Title: A Demonic Sky

By: Metamorcy

Pairing: R27 and 27R

Summary: AU, I must have been out of my mind to make a contract with a demon, Reborn thought as he stared at the creature across him, Really Stupid. And it just has to be one that enjoys messing with him.

Disclaimer: Seriously? Don't own, just the idea

A/N: Sadly none of the chapters have been improved since I'm still betaing the other stories. Maybe next time?

"Did you feel that?!" Fong cried out dashing through the hallways with the other hunters behind him, knowing that there was only one place it could come from. That flow of power, it was engulfing and terrifying at the same time. He'd never have imagined that the god would still be so powerful after years of being ignored and trapped in that basement. The rest of the group nodded their heads in understanding, rushing to the place where Reborn was being held prisoner. The attack earlier was still fresh in their minds and as much as they knew that Reborn would try to resist, they knew that eventually he would lose. It was a god against a human - the victor was far too obvious.

As they reached the doors to the underground basement, they felt the air stir for a moment. The hair on their skin stood up as some electrifying sensation pulsated through the atmosphere. Though they kept moving, their limbs felt like they were being held by invisible weights. Time seemed to slow down - a powerful force that didn't belong to the god was swirling like a whirlpool in the area, concentrated within the room. Colonello cursed loudly, just barely reaching the door when suddenly it stopped. The hunters paused at that, glancing at each other in curiosity, they were now able to move freely again.

"It's gone?" Luce whispered; flexing her fingers for a moment before fear struck her mind. If it was gone, did that mean… Reborn lost? No, that wasn't possible. He couldn't lose in a battle of willpower. He had always been the strongest of the group and him falling was just… devastating. Fong shivered and nodded towards Colonello to open the door. Everyone swallowed as nervousness fell onto their bodies like a parasite, fear prickling their minds. As the door swung open, a puff of smoke filtered through the air and they could hear some noises. They identified it as coughing and someone suddenly cursed wildly in an unknown language no one recognized. Fong was the first one to enter, his body tense, waiting for any attack that might occur. He cast a quick wind spell to free the air and the smoke quickly evaporated.

In the spot where Reborn had been kept, another body was perceptible, choking viciously on the air. Beside the unknown figure, Reborn appeared to be unconscious and upon closer inspection of his body, they could see multiple cuts all over the skin. The hunter's face and hands had three long gashes, but the clothes remained unharmed despite darkening from the blood. Luce gasped at the sight and instantly rushed over, checking the wounds before immediately casting healing spells in hopes of slowing the bleeding. She didn't even look at the other person who was lying across the room.

"How is Reborn, Luce?" Verde asked, going to her side to see if he could lend any help, but his only useful skills were in weaponry and science, not magic.

"He's stable, but unconscious. There are cuts all over his body and I've managed to stop the bleeding but it'll take time to heal," Luce muttered a few more spells before speaking once more, "Just what… happened?"

"Perhaps this one can fill us in, kora?" Colonello stepped closer to the fallen form, gun out just in case. His eyes peered over the lean figure and glared, watching as sparks pulsated on the body. It didn't take much to figure out that the person had been the one to possess their friend.

"Disgusting humans…" The body spoke, a low-pitched voice that was too familiar. "Disgusting demons… how dare you…" The smoke cleared to reveal a body picking itself up, bright purple eyes staring at the hunters before him. His blond hair was wrapped around his neck and the white robes were covered in dust. There was a large gash across his chest, blood pooling out, but that was soon stopped as the man touched it, a light coming out of those hands and forcing the cut to regenerate.

"Who?" Skull whispered from the back, cowering behind everyone in fear.

It was Fong who realized what he was seeing. "Is that the god of this land? But how?" He remembered seeing something similar to that appearance in the ancient books lying around in the shrine and the details, though distorted over time, were very comparable and noticeable. "Did Reborn manage to find a way to force you out?"

