Sorry about not posting this yesterday. I got sick with cramps plus lack of sleep. Moving onwards!
I recommend people who do not know Trinisette, Unleashed to read it since you probably won't understand this if you haven't read it. This chapter is set right after First Day in TU where Hibari and Mukuro break down the door.
Hmmn... I don't know whether I'm satisfied with this chapter or not but I will say that I did have fun writing it. Just warning though, don't expect Daemon to be all nice and cuddly in this story always.
Disclaimer: I don't own KHR and if I did, rabid fangirls would come after me demanding for Hibari or Mukuro or any eligible character that they want.
Warning: Contains some very disturbing thoughts courtesy of our favorite Melon Mist Guardian
Daemon decided that he didn't like their look-alikes the moment they brought down the door that led to that little Gokudera Hayato's room. They haven't been here for twenty-fours yet and they're already wrecking it! Even he and Alaude hadn't done any damage to the mansion until thirty-two hours after moving in.
Breakfast wasn't as awkward as last night, but the rest hasn't still gotten used to the children and by the rest; Daemon meant G, Lampo and Alaude (if you can count him in).
Daemon's eye twitched. Why the hell were they sitting so far away from him?
Tsuna was sitting next to Giotto - who was at the head of the table - facing G. Besides G was Gokudera, next to him was Yamamoto and Asari. After those two idiots were Knuckle and Ryohei, two even bigger idiots that Daemon has ever met and they were on the opposing side where Daemon sat. Sitting beside Tsuna was Lampo and beside him was Lambo, who was supposed to sit beside Daemon… but the brat was sitting at least five meters away from him, it was the same with the other one on Daemon's left; Mukuro sat far from him along with Chrome. Alaude and Hibari weren't there because Alaude had left early and Hibari just didn't want to eat with them and opted to stay in his room.
It annoyed him to no end that the children were avoiding him.
He huffed. Fine, he liked it that way.
At the head of the table, Giotto could clearly see that his Mist guardian was sulking. Last night G had rubbed it in Daemon's face how even Alaude was likable enough be approached by children, while he was avoided like a plaque. If Giotto didn't know G, he would never understood the double meaning behind that taunt that Daemon was incapable of having children.
Usually, Daemon wouldn't be affected by G's taunting and would have brushed it off, only this time G had struck a hard blow to his man pride and comparing him to Alaude. This was a fact known by everyone in the Vongola: Daemon does not like to be lower than Alaude.
Tsuna on the other hand, was feeling a pending sense of dread. Times like this he just knew something was up, and he didn't mean that his newly adopted Father was planning to skip work and pig out in G's room. No, it felt like those times that involves him running around in his boxers. He hoped that it wouldn't happen.
One the other side of the mansion, the door leading into Daemon Spade's room opened. Light spilled into the dark room. The intruder smiled and went inside.
In Gokudera's room though, a ball of yellow spotted fur uncurled itself and jumped down, stretching as it did so. After the carnivore and the Italian-pineapple head had left with the rest of the adults, the animals had come out. Kojiro went back to his owner while Natsu and Uri stayed behind.
Bored out of her mind, Uri decided to explore the place while dragging Natsu by the tail.
Poor Natsu didn't want to leave the safety of the room but Uri had said it was going to be fun and that they weren't going to be noticed; Natsu thought skeptically that how could anyone not notice a leopard and lion cub with actual flames as his mane. She said all this enthusiastically, reassuring him that if things comes to worst she would handle it. So reluctantly (actually forced), Natsu went with her.
Their soft paws didn't make a sound as they padded down the corridor. Natsu trailed behind Uri as she paraded proudly without fear through the long and empty corridor.
'I don't think we should be walking around without our masters,' Natsu mewed to Uri.
Uri didn't listen to him as her ears perked up. Crouching down, she made her way to the corner and sat there. Natsu prowled behind her, his face clearly saying 'I knew this was a bad idea.'
Uri peeked and saw a maid fixing herself up. Something jostled in the maid's pocket and it poked out as she knelt down to fix her stocking. Uri instantly recognized it: the melon man's lenses.
Her lips pulled back in a feline snarl. That was not to be meant to be held by anyone, certainly not a low-class human in Uri's opinion. Natsu looked and had a similar look in his face, except his didn't have the same ferocity.
'That human is stealing that!' Uri hissed quietly.
'We have to take it back and bring it to our masters,' Natsu gao'd softly.
Uri nodded and together, both cubs approached the human slowly when...
"AHHHHHH!" the maid screamed as Uri launched herself in the maid's hair and began scratching every bit of skin she could reach.
