GOKUDERA & THE SEVEN DWARVES (PART 1)
Disclaimer: I didn't own Katekyo Hitman Reborn. I just borrowed the characters as I really love YamaGoku. Plus, this is a twist of the Snow White's & Beuaty & The Beast's story... Welp. The idea is there ahahahaha .
________________________________________________________________
Once upon a time, there lived a beautiful young princess....
"WHAT THE?!! I'm obviously a boy!! YOU DAMN STUPID NARRATOR!!" yelled the protagonist of this story.
Cough...cough.... I apologize for my ignorance... let us starts again from the beginning...
----
Once upon a time, there lived a beautiful young prince...
"AND I DEMAND A HANDSOME AND MASCULINE PRINCE WHO IS THE DESERVING RIGHT HAND MAN FOR THE TENTH! NOT BEAUTIFUL FOR HEAVEN’S SAKE!!!"
..... luckily for the protagonist of this story, he couldn't see the vein almost popping out from the narrator's forehead.
The narrator thus refused to accept the protagonist’s stupid demand and so she continued the story.
-----
There lived a beautiful young prince named Gokudera Hayato, whose skin as white as snow and hair as silver as a silver spoon ...
"WHAT THE F***?!! My hair is not as silver as a spoon!!! If you wanted to give a comparison, do it correctly, YOU STUPID WOMAN! AND I DON'T WANT TO BE CALLED BEAUTIFUL YOU #$%#%#^ NARRATOR!!"
“…FOR HEAVEN’S SAKE!! THIS IS MY GODDAMN STORY! JUST GO ALONG WITH IT!!!"
The protagonist flinched at the sudden outburst before he gave a small huffed.
"Good... now where were we..."
----
The prince lived with his step-sister, Bianchi, who loved him dearly (although he found it quite annoying) and always made sure that her dear little brother was safe within their castle grounds. She always tailed him whenever he went to feed the chickens and the horses. Since the day their parents went out for an endless journey, the butler and the maid in the castle was dismissed by Bianchi, the prince was left with no choice but to be responsible in feeding their pet-animals. If they were to be left in his sister's hand, they will definitely be poisoned to death! Just remembering the food made by Bianchi made him shiver and his stomach uncomfortable.
Inside the castle, Bianchi was yet again trying her best to throw a feast for her dear brother. Not satisfied with what she had made, she sought help from her beloved and trustworthy magic mirror.
"Mirror mirror on the wall... what's the most delicious feast of them all. That, of course, will make my dear brother happy?"
"My dear, sweet princess, it is white rice and raw fish which can make your little brother happy."
This made Bianchi blinks repeatedly for a second. “White rice? With raw fish? What kind of food is that?! That will never make my brother happy!"
...and for once, Bianchi doubted her beloved magic mirror.
That evening, Bianchi, to the prince’s dismay, made him a feast of his favourite foods. Now, don't get him wrong. He loved his sister dearly, too, but whatever Bianchi made was not edible. He constantly wondered how his sister can make a simple dish turn out to be...to be..... so... purple... and may he add, poisonous. He remembered the time he ate his sister’s cooking like it was yesterday. The feeling that it gave him was painful resulted him into getting hospitalized for about a week! Afterward, seeing his sister face will made him remember the pain thus once again makes him collapsed; Bianchi was advised to wear a mask in front of Gokudera since that tragic day.
Now, do you see the point why the prince refused to eat everything Bianchi made?
Seeing the scary feast that was served before him along with that innocent (he wonder if it is truly innocent) smile of his sister made him determined to dash out of the castle door and to not ever look back. He doesn’t want to see Bianchi's hurt face with this decision he made. While he could survive with just a piece of cake, cookies or anything in a small quantity that his sister made but there's no way he could survive after eating all of that. So even this decision would make his sister sad, on the bright side, he would save his own life. Bless him.
After he ran deep into the woods he realized that he was now far away from his castle. He looked around to try and recognize his surroundings. It was dark so he couldn't see clearly, even with the help of the moonlight. Well, one thing he was glad for was that tonight was a full moon. He continued to walk randomly and noted to himself to not walk too far so he could make it back by tomorrow morning. When he was ready to settle himself for the night he saw a very old castle hidden in the forest. Without noticing, his feet led him there.
