Beginning of Rivalry

Well it starts here in the Sawada home where I currently live. Nothing was better for me to wake up in the middle of Sunday and cheer that I had half morning classes today. Impossible as it was for anyone to wake me up from a deep sleep, it was highly possible for 1: Wake me up and you'll find yourself on the floor in 3 seconds flat, or 2: I'd wake up normally and just out of the blue in my drowsiness begin to lecture you about how its bad waking other people up. Ha, only one person could do all 2 and not bear with my bad side since he's a self claimed hitman baby. The arcobaleno Reborn.

Again, you must be wondering who I am. My name's Violet Amare Sawada. Making it a simple introduction since I don't have time to waste.

I got up from bed quickly knowing what could happen next if I didn't hurry. I walked over to the unoccupied restroom, brushed my teeth, struggled to comb my bed hair. I always have a difficult time brushing my brown blond hair. It wasn't so long since it only reached to half my back. After i got out i rushed to the closet and dressed in what seemed like the Namimori High uniform quickly, went downstairs to get a piece of toast and run out to school with the relative that I lived with.

Yep, Sawada Tsunayoshi, Tsuna, was my dame dame cousin. We knew each other since we were babies, at least that's what I've been told. The scary part of being related to him would be that we look like identical twins; except for the gender, hair and eyes of course. His were a shade of caramel while mine were a dark violet/purple. And well, I've heard much of Tsuna over at where I used to live, and just like we were little, he had kept the nickname of Dame-Tsuna without fail nor complaint. It's not that I considered him a loser, it's just that he's not really the most athletic courageous guy I've known, but I never really cared.

Now again, why am I involved in his life? 2 years ago, I was called from my original home town in Japan by people who wanted me to take the position of Tsuna's 8th guardian which is Guardian of the Stars and I'm to live with him because my dad wanted me to get to know my family here. My job inscribed that I would only help Tsuna with school, and make him capable of taking the name of Vongola 10th, the boss of the most powerful mafia group in the world. Like I said earlier, we were heading for school.

We went running because since we both got up late for some reason (Reborn had woken him up with the CPR thingy I have no intention of facing one day), it was already late and we couldn't be late at ALL.

"Tsuna! Hurry up or I promise you I won't let you sleep a wink tonight!", I yelled irritated and spoke hurriedly.

"V-Vio, they're already at the gate! Oh man!", Tsuna panted and paled as we got to the Namimori Middle and High school gate.

If you're wondering the two complete idiots I see in the very morning of school EVERY DAY with no exaggeration and for no reason, its obviously from Tsuna's Family. Can you guess who?

"S-sorry for being late Hibari-san! I will go to class right away!", Tsuna dashed out of his spot and went inside the school building. I sweat dropped. To have a loser cousin was the worst. I still love you though, my same cousin.

I looked at the person I always saw guarding the gates and inside school of Namimori Middle and High, and the town itself. Tsuna's cloud guardian Hibari Kyoya has been the only guy I've ever wanted to rip to shreds. He hated me, and I hated him from the moment we met. It was a hate-hate relationship we had so whenever I would see him, I irritate him to the core like he'd annoy me with his 'I'll bite you to death' phrase. I found out that girls from school didn't mind hearing that phrase of his since he has couple of fans who'd literally die to be bitten to death by his own tonfas.

His face was completely dark as he looked to the other person behind me. I did notice him, but I just didn't want to turn around or I would just rush inside and just run. I wasn't scared of him, he just annoyed me too. He has typical pineapple shaped hair in the shade of dark blue. He always wears his Kokuyo High uniform and has heterochromatic eyes. Right eye red, left eye blue. He's the official mist guardian of Tsuna's besides Chrome Dokuro; Mukuro Rokudo. Unlike Hibari, I don't hate him, he just gets on my nerves because he constantly wants Tsuna's body and is a bit of a pervert in some ways I don't like to name. I know Tsuna was going to be the boss of the number one mafia, but couldn't Mukuro stop his plan just for one day? Sometimes I wondered if Mukuro was gay or something. I giggled easily at the thought that if Mukuro was a homo but I doubted wholely because he also tends to flirt and manipulate every cute girl he sees although its not into his character image. The other reason he annoys me besides Tuna Fish's reason is because he always flirts with me and also tells me he could possess me when he'd felt like it since I was related to the boss. It's no joke, he literally meant it.

"Violet Sawada."

I paled as they both said my name in complete unison. I swear dropped in a little fear since the atmosphere was filled with annoyance and irritation. I sighed.

This was a daily routine that started 6 months ago before I started 10th grade. They would come see me in the gates before school, Mukuro would try to seduce me the most possible way, Hibari would tell me to go to class and see him after school for punishment (to which I never attended). When they see each other, they fight it out right off the bat, and in front of the gate where everything is visible to other people. The other Nami students would just see the show with me while they fought. I always looked at them for those 6 months straight with a 'why does this happen to me' face.