"Get off!" she screamed and had managed to throw Uri off but hadn't noticed that Natsu had snagged Daemon's lenses during the confusion.
Uri landed on her feet gracefully and turned tail when Natsu ran past her. Both of them rounded around the nearest corridor and disappeared, leaving a raging fake-maid behind. "Stupid cats..." she felt for the bulge in her pocket and froze when she felt no bulge. If someone had discovered that she was a spy then...
"Come back here you stupid cats!" she shrieked and took off running.
~ Daemon Spade~
Daemon was very, very angry. Someone had dared to steal from him? Once he finds the deadman he will show him the most gruesome illusion he has yet to show. He will drive them into madness by making them watch themselves rip their intestines out and shoving it down their throats, rip open their rib cages and slaughter the inside with a blunt axe, crushing their skull and having soft white brain xxx splattered over the whole area with fresh blood raining out of their gouged eyes and all thrown into a pile of shit...
Sometimes Daemon was a sadist way too much for his own good.
What was stolen from him you ask? His lenses. He had come back to his room after breakfast to get his lenses before he went out on a mission. His lenses were hidden in a secret compartment within the headboard of his bed and when he came to get it, he found a fake instead.
No one. NO ONE steals his LENSES and gets away with it!
He stomped his way down the hallway and while at it, releasing a murderous aura that sent servants going in another direction the moment they felt it.
Tsuna felt it too, even though he was in the other side of the mansion. He was about to get inside of Gokudera's room when he felt the aura and stopped in his tracks. Gokudera didn't notice and called out, "Uri!"
There was no reply. Gokudera checked under the bed. "Oi Uir, are you there?" Gokudera said.
"Uri?" Gokudera checked his closet, the covers on the bed, the top of his furniture, and the bathroom. Feeling slightly panicked, he called out shakily, "Na-Natsu?" There was no reply either.
"Jyuddaime!" Gokudera came stumbling out of the door.
"Gokudera-kun, what's wrong?" Tsuna asked.
"I can't find Uri or Natsu!" Gokudera cried.
"Oh no... what if someone sees them?" Tsuna half-shrieked. "We have got find them!"
Gokudera nodded. They ran down the hall, intending to go to the kitchen if Uri and Natsu were hungry when something caught Tsuna's eye as they passed through an open window. He stopped and Gokudera stopped as well.
"Jyuddaime?"
"I found them!" Tsuna said as he pointed to where he saw a yellow-spotted tail with red flames sprouting from the end of it. "They were going to the green houses!"
When they got to the green houses, Tsuna got caught in the middle of another one-sided cat brawl between Uri and Natsu the moment he stepped through the door.
"Uri!" Gokudera said, scandalized as he pried his partner off of his beloved boss. When he did succeed at that, Tsuna looked like he had braved the jungle.
"Uri, what did you think you were doing?" Gokudera demanded his partner. Uri's only reply was a claw to the face.
Once Tsuna recovered, he shook his partner awake gently. Natsu got up and started shaking his mane around. Tsuna noticed something clamped between Natsu's jaws that awfully looked like...
"HIIIIIEEEEEEEEEE! Daemon Spade's lenses!" Tsuna cried. "Natsu! What did you think you were doing with this?"
Natsu shrunk from where he sat, ears flat and body curled. Tsuna pulled back and patted his partner. "Gomen Natsu," he said.
Natsu licked his partner's hand in response, as if he was saying 'I forgive you.'
Gokudera on the other hand, was screaming his head off at Uri and had managed to get himself in a fight with his cat. They rolled around the ground by Tsuna's feet. Tsuna tried to help he couldn't get close since claws and fists were flying about. When they were done fighting, Gokudera looked like he was thrown in a lion's den.
"What are we going to do Gokudera-kun?" Tsuna said. If Daemon found them with this, very very bad things will happen.
"I know Jyuddaime! Let's hide it Alaude's room! Maybe those two can finish each other off!"
"Gokudera-kun!" Tsuna said in a reprimanding tone.
Gokudera scratched his head apologetically. "Sorry Jyuddaime," he said.
Tsuna sighed. "Let's just get it back to Daemon's room before he -" he got cut off as the doorknob to the greenhouse rattled, along with a muffled voice coming from the outside.
Glancing at each other with panic in their eyes, they picked their partners up and hid themselves seconds before the door opened. Gokudera hid behind several pots of plants while Tsuna hid under the shelf where various gardening tools were.
The fake-maid stepped into the greenhouse, sure that those stupid cats went here.
Tsuna and Natsu were still as stone while Gokudera and Uri were struggling. Tsuna felt like he would have a heart attack every time the leaves where Gokudera and Uri hid moved when the fake-maid's back was turned.
