Chapter 11
Once upon a time there was an innkeeper named Bella Venezia. She always asked her customers whether they had ever seen a more beautiful living being than herself. When they said they had not, she cut the price for their stay in half, but one day, a traveler said that he had seen such a woman: her son, whom was mistaken as a girl since Bella Venezia would just give him her old dresses.
Light then shone on a brunette holding a broom in a reasonably old dress.
Bella Venezia doubled the price of his stay instead of halving it, and had her son shut up in a tower with a single window. Then one day Bella asked again whether her customers had seen a woman more beautiful than herself, and a traveler said that he had seen a more beautiful woman, look from a tower. Bella Venezia then asked the kitchen boy if he would marry her, and he said yes; she then promise to marry him, too, if he killed her son. The kitchen boy led her son into the forest and killed a lamb in his stead.
The son wandered until he saw twelve robbers order a cave open and shut: "Open up dessert!" and "Close up, dessert!" He snuck inside and cleaned up the place, and then stole some of their food before hiding. The robbers set watch, but each robber waited outside for the person to sneak in, and so did not catch him until the chief robber waited inside and saw him.
He told him not to be afraid: he could stay and be their little brother; but one day, a robber went to Bella Venezia's inn and told her that a boy they had with them was far more beautiful than Bella.
A witch came by one day and Bella Venezia promised her half her fortune if she could put an end to the son. The witch went into the forest as a peddler, persuaded the boy to let her in while showing her a hair pin and thrust it into the boy's head. The robbers found his body, wept and buried him in a hollow tree.
One day a prince went hunting with his dogs and they sniffed out the tree where the boy was buried. He took his body back to the castle and could not bear to be away from him. His mother was angry and said that he could at least fix his appearance. This revealed the pin. When it was pulled out, the boy awoke.
On stage was a simple decoration of how a room should be, a bed where Tsuna was sitting on, a bedside table and a chair where Mochida sat.
Tsuna signaled him to pass him the glass of water on the table and Mochida did as he was told.
'Eh? This was not in the script! You little-' Mochida watched as Tsuna sipped the water and proceeded with his act.
"Would you marry me?" Mochida smiled as he held Tsuna's hands. Tsuna had to act as if he was surprised, and instead of answering the prince, he just nodded. Both teens leaned in to kiss.
It was a chaste kiss in which right after, Mochida slumped down on the floor. Everyone part of the crew freaked out, but Tsuna quickly signaled them to continue the act.
"Oh my! What have I done?" Tsuna get off the bed and got a hold of Mochida's limp body. "Who would've known that the witch's magic still lingered inside me?" Tears started to form in Tsuna's eyes. There was deafening silence echoing through the whole theater before Tsuna snapped back up.
"Oh no! If I stay here any longer, they are going to suspect me. What am I going to do?" Tsuna stood up and non-too lightly dropped Mochida's head on the floor. "I should escape before they come here." Once Tsuna left the stage lights went down.
Once the boy got out of the castle, he went back to the forest he used to live in.
The narrator read a piece of paper that had come flying to her.
He was able to meet with his brothers and lived a live happier than anyone.
Lights came back on and one by one, actors came back on the stage while the audience started clapping.
"The play has ended successfully, and when you are asked, you are going to say, 'I'm fine'." Tsuna whispered into Mochida's ear, whom was still knocked out. 'Haha, this was totally worth it! Guess I do owe Mukuro one. Hm, let's see,' Tsuna scratched his head. After thinking for some while, he gave up and took out a paper from his pockets, seeing as he couldn't concentrate with so much noise.
Give him the potion, say your commands, and snap your fingers. Tsuna grinned, but before he snapped his fingers, Tsuna murmured something else. Mochida instantly woke up with a start, just in time for their turn to walk onto stage.
Tsuna dragged the teen out, bowed in front of the audience and joined the whole crew. Once the last round of applause was over, lights dimmed once again and the audience started to disperse.
"Great job, everyone!" The director said once she had everyone's attention on her. "Mochida!" She called before said person could walk out. "What happened there?"
Mochida was dumbfounded not knowing what she was referring to. Everyone was slowly nodding in agreement, wanting to know why he had suddenly collapsed.
"You are lucky Tsunayoshi was able to continue the act. I won't push you if you don't want to talk about it, but are you ok?"
"I'm fine." Mochida plainly said before walking out.
"Then, I'll be leaving first." Tsuna said before following Mochida out the room.
"Mochida!" Tsuna said as he spotted the raven before him.
"Huh, what do you want, scum?" Mochida growled, before being caught off guard when a bag was thrown towards him.
"Carry my bag and follow me." Tsuna said with a smirk as he walked pass the teen. Mochida was about to say his ingenious come back, but was stopped when his body started to move on his own.
"He-hey! You little bastard! What have you done to my body? H-h-h-hey!"
When they walked out of the building they were met with the sight of seven people surrounded by a dark atmosphere while two others were standing separately away.
"Tsu-chan!" Lal and Luce snapped out of their trance, only to see their future victim. Mochida was trembling in fear as daggers were been glared at him.
"Thanks, Mukuro." Tsuna smiled at the teen, making everyone else curious.
"Mu-Mukuro-nii-sama?" Chrome didn't know what they were talking about even though she had been sure that she witnessed all the contacts they had between each other.
"There's no need to worry, after all, I got my own lackey!" Tsuna cheered a little bit too happily.
"Eh?" Everyone, including Mochida, screamed.
And CUT! That's all folks! haha I'll try and be faster next time...
