Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Skylark and Cow! Lightning Strikes!

                                    

                                          

Trigger Warning: Mentions and flashbacks to suicide 
Lambo clutched his side as he breathed heavily, wincing in pain as he searched for a strategy that could help him incapacitate Reborn long enough to rejoin his crew in the ballroom. 
......................................................................................... 
Reborn's arm struck, pining Lambo by the neck as Reborn held him against the wall, his pistol pointed right at the teen causing Lambo to freeze, his eyes staring right into Reborn's cold uncaring ones. 
"No one's here to help you, stupid cow.", Reborn says coldly, flicking off the safety of his pistol in warning, "I told you to give up when you had a chance." 
Then a dark avenging demon appeared from out of nowhere from behind Reborn. 
......................................................................................... 
"Hi-Hibari?", Lambo croaks. 
Hibari turns back to Lambo, giving him a reassuring and confident nod. 
"Go.", Hibari instructed the awestruck teen, "Your nakama is looking for you." 
......................................................................................... 
"What the hell do you think you're doing Hibari?", Reborn hissed as he slowly pushed himself back up to his feet. 
Hibari's eyes narrowed dangerously. 
"What I should've done years ago Arcobaleno.", Hibari growls as he holds his tonfa's up and at the ready. 
"And what, pray tell, may that be?", Reborn asks mockingly as he aimed his pistol right at the Cloud Guardian. 
"I'm here to bite you to death.", Hibari declared. 
A gunshot rang out loudly in the hallways of the Vongola's mansion 
........................................................................................................................................................... 
Hibari ducked down, the bullet missing by a hair's breadth, but the skylark hardly cared as he got close enough to Reborn to swing his tonfas right at his face. Reborn twisted to the side, stepping back, and had to slightly bend backwards so the swing was a miss, causing Hibari to speed past Reborn like a bullet. Without losing momentum, Hibari spun on his toes, kicking out his leg as he does so, only for Reborn to duck and dodge the blow again. With a snarl Hibari lunged forward as he spun one of his tonfas, swinging with the other, attacking fast and hard, refusing to give Reborn any room to breathe. 
Hibari lunged forward, but when Reborn stepped aside to dodge another seemingly oncoming blow, Hibari let him, speeding past the Sun Arcobaleno so he was behind him before leaping up, swinging both tonfas down on top of Reborn. It all happened so fast that the world's greatest hitman was forced to use his forearms to block the devastating blow aimed down at his head, instead of dodging like he has been. The ground at his feet cracked into a small crater from where he stood. Dark onyx eyes narrowed, as time seemed to freeze for a split second as Reborn suddenly fell back, Hibari falling after him. As Reborn landed on his back, he kicked his feet out as Hibari was about to land on top of the hitman, only for Reborn's feet to slam into Hibari's stomach, kicking him off and away as Reborn rolled back to his feet. 
"Wao." 
The Skylark grinned, his dark eyes wide and beginning to blaze with his bloodlust and excitement, but he remained in complete control of his actions. He has no desire of allowing the adrenaline to get to his head as he had in his youth. Doesn't mean he's not going to enjoy this battle; he's been waiting forever for this fight.
