smirked.
As if.
Hibari swung his tonfa forward, a single, powerful blow, slashing Mukuro across the chest.
Tsuna's eyes widened. "A-AH!"
A trail of blood drew itself down from Mukuro's mouth to his chin. "Oya?"
"Hehe..." Gokudera laughed.
DON'T DRAW ATTENTION TO YOURSELF, BECAUSE THEN I'LL BE NOTICED. I internally cursed, ducking behind the bomber.
"You weren't expecting this." Gokudera continued, completely ignoring my frantic jabs. "I got medicine for Hibari from Shamal."
"Then-!" Tsuna broke out into a wide grin.
Hibari's face remained stoic as he dashed forward, striking Mukuro, sending him flying back with a thud. The illusion faded.
"H-He did it." Tsuna stared, amazed.
Gokudera sighed, looking away. "He got all the good parts..."
I kicked him. "Don't be jealous, Gokudera-san!"
"YOU LITTLE BRAT! WHATS THE POINT OF ADDRESSING ME POLITELY IF YOU'RE GONNA BE AN ASSHOLE, HUH?!" Gokudera yelled, turning to face me, angrily.
"Y-Yuni?" Tsuna noticed me. "You're here?"
I crossed my arms over my chest. "I've been here the entire time, Tsuna. You just didn't notice me." I wiped away a false tear. "I've been ignored..."
Tsuna tried to make it up to me. "I-I'm sorry!"
"You finally did it." Reborn said, approvingly.
"It's over." Tsuna realized. "I can go home now!"
"But you were perfectly useless in the battle with Mukuro." Reborn commented, bluntly.
I snickered. "Keh."
"Leave me alone!" Tsuna snapped.
I laughed. "This is how it should be."
Hibari fell to the ground.
"Eep!" I squeaked, running forward. "Hibari-sama!"
"Hibari-san!" Tsuna cried, kneeling beside him.
Gokudera limped over.
Reborn nodded. "He was fighting unconsciously towards the end. He must've been really upset that he lost before."
"Hibari-san...amazing..." Tsuna muttered, clearly impressed. "Oh right! We need to get everyone to a hospital right away!"
"A very skilled Vongola team is on its way." Reborn reassured.
"That team will be useless." a voice smirked, cutting into our celebration.

The only time that the sky is dark, is during the night. When it rains, it's not truly dark. Because behind those clouds, the sky is still there, bright, blue and warm.
Another snow day. And it isn't even snowing. The roads are just icy as hell. But hell isn't icy...?
Reviews to the extreme!
Meli-chan27 - Hibari-sama is the bomb diggity. True story. Thanks for the review.
xXxMentalPancakesxXx - Fran and Yuni is sooo crack, I love it. I found the cover picture somewhere on the internet (I think I was stalking Fran [don't judge.] and I came across this picture.) and I loved it, so I made a quick edit and kept it. Thanks for the review.
Asumi Ayumi - Fast updates~ But only cuz of snow days. I hope tomorrow will be a snow day too. Thanks for the review.
KnightOwl - It isn't simply interesting...it's extreme! (I just had coffee~) Thanks for the review!
MeLikesROFL - I dunno...I want her to be there (cuz ya know, who doesn't like trolling the Varia?!), but I don't...EH, FUCKING INNER TURMOIL. Do YOU think Yuni should still be in Namimori when the Varia comes? Thanks for the review.
Hanamizuki-Kokoro - I can't read a story...and then stop. I need to read the entire thing. But I don't review every chapter (unless its a mafia boss.), I just review the last one. Which is weird, but its simply how I roll. Thanks for the review.
Michiyo - Reading during class...you rebel. I live in Michigan (don't stalk me.). Yesterday, we had buckets of snow, and today, it all melted, so its all icy. I hope tomorrow we have another snow day tooooooo. THanks for the review.
KatoKimeka-chan - Yuni of course, would be happy, if she met Hibari. Who wouldn't? Thanks for the review.
Nekozawa Tomoe - Yuni likes EATING pineapples (I mean, she's in KHR. With all the people that have pineapple haircuts, Daemon, Mukuro, she wouldn't survive if she didn't like pineapples.) but she doesn't like their shape. So in other words, she hates Mukuro's haircut. Thanks for the review! (and by the way, would your name, by any chance, stand for Nekozawa-sempai from Ouran High School Host Club?)
As always, I'm looking for some fanart. Preferably with Fran and Yuni. I took this cover from the internet (isn't it so cute?!) and am looking for someone (as always) to make me some more!
Also, I'm looking for suggestions as to what Yuni's theme song might be.
Leave your suggestions in your review. And if you make me fanart, PM me the link.
Thanks for all the support, I love it.
Leave a review? My goal? 100. (we can do this, yall.)
Expect an update Friday or sooner. It all depends if I get another snow day, lol.
