A terrifying ability. The events of a future no longer quite his own to claim. None of these things matter, in the end. At least, not for him. The only thing that did was the challenge laid out before him. Or, at least, he hopes there will be a challenge. Something he can sink his teeth into.

“Are you comparing me to the likes of the little animal and Rokudo Mukuro? That would be your first mistake. And perhaps, your last.”

The foreboding curl of Cloud flame is unmistakable. As is the sheen of twin tonfa, and the cast of steel silver eyes, taking in every aspect of his prey. The hunt begins.

“I’ll enjoy plucking out your feathers. One by one.”

He rushes forward, without hesitation.

𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐲 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐡 into squalid backroads begets clipped skylark in the throes of an ambush , corpses piled upon stained cobblestone yet the numerous rabble doesn’t dwindle in spite of a feral animal . He hasn’t been noticed yet , but the devil dares to open his wretched gorge and court the beast . ❛ It looks like you’re in trouble there . Can I help ? ❜ Its a rhetorical question , since he doesn’t expect the man to retch his pride for rescue . Standing indifferently aside , he’s content with just watching , even if it entails remaining passive to the clouds demise .

@skylrks gets offered help from the prince !! s.c.

This would not be the first time the Vongola guardian finds himself entangled in a seemingly impossible situation. Nor would it be the last. Everything had been calculated just so for this particular mission. Solitary cloud, who prefers solo work; solitary predator who prefers the thrill of a solo hunt — of doing work that does not always, entirely touch the light. He is fine; more than fine with such designation. His prey for this particular undertaking are lesser creatures. Not even fit to be labeled herbivores. They are filthy insects in need of prompt and thorough crushing. And while they are indeed crushed easily, their numbers continue to rise. They continue scatter out of the woodwork of the night; and if he should need the entire night to bite every single one of them to death, then so be it.

Then another outlier presents itself. Varia. Ever-grinning prince of blood and decay. He recalls him, which says something.

“I don’t need your help,” comes the curt reply, as a tonfa crack open a prey’s jaw — the insect falling to the ground promptly. “But I don’t care enough to stop you either.” A vague invitation at best — but at the very least, not an outright dismissal.

► YAMAMOTO | One way or another, the rat will be properly found and disposed of; a younger version of himself would go for a catch and release kind of game plan, but they were no longer kids. They knew better. While they still held fast to their sense of justice, they also came to a firm understanding that mercy cannot always be afforded in this line of work. If they let one rat get away, then many more will think they can, too.

And that was unacceptable.

With both guardians coming in from the top and the bottom, there was nowhere for the rat to go. The longer he stayed within the manor, the higher the chances of him getting caught became. He knew that. But it’d be suspicious if he was caught trying to leave the premises, and everyone was on high alert.

“You!” Yamamoto’s voice suddenly broke the man out of his train of thought, causing him to lower the radio from his lips. When the Rain approached and regarded him with a brief nod, he lowered the walkie to his side once more.

“The coast is clear, sir,” he spoke out, hoping he didn’t pick up on the slight waver in his voice.

Amber eyes narrowed for a moment before he nodded again. “Well, we won’t find him if we keep standing here, right?” Smirking, he clapped a hand on his shoulder with a firm squeeze, before he continued down the hall with expectancy. And sure enough, the subordinate, Angelico, was smart enough to follow behind as they moved on to the next floor down.

Together, they made their way down, until sure enough they would bump into Hibari himself. The whole while, Yamamoto remained ‘oblivious’ that he had the rat following him all along.

But was he really?

Kyouya does a thorough check of the basement and finds nothing particularly out of place. The underbelly consists of plenty of storage space, along with secret passageways and emergency exists only known to the uppermost echelon of the Vongola. The Cloud is just about ready to leave, when he hears the twittering of one of his birds — come to find him in the low lit arena, a message imbued into song. He holds out a single finger for the little, yellow animal to perch on and listens carefully.

Found. Found. With the Rain.

And shortly after that message is shared, Yamamoto Takeshi reappears, and not alone. His bird shifts from his finger, to sit on his shoulder and the picture starts to become crystal clear. There’s nothing obvious about the subordinate nor Yamamoto’s actions that give away that their rat has been discovered. At the same time, Kyouya imagines the the subordinate must be quite nervous. All alone with two extremely formidable guardians. The swell of the vicious Cloud bringing forth the type of rain that pounds against pavement and seeps into bone, bringing bringing forth a bitter chill not meant to be forgotten anytime soon.

“I’ve already cleared this area,” Kyouya says, grey eyes meeting the other man’s in an unspoken agreement. “

Here and now. Let’s deal with it. Don’t let him escape.

