Chapter 23: Battle of the Storm

"Hayato-kun..." Sunset-orange eyes blinked in surprise. "You're going to lose the match on purpose?"

Hayato flushed and bowed his head slightly.

"I feel that it would be right--despite hating the fact of losing." The silveret lifted his head, eyes filled with determination. "But I'll make sure to give the knife-b****** a fight."

Tsuna blinked in surprise again before chuckling.

"Just hold back a bit, Hayato-kun.  They're not the Varia that we know."

"Hai, Tsuna-sama!"

~~

"...Who destroyed the windows?"

Tsuna's group sweatdropped as they spotted a positively-demonic Kyoya, who saw past the illusions on the windows, which were made by the Cervello.

Luckily, Lambo was back at home--but it was pretty much a matter of time until the skylark would find the poor child.

Kyoya seemed to sense who the cause of the destruction was and turned away from them, heading towards the Sawada Household; Tsuna sweatdropped.

'Lambo-kun's dead.'

~~

"Hey there~beautiful ladies!  Is anyone hurt--urgh!"

"Shut up you perverted old man!"

Hayato kicked Shamal in the face before the man could grope the Cervello.

And then the doctor spotted Tsuna and instantly paled.

"Please don't turn me into a woman!"

Tsuna sighed exasperatedly as Reborn snickered on his shoulder; Hayato raised an eyebrow and Takeshi laughed confusedly.

'What's wrong with the old man/Haha, did Tsuna do something?'

"Just step away from the Cervello, Shamal-san."

"H-Hai!"

The doctor quickly put distance between himself and the Cervello; Hayato smiled amusedly.

"At least the old man won't be a troublesome pervert for now..."

~~

"Ushishishi~!  Let's have a good fight, shall we?"

Bel was about to touch Hayato's shoulder, but the silveret brushed him off, speaking coolly to the other.

"Try putting your wires on me more discreetly next time."

Hayato smirked as he left a shocked Bel behind; the blonde snapped out of his stupor and regained his Cheshire grin.

"Ushishi~!  He got me~!"

~~

"May the Battle of the Storm Guardian, start!"

Hayato simply stood there, hands stuffed into his pockets as he studied Bel closely; he could distinctly see the wires slowly start to surround the prince.

'Already creating his trap, eh?'

The silveret quickly whipped out three dynamites into his right hand as he kept his other hand stuffed into his pocket; he tossed them lazily at Bel, who quickly dodged the with ease.

"Ushishi~!  Too easy--!"

Suddenly, the bombs redirected themselves and hit Bel in the back, exploding immediately upon impact.

Hayato dropped his hand to his side as he murmured his attack.

"Rocket Bomb."
