[He eyes Hibari suspiciously, knowing that when the skylark began to smirk like that...]

Should I be glad that I'm having sex with you instead of being pounded to death by you?

[A rhetorical question, but Hibari will have to answer it anyway, won't he~]

[Then again, that question could be taken to mean something completely different. Well, at least the second part.] That depends entirely on you.

[His turn? Okay then.] What does that earring do?

[Snerk. Well~]

Do you want to see? Kufufufu...

[His finger touches the earring, with its silver spikes. Pretty, isn't it?]

[He rolls his eyes, not impressed... yet.]

I would not have asked about it if I did not want to see.

[So yes. Show him.]

[He channels his flame through it and the thing shines with a vaguely indigo light. In his hand, a weapon appears - a khakkhara - with six pointed spikes rather than six rings.]

It produces this.

[Hm, curious. Hibari stands in one fluid movement, prowling around Rokudo, but paying attention to the khakkhara, mostly. Six, six... The six realms? Probably. When he's done stalking around, he steps back, folding his arms in front of his chest and ignoring the way the scabs threaten to crack again.]

I assume that's not all.

[He smiles.

...And the world around them plunges into darkness.]

[Ah, he thought not.
Hibari stands perfectly still in the darkness, not even worried - it's an illusion, obviously, but a very strong one. Stronger than what Rokudo used to make with the Vongola ring, in any case. Hm, so that probably means that the earring is an upgrade of the Vongola ring, somehow...]

Impressive, [He drawls, now turning in a slow circle to see what's around him, even if it's of no use. Fascinating, this.]

[He's standing now - or floating, rather - with the khakkhara's spikes doing the same around the staff. When he speaks, his voice echoes slightly, as if they're standing in some giant cavern.]

I find it amusing how this thing simply does what I can already do without any assistance. As if I need this to create illusions of reality.

[Now he looks up at the other, but focuses his attention on a spot just left of Rokudo's ear. The illusionist might be able to feel his Cloud flames cautiously prodding at the illusion surrounding him...]

An upgrade of the Vongola rings?

[The illusion resists the probing, so complete that it would take a lot of force to break it down if you couldn't see through it. But then, Hibari has never been lacking in brute force, has he? Still, it will be difficult.]

Yes. Vongola Gear, they're called.

[Okay, enough of this blackness. He changes the illusion so that they're sitting outside at a table on the crest of a gently-sloping hill covered in fresh, green grass. He reclines in his chair, drinking green tea from a Japanese cup.]

[Blink blink. Huh. Well, this is certainly a better sight than he'd seen in a while. Yes, he knows it's an illusion (and yes, he still hates illusions) but if they're useful for something like this... So he doesn't actually set about systematically destroying the illusion, instead leaning back in his chair and crossing his legs elegantly, left over right.]

... What is the Cloud Vongola Gear like?

[He points to Hibari's wrist, where a replica of the Cloud Gear has appeared.]

Why not see for yourself? Kufufu...

[He raises his wrist up to examine the bracelet, tracing a long finger over the spikes which are similar to Roll's quills... No, did this mean that...

... Nothing to do but confirm his suspicions, huh. So he deftly channels his flames into the bracelet - nothing happens for a beat, then a flash of light erupts and there's a surprised squeal from a hedgehog. Hibari looks adequately surprised (read: one eyebrow raised) and leans down to inspect the hedgehog snuffling around on the table.]

... Roll.

[Brb fussing over his box weapon. Even if it is an illusion.]

Kufufu~ That isn't all that thing can do.

[But he'll leave you to figure that out for yourself. Unless you want to ask him (nicely)~ He channels flames into his own gear and Mukurou flaps on to his shoulder a moment later, while the khakkhara is nowhere to be seen.]

[He frowns slightly, working out the possibilities from that - hmm, seems like summoning Roll isn't all that he can do with this Vongola Gear... He unfolds his legs and stands smoothly, scooping the hedgehog up with one hand and taking a few steps away from the table.

Hm... What happens if he...]

Roll. Cambio Forma.

[He had worked out how to do the Cambio Forma before Sawada had insisted on destroying the rings, after all - so he assumes that the Cambio Forma of this supposed Vongola Gear would be somewhat similar.

But... he's rather surprised (pleasantly so, of course) when the long gakuran settles around him, and his tonfa appear in his hands - they've apparently been modified, the chains able to be lengthened with the Cloud Flames' propagation ability. Oh, and let's not forget those handcuffs which are now hanging on his belt. Woohoo. A pleased smirk graces his face as he examines the changes with a critical eye.]

Wao.

[Ooh, very good~ He keeps his eyes on his tea so that he won't be accused of staring, because that coat looks Hibari look far too sexy for his own good.

Also, he's hoping that Hibari doesn't decide to test out that new weapon on him, even if it's only an illusion. Not that he wouldn't relish a chance to use his upgraded Gear.

~~He rather envies the Cloud Gear, actually. Why didn't he get any badass weaponry...~~]

[He swings the tonfa around a few times experimentally, as if to test out its balance - it's perfect, and his smirk just grows wider. The gakuran is also very much to his liking, especially the patterning inside of the coat - birds in flight, how appropriate.]

...

[Hey, Rokudo, fight him. Or if you don't want to, give him something to bite to death. There actually might just be the end of a chain whipping past your nose now to get your attention. Grin.

~~It's because illusionists are illusionists - you don't get something as badass as this. It's a rule of thumb. :P~~]

[He pauses, in the middle of sipping his cup of tea, as the chain whips dangerously past and almost cracks the china. Raising an eyebrow at the other and seeing Hibari's grin, he slowly smirks and sets down the cup, rising with a languorous stretch.]

...Mukurou?

[The owl turns back into the khakkhara at his command and the table with its teaset disappears. Don't worry, it'll come back once they're done. That done, he settles into a ready stance, wondering if taking his time made the skylark impatient enough to attack first.

~~Hey Hibari, trade Gear? ;3;~~]

[No, he's not all that impatient. But nevertheless, he's going to attack first. One, two, three steps, and he's already got a kick aimed at Rokudo's face.

Huh, they're always like this, aren't they? Every single meeting they have, it always ends in fighting. Not that he's protesting, no - it's good practice for him.

~~nope.avi. You don't have enough Cloud in you for this. Heh.~~]

[He flows smoothly to one side, the khakkhara knocking the foot aside as he propels himself forward with one of his knives concealed against his wrist. He looks as if he's going to grab Hibari's neck, but if the skylark doesn't dodge he might find himself with a nasty cut.

~~He has some Cloud!! See? /poof!~~]

[No, he's not going to dodge that fully - he twists aside easily and a tonfa comes sweeping down, headed for the other's skull and planning to crack it like the shell of an egg. Heh.

~~Not enough! And too weak.~~]

[The illusion collapses as the tonfa sweeps through where his skull was. The mist reforms behind Hibari with Mukuro thrusting out his ringed staff, one of the spikes shooting out towards the other's back.

~~;3; B-but it should be enough to make a hedgehog, right??~~]

[Whoops, dodging that right now - he doesn't want a spear through his midsection, so he'll be executing a backflip through the air and over the illusionist. And while he's up in the air, there is also a handcuff shooting towards that pineappley tuft to bonk Rokudo on the head.

~~A teeny tiny one. You should stick to growing plants, dude.~~]

[He spins out of the way, a wide, gaping hole appearing in the earth where Hibari is about to land. Thick, twisting vines burst from the ground around them as well, growing rapidly towards the sky with some reaching out to try and snag Hibari. That hole is in case they miss (though Mukuro is fairly sure he can predict what Hibari will do next).

His eyes, if one looks closely, have taken on a less-than-human appearance, slitted and feral as they track the other man's movements. This battle is the perfect chance for him to channel some of that restless bloodlust but it's an ongoing battle for him to control it so that it doesn't rule his judgement.

~~TAT But this wolf...! /sends out Kiba~~]

...Ouch. That's some...discipline.

You asked for it. :|

This is what they call karma. T_T

And Mukuro's got a ton of bad karma. :|

So much bad karma. :(

His fault again, really.

He can't help being bad. :(

Bad boys get punished. -3-

...Kinky~ =3=

Ooh, Mr Hibari, ooh |D
