Michael Kingsfield v.s. Sawada Tsunayoshi, Don't-Wake-Hibari Contest

[Anonymous]

This takes place in...well, the Discipline Committee lounge. Conveniently when the chairman, namely Hibari Kyouya, is napping quite peacefully on the couch.

Remember when Sawada Tsunayoshi was in the hospital with him? He is easily awaken, even by the sound of a dropping leaf.

Your task is to lure Hibird out of the room. It's perched on the couch arm right next to Hibari's head, preparing to give its master his wake-up call when he wants it. The person to successfully lure it out, wins.

Be careful though, the bird is rather impatient at the moment. It is waiting for an opportunity to open its beak and alert its master.

If Hibari does wake up, you can either take the hit or run away. He won't chase after you if you leave the room quick enough, don't worry.

First, you should assemble in front of the office. The door is closed. You will be given the signal to start in a while.

[Sawada Tsunayoshi]

He paced back and forth sweating bullets and chewing nervously on his fingernails, or at least tapping them apprehensively against his teeth. Tsuna's entire frame, however frail it may appear to be, shook as he stopped, glanced at the office, and then proceeded to pace again. Normally in these type of situations he wouldn't have dared enter, but he hadn't had much of a choice. Not when Reborn had threatened him about his friends.

Right now though he worried more about himself. He knew what the task at hand entailed, and knew that it wasn't going to be an easy one, especially when Hibari was involved. Tsuna all-too-readily remembered the incident in the hospital when he had desperately tried to stay quiet so he wouldn't wake Hibari. It had ended in a disaster, and Tsuna had wound up more injured than he already had been at the time.

Just thinking about it made him groan and his body ache in familiarity.

Don't think about it, don't think about it, he told himself in vain, just making his mind reel over the painful memories more and more. I don't wanna be here!

Maybe he could skip out. Pretend he was sick or something, but that wouldn't be acceptable. How would he face his friends again if he did something as cowardly as that? He would re-become "No-Good Tsuna" and that was something he didn't want. After gaining the amount of friends he had, he found he couldn't let them down, no matter how much he may hate what he had to go through.

[Michael Kingsfield]

Like always, Michael was calm about the situation. He still didn't understand why he joined in the first place, he always avoided the spots lights, and now this. Now was not the time to think about impulses, he needed a strategy to get that bird out. For now he had to concentrate on that, and perhaps he could ensure that his opponent was even more stressed then he already was.

As he came to the appointed place he saw that the Vongola Junior was already there. He smiled as he walked up to him, slightly looking up from the book that had been reading the whole time.

"Ah, Vongola Junior, you don't mind if I call you that right?" He ensured that his smile was pointed at the kid directly, he had to look friendly for the first phase of the plan to succeed. "I am Michael, glad to meet you, it seems you'll be my opponent!"

He immediately reached out his hand, as it was common for the British. Without even giving the Vongola Junior a change to talk he rambled on. "We've been pitted into a hard match as our first, now haven't we? It's really unfair..." He gave a broken smile to let it look like he really was worried about this.

[Hibari Kyouya]

[ooc: Haha, the music fits my entrance. OkayI'mlame.]

"What are you doing crowding here?"

The voice (and words) only had to belong to the man himself. Hibari Kyouya had arrived, not seeming to be in a good mood (considering they were crowding in front of his office). His yellow companion flew towards him and settled on his head, chirping the Namimori anthem. Fortunately, it did not look like he was expecting an answer from either, and instead walked past them and opened his door.

"If you dare enter, I'll bite you to death."

And with a yawn and a chirp from the bird, he closed the door. Looks like you have to wait till he is asleep before you could enter. Or you can just start anytime now.

[Sawada Tsunayoshi]

The name more than anything alerted Tsuna. Shoulders tensed, he turned and faced Kingsfield as he approached, opening his mouth to say something. He missed the chance to say anything, especially to tell the person before him that he had nothing to do with the mafia. Still in denial, just like always.

Opening his mouth again to speak, Tsuna barely managed a single syllable before Hibari arrived on the scene.

"H-Hibari-san!" Tsuna squeaked, stating the obvious.

He couldn't help it though. Whenever Hibari presented himself in any situation, Tsuna always felt apprehensive, even when he felt a belt relieved. "Cloud guardian" fit him well, though Tsuna wouldn't admit it. Mafia business was not his own business.

After Hibari disappeared behind the door, Tsuna turned to Kingsfield. "I would really prefer not to be associated with a mafia name, especially that one." Something seemed to click in his mind, "Are you a part of the mafia as well?!"

He suddenly seemed frightened, losing sight of the task at hand. Maybe this man was a potential threat to Tsuna's health, and had joined the games in order to harm Tsuna or his friends. The simplistic thought sent a tremor through Tsuna's joints.

[Michael Kingsfield]

Calculating as ever he already had the whole plan written down, he would first search for information about Birds, that way, he could soon get the answers he needed. Then he could easily win this contest.

While he still deep inside his own thoughts he heard a voice on the background, the target arrived.

He turned to his small opponent and smiled. "I think the term bystander would best explain my situation, I am nothing like these scary people!" He just hoped the theater would at least trick him for now, this ensure he could focus on getting that bird out of there.
