BEING 27 (KHR Fanfic)

Appearance, Disappearance, Reappearance

It was dead silent until Sora and Kakeru laughed at the same time. Sora's laughter didn't hold the evil in Kakeru's cackle though. They stopped short and glared at each other promising painful death to each other.

Sora then threw it off and smiled at Tsuna. "What an idiot, right? Tsu-nii." Sora chuckled, momentarily forgetting the bloody stakes on his feet. Tsuna didn't respond. Leaving the half mask on his face, he looked at his bleeding foot, which he had forcefully tore a metal nail out of it, taking a few hard steps then deciding it wouldn't kill him.

He walked over to Sora, but was stopped in his tracks by Iemitsu. "Tsuna...what is the meaning of this...?"

Tsuna didn't respond. It was Sora who did. "It's your own bloody fault for believing a fake like Kakeru! And then you treated your own son like shit! Have you no shame, you stupid dick!"

"Why on earth does he have such colorful vocabulary? Dame-Tsuna, did you teach him that?" Kakeru asked. Tsuna sighed and shook his head, then he turned his attention to Iemitsu.

"This is nothing out of the ordinary." he said. "You just knew nothing about me."

At that, Tsuna completely dropped interest in Iemitsu and turned to Kakeru. "You should know what's going to happen, now that you've awakened."

Kakeru sighed. "Fuck it. With me awakened, I'm invincible."

"No, you're not." Tsuna said.

Kakeru grumbled. Tsuna continued. "There's only one thing that can stop you now, after the ones who sealed you have disappeared. That's coming this very moment."

Kakeru groaned. "Well, I guess nothing is perfect..."

Sora's brain suddenly processed something. "Wait, something could actually stop the damn bastard?"

Tsuna and Kakeru nodded. "The Vindice."

Sora was confused. "Wait, why?"

"Because the Vindice have those flames, and somehow they repel the effects of his powers." Tsuna explained.

Sora was bewildered. Those flames? Does he mean the flames of the Night? And how can those flames repel the effects of this overpowering Kakeru?

"Like I give a fucking damn. I'm finally free after all these years, and I want to STAY free." Kakeru said. They weren't surprised at the answer.

Sora smirked. "That's what we were hoping for."

Kakeru glanced to the side to find a fist connecting with his face. He cringed for a while.

"You might have the power, but it doesn't matter if you don't use it before you get hit." Sora said, smirk glorious on his face.

Tsuna cracked his knuckles, completely removing his torn jacket. Kakeru groaned and a few knives, Belphegor's, flew at Tsuna. Tsuna narrowly avoided each one. Then Sora punched him from behind.

"My hands are still free, y'know." Sora reminded. And all of a sudden two nails flew down and staked his hands to the ground. "OW!" Sora yelled, a little sarcastically. The pain was obvious in his face, but he shined a crooked smile.

"Never turn your back on an enemy. We've told you that, right?" Tsuna was behind him, a long katana from who-knows-where pointed at Kakeru's throat. "You can kill me if you want. No guarantee I won't be able to kill you before I die."

Kakeru 'tch'ed. They were interrupted by a dark, black mist. They all knew in that instant.

The Vindice was here.
