From Another World

27. Final Future Battle (part 2)

I feel another pull on my shoulder and try to look back but a hand covered my mouth and I was pulled up into the sky.

Byakuran.

—

(Quick a/n: I never intended Satsu to get pulled into this, but I needed some spicy way to end last chapter so here we are ^-^)

——

Byakuran smiled at me and I tried to claw at his hands and hit his arms as he carried me up in the sky. His hand was over my mouth, making me unable to scream. I give up at freeing myself and glare at him. He simply laughed, enjoying my reactions.

"You're one of the prizes in this battle today, Satsuki-chan~" he said, bringing his face close to mine. "You will be mine."

"In your dreams, marshmallow freak." I roll my eyes.

He kept me in his arms as he flew above the rest. "Impressive indeed! You defeated Ghost so easily~"

Everyone looked up at us, wide eyed.

"SATSUKI-CHAN!!" Tsuna shouted, seeing me in his arms.

"What are you doing with her?!" Gokudera growled.

I couldn't say anything with Byakuran's hand over my mouth. I look at Hibari. His eyes were wide as well and I can see the anger building up.

"Satsuki-chan and Yuni-chan are my prizes in this battle, of course." Byakuran stated, finally moving his hand from my mouth. "Have anything to say, my dear?"

"Don't worry about me, Tsuna," I shout. "I'll be fine. Same to you, Kyoya. Trust me."

Tsuna blinked in realization. After a few seconds, he nodded. Hibari didn't look like he liked the idea, but he lowered his tonfa's. I give them a reassuring smile.

"I feel honored to be in the presence of so many noble faces. The boss of the Cavallone family, Vongola's Independent Assassination Group, Varia, Mukuro-kun, the Vongola guardians, and, of course, the Vongola Decimo. The entire main force of the Italian Mafia family, Vongola, is assembled before me."

Byakuran moved me in his arms, positioning me in front of him, rather than me dangling from the side. Once I was settled, he started stroking my head. I didn't know whether to feel grossed out or punch him. But I did feel more comfortable than earlier.

"Better?" He whispered.

I roll my eyes. "Yeah. Thanks."

"You know, Tsunayoshi-kun," he continued his big speech. "You are a curious person. To be able to coerce Mukuro-kun and Xanxus-kun to submit to you when they too once tried to kill you. That couldn't have been an easy feat."

"Hey, trash," Xanxus aimed at us and fired his flames. I heard Tsuna shout in surprise as he did. "Who said I was submitting to him?"

"Wait!" He called out right as Mukuro sent his illusions at us through the dust clouds.

I took a breath. Uh oh. Bad timing! I started coughing, flailing my arms around. My inhaler was in my pocket but I couldn't reach it.

"Hm? What's wrong?" Byakuran asked.

"She has asthma!" Tsuna shouted when the illusion shattered. "Her inhaler!"

"P-pocket..." I mutter in between wheezes.

Byakuran reaches in my right pocket and pulls it out. I grab it and take a puff, then another, and sigh in relief.

"I didn't know you had asthma..." he muttered.