"Damn humans…" The god continued to mutter under his breath, not hearing a single word, and turned his eyes to the crowd before him. He stared at every one of them, eyeing them as if calculating something in his mind, only to sneer. "None of them, none of them have been corrupted. Damn, damn, damn…" With that, the sparks appeared more wildly on his body and eventually, both Colonello and Fong jumped back to dodge, the rest of the group watching as a wind formed around the god. The force scattered around the area, pushing bookshelves to collapse and items that had been stored inside fell and crumbled to the ground. The window behind slammed open and soon, that force turned into a tornado-like form, flying out to freedom. As soon as it disappeared, the air calmed down almost immediately, leaving the group completely speechless as their minds tried to process what happened.

Luce was the first to move, tapping Reborn's face gently to get a response, but got nothing, just a low moan. "Guys, I need help carrying Reborn to a room. He needs medical treatment right away!"

That seemed to snap the group out of their daze and they turned towards the worried woman and their unconscious friend. Soon, everyone was moving, clearing everything and alerting the rest of the people in the shrine of what had occurred. Chaos spread among the hallways and guards were placed all around, waiting for the god to attack once more. Most didn't believe it was the god, saying that it had to be a mistake, but the Arcobaleno didn't have time to rebuke their beliefs, demanding them to stand guard. However no attack came, the air was still as the birds chirped innocently and the leaves rustled like there was nothing wrong. Reborn was lifted up from the basement to a bed upstairs, his jacket and fedora taken off and placed onto a table close by. Everyone left Luce to deal with him as the rest tried to gather information on what happened, confusion evident on their faces. Was it really possible for a god to be forced out of a body? They knew it was possible for demons, but a god?

Luce sighed to herself as she held a bowl of warm water and a small towel. She would have used the first aid kit but most of the items had already been used during the previous attacks. So many people had been gravely injured that healing items were on the all-time low. At least cleaning the wounds would help the healing process, it was better than nothing, and she felt better now that the cuts were finally starting to close with her magic. As she stepped closer to the door, which had been opened slightly to allow easy access in an emergency situation, she paused when she saw something moving in the moonlight.

'What?' Stepping closer as quietly as possible, she peeked inside the room and immediately looked towards the bed. There, she saw Reborn sitting up, wide awake, and was staring at his hands with his eyebrows narrowed angrily. The male hunter yanked up his sleeves to get a better look at his arms, grumbling under his breath. A dark aura was surrounding him and there was a twitch at his lips whenever he moved.

"Stupid Delimik, should have known you would try to injury this body if I forced you out in revenge." Reborn mumbled, rotating to swing his legs over the bed.

Luce blinked. 'Wait… that doesn't sound like Reborn… and what's he talking about… Delimik, is that the god's name?'

The male hunter stood, wincing slightly in pain from all the cuts, and slowly stretched. As he made his way to a mirror on the opposite side of the room Luce noticed that something was completely off with her old friend. His eyes… they weren't purple like when Reborn had been possessed by the god, no, they were now orange. It was a beautiful shade of orange that reflected moonlight off like crystals. It was like they were glowing in the darkness. Luce continued to watch as her friend stared into the mirror, unbuttoning his shirt to get to the wounds.

"Hmm, looks like a simple healing spell will work. Better do it now since I'm inside. Man, if Reborn wakes up and finds out I'm still in here, I swear I'm never going to hear the end of it."

'Reborn? He's been repossessed?' Luce felt a stab entered her heart, wondering what she could do to help her fellow hunter. She couldn't just leave him like this, not with some unknown being deep within. Suddenly, those orange eyes turned towards the door, towards her.

"You can come out. I know you have been watching me this entire time," The so-called Reborn spoke, his body rotating in the same direction and settled into the chair at the table the mirror was on. He ran a hand through the black locks and watched as Luce carefully pushed the door open wider, stepping in with all due caution. He had the shirt back on, covering up the contract tattoo underneath. "Do not worry, I shall not attack you. And your friend here," An arm reached up and went over Reborn's heart. "-is alright. I will give him back to you once I've healed his body."