"Get to class, or I'll bite you to death". Hibari never took his gaze off of the pineapple head. I got annoyed at his order and started to walk to the gate quickly, but a hand pulled my wrist back to the place where I stood.

"Don't boss her around like she's your dog, uptight tonfa boy", Mukuro let go of my wrist and smirked. "Maybe the skylark wants to play with this one? How mischievous of him. Will you play with me too, little Vongola?"

My eyebrow twitched. Seducing idiot.

I then face palmed at the trigger the pineapple had set and it drew Hibari to send Mukuro flying to the nearest wall. I paled worse and ran inside the gate and into the building quietly before I was in the middle of the fight . Again.

Why were they always fighting off the bat whenever I would come in school? I mean why school? Even if I wasn't late for school, I'd see them once or twice in the weekends, and Hibari would persuade Mukuro to fight, but he would ignore the prefect and just walk away. Tsuna suggested to ask them both what the heck was going on with the whole violence thing, but we don't know how far their hatred runs down inside their minds. Besides, I rarely get along with them, and it's still going to stay that way.

The other family members are in the section of my best or good friends and family list while those two were on other two separate categories not even close to anything related. Mukuro was in the 'I want to posses your body so I'll seduce you' category, while Hibari was in the hating list. He likes to challenge me into fighting him and when I agree he would enjoy causing bruises and cuts all over my body for amusement. I bet he's not even human.

I made my way to my classroom, apologized to my teacher for being late and sat down on my regular seat near the window. Tsuna sat in front of me and behind was Yamamoto who was dozing off already. Gokudera was on my right.

My best friends consisted of these three, including my cousin. Yamamoto Takeshi was my baseball team captain and buddy and we got along just fine since day one. Gokudera on the other hand, is hard to talk with. We argue non stop and we insult each other yet he is my best friend. It's hard to talk peacefully to him without him directing me an insult. It's something I got used to. It's probably how our friendship works anyways.

"They fought again didn't they?" Tsuna asked me while he gave off his 'they're scary' face. What was Reborn teaching him? He was probably scared of his reflection itself!

"Yep. Pineapple head and Disciplinary boy were at it like always. I rushed inside before they could try anything funny on me." Direct that phrase to the illusionist.

"Haven't you ever thought inside that stupid skull of yours that possibly they could be fighting for your attention", Gokudera told me while staring at the board.

"You mean my brain you idiot".

He only glared.

"Besides, I don't even talk to them that much. What makes you think that they could be interested in me that way? I can understand physically..."

"Violet-chan! Did you forget what day it is today?", Kyoko Sasagawa, Tsuna's crush asked me wide eyed. Wow. Apparently she heard in my conversation?

"No I don't keep track of my days until after school. What is it?"

"Its Valentines Day! Where you get to give the girl or boy you like chocolates and possibly tell them you like them upfront!"

"Oh..."

How did I miss a day this unimportant?

I turned my face away from hers slightly and smirked at Tsuna.

"Shall I give you a day off from tutoring? You should enjoy your Valentine's Day after all."

Tsuna looked at me first then at Kyoko. He turned red and gave me a look of 'Say something and I'll tackle you when we get home'. I replied with a small smile of 'Okay I get you, just don't tackle me.'

"Okay class, time to learn a little bit of English before going into your second period" our teacher told us. 'As you all know, today is also Valentines Day! So for today's novel we will read,'Romeo & Juliet'. Now please open them up to the first chapter. Gokudera-kun can you start off the first chapter?"

As I looked into my desk to find the yellow book (I think the teacher had placed mine inside or something), I noticed I dropped a piece of paper on the floor. Then tumbled down a little red box with a paper attached to its top. I picked them up from under the desk and placed them on top. They were separate things, since the first note's paper didn't seem to match with the one taped to the box.

'Rooftop. After school. Do not be late'.

I looked at the first paper in my hand confusingly. I then picked up the box and opened it. I found a violet rose bracelet, its petal edges outlined with gold. I admired it and read the note found at the lid.

'Violet roses cannot be compared to your own beauty. Meet me tonight at the little park so we can see each other. You already know who I am so keep guessing…'

Huh. Two admirers.

I put it back in the box and wondered. Who could the first person that send me the note so blant, demanding and not specific be? And what about the bracelet? Who were these two admirers?

After my last class was over, I made my way to the rooftop I was supposed to go to meet this unspecific guy. I went up the top high point of the school where I could admire the sky. Then I heard a swish and footsteps behind me. My violet eyes grew wide at the person I was looking at.

'What?! Him?!'

'You have got to be kidding me...'

Ha! Who could this mysterious person be? Only wait and guess for now, the interesting parts will come soon just still thinking how this will go! Bye!

Edited March 9; I decided to edit it a little since it was a little rushed to the point for me and it doesn't introduce Violet as much. Hope you enjoy the story as much I as do c:
