Never Let You Go

The Twins in: Fulfilling a Promise

"Eat up" Tsuna said with a smile as he served his own group with the food he made. "Sorry for the appearance. It's bad, I know. But the ingredients that you guys cut already all used up. So. Uhh... yeah" he said sheepishly.

"Ah. Thanks, Sawada" they said as they accept the plates.

"Ano, where are yours, Tsuna-kun?" Hinagiku asked where the brunet just hummed in response.

"Well, these are the last ingredients for the day. But it's okay! I'm not that hungry anyway" he chuckled before turning his back to clean the utensils they were using. Before the group could even call him or decently responded, the young sky has disappeared within the shadows, all of the dishes picked up no problem as he heads to the river..

They're kind of Reluctant to let him go, but they are hungry and tired themselves. So if the said boy said So, then they should just trust him, right?

Well, one thing for sure, the food are indeed delicious. They hummed in delight.

"No wonder everyone asked for seconds!"

Meanwhile with the brunet himself. He paid no mind to the grumble in his stomach as he just keep washing the pot down the river steam, whistling a Tri-Ni-Sette tune.

'I can't skip breakfast tomorrow. Well... I just hope that Reborn would be kind enough to actually let us eat' he sighed in fond exasperation at the mention of his sadist tutor.

Despite how he's always whining and complaining, the hitman actually cared about his student. It wasn't a one time thingy for the ex-arcobaleno to scold him with his on way everytime he skipped meal. To which, apparently wasn't something rare for the brunet to do.

He kind of, adores the feeling of empty stomach?

But yeah... no one really understands that.
He sweatdropped at the remembrance how everyone went mother hen mode that one time his guardians found out about it.

It wasn't pretty.

His musings however, were put in a halt when an unfamiliar steps could be heard coming from behind him.

No danger.

Well, at least not a lethal one.

That well trained brunet doesn't even bother to turn around until the call of his name.

"Well, Well, if it isn't Dame-Tsuna." Takeru and his underlings said as he approach the brunet who simply raised his head, lips pursed in a line.

He put aside the metal that he just cleaned, washing his hands clean of soap before he Then stand up stand up, eyes piercing to the leader.

"What you did earlier today is unforgivable" he stated, not beating around the bush.

The bleached boy smirked. "Heh, and what would you do about that, no good?" He taunted. And that actually got him thinking.

It was clear that Reborn planned to expose him in this camp. And it was also crystal that his guardians won't let him downgrade himself further. In addition to that, he did promised the mama bear to give this idiot a lesson. It would also be good if he has a lesser number of bullies before the day is over, really.

So, Contemplating with his choises...

"I challenge you to a duel" he said straightforwardmy.

The idiots have the audacity to laugh.

"Duel? You want to die so much, Heh?"

"Don't worry. I won't humiliate you too much." The sky smiled though it held sinister behind it.

"Why, you" growling at the taunt, the bulky student cracked his Knuckles. In the meanwhile, Tsuna purposely lured the enraged boy to where the others gather. If it was meant to be revealed anyway, he'd prefer to be the one pulling his own strings. He ain't going to be a puppet for Reborn or anyone in that matter.

His life. His choises.

Soon sounds of the others' enter his hearings.

"Eh? Isn't that Dame-Tsuna? And Takeru?"

"Juudaime!"

"Tsuna-san!"

Audiences, check.

The Don in training still pretty much evades the punches launched at him, not Yet actually returning the hit himself. Although, not so long later, he noticed that the ground is no longer full of sticks and pebbles.

Stage, check.

"Are you sure this is all you've got?" A smirk linger his own lips as the enraged boy gone livid.

"I'll get you, Dame-Tsuna!"

Unstable target, check.

All's that left is the takedown.

He silently signaled his guardians not to meddle with this as he finally stood his ground. Ducking to dodge a fist, he swept the older's feet, letting him yelp as he fell.

Some of the spectacles went silent, while minority who knows about Tsuna's ability just smirked.

Growling like some sort of animal, Takeru pounced at the brunet again to no avail since the said boy is evidently faster than why he has expected.

Now. It won't be good if he actually beat the dillinquent to a pulp. The audiences won't be ready for the exposure. And besides, he only did this to fulfil his promise, not to fully shown his dominant of sort.

So, after catching his fists and cancelling many of his hits already, at last a loud noise of a sharp slap resounded upon the silence.

"That's for the poor cub you killed today" his tone was icy cold while his glare hold raw anger and hurt. And in addition to the massive killing intent that Tsuna aimed towards the bleached-boy, the said male couldn't move, Eyes widened in pure shock and terror.

"...Yoshi-kun?"

Snapping himself, Tsuna closed his eyes, taking a deep breath before smiling at his friends.

"Sorry. I made a promise" is all he said before leaving the crowd to wonder what the heck just happened while he went back to finish his chore back on humming the time of Tri-Ni-Sette.
