#33-Expectations

Wow, a whole month since I updated, hope you guys don't hate me... It's been so hectic, catching up with work, but finally a five day break, Memorial Day weekend!

They entered the large hall, through large elaborately carved oak doors. The two teens followed the Rain Guardian to where the King sat lazily in his chair, that is, until he noticed the teens that he requested for were announced to him rather loudly by his noblewoman.

Yamamoto bowed respectfully in front of the Large throne. Tsuna couldn’t help but still be in awe from when they first walked into the room. Jewels gleamed in the corners and walls that weren’t of stain glass window was decorated with elegant tapestry.

When The black haired soldier was dismissed, Tsuna watched as he passed nodding to him as he hastily walked out of the room.

“So.” The King’s voice echoed lazily, “I have something that’ll aid you in getting home, a mission if you will.” Gokudera looked at the king with anxious eyes, asking him to go on.

“I need you to investigate the dukes manor on the outskirts of town, you’ll be assisted with a spy who is already at one of our secret basses.” He stated, he looked at I-pin from the corner of his eye, checking if he left out anything.

She nodded and walked in front of the two, She looked at them with concerned eyes, “Please be careful, even though we have a pretty good idea who’s behind this chaos, we can’t afford you two to die.” She looked down to the book she had in hand, and wisped her finger upwards in the air, “You’ll need to be cloaked in this worlds clothing. and I’m afraid that Tsuna-sama will have to be…”

Tsuna twitched angrily as he looked into the mirror, “Dressed as a WOMAN!” he took a good handful of fabric in to his hands and brushed in to the long skirt with high slits on the side. He continued his rant, “Do I look like I have a sign saying ‘Cross dresser ’ on my head? NO!” He took another quick glance noticing that the skirt and the sleeveless shirt seemed to look as if they were attached with each other although separate, and his hair was no longer unruly and spiky, but straight and much longer than he expected, passing his shoulders.

I-pin entered the room, closing the door behind her. She bowed lowly, “Tsuna-sama, I beg for your forgiveness. I’m sorry but this the only way for outsiders and enemies not to become suspicious of our activity.” After she was finished, she opened the door back open and whispered outside, ‘He’s not ready yet, please wait a bit more.’ Tsuna could clearly hear what she said, but before he could say something the Chinese assassin was already inspecting him. She sighed as she circled around him, He could feel her tug at his skirt aligning it perfectly so the skirt wasn’t too high or too low, next she walked towards the dresser and grabbed the brush and jewelry. She motioned him to sit down at vanity mirror bench, she brushed his hair gently, for some reason he didn’t mind the soft tugs and twisting motions, they felt comfortable.

His eyes closed, he stiffened in surprise as cold metal made contact with his neck, he opened his eyes, in the mirror looked nothing like him, his hair was braided loosely, and a golden butterfly attached by a leather string.

He smiled brightly as I-pin giggled, “Thank you.” He said gratefully, even though he still didn’t like the idea of being in a dress. She replied with a humorous wink, “Don’t just thank me yet.”

She opened the door, and a foreign looking man walked in. Tsuna looked quizzically at the scholar, “Who is this?” He then looked at the man once more, walking closely with his face very near the taller man’s. His eyes widened, “Gokudera?”

The man nodded, Tsuna frowned. “Why didn’t you tell me?”

I-pin chuckled, “He was in awe by your appearance, Tsuna-sama!” Tsuna blushed, and took a step back.

His gaze trailed Gokudera’s clothed body, the shirt he was wearing was double belted one below his waist and another on his waist both visible over the forest Navy blue shirt underneath. He wore a crimson cape that draped over his shoulders, with tan pants and black boots with belts and straps all over them. But what surprised Tsuna the Most was the color of his hair, the silver locks were dyed a Dark blue, darker that the bottom of the ocean blue. He couldn’t help but walk towards him and finger few of the locks. ‘They’re still soft as always though…’

“You’re beautiful.” Gokudera stated trying to leave the exasperated tone form his voice, but he was still amazed what I-pin could do to him. With his gloved hands, Gokudera cupped the brunette’s chin and brought their faces together.

Before any contact was made, the door swung open and stood the Rain Knight with his Cheshire grin. “Ready to go?” Gokudera was about to run and attempt to do damage to the goofy man, but Tsuna stopped him, grabbing onto his arm and walking him out. Yamamoto Smiled, ‘They’re all too alike, it’s creepy.’

--

Entering into town, both were walking carefully down the streets. Tsuna clenched the explosive genius’s arm, Gokudera winced but didn’t say anything, knowing that his boss was given mixed stares of lust, disgust, and disapproval.

They continued walking until they reached the end town, Tsuna couldn’t help but want to hold on to Gokudera’s arm, but he stopped himself. He looked ahead and saw a woman waving, he couldn’t see hear too well, but he could see her maroon peasant dress.

When they were close enough to see her face, Tsuna recognized her right away. Although her normal raspberry hair was the same dark navy blue as Gokudera’s and she had a pair of simple made glasses that sat comfortably on the bridge of her nose.

“Bianchi?!” Tsuna spurt out in disbelief, Gokudera gawked at his sister. He couldn’t believe that his sister looked so different in this world, or was she undercover like they were?

Bianchi noticed the looks directed to her, she smiled slyly, “Hello, Sawada-sama, Hayato.”

She bowed lowly. Tsuna was caught off guard once again as he asked, “How did you know it was us?” She kept he profile the same, “The king sent a man ahead of time, both of us will be leading you into the Dukes Manor.”

“A man?” Gokudera inquired, raising his dyed blue brow. Bianchi lead them into the wooden structure that she was stand near. Pushing the double doors in they were welcomed with an empty and eerie silence that loomed to what seemed the whole house. She pointed to the darker room to their left as she walked up the creaking staircase.

“He’s in there and very anxious to meet you.”

Tsuna was about to walk in first, but Gokudera insisted to enter. Tsuna spotted the man in the corner drinking from a glass of clear liquid, he eyed the brunette then looked back to his drink. Tsuna leaned slightly over, trying to get a peak of who was the mysterious man under the dark hood.

Finally he caught a glimpse of his face, he took a sharp surprised breath, “H-Hibari-san!”