❝ That should be expected. ❞ To be bitten to death, Shoichi doesn’t truly know what that means, it almost sound ridiculous … ah, but bodily harm is bodily harm and he’d like to avoid it. ❝ I think I should just expect everyone wanting me dead at some point … I don’t think even Byakuran is too keen on keeping me alive either. ❞ The prediction is nothing short of frightening; to be hated, hunted down. It’s SCARY … Shoichi Irie is SCARED. Face pales steadily, the anxiousness that initially melted, brewing dangerously close to another upset.

❝ Alright. I will ━━ leave everything to you. I don’t think I’ll be able to help for a long while, Hibari-san. ❞ A pause. ❝ I wonder if I’ll be forgiven … ❞ It’s a whisper, so quiet under his breath. If he must, how many would he allow to die? or be the catalyst of someone’s pain … ultimately, Shoichi would choose the ‘ greater good ’. ❝ Hibari Kyoya, I hope you don’t mind if I use you a little bit. ❞

Byakuran. The other piece to this confounding puzzle.

Kyouya didn’t hold a very high opinion of that man — not necessarily because of the utter ruin and destruction he had brought across multiple worlds, including their own, but because of his singular motive: a desire to rule and crush everything around him. He finds it terribly cliché. Boring, even. Why become a God or even a Devil, when boundary in between the two concepts and outside of them proved much more fascinating? He can think of a few things he’d like to do if he were imbued with that sort of power. But he wasn’t, and Sawada Tsunayoshi had asked for his support in culling this mess (a mess started by him — Kyouya had been staunchly against having the Vongola rings destroyed in the first place). There’s no purpose in pointing fingers at this point, however. All they can do is move forward and hope for a miracle.

“The little animal has a soft heart. The others from the past will band around him. That is to say: forgiveness isn’t something you ought to concern yourself with.” He isn’t trying to be comforting. Not in the slightest. Rather, he’s stating a fact that he thinks the other man should hear.

“Naturally, I’ll be fine without your assistance.” The smirk he gives just then is both razor sharp as it is telling. “And I don’t appreciate being used.

—- But if you must.”

❝ I guess I would be happy too if I can bludgeon my way to success, Kyoya.❞ What's that ? is that JEALOUSY in his voice ? Is Shoichi really pouting about this ? Yes, yes. It's just not fair.

"The concepts of happiness and unhappiness are irrelevant. If you approach them as an existential matter, then you're doomed to fall into their pitfalls. My pride and sense of self worth are my own. I've grasped them with my bare hands and forced them to suit my needs. You're perfectly capable of doing the same, even if by a different means. You just aren't trying hard enough.

—- Granted, I would advise you, in particular, to avoid time travel, as an option. For obvious reasons."

" kyouya, i was in love with you the whole time! " from an exasperated tsuna >:3c

The confession does not come as a surprise or even a shock. From his astute observations of Sawada Tsunayoshi, it is more than obvious that the little animal carries a torch in his heart for each of his guardians; the intricacies and complexities of each flame varying, but affection being the enduring factor at each of their cores. Kyouya knew he was not an exception. That much is obvious as well. The way their individual Flames, Cloud and Sky, resonate so meticulously without effort. The way the little animal gets flustered so easily. All of the signs were there, no matter how minute or massive. But it was Kyouya who had always away from the threat of such intimacy. The idea of being chained down in such a manner leaves him terribly uneasy. It feels unnatural and he wants to believe that it is unnecessary for someone like himself; someone who was used to be alone. Had embraced it. Even when forced to remain adjacent (at the very least) to others.

But somehow, Sawada Tsunayoshi had crept in past his many barriers and warning signs, and made a home for himself. Perhaps that is where his current frustration stemmed from. He had made himself a home in him however long ago and Kyouya had been slow moving in his response to the gesture.

" —- Were you now?" Comes Kyouya's smooth response, as long pale fingers reach to the sky above, releasing a couple of birds who had been perching on them previously (they had been chanting little animal, little animal, little animal). The aviary that the Decimo had built on top of the Vongola mansion for him was certainly one of his most favorite gifts that he's ever received. And one of his favorite places to spend time. It was no wonder the other was able to discover him here — previously alone.

"Then, you should have made your move sooner. Predators hunt for what they desire to eat. Although I will admit, it's been entertaining, watching you dance around me." The Cloud steps closer to the sky just then; close enough until they are face-to-face, although Kyouya still holds quite a few inches over his little animal. He looks down at him, head tilted slightly in quiet, unreadable observation. And then he leans in even closer; close enough to whisper, voice deep and silky smooth into the Decimo's ear.

"I don't know why it's me you've chosen to love, Sawada Tsunayoshi. It may very well be a mistake. I think you should be more frightened by me. But if you insist, I've decided that I won't deny you."