"If I don't find those stupid cats soon I'll be found out," she muttered under her breath.
Tsuna and Gokudera's eyes widened: this woman was a spy. Not only that, she was looking for Natsu and Uri, which means... Tsuna glanced down on his left hand where he held Daemon's lenses. She was after this then.
She turned on her heel and left, slamming the door behind her as she did. After a few minutes, the two boys crawled out of their hiding places. Natus and Uri returned to their VG gear.
"We really need to get these back," Tsuna said.
"But Jyuddaime, what about the woman? She's a spy," Gokudera said, worried that if they left the woman alone she would be a problem to the family later on - a problem for the First Generation that is.
"We'll do something about her later. Right now, we have other things to worry about." Tsuna said.
Bringing it back to Daemon's room was harder than they thought it would be; the rooms for the First Generation family was on the western wing of the mansion whereas Tsuna's friends were at the eastern wing where guests stayed. They haven't had their rooms secured in the western wing yet so they were staying at the east.
The problem were the servants.
They went up and down the hallways like guard dogs, even if they had somewhere else to be, one they leave, other servants would come in their place. It was like they were patrolling, only in a very subtle way. The eastern wing didn't have that much servants walking around the whole day so Tsuna and co. can do as they pleased.
The closer they got to Daemon's room, the harder it was to get past the servants so they had one option left: breaking in the old fashion way AKA flying into Daemon's room via window.
Which they were now doing. Tsuna hovered in the air with one hand while holding Gokudera's left hand. Carefully, he set Gokudera down on the balcony outside of Daemon's room before landing gently and distinguishing the flame on his forehead. Gokudera picked the lock and had managed to open the window.
Tsuna expected an old-fashioned torturing chamber complete with hanging skeletons on the walls except Daemon's room wasn't far from the ordinary. They stepped into the room.
Not knowing where to put it, Tsuna set the lenses on Daemon's desk. He hoped that Daemon hadn't figured out that his lenses got stolen and was out for blood right about now.
Turning back to Gokudera, Tsuna said, "Let's get back before - "
"Nufufufu... who dares to come here?" Daemon appeared as the doorway swung open like a scene from a horror movie.
No escaping now, they were dead meat.
Daemon casually walked forward, a glare on his face and a murderous intent in his eyes. "What. Are. You. Doing. Here?" he said, each word promising pain if they lie.
"W-w-w-we found these... at the green house a-a-and thought that these might be yours." Tsuna pointed at the lenses.
Gokudera stood protectively in front of Tsuna.
"Is that so?" Daemon's eyes narrowed as the stared them down. Tsuna gulped, sometimes size could be really intimidating.
"You have three seconds to leave." Daemon said. Or Die. Tsuna didn't need to be telepathic to finish that sentence. Daemon was giving them a warning or threatening them.
They left quickly but not before Tsuna tripped on his own feet and had to see a glimpse of the horrendous illusion that Daemon was planning for the thief. Green and pale, Tsuna scrambled up to his feet and ran with Gokudera in tow.
"Jyuddaime!" Gokudera rubbed small circles on Tsuna's back as he puked out his breakfast.
It was horrible. Forget what Mukuro could do and that he defeated Daemon in the future; that was the sickest thing he had ever seen. Cursing himself for getting caught in an illusion, Tsuna wiped his mouth.
"Jyuddaime?" Gokudera asked.
Tsuna smiled shakily. "I'm fine Gokudera-kun." then promptly fainted while his eyes swirled.
"Jyuddaime!"
It was one thing to mess with the Tenth Generation but to mess with their boss' mind? Gokudera was ready to explode.
~ Hibari Kyoya ~
Hibari listened to Hibird's report about a strange maid wandering around the mansion looking for some 'cats'. Hibari had not seen any animals yet and was sure who those 'cats' were. Hibari's eye twitched. Leave it to the herbivores to cause problems. If someone found about their identity then it would cause delays and Hibari did not like to be kept away from Namimori anymore than he was.
Jumping down from his room on the second floor, he searched out for the strange woman.
When he found her, she was cursing silently to herself.
"How could I be careless?" she said as she ripped her apron off. "I should leave now before the Vongola finds out that Daemon Spade's lenses were missing."
If there was one thing about bad-guy logic that everyone knew it was that every bad guy kept sprouting off their plans to the good guys... er... or in this case, people who are hunting after them like Hibari.
He generally doesn't hurt women but he made exceptions if they were really a bother, like this one. Tonfas out, he approached the fake-maid.