"Hello..." he greeted.
His voice echoed throughout the castle hall. He waited and there was no answer and so he decided to just let himself in. One thing he knew for sure, besides how scary the castle was, was that it wasn't helpful either. It was still dark and he preferred the forest since it had a natural light. But inside, he couldn't even see stairs....wait... did he just say stairs?... He stumbled and made a loud 'thump' when he fell on the ground.
"Oh f**king shit!!! WHAT THE HELL??!!!" he yelled loudly and again, it echoed throughout the castle.
"Who's there?" someone asked, the voice shaking with fear.
"Someone's here!!" and again come another voice and this time it was a little bit hard and angry.
"VOII!!!! Show yourself!!" ... this one was a bit loud!
"kufufu...this just became interesting..."
"No matter what is it, I'll just bite it to death!"
...eh? what???!!
"Uwaaahhh.... Lambo-san wanna pee... Tsuna!!"
"I'm somewhat hungry..."
Prince Gokudera braced himself and looked around until he found seven small figures up on the stairs.
"You have woken me up from my slumber and now I'll bite you to death..." said the small figure, with tonfas on both of his hands and ready to strike him.
"wa-wait.. Hibari-san!" The small dwarf with brown hair hugged Hibari as tight as he could to prevent him from attacking the visitor.
Although it seemed kind of stupid to Gokudera at how the dwarf trying to calm his friend from attacking him, he obviously knew for sure that this Hibari-dwarf was going to attack his friend next. Surprisingly he obeyed and stopped his action. This left the prince bewildered.
"Tsuna-kun!! You have to hug me too!!"
The little dwarf with pineapple-styled hair dashes towards Tsuna but his advanced prevented by Hibari.
"I'll bite you to death..."
"kufufufu....I'll accept your challenge..."
The prince finally snapped! He was not going to watch anymore drama that these dwarves played in front of him. What was he? A person who was best ignored? (yes, the exact reason why he snapped was because they ignored him. He was the main character here! Oi!)
"Hey! What the hell is going on here?!" he asked rudely, not the way a graceful and beautiful prince should be.
"That should be our line, you scum!"
What the... Scum?!! When prince Gokudera was ready to retort back, suddenly the light from the castle blinded his eyes. He blinks a few times to adjust his eyes to get used to it. He scanned his surrounding, and to his surprise, the castle was neat and tidy. The inside did not totally mirror the outside appearance of the old castle.
“What are you guys up to in the middle of the night?”
The voice startled Gokudera.
“VOI!! It’s not in the middle of the night! It’s only 9!!”
Gokudera wondered why this dwarf couldn’t talk normally like the others (Well, they were all weird in some way…)
“Hahahaha….” The voice laughed.
Gokudera stared at the face of the voice’s owner. He couldn’t describe what creature this thing could possibly be! Calling him ‘thing’ rather than ‘human’ was probably wise.
I mean… look at that… his right hand was glued to a baseball bat, and who in the world wear a baseball uniform for pajamas? And what’s with the shape of his eyes? Baseball's ball? Huh?
“Hahahaha… didn’t your parents tell you that it is rude to stare?” asked the ‘thing’ with a laugh while rubbing the back of his head. “I’m Yamamoto Takeshi, the owner of this castle… but you can call me Beast,” Yamamoto continued, introducing himself “…and these cute little dwarves are my servants… You see, I was once a normal young prince who loved baseball dearly…”
“…wait..Wait!! I didn’t ask for the details.” Gokudera interjected. What’s with this beast? Introducing himself without anyone asking him to, then telling him story that he totally won’t bother about? However, it seemed that his interjection was futile. The beast went on with his story telling.
“During the day, I play baseball to my heart’s content and during the night I watch all the baseball matches on the TV. Basically, I’m in love with the sport…”
Okay… he totally did not want to know that details!
“One evening, this old woman appeared in front of the castle door. She asked me if she could seek shelter in my castle for the night, and I agreed. I kindly led her to a room she could stay in. However, she was not satisfied with it. She said it was too much for her and she couldn’t possibly stay in it. But I told her that all the rooms in the castle were designed with baseball wallpapers, baseball beds, baseball pillows and all… you know…”
Without a doubt, he is a baseball freak…, the prince thought.
“I didn’t mean to tease that old lady or something. I didn’t mean to make her angry and I was positively sure that she was joking when she said that she was offended. I mean, who can be offended by just mere baseball images… It’s cool!”
Well… I totally will not feel offended but annoyed I will!
“Hahahaha,” the beast laughed again and continued, “So she threatened me to give her a normal room to sleep in or she will turn me into a beast. But I didn’t have a room that has a plain decoration so… hahahahaha, I become like this and turnabout she’s a very beautiful fairy…hahahaha….”
…..okay… now it seems that the old woman… I mean the fairy, is the villain here… Who could turn someone into something like… The prince scanned Yamamoto carefully. Well, that gave him justice though. He is totally a baseball freak so this image fit him better. HELL??!! What the hell am I doing anyway? Listening to his story and be concerned about it?!
Once again, Gokudera tried to speak his mind, but again, the baseball freak (he felt that baseball freak was appropriate than calling him a beast) interrupted him, “So you see, with right hand like this I decided to hire these cute little dwarves. Let me introduce them to you…”
Yamamoto slung his arms around the silver-haired dwarf’s shoulder and smiled widely, “This is Doc the Squalo. He is really good with swords. You should really see him cutting the fish flawlessly!”
“Hmmmph! I am the number one swords-dwarf!” he bragged.
I don’t think cutting a fish flawlessly makes you number one…. Gokudera silently thought.
“You sure are!!” Yamamoto agreed, and ruffled his hair playfully.
“Get your damn hands off of him!!”
The dwarf with a scar on his face pulled Squalo back to his side, “This scum is mine!”
“Bossu!”
Aaaa…. What’s with this atmosphere? Gokudera thought as he witnessed Squalo’s face turn as red as a tomato.
Yamamoto laughed again. “Haha! This interesting guy is Grumpy the Xanxus. As you see, he is quite grumpy! Hahahahaha!”
Prince Gokudera couldn’t take this anymore. He shouldn’t be standing here and listening to this idiot’s non-stop babbling! “Listen here, you damn baseball freak!! I ha….”
“I haven’t introduced to you these five. Hahahaha let’s see! This one is Sleepy the Hibari, Bashful the Mukuro, Dopey the Lambo, Sneezy the Futa and lastly here Happy the Tsuna! And he is the head of the Vongola! Ah! These dwarves are from the Vongola family… cool right?” Yamamoto laughed again.
For once, Gokudera got the feeling that being inside the castle in front of Bianchi’s poisonous cooking would not be bad after all, compared to what he was going through now. Being sick to his stomach felt more appealing now, rather than getting a headache dealing with someone's stupidity and annoying laughter. Dealing with a baseball freak and a Vongola family-dwarf... Wait....
"Did you just say Tsuna and the Vongola?" he inquired with interest.
Yamamoto laughed again (and Gokudera has yet to find anything amusing and laughable about) "Yes, and this is Tsuna," he introduced the little dwarf with a spiky hair to the prince again, and this time, the prince paid attention.
"Tenth!" Gokudera exclaimed as his eyes sparkles in delight. "I never dared to dream that I would be able to meet you again, not until tonight! I can't believe we meet again!! " Gokudera dashed towards Tsuna as he kneeled in front of him. "You have my loyalty, Tenth. I swore to God that if I ever had the chance to meet you again, I would pledge my loyalty and repay your kindness until the day I die!"
Tsuna smiled awkwardly as he tried to avoid the glittering light coming from Gokudera’s sparkling eyes. He rubbed the back of his head as he tried very hard to remember this person who just swore his loyalty to him. Did I ever meet him?
“Tenth!” The glittering light that came from the silver-haired prince got even stronger.
Tsuna silently cried as his memory failed to remember. He braved himself to finally question the Prince. “Who are you?”
