TRINISETTE,Unleashed

Chapter 14: kidnapped

Tsuna darted behind him and went to the other boy. He rolled him to his other side. There was a gash at his side but that was bandaged up so the blood won't seep out. Tsuna sighed, relieved that the boy was still alive but worried that he may not last long; the boy was very white. So white that Tsuna might have thought he was dead if he didn't listen for a heartbeat.

"It's very rude and very foolish to turn your back on someone Tsunayoshi." Tsuna only had seconds to react as a javelin was thrown at him. He moved his head back a few inches - the javelin passed through before his eyes.

"Smooth move." Carmine complimented him. Tsuna glared at him and stood up.

Bad, bad, bad!Tsuna thought as he kept glancing at Carmine while his eyes searched around his surroundings. He spotted the flag hidden inside a hollow trunk of a tree. He thought of making a grab for it but he suddenly remembered Carmine and the boy. He looked back at him and found himself looking into thoughtful eyes. Tsuna tensed.

"Hmmmn…" Carmine said, looking at Tsuna up and down. "You really are the exact replica of Vongola Primo… but I wonder…" Tsuna didn't even blink when Carmine had suddenly appeared in front of him, a curved dagger aiming straight to his heart. Tsuna was very grateful for his intuition as he trapped the blade between his hands a few centimeters away from his heart.

He hissed as droplets of blood started to fall down the grass. Carmine didn't give him enough time to dodge as he kicked Tsuna in the stomach and sent him flying a few feet. He landed on his side and groaned, holding his stomach as he did so.

He may have gone through many bone-breaking, nerve-wracking and emotional trials but even though he had went through so much… it still hurts. At least… it wasn't worse when he ate Bianchi's poison cooking.

"Truthfully I have never met Vongola Primo nor his guardians, but I have heard a lot and if the words 'Like father, like son are true…" Carmine's eyes glinted that made Tsuna stiffen. "Then you are good enough to try."

"What do you mean 'good enough to try'?" Tsuna asked slowly as he stood up. He didn't understand what Carmine was saying. What does this have to do with anything? Did Carmine want to know if he was as strong as Primo or what?

Carmine shrugged. "I like people who can turn their resolve into loyalty Tsunayoshi. I have heard about the Vongola guardian's outstanding loyalty to their boss and I wonder… whether if the same applies for their children. I'm sure you have a ton of resolve, do you? I mean, after being outnumbered it would take a real leader with the resolution to lead that would keep them fighting and forgive me for saying so much, I'll get right to the point… Tsunayoshi, I want you to come with me."

Tsuna stared at him with surprise. He was expecting something like I will defeat you!Or I hate the Vongola Family and I will destroy it… starting with you! But he was wrong. He shook his head, he should stop being so paranoid that everyone who takes interest in the Vongola family would kill him.

"Why do you want me to come anyway? More importantly… who are you?" he asked.

Carmine smiled coldly. Tsuna gasped as an orange pacifier appeared hanging around Carmine's neck. At first he was going to demand how he got that pacifier but stopped as he saw that the pacifier wasn't… well pure. The color had turned darker, almost sickly-looking and in the center, Tsuna can faintly see a small dot of black.
