Sunset Hue (KHR Fanfiction)

New Found Feeling

Hyper Intuition.

That's what Reborn called it. It was no wonder he could sense things the way he could. He had always thought it must have been his imagination but it turns out to be a genetic gift passed down from the First Boss. He had never wanted anything to do with the Mafia but here it was, proof. Proof that he was connected by blood – a connection that could not be severed easily as he once thought but despite that, he was thankful for it because it leveled the odds of the fight with Mukuro.

He had 'seen' through Mukuro's attacks with his intuition and had managed to defeat Ken and Chikusa. He did the same with Gokudera and Bianchi without hurting them anymore than they were.

There was a clap and Tsuna turned around. Mukuro stood on stage with his trident at hand, smirking down at him.

"Nicely done Sawada Tsunayoshi," Mukuro complimented him.

Tsuna didn't want to hear it though. "Get down here."

"In a minute." Mukuro turned his back to him and before he could do anything, Mukuro scratched Mia with his trident. A sense of horror welled up in him as Mia shuddered then gasped. Her eyes flew open but Tsuna couldn't see them. She turned her head and Tsuna saw the same glassy look that Fuuta had. She sat up slowly, her hair curtaining her face.

"Kufufufufu, can you bring yourself to fight her Vongola Decimo?" he taunted him. Tsuna couldn't reply. He stared at Mia as she hopped down the stage, holding the trident that Mukuro had handed to her. When she raised her head, Tsuna could not find the words to say to her like he did with Fuuta. She approached him slowly and Tsuna turned his eyes away for a moment to see Mukuro smirking with satisfaction.

Tsuna grew angry. He was going to go around Mia to strike Mukuro but Mia moved with surprising agility and met him halfway. She almost stabbed him but luckily, he jumped back just in time while dodging a kick to the head. He didn't think Mia could fight like that but he supposed it was Mukuro's doing. It was a good thing that Mia wasn't a fighter all that much because compared to everything else, her attacks were light. But she was damn quick.

However, Tsuna was quicker. He blocked all of her attacks then quickly disarmed her by flicking her wrist into an upward motion that forced her to let go of the trident. It flew several feet away and clattered off to the side but despite that, Mia did not give up. She actually head butted him. Hard. Mukuro whistled in the background as he stumbled backwards, grimacing at the pain.

Goddamn pineapple spectator.

He did not want to fight Mia – he would never think of laying a hand on her at all. He tried to do the same thing he did with Gokudera and Bianchi however Mukuro had anticipated it. Mukuro flicked his wrist and Mia's head twisted around to take the brunt of his hand. Tsuna couldn't stop it. She was on the floor in a second, a mark forming on the side of her face.

He had hit her. Hurt her. The one thing he promised himself he wouldn't do and he did it. Perhaps he was overreacting; he didn't hit her in a way to actually hurt her but…

With speed that he never expected her to have, Mia lunged at him while he was stunned. Her slim fingers wrapped around his throat tightly and they fell backwards. Tsuna grabbed on to her wrists but not wanting to hurt her again made it hard for him to resist. He choked as her nails dug into his skin with an unnatural strength.