Luce sighed in relief, stepping even closer and peered straight into those orange eyes. They were familiar since they were Reborn's, but at the same time, not. She placed the bowl onto the table and turned her full attention to the possessed hunter. "Who… are you?"

"Just a… demon."

"Demon?!" At that, the woman backed up, eyes wide with fear.

"Ah, just a demon. And didn't I just say that I mean you no harm?" The possessed Reborn sighed. "Anyway, my name is Tsuna. I'll give you Reborn back once I've finished healing his body. You probably didn't notice but these wounds," Tsuna pointed to a couple of them to show her. "Didn't come from outside, it was created from within. Can you imagine the damage on the inside of this body?" At the widening of her eyes, the demon smirked. "Ah, yes, there's plenty of internal damage. The healing spells you managed to cast only healed the outside, the organs within were bleeding out. But do not worry, most of that have already been fixed. There is only a little remaining and a simple healing spell of mine can patch it right up."

"A-Ah…" Luce didn't know if she should be relieved or fear for her friend's life, but right now, she felt better knowing that Reborn would live. She leaned further forward to peer into those orange eyes, wondering why a demon of all creatures would help a hunter. Didn't they hate hunters? It made no sense to her. Nevertheless she couldn't do much in her position, only hope for the best.

Tsuna shifted in the seat, uncomfortable with the gaze, however he still managed to cast the spell and felt the aches and pains slipping away until there was nothing left. Deciding that everything was now fixed to how it was before Reborn had gotten possessed by the god, he stood back up and closed his eyes. Reborn was probably going to need a bit of a nudge to awaken from his slumbering state inside his own body. As he slipped deep into the mind space that Reborn was dwelling in, he gave a sharp kick to the hunter's formed body and was immediately able to feel the man's consciousness starting to flicker. Soon after, he found himself back in front of Luce and literally stepped out of Reborn's body, letting the body collapse into his waiting arms. A small mutter of words slipped from the hunter's lips, nudging further against the brunet. Tsuna just chuckled in amusement, bending down, and his tail flicked out once as he organized Reborn's fallen form comfortably into his arms, carrying him towards the bed. His wings were folded up against his back and he peered at the human woman after dropping Reborn off.

"He's been completely healed. He should be waking up at any second." Tsuna spoke, folding his arms and then waited patiently for the woman to act. He wasn't sure if he would be attacked or if the woman would call for help. Regardless, he couldn't move too far away from Reborn. The idiotic fallen god could easily come back to possess the human once more. A pitiful act of revenge and he refused to allow such an occurrence to happen again.

Once Luce grew accustomed to the presence of the demon, taking curious looks at him every now and then, she rushed to Reborn's side to check him over. She quickly deemed him alright and sighed in relief. Now that, that was cleared up she turned her gaze towards the demon and spoke, "You're Tsuna right?"

"That's right. Tell me, what do you know so far about your situation?"

"W-What?" Luce narrowed her eyebrows in confusion, not sure what to make of the question. "Situation?"

"Do you not know who had previously possessed Reborn?"

The woman felt her shoulders shrink at that. "From what was said we concluded that it was a god."

Tsuna simply nodded his head. "That is correct. Well, a fallen god now. His name is Delimik. Research him if you want to find out more about him, but it's nothing noteworthy. He'll be hard to kill without-" He paused for a moment as he noticed movement from Reborn, his eyes shooting down at the human. Immediately, he went to his side, well aware of the concern on Luce's face. "Reborn, how do you feel?"

The hunter grumbled under his breath, slowly sitting up while cradling his head. "Been better. Damn, where did that bastard go?" His eyes were shut in frustration, concentrating solely on Tsuna's voice. He wanted to thank the demon for saving him, but that just wouldn't be him.

"Outside. He's been weakened considerably. If you want to defeat Delimik, there are two ways. You need to use a demon since our attacks are effective against him, or an angelic weapon. Back when Stella and myself took him on, it wasn't a problem. I was more than capable of defeating him on my own, but since I doubt you really want to reveal me to everyone, I won't be able to help. However, if things turn badly, I'll step in. Anyway, I believe the angelic weapon we used against him is still in the main dining room where it has been stored as an artifact," Tsuna watched as those dark eyes turned to him, Reborn giving him a sharp nod in compliance. His tail reached over to lift up the fedora that was placed onto the nightstand and tossed it towards the hunter, who quickly caught it between two fingers. "I think you look better with your signature hat."

"It's a fedora."

"It's still a hat regardless of the name you humans gave it."

Reborn huffed. "You're starting to get real cheeky on me," He placed the familiar item back onto his head, tucking his spiky hair within and twirled his curls. His body was still aching but it wasn't as bad as before. His eyes watched as Tsuna handed over his stuff plus a few extras he had gathered, knowing fully well it would help him out. Reborn could not use his normal items, most were probably useless against a god, much less one that seemed to have the tendency to spark. "You know, I think your personality has been changing ever since you met me."

Tsuna paused at that, blinking his eyes curiously before smiling. "It does seem so. Perhaps it's because I'm no longer in a boring room that surrounds me all day doing the same thing over and over again. Anyone's personality would be killed off after hundreds of years of facing that," He shook his head, running a hand through his hair, still knowing that Luce was there watching, unnoticed by the male hunter. "My friends said the same thing the last time I met them.

"You mean that water demon, Takeshi, right? Or Gokudera?"

"Both. Said I was more cheery than ever before while laughing. By the way, you do realize there's someone else in the room, right?"

Reborn didn't flinch nor twist around to look at the leader of the Arcobaleno. He simply continued to put his gear on, double checking to make sure that everything was on correctly. "I'm well aware of that. I was hoping that it was nothing more than an illusion or a ghost since I really don't want to explain anything."

"Reborn," Luce finally spoke, shaking the somewhat cheery atmosphere the two in a pact had made with their banter. "Reborn, who… is this?"

The hunter twisted around, taking in the curious yet fearful expression his boss held towards him. "A demon named Tsuna. He's been helping me for a while."

"But why would a demon help you? Unless… you're in a contract?"

"That's right, I contracted a demon. Luce, don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Colonello has already met Tsuna, but that idiot hasn't done anything yet." Reborn tilted his fedora and slowly stretched his limbs carefully, knowing not to push it after just being healed. He felt better than before and he had a whole lot of energy to use for the upcoming battle. He was going to show that bastard some payback for what he had done, three times over.

The boss of the Arcobaleno didn't look convinced. "Reborn…"

"Luce," This time Tsuna spoke. "Do not worry, Reborn shall be fine. He's too stubborn for a human."

Reborn snapped, "What was that?"

"Oh, you heard me."

Luce stared at the two before laughing out loud. Despite the strangeness, she couldn't help it.

Reborn held up the blade in his right hand towards his face, examining the item carefully. He didn't see how this would be useful towards a god, but whatever, if Tsuna said it would work then it would. However, he was no sword wielder. He used guns and weaponry in that area - that was it. Swords were never his thing and for many reasons; having a sword meant getting in range of the demon's attack, something he'd greatly like to avoid. He could only hope that one of the other members knew how to use a sword besides just randomly swinging it. The only person he suspected was Fong and he was confident enough to know that the Chinese man was efficient in dodging. Luce had gone back to gather the other members of the Arcobaleno, leaving the hunter alone with Tsuna. The demon was on top of the ceiling in the main dining hall, keeping himself out of view.

"You sure this is it?" The raven glanced over the dulled blade once more, running his fingers over the rusted material. It didn't even cut him and he cursed at the useless item. It was clear that it hadn't been used for hundreds of years, probably around four-hundred from the last battle with the god. He had gotten the basic story from Tsuna but that was it and there was no doubt he wanted a better version.

"Yeah, but the years haven't done it any good," Tsuna fluttered down, flapping his wings gently. He motioned the human to bring it closer to him and raised his hand outwards, letting his magic flow through. The damage on the sword began to recede. "How much do you know about me? I'm certain Delimik must have said a few things while inside you."

