3rd Person POV

"You know," Tsunami said like she'd just had an epiphany, "if I had really thought this all through then I would have seen this coming," She remarked casually over screams of pain and the sounds of distant explosions.

"Brat-" Xanxus growled.

"No no, hear me out." Tsunami interrupted with waving hands. "See it really should have been obvious that the old dickheads would spring on the chance to get us hitched. I've got the bloodline and you're absolutely terrifying, always a good thing when you're talking about kings and successions by the way."

"VOI! COME HERE YOU LITTLE-" the yelling was drowned out by more deep booms that shook the walls and had little pieces of plaster falling from the ceiling. Xanxus glared at the roof, the sounds of fighting were steadily getting closer, but he couldn't be bothered to get up and end it just yet. They were coming to them anyway so why should he have to move?

"And after all these years of stalking him, I really should have known how Hibari-sama would react." Tsunami moaned with a regretful shake of her head. "Years of loudly declaring my undying, unyielding, immortal, EVERLASTING-" Xanxus switched his glare to the girl and pulled out his pistol.

*BANG*

"Ahem," Tsunami coughed as she picked herself up from her floor dive and ignored the bullet hole that had lined up with her eye, "my love for him then naturally he would start to see me as part of his pack. Or property, he isn't very vocal about these things." She gave the ceiling a glance as she brushed off dust. "The Disciplinary Committee is doing about as well as I thought they would against trained assassins though."

"Badly?" asked the little green haired boy that the Varia had picked up during her failed "City of Love: Romance Trap" plan. Really the least France could have done was be a fairytale land where her entire harem proposed to her at once, But NOOOOOOO.

Suddenly, the double doors to the lounge they were waiting in burst off their hinges towards them.

*CRACK! CRASH!*

"DIRTY MOTHER-" Squalo screamed as he threw himself up and out the doorway in less than a second. Tsunami sighed and started unbuckling the ridiculous high heels she'd been forced into earlier to help mask the age difference of the intendeds. She was going to need to run soon if Squalo was being thrown around like that.

"MAXIUM CANNON!" The wall to their left smashed in as Belphegor was sent flying through. He didn't slow down at all as he went through the next wall and probably three or five more. "EXTREME!" Ryohei bellowed as he chased after his opposite without even noticing the girl he was doubtlessly there to help 'save'.

"Hmm, shirtless and sweaty is always a good look on him, the bloody knuckles are pretty hot too, although why he's missing a shoe is something I'd like to know." She murmured under her breath.

Then he arrived.

Standing in the open doorway was the leader of the assault, Kyoya Hibari with tonfas in hand and soaking wet from head to toe. He was also smirking like he was higher then a kite and loving every second of it.

"Fight me." He says it like a prayer and Tsunami is pretty sure that her entire life is better having heard it, and worse since it wasn't given to her.

"Trash." Xanxus sneers as he stands, pistols draw and bloodlust in his eyes.

Tsunami sighs in annoyance, because of course Kyoya was here to fight and not for her. It just wasn't fair that he cared more about having an excuse to hunt down Xanxus for another fight than he did about 'saving' her from an arranged marriage. What kind of romantic comedy is this with all the fighting and blood, she thought moodily.

"Come on Fran, when two predators are fighting for territory it's best to get to a safe distance."

"Are we going to die?" he asks in a cute deadpan, putting down his book.

"Not if you climb out this window quickly." She points out, hiking up her dress to follow her own advice. She mentally swore that the second she was crowned Decimo her father and every formal dress in the mansion were going to be burned at the stake.

So I'm pretty sure I'm supposed to apologize for the year-long wait, but I don't have an excuse so instead I'll shamelessly ignore it. Hibari is firmly against citizens of Namimori being forced to marry foreign heirs 'against' their will. Or at least he is when Tetsuya reminds him Nami is like a fly trap for powerful opponents. Ryohei thought they were going on a school trip until he realized it was just Hibari, the Committee and him.