The moment Hibari unmasked his presence, the fake-maid whirled around with wicked sharp knives in her hands. It didn't take long for Hibari to knock her out by throwing his tonfa at her head. He stood over her, thinking what he should do with her. Dispose her? Perhaps not. they would go looking for her body if she went missing. A thought came to him and a slight smirk reached his lips. He'd never did it before, it would be interesting how this would turn out.
~ Vongola Family ~
Yamamoto, Ryohei, Chrome, Lambo and Gokudera were in Tsuna's room. After Tsuna fainted, Gokudera managed to carry the small brunette to his room and laid him down before getting the rest of them. He told the others what happened. He watched their faces morph into anger.
"We should EXTREMELY avenge Sawada!" Ryohei said.
Gokudera scowled. "We can't stupid-turf top. We can't do anything to him at all without risking the future."
"But we can't just let this slide." Yamamoto said, frowning.
Chrome didn't speak as she patted Tsuna's hand comfortingly.
"Then what should we extremely do?" Ryohei said.
"Yare, yare, why don't we just tell the first generation?" Lambo said.
They all looked at each other.
"Stupid cow, we can't just do that. They wouldn't believe us!" Gokudera said.
"Ugh..." Tsuna moaned in his sleep. His face scrunched up as if he was dreaming something unpleasant, which he was. Chrome slipped off the bed.
"I'll go get some water for boss," she said as she opened the door, only to run into Giotto and fall back. Giotto quickly caught her and steadied her.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to bump into you." Giotto said.
"I-It's fine." Chrome blushed.
Giotto was excited. He had finished his paperwork in a frenzy to spend time and get to know Tsuna today. He even managed to snag G out of his work as well.
"Giotto-san!" Gokudera exclaimed as he appeared before them.
"You're here too brat?" G said, appearing beside Giotto.
"G, don't call him a brat." Giotto scolded his friend. Turning to Gokudera, he smiled warmly. "Call me Uncle from now on Hayato."
Gokudera blushed like no tomorrow.
"You're really into this aren't you?" G whispered to him only to be elbowed in the ribs by Giotto.
"Anyway, is Tsuna here?" Giotto asked.
A soft moan caught their attention. "I forgot! Excuse me please." Chrome said to Giotto and G before running out.
"Tsuna?" Giotto called and went inside. When he saw how sickly looking Tsuna was in bed, he rushed over to feel the boy's clammy forehead which was cold to the touch.
"What happened to him?" he asked the children.
It was Lambo who spoke, "It was Daemon Spade."
Giotto narrowed his eyes. Daemon would do this? No, he wouldn't do this without a reason. G crossed his arms.
"So what happened?" G demanded.
What were they going to say? They can't just tell them that two box animals had discovered a spy who tried to steal Daemon's lenses and stole it from said spy and brought it back to their masters who had to bring it back before Daemon went on a rampage. Thankfully, they didn't have to as Lampo skidded outside the door.
"Primo! Come and take a look at this!" Lampo said.
"We'll come back okay?" Giotto said and followed his Lightning Guardian. Chrome came in after a second they left with a bowl of water and a towel. Curious as to what happened and hoping it wasn't a threat, Yamamoto opted to follow them with Lambo and Ryohei.
"Where you going baseball nut?" Gokudera called.
"I'm going to check what's going on. You're going to guard Tsuna right Gokudera?" Yamamoto said cheerfully.
"Of course I will! As Jyuddaime's right-hand man I will guard him with my life!" Gokudera yelled at him.
Yamamoto laughed. "Then we'll leave it to you!"
"Watch over Tsuna will you Chrome?" Yamamoto said as they passed her by.
It was one heck of a surprise for Giotto and G when they discovered a bound up and gagged maid on their front doorstep. Standing over her with his arms crossed was Hibari. Yamamoto and the others gaped at him.
"Attacking women isn't a man's way Hibari!" Ryohei shouted at Hibari as he raised his fists for a fight.
"I'm not interested to fight you herbivore." Hibari told him.
"Nani?" Ryohei roared, insulted.
"What all this?" Alaude said as he stepped outside. One look at Hibari then to the maid, Alaude pulled his handcuffs out and approached Hibari who, given his stubborn nature, wouldn't move an inch.
"Explain." Alaude commanded.
Hibari's eyes narrowed dangerously. He didn't like to be ordered around, it wasn't in his nature to do so. Yamamoto sensed the oncoming danger and moved towards Hibari.
"Maa, maa Hibari-sempai. Can you tell us why you attacked a maid?" Yamamoto asked as friendly as he could.
"The herbivore was trying to leave the premises without permission." Hibari told him.
"So you bitted her to death?" Yamamoto said incredelously. Hibari glared at him. "The herbivore kept talking to herself. Saying things that she should leave before she gets caught."