Reborn's dark eyes glanced up towards the demon and snorted. "Yeah, he did and at the same time, he didn't. I learned from him that you're the King of Time, one of the three members of the Tri-Ni-Set that controls the Vongola rings. I saw a flash of Delimik's memories where you and Vongola Primo defeated him all those years ago. He had turned against humankind, wanting to eliminate every single last one of them, and Vongola was eventually called in. Delimik despised how humans lived and that eventually consumed him whole. Pitiful case."

The demon chuckled, nodding his head towards each one. "I honestly don't really know what set him off, both Stella and myself figured out pretty fast in the beginning that his hatred would never disappear." The sword was restored within moments, time magic reversing everything on the blade to the point where it looked like it was brand-new. "What do you plan to do about the information on me? You understand that you are contracted with an extremely powerful demon. Just so you know, controlling time is my specialty. That doesn't mean I can't use any other types of magic though and because of my abilities, I'm considered one of the top twenty demons in terms of strength."

Reborn didn't answer, simply looking at his reflection through the blade. His eyes peered up at the flying demon, watching as questions slipped through those honey-colored eyes. Tsuna wanted to know, he wanted to know what would change in their relationship. "Honestly? Nothing, I see no harm in having you around. I'm actually enjoying your irritating presence."

The demon hummed gently to himself as he ignored the alleged insult before floating closer, bringing their faces closely together. Before long, their lips connected and Tsuna watched as the human's eyes widened in surprise at the sudden kiss. The brunet chuckled in amusement and reached forward, grasping a fistful of Reborn's dark locks to prevent any chance of retreat. He tilted his head to the side, deepening the kiss, and listened in satisfaction when the human moaned gently. Their tongues mixed together eagerly, trying to gain dominance with the demon winning. He listened to another deep moan crawl up from the back of Reborn's throat. Braking apart, Tsuna pulled back to gain some distance. "Hmm, I think I just might reward you with something later today once this whole mess is dealt with." He licked his lips, his fingers trailing down the human's face seductively before rubbing his thumb tenderly into a cheek. He could feel the other shiver at his touch and leaned in closer, sensing the other humans on their way. "Listen, I'll remain close by. If you feel that the battle is going badly, don't hesitate to call. You and I both know that you'd rather have everyone come out alive and well than severely injured or dead." As a side note, Tsuna added under his breath, "I'm surprised that blonde hasn't said anything about me to the others yet though…"

"Y-Yeah…" Reborn stuttered, biting down on his bottom lip as he pushed back the desire to extort another kiss. His eyes stared at those lips, wanting nothing more than to ravish them. "You'll find a way to get Delimik out into an area where we can attack, right?"

"Yes, it shouldn't be very hard. Don't worry, you can rely on me to get the job done." Tsuna perked up slightly as the footsteps were getting closer to their location and gently flapped his wings to push him back. "I'll go now. Be careful, Reborn."

The hunter nodded his head, watching as the demon retreated into the darkness, just as his allies came into view. He peered at each one carefully, looking over their surprised expressions to see him doing so well. Smirking, he went straight into the plan he had with the demon, ignoring the glances from Luce, who hadn't spoken a word about his little demonic companion.

The battle with the fallen god hadn't been as hard as Reborn had originally expected. He had guessed it would be a long bloody battle to put him down, but instead, it had taken just a single swipe from Fong with the sword and Delimik had fallen instantly with a loud scream. The contracted hunter had surmised that the god had been incredibly weakened from Tsuna while the others believed he had been weakened from lack of battles. The strength of the electric attacks had weakened in power and it was clear that the god was exhausted. Tsuna must have outright viciously attacked the him and purposefully placed him in their location to be finished off.

