Gokudera and the Sacred Bookkeeper
Summary:Have you ever wondered why nobody has ever been to Gokudera's place? That's because he's been hiding someone there. Who? Well, that'd be Angelique, a Sacred Bookkeeper, whom Gokudera is stuck with until his death. But, what happens when keeping her will cause chaos and mayhem all over the world?
I. Angelique and Gokudera's First Meeting
"Well then, I'm off Juudaime!"Gokudera exclaimed, as the three friends departed.
"Yeah, see you tomorrow guys!"Tsuna replied, going home.
Gokudera ran to his apartment as fast as he could, hoping to get there before "someone" throws a tantrum. But he can't forget the sweets now, can he?
"Uh... 20 buns please."Gokudera said to the woman behind the counter. The woman raised an eyebrow, but proceeded in dropping the buns into a large paper bag. Gokudera handed her the money, and ran to his apartment building.
He encountered the manager, and ended up having an argument with him over the rent, and continued on his way up the stairs. He quietly opened the door, trying to stay undetected, however, that didn't quite work out.
"You're late."Gokudera turned around and scowled.
"It's not my fault okay, there was a damn line, so don't get mad at me! Stupid bookkeeper!"Gokudera growled. The small girl crossed her arms and gave the older teen a good long stare before proceeding to the sofa.
"It doesn't matter anyways, insolent brat. Now, hurry and prepare for tea."the girl demanded, as Gokudera rolled his eyes and started boiling water.
"Damn girl... How did I even get into this mess?"Gokudera muttered. That's right, it was around the time of the battle between the Varia bastards for the rings...
"Gokudera-kun, are you sure you're alright?"Tsuna asked the injured silver-haired octopus head.
"I'm fine Juudaime, really! I came out alive for your sake, but I'm really sorry I didn't bring back both rings..."Gokudera replied, feeling as though his whole world ended right there.
"It's alright Gokudera-kun, I'm glad as long as you're safe."Tsuna assured, smiling. "Now you should get some rest. Yamamoto-kun's battle is tomorrow."
"That baseball idiot better win for the sake of Juudaime!"Gokudera growled. "Then, I'll be on my way Juudaime, see you tomorrow!"
"See you tomorrow Gokudera-kun!"and with that, they both parted ways.
Gokudera was all of a sudden feeling very weary, after all, he had been cut and bruised, and nearly killed by an explosion. He rested in the nearby park, looking at the moon's beautiful reflection on the pond. That's when he noticed something. A girl was sitting in front of the pond, her long silver hair shining because of the moonlight.
"What the hell is a kid doing here at this time?"he asked himself, holding his right arm, which was heavily bleeding.
"I could ask you the same thing."Gokudera, startled, took out his bombs. It was the girl in front of the pond. He looked at the pond, and back to her.
"How did you get here so fast?"Gokudera asked suspiciously.
"It matter not how I got here so fast, if I explained it to you, you still wouldn't get it."she said, noticing his wounds.
"What.. Are you calling me stupid? Stupid woman, you're picking a fight with the wrong guy. I don't care if you're a kid, if you disrespect me, then I won't forgive you!"Gokudera shouted, lighting his bombs. The girl merely put up one hand, as if telling him to stop talking, and his bombs went out. "What the- How did you-"
"I am Angelique, the bookkeeper of the sacred bibles of the Bibliothèque Mystique. It is no problem for me to do something as simple as put out your unimpressive weapon."she flipped her hair and smirked, arms crossed on her chest.
"What the hell are you talking about? Are you stupid in the brain."Gokudera scowled. Was he seriously supposed to believe that this girl was a "bookkeeper" of some sort of sacred library?
"If you don't believe me, I will show you, you insolent brat!"the girl frowned, and she took out a book and key.
"A book and key, what's that supposed to be? Your diary?"Gokudera was unfazed. The girl's frown turned into the puffing of her cheeks.
"A diary? ! I am not a child! I don't carry such things!"she retorted.
"You are a kid. Well, unless you're some sort of short flat-chested girl."Gokudera received death glares from Angelique.
"What? ! Short? Flat-chested? ! You insolent brat! I'll have you know I've lived since the 18th century!"the girl shouted.
"Then you're an old flat-chested, short girl."Gokudera rolled his eyes.
"Why you... You... You insolent brat!"she was about to hit Gokudera's with the book in her hands, when a giant horde of zombies appeared, coming out of the pond.
"What the hell are those? !"Gokudera asked, taking out his bombs.
"They're zombies you dunce! Run!"Angelique responded, holding up her dress. She and Gokudera started running away, with the zombies in pursuit.
"Why are they here? Do you have something to do with it you stupid girl?"Gokudera shouted, as he threw several bombs behind them.
"Of course not you idiot! If I did, why would I be running away! Do you have a brain? !"she huffed as she struggled to run. It's hard to run in heels you know, but if you've been wearing them for thousands of years, you'd think you'd get used to it.
"Well why are they here?"Gokudera panted as they hid behind trees.
"They've come for my book."she answered, clutching the book tightly in her hands.
"So you do have something to do with this after all!"Gokudera sneered.
"If you knew the infinite amount of power this book has, you'd be after it too! Do not blame me you insolent brat, I am merely the bookkeeper!"she snapped.
"So you're telling the truth? Heh. So you're basically some sort of UMA?"Gokudera asked, kind of interested.
"Do I look like an animal to you? !"she was clearly pissed off. Why would he suggest an unidentified mysterious animal? He could at least say an alien instead, though she wasn't that either.
"Who knows, you could just be taking form as a huma-"Gokudera was cut off as she silenced him, putting her index finger to her lips.
"They're coming."she whispered. All of a sudden, the zombies came out of nowhere.
"Crap!"Gokudera swore under his breath and started running. Angelique ran an opposite direction, but ended up tripping.
"Ah!"she fell on her bottom, dropping the book in front of her. As she reached out for it, the zombies approached her, surrounding her. Gokudera was running through the forest, when he saw her surrounded.
"That stupid girl... But Juudaime wouldn't like it if I left someone to die."Gokudera decided, and went to the rescue. "Stupid girl!"he shouted, holding his hand out. She quickly grabbed the book, and his hand, and they ran away.
"You came back? Are you stupid? ! You could've died!"Angelique said, struggling to keep up with Gokudera's speed.
He picked her up bridal style and continued running. "You should be glad I saved your ass! How are you going to get rid of them?"he asked, as he jumped on a roof of a nearby building.
"Well first of all, put me down."Angelique blushed, as Gokudera let her down. She straightened out her dress and took the key out. "Put it right here."she said, pointing to where her heart was. Gokudera blushed.
"W-what? ! I'm not-"she soved the key into his hands.
"You wanna die? What's wrong with you? ! Wait... Y-you pervert! I'm telling you to open the lock you idiot!"she turned dark red as she realized why Gokudera questioned her.
"What are you talking about? !"Gokudera asked.
"Just trust me! Unless you want to die!"she shouted. That's not good. If he died, how could he ever become his Juudaime's right hand man?
"Fine!"Gokudera agreed. Taking the key, he struck the key directly into her chest, which turned out to be a keyhole in the shape of a heart. Turning the key, Angelique let out a whimper, as this was her first time. (sounds kinda wrong, I know)
~ Pretty oOo Angel~
"That was a close one! Geez, you're a horrible keykeeper!"Angelique scolded, as she sat on a bench.
"It's all your fault you stupid bookkeeper- wait what? did you say? !"Gokudera asked. She did not just say keykeeper.
"It's exactly as you hear, insolent fool. Since you have used the key on me, you are now my keykeeper. You shall protect me and help me protect this book for as long as you live. In short, you are my servant, so I shall begin living with you from this day forth!"Angelique exclaimed, as the sun started to come up. "You insolent brat-"
"Insolent brat! Hey! Insolent brat!"Angelique broke Gokudera out of his trance.
"What do you want you stupid bookkeepe- Crap! The water!"Gokudera shouted as he ran over to the stove. Angelique sighed as she blew a strand of hair out of her face.
"You're stupid... Oh! I also got your report card. Your grades are fine, but what's this about destroying most of the school's property, threatening kids, and disrupting classes?"Angelique asked, as she held the report card in her hands. She may be a small girl and all, but she can hurt you. A lot.
"It's not my fault! Those dumbasses were asking for it! Calling me a freaking lolicon..."he muttered, so Angelique wouldn't hear.
"They called you a lolicon? Hm... Seems I need to visit your school and teach those dunces a lesson."Angelique smirked, as a dark aura surrounded her.
"W-what? ! You were just scolding me about that a few seconds ago! And why do you care if they say that to me?"Gokudera asked.
"W-well.. That's because... Only I can call you names and tease you! Not to mention they're causing you to destroy the school! I hate using the book to repair that school!"Angelique blushed. "N-now hurry up and make my tea! The buns will get cold!"she walked back to the sofa, with her arms crossed.
"Whatever..."Gokudera rolled his eyes and continued to make the tea. Tomorrow was going to be hell, especially since that was the day of Yamamoto's ring battle.
I just couldn't get this story off my mind... Oh Gokudera, why do you and Angelique get along so well? At least you got yourself something supernatural, and it's living in your apartment! xD
Poor Gokudera, having a girl that looks 10 or 9 go to your school to scold the students. In the next chapter, "Angelique's Resolution".