"Caught by who?" Giotto asked.
"By you," Hibari said.
"Why would she be caught by Uncle Giotto?" Yamamoto asked. Unlike Gokudera, Yamamoto had no problem calling Giotto Uncle.
"Something about the melon herbivore's lenses."
"Daemon's lenses?" Giotto said quietly.
"You mean the ones that Sawada and Octopus-head found in the green house?" Ryohei asked.
"Wait, wait, wait." G said, raising his hands.
"You're telling me that this woman," he pointed at the maid, "is a spy who stole Daemon's lenses? No wonder that creep was in a bad mood."
"It's tried to steal." Lambo corrected then he started to tell them of what they knew. When he was done, a horrible smile was plastered on Giotto's face as he tried to keep his face calm. Everyone took a step back from him except Hibari and Alaude. G felt sorry for Daemon but he did use his illusion, on a child no less.
"Alaude, please take this young lady away." Giotto said, that horrible smile still on his face.
Alaude, who wasn't scared of anything, didn't want to know what the blonde had in mind because he had been on the recieving end of that smile before and that was when they were still young and had only started the Vongola. Right now though, it looked like Daemon was going to get something worse than he did.
"G, Lampo." Giotto turned to them.
Cringing at the sight of his best friend, G could only listen to what Giotto was about to say while Lampo was shaking in his shoes. "Take the children to the garden will you? I'm sure Asari and Knuckle are having their tea right about now," Giotto said, adding another dose of sickening sweetness to his horrible smile.
Lampo was too glad to leave Giotto's presence. "Come on you brats," he said as he shephered them out.
"What is Uncle Giotto going to do to the extreme?" Ryohei asked him when they were out of earshot.
"Probably something bad." Bad didn't even cover what Giotto was going to do and Lampo was glad he didn't have to be there to see it.
"If Vongola Primo is like that, think about what Young Vongola might grow up to be." Lambo muttered, shuddering at the thought of it.
"Ugh...that would be extremely bad..." Ryohei said.
"Haha," Yamamoto laughed nervously. "I don't think Tsuna won't be like that." He wasn't sure about that one at all. Primo and Tsuna were too alike for their own good, who knows what Tsuna would be like?
G followed them, thinking that he better warn Asari and Knuckle not to go into their rooms later until repairs were done and that he better warn the Head Butler to evacuate the entire floor.
Giotto went down the corridor and stopped in front of Daemon's door. He knocked before opening the door.
Daemon almost jumped out of his skin when Giotto walked into his room all of a sudden. Dreading that his doom was close. He couldn't help it; it was his pride as an aristocrat. He wouldn't let anyone walk away before teaching them something. He didn't even know what Tsuna saw in that short moment of time. What Daemon did not know was that in that glimpse was a combination of every single gore movie that Tsuna has and has not scene. It officialy outranked the Human Centipede that Tsuna was forced into watching once. Knowing or not, he was still screwed.
"Is there something you need Giotto?" Daemon asked, trying to keep his voice leveled.
"Hmmn? Oh yes," Giotto closed the door silently. "What have I said about using illusions on people who are not the enemies?"
Daemon considered jumping out the window but Giotto blocked his way. Hands and foreheads ablaze, Giotto stood there. Like a cornered mouse, Daemon backed into a wall.
Five seconds later, a shockwave ran through the entire mansion like an earthquake; Gokudera and Chrome held on to the sides of the bed where Tsuna still slept on peacefully as the tremors passed. From the outside, Asari, Knuckle, Lampo and G sweatdropped as the windows of the whole second floor shattered with sky flames spitting out of them.
"That idiot... he really overdid it." G said, disbelief in his tone.
Asari laughed nervously.
"God have mercy on Daemon," Knuckle said as he made a sign of the cross.
"Yare, yare, he's going to give himself a headache from the paperwork that he's gonna get." Lampo said.
The children though, were silently cowering in the background. Daemon should be alive...right? It wasn't like Giotto really wanted to kill him right?
Closing the door behind him, Giotto dusted his hands in satisfaction. That would teach Daemon not to use illusions so carelessly. From the other side of the mansion, in the eastern wing, Mukuro silently chuckled. It wasn't Daemon who conjured that illusion, it was Mukuro.
Feeling satisfied for his little revenge, Mukuro went back to eating a tray of snacks on his side while reading a book.
So I made Daemon the victim that was framed by Mukuro XD
I know I said that I would make Daemon likeable but let me tease him in this story please? I hope I didn't do a bad job at the first chapter. Anyway, check out the new poll I have for the next chapter!