Reborn smirked as he watched the god vanish in a bright light, glad that this whole mess was done and over with. Though he hadn't been able to do much, it didn't matter now that the god had been killed off. This time, Tsuna had made sure to not seal him away, finding it too annoying to bother. As the hunter turned to the side to look at everyone, his eyes caught sight of the brunet in the trees, hiding away from view and smirked. When they caught sight of each other at the same time, they gave a friendly nod and Reborn almost snorted in amusement at how close they were acting.

Soon after, there had been a celebration as the temple literally partied being free at long last. There were, of course, some who were still hesitant about the whole god ordeal and kept themselves quiet in the back, but that didn't bring the party down at all. The demons that had been attracted to Delimik had run away, only a small handful lingering. Still, those were easier to take care of than the massive numbers from before. That night, everyone was happy that things were over and the mission complete. Luce was absolutely thrilled that no one had been injured too badly, everyone coming out alive and well. She still had a questioning stance towards Reborn, but didn't think too much of it. She trusted Reborn and it wasn't hard to figure out that the battle with the god had gone far too well considering the previous matches. From the look on the hunter's face, Tsuna had clearly interfered. Smiling to herself, she helped cook meals with the remaining items to keep everyone full and satisfied.

Reborn eventually went off on his own, wanting to head to bed now that everything was complete. That and he wanted to actually talk to Tsuna. It was unusual not having the demon constantly by his side. He settled into his room, leaning against the head of the bed and sighed at the peacefulness. Reborn was glad that everything had ended well; he was now ready to leave China altogether. He wanted to get home as quickly as possible and get back to work since he got nothing out of this one. Sliding down the bed, he rested his head against the pillow and stared out the window, gazing into the distance.

The outside was nice. The moon was high up in the sky, giving off light that alleviated the world from the darkness of the night. He was expecting for the demon to show up and snuggle up against his body at any moment – a common occurrence he had grown used to. He was also prepared for the other to attack him in bed, resulting in some great sex. Reborn almost wanted to pout, though Tsuna had stated he could take charge, it was still a challenge to get the brunet under him. He would get the chance to dominate the demon - he would make sure of it.

Thump!

Reborn shot up, immediately reaching for his gun that was sitting on the nightstand to take aim. The covers were thrown off with his hair all messed up and spiked everywhere. He glared at the intruder who interrupted his rest. However, the sight he saw before his eyes made them widen in shock instead, his mouth hanging open slightly. He blinked, wondering if he was just going crazy, but a heavy moan snapped him back to reality.

There was Fong in the middle of the room, hair ruffled and loose from the braid with his pants missing. His bright red robe was unbuttoned, hanging off those smooth unblemished shoulders. His cheeks were stained as red as his robe, moans slipping through those open lips uncontrollably, and he threw his head back to let out a small cry, his body shaking in response. Those long thin legs were quivering, threatening to collapse under him, and a very noticeable bulge was in-between his thighs. Those normally dark eyes that were calm and collected were instead filled with desire and lust, unfocused. They weren't looking at Reborn, no they were looking at the person behind him with snake-like hands moving all over his body, teasing him endlessly.

"F-Fong?!" Reborn was sitting up, dropping his gun in shock, and was about to get to help when Tsuna popped his head out from behind the Chinese man. A wild grin adorned his face.

The brunet's hands continued to relentlessly attack younger hunter, pumping that bulge underneath, while his other hand was playing with Fong's chest, pulling at the nipples. Those once honey-colored eyes were an orange hue and those red lips kissed along Fong's neck before reaching the ear, licking the exterior skillfully. Another long moan escaped the Chinese man's lips before he could stop himself.

"So, Reborn," There was a pause as that hand messing with Fong's front went to the back, the human's hips flexing forward with a small cry. The hunter on the bed couldn't get a clear view what was happening behind but he had a feeling from the way his friend's hips bucked. Tsuna's fingers were inside, driving Fong mad with pleasure as they hit that bundle of nerves with accurate thrusts. "I said that I was going to treat you earlier, didn't I? Here's your chance, Reborn."

Le gasp! Have fun :P

Sorry for the lack luster fight, couldn't really get any inspiration on writing that part.

Don't forget to leave a review on your way out.
