The brunette clicked his tongue in annoyance as he sidestepped a man wearing a white half mask, cloaked in an equally white plain cloak.

He despised having to deal with the typical 'grunts', for there were usually plenty of them, and despite being quite harmless individually, they got in the way more often than not.

He could hear various pain filled screams emitting from the demonic perfect's location. He couldn't help the soft resigned sigh that escaped from his lips at his friend's antics as he parried the grunt's newly drawn knife with his own before tilting it to direct the man to his side.

He quickly stabbed the grunt in the stomach before twisting it as the man stumbled, put off balance.

His eyes flashed a brilliant shade of orange as he caught the slumping body and held it up as a meat shield to block five incoming spikes from impaling him.

He looked over towards Kyoya to see the demonic skylark take out the owners of the spikes, having already disposed of the others.

"I will bite you to death for flocking around Namimori!"

The skylark hissed.

The brilliant flames exuding from the tonfas were a captivating sight to the orange eyes teen. He wondered if his own flames would be just as elegant once he got full control over them.

The skylark flicked the blood off of his tonfas, creating a wide ark of splattered blood on the ground, steel glanced towards the brunette who had  graciously allowed him to take on the majority of the grunts.

'The carnivore should always defeat more than the baby carnivore....'

"There's still more grunts around...."

The brunette muttered softly, his orange gaze glancing around. The skylark nodded in agreement, having already noticed that there were more around than they could see.

"Hn, your luring from before doesn't seem to have been very effective in bringing out the rest of the herbivores...."

The skylark replied as he stalked back over towards the brunette, knowing that the teen was the main target.

"They seem to have gotten smarter..."

Tsuna frowned before orange widened as he suddenly jerked to the left, narrowly avoiding a gleaming dagger from impaling him in the head.

He didn't so much as wince from the fresh cut on his cheek, instead he casually wiped away the blood.

'The baby carnivore's reflexes were slow....'

Both teens widened their stances into a defensive posture as both steel and orange gazes flickered around them.
