4 Skull the Immortal.

The peace and conversation between me and Skull didn't last long.

"The footprints end here, they must be inside the lighthouse. Look for them." A deep voice echoed through the lighthouse, warning us.

"How did they manage to locate us so fast?." I ask in a cold sweat to Skull who also panicked.

"Hee...eey...I don't even know your name yet..." Skull asked in a sad voice.

"My name?... My name is Sawada Tsunayoshi. But everyone calls me Dame Tsuna." I try to give the best smile I could at this moment.

"Dame Tsuna?." Skull asked in confusion.

"Well, It doesn't matter now. I'm sorry to implicate you in my fight, I'll give myself up and then you can go back to your normal life." I was shocked by what Skull said. Before I could even say anything, Skull was out of our hiding place.

"I'm here, you bunch of shit." I could only hear Skull yell at the men in front.

"The Arcobaleno is here, better chance than this impossible one, kill him."

Kill ?... Kill Skull ?...

Why ?...

In this moment of urgency, something inside me burned. Without me noticing my eyes turned orange.

I, without thinking a second time, ran out of hiding.

But to my dismay, the shots were faster.

Skull who had his little arms outstretched, trying to defend something... Probably me...

All the shots were towards him... Towards a baby.

"Skullllll." I reached a speed I've never been before. Saving Skull was the only thing I had in mind right now.

I managed to get to Skull before the shots. However, at this moment the shots were already in front of me.

Even if I die, I will save Skull.

I stretched my arms as far as I could, trying to keep any shots from going to Skull.

For some reason, I wasn't afraid of death. Maybe it's because this is the first time I've been able to help someone, I've managed not to be a Dame Tsuna.

I hope Skull is already running.

"UNDEAD BODY." The husky voice of a baby I've been used to by now rang out in front of me.

All of this happened in mere milliseconds.

Skull I was supposed to be protecting was now in front of me, being shot through.

Some of the shots went through his little body and scraped at me, making me bleed a little, but I couldn't care less about it.

The only thing important to me right now is Skull.

"Haha. I am the strongest Arcobaleno. I am the one who is hated even by the gods of death, the Immortal Stuntman Skull." Skull, who had taken all the shots in my place, stood up as if nothing had happened.

The Immortal Stuntman Skull. Goosebumps ran through my body, either from relief and from the extremely cool scene happening in front of me.

"Sawada Tsunayoshi. Now I'm going to show you the true power of an arcobaleno. Muhahaha." Skull laughed it terribly, the relief inside me only growing.

I got up to stand beside Skull, the guns then pointed at me and Skull. The men's frightened faces were strangely pleasant.

"TAKO." A red tentacle covered by what looked like a gauntlet came out of the ocean and slammed into the men, throwing their weapons away.

"Muhahaha, fear the power of the great Skull." A giant octopus came out of the ocean. I remember this octopus, I saved it along with Skull, but it's... Much bigger.

"Hold that cursed Kraken, I'll get this Arcobaleno myself." The men stood up and shouted, "Yes, Leader."

The man had a huge scar on his eye, it started on his chin and ended on his forehead.

If it were normal, I'd be shaking with fear, but now I was as calm as the sky.

"Damn Arcobaleno. I've already defeated him once, a second time will be even easier." The scarred man said as he took a machete from his waist.

Skull gasped and even shivered.

"I lost?. The big Skull never lost a fight." This trembling doesn't help Skull.

Skull is easy to understand. Skull, someone I've only known for awhile, protected me with his life and didn't abandon me, when even my own family did.

I took a step in front of Skull.

"If you want to get Skull, you're going to have to step over my corpse." I said the first thing that came to my mind, and I must say it sounded extremely corny.

"I don't have time for your pranks boy, get out of my way now before I cut you in half." The man was extremely angry, his face was very red.

Much to this man's disappointment, however, I didn't get out of Skull's way. I still didn't feel fear or danger from this man.

Unknowingly my orange eyes glowed even brighter, which scared the man, but anger inhibited his rational thoughts of him.

"Then die, boy." The man ran towards me with his machete.

Without fear, I also ran towards him. The man's machete came down towards me, wanting to cut me, but I dodged it easily and threw the hardest punch I could into his stomach.

Blood came out of the man's mouth as he was sent flying to the ground.

This moment I was stronger than ever, the grown man in front of me was so slow, so weak.

This was the first time I experienced something like this. However, I didn't feel happy or proud with this strength, all I have in mind is protecting Skull.

The injured man rose again, blood running down his lip.

Something inside me said to attack his hand, so I did it.

The man tried to pick up a pistol while he was down, so my kick disarmed him.

A second kick to his face was all it took to knock this giant out.

This man's companions were still trying to deal with the octopus. Wasting no time I ran towards them too.

If the man from before looked like a child with my current strength, their companions looked like babies.

The fight then ended with the defeat of the baby kidnappers.

After calling the police, me, Skull, and the octopus named Tako headed back to the house.

Maybe because of the extreme physical strength I used, as soon as I got home I ended up falling into bed, not even looking at the bullet holes that were all over my room.

The octopus (which somehow managed to shrink in size) went back to the bathtub and Skull, being a baby, fell asleep too.

A day of adventure (From near-death), which I never want to spend again, ended like this.
